Chapter 711: Only Young Master Huan!
“go! go! go! saints! ”
The moment the final whistle blew, the entire Saints Harry Bar was completely boiling.
Countless people raised their beers and glasses in their hands, clanging, gurgling, and drinking sounds, the forgetful carnival on the dance floor, and of course, the screams of this group of fanatical fans!
This scene is not unfamiliar!
Almost whenever it's an away game in Southampton, fans who can't make it to the road with the team gather at the Saints Harry Pub, where they join all the Saints fans to watch the Saints play.
But tonight there are even more people!
Turkey's football hooligans are well-known in Europe, even more than England, the old football hooligan powerhouse, so Turkey's away stadium is generally not recommended by clubs to go with the team, and the same is true for Southampton.
Therefore, in this game, there are not many fans who go to Istanbul, but there are more guests who come to the bar.
Saint Harry sat at the bar with a smile, it was rare that he hadn't drunk tonight.
It's just that the scarlet rosacea nose is still very conspicuous.
"Hey, Harry, you're looking for me?"
A guest about Harry's age sat across from the bar and pointed to Heineken as soon as he sat down.
Since Heineken sponsored Southampton, the brand has become a bestseller in Southampton and is now the official beer for most Saints fans in Southampton.
Beer Heineken, red wine Kailon Family, this has become the standard for Saints fans!
"Harry, would you like a drink?" John said with a smile.
He's known Harry all their lives, they've grown up together, and it's clear at a glance that he's not drinking tonight.
In normal times, even if Harry was already drunk, if someone invited him to drink, even if he was drunk, he would have to accompany him to the end, but tonight......
He shook his head!
"Oh my God, hey, look at all of you, our Harry said he couldn't drink? Could it be that the sun has come out of the west? John laughed out loud as if something strange had happened.
When everyone around heard this, they immediately followed suit one by one, and they all booed Saint Harry.
Harry shook his head helplessly.
He is popular, and he is the president of the Saints Harry Fan Club, everyone loves him on weekdays, and they also know that he is good at everything except greedy cups, so when they saw that he didn't drink, they made jokes about him one by one.
John grunted and drank a glass of beer, and sighed very happily, as if he was seducing the wine worm in Harry's stomach, and laughed, as if to say, you kid is hungry!
Then, he pointed to the empty glass and motioned for the bartender to have another glass, and then lit a cigarette for himself.
"Tell me, Harry, what's the matter with me?"
Harry hooked his finger at him, motioning for him to come closer, and he was bullying himself.
"Today, someone from the club came to me and talked to me about something." Harry looked cautious.
"What's the matter?" John was a little strange.
His instincts told him that Harry didn't drink tonight and it must have something to do with it.
Saint Harry, who can make him so addicted to alcohol, not even drink alcohol, it can be seen that this matter is not simple!
"They asked me if I would be interested in moving Saint Harry's Bar to the new stadium."
"New stadium?" John's eyes lit up.
As all Southampton fans know, the team's new stadium has been completed and is currently in the final stages of renovation.
The club also publishes the latest progress and news on the official website and mobile aPP almost every once in a while, and it is tentatively expected that Southampton will open at the new stadium at the start of next season.
As for the investment of the new stadium, it has always been rumored, for a while the media will disclose the naming rights of the stadium, and the other will disclose what companies will settle in the new stadium and so on, all kinds of news are very disorderly and complicated.
Even earlier, Charlene Lahri had said in her column that Southampton was planning to try out a free ticket system.
God knows what this is all about?
Balls free?
Who in the whole world has ever played like this?
No! Only Master Huan!
But on the contrary, all the Saints fans are looking forward to it, because Young Master Huan can always play new tricks.
So, now as soon as John heard Harry say that it had something to do with the new stadium, he was immediately curious.
"Every step of the way from design to construction of the new stadium has been carefully designed, and I have heard that the investment inside the stadium is almost complete, the naming rights have not been sold, but there are many companies interested, but the club is thinking about who to sell to."
"This time, their idea is that there are nine supporting buildings around the stadium, which are not small, one of which is for Wangjiang Pavilion, one for Tingyuxuan, one for the official fan store, and the other five have also been rented out, but one is intended to stay as an official fan bar."
When John heard this, he finally understood, "So, they want you to go?" ”
"Yes!" Harry nodded, "Because they feel that we are the best and most successful of all the Saints fan bars, so although there are many companies and companies interested in building bars, Young Master Huan still considers us first!" ”
John knows in his heart that this Saints Harry Fan Club is definitely a die-hard among Saints fans, and in the past few years, no matter the wind or rain, whether it wins or loses, the Saints Harry Fan Club has always been the most active fan group in the stands of St Mary's Stadium.
And in the past few years, the team has officially cooperated and interacted with the Saints Harry Fan Club, and the two sides know each other well.
In addition, Saint Harry's Bar has long been featured in the team's official magazine and introduction, and many foreign tourists visiting St Mary's Stadium have named them to visit Saint Harry's Bar to experience an authentic British fan pub.
So, moving to a new stadium, I naturally hope that Saint Harry's Bar will follow.
"John, you know, I don't have much culture, I only have a heart for Southampton, and I also believe that Young Master Huan will definitely not cheat me, but, you know, moving to a new stadium, it takes a lot of investment."
John also understands that a bar owner like Harry can only be # middle class, and if you want to say how rich, it is definitely not.
However, when I went to the new stadium, the bar area was larger, and the cost of decoration and relocation was needless to say, and the operating costs such as rent and staff alone would be several times higher than now, which was equivalent to expanding the scale of operation.
So, Harry's concern is certain.
"But you should also see that the situation now is that after the team moves out, St Mary's Stadium will be demolished, and your bar will have to be demolished at that time, and of course, you can go to some places where the rent is cheaper and continue to operate, but you have to think about it."
"What?" Harry listened intently.
"Since Young Master Huan has made a decision to use one of the buildings as a fan bar, if you don't go, the club will definitely find someone else to do it, and even don't rule out doing it yourself, at that time, everyone will involuntarily move towards it, what should you do?"
John's words made Harry nod his head, which was also what worried him the most.
"Young Master Huan and the club's approach is very kind, they give priority to you, unless you don't do it, but I think that the team moves into a new stadium, the capacity is larger, the attendance is definitely higher, and you have also seen that in the past few years, the number of fans in the team has increased, and when the time comes, it will be next door to the new stadium, and it will be able to play the sign of the official fan bar in Southampton, do you think there will be no prospects?"
In the end, John is the most educated of all Harry's friends, and he is also an executive of a multinational company in London.
"And you mean, move?"
"Well, you must move, it's a rare opportunity!" John nodded in affirmativeness, "If it's a funding problem, I think, maybe I have a way to solve it?" ”
"What's the solution?" Harry's eyes lit up, and his biggest headache was money.
"Since it is an official fan bar, then simply solicit investment among the official fans, set up a company, and everyone will hold shares according to the investment ratio, and I will be the first to support you when the time comes!"
When Harry heard this, he immediately laughed, yes, why didn't he think of it?
With the scale and influence of the Saints Harry Fan Club today, as long as Harry ascends to the top, there will definitely be many people who are willing to invest it, and when the time comes, this fund will not be a problem at all, but ......
"What's wrong?" John was a little surprised to see Harry's sad face.
The latter smiled awkwardly, "John, you know, I haven't read any books, but I just relied on my enthusiasm to build such a bar, and by chance, a fan club was established, but I really don't know how to run it." ”
When running the fan club, everyone is familiar with each other, and they grew up watching the football game, and we will follow what others do, plus the big guys are gossiping and expressing their opinions, so it's not a big problem.
Even when I used to run this small bar, it wasn't a big deal, didn't it just sell beer?
But now, with Southampton making a name for themselves and Saint Harry's Bar popping up more and more, Harry is clearly feeling the pressure to run and feel that he doesn't know enough to do so.
A small bar is already like this, so wouldn't it be even worse if you increased your investment and invested in a big bar next to the new stadium? What if I lose the money that everyone has invested in?
Hearing Harry's words, John immediately laughed.
In fact, everyone in the fan club knows what kind of goods Harry is, just ask, what big things can a fat man who is greedy for cups do?
But why do so many people still like him and like this place?
It's because Harry is pure enough, and the bar he runs is pure enough!
It can be said that John has been to many big bars in London, and he has also been to large and small bars in Southampton, only Saint Harry has the most authentic British fan pub taste.
"Harry, you, don't think too much, don't be presumptuous, believe me, you must be fine, otherwise, how could Young Master Huan find you?"
For Young Master Huan, Saint Harry was still very convinced.
Can someone who is incapable take Southampton to the heights it is today in four years?
"Besides, there are a lot of people who know how to run a pub, and I have a friend who runs a bar in London, and he's pretty good, and if you want, I'll help you poach him."
Harry nodded intently, he genuinely felt that running a bar, especially a big one, was difficult.
"But, Harry!" "You must remember that people like you here because you and some of your ideas are attracted to you, and you are far better and more important than you think!" ”
"I believe that Young Master Huan chose you because of these shining points in you, not your ability to run a bar, otherwise, it would have been twenty or thirty years, and your Saint Harry's Bar is still so big and broken!"
In the end, John himself couldn't help but laugh.
Harry was also a little ashamed, because John was telling the truth!
"Oh, by the way, there's been a lot of news about the new stadium lately, is the club planning to announce it?" John asked casually.
"Well, yes, I've heard that it's only been a few days!"
"Oh?" John listened with some excitement.
I don't know if Young Master Huan will bring any kind of surprise to people when the time comes.
It's really a little exciting to think about!
