232 Important decisions
Having succeeded in getting Hazel to agree to share a room with him, Chen Xi gained a more secluded foothold in London, which was much more reliable than those high-traffic hotels.
Of course, in Chen Xi's opinion, this is not the most important thing, the important thing is to share a house with a beautiful girl like Hazel, but it is very promising to create a spark.
In the afternoon of the same day, in order to express his gratitude to Hazel for his generous acceptance of him, Chen Xi personally cooked a Chinese meal for Hazel to eat.
It is said that if a woman wants to keep a man's heart, she must keep a man's stomach. The reverse is true. At least, after tasting Chen Xi's excellent craftsmanship, Hazel suddenly felt that it was not such a bad thing to leave Chen Xi to share a house.
After eating, the two were at peace with each other. It's only the first day of living in, Chen Xi naturally wants to be honest. However, he also rarely used his clever tongue to tease Hazel.
Hazel seems to have immunity to his flirtation, and sometimes not only does he not fight back, but he carries out "anti-flirtation", and from time to time he tempts Chen Xi a little, so that he can see that he can't eat.
This made Chen Xi really panic, but fortunately, he also had something to do, and the next day, he asked George Hamm to meet at a business club.
'What is the situation at the other clubs other than Liverpool now?' Although George Hamm will often report some information to Chen Xi, Chen Xi still hopes that George Hamm can give him a summary.
"In the Premier League, Liverpool is the most sincere club for the time being. Arsenal were rejected by us outright, and Chelsea are not prepared to go according to your ideas. Manchester United approached me, and they also offered a contract, and the annual salary is quite sincere, 90,000 pounds a year, the same as Beckham's now, but they have not given any commitment. It seems that they are still busy with Beckham's affairs! Newcastle also sent an invitation, but you know, they don't qualify for the Champions League next season! George Ham started by talking about the Premier League.
Chen Xi actually likes Newcastle in his heart, it is said that they are also one of the most popular teams in the UK, but Chen Xi vaguely remembers that they seemed to be relegated later. This shows that there must be something wrong with the club's operation, so he is not prepared to go on this troubled water.
"What about other leagues?" Chen Xi prefers to stay in the Premier League, but if other league teams are sincere enough and suitable for him, he doesn't mind going out. In fact, he had no intention of staying in the Premier League at all. It's hard to cross over once, if you don't have a good "fun", how can you be worthy of God?
"In La Liga, Real Madrid also offered you a big contract, 5.5 million euros, which is slightly lower than the team's superstars, but they seem to be more inclined to Beckham, you know, Florentino doesn't care about the transfer fee, he cares about the star effect. Laporta is relatively sincere, but he has been busy with the general election recently, and he has promised that if he is elected chairman, he is willing to offer a contract that is not inferior to that of the Galactic Battleship superstars. In other words, the annual salary may reach around 6 million euros, which should be the highest among the teams that offer the highest price! George Hamm continued.
Chen Xi looked at the information of the two teams that George Hamm had prepared for himself. As for Barcelona, there are no superstars in this team, and stars such as Kluivert, Saviola and Riquelme have all heard of it, but it seems that none of them can be called successful at Barcelona. It stands to reason that he has the hope of becoming the offensive core of the team, but such a team that is about to face a big change may be a little worse.
Real Madrid are star-studded, especially in midfield, but their backfield seems to be a bit shabby. In the defenders, except for the two fullbacks Carlos and Salgado, Chen Xi knows, he feels very angry about the others. This not only worries Chen Xi for their defense, but at Tottenham, Chen Xi has had enough of the instability at the back.
Therefore, Chen Xi is still ready to continue to wait and see, if these two teams have something to do in the subsequent transfer market, he may be able to consider it, after all, Chen Xi still wants to experience such a passionate confrontation in the century derby!
Seeing that Chen Xi read the information but did not speak, George Hamm went on to talk about the Serie A team: "Inter Milan Moratti has publicly expressed his interest in you, and even he has the idea to come and talk to you personally, but you have been in the United States before, so I didn't promise him this question." As for AC Milan, Galliani has also contacted me and they are also interested in you and have made a very sincere contract. In fact, AC Milan seem to be keen on signing free stars in recent years, Cafu and Rivaldo are both signed for free, and they also receive high annual salaries. Juventus' Moggi also contacted me and said he wanted to come and talk to you. In addition, both Roma teams have also sent out invitations! ”
Chen Xi recalled the memories before the crossing, he remembered that after the 06 World Cup, Serie A broke out the phone gate, as if Juventus and AC Milan were affected, and Juventus was relegated. even canceled the championship, so if you transfer to the past and work hard to win a few championships, they are all canceled, who will you cry to?
As for Inter Milan, you can consider it, firstly, Chen Xi admires Moratti, the chairman of the fans, and secondly, Chen Xi knows that the situation of Inter Milan without a championship for so many years has made the team and fans full of desire for the championship, which is the driving force for the team to move forward.
So Chen Xi nodded and said, "If Moratti contacts you again, you can tell him that I am in London, and I am willing to meet this respectable old man." As for AC Milan and Juventus, I'm not going to think about it for now. Forget about Rome and Lazio! ”
Chen Xi's meaning is obvious, that is, this transfer, if you go to Serie A, only consider Inter Milan for the time being.
George Ham didn't understand why Chen Xi would turn down last season's Champions League champions AC Milan and Serie A champions Juventus in favor of Inter Milan, but he just nodded. Because he knew that his employer was a very assertive person, and he had never let himself down until now, George Hamm was also unconditionally obedient to Chen Xi.
"Bayern in the Bundesliga also sent you an invitation, they ......"
"Forget about the Bundesliga, the league there is not very competitive, and Bayern's dominance will make the league very boring. I'm still playing in the three major leagues of Italy, England and Spain! Chen Xi interrupted George Hamm's words.
While Chen Xi was talking, George Hamm also used a pen to record something in his notebook.
After introducing the general situation to Chen Xi, he picked up the book and concluded: "Now after our exclusion, there are still Liverpool and Manchester United in the Premier League, Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, and Inter Milan in Serie A. ”
Chen Xi nodded and replied: "That's right, you can talk to these teams in detail and let them come up with specific plans." If I can, I can also meet with their chairman or coach. It's only June, so we can wait until July to make a decision. ”
"Well, I know that. Now that I've narrowed it down, it's much easier for me to deal with it. I'll arrange for you to talk directly with their chairman or coach. At that point, you decide for yourself. George Hamm said with a sigh of relief. During this time, hovering between so many giants, it felt quite cool at first, but after a long time, he was a little tired, and now that there are fewer goals, he is much more relaxed.
"By the way, regarding the construction of the company, I am also going to set up one more department." After talking about the transfer, Chen Xi shifted the topic to the company.
"What department?" George Hamm asked, puzzled.
"Investment Department! We can not invest in industry, but just participate in some venture capital to make a large profit. This is a question that Chen Xi suddenly remembered in the United States a few days ago.
That day, he surfed the Internet in his hotel room, and he was going to find a video site to watch the game video, but he couldn't find a suitable website. This reminded him that YouTube, which became popular all over the world, didn't seem to have come out yet.
This seemed to have allowed Chen Xi to find a direction, and then he looked for Facebook and Twitter, which are known as websites with global surnames, but found that none of them had yet appeared.
What does this mean? Chen Xi doesn't have the technology to do this, so he can't develop these websites by himself, but he can invest in these websites as an investor at the beginning of their establishment, or when they need venture capital, let his investment company inject funds, which is a good thing.
As a traverser, Chen Xi has to grasp this advantage. Although he doesn't know exactly when these websites will come out, as long as he arranges some people in the United States and tells them to keep an eye on them, he may be able to participate in them as soon as possible.
If it weren't for the fact that he thought it was too troublesome for him to engage in industry, he could even find a group of technicians, and then tell the idea of these websites and let them get them!
In fact, the real difficulty of these things is the idea and creativity, and technology is not a problem for some professionals.
However, Chen Xi just wants to make easy money. Originally, he could achieve the effect of fighting big with small through betting, but now that he has become a professional player, it is not convenient to gamble, and his own participation will inevitably produce a butterfly effect, for fear of affecting the general trend of European football in the future, maybe those things in his memory will not happen.
You can't gamble, and you don't know much about stock futures, so you can only invest.
"Venture capital? We're not good at this, and it takes a lot of money, in case we lose it......" George Hamm was obviously a little unreceptive to Chen Xi's whimsical ideas. As a conservative British, George Hamm was not interested in venture capital projects.
"Hehe, I have some channels for this. If you're worried, you don't have to participate, or you can just hang up this investment company under the door of our joint venture company, right? Chen Xi also knew that George Hamm might not be able to accept this for a while, in fact, if he was unwilling to participate, Chen Xi would not care, in this way, he would earn less money.
Seeing that George Hamm was still frowning and thinking, Chen Xi continued: "Do you have any financial or investment acquaintances in the United States?" If so, ask them to introduce me to a few people. I don't need them to be famous, I just need to have channels and then have the negotiation and professional skills in this area. And no other requirements! ”
"The United States? I have a few friends over there, who are also in finance and investment! I'll call them these days to keep an eye out! Are you really ready to invest? And is it to go to the United States? George Hamm asked cautiously. To be honest, it was already difficult for him to accept just investing, and now that he heard Chen Xi say that he wanted to invest in the United States, he was even more bottomless.
"Well, I've decided on this! Don't worry! I'm not going to gamble, I'm just using my spare money. Let money make money is the king! Chen Xi said with a relaxed smile.
"I'm just worried that your money will be swallowed! Invest in this thing, do a good job and make a lot of money, if you don't do it well, you may lose all your money! "George Hamm obviously knows that his relationship with Chen Xi can be said to be both a glory and a loss. So he was really worried about Chen Xi!
"Haha, George, am I such an unreliable person in your mind?" Chen Xi smiled heroically, picked up the wine on the table and took a sip.
Somehow, Chen Xi's heroic laughter seemed to infect George Hamm, who took a large glass of beer on the table and drank it down, saying, "If you decide, I'll follow you!" That investment company let our company go together, count me in! ”
"George, you may find out later that this is the second most important decision you have made in your life!" Chen Xi said with a confident smile.
"Second most important?" George Hamm's mind apparently didn't turn for a moment.
"The most important decision was to sign me! Ha ha! Chen Xi said with a laugh.
"Haha!" George Hamm laughed too!
