There is a saying that if people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries.

Ye Qiu has always felt that everything should be down-to-earth, pay attention to the present, but look at the long-term, these are two different things.

At that time, Ye Qiu took out the funds to buy a six-storey office building at the South Wharf of the financial district, and many people thought that it must be crazy, because the situation of the London financial district at that time was very low, and it was light to say that people went to empty buildings, after all, the impact of the entire European debt crisis on the London financial district was too great.

In just two or three years, London's financial district has slipped from the highest rent in Europe to the sixth place, and it is not enough to say that it is not enough to lose to the Golden Triangle of Paris, but if the average rent in Moscow, Geneva, Dublin and other areas is higher than that of London, it is really too much to say.

Ye Qiu knows very well that the downturn in the London financial district is only temporary, especially with the stimulation of the 2012 Olympic Games, coupled with the gradual easing of the European Union from the European debt crisis, London, as one of the largest financial centers in the world, will continue to play his huge role, so there is almost no suspense that the London financial district will return to the top.

So he found someone to make an investment report that was highly recognized by the outside world and even by the London City Council, and then Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Technology and Huangtian Group made a big push into London real estate, especially Tottenham Hotspur, because this team was just starting out, and many places needed money, especially to build new stadiums.

As a result, there were many criticisms of Ye Qiu at that time, thinking that instead of using money to invest in real estate, it was better to use money to keep the stars in the team, improve the salaries of the stars, and ensure the team's combat effectiveness.

But these are two different things, investing in real estate is a long-term plan, and Ye Qiu feels that it is a profitable project, which can be used to keep the stars in the team, not only can it not be profitable, but it will also bring great financial pressure to the team, are the two comparable?

A few years on, with the Olympics approaching, London's financial district has been reinvigorated, with more and more big companies and young entrepreneurs pouring into the city, and demand for office space has been blowing up since the second half of 2011.

Tottenham Hotspur has invested in several real estate projects, not to mention a hundred times the value of the current year, but at least they have increased several times.

It's like renting a six-storey office building to Messi's family to open an Argentine restaurant, because the location is good, and the subway exit in the core area of the financial district is across the pedestrian bridge, and the transportation is very convenient, so the rent of the shops on the ground floor has reached more than 1,300 pounds per square meter, even if it gives Messi's family a discount, it will be more than 1,000 pounds.

Tottenham Hotspur earns around £3 million a year from this six-storey office building.

In addition, Ye Qiudang has used the name of Tottenham Hotspur Real Estate in the past few years to buy several real estate projects in London, including an office park in the suburbs of western London, and has basically put into the rental market, according to the assessment of the real estate company, by 2014, Tottenham Hotspur Real Estate will have an annual income of more than 20 million pounds.

In other words, the rental income from these properties alone will be enough to ensure that Tottenham Hotspur will bring in a strong first-line star every year in the future, and this will be the annual income in the future.

This is what Ye Qiu said when he defended himself, he doesn't want to be the Florentino of Tottenham Hotspur, he wants to lay the century-old foundation laid by the great president of the Bernabeu in Real Madrid at Tottenham Hotspur!

With Stratford Stadium, coupled with these real estate projects, coupled with Tottenham Hotspur's own healthy operation, who would dare to say that Tottenham Hotspur does not have the foundation of a top century-old giant? And what top club can have such a stable financial income for Tottenham Hotspur?

Therefore, when Ye Qiu and Roland, together with Drogba and Nesta, went south from Theobald to this Messi Argentinian restaurant in London's financial district, Drogba told Nesta that the entire building belonged to Tottenham Hotspur, the Italian central defenders were very surprised.

But after the surprise, it was replaced by a face full of admiration, because the location is so good.

Let's talk about Messi's Argentinian restaurant, this restaurant is just one of the shops on the ground floor, but the business is so good that you can see that many white-collar workers who obviously work in the financial district have come here to eat, and some even simply walk over.

When Ye Qiu and the four of them came, it was dinner time, and there was a long queue outside the restaurant, and they were basically booked in advance, which shows how good and hot the business is.

"I heard, you also have a stake in Messi's restaurant?" Drogba asked with a smile, he also opened his own restaurant, in Abidjan, the capital of Côte d'Ivoire, and handed over to his brother to take care of it, and it was doing well.

Ye Qiu shook his head, "I am a charter company, this restaurant belongs to Messi and his second brother, and the two of them have half of the shares, but most of the funds are out of Messi's pocket, I am responsible for giving certain discounts on rent, and the advantage is that you don't have to pay for eating here!" When he finished speaking, he laughed to himself.

Rodrigo's cooking skills are indeed quite good, especially the barbecue, Ye Qiu salivates every time he thinks about it, he and his wife and children will occasionally come here to eat, or sometimes entertain some guests will also choose here to help Rodrigo play his own signature.

However, this is just a kind of convenience by Ye Qiu, this Argentinian restaurant has become a well-known restaurant in London, they have rented a shop in Zhenhua Building to open an Argentine restaurant, then it will be the main store, but it has become a branch, mainly considering that the location there is indeed better and more atmospheric.

Although it is close to the financial district, it is located on the south bank, and the north bank is connected by a pedestrian bridge, and the most advantageous is the subway exit, but it is still much inferior to the Olympic Park.

The advantage of chartering the public is that others have to queue up, but Ye Qiu doesn't have to.

He walked in directly with three people, and the waiters in the store also knew him, and immediately took him to one of the luxury boxes, which was specially prepared for Tottenham Hotspur, and only entertained people from Tottenham Hotspur.

Don't think that this is taking care of Tottenham Hotspur, this is actually a hype gimmick played by the Messi family, just this box, I don't know how much advertising money is saved for them every year, countless fans come to London and want to come here for a meal, maybe there is a chance to meet the players of Tottenham Hotspur, and even Ye Qiu and Messi and others.

What Ye Qiu didn't expect was that as soon as he sat down and ordered food, Messi came in, it turned out that he had returned to London from his vacation early, and he just came to the store to take a look, and by the way, to see if there was anything he could help with.

"Hi Leo!" Nesta stood up and politely extended his hand to Messi.

"Hello, Alessandro, welcome to Tottenham!" Messi also smiled and shook Nesta's hand.

Drogba and Messi are very familiar with each other, they were mixed together when they were at Chelsea, that is, Nesta, they have always been opponents before, and they played to the death last season, Messi also fought against Nesta on the field, and now they are teammates, and the first meeting is very important.

Messi shouted outside, and the waiter walked in again, "Tell the big boss, just say that Mr. Ye Qiu and a few distinguished guests are here, and he has to cook his best dishes and bring out his best skills!" ”

The waiter hurriedly ran to the kitchen, while Messi sat next to Ye Qiu with a smile, "Head, I have a treat for today's meal!" ”

Someone rushed to treat him, of course Ye Qiu would not refuse, and nodded with a smile.

At present, Messi's income is more than 40 million euros a year, and Tottenham Hotspur has won more than 40 sponsorship contracts for him from world famous brands, plus salaries and bonuses, making Messi a veritable big money absorber in football, even surpassing Beckham and Cristiano? Ronaldo.

Therefore, the money for dinner is a waste for Messi!

"What about Jorge?" Ye Qiu asked casually.

"He's busy in Argentina right now, the resort in Rosario is about to open, and my dad specially told me to invite you to travel at any time, the scenery there is really amazing!"

Ye Qiu smiled, "Okay, I'll go when I'm free!" ”

The five of them sat together, and the topic shifted from Jorge to the pregnancy of Messi's girlfriend Antonella, which has been reported by the media after the Champions League final, so Drogba asked a few casual questions, and finally returned to football, which is understandable, after all, everyone here is football.

However, Nesta was a little surprised, because he found that the topics between Messi and Ye Qiu and Roland were very open, and although Drogba was new to the city, he was also outspoken when discussing some more sensitive topics.

For example, when talking about the team's front-court tactical combination, Ye Qiu mentioned that Drogba and Messi are like two extremes of completely different types, and these two extremes represent insolvability, one is physically great, the other is technically superior, and Cavani is just in the middle of the two, very comprehensive.

But Drogba said that in fact, he also has a very delicate side, he thinks he can also be competent for some delicate tasks, but he talked about the biggest change from his body in the past few years is the decline in speed, he no longer has the explosive power and impact of his peak, and his words are full of veteran sighs.

Messi is a bit of an ant challenging the elephant's joke, saying that he wants to challenge his shooting skills, and that whoever loses will follow the example he did when he was at Chelsea, stripping his butt naked and lying on the goal line, and letting people kick the penalty from the penalty spot.

From this atmosphere of conversation, Nesta can feel the respect and love that Drogba and Messi have for Ye Qiu.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Drogba did not hesitate to give up Chelsea's high salary to retain him, and he wanted to join Tottenham Hotspur.

…………

When Ye Qiu and a few people were eating in Messi's Argentinian restaurant, Peter? Kenyon was busy talking on the phone at White Hart Lane, after all, it was already July, and it was only a few days before the team's training camp, and he had to finalize the right-back that Ye Qiu wanted during the team's training camp, as well as the team's multiple transfer transactions.

He first called Everton chairman Bill? Kenwright, ask about Seams? Coleman's transfer possibility, which is a bit of a scarred spot right now, as City want to poach their rookie Rodwell.

Of course, for Everton, no player is not for sale, the key is that you have to show sincerity, which is the price.

On the right side of Everton is the veteran Hibbert, the player who was shaken by Coleman's arrival in the main position, because of Coleman's frequent injuries last season, but in Moyes's eyes, he still believes that Coleman is the future of the team, after all, the Irishman is only 23 years old.

Bill? Kenwright soon called Moyes, but the latter, apparently not intending to sell Coleman, sternly rejected Tottenham Hotspur's inquiries and told Beal? Kenwright, over time, Coleman will be able to sell for a higher price than it is now, because Tottenham Hotspur is now at most 10 million euros, which is not as good as Rodwell.

Perhaps feeling a little dangerous, Moyes called Coleman himself and told him that Tottenham Hotspur was interested in him, but he was very aware of the Irishman and finally persuaded the Irishman, who promised to stay at Everton, and Beal? Ken Wright also called back Peter? Kenyon has rejected Tottenham Hotspur's transfer request.

At the same time as Coleman hit a wall, Barcelona's pursuit of Alba and Alves has never stopped, the reason is very simple, Real Madrid also wants to bring in these two stars, although Real Madrid currently has Arbeloa on the right and Vargas on the left, but Florentino's Galaxy Battleship II has been committed to superstaring at the same time, but also promoting localization and youth.

So the introduction of Alves, strengthening the strength of the right side, the introduction of Alba, strengthening localization and youthfulness, is very in line with Florentino's team building philosophy, but also in line with the current needs of Real Madrid, so Real Madrid is chasing these two players of Tottenham Hotspur fiercely.

Before the European Championship, Alba's value was around 14 million euros, but with the excellent performance of the European Championship and his foothold in the Spanish national team, Alba's value soared to 30 million euros, which is already a very staggering price for a full-back.

But good fullbacks are hard to find, and now the bubble is flying in the transfer market, especially in the Premier League, where there are many local tyrant teams, money is not a problem at all, the value of the players has soared, and the value of these two players has also risen.

For Peter? Kenyon proposed on the phone that the youngster Montoya would be used as part of the transfer fee to transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, and Barcelona's technical director Subisareta did not refuse, because after the introduction of Alves, Montoya's position in the team is to be a substitute, and the transfer expenditure of introducing two full-backs will be very staggering, if Montoya can be used to cut some transfer fee spending, it would be good.

However, the two sides soon reached a stalemate over the transfer price of Montoya, with Barcelona believing that the youngster was worth at least 10 million euros, while Tottenham Hotspur only allowed Montoya to be the maximum of 4 million euros in Alba's transfer fee, and there was a huge gap of 6 million euros between the two sides.

The outside media also began to receive the news, and the daily newspaper of Catalonia was the first to disclose the news, believing that Barcelona may use the youngster Montoya to exchange for Tottenham Hotspur's rookie Alba, but soon, Tottenham Hotspur officially denied it, saying that the team had no specific action.

But soon, the newspaper also took the lead in revealing the scoop, saying that it got the exact news from a certain Tottenham Hotspur senior that Tottenham Hotspur's real target was not Montoya, but Carvajal of Real Madrid's second team.

The newspaper also vowed that it had received very positive information, Real Madrid had made an offer of 35 million euros for Alves, and Florentino wanted to package Tottenham Hotspur's two full-backs for a sky-high price of 70 million euros to weaken Barcelona.

The arms race between the two giants in the Spanish Super League has been completely white-hot, and Real Madrid and Barcelona both see the transfer of Alves and Alba as a powerful weapon to strengthen themselves and weaken their opponents, especially Real Madrid, who won the league title from Barcelona last season, and now it is natural to fall further into the ground.

Barcelona president Russell was on his toes, but now the situation has forced him to endure a lot of bleeding, especially in order to poach two full-backs from Tottenham Hotspur, and the decision was made quickly, with Dutch centre-forward Robin van Persie moving to the Red Devils for a whopping €30 million.

At the same time, Subisareta's transfer offer for Alves and Alba sent to the White Hart Lane stadium has also been increased again, with the package price of the two players rising from 65 million to 70 million euros.

Obviously, at this time, Barcelona can already be said to be smashing the pot and selling iron, if this transfer deal is completed, plus Alexander, who was introduced from Arsenal for 19 million? Song, Barcelona's transfer fee this summer is nearly 100 million euros, which is also a very rare big deal in the past few years.

However, Tottenham Hotspur did not make a decision soon, but put it on hold for the time being, but newspapers such as The Times, The Guardian and the Daily Mail soon reported an inside story, revealing that Barcelona had made a final offer for Tottenham Hotspur, with a transfer fee of up to 75 million euros for the two players.

The Spanish media reacted quickly, believing that it would be absolutely crazy to bring in two full-backs at such a price, but a considerable number of people believe that it is not just a matter of the value of the player, but also a matter of open and secret rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Quite simply, these two players went to Barcelona, which is equivalent to strengthening Barcelona and weakening Real Madrid, and vice versa, so money is no longer an issue at this time.

Isn't that what the so-called arms race is all about?

In Ye Qiu's previous life, Alves transferred from Sevilla to Barcelona at a sky-high price, wasn't this how it was born?

But just when the outside media was hype, Ye Qiu took his assistant Mauro? Tasotti came to Raul's house in Madrid as a guest, and when the reporter photographed Ye Qiu appearing at the Madrid airport, the entire transfer market boiled again, and many people speculated that this was the rhythm of Ye Qiu's face-to-face negotiations with Florentino.

But some people speculate that Ye Qiu is going to visit Montoya in person, because the Spanish Olympic team is in the northwest suburbs of Madrid, in the training base of the Spanish Football Association in Las Rozas, to prepare for the London Olympics. A high-priced transfer to the Red Devils Manchester United.

At the same time, Subisareta's transfer offer for Alves and Alba sent to the White Hart Lane stadium has also been increased again, with the package price of the two players rising from 65 million to 70 million euros.

Obviously, at this time, Barcelona can already be said to be smashing the pot and selling iron, if this transfer deal is completed, plus Alexander, who was introduced from Arsenal for 19 million? Song, Barcelona's transfer fee this summer is nearly 100 million euros, which is also a very rare big deal in the past few years.
