Chapter 439: I'm a Manchester United fan

On November 6, Hideki Hanyu participated in a children's writers' exchange forum under the arrangement of the association.

How do you describe the process?

Everyone chattered, then exchanged contact information, and finally ended quickly.

After all, they are all writers, and they are not businessmen and politicians, so how can they have so much time to idle around.

After the early finish, Hideki Hanyu didn't wander around London.

Without him, the weather in London in November was just too bad.

It rained for at least fifteen days throughout the month.

It's cold and humid, and it's extremely uncomfortable, making Hideki Hanyu miss the sunny days of Hawaii and California.

He really couldn't figure out why those rich Middle Eastern people in later generations liked to spend so much time in England, and what was there to do in this ghost place.

Of course, he actually has more important things to do besides the weather.

I found a painting material store, bought a full set of tools and materials such as canvases and easels, and returned to the hotel at noon to start creating.

He was going to prepare a gift.

Visit Christopher Tolkien's gifts.

As a result, Hideki Hanyu, who was immersed in creation, accidentally forgot about having dinner with the vice president in the evening.

If it weren't for Joden's careful attention, he came to remind him that Hanyu Hideki Hachicheng released other pigeons.

However, after a nourishing meeting with the president, Hideki Hanyu returned to the hotel and continued to prepare his gifts.

The next day, Hideki Hanyu had a meeting with his book fans in the grounds of the association in the heavy rain.

Because the association reminded him in advance that there would be many children present.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu is dressed very close to the people this time, with black-framed glasses on his face, jeans on his bottom, a blue sweater on his upper body, and a cartoon logo printed on his chest.

It is none other than the signature character of Genie Entertainment, Pikachu.

The image of PokΓ©mon has been promoted by Elf Entertainment without sparing any effort, and now it has not become as popular as it has been in later generations, but it has a wide range of popularity.

Among them, Leather God, as the king of popularity, has launched co-branded products with many brands, and is also well-known in the UK.

There is popularity, the image is cute and kind, and Hideki Hanyu does not choose who it chooses.

Besides, in this time and space, he is the father of PokΓ©mon.

Even with the addition of Tajiri Tomo, new PokΓ©mon are constantly being created by him, but it will not shake his status in the slightest.

Sure enough, Hideki Hanyu's look today was loved by the children.

Of course, the main thing is that others are good-looking, and no matter how they dress up, they are pleasing to the eye.

Otherwise, if all the other balding writers had come, the children would not have been blind.

During today's event, Hideki Hanyu interacted with the children and donated money to a British child protection organization, which was mixed with the title of charity ambassador.

And all this has been followed by the British media throughout the whole process.

Anyway, when I was painting at night, I saw a report on the TV about the news.

The direction of the report is quite positive, and it is praised from beginning to end.

What contributes to children's education and enlightenment, contributes to children's charity, etc......

It's also normal, he's a children's author.

Whether it is the content or the style, the works are entertaining and educational, focusing on family and friendship, highlighting a truth, goodness and beauty.

is not the popular king who was wrongfully accused of molesting boys in later generations, resulting in a boyoper who came to the UK for Christmas.

The media will not be able to get along with him when they are full.

In the evening of the same day, Dante Kane led the team of Hope Angel Investment from Amerika to London.

After landing, I didn't even check in to the hotel, so I came to meet Hideki Hanyu first.

After the meeting, Dante Kane looked at Hideki Hanyu, who was sitting in front of an easel to create, and asked.

"Boss, let's come in a hurry this time, there is something to do."

"Look at the information."

Hideki Hanyu has been next to it, and there is a folder there.

Dante Kane immediately picked up the folder, opened it and looked at it.

This folder is Hanyu Hideki asked Tetsuya Aragaki to help, and the information about the Aikang computer was prepared, as well as the current situation.

Of course, Tetsuya Aragaki and his subordinates are not professionals, and what they can collect is only an approximation, but this is enough.

After a few moments, Dante Kane put the folder down.

"This Akken computer is really unlucky, two years ago the turnover could reach tens of millions of pounds, but last year just started to invest heavily in research and development, this year it encountered a depression in the home computer market.

Looking at their negotiations with the Italian computer company Olivetti, it is obvious that the problem of the capital chain is very serious, and the two founders want to tide over the difficulties, and eighty percent of them want to give up control of the company. ”

When Dante Kane said this, he asked Hideki Hanyu curiously, "Boss, did you let me come for this company?" Are you ready to get involved in the field of home computers? ”

Faced with Dante Kane's question, Hideki Hanyu didn't plan to tell the other party that he didn't care about Aikang Computer's loss-making PC business at all.

What he wants is the chip design of the ARM architecture.

In later generations, he deserved to be the monopoly hegemon in the field of mobile chips.

He just said, "Go and help them get through it, and then take a controlling stake." ”

"What do we need to do with the company after we take it?" Dante Kane asked.

"We can assure the founders of Aikang Computer that they will not interfere in their business for the time being, but there is a premise, that is, to ensure the investment in the research and development of ARM processors."

Hanyu Hideki commanded.

He didn't want to affect the development of iKang computers for the time being.

After all, the mobile era has not yet arrived, so let Aikang Computer go through the original script for a while.

And in his opinion, even without the control of the Italian Olivetti computer company, the final outcome of Aikang Computer will not be too good.

After all, the decline of home computers in the late eighties was inevitable.

"Okay, I got it." Dante Kane jotted down Hideki Hanyu's explanation.

"You don't have to stay in London, I've already asked people to arrange everything in Cambridge, go there overnight, start negotiations with Aikang Computer as soon as possible, I just want to hear the successful result, understand?"

"You'll hear about success, boss."

Dante Kane gave his assurance, then said goodbye to Hideki Hanyu and hurried towards the city of Cambridge.

As for the success of Dante Kane's trip, Hideki Hanyu is not worried.

The troubles encountered by Aikang computer cannot be solved by itself.

But for Hope Angel Investment, it is only a minor problem.

And compared to the Italian Olivetti computer company, which is full of ambition and wants to control Icon's computer.

I hope that angel investment is simply playing the role of a savior, and even after controlling the company, it has no intention of managing the company.

For the two bosses of Aikang Computer, it is not difficult to choose.

After Dante Kane left, Hideki Hanyu continued to work and was busy again until the early hours of the morning.

It's November 8th.

On the third day of Hanyu's arrival in London, the award ceremony was just one day away.

Early in the morning, Buckingham Palace staff came to meet with Hideki Hanyu and explained in detail what to pay attention to when awarding the medal the next day.

For example, grooming, such as etiquette, how to call the queen when you see it......

Anyway, Rory said a lot, and Hideki Hanyu was really impatient to listen.

The main thing is that Jordon promised him today that he would take him on a good tour of London.

For Joe Deng, who is a staff member of the Library Association on the surface and is suspected to be an underground tour guide in London, Hideki Hanyu is still quite looking forward to it.

Besides, it's been the third day in London, and it's a shame not to go out for a walk in a good sunny day.

But at this time, he had to listen to the chatter of this pretended old guy in front of him with a royal accent, and he would be hell if he could be patient.

Just when Hanyu Hideki's patience was about to run out, the words of the person in front of him were finally finished.

Hanyu Hideki sent the other party away with a "happy" face, and turned his head to let Qiao Deng take him away, and the old man in the province remembered something, and then killed the horse gun back.

After leaving the Dorchester Hotel, Hideki Hanyu was led by Joe Deng to walk around London from east to west along the River Thames.

At noon, I tasted a delicious French meal.

If you want to ask why you eat French food in London?

It can only be said that although the British have daily milk methods, their bodies are still very honest.

Fish and chips are still a French meal, and everyone knows which one is better.

There's a joke in Europe that says so.

"Heaven is the English policeman, the German technician and the French cook; Hell is a German policeman, a French technician and an English cook. ”

Hideki Hanyu felt it made sense.

Especially after Jordon recommended him to try an after-dinner dessert, Hideki Hanyu recognized this sentence even more.

Because for the first time, he realized that it is so sweet that it is not a description.

That little cake felt like it was made from a concentrated extract of white sugar, and the sweetness hit my head.

As soon as he took a bite, he said that he didn't like sweets and was not blessed.

Continue along the River Thames towards the west.

After entering the Fulham district, he suddenly saw a rather lively scene.

Some people held up various signs and rushed noisily towards a place.

Hanyu didn't see what the slogan said, so he asked Jordon curiously, "What's going on?" ”

"The ......"

Jordon scratched his head in embarrassment, as if he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

It was only after a while that Jordon began to explain, "It's a bit complicated, these people are moving Stamford Bridge out of the Fulham area. ”

Stamford Bridge?

Hideki Hanyu thought to himself that he was familiar with this name, although he was not a fan of a specific team in his previous life, he could be regarded as a football fan.

When I was young, I was still making up a football book by my mother.

He knows a little bit about the Premier League during this period.

Last year, the top league of English football, which is League One before the Premier League, ranked first in European points.

However, although the points are the first, it is necessary to talk about fame......

That can only be described as bad, and the big names of English football hooligans are well-known in Europe.

Also last year, on May 11, 56 fans were killed in a fire at Bradford Stadium.

On May 29, in the final of the UEFA Champions Club Cup between Liverpool and Juventus, the Heysel tragedy broke out that shocked the world football world, and the clash resulted in the death of 39 fans.

Then the English football club was sadly banned from European competitions by UEFA for five years.

At this moment, it can be said that English football is at its most sluggish.

Not to mention the fact that the team has been kicked out of European competition, the stadium infrastructure is outdated, the stands are crowded, football hooligans are everywhere, and the reputation is terrible.

A few years later, in the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, there was another accident in which 96 fans were killed and more than 100 injured.

Well...... That's right, it's Liverpool again.

The leader of football hooligan culture is not in vain.

Of course, this accident was due to the quality of the stands.

However, it can be seen that watching football games in England in this era is also a high-risk behavior.

Of course, it is precisely because of these bad realities that English football has decided to change.

In order to improve the infrastructure, in order to solve the financial crisis of lack of funds, in order to return to the post-European war to improve competitiveness, and in order to improve the embarrassment in the transfer market.

The Premier League was born.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu asked Joden.

'Stamford Bridge, it's Chelsea FC's home stadium, right?'

'Yes, the descendants of Chelsea's founder, Mills, have just sold Chelsea to Ken Bates, and then the developers who already coveted the land for the stadium started to make a fuss again, and they wanted to move Stamford Bridge, and those people ......'

Jordon pointed to the people with signs in the distance, "Eighty percent of them are organized by real estate developers." ”

"I see." Hideki Hanyu said.

He had heard of Ken Bates, the man who would later sell Chelsea to Roman Abramovich.

For the sale price of 60 million pounds, Abu also took on the club's debt of 80 million.

At the time, Abu undoubtedly did the wrong.

Think of the terrible state of professional football in England today.

Hideki Hanyu felt that buying an English football team to play at this time was a good time to buy the bottom.

After all, because of the ban on European competitions, the main players of each team have been lost, and good players have not been attracted in the transfer market, and the competitiveness of the game has declined, which has further caused financial tension and repeated losses.

The most important thing is that at this time, the morale of the fans is low, and the team investors can't wait to get rid of the trouble.

Just find someone with prestige to endorse you.

The resistance to buying a team will be very small.

At least it's much smaller than the Premier League since its inception.

As for the endorsers......

If memory serves, Prince Charles has several funds under his name, among which the 'Charles III Charity Fund', which is named after charity, looks very pleasing to the eye.

Well, when the award is made tomorrow, you can have a good chat with Prince Charles.

He, Hideki Hanyu, deserves to do his part for the world's philanthropy.

Glancing at the Stamford Bridge protesters in the distance, Hideki Hanyu shook his head secretly.

Chelsea, although based in London, are definitely not the best option.

Although Chelsea have done well in the English top flight in the past two years under the leadership of manager John Neil.

Even if Chelsea were relegated in 1988, it didn't matter.

After all, with the help of him, a rich man who travels through the world, it would be absolutely no problem to stabilize the situation and go further.

But Hideki Hanyu bought the team just to have fun, by the way, to increase his personal influence, and to help the company promote it through the team in the future.

But I don't really plan to be a manager in the team.

Most...... At most, leave a note for Chelsea that says don't buy Jaxon.

This is, of course, a joke.

If he buys it, he has to buy a club that has a foundation, and he doesn't have to worry about it, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

Thinking of this, he looked to the north.

In a city in the northwest, there is a forty-five man with his assistant, who is about to embark on a new professional journey.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu turned his head and asked Jordon.

"Mr. Jorden, I wonder if you know anything about Manchester United?"

Beside.

When Jordon saw the crowd of protesters at Stamford Bridge, he began to froze there, looking like he was wandering and didn't know what he was thinking.

But suddenly, someone turned his head and asked him if he knew anything about Manchester United.

Jumping from London to Manchester, from Chelsea to Manchester United.

He deeply felt the speed of Hanyu Hideki's thinking, but he still opened his mouth to reply.

"Didn't I tell you, sir, that I, though now settled in London, am I a Manchester?"

"Sorry, maybe there is, but I forgot." Hideki Hanyu said sincerely.

'Well, if you ask Chelsea, I probably don't know much, but if you ask Manchester United, I know everything, because our whole family has been Manchester United fans since my grandfather.

Jordon spoke of Manchester United with a pride on his face.

Then he said, "If you want to know Manchester United, I can tell you for sure that Manchester United is definitely the greatest team in the world. ”

Facing a proud Joden, Hideki Hanyu unceremoniously gave the head drink.

He asked with a chuckle.

"Hehe, how did I hear that Manchester United are about to enter the relegation zone?"

"Uh-"

Qiao Deng felt that Hideki Hanyu couldn't speak, so how could he directly reveal the scar.

Unconvinced, he explained, "It's all temporary, Atkinson just led the team to the FA Cup last season, and the Charity Shield. ”

"Atkinson, is that the manager who spent Β£1.5 million to break England's transfer fee record to sign Brian Robson? It doesn't seem to spend much money, and the league results are so poor that they are about to be relegated. ”

"Uh-"

Jordon said that this guy in front of him is really annoying, why do he always talk about league results, it really doesn't give him face.

However, seeing that Hideki Hanyu can say so much about Manchester United, Jordon feels that he does not need to explain any more.

Then he spread his hands and said, "Okay, Atkinson should really get out of class!" ”

After speaking, he asked Hanyu Hideki curiously, "Mr. Hanyu knows Manchester United so well, is he also a fan of Manchester United?" ”

"Sort of, but I'd like to know more about Manchester United, and if Mr. Jordon doesn't mind, can you tell me more?"

To find out more, Hideki Hanyu doesn't mind making a cameo appearance as a United fan.

Of course, he won't remind the other party that Atkinson is indeed going to be out of class.

Hearing this, Jordon raised his hand and looked at his watch.

"Mr. Hanyu, it's not too late to talk about Manchester United's affairs later, we were supposed to go west for a while, but we were delayed a little bit just now, and we should move on to the next trip."

"What's the itinerary?" Hideki Hanyu.

Jordon replied, "Go to the West End and watch a stage play by the way." ”

……

London's West End.

In later generations, it was famous for its 'old town', 'commercial street', 'theme tourism', and 'theater culture'.

In an area of less than 1.6 square kilometers, there are more than 40 theaters, which can attract tens of millions of visitors every year, contribute hundreds of millions of pounds to the box office, and are known as the world's two largest theater centers along with New York's Broadway.

However, in this day and age, due to the recession brought about by the British economic transformation, the old city has entered a stage of hollowing out.

In addition, the audience for local theaters is getting smaller and smaller, and it has not been able to attract overseas tourists for the time being, a large number of properties are vacant, and theaters have also closed down on a large scale, and the rest are struggling to maintain.

On the contrary, because of the rise of British pop music and rock music, the recording companies that originally recorded dramas in the West End took advantage of the situation to transform into record companies, and many vacant properties were converted into recording studios.

The Beatles, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie and many other well-known British singer bands have recorded in the West End.

As a result, the West End became the centre of popular music in the UK.

Recording studios, musical instrument stores, record companies are everywhere in the West End.

And the boom of rock 'n' roll has also led to the development of nightlife in the West End.

The rapid expansion of the bar industry in the West End, and the abundance of nightlife has brought prosperity to the West End, as well as rampant nighttime crime.

So when Jordon took Hideki Hanyu on a tour of Denmark Street in the West End, he immediately told him after introducing a former Beatles recording studio.

"Mr. Hanyu, you'd better not play here alone late at night."

"Thanks for the reminder, I see."

Hanyu Hideki replied, but in his heart he thought, if you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't be interested here.

After all, he was not interested in the art of stage plays.

I remember watching Takarazuka's performances twice, and he almost fell asleep offstage.

And he wants to know more about the current situation of Manchester United than about the history of the West End, but unfortunately Joe Deng is concentrating on being a "tour guide" at this time, and he has no time to talk about Manchester United for the time being.

After walking for a while, when the two came to a block, Jordon pointed to the houses on both sides of the street in front of him.

"The Hay Theater on the left, the Queen's Theater on the right, and the stage play I arranged for Mr. Hanyu today is the 'Pajama Fairy Dance' at the Licorice Theater."

Uh-

Hearing the name "Pajama Fairy Dance", Hideki Hanyu suddenly couldn't arouse the slightest interest.

As the owner of a Hollywood studio, he had heard of the famous revue written in the 50s by the famous playwrights George Abbott and Richard Bissell, which won a Tony Award in 1955 and was remade into a movie.

A sweet and greasy old-fashioned love story that takes place in a pajama factory, and by the way, a little more union issues are added.

Old-fashioned and boring, that's the evaluation given by Hideki Hanyu.

But it's all here, and it's clearly Jordon's carefully prepared itinerary.

Especially when Hideki Hanyu walked into the Hay Theater and saw the theater manager greet him warmly, and asked him to take a photo of the cultural celebrity.

He was too embarrassed to refuse.

And just like that, the tedious musical-watching began.

Sitting under the stage, Hideki Hanyu looked around and saw that the audience for the performance was not full of theater.

It can be seen that under the impact of pop music and rock bands, traditional musical and dance dramas are a bit unpopular.

In particular, these theaters are still not enterprising, and they are always clinging to the old repertoire of decades old, which is strange if they can attract young audiences.

In fact, not to mention now, even in later generations, song and dance dramas are on a declining trend.

Broadway, London's West End, these places, many times rely on foreign tourists to support their development.

"Hah-"

Hideki Hanyu covered his mouth, forcibly suppressing his sleepiness.

watched the heroes and heroines, as well as a group of supporting actors, pretentious on stage, singing lines from decades ago.

Hideki Hanyu really wanted to sleep.

At this moment, the main song was sung on the stage.

Although the music is a little old, it has the flavor of a golden age, which finally makes him a little interested.

Along with the song, a female character is drawn out, and while singing, she turns around at the front of the stage.

This actress is somewhat familiar.

The instinctive "sense of smell" from the scumbag makes him feel that this is a beauty.

Moreover, he definitely knows the actress.

I wanted to take a closer look, but the other party was not the protagonist, so I quickly withdrew.

Even if it appears occasionally, because there are not many scenes, coupled with the stage makeup, I can't see each other's appearance clearly for a while.

Thinking that Jordon said that he often came here to watch stage plays, Hanyu Hideki simply pointed to the supporting actress in the corner of the stage play and asked.

"Jordon, do you know that actress?"

When Qiao Deng heard this, he immediately looked at the actor Hanyu Hideki was talking about, and immediately showed an expression like a confidant.

"Mr. Hanyu also thinks Catherine's performance is very good, when she came to the West End, I thought that sooner or later she would become famous on the stage, and I heard that the Licorice Theater was interested in making her the leading role......

Jordon was still there talking.

But Hanyu Hideki had already remembered who this person was in front of him.

Catherine Zeta-Jones

(Picture)

The other party can be said to be the first 'English Rose'.

In the mid-to-late eighties, he became famous in the United Kingdom with song and dance dramas, and his popularity broke the circle, so he began to enter the film and television industry.

However, Catherine Zeta-Jones's film and television road did not go as smoothly as a musical show.

It took ten years to become famous with "The Legend of Zorro" and Sean Connery's "Sky Trap".

Thinking of the CBE medal he will be awarded tomorrow, this one has also received in the future.

Hanyu Hideki, who was going to refuse, didn't value that medal more and more.

But at this time, Hanyu Hideki didn't care about the medal or not.

It's rare to meet a beautiful woman, of course he wants to ask out for a drink and chat, and talk about life.

As the owner of a Hollywood studio, he also has an obligation to discover beautiful women for Hollywood.

Thinking like this, Hideki Hanyu felt more and more that this stage play was a bit of an eyesore.

After more than an hour of hard work, the stage play finally ended.

That's when the theater manager reappeared.

Aki Oki, who was full of enthusiasm, sent out an invitation, hoping to take a photo with the stage actors.

Hanyu Hideki, who had a small abacus in his heart, readily agreed.

After the group photo.

Hideki Hanyu found Catherine Zeta-Jones, naturally expressed her appreciation for the other party's performance, and invited the other party to have afternoon tea together.

Although Katherine Zeta-Jones did not know Hideki Hanyu, the manager of the theater had already said that Hideki Hanyu was a famous writer who was about to be honored at Buckingham Palace.

The celebrities who received the royal awards, coupled with the scumbag wearing a British retro suit, completely highlighted the excellent appearance and perfect figure.

Such a handsome man openly extended an invitation in front of everyone, and immediately satisfied the vanity of a seventeen-year-old girl.

So after a little hesitation, Catherine Zeta-Jones agreed, "Sir, please wait a minute, I need to go backstage to remove my makeup and change clothes." ”

"No problem." Hideki Hanyu shows a gentlemanly demeanor.

Up close, Hideki Hanyu was very pleased with Katherine Zeta-Jones.

Today's Catherine Zeta-Jones is not as mature and beautiful as she was in the future.

But the whole person exudes a beauty of purity and vitality.

Of course, although the appearance and temperament are not mature, the figure is completely mature.

Well, Hideki Hanyu can only say that the necklace used for decoration that the other party just wore was very white and very large, and it looked a little fake.

Hideki Hanyu is interested in studying whether the gem is real or fake.

At this moment, Qiao Deng next to him came up.

I witnessed Hideki Hanyu send an invitation to Catherine Zeta-Jones, and saw that the actress he admired actually agreed.

Qiao Deng immediately said in a resentful tone.

"Mr. Hanyu, why did you invite Miss Catherine?"

"Can't I invite him? I remember that the English law states that you can ...... at the age of sixteen Ahem! It's time to drink. ”

Hanyu Hideki temporarily changed his words halfway through his words, after all, if he really said it, Qiao Deng's eyes would only be more resentful.

After all, it can be seen from the introduction of the other party just now that Jordon admires Catherine Zeta-Jones very much.

Of course, it may not be the love, but the love of the singer for the actor.

can see the young actress he admires being hooked up, and it's no wonder that Jordon is in a good mood.

"That's not what I'm talking about, didn't we just say that we're going to find a place to talk about Manchester United?"

Hearing Jordon mention Manchester United, Hideki Hanyu's eyes immediately lit up.

Manchester United is of course important.

Crucially, it seems to be a good assist for tonight's game against Katherine Zeta-Jones.

Thinking of this, he immediately said to Jordon, "Of course, if Mr. Jordon wants to, we can have afternoon tea together later." ”

Look at the time, although it is already past four o'clock, it is a little late for afternoon tea.

But it doesn't matter at all, it's just an excuse.

Besides, it can be regarded as a high afternoon tea.

Then, when Hideki Hanyu was at the exit of the theater and waited until Catherine Zeta-Jones, who was dressed in a black trench coat.

The other party found out that Hanyu Hideki actually had a lot of entourage.

The girl suddenly frowned a little, thinking that Hanyu Hideki was too unreliable, how could she date so many people.

A seventeen-year-old girl, her mind will not be hidden at all, and it is all written on her face.

An old scumbag like Hideki Hanyu saw Catherine Zeta-Jones's thoughts.

"Miss Catherine, this is my bodyguard...... and this is my life assistant....... ”

After introducing the bodyguard and assistant, Catherine Zeta-Jones's eyes already showed a hint of surprise.

Because from this accompanying configuration, it can be seen that Hanyu Hideki is definitely not just a famous writer.

At this time, Hideki Hanyu continued to introduce Joeden.

"This is Mr. Jorden, who works for the British Library Association."

Being introduced to the musical performers he admired, Jordon unconsciously straightened up.

But helplessly, his hairline is completely receding, and his small belly is obvious, and his image is really "stiff".

Standing next to Hideki Hanyu, there is no doubt about the green leaves that are properly used to set off.

Of course, in order to reassure Katherine Zeta-Jones, Hideki Hanyu will not only introduce this.

He deliberately put his mouth close to Catherine Zeta-Jones's ear and whispered.

"Mr. Jordon knows a lot of British playwrights, and I'll introduce you to them later, which will be good for your career development."

The first time I met, Hideki Hanyu thought about her like this.

Catherine Zeta-Jones immediately forgot what she had just thought.

By the way, he also ignored Hideki Hanyu's slightly intimate movements.

Next, Hideki Hanyu, who is unfamiliar with the place, asks Jordon to recommend an afternoon tea restaurant.

The actors who admired it were in front, and in order to show it, Qiao Deng immediately contributed a private afternoon tea restaurant.

However, to Jorden's dismay, with Hideki Hanyu by his side, Catherine Zeta-Jones was not interested in him at all.

Even if he does name a few playwrights who are good to him.

After all, the scumbag is full of flowers, he knows everything, he will tell an interesting anecdote, and he will tell a joke, and the funny beauty will smile.

That's it, or Hanyu Hideki didn't reveal his other identity.

In the restaurant.

Looking at the two people chatting with themselves in front of him, completely treating him as air, Qiao Deng could only repeat the old words.

"Mr. Hanyu, don't you want to know about Manchester United?"

Hearing Manchester United, Hideki Hanyu immediately came back to his senses, "Of course, I'm very interested in the news of Manchester United. ”

"Manchester United? Is it that football club? Catherine Zeta-Jones asked.

As an Englishman, she naturally knows Manchester United.

"That's right, Catherine." Hideki Hanyu replied.

Catherine Zeta-Jones immediately wondered, "Is Hideki also a Manchester United fan?" ”

Nearby, Jordon heard the men and women in front of him call one Catherine and the other Hideki.

The tone that became intimate without knowing when made the corners of his eyes twitch.

'Of course, I like Manchester United a lot.

Hideki Hanyu replied, then looked at Joden, "Mr. Joden, I'm very interested in the news of Manchester United, I heard that the current owner of Manchester United is Mr. Martin Edwards. ”

Hearing Hideki Hanyu talk about Manchester United, Jordon put aside other thoughts for the time being.

However, Hideki Hanyu's last mention of Martin Edwards made Jordon show an angry expression.

"Humph! Don't mention Martin's bastard, his father, Mr. Louis, who helped Manchester United rebuild after the Munich air disaster, and he was hell-bent on selling Manchester United! ”

When Hideki Hanyu heard that Martin Edwards was going to sell Manchester United, his eyes lit up.

Even the little beauties around him didn't care about it, and hurriedly asked Jordon, "Can you tell us more about Martin's sale of Manchester United?" I didn't know that before. ”

"It all started a year ago......

Next, Jordon told what he knew.

Hideki Hanyu also has a rough idea of the current ownership of Manchester United.

Louis Edwards, the father of current Manchester United chairman Martin Edwards, joined the Manchester United board of directors after the Munich air disaster.

In the beginning, Louis Edwards owned 54 per cent of Manchester United through investment.

In the seventies, Louis Edwards bought some of the shares from another shareholder, Alan Gibson.

Of course, Jordon said that Louis Edwards helped United rebuild, which may seem true to Hideki Hanyu.

But if you say how much the fans like the chairman, that's not necessarily the case.

Anyway, when the future looks at the news, Manchester United fans seem to hate the Edwards father and son as much as they hate the Glazer family.

However, after the death of Luiz in 1980, when his son Martin took over as chairman of Manchester United, the fans' dislike was even worse.

Because this guy not only cares about the management of the club, but also wants to sell Manchester United.

Especially after the English club was banned from European competition, the idea of selling Manchester United became more and more urgent.

According to Jorden, the closest to the acquisition is the British publishing and media tycoon 'Robert Maxwell'.

The other party had negotiated with Martin Edwards about the acquisition, but gave up because the price was not negotiated.

It is said that Martin's asking price is not high.

But at that time, Robert Maxwell had just spent more than 100 million pounds to buy the Spiegel newspaper group, and began to compete with Rupert Murdoch for the News of the World and The Sun.

Therefore, it failed to meet Martin Edwards' offer.

"I see." Hideki Hanyu said softly.

Faced with a president who is bent on selling the club, it would be strange if the fans could support him.

However, Hanyu did not know that in the late 80s, British businessman Michael Knighton was also planning to buy Manchester United from Martin.

Bought 51 per cent of the shares for Β£10 million and also pledged Β£10 million to upgrade Old Trafford.

Michael Knighton couldn't afford the Β£20 million acquisition, so he attracted several investors.

But it seems that it is about to be negotiated, and the price has been negotiated with other minority shareholders.

Some of the investors wooed by Michael Knightton chose to withdraw, causing Michael Knighton to fall short, and finally had to choose to give up and just enter the board of directors.

Of course, in the early 90s, Manchester United went public, which led to the takeover of Rupert Murdoch, which led to the 'coalition of shareholders against Murdoch', and finally was halted on the grounds of monopoly.

and the ensuing series of power struggles, which almost sacked Ferguson and ultimately left the team in the hands of the Glazers.

Hanyu Hideki is clearer.

However, when Jordon finished talking about the current situation of Manchester United, he saw that Hideki Hanyu fell into thought again.

He instinctively felt that Hideki Hanyu seemed to be more than just trying to get to know Manchester United.

He thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Mr. Hanyu, why do you want to know so much about Martin?" ”

Hideki Hanyu smiled slightly, "I said it all, I'm a fan of Manchester United. ”

"Really?" Jordon was suspicious.

"Of course it's true." Hideki Hanyu said categorically.

He wants to buy Manchester United, but it's just a plan for the time being.

He doesn't intend to reveal his purpose until he is fully prepared.

Seeing that he couldn't ask why, Qiao Deng simply stopped asking.

And continue to stay here to see the relationship between Hanyu Hideki and Catherine Zeta-Jones heating up, he also felt that he was in a bad mood, so he simply got up and said goodbye.

When the news of Manchester United arrived, Hideki Hanyu did not plan to leave a light bulb to affect him to hook up with beautiful women, so he politely sent Jordon away.

And just after Jordon left.

Catherine Zeta-Jones seemed to see something, and asked Hanyu Hideki curiously, "Did Hideki lie to Mr. Joden?" ”

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he thought to himself that this seventeen-year-old girl really didn't have a city government, and she would tell the truth to the outside.

And after the other party's voice fell, he immediately showed a helpless expression that everything was seen through by you.

And then said it in a tone that seemed to be joking.

"Catherine is so smart, how do you know I want to buy Manchester United?"

PS: My hand feels a little better, and I am more than 10,000 today.
