Chapter 155 When Happiness Comes Too Quickly

"Just say it, don't waste your words, or I'll have Lao Wu throw you from the top floor of St. Mary's Stadium into the Itchen River!"

Yang Huan laughed and cursed on the phone.

After hearing this, Long Wu, who was standing by, was very excited and was ready to try.

Throwing people into the river?

He had never done anything so exciting before.

"No, no, no, Master Huan, I don't dare!" Sun Yue immediately begged for mercy with a smile. How could this kid not look afraid at all?

"I got the data early this morning. As of midnight last night, the number of downloads of this single on the Apple Store has exceeded 150,000, ranking first on the UK pop song chart!"

"What?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

Just this one song was posted online, and in less than twelve hours, it was downloaded over 150,000 times?

Are you kidding?

Sun Yue was very satisfied with the surprise effect created by his sudden attack. "This is mainly due to the success of your marketing strategy, Master Huan. Last night at St. Mary's Stadium, before the game started, we arranged for her to sing a song. With the help of the TV live broadcast, the effect was amazing, more powerful than any other singer's advertising promotion."

Yang Huan was happy because it meant that Yoona was going to be famous!

"Okay, stop flattering me!" Yang Huan quickly remembered something else. "Hurry up and make some arrangements. Strike while the iron is hot. Send out the MV today and create some controversy on the Internet."

"Understood, I'll do it right away!" Sun Yue was also a little excited.

How could he not take the MV seriously since it was directed by Young Master Huan himself?

Moreover, he himself has seen the post-production effect, which is indeed subversive enough, especially in the end, the burly Ibrahimovic actually left his phone number for the fat Psy, which is so gay.

It's too easy to hype up such a controversial MV.

Besides, Yoona already has a good reputation.

If it still doesn’t become popular, it would be really unfair!

"Oh, by the way, Master Huan." Before hanging up the phone, Sun Yue remembered that he had another thing to do.

"What's up?"

"Mr. Pini Zahavi was waiting for you last night."

"Tsk!" Yang Huan slapped his forehead. After talking with Terry Matthews last night, he went straight home and actually forgot about Pini Zahavi.

"Where is he now?"

"I'll arrange for him to stay at the Grand Harbour Hotel. How about I give him a call and ask him to come over?"

"No, I'll go there myself, you can come too!"

This time it was indeed my own problem. I had agreed to meet and talk, but in the end I forgot about it.

Since I haven’t had breakfast yet, I might as well go over and eat together.

Thinking of this, Yang Huan hung up the phone, signaled Long Wu to take the newspapers on the table, go back to change clothes and go downstairs.

"Breakfast will be ready soon, you..." Horikita Maki heard the noise and walked out of the kitchen.

"I have something urgent to do, so I'm going out to eat!" Yang Huan walked to the shoe cabinet and changed into a pair of shoes for going out.

Horikita Maki watched him rush out with Long Wu, then turned back to look at the kitchen. She had gotten up early and prepared the meal carefully. She had specially prepared it after Yang Huan ate it with gusto last time.

"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. I'll eat it myself!" She turned around and went back to the kitchen angrily. She didn't even notice that she felt a little disappointed.

But what are we losing?

"Master, which one do you want to take today?"

In front of the garage, Long Wu looked at the row of luxury cars in front of him and asked Yang Huan.

Yang Huan was looking at the Southern Echo in front of him. He raised his head and glanced at it casually. "Whatever, how about a Land Rover?"

"Okay!" Long Wu walked over, took the key, started the car and drove out immediately.

Yang Huan sat in the back seat and continued reading his newspaper.

As expected, Charlene Lahrie's column gave a high evaluation of Southampton's performance, but also pointed out Southampton's problems, believing that if the Saints want to continue on the dark horse road of the FA Cup, they must solve the midfield problem.

Vidal and Stroman are both very strong, and the key lies in the defensive midfielder position.

If they encounter a weaker team, Southampton will consider having Vidal and Strootman play as double defensive midfielders, and let Adam Lallana, Isco or James Rodriguez play as attacking midfielder.

However, the teams they will face in the FA Cup will definitely be strong teams, and Schneiderlin is not yet able to play the defensive midfielder position among the three midfielders.

This also poses a hidden danger for Southampton.

Especially considering the game against Chelsea, Schneiderlin was almost responsible for Southampton's goal after Drogba intercepted the ball. This must be taken seriously.

If Southampton wants to continue on this dark road, they must proceed cautiously and carefully.

Yang Huan also thought it made sense.

In Southampton's current lineup, the problem with the defensive midfielder position is indeed very big.

Vidal and Strootman are not the traditional defensive midfielders, Schneiderlin is still too young, and Hammond is okay but not trusted by Bielsa, which leaves the team's defensive midfielder position with weaknesses and gaps.

As early as the summer transfer window, Yang Huan had noticed this and he was determined to bring in Mascherano.

But what Mascherano wants is the tall, rich and handsome guy like Barcelona, ​​and he doesn't like the trash like Southampton.

"Oh, by the way, that bastard Abramovich still owes me two people!"

And it’s free to import.

Yang Huan suddenly thought of this and immediately searched his mind, are there any players in Chelsea that Southampton needs?

In the defensive midfielder position, Chelsea’s current defensive midfielder is Mikel, but is the Nigerian’s mobility suitable for Southampton?

But apart from Mikel, Essien is not the kind of defensive midfielder who can hold his position.

In addition to these two players, does Chelsea have any defensive midfielder?

Oh, by the way, David Luiz can also play as a defensive midfielder, but...

Chelsea, which used to have a lot of beast-level midfielders, now doesn't even have a decent defensive midfielder. How embarrassing is this?

Turning over a page of the newspaper, Yang Huan saw a photo of Abramovich.

Sitting in the car, through the window glass, the Russian raised his right hand to cover his face, with a look of fear and embarrassment.

"Wow, this old guy can also be so unlucky?"

After watching the news, Yang Huan found out that Abramovich had sneaked out through the side door last night.

"You think you're so smart, haven't you heard that the paparazzi in England are omnipresent? Even if you go to the toilet in your own bathroom, they can still smell you if they really want to follow you."

Although Long Wu didn't know the whole story, he felt it was powerful.

"Old Five, do you think Abramovich will be so angry that he will vomit blood after reading this report?"

Long Wu was driving in front, laughing, "Master Huan, if I were him, I wouldn't even dare to read the newspaper, to avoid vomiting blood."

"Smart!" Yang Huan was in a good mood and praised.

When we arrived at the Grand Harbour Hotel, Sun Yue was already waiting in the lobby.

The two went to the hotel restaurant, and soon after, Pini Zahavi arrived.

"Sorry, I was too busy last night!" Yang Huan stood up and explained as soon as he saw Pini Zahavi.

Yang Huan’s explanation was a bit far-fetched, but the important thing was that he was willing to explain.

Pini Zahavi was a smart man and of course he knew the reason. If Yang Huan didn't want to cooperate with him, there would be no need for him to even explain. So his depressed mood that had lasted the entire night immediately turned from cloudy to sunny.

"Master Huan is very busy, I understand."

Last night he saw with his own eyes Yang Huan going out with Terry Matthews, Southampton's most popular mayoral candidate.

Or maybe they were discussing something very important and had been talking about it for the entire night.

"Come on, Pini, the breakfast here is good, let's eat first and then talk about things."

"good."

The four people sat down at four sides, each ordered a breakfast, and chatted casually.

After finally finishing breakfast, they each ordered a drink before getting down to business.

"Master Huan, I have a report on the players I just received yesterday. They are all relatively young. I know Southampton has always been interested in young players, so..."

As he spoke, Pini Zahavi handed over a document.

After Yang Huan opened it, he took a rough look at it, flipping through it casually, paying more attention to the names of the players recommended by Pini Zahavi, and then combining them with his own memories.

After reading it, he handed the document to Sun Yue.

"Pini, why are there only players from Belgium or Eastern Europe?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

Pini Zahavi laughed, "Master Huan is indeed a very observant person."

After seeing Yang Huan's pleased smile, he continued to explain: "In fact, I think that a qualified agent should not only be good at managing the transfer and business operations of those big-name stars, but also be good at helping the team he serves to discover young rookies."

"The transfer bubble in the four major leagues is very serious at present, and the competition for players from South America is also very fierce and they are in great demand. Therefore, from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, less popular leagues such as Belgium, as well as some players in Eastern Europe, are more worth introducing."

"The most important thing is that the youth training level in these regions is very high, and the players trained are also very good."

Yang Huan agreed with this.

Belgium's youth training has been quite outstanding in recent years. A group of players including Kompany, Dembele, Fellaini, Vertonghen, Vermaelen and others have already made a name for themselves in Europe.

But there are still many outstanding newcomers among the Belgian youngsters, such as the already famous Lukaku and Eden Hazard.

In addition, there are players like organizing midfielder Witsel, forward Benteke and midfielder De Bruyne who are not well-known but have outstanding strength. It can be seen that Belgium is indeed strong in the reserve of youth training talents.

This group of Belgian players have more or less attracted the attention of European teams. It goes without saying that it is difficult to introduce them, and the cost is certainly not small. Many players' value even reaches eight figures.

Therefore, Pini Zahavi did not recommend these already well-known players. Instead, he recommended a group of young players, such as Adnan Januzaj, who is currently playing for Anderlecht youth team.

If Yang Huan remembered correctly, Januzai should have joined Manchester United in his previous life and was highly valued by Ferguson.

Was it recommended by Pini Zahavi?

He seems to have deep business dealings with Manchester United, as he is Ferdinand's agent.

In addition to Januzaj, Pini Zahavi also recommended several other young players. They were all very young. Some of them were known to Yang Huan and had already made a name for themselves before he traveled through time. Two of them were already being targeted by Southampton scouts.

There were a few others he didn't recognize, and they didn't seem to be typed out.

But from this point of view, Pini Zahavi's scouting network is still very strong.

Yang Huan took the document from Pini Zahavi from Sun Yue and asked Sun Yue to hand him a pen.

He put a big tick on the report of several young players he was familiar with, and then handed it back to Pini Zahavi.

"We want these players in Southampton!"

Pini Zahavi was shocked. Is this the right decision? No need to discuss it with the coaching staff?

Why do I feel like I’m going to a supermarket for shopping?

I have heard for a long time that Yang Huan has the final say on Southampton's transfers. Pini Zahavi was a little bit unconvinced before, but now it seems to be true.

Just a few ticks may determine the fate of these young players in their future lives.

It’s really enjoyable when you think about it!

"In addition to these players, we also want to introduce a player, Pini. I want to let you run the operation?"

"Leave it to me?" Pini Zahavi was a little flattered.

Didn't this happiness come too quickly?

I just sold a few young players, and now I see a big order coming in?

But after thinking about it, Pini Zahavi understood.

Yang Huan is allowing Raiola to dominate the market.

However, this is also a great opportunity for him to flatter Yang Huan. As long as this matter is done well, why would he be afraid of not having opportunities for cooperation in the future?

As soon as he realized this, Pini Zahavi immediately made a promise.
