"I understand, sir!"
Ferguson felt a little aggrieved, and that was the reason.
But saying it so directly, with such a condescending attitude, made him extremely aggrieved.
But this is class, and the person in front of him is qualified to say this about him.
…
Alan curled the corner of his mouth and found it very interesting to look at Ferguson who looked unconvinced but endured it.
Outsiders cannot appreciate the relationship between the Scots and the English.
Everyone seems to be British when they tell others that they are British.
But in fact, the sense of alienation is very strong.
…
The Scots claim to be "loyal to Britain", but they demand independence every year.
If they don't make trouble for a year, even some people in England will think that something is wrong this year?
This behavior is almost becoming a tradition.
As one of the four member states, Scotland ranks among the top three in terms of loyalty to the United Kingdom!
Second only to Wales and higher than Northern Ireland.
At this time of year in previous years, there would be chaos, but this year the economic situation is not good.
The Scots are not stupid. What if there is trouble this year and the English become ruthless and really don't care about them?
So this year is particularly peaceful and quiet.
But this overall calm does not in the least affect the mutual contempt between the Scots and the English.
Even though Ferguson is working in England now, he looks down on the English people a bit, but this does not affect his work.
…
"Ferguson...Have you ever thought that if you perform well one day, I can give you a title, such as Sir Ferguson?"
"???"
Ferguson's eyes widened instantly. He looked down on the English, but he respected the English title!
I didn't expect that this gentleman in front of me would play such a big game and actually offer the title as a reward?
but……
Is this something that a count can give just by saying so?
Ferguson, who didn't know much about this, was a little suspicious.
…
"hehe……"
Looking at Ferguson's expression, Allen looked at the court and said calmly: "I have granted titles to both of our family's butlers. As long as they work hard and are loyal to the Hill family, they will get the rewards they deserve. Money, things, titles, all these things are fine!"
“…”
Although he didn't know how this gentleman got the title, but to be honest, Ferguson was moved by this **!
A scene suddenly appeared in his mind. He was standing on the side of the court directing the game. In the past, when the referees saw him, they would at most nod and say hello to him. The more arrogant ones might not even look at him.
But what if you have a title?
As long as he stands on the sidelines, the referee passing by has to greet him respectfully when he sees him!
Whether they like it or not, they have to say "Hello, Sir Alex Ferguson!"
Tsk tsk tsk…
If you meet the head coach of a rival club team, you have to follow this process even if the other team dislikes you.
Come to think of it, this title is pretty cool!
What man wouldn't want something like this?
And now this title has been thrown out by the gentleman in front of him, and Ferguson can get it easily!
etc……
Ferguson was immersed in beautiful visions when he was suddenly stunned.
The gentleman just mentioned his housekeeper. What did he say next?
Work hard and be loyal to the Hill family?
this……
Is this to make Ferguson loyal?
Before Ferguson could hesitate, Allen's voice came again.
…
"Don't hesitate. I will only grant you this if you perform well. But you are not qualified yet. Think about the team first."
“…”
There's that damn condescending tone again.
But this time, Ferguson found that he was not particularly averse to this tone.
It seems like there is a little more awe and - yearning?!
"Sir... there's still plenty of time! I will prove my abilities to you!"
Ferguson's expression tightened and turned serious. He looked Alan in the eyes and spoke seriously.
"Oh... let's do it first. I like people who do practical things. There are too many people who can speak empty words and beautiful words better than you!"
Allen looked at Ferguson and said, "How can I not defeat you, little bastard?"
He directly used his status to pressure Ferguson, who now seemed half convinced, but not completely convinced.
To borrow Ferguson's words, there is still a lot of time, so take your time.
Once he knew the benefits of being a noble, he realized that this kind of temptation was not something that ordinary people could resist.
Thinking of this, Allen looked at Ferguson with deliberate contempt, then turned and walked back.
“…”
Ferguson was almost broken by Allen's look!
As a football coach, the most basic quality is to have a big heart that can withstand strong pressure.
But no matter how big a heart is, it can only withstand pressure; it cannot withstand such contempt!
…
"Haha, how was it? Are you disappointed?"
When Angus saw Allen in the box, he walked up to him, put his arm around Allen's shoulders, and pointed to the court at his feet.
"It's OK. Have you seen the report? How much is it?"
…
To be honest, the current Manchester United does not seem to be associated with any wealthy clubs. At most, it can be regarded as a veteran strong team.
Besides, it's English Football League One now, not the Premier League yet, and there aren't many stars in the team.
Allen estimates that the entire Manchester United is worth at most a few million pounds, and that includes the price of the stadium.
Ferguson only joined Manchester United at the end of last year. How much "transfer fee" did Edwards Jr. spend to dig him out?
Only 60,000 pounds!
A head coach who later became so famous, the transfer fee was only 60,000 pounds!
Now those players only earn 10,000 or 20,000 pounds a year, which is already considered high-income!
…
"Uh... it's a bit beyond my expectations."
Angus was a little embarrassed to speak.
"How much is it?"
Alan frowned. How much higher could it get?
Manchester United is currently in a slump and its performance is not good. What is so valuable about it?
When is this decades later?
…
"Uh... they still have a debt of more than 2.7 million pounds. As for the club, uh... 5 million pounds. It adds up to almost 8 million pounds."
"Hiss... so many!"
That's eight million pounds!
It's just a League One team, and a League One team that is in a slump.
Although Diana just took out some old clothes and old jewelry and sold them for millions of pounds a few days ago, Allen can't compare to her at all.
He currently has less than 20 million pounds in available cash. If he uses this money to buy the current Manchester United, how can he carry out his plan to buy at a bargain price in the United States in a few months?
…
Eh...that's not right.
Alan suddenly found himself getting a little too obsessed.
When buying the club, he didn't say that the money would be paid in one lump sum. So after he takes over Manchester United, won't all the money be his?
Can he pay in installments?
Moreover, Allen suddenly thought of several other shareholders. Just now, when Edwards Jr. talked about those shareholders who did not show up, his tone seemed not very good.
By starting with these people, we can further lower the price and save costs.
Alan is not particularly familiar with the right path, but when it comes to the crooked path, he knows it all!
…
"Okay... I'm going to go back now. Let's just leave it at that. You've worked really hard today, Angus!"
"No, no, who are we talking to?"
Angus grabbed Allen's shoulder and shook it again, then said, "Hey... No, don't leave so quickly. I have already booked the place. You are in my territory, so I have to entertain you, right?"
The fat boy pointed eastward, and Angus whispered in Alan's ear, "The blonde girl who escaped from the Slavic side, are you interested? I have arranged four for you! Is that good enough?!"
"???"
Allen opened his eyes slightly, looked at Angus speechlessly and said, "Angus, can't you be more sophisticated? Show your duke's airs and try something more sophisticated!"
He is a duke, even though he is down and out, but he is doing this. He ran away from there. Not to mention it is shameful, safety is also a problem!
What if it's the Natasha type?
Alan is quite cautious about his life. Although he feels that he is not worthy of special treatment, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
If you want to have fun, play with pretty or famous ones, and have fun openly. Don't be like Angus, who acts like a fucking pimp, so shameful!
…
"Let's go, let's go. You can play my share for me."
"Hey! Hey!"
Angus reluctantly took a few steps to catch up with Alan. Seeing that he looked serious and didn't seem to be trying to shirk his responsibility, he didn't know what to say.
He also wants to play like Allen, but he has no capital. People who don't know much might think he is very high-end when they hear that he is a duke, and it's okay for him to get away with it temporarily.
But once you come into contact with it, it will be exposed sooner or later.
Have you ever seen a duke without dozens of servants following him?
Angus is like this, he doesn't even have a decent, respectable manor.
…
"Alan, I'll take you back!"
"Forget about it. Just stay and have a rest. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly if you help me!"
Alan stopped and looked around. The bodyguards were standing outside the box on guard. Several servants noticed Alan's gaze and quickly lowered their heads and walked outside, leaving space for Alan to talk in private.
"Angus! You are an old friend of my father. I helped you out of friendship. Now you have helped me too. We are even now, but..."
Allen extended his right index finger, tapped Angus' chest fiercely in front of his surprised gaze and said, "Be more restrained in the future. Your family may have fallen, but it is not gone! You are still here! I will help you again this time. Can you let me trust you?"
…
"ah?"
The topic suddenly changed from discussing blonde girls to this one. Angus, who was usually very optimistic, was rarely silenced by what Alan said.
It's not that he doesn't want to cheer up, but he can't. He loses money in business, he loses money in stock trading, other nobles don't accept him, and he has no capital left, so he can only muddle through.
…
Looking at Angus who had been silent and seemed to be autistic, Allen reached out and poked him and said, "Times have changed. Since you can't fit into that circle, why do you have to fit in? Didn't you also think about developing abroad? Going to the United States was not wrong, but do you know where you went wrong?"
"Wrong... what's wrong?"
Angus looked at Allen, who was thirty years younger than him, with a complicated look. Aren't all the people in the Hill family reckless?
Why does this generation seem different from his father?
…
"You are wrong because you haven't changed your mindset! You are wrong because you don't have the strength. It doesn't mean that the domestic aristocratic circles won't accept you. The top foreign circles will accept you. When you are not strong enough, you should not look forward, you should look down! Look at those who are not as good as you!"
"If you don't have the ability, you won't be able to get along well anywhere! Unless you pull away from the hierarchy and mix with people who are lower than you! Do you understand?"
…
Angus nodded mechanically, and suddenly seemed to realize that something was wrong.
Fatty tilted his head to the left, stared at Alan and said slowly: "After all this talk, you want me to follow you?!"
Allen grinned and nodded, "Yes! You finally figured it out. Putting aside other things, just tell me, with our identities, a duke and an earl, if we don't stay in the country but go to the colonies, will there be any advantages and will it be useful?!"
…
Angus, this guy, seems to be poor, but he just wants to go to a good place and get into the top circle. However, his status and ability do not match, so others look down on him, do not play with him, and even cheat him.
But Alan thinks this old guy is sometimes a talent!
At least he is a duke, and this identity is very useful!
In some cases, the status of a duke is more useful than that of an earl!
Moreover, this guy has rich investment experience. Although he has lost money all the time, change your thinking. If Angus is very optimistic about a project, does it mean that the project will definitely lose money?
From this perspective, in some cases, the Duke of Angus can serve as Allen's little radar, and Allen can give up on the projects he is optimistic about without a second thought!
On the contrary, theoretically, he can learn about the projects that he is not optimistic about.
Moreover, all the land of his family business has been sold. With his talent, it is impossible for him to restore the former power of the Duke of Manchester in this lifetime!
What does this mean?
This means he is easy to control and Allen can suppress him.
Wouldn't it be perfect for a duke like this, who is experienced and easy to control, to be a tool?
This is exactly the old talent that Alan has always longed for!
Even if all other conditions are ignored, having a duke as a follower sounds pretty awesome, doesn't it? !
…
"Hey? Don't tell me, now that you've mentioned it, I've got some new ideas. Is that how you did your Gambia project?"
The Duke of Angus sniffed. He never cared about his face, but he had fallen into a misconception in his thinking and went in the wrong direction. Now that Alan said this, he felt that this was not a bad idea.
Allen is Kano's son, and Kano is his old brother. Being with Allen, he is his elder, and there is nothing shameful about it. It will also highlight his loyalty and righteousness.
Moreover, Angus discovered that Alan was a man with a lot of ideas but he kept quiet. Although his projects were not high-end, he did not easily attract too much attention from the outside world. He made money quietly and was very low-key, which was completely opposite to his extremely high-profile development path.
"Okay! Then...nephew Alan, is there anything I can help you with?"
Angus looked at Alan kindly and patted his shoulder gently.
"???"
Alan listened to Angus's words and looked the fat duke up and down again.
Ten fucking minutes ago, you were calling me Brother Alan, how come you’re nephew now?
…
