Chapter 308 Sensible Gray

By early May, funds in overseas corporate accounts had reached 23 billion.

Qi Sheng stood on the third-floor terrace of Fort Saint-Louis and couldn't help but say: "Earning 10 billion a month is still not enough to spend!"

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he took too big steps.

It acquired Richemont and Four Seasons Hotels.

If it weren't for the system's continuous blood transfusion, Qi Sheng would not dare to perform such extreme operations.

Jin Ying had made great contributions before, so he was sent to the UK to inspect a football club.

But considering Qi Sheng's tight financial situation, Jin Ying focused on some small and medium-sized clubs and kept the acquisition amount within 300 million US dollars.

Qi Sheng didn't want to be stingy when buying a team. He couldn't buy a worse team than the Inter Milan that Zhang Kangyang bought, right? If he wanted to play, he had to buy a famous team.

Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal have become Qi Sheng's main acquisition targets.

However, the market value of the top three teams is a bit high.

The cheapest Chelsea has a market value of over 3 billion US dollars.

Not to mention Manchester United and Liverpool, whose market value is over 3.5 billion US dollars.

On the contrary, Arsenal can be considered to be quite cost-effective, with a market value of only 2 billion US dollars.

London, where Arsenal is located, is also the largest city in the UK.

Qi Sheng no longer hesitated and directly used the funds from the newly established Comet Sports account.

Complete the full acquisition of Arsenal through the system's compulsory acquisition authority.

As long as the funds are in place, the system will take care of the rest.

Without any surprise, Arsenal's former boss Kroenke signed the contract readily.

All shares of Arsenal were sold to Comet Sports.

As the Premier League officially announced the deal, the entire British football world and even the European football world was shocked.

Arsenal fans, in particular, were eager to sing praises for the deal.

The damn miserly American finally left. The new boss should be generous, right? ...

Amid the anticipation of countless Arsenal fans, Qi Sheng's private jet arrived at London Heathrow Airport.

Jin Ying brought a group of Arsenal executives to the airport to welcome the new boss.

"BOSS."

Seeing Jin Ying holding the boss' arm intimately, several Arsenal executives couldn't help but look at each other and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and greet her.

"This is our director of football operations Richard Garlick, this is our sporting director Edu Gaspar and lastly, this is our head coach Mikel Arteta."

Jin Ying focused on introducing three relatively important executives, and Qi Sheng smiled and shook hands with each of them to show his friendliness.

After a brief greeting, Qi Sheng took a Rolls-Royce Phantom to the Kearney training base.

Jin Ying arrived in London ahead of time. In addition to taking over as the club's CEO and clearing out the remnants of former boss Kroenke's influence, he also purchased some fixed assets for Qi Sheng.

The Phantom they were riding in was one of Qi Sheng’s fixed assets in the UK.

As the birthplace of Rolls-Royce, the price in the UK is much cheaper than in China.

The news that Arsenal's new owner had arrived in London was already known to British journalists through various means.

At the entrance of the Kearney training base, reporters armed with cameras gathered.

Watching the convoy approaching from a distance, I kept taking first-hand shots.

Even quite a few Arsenal fans came to join in the fun.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom, escorted by more than a dozen Land Rover Range Rovers, is as shocking as a presidential tour.

Hundreds of staff members of the club were neatly lined up in front of the office building, ready to welcome the guests.

As the convoy came to a stop, the bodyguards who had gotten off the vehicles earlier carried out security work in an orderly manner.

Qi Sheng and Jin Ying got out of the car, their identities were self-evident.

"Hello, boss."

This group of employees greeted each other in unison in unfamiliar Chinese.

Although it sounds a bit awkward, it is indeed a thoughtful effort.

"Hello."

Qi Sheng smiled and nodded, then walked straight into the historic club office building.

In fact, he was half an Arsenal fan in his previous life.

I feel really bad for the unprofessional shooter.

But unlike ordinary fans, they can only make a few complaints online at most.

With the money he has, he can buy Arsenal directly and buy players according to his preferences.

Having money is so joyful! …

Accompanied by Jin Ying, Qi Sheng toured Arsenal's Hall of Fame.

Unlike its city rivals Tottenham, Arsenal's Hall of Fame is quite packed.

Especially the FA Cup championship, Arsenal has won 13 titles.

I have to say, the professor is really strong.

More than half of these championships were won by Wenger for Arsenal.

Even the current stadium is the result of Wenger's accumulation of assets bit by bit.

But the legend's ending was very bleak.

Being kicked out by the fans is a pity.

The FA Cup championship is worthless, so Qi Sheng didn’t pay much attention to it.

As for the Premier League titles, there are 3, which are also honors won by Wenger leading the team.

After visiting the Hall of Honor, Qi Sheng followed Jin Ying to the conference room.

Those who can attend this meeting are all middle-level and above employees of the club.

Arteta, in particular, is the most nervous about this.

He had just taken office and was somewhat worried that the new boss would fire him.

Although he led Arsenal to the FA Cup final.

But the final has not yet ended and his honor column is still blank.

If he won the FA Cup, he would dare to negotiate terms with the new boss.

But now, we can only leave it to fate.

"I am very dissatisfied with the team's current performance. Eighth place in the league should be Arsenal's worst result in history, right?"

After Qi Sheng finished his first sentence, everyone except Jin Ying lowered their heads in shame.

"However, I am very patient and I believe that Arsenal will not stay at this level forever."

Qi Sheng just gave him a blow, so of course he has to give him a sweet reward now.

"After I took over, the club's debts have been completely resolved and I will invest an additional £200 million to recruit players this summer."

"Two hundred million pounds?"

Hearing this number, Arteta and others were shocked.

In the entire Premier League, only Chelsea and Manchester City have this strength.

At the beginning of this season, Arsenal was unusually generous.

Spent 130 million pounds and bought several new players.

But it is still far from the transfer investment of 200 million pounds.

"The £200 million is net transfer investment, and income from player sales is not included."

Before they could digest the news, Qi Sheng dropped another bombshell.

"Gudong."

The sound of swallowing saliva echoed throughout the conference room.

Arteta and others finally realized what it means to be wealthy and powerful.

No wonder Guardiola is reluctant to leave Manchester City. Only those oil tycoons have the financial resources to spend so much.

Today, their new boss is equally surprisingly generous.

"The next summer recruitment will mainly focus on young players, and we will try to clear out all the players over 30 years old in the team."

Qi Sheng determined the tone of the transfer, and Jin Ying would help supervise the rest.

Qi Sheng could turn a blind eye to such minor operations.

But if anyone is too greedy, he doesn't mind killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

"Let's adjourn the meeting."

The main purpose of Qi Sheng's meeting with this group of executives this time was to show his face and demonstrate his financial strength.

At the moment, Arteta does not have the right to recruit players.

After all, Qi Sheng has activated the rebirth cheat, so he is definitely more reliable than this group of people.

But the current focus is still the FA Cup final.

Arsenal hasn't won a championship for several years, not to mention that it is the most important game after the team changed ownership.

Neither the fans nor the management want to miss this championship.

The most important thing is that only by winning the FA Cup can we play in European competitions.

…

Bridge, located in a prime location in central London.

Many wealthy foreign people buy villas here.

After Qi Sheng left the Kearney training base, he led the team to this super luxury house that he had just bought.

The total price was 210 million pounds, and the previous owner was Mr. Xu from Evergrande.

The villa has seven floors and 45 bedrooms.

The living area is slightly larger than an American football field and overlooks Hyde Park.

Originally, the mansion was four family homes.

It was not until 1980 that it was transformed into a private palace building.

The renovation budget at the time was as high as 50 million pounds, equivalent to 100 million pounds today.

The gorgeous crystal chandeliers, jewel-encrusted bathtubs and dressing tables are the utmost in luxury.

A palace-like mansion like this naturally requires a housekeeper and a nanny.

There are 20 nannies alone.

Butler John Gray is a typical British butler.

The employers he previously served were all worth more than 5 billion pounds.

To adapt to the local customs, Qi Sheng also specially recruited a British butler to manage the entire service team for him.

Gray, wearing a black tuxedo, silver vest and silver tie, is as professional as Tang De, who works for their family in the country.

"Sir, several wealthy people nearby have sent you dinner invitations. If you are interested in attending, I will help you notify them."

Gray handed over several invitation letters, and while Qi Sheng was flipping through them, he carefully introduced the other party's identity and wealth.

"Leave it there for now."

Qi Sheng had no interest in dealing with these local wealthy people. It was nothing more than clichéd business socializing.

With his current wealth, there is really no need for him to attend such a low-threshold cocktail party.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Okay, there is warm water in your room. We have prepared English and Chinese breakfast for you. Do you need anything else?"

Gray was not at all surprised by Qi Sheng's attitude.

My employer bought a luxury mansion worth 200 million pounds.

The social circle must consist of at least super-rich people with a net worth of more than 10 billion pounds.

This group of small wealthy people whose net worth is just about to reach 1 billion pounds is still a bit low-class.

“Not yet.”

Qi Sheng was very satisfied with Gray's arrangement and took Jin Ying upstairs.

"Are you used to it in London?"

In the master bedroom which covers an area of ​​over a hundred square meters, Qi Sheng and Jin Ying soaked in the huge round jacuzzi, their skin in close contact.

"Not bad, just a little boring and lonely."

Jin Ying said worriedly, "Honey, what if we buy Arsenal and lose money?"

According to her original plan, she just wanted to acquire a small club.

Even if I make a loss, I won’t feel bad.

But Qi Sheng directly spent 2 billion US dollars to buy Arsenal, completely disrupting all her previous plans.

If Arsenal's market value plummeted under her leadership, she would not be able to face returning to China to see Qi Sheng.

"You can't lose money. I'll help you with your plans. You can only make money."

"When you've had enough fun here, I'll arrange for someone to replace you."

Qi Sheng was playing with the two balls in front of Jin Ying, his tone very casual.

Arsenal, worth 2 billion US dollars, is just a toy that he likes to play with.

"But I said before that I would help you make money. It would be too embarrassing if you lost money."

Jin Ying snorted with a rosy face. She was already accustomed to Qi Sheng's dishonesty.

"It's easy to make money. Just buy young players, train them, and then sell them when they become talented."

Qi Sheng is a veteran FIFA player after all, and he has quite a bit of experience in buying and selling football players.

To put it simply, it means buying little monsters to level up.

Wait until the little demon grows up, and then find a way to sell it.

"It's not that easy. Unless you have a keen eye, it's easy to lose money on signings."

Jin Ying couldn't stand Qi Sheng's teasing. "Stop kissing me. It's so uncomfortable."

“Crash.”

Qi Sheng stood up from the bathtub holding Jin Ying, grabbed the towel beside him to dry their bodies, and walked towards the big bed.

"Hubby, love me~"

Jin Ying stretched out her little hand with a seductive look.

In London, she didn't have to share with her other sisters.

"Yes, sir!"

Qi Sheng was not in the mood to talk about business.

The golden flowers in front of me are like tempting peaches, plump and juicy.

Two hours later, Jin Ying became completely obedient.

"Hubby, I was wrong."

Who made Qi Sheng's physical strength so abnormal?

It hasn't been long since he started to behave dishonestly again.

"Go to sleep."

Qi Sheng smiled and hugged Jin Ying, and didn't bother her anymore.

"Then you are not allowed to cheat."

Before going to bed, Jin Ying did not forget to make three rules with Qi Sheng.

"How about sleeping in separate rooms?"

Qi Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Is his credibility that low?

"Mua, I believe you can control yourself."

Jin Ying put Qi Sheng's hand on her chest and lay sideways in Qi Sheng's arms.

As for the dishonest parts, she clamped them between her legs.

However, this makes it even more exciting.

Only when Jin Ying's breathing became even did Qi Sheng gently pull out the arm that she was resting on.

Change into pajamas and leave the room.

Gray hadn't rested yet, and when he heard the noise he rushed over.

"How can I help you, sir?"

"Get me a bottle of whiskey and some ice."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Qi Sheng walked to the study on this floor, intending to find some books to read.

"gentlemen."

Not long after, a blonde nanny with good looks and figure knocked on the study door.

“Just put it on the table.”

Qi Sheng glanced at the other person and didn't care much.

"Sir, do you need my help?"

The blonde nanny asked quietly.

"Um."

Qi Sheng nodded lightly and did not look at the nanny.

"Um?"

Qi Sheng, who was reading a book, saw the blonde nanny suddenly kneeling under the desk with ice cubes and wine in her mouth, patiently helping him to clear his mind.

"good."

Qi Sheng poured himself a glass of wine, looked at the diligent and busy blonde nanny, and threw the book in his hand away.

In this situation, what's the point of reading a shit book?

Even after the ice melted, the blonde nanny was unable to disarm Qi Sheng.

"Sir, do you need me to help you solve it in another way?"

The blonde nanny was also a little shocked. She had never met a man as strong as Qi Sheng.

For half an hour, there was no sign of weakness or impulse.

Even if the man in front of her was not her employer, she would be happy to have something happen between them.

"Starting tomorrow, you will be responsible for managing the other nannies."

After Qi Sheng said this, the blonde nanny immediately came out from under the table and straddled his legs.

This kind of service of meeting the physiological needs of employers is naturally within the scope of their work.

In fact, many nannies are eager to serve this group of super-rich people.

But unfortunately, most wealthy people have almost lost this ability.

It is a blessing for them to be able to serve a young, strong and wealthy man like Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng only dared to let the blonde nanny continue serving him after he saw that she was in normal condition.

As for special...what's there to worry about.

Hearing the sound from the study, Gray, who was standing outside the door, smiled with satisfaction.

Only when his employer's needs are met can he keep his position as steward.

"You will take over from Alia in half an hour."

Gray spoke calmly to the nanny who was very pretty and had a good figure.

These female nannies were all good candidates carefully selected by him.

Not only is she good at doing housework, but her appearance and figure are also very iconic.

The average age is less than 25 years old, and there is definitely no fat body like that of white aunties.

Although their annual salary is higher than that of other nannies.

But to Qi Sheng, it is totally not worth mentioning.

"Um?"

Qi Sheng heard someone knock on the door and a petite blonde nanny walked in.

After helping Alia leave, he continued the unfinished work of the other party.

"Gray's contract can be renewed."

Qi Sheng silently made a decision that such a sensible talent must be retained.
