Chapter 310 The Super Rich's Bet
Wembley Stadium.
Qi Sheng brought Jin Ying, along with the club's operations director Garlick and sports director Edu, to watch the FA Cup final.
In the best VIP box.
I had a great chat with Abramovich, the Russian oligarch who also loves football.
Abramovich was quite curious about Qi Sheng, the Premier League player who suddenly appeared, and looked up some information about him.
If he hadn’t checked, Abu would have been shocked by Qi Sheng’s huge wealth.
Misia, one of the three giants in the entire European luxury circle, is a company under Qi Sheng's name.
This company alone is enough to make Abramovich take it seriously.
"Qi, who do you think will win the final victory between our two teams?"
Abu was in a pretty good mood.
Although his Chelsea did not perform well in the Champions League and the league.
Fortunately, they made it to the FA Cup final, which allowed him to take some time off to watch the game.
"Arsenal, of course."
Qi Sheng supported his team without hesitation.
"Haha, Arsenal is invincible~"
Abu couldn't help but laugh and sing along, obviously he knew the joke.
"Roman, there is a saying in my hometown that you should never hit someone in the face. What Arsenal's previous performance was has nothing to do with me."
"But we have secured the Premier League title next season!"
Qi Sheng's domineering aura made Garrick and Edu break out in cold sweats.
It’s not easy to win the Premier League championship.
What's more, Arteta is still a rookie coach.
Letting a rookie coach win the Premier League title in his first full season, what kind of international joke is this? "Oh?"
Abu became interested and asked, "How much do you plan to invest?"
"£200 million, and that's net transfer investment!"
Qi Sheng raised two fingers of his right hand.
“This is not a small amount.”
Abramovich was a little surprised. He invested very little in Chelsea last season and was not as crazy as at the beginning.
To put it bluntly, Abu has had enough of playing.
We have won all the league and Champions League titles, as well as the domestic cup titles we deserve.
"How about we make a bet to see who will win the Premier League title next season?"
"If my team gets it, you will resell the Solaris (which translates to flying into space) to me."
Although Qi Sheng already has a super yacht, who would think having too many things is too much?
Just like Abramovich, he has 7 yachts under his name and he is still buying more.
Only the super rich can afford such a big toy.
Ordinary wealthy people don’t even have the qualifications to buy it.
"Solaris?"
A trace of reluctance flashed across Abu's face.
He placed this order several years in advance.
It will also cost 500 million US dollars and will be officially launched and delivered next year.
"What if you lose?"
What Abramovich is reluctant to part with is the time it takes to get the yacht delivered again, not the price of the yacht.
"My ship Nord is worth $500 million. If Chelsea wins the championship, it will be yours."
"But let's play it bigger. Whoever loses will just sell the team and withdraw from the Premier League!"
Qi Sheng added fuel to the fire with a smile, not wanting to see Abu's tragic end.
"Playing so big?"
Abu was shocked.
But he was indeed very envious of the Nord, but he did not expect that it would be bought by Qi Sheng.
With Chelsea's current lineup, it will be very difficult to win the league championship.
Abu was also inspired by Qi Sheng's bet.
The Premier League has been so boring in the past two years, only Manchester City is somewhat interesting.
"Qi, can the conditions for withdrawing from the Premier League be cancelled?"
Abramovich hesitated again and again, but was still reluctant to give up Chelsea easily.
"Can."
Qi Sheng thought about it and decided not to make things difficult for Abu.
Anyone who has invested in it for nearly 20 years would find it hard to let go of the feelings.
To some extent, Abramovich's lonely departure is the best ending to his story with Chelsea.
As for whether he will be targeted? Just kidding, with the system as a protective umbrella, he is the only one who can cheat others.
"Then it is happily decided. If Chelsea wins the championship, I will pay 500 million US dollars to buy the Nord from you."
Abu immediately smiled and stretched out his hand to Qi Sheng.
"If Arsenal wins the championship, I will also buy your Solaris for $500 million."
Qi Sheng smiled and high-fived Abu as an oath.
Next season's Premier League will definitely be very interesting.
Not only these two companies, the oil tycoons in Manchester City will also invest a lot.
What's the point of winning the Premier League title if there is no suspense.
What Qi Sheng wants is to defeat Abramovich and others fairly and bring a precious Premier League championship to Arsenal fans!
Not to mention Garlick and Edu, even Jin Ying was dumbfounded.
The bets between the super-rich are often worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Including the investment in transfers, it’s almost 1 billion US dollars.
"Qi, I will also prepare a net transfer budget of 200 million pounds for Chelsea."
"As someone who has been through this, I can pass on some of my experience to you."
"Don't be stingy when buying players. If the coach's performance is not good, just fire him."
Abu is indeed kind-hearted. It is rare for him to meet an opponent who can inspire him to fight.
He didn't want to win this game too easily.
"Don't worry, Arsenal will definitely be the Premier League champion next season!"
Qi Sheng is full of confidence, because he can cheat.
Even though Arteta is still a rookie, the system will take action.
Arteta has changed a lot in this game.
Not only has his on-the-spot commanding skills improved greatly.
The tactical arrangements before the game also surprised the players and coaching staff who were familiar with him.
Originally, Arteta's coaching style was modeled after Manchester City's Guardiola.
But before the final started, I felt like I had been enlightened and made great progress in all aspects.
Even when competing with top coaches like Guardiola, Arteta will not be at a disadvantage.
A master-level talent recruitment card allowed Arteta to instantly grow from a rookie to a top coach.
As the owner of Chelsea, Abramovich has watched football for many years.
Naturally, you can judge the level of a coach from the details.
This Arsenal lineup is still behind Chelsea.
But Arteta's tactical arrangement narrowed the gap between the two teams.
The balance of victory began to tilt towards Arsenal.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Even though Chelsea scored first, Arteta did not panic at all.
Instead, he kept commanding the players and resolutely implemented his own tactical arrangements.
"Qi, Arteta is really good!"
Abu had a smile on his face and praised in a relaxed tone.
Whoever lets Chelsea score the first goal, victory is in sight.
"Well, Mikel is really good."
Qi Sheng couldn't help laughing as he watched Aubameyang suddenly dribble into the penalty area and was knocked to the ground by Azpilicueta on the left.
The referee on duty decisively awarded a penalty kick and upheld the original decision after being prompted by VAR.
And showed a yellow card to warn Azpilicueta.
Aubameyang scored the goal himself and Arsenal equalized the score.
1-1.
"What a kick!"
Abu's face suddenly turned dark and he couldn't help but curse.
After a short break at halftime, Arsenal were more aggressive in the second half.
Chelsea, on the other hand, seemed particularly uncomfortable.
Abu, who had been able to remain calm, suddenly stood up impatiently.
Arsenal's right-back Bellerin was seen on the right side of the center circle, launching an attack.
Lacazette received the ball on the right and made a diagonal pass, and Aubameyang dribbled into the left side of the penalty area.
He dribbled past Chelsea defender Zouma and scored with a powerful left-foot shot.
Arsenal reversed the score to 2-1.
“Fuck!”
Abu was completely defeated and couldn't help but swear a few times.
How could he save face in front of his new friends after being beaten like this by an eighth-ranked team in the Premier League?
"Marina, when the game is over, get Frank out of here immediately!"
Like a tyrant, Abramovich fired Chelsea legend Lampard without hesitation.
Who made the opponent lose to Arsenal, a team whose performance was far inferior to theirs.
Marina Granovskaia, the woman Abramovich trusted most, nodded silently.
No matter whether Abu is angry or rational.
Marina would always execute any decision he made without hesitation.
Originally, Abramovich still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Lampard could prove himself.
In the 72nd minute, Kovacic tripped Xhaka and received another yellow card.
Two yellow cards turned into a red card and he was sent off, leaving Chelsea with only 10 players to play.
Abu could no longer maintain his last bit of composure and hurried away.
"See you next season, and remember to get my Nord ready."
"You too, get my Solaris ready."
Qi Sheng smiled and opened a bottle of champagne, which made Abu's face even darker.
To be honest, there are not many opportunities to make Abu lose face.
As the game got closer and closer to the end, Arsenal kept the score until the end.
They reversed Chelsea with a score of 2-1 and won the 14th FA Cup trophy in team history!
"Cheers!"
The sound of champagne glasses clinking echoed throughout the VIP box.
Qi Sheng felt even happier when he thought about the yacht that Abu had worked so hard to customize, which would be delivered to him next year.
"Thank you for the gift, Abu!"
Qi Sheng raised his glass, his smile somewhat provocative.
…
After the game, almost as soon as Lampard arrived at the press conference, he saw Marina waiting for him.
"Marina?"
Lampard had a bad feeling, and it turned out to be true.
"Frank, you are fired. The liquidated damages will be deposited into your bank account. Thank you for your contribution to Chelsea."
Marina announced Lampard's dismissal in a straightforward manner, and then went to contact other alternative head coaches.
"I…"
Lampard couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew without thinking that it was Abramovich's decision.
When I arrived at the press conference, I saw Arteta smiling and accepting interviews from reporters.
But he could only be kicked out in disgrace.
The huge gap made it increasingly difficult for him to calm down.
"Arsenal was able to win this hard-earned FA Cup title thanks to the support of every fan, player and coaching staff, club staff, management and most importantly, owner Ms. Jin Ying."
"I believe Arsenal will be more competitive next season. Regarding transfers, I have no comment for the time being."
Arteta has just won an FA Cup championship, which has given him a basis for gaining the fans' trust.
As for transfers, Arteta will not interfere.
Qi Sheng has already handed the list of players to Jin Ying, and he just needs to choose the right one.
A truly top coach must have this ability.
And now, he has such ability.
Thinking of those hot stars, they will appear on the club's roster next season.
The corners of Arteta's mouth are indeed harder to suppress than AK's.
Excluding income from player transfers, the net investment is as high as 200 million pounds.
