Chapter 145 Two for One

"Master Huan!"

As soon as Cash Harris approached, he immediately smiled and greeted Yang Huan first, followed by Mayor Carol Connie and Terry Matthews. The two of them also accepted this order and were quite enthusiastic towards Cash Harris.

This is a well-known investment expert in the City of London.

"This is the famous football agent Pini Zahavi." Cash Harris introduced the person next to him.

Pini Zahavi?

Abramovich's top horse!

It is said that this person was behind the acquisition of Chelsea by Abramovich.

Cash Harris was also involved in that acquisition deal, but unlike Cash Harris who was only responsible for acquisition investment, Pini Zahavi was a typical human trafficker, and he was responsible for many of Chelsea's subsequent transfers and signings.

This is a bit like the relationship between Yang Huan and Raiola.

However, after the Portuguese Mourinho came to Chelsea to coach, Pini Zahavi fell out of favor for a while. It was not until Mourinho left that the Israeli super agent regained Abramovich's favor.

What does Abramovich have his top horses for?

Yang Huan had some doubts in his heart, but he still extended his hand politely, "Hello, Mr. Zahavi!"

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan!" Although Pini Zahavi has a close relationship with Abramovich, he does not dare to be careless with Yang Huan.

Everyone knows that Raiola is a well-deserved super figure in the agent circle. After completing the transfer of Ibramovic, his commission exceeded tens of millions, which almost made history. Even Mendes could not catch up.

And the one who made Raiola successful is Yang Huan in front of him.

No one knows how much money Yang Huan has, but everyone knows how generous he is.

The commission for a transfer is over 10 million, and the prize money for a game is over 10 million. Just for these two reasons, Yang Huan is the super-rich man that all football agents in the world are eager to get close to and depend on.

"It's really nice to meet you, Mr. Yang Huan." Pini Zahavi smiled with his conspicuous big mouth.

"I have been paying attention to the news media reports before. They all said that Mr. Yang Huan was very young. But today, when I met him in person, I found that he was even younger and more promising than what he showed on TV news. It made me doubt whether I am old enough to retire early."

Yang Huan also laughed, "Mr. Zahavi is a pillar of the agent circle today. If you retire, I don't know how many super transfers will be ruined every year. That will also be a loss to the football world."

Even now, when people come to flatter him, he still does it without getting red in the face or out of breath.

Pini Zahavi was very pleased and laughed, "I just run errands for everyone. As long as everyone is happy, I am happy too."

After he finished speaking, he paused and changed the subject, "But it's a pity. Everyone says Southampton is the new upstart in English football today, and Mr. Yang Huan is the leader among all football investors, but I have never had the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Yang Huan. It's really a pity."

"There is a chance!" Yang Huan replied with a smile, "If Mr. Zahavi has any good players, he can definitely introduce them to us. As long as they are suitable for us, we are interested."

Upon hearing this, Pini Zahavi immediately laughed and clapped his hands. "What a coincidence! I just received reports and information about several young players with good qualifications from the company. If Southampton is interested, I will send them to you after the game."

Yang Huan would never believe that this was a coincidence.

But I can't help but admire that this Israeli man really knows how to do business.

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared, and Pini Zahavi must have been prepared.

I'm afraid the players he is going to recommend will not be too bad.

Because he wanted to use this business as a stepping stone to knock on Southampton's door.

From Yang Huan's point of view, there is no loss, because Southampton's transfers in the past relied more on Raiola, which could easily lead to the Italian dominating the market, which is not a good thing.

The situation would be better balanced if other agents, including Pini Zahavi, could be attracted to participate.

"Okay, let's talk about it after the game!"

Yang Huan's words made Pini Zahavi a little flattered.

Delivering player reports is an active door-to-door recommendation, but the success rate is too low.

But if I could eat and talk with Yang Huan face to face, the nature would be different, it would be like we were getting to know each other.

Everyone who does business knows that once you become familiar with your customers, business becomes much easier.

"Okay, I'll be waiting in the office after the game!"

Yang Huan smiled but said nothing.

After talking about the two people's private affairs, it's time to start talking about business.

"Master Huan."

After getting familiar with each other just now, Pini Zahavi even changed his name.

"I'll tell you something, don't blame me."

"Go ahead!" Yang Huan was mentally prepared. This guy was just running errands for Abramovich.

Seeing that Yang Huan looked normal, Pini Zahavi felt a little more confident. "I came here this time because I wanted to get to know you, and I also wanted to run errands for you and bring you a message."

"What?" Yang Huan still didn't change much.

"Roman... Mr. Abramovich, he heard that you, Master Huan, also like to bet on football, so he wanted to ask, are you interested in taking a gamble?" Pini Zahavi stared at Yang Huan as he spoke.

He was worried in his heart that this relationship, which he had worked so hard to establish, must not be severed.

Fortunately, Master Huan was not angry, but laughed happily instead.

"Bet? I'm most interested. How do I bet?"

They have come to your door, and if you don’t dare to fight back, it would be a huge disgrace.

No matter whether you win or lose, let’s just keep going.

"Mr Abramovich wants a player from Southampton."

"Who?" Yang Huan vaguely guessed something.

"Neymar!"

Yang Huan secretly exclaimed in his heart, as expected, this Abramovich is so possessive. He failed in his previous attempt to sign Neymar, but the Brazilian genius moved to Southampton. This was like a thorn in his heart.

Coupled with the humiliation he suffered today, he wanted to settle both accounts together.

"Master Huan, what do you think?" Pini Zahavi asked respectfully.

Yang Huan laughed, "I have already accepted the challenge, so I have no other intentions. Please continue."

Pini Zahavi was relieved.

"Mr. Abramovich meant to bet on this one game. Chelsea is a Premier League team after all, and a draw is a loss. If Chelsea wins, Mr. Abramovich hopes to bring in Neymar for £30 million."

Southampton originally paid 30 million euros to introduce Neymar, and now Chelsea is buying him for 30 million pounds. Southampton has made a profit, but considering Neymar's future prospects and his performance in the past season, it is a pity to sell him now.

"What about me?" Yang asked with a smile, "What will I gain if I win?"

"You can also pick any player in Chelsea and buy him at market price."

As soon as Pini Zahavi finished speaking, Yang Huan burst out laughing.

The Israelis looked at Yang laughing like this with a strange look on their faces. What was so funny?

"Go back and tell Abramovich that he treats his players as treasures, but in my eyes, Chelsea really doesn't have any players I like. There are only one and a half players who are good enough. But he wants to exchange Neymar for them? He is dreaming!"

Pini Zahavi smiled bitterly.

What are you talking about?

After all, Chelsea is a Premier League team, and a team with the strength to win the Premier League title. How come you don’t like them?

You have to know that you are a team in the English League One, which is two levels lower than the Premier League.

It’s true, Yang Huan is not exaggerating, but the truth.

Chelsea's current players are some old, some weak, and there are really few who Yang Huan can look up to.

"Master Huan, Mr. Abramovich's conditions include superstars of the level of Cech, Terry and Ashley Cole. Would you like to consider it?"

Yang Huan smiled and shook his head. "Don't think about it. Cech's level has declined drastically since he was injured. Besides, we have Neuer now, so we don't need Cech."

Although Neuer is not as famous as Cech for the time being, in the long run, Neuer is younger and stronger.

"As for central defenders, Terry is not bad, but he is not our type. His style doesn't suit us. Ashley Cole is attractive, but he is just so-so in appearance. We at Southampton like to bring in some handsome guys."

Pini Zahavi was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The most competitive candidate Ashley Cole was rejected just because he was not handsome enough?

"Pini, think about it, Neymar is so young, talented, and gifted. Do you think I am crazy to trade a talented player who is in his prime for a veteran who is already on the decline?"

After Yang Huan said this, Pini Zahavi also felt that it made sense.

Perhaps judging from the current market value, players like Terry, Cech, Ashley Cole and others are indeed more valuable, but the problem is that Neymar is also worth 30 million pounds, and there is no demand for him.

But looking at Chelsea's group of veterans, it is difficult to sell them.

"Go back and tell Abramovich that when Chelsea has a talent like Neymar, come back and make a bet with me."

After saying that, Yang Huan sat back down carefree.

Pini Zahavi also knew that this bet was difficult to fulfill, mainly because Chelsea's players were too uncompetitive.

But how can I explain if I go back like this?

So he simply took out his cell phone, made a call, and briefly explained the situation.

Soon, he hung up the phone again.

"Master Huan, Mr. Abramovich said that if you are willing to gamble, one for two."

Yang Huan shook his head and sighed.

Cash Harris stood aside and laughed, "Pini, Master Huan's point is not about changing a few players, but that he is not interested in bringing in Chelsea players at market prices. The salary is too high, they are too old, and they lack competitiveness."

Pini Zahavi also knew what was going on.

The problem is that the master in the opposite stand is determined to take this gamble and vent his anger.

As a last resort, I had to make another phone call and report the situation to Abramovich.

Although the scene was bustling with people, Cash Harris, who was standing closest, could still vaguely hear Abramovich's angry roar on the other end of the phone. He sighed in his heart and thought, why bother?

It is well known that Chelsea's veteran players have such high salaries and lack competitiveness in the transfer market.

But Neymar is a popular and talented rookie. Can he be equal to him?

Pini Zahavi quickly hung up the phone and looked at Yang Huan again.

"Master Huan, Abramovich means two for one. Neymar's transfer fee is increased to 40 million pounds!"

Even Cash Harris was dumbfounded.

It seems that the guy in the opposite stands is determined to get Neymar.

And he is confident that his team will win the game.

No wonder, since the Ranieri era, Chelsea has always been the team least likely to be upset.

This became even more obvious during Mourinho's time.

Even now, everyone knows that the team most difficult to upset in the Premier League is Chelsea.

Yang Huan smiled coldly. He knew that Abramovich was confident in his team and was determined to get Neymar.

There is a saying that is very true: what you can’t get is always the best.

Abramovich was very unhappy because he failed to get Neymar before, and this incident made him determined to get him, so he tried every means to make a bet with Yang Huan.

Only in this way could he make Yang Huan agree to release the person.

According to the normal transfer model, how could Southampton, which is not short of money, let Neymar go?

Even if you want to release it, you have to pay a sky-high price.

Pini Zahavi looked at Yang Huan expectantly.

In the eyes of Israelis, this price is already quite reasonable.

Forty million pounds is equivalent to forty-eight million euros.

In other words, Southampton made a net profit of nearly 20 million euros in one season by signing Neymar.

You're not willing to do such a deal?

Even Cash Harris felt that the conditions were too tempting and Yang Huan should agree.
