Chapter 214 This guy has a future!
Most of the players sitting in the back row of Southampton were invited to Wembley Stadium to watch the FA Cup final.
They don't belong to Southampton yet, but they are players that Southampton has favored.
Except for the mature-looking Serbian teenager, Matija Nastasic.
After being introduced by Southampton last summer, the 18-year-old boy continued to play for Zemun in Serbia. He performed very well and has become the captain of the Serbian national youth team.
He is already considered a Southampton player.
The two players sitting next to Nastasic are his teammates in the national youth team, and they are also his teammates in the Belgrade Red Star youth team.
The tall man named Alexander Mitrovic is only sixteen years old, but he is already 1.89 meters tall and has a very strong build.
Don't be fooled by his harmless appearance and a bit of baby fat, but on the court, he fights harder than anyone else.
He is tall and strong, yet very flexible, very much like the Warcraft Drogba, but at the same time he has solid footwork and his playing style is a bit like Ibrahimovic, so at a young age he is praised by many as a potential top center forward in the future.
The shorter and thinner boy is called Lazar Markovic, who is about 1.7 meters tall. He is a winger, very fast, with excellent footwork, and can easily pass people.
At least, that's the case among my peers.
Sitting across the aisle from Nastasic and the other two were players from Croatia.
Interestingly, all three of them are from the same team, Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia.
One is Mateo Kovacic, a midfielder who just turned 17.
The tall guy next to him, about 1.8 meters tall, is called Tien Jedvaj. He plays as a central defender and is only 15 years old.
The youngest was a fourteen-year-old who looked like a child. His name was Allen Halilovich.
It is said that in Dinamo Zagreb, the youngest player Halilovic has a nickname, Messi!
What’s even more interesting is that in the row in front of these six people, there are two players who are also from the same team.
Anderlecht, Belgium.
The thin boy with delicate features and a childish look is called Adnan Januzai, sixteen years old.
The black boy who just refuted Pogba is called Youri Tielemans. He is only fourteen years old and looks strong and fierce.
In addition to these people, there were several other people on the bus, such as the 14-year-old local winger Patrick Roberts who was poached from Fulham's youth training camp, and the 15-year-old Belgian teenager Andres Pereira who was poached from PSV Eindhoven's youth team.
In the past season, Yang Huan began to make major reorganizations and adjustments to the Southampton youth training camp.
At the same time, he is also using his advantage as a time traveler to recruit new players.
I believe that any fan in 2014 would be so surprised that his jaw would drop when seeing this youth training lineup.
It’s full of geniuses concentration camp!
But even with such a group of players, there is still 10 million pounds left.
What a bargain, right?
As for whether they will become successful in the future, youth football training is like casting a wide net. Who can guarantee that every rookie will become successful?
Moreover, in Yang Huan's view, in addition to cultivating and improving the players' strength, the more important thing about youth training is to instill the team's spirit and fighting spirit into this group of young players.
Pogba walked to the back seat of the bus amidst the laughter of his teammates.
Although this kid has only been here for a year, he has already become a loyal follower of Master Huan.
Standing in front of Youri Tielemans, the Belgian boy raised his head and looked at him fearlessly.
"I remember you, Youri Tielemans."
"right!"
"You know what's the most important thing to become a Southampton player?"
As soon as Pogba said this, the group of people in the back row showed looks of concern.
But the group of people in the front of the bus all burst into laughter.
"What?" Thielemans asked.
Pogba clicked his tongue twice, "Master Huan said that we at Southampton adhere to the three no principles."
"Three don'ts" principle?"
"If the players want to transfer, don't keep them; if the players don't want to join Southampton, don't ask them; if they can't give their all on the court, don't use them!" Pogba laughed.
"This is our Southampton's three no principles!"
The group of newcomers in the back row were obviously frightened.
From these three "no's", it is not difficult to see that Southampton's requirements for players are still quite high.
"We Southampton may not be the strongest, but we are definitely the best!"
As soon as Pogba said this, there was a burst of shouting in response in the bus.
"You're right, we must be the best!"
"Who says it's not? Who in European football can beat us?"
"Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, these Premier League teams are all stronger than us, but we still beat them all!"
"If anyone dares to say they are stronger than us, we will kill them!"
"We in Southampton can be knocked down, but we can never be defeated!"
"Remember, rookies, this is our belief in Southampton!"
The group of newlyweds in the back seat of the bus were all filled with surprise.
In their view, this did not look like a group of players, but rather a group of howling wolves.
Although this group of wolves is still small, how terrifying will they be once they grow up?
Thinking back to the Southampton team on the field last season, they would beat up almost anyone they caught!
In last night's FA Cup final, Manchester United was badly beaten by Southampton and had a very embarrassing game.
"Remember what Master Huan said, we in Southampton only want real men, not cowards!"
Master Huan, Master Huan!
In just a few short sentences, I don't know how many times Master Huan was mentioned.
Furthermore, from their words, it is not difficult to sense the respect and even worship that this group of people have for Young Master Huan.
What kind of person is this Young Master Huan they are talking about?
A burst of cheers woke up everyone in the bus.
It turned out that before we knew it, the bus had entered the city of Southampton.
All around, there were fans coming to welcome the winning team.
At this moment, the warm atmosphere of celebrating the championship diluted the doubts in the hearts of the young players.
…………
…………
When Southampton's winning team entered the city and sounded the horn to start the victory celebration parade, Yang Huan appeared at the Calon Ségur Winery in the north of Saint-Estephe, northern Bordeaux, France.
In addition to Zhao Yuanfang and Sun Yue, Yang Huan was accompanied by Liu Mingwei, who came to Europe specifically to watch the FA Cup final.
Standing on a high place, looking at a glance, apart from a few ancient castles with the French Bordeaux style, all you can see are lush green grape plantations. The scene is so spectacular.
It's like a vast green ocean.
"Oh my God, how big is this area?" Liu Mingwei was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
It's incredible!
"Nearly a thousand acres!" It was also the first time for Yang Huan to see it, and he felt refreshed.
Not only is the environment here beautiful, the air is also quite good, with a unique atmosphere.
"One thousand acres?" Liu Mingwei was not the kind of person who had never seen the world, but he was still shocked.
"Master Huan, did you really buy it?"
This is a third-class winery in Médoc, a rare treasure that is hard to come by.
"Mr. Liu, this winery indeed belongs to Young Master Huan!" Zhao Yuanfang replied with a smile.
He personally finalized the deal.
"How much is the purchase price?" Liu Mingwei was more interested in this.
“Nearly 200 million euros!”
"Two hundred million?" Liu Mingwei was shocked.
My goodness, 200 million, and that’s Euros, not RMB.
“How many years of wine sales would it take to earn back the 200 million euros?”
The first thing Liu Mingwei thought of was to do some calculations.
Yang Huan and Zhao Yuanfang smiled at each other.
"The original Calon-Ségur is the top-quality wine. The annual production is 20,000 cases, which is nearly 250,000 bottles. The futures price of each bottle is around 40 Euros."
After hearing what Zhao Yuanfang said, Liu Mingwei counted with his fingers.
"It'll take twenty years!" He felt that this deal was not worthwhile.
"No, according to your calculation, you won't be able to make back your investment in 30 years!" Yang Huan laughed and shook his head.
Liu Mingwei didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
"After Master Huan acquired the Chiron family, he decided to invest 100 million euros to renovate and expand it. In addition, he will have to invest a considerable amount of money every year to operate it. So, according to this calculation, he won't be able to make back his investment in 30 years!"
Zhao Yuanfang's words made Liu Mingwei even more confused.
Could it be that Master Huan has too much money and has no place to spend it?
So, are you just going to burn the money for fun?
"Fatty Liu, don't say I didn't give you a chance." Yang Huan patted Liu Mingwei on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"You want to take my Wangjiang Pavilion's authorization, which I cannot agree to for the time being. However, I can give you an authorization from the Calon Family. You go to Longhai to open a flagship store of a top winery and help me sell wine."
"Selling wine? General agent?" Liu Mingwei's eyes lit up.
These days, importing wine from France and selling it domestically is still a very profitable business.
“Bullshit, we won’t have a general agent in the future, and we won’t sell wine en primeur. We will go directly from the winery to the retail terminals and consumers.”
Liu Mingwei was confused when he heard this, because Calon-Ségur is not a world-class brand winery like Lafite or Latour.
I invested in a winery, but I’m not even the general agent. How can I earn money?
"Master Huan, I..."
"In a word, do you believe me?" Yang Huan didn't like to talk too much with him.
He hates people who talk too much the most.
To do business, you need courage, right?
Liu Mingwei thought about it hard and was very hesitant.
The business of football betting cannot last long. As the saying goes, people make mistakes and horses stumble, and there is no guarantee that the truth will not be revealed one day.
Liu Mingwei is also a smart man. After making money, he doesn't want to risk his life like before.
If you want to whitewash yourself, you have to find some legitimate business to do.
It just so happened that Yang Huan's Wangjiang Pavilion was doing very well abroad, had been featured on Capital TV many times, and had three Michelin stars.
Therefore, he wanted to open a branch of Wangjiangge in Longhai.
But who would have thought that Yang Huan would not give him Wangjiang Pavilion, but instead gave him a wine store of the Calon Family, and it was not even the general agent. Wasn't it obvious that he was trying to trick him into joining the game?
Liu Mingwei really thought about refusing directly.
But when he looked at Yang Huan again, he found that Yang Huan really didn't care. He stood on a high place, pointing at the Calon-Ségur winery below, with a confident look as if he was giving orders. He was shaken.
In the past, Young Master Huan has done so many things, was there any time when he did not do it well?
Which time was not a great success?
In this FA Cup final, he made over 100 million yuan from underground gambling in Longhai City.
Damn it, at worst I can just pretend I didn’t earn any money!
Let’s bet!
"Master Huan, I will follow you!" Liu Mingwei shouted loudly.
Yang Huan laughed and nodded, "That's a bit ambitious!"
It’s true that Liu Mingwei is a man of some courage.
Without knowing anything or understanding anything, I decided to invest.
This guy has a future!
"No, Master Huan, I agreed. You have to tell me about your plan, right?"
Yang Huan curled his lips, "I don't have any plans for now."
"No plan?" Liu Mingwei almost fell off the hill.
Young Master, you don’t care about the two or three hundred million, but I care a lot about money.
I don’t have as much wealth as you do to spend money for fun!
God, please have mercy on me. As the banker, I make money by taking risks. Is it easy for me?
"Don't worry, planning is just like a woman's cleavage, you just need to squeeze it and it will appear."
Yang Huan smiled and patted the sad-looking Liu Mingwei, and comforted him.
