Chapter 235: Smash it to death!

"Zicheng, who's calling?"

In a street-front terraced apartment in London, Zhuang Ziqing's eyes showed concern, but on the surface he asked casually.

"Nothing, just a friend."

Zhuang Zicheng also smiled and said.

"Friend? Why did I hear you calling him..."

"Brother Huan!" Zhuang Zicheng looked at his sister with a smile.

That look made Zhuang Ziqing feel uneasy for no reason and her face turned red.

"Sister, what do you want to ask?" Zhuang Zicheng still had a smiling look on his face.

He really thought his sister was weird. Every time she mentioned Brother Huan, she would blush.

"I'm not interested in asking about your affairs!" Zhuang Ziqing hated in his heart.

I don’t understand what’s wrong with me.

Zhuang Zicheng smiled when he saw his sister like this, and confessed: "Actually, it's nothing. Brother Huan just told me that he plans to invest another 20 million pounds in my project, and asked me to speed up the time and make the product."

"Twenty million pounds?" Zhuang Ziqing was shocked. "Is he crazy?"

"What do you think?"

Zhuang Ziqing couldn't put it into words, but she always felt that this was a bit ridiculous.

"Sister, you actually care about him a lot."

"Who?" Zhuang Ziqing was shocked. "Me? Humph, how is this possible?"

That's what she said, but her panic-stricken look was not convincing at all.

"You can deny it, but you can fool others but not yourself." Zhuang Zicheng shrugged maturely.

Zhuang Ziqing was speechless. Do I really care about him?

"Brother Huan is not as crazy as many people think. He is not even a prodigal son. Did you know? He integrated the three major Italian automotive industrial designs and then let them develop in China. He hopes to help Chinese automakers improve their car designs as much as possible while making money."

Zhuang Ziqing was somewhat touched when she heard this, but she retorted, "He? Is he so noble?"

But Zhuang Zicheng just laughed, "Sister, you and him are a perfect match, you know him too well!"

Zhuang Ziqing's face turned red again, but she said nothing.

"Brother Huan certainly wouldn't say that. He criticized all the domestic automobile companies and said they were useless. Then he said he was going to China and showed them what the world's top level automobile industrial design is like."

Zhuang Zicheng tried his best to make his tone more like Yang Huan's, but he still could not bring out the essence of Yang Huan. Instead, he made it sound weird and out of place, which was extremely funny and made Zhuang Ziqing smile.

Although she had not spent much time with Yang Huan, this was definitely Young Master Huan's style.

"Let me tell you something else you probably don't know."

"What?" Zhuang Ziqing was really interested now.

"Do you know Psy and Yoona?"

"Yes, of course I know!" She felt a little uncomfortable.

She could see that there was something wrong with the way Lin Yoona looked at Yang Huan.

"Many media and institutions overlooked one point when calculating their earnings, which is the money they made in the Chinese market. For example, they uploaded their videos and MVs to Youdou Video, and the licensing fees alone exceeded eight figures in RMB."

This Zhuang Ziqing is really unclear.

"This amount of money is not a large sum in Brother Huan's eyes, so..."

Zhuang Ziqing glanced at his brother who was keeping the secret, revealing a concerned expression.

"Brother Huan waved his hand and used 20 to 30 million RMB to build several Hope Primary Schools in rural areas."

Zhuang Ziqing was shocked. How could this be possible?

There is absolutely no news from the outside world.

Zhuang Zicheng shrugged, "Except for a few people like Zhang Ning and Sun Yue, almost no one knows!"

"Then how did you know that?"

When Zhuang Ziqing asked this, he immediately realized that he had asked the wrong person.

His younger brother was the best hacker in the country. If he wanted to understand someone, there probably wouldn't be any secrets.

"I think that Brother Huan has many advantages and many disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that he is too romantic."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Zicheng couldn't help but laugh.

"But he himself has never denied this, and often says that he is romantic but not vulgar."

Zhuang Ziqing didn't quite believe this, "Then why are you still praising him?"

"I don't think this is a shortcoming for a man. Besides, Brother Huan is a man of integrity and loyalty. It would be a shame to miss him!"

Zhuang Ziqing never realized that her younger brother could be so chauvinistic.

"You've learned bad things from Yang Huan!"

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Zicheng nodded with a smile, "If I can really learn half of Brother Huan's skills, then I will be satisfied."

Zhuang Ziqing felt dizzy now.

She wondered if her brother had been brainwashed by Yang Huan?

Otherwise, how could he become a die-hard fan of Yang Huan?

"Sister." Zhuang Zicheng became serious.

"Dad asked me to tell you that grandpa's 80th birthday is coming up, and you have to go back."

"Why?" Zhuang Ziqing asked.

In fact, even without this instruction, she would definitely attend, because her grandfather loved her the most in the family.

"I heard that they want to arrange a blind date for you."

Zhuang Ziqing was shocked. "With whom?"

Soon, her face turned red.

Who else?

…………

In Southampton, dozens of kilometers away from London, Yang Huan had no idea that he had become the topic of conversation among a pair of siblings.

He was happily talking to Mino Raiola about the transfer of Javi Martinez.

Athletic Bilbao have agreed to sell Javi Martinez for £25 million.

This is definitely good news for Yang Huan.

"Master Huan, this time when we were negotiating with Athletic Bilbao, they were very stubborn on the price. I tried my best but failed to get the transfer fee down." Raiola felt a little guilty.

Of course, this self-blame was for Yang Huan to see, to make it clear that he had tried his best.

Yang Huan thought about it and decided that 25 million pounds was roughly 30 million euros, which was not too bad.

"It's okay, Mino, as long as we can come to an agreement!"

Yang Huan was thinking about something else, which was that Javi Martinez's salary was so cheap.

Even if he is given three times the salary, it will only be three million per year, only a quarter of Ibrahimovic's.

For Southampton, this kind of signing is good value for money.

What’s more important is that Xavi Martinez is still young and his current price is high. If he performs well in the future and wants to transfer again, his price will be even higher. Southampton will not lose out!

This kind of player with strong value retention is worth investing in!

"But, Master Huan, I managed to get an extra player from Athletic Bilbao."

"Oh, there's an extra gift? Buy one get one free!" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

It turns out that buyers are really getting the upper hand in the transfer market these days.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s no wonder.

With the onset of the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, most teams in almost all of Europe have fallen into operational difficulties.

Anyone who can come up with enough funds to buy at the bottom at this time will definitely be welcomed.

"Who? Could it be Llorente?" Yang happily guessed by himself.

"Although he is very good, we already have Ibrahimovic, and we are going to bring in Drogba. We also have two young players, Sturridge and Mitrovic. We don't lack center forwards!"

Raiola smiled bitterly.

Master Huan, Llorente is not cheaper than Xavi Martinez.

Unless the top management of Athletic Bilbao has been kicked in the head by a donkey, will they sell Xavi Martinez and give you Llorente?

"Is that Muniain?" Yang Huan guessed again, "Well, this kid is good and has a bright future. I am also optimistic about him."

When I first played FM, I once really liked to buy this little future to use.

"He is the famous genius in Spain, Master Huan!" Raiola still smiled bitterly.

Muniain is not worth 100 or 20 million euros now, can he be bought?

"Who is that? Just tell me!"

"Laporte."

Yang Huan frowned, "Laporte? Who?"

He seemed to have never heard of this player, and he didn't seem to be famous.

"A young French player born in 1994, he plays as a central defender with his left foot. I have watched him train and play a few games, and he is really good."

Yang Huan on the other end of the phone felt a little strange, as he had never heard of such a person.

He is not on France's roster for the World Cup in Brazil.

It doesn't look like it's that good.

Southampton already has Varane, Nastasic and Benatia. With the introduction of Javi Martinez, the central defender configuration will be pretty good.

"Mino, go ask them if they can just give you the discount instead of adding extra money."

Yang Huan felt that if he had never heard of him, he must not be a very promising player, so what was the point of introducing him?

"Master Huan, believe me, he is really a rising star for central defenders, no less capable than Varane." There was a hint of pleading in Raiola's tone. I negotiated for a bonus, is it easy for me?

Young Master, please, just accept it.

"Well, I believe you. It's a bonus anyway, so why not take it?"

"I understand. Thank you, Master Huan!" Raiola finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Yang Huan doesn't want Laporte and insists on cashing in, then the deal can still be negotiated.

In fact, Raiola also felt threatened this summer.

Ever since Master Huan met Pini Zahavi, the Israeli has been deliberately flattering him and has also introduced many young talents including Januzaj and Kovacic to Southampton at very low prices.

This guy's channels are impeccable, and he's very smart, which makes him very popular with the young master.

This summer, Southampton made two major signings. One of them was Javi Martinez from Athletic Bilbao, and the deal was handed over to Raiola.

As for another deal, Master Huan wanted to bring in the French Ligue 1 MVP player, Belgium's Eden Hazard, from the French Ligue 1 champion Lille. This transfer was handed over to Pini Zahavi to handle.

On the surface, the Israeli has a better relationship with Hazard's agent, making the operation easier and more successful, but deep down, it is more or less a warning to Raiola.

I don't want Raiola to dominate Southampton.

Therefore, Raiola was also very knowledgeable and sensible. He pretended not to see through it, did business with his tail between his legs, and made a fortune in silence.

At least in the past year, he has made a lot of money from WeChat operations, thanks to the advice of Master Huan.

This made him more firmly believe that he would be right if he held on to Young Master Huan.

Sure enough, as soon as the matter of Javi Martinez was discussed, Yang Huan gave him another business deal.

"Bielsa told me before that he felt the midfield was not short of defensive midfielders, so he wanted to bring in a commander-level midfielder."

Raiola hummed, "Xavi Martinez is good. He performed well in Athletic Bilbao and has the demeanor of a great general."

"I brought him in to play as a central defender!"

"Central defender?" Raiola was a little confused.

Javi Martinez plays as a central defender? Isn't he a defensive midfielder?

"Master Huan, he played as a defensive midfielder in both Athletic Bilbao and the Spanish national team!"

"I know, but I think he is more suitable to play as a central defender." Yang Huan replied with confidence.

Now Raiola was a little bit amused and helpless.

Bringing in Javi Martinez just to play as a central defender?

Can a defensive midfielder and a central defender be the same?

However, reason told him not to confront Young Master Huan at this time.

At worst, just let Xavi Martinez stay in Southampton. Master Huan doesn't lack that money anyway.

Just think of it as being willful.

"As for the midfielder recruitment, I wonder if Young Master Huan has any targets?"

Yang Huan nodded and said, "This player is not easy to poach. His team is also a wealthy and powerful team. They value his future prospects very much and just renewed his contract in April this year."

Raiola was in a dilemma now. "Master Huan, how do we dig this?"

But who knew that Master Huan would also say something cruel.

"It's okay. Take the money and smash it. Smash it to death until they agree!"
