Chapter 251 Armed to the Teeth

As soon as I entered the training building, I found that many people were gathered outside Dr. Howard Hamilton's research center.

Yang Huan saw Charlene Lahri and Marcus Baumann of Adidas in the crowd and immediately walked over.

Could it be that Dr. Howard Hamilton's brainchild is doing pole dancing in there?

It was hard for Yang Huan to imagine that an old man dancing on the pole could have such charm.

It’s good enough if we don’t scare people away!

In fact, no one was jumping on the tube, but instead someone was running on a special treadmill.

Yang Huan recognized it at a glance. It was Javi Martinez who had just arrived in the UK today and was undergoing a physical examination for the team.

What was a bit strange was that he was wearing a tight black training suit.

It was the magical milk-boiling device that Yang Huan had just seen not long ago?

Inside the research center, in addition to Dr. Howard Hamilton, Dr. Marcus du Satoy, and the staff of the research center, there were several other strangers who were gathered together to study something.

On the wall in front of them, there was a 50-inch LCD screen that was rapidly collecting data on Javi Martinez on the treadmill.

Because the distance is a bit far, it is not clear what data is collected.

"What is that?" Yang Huan poked his head out from behind Charlene Lahri.

Charlene Lahiri watched everything that happened in the research center very attentively. To her, it was all so magical.

She had visited so many football teams, but she had never encountered anything like this.

The most advanced is Liverpool. They also collect player data through a set of training suits and the like, but that requires many other auxiliary means to achieve, and even detailed data can only be obtained after the training is over.

But Southampton can now get real-time data, and the data is refreshed very quickly.

Sometimes it refreshes continuously within one second.

"It looks like a newly made training suit." Charlene Lahri replied casually.

She didn't even look at who it was, her mind was completely focused on everything that was happening in the research center.

She even wondered what the use of this data was.

"Oh, it seems very powerful." Yang Huan leaned forward a little more.

One of the heads was almost brushing against Charlene Lahiri's face.

This immediately startled Charlene Lahiri. She reflexively turned her head away and asked in a lost voice, "What are you doing?"

When she saw clearly that it was Yang Huan, her pretty face suddenly turned red.

"Look, why are you so nervous?"

Charlene Lahiri was still a little frightened. That bastard just now kept silent on purpose, as if he wanted to... kiss me secretly?

"This place is mine, and the things you see are also mine. You can see them, but I can't?" Yang Huan said this with great righteousness. Is there such a weird truth in the world?

Charlene Lahiri secretly resented it in her heart, it was obviously you who wanted to take advantage of me, but you made it seem as if I was wrong.

But soon, her professional sense as a reporter made her want to capture the inside story.

"Hey, what is that?" Charlene Lahiri asked.

Not only him, Marcus Bauman also looked concerned.

If it was just Southampton, he wouldn't pay so much attention to it, but Yang Huan often does some incredible things, and this might be another of his brilliant ideas.

"Do you want to know?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Charlene Lahiri nodded, "Yes."

"I..." Yang Huan deliberately kept her in suspense.

When her watery eyes were fixed on Yang Huan, full of anticipation, he just laughed.

“…I won’t tell you!”

Charlene Lahiri was so angry that she wanted to kick him.

"That's our trade secret, understand? Can I tell you casually?"

After saying that, Yang Huan parted the crowd, walked to the door of the research center, and knocked gently a few times.

Immediately, a staff member ran over to open the door and called out, "Master Huan."

Suddenly, everyone in the research center looked over.

"Mr. Bauman, are you interested in coming in and taking a look?" Yang Huan invited with a smile.

Next, I need Adidas’ help with something.

Marcus Bauman looked at Charlene Lahiri, then looked around, and suddenly felt like he should lift his head, straighten his chest, and shrink his stomach.

We are Master Huan’s VIP guest!

"OK."

Charlene Lahiri immediately became anxious. This guy did it on purpose.

But just when she was sulking, Yang Huan smiled and made a gesture to her to invite him in.

This guy is so hateful!

You just know how to play tricks on people!

But after being teased by Yang Huan, I don’t know why, my heart beat faster and my face became very hot.

"Remember, don't report it!" Yang Huan warned solemnly.

It’s not that it’s really a trade secret, but Yang Huan doesn’t want it to be over-reported and interpreted by the media.

Charlene Lahiri gave him a sidelong glance but nodded in agreement.

"Master Huan."

As soon as Yang Huan walked inside, Howard Hamilton and others immediately came to greet him.

Javi Martinez even got off the treadmill.

The Spanish international had spoken to Yang Huan on the phone before, but this was the first time he met him in person.

He had originally thought that Young Master Huan was very young, but now that they met, he noticed that he was too young.

At the age of only twenty, he has accomplished so many great things. It's amazing.

My impression of Yang Huan completely changed at first sight.

"Is this the smart jersey?" Yang Huan looked at the training suit on Javi Martinez curiously.

"Yes!" Immediately a blond young man stepped out from the crowd and took the initiative to introduce Yang Huan.

"In addition to the intelligent constant temperature system, this training suit also has three fabric sensors that can collect multiple physiological indicators such as heart rate, breathing rate, breathing volume, and activity level."

As he spoke, the young staff member showed the tablet computer in his hand.

"The three fabric sensors can collect 42,000 data points per minute and transmit them to the coaches' handheld devices on the sidelines in real time, such as laptops, iPads or smartphones. Our software APP then calculates and analyzes these complex data to get the answers we want."

Charlene Lahri and Marcus Bauman were both surprised when they heard this.

With the emergence of smart phones and various smart devices, the application of sensors is becoming more and more extensive.

Unexpectedly, Southampton actually thought of using it on their jerseys.

This is simply the rhythm of arming all the Saints players to the teeth!

"How accurate is the detected data?" Marcus Bauman asked with concern.

The young man looked at Yang Huan and seemed not to dare to answer Marcus Bauman's question easily.

After getting Yang Huan's nod, he answered.

"Because of the close fit, the accuracy is definitely higher than other methods, and this is only our first generation of products."

Marcus Bowman thought of another question, "What about the transmission distance of data?"

“No problem covering the entire stadium!”

Yang Huan was delighted when he heard this. If this thing was really used, it would definitely be a great help to the head coach.

If it can be as precise as he said, then the head coach will be able to understand the players' conditions in real time anytime and anywhere.

"How does it feel to wear it?" Yang Huan asked Xavi Martinez.

The Spanish international is also quite young and curious about this kind of high-tech gadget. He was very excited to be the first to try and experience this smart jersey and kept nodding his head.

"Not bad. I can't feel the presence of the chip at all. It's just that the battery and the heater are a bit awkward."

Howard Hamilton immediately said, "In fact, nowadays, whether it is Nike or Adidas, they are already very professional and advanced in the design of jerseys. Moreover, jerseys need to be breathable. Once the players play on the field, their bodies will get hot, so heating and constant temperature are of little significance."

Yang Huan felt that what he said made some sense.

"Heating and constant temperature, I think it is more suitable to be placed on the training jacket to try to maintain the player's body temperature. As for the jersey, I think these sensors and the data collected are very useful."

After all, he is an expert and he always considers things more comprehensively.

Yang Huan looked at the smart jersey again and asked, "Can you make the fabric sensor you mentioned into a trademark?"

Everyone was stunned at first, but then they quickly understood Yang Huan's intention.

He was trying to conceal the presence of the sensor.

Of course, even if others knew about it, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

If you have the ability, go do it yourself.

"It's not a big problem." The young man thought about it and gave an answer on the spot.

Yang Huan looked at him with a smile, "What's your name?"

The young man immediately introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Dan Max, I'm from Stanford University, and I'm currently working at the WeChat Research Institute in Shenzhen, China."

Oh, turns out it worked for me.

Then Yang Huan doesn't need to be polite.

"Well, hurry up and prepare. The team will be training soon. We will use this system in the new season, so we must debug it before the season and collect enough data first."

"I understand!" Dan Max was mentally prepared.

"Marcus, do you have any questions?" Yang Huan looked at Marcus Bauman.

Southampton's jerseys are provided by Adidas. To implant sensors and chips on the jerseys, Adidas' cooperation is naturally required. In addition, the training suits are also provided by Adidas.

Marcus Baumann shook his head. "Our processing plant is in China, so cooperation in this area won't be a problem."

"Very good, then this matter is settled!"

After Yang Huan made the decision, he once again became a hands-off boss.

After all, such trivial matters can be followed up and handled by subordinates.

If you have to do everything yourself, where would you find the time to spend money on picking up girls and embarrass people?

Not spending money, not picking up girls, not humiliating people, is this still a diligent rich second generation?

"Master Huan!"

As soon as Yang Huan walked out of the research center, Marcus Bauman followed him out.

"What's up?"

Marcus Bauman smiled bitterly. He knew that Master Huan was very busy and had been waiting here all day.

"It's like this. We invited someone to design the home and away jerseys and third jerseys for Southampton in the new season, as well as the goalkeeper's jersey. I originally wanted to bring them to St. Mary's Stadium, but Nicola and Sun Yue both said that you have to make the final decision."

Yang Huan got angry after hearing this. "Are these two guys just freeloaders? Do I have to deal with such a small matter myself?"

Marcus Bauman was even more embarrassed.

It turns out that in the eyes of this young master, Adidas's sponsorship of 30 million pounds a year to Southampton is nothing.

However, I heard that he might not care much about his income of 5 million pounds a day.

But no matter what, now that people are here, we have to ask Young Master Huan for a decision.

"Okay, let me see it."

Marcus Bauman immediately took a tablet computer from the secretary next to him, opened it, and clicked on several pictures of jersey styles.

"Southampton's new season jersey uses our company's most advanced technology, which reduces weight by 30 percent and doubles the dryness. It also uses a unique knitted fabric technology, which makes the jersey have good moisture absorption and perspiration performance, feels very soft, and is very body-shaping, maximizing the players' athletic performance."

Yang Huan thought it sounded very high-end and classy, ​​but in his eyes, it was not much different from an ordinary jersey.

Or maybe there is a difference, but it's not particularly noticeable.

Anyway, these guys are just fooling people!

"How much do you plan to sell this jersey for?" Yang Huan didn't care about these parameters at all.

On the contrary, he is more sensitive to price.

"The fan version is fifty pounds, and the on-field version is a bit more expensive, seventy-five pounds."

However, Yang Huan couldn't help shaking his head after hearing this. "Fans spend fifty or seventy pounds to buy a piece of clothing that they don't even wear except when watching games and exercising. Do you think this is reasonable?"

Marcus Bauman was stunned and asked with a wry smile: "Isn't it the same for all teams?"

"They are them, and we are us!" Yang Huan became more certain of his idea.

"We in Southampton would never do such a thing!"
