Chapter 279 It's Crazy

"Haha, this Young Master Huan is really aggressive!"

Roger Moses laughed in his office at the BBC headquarters in London, England.

There were three people sitting opposite him, the one in the middle was his old subordinate, program director Barbara Slater.

The other two are Gary Lineker, the hosts of the BBC's flagship TV show, Match of the Day, and Alan Shearer.

These two people are legendary players in the eyes of British fans.

Today, daily matches rely on the two of them, along with the fan goddess Charlene Lahiri, as a regular partner.

After hearing what the director of the sports department said, the other people in the office also burst into laughter.

"I've heard from Charlene before that this Young Master Huan cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. If anyone he doesn't like is not happy with, he will definitely make that person uncomfortable." Gary Lineker said with a smile.

Barbara Slater couldn't help but smile. "But it's not appropriate to make such a scene with the media, is it?"

Roger Moses stretched out his hand and waved it, "It doesn't matter whether it's appropriate or not. The media will still criticize what they should criticize. Didn't you see that Ferguson and Mourinho almost scolded the media like grandsons? But what about the media?"

"Whenever there's news, don't you rush over to it?"

The BBC TV station where Roger Moses works is equivalent to China's CCTV. In his eyes, those newspaper reporters are not up to par and are naturally inferior to them.

"But he is an entrepreneur after all, and he has to take care of his image, right?" said Barbara Slater.

Looking at all the entrepreneurs, is there anyone like Yang Huan who always offends the media?

And started a war of words with others on WeChat?

I believe that in the eyes of those entrepreneurs, Yang Huan’s behavior is crazy!

"Perhaps, he has the capital to be willful!" Roger Moses quite admired Yang Huan's approach.

"Isn't he worried about what will happen if he fails to get members?"

Barbara Slater's words also reminded the three men present.

The conditions Yang Huan faces now are even more stringent.

The reason is very simple. The users who bid at 12 o'clock must be those who bid at midnight and 1 o'clock.

But according to common sense, those users should be fast asleep after staying up all night.

How could there be time to grab it?

And after all, the membership fee of 100,000 pounds is still too high.

If it were reduced to 10,000 or 1,000 pounds, we would probably be able to recruit more members.

Sometimes, they also wonder why it is necessary to pay 100,000 pounds to recruit 1,000 people?

Why can't it be one thousand pounds for one hundred thousand people?

"What do you think of the public reaction?" Roger Moses also revealed some concerns.

He supports Yang Huan, but judging from the current situation, Yang Huan's situation is indeed not optimistic.

"The Daily Mail's website, Mail Online, immediately followed up on this report and refuted Yang Huan's remarks. At the same time, they are also paying close attention to the competition at 12 o'clock. There are also other websites. I believe that many netizens are paying attention to it."

Roger Moses nodded continuously as he listened. This incident might seem like nonsense, but it was actually a big event on the Internet.

"Everyone is generally pessimistic, thinking that members should be able to receive some. The more optimistic ones think that within 24 hours, there should be dozens of people who will receive it, but it won't be too high, while the pessimistic ones think that there may only be a few people."

Barbara Slater also sighed.

After all, this is a no-cost business.

In the words of some neutral commentators, receiving any number of them is considered a victory.

One hundred thousand pounds each, and if you collect ten of them, that would be one million.

Think about it, Real Madrid went to the United States to play warm-up matches, but how much money did they make after playing a few games?

That is four or five million euros!

But you, a Championship team, set up a membership program without any effort and earned over a million dollars. Isn’t that awesome?

"It seems that most of the media are now waiting to slap Yang Huan in the face!" Roger Moses shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He even wondered if this Young Master Huan had made the situation too heated.

If we don’t do this, we’ll just take as many as we can.

But now that everything has gone wrong, if we collect less, we will definitely be ridiculed.

"What do you think?" Roger Moses looked at Lineker and Alan Shearer.

Alan Shearer is from Southampton, has feelings for the team and is familiar with the city.

"Southampton has attracted a lot of middle-class people in recent years. Many of them choose to work in London and live in Southampton, but there are very few truly wealthy people."

Alan Shearer's analysis makes sense.

The true Southampton fans are the people who live in this city.

But the thing is, for them to buy season tickets, they can afford it.

But it is impossible to pay the annual membership fee of 100,000 pounds.

"I think, with Southampton's influence and Yang Huan's fame and appeal, fifty should be feasible. After all, they are not just recruiting in the local area, but people from all over the world can join!"

Barbara Slater heard what Lineker said, but smiled and retorted.

"Gary, don't forget that they require you to be present at every game."

This condition is quite harsh.

Because for many people in Asia and America, is it possible to fly to the UK once a week?

Lineker heard it and thought it made sense.

"I think the most likely scenario is that it will become a protracted war!" Barbara Slater tried to analyze Yang Huan's plan.

"Attract media attention, even argue with them, get them to report, and then members continue to receive it. When they are satisfied with the amount received, they will stop. Anyway, there is no time limit, right?"

Barbara Slater's words made everyone else laugh again.

The more I think about it, the more I think this is a possibility.

Maybe Yang Huan really had this in mind!

Roger Moses turned his left wrist and looked at his watch. "Wow, it's almost time!"

As he said that, he opened the browser on his computer.

Seeing his three subordinates on the opposite side leaning over eagerly, he immediately turned the monitor around.

"Everyone watch it together!"

The browser quickly entered Southampton's official website page, but it was loading very slowly.

"Wow, what a crappy server! No wonder it went on strike in the middle of the night!"

Roger Moses' complaint made everyone smile.

"I heard that this is after the upgrade. Just imagine what the situation was like before the upgrade."

Alan Shearer suddenly said, "I've tested it before. Southampton's official website is the best among all European teams. If it's so slow, it's either because there are too many people or someone is downloading it here."

When Roger Moses heard this, he immediately picked up the phone and called his secretary.

"Mary, go out and check immediately. Tell those guys who are using BT to download Japanese love action movies to shut down their app. They are affecting my bid for Saints membership!"

This immediately made everyone in the office laugh again.

But it still has no effect, the loading is still very slow and stuck.

Gradually, the competition page finally appeared.

But the entire page appeared slowly, layer by layer, as slow as a snail.

"Let Xia Lin and Yang Huan report it later and ask them to improve the service. It's too slow!"

Barbara Slater also smiled bitterly, "I guess there really are too many people."

But several people present felt that the large crowds were because there were many onlookers, but not many people who would actually come to grab the items.

After all, one hundred thousand pounds is not something that just anyone can give.

After waiting for a long time until the page was displayed and the button to join as a member appeared, Roger Moses immediately clicked on it.

I just clicked in, and the page is loading slowly again...

"Director, so you also get up in the middle of the night to grab it?" Lineker was very surprised.

Barbara Slater and Alan Shearer looked at Roger Moses with amusement.

Now Roger Moses realized that he had accidentally exposed himself.

"Hehe, actually I didn't plan to really rob, I just wanted to give it a try, as it's needed for the news!"

But these words sounded a bit suspicious to the other three people.

real?

But only Roger Moses himself knows what is true and what is false!

Wait...wait...wait...

After finally waiting for the page to load, the four of them were already exhausted.

But the page that popped up surprised them all.

"Sorry, one thousand memberships have been taken!"

Roger Moses and his three subordinates opposite him looked at each other in amazement.

"This... is it finished already?"

Roger Moses immediately looked at his watch again. It was only twelve hours, one minute and thirty-seven seconds.

"How is that possible?"

Barbara Slater also kept shaking her head. "This is impossible. In just over a minute, all 1,000 spots were taken?"

"It's absolutely impossible. There are a thousand places, and each place is worth 100,000 pounds, which means 100 million pounds. In just over a minute, 100 million pounds was earned? Who would believe this?"

Even Alan Shearer, who supports Southampton, found it unbelievable.

"Could it be that the server crashed again?"

Everyone immediately felt that this was a possibility.

"Editor-in-chief, please refresh the page quickly."

Roger Moses immediately clicked to refresh the page.

The loading speed was still very slow. It took more than a minute to reach the competition page.

At this time, the option to join the membership has turned gray, and there are two lines of text below.

One thousand people have joined as members!

Sorry, the membership is full!

This is unbelievable!

In just over a minute, a thousand spots were snatched up?

Moreover, one place costs 100,000 pounds!

This is incredible!

How is that possible?

It's totally unscientific!

"It's just like Apple fans fighting over iPhones!" Gary Lineker said with a wry smile.

"No, even crazier than Apple fans!" Alan Shearer also smiled bitterly.

Barbara Slater looked even more incredulous, "Could it be cheating?"

This was an idea that came from her heart.

As soon as she said this, everyone had the same idea.

Yeah, could it be cheating?

Only cheating can describe this madness!

Just over a minute, a thousand places, and one hundred million pounds, how is that possible?

Besides, Young Master Huan is very wealthy, so he can come up with 100 million pounds!

Roger Moses didn't say anything the whole time, just listened in amazement to the doubts of his men.

But when he refreshed the page again, there was some extra content.

"In order to prevent some nasty guys from accusing us of cheating, we have specially published a list of one thousand members!"

Below are the members' names and nationalities.

“Is this true or false?”

"have a look!"

“They actually posted the list!”

At the top of the list are members from the UK.

I don’t know the top few people, but judging from their surnames, they are basically rich second-generations or aristocrats.

But when I scrolled down, I immediately saw a familiar name.

William Arthur Philip Louis!

This is Prince William!

Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor!

This is Prince Harry!

Wow, both princes are competing!

Who dares to say it’s fake?

"And this!" Barbara Slater pointed to a name on the screen.

"Hugh Richard Louis Grosvenor, seems to be the only son of the Duke of Westminster!"

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded.

Wow, the Duke of Westminster is the richest man in the UK, the number one real estate developer, and a big shot on the Forbes list.

If his only son is on the list, then how could this list be fake?

It's crazy!

Oh my god, this is crazy!
