Chapter 333: Stunning Beauty
It takes about an hour to drive from London to Southampton.
You can take the sea route, starting in the morning, it's slow and you won't arrive until noon.
Along the way, Yang Huan told Hamad about the Eclipse and Abramovich.
Hamad was so angry that he started cursing.
When Yang Huan told the story of how Abramovich drove his yacht to Southampton to show off a year ago, but couldn't find the pier to dock, the second-generation Qatari official was so happy that he exclaimed and clapped his hands in admiration.
"It's time to teach this Russian upstart a lesson"
The yacht passed through the Solent and entered Southampton.
Just at the confluence of the Test River and the Itchen River, you can see a reclamation project in full swing.
"Master Huan, what is that about?" Hamad asked curiously.
"Reclamation"
"Reclamation?"
"I plan to build a sea football stadium and a seven-star underwater hotel here."
Hamad's eyes lit up when he heard this. Isn't this too generous?
It is exactly the same as the famous World Island in Dubai.
"But, Master Huan, Dubai's World Island has already become an unfinished project. Can your artificial island project work?"
Yang Huan laughed and said, "Our project is different from that of Dubai World Island."
"Once our project is ready, a ship from China will bring in some large steel cylinders with a diameter of more than 20 meters and a height of 50 meters. We will then use lifting machinery to insert these huge cylinders deep into the riverbed to fix the artificial island. Then we will use riprap slope embankments to further reinforce the edge of the artificial island."
"It's like building a cup in the sea. First, build the wall of the cup, and then put things in it. Moreover, the area of our artificial island will be five meters higher than the sea level, so it will be no problem to cope with the wind and waves of the Solent Strait."
Hamad kept nodding his head and seemed very excited.
“This is a super project.”
When the yacht approached, Hamad saw the five-star red flag of China hanging above the project, which immediately amazed him again.
"Only China's infrastructure strength can undertake such a mega project."
Yang Huan smiled but said nothing.
Just sinking those huge steel cylinders will take at least until May, and then land reclamation work will have to be carried out.
The entire reclamation project is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
But this is only the first step of the project.
To build a football field here, many more factors need to be considered, and the construction of the new stadium will take at least three years.
By that time, Southampton should have been in the Premier League.
If the engineering of the offshore football field is amazing, then the engineering of the underwater seven-star hotel is equally amazing.
Yang Huan was standing on the yacht. When he passed the construction site, he did not see any trace of the design team.
Obviously, Huang Ying is not here.
The yacht arrived at the Royal Dock near the Sailing Headquarters.
Yang Huan took Hamad on the Lagonda Conqueror and headed straight for his villa.
Along the way, Hamad was full of praise for the Lagonda Conqueror and said that he would not only order one, but also recommend the car to his wealthy friends and introduce it to the Middle East for sale.
Yang Huan just smiled at this. Who would take something spoken seriously?
When Yang Huan arrived at his home, he just got out of the car and saw the door was open.
"Master, you're back." Xiaobu smiled like a surprised little magpie and came out of the house to greet them.
"Yeah," Yang Huan nodded.
"Will you eat lunch at home?"
Yang Huan looked at the time and said, "Well, go get something to eat."
Xiaobu hummed and noticed the Middle Eastern man next to Yang Huan who looked a little wretched and inappropriate.
That's too stupid, isn't it?
Even saliva is flowing out
A pair of eyes were almost fixed on Xiao Bu, looking at him with a distracted look, and he was completely dumbfounded.
Xiaobu frowned slightly, obviously feeling uncomfortable with the other person staring at him like that.
But thinking that the other party might be the young master's friend, he didn't dare to do anything.
Yang Huan noticed it and coughed heavily.
Hamad finally woke up and was astounded by Xiaobu.
"Master Huan, this is..."
"My servant"
"Servant?" Hamad wanted to kneel down to Yang Huan.
Such a fresh and refined girl is actually used as a servant?
This is not only a waste of natural resources, it is simply intolerable
No, no, I have to save her, I have to save her
"Master Huan, in one sentence, how much is it? I'll buy it."
"What?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.
He knew that the status of women in the Middle East was very low. Could it be that there was still a custom of buying and selling women?
Hamad also saw the disgusted look on Xiaobu's face and immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing.
"I mean, transfer, haha, job-hopping, just like your players transferring, or your employees changing jobs."
After he said this, Yang Huan shook his head and laughed.
"How is it, Master Huan?" Hamad looked at Yang Huan with a pleading look on his face.
"She is just my worker, not mine. You can talk to her. As long as she is willing, there is no need for any transfer fee."
Hamad immediately looked at Xiaobu and said, "Miss, I don't care how much you earn working for Master Huan. If you come back with me, whether you like to live in Qatar or London, I will give you ten times, no, twenty times your salary."
Xiaobu was really surprised.
Young Master Huan was already considered wealthy, but he didn't expect that this wretched man from the Middle East was even richer.
But when she saw his obscene look again, Xiaobu couldn't help but feel disgusted.
How could this person become so wretched?
The two men stood together. Master Huan was handsome and talented, but what about him?
From a woman's perspective, if she has to choose someone, she would definitely choose a handsome guy like Master Huan.
Besides, Master Huan was my lifesaver and helped me get into the medical school of the University of Southampton. I haven't repaid him for this kindness yet. If I agree to change jobs for money, would I still be a human being?
Hamad saw Xiaobu was silent and thought something was wrong, so he shouted again: "As long as you agree to go with me, I will agree to any conditions you put forward as long as I can do it."
Yang Huan was puzzled. Could it be that this guy fell in love with Xiao Bu at first sight?
Doesn’t he like mature women with plump waists and big buttocks?
Suddenly, it changed from heavy taste to fresh taste, which is quite amazing
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I'm going to take a shower first."
After saying that, Yang Huan shook his head and smiled bitterly and went upstairs.
After finally waiting for Yang Huan to finish his shower, change his clothes, and go downstairs, he found the atmosphere downstairs a little weird.
How to say it?
As a guest, Hamadrong pulled his head, looking like a defeated rooster.
Xiao Bu stood in the restaurant, looking timidly at Yang Huan who was coming down the stairs.
Four delicious dishes and one soup were already placed on the table.
"What's going on?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.
Hamad raised his head, looked at Xiaobu with resentment, then looked at Yang Huan, "I'm heartbroken."
Yang Huan burst out laughing on the spot.
When the hell did you fall in love?
Still heartbroken
However, after he said this, Yang Huan immediately guessed what was going on.
Who is Xiaobu?
Although she has been poor since childhood, as the saying goes, children from poor families grow up early, she is very smart.
Besides, she has been in heaven and earth, what kind of men has she not seen?
How could she be fooled by this wretched man from the Middle East with just a few words?
Not to mention that he is just the son of the prime minister, even if he is the king of Qatar, I am afraid he will run into a wall.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Chinese women are hard to chase after."
Yang Huan patted his shoulder and said earnestly.
When Hamad heard this, he immediately looked at Master Huan for help, "You have to help me."
"Okay," Yang Huan nodded with a smile.
Xiao Bu frowned and looked at Young Master Huan.
That look seemed to be saying, do you really want to drive me away?
Yang Huan glanced at her and said, "I was just talking, do you take it seriously?"
Besides, this guy looks like a playboy no matter how you look at him, how can he be so infatuated?
Xiao Bu finally nodded in relief and said, "Master Huan, you are not allowed to help him."
Don't worry, ok, no problem
"Come, eat"
Yang Huan, Long Wu and Hamad sat at the dining table to eat, while Xiao Bu went back to the kitchen to eat.
As a result, Hamad thought that Xiaobu was unwilling to eat at the same table with him, and his face looked even more like bitter melon.
"Master Huan, this..."
"It's okay, she's just like that," Yang Huan chuckled.
At first he also invited Xiaobu to eat with him at the dining table, but Xiaobu said that a servant should act like a servant, and she should either eat later, waiting until Yang Huan and the others had finished eating, or she should just leave some and eat in the kitchen by herself.
Yang Huan said it several times at first, but later Yu Cui just followed her.
Sometimes I wonder if she is doing this just to be honest or just to keep her distance.
"Come, let's eat"
Yang Huan called out and started eating right away.
Xiaobu’s cooking skills are pretty good, and Yang Huan and Long Wu are used to it, so it’s no big deal.
But Hamad was eating so much that he almost swallowed his tongue, praising it non-stop, which made people wonder if it was really delicious or if it was just a matter of beauty in the eyes of the beholder.
Yang Huan couldn't even tell whether this guy really liked Xiao Bu or was just trying to be nice.
Xiaobu doesn't like him anyway, so why bother thinking about all this?
After finishing their meal, taking a rest and drinking some tea, Yang Huan took Hamad to Staplewood.
The kid kept muttering to himself along the way, asking Yang Huan to help him.
Looking at his expression, he almost wanted to kneel down and beg Yang Huan.
Saint Peter, the security guard at Staplewood, saw Yang Huan's car and opened the gate early.
Yang Huan greeted him and entered Staplewood.
Hamad was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. He looked at this training base that looked like a garden with his eyes wide open in amazement.
This is before the flowers, plants and trees have grown out. If they had all grown up, the scenery would definitely be more beautiful than it is now.
"Master Huan, your training base is awesome," he gave a thumbs up and praised.
Yang Huan smiled, took him up the stairs and walked into the training building.
The facilities of Southampton's training building are not inferior to those of Manchester United's Carrington, Arsenal's Kearney, Chelsea's Cobham, and even Real Madrid's Valdebebas.
In many ways, Southampton is even better.
For example, the Data Analysis Center.
After the establishment of Southampton's analysis team, its role in the team has become increasingly important and the results have become increasingly obvious.
As soon as Yang Huan arrived at the gate of the analysis center, he saw the staff inside were coming and going in a chaos as if they were at a war.
"Master Huan, why are there so many people here?" Hamad was very surprised.
Standing outside the gate, you can see lit computer screens everywhere. If you don’t know, you might think you have arrived at the office of an Internet company.
Yang Huan felt amused. It was a bit of a fuss.
"This is our data analysis center, which is used to analyze the data of the team and the opponents."
The Southampton data center alone has more than 20 employees, all of whom are postgraduates or graduates from prestigious universities in the UK and the US.
"According to our usual rules, we played against Chelsea yesterday, so we should have a summary meeting today. They are preparing the information and data for the summary meeting in the afternoon."
The game has been played and no matter whether you win or lose, the result is already determined and cannot be changed.
But for a team or a player, the most important thing is not to be obsessed with the results, but to understand why you win and why you lose. After understanding, you can think about how to continue winning and how to avoid losing again in a similar situation next time.
When Yang Huan gave a brief introduction, everyone in the analysis center saw him.
