Chapter 42 Crazy

When Yang Huan saw Ibrahimovic for the first time, his first impression was that he was tall.

The Swedish center is like a mountain, a tall and strong mountain.

There are people taller than Ibrahimovic, but being as tall and strong as him puts a lot of pressure on people.

At this moment, looking at him face to face, Yang Huan could deeply understand why those defensive players on the court were so troubled by him. Just seeing him, you would feel a sense of oppression.

But this feeling of oppression only lasted for a moment for Yang Huan.

"Before you sign your name, I want to ask you a question." Yang Huan stared at the Swedish center and said.

Just an hour ago, Southampton reached a consensus in the presence of Raiola and the players' lawyers.

Southampton signed Swedish center forward Ibrahimovic for 20 million euros. At the same time, Southampton also reached a consensus with Raiola on the player's salary contract. The entire transfer process only lacks Ibrahimovic's signature.

"You say." Ibrahimovic looked calm.

Yang Huan smiled slightly, "If I remember correctly, you will be 29 years old soon. People say that professional players start to decline at the age of 30. We are Southampton in the English League One now. I am confident that we can return to the Premier League in two years. By then, you will be 31 years old."

Ibrahimovic and Raiola were listening silently on the side, not knowing what this young master wanted to say.

"What I want to ask you is, when we return to the Premier League, can you still lead Southampton to the league title? Do you still have the ability?"

Being stared at by Yang Huan and listening to Yang Huan's questions, Ibrahimovic suddenly felt a surge of ambition in his heart.

"Yes, I promise, I can do it!" The Swedish center clenched his fists and promised with gritted teeth.

"Not only do I want to win the league title, but also the European competitions. I am eager to meet Barcelona because I want to let them know that missing out on me, Ibrahimovic, is the biggest mistake they have made!"

After listening to this, Yang Huan smiled and nodded, "Very good, I believe you, and I believe you will not forget everything I said today!"

After saying that, Yang Huan made way, stretched out his hand, and asked Ibrahimovic to step forward.

The Swede did not go up, but stood there, "I have a question too, can I ask it?"

"You ask."

"I am confident that even in three or four years, I will still be the world's top center forward, but can you promise me that Southampton will be able to compete for the league title and European competitions by then?"

Ibrahimovic's tone was a little crazy, but Yang Huan just laughed when he heard it.

Crazy? A little bit, indeed!

But as a top star, being arrogant is not necessarily a bad thing.

"I can promise that when Southampton returns to the Premier League, it will be the beginning of the nightmare of all the Premier League giants. When we return to European competitions, we will make all the giant teams tremble and make them crawl on the ground and beg for mercy!"

Yang Huan spoke with a serious expression, but he exuded an extremely strong sense of confidence.

After listening to this, Ibrahimovic didn't say much. He just walked forward, picked up the pen, and signed his name.

If he was somewhat worried before meeting Yang Huan, then after hearing the entire negotiation process from Raiola, seeing Yang Huan in person, and getting his promise in person, Ibrahimovic no longer had any worries.

Although everything is possible on the football field and everything is full of unknowns, he can be 100% sure that joining Southampton now is a very good opportunity and challenge for him.

He decided to give it a try. If he succeeded, he would become a legend. If he failed, he would risk a huge regret in his career.

Charlene Lahiri sat in her office, deftly fiddling with a ballpoint pen between her fingers.

The unfortunate ballpoint pen was fiddled with by the beautiful lady with a frown on her brows, and occasionally fell onto the desk.

Yesterday afternoon, she received an inside information from Southampton that the team's owner Yang Huan and executive chairman Nicola Cortes were not in Southampton. No one in Southampton said they knew where they went.

This made her, who always had a keen sense of news, realize that something was wrong and there must be something wrong.

She began to speculate that it might be related to what Yang Huan had said before, the superstar that Southampton wanted to bring in.

After all, during this period of time, many people outside have begun to doubt whether Southampton is really capable of introducing superstars, and Southampton fans have been looking forward to the team's signings.

Although the team has introduced many players, none of them is a well-known star.

From this point of view, Southampton needs a superstar, at least to fulfill the promise Yang Huan made before.

But Charlene Lahri was in a dilemma. She wanted to get some inside information, but she didn't know whether she should call Yang Huan.

In the past few days, she didn't know how many secrets she had betrayed.

Just as she was hesitating, the cell phone on the table dinged and vibrated.

Charlene Lahiri sighed, put down her ballpoint pen, picked up her cell phone, opened the text message, and found that it was from Yang Huan.

"If you want the inside scoop, download the WeChat app and search for Ibrahimovic!"

Charlene Lahiri was a little puzzled. What did this mean?

But soon, she decided to give it a try.

Since she was using an Android phone, she went directly to the Android Market and searched for the app called WeChat.

After finding it, I downloaded it directly to my mobile phone for free. After opening it, I was prompted to register.

The entire registration process was also very simple and was completed easily, but after entering the app, I did not have any friends.

“Do you want to scan the phone contacts?”

Charlene Lahiri chose yes, quickly scanned her phone address book, and said that she was the only one in her contacts using the app, and she could also invite more friends to use the app and enjoy services such as free sending and receiving text messages, pictures, and chat emoticons.

Throughout the entire usage process, Charlene Lahiri was impressed by the app's simplicity and speed, as well as its quick response. The entire interface was clear at a glance, without any difficulty in understanding, so she quickly figured out how to search.

Enter Ibrahimovic and a result was quickly obtained.

Celebrity accounts, do you follow them?

Charlene Lahiri chose yes.

After following, a message popped up immediately, which was a photo and two sentences.

The photo shows Ibrahimovic and his agent standing in a room. On the table in front of them is a white contract with a round pen on it and a long artistic signature in the lower right corner of the contract.

I believe that when everyone sees this photo, their first reaction is that Ibrahimovic has signed with a new club.

Charlene Lahiri looked at the photo in amazement.

She had thought that Southampton would bring in a star player, but she never imagined that the star Southampton was going to bring in was Ibrahimovic, the best top center forward in the world.

God, has this world gone crazy?

Ibrahimovic is actually going to play in the English League One?

How is this possible?

Who would believe it if I told them?

But she quickly turned her attention to the bottom of the photo.

“It’s a brand new challenge, I’m really looking forward to it!”

"There are things I want to say and do. See you here in three days!"

Charlene Lahiri quickly understood what Yang Huan meant and cursed in her heart, "What a shrewd fellow!"

But she soon began to think about how to write the manuscript to suit Yang Huan's intentions.

It was obvious that Yang Huan wanted to use Ibrahimovic's transfer event to hype this mobile app, so Charlene Lahiri thought about it, rewrote a text message, and sent it to a group of people in her mobile phone address book, including some reporters who usually exchanged intelligence and news with her. She sent it directly to them, but omitted the information about Yang Huan and Southampton.

If we just look at this WeChat message, who would know that Ibrahimovic is going to join Southampton?

After sending the text message, Charlene Lahiri smiled and said, "This is all I can do. It's up to you whether it works or not!"

But five minutes after she sent the text message, her phone started to receive notification text messages one after another, and some of her friends in her phone address book started using the WeChat app.

At first, there was only one every once in a while, then one every two or three minutes, then one every minute, but in the end, there were several in one minute, and even the employees of the Southern Echo started using it.

Nowadays, which journalist doesn’t want to get the first-hand news?

WeChat Studio.

Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin stared in amazement at the numbers in front of them that reflected the number of users. They both found it incredible.

In just less than twelve hours, from the release of this software to now, the number of users has exceeded 10,000, and is still continuing to soar at a rapid pace, which is far beyond their expectations.

Incredible, absolutely incredible!

Zhu Liangcheng even pressed his heart. He felt his breathing was a little rapid and he needed to calm down.

"What is going on?" Wang Lin looked at Zhu Liangcheng with a wry smile.

It's already past midnight in Southampton, but the number of users continues to soar.

“Is it because of Ibrahimovic’s celebrity account?”

Zhu Liangcheng smiled bitterly and nodded, "Maybe it's true. Master Huan suddenly called us and asked us to make the software available for download. I guess he calculated the timing just right. It's already over 10,000 in 12 hours. Oh my God, is this going to be a big hit?"

Wang Lin also smiled bitterly. This completely overturned all their previous understandings.

Even now, he still hasn't figured out why more than 10,000 people suddenly came to download this app?

At this time, a tall man ran over and said, "Mr. Zhu, now they are not only following celebrity accounts, but more and more people are sending and receiving text messages and pictures to each other. I am worried that if this continues, the server may not be able to handle it."

After being reminded of this, Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin finally woke up.

"Yes, the server. This is a critical moment. There must be no problems with the server!" Zhu Liangcheng jumped up.

If there was a problem with the server at this time, Yang Huan would definitely kill him.

Although there are only more than 10,000 users, sending and receiving text messages and pictures on WeChat is free of charge. Only traffic usage is calculated, so it is not painful to use. In addition, users can clearly know whether the other party has received, checked or even replied to the message, which makes many users use this application as frequently as chatting.

At this time, the pressure on the server will be very high.

Wang Lin became anxious when he heard this. "Then I'll go and take a look. You guys take care of this."

Zhu Liangcheng nodded vigorously and turned to the tall man, "Help me analyze it. I want to know clearly which countries these users are from and what their perceptions and experiences of the app are."

These are all to further improve the user experience.

As Zhu Liangcheng made a series of division of labor arrangements, he looked back at the computer screen and saw that the numbers were still rising rapidly. At this growth rate, it would soon exceed 20,000.

"Oh my God, am I dreaming?"

Zhu Liangcheng slapped himself hard, it hurt a lot, and then he was sure that he was not dreaming.

But how long will this madness last?
