Chapter 600 Do I look like one?

Knock, knock, knock

"Come in!"

Ralph Toppin was sitting in his office at William Hill's headquarters in London when he looked up and saw the manager of the investment department open the door and walk in with a few tickets in his hand.

"Ralph, here are the tickets you asked for!"

"Thank you!" Ralph Topping thanked him, took it, rubbed it open and saw, wow, there were only three.

"Why so little?" William Hill's CEO was a little surprised.

Usually, whenever they want to watch a game at the home stadium of a certain team, the company's people can always help them get a large stack of tickets.

Even at a stadium like Manchester United's Old Trafford, getting a dozen tickets is just a piece of cake.

When the investment department manager heard this, he secretly exclaimed "As expected" and immediately smiled bitterly.

"Ralph, you don't know that for this game, Southampton will not sell any tickets except for season ticket fans. Instead, they will all be given away as gifts, just like the Champions League final!"

I wanted to buy tickets from Southampton, but was turned away.

In the end, I managed to get three tickets through Cash Harris from the City of London.

Otherwise, it might be difficult to even get one!

"Ah?" Ralph Topping was a little surprised.

This is the Premier League, not the Champions League final. How could Southampton do this?

The investment manager shook his head helplessly. "With Southampton's troubles and the fact that the entire Premier League championship depends on this game, scalpers are rushing to buy tickets from season ticket fans and then reselling them at a high price."

Ralph Toppin was full of surprise. How could it be done like this?

All Premier League matches have ended, but only Southampton and Chelsea had their 37th round of Premier League matches postponed because they were participating in the FA Cup final.

These two games were very interesting.

Chelsea is currently ranked sixth in the Premier League, only two points behind Arsenal and one point behind Tottenham Hotspur. As long as they can beat Everton at home, they will be able to immediately reverse Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur and enter the top four of the league.

The same is true for Southampton, which has one game less and is two points behind Manchester United. As long as they beat Stoke City at home, Southampton will be able to immediately reverse Manchester United and win the championship.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this match held at St. Mary's Stadium is the final for the Premier League championship.

"This match is highly anticipated by everyone. Sky TV is broadcasting this match as if it were a Champions League final. It will be broadcast live in more than 100 countries and regions around the world."

"I heard that Southampton sent out invitations two days ago, inviting Saints legends, former Saints stars, and some sponsors to come to the scene to watch the game, and the Premier League and the English Football Association also decided to send the Premier League championship trophy to Southampton. As long as the Saints win after the game, the award ceremony will be held immediately!"

At this point, the investment department manager couldn't help laughing.

"It would be interesting if Southampton accidentally lost to Stoke City at home!"

Ralph Topping couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

In European football, things like this are not uncommon.

Almost every year there are several interesting incidents where a team seems to have a clear shot at winning, but ends up losing the championship.

Even like Manchester United this season, more than three months ago, wasn't Ferguson's team also full of confidence and determined to win the league title? But what about now? How much confidence and chance do they have?

After all, Manchester United was driven crazy by Southampton this season!

Damn it, this team has been on a winning streak since February, forcing Manchester United into a desperate situation with one victory after another, making the Red Devils almost collapse.

If Southampton hadn't emerged this season, Manchester United would have won the championship long ago!

Thinking of this, Ralph Topping's smile disappeared, replaced by deep worry.

William Hill not only took over the huge bet made by Yang Huan before the season, but also accepted the risk transfer bets from two other bookmakers. If Southampton wins the championship, William Hill will suffer a huge loss!

For the wealthy William Hill, bankruptcy is not inevitable, but heavy losses are certain.

"By the way, what did Chairman Davis say?" Ralph Toppin asked with concern.

The investment manager nodded solemnly, "Chairman Davis said that he would also be there to watch the game in person."

This is a gain or loss of several hundred million pounds, who dares not take it seriously?

If Southampton really wins the championship, it will be the most painful Waterloo in William Hill's history.

Ralph Topping's heart was in his throat and he was completely panicked.

If Southampton really wins the championship, then as the CEO, he may have no choice but to resign.

"Master Huan!"

In the Saints Fan Club's exclusive lounge area in the Chairman's Stand at St. Mary's Stadium, Hamad and others greeted Yang Huan with a smile.

When they saw Zhuang Ziqing standing next to Yang Huan, they immediately shouted with a grin, "Sister-in-law!"

Compared with the image of the Middle Eastern prince who was a wretched young man when Yang Huan first met him, Hamad has undergone a tremendous change now. At least his dress and appearance are more tasteful and fashionable.

Moreover, he is no longer the guy whose legs would go weak when he saw a beautiful woman.

It is said that he is now a well-known playboy in London. He has probably learned bad things from people like Hugh Grosvenor and John Cocke.

"Why did you arrive just now?" Yang Huan asked with some complaint.

The Saints Fan Club is the host of Southampton. At such a critical moment, we have to arrive early!

Hugh Grosvenor immediately laughed, "Master Huan, we accompanied Hamad to Longhai, China!"

"Oh!" Yang Huan understood immediately.

Qatar is going to host an international yacht fair, so it has previously asked Hamad to ask Sunseeker Yachts to help build the world's largest and most luxurious top-level yacht. Sea trials have now begun and the handover is expected to be completed soon.

"See? Are you satisfied?"

One only needs to look at Hamad's face and even a blind man can see how satisfied he is.

"Master Huan, the shipbuilding technology of your Shengxi Yacht is really amazing. The design and everything else are just like this!" Hamad gave a thumbs up, obviously very satisfied.

Are you kidding? That was the biggest project of Sunseeker Yacht since it was acquired by Yang Huan. A lot of effort was put into the design of the hull, and the interior design was personally designed by the master Norman Foster. The materials used had to be not only right, but also expensive!

As for helicopters, sea motorcycles, radars, anti-missiles and a host of other high-tech equipment, there is everything you need.

So, that yacht looks as luxurious as it can be!

What is not well known is that many of these products, including helicopters, radars and anti-missiles, use the UK's most advanced military technology, products and equipment, which were originally supposed to be restricted by the EU arms sales ban, but eventually entered China through various means.

And it's quite legitimate!

Yang Huan also found Hamad's expression funny, "As long as you are satisfied!"

But Hamad shook his head and smiled, "Master Huan, this time we have decided to purchase a batch of Aston Martin and Lagonda cars, as well as two yacht orders. Please arrange for someone to go to Qatar to discuss this."

Yang Huan raised his eyebrows, business is coming!

Speaking of Hamad, he is a really nice person. Not only is he very rich, but more importantly, he is knowledgeable and interesting.

"My father asked me to invite you. If you have time, please come to Qatar. We will give you a warm welcome!"

After hearing this, Yang Huan laughed out loud and kept saying yes.

"How about this? After I get married, you can lend me your yacht for my honeymoon, and I can go directly from China to Qatar by sea!"

"Really?" Hamad laughed immediately.

Master Huan, how can you not be happy when you have such an important person whom we cannot even invite?

"Nonsense, don't you welcome it?" Yang Huan scolded with a smile.

"How could that be?" Hamad quickly shook his head. "Master Huan, come to Qatar. I promise you will have a great time."

"In short, everything you eat, drink, live, gamble, and whore in Qatar..."

When he said this, Hamad quickly covered his mouth and looked at Zhuang Ziqing in surprise.

No one present had expected that this guy would actually ask Young Master Huan to go to Qatar for whoring in front of his sister-in-law...

Damn, this is going to be a good show!

Zhuang Ziqing originally felt a little resentful, but being stared at by so many people must be a little awkward, right?

In the end, Master Huan was thick-skinned enough to cough twice.

"Hamad, you are already quite old, so stop saying these irresponsible and frivolous things all the time."

"Am I the kind of person who likes to eat, drink, gamble and have sex everywhere? Do I look like that?"

That look was indescribably great, glorious and righteous!

Well……

Everyone present looked at each other, and each of them wanted to nod and say, "Yes!"

However, under the coercion and inducement of Young Master Huan, everyone tried hard to hold back their laughter and dared not say a word.

Zhuang Ziqing found it funny when he saw them all looking like this. This group of guys together was really something!

But she also knew that her fiancé was like an unrestrained wild horse. Who could control him?

So, in the end, she had no choice but to smile sweetly, give Yang Huan a reproachful look, and then turn around and leave.

But her charming and graceful manner stunned all the men present.

beautiful!

It’s so beautiful, isn’t it?

As soon as Zhuang Ziqing left, more members of the Saints Fan Club arrived one after another.

The one who made the biggest noise was the fat guy Liu Mingwei.

He didn't just come by himself, he also brought more than a hundred Longhai wealthy fans. Each of them is a well-known wealthy person in Longhai City. They came to Southampton specially to support Master Huan and cheer for Southampton!

Fatty Liu now has a big bald head. Relying on the relationship with Young Master Huan, he sells wine and speculates in real estate, making a lot of money. He is very rich and is extremely respectful to Young Master Huan.

"Master Huan, I have already made all the arrangements. I, Fatty Liu, will cover all the expenses for your wedding. I have already found a venue, and I have invited the best wedding planning company in the country to take charge of the planning. I promise to make it a grand and dignified one for you. As for the cost, if you talk to me about it, I will be very anxious!"

Yang Huan found it a little funny when he heard it.

Is there such a good thing these days?

I'm getting married and someone is rushing to pay for it?

But who is Fatty Liu?

There is a person in Longhai City who can cause an earthquake with just a stomp of his feet!

It is actually quite satisfying to be flattered by such a person!

"Hey, Fatty Liu, have you become rich recently?" Yang Huan found it funny.

Unexpectedly, Liu Mingwei looked around, leaned over, and nodded with a flattering smile, "Master Huan, didn't you introduce me to buy the FA Cup and Europa League finals before?"

"Ah!" Yang Huan nodded.

That was just a casual remark, okay?

"I made a total of 100 million in those two games!"

Damn it!

Yang Huan widened his eyes. Isn’t this Fatty Liu betting too big?

Two games, earned 100 million?

Damn it, isn’t that too cruel?

But when he looked at Fatty Liu laughing so hard that his mouth couldn't stop, Yang Huan felt at ease.

Nimei, you have earned so much, it is not too much to give me some as a gift! r1148
