Chapter 969 Support or oppose?

A luxurious top-of-the-line Bentley drove from Southampton's ring road to the Royal Docks.

As we passed the Saints' House, the car window rolled down, revealing several faces of people sitting inside.

The most prominent one is undoubtedly Chelsea's owner, Roman Abramovich.

Next to him was his personal assistant, Marina Granovschia.

At this moment, Granovskia was pointing at the Saints' House at Southampton's headquarters through the rolled-down car window and introduced: "Boss, that's the Saints' House!"

Abramovich looked out of the car window and found that the shape of the headquarters building in Southampton was very unique and novel, very interesting, and it was obvious at first glance that it was the work of a famous artist.

It is said to be the work of Huang Ying, a Chinese designer who has become famous in the field of architectural design in recent years and is recognized as a future master.

Interestingly, this Saint's House, the Underwater Hotel and the Glory Square on the sea surface complement each other and form a triangle. It would be more interesting if viewed from a distance.

"This has now become an iconic business district in South London," Granovskia said with admiration.

When it comes to operational capabilities, Southampton is definitely the best in the Premier League.

Even Manchester United in recent years is not as good as the Saints.

He was able to lead the Saints from a low-level league to their current status in just a few years, and brought about such earth-shaking changes to the city of Southampton. Who would believe that Yang Huan is just a spoiled rich second-generation?

"Humph, it's just that the land is cheap!" Abramovich snorted in dissatisfaction.

That was just the way he was, and Granovskia was used to it.

He disliked anything that belonged to Yang Huan, no matter if it was good or bad.

But there is one thing that must be acknowledged.

That is Chelsea today. Both its attractiveness and appeal are not as good as before.

The team did not perform well last season, but Abramovich gambled on Mourinho. Although the team did not get relegated in the end, it ranked in the middle and lower reaches, which almost destroyed Chelsea's halo as a top club.

It is unacceptable for other top teams to suffer a slump for a season, but Chelsea has been in a slump for two consecutive seasons.

If there is no improvement, the days ahead will probably become increasingly difficult.

Even if they are not careful, the Blues may completely fall out of the top group in the Premier League.

Bentley arrived at the Royal Dock steadily.

There were already uniformed security guards directing the traffic and they stopped their car.

"Hello, we are here to attend the Premier League Chairman's Summit." The driver rolled down the window and said.

"Hello!" The security guard immediately saluted politely, "Please go across and park in the hotel's dedicated parking lot, thank you!"

"Can't we just drive in?" the driver was a little embarrassed.

My boss doesn’t have the habit of walking!

"Sorry, except for the buses of the participating teams on match days, we normally do not allow any vehicles to enter!"

The security guard answered politely but firmly.

"But don't worry, we will have a special shuttle bus."

The driver turned around and glanced at his boss, and after getting a nod of agreement, he parked the car directly into the hotel parking lot.

As soon as they got off the bus, an electric car stopped in front of them.

A waiter in hotel uniform got out of the car, respectfully opened the door for them, and arranged for them to get in the car.

Riding an electric car is different from riding a car. They are two completely different experiences.

The electric cars equipped in the underwater hotel are made in China. They start quickly and are very powerful. Sitting on them, you will feel a push on your back, which is very comfortable.

More importantly, this is obviously a sightseeing car. Not to mention the good lighting, the line of sight is also very wide. Along the way, you can enjoy everything in the Underwater Hotel and Glory Plaza without blind spots.

Even though Abramovich was Yang Huan's mortal enemy, at this moment, he couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

This place really does look like a paradise on earth!

Even though electric cars run on electricity, they are actually very fast and stable. If you enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, you will reach your destination in a matter of seconds.

"Hello, welcome to the underwater hotel, Mr. Abramovich!"

As soon as Abramovich got out of the car, the hotel lobby manager came to greet him.

"Do you know me?" Abramovich was a little surprised.

This is his first time at the underwater hotel, how could anyone know him?

Or is it that I am too famous and they saw it in the newspaper?

That's not right!

Abramovich took another look and felt that the lobby manager looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but if he was asked to think deeply, he could not remember.

"I used to work at the Landmark Hotel!" the lobby manager laughed.

"Oh! It's you!" Abramovich suddenly realized.

Isn’t it?

I used to go to the Landmark Hotel often, no wonder I felt this guy looked familiar.

But when did he come to the underwater hotel in Southampton?

Oh my god, isn’t this guy Yang Huan too outrageous?

You poached their chef and ruined their most famous signature afternoon tea.

Well, the result is that you even poached their lobby manager.

Are you going to give them a chance to live?

Abramovich had no doubt that the owner of the Landmark Hotel must be eager to eat Yang Huan's flesh, drink his blood, and curse him to death.

"The facts prove that Yang Huan got his start by poaching people. There's no doubt about that!"

As Abramovich walked into the lobby, he secretly turned his head and spoke angrily to Granovskia.

The latter almost burst out laughing and quickly turned his head away with an excuse.

However, it seems to be true.

It is said that the requirements for employees of this underwater hotel are quite high. Each of them is an outstanding talent in the position, and was poached by Yang Huan from other famous hotels.

So, what the boss said is really right!

"Is everyone here?" Abramovich asked.

"Well, everyone is here." said the lobby manager politely.

After the group walked into the lobby, the manager pressed the elevator for them and watched them go down.

Standing in the elevator, I didn't feel anything at first.

But as the elevator descended, the surrounding scenery gradually changed.

"Wow, it really is the bottom of the sea!"

Even someone as knowledgeable as Abramovich couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when he saw the unobstructed view of the underwater scenery outside through the glass curtain wall of the elevator.

As the elevator descended deeper and deeper, the scenery they saw became more and more beautiful.

Especially when they were on a high place, overlooking the brightly lit hotel buildings deep under the sea, the magnificent feeling almost made the Russians drop their jaws.

Oh my God, this is simply amazing!

"Only Yang Huan and the Chinese people's infrastructure capabilities can make all this possible!"

At this moment, Abramovich had to nod in appreciation.

"Isn't it?" Granovskia exclaimed. "I heard that Yang Huan is planning to build two more hotel chains in China. This guy's business is getting bigger and bigger, and his calculations are getting more and more sophisticated."

Abramovich also sighed deeply. On this point, he really had no choice but to admit defeat.

Both of them came to the UK from abroad, but Yang Huan came to make a lot of money, while Abramovich came to spend money.

Over the past few years, Yang Huan has been making more and more money in the UK, making him a world-famous tycoon, while Abramovich feels like he is living off his capital.

Especially in recent years, the economy has been in a downturn and Russia is facing economic sanctions from European and American countries. Its wealth has shrunk more and more seriously. So, in this regard, it is really helpless.

What made him even more depressed was that on the football field, his Chelsea also lost to Southampton.

When you are in a depressed mood, you cannot appreciate any beautiful scenery.

With the ding of the elevator, the elevator door opened and a waiter was waiting outside, who took them all the way to the conference room.

The Premier League Chairman's Summit has always been held at the Landmark Hotel, which has become a major tradition of the Premier League.

But now, the business of the Landmark Hotel is getting worse and worse, so Yang Huan and others proposed that the Undersea Hotel in Southampton should be the host instead, and promised to give preferential treatment.

So, the Premier League agreed.

The Premier League bosses will not bother with Yang Huan over such trivial matters.

But what happens next may not be certain.

As soon as Abramovich entered the room, he saw that almost everyone was in the conference room.

This conference hall is circular in shape, and except for the section close to the corridor, all other sections offer a perfect view of the beautiful underwater scenery.

Moreover, it is not known whether they survive here naturally or are deliberately released by the hotel. Looking through the curtain wall, you can see many large, colorful fish of various kinds swimming around the conference hall.

There are also corals, seaweeds, and various shellfish, which are simply magnificent.

So, the moment Abramovich walked in, most people in the conference hall were standing by the windows, looking at the underwater world outside through the curtain wall, obviously amazed at the ingenuity of the workmanship here.

"Hello, Roman, welcome to the underwater hotel!"

As soon as Yang Huan saw Abramovich come in, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

This guy is usually the last one to arrive, but today he arrived early.

But it's no wonder. He is the host today, and it would be unacceptable if he was late again.

"Hello, Master Huan!" Abramovich also forced a smile, "Your place is really quite luxurious, it makes people linger!"

“Haha, Roman, if you like, you can stay here. I’ll treat you to food, drinks, and entertainment.”

Master Huan said this generously.

"Is that true? Then I really won't be polite."

"Haha, if you're polite to me, I'll get angry instead!"

Abramovich laughed again and said nothing more, because he knew that Yang Huan must have something else to say.

Sure enough, after the two chatted for a while, Yang Huan laughed and asked, "Roman, what do you think about today's topic?"

"What do you think?" Abramovich asked in a dumbfounded manner.

Yang Huan didn't care either, "Let's be frank, this is good for both you and me."

Abramovich curled his lips, shook his head and laughed, "Master Huan, you haven't forgotten, have you? We ranked 14th last season, a mid-to-lower-level team!"

"Come on!" Yang Huan waved his hand. "Everyone knows that it's only temporary. Adjust it and invest some money to operate it. You Chelsea will still be a top team."

That's how professional leagues work, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps.

Chelsea may not be able to buy top players now, but it can still dig out players from mid- and lower-level teams.

The slump in the last two seasons is more like a kind of labor pain, and I will be relieved once I get through it.

"Honestly, Roman!" Yang Huan stared at Abramovich and said word by word, "You must have thought about this matter in the past few years. Now the opportunity has come. If you miss it, I'm afraid there will never be a next time in the future."

Abramovich understood what Yang Huan meant.

As the saying goes, opportunity once lost will never come back!

"Now is not the time to be angry, Roman!" Yang Huan said in a warning, even teaching tone.

"We are now talking about vital interests. You must clearly state your position. Are you in support or against?"
