Chapter 854 Buy a superstar to sit on the bench
"Master Huan, tell me, there is a big deal you want to discuss with me, what kind of care is there?"

Diagonally opposite the Bernabéu stadium, in the VIP box of the Bernabeu Holiday Hotel in the southwest, Yang Huan, Peter Kenyon, Soriano and others accepted the banquet from Florentino.

After drinking and eating, the Real Madrid chairman couldn't help asking.

This young master Huan took the initiative to call him, saying that he wanted to discuss a big deal, that was the first time in history, could he not be tempted?

"Hehe, the big deal I'm talking about, I actually want to ask you, when will the renovation project of your Bernabéu Stadium start? The architectural design company under my hand has been idle recently, so I want to ask you for a job to start it!"

Young Master Huan said cheerfully.

Florentino laughed straight away, "Master Huan, aren't you playing with me?"

The European real estate tycoon shook his head and sighed, "Right now, the construction industry around the world is in a downturn, but who doesn't know that you, Foster + Partners, are the only ones who are soft on the job, and you don't care about big projects, will you be so idle?"

Previously, Florentino's company had a big project on hand and hoped to cooperate with Foster + Partners. As a result, they approached the door, but were rejected. Norman Foster said directly, or wait in line, but work will not start until next year. If you can't wait, then go out and turn left to find someone else.

In the end, it was Florentino who found Master Huan, and it was Master Huan who came forward, and finally let Foster + Partners take over.

Just looking at how busy Foster + Partners is, who would believe what Master Huan said?

As a giant in the construction industry, Florentino knew in his heart that after Foster + Partners was acquired by Mr. Huan, through Mr. Huan's relationship, it became very popular in Asia and the Middle East, and no one could match it.

Especially the newly promoted Chinese designer, whose architectural style is very novel and unique, full of oriental charm, very pleasing.

It is said that in the Asian region, quite a few clients have directly named Huang Ying to be responsible for the design.

However, after Yang Huan said this, Florentino also climbed up the pole.

"Master Huan, if you don't say it, I haven't thought of it yet. As soon as I said it, I remembered it. I really need your help."

"Oh? Really? What's the matter?" Young Master Huan looked lively and enthusiastic.

Florentino nodded, "I've been talking to the board of directors about the Bernabéu stadium renovation plan you mentioned just now, but you also know that the conflicts of interests involved here are very complicated and troublesome, so ah, the final result of our negotiation is to make a plan first."

When Yang Huan heard this, he immediately understood, "You mean, let someone design it first?"

"Yes, and I hope Huang Ying will be in charge."

It is also convenient for Real Madrid to hype the Chinese market by the Chinese designer.

Yang Huan frowned when he heard this, "This matter is not easy to handle."

"why?"

"Huang Ying has a lot of projects on hand now. The Qatar World Cup stadium has several big projects in Asia, especially the projects in China are very important, so she has been in Asia recently."

Speaking of which, Young Master Huan is also very helpless. If he wants to meet Huang Ying now, he has to go to the Middle East or China.

To some extent, Huang Ying is now more sought-after than Norman Foster.

"However, if you think it's okay, I can ask Norman, he should be able to have time."

Florentino thought for a while, it's fine if there are no fish and shrimp, Norman Foster is Norman Foster.

"Then please trouble Master Huan!"

"Haha, why are you being polite to me?" Yang Huan waved his hand with a smile.

After a pause, Yang Huan suppressed his smile, "By the way, Florentino, I recently heard some rumors about you Real Madrid, and I want to ask you for confirmation."

"Oh, what news?" Florentino asked strangely.

"I heard that you are considering offers from the outside world for Cristiano Ronaldo. Is it true?" Yang Huan stared at Florentino, wanting to see his every move, even the flicker of his eyes.

After hearing this, the Spanish real estate tycoon chuckled, "Master Huan, Mendes should recommend this to you, right?"

Yang Huan was noncommittal and did not answer directly.

After Di Maria switched to Southampton, the contacts between Mendes and the Saints became much more diligent.

The Portuguese are very business-minded and are also interested in cooperation with Yang Huan, so they are doing their best to satisfy Yang Huan, a big client.

For example, this summer, he brought several outstanding young players to the Miracle Football Group.

Yang Huan's principle of doing things is that as long as you know how to do things, do good things, and don't violate my rules, I can cooperate with you.

Of course, like Gareth Bale's agent, that is an exception.

That was purely a sacrifice for Master Huan to make an example to others!

Who made them unlucky enough to bump into Master Huan's muzzle?

Seeing that Master Huan did not speak, Florentino also thought about it and sighed.

"Master Huan, we are our own people. Mingren don't speak dark words. Let me tell you the truth. We do have this consideration, but you should also know that Cristiano Ronaldo is very important to us. We dare not make a decision lightly. So, until now, I have no way to make a decision on this matter."

Yang Huan fully understands the importance of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.

This is mainly reflected in the level of commercial value.

Just kidding, as one of the two best superstars in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo's commercial value exceeds Messi's. Without him, Real Madrid's commercial value is bound to suffer.

Before he was fully prepared, how dare Florentino move around?

This is a bit like Microsoft. The WINDOWS operating system is their most important pillar. May I ask, does Microsoft dare to reform this pillar easily?Or, straight to the OS for free?
So, sometimes, it's easy to say, but hard to do.

"Gareth Bell's progress is not as expected?" Yang Huan asked.

Florentino nodded. Originally, he introduced Gareth Bale in the hope that the Welshman could replace Cristiano Ronaldo. But judging from the current situation, it may be possible on the court, but in terms of commercial value, the two are not at the same level at all.

"After he joined Real Madrid from Southampton, the commercial value stagnated and his agent..."

As long as he thought of Gareth Bale's agent, Florentino felt indignant and helpless.

He has met so many agents, this group of guys is the most difficult and greedy.

At the beginning, Real Madrid introduced Gareth Bale and Barcelona introduced Neymar. The purpose of the two teams was to take over the core of the team, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

But now, Barcelona's Neymar is getting better and better, but Real Madrid's Gareth Bale is still unsatisfactory. This is true in business, and even more so on the court.

Even now, some people are beginning to reflect on whether Gareth Bale is suitable for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid did not start this season well. The first two rounds of the league had one win and one loss. In the second round, they even lost [-]-[-] to Real Sociedad in an away game. This made Real Madrid feel the pressure and was blamed by the media.

Not to mention the head coach Ancelotti, even Florentino was under pressure.

"Master Huan, to be honest, Cristiano Ronaldo is going to be [-] soon, and people from the technical team have been reminding me of this, and he himself often said that he would leave Real Madrid, so if you say that you have no intention of letting him go, you are definitely lying."

But at this point, Florentino changed the subject.

"However, you also know that the most important thing for our team now is to ensure financial income. Cristiano Ronaldo is the most commercial star in our team, so we have to be cautious."

Yang Huan understood, "Then what do you mean..."

"We need some time, or..."

Having said that, Florentino looked at Master Huan with malicious intent.

Yang Huan's heart skipped a beat, Nimi, am I here to poach you, okay?
I didn't take the initiative to send it to your door for you to dig!
If you dare to use your treacherous, salivating eyes to dangle on this young master, believe it or not, I will...

Florentino laughed sarcastically.

Now the players with the most commercial value in Europe and the players who fit Real Madrid's positioning are basically in Southampton, that is Suarez and Hazard.

No matter which of these two players are, after joining Real Madrid, they can replace the role and status of Cristiano Ronaldo, and although their commercial value is not as good as Cristiano Ronaldo, they are not far behind.

The current commercial value of these two superstars even exceeds that of Gareth Bale.

You know, Southampton's ability to operate in the commercial field is no joke.

Yang Huan didn't dare to say anything more, so he quickly said, "Forget it, you guys take your time, anyway, just don't use my crooked brain. As for the players, if at any time, Real Madrid wants to let Cristiano Ronaldo go, remember to notify me in advance, and the transfer fee will definitely not be lost to you."

Florentino smiled wryly. Why is this rhetoric so similar to what he said when he wanted to poach a corner in Southampton?

It's really a turn of events.

In the past, he went to poach Southampton's players by himself, but now it's the other way around, and it's Master Huan who comes to poach his own players.

Not right.

"Master Huan, why do you suddenly want to play the superstar card?" Florentino asked with a strange expression.

Not that he doubted Southampton's financial resources.

Just kidding, you can count on five fingers the teams that can afford Cristiano Ronaldo right now, and Southampton is definitely one of them.

It's just that Florentino is curious, how did Southampton change its business strategy?
You know, whether it is from the perspective of competitive value or commercial value, there is no need for Southampton to introduce Cristiano Ronaldo, right?

Because this team itself has a group of very outstanding young talents!
Master Huan chuckled and cut out, "Isn't he just a Cristiano Ronaldo? What's so strange? We in Southampton recently lost a water dispenser guard, and we are planning to buy him here. He will sit on the bench and guard the water dispenser as a professional!"

Florentino's face was full of sweat when he heard it, he was funny and angry.

Of course he knew that Master Huan was joking, so what did he say too much?

Could it be that if you have money, you can be willful?
"Then you should go to Barcelona to buy Messi, that kid is more suitable for guarding the drinking fountain."

"Hey, what do you need to say?" Young Master Huan snorted and sneered, "I've already planned it. Cristiano Ronaldo sits on the left, Messi sits on the right, and the drinking fountain is in the middle. Our Saints' bench is strong enough, right?"

"Uh……"

Florentino was completely speechless.

He really wanted to say, I really kneel down to you, Master Huan!
