The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 364: Ye Qiu Comes to the Door!
Robert Milson used to be a very experienced reporter. He graduated from the Goldsmiths College of the University of London with a master's degree in journalism. He works for an authoritative major newspaper, and the highest position is the deputy editor-in-chief.

Friends often ridicule him for his rich work experience, saying that his biggest regret is that he failed to delete the third page of girls in the Sun newspaper, which is a dream job for all British men. Experience, but the Times also belongs to the News Corporation behind the Sun.

A few years ago, Robert Milson, who had worked in newspapers for more than ten years, decided to leave the newspaper industry. He began to work as a public relations consultant for some large companies, and was responsible for contacting the media, and because he had a very extensive network of contacts in this area relationship, and myself as a very senior reporter, so I did a good job in this job and gradually gained fame.

And as we all know, he has always been a Tottenham Hotspur fan.

For the first 35 years of his life, he watched almost every Tottenham game, every game, because his parents took him to White Hart from the time he was a baby in their arms. Every Sunday, Tottenham Hotspur football matches accompany him to spend.

It contained a lot of bitterness and tears, but also brought a lot of happiness and joy, which he will never forget.

But after he decided to quit his job as a reporter and a newspaper, he chose to go south and sold his house in Tottenham. He spent all his savings and bought a two-storey apartment facing the street in Shoreditch , it is close to London City University, University of the Arts and Cass Business School, and the security is much better than in the north.

He and his wife have a child, and he chose to leave Tottenham for the sake of the child, because he was concerned about the deteriorating security there, especially with more and more immigrants pouring into the area, even if he is not A racist, but everyone has to admit that with more immigrants, law and order and the environment have become worse.

Shoreditch is not far from the financial district. Quite a few large companies choose to arrange their offices here. Robert Milson’s company office is nearby. It is very convenient to commute to and from get off work, and the security is also very good. Worry.

Every morning, he would walk to work, pass the newsstand, and pick up two or three newspapers at random.

Regardless of the popularity of football in the UK, the fans here are very fanatical, but in fact, there are no professional football newspapers in this country. All newspapers, whether it is the Times, Guardian, Daily Telegraph, etc., are comprehensive newspapers.

But don't think that the British don't read sports newspapers because of this. On the contrary, there are no professional football newspapers, but all comprehensive newspapers regard football as a very important section, especially in recent years. The Premier League is becoming more and more popular, and there are more and more layouts.

Of the 24 pages of The Times, 36 pages are dedicated to football, the Guardian has 28 pages, and the original Sun has [-] pages that introduce sports and football, but they have created a [-]-page football sub-page. pinch.

British newspapers are very targeted, such as the serious and conservative Daily Telegraph, the hippie-smiling Guardian, the Daily Mail of the Friends of Middle-aged Women, and the Sun, which is famous for its three-page girl. The subway newspaper presented by the station, but no matter what the newspaper is, football occupies a very large space.

Because of this, Robert Milson thought more than once that football has such a great influence, but in fact, all clubs still seem to be very unprofessional when dealing with newspapers, and they often hire a press officer with sufficient connections , is responsible for helping the club deal with some things, such as scandals such as players visiting nightclubs.

He once submitted a written proposal to the management of Tottenham Hotspur. He felt that if the football club can form enough benign interactions and exchanges with these newspapers, not only in the UK, but even in the world, The influence of football clubs will be raised to a higher level and level than it is now.

In the final analysis, the value of football clubs is still too low. Compared with football as the world's number one sport, it is far from matching. There is still considerable potential to be tapped. In the modern business field, influence and attention are everything .

The sponsorship fees of Manchester United and Arsenal are so high not only because of their good performance, but also because of their influence and attention. Without these two things, no matter how good their performance is, the sponsorship fees cannot be so high.

In fact, there are many teams that don't pay much attention to these.

It's like Everton, which reached the top four in the league last season. This should have been a godsend opportunity to break the monopoly of the top four in the Premier League and get in. This is a breakthrough in itself, a very gimmick, It is entirely possible to operate the opportunity to greatly improve Everton's influence, but they just let it go.

In the final analysis, it is still a word, too unprofessional!

Every time he sees football news in the newspaper, Robert Milson will lament the profligacy and waste of these football clubs, because there are countless companies outside who are eager to wait for such an opportunity, because they know very well that just one time can make the company reborn , But these football clubs were wasted again and again.

While reading the newspaper, while walking on the way to work, Robert Milson found that there were more and more news about Tottenham Hotspur in the newspaper recently, especially when the new chairman Ye Qiu held a meeting After the huge press conference, it brought a huge response to all the fans.

It was definitely a very shrewd hype. Taking advantage of the gap between the World Cup matches, Tottenham Hotspur became the focus of the world's attention. Robert Milson felt that Ye Qiu must have a group of people behind him to advise him.

In the few days after the press conference, Tottenham Hotspur continued to sign up and announced on the official website one after another.

150 million euros introduced Peruvian left-back Juan Manuel Vargas from Argentina's Santa Fe Colón.

250 million euros introduced the Norwegian central defender Brad Hangeland from Copenhagen, Denmark.

700 million euros from the Russian Super League Zenit team to introduce midfielder Andrei Arshavin.

What Robert Milson saw happened to be announced yesterday, the news of the introduction of Andre Arshavin, and then he contacted the introduction of Alves, the best player in the UEFA Cup from Sevilla. He felt that Tottenham The overall structure of Tottenham has been formed, but the goalkeeper did not make any signings after letting go of Paul Robinson. Could it be that he wants to reuse Joe Hart?

"Too young?" Robert Milson shook his head and muttered to himself.

Another hidden danger is the central defender. Earlier, the media in Turin, Italy broke the news that Ye Qiu participated in the transfer competition between Thuram and Zambrotta, but in the end both players switched to Barcelona because Tottenham Tottenham are obviously not in their eyes, they just want to go to the best giants.

Because of this, Robert Milson had a premonition that Hangeland and Vargas were Ye Qiu's last choice after missing out on Thuram and Zambrotta. Tottenham Hotspur have shown strength in the new season and guaranteed the team's defense. This is the biggest suspense of Tottenham Hotspur this season.

If you simply look at the cards, although Tottenham Hotspur have been turbulent this season, the average age of the team has dropped, and there are more young players including Cesc Fabregas and Messi, plus Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ribe With powerful stars such as Li, Mascherano and Thiago Silva, Tottenham Hotspur's strength will at least not be weaker than last season.

Robert Milson's feelings also represent the impressions of quite a few professional reporters and fans. After all, they are not Ye Qiu, and it is impossible to know what is behind these names and what their future will be like. They are just a group of people who have not yet Completely proving yourself, not yet a fully fledged player.

Milson also calculated that Tottenham Hotspur have spent more than 8000 million euros on signings this season, which does not include Ruud van Nistelrooy, Carroll, Van Persie, Messi, Fabregas and Ribery's six exchanged players, if you count them, Tottenham Hotspur's cost exceeds [-] million.

The four players Thiago Silva, Mascherano, Yaya Toure and Marcelo alone cost 4000 million euros.

However, Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer income is also quite a lot. It was previously reported that Tottenham Hotspur’s income from selling players is nearly [-] million. Now Lennon is very close to Chelsea. Mourinho’s agent Ren Mendes said that he would get Lennon as soon as possible, and Manchester United is also very interested in this young player who performed well in the World Cup, and the transfer fee will not be too low.

In addition, the Premier League has always been relatively expensive for local players, so Alan Lennon's transfer fee is at least more than 2000 million.

"It's really shrewd to say it's shrewd!" Robert Milson made such a calculation in his mind, and really found that Ye Qiu's transfer was really shrewd.

If he knew that the total transfer fee of the four Ajax players was only 1000 million euros, I believe he would be so scared that his mouth would drop, because it almost represented that Tottenham Hotspur made a net profit of nearly 6000 million euros in the transfer market. More than [-] million euros.

And Ye Qiu planned to invest this sum of money in the preparation of the training base.

Just when Robert Milson folded up the newspaper, he was in a good mood because he saw the transfer news of Tottenham Hotspur, and he walked forward quickly with a smile. At this time, Zeus in his suit pocket The phone rang.

Seeing an unfamiliar caller ID number, Robert Milson was a little surprised, but he still answered, "Hello, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Robert Milson?" asked the man on the phone.

"Yes, who are you?"

"I'm Ye Qiu, chairman of Tottenham Hotspur!" The person on the phone introduced himself, "I don't know if you have time, I hope to talk to you as soon as possible, because I read the information you submitted to Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham Hotspur's proposal, I am very interested in it, I wonder if you are interested in coming to Tottenham Hotspur as the head of the news department?"

Robert Milson on the phone was stunned!

He never expected that Ye Qiu would come to his door!

After Robert Milson in Shoreditch, London was stunned for more than an hour, Pini Zahavi, who was also in London but in Kensington, was also stunned, because how could he not He never expected that the transfer that he thought was a certainty and a sure thing to win would turn out to be an accident.

And the reason for this accident was the same as that of Robert Milson in London, Ye Qiu came to find him!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Pini Zahavi, I am very grateful to Chelsea for the kind invitation to me, but you know, Tottenham Hotspur also made an offer for Rennes, and the club agreed to this offer, and Ye Mr. Qiu flew from London to the Czech Republic in person yesterday in his busy schedule, I was persuaded by him, and I have agreed to accept the invitation from Tottenham Hotspur!"

"I feel very sorry for not being able to join Chelsea, because you are a very good and strong team, but I am really sorry, I have no way to refuse the invitation from Mr. Ye Qiu, I hope to play under his command! "

Just now, Rennes goalkeeper Peter Cech, who was still on vacation in the Czech Republic, called Pini Zahavi. On the phone, Peter Cech regretfully told Pini Zahavi that News, because he will fly to London today, sign a contract with Tottenham Hotspur, and then participate in the team's training camp tomorrow.

In fact, Ye Qiu didn't say anything to Peter Cech in the Czech Republic yesterday. He just talked about the encounter in Portugal two years ago. An excellent goalkeeper, he has the opportunity to play for the top leagues and teams in Europe.

Speaking of the encouragement Ye Qiu gave him two years ago, Peter Cech always felt warm in his heart. Even though he performed very well in the past two years, he never had the opportunity to join the top European leagues, but he He wasn't discouraged at all, because Ye Qiu's eyes had always been very vicious, and he would definitely do what he said.

But what Ye Qiu really sent out this time was just one sentence, "Come to Tottenham Hotspur, make progress with our young team, and become the best team and goalkeeper in the world together!"

With this sentence, Petr Cech nodded without hesitation and agreed to go to White Hart Lane.

Pini Zahavi naturally didn't know what happened in the Czech Republic yesterday. He didn't know either. It turned out that Tottenham Hotspur also secretly made an offer to Petr Cech. There is such an intersection with Peter Cech.

When he thought he had brought the Czech goalkeeper under his command, the reality made a big joke with him.

But just when he was thinking about how to explain this matter, he suddenly realized another big problem.

"Hello, Jorge, me, Pini!" He immediately called Jorge Mendes, "I want to ask, how is Van der Sar's transfer to Manchester United going?"

"It's almost there!" Mendes on the phone said with a smile, "What? Did Ye Qiu look for you?"

Pini Zahavi became angry when he heard the name, "What the hell, he dug Peter Cech!"

"What?" Mendes felt he didn't hear clearly, "Speak slowly!"

"I said, his goal is not Van der Sar, but Rennes goalkeeper Peter Cech!"

Mendes on the phone was also stunned, "Then Peter Cech agreed?"

"What do you think?" Pini Zahavi also said in a bad tone, "We should keep Van der Sar now!"

"It's too late, the players have already decided to leave!" Mendes shook his head. This move really surprised them, because Peter Cech didn't come, but Van der Sar wanted to leave. Isn't this an own goal? ?

"Then we should find another goalkeeper as soon as possible!" Pini Zahavi even started to search in his mind.

Because of his private contact with Arneson and Ledley King, the evidence was seized by Tottenham Hotspur. Pini Zahavi's influence in Abramovich's heart has declined a lot, especially in Ye After Qiu left, his influence on Chelsea has become greater than before, and he can even affect the transfer operation, which makes Abramovich feel afraid.

If news of Petr Cech's failed transfer reaches Abramovich's ears, it will be even more difficult for his good friend to join Chelsea in the future.

"Top goalkeepers are hard to find. Leaving aside the problematic goalkeepers of many wealthy teams, even goalkeepers who have proven themselves are unwilling to move easily, even Liverpool's Reina and other goalkeepers who are unstable. If you really want to poach corners, the price will not be low, and it may even be ridiculously high!"

The most feared thing in the transfer operation is this kind of forced poaching, because the other party who is forcibly poached does not sell, which has a very good bargaining advantage, and the party that forcibly poachs has no choice but to adopt money tactics and spend money like crazy.

Therefore, in the transfer market, buyers often make bids, and even if the sellers are willing to sell in their hearts, they will still pretend to be not for sale. Do not buy pull down.

"I think Hilario is worth reusing. He performed well in Portugal, and 30 years old is undoubtedly the golden age for a goalkeeper!" Mendes recommended his players with a smile.

Without waiting for Pini Zahavi to say anything, he smiled, "I'd better talk to Jose!" and hung up the phone after speaking.

Pini Zahavi stared blankly at the phone. He felt that he seemed to have been making mistakes recently.

Ever since the negotiation with Ye Qiu, he felt that his status in Abramovich's heart became lower and lower, and he became less and less confident, but the more anxious he was to make a contribution, the more likely he was to make mistakes. Opportunities to be taken advantage of by competitors.

Now he feels that he is in a mess, and he feels that it is necessary to think about it carefully and sort out the situation and environment he is facing now. He even feels that maybe his most threatening opponent is not Ye Qiu. , but it should be the group of Portuguese.

At the very least, Mourinho's desire for power is not inferior to Ye Qiu's at all, and Mendes is even more greedy than Eliza Moon. This combination is the next biggest threat to him.
