Chapter 9 The Security Guard Will Take You Out

When the last game of the season ended, Union Berlin won No.2 of the third division and directly promoted to the second division. The entire East Berlin area fell into celebration. This legendary team was promoted to the second division for the first time since the merger of the two Germans!

Even though Hoffman Estates was outside, Edward could hear the fans cheering.

"I didn't expect Union Berlin to have so many supporters."

Edward poured himself a glass of whiskey and said.

"It's much less now. Union used to have a lot of supporters throughout East Germany."

The old butler said.

Edward put the wine glass aside and looked at himself in the mirror: "Isn't it too cruel to dismiss them at this time, Uncle Philip?"

"Master Edward, the Hoffman family only needs obedient people, and their fate has been doomed since they rejected you."

When the old butler followed Thomas Hoffman, he saw Thomas Hoffman's cold-blooded side countless times. This is the quality that a successful businessman should have. The generous treatment for employees can only show that Hoffman has a kind heart. But he never showed mercy to his disobedient subordinates, and Philip thought there was nothing wrong with Edward doing so.

Edward sighed: "Forget it, let them be happy for another day, you can't spoil their good mood on the day of the upgrade."

"You are very kind."

The old housekeeper complimented.

Later, Edward had a good dinner and washed up early in preparation for the scene to come.

"I'm really looking forward to it..."

----------

Early the next morning, Edward got up early.

The housekeeper Philip specially helped him choose a handmade suit.

The suit is hand-stitched by Ed and Ravenscroft, London's oldest tailors.

Although it is an old model left by Thomas Hoffman, it is a classic.

Even though many young people have abandoned this style of dressing, the old-school English butler still believes that only handmade suits can make people feel the connotation.

Ed and Ravenscroft's orders have always been queued for a long time, and their customers include the British royal family and many Hollywood stars.

It takes at least twelve weeks for a handmade suit, so before Edward finds time to customize, he can only wear the suit left by his grandfather Thomas. Fortunately, the grandparent and grandson are about the same size.

Edward tidied up in front of the mirror, it was indeed classic.

There is no shortage of gentlemen's three-piece vests, square scarves and top hats.

The surface of the navy blue is decorated with dark red stripes. Every horizontal and vertical stripes are aligned, including the ones under the pockets. The slightly flawed hand-made keyholes are not as smooth as those made by machines, but this "artificial "Beauty with flaws" is the hallmark of top-level suits. The dark horn buttons with mother-of-pearl are neatly arranged, and every detail is perfect.

"It's really a luxurious experience!"

Edward felt that he, the successor of socialism, would soon fall, and it was the first time he wore a suit worth tens of thousands of euros. In RMB, he already had a small hundred thousand. This feeling of wearing money on his body was great.

After straightening his tie, Edward was ready to go out.

"Wait a moment, Master Edward."

The old butler took out a pair of white cufflinks and helped him put them on before nodding in satisfaction.

On the way to the club, Edward could see the huge diamonds on the cufflinks as soon as he raised his hand, and once again felt that it is good to be rich.

Seeing Edward again, Karl Muller felt very strange, but immediately put on a smiling face: "It's a pleasure to see you again, Edward."

"Nice to meet you Carl, too."

Edward smiled and pulled a chair and sat down.

"Are you here today to congratulate us on our upgrade?"

Karl Muller tentatively asked, he was full of vigilance against Edward, and he knew that this kid would not give up since he met Edward last time, who would give up the inheritance rights of 300 billion euros among normal people?
It's just that he didn't know what kind of means Edward would use. He had been waiting for Edward to make a move, but he still came.

Seeing Karl Muller's expression, Edward was not in a hurry.

Wouldn't it be a lot of fun to knock down your opponent all at once?
Edward was still worried about being rejected last time, and now that he has the chance to win, he doesn't mind playing with Karl Muller for a while.

"Yes, I am very happy about the team's promotion, so I want to inject money into the team to buy some players, and try to make the team continue to upgrade next season."

Edward fiddled with his fingers and said.

Karl Muller frowned. He had already rejected Edward's capital injection proposal last time. Why is he here again?
Is this kid thinking that the management will change his mind after a period of time, that is really naive: "Edward, everything is going well with the club now, and there is no need for capital injection. We have enough funds to cope with the second division."

"Karl, dear Karl!"

Edward tapped the table with his fingers: "You may not have figured out the current situation. I have won the support of many fans, so my voting rights exceed 50.00%. Now I am not asking for your opinion, just telling Something about to happen to you."

"impossible!"

Karl Müller blurted out.

Union Berlin fans are notoriously difficult to deal with, especially after Edward's two uncles almost killed the team, they were very disgusted with the Hoffman family's involvement in the team.

It's very interesting to say that while they work for the Hoffman family, they get a good salary and are very grateful to the Hoffman family. On the one hand, they don't want the Hoffman family to take over the team again.

These two aspects are not contradictory. A good boss may not necessarily be a good club chairman. Union Berlin is an inseparable part of their lives and even their lives. No matter how good the boss is, they don’t want their lives to be messed up. In the final analysis, it is still the fault of Edward's two incompetent uncles.

Edward directly took out his mobile phone and dialed it to turn on the speaker.

"Hey, who is it?"

Matt Goetzt's voice came through the microphone.

"I'm Edward, I'm on the team now, can you express your attitude?"

"Oh, yes, I support Edward running the team."

Hearing this sentence, Karl Muller's face turned red instantly, and then turned pale again.

Goetzt and Schlegel are very famous, their legendary experience was widely reported after the reunification of Germany. After returning to Berlin, they were immediately regarded as heroes against the Stasi, and they were very popular among Union Berlin fans.

Since Edward can handle Goetzt, it means that Schlegel has the same attitude.

It seems that Edward really got the vote.

"There are other people's calls, do you want to listen, Uncle Carl?"

The word "uncle" was full of jokes when he said it.

"No need, you won Edward, I will resign."

Karl Müller insisted.

"Since you want to resign, don't wait for later, I will call the security guard to take you out!"

　Thank you so much for your votes.
