Chapter 722 Random Thoughts

Britain is a very strange and contradictory country

He is both conservative and modern. He is said to be conservative because he is old-fashioned and old-fashioned. No matter what he does, he follows the established regulations and is meticulous. But sometimes, they become more fashionable than anyone else anywhere. many.

For example, Britain is the mecca of rock music.

The meaning of rock and roll is avant-garde - which seems to be incompatible with their rigidity and conservatism.

But the world is so wonderful.

When Jester met Alex Ferguson at the Carrington training base, it was obvious that he was full of energy and seemed to have inexhaustible energy. He played in the Manchester United Champions League semi-finals last year. After being eliminated, Jester also saw Ferguson once. At that time, he looked very depressed because he had just lost the victory in the game he wanted most.

Perhaps I shouldn't ask you whether you are sure about the finals at this time, but I still can't help but ask, what are our chances of winning?

After Jester met Ferguson for the first time, he took a sip of the red wine that Ferguson just handed him and asked. After finishing speaking, Jester nodded with some admiration: The red wine is good, there is a very good one. A unique taste.”

Ferguson wasn't too angry about Jester's question.

Logically speaking, before such an important game, asking a very competitive head coach such a question seems to imply a sense of distrust in him. However, over the years of cooperation between Ferguson and Jester, although they have met several times, Not much, but he could see his character quite clearly, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

However, Ferguson still did not answer Jester's first question. He just shook his head and then said with a smile: This wine was given to me by a friend of mine who has a vineyard and winery in the Bordeaux region of France. He brewed this himself, the quantity is not large, because he knows that I like to drink, so he gives me some every year...

When he heard Ferguson talking about the winery, Jester remembered that he also had a vineyard in California, and naturally he also had a winery.

However, the wine produced in that vineyard can only be said to be half of it. It can be regarded as a relatively good table wine, but nothing more.

After hearing Ferguson say that a friend of his in France owned a winery, Jester wondered if he could also buy an old winery in France. There is no need to rush this matter, and it is just a sudden idea of ​​Jester's. It’s not yet certain whether to do it or not.

Ferguson told Jester that United would not arrive in Greece until three days before the game.

And it is impossible for Jester to stay in the UK for such a long time. The most important thing is that the weather in the UK is indeed not very good, it is gloomy and gloomy. In today's sunny world along the Mediterranean coast, this kind of weather in the UK is really... It was too hateful. Claudia had grown up in England and was already familiar with the British climate. I feel a little indifferent.

It’s just that after living in California, which has a pleasant climate, for so many years, I’m a bit uncomfortable with it.

But for Li Fuzhen, she didn't like the weather very much, although she didn't say it directly. But Jester could still feel it.

Therefore, Jester went to the Manchester United Club to deal with the club's affairs, met with the coach and team members, and encouraged morale. After promising a high cash reward outside of the contract, he flew directly to the venue of this Champions League final, Athens, Greece.

The match was held at the Olympic Stadium in Athens.

Speaking of the weather. The weather in the Aegean Sea is really better than that in the UK, with clear blue sky, blue water, and golden beaches.

Claudia and Li Fuzhen were very interested in this. They just got jet-lagged and couldn't wait to go to the beach. Jester was not very interested in these things, but he had nothing else to do, so he simply went with them. went.

Although it was almost June and the weather was a bit hot, the water at the beach was still a bit cool. Jester and his party did not go to the public beach. There were too many people there. For people like Jester, even if they were If you don't pay attention, there will be many people willing to be friends.

For example, the private beach Jester came to this time was provided by a friend.

He is engaged in maritime trade in Greece, and the number of freighters he owns ranks fifth in the world. He is an out-and-out shipping king. The business he is engaged in does not seem to be very related to Jester's main business, but once Sandy... He and Jester had met at the banquet organized by Will. At that time, he knew that Jester and Sandy Weill were strategic partners. In addition, Sandy Weill was currently in the process of entering into a strategic partnership with Morgan Stanley. After merger talks.

The Greek shipping king was naturally extremely passionate about Jester.

In the eyes of this shipping king, this is a person who is very likely to become a Wall Street tycoon.

Knowing that Jester was coming to Greece to watch a game this time, he not only provided him with a special place to stay and a place to play, but he even offered Jester a guaranteed ticket. As long as it was what Jester wanted to do in Greece, he could do it without him. It can't be done.

Jester was noncommittal about this.

However, he did not refuse the goodwill offered by the other party. This was actually a matter of mutual benefit. This time Jester accepted his favor, so if there is a chance in the future, Jester will naturally return the favor to him.

For people like Jester or the Greek shipping king, they don't value this favor very much.

People like them basically never encounter a problem that they can't solve. If they can't solve it themselves, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for the other party to do it. And such a favor obviously does not allow the other party to solve such difficulties. The problem is effective, but the reason why it is like this is just a kind of human exchange, which mutually enhances each other's relationship.

Jester has been leisurely basking in the sun and blowing the sea breeze these past few days, which is quite comfortable. He even thought a little self-indulgently that it would be good to retire like this and live a leisurely life. The private island has been well constructed in recent years. After I retire, it will be relatively peaceful wherever I can stay...

But just thinking about this kind of thing, Jester shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He has spent too much energy and effort in the video game industry in the past ten years, and now he feels a little exhausted. Previously, he was always energetic when working. At the craziest time, he would not sleep for three or four days in a row. They all feel very energetic. Although I still have the intention to do so, my experience cannot keep up.
