Lin Hao held the "Qianlong Imperial Treasure" green jade dragon jade seal in his hand, then turned to look at Ivanka and explained:

"This jade seal is the imperial seal of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, just like the King of England. And the Chinese totem, the dragon, is carved inside. The dragon is a mythical beast in traditional Chinese mythology and is often used as a royal decoration.

The seal is engraved with six large characters in positive relief in Chinese seal script, indicating that this is a symbol of the artwork or document that Emperor Qianlong personally reviewed and collected.

The jade seal has a special status and importance in Chinese history, because it is an item exclusively used by the emperor and represents the supreme imperial power. But unfortunately, this is not the legendary imperial seal."

After listening to Lin Hao's introduction, Ivanka seemed to understand why Lin Hao attached so much importance to this jade seal. After all, for a capable man, pursuing power and status is an instinct.

If Lin Hao knew Ivanka's thoughts, he could only say that she thought too much. She bought the jade seal only because it had huge room for appreciation in the future. It could easily increase by more than 100 times, or even 200 times.

The "Water Lilies" painting would only increase by several times at most in the future. However, the price of "Water Lilies" was high, and it could be worth the jade seal in his hand if it increased by several times. But who said he was Chinese?

If it was really a jade seal passed down from the state, and the eight characters "Received the mandate from heaven, longevity and prosperity" were engraved below, then Lin Hao would be really excited for a while. After all, no man in China could resist these eight characters.

"Are you sure about the bet with Abramovich?" Ivanka stopped worrying about the jade seal and asked about the bet with Abramovich just now.

Lin Hao was not interested in the "Water Lilies", but she was still very interested. If she lost the game and gave the painting away, she would really be a little reluctant.

"Of course I'm not sure. I haven't been to the club and I don't know anything about the team. The most important thing now is to control Manchester United first. Although I am already the largest shareholder, I can't really take over Manchester United."

After Lin Hao finished speaking, he continued: "But don't worry. Manchester United was the champion of the Premier League last season and is still very strong."

"But didn't Beckham leave?" Ivanka was a little worried about whether the strength would decline after the star player left.

"Whether Beckham leaves or not will not affect Manchester United's strength. When he was there, he was already a substitute."

Hearing Lin Hao's words, Ivanka relaxed, but in fact Manchester United's performance in the 2003-2006 season was not good. In the summer of 2003, Abramovich took over Chelsea and the Blues rose strongly; in 2004, Arsenal dominated the Premier League with an unbeaten record; in 2005 and 2006, Chelsea won the Premier League championship again, and Manchester United only won the FA Cup and League Cup during that period.

Lin Hao thought to himself that he might really lose the game a week later. Chelsea's pre-season player purchases were unimaginable for any club before.

Talented players such as Glen Johnson, Makelele, Veron and Joe Cole were all bought by Chelsea. Chelsea invested more than 100 million pounds in the transfer market, and off the field, Abramovich successfully privatized the Chelsea club.

Chelsea in the new era quickly impressed people. They defeated Liverpool at Anfield for the first time in 11 seasons since the start of the Premier League.

Historically, in November 2003, Chelsea won two important victories. Chelsea defeated Lazio 4-0 in Rome, setting a new record for the largest score of a foreign team in Italy; in the Premier League, Chelsea defeated the defending champion Manchester United and topped the Premier League standings.

That's right, in the game between Manchester United and Chelsea a week later in history, Manchester United lost and was taken away from the top of the standings by Chelsea.

Although he didn't care much about the bet, if he really lost, it would definitely be widely reported by the media, which would be very embarrassing. It seems that he has to think of a way. It's a pity that the summer transfer market has passed, otherwise he can still strengthen the team.

Now he can only wait until he controls Manchester United and meets Ferguson to see what the legendary coach can do.

The next morning, as expected, all the major media newspapers in the UK were about Prince William's charity dinner last night, and the front page headlines were all about Lin Hao.

"Shocking news, Lin Hao and Abramovich staged a century bet. In the match between Manchester United and Chelsea in a week, if Manchester United wins, Abramovich will give Lin Hao 10 million pounds, and if Chelsea wins, Lin Hao will give the "Water Lilies" to Abramovich." ——Reuters

.......

After today's news came out, it immediately set off the whole of Britain, and then the whole of Europe followed suit. Lin Hao's purchase of "Water Lilies" for 10 million pounds did not cause much fluctuation.

But the melon with Abramovich later attracted the whole European crowd, and everyone who saw the news became interested.

"How will Abramovich fight with Lin Hao? Can Lin Hao knock Abramovich down with one punch? ”

“They are not going to play in person, they want to see the truth on the football field.”

“The stakes are really high, 10 million pounds.”

“Won’t Manchester United beat Chelsea to the ground?”

“You said it the other way around, Beckham is gone, Manchester United is not good now, Chelsea is going to beat Manchester United to the ground.”

“There will be a good show to watch, I must go to watch the game in a week.”

“The Blues are nothing, the Red Devils are the best.”

“You are talking nonsense, the Red Devils are destined to fail this season.”

......

As the news spread, more and more people discussed it. Later, Manchester United fans and Chelsea fans quarreled online, and finally continued offline. A large number of fans took to the streets, and the fans of the two teams directly staged a real-life PK.

Lin Hao didn’t know all this. After seeing the news in the morning, Lin Hao didn’t pay attention and directly found Robert.

“I want to control Manchester United within 3 days.”
