Chapter 183: The Knowledge of Taking Advantage

In the penthouse mansion of a single-family apartment facing the street in Kensington, London, Abramovich sat at the dining table, holding a fork in his left and a knife in the right, slowly and very gentlemanly eating this piece of food on the plate in front of him. Servings of seven ripened sirloin steaks.

In front of him there were two more plates with fruit and toast.

There was also a glass of red wine from Bordeaux, France.

This is Abramović's daily breakfast.

After breakfast, Abramović wiped the corner of his mouth gently with a napkin.

The whole process is very gentleman, like an elegant British aristocrat.

"Pack up!" Abramović greeted the servants who were waiting by the side.

He got up, left the dining room, and walked into the living room.

The personal assistant and cronie Marina Granovskia and the famous European football agent Pini Zahavi have all been sitting on the sofa in the living room with a British aristocratic flavor for a long time. .

"boss!"

"Roman!"

Seeing Abramovich approaching, the two immediately stood up together.

"Sit down!" Abramović motioned for them all to sit down.

Sitting at the head table, Abramović was immediately attracted by the stack of newspapers placed in front of him by the servant.

At the top is the largest circulation newspaper in the UK, The Sun.

The Sun's front page headline was called a belated apology.

"Wow, does the Sun have a conscience and are willing to apologise to Liverpool fans for the Hillsborough tragedy?"

Abramović jokingly took it.

Looking at it, it turns out that this is not the case at all.

The Sun made a bet with a dozen British media before reporting on Southampton boss Yang Huan.

This incident later became quite a big deal, and many reporters were affected by it.

It took Yang Huan three days to create a game that is popular all over the world.

It has also received numerous accolades.

Abramovich clicked his tongue twice, and put it aside with no interest.

Below is an independent newspaper.

As a person from Russia, Abramovich likes this newspaper, because at least their position has always been neutral and objective, which is more acceptable to him.

But today's headline in The Independent is a letter of apology.

The Independent's chief correspondent Glenn Moore formally apologized to Yang Huan.

Same thing with The Sun.

In the lower part of the front page, there is a colorful advertisement.

There are many colorful and various candies in the advertisement, forming a beautiful pattern.

"Everyone says women can't afford a game."

"Yes, I don't believe it."

"I just want to design a game for female players!"

"You can doubt women, but I believe they will prove themselves!"

"I'm Yang Huan, and this is a gift I give to female players all over the world."

"Candy Crush Saga!"

Abramovich couldn't help laughing after seeing this ad.

"Women? Don't they all look after the children at home, cook, wash, and mop the floor? They also play games?"

The Russian couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "This guy is really stupid. Does he think he can make women play games with just these inflammatory slogans?"

Games have always been a man's world.

Marina Granovskia is a middle-aged woman who has been with Abramovich for 18 years. She understands the boss's temper, and instead of refuting Abramović's words, she chuckles, "He is still too young. It's ridiculous."

Abramović nodded. "Just a lucky kid."

He always remembered the grievances and grievances between him and Yang Huan in the FA Cup.

But as soon as that incident was mentioned, a beautiful image flashed in Abramović's mind.

If he remembered correctly, the innocent and moving female singer seemed to be named Lin Yuner.

He has never forgotten her.

She was really beautiful that night.

"By the way, Pini, how was the last time I made a bet with Yang Huan?"

For such trivial matters, Abramovich gave Pini Zahavi full authority to communicate with him at that time.

That is, when he saw this newspaper today, he would remember this matter.

"It's a little troublesome, Roman." Pini Zahavi is also having a headache recently.

"What? His request is outrageous?"

Abramovich sneered with disdain.

"It's no wonder that a League One team can select players from Premier League teams, and what they ask for is outrageous!"

Marina Granovskia, who was on the side, also laughed, "I wonder if they can afford the high salary of the players after they get the players?"

Abramović can't help but smile, which is interesting.

Seeing the boss smile, Marina Granovskia was even more excited.

"If they can't pay the players' wages, and if the players don't stay at Southampton and come back to us at Chelsea, what can we do? We have to talk to them first, and we won't be in that situation. Responsible!"

The personal assistant's remarks made Abramović laugh and feel good.

"Pini, it's nothing to be bothered about. Give it to whoever they want. We can't take our word for it!"

Abramovich also has his own plan, which is to take advantage of this opportunity to restructure the team.

He has already drawn up plans for the next season, and he has been contacting Porto's young coach recently, Boas, who has the title of Mourinho II, hoping that the latter can take over at Stamford Bridge next season.

The arrival of the young marshal at Stamford Bridge just brought a round of metabolism.

At this time, Abramovich was willing to send away two famous stars who had started to go downhill.

"They..." Pini Zahavi saw that they were both smiling so happily, and he was a little reluctant to spoil their spirits.

But things are always revealed.

"...They have no interest in our stars at all."

"What?" Abramović's smile froze, surprised.

Pini Zahavi sighed, "Yang Huan said that he is not interested in our stars."

"Fart!" Abramović felt humiliated.

Marina Granovsky was also surprised, "They don't want stars, so what do they want?"

Pini Zahavi shrugged, and he also felt that this was indeed a bit outrageous in the eyes of ordinary people.

But this also happens to be Yang Huan's most astute place.

"They asked for two players who couldn't play with us."

"Who?" Abramovich was really interested to know.

"Daniel Sturridge and Nemanja Matic."

"Matic?" Abramović frowned, as if he had vaguely heard the name.

Pini Zahavi nodded and said, "A player under the agent Timich."

Abramovich slapped his thigh, "Yes, Timic's player, Timic kept recommending him to me back then, and it seemed that it cost us nearly 2 million euros, and it's up to you, Pini, to negotiate."

Pini Zahavi nodded. He and Timich are also very close friends, or he introduced Timich to Abu.

"Is this player in the team? I didn't see him in the game." Abramovich asked strangely.

Marina Granovskia immediately replied: "Neimanja Matic has not been able to play since he came to the team. This season, we have been loaned to the Dutch Vitesse team to play for Vitesse. main force."

"What about Daniel Sturridge?" Abramović asked again.

Or Marina Granovsky was the first to answer.

"Sturridge has been on the bench since he joined the team from Manchester City, and was loaned to Bolton by us during the winter break this season."

Abramovich shook his head and smiled, "He wants these two players who can't play at Chelsea?"

He looked as if he had picked up a big bargain.

It also seems to be mocking Yang Huan for not knowing the goods at all.

Such a good opportunity to slaughter people, he actually missed it in vain?

Isn't that what a fool is?

Pini Zahavi hesitated, but in the end it didn't break.

Because he is very clear, and if he breaks it, he will not necessarily please Abramović.

But he didn't say it, Yang Huan definitely knew it.

I heard that there is a saying in Chinese people, if you don't take advantage of it, you are a tortoise bastard.

But how to account for cheap, this is also very particular.

Matic did well at Waiters, but it was Sturridge who stood out even more.

After joining Bolton, the homegrown rookie played 23 minutes off the bench against Wolves in his first game at home and scored a crucial winning goal for Bolton. He also scored a goal in each of the next three Premier League games. .

With four goals in four consecutive rounds, Sturridge is simply a blast in Bolton.

But if it's just that, that's fine.

In the last two rounds of the Premier League, Bolton played against West Ham United and Arsenal respectively. Sturridge scored twice and scored the winning goal respectively.

It can be said that Sturridge is now the hottest supernova in English football.

At first glance, the 22-year-old Matic and the 21-year-old Sturridge are not well-known now. Compared with top stars such as Drogba, Cech, and Terry, the gap is really not ordinary. of disparity.

But the problem is, the future of these two hopeful stars is very bright. Who dares to say that they will not become first-class stars in the future?

Instead of taking advantage of those superstars who have gone downhill, but whose salaries are terrifyingly high and may not be willing to go to Southampton, it would be better to have these two young rookies.

The superstars are the present, but the rookies have the future!

Therefore, Yang Huan's shrewdness is here.

"Pini, I don't understand, since they want these two players, just give them, what's the trouble?"

Abramovich didn't quite understand, where did Pini Zahavi's troubles come from?

Pini Zahavi smiled bitterly, "Roman, do you remember the deal we made with Benfica when we introduced David Luiz?"

Abramović still didn't understand that this kind of thing didn't need him to worry about at all.

Marina Granovskia immediately understood and quickly explained: "When we introduced David Luiz, we made an agreement with Benfica to make Matic as David Luiz's transfer fee for five million. part of the Serb's move to Benfica at the end of the season."

Abramović understood, it turned out to be this relationship.

"It's very simple, you just tell Benfica that this player has other uses for us. As for the part of the transfer fee for David Luiz, we will pay in cash. Even if Benfica is not satisfied, we can also give a little compensation."

At this point, Abramovich is still very generous.

"Then we really send these two players to Southampton?" Pini Zahavi asked with reconfirmation.

Abramović's face flashed a bit of hesitation, and he nodded coldly, "If they want it, give it to them!"

Originally in a good mood, as long as he thinks of that gambling contract, he gets angry.

"Sooner or later, I will definitely make him pay the most painful price, just wait and see!"

When Abramovich made an indignant decision in London to give Yang Huan two future stars, Yang Huan, who was in Southampton, was in his own office, jumping with excitement.

"I'm developed, I'm developed!" ()
