Chapter 714 Nothing Else, a Lot of Money

Run for cabinet?

Could it be that this guy is going to make a comeback?

Thinking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help laughing secretly, this guy is a bit interesting!

Boris Johnson didn't know what Master Huan was thinking. As soon as he arrived at the unveiling ceremony of Southampton's new stadium, he and Yang Huan immediately became the focus of everyone's attention and murdered countless reporters.

Yang Huan deliberately made Boris Johnson show off, so he kept a low profile, more like a foil.

And this very shameless guy even vowed to declare that he is a Southampton fan, thinking that Southampton will have no problem winning the Premier League this season, and even hopes to win the Champions League.

"Want to win the Champions League?" The reporters below were all blown away.

"No way? How is it possible?"

"Yeah, that's the Champions League, it's simply impossible!"

But Boris Johnson seemed to be very sure of the reporter's questioning, and asked back, "Who said it was impossible? Wasn't Nottingham Forest like this back then? Don't you think that Southampton today is very different from Nottingham Forest back then?" looks like?"

When Boris Johnson said this, everyone was really convinced, at least speechless.

If you want to say that it is similar, it is indeed a bit similar, even more legendary.

Back then, Nottingham Forest was relegated to League Two, England's second tier. After inviting Clough, he introduced many capable players. As a result, Nottingham Forest was promoted from League Two to League One in the first season. He won the League One championship, and in the second season, represented the League One in the European Champions Cup and won the championship again.

Even more frightening is that Nottingham Forest successfully defended the European Champions Cup in the second year.

So far, Nottingham Forest has won a top league title, two European Champions Cup titles, and a European Super Cup title in those two seasons, which is a legend.

On the other hand, Southampton, starting from the third tier in England, has won the championship every year, continuously upgraded, and entered the Premier League.

As a result, last season, the Saints defeated Manchester United and won the Premier League championship with the posture of being promoted from the Premier League. This is quite a legendary thing in itself.

And this season,

Southampton shined in the Champions League. Their performance in the group stage was second only to Real Madrid. In the knockout round of the Champions League, they beat Turkey's Galatasaray 6-0 away in the first round.

How can such a performance not be amazing?

If the Saints can really go further in this season's Champions League, and even win the championship, wouldn't it be the second Nottingham Forest?

No, even more legendary than Nottingham Forest!

If it’s only about similar results, then that’s fine, but the problem is that the head coach Bielsa and Clough are also very similar, but Bielsa is not like Clough, with the roughness of a British tough guy, but the relationship between the two There are some similarities in the passing and control style, as well as the overall coordination tactics.

So, suddenly hearing what Boris Johnson said, all the reporters present were a little stunned.

Looking at the taciturn Bielsa in the distance, it seems that there is really such a thing!

Don’t look at the Premier League, many fans are now talking about the world’s first league, but in fact, in British football, there is still a very strong retro sentiment, that is, the desire to reproduce the glorious peak of the 1970s and 1980s .

You know, the English team at that time was invincible in continental Europe and completely dominated European football.

Fans all over the world have almost no doubts about the dominance of English teams in the European arena from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, because during those six years, Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa took the lead. Won six European Champions Cup titles, including three for Liverpool, two for Nottingham Forest and one for Aston Villa.

Although the European Champions Cup in the 8283 season was taken away by the Bundesliga Hamburg, Liverpool soon won the European Champions Cup in the 8384 season, and in the 8485 season, they also entered the European Cup. Champions League final.

Unfortunately, the Heysel tragedy that shocked the world happened before the final, which greatly affected Liverpool. In the game, Juventus finally defeated Liverpool with a very controversial penalty from Platini. .

English football teams have been banned from European competitions following the Deinhessel tragedy.

Liverpool's red dynasty also went into decline after this battle.

That is to say, since then, the English team has lagged behind the European continent in terms of skills and tactics, and its performance in the European arena has plummeted.

This is why Manchester United's treble in 1999 was crazy about countless England fans!

For a long time, in the eyes of many England fans, it was UEFA's ban that defeated English football!

If there is no UEFA ban, with the strength of the English team at that time, I am afraid it will continue to dominate European football.

So, right now, Boris Johnson mentioned Nottingham Forest, and many people at the scene thought of the glory of English football in the past, and the dazzling brilliance of the English team when they swept Europa in the past. , There was even someone shouting and responding at the scene.

This made Yang Huan in the back a little dumbfounded.

I didn't realize that this guy's eloquence is so provocative!

Sure enough, it's no wonder people say that these politicians live off their lips!

Looking at Boris Johnson's broad back, in the eyes of many British women, this represents reliability.

This guy wants to join the cabinet?

Then you have to run for the House of Commons first!

It seems that this guy is finally ready and is about to take a crucial step!

In fact, Boris Johnson was already a member of Parliament more than ten years ago, but it was later revealed by the media that he had an improper relationship with a woman in the newspaper office where he was working, and was eventually dismissed from his post, but he was still in the same post four years later. As the Minister of Education of the Conservative Party Shadow Cabinet, it can be seen that the Conservative Party attaches great importance to him.

The so-called shadow cabinet is a set of preparatory leadership teams prepared by the opposition party for coming to power.

That is, if the Conservatives come to power, Boris Johnson is the education secretary.

But this guy was ambitious, and in order to run for the mayor of London, he gave up this position, and he was successfully elected and re-elected.

Judging from his tone, it seems that political capital has been earned enough, and he plans to go further.

Entering Congress and entering the cabinet are all crucial steps for him to step up to the prime minister's level in the future.

Everyone knows that the vast majority of British prime ministers come from the House of Commons.

And if you want to run for office, you have to have funds, and if you want funds, you have to have someone donate to support them.

As for money, Master Huan has nothing else but a lot of money!

Thinking of this, Yang Huan smiled slightly, he had already made a decision.

As far as his good relationship with Boris Johnson is concerned, there is no reason not to support it, is there?

Besides, many people have misunderstood political donations. They often think that the purpose of giving money to support campaigns is to obtain policy preferences in the future, but it is not.

For Yang Huan, he and his team have already figured out the laws and policies of the United Kingdom, and used this set of laws and policies to seek their own interests. Therefore, what he wants most now is not policy preference, but Maintain the status.

The reason is very simple. If you spend money, the policy will favor you. If another person spends money tomorrow, will the policy favor him? If everyone is playing like this, how can we continue? We can only hug and die together!

Therefore, the rules of this game are very simple, not to favor policy, but to be stable!

Only when the policy is stable, can everyone continue to play in accordance with the existing model, isn't it?

While Yang Huan was listening to Boris Johnson's very provocative speech with a slight smile, two people walked by, one of whom was the mayor of Southampton, Terry Matthews.

"Master Huan!" Terry Matthews was extremely enthusiastic when he saw Yang Huan.

Without the strong support of Young Master Huan, he would never have expected to sit in this position.

"Hey, Terry!" Yang Huan turned his head away with a smile, and when he saw another person, "Oh, Ms. Miller!"

Isn't it the British Minister of Culture, Media and Sport, Maria Miller!

"Mr. Yang Huan, it is a great honor to participate in the unveiling ceremony of your new stadium!" Maria Miller smiled and shook hands with Yang Huan.

Over the past few years, a number of pretty good female politicians have emerged in the British political arena, and Maria Miller is one of them.

"Don't say that, Maria, I don't know how happy you are to come!" Yang Huan complimented with a smile.

Just at this time, Boris Johnson also noticed this side, and immediately got rid of the enthusiastic reporters and greeted them.

This guy was even more shameless, and directly gave Maria Miller a big bear hug, pretending as if they were very affectionate, and the reporters immediately swarmed like bees encountering nectar.

Then it naturally became two big politicians singing a double reed.

This Boris Johnson's eloquence is indeed powerful.

When a reporter deliberately asked him whether, as the mayor of London, he supported Southampton, would it cause Londoners to resent him? Boris Johnson denied it. He said that in recent years, more and more Londoners are Pay attention to Southampton. Even in Southampton's season ticket membership data, London citizens also account for a large proportion.

After this guy's eloquent tongue, he resolved the problem abruptly.

However, what he said is indeed the truth, because Southampton has more and more London fans.

No way, it's close!

For many fans in south London, coming to Southampton is as far away as going to the north to watch an Arsenal game.

Even, the transportation is even more convenient!

But what Yang Huan didn't expect was that Maria Miller's eloquence was not bad, and she talked eloquently when facing reporters. She even talked about the first round of the Champions League knockout match two days ago, thinking that Southampton played The momentum of English football.

This made Yang Huan feel a little funny, so he retreated from the crowd with an excuse.

"How is it? Do you think it's fake?" Charlene Lahiri walked over with a smile.

As soon as Yang Huan saw her, he felt better, shook his head and said, "No, I didn't mean that."

"Then why are you sighing?"

"I sigh because..." Yang Huan thought for a while, "Because I think, without their fakes, how can I bring out my real ones? Are you right, Miss Charlene Lahiri?"

Charlene Lahiri burst out laughing, this guy is really narcissistic!

But at this moment, Peter Kenyon in the distance was already gesturing towards Yang Huan, indicating that the time was almost up, and the unveiling ceremony was about to begin.

Yang Huan nodded, winked at Charlene Lahiri, and immediately walked forward.

Seeing Yang Huan pleading guilty to media reporters in front of him, saying that Boris Johnson, Maria Miller, Terry Matthews and others will go to the unveiling ceremony together, Charlene Lahiri is vicious in the back, I really want to Give him a kick.

Look back and see how I deal with you!
