Chapter 723 Encountered Big Trouble!

It was another sunny morning with a clear blue sky.

A taxi from Madrid Capital Airport was driving quickly on the A6 highway.

Sitting in the driver's seat is a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a fat body that taxi drivers often see. His service attitude is good, but he talks a lot. Never stopped.

"La Finca? Oh, that's where the richest people in Madrid live, and the place you're going to is on the hillside of the La Finca neighborhood, and all the people living there are super rich."

"Hey, who are you looking for? Tell me, maybe I know you!"

"This La Finca is home to many football stars. Many stars from Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Getafe live here. The last time I invited guests in, it happened that Carlos Tevez was moving. Wow, my first time. Jumping down to ask him for an autograph, who told me to be a fan of Atletico Madrid?"

"Another time, I happened to be soliciting customers nearby, and I went in with an empty car for a walk around. I didn't expect to see Vidal coming out to take out the garbage, so I quickly took out my phone and took a picture, sent it to the newspaper office, and earned a hundred dollars. A lot of extra money for Euros, haha!"

"Let me tell you, I'm not bragging. In the La Finca community, I know which star lives where!"

"Here, get off the highway a little further ahead, turn around, and you'll be at La Finca."

Roselle took his two vice-chairmen, dressed up a bit, and sat in the back row of the taxi, depressingly enduring the non-stop yelling from the taxi driver in the front row, screaming in his heart. A depressed ah.

But when he heard that La Finca had arrived, he immediately followed the driver's gesture to look over.

Sure enough, the taxi quickly turned off the highway.

After getting off the highway, we soon came to the La Finca community.

The taxi driver was just as he said, he came here often, and he was familiar with the security guards at the gate of the community. After a little inspection, he let them pass.

La Finca is a well-known rich area in Madrid. There are all detached villas, big and small, well planned, but the architectural style is somewhat inconsistent. After all, some like the tradition of red and green tiles, while others like it. Unconventional and contemporary style.

The road is not wide, but there are not many cars, so it is faster to walk.

Through dense residential areas,

Entering the high-end area, there is another security duty room at the foot of the mountain.

This time it is more troublesome.

After the security guard asked about the situation, he went back to the duty room and called, probably to confirm.

"It's the first time I've come here. I heard that any house here costs several million, and the more expensive ones are over ten million euros!"

The taxi driver sat in the car, leaned over, and looked at the community in front of him through the front windshield.

In fact, nothing can be seen, only a lush mountain forest, and a corner of a building is faintly exposed in the gaps in the forest.

"Okay, you can go up, but please slow down!"

After passing through, enter the high-end residential area and follow the winding and serpentine path all the way up the mountain.

At every important corner or intersection along the way, there are fully armed security guards on duty. When they see their cars coming up, they will come out immediately, stand upright on the side of the road and salute, while showing them the way.

This surprised several people in the car.

The labor cost in Spain is so high, and the whole mountainous area is so big, how much does it cost just to hire these security guards?

The houses here are more than ten million, which is expensive, but there are still many people who can afford it.

However, the property fees here are probably quite expensive, and it should not be affordable for just anyone.

Following the security guard's direction gestures, the taxi arrived at a certain intersection halfway up the mountain, and saw the security guard standing in the middle of the road, signaling them to turn in.

Looks like it's here.

"I won't go in, you guys take a walk!" the taxi driver said a little depressed.

Walking in here made him feel ashamed and frustrated.

Roselle and the others didn't force it, they had reached the place anyway, so they got out of the car.

The chairman of Barcelona had just closed the car door when he suddenly remembered something and came back together.

"Hey, aren't you an Atletico Madrid fan?"

"Ah, yes, what's the matter?" the taxi driver nodded.

Russell chuckled, and pointed to the modern-style mansion not far from the intersection, "That's the mansion of your Atletico Madrid boss in Spain, remember!"

"What?" The taxi driver was stunned.

But Roselle didn't say anything more, greeted the two assistants, and walked in towards the intersection.

The taxi driver was left behind, sitting in the car, staring blankly at the mansion deep in the intersection, all stunned.

"Good morning, Mr. Russell!"

"Good morning, Mr. Longwu!"

Russell recognized at a glance that the person who came to receive him at the gate was Yang Huan's bodyguard, Long Wu.

"Master Huan has been waiting for you for a long time, he is swimming, you can go to the study first."

"Oh, good!" Roselle nodded.

The three followed Long Wu into the mansion.

Yang Huan's mansion is a bit like a hut in the forest. The architectural style is very unique, as if it is made up of various irregular geometric figures, but it is located in the woods, but it seems to blend into it without any damage. The overall environment of the woods and the quiet atmosphere.

Just walking in here gives people a very natural and harmonious feeling, and the air is particularly fresh.

Stepping on the stairs and walking into the villa, it gives people a very different feeling.

If we say that from the outside, the villa feels a little small, but after entering, there is a feeling of suddenly being enlightened. The space is not only not small, but also very large and open.

Because the exterior walls are designed with glass curtain walls, the light is also very good. Even the aisles and entrances that should be dark are very bright, especially when looking at the woods outside through the glass, it makes people feel like living in a primitive jungle. in the feeling.

"It's really great here!" Roselle couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that there is such a house in Madrid!"

"I remember, I seem to have seen it in some magazine before. It should be designed by a famous artist. It seems to have won some international awards!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Bartomeu finished speaking, Yang Huan's voice rang outside the door.

"Haha, what Josep said is absolutely right. This is a design by Eduardo Arroyo. It won the world's best residential design award. It was later bought and built here."

"But after the house was completed, the original owner went bankrupt due to the European debt crisis, and the price of the house was too high, so it couldn't be sold, so it was dragged down. Until a year ago, I heard about the house and thought it was good. The price was good and I was willing to give a discount, so I bought it.”

Wearing a casual home sportswear, Yang Huan walked into the study with a smile and greeted everyone to sit down.

Eduardo Arroyo is a well-known artist in Spain. He is not only a painter, graphic artist, writer and set designer. He did not expect to be so good at residential buildings. What is more respectable is that he is already very old. Eighty years old.

It seems that the whole set of furniture should also be designed by Eduardo Arroyo. Even the sofa is very simple and pursues nature, but it can be seen that both the workmanship and materials are quite fine and valuable.

"By the way, have you had breakfast?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

"Eat it!" Roselle quickly replied.

Yang Huan nodded, and flicked his finger towards Long Wu, who immediately understood and asked the servant to prepare tea.

Not long after, a cup of fragrant hot tea was delivered to everyone.

"Try the tea I brought from China, you can't drink it outside!" After speaking, Yang Huan nodded towards Long Wu.

The latter knew that they had something to talk about, so after nodding, he backed out and closed the door behind him.

"How is it? I heard that you have been in trouble recently?" Yang Huan looked at Roselle and asked with concern.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Master Huan, Roselle sighed helplessly and nodded.

The Barcelona chairman has indeed encountered big trouble recently.

After all, it's Neymar's transfer!

In Yang Huan's previous life, Russell stepped down because Neymar's transfer was full of shady scenes.

In the past, Yang Huan didn't understand, and always felt that Roselle was greedy for money, but later he gradually understood, and it became very clear that this kind of transfer related to third-party ownership is often difficult to explain clearly in one sentence.

There are a lot of gray areas here, even if Roselle stepped down later, Bartomeu stepped up, and with the permission of Neymar's father, all the transfer terms and contracts were disclosed, but there are still a lot of gray areas. The details of the transfer have not been announced, full of doubts, and cannot even be explained!

With the arrival of Yang Huan, Neymar was brought to Southampton early, and Barcelona no longer needed to hide anything when introducing Neymar, but the problem still appeared.

That is the transfer fee is too high!

Barcelona signed Neymar at an astonishingly high price, which certainly excited the fans, made the entire football market boil, and even made Barcelona's sponsors very excited, but it was also tantamount to giving competitors the opportunity to attack Russell weapon.

Because in the past few years, Russell has been committed to reducing Barcelona's operating costs, improving the club's finances, and expanding commercial operating income, but now, signing Neymar is naturally controversial.

Not long ago, former chairman Laporta publicly asked Russell to disclose the financial situation of the team, but in the end he was suppressed by Russell. After all, after Barcelona signed Neymar, regardless of the level of competition or income, are steadily improving.

But now, a new problem has arisen.

When Russell heard Yang Huan's question, he immediately glanced at Bartomeu next to him. The latter knew that he still had to put on this ugly face himself.

As a last resort, I could only cough and cough twice, and said: "Master Huan, we are indeed in trouble, and it is a big trouble for us, but for you, Master Huan, it should be a piece of cake."

"What do you mean?" Yang Huan thought it was funny.

Give me a high hat this time, are you good enough?

However, thinking about how arrogant these two guys were when I was about to introduce Zlatan Ibrahimovic back then, but now, Yang Huan is in a great mood because he wants to come to him eagerly.

"According to our agreement with Southampton, we should pay another Neymar transfer fee in June."

Yang Huan nodded and said, "Yes!"

Hearing this, he actually already knew it in his heart.

"However, Master Huan, it happens that we have a bank loan due in May, and we spent a lot of money during the winter break to introduce Llorente from Juventus, so..."

Having said that, Bartomeu is a little embarrassed, it's hard to say!

"So... We are afraid in terms of funds... But please believe that we have tried our best to raise funds."

Yang Huan knew it well, no matter how nice Bartomeu said, in the end, Barcelona still had no money.

Frankly speaking, Roselle cannot be blamed for this.

On the one hand, Roselle is indeed not Florentino, and the ability gap between the two is not so large.

But we must also see that when Laporta was in charge of the team, although the results were very good, the team's finances were quite poor.

To put it bluntly, Laporta was lucky. The heroes of the second stage of the dream, including Ronaldinho and other players, were all introduced by Russell, and the third stage of the dream happened to catch up with May. The rise of local youth training such as West, Iniesta, Pique and Busquets.

Without the emergence of this group of youth training talents that can be met but not sought after, Laporta's end will be quite miserable.

But who told people to be lucky and catch up with the good times?

As soon as Roselle came up, there were a lot of financial problems, and the third phase of Dream also reached its peak, so his grades would inevitably decline.

But even so, Russell has indeed done a good job in Barcelona for the past few years.

Even if many fans scold him for being stingy and accuse him of a lot of problems, it must be seen that the team's finances are indeed improving step by step. This is Rosell's greatest contribution to Barcelona.

So, I can only say that Roselle is really unlucky.
