Chapter Nine Hundred and Seventieth Support, or Against?
A luxurious top-end Bentley sailed from Southampton's ring road to the Royal Docks.
When passing the Saints' House, the car windows were rolled down, revealing the faces of people sitting inside.
The most conspicuous, without a doubt, is Chelsea's owner, Roman Abramovich.
Beside him is his personal assistant, Marina Granovskia.
At this moment, Granovskia was pointing at the Saints' Home at the Southampton headquarters through the rolled down car window, and introduced: "Boss, that's the Saints' Home!"
Abramovich looked out of the car window and found that the shape of the headquarters building in Southampton is very unique and novel, very interesting, and he knew it was written by a famous artist at a glance.
It is said that it is the handwriting of Huang Ying, a Chinese designer who has gained fame in the field of architectural design in recent years and is recognized as a future master.
What's interesting is that this house of saints reflects each other with the underwater hotel and Glory Square on the sea, forming a triangle. It should be more interesting if you look at it from a distance.
"This is now an iconic business circle in south London." Granovskia said with admiration.
When it comes to operational ability, then Southampton is definitely second to none in the Premier League.
Even Manchester United in recent years has been inferior to the Saints.
Being able to lead the Saints from a low-level league to where they are today in just a few years, and bring such a huge change to the city of Southampton, Yang Huan is just a rich rich man. The second generation, who would believe it?
"Hmph, it's just that the land is cheap!" Abramovich said with a cold snort.
That was the way he was, Granovskia was used to it.
But he doesn't like anything Yang Huan has, no matter it's good or bad.
But there is one thing that must be admitted.
That is Chelsea today, whether it is attractiveness or appeal, it is not as good as before.
The team performed poorly last season, but Abramovich gambled heavily on Mourinho. Although the team was not relegated in the end, it ranked in the middle and lower reaches. This has almost destroyed Chelsea's aura of giants.
It is unacceptable for a wealthy team to be in a downturn for a season.
But Chelsea is good, it has been in a downturn for two consecutive seasons.
If there is no improvement, I am afraid that the days to come will become more and more sad.
Even if one is not careful, the Blues may completely fall out of the Premier League's first team.
Bentley came to the Royal Dock steadily.
There were already uniformed security guards directing them to stop their car.
"Hello, we are here to attend the Premier League Chairman's Summit." The driver rolled down the window and said.
"Hello!" The security guard immediately saluted politely, "Please go to the opposite side and park in the hotel's dedicated parking lot, thank you!"
"Can't we just drive in?" The driver was a little embarrassed.
My boss is not in the habit of walking!
"Sorry, except for the buses of the participating teams on the match day, under normal circumstances, we prohibit any vehicles from entering!"
The security guard was very polite, but replied very firmly.
"However, please don't worry, we will have a special pick-up car."
The driver turned his head and glanced at his boss. After getting a nod, he parked directly in the hotel parking lot.
As soon as they got out of the car, an electric car stopped in front of them.
A waiter wearing a hotel uniform got out of the car, opened the car door for them respectfully, and arranged for them to get on the car.
Riding an electric car is a completely different experience than riding a car.
The electric cars equipped in the Seabed Hotel are made in China. They start quickly and are very powerful. Sitting on them, there is a feeling of pushing your back, which is very refreshing.
More importantly, this is obviously a sightseeing car. Not to mention the good lighting, the sight line is also very wide. Along the way, you can enjoy everything about the Undersea Hotel and Glory Square without any blind spots.
Even if Abramovich is Yang Huan's rival, at this moment, he has to admire him in his heart.
This is really like a fairyland on earth!
Even though electric vehicles use electricity, the speed is actually very fast and stable. Coupled with the beautiful scenery along the way, you will arrive at the place in no time.
"Hello, welcome to the Undersea Hotel, Mr. Abramovich!"
As soon as Abramovich got out of the car, the hotel lobby manager greeted him immediately.
"You know me?" Abramovich was a little strange.
This is the first time he has come to the submarine hotel, how could anyone know him?
Or, he was too famous, they saw it from the newspaper?
Not right!
Abramovich looked again, and felt that the lobby manager looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but if he was asked to think about it, he couldn't remember it.
"I used to be at the Landmark Hotel!" The lobby manager laughed.
"Oh! It's you!" Abramovich suddenly realized.
is not that right?
I used to go to the Landmark Hotel often, no wonder I thought this guy was familiar.
But when did he come to the underwater hotel in Southampton?
Nimi, Yang Huan is really outrageous, right?
You poached their chef and ruined their most famous signature afternoon tea.
The result is good, you even dug out the lobby manager of others.
Will you give them a living?
Abramovich has no doubts that the owner of the Landmark Hotel must be eager to eat Yang Huan's flesh, drink his blood, and call him bloody.
"Facts have proved that this guy Yang Huan started his career by poaching corners, don't doubt it!"
When Abramovich walked into the lobby, he turned his head secretly and said to Granovskia angrily.
The latter almost laughed, and quickly turned his head away with an excuse.
However, that seems to be the case.
It is said that the requirements for the employees of this seabed hotel are quite high, each of them is an outstanding talent in their position, and Yang Huan specially poached them from some other famous hotels.
So, the boss is really right!
"Is everyone here?" Abramovich asked.
"Well, it's all here." The lobby manager said politely.
After a group of people walked into the lobby, the manager pressed the elevator for them and watched them go down.
Standing in the elevator, I didn't feel anything at first.
But as the elevator descended, the surrounding scenery gradually changed.
"Wow, it's really the bottom of the sea!"
Even a well-informed person like Abramovich couldn't help being amazed when he saw the unobstructed view of the seabed outside through the glass curtain wall of the elevator.
And as the elevator descended deeper and deeper, the scenery they saw became more and more beautiful.
Especially when they were at a high place, overlooking the brightly lit hotel buildings deep in the seabed, the magnificent feeling almost made the Russians drop their jaws.
Oh my God, this is simply ingenious!
"In the whole world, only Yang Huan and the infrastructure capabilities of the Chinese people can realize all this!"
At this moment, Abramovich also had to nod in appreciation.
"Isn't it?" Granovskia also repeatedly exclaimed, "I heard that Yang Huan plans to build two more hotel chains in China. This guy's business is getting bigger and bigger, and his calculations are getting better and better. gone."
Abramovich also let out a long sigh. At this point, he really couldn't admit defeat.
He also landed in the UK from abroad, but Yang Huan came to make a lot of money, while Abramovich came to throw money.
In the past few years, Yang Huan has made more and more money in the UK, which has made him a world-renowned rich man, but he, Abramovich, feels a bit like sitting on the mountain.
Especially in the past few years, the economy has been in a downturn, and Russia is facing economic sanctions from European and American countries, and his wealth has shrunk more and more. Therefore, he really has no choice but to lose in this respect.
What made him even more depressed was that on the football field, his Chelsea also lost to Southampton.
Feeling depressed, no matter how good the beautiful scenery is, I can't appreciate it.
With the sound of the elevator ding, as soon as the elevator door opened, there were waiters waiting outside, leading them all the way to the conference hall.
The Premier League chairman summit has always been held at the Landmark Hotel, which has become a major practice in the Premier League.
But now, the business of the Landmark Hotel is getting worse and worse, so Yang Huan and others proposed that the Undersea Hotel in Southampton should be the contractor instead, and promised to give preferential treatment.
Therefore, the Premier League agreed.
In this kind of trivial matter, the bosses of the Premier League will not care about Yang Huan.
But wait a minute, it's not necessarily the case.
As soon as Abramovich entered, he saw almost everyone in the conference hall.
This conference hall is circular, except for the section close to the corridor, all others can enjoy the beautiful view of the seabed without dead ends.
Moreover, I don't know whether they survived here naturally or were deliberately stocked by the hotel. Looking out through the curtain wall, you can see many kinds of colorful live fish swimming around the conference hall.
There are also those corals, seaweeds, and various shellfish, which are simply beautiful.
Therefore, at the moment Abramovich entered the door, most people in the conference hall were standing by the window, looking at the underwater world outside through the curtain wall, obviously surprised by the ingenuity here.
"Hello, Roman, welcome to the Undersea Hotel!"
As soon as Yang Huan saw Abramovich enter the door, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
This guy is always the last to arrive on weekdays, but today he was early.
But it's no wonder, he is the host today, if he was late, it would be unreasonable.
"Hello, Master Huan!" Abramovich also squeezed out a smile, "Your place is really quite luxurious, it makes people linger and forget to return!"
"Haha, Roman, if you like it, you can stay here, eat, drink, play, I'll treat you all."
Young Master Huan said boldly.
"Really? Then I'm really rude?"
"Hehe, if you are polite to me, then I will be angry instead!"
Abramovich laughed again, and said no more, because he knew that Yang Huan must still have something to say.
Sure enough, after the two chatted for a while, Yang Huan chuckled and asked, "Roman, what do you think about today's topic?"
"What do you think?" Abramovich asked in a daze.
Yang Huan also didn't take it seriously, "We smart people don't say dark words, this matter is beneficial to you and me."
Abramovich curled his lips, shook his head and laughed and said, "Master Huan, you won't forget, right? We ranked fourteenth last season, and we belong to the middle and lower reaches of the team!"
"Come on!" Yang Huan waved his hand, "Who doesn't know that it's only temporary, after adjusting it and investing a sum of money to operate it, Chelsea is still an upstream team."
The professional league is like this, the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat shrimp.
Chelsea may not be able to buy top players now, but it is still possible to dig out players from the mid-lower teams.
The downturn in the last two seasons is more like a labor pain, and it will be relieved after getting through.
"Frankly speaking, Roman!" Yang Huan stared at Abramovich and said word by word, "You must have thought about this matter in the past few years, and now the opportunity has come. I'm afraid there won't be a next time."
Abramovich understood what Yang Huan meant.
As the saying goes, don't miss the opportunity and never come again!
"Now is not the time to get angry, Roman!" Yang Huan said in a warning, even a bit of a lesson.
"What we are talking about now is the interests that are directly related. You must clearly state your position, whether you support it or oppose it?"
