"Why?"

In his mansion in London's West End, Abramovich was looking frustratedly at his personal assistant in front of him, Marina Granovskia, now Chelsea CEO.

The poor middle-aged Russian woman, who was looked directly at by Abramovich like this, couldn't help but bow her head timidly.

Just now, she was reporting to the team's boss, with a focus on the International Champions Cup.

Although this is a new warm-up game, the appearance fee is too lucrative to be tempted.

However, the organizers of the International Champions Cup invited almost all the top teams, but Chelsea was the only one who missed it

That's why Abramovich asks, why?

"Why?" Abramovich asked again in a deep voice.

There is a saying that hits people not in the face.

Generous appearance fees or something, Abramovich is not particularly rare.

It's mainly angry, you know?

You, why have all the top teams in Europe been invited, but not Chelsea?

What does it mean?

Are you when we Chelsea are not giants?

Or are you trying to embarrass us? Let journalists and fans all over the world laugh at us?

It's too unusual

It's really unbearable, and my uncle can't bear it

Marina O Granovskia understood the boss's temper and waited until he asked for the second time before daring to answer.

"Boss, I think it's mainly because of the relationship between the organizers of the International Champions Cup."

Abramovich frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

Maybe Chelsea has offended too many people, and he has a little weakness.

"The organizer of this event is a company called Miracle Media, which has just acquired two sports marketing companies, Infront in Switzerland and ING in the United States, and has become a giant in the industry.

"Well, to the point" Abramovich is not interested in this.

"Yes, boss," Marina Granovskia agreed.

"I didn't expect it at first, but then I learned about the three artists in the entertainment department of this company, and we are all familiar with them."

"Who?" Abramovich sensed something was wrong.

"Lim Yoon-a, Uncle Bird, and Maki Horikita, in addition, recently signed Charlene Lahri."

"Is it Yang Huan?" Abramovich was amazed.

Lin Yun'er, that is the best oriental beauty that once amazed him.

It's shocking, isn't it?

He could never have imagined that Yang Huan would run to organize such a competition.

Is this guy crazy?

He himself is the owner of a football club, and he is a good rich second generation, running away from such nonsensical things?

"Yes, it's Yang Huan"

Abramovich sneered disdainfully, "Is this guy reliable?" ”

Looking at Yang Huan's personality, he doesn't look like that kind of person who is very reliable.

Maybe the young master is in a happy mood today, and he has a cup competition to tease you, and tomorrow he is not happy, so he won't play? How will it be rectified then? Go home and play on your own?

"Boss, in fact, they and other teams signed the right to participate in five terms in one go."

"What?" Abramovich was taken aback again.

The appearance fee is so good, and you still signed five times in one go?

That's too rich, isn't it?

Although there is no need to give money now, it also proves that Yang Huan is definitely not a whim, not willful.

This guy is going to get serious

Although Abramovich has a lot of big opinions about Yang Huan, there is one thing he believes.

That is, once Yang Huan is serious, needless to say, his eyes are vicious, and he is still very reliable.

But such a person, who founded such an event, actually blocked Chelsea out of the door because of personal vendettas.

Abramovich regrets it in his heart now, for no reason, why did you offend Yang Huanyu?

Okay now, right?

People have a chance to make a fortune, so I don't take you to play, do you regret it?

"Boss, Pini told me that Miracle Media has now won the right to participate in six top teams, and this event is already imperative"

Abramovich glanced at Marina Granovskia, a little nervous in his heart.

"I received the news that Manchester United's David Gil went south to Southampton early this morning to meet Peternien."

When Abramovich heard this, he was on fire

"Niang Xipi, I knew that bastard had a backbone on the back of his head, but I didn't expect the rebellion to become so fast, and I forgot my righteousness when I saw profit."

But in fact, he was secretly hating in his heart, you girl, can you not compromise so quickly?

There's such a good thing, you should have informed me

"Manchester City is also very interested in it, and there are several other teams in Europe who are very interested in participating, and the last spot is still very sought-after."

Abramovich sighed in his heart, Chelsea had no hope anyway.

But soon, he figured out what the assistant meant.

This is intended for me to take the initiative to come to the door like David O Jill.

Isn't that a joke for Yang Huan to see?

To go, you go

Marina Granovskia looked at Abramovich's expression and understood in her heart, with a look of embarrassment.

Boss, it's not that I don't want to go, it's mainly that I don't have weight in the hearts of the young master.

"Boss, Miracle Media and these teams are signed for five terms, if you can't get a place, unless a team withdraws

Marina o Granovskia means that places are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Why doesn't Abramovich understand?

Not to mention that this event is indeed very promising, even Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United have participated.

If the operation of Miracle Media fails, it doesn't matter much to the team, anyway, at least more than 10 million euros of appearance fees can be taken every summer, and they can travel to the United States for free in person.

But if the operation is successful, the other teams that have not won the right to participate can only stare on the sidelines.

Waiting for the expansion of the army?

That's right, there will definitely be an expansion

But at that time, the number of places for the expansion of the army will be limited, and the competition will definitely be even more fierce.

Everyone knows how big the U.S. market is, and who doesn't want a piece of it?

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the team that gets the place first must have an advantage.

As a result, Abramovich was depressed.

Could it be that you really want to take the initiative to talk to Yang Huan?

Twenty-nine-year-old Matt Higgins walked into a prominent skyscraper in Manhattan, New York, USA.

The young man, who was the executive vice president of the NFL team New York Jets two months ago, has now taken on a new title.

CEO of EB Ventures

And behind him is the most famous super-rich man in the United States, real estate tycoon, Stephen Ross.

Be is just getting started, and has only invested in the famous American company E, which is the organizer of the North American Invitational Tournament that has been successfully held for two times.

Strictly speaking, this event is not the brainchild of Company E.

As an American sports marketing company, e-has maintained close business relations with many big European teams including Manchester United and Real Madrid in the past few years, mainly in the US market.

In the new century, the U.S. market is becoming more and more valued by European giants, with more and more teams going to the U.S. to participate in pre-season warm-up matches, and more and more sponsors are also participating in it.

Company E saw the opportunity and launched the North American Invitational Tournament, which was successfully held twice.

It was this event that caught the attention of Stephen Rose and Matt Higgins.

But they don't just want this loose invitational tournament and warm-up matches, they want to be able to run this event into an important football event at an international level.

From next year

Matt Higgins is confident about that

This chubby black-haired young man walked into the lobby of the office building with his head held high and went straight to the elevator.

At this time, there were several people waiting in front of the elevator, led by a thin bamboo pole in a suit and leather shoes.

He was taller than Matt Higgins, but he was a full two laps thinner, and he was already half-bald on the top of his head, but the eyes hidden behind his glasses showed a cold look.

He is the owner of EF, Stephen Ross.

"Good morning, Stephen" Matt Higgins grinned at his trademark mouth and grinned.

Stephen Rose turned his head sideways to look at the little young Matt Higgins, but he looked faint, looking preoccupied and a little unable to laugh.

The main reason why he valued Matt Higgins in the first place was that when he was the executive vice president of the New York Jets, he forced himself to be on the Internet, asking all the players to interact with the fans online.

He even set the so-called Twitter rules

This is a very thoughtful, creative young man

The elderly Stephen Ross felt that he was in need of such a person around him.

So, he set up EB to specialize in venture capital, with Matt Higgins in charge.

The two stood side by side in front of the elevator door and waited.

"I just received Charley's WeChat, and I heard that the progress in Europe is not going well," Stephen Ross frowned and said with an annoyed expression.

Matt Higgins was a little curious, "What's going on?" Didn't we work well together before? ”

"I don't know exactly what the situation is, Charlie is already waiting up there" Stephen Rose sighed deeply.

Nowadays, the competitive pressure in all walks of life is increasing.

Especially in recent years, the U.S. economy has not improved much, and almost all walks of life are struggling.

Matt Higgins didn't say anything more.

As soon as the elevator arrived, the two walked in.

Stephen Ross is Charlie, the CEO of the famous American sports marketing company E, Charlie Tieritano, a middle-aged American who originally looked shrewd.

But now, this middle-aged American man is in an office in an office building, pacing back and forth in a hurry, looking very impatient.

It wasn't until there was movement outside, and there was a knock on the door, that he called out and came in.

Stephen Ross and Matt Higgins opened the door and closed it again.

It's a very interesting pair, old and young.

On weekdays, when the three of them get together, they always make some jokes, but today, they are in no mood.

Especially when I saw the worried expression on Chariti Ritano's worried face.

"What the hell is going on, Charlie?" As soon as Stephen Rose entered the door, he asked.

Matt O. Higgins is also concerned.

The North American Invitational, this is an event that they take very seriously, and they can't afford to make a mistake

"In the past, as is customary, I sent invitations to many big teams in Europe, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United."

"Hmm" Stephen Ross nodded, this is normal, it is not normal if you don't send it.

"But ......"

"But what?" Stephen Rose urged impatiently.

Chalitilitano spread his hands, "But...... They all refused."

"What?" Matt Higgins was stunned.

Rao is an old and serious person, and at the same time Stephen Rose, who has long been mentally prepared, can't help but be shocked.

"All refused?" Stephen Ross shuddered and asked, "How is this possible?" ”

Charitilitano smiled wryly, but nodded in affirmation.

"Yes, all refused"

After a pause, he told why.

"Because, before we do, there is a plan to organize an event in the United States called the International Champions Cup"
