Chapter 780: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions

"Hello, Louis!"

Luis Felipe Vieira, who walked up with a smile, shook hands.

The Champions League final was held at Benfica's Stadium of Light, although the stadium has been requisitioned by UEFA, but Benfica is still the host in the end, so it naturally takes on the role of the host to receive guests.

"Young Master Huan, let me introduce you!" Vieira immediately turned away.

Next to him stood a middle-aged Portuguese man in his early fifties, but with gray hair, a pair of glasses, a black suit, a blue tie, and a very friendly smile, but with a little bit of the majesty of a superior.

As soon as Yang Huan saw him, he immediately recognized it, this is not the one he just met two days ago, the mayor of Lisbon, Antonio Luis dos Santos da Costa.

The mayor, in addition to being mayor of Lisbon, is now a very important member of the ruling Social Democratic Party, and is said to be interested in running for prime minister.

Oh, by the way, his father seems to be a very famous writer, so the topic is very much to talk about literature.

But it is clear that Antonio da Costa is not the man Vieira wants to highlight.

Because, with the finger of Vieira's hand, the mayor of Lisbon consciously stepped aside.

At this time, Yang Huan noticed an old man in his seventies, and his first impression was Gao.

But soon, he remembered.

Isn't this the president of Portugal, AnΓ­bal Antonio Cavaco Silva?

"Oh, hello, President Silva!" Yang Huan immediately smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan, welcome to Lisbon!"

"Thank you!" Yang Huan smiled and thanked him.

"This is ......," President Silva noticed Zhuang Ziqing, who was standing next to Yang Huan.

"My wife, Zhuang Ziqing!"

"Oh, beautiful and touching Miss Zhuang, I'm so glad to meet you!"

Zhuang Ziqing is also a person who is used to seeing big scenes, and immediately smiled and saluted him, "Thank you, President Silva!" ”

This made Su Jingyan, who was standing not far behind Yang Huan, a little stunned.

"The presidents of Portugal are here? Am I right? ”

But looking at Zhuang Ziqing accompanying Yang Huan and talking generously to the President of Portugal and the Mayor of Lisbon, she also had to admire, in the end, everyone is beautiful, and what she has seen in the world is different.

If you were to change yourself and suddenly see the President of Portugal, wouldn't your feet tremble?

On the other hand, Zhuang Ziqing and Yang Huan, standing together, are indeed talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven.

"In Europe, football is not only football, but also a very important social channel, so for some important football matches, many political and business celebrities will gather on the stadium, and it is not uncommon for the country's top leaders to attend in person."

After hearing Zhang Ning say this, Su Jingyan understood a little.

"In this way, Yang Huan's previous Saints fan club charged 100,000 pounds per person, and it was really not a mess!"

"Of course, you think that rich people are fools? Do you know who is among the members? The future King of England, Prince William, the sole heir of the Grosvenor family, the sole heir of the British House of Cork, the only son of the Prime Minister of Qatar ......"

"The impact of so many people coming together, even if it's just doing nothing, is quite amazing!"

Zhang Ning's words made Su Jingyan think so.

On the surface, foreign countries, especially developed countries such as Europe and the United States, have sound laws, and it seems that there will be no corruption, but in fact, this idea is very wrong.

It's not that these countries are free of corruption**, on the contrary, their corruption is very, very serious.

It's just that they're more secretive and smarter!

While Su Jingyan was thinking, Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing had already chatted with the Portuguese president and others in front.

"Mr. Yang Huan, I have just returned from a visit to China!" President Silva said.

Yang Huan also paid attention to this news.

According to domestic media reports, the Portuguese president led the largest delegation in history to China.

"I have always attached great importance to the development of relations with China, and I have always been able to increase the economic and trade relations between the two sides, and we very much welcome Chinese investors to invest in Portugal, and at the same time, we are very grateful for the important role that Chinese investors have played in the economic development of our country in the past few years!"

In the past few years, a lot of real estate in Portugal has been sold to investors from China.

Even at Lisbon International Airport, as soon as you walk out of the departure hall, you can see real estate advertisements written in Chinese.

Therefore, President Silva's remarks are not surprising.

"When I was in China, I also mentioned you when I talked to your top leaders!"

"Really?" Yang Huan really didn't know.

"Yes, he thinks highly of you, and I, jokingly, mentioned that you already have a fairly large investment in many countries in Europe, including the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France and Germany, so why not consider us in Portugal?"

Yang Huan really didn't expect that he would become a topic of conversation when the leaders of the two countries met.

That's too big, isn't it?

It feels sour, though, and I love it!

"Mr. President, I am very willing to come to Portugal to invest and I am always looking for opportunities!" Yang Huan said with a smile.

This is really not a polite remark, but the truth.

If you want to talk about Portugal, there is really nothing to value in the industry.

But when it comes to tourism resources, Portugal is quite outstanding, even in the world, it is famous.

"Really?" President Silva laughed, "It is our honor to attract young talents like Mr. Yang Huan to invest in Portugal, and we want to not only welcome them, but also give them great support!" ”

At a time when the Portuguese economy is already in trouble, and even many banks have failed in the country, as well as a debt crisis, in this case, it has become a very important means to attract foreign investors.

To put it mildly, Portugal now has to lower its value and try to invite foreign investors to buy the bottom.

"Actually, Mr. President, I've always been interested in Portuguese football and youth training, you know, our country is now stepping up its efforts to develop football, and we're even thinking about arranging a group of young players to go to major European clubs every year to get professional training."

After hearing this, President Silva nodded his head again and again, which he also mentioned during his visit to China.

Portugal's youth training is indeed good, although in recent years, there has not been a talent blowout like Spain and Germany, but the development of players has always been stable.

Of course, due to various reasons, Portugal's stars in recent years have not been able to reach the overall heights of the golden generation such as Figo and Rui Costa, but there are still emerging talents like Cristiano Ronaldo.

And, to some extent, the Portuguese style is also very much in line with the characteristics of the Chinese, especially the southerners.

When Yang Huan said this, the words changed, "However, I know that the current football environment in Portugal is very complicated, and many teams have various problems, even in terms of player training, there are many problems, just like real estate!" ”

The last one can be regarded as Yang Huan's protest for his compatriots in China.

Because there are many investors from the country who buy houses in Portugal and end up being deceived.

Of course, the Portuguese government does not support this kind of behavior, but it is also somewhat inactive.

"Mr. Yang Huan, regarding the question of real estate investment, please believe that we will give a satisfactory answer in the shortest possible time!" President Silva is also worried that the country's poor investment climate will scare away such a large conglomerate.

Not to mention anything else, just for Yang Huan's investments in Madrid and Milan, which are all blockbuster investments of more than ten figures.

"As for the issue of our domestic investment environment, we will do our best to ensure the interests of foreign investors, and the investment and cooperation in football is ...... because it involves a large number of fans."

Vieira, who was on the side, listened and his eyes lit up.

He immediately thought of a piece of news, that is, two days ago, Zhao Yuanfang, the CEO of the famous football investment group from Monaco, came to Portugal and heard that he had contact with Porto, and this company is said to be inextricably linked with Master Huan.

Could it be that Young Master Huan intends to invest in a football club in Portugal?

Yang Huan smiled slightly, "It's okay, take your time, but our company has recently taken a fancy to two or three projects in Lisbon and Lagos, with an investment amount of more than 500 million euros, and I hope the government can complete the procedure as soon as possible!" ”

President Silva's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was generous.

As soon as I made a move, I threw a stone and asked for directions, it was 500 million euros, what is this not a big deal?

But President Silva soon realized that the Chinese were shrewd enough.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, the political, economic, cultural and educational center, not to mention the tourist resources, and can be called one of the most famous tourist cities in Europe.

And what about Lagus?

Ordinary people have certainly not heard of it, but as a Portuguese, President Silva knows very well that Lagos claims to have the most beautiful coastline and sandy beaches in Europe, and in this small town in the southwest corner of the European continent, you can enjoy the invincible Atlantic Ocean view at 360 degrees.

Although the world-famous Cabo da Roca is known as the end of the world for Europeans, what about it?

Only those who really know how to appreciate the scenery will know that the Lagos is the real end of the world, because it is only here that you can enjoy the most beautiful Atlantic sea views.

And with the rise of tourism in Portugal in recent years, Lagos has received more and more attention and attention.

But at least for now, there is considerable investment potential here.

From this alone, it can be seen that this Young Master Huan is not as profligate as rumored outside, on the contrary, he is very shrewd, but it can also be seen that he is indeed sincere in coming to Portugal to invest.

"Okay, Mr. Yang Huan, I remember, I will definitely arrange someone to follow up when I go back!" President Silva assured with a smile.

"As for the matter of investing in football clubs, we will also consider it carefully and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

Yang Huan laughed, "Then I'll thank President Silva first!" ”

The two exchanged a few polite words again, and after talking a lot of scenes, the Portuguese president and others confessed and left.

During this period, he even mentioned that he hoped that if there was an opportunity, Southampton could bring in more players from Portugal.

This made Yang Huan feel funny.

Because, among the two teams participating in the Champions League final, there is not a single Portuguese player!

However, Yang Huan also has a countermeasure, and immediately mentioned that Southampton is working on the introduction of Benfica's midfield hopeful, Bernardo Silva, and Braga's Rafa Silva.

Both players are Portugal's hopefuls, with Rafa, who is 20 years old, already impressive in the Braga first team and has been named in Portugal's national team, dubbed Portugal's Eden Hazard.

As for Bernardo Silva, he is younger, only 19 years old, and is regarded as Benfica's most promising midfield talent, known as Portugal's Messi, which shows that he has extraordinary potential.

Southampton are preparing for the future, and with two players with great potential and low value, they have bought them and continued to play on loan at Benfica and Braga.

If they can perform well in the future, there is a natural opportunity to go further.

Conversely, if the development is not as expected, then the saints will consider cashing them out.

It's a big deal, it's just a loss of money!

This is also one of the means of European Haoqiang material selection.

That is, after Yang Huan saw off the Portuguese president and others, the staff of the stadium walked into the VIP lounge and informed everyone that the game was about to start, and they VIP guests could enter!
