"Michael, something is wrong!"

While Yang Huan was talking on the phone with Thomas Lake and others and discussing countermeasures with Peter Kenyon and others, Alexander Otto was anxiously calling Claude Michael Kuhn in Switzerland in the president's office at the headquarters of the ECE Group in Hamburg, Germany.

As soon as the phone rang, Alexander Otto shouted with an impatient face.

"What's so stressful?" Kuhn was as calm and calm as ever on the phone, "Speak slowly, be detailed." ”

Alexander Otto immediately relayed the news he had received to Kuhn.

He also received the news from a member of the board of directors in Hamburg this morning.

The director, who had been at Kerkhof's house yesterday, had come home and thought that the matter had been too big, so he came to Alexander Otto's side to talk about it, and Otto realized that the problem was serious, so he sent the director away, and immediately called Kuhn.

Knowing what happened, Kuhn was silent for a moment.

"Michael, you say, do you want me to talk to Thomas Lake, or Master Huan now?" Alexander Otto asked eagerly.

"Talk?" Kuhn was a little amused, "What to talk about?" How to talk about it? ”

"Well......," said Alexander Otto, "then tell them what I know, lest they be kept in the dark." ”

"Is this necessary?" Kuhn was still very calm.

Alexander Otto is strange, didn't you obviously support Young Master Huan before?

Why are things like this now, and you are still so calm?

"Let's not say that we shouldn't do this, even if we go, it is estimated that Yang Huan would have received the news a long time ago."

"How is this possible?" Alexander Otto shook his head.

The director who came to talk to him had known him for more than 20 years and had a very strong relationship, so he would tell him such a confidential matter, but Yang Huan, Thomas Lake and others were newcomers, how could they get the news?

"Alexander, you're overestimating that vote!"

"What do you mean?"

"The stupidest thing about Kerkhoff is that he overestimated his influence on the Hamburg board and underestimated the seriousness of the matter.

Alexander Otto understands that the end will be miserable and he will never be able to get involved in football again.

"There are so many people on the board, how many of them are eating at mixed rice under the title of director of Hamburg? And how many of them are paid in Hamburg to make ends meet? And how many people will cherish their wings and refuse to take such a risk with Kerkhof? ”

At this, Kuhn on the phone snorted.

"Human nature is something that is usually not visible, and it will only be truly revealed when it is a critical moment of life and death, and Kerkhoff obviously doesn't realize this, he is self-absorbed when he is the boss!"

When Alexander Otto heard Kuhn say this, he immediately understood.

The reason why his old acquaintance came to find himself was that he wanted to show him the way?

Didn't he also think that Kerkhoff was a bit outrageous in doing this?

Thinking of this, Alexander Otto also had to admire in his heart that Mr. Kuhn was thoughtful.

"Michael, what should we do now?"

"What should I do?"

"yes, you have to do something, right?" Alexander Otto said as a matter of course.

Isn't it time to stand up and take a stand?

But who knows, as soon as he finished saying this, Kuhn laughed on the other side of the phone.

"Alexander, you, still can't see through it."

"What do you mean?" This is the second time Otto has said this.

It is only in front of old-timers like Claude Michael Kuhn that he shows this side of him.

"Yang Huan, although I haven't had much contact, I have learned a little, and looking at his various measures since entering Hamburg, I can also guess that he is ambitious, courageous, and capable, but more importantly, he is very possessive."

Alexander Otto nodded and mumbled, which was also very correct.

Almost all successful people are possessive, aren't they?

"I ask you, what do you think of Kerkhoff's actions this time?" Kuhn asked.

Alexander Otto thought for a while, "Even if he really succeeds, it is estimated that it will bring some trouble to Yang Huan at best, especially some extreme fans, who are estimated to be very dissatisfied with Yang Huan, and even do not rule out putting pressure on the German Football Association." ”

"That's right!" Kuhn nodded, "But you should also know that now that the team's results are so good, even if the truth is revealed, even if the vast majority of Hamburg fans don't like Yang Huan, they will definitely not want to overthrow him, and it should be more important to maintain the current status quo, after all, Hamburg has gone through all these years of tossing, and everyone's hearts are tired, and it is not easy to have the current hope." ”

Alexander Otto understands this sentiment, because he thinks so too.

To a certain extent, they, the fan representatives, really represent the thoughts of the largest part of the group of fans.

"Of course, there will be a small number of extreme fans who protest, but you should know that the German Football Association does not take this kind of thing as seriously as the outside world thinks, RB Leipzig and Carl Zeiss Jena, they are all in this way."

Speaking of this, Kuhn paused, "Moreover, I believe that Yang Huan will not rush into the Bundesliga, he must have done some work before, otherwise, how to explain that Bayern Munich will be willing to sell Gaudino and Hojbjerg to Southampton and then loan to Hamburg?" ”

Alexander Otto also understood, because this is normal.

For people of Yang Huan's level, every decision he makes, there will be a large number of people helping him pave the way and prepare.

It was previously reported that Yang Huan had a very good relationship with Bayern Munich, and it seems that it should be true.

"This part of the extreme fans may be in trouble, but so what? How long can they make trouble? ”

Yes, usually this kind of troublesome fans, it would be good to last a week or two.

Even, some estimates are just to do the show, and then the work should be done, and the work should be done.

You have to take it on this day, don't you?

"What do you think Yang Huan will do next after cleaning up Kerkhof?"

"Uh......" Alexander Otto suddenly realized.

Kuhn is not thinking about the present at all, but about the future.

"When the time comes, he will inevitably have to behave, at the very least, the board of directors still wants it, but it will be his people inside, but if our group of fan representatives stand up now, it's a bit like brushing up on the sense of existence, then when he wants to reorganize the board of directors, where do we go?"

I see!

Alexander Otto thoroughly understood!

Kuhn is right, you can't come forward no matter what, you must remain silent, and you would rather be told by the fans not to do anything, than to speak out, and if you want to speak, you have to wait for the matter to land.

As for who will be the new board of directors, it will be up to Young Master Huan to decide.

Even in the end, it is really necessary to select people from among the fan representatives to serve as the representatives, and it must be Young Master Huan to pick them, not them themselves, or the fans recommend them.

"From another point of view, if Yang Huan is defeated by such a trivial matter, then even if we speak out, what's the use? When the time comes, Kerkhof's words will push us and Yang Huan together. ”

Alexander Otto couldn't help nodding, this ginger is still old and spicy!

"Michael, then I'll call a few other fan representatives immediately, and we'll all avoid it for the next period of time!"

Kuhn nodded, "If you should be on a business trip, you should go on a vacation, if you should be on vacation, you should go on vacation, just don't show up anyway." ”

"Understood!" Alexander Otto laughed.

Other things would be hard, but wouldn't this one be easy?

After hanging up Kuhn's phone, Alexander Otto made several more phone calls in quick succession.

But soon, he thought about it again, and it seemed that there was something wrong, so he pressed the internal code again and called the general manager of his company in.

"I told you about talking to Marvel Football Group about the two shopping malls in Milan and Madrid, how did you talk?" When he entered the door, Alexander Otto asked.

"It went well at first, Mr. Otto, but lately, there have been some problems."

"What's the problem?" Alexander Otto asked, frowning.

"We have met with the CEO of Miracle Football Group, Peter Kenyon a few times before, and the negotiations on the cooperation are going well, but there is a big gap in terms of rent and so on, but we are very confident that we can negotiate because these two projects are the first time and the future is unclear."

Alexander Otto was silent, but apparently listened attentively.

"But recently, I received news that Miracle Football Group suddenly got in touch with several other companies, and one or two of them have made progress, and the attitude towards us is also different from before, very strong, such a change is a little surprising to us, there should be other competitors who offer higher prices."

When Alexander Otto heard this, he immediately raised his head and looked at the subordinate in front of him with bad intentions.

The latter was stared at by the boss like this, and his heart sank for no reason.

"I told you, I've finalized this matter, you just go and negotiate the details with the Miracle Football Group, who told you to talk about it?" Alexander Otto asked angrily.

"Mr. Otto, we used to choose ...... locations."

"Before was before, now is now, can it be the same?" Alexander Otto didn't let him continue.

"You said they had just been completed, but if you go to Southampton and see how popular Glory Plaza is now, how popular Southampton's points system and authorization system are with our partners, can this be the same as we used to?"

The general manager was trained to be speechless and did not dare to say anything.

Alexander Otto also regretted in his heart, blaming himself for not making it clear in the first place, so that his subordinates would be mistaken.

It is estimated that Miracle Football Group contacts other partners, more or less also has the meaning of beating itself.

They now have the initiative in the negotiations, and they will either listen to them or not cooperate with them.

But Alexander Otto had a lot of heart in mind? I am so happy that the young master has this set of gameplay.

No, not long ago, Southampton even released a statement that if the team can win the Club World Cup and become the world champion in December, every season ticket holder can go to Glory Square for free to receive a special souvenir, and it is also a limited edition.

As for the usual gift cards and vouchers on the official website and mobile app, there are more such activities.

To put it bluntly, Southampton's whole game has one purpose, which is to gather everyone to Glory Square as much as possible.

And what are these people doing here?

Eat, drink, play, have fun, you have to consume everything!

This is too much temptation for merchants, is there wood?

Imagine that Southampton is a small city that can have this effect, but what about Madrid and Milan?

You know, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan are quite influential in their respective cities.

That's why Alexander Otto values this collaboration.

Thinking of this, Alexander Otto thought for a moment, shook his head and stood up.

"Forget it, you go and prepare, I'll go to Monaco myself!"
