Chapter 970: For or Against?
A luxurious top-of-the-line Bentley sailed from Southampton's Beltway to the Royal Docks.
As I passed by the House of the Saints, the windows rolled down, revealing the faces of several people sitting inside.
The most conspicuous of all, without doubt, is the owner of Chelsea, Roman Abramovich.
Next to him was his personal assistant, Marina Granovskia.
At this moment, Granovskia was pointing to the House of Saints at the headquarters in Southampton through the rolled down window, and introduced: "Boss, that's the House of Saints!" ”
Abramovich looked out of the car window and found that the shape of the headquarters building in Southampton was very unique and original, and it was very interesting, and at first glance it was the work of a famous artist.
It is said that in recent years, the field of architectural design has become famous and recognized as the future master, the handiwork of Chinese designer Huang Ying.
Interestingly, this House of Saints forms a triangle with the Undersea Hotel and Glory Square on the sea, which should be more interesting if viewed from a distance.
"It's now an iconic business district in South London." Granovskia said with admiration.
When it comes to operational ability, Southampton is definitely second to none in the Premier League.
Even Manchester United in recent years have been inferior to the Saints.
In just a few years, he led the Saints from the lower leagues to today's status, and brought such earth-shaking changes to the city of Southampton, who would believe that Yang Huan is just a rich second generation?
"Hmph, it's just that the land is cheap!" Abramovich snorted coldly.
That's how he is, Granovsky has long been used to it.
But anything that is Yang Huan, whether it is good or bad, he can't look at it well.
But there is one thing that must be acknowledged.
That is, Chelsea today, both in terms of attractiveness and appeal, is not as good as before.
Last season's poor results, but Roman Abramovich gambled heavily on Jose Mourinho, and although the team was not relegated in the end, they finished in the bottom half of the table, which has all but ruined Chelsea's aura of giants.
It's unacceptable for a big team to be in a slump for a season, but Chelsea are good enough to have been in a slump for two seasons in a row.
If there is no improvement, I am afraid that the future will be more and more difficult.
Even, if you are not careful, the Blues may well fall out of the Premier League's first group completely.
Bentley made his way to the Royal Docks.
There were uniformed security guards who stopped their cars.
"Hello, we're here for 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 exclusive parking lot, thank you!" ”
"Can't we just drive in?" The driver was a little embarrassed.
Your boss doesn't have the habit of walking!
"I'm sorry, except for the buses of the participating teams on match days, under normal circumstances, we don't allow any vehicles to enter!"
The security guard replied politely, but very firmly.
"But don't worry, we'll have a special shuttle."
The driver turned his head, glanced at his boss, and after getting a nod of agreement, 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 in a hotel uniform got out of the car, respectfully opened the door for them, and arranged for them to get on the bus.
Riding an electric car and riding a car are two very different experiences.
The electric car equipped with the submarine hotel is made in China, which starts quickly and is very powerful, and sitting on it, there is a feeling of pushing back, which is very cool.
What's more, this is obviously a sightseeing car, not to mention the good lighting, the line of sight is also very wide, and you can enjoy everything in the undersea hotel and Glory Plaza without dead ends along the way.
Even if Abramovich is Yang Huan's nemesis, at this moment, he has to admire it in his heart.
It's really like a fairyland!
Don't look at the electric car is electricity, but in fact, the speed is very fast, very stable, plus the beautiful scenery along the way, you will arrive at the place in an instant.
"Hello and welcome to the Undersea Hotel, Mr. Abramovich!"
As soon as Abramovich got out of the car, he was greeted by the hotel lobby manager.
"You know me?" There is something strange about Abramovich.
This is the first time he has come to the undersea hotel, how can anyone know him?
Or are they so famous that they saw it in the newspapers?
That's not right!
Abramovich looked at it again, and felt that the lobby manager was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but if he had to think about it, he couldn't remember.
"I used to be at the Landmark Hotel!" The lobby manager laughed.
"Oh! It's you! It dawned on Abramovich.
Isn't it?
I often went to the Landmark Hotel, so it's no wonder that I think this guy is familiar.
But when did he come to the undersea hotel in Southampton?
Nimei, Yang Huan is not like this, right?
You poached other people's chefs, and ruined their most famous signature afternoon tea.
Well, you even dug up someone's lobby manager.
Don't you want to give people a way to live?
Abramovich had no doubt that the owner of the Landmark Hotel must now be eager to eat Yang Huan's flesh, drink his blood, and scold him for being a bloody dog.
"It turns out that Yang Huan started by poaching, don't doubt it!"
Abramovich turned his head to the side as he walked into the lobby and said indignantly to Granovskia.
The latter almost laughed, and quickly turned his head away.
However, it seems that this is indeed the case.
It is said that the requirements of the employees of this undersea hotel are quite high, and each of them is an excellent talent in the post, and Yang Huan specially poached from some other famous hotels.
So, the boss is really right!
"Are you all here?" Abramovich asked.
"Well, it's all here." The lobby manager said politely.
After the group walked into the lobby, the manager pressed the elevator for them and watched them go down.
Standing in the elevator, I didn't feel much at first.
But as the elevator descended, the surrounding scenery gradually changed.
"Wow, it's really the bottom of the sea!"
Rao is a well-informed person like Abramovich, and he can't help but marvel at the underwater scenery outside through the glass curtain wall of the elevator without obstruction.
And as the elevator slid deeper and deeper, the scenery they saw became more and more beautiful.
Especially when they were on a high vantage point, overlooking the brightly lit hotel buildings deep under the sea, the beautiful feeling almost made the Russians' jaws drop.
Oh my God, this is a miracle!
"Only Yang Huan's guy and the infrastructure capabilities of the Chinese in the world can achieve all this!"
At this moment, Abramovich also had to nod in appreciation.
"Isn't it?" Granovskia also exclaimed, "I heard that Yang Huan is also planning to build two more chain hotels in China, this guy's business is getting bigger and bigger, and his abacus is getting better and better." ”
Abramovich also sighed for a long time, at this point, he really can't admit defeat.
also landed in the UK from abroad, but Yang Huan came to make a lot of money, but he Abramovich came to throw money.
In the past few years, Yang Huan has made more and more money in the UK, which has long made him a famous rich man in the world, but he Abramovich feels a bit empty.
Especially in recent years, the economy has been in a downturn, Russia is facing economic sanctions from European and American countries, and his wealth has shrunk more and more seriously, so he is really helpless to lose in this regard.
To add to his frustration, his Chelsea side had also lost to Southampton on the football pitch.
The mood is depressed, and no matter how good the scenery is, I can't enjoy it.
As soon as the elevator door opened, there were waiters waiting outside and taking them all the way to the conference hall.
The Premier League chairman's 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 be the host instead, and promised to give preferential treatment.
So, the Premier League agreed.
In this kind of trivial matter, the Premier League bosses will not worry about Yang Huan.
But wait, it's not necessarily.
As soon as Abramovich entered the door, he saw that the conference hall was almost full of people.
This conference hall is circular in shape, and except for the section near the corridor, all the others have a beautiful view of the seabed.
Moreover, I don't know if it is a natural survival here, or if the hotel deliberately stocked it, looking out through the curtain wall, you can see a lot of various and colorful live fish swimming around the conference hall.
And the corals, seaweeds, and all kinds of shellfish, it's just beautiful.
So, the moment Abramovich entered, most of the people in the conference hall were standing by the windows, looking through the curtain wall at the underwater world outside, apparently amazed at the ingenuity of the place.
"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 that he's the host today, and if he's late again, it's really unspeakable.
"Hello, Young Master Huan!" Abramovich also squeezed out a smile, "You are really quite luxurious here, and it is unforgettable!" ”
"Haha, Roman, if you like it, stay here, eat, drink, play, and I'll treat you."
Young Master Huan said very boldly.
"Really? Then I'm really welcome? ”
"Hehe, if you are polite to me, then I will be angry!"
Abramovich smiled again and didn't say anything more, because he knew that Yang Huan must still have something to do.
Sure enough, after the two chatted for a few words, Yang Huan smiled and asked, "Roman, what do you think about today's topic?" ”
"What do you think?" Abramovich asked rhetorically, pretending to be dumbfounded.
Yang Huan also didn't care, "We Mingren don't say dark words, this matter is beneficial to you and me." ”
Abramovich pursed his lips, shook his head and smiled: "Young Master Huan, you won't forget, right?" We finished 14th last season and belong to the middle and lower teams! ”
"Come on!" Yang Huan waved his hand, "Who doesn't know that it's only temporary, adjust it and invest a sum of money to operate, your Chelsea is still an upstream team." ”
The professional league is like this, the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimp.
Chelsea may not be able to buy top players right now, but it is still possible to dig up players from mid-to-lower teams.
The downturn in the last two seasons is more like a labor pain, and it will be relieved after getting through it.
"Frankly, Roman!" Yang Huan stared at Abramovich and said word by word, "In the past few years, you must have thought about this matter, and now that the opportunity has come, if you miss it, I am afraid there will be no next time in the future." ”
Abramovich understood what Yang Huan meant.
As the saying goes, the opportunity must not be lost and never come again!
"Now is not the time to be angry, Roman!" Yang Huan said in a tone of admonition, even a little lesson.
"We're talking about what's at stake, and you have to be clear about what you stand for, for or against?"
