A tall Englishman, dressed in a black suit, tied with a red, green and gold tie, covered with a large windbreaker, stepping on shiny leather shoes, his hands in the pockets of his trench coat, looking around like a thief, as if he was afraid that he was going to the wrong place.

The old security guard at the door saw this sneaky guy at a glance and was about to come over and chase him out.

Recently, the youth team and the reserve team of the new Manchester United have played quite well, especially those young players, which are very energetic, but because of this, there are a lot of sneaky guys near the Newton Heath training base, some are scouts from other clubs, and some are agents, but no matter who they are, they are all blocked by the old security guards.

He was just about to speak when Xiao Yu walked over from the side, stopped him with a smile, and then walked over.

"Hello, friend, are you a thief?" Xiao Yu asked with a grin.

The other party was taken aback, turned around and saw Xiao Yu, and immediately rushed up laughing, hugged him tightly, and patted him on the back vigorously, "I was almost scared to death by your kid, Xiao Yu, you want to kill me!" ”

"Me too, Mark!" Xiao Yu hugged Mark David tightly, they hadn't seen each other for a while.

Although Xiao Yu also often goes to the United States and hires Mark David's brother John to do things, when he goes to the United States, Mark is basically in school, which makes the two not see each other much for more than two years.

"Why did you get back, Mark?" Waiting for Mark David to let go of his hand, Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

David shook his head, "It's boring in the United States, so why don't I run back as soon as I have time?" ”

After saying that, he browsed the Newton Heath training base even more boldly than just now, and he found that this base was fantastic, completely different from when he went, there was everything, there were several training grounds, and they were well isolated, and there was a training building, next to the administrative building, and in the distance was the laboratory.

God, it's only been less than three years, and the entire training base has become like this.

David was dumbfounded and speechless!

"Let me see, who's back?" Walsh saw the figure from a distance, and thought it was someone, but when he got closer, he realized that it was Mark David who had returned, and immediately rushed up.

The two hugged each other and laughed happily.

"You kid is really not interesting, you have been in the United States for so long, you don't call, you don't notice when you come back, I'll ask Jim to pick you up!" Walsh is the oldest of several die-hards, so he is also the most paternal, and he cares for these young dead-ends, just like the eldest brother in the family.

"I just came back, you can see I almost couldn't find a place, I was at the gate just now, I almost thought I was at Manchester City's training base!" David smiled awkwardly.

"How can Manchester City's training base be as good as ours?" Walsh spat dismissively.

Indeed, if you want to talk about the training base alone, the new Manchester United will not dare to compare with Manchester United and Arsenal, but it is more than enough than Manchester City.

"I think so, that's why I didn't do it, if it was really Manchester City's training base, I would have smashed the gate with a stone!" David laughed exaggeratedly.

Xiao Yu shook his head after listening to it, "Your kid has been studying in the United States for so long, but he hasn't learned John's surname." ”

When David heard this, he immediately grabbed Xiao Yu's shoulder, "I said Xiao Yu, I definitely can't be as dull as my eldest brother in my life, do you know what he likes to watch the most?" Opera, oh my God, I just didn't find anything nice about that thing, was it football? ”

Walsh gently swept David's head and teased, "You kid still can't leave football!" ”

David was very happy with this evaluation, and nodded happily: "That's natural, but the football desert in the United States is really not empty, and I feel depressed when I watch the game, so I decided that after I come back, I won't leave and stay in the UK!" ”

"Does your eldest brother know?" Xiao Yu naturally agrees, who likes good friends to be so far away, and has time to get together more, that's good, chatting and drinking, watching the ball game, that's fun.

"I know, although he wants me to stay in the United States, but I graduated, he feels that he can't control me, give me freedom, and if he doesn't work, I'll mess with him, how about it, Xiao Yu, please don't invite me?"

Xiao Yu looked at Walsh, smiled helplessly and shook his head, he really couldn't do anything about this kid.

"It's all John's idea about the company, you should ask your eldest brother, if he thinks you are capable, he will invite you, no more, it's always okay to do chores and sweep the floor, right, Andy?"

Walsh nodded with laughter after hearing this, obviously agreeing with Xiao Yu's words one hundred percent.

"Hey, brother, I'm not talking about your company, I'm talking about the club!" David said with a serious face.

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and looked at Walsh, who was also a little surprised, "You want to come back to the club to help?" ”

"Of course, I said it back then, I'll be back!" David didn't think it was a big deal.

"But I heard John say that you are a graduate of Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, and we can afford to hire you?" Xiao Yu smiled a little.

David saw Xiao Yu and Walsh's expressions, and his face was helpless, "Okay, I'll say it again, I'm serious, Xiao Yu!" ”

At this time, Xiao Yu and Walsh both knew that David was not joking.

"Although my eldest brother likes me to study finance with him, I secretly went to study business marketing on my own, you know I'm not interested in those numbers games, I prefer you to bargain back and forth, just like football."

Xiao Yu is not worried about David's lack of ability, in fact, the Stanford University Business School has very strict requirements for graduates, in addition to solid theory, and must have social practice, so David can graduate, which proves that his ability meets the requirements of the professors of the college.

"I just love football, I'm coming back to work for you, I can do business development for your club, I can help you find a whole bunch of sponsors, you know? I just went to City Stadium and it sucks, there's not even a billboard. ”

Xiao Yu and Walsh glanced at each other and smiled bitterly in unison.

"Mark, it's not that there are no billboards, it's that people are not interested in advertising sponsorship of the English League!"

"Who said that?" David immediately asked, "We are Red Rebels, not to mention anything else, just for our name and history, do you know how much advertising value there is?" ”

Xiao Yu and Walsh are not experts in this regard, so naturally they don't know how to refute it.

"Okay, Xiao Yu, I know what you're hesitating about, it's better to do this, I'll make an agreement with you, give me a month, I'll help you get the sponsorship for the second half of the season, if you hire me successfully, I'll solve it myself on my eldest brother's side, okay?"

In this case, can Xiao Yu still refuse?

"Okay, Mark, I'll give you a chance, and frankly, I don't doubt your ability, nor do I doubt your feelings for the team, even if you've been gone for more than two years, I've decided to hire you!"

Mark David immediately cheered when he heard this.

In fact, Xiao Yu has been pondering recently, whether it should set up a business development department for the club, because after the promotion to the professional league, the new Manchester United has not made much progress in commercial development, this year's sponsorship is that the chest advertisement was bought by a local beer company in Manchester, the jersey sponsorship is Xiao Yu's investment in Umbro, and then there are some fragmentary sponsorships, but the stadium billboards and team sponsors and other aspects of sponsorship have never been found.

Now that Mark David is back, Xiao Yu feels that he should start to set up a business department, and the business development of a club is essential, otherwise, it is not a good thing to blindly rely on Xiao Yu to inject funds.

In addition, proper business development is also a means to attract and retain fans, for example, Manchester United will launch a team magazine and some supporting products every year, attracting many members to buy, this kind of business operation is very good, fans will not be disgusted.

"Don't say anything else, let's go to dinner together, I'll have a treat!" Xiao Yu's proposal was immediately cheered by Walsh and Davy, and they even began to call to find someone to book a place.

"Eh, Xiao Yu, call your girlfriend out too, Mark hasn't seen her yet!" Walsh said suddenly.

"How do you know she's back?" Xiao Yu thinks this world is too secretless, right?

Eva Snow arrived on the plane last night, how did Walsh know? Could it be that he is squatting in front of Xiao Yu's house?

Walsh saw Xiao Yu's inquiring eyes and laughed, "You kid was late this morning, you were rarely late before!" ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, it immediately dawned on him, it seemed that every time Eva came back, he would be late in the morning, which was not a big secret in the club.

"Hey, did Xiao Yu get a girlfriend?" After hearing this, David asked with a concerned smile.

"yes, it's beautiful, you ask him yourself!" Walsh pointed to Xiao Yu on the side, and then began to book a place to eat, and he specially chose a place that he was usually reluctant to go, and took advantage of Xiao Yu's invitation to let him have a blood.

"You really know how to keep it a secret, Xiao Yu!" David smiled and pushed Xiao Yu, very happy for his good friend.

Xiao Yu was on the phone and said, "Wait a minute, introduce you to each other!" ”

The three of them got into the car in a hurry, Xiao Yu drove Mark David, Walsh also bought the car himself, and planned to go home to pick up his wife and go to dinner together, and Eva Snow happened to be chatting with Victoria when she received Xiao Yu's call, and after answering the phone, she simply invited the Beckham couple to dinner together, and the latter readily agreed.

The place to eat was near Faulkner Street, not far from Walsh's bars, and it was also the place that the group missed the most, so they were all happy to eat here.

Not long after, the Walsh couple also came, and the four of them gathered in the box, talking and laughing, waiting for someone.

Mark David went to the bathroom and came back mysteriously closing the door of the box.

"Hey, brother, guess who I just met out there?" It looked like the president of the United States was coming.

"Who did you meet? So surprised! Walsh dismissed him disapprovingly.

"Mr. and Mrs. Beckham, they are accompanied by a fairy-like beauty, the most popular actress in Hollywood, Eva Snow, I didn't expect them to eat in this restaurant, tsk, it would be nice if they could meet each other!" David's face was unexpected.

Who knows, just as he finished speaking, the door of the box was opened, and Eva Snow and Beckham were standing outside, talking and laughing.

He was stunned!
