In the scorching summer, the scorching sun seemed to be unable to scorch the surface. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But unlike the hot weather outside, the castle villa where Xiao Yu lives is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the hot temperature in summer seems to be insulated from here, even if you don't turn on the air conditioner, you won't feel hot here.
When Xiao Yu opened his eyes from the bed, the first thing he saw was the dazzling sunlight outside, which shook him a little and he couldn't open his eyes, and he got up from the bed while pounding his uncomfortable temples.
People in their thirties are not as good as young people, and their bodies and bones are not as good as before!
Sometimes, Xiao Yu really feels that time flies quickly, when he first came to this world, it seemed like it was just yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, 9 years have passed.
In the past 9 years, he has adapted to everything here, to having a gentle and lovely fiancée at home, a smart and clever son; Accustomed to having a group of good friends and colleagues by his side, they all created the glory of the Red Rebels.
Occasionally looking back, Xiao Yu still feels incredible, he can't believe it, all this is really created by himself, and it is the same now, he is lying on the bed, squinting, everything seems to be a dream, as if if if he pays attention, he will find himself back in the narrow and simple dormitory in his previous life.
But when Eva? When Snow walked into the room, he couldn't help but laugh!
It's all true, very, very true!
"You're awake!" Eva? Snow went to the side of the bed, lowered his head and kissed Xiao Yu on the forehead, "Do you want to eat something?" ”
Xiao Yu half-lay on the bed and yawned, "What time is it now?" ”
"It's past 2 p.m.!" Eva? Snow laughed at it, "You drank too much last night." ”
Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, he did drink too much last night, but that was also because he was too happy.
People, there is always a time to celebrate, if it is always as plain as boiled water, then what is the taste of life?
"Whatever!" Xiao Yu got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom, "By the way, what about Chopin?" ”
"Playing in the garden!" Eva? Snow made up the bed.
Although there are servants in the family, there are some things she just likes to do on her own, which is obviously inherited from her mother, a somewhat traditional Chinese woman.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Xiao Yu came to the balcony on the second floor, where the sun was on his back, and there was a breeze passing through, which was very cool.
"It seems that the headlines on the front page of today's newspaper are not unexpected!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.
The Red Rebels won three consecutive Champions League titles and four more crowns this season, if the media don't know how to hype up such content, then Xiao Yu really thinks that these media should go home and eat themselves.
While eating breakfast, while looking at Chopard swinging in the courtyard downstairs, having a lot of fun, Xiao Yu's heart swelled with a sense of satisfaction, he really found that he was getting more and more satisfied now, maybe he was old!
"Just now the agent called from London, saying that our island is almost ready, let's find a chance to go over and have a look, if there is anything dissatisfied, so that we can rectify it in time!" Eva? Snow came to the opposite side of Xiao Yu, sat down, watched him eat breakfast, and said.
The idea of buying an island has been around for a long time, and he's been hooked on it since he's been in the Caribbean for a vacation, so he's been keeping an eye out for island deals there.
At the Oscars at the beginning of this year, Xiao Yu paid tribute to Eva? After Snow's marriage proposal was successful, he wanted to get married, at first he wanted to get married in an ancient castle like Beckham, but he felt that it was not good, after all, Britain was too eye-catching, so he wanted to buy a small island overseas and organize a wedding.
At this time, there is a rich man near the Caribbean who wants to sell the island in his hand, Xiao Yu and Eva? Snow went there a few times and stayed there for a while, and was very satisfied with everything there and the facilities were complete, so he decided to buy it.
Located near the Virgin Islands, with a total area of 20 square kilometers, the island is well equipped with facilities and living conditions, as well as a private airport and port, which can easily enter and exit Xiao Yu's family.
After spending more than 20 million pounds to buy this small island, Xiao Yu modified the island, in addition to renovating the villa on the island, he also added some facilities that he thought were necessary, such as communication facilities, Xiao Yu just wanted to avoid the hustle and bustle, avoid the distraction, but it did not mean that he really wanted to live that kind of isolated seclusion.
With this communication system, Xiao Yu can communicate and contact with any place in the world on the island without hindrance, and with the addition of private helicopters and private ports, Xiao Yu's helicopters and yachts can reach the largest island in the vicinity in the shortest possible time.
Of course, during the time of Xiao Yu's marriage, Xiao Dao will invite some servants to help, and guests will also be invited to the island to watch the ceremony, but after that, Xiao Dao will refuse to visit, unless Xiao Yu and his wife can invite them.
The island is surrounded by a large area of sea, so you don't have to worry about getting into trouble, and there are sports facilities on the island, you can also climb the mountain, and of course, you can also contact the outside world, watch any TV program in the world, but you don't have to worry about being disturbed by the outside world, it is simply an ideal life.
"Okay, let's go over and have a look at it then!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.
The Red Rebel's affairs are over, and he is going to start busy with his wedding.
Him and Eva? Snow's wedding can be said to be world-watching, although he personally does not want to receive such attention, but in fact, the whole world is paying attention to them, after all, they are all world-renowned figures, and it is naturally impossible for such a big thing as marriage not to be noticed, which is why Xiao Yu decided to hold a wedding on a small island in the Caribbean Sea.
…………………… The day after the Red Rebels won the Champions League, in addition to the news about the Red Rebels' quadruple achievement, there were also two acquisitions that were being plotted.
Both acquisitions feature some of the biggest teams in English football, Manchester United and Arsenal.
Manchester United's finances have been strapped since they were bought by the Glazer family, and over the years Ferguson has spent money on several potential stars such as Robinho, Diego, Quaresma and Carrick, and compared to rivals such as Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea, Manchester United has made a small move.
As David? As Gill said in an interview not long ago, the current debt burden of Manchester United has caused the team to simply cannot afford the failure of Veron-style acquisitions, nor can it afford large-scale acquisitions like Veron and Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Ferguson can only play the idea of young players.
However, with the introduction of the Premier League's mandatory fiscal health policy, which requires all Premier League clubs to achieve financial health within the timetable given by the Premier League, and at the same time, through a series of measures to suppress the Glazer family's efforts to continue to squeeze Manchester United's commercial operations, the Glazer family has long been disheartened.
At the moment, the Glazer family has only two options, the first is to go bankrupt, and the second is to sell Manchester United and ask for bank debt, because the Premier League has made it clear that Manchester United must be separated from debt.
In the end, the Glazer family chose the latter, and there are indeed many asset predators interested in Manchester United, including the Qatari royal family, who also hope to expand their influence by buying Manchester United, and they are rich enough to not only solve the current predicament of Manchester United, but also provide a large transfer fee for Ferguson.
For the current Manchester United, being acquired by the Qatari royal family is undoubtedly a good ending, the mood of the fans is also very stable, and the players have not made much movement, just waiting for the results of the negotiations between the Glazer family and the Qatari royal family.
Unlike Manchester United's takeover battle, which is a price tug-of-war, Arsenal's takeover has already come to fruition.
Russian super-rich Usmanov will buy all the shares of Arsenal for a total of 800 million pounds. Dunn personally hosted and planned it, and after announcing the completion of the deal, David? Dunn will serve as Arsenal's CEO, with full authority to represent Usmanov on Arsenal matters.
In fact, Usmanov is David? Dunn personally brought in Arsenal's management, and he has always believed that if Arsenal wants to make a career in today's Premier League, they must know how to keep pace with the times and attract outside money to strengthen themselves.
After Usmanov invested in the acquisition of Arsenal, he will inject 50 million pounds into the transfer market for Arsene Wenger as soon as possible, which is only the first money, and he assured that after the transfer market opens, he will further evaluate whether to continue to invest in the team.
Of course, these investments are done by way of buying shares, not debts!
This was undoubtedly a move for Arsene Wenger, who had long been ambitious to make a difference.
None of the players in the Arsenal squad this season have satisfied Arsene Wenger, Rosicky is capable but has too many injuries, Nasri is still young and cannot take on the responsibility of the team for the time being, Wenger hopes to bring in Gourcuff from AC Milan who is not valued by Tasottti, the French midfielder is a star he is very optimistic about.
In the past, when there was no money, Wenger could only watch from a distance and did not dare to covet it, but now that he has money in hand, although he has not yet received it, it does not prevent Wenger from dreaming of being a rich man at all.
In addition to Gourcuff, Wenger also wants to strengthen the attack, he is optimistic about Lyon's Benzema, he thinks Benzema has the potential to become a second Henry, he is very optimistic about him, and Benzema also thinks that it is good to play for Wenger, and the relationship between Olas and Wenger is also good, and the two sides can sit down and talk.
Benzema's problem is that the price is expensive, but with Usmanov's commitment, Wenger can be free to negotiate, even if he faces top giants such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona this time, but Wenger's adjustment of Anelka and Henry has undoubtedly brought Arsenal closer to Benzema.
Arsene Wenger also wants to join the backline, and he has his eye on Auxerre's full-back Sania and Roma's French centre-back Mex, but coincidentally, both players are also on Ferguson's eye, especially Mex, who has been following him for years.
In addition to recruitment, Wenger hopes to keep the team's star Henry as much as possible, the French striker's desire to leave the team is no secret, Wenger had no money before, and moved to sell Henry in exchange for a transfer fee and rebuild the team, but now that he has money, Henry should stay in the team.
Arsene Wenger's abacus is also very shrewd, with the current strength of Arsenal, if he really gets these strong reinforcements and runs in well, Arsenal's strength can improve by leaps and bounds, and Arsenal will become more competitive next season.
The transfer market this season is very lively, in addition to Wenger's eye-catching Benzema, Gourcuff and Mex, Atletico Madrid's Torres also wants to go, the Red Rebels' Robben and McConn, Chelsea's Veron, West Ham United's Tevez and Melo, Lyon's Malouda and others are also clamoring for transfers.
Each of these stars is in charge, and they have all proven their stars in their respective leagues, each of them is worth a lot of money, and these players are leaving, which is bound to bring a huge chain effect to the transfer market of the entire European football, further intensifying the excitement of the transfer market.
In addition to the players in the five major leagues, players from other sub-leagues in Europe have also caused many teams to compete, such as Pepe of Porto, and Anderson, known as Ronaldinho II, Sporting Lisbon Jr. Ronaldina Nani, the young striker Pato of the Red Rebels on loan at Ajax, and Feyenoord's Rente.
The quality of these players is not in doubt, and the price is not high, making them the second tier of the transfer market.
Originally, the media thought that these players should become supporting roles in the transfer market, and the real top names should be produced in stars such as Robben and McConn, but no one expected that the first transfer that was agreed upon first reached reached 30 million euros.
Porto's main central defender Pepe transferred to Real Madrid for a sky-high price of 30 million euros, which is also the highest central defender transfer purchased by Florentino, and it also makes many people laugh that this season's Florentino is obviously going to pay off the debts in the back line in previous seasons.
In addition to Pepe, Real Madrid are also looking to bring in the Red Rebels' McConn, the 26-year-old Brazil international who is the number one right back in football today and is likely to be worth more than £30 million, or €45 million.
And then there's Alain? Smith's £6 million move from Manchester United to Newcastle United has meant that the striker has not been heavily used by Ferguson at Manchester United, which has made his career at Manchester United not ideal, and he wants to change the environment and hope that his career can improve.
Almost after the completion of this transfer, Manchester United's official website announced that the Glazer family and the Qatari royal family had reached a consensus, and the latter officially bought Manchester United!
