"There are so many people in your Glory Square?"

Sitting in the car that was dedicated to the Southampton Club reception of the Lagonda Conqueror, Florentino was on the Royal Tanker Terminal and overlooked the Plaza de Glory on the other side.

Although the league has ended, although there are no activities or festivals today, and it is even just past three o'clock in the afternoon, there are already a steady stream of pedestrians in Glory Square.

At the Royal Cruise Terminal, in the huge bus stop area, buses come and go, and each stop will bring a large number of fans and guests. Judging from the bus stop signs, there are even intercity buses in surrounding cities such as Winchester, Eastley and Portsmouth.

Just now, Florentino headed south from London and entered the city from the newly opened Municipal Avenue. You can see along the way that the entire old city renovation project in Southampton is in full swing.

Now, he is undoubtedly very sure that Honor Square will be the most lively and prosperous commercial district in Southampton after the renovation of the entire old city, and even there is a considerable potential to explore here.

After accompanying Florentino to visit here, Peter Kenyon, CEO of Southampton, heard the question of Mr. Florentino, laughed and nodded, "Yes, this is usually the case. If it is at night or on game day, there will be more people."

Florentino nodded constantly. He was engaged in construction and real estate, so of course he knew what this meant.

What really impressed Florentino in Southampton was Yang Huan's courage.

He actually made up his mind to build this amazing artificial island and the dreamy underwater hotel on the sea surface of the Sorent Strait from scratch. These two projects alone invested huge sums of money.

But because of the artificial island of the court and the undersea hotel, the surrounding vitality has been driven.

With the Qatar consortium that is not short of money as a backing, and with the Grosvenor Group, which is both good at both domestic and domestic business in the UK, the renovation of the entire Southampton old city is natural.

But even Florentino, who is a real estate tycoon, has to admire this feat.

They were like building a beautiful city on the entire south coast of England with money!

This kind of thing is not new to the rich people in the Middle East. It is like this in Dubai and Doha. They have long been used to it.

Florentino also had a premonition that with this round of craze, more investors and consortiums will inevitably flow into the city immediately afterwards.

For example, Florentino knew that BAA, the largest airport operator in the UK, which is controlled by the Spanish Railways, has been considering renovating and expanding Southampton Airport. Obviously, they are also aware of the city's potential.

It is completely foreseeable that within a few years, Southampton will become the most dazzling emerging city on the South Coast of Britain.

Oh, no, it should be considered a revival!

"Let's go, let's go to St. Mary!" Peter Kenyon said with a smile.

Florentino had no objection, so he nodded and agreed.

The driver turned the front of the car and headed straight for St. Mary's Stadium.

Near the Royal Cruise Terminal, Peter Kenyon also specially introduced a construction site with a foundation that had been laid and built the first floor. It will be the future administrative headquarters in Southampton. The name is all called Saints House.

Since Southampton's home court will be officially moved to the Glory Stadium in the new season, St. Mary's Stadium is basically no longer used.

According to the original plan, St. Mary's Stadium should be demolished, but considering that the Southampton administrative office has not been moved yet, the demolition project has not moved for the time being, but the surrounding area of ​​the stadium has begun to be demolished, and the movement is quite big.

But in the eyes of real estate businessmen like Florentino, the more the noise, the brighter the future.

This also reminded him of the Bernabeu Stadium in Real Madrid.

Didn’t he think about building the Bernabeu Stadium into a commercial ecosystem like Southampton?

However, the internal interests of Real Madrid are very complicated, and many things are not something that he can do with just a chairman, so sometimes he can only think about it and envy it.

"Come on, Florentino, please come inside!"

After Peter Kenyon got off the car, he politely invited Florentino to St. Mary's Stadium.

"Mr. Kenyon!" As soon as the front desk lady in the lobby saw them coming in, she immediately stood up and said hello.

"Well, is Mr. Huan here?" Peter Kenyon asked.

"Here came ten minutes ago." The front desk lady replied.

Florentino felt a little unhappy when he heard this.

If you want to talk about this Young Master Huan, the score is a little bigger, right?

When he arrived at the Bernabeu, he came out to greet him in person, but when he came, he was obviously there, but he was hiding without seeing anyone?

What is this?

But soon, he forgot to care about such trivial matters.

Peter Kenyon said: "You inform Mr. Huan and say that Mr. Perez has arrived."

"Oh, but Young Master Huan said just now, if Mr. Perez arrives, let Mr. Kenyon treat you first. He has something to do for the moment, so..."

"What's the matter?" Peter Kenyon asked.

"The Manchester United guy is here!"

Manchester United?

Florentino was also shocked. Why did Manchester United come?

"Why is Manchester United coming at this time? Didn't you make an appointment tomorrow morning?" Peter Kenyon frowned.

Obviously, this was beyond his expectations.

"I don't know either, it's Mr. Ed Woodward who led the team."

"Yeah, okay, I know!" Peter Kenyon waved his hand and signaled her to go back to do things.

Immediately afterwards, the Premier League bald strongman turned his head and smiled apologetically at Florentino, "Sorry, Florentino, let's go inside and sit first."

Florentino didn't say anything, but nodded, followed Peter Kenyon into the innermost meeting room.

On the way, I passed a conference room outside and could vaguely hear the sound inside.

But the sound insulation effect is very good, and I can't know what exactly is talking about.

But Florentino's heart was a little heavy.

He knows better than anyone else that Manchester United urgently needs to strengthen signings, but now the top European stars are extremely scarce. Even if Manchester United now has a large transfer budget, they just can't buy players.

Having finally caught a Jamele Rodriguez, Manchester United didn't try their best to pounce?

In fact, Florentino is now eager to refuse to become the leader in Modric's transfer, because in this case, Real Madrid can legitimately send the Argentinian into the transfer market.

With the current Argentinians' worth, they have not been able to run for more than 60 million euros. Even if you have a little operation and add some skills during negotiations, it is possible to reach 70 million.

Because of Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain must have been crazy.

However, when Southampton decided to sell Modric, he put forward a condition that Real Madrid had to exchange for Di Maria, and Florentino was eager to buy Modric at the time and agreed.

Thinking about it now, I still lost!

But what else can I do?

In Florentino's view, the one who keeps the promise is the loss of Real Madrid, but if the promise is violated, the one who loses is his personal reputation.

But, no matter what, James Rodriguez must be taken down.

It was finally difficult and hard to make a big deal of the entire transfer market. If at the end, at the critical moment, the biggest star was the first to be the first to be a team of other teams, then wouldn’t Real Madrid be in vain?

"Florentino, you guys sit down first, I'll go out and come back soon!"

After Peter Kenyon took them into the conference room, he hurried out.

Florentino didn't care anymore, but turned to look at the legal counsel who accompanied him and was in charge of the negotiations. The latter understood what he should prepare.

Then, he took out his cell phone and made a phone call.

"You can check it out for me. In the next month, how much funds we can raise, including the loans promised by the two banks. Hurry up and send me WeChat!"

After hanging up the phone, Florentino simply closed his eyes and focused on things.

There are too many things and details to consider when dealing with such a big transfer.

Although all of these are done by their subordinates, Florentino is too obsessed with the overall situation.

This is also what he is surprised about. Why does Yang Huan look so easy and freehand when he is the club owner and the same recruitment?

Could it be that he had planned it early?

How is this possible?

How could he be so sure that Jamele Rodriguez will definitely be poached by so many teams after the World Cup?

Unless, he can predict the future!

But Florentino thought about this kind of thing and found it funny, let alone believed it.

Sitting in the conference room and waiting, time passed very quickly.

In the middle, club staff came in to deliver hot coffee, while Peter Kenyon never showed up again.

Until, the door in the conference room was opened again, and Yang Huan's apologetic laughter came again.

"Sorry, Florentino, I'm really sorry!"

Florentino stood up and turned his head and smiled, "It's okay, I know you, Master Huan, are busy with noble people!"

"Look, you are just angry with me like this!" Yang Huan smiled and greeted him, "So, don't go back tonight. Stay in my underwater hotel, eat, stay and play, and I treat you all, just treat me as apologizing to you!"

Florentino laughed and asked, "Can I refuse?"

"No!" Yang Huan replied very seriously.

"Haha, then okay, I can only promise you!" Florentino nodded with a smile.
