Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Four Rich and Powerful

"Come on, like Arsenal, why can't you work for Southampton?"

Charlene Laheri thinks, what logic is this?

Obviously two things, why should they be mixed together?

"Like Arsenal, that's people's feelings, since childhood, he has liked Arsenal, but from a professional point of view, he accepts Southampton's work, and uses what he has learned and strengths. Is there any conflict? "

No conflict?

Yang Huan felt that it seemed to be the case.

After all, this is not about making boyfriends and girlfriends. Is it possible to have a job and not allow people to like other teams?

Moreover, the authoritative professor of Oxford University, this halo is indeed too tempting.

"Okay, yes, there's another one?" Yang Huan remembered that she was talking about two people.

"There is another one I only interviewed by phone, the director of the Atlanta Football Data Research Company, Stanford University's Ph.D. in aerospace, Howard Hamilton. No one is more familiar with and understands the operation of data analysis than him."

Yang Huan was heartbroken.

Since it started later than other giant teams, it must catch up in speed and efficiency.

The best thing is to directly introduce better equipment, poach better talents, and enrich our own strength in the shortest time.

As the saying goes, stones from other mountains can attack jade, so there is no need to rest on their laurels.

"Okay, you help me contact these two people and invite them to Southampton. I can meet their conditions and needs as much as possible. I will use them as the core to form a set of the best and top data analysis team!"

Data analysis is more than just importing some game data from the outside.

This includes software and hardware, as well as a lot of high-tech equipment, which need to be invested in research and development and tailor-made.

It will be a revolution to traditional football!

Although he started late, Yang Huan has a stronger willingness to invest than everyone else. He believes that Southampton will be able to catch up in the shortest possible time.

"How much are you going to invest?" Charlene Laheri asked with great interest.

Yang Huan thought about it, "What do you think of the start-up capital of five million pounds?"

"Five million pounds?" Charlene Laheri was a little surprised.

This can introduce a powerful Premier League first-class star.

"Not enough?" Yang Huan thought she thought it was too little. "If it's not enough, add more. Ten million, twenty million, there is no problem. The most important thing is to be able to create the top data analysis team."

As long as it's what he wants to do, he doesn't care how much he puts in, especially in terms of money.

Who made him so cheap?

Charlene Laheri could only smile bitterly, "You really have a lot of money!"

If others heard Yang Huan's words, those who didn't know it would think he was showing off his wealth.

But Charlene Laheri is very clear that Yang Huan has always attached great importance to the investment in scientific research.

Southampton's academy investment is bigger than before, most obviously in training hardware.

In the new training base, the students of the Southampton youth academy are independent dormitories, and everyone's room is at least comparable to a three-star hotel.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that Yang Huan's investment in this aspect is very generous.

"I take your words as a compliment!" Yang Huan said with a cheeky smile.

Charlene Laheri gave him a charming look, this guy has thick skin and is really lawless.

That coquettish attitude made Yang Huan on the opposite side stunned.

If this woman deliberately seduces a man, is there anyone in this world who can resist this temptation?

But she was really right, Yang Huan was not short of money.

In the past two or three months, the revenue of game companies has been climbing.

Although the two games, Cut the Rope and Temple Run, were only released in the second half of the year, they made it to the top ten of the Apple Store's revenue list in 2010, becoming the most profitable games. , the income is also rising, almost doubled every month.

In 2011, the Android version and some other game peripherals were launched successively, and the revenue increased again.

The average daily income in January was as high as £800,000, and in February it exceeded £1 million.

And these incomes are net income after deducting Apple and Android shares, as well as some other expenses.

That is to say, now Yang Huan can earn 1 million pounds a day from these two games, which is 30 million pounds a month.

To say that he is wealthy is an understatement.

…………

Accompanying Charlene Laheri, who promised to help, walked back to the lobby, and Terry Matthews, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted him.

"Master Huan!"

After having two drinks just now and saying a few heartfelt words on his shoulders, he is now much closer to Yang Huan.

"Terry!" When Yang Huan saw him, he immediately laughed, "It's just right, I'll take you to a place."

"OK!"

The two walked out of the restaurant, walked forward, passed the headquarters of the International Sailing Federation, and arrived at the ferry terminal.

The Tester River from west to east meets the Ichin River from north to south here.

Standing on the bank of the passenger ferry terminal, you can just see the huge river scene.

On the other side of the distant river is the dilapidated and abandoned freighter terminal that Yang Huan had ridiculed Abramovich before.

"Master Huan, what's the matter with me here?" Terry Matthews asked inexplicably.

It's very windy and cold here.

The cold wind blowing from the English Channel to the east, drilled into the suits and shirts as soon as they saw the cracks, making people chill.

"Terry, I brought you here because I wanted you to see it."

Yang Huan stood on the bank and pointed to the far opposite bank, "The opposite is the New Forest Park in the UK."

Terry Matthews nodded, a bit similar to the smaller version of Yellowstone Park in the United States. It is a good place for picnics, camping and self-driving tours. Many people in southern England like to go.

"To the north of Southampton, there is the famous tourist city of Winchester and the world-famous prehistoric Stonehenge, and in the east, through the Solent Strait, is the famous tourist resort Isle of Wight."

These are some of the most famous tourist attractions and resources around Southampton.

Terry Matthews is naturally no stranger to what Yang Huan said. On the contrary, he is familiar with it.

"Southampton is the UK's largest passenger port, with nearly three million tourists landing in the UK every year, and it is known as the UK's gateway to the world."

Having said that, Yang Huan's words changed.

"However, these three million tourists are hard to bring to Southampton for the simple reason that there is a lack of elements to attract them to stay."

Terry Matthews understood what Yang Huan meant, but smiled bitterly.

"Master Huan, we all understand what you mean. Although Southampton is a city with a long history, after the bombing of the German army in the World War, the whole city has basically been reduced to ashes, and some history remains. Ancient buildings are not attractive enough.”

Terry Matthews clapped his hands on the guardrail of the pier embankment and sighed deeply.

"All the people who come to the UK for tourism basically go to London. Has anyone heard of Southampton?"

This is also an indisputable fact.

Southampton is even less famous than cities like Manchester and Liverpool.

Who knows, after Yang Huan heard it, he shook his head and laughed.

"If there is not enough attraction, then create attraction. If there are no ancient buildings, then we will build landmark buildings that attract worldwide attention, just like Dubai. It used to be a desert. Why is it so hot now?"

Terry Matthews was a little stunned, Master Huan is this to learn from Dubai?

People can dig oil underground in Dubai, and gutter oil can be dug underground in Southampton!

Seeing Terry Matthews' eyes, Yang Huan smiled and shook his head: "I don't mean to blindly study Dubai."

Terry Matthews breathed a sigh of relief.

"I mean, we're going to build a brand new football stadium in Southampton, right there!"

Looking at Yang Huan's finger, Terry Matthews thought he was pointing at the other side, "Master Huan, that belongs to Hayes."

"I'm talking about the river!"

"What?" Terry Matthews lost his voice in shock. "River...on the river?"

"That's right!" Yang Huan was very satisfied with the effect, "I want to build Southampton's new stadium at the confluence of the Tester and Yichen rivers, not only to build a marine football stadium, but also to build another one. The best luxury hotel at sea!”

He had previously lived in the best Grand Harbour Hotel in Southampton.

But it is such a hotel, the facilities and conditions are quite bad, which makes Yang Huan very dissatisfied.

Three million foreign tourists land in Southampton every year. I don’t know how many British people travel south every year, but in such a city, there is not even a decent hotel.

Does this sound like a word?

Portsmouth had planned to build a football stadium at sea before, but that was more of a joke, because Portsmouth had no money at all, and after Portsmouth was acquired by Manchester City's new owner Al Fahim, the new The stadium was put on hold.

When it comes to building a football stadium at sea, Southampton is obviously more suitable, at least there is not so much sea breeze here.

"Master Huan, are you kidding me?" Terry Matthews couldn't believe it.

How much does it cost to invest in a football field at sea and a luxury hotel at sea?

"Do you think I'm joking?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Terry Matthews shook his head, not really.

But really want to do this, this is too shocking, right?

Yang Huan is quite satisfied with the effect he has created. If it is not shocking, he really does not want to do it.

"Terry!" Yang Huan patted Terry Matthews on the shoulder.

This scene looks very strange, because Yang Huan is only twenty years old, but he is old-fashioned and leans on the shoulders of a middle-aged man, with a condescending tone of teaching.

"I will strongly support your mayoral campaign, how about you help me with this?"

This is too tempting for Terry Matthews, who aspires to be the mayor of Southampton!

…………

…………

In the morning, the sun shines obliquely on the water surface of the Solent Strait from east to west, showing a golden phosphorescence.

Yang Huan stretched all the way, walked out of the room, and stood on the balcony, just in time to have a panoramic view of the scene in the distance.

After Meimei woke up, she felt relieved when she saw such a beautiful scene.

"Fifth." Yang Huan shouted directly into the air in front of him without turning his head.

Long Wu quickly appeared at the gate of the balcony, "Master Huan."

"Has the paper this morning arrived?"

"It's here, I'll get it!" After speaking, Long Wuyi turned around and disappeared again.

Yang Huan sat carelessly on the bench on the balcony, waiting for Long Wu to deliver the newspaper.

He is not in the habit of reading newspapers, and even if he wants to read some news, he is happy to read it on his iPad or computer.

But sometimes, he felt that reading newspapers was obviously more enjoyable.

As if he had just beat Chelsea last night, he wanted to see the reaction in the British newspapers.

As soon as he sat down, the phone that was placed on the table was buzzing and vibrating.

Yang Huan picked it up and took a look, then swiped the screen to answer, "Hello, old grandson."

"Master Huan, I knew you must get up early, and I guessed right." Sun Yue said with a smile on the phone.

"Okay, say something quickly, don't talk nonsense." Yang Huan scolded with a smile.

Although he sometimes scolds Sun Yue, in general, he likes this kid.

In addition to flattering well, his work ability is quite good.

"Mainly to report two things to you."

"Say!"

Just at this time, Long Wu came over holding a stack of newspapers, and Yang Huan pointed in front of him and motioned him to put it on the table.

"Yesterday, the entertainment company put Miss Yoona's single on the Apple Store, and guess what, how many downloads are in one night?" Sun Yue also sold off.

Yang Huan shook his head and smiled, this kid is too outrageous.

This is a rhythm that needs to be cleaned up! ()
