"Hey, Hamad, call me now.
What's going on?"
Yang Huan sat elegantly on a red rosewood chair covered with soft cushions, looking like an indescribable rich man.
Peter Kenyon looked across from him and felt funny in his heart.
Sometimes this young master was really funny.
"Master Huan, there is someone who wants to meet you.
I don't know what you mean."
Hamad sounded polite on the phone.
This kid is actually quite smart.
When no one is around, he is very casual and even a little random.
But once outsiders are involved, he is very knowledgeable.
Otherwise, Yang Huan would not have a close personal relationship with him.
"Who can make your little prince from the Middle East come forward in person?"
Yang Huan asked with a smile.
The implication is that even you came forward, can I not see you?
Hamad chuckled, "Actually, I think you also know Mubarak, the CEO of Manchester City."
"It's him."
Yang Huan was stunned.
Mubarak has met a few times, the most recent one was at the Premier League Chairman's Summit, but there was basically no communication.
How could this Manchester City leader, who has a very low-key style of work, suddenly come to visit him?
Yang Huan felt a little strange in his heart, but he seemed to have vaguely guessed something.
Anyway, the only reason why I came to Yang Huan at this time was for those few things.
"Master Huan, if you don't like to see him, I will help you go back."
This boy Hamad is quite honest.
Yang Huan laughed and said, "Why don't you bring him over?"
"Okay, hehe, we'll be there in an hour."
Damn, they are in London After Yang Huan hung up the phone, he looked at Peter Kenyon and talked about Mubarak.
"He came here for two purposes, one is transfer, and the other is the International Champions Cup."
With Manchester United confirmed, the eight group spots for the first International Champions Cup are down to the last one.
The outside media also attaches great importance to this event, and the organizers have been leaking news intentionally or unintentionally.
Now for the last place, it is generally believed that one of AC Milan and Chelsea.
But in Yang Huan's view, the scores of these two teams are a bit too big.
We really can't agree, Manchester City is not bad, and this team's influence in the United States is not bad either.
While waiting, Yang Huan made a special call to Zhuang Zicheng.
The hacker boy is now regarded as Yang Huan's personal information station, and there is almost no information that he cannot find.
You won’t know if you don’t check it, but you will be shocked if you check it.
Everyone knows that the boss behind Manchester City is Al Fahim, a member of the royal family of Abi Dhabi and the helmsman of the Abu Dhabi consortium.
His net worth is astonishingly huge.
But I am afraid that not many people know that Mubarak, who was actually appointed as the chairman of Manchester City by Al Fahim, actually has another identity, that is, the chairman of the board of directors of Abu Dhabi Mudarah.
Mudarah Development Company is one of the major investment departments of the UAE government.
It has a wide range of businesses and manages more than 50 billion US dollars in wealth.
Its investment scope includes new energy and technology fields.
Yang Huan smiled bitterly.
Damn it, there are really not many tycoons in the Middle East.
They can easily make tens of billions of dollars, and you can’t let anyone live.

The small Abu Dhabi is so amazing.
In addition to these two major consortiums, there is also an even more amazing Abu Dhabi Investment Authority with assets of more than 600 billion US dollars.
It is amazing to think about it.
But, so what if you have money?
If something really happens, you don’t have to take the initiative to come to your door.
Just when Yang Huan couldn't help but feel a little proud, Hamad and Mubarak had arrived.
The chairman of Manchester City is actually very young.
He looks to be in his thirties.
He wears a pair of gentle and elegant glasses and has the temperament of a scholar.
No matter how you look at it, you can't associate it with the tycoon in the Middle East.
If nothing else, Hamad is inferior to Mubarak in terms of temperament.
"Hello, Mr.
Yang Huan" "Hello, Mr.
Mubarak" After the two shook hands and said a few polite words, everyone sat down separately.
"Mr.
Yang Huan, when I came here just now, I made a special trip to the Royal Docks in Southampton first.
Your Saints' new stadium is so amazing, it's great."
Mubarak impressed Yang Huan as soon as he came up. face.
"Thank you.
I also learned about the design of your new Manchester City training base.
It is very, very good."
Manchester City's stadium is not bad, but the training base is old and rotten.
It just so happens that Manchester City's training base is in Carrington, right next door to Manchester United.
But relatively speaking, Manchester City's training base is obviously not as good as Manchester United.
Therefore, Mubarak has always hoped to rebuild an advanced training base.
But if Yang Huan remembers correctly, it seems that this matter did not go well.
It was blocked by a tough guy who was a Manchester United fan.
It had not started until 2014, when he traveled back in time.
"To tell you the truth, Mr.
Yang Huan, I came here this time for two main purposes."
Yang Huan nodded noncommittally.
"The first purpose is to learn.
Although we entered football earlier than you, and we won the league championship last season, we found that in many aspects, we are not as good as Southampton."
This is also true To give the simplest example, Southampton won the Europa League last season, which not only made the team popular, but also made TCM massage popular because of Toni Kroos' comeback at a critical moment.
As soon as the media discovered it after the game, Southampton's player data analysis and research system also became popular.
Manchester City has invested heavily in data analysis since 2009, but in fact, the output is far from ideal.
But Southampton has created such amazing results.
Let alone Manchester City, the entire European football world is full of curiosity about this mysterious system, and they all wonder whether it is really that magical.
As everyone knows, they are also studying data analysis, but the power given to researchers by Manchester City is far less than that of Southampton.
In the Saints, Sartoi and others have a decisive say in whether players can play and even for how long.
But at Manchester City, their data analysis team looks more like an auxiliary means that comes and goes when you call it.
Moreover, Yang Huan also gave the data analysis team maximum support, giving money and people when he asked.
Even when he encountered a problem, he waved his hand and the whole team had to cooperate.
This is something Manchester City can’t do either.
Therefore, when Mubarak proposed that he could arrange for people to study and introduce research results from Southampton, Yang Huan agreed without hesitation.

If you want to learn, I will teach you.
As for whether you can learn it well or not, that depends on your own ability.
Mubarak was originally worried that this matter would not be so easy, but he did not expect that Yang Huan would be so generous.
Therefore, the Emiratis are not stingy, saying that when cooperating in this area, Southampton will certainly not suffer.
The implication is that our technology and equipment are not good, but we have a lot of money.
Don’t worry, you can just make an offer when the time comes.
"I have another purpose in going south this time, which is to hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr.
Yang Huan."
"oh" "I heard that Mr.
Yang Huan is actively planning the International Champions Cup."
"Yeah" Yang Huan nodded, looking very candid.
Combined with his generous agreement to cooperate with Manchester City before, it makes people feel that he is sincere in making friends.
"I wonder if you are interested in finding a sponsor?"
"A few are in contact."
Yang Huan replied calmly.
"That means we haven't reached an agreement yet," Mubarak chuckled.
Yang Huan did not deny it, nodded and said: "It's still a little bit worse."
"We at Etihad Airways are very interested in developing the US market in the next few years and we hope to be able to sponsor this event."
Yang Huan was a little surprised to be "titled".
Is it really so easy to make money by digging for oil in the Middle East?
"We are willing to provide an annual naming fee of 20 million euros and become the largest sponsor of this event for five years."
The so-called naming rights, to put it bluntly, means that when promoting an event, the name of the sponsor must be added in front.
In other words, after accepting sponsorship, the International Champions Cup will have to be renamed the Ittihad International Champions Cup.
And the organizers will no longer be allowed to accept sponsorship from other airlines, or even other similar companies such as railways.
Yang Huan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Five years is too long, three years at most."
"Three years" Mubarak was a bit surprised.
Is Yang Huan so confident in promoting this event?
"To tell you the truth, in my opinion, three years is already a very friendly price.
I have been preparing for this event for a full year.
I am confident that I can ignite the American football in July and August this year." city" This period of time coincides with the break of American sports.
Football, NBA and other sports are in the suspension stage.
Only Major League Baseball still has games.
However, in the minds of young fans, baseball is no longer attractive.
Therefore, football is exerting its force during this period of time, which just fills this gap.
In Yang Huan's view, the market is already there, it just depends on whether you can make it work.
But in Mubarak's view, young Yang Huan was too confident.
Even, he is a little too confident You know, the sponsorship fee of 20 million euros a year is already quite high for a newly launched event.
If it weren't for the participation of wealthy teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, and if he didn't have a certain degree of confidence in the operational capabilities of Yang Huan and Miracle Media, Mubarak would definitely not have made such a decision.
I didn’t expect that Yang Huan would have such confidence A bit interesting "I still have the last place in my hand.
If Manchester City is interested, I can participate."
Yang Huan once again threw out a piece of fat.
For Manchester City, even if they win a league championship, in the eyes of everyone, he is still a rich man and an upstart.
So what Manchester City needs to do most now is accumulate.
Being mixed with a group of top wealthy families is undoubtedly a great opportunity to establish your position as a wealthy family.
Thinking of this, Mubarak had to sigh in his heart.

It's the same acquisition of a team, and the same spending of money, but Yang Huan has invested in connections and connections, and has vaguely entered the core circle of European professional football.
Yang Huan himself has also entered the British upper-class social circle. .
But Manchester City has been excluded from the periphery from beginning to end, just like a cash machine for other teams.
And this time, there is no doubt that it is a very good opportunity to integrate into the inner circle of European football.
Therefore, this time Manchester City can only be Southampton's little brother and hang out with the Saints.
"Okay, it's only three years, but I want a commitment from you.
If you can put this event into operation within three years, we will renegotiate the naming fee.
At the same price, we have priority.
As for Manchester City, we will definitely participate. " Mubarak seemed very courageous and made a decision on the spot.
This is like the chairman of a large consortium that controls tens of billions of dollars.
"Okay, let's make it a deal."
Yang Huan didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
With the naming fee of 20 million euros, at least we can lose less.
And this is just the beginning.
There are many places where you can get sponsorship, take your time, don’t rush:
