Chapter 779: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions


"Hello, Louis" Yang Huan smiled and shook hands with Luis Felipe Vieira who came up.

The Champions League final was held at Benfica's Stadium of Light.

Although the stadium has been requisitioned by UEFA, Benfica is still the host, so it naturally assumes the role of the host in receiving guests.

"Master Huan, let me introduce you."

Vieira immediately turned around.

Next to him stood a middle-aged Portuguese man in his early fifties, but with gray hair, wearing a pair of glasses, a black suit, and a blue tie.

He had a very friendly smile, but there was something about it.

A little bit of the majesty of a superior person.

As soon as Yang Huan saw him, he immediately recognized him.

This was not the mayor of Lisbon, Antonio Luis dos Santos da Costa, whom he had just met two days ago.

In addition to being the mayor of Lisbon, the mayor is also a very important member of the ruling Social Democratic Party.

It is said that he intends to participate in the election of prime minister.

Oh, by the way, his father seems to be a very famous writer, so the topic likes to talk about literature.

But it's clear that Antonio da Costa is not the one Vieira wants to highlight.

Because, with a finger from Vieira, the mayor of Lisbon consciously stepped aside.

At this time, Yang Huan noticed an old man in his seventies, and his first impression was that he was tall.

But soon, he remembered.

Isn’t this the President of Portugal, Anibal Antonio Cavaco Silva?

"Oh, hello, President Silva" Yang Huan immediately smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Mr.

Yang Huan, welcome to Lisbon" "Thank you" Yang Huan said with a smile.

"This is" President Silva noticed Zhuang Ziqing standing next to Yang Huan.

"My wife, Zhuang Ziqing" "Oh, beautiful Miss Zhuang, very happy to meet you" Zhuang Ziqing was also used to seeing big scenes, so she immediately greeted him with a smile and said politely, "Thank you, President Silva."

This shocked Su Jingyan, who was standing not far behind Yang Huan.

"The President of Portugal is here, dear, did I read that right?"

But looking at Zhuang Ziqing accompanying Yang Huan, talking to the President of Portugal and the mayor of Lisbon gracefully, she had to admire her.

After all, she is a lady, and she has seen the world differently.

If it were him and he suddenly met the President of Portugal, his feet would still be trembling.

On the other hand, Zhuang Ziqing and Yang Huan, standing together, are indeed a match made in heaven.

"In Europe, football is not only football, but also a very important social channel.

Therefore, for some important football matches, many political and business celebrities will gather at the stadium, and it is not uncommon for the country's top leaders to attend in person."

After hearing what Zhang Ning said, Su Jingyan understood a little bit.

"If you put it this way, the Saints fan club that Yang Huan organized before collected membership fees of 100,000 pounds per person.

It was really not a random thing."

"Of course, do you think rich people are fools?

Do you know who is among the members?

The future British King Prince William, the sole heir of the Grosvenor family, the sole heir of the British Cork family, and the only son of the Prime Minister of Qatar."

“So many people come together, even if they do nothing, the impact is quite amazing.”

Su Jingyan was deeply convinced by Zhang Ning's words.

On the surface, foreign countries, especially developed countries such as Europe and the United States, have very sound laws and it seems that corruption will not happen.

In fact, this idea is completely wrong.

These countries are not free from corruption.

On the contrary, their corruption is also very, very serious.

It's just that they did it more secretly and more skillfully While Su Jingyan was thinking about it, Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing were already chatting with the Portuguese President and others in front.

"Mr.

Yang Huan, I have just returned from a visit to China," President Silva said.

Yang Huan also paid attention to this news.

According to domestic media reports, the Portuguese president led the largest delegation in history to visit China.

“I have always attached great importance to developing relations with China and have been strengthening economic and trade relations between the two sides.

We very much welcome Chinese investors to invest in Portugal.

At the same time, we are also very grateful to Chinese investors for their contribution to our country’s economy in the past few years. the important role played by development” In the past few years, many real estate properties in Portugal have been sold to investors from China.

Even at Lisbon International Airport, as soon as you walk out of the departure hall, you can see real estate advertisements written in Chinese.

Therefore, President Silva’s remarks are not surprising.

"During my stay in China, I also mentioned you when I was talking to your top leader."

"Really?"

Yang Huan really didn't know.

"Yes, he spoke very highly of you, and I also jokingly mentioned that you have made large-scale investments in many European countries, including the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France, and Germany.

So why?

Don’t think about us Portugal” Yang Huan really didn't expect that he would become a topic of conversation when the leaders of the two countries met.

This is a bit too tall, right?

However, it feels sour and refreshing, I like it "Mr.

President, I am very willing to invest in Portugal, and I have been looking for opportunities," Yang Huan said with a smile.

These words are really not polite remarks, but the truth.

When it comes to Portugal, there is really nothing worthy of Yang Huan's attention in industry.

But when it comes to tourism resources, Portugal is quite outstanding, even in the world, it is famous.

"Really?"

President Silva chuckled.

"It is our honor to be able to attract young talents like Mr.

Yang Huan to invest in Portugal.

We not only welcome them, but also provide strong support."

Today's Portuguese economy is already in trouble, and many domestic banks have even collapsed and a debt crisis has occurred.

Under this situation, increasing efforts to attract foreign investors has become a very important means of self-rescue.

To put it bluntly, Portugal must lower its value now and strongly invite foreign investors to buy the bottom.

"Mr.

President, actually, I have always been interested in Portuguese football and youth training.

You know, our country is now increasing its efforts to develop football.

We are even considering arranging a group of young players to go to major European clubs every year to receive professional training. training.”

After hearing this, President Silva nodded repeatedly.

He also mentioned this during his visit to China.

Portugal's youth training is indeed good.

Although there has not been a talent spurt like Spain and Germany in recent years, the training of players has always been stable.

Of course, due to various reasons, Portugal's stars in recent years have never reached the overall height of the golden generation such as Figo and Rui Costa, but there are still unique talents like Cristiano Ronaldo emerging.

Moreover, to a certain extent, Portuguese style is also very consistent with the characteristics of Chinese people, especially southerners.

When Yang Huan said this, he changed the subject, "However, I know that the current domestic football environment in Portugal is very complicated, and many teams have various problems.

Even in terms of player training, there are many problems.

Just like real estate.”

This last point can be regarded as Yang Huan's protest for his compatriots at home.

Because many domestic investors bought houses in Portugal, but ended up being deceived.

The Portuguese government certainly does not support this kind of behavior, but it is somewhat inactive.

"Mr.

Yang Huan, regarding real estate investment issues, please believe that we will give you a satisfactory answer in the shortest possible time."

President Silva is also worried that the poor domestic investment environment will scare away such a large consortium.

Not to mention anything else, Yang Huan's investments in Madrid and Milan were blockbuster investments worth more than ten figures.

"As for the issue of our domestic investment environment, we will do our best to ensure the interests of foreign investors.

Investment and cooperation in football involve a large number of fans, so" Vieira's eyes lit up after hearing this.

He immediately thought of a piece of news, that is, two days ago, Zhao Yuanfang, the CEO of the famous football investment group from Monaco, came to Portugal.

He heard that he had had contact with Porto, and this company was said to have thousands of connections with Master Huan. wisps of contact.

Could it be that Master Huan intends to invest in a football club in Portugal?

Yang Huan smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, take your time, but our company has recently taken a fancy to two or three projects in Lisbon and Lagos, with an investment amount of more than 500 million euros.

We hope that the government can complete the procedures as soon as possible."

President Silva's eyes suddenly lit up.

What a big deal.

Is it okay?

As soon as you make a move, you can throw stones and ask for directions, it's 500 million euros, what is this if it's not a big deal?

But President Silva soon realized that this Chinese was quite shrewd.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, the center of politics, economy, culture and education, not to mention tourism resources.

It is one of the most famous tourist cities in Europe.

And Rags?

Ordinary people must have never heard of it, but as a Portuguese, President Silva knows very well that Lagos is known to have the most beautiful coastline and beaches in Europe.

In this small town in the southwest corner of the European continent, it can be visited by three hundred people.

Enjoy the unrivaled 60-degree view of the Atlantic Ocean.

Although the world-famous Cabo da Roca is known as the end of the world for Europeans, in fact Those who really know how to appreciate beautiful scenery will know that Lagos is the real end of the world, because only here can you enjoy the most beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean.

With the rise of tourism in Portugal in recent years, Lagos has received more and more attention and attention.

But at least until now, there is still considerable investment potential here.

From this point alone, it can be seen that this young master Huan is not a spendthrift and a playboy like the rumors outside.

On the contrary, he is very shrewd, but it can also be seen that he is indeed sincere in coming to Portugal to invest.

"Okay, Mr.

Yang Huan, I will remember it.

I will arrange for manpower to follow up later," President Silva promised with a smile.

"As for investing in football clubs, we will also consider it carefully and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Yang Huan laughed, "Then I'd like to thank President Silva first."

The two exchanged a few polite words again, and after a lot of extravagant remarks, the Portuguese president and others excused themselves and left.

During the period, he even mentioned that he hoped that Southampton could introduce more Portuguese players if given the opportunity.

This made Yang Huan feel funny.

Because, among the two teams participating in the Champions League final, there was not even a single Portuguese player.

However, Yang Huan also had a countermeasure.

He immediately mentioned that Southampton was working to introduce Benfica's star midfielder, Bernardo Silva, and Braga's Rafa Silva.

Both players are Portugal's stars of hope.

Among them, Rafa is 20 years old.

He has already performed well in Braga's first team and was selected for the Portuguese national team.

He is known as Portugal's Hazard.

As for Bernardo Silva, he is younger, only nineteen years old, and is regarded as Benfica's most promising midfield talent.

He is also known as Portugal's Messi, which shows his extraordinary potential.

Southampton is reserving talents for the future.

In addition, the two players have great potential but are not worth much, so they bought them and continued to play on loan at Benfica and Braga.

If they can perform well in the future, they will naturally have the opportunity to go further.

In turn, if development doesn't go as expected, the Saints will consider cashing out.

The big deal is just losing some money.

This is also one of the methods used by European powers to select talents.

That is to say, after Yang Huan saw off the President of Portugal and others, the stadium staff walked into the VIP lounge and informed everyone that the game was about to start, and VIPs like them could enter:
