Football Giants

Chapter 780: Throw stones for directions

"Hello, Louis!"

Yang Huan smiled and shook hands with Luis Filipe Vieira who came up.

The UEFA 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 is natural to assume the role of host to receive guests.

"Master Huan, I'll introduce you!" Vieira immediately turned around.

Next to him stood a middle-aged Portuguese man in his early fifties, but his head was gray, he wore a pair of glasses, a black suit, a blue tie, and a friendly smile. A little majesty of the superior.

Yang Huan immediately recognized him as soon as he saw him. This was not the one I had just met two days ago, the mayor of Lisbon, Antonio Luis dos Santos da Costa.

In addition to being the mayor of Lisbon, the mayor is now a very important member of the ruling Social Democratic Party. He is said to be interested in participating in the election for the prime minister.

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

But it is clear that Antonio da Costa is not the person Vieira will focus on.

Because, with Vieira's hand, the mayor of Lisbon consciously stepped aside.

At this time, Yang Huan noticed an elderly man in his seventies, and his first impression was high.

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 thanked with a smile.

"This is..." President Silva noticed Zhuo Li's Zhuang Ziqing beside Yang Huan.

"My wife, Zhuang Ziqing!"

"Oh, beautiful Miss Zhuang, I am very glad to meet you!"

Zhuang Ziqing is also a person accustomed to big scenes, and immediately bowed to him with a smile, "Thank you, President Silva!"

This made Su Jingyan, who was standing not far behind Yang Huan, a little stunned.

"The President of Portugal is here? Good deed, am I right?"

But then look at Zhuang Ziqing with Yang Huan, speaking generously to the Portuguese president and the mayor of Lisbon, she also has to admire, after all, it's not the same as everyone who has seen the world.

If you changed to yourself and suddenly saw the President of Portugal, wouldn't your feet tremble?

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

"In Europe, football is not just football, but also a very important social channel. Therefore, it is not uncommon for many political and business celebrities to gather at the stadium for important football matches.

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

"In that case, Yang Huan's previous Saints Fan Club, each of whom received a membership fee of 100,000 pounds, is really not a mess!"

"Of course, you think that rich people are fools? Do you know who is among the members? The future King William, the only heir of the Grosvenor family, the only heir of the Cork family of England, the only son of the Prime Minister of Qatar... …"

"With so many people together, even if they just do nothing, the influence is quite amazing!"

Zhang Ning's words made Su Jingyan quite agreeable.

On the surface, foreign countries, especially developed countries such as Europe and the United States, have sound laws, and it seems that there will be no corruption. In fact, this idea is very wrong.

These countries are not without corruption. On the contrary, their corruption is very, very serious.

It's just that they are more secretive and smarter!

While Su Jingyan was thinking, Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing had already chatted with the Portuguese president and others.

"Mr. Yang Huan, I just came back 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 the development of relations with China, and have always been in Canada’s economic and trade relations. We very much welcome Chinese investors to invest in Portugal. At the same time, we are also very grateful for the Chinese investors’ contribution to our country’s economy in the past few years. The important role of development!"

In the past few years, many real estate in Portugal were sold to investors from China.

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

Therefore, what President Silva said is not surprising.

"During my stay in China, I mentioned you when I was talking to your top leaders!"

"Really?" Yang Huan really didn't know.

"Yes, he has a very high evaluation of you, and I also jokingly mentioned that you have already made considerable investments in many European countries, including the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France, and Germany. Why? Don't think about us in Portugal?"

Yang Huan really did not expect that he would have become the topic of discussion when the leaders of the two countries met.

This is too tall, right?

However, it feels sour, I like it!

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

This is really not a polite statement, but the truth.

When it comes to Portugal, industry really has nothing to value Yang Huan.

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

"Really?" President Silva laughed. "It is our honor to be able to attract young talents like Mr. Yang Huan to invest in Portugal. We should not only welcome, but also give us strong support! "

Today's Portuguese economy is already in a dilemma, and even many banks in the country have failed, and there has been a debt crisis. In this case, increasing efforts to attract foreign investors has become a very important means of self-rescue.

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

"Mr. President, in fact, I have always been very interested in Portuguese football and youth training. You know, our country is now stepping up efforts to develop football. We are even considering arranging a group of young players to major European clubs to accept careers every year. Training."

After President Silva heard this, he nodded repeatedly, which he also mentioned during his visit to China.

The youth training in Portugal is indeed good. Although in recent years, there has not been a blowout of talents like Spain and Germany, the training of players has always been stable.

Of course, due to various reasons, Portugal’s stars in recent years have not been able to reach the overall height of the golden generation such as Figo and Rui Costa, but there are still emergences like Cristiano Ronaldo. genius.

Moreover, to a certain extent, the Portuguese style is also in line with the characteristics of the Chinese, especially southerners.

When Yang Huan said this, the conversation turned, "But, I know that the current Portuguese football environment is very complicated, and many teams have various problems, even in terms of player training. Just like real estate!"

This last article can be regarded as a protest made by Yang Huan for his compatriots in China.

Because there are many domestic investors who bought houses in Portugal, they were deceived.

For this kind of behavior, the Portuguese government certainly does not support it, but it is somewhat inaction.

"Mr. Yang Huan, regarding real estate investment, please be assured that we will give 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.

If nothing else, it was directed at Yang Huan's investments in Madrid and Milan, which were heavy investments in the tens of figures.

"As for the issue of our domestic investment environment, we will do our best to ensure the interests of foreign investors, and football investment and cooperation are related to a large number of fans, so..."

Vieira on the side listened, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He immediately thought of a piece of news. Two days ago, Zhao Yuanfang, the CEO of the famous football investment group from Monaco, came to Portugal. He heard that he had contact with Porto. This company is said to have a relationship with Shao-Ye Huan. Links.

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

Yang Huan smiled slightly, “It’s okay, take it slow, but our company has recently taken a fancy to two or three projects in Lisbon and Lagos, with an investment of more than 500 million euros. I hope the government can complete the process as soon as possible!”

President Silva's eyes suddenly brightened up, ah, is there anything?

As soon as you make a move and ask for directions, it is 500 million euros. What is this not a big deal?

But President Silva soon realized that this Chinese is smart enough.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and the center of politics, economy, culture and education. Not to mention tourism resources, it can be called one of the most famous tourist cities in Europe.

And what about Lagos?

Ordinary people have never heard of it, but as a Portuguese, President Silva knows very well that Lagos claims to have the most beautiful coastline and beaches in Europe. In this small town in the southwestern corner of the European continent, it can be 300 Enjoy the invincible Atlantic Ocean seascape from sixty degrees without blind spots.

Although the world-famous Cape Roca is known as the end of the world for Europeans, what about it?

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 Atlantic ocean view.

With the rise of Portuguese tourism 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 as profligate as the rumors outside. On the contrary, he is very shrewd, but it can also be seen that he does have the sincerity to invest in Portugal.

"Okay, Mr. Yang Huan, I remember, I will arrange manpower to follow up when I look back!" President Silva promised with a smile.

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

Yang Huan laughed, "Then I will thank President Silva in advance!"

The two made a few polite remarks again, and after speaking a lot of scenes, the Portuguese president and others convicted and left.

During the period, he even mentioned that he hopes that, given the opportunity, Southampton can introduce more players from Portugal.

This makes Yang Huan amused.

Because of the two teams participating in the Champions League final, there is not even a Portuguese player!

However, Yang Huan also had a countermeasure, and immediately mentioned that Southampton is currently operating the midfielder Hope Star who introduced Benfica, Bernardo Silva, and Braga's Rafa Silva.

These two players are Portugal’s stars of hope~lightnovelpub.net~Among them, Rafa is 20 years old and has already performed well in the first team of Braga, and has been selected for the Portuguese national team, known as Portugal’s Azerbaijan Zar.

As for Bernardo Silva, he is younger and only nineteen years old. He is regarded as Benfica's most promising midfielder genius. He is known as the Portuguese Messi, which shows that he has extraordinary potential.

Southampton is making a talent reserve for the future. In addition, the potential of the two players is not small, but the value is not high, so they bought them and continue to play for Benfica and Braga on loan.

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

Conversely, if the development is not as expected, the Saints will consider cashing them out.

The big deal, it just loses some money!

This is also one of the methods used by Europe to select materials.

That is, after Yang Huan sent away the Portuguese president and others, the stadium staff walked into the VIP lounge and informed everyone that the game was about to begin and their VIPs could enter the venue!
