Football Giants

It was another sunny morning, and there was no blue sky.

A taxi from Madrid Capital Airport swiftly drove on the A6 highway.

Sitting in the driver’s seat is a middle-aged man in his early forties. He has the chubby physique common to taxi drivers. The service attitude is good, but there is a lot of talk. Since I just checked the WeChat location of the mobile phone, the mouth is Never stopped.

"La Finca? Oh, that's where Madrid's richest and richest people live, and the place you are going to is on the mountainside of the La Finca community. All the super rich live there."

"Hey, who are you looking for? Tell me, maybe I know it!"

"This Rafinca is home to many football stars. Many of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Getafe live here. The last time I brought a guest in, I happened to meet Carlos Tevez who was moving. I jumped down and asked him for an autograph. Who made me a fan of Atletico Madrid?"

"On another occasion, I just solicited a customer nearby, and went in for a wandering in an empty car. I didn't expect to see Vidal out to take out the trash, so I quickly took out my phone and took a photo of it and sent it to the newspaper office. I also made a hundred Multi-euro extra money, haha!"

"I'm telling you, it's not that I'm just talking about it. In the La Finca community, I know where the star lives!"

"Hey, get off the highway a little bit ahead, turn over, and it's La Finca."

Russell took his two vice-chairmen, dressed up a little bit, sitting in the back of the taxi, depressedly enduring the constant noise of the front taxi driver along the way, screaming inside. One is depressed.

He could hear him saying that Rafinca had arrived, and immediately followed the driver's gesture to look over.

Sure enough, the taxi quickly turned off the highway.

After a high speed, I soon came to La Finca district.

The taxi driver also did what he said. He came often and knew the security guards at the gate of the community quite well. After a little check, he let them pass.

La Finca is a well-known affluent area in Madrid. Here are all single-family villas, large and small, neatly planned, but the architectural style is somewhat inconsistent. After all, some like the tradition of red and green tiles, and some like Unconventional modern style.

The road is not wide, but there are not many cars, so I walk faster.

Passing through the dense residential area, into the high-end area, there is another security duty room at the foot of the mountain.

This time it is more troublesome.

After the security inquired about the situation, he went back to the duty room and made a phone call. It should be to confirm.

"This is the first time I have been here. I heard that any house here costs several million, and the more expensive ones are over ten million euros!"

The taxi driver sat in the car, leaned over, and looked out the front window through the front glass.

In fact, I can see nothing, I can only see a lush mountain forest, with a faint building exposed in the gap in the woods.

"Well, you can go up, but please slow down!"

After passing, enter the high-end community and follow the winding serpentine path up the mountain.

Every time you pass an important corner or intersection along the way, fully armed security guards are on duty. When they see their car coming, they will immediately come out, stand straight on the side of the road and salute them while giving them directions.

This surprised several people in the car.

The labor cost in Spain is so high, and the entire mountain area is so big. How much does it cost just to hire these security guards?

The houses here are more than ten million, so expensive, but many people can still afford it.

However, the property fee here is probably quite expensive, so it shouldn't be affordable for anyone.

Following the security guard’s gestures, the taxi reached a certain intersection halfway up the mountain, and saw that the security guard was in the middle of the road and signaled them to turn in.

It seems that we are in place.

"I'm not going in anymore, let's go for a while!" the taxi driver said depressed.

Entering here, he felt a sense of frustration.

Russell and the others did not reluctantly, anyway, they got to the place, so they got off the car.

The Barcelona chairman just closed the car door, suddenly remembered something, and came back.

"Eh, aren't you a fan of Atletico Madrid?"

"Ah, yes, what's the matter?" the taxi driver nodded.

Russell smiled and pointed to the modern-style mansion not far away from the corner, "That's the mansion of your Atletico Madrid boss in Spain, remember!"

"What?" The taxi driver was stunned.

But Russell said nothing more, greeted the two assistants, and walked in toward the intersection.

The taxi driver was left behind, sitting in the car, staring blankly at the mansion deep in the intersection, staring blankly.

"Good morning, Mr. Roselle!"

"Good morning, Mr. Long Wu!"

Russell recognized at a glance that the one who came to the gate to receive him was Yang Huan's bodyguard, Long Wu.

"Young Master Huan has been waiting for you for a long time. He is swimming. You can go to the study first."

"Oh, good!" Roselle nodded.

The three people followed Long Wu into the mansion.

Yang Huan’s mansion is a bit like a hut in the woods. The architectural style is very unique. It seems to be pieced together with various irregular geometric figures, but it is located in the woods, but it seems to be integrated into it without any damage. The overall environment and quiet atmosphere of the forest.

Just walking in here gives people a very natural and harmonious feeling, and the air is particularly fresh.

Stepping on the stairs and entering the villa, it gives a very different feeling.

If you say that from the outside, the villa feels a bit small, but after you walk in, you have a sudden sense of openness. The space is not only not small, but rather large and open.

Because the exterior walls are designed with glass curtain walls, the light is also very good. Even the aisles and entrances that should be dark are very bright, especially when looking at the woods outside through the glass, it makes people live in the primitive jungle. Feeling in.

"It's really great here!" Roselle couldn't help but admire.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that there are still such houses in Madrid!"

"I remember, I have seen it in a magazine before. It should be designed by a famous designer. It seems that I have won any international awards!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Bartomeu's voice fell, Yang Huan's voice rang outside the door.

"Haha, Josep is right at all. This is a design by Eduardo Arroyo, who won the world's best residential design award, and was later bought and built here."

"But after the house was completed, the original owner went bankrupt due to the European debt crisis. The price of the house was too high and it could not be sold, so it was dragged down. I heard about the house a year ago and thought it was good. I was willing to give a preferential price, so I bought it."

Yang Huan dressed in casual home sportswear, walked into the study with a smile, and greeted everyone to sit down.

Eduardo Arroyo is a well-known artist in Spain. He is not only a painter, graphic artist, writer and set designer. He did not expect that even residential buildings are so powerful. What's more respectable is that he is already very old. Eighty years old.

It seems that the entire home should also be designed by Eduardo Arroyo. Even the sofa is simple and natural, but it can be seen that both the workmanship and the materials are quite fine and valuable.

"By the way, have you eaten breakfast?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

"I've eaten it!" Russell replied quickly.

Yang Huan nodded, and raised his finger at Long Wu. The latter immediately understood and asked the servant to prepare tea.

Before long, a cup of fragrant hot tea was delivered to everyone.

"Taste the tea I brought from China, you can't drink it outside!" After speaking, Yang Huan nodded towards Longwu.

The latter knew they had something to talk about, so he nodded, stepped back, and closed the door.

"How is it? I heard that you had trouble recently?" Yang Huan looked at Roselle and asked with concern.

Knowing that he couldn't hide from Master Huan, Roselle let out a long sigh and nodded.

The Barcelona chairman has indeed been in big trouble lately.

After all, it was Neymar's transfer!

In Yang Huan's previous life, Russell stepped down because Neymar's transfer was full of shady.

In the past, Yang Huan didn't understand it, and always felt that Roselle was greedy for money, but then gradually understood it, and it became clear that this kind of transfer of third-party ownership is often difficult to say clearly in one sentence.

There are a lot of gray areas in it. Even after Russell stepped down and Bartomeu came up, with the permission of Neymar’s father, all the transfer terms and contracts were disclosed, but there were still a lot of them. The transfer details have not been announced, full of doubts, and can not even be explained!

With the arrival of Yang Huan, Neymar was taken to Southampton early, and Barcelona no longer needed to hide anything when introducing Neymar, but the problem still appeared.

That is the transfer fee is too high!

Barcelona signed Neymar at an astonishing price, which certainly excited the fans and made the whole football market boil. It also made Barcelona's sponsors very excited, but it also gave the rivals to attack Roselle. Sharp weapon.

Because in the past few years, Roselle has been committed to reducing Barcelona's operating costs, improving the club's finances, and expanding commercial operating income, but now, signing Neymar is naturally controversial.

Not long ago, former chairman Laporta publicly asked Russell to disclose the financial situation of the team, but in the end he was suppressed by Russell. After all, after Barcelona signed Neymar, regardless of the level of competition or income, Are steadily improving.

But now, new problems are coming again.

Russell heard Yang Huan's question and immediately glanced at Bartomeu next to him, who knew that he had to dress up this ugly face.

As a last resort, I could only cough twice, and said: "Master Huan, we are indeed in trouble, and it is a big problem for us, but for you, Master Huan, it should be just a piece of cake."

"What do you mean?" Yang Huan felt funny.

Give me a high hat for this. Can you guys?

However, thinking about how arrogant these two guys were when I wanted to introduce Ibrahimović, but now, if they want to come to the door eagerly, Yang Huan feels very happy.

"According to our agreement with Southampton, we should pay another Neymar transfer fee in June."

Yang Huan nodded and said: "Yes!"

Hearing this, he actually knew it.

"But, Master Huan, it happened that we had a bank loan due in May, and we spent a lot of money during the winter break to bring in Llorente from Juventus, so..."

Speaking of this, Bartomeu is a little embarrassed, it's hard to tell!

"So... we are afraid of funding... but please believe that we have done our best to raise funds."

Yang Huan knew that no matter how nice Bartomeu said, Barcelona still has no money after all.

Frankly speaking, this can't be blamed on Roselle.

On the one hand, Roselle is indeed not Florentino, and the ability gap between the two is not generally large.

But we must also see that when Laporta was in charge of the team, although the results were very good ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but the team's finances were quite bad.

To put it mildly, Laporta was lucky. The heroes of the second phase of the dream, including Ronaldinho and other players, were all introduced by Roselle, and the third phase of the dream just caught up with May. Local youth academies such as West, Iniesta, Pique and Busquets have emerged.

Without the emergence of this group of talents in the youth training, Laporta's end would be quite miserable.

But who tells people to be lucky and catch up with a good time?

When Russell came up, there were a lot of financial problems, and the third phase of the dream also reached its peak, and the results will inevitably decline.

But even so, Roselle did a good job in Barcelona in the past few years.

Even if many fans call him stingy and accuse him of a lot of problems, it must be seen that the team's finances are indeed improving step by step. This is Roselle's greatest contribution to Barcelona.

So, it can only be said that this guy Roselle has really bad luck.
