I am a nobleman in England

When the sleeping crowd left St. Mary's Stadium, Jiang Lai, who was held by Arthur's waist and was very'gentleman' by his side, still remembered Arthur's confident and assertive expression.

"I want to buy the Southampton Club! Yes, I want to buy it!"

Although Jiang Lai does not know how much it will cost to buy a football club, she has also read a lot of news and knows that it is by no means a small number. This also gave her the British "friend" she met today. A new understanding.

It seems that they are really not ordinary rich people!

Naturally, Arthur didn't know, and Jiang Lai, who was looking up at him from time to time, was thinking, but after watching this 3-1 match, he was more determined to buy the Saints.

With the current team lineup, the Southampton club is playing League One. It is a complete misunderstanding. It can even be said that it is a dimensionality reduction attack. Next year, there is no suspense and can easily return to the Champions League.

If he can take over and solve the internal management chaos, change a better head coach, keep the current lineup of players, and impact the Premier League next year, becoming a promoted horse will not be a big problem.

It is completely possible to achieve one step a year and return to the Premier League as a super dark horse. By then, the funds he has spent on acquiring the Saints will be at least tenfold!

This is definitely a good deal!

Of course, the purchase price is only the first sum of money. Whether the entire club can appreciate depends on your investment in all aspects and whether you can attract excellent coaches and players. All of this requires money as a basis.

After all, in the most expensive and fierce Premier League in the world, no one wants to be a "lift".It is very difficult to stand on your heels.

"Where are we going now?"

Sitting in the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Jiang Lai looked at Arthur and asked curiously.

"It's almost afternoon tea time. Let's find a place to have some coffee and some afternoon tea. It just so happens that I also have a guest who wants to meet up, but it won't be too long. Is it okay?"

Arthur looked at the time on his watch and said to Jiang Lai with a smile. After watching a game, the relationship between the two has become closer. The strangeness has disappeared. After all, women can accept physical contact from men. This has already shown that she is not bored and repulsive of men's closeness.

"No problem." Jiang Lai said with a smile.

In a cafe near a yacht pier on the Yichen River in Southampton, Arthur and Jiang Lai are sitting next to the window, sipping coffee while watching the beautiful scenery on the Yichen River, seabirds hovering.

"Sitting here, reminds me of the scene in the movie when the Titanic set sail..." Jiang Lai put down the coffee cup, faced with a sweet smile, and said with emotion.

"Southampton has a magical power that can easily lead your concentrated thoughts in the direction related to maritime affairs. Haha." Arthur said with a chuckle, but shook his head and said with emotion: "Unfortunately, Southampton Dayton has never been able to develop. It is said that world-class immigrant cities are accompanied by seaports. This is an iron law in the world.

It is a pity that Southampton is not a big city. Although it has the advantage of being the gateway to England and has a long history of economic immigration, the integration here seems to be condensed.People from Southampton say that this is England’s living room to the world. Unlike the coldness of London, there is a warm embrace.

But the three million tourists who come ashore every year really only use this place as a living room. People come and go, but they can't keep people...By the way, have you been to Stonehenge since you came to the UK?"

"Not yet, there is no time." Jiang Lai shook his head with a regretful smile.

"Then let's go together tomorrow, north of Southampton, is the famous tourist city Winchester and the world-famous prehistoric Stonehenge." Arthur's eyes flashed and he suggested with a smile.

"Will this delay your work?" Jiang Lai hesitated.

"Tomorrow is the weekend and it's time for rest, so it's settled." Arthur smiled and blinked at Jiang Lai and said.

Jiang Lai shook his head and laughed. She could clearly feel that Arthur was a little bit chasing, and constantly creating opportunities for the two to be alone. However, she was not disgusted, but the secret joy and sweetness in her heart became more and more.

"Okay, let's give you a chance to perform." Jiang Lai's beautiful eyes turned into Crescent Moon, jokingly.

"Thank you beauty for giving me the opportunity." Arthur smiled.

Just as the two were smiling at each other, the butler Paul came over, bent slightly, and said to Arthur: "Your Excellency, Jerry, they have arrived."

"Well, I see." Arthur nodded faintly, and said to Jiang Lai: "You come to my side, and the guests I have appointed have arrived."

Jiang Lai did not hesitate, stood up holding the coffee cup, sat down in the chair next to Arthur, and looked at Arthur curiously and asked, "Your Excellency? Why does Paul always use this word to call you?"

"Haha, guess?" Arthur said with a smile instead of explaining.

"I can't guess..." Jiang Lai said a little bit irritably, and just at this moment, Jerry Fuller was wearing a blue suit with a straight face, and the one who looked very shrewd and decent had a flat head and a figure. The well-maintained middle-aged man walked over.

Arthur smiled and touched, and Jiang Lai also suppressed the expression on his face, followed Arthur to stand up, staying quietly, watching Arthur shake hands and talk with the visitor.

"Boss, this is Nicola Kotis, Nicola, this is my boss..." Jerry Fuller introduced to both sides with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Kotis, welcome you to Southampton. Nice to meet you." Arthur smiled and shook hands with each other.

"Hello, honorable Lord Arthur, it is my honor to meet you." Nicola Kotis said respectfully.

However, as soon as this greeting came out, Jiang Lai, who was standing next to Arthur, was completely dumbfounded, his beautiful eyes widened, and he looked like a hell of disbelief, finally restraining his mouth that was about to grow out of surprise.

Nobleman, earl, but Basser is a rich second-generation, and the impact on Jiang Lai is much greater. His pretty face is slightly red, and he jumps cautiously. This is not to say that Jiang Lai has never seen the world. , It’s just that this kind of sudden shock really takes some time to accept.

Arthur turned his head and looked at Jiang Lai who had been staring at him, with a bright smile on his face. He stretched out his hand to support Xia Jiang Lai's slender waist and introduced: "This is my friend, Jiang Lai. Miss, this is Jerry Fuller, the editor-in-chief of my newspaper, and this is Nicola Kotis, the sports manager of the Italian Juventus Club."

Jiang Lai recovered from the lack of consciousness, took a deep breath in his heart, and showed a charming smile on his face. Under Arthur's introduction, he shook hands with the two of them in a polite way.

"Sit down, everyone, let's talk while drinking coffee—" Arthur smiled and stretched out his hand to signal the invitation.

"Thank you."

After the four of them sat down, before Arthur could speak, Nicola Kotis took the lead with a wry smile and said: "Your Excellency, I am no longer the sports manager of Juventus."

"Oh?" Arthur raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but quickly laughed: "This is better. I was worried that I won't be able to dig you. Then, you can directly work for me. How about , No problem? I really need your help here."

"Of course, it's my honour." Nicola Kotis did not expect that it would be so simple and smooth. He was relieved. Due to the major personnel changes in the Juventus club, their principles The club chairman’s cronies were all cleared out. Some time ago, he was asked by a fat British football friend whether he would like to change his environment. When he became the chairman of any club, he thought it was a joke.

Unexpectedly, this was not a joke. When Jerry Fuller contacted him and explained the matter, he was still very hesitant at the time. After all, a small and medium-sized club playing in League One, even if it is a saint with some fame and influence. Southampton, but compared with giants like Juventus, the difference is not one and a half.

However, things were so sudden, the situation changed suddenly, and power changes occurred within Juventus. Their old ministers became the target of being purged. At this moment, Nicolas Courtis is really grateful that he did not reject Jerry Fuller's invitation. .

"Nikola, I believe you should know. I am going to acquire the Saints Southampton Club. Although I am a fan, I have no experience in managing the club. I firmly believe that professional matters are left to professional people. So , Can you help me manage the club and return to the Premier League?"

Arthur didn't go around the corner, and said straightforwardly.

Nicolas Courtis knew that this was the young Earl who was taking the exam for him. However, he was not at all shocked. After all, he has real materials and years of experience in running Juventus clubs and managing a small and medium-sized club. Not to mention simple and easy, it is also easy to grasp, let alone he did a lot of homework before he came.

"I looked through all the information, operation and financial status of the Saints in recent years. Since the relegation to the Champions League in 2005, the club has been in a waste of time due to financial problems. It has become a store for players to buy and sell. This time it was caused by management adjustments. The deduction of points and the direct relegation to League One were completely accidental. Returning to the Champions League with the current lineup of the Saints is no problem at all.

I think Southampton has a group of very talented athletes. They are a club with a history, have a very good youth training system, and cultivate many young people.What I value most is that they have the football concept of nurturing young people.

If you want to hit the Premier League, the Saints need not only a good coach, but also a thorough change in their business methods. Absolutely, they must never sell core young players." He said firmly and painfully: "We can't cultivate young people. Players, just to sell a good price in the future."
