Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

After the end of this round of Premier League games, the winter transfer window has arrived as scheduled. The winter transfer window is a process of checking for leaks and filling gaps for all teams. If there are still ideas for the second half of the season, the team will naturally not miss this opportunity. The current Premier League standings are as follows. Arsenal ranks first with an unbeaten record of 13 wins, 6 draws and 45 points. Manchester United ranks second with 14 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses and 44 points. Chelsea ranks third with 12 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses and 39 points. Manchester City ranks fourth with 10 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses and 36 points. Fulham ranks fifth with 8 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses and 28 points. Liverpool ranked sixth with seven wins, five draws and seven losses and 26 points.

Southampton ranked seventh with the same record of seven wins, five draws and seven losses.

Newcastle ranked eighth with five wins, nine draws and five losses and 24 points.

This is probably the team with the best chance of getting a European Cup spot this season.

Now Manchester City is eight points ahead of the fifth place and ten points ahead of Liverpool, which is a great advantage for the fight for the top four.

Yang Luo is also quite satisfied with this record. It stands to reason that there is no need to continue to strengthen.

However, Yang Luo's restless little heart still wants to continue to tossing.

Because he has a lot of money again.

After he cleared his NetEase stocks in mid-October, the assets in his stock account became 1.1 billion US dollars again.

In addition to buying $200 million in Apple stocks, he slowly converted the remaining $900 million into pounds.

What is such a large sum of money for in the bank?

It seems that it can only be spent.

As for saving money for old age?

Just kidding, the two technology giants Google and Tencent, which went public in 2004, both have huge shares. Although they have been diluted a lot after several rounds of financing, what is their size?

I will be the richest man in the world in a few years!

Moreover, the Apple shares I bought now will bring me dozens or even hundreds of times of returns in the next few years or even decades.

So, the money now is just a number to me.

So, he began to plan to continue buying players.

But when he talked about this with San Dezi and Bernstein, they both shook their heads.

San Dezi cried and said, "There are only more than 30 million pounds left in our account. Isn't it good to keep it as a reserve fund?"

Bernstein said from a competitive perspective, "Now everything in our team is on the right track. There is no need to buy players rashly. This will make the current players have ideas."

Yang Luo was stunned and had to give up the idea of ​​buying a lot.

However, although Manchester City is not very willing to buy anyone, its city rival Manchester United is preparing to buy a lot of players.

The vacancy left by Beckham is very troublesome, so the red-nosed old man needs to buy a replacement.

In addition, Rio Ferdinand, the absolute backbone of their defense, was banned by the English Football Association for eight months from December 20, 2003 due to drug testing.

This means that Ferdinand is out for the season, which is a very big blow to Manchester United's defense.

So they need to buy a right winger and a central defender.

But this is not a secret.

So, Yang Luo, who has nothing to do, came up with a bold idea.

More than a decade later, Manchester United has a famous nickname, called the Price Raising League.

Now that Manchester United is obviously going to buy people, we brothers in the same city must also raise our hands, right?

So, Yang Luo called Bernstein: "Old Bern, let's do something fun?"

Bernstein looked puzzled: "What?"

Yang Luo smirked: "You should know that our rivals in the same city are now eager to buy players everywhere, right?"

Bernstein nodded: "I know, buy right winger and center back."

Yang Luo smiled even more cunningly: "Are we just going to watch?"

Bernstein immediately thought of something, and he immediately said seriously: "Comrade Xiao Yang, I want to criticize you. Manchester United is our brother team. Isn't it natural for us to raise the price for them?"

This big loop almost made Yang Luo flash.

Looking at Bernstein's smirk at this time, Yang Luo was speechless.

Unexpectedly, this old man is as bad as Yang Luo...

The first

The next day, according to reporters, Manchester United's vice chairman David Gill appeared in Seville, Spain.

This is Ferguson's close friend, and his appearance may represent Ferguson's intention.

There are two most famous teams in Seville, Sevilla and Real Betis.

And now Real Betis has a famous genius right winger.

Joaquin Sanchez Rodriguez!

This is the god in the hearts of countless football game fans. Joaquin Gavisente's two wings fly together and everyone is full of imagination.

But he never joined a giant throughout his career, which made countless people a little regretful.

But it is undeniable that he is definitely a talented winger in Europe now, and it is reasonable for Ferguson to take a fancy to him.

After guessing his target, Yang Luo and Bernstein looked at each other and immediately contacted the Real Betis Club to express their interest in Joaquin.

Sure enough, Real Betis admitted that they have now received a formal offer.

However, Real Betis refused to disclose the specific details of the offer.

But even if they didn't say it, Bernstein knew that it must be Manchester United's offer, but they still needed to test the specific amount.

So Bernstein and Yang Luo looked at each other and quoted on the phone: "Mr. Director, our offer for Joaquin is 10 million pounds."

He wanted to use this neither high nor low offer to test the other party.

Now Joaquin's value should be slightly higher than this number, and Real Betis would not agree to this offer.

Sure enough, the other side shook his head regretfully: "Mr. Bernstein, this offer is difficult to meet our requirements. It didn't even reach the bid of another buyer."

Bernstein's mind was like a mirror, Manchester United's offer should be higher than this.

So he thought about it, and then said directly: "Mr. Director, then our offer is increased to 13 million pounds."

The other side hesitated for a while and said: "Our psychological expectation for Joaquin is 20 million pounds."

This asking price is indeed a bit high, far higher than Joaquin's market value.

But considering that this is the middle of the season, there is generally a premium for buying people, so this price can't be said to be outrageous.

And the price is obviously negotiable.

But Bernstein smiled: "Then may I ask if you have responded to the other offer?"

The other side said: "We gave the same response."

Bernstein's mind was like a mirror, and it was likely that Manchester United's offer was also around 13 million pounds.

And now, it was his turn to raise his hand!

So he decisively made an offer: "We offer 15 million pounds!"
