Goldfinger is a bit strange
Chapter 861 I just heard a joke (1/2)
The full name of the English Football Association is the Football Association of England, which is the earliest official football management organization in the world.
This is mainly because the birthplace of modern football is England.
Those who can become the chairman of the English Football Association are not ordinary people, either football celebrities or very prestigious nobles.
For example, the later Prince William once served as the chairman of the English Football Association.
But the current Prince William is still a little kid of seven or eight years old.
And the current chairman of the English Football Association, Earl Martin, also smiled and greeted Liu Qingshan and his party.
The old earl is nearly sixty years old, and his big oily hair is still combed meticulously. He wears a black tuxedo with a snow-white lining, which reveals a bit of nobility.
He has elegant manners and a friendly demeanor: "Oh, Mr. Mountain, welcome to you, this outstanding young man!"
Liu Qingshan wore a clean and neat Chinese stand-up collar, and the whole person was full of vigor, especially on his handsome face, that confident smile, compared with the old nobles in front of him, he was not inferior at all. .
"Count Martin, I'm glad to see you. How could I let you greet me in person? I'm ashamed." Liu Qingshan also bowed in return.
The old count laughed heartily: "Mr. Mountain, I think the ladies in the hall are the ones who are happy to see you."
Such a ball, of course, cannot be without those ladies from famous families.
Especially young people like Liu Qingshan, who are young, rich, and talented, are simply killers of those ladies.
In the upper class society of England, there has always been chaos. It is normal for noble ladies to have a lover, and it often becomes a good talk after dinner.
For example, the famous Princess Diana, on the one hand, donated her assets many times to help the poor, so she was deeply loved by the lower class.
On the other hand, after the discord with Charles, there were also several rumored lovers.
It's a pity that Diana's fate was unfortunate, and most of them were entrusted to the wrong people.
Just like one of her lovers, James, an equestrian coach, his character was very low, and for money, he shamelessly betrayed Diana.
Just for the high publishing fee, he published the book "The Crown Princess in Love" and shamelessly shouted: Give me 100,000 pounds, I will tell you everything that happened.
Such a guy can no longer be described as hateful.
Liu Qingshan was not interested in being on the tabloids with those famous ladies or noble ladies, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Earl, I am more interested in football."
Count Martin raised his eyebrows: "I like football too."
The two smiled at each other, and then Liu Qingshan introduced Gao Lingfeng and Lao Cui, as well as Jiaju, Huanzi, A Mao and others who came with him, and then walked into the hall.
Although Liu Qingshan didn't like this kind of occasion, it was still necessary for his singers to show their faces more.
In the hall, the crystal chandeliers were bright, the melodious music echoed, and the men and women were either walking on the dance floor or whispering on the sofa, outlining a gathering scene of the upper class.
Liu Qingshan wrinkled his nose, he seemed to smell a luxurious atmosphere that belonged to this level.
Count Martin still thinks highly of Liu Qingshan. He clapped his hands gently: "Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce you solemnly. This is Mr. Mountain from China!"
Polite and reserved applause rang out. I don't know whether it was for the count's face or for Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan also bowed slightly: "I am very happy to meet you. You can call me by my Chinese name Liu Qingshan."
Then, everyone returned to their original state and enjoyed themselves.
It is very difficult for a stranger, especially a bumpkin from a backward place like China, to mix into the aristocratic circle.
Of course, Liu Qingshan was not interested in this.
There were also several people who came up to say hello to Liu Qingshan. Among them, a middle-aged man in his fifties caught Liu Qingshan's attention: Isn't this the famous Sir Ferguson?
This man was a player and later coached Manchester United. He had a brilliant record and was awarded the lower honor of knight by the royal family.
He is also unique in joining the ranks of aristocrats because of football.
Liu Qingshan told Gao Lingfeng and Lao Cui to do as they pleased, and then he sat on the sofa with Count Martin and Sir Ferguson and started chatting.
The topic of the three people was naturally about football, so they had a very pleasant chat.
After the warm-up, Martin finally introduced the topic: "Liu, I heard that you are very interested in football and want to acquire a team. I wonder if you are interested in developing here?"
Liu Qingshan smiled: "If we can invite Sir Ferguson to be the coach, there will be absolutely no problem."
The three laughed together. Everyone knew that Ferguson would never leave Manchester United, so this was just a joke from Liu Qingshan.
But it still showed that he was obviously interested.
Martin was very confident: "Liu, do you need me to recommend one? I am very familiar with the teams in all leagues."
In England today, football clubs are divided into A, B, C and D, and the later Premier League has not yet been born.
"I would like to hear more about it." Liu Qingshan also prefers to acquire an English team. After all, the football market here is quite hot.
It has a long historical heritage and can also generate new vitality. Even if you buy a team and leave it alone for a few years, when those rich people start waving their money to buy teams, you can make a fortune by reselling it.
Martin was obviously well prepared and introduced several teams with a long history, then changed the subject: "If we talk about the oldest team in Great Britain, it must be Notts County FC."
This is true. Notts County FC was founded in 1862 and is the oldest existing club.
It has a history of more than 100 years and is the oldest club in the world.
It's just that most fans may not have heard of this name, because this team basically wandered around in the second and third divisions and had long since withdrawn from the ranks of strong teams.
However, Liu Qingshan studied this team after preparing to acquire the team, so he was still very clear.
So he asked about the current situation of Notts County FC knowingly, and Martin of course said something nice.
He was commissioned by the club to be a lobbyist, so of course he had to say something nice.
Liu Qingshan smiled but didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
After Martin finally stopped praising him, Liu Qingshan laughed and said, "I just heard a joke two days ago."
"It is said that Notts County Club played against Manchester United in the FA Cup, and the head coach told the players of Notts County Club not to exchange jerseys with Manchester United stars, otherwise the club would not have the money to buy them new jerseys."
After that, Liu Qingshan turned to Ferguson: "Sir, I wonder if this rumor is true?"
Ferguson could only laugh dryly, and then signaled Martin with his eyes: Old man, don't fool young people, they know everything.
Martin's face was neither red nor white. If he was not thick-skinned, he would not be a qualified nobleman, so he continued:
"Although the team has temporarily encountered some financial difficulties due to management problems, for Mr. Liu, problems that can be solved with money are still problems?"
Gu Yan's words sounded comfortable, and it is estimated that ordinary young people would be flattered immediately.
Liu Qingshan knew what was going on. He certainly knew the current situation of Nottingham County Club:
The club was not doing well and was currently heavily in debt, owing more than 2 million pounds.
If it weren't for the donations from Nottingham's diehard fans, the club would probably not be able to continue operating.
But as Martin said, Liu Qingshan really didn't care. He was interested in the team's brand.
As for strength, it can be quickly improved by recharging.
Liu Qingshan was already quite satisfied, but he would not express his opinion so quickly.
Although he couldn't bargain like buying vegetables in the market, Liu Qingshan didn't want to spend money in vain. His money was not blown by the wind.
But the two old foxes on the opposite side obviously guessed Liu Qingshan's thoughts. Ferguson smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, Nottingham needs a savior like you now."
Liu Qingshan understood: these two people probably had already linked up and were waiting for him to fall into the trap.
However, Liu Qingshan was also willing to do this. Although the team is now very cheap, it will soon usher in a huge appreciation space. At that time, it is still unclear who will suffer and who will benefit.
The most important thing is that Liu Qingshan can select players with potential with his detached vision and abundant financial resources. At that time, he will definitely make Nottingham Forest a top giant.
By that time, the starting price of the team will be more than 10 billion.
He was also curious about how much a team is worth now, so he smiled and said, "Count Martin, if I take over Nottingham Forest Club, what conditions are required?"
Martin was overjoyed: "One million pounds, for Mr. Mountain, this is not a problem at all."
Is it so cheap?
Liu Qingshan couldn't believe it. Thinking about the future, the acquisition price of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars is simply too cheap.
Should I buy a few more?
But he didn't act impulsively: "How to deal with the team's foreign debt?"
"Well, of course, the club's successor needs to bear it." Martin's smile was somewhat awkward. After all, it was already more than three million pounds.
Even the mid-level teams in the current English League One are not worth this price, let alone a League Two team like Nottingham Forest?
Sure enough, Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "Earl, I need time to think about it."
Dealing with these nobles is troublesome, and you can't bargain with real swords and guns.
Martin was entrusted by someone, and his bottom line was: as long as he found someone willing to take over the club's debt, he would be thankful.
So he hurriedly said: "Of course, the funds for acquiring the club are mainly given to local governments for urban construction."
"When the time comes, I will negotiate with them to see if I can collect some symbolically, but the team's debt cannot be erased in any case."
When Liu Qingshan heard this, he basically knew in his heart: it seems that two million pounds can basically be taken down.
At the moment, this money is not small.
But two million pounds is enough to buy the world's oldest football club.
The two sides reached a preliminary verbal agreement, so they were in a good mood. A waiter came over and poured red wine for the three people, and the three bottles were gently clinked together.
So far, Liu Qingshan has obtained a ticket to enter the English football world.
I wonder how much trouble this cross-river dragon will cause in the football world?
At this time, a waiter walked up to Count Martin and whispered a few words. The Count gestured to Liu Qingshan and went out to greet him.
Of course, it is not an ordinary person who can ask the earl to greet him personally.
When the earl accompanied a woman in an evening gown and elegant appearance into the hall, the eyes of everyone in the hall were involuntarily attracted, and then warm applause rang out.
Liu Qingshan just thought of Princess Diana, but he didn't expect that she would appear in front of him so soon.
It must be said that Princess Diana has a unique temperament, with a bit of innocence in her elegance. She is less than 30 years old, which is the most mature season for women.
She had a charming smile on her face and nodded gently. At this moment, all the other women in the hall were eclipsed.
This crown princess of the British Empire gave birth to two sons for Charles. She was compassionate and often did charity activities, so she had a very high reputation among the people.
It's a pity that once you enter the family of the marquis, it's like entering the deep sea, and the prominent status will ruin your life. The crown prince didn't actually love his wife, but chose Diana because the empire needed a princess.
The marriage of the two was not happy. After a few years of marriage, they were already separated in appearance and in spirit. They officially separated in 1992, divorced in 1996, and died in a car accident in 1997.
The song "Candle in the Wind" made people who loved Princess Diana all over the world cry.
And the Crown Prince may also be cursed. It is still unclear whether he can inherit the throne in his lifetime.
Because his mother, the European grandmother, was so long-lived, the Crown Prince's hair turned white, but it is still unknown whether he can survive his mother in the end.
Maybe the one who will inherit the throne in the end is Princess Diana's son, Prince William?
After some socializing, Princess Diana came to Liu Qingshan under the guidance of Earl Martin.
Liu Qingshan also bowed with a smile, and Count Martin introduced: "This is Mr. Mountain from China."
Princess Diana's eyes were like stars in the night sky: "Hello, Mr. Mountain, I heard MJ mention you, saying that you are a talented musician."
Princess Diana had an almost obsessive love for music, and had a very good relationship with Michael Jackson, and even attended MJ's concert.
On the day Princess Diana died, MJ also cancelled his concert.
"You are too kind." Liu Qingshan smiled and said politely. For the princess in front of him, his heart was also full of love and sighs.
"Mr. Mountain, I like to listen to the song "The Last Mohican" you played." Princess Diana sat down on the sofa opposite and talked about music:
"My charity foundation has also held a fundraising event specifically for this purpose to help the indigenous people improve their lives."
"Thank you, it's my honor." This was a bit beyond Liu Qingshan's expectations.
From Princess Diana's eyes, Liu Qingshan really felt the light of kindness and mercy.
"Mr. Mountain, I wonder if I have the honor to ask you to compose a song for me?" At this moment, Princess Diana was a bit like a little fan who met her idol.
Liu Qingshan blinked: What to sing, the song Candle in the Wind?
March, early spring.

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim blood rain.
The city was full of broken walls and ruins, and everything was withered. Collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, withering silently.
The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.
The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.
Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fluff had long been soaked into wet red, full of gloom and weirdness.
The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, and looked at the mottled stones in front of them alone.
There, a figure was lying.
This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered clothes, full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his worn-out coat from all directions, swept through his body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog about seven or eight feet away from him, and sometimes vigilantly observed the surroundings.
It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, the slightest movement would instantly take it into the air.

After a long time, the opportunity came, and the greedy vulture finally completely immersed its head in the belly of the wild dog.
