Red Rebels

As the time has entered July, the World Cup in France has gradually reached its climax, but the match days are gradually decreasing, so the business of the bar is also up and down.

Of course, during the World Cup, even when business is at its worst, it is still much better than usual.

Sometimes, Xiao Yu felt that England fans came to the bar no longer purely for drinking and talking about football, they regarded the bar more as a way of life adjustment, a kind of low-cost entertainment.

Since the establishment of the new Manchester United, Walsh has changed the name of the bar to the Red Rebels. On the day of the name change, he was very proud to invite Bruce, Keane, Giggs and others, and then announced in public that this It is the first fan bar in the history of the new Manchester United, and also formed the first fan organization of the new Manchester United [Red Rebels] that night.

Xiao Yu walked into the bar and immediately began to greet people continuously.

"Where's Andy?" After finally reaching the bar, Xiao Yu asked the bartender.

"In the box!" The bartender pointed to the box.

Xiao Yu nodded and pointed to Curtis, "Please give me a glass of beer, a big one, and a glass of juice for him, thank you!" After speaking, he took the lead towards the box.

After knocking on the door a few times, Walsh came to open the door. Apart from him, Mark David and Steve Bruce were in the box.

"Hehe, what a coincidence, everyone is here!" Xiao Yu walked into the box, secretly receiving Walsh's signal.

"It's okay to be idle at home, and they just called to ask me out, so I came to sit down!" Bruce, who seldom hangs out in bars, explained. As for Mark David, who hangs out in bars all day long, he is used to it.

"Come to the bar more, let's adjust it!" Xiao Yu sat down with a smile, and then looked at David, "Mark, I heard that you are going to study in the United States?"

"Yeah, my brother works in a securities company over there, and he helped me contact a prestigious university, and wants me to go there to increase my value." Mark David looked around the box very reluctantly, he was almost more interested in this place. I am still familiar with my own home.

"When are you leaving?" Xiao Yu asked concerned.

"In a few days, but to be honest, I really don't want to be here." David said reluctantly.

Walsh on the side walked over, slapped him on the shoulder, and then sat down on the sofa, "It's okay, it's not that you won't come back after you go, besides, you should really learn more while you are young." , look at your elder brother, he is doing well in the United States at a young age, and it is said that the company he works for is well-ranked on Wall Street in the United States."

"My elder brother likes to do this. He studies the stock market, futures, venture capital and so on all day long. I feel overwhelmed when I read it. I'm not interested in these at all." David's face is sour, you don't know With an expression on his face, he picked up his glass and drank a few swigs.

"So what do you like?" Bruce asked with a smile beside him.

"Football!" David replied as a matter of course.

"But can football be eaten?" Walsh almost slapped him.

"So I didn't refuse to study in the United States?" David muttered.

Seeing his reluctance and reluctance, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"How about this, Mark, I will go to America with you in a few days." Xiao Yu said suddenly.

"You go too, why?" David asked in surprise.

Not only him, everyone present was a little surprised, and Xiao Yu had never heard of it before.

"It's like this. I thought about it. The inheritance and insurance money left by my parents, plus the money from selling the shop, are indeed enough for the club to operate for several years, but I don't want to sit and eat like this, so I plan to Invest it."

No one, including Walsh, knows how much money Xiao Yu has. The only thing that is known is that Xiao Yu invested 300,000 pounds when the club was established.

But now the money has almost been spent, so Xiao Yu's plan for a rainy day is also understandable, after all, it is impossible to make money by playing football.

"Investment, then my brother is the most suitable, but what are you planning to invest in?"

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "I have been researching for a long time. After Steve Jobs returned to Apple, he has successfully stabilized the company's decline. I think that the next time Apple will show its strength , I am very bullish on the stock of this company.”

Apple's name is known to those present, but it is difficult to let a group of fans who rarely dabble in anything other than football know what Steve Jobs means to Apple.

Of course, it is even more impossible for Xiao Yu to tell them directly that the 1,000 US dollars invested in Apple in 1998 will become 30,000 US dollars in 2008, and the value will increase by 30 times. If this is the case, the whole world will know that he has crossed.

However, Xiao Yu's most important thing is obviously not only the stock of Apple, which can indeed make money, but it certainly can't make a lot of money. What he values ​​more is Google, which is about to be established and recruits the first venture capital investment. But I haven't been able to find an investor. If I seize this opportunity, it will definitely be a huge profit.

Of course, Xiao Yu had other plans, such as the Asian economic crisis in 1998, and the Russian ruble crisis on September 2. In just one day, the ruble depreciated by 70%. These advance news were enough for Xiao Yu to take the opportunity to make a fortune. a sum.

There is no way, if you want to play football leisurely, you are embarrassed to say tens of millions of dollars, just look at Chelsea and Manchester City in the later generations, which bosses behind them are not casually spending hundreds of millions of dollars?

As a time traveler, Xiao Yu is naturally impossible to be taken advantage of by spending a lot of money on small things, but at the very least, enough money is definitely needed. Once there is no money, let alone a champion, I am afraid that he will not even be able to keep a player.

"Well, let me tell my brother, stay a few more days, and we will go there together." It is rare to have an ideal excuse, and David naturally cannot let it go easily.

"Then at least until the beginning of August." Bruce thought for a while and suggested.

"I also thought the same way. At that time, the team's warm-up match was over and the league hadn't started yet. Most of the matters had been planned. If I stayed for a few days, it shouldn't affect the operation of the team."

After becoming a boss, it is definitely impossible to imagine leaving the shopkeeper behind like before. Unless Xiao Yu can be as rich as Abu, then he can still drive a yacht and enjoy the blessings of everyone with beautiful female models in his arms.

"However, now I feel that there is one most important event that must be done!" Xiao Yu suddenly pretended to be mysterious with a smile.

"What?" Bruce didn't notice the strangeness.

Walsh did not know when to get a document bag, took it, and handed it to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu took out a contract from the file bag and handed it to Bruce, "Of course we need to finalize our head coach first!"

David was taken aback, but soon laughed and booed, Curtis also looked excited, growing up so big, it was obviously his first time to attend the signing ceremony of the head coach.

"We are a small club, and the salary cannot be too high. We can only give a monthly salary of 500 pounds. As for the contract period, you can fill it out yourself. You can fill it in for as long as you like!" The smile was replaced by a serious face.

"Steve, once again, I sincerely hope that you can become the head coach of our team, lead our young team, and create a legendary journey that belongs to us!"

"Yeah, Steve, promise us!" Walsh also helped out.

"Sign it, don't hesitate, Steve!" David even wanted to grab Steve's hand and sign for him.

Curtis on the side also looked nervous, looking at Bruce, he was very worried that Bruce would refuse.

A weekly salary of 500 pounds is indeed not high, but for a newly established amateur club, it can definitely be regarded as a high salary. Even for those professional clubs in the third division, many head coaches may not be able to get such a high salary. salary.

Bruce raised his head, looked at Xiao Yu, then shook his head, so scared that everyone present thought he was going to refuse.

Unexpectedly, he said: "As far as I know, the club is not rich now. It cost 80,000 pounds to treat Messi before, and then it will also arrange home and league affairs. Wouldn't it be worse to pay me £500 a month?"

"Don't worry, Steve, I can't do anything else, but it's okay to settle accounts. I've been working as a cashier in my father's supermarket since I was a child, and I can't make mistakes in calculating accounts." Happy.

"Forget about the salary, I'm obliged to take 1 pound, and you can use the rest of the money where it should be used."

Bruce's proposal was immediately cheered and supported by Walsh, David and Curtis, but Xiao Yu obviously didn't think so.

"No, friends are friends, but we are talking about work now, Steve, you work for the club, the club pays you, this is a matter of course, not only you, in a few days, I will also consider giving Andy's salary, because this is a job, has nothing to do with favors, friends, morals, etc.!"

"Of course, Steve, I know you have great ambitions, and you are indeed very capable, but you just lack some experience. I believe that in the near future, there will definitely be some high-level teams offering olive branches to you. I can Guaranteed by my personality, I will not set up obstacles for you, as if I will never forget the help you gave me and the club when we were in the most difficult time! I am even willing to write this into the contract! "

Walsh and David didn't have much scheming in normal times. When Xiao Yu said it now, they immediately understood that the reason why Bruce only charged a symbolic £1 was because he didn't want the new Manchester United to keep him when a team invited him to coach in the future. As a result, everyone broke up unhappy, and in the end they couldn't even be friends.

And Xiao Yu's guarantee was obviously to avoid Bruce's worries.

"Well, since you said so, then I can only agree, the contract period is temporarily signed for two years, what do you think?" Bruce asked with a smile.

Xiao Yu definitely has no problem with this!

Seeing Bruce carefully sign his name on the contract that Xiao Yu had already signed, these days, the big stone hanging on Xiao Yu's heart can finally be let go.
