The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 003
003 I’m Really Looking for You
The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and golden light pierced through the clouds, sprinkling all over the earth.
Even Trevor Birch, accustomed to the changing weather at Leeds, could not help but look at the inexplicable and inappropriate sunlight. But it’s warm, isn’t it?
Zhong Cheng, who was leaning against the window, turned his head to look at the sky. The sunlight was very dazzling.
Zhong Cheng smiled and said, “Heh, this weather is really like chocolate!”
Trevor Birch stared at Zhong Cheng and said, “You’re really a lucky kid!”
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “Yes, I think so too!”
Trevor Birch rolled his eyes at Zhong Cheng. “Are you sure you want to buy Leeds United?”
Zhong Cheng nodded and said, “Of course!”
Although he knew that Zhong Cheng was a lucky man, he had won the lottery. However, he was still not optimistic that Zhong Cheng would buy Leeds United. Leeds United was not a good acquisition target.
Leeds United are now a Champions League team and a heavily indebted Champions League team.
With Zhong Cheng’s current value, it would be better to buy another Champions League team than to buy Leeds United. At the very least, Zhong Cheng would not be in debt.
Trevor Burch went straight to the point: “I don’t recommend you buy Leeds United!”
Zhong Cheng naturally knew why.
However, Zhong Cheng had to buy Leeds United. He stared at Trivo Birch and said seriously, “I have to buy Leeds United!”
Trevor Burch asked, “Why?”
Zhong Cheng smiled and said, “I am a Leeds fan!”
Trivor Burch said: “I know! But it’s not worth it to buy Leeds United, and you’re going to be heavily indebted and have no financial resources. How are you going to run the team in the future? How are you going to pay off your debts?”
Zhong Cheng said very sincerely: “I am a Leeds United fan, the most loyal fan!”
Trivo Birch stared at Zhong Cheng. He saw the determination in Zhong Cheng’s eyes. He knew that Zhong Cheng was unable to pull back even nine cows.
Trevor Burch sighed and said, “How are you going to solve the debt problem? How are you going to run the team in the future?”
To be honest, Trivo Burch was not optimistic about Zhong Cheng. He thought that Zhong Cheng was completely using money to waste. It was impossible to say that after a season, Leeds United would change their name again.
Zhong Cheng also knew that this was a problem that needed to be solved urgently.
However, Zhong Cheng already had his own plans. After all, he had memories of later generations. Although it wasn’t easy for him to earn a lot of money, it wasn’t very difficult. Moreover, he already had the capital in his hands. Using money to make money should be very fast.
The top priority now is to buy Leeds United immediately, as the European summer transfer window opens for the new season and if they do not buy Leeds United soon, they may miss the transfer window.
Zhong Cheng said very seriously, “Trivo, don’t worry, I have a way to solve all these problems. Right now, our only problem is to buy Leeds United.”
Trivo Birch looked at Zhong Cheng quietly. Although he did not know how Zhong Cheng would solve these problems, he still believed in Zhong Cheng. After so many days of contact, he knew what kind of person Zhong Cheng was!
Trevor Birch nodded and said, “Alright! Leave the acquisition of Leeds United to me!”
Trivor Burch, who had just resigned from Leeds United after being marginalised, was well aware of the situation at Leeds United and was most suited to deal with it.
Zhong Cheng immediately nodded and said, “Yes, I’ve caused you trouble!”
Trevor Birch shook his head and said, “It’s not troublesome. You’re giving me money. I should thank you, haha!”
Zhong Cheng immediately rolled his eyes at Trivo Birch and said indifferently, “Don’t worry, the benefits of taking down Leeds United are indispensable to you!”
Trevor Birch gave Zhong Cheng a “you know” expression, then picked up the coffee in front of him and took another sip, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Trevor Burch was a man who liked coffee very much!
Zhong Cheng still gently stirred the coffee in front of him. The coffee in front of him was no longer hot, but his hand still did not stop.
Suddenly, Trivo Birch looked up at Zhong Cheng and asked, “Hey! Oh right, I don’t know what your psychological price is yet.”
Zhong Cheng nodded. He had indeed never said anything about this.
Zhong Cheng had expected the psychological price to be around £ 15 million, which he could accept.
The £ 15 million was not given casually by Zhong Cheng, who has a point. Almost half a year ago, Gerald Krasna bought Leeds United for £ 22 million. At that time, Leeds United was a Premier League team, and now Leeds United is a Championship team.
And in Zhong Cheng’s memory, a year later, Bates spent £ 1, 000 on Leeds United. Therefore, Zhong Cheng thinks 15 million pounds is appropriate.
Zhong Cheng said directly, “Up to £ 15 million!”
Upon hearing this price, Trivo Birch nodded his head. The price was about the same, and it was very suitable. It seems that Zhong Cheng’s acquisition of Leeds United is not blind, Zhong Cheng should have done market research.
Trevor Burch said, “Well, that’s a good price. Don’t worry, I’ll settle it for you as soon as possible!”
Zhong Cheng was very grateful to Trivo Birch, “Thank you, my old friend!”
Trevor Birch was originally quite used to it, but when he heard the word “old”, his expression immediately turned ugly. He rolled his eyes at Zhong Cheng and scolded, “You are the old man, your entire family is the old man!”
Trevor Birch looked down on Zhong Cheng fiercely. Then, he stood up and said to the waiter beside him, “The old man in the seat pays the bill. Thank you!”
After saying that, Trivo Birch didn’t even look at Zhong Cheng and directly left with large strides, leaving behind only Zhong Cheng and the waiter with a smiling face.
◆◆◆◆◆
Thorpe Arch Training Base, Club Building, Office of the President.
Trevor Burch was asked by Zhong Chengzhi to discuss a deal with Leeds United.
Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man in his forties. His extremely intelligent head had a pair of black-framed eyes, making him look extremely intelligent. However, the corners of his eyes were long and narrow. It was as if his eyes had only opened once. He could tell at a glance that this person was the kind of scheming person.
The man was Gerald Krasna, chairman of the Leeds Union.
Half a year ago, he persuaded a group of local Leeds millionaires to buy enough Leeds United to become the chairman of the Leeds Union.
“Are you sure you’re not joking? Is he a gangster, a lunatic with a brain problem, worthy of buying Leeds United?” Gerald Krasner smiled.
Gerald Krasna looked contemptuously at Trivor Burch and mocked, “Are you out of your mind too? I’m not talking about you, Trivor. You’re really going back more and more alive!”
Gerald Krasner’s mocking and contemptuous eyes stabbed at Trivo Burch. Gerald Krasner was too arrogant and arrogant.
Trevor Burch clenched his fists, his knuckles pale.
Trevor Burch took a deep breath and said in as calm a voice as he could, “Mr. Krasner, what if I say we’re going to get Leeds United?”
Bang! Gerald Krasna slammed his palm on the table and let out a loud roar. ‘Impossible!’ he roared hoarsely. ‘Leeds United will never give it to a madman! Go back and tell him to let him die of this heart!’
Trevor Birch said very calmly, “In that case, there is no need for any further discussion. But, for the last time, I will definitely come back!”
With that, Trivo Burch glared at Gerald Krasna and turned to leave.
“Don’t even think about it. I’m telling you, as long as I’m here, you won’t be able to touch Leeds United!” Gerald Krasna’s shrill voice echoed in the corridor.
◆◆◆◆◆
Zhong Cheng was relieved that Trivo Birch was going to talk about buying Leeds United, and his heart relaxed a lot.
Walking along Piston Avenue, Zhong Cheng felt that the world was so beautiful even though the stench of rotting water came from his side.
On the way, Zhong Cheng couldn’t help but hum, “If my heart is there, my dream is there, there is still true love between heaven and earth. Looking at success and failure, my life is heroic, but it’s just a new beginning!”
“Hey, Little Zhong, what’s so good about you? Sing it up!” Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard a voice with a strong Shu language coming from behind him.
Turning his head, he saw the face of a forty-year-old oriental man.
The man wasn’t tall, and his body was a little thin, but he was full of spirit. The split-head of a popular traitor was his typical symbol.
Moreover, he wore a pair of round nearsighted glasses and looked like a traitor.
Zhong Cheng recognized that this person was a Chinese who lived nearby. His hometown was Nishikawa Lijiang, and his surname was Pan Mingan. He had the same name as the leader of the four great beauties of ancient China, but his appearance was different.
Zhong Cheng immediately greeted, “What tribulation (I thought it was) is it? It was Mr. Pan who made the fire!”
Pan An laughed loudly and said, “F*ck you (you little naughty), Nishikawa says it is (really) hard to get it! It can be done!”
Zhong Cheng was not from Nishikawa, so he could say a few words about Shu.
Zhong Cheng immediately said in Mandarin, “Hehe, I learned all this from Mr. Pan. Mr. Pan taught me well!”
Pan An said, “You know how to tease (that’s right). Learn more from your Uncle Pan in two days (from now on). I’ll take care of you for two days (you can go anywhere)!”
Zhong Cheng immediately said, “That’s right, that’s right!”
Pan An said enthusiastically, “Let’s go. Tonight, Hei Che (goes to) your Uncle Pan’s room. Let’s make hot pot (eats)!”
Zhong Cheng shook his head and said, “Forget it, Mr. Pan. I have things to do with Hull. I have plenty of time to eat hotpot for two days. I won’t accompany you today. You guys have a good time!”
Pan An pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, you’re busy with your chop. Uncle Pan, I’ll go back to chop first!”
Zhong Cheng immediately said, “Mr. Pan, slow down!”
Pan An waved his hand at Zhong Cheng and left.
Pan An was really enthusiastic. He had given Zhong Cheng a lot of help just a month after arriving here. Zhong Cheng was very grateful to Pan An.
Zhong Cheng also waved his hand at Pan An. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a person who looked like a Middle East person calling out to Pan An.
Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned. He was afraid that this Middle Eastern would harm Pan An, so he immediately walked up.
Zhong Cheng walked in and asked Pan An, “Mr. Pan, what’s going on?”
Pan An could tell that Zhong Cheng was worried about him. He smiled at Zhong Cheng and said to Zhong Cheng, “Little Zhong, this is Pan Hai’s teacher, Mr. Mohammed.”
Zhong Cheng nodded his head in greeting to the man opposite him. This man was a typical Middle Eastern man. He was a little fat and had a beard.
Seeing Zhong Cheng look over, Teacher Mohammed threw a warm smile at Zhong Cheng. He looked very friendly.
Mohammed greeted Zhong Cheng with a different smile, “Hello, Madman Loria!”
Hearing this address, Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly. It seemed that he was really a celebrity from the British mainland. Although he was helpless, Zhong Cheng still responded in a friendly manner, “Hello, Teacher Mohammed!”
Pan An looked at Zhong Cheng and said, “Hey, aren’t you alright?”
Zhong Chengshu’s dialect was indeed not good, so he said in Mandarin, “I suddenly remembered that I have something to discuss with you, so I followed!”
Pan An has been traveling all these years. Haven’t he experienced anything? He could tell that Zhong Cheng had come to help him because he was afraid that he would suffer a loss.
Pan An’s heart warmed up. He was very grateful. He said to Zhong Cheng, “Alright, then wait for Haher (wait a moment). Alright, I’ll arrange a meeting with Teacher Mohammed first!”
Zhong Cheng nodded, signaling for Pan An to be at ease.
Only then did Pan An turn around and continue to talk to Teacher Mohammed. Zhong Cheng heard very clearly that they were talking about Pan Hai. It seemed that Pan Hai was very mischievous when he was at school and often bullied his classmates. Mohammed hoped that Pan An would teach him well.
After saying this, Mohammed turned around and left.
Looking at Mohammed, Pan’an turned to Zhong Cheng and said, “Hey, don’t leave. Are you afraid that your uncle will be beaten up?”
Zhong Cheng smiled and said, “Mr. Pan, I really have something to ask of you!”
