At the end of the game, Chelsea defeated Ajax 4-1. With a smile on his face, Roman went to the stadium lounge to meet the players, shook hands cordially and handed out bonuses.
To be honest, whether it was before or after Abramovich took over, Chelsea was a top-notch giant. Especially after Abramovich took over, Chelsea did not lack stars, but they lacked the strength to match the stars.
It cost the same as Real Madrid to build the Galacticos. Sometimes Chelsea's big-name stars even beat Real Madrid, but the difference in results is a bit big. Real Madrid's Galacticos are the dominant players in the Champions League, while Chelsea's luxurious fleets often fail to even win the Premier League title, and even stop in the quarterfinals not once or twice.
When he wins, Abramovich is very generous, and the various bonuses and benefits make big-name stars jealous. Needless to say, when he loses, it goes without saying that it is common for the head coach to step down, and big-name stars are kicked out not once or twice.
For example, this time it is just an ordinary league game. Perhaps because of the arrival of Yang Dongxu, the boss of Barcelona, their forwards have scored more goals than the opponent. Moreover, Chelsea's results this year are really good, and they are even ranked higher than Barcelona in the Champions League. One person.
This made Roman, the big boss, very proud and very happy. He directly gave the player who scored today a bonus of 50,000 pounds for each goal, and then gave all the players on the field a bonus of 10,000 pounds. In addition to these, he also planned to hold a party. Celebrate. Even though the Premier League games are already dense, Chelsea has had several consecutive games in recent days.
But in the end, Toy persuaded Abnovich and he had no objection to rewarding players. He didn't care about the small amount of money, but if he celebrated like this for an ordinary win, he felt that it would definitely not be a good thing for the team.
As a top rich man, Roman would obviously be unhappy with others making irresponsible remarks about his decisions, but there are exceptions to everything. For example, he will listen to the advice of people of the same level as himself. Whether to act or not is another matter, but he will consider the suggestions.
"What kind of reward will there be for winning the Barcelona game?" The bonus was handed out, and Roman prepared to talk after the party was persuaded by Toy. The three people left the stadium and went to a top club next to the Thames River.
Roman and Troy were obviously regular customers here. When they came in, they didn't even need to show their membership cards or say what they wanted to do. A dedicated service staff took them to the top floor to provide attentive service.
"Occasionally, if I go to the team to inspect and happen to catch up with the game, I will give some extra rewards, but this is not often. Most of the time, the team operates in accordance with the club's rules and regulations. Since the rules have been set, It's better not to break it until something inappropriate appears." Yang Dongxu said.
Just now Troy persuaded Roman, who had been thinking about a question in his mind. After Chelsea in another world was acquired by Roman, it has been gathering big-name stars but its results have been very poor.
This Roman has to bear the main responsibility because he is too eager for quick success. After throwing away a lot of money, he must see the results. As for the process, he doesn't care.
Since we have spent money to buy big-name stars and given you a high salary as a head coach, if the team's performance is not good, just get out of here. This gives Chelsea a lot of strength, but there is no systematic head coach to bring this strength into play, and the results are naturally getting worse year by year.
But now there is another Toy, and Toy is a person who can check Roman's eagerness for quick success. If Chelsea buys back many big-name stars for this purpose, they can find a reliable head coach to settle down for a few years. Then Barcelona may have to face another strong opponent in the Champions League.
"The rules have been made and must be followed." Roman nodded, not realizing that for Chelsea, he was the one who often broke the rules without any consequences.
Or maybe it wasn't a rule-breaker in his eyes, because he was the Chelsea rule-maker but never felt he needed to enforce it seriously.
The three people were talking, and a familiar figure caught Yang Dongxu's eyes, and he couldn't help but pause. Roman and Troy followed Yang Dongxu's gaze and turned back.
A smile appeared on Roman's face, and Troy frowned and smiled. Then the figure Yang Dongxu saw walked towards this side.
"Natasha, long time no see?" Roman said hello with a smile and wave without getting up.
Natasha nodded and responded with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Roman. I heard that you recently acquired a wealthy football team, and the results seem to be very good."
"That's just natural. My team just beat the Dutch giant Ajax." Roman smiled even happier.
At his status, many things are not of great interest to him. But praise from people of the same status would make him very happy.
"Long time no see." Yang Dongxu also smiled and greeted Natasha.
Natasha nodded in response, not focusing on him, but looking at Troy: "Can Troy tell Uncle Ivan a word? I wanted to visit him before, but he didn't seem to want to see me. .”
"You said?" Troy sat up straight and raised his eyebrows.
"Recently, the Government Finance Bureau is preparing to audit domestic banks. I hope Uncle Ivan can cooperate." Natasha said.
"I will bring the message, but I can't guarantee whether my uncle is willing." Troy said.
"Just bring the message here. I still have guests over there so I won't disturb you." Natasha said with a smile, as if it was just a message. As long as the message reached her, she didn't really care about the outcome.
The three people watched Natasha leave, and then Yang Dongxu and Roman couldn't help but focus on Troy. Yang Dongxu didn't know what happened and didn't speak, while Roman frowned and didn't think for a moment.
"You'd better say hello to Uncle Ivan and don't go too far."
"I know, but I don't know if my uncle will adopt my opinion." Troy shrugged, with a mocking smile on his face.
Roman wanted to say something else, but in the end he didn't say it. Even as a friend, he couldn't interfere too much in such a matter. Moreover, although he and Toy were friends, they were not deeply involved in the Toy family's business, especially some assets in Russia. He knew exactly what he could and couldn't touch.
"The Bank of Russia is going to conduct a major audit in order to better control the domestic financial market and the ruble foreign exchange market." Toy said, not to Roman, who knew the news, but to Yang Dongxu.
Hearing what Tuoyi said, Yang Dongxu's eyes flickered, and then he nodded. When Natasha said about the Russian Bank audit, he thought he was just sending a message to old Ivan, but Troy emphasized this and he was basically sure what happened.
One of the most iron-fisted measures adopted by Emperor Putin after he came to power is to rectify the domestic financial oligarchic market. At least nine out of ten of the fallen Russian financial oligarchs were involved in the banking industry. In short, various losses in the Russian banking industry have made the Russian financial market a mess.
The family history behind Toy's family is that the banking industry is their main source of funds, and Yang Dongxu also enjoyed welfare through this channel.
After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, although the family behind Toi transferred some of its assets overseas for investment and management in order to have a way out, Toi still has a large part of the family business in Russia, among which the banking industry can be said to be theirs. The traditional back garden of the home.
If the Communist Party that came to power wants to hold the money bag of the banking industry in its own hands, then Old Ivan is an existence that cannot be circumvented no matter what.
"If possible, it's better to be restrained, or give up part of the interests to reach some kind of cooperation." Yang Dongxu pondered for a while and said.
Troy, who was originally frowning, paused for a moment and glanced at Yang Dongxu in surprise. Then his face became more and more solemn, and finally he nodded: "I will tell my uncle."
Seeing Troy's reaction, Roman also had a surprised look on his face, and he couldn't help but look Yang Dongxu up and down. Just now, Natasha politely walked away from Troy with a smile on her face and sent a message.
Troy also nodded and agreed in a dignified manner, but anyone could see that Troy was very resistant to Natasha's request, and even a little unhappy and annoyed.
But in the same sentence, Yang Dongxu even went a little deeper and directly gave Tuoyi advice. But Troy's reaction surprised Roman. He nodded in agreement very carefully.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and someone had told him about it, he would have thought the person telling him was joking. But now Yang Dongxu seems to have a much greater influence on Troy, or on Ivan, who has become increasingly mysterious over the years behind Troy, than he imagined. This is undoubtedly shocking and unexpected information.
The three of them talked for a while. At this time, the waiter came over to tell them that dinner was ready, so the three of them walked towards the restaurant together.
But before entering the box, the three of them saw Natasha again, and a group of them were also coming towards the VIP box in the restaurant. Natasha said this to a white man while walking, and on the other side of her followed several Asian faces who were obviously a head shorter.
When the three people saw each other, the other party also saw Yang Dongxu and the others. The man who was talking to Natasha looked stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said hello to Roman, but did not come forward to speak.
The waiter who led the way opened the door of a luxurious private room, and a group of people filed in.
"Gelder Gronav?" Troy frowned and looked at Abramovich with some uncertainty.
Roman nodded, his brows frowned unconsciously, and there was a solemn look between his brows.
"Big shot?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but asked curiously.
"One of the spokespersons of the royal family." Troy said with a frown.
This answer surprised Yang Dongxu, and at the same time he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. When such an important person met Natasha, and there were several Asians from Korea or Japan around him, he had to pay attention.
