As Adriaan expected, Liu Yifei's photo immediately appeared in the British media after the "Harry Potter" production team announced the actress who got the role of Zhang Qiu. Although the production team did not tell the reporters her home address, it was impossible for her school not to have fans of the Harry Potter series. It was almost impossible for her not to leak the news. Therefore, the school and the outside of her address were immediately surrounded by a crowd.
Although the media's reaction was swift, Liu Yifei had received a lot of targeted training before this, so she responded appropriately. She was graceful and likable, which matched the obedient and demure appearance in the photo. Plus, the photo was a photo of her wearing Lavin Krau's school uniform, which gave people a very elegant feeling. Moreover, her mediocre interpersonal relationship at school helped a little, preventing the media from digging up any negative news. Her mother also tried her best to remain silent in front of the reporters under Adriaan's instructions, so she quickly received a lot of support.
Of course, there were tabloids that criticized her for only migrating two years ago, but most of the news was positive. Who knew what kind of reaction would there be after the news was reported in mainland China?
However, this was a matter for the future. It would take some time for the news to spread from Britain to China, and then there would be sufficient fermentation before the results could be seen. It was not a few years later, and the influence of the internet in China still needed to be expanded. Therefore, Adriaan focused his energy on other things.
"Tell me the truth, Eide. What's your relationship with this girl?" In a small room, Little Emma crossed her arms and squinted at Adriaan, as if something serious would happen if he did not give her the answer she wanted. As a member of the "Harry Potter" production team who had already started preparing for the next movie, plus she was quite popular, how could she not know about the problem of Zhang Qiu's casting?
"What's wrong?" Adriaan asked with a smile, ignoring the threatening look in her eyes.
Little Emma raised her eyebrows, but she did not say anything. Instead, the corner of her mouth slightly curled up. "Okay, I already know the answer. Really … poor girl. Doesn't she know that the demon king loves to seduce girls into depravity?"
"Emma!" Adriaan shouted angrily, rolling his eyes. The girl then giggled, but before they could continue, Kyla's voice came. "Hey, what are you guys hiding here for?!"
"I was just chatting with Eide." Little Emma giggled and patted Kyla's arm. She turned around and slipped out. The party was still going strong outside.
"Don't you guys talk a lot? There's a party at my house today. "Kyla was a little displeased. She obviously did not notice the complicated relationship between them.
"The third installment of the Harry Potter series is about to start filming. I thought of some ideas at the last minute, so I wanted to ask Emma for her opinion." Adrian explained, and then he asked, "Kyla, are you interested in acting in this series? You're going to be the best British actor in the world. "
"Thank you." Kyla's look of dissatisfaction immediately disappeared. "But the roles in this series seem to have been assigned?"
"Don't worry. There will definitely be new roles in the future." Adriaan laughed. "I'll take that as a yes."
With that, he walked out of the house without waiting for Kyla's reply.
It was a party that Kyla held at home. Although she was a little unruly and neurotic, she still made a few good friends in the circle. This time, Love Actually gathered a large number of famous British actors, so with the help of her parents, Kyla organized this party and invited all of them.
Adriaan met many familiar faces, such as Richard Curtis, Alan Rickman, and Emma Thompson. They had either worked with them before, acted in the Harry Potter series, or both. For example, Emma Thompson had already agreed to play the neurotic Professor Sybil Trelawny in the third movie. It was just that he did not know if she would not appear in the later parts of the series due to cuts or something else.
But that was obviously not the main point.
"How do I look?" Kyla turned around in front of the mirror and walked in front of Adriaan.
"Not bad." Looking at the satisfied look on her face, Adrian certainly wouldn't say anything unpleasant. Anyway, from a visual point of view, it was indeed very good. Although it was only about the size of a B, with the magic bra as a foil, it was still a good cleavage. If it weren't for the fact that it was a little too early for her to show off her sexiness, and that she might have wanted to make her breasts bigger, he guessed that she might have been walking around the party in low-cut clothes today.
Sure enough, after admiring herself in the mirror a few more times, Kyla suddenly felt annoyed and threw her bra aside.
"Eide, do you think I can be bigger?" She asked him, cupping her own soft breasts. It was a common thing for her to be like this.
"It's very difficult." Adrian shrugged his shoulders and looked at the two red spots that were propped up. "You've basically finished puberty now."
What a joke. B was already pretty good. Carter, Charlie, and the others were not just a little better than B. Of course, such words could not be said at this time.
"Does that mean it's still possible?" Kyla did not listen at all.
Adriaan could not help but feel a headache coming on. Sometimes, she could really be very stubborn. But thinking of all the things in his previous life, he could understand and tolerate Kyla every time.
"This is your party." But tolerance did not mean connivance, so he immediately changed the topic.
"So what? Everyone knows that I have something to talk to you about." Kyla did not care. "I pulled you away in front of them. I did it fair and square."
"But if someone barges in and sees us like this …" Adriaan gestured with his hands.
"I locked the door from the inside," the girl replied quickly.
"Then it's like telling everyone that there's something wrong between us." Adriaan sighed.
"But there's nothing wrong between us, and I've never slept with you," Kyla said confidently.
"Other people won't think that way. As long as they find out that we were alone in a room with the door locked, they will start thinking about it." Adriaan spread his hands.
"That's even simpler. I'll just say that you locked the door from the inside and that you wanted to violate me!" Kyla immediately put on a shameless expression and deliberately puffed out her chest. Faced with this situation, Adriaan could only roll his eyes.
"Fine, I take back what I said just now." Kyla suddenly sighed. Although she was stubborn, a little narcissistic, and a little neurotic, she was not someone who would pester others endlessly, especially in front of people who treated her well.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going out." Adriaan smiled and stood up. Then he looked at her chest and suddenly said, "Can I kiss you? After all, this is my … work. "
Kyla squinted and then puffed out her chest. "You can only kiss. No pinching, rubbing, or sucking."
Adrian couldn't help but laugh as he bent down to observe the pair of softness from a distance. It was only when the two captivating red spots hardened under his gaze that he laughed heartily and kissed them.
"Eide …" Just as he walked to the door, Kyla, who was wearing clothes and blushing, suddenly stopped him. "Same old place, right?"
"Yes." Adriaan smiled. He knew that she was asking about the hotel room. There was no need to say more.
Since they were in London, and she was at home, it was basically impossible to cancel this kind of thing. Even if Kyla's chest did not need a massage anymore. To be honest, Adriaan had no problem eating her now. Unfortunately, even if he really wanted to, especially when he could not taste Liu Yifei's delicate body, he could not take action. Otherwise, all the planning would be meaningless. In the end, there were only fingers and fingers.
"It's okay. In another two or three years, I can get my money back with interest!" As he left London, Adriaan said this as he looked out the window at the runway. From this point, it could be seen that his willpower was very strong.
His stay in London this time was relatively short. It was only two days after resolving the matter of Zhang Qiu's casting, and he set foot on the road back before the third movie started shooting. As for the real headache of little Emma … he did not care about that for the time being. In short, although his time in London was short, he unexpectedly found an opportunity.
Previously, Adriaan had planned to buy an English Premier League football club. He originally wanted to take Chelsea from Abramovich's hands, but when he was in London, he learned that several football clubs were actually listed companies! This was really … strange and stupid!
Yes, strange and stupid. Not to mention others, just look at other European countries. Which football club was listed? Again, the simplest example was that Adriaan wanted the Lakers, but as long as Jerry Buss refused to let go, he had no better way. Perhaps he could use his power to suppress others, but the Buss family could also fight to the death. In the end, it was likely that the Lakers would not get it, and their good reputation would be lost.
The reason why Buss could let go and accept the investment now was that the huge strength of AC Media could play a very good role in promoting the Lakers, followed by other reasons. The key to this situation was that the club was not a listed company. As long as most of the shares were concentrated in the hands of one person or one family, as long as they did not sell, there was no way to buy it.
It was simple once it was listed. In the face of capital, any resistance was powerless. A little carelessness, and the control would change hands in the blink of an eye.
Although there was no outstanding talent in finance and management, and as the chairman of the board of directors of AC Media, Adriaan was still in this position after all, and he still understood a lot of things. In addition, the two secretaries before and after him were very talented in this area, so it was not difficult to guess why the guys who wanted the club to go public.
Just look at the time when the listing was concentrated in the mid- 1990s. These people just wanted to take advantage of the good economic situation to make money. For a profit of only a few million, they created the risk that the control might be taken away. Should it be said that they were short-sighted? The billionaire Adriaan, who had a place in the top ten of the Forbes rich list based on his superficial assets, snorted disdainfully in his heart.
Many of these listed clubs were very famous. Even a fake fan like him in his previous life had heard of one. It was the award-winning Manchester United, known as the Red Devils.
Adriaan's interest instantly shifted to Manchester United. It was a very famous and highly developed English Premier League team. If he wanted to buy an English Premier League team, why not choose the best one? It was not difficult. Rupert Murdoch originally wanted to buy Manchester United in 1999, but because of its poor reputation, the Manchester fans unanimously opposed it. In the end, the British government had to step in and stop the deal.
Adriaan was confident that his reputation in the United Kingdom was better than Rupert Murdoch's. As long as he could appease these fans, the success of the acquisition was still very high. The profits from such a club with high commercial value were still considerable, and it was also a great help for ESPN's entry into Europe. It was a very good target.
However, one could not just look at the good side. The bad side also needed to be compared. For example, according to the information about Manchester United collected by people in London, even if it was a little rushed, it could still be judged that even if he successfully bought Manchester United with a good reputation, there would still be a considerable number of fans who would be dissatisfied. These people were very opposed to foreign capital controlling the club to the point of being very irrational. No matter how much Adriaan showed his friendliness, he would not gain their favor. Therefore, a successful acquisition of Manchester United would inevitably lead to the loss of some fans.
Moreover, Manchester United also had a shadow chairman who could not be offended, and that was Alex Ferguson, who had been in charge of Manchester United for decades. It could be said that Manchester United's current glory was single-handedly created by him. The power he had in the club was the envy of all managers. He was also respected by countless people in Manchester. When Manchester United won the Treble in 1999, he was also conferred a knighthood by Buckingham Palace.
The British manager, or the English manager, had a lot of power. The construction of the team, overall planning, transfer matters and so on were all the responsibility of the manager. The English manager was generally called the manager, and Ferguson had more power than the average English manager. Some people even said that Manchester United could leave anyone but Ferguson.
As mentioned before, Adriaan, a fake fan, only knew of Magic Bird as a manager. Although he had heard of Ferguson's name, he basically knew about it through the gossip of Beckham scratching his eyebrow with his shoe, and Beckham's transfer. Therefore, he had always thought that Ferguson was the chairman of Manchester United. It sounded a little funny, but from another perspective, it also showed where Ferguson's image in Manchester United had affected.
Under such circumstances, even if Adriaan wanted to seduce Magic Bird to the English Premier League, even if he wanted to move the players or the team's arrangements, as long as Ferguson did not agree, it would absolutely not be carried out. As for selling Ferguson, it was not a joke. If he did so, the football hooligans at Manchester United would definitely learn from Japan and punish him, or in other words, God's punishment.
Therefore, if he bought Manchester United, the image of Adriaan was just … a money bag. It was even possible that if the team did not perform well, it was because he did not invest enough money. If the team performed well, it was because of Sir Alex Ferguson. Even if he was very open-minded, even if he was used to being behind the scenes and good at delegating power, he would not like that image.
Now turning around to look at Chelsea, through the collected information, they had a lot of problems, such as nearly a hundred million in debt, no history to show, and had not won a top-level tournament championship for nearly 50 years. The European honor was the Cup Winners' Cup, but the tournament had now been cancelled, so Chelsea could almost be said to be a blank piece of paper.
And once he took over Chelsea, he would not be able to see the possibility of profit for at least two or three years, and it would not be of much help to ESPN's European strategy.
But then again, it was easier to paint on a blank piece of paper, wasn't it? Moreover, because of Magic Bird, Adriaan had a painting he made on Chelsea as a reference. As long as he copied it like a movie and modified the previous bad parts, the applause would only be greater.
Think about it, Adriaan saved Chelsea, fully discovered Mourinho, trusted him and gave him full authority, and finally made Chelsea a powerhouse. It felt good, didn't it? Moreover, Adriaan could give full authority to the coach, but it must be given by him, and not by the coach from the beginning. This was very important. This small difference could determine the outcome of many things over time.
"It's a headache." Sitting on the sofa on the plane, Adriaan, who was looking through the information on Manchester United and Chelsea, sighed. Each had its advantages and disadvantages, and it was not easy to make a choice.
"Do you need a massage?" Pu Yaka, who brought him coffee, asked immediately.
"Thank you, but no need." Adriaan smiled and stretched. He put his hand on her thigh and stroked it up and inside. The short skirts of the stewardess uniforms were modified. If there were extra people on board, his "darlings" would wear their normal uniforms, but if Adrian was the only one on board, they would wear their current uniforms. There was nothing special about it, except that the wrap-around skirt was very short, basically level with the base of the thigh, and a slight bend would reveal the contents inside.
"Eide." Pu Yaka just reminded him. If Elisa and Gulli knew about it, they would definitely shout things like breaking the rules and then come up to fight.
Adriaan smiled and did not speak. He just pulled her into his arms and let her sit on his lap. He stroked the bottom of the skirt and kissed her passionately.
After indulging his lust for a while, he finally felt much better. He put this troubling matter aside, and then looked at the Indian girl who had already responded to his kisses and caresses, and an idea suddenly came to him.
"Pu Yaka." He stopped his hand that was violating her. "Have you ever thought about continuing to go to medical school?"
"Continue to go to medical school?" Pu Yaka, who was aroused, quickly calmed down and looked at Adriaan with some surprise. "You mean … continue to go to medical school, Eide?"
The meaning behind Adrian's words wasn't as simple as it sounded.
"Yes?" Adriaan nodded seriously.
