Chapter 97

The emblem of Tottenham Hotspur is a fighting cock standing on a football.

Prince Xuan did not have a favorite Premier League team, and choosing which team made little difference to him, so he started by looking at the emblems.

After seeing Tottenham's emblem, he decided to buy Tottenham.

A rooster standing on the earth, a good omen.

He was going to build a rooster dynasty in the football world.

Even if Tottenham's foundation was weak, with continuous investment, he could turn Tottenham into a top club.

However, the investigation he had conducted showed that Tottenham was not weak.

Tottenham was founded in 1882 and was the first team in the 20th century to win the double of the English League and the FA Cup. It is also one of the three teams to have successfully defended the FA Cup, and the only team to have done so twice. In 1963, it won the European Cup Winners' Cup, becoming the first English team to win one of the three major European cups.

One could say that Tottenham was also a top club historically, but after the Premier League was established, its performance became relatively mediocre.

It wasn't until this season that Tottenham regained its vitality, challenging the Premier League's top four clubs alongside the new rich Manchester City. Recently, it has been competing with Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Liverpool for the fourth place in the Premier League, with a good chance of securing a Champions League spot.

Even though its performance in recent years has been mediocre, Tottenham has gained a large number of loyal fans due to its commitment to attacking football, and the White Hart Lane stadium is always full every weekend.

From any perspective, acquiring Tottenham is a great choice.

Following Roman Abramovich's acquisition of Chelsea in 2003, the Abu Dhabi United Group acquired Manchester City in 2008, turning it into a new rich club in the Premier League with the injection of large sums of petrodollars, changing the landscape of the Premier League.

In fact, the owners of Manchester United, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Fulham, Portsmouth, and West Ham United are also non-British, but their management is relatively conservative.

Chelsea and Manchester City, however, transformed into wealthy clubs immediately after changing ownership, waving their checkbooks.

After discussing Premier League matters for a while, the conversation shifted to super yachts.

Roman Abramovich has already played with four super yachts, and the Adolph von Frank family also owns a super yacht. In comparison, Prince Xuan is a novice, but he remembered some interesting points the two mentioned.

After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, the three of them walked out.

"Click"

"Click"

Prince Xuan led the way, and as soon as he stepped out of the restaurant, the sound of camera shutters rang out from all around.

"Is Mr. Prince Xuan here to order a yacht?"

"Is Mr. Abramovich selling his super yacht?"

...

More than ten German journalists, though blocked by bodyguards, still shouted their questions loudly.

Adolph von Frank's use of over ten Mercedes-Benz cars to pick up Prince Xuan from the airport had caught the attention of some German journalists.

After finding out through the airport that it was the recently popular Prince Xuan, many journalists had been lying in wait around Adolph von Frank's villa.

Unfortunately, Prince Xuan and Adolph did not go out last night, nor did they call any beauties, disappointing the journalists.

Their morning exercise time was also quite early, and the journalists, who were hiding around, missed them.

It wasn't until they returned to the villa that the journalists realized they had lost sight of them.

After Prince Xuan and Adolph von Frank went to the shipyard, and Roman Abramovich appeared at the same time, the journalists guessed what had happened.

It was no secret that Roman Abramovich was building the world's largest yacht in Hamburg. Although the shipyard did not leak any information, it could not escape the prying eyes of the journalists.

The media had reported on Abramovich's yacht project a couple of years ago, even revealing the approximate specifications of the Eclipse.

The financial crisis had reduced Abramovich's net worth by over ten billion dollars, and many media outlets had speculated that he would sell Chelsea or the Eclipse to raise funds, but he had always denied it.

Now, with Prince Xuan, a major financier, and Abramovich appearing at the shipyard together, the answer was clear.

They couldn't enter the shipyard, but they could approach the restaurant.

Prince Xuan was already used to being chased by journalists, and although they were now foreign journalists, he smiled charmingly, waved to them, and got into the car to leave.

Naturally, Abramovich was even less willing to talk about selling the Eclipse.

The two convoys then parted ways.

Prince Xuan and Adolph von Frank did not return to the villa but headed straight for the airport.

Soon, two private jets took off from Hamburg Airport, heading for France.

By the afternoon, Prince Xuan and Adolph von Frank's group had arrived at a castle in the Burgundy region of central France, owned by the Frank family.

The entire castle exuded a strong French and aristocratic atmosphere, with the butlers and servants dressed in ancient attire.

The dinner was simple and traditional.

The appetizer was a foie gras salad, and the main course was beef stewed with vegetables. The Burgundy beef, famous throughout France and even Europe, was stewed with local spices and vegetables, emitting a tempting aroma.

The red wine was a private blend of the Frank family.

This was also the reason why the Frank family owned a castle in Burgundy, as Burgundy red wine is a delicacy that European nobility cannot resist.

However, there are very few noble families like the Franks who still own private Burgundy blends. Most nobles, even if they haven't fallen from grace, do not have the financial means to maintain such a luxurious lifestyle and can only order wine from vineyards.

"Prince Xuan and Abramovich appear in Hamburg, the world's largest yacht may have a new owner."

"Prince arrives in Hamburg for a super yacht."

"Money talks, Prince Xuan knocks out Abramovich with dollars."

"Former tycoon meets Chinese nouveau riche, who is the one with deep pockets?"

That day, various news stories appeared on the internet, spreading quickly around the world.

The world's largest super yacht, costing over a billion dollars, with all kinds of luxurious features, excited the nerves of domestic netizens.

Many netizens flooded Prince Xuan's Weibo with comments, demanding the truth.

Many fan club members also sought confirmation from the club leader, Dog Egg.

After resting for two days and just recovering from his foot injury, she went to Evolution Media's online department to take over Prince Xuan's official website and integrate the husband's fan club and website members.

However, she didn't know Prince Xuan's whereabouts and couldn't answer the fans' questions, so she updated some photos of Prince Xuan taken by German media on the latest news section and reported the domestic situation to Prince Xuan.

Prince Xuan's money all came from the international capital market, and he had already donated 101 billion, so no netizens criticized him for being extravagant.

On the contrary, it seemed as if Prince Xuan was bringing glory to the country, and domestic netizens overwhelmingly supported him for showing off his wealth abroad and outspending other countries' tycoons.

After receiving the message from An Ran, Prince Xuan also updated a Weibo post: "Shopping spree in Europe, the first trophy."

He also included several photos of himself on the Eclipse.

When netizens saw that Prince Xuan had indeed bought the world's largest super yacht, they were elated.

Various media outlets around the world also reported the news.
