The interview began in a relaxed atmosphere. Karuhe’s first question was football: “Mr. Branble, congratulations to Portsmouth for a good result.”

"Thank you." In my heart, Jing Jian actually didn't care about this football club for a while.

After the start of the new season, as a newly promoted team, Portsmouth has been hovering in the fourth to sixth place in the league. Although the results are good from the perspective of the newly promoted team, there is no worries about relegation and there is also little hope of obtaining the qualification for European competition. Therefore, Jing Jian doesn't care much about his current results.

In the team's long-term planning, this season is still a year to enrich the lineup. Due to the Hillsborough tragedy in the first half of the year, the UK issued a court order to strengthen and transform all stadiums and eliminate all safety hazards. So in recent days, all English football clubs have been very sad. The funds used on the stadium have been a large-scale loss. Except for a tycoon who is building a new stadium.

So at the end of this season, major clubs will definitely sell their players. Portsmouth will undoubtedly take the opportunity to make a fuss. Then he will become a member of the league championship group and ensure the qualification for European competitions every season.

By 1995, the Boseman Act ruled that Portsmouth would first recruit a group of Mavericks across Europe to become a super luxurious lineup, and then compete for every championship and build the club into a real giant.

Therefore, Jing Jian will not be eager for quick success and instant benefits, and will take everything slowly.

Of course, Karuhe would not know about this long-term plan. As an ordinary interview, he asked with a compliment: "Mr. Bramble, we all know that after you entered the Portsmouth Club, you invested a lot of money to introduce players and built a new modern stadium and first-class training base for the club. Is this due to your love for football?"

"There are two points." Jing Jian smiled and stretched out his two fingers. "I like football, I like the power of English football, which is rough and delicate. This is an important premise. However, I don't want to say anything against my will. When I had the idea of ​​acquiring an English club, any club could actually do it."

"Oh, then what you meant, it wasn't necessarily the Portsmouth Club at that time?" Karuhe suddenly became energetic. He thought to himself, no wonder the news was circulating, this Chinese boy was the king of hot spots.

"That's right." Jing Jian nodded with a smile, "However, the enthusiastic invitation from the former club chairman and the directors at that time deeply moved me. Their love for the Portsmouth Club, the noble gentlemanly attitude. Also, the enthusiasm of the mayor and the club fans, the charm of the city of Portsmouth, and all of this, you should understand that people have feelings."

Karuhe smiled and nodded: "I know this, I understand." As a British journalist, Karuhe certainly likes these good words that praise Britain.

Jing Jian continued: "So I decided not only to give happiness to the city of Portsmau, but also to provide job opportunities and taxes as much as possible. The headquarters of the White Lotus UK branch is already located in Portsmau, and with the training base, we have added more than 120 jobs. I hope that my company, my club will develop together with this city, and fans."

"Yeah." Karuhe smiled and said that he understood this routine self-advertising, but he didn't pay much attention to it. However, he didn't know that this passage was the point. The reason why Jing Jian "pleasantly" was to say this passage naturally in front of the media.

Anyway, Karuhe didn't notice it at all. The interview continued, Jing Jian smiled and said, "About the second point, I am a businessman. I think investing in football clubs will bring good returns. I reiterate that the value of the English League and the English clubs has been seriously underestimated. In today's football world, I am willing to turn into a spoonful of boiling oil to make the football revitalize."

"Are you talking about accusations against the FA?" Karuhe smiled maliciously, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

"Actually, the overall goal is no difference." Jing Jian shook his head with a smile, "The club hopes to return value, the fans hope to win championships, the FA hopes to have a wonderful League Cup, and even players hope to have higher rewards. In fact, from the perspective of a bystander, the team's squeeze on players is too ruthless, and this situation is very bad."

"Uh?" Karuhe was extremely shocked. He thought that Jing Jian would fire at the Football Association again, but he didn't expect that the gun would turn and hit all the club owners, including himself. For such a desperate attempt, Karuhe almost sang a praise. God, this Chinese kid actually has the courage to fight alone in fighting all the heroes? Not only did he offend the Football Association, but now he has started offending all clubs again?

Jing Jian shrugged, not seemingly caring about the troubles in the future: "The existing player contract is actually illegal. Of course, this is my personal opinion. Whether it is really illegal or does it still require a court judgment."

"Ignore the law?" Karuhe was already stunned and even said something difficult.

"Really." Jing Jian smiled, "After the player's contract expires, he thought of another club playing football, and he actually had to pay the transfer fee? Oh my God, is there anything more ridiculous than this? The original club could offer unrealistic transfer fees, resulting in players being able to stay in the original club and receive far lower rewards than they should be? To be honest, do workers in other industries have such exploitative contract terms except players? And your British Ministry of Labor turned a blind eye? The entire society and the judiciary took nothing? I can only say that these players are so pitiful."

What Jing Jian came up with is one of the core clauses of the Boseman Act. From a legal perspective, it is definitely tenable. Of course, he is not a good person, he just wants to mess up the European transfer market and take advantage of the situation. Anyway, by next year, the famous young man in history, Mr. Boseman, will make such a lawsuit to sacrifice himself and happiness for all players. In this case, Jing Jian will gain a good reputation.

However, now hearing these words, it was really shocking. Karuhe stuttered and asked, "Then are you...? Do you want to...?"
