When the news footage of Li Mu's meeting with members of the royal family was broadcast on television media throughout the United Kingdom, Li Mu had arrived in Manchester after more than two hours of driving.

Manchester is the second largest city in the UK, but it is not very populous, and the size, development and pace of life are much slower than London.

Because Manchester City's training base is in the southwest of Manchester, Li Mu did not enter the city center of Manchester, according to Davidson, Manchester City's training base is next to Manchester United's training base, about two kilometers away.

Today's Manchester City club has just entered the Premier League, and it has been up and down in the middle and lower reaches in the past few years, and life is not very comfortable, and now is not the stage when Middle Eastern tycoons are crazy to spend money in the future, so Manchester City Club's training base does not look magnificent from the outside.

The training base looks at it, basically all of them are football fields one by one, there are not many buildings, and most of them are low, many players on the training ground are training separately, it seems that the first team, the second team, the youth team and even the youth academy are training separately, most of them are teenagers, and most of them are around 10-12 years old.

Each of the five major leagues has a strong focus on youth development, and for any football club, almost half of the more than 20 players in the main team come from their own club's academy.

Although it is not easy to produce superstars in its own youth academy, it is easy to cultivate a very stable and loyal club support force, much like the leadership team of a city, most of the senior leaders are from other places, but the middle and grassroots are basically all born locally.

Davidson had already informed the Manchester City club in advance, and the Manchester City club also thought that Davidson, the new owner, was going to visit the club for the first time, so they all attached great importance to it, for a club like Manchester City, most of the staff, coaching staff and even the home team players are facing a lot of problems, the most important of which is the lack of strength and reputation.

When the Goldberg family bought the club, almost everyone in the club was in danger, because the Goldberg family was very famous in the UK, and everyone thought that since Goldberg bought the Manchester City club, it would definitely invest a lot of money to improve the strength of the Manchester City club, and they were worried that their strength and fame would not match Goldberg's financial resources.

It's like a small start-up being bought by a giant company, and most of the employees of the small business will worry that they will be laid off after the acquisition because they can't meet the high requirements of the giant company.

Therefore, the club has been very nervous since yesterday, and everyone wants to be able to successfully withstand the inspection of the new owner, otherwise it is likely that the new owner will be dissatisfied and he will leave the club.

It's not that the staff and players of the club love this club at this stage, the main thing is that no one wants to be the one who is abandoned, and if they want to leave, they have to find a better one before they take the initiative to leave.

The team stopped in front of Manchester City's main office building, where the club's CEO Alister, head coach Kevin Keegan, and many other team management lined up at the gate.

These people are not shareholders of the club, but only professional managers signed by the club, and the Goldberg family wholly bought Manchester City, not only buying all the shares of Manchester City, but also buying all the staff and player contracts of Manchester City, these professional managers who are still under contract are still maintaining the operation of the club, while waiting for the strategic deployment of the new owner.

After the car stopped, the driver and the co-pilot got out of the car at the same time, Davidson's assistant opened the door on Davidson's side, and the driver opened the door on Li Mu's side.

Davidson got out of the car first, and after the club's management saw him, they hurriedly greeted him, ready to welcome the new owner of the club, but at this time, a young Oriental youth walked out of the other side of the door, and the sharp-eyed CEO Alister was stunned, because he instantly recognized this Oriental youth, he is Li Mu who is crazy about reporting on TV media today!

Other people also recognized Li Mu one after another, which made everyone extremely shocked, they don't know, why Li Mu appeared here, the TV report said, didn't he just go to Buckingham Palace to meet with the queen and the entire royal family? And the queen also awarded him the Grand Cross, the highest knighthood of the Order of the Empire, why did he appear in the Manchester City club in this meeting?

No one can guess what is hidden here, CEO Alister was the first to come to his senses, he first walked up to Davidson, shook his hand, and said seriously: "Mr. Goldber, welcome to Manchester City Club, I am the CEO of the club, Alister, I have met your son a few times before." ”

Davidson nodded lightly and smiled, "He has a lot of praise for you." ”

After that, Davidson pointed at Li Mu and said to everyone: "Everyone, I know that you are all waiting for the new owner of the club, but I want to tell you a big news next, before coming here, the Goldberg family has transferred all the shares of Manchester City Club to Mr. Li Mu, that is to say, the new owner of Manchester City Club should be Mr. Li Mu, not me, I just accompanied Mr. Li Mu today." ”

This time, the audience was in an uproar.

No one expected that the owner of Manchester City would change hands again in such a short period of time, before the Goldberg family, and now, Li Mu.

Everyone was extremely shocked by this news in their hearts, because the presence of Huaxia people and Huaxia Capital in the Premier League is too low.

At this time, Li Mu smiled indifferently: "I am usually more scattered, and I may not have much time to pay attention to the club's situation in the future, so the development of the club in the future depends on your attention." ”

When Li Mu spoke, everyone really accepted this fact.

However, they did not accept the difficulty or psychological resistance in the slightest, on the contrary, each of them was extremely excited about this fact in their hearts.

There's no reason why they shouldn't be excited.

First of all, Li Mu has almost confirmed the position of the richest man in the world, the only thing to wait for is the digital concretization after listing, the higher Li Mu's personal wealth, the clearer the future economic situation of the club,

Secondly, Makino Technology has basically secured the first position in the market value of the world's Internet companies, and the market value may be more than double that of the second place after listing;

Again, Li Mu's fame is too great, Makino Technology's fame is too great, and Makino Technology's publicity ability is too strong, after Manchester City Club becomes Li Mu's personal club, the club's overall fame will skyrocket, and Li Mu only needs to give a little bit of Makino Technology's strong publicity ability to Manchester City Club, which is enough to ensure that the club becomes one of the most well-known clubs in the world!

Moreover, a busy person like Li Mu even came to inspect the club in person, which shows that Li Mu himself is very concerned about the club, which is a huge benefit to the club;

The most important thing is what Li Mu just told you.

Li Mu said that his energy is limited, and the future development of the club depends on everyone's efforts, and he will show favor to the current management team as soon as he comes up, which proves that Li Mu should have no plans to lay off staff or change blood, at least not yet!

With so many huge benefits, how can the top brass of these clubs not get excited?

Immediately, CEO Alister immediately stepped forward, shook hands with Li Mu excitedly and excitedly, and said: "I really didn't expect that Mr. Li would become the boss of Manchester City, this is really exciting!"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said with a smile: "In the future, many things in the club will require you to worry more about Mr. Alister." ”

Alister nodded hurriedly and said very seriously: "I will definitely do my best!"

Afterwards, Alister said, "Mr. Li, let me introduce you to the main management members of the club. ”

Under Alister's introduction, Li Mu met and shook hands with head coach Kevin Keegan and other management of the team one by one. Everyone said that they were very excited, and I think everyone should be excited, because in the coming season, I will invest a lot of money and a lot of promotional resources into Manchester City FC, and if you all work together, I believe we can make Manchester City FC one of the best clubs in the UK, or even the best club in the UK, no one!"

As soon as he came up, he promised everyone a large amount of money and a lot of publicity resources, and Li Mutong gave these people two tubes of adrenaline as soon as they met, which made everyone's face flush with excitement, everyone applauded again and again, and everyone's excitement was beyond words.

At this time, Davidson spoke, "Everyone, let's move to the conference room and talk slowly." ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”

……

Everyone came to the Manchester City Club's high-level conference room, and Li Mu naturally sat at the main seat of the conference table, Davidson sat on his right, and the club's CEO Alister sat on his left.

As soon as he sat down, Li Mu said straight to the point: "Everyone, the new season has begun, fortunately, there is still a little bit of time in the summer transfer window, so I would like to convey a few decisions to you next:

First, I will invest £100 million in the club over the next year, with the first £50 million coming in the shortest possible time, and this money will be used to bring in some fresh blood to the club before the summer transfer window closes;"

Everyone was immediately excited, 50 million pounds was earmarked for the introduction of players, which is really a very large amount of money at the moment, at least two superstars can be introduced to the team, or four quasi-superstars.

Immediately, Li Mu said: "Second, before I came, I communicated with my private scouting team and formulated a list of players to be introduced, every player on this list needs to be contacted by our team in the shortest possible time, and find a way to bring in before the transfer window closes, if the other party has a contract, it doesn't matter, we can pay liquidated damages." ”

Speaking of this, Li Mu looked at head coach Kevin Keegan and said: "Mr. Keegan, please forgive me for overstepping, the future team's tactics will be completely up to you, but in the issue of player introduction, you must follow my arrangement at a large level, I hope you can understand;"

Kevin Keegan nodded immediately, other bosses may feel uncomfortable when they say such things to themselves, but Li Mu says such things to himself, he really doesn't have a temper at all, because with Li Mu's strength, he can replace himself at any time, and a large group of excellent coaches will squeeze their heads to cooperate with him, after all, here in him, there are too many resources to get, and there is too much room for imagination!
