For Li Mu, Davidson gave him a gift, and he had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, he will not have too much sense of responsibility to accept this gift, at most he promised Dai Vinson to let HSBC Holdings be the lead underwriter of the future IPO of Makino Technology, but if Davidson can't meet his requirements by then, he still won't sell him half of his face.

As for Manchester City FC, it is actually just a stepping stone for Davidson, and he laughs at this stepping stone, if he doesn't perform well after entering the door, he will still kick him out.

Davidson naturally knows this.

Although HSBC Holdings is very strong, but in the U.S. stock market is still slightly inferior, under normal circumstances, the qualification of the lead underwriter of Makino Technology IPO is almost meaningful, now Li Mu looks at the face of Manchester City Club, can give himself this opportunity, but if he does not perform well, Manchester City Club will be in vain.

Davidson immediately took out the club's equity transfer contract, the transferor of the shares was a financial company of the Goldberg family in Manchester, and the transferee of the shares was Li Mu himself.

The terms of the contract are very simple, the transferor is willing to transfer 100% of the equity of Manchester City to the transferee unconditionally, and the contract only needs to be signed by both parties to take effect.

After Li Mu read the contract in one minute, he used the pen handed over by Davidson to sign his name at the signing office.

Davidson also signed his name, then exchanged the contract with Li Mu, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, congratulations on becoming the sole owner of Manchester City Club." ”

Li Mu finished the contract and smiled slightly: "I am confused about how to manage a football club now, and I don't know how to start now." ”

Davidson laughed and said: "If you don't have money, it does take a lot of effort to run a football club well, but if you have money, you can save a lot of worry, you can learn from Abu, first give the team enough salary and bonus benefits, and then take out a sum of money to invest in the club, let the club buy players everywhere to replenish fresh blood, and then just wait to watch every next game of the game, generally speaking, as long as the money is in place, the club's ranking in the league will go up." ”

Li Mu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

He very much agrees with Davidson's suggestion, whether as a club owner or as a business owner, there are only two kinds of help that can be provided to his subordinates, either technical help or financial help, and the technology about football is basically zero, so it is enough to provide good financial help.

At this stage, I don't have the energy to manage the football club, or even find a suitable professional manager and manager for the football club, but there is one thing I can do, and that is to inject a huge amount of money into Manchester City FC to buy good players.

Makino Technology continues to make profits, Taobao and Taobao logistics have long begun to make profits, the miracle of independent agents is still a cash cow in the Chinese game market, and if you have money, you are qualified for human nature, Li Mu can take out hundreds of millions of pounds from his personal assets at any time and smash it into the Premier League to listen to a sound.

Moreover, for Li Mu, he is not without any advantages in the field of football, he has a very unique advantage, which is more than anyone in world football today.

This unique advantage is that he knows very well who will be tomorrow's star in world football.

More recently, such as Rooney, Iniesta, Modric, Fabregas, Ribery, Robben, these world-class players who have become famous later, are still in the golden age of 20 years old at this stage, and the level is sufficient, but they have not had the opportunity to show themselves, which means that their current value is almost very low;

And in the future, there are Lewandowski, Neymar, Bale, Ozil, the next generation of superstars born in the late 80s and early 90s, as long as the timing is right, it is possible to spend only a few million pounds to get these people into their own academy, first from the academy, then play in the second team, and at the age of seventeen or eighteen you can play for the first team.

At the same time, Messi has now become a seeded player in La Liga Barcelona, and it is probably no fun to buy him now, but Ronaldo should not have joined Manchester United at this stage, and it may even be that he has just started to negotiate a transfer with Manchester United, so it is not impossible to dig it himself.

If these players were bought at the best time, the transfer fee alone would have doubled.

As for the Chinese player Dong Fangzhuo, Li Mu must snatch him from Manchester United and let him start his Premier League journey at Manchester City, so as not to let this player repeat the mistakes of the past.

According to this rhythm, in the future, the first team and the second team of Manchester City Club will each set aside at least one position for Chinese players, and the youth academy will provide at least six positions.

The so-called first-line players in later generations, the reason why they can get a high salary in the club is completely due to the protection of domestic players by the domestic football association, and the number of foreign aid per team in the Chinese Super League has been limited to 4 + 1 for a long time, that is, four non-Asian foreign aids, and one Asian foreign aid, which can only be played at most 3 + 1, that is, when the game is played, there can only be four foreign aides at most in the football team of 11 people, and then later, this number was changed to three.

The tightening of the number of foreign aid in the team has led to the fact that each team must compete for those local Chinese players who are not strong enough, but the salary is very high, these players are also because of the protection of the policy, and they are comfortable in the club, for them, it doesn't matter if they can't catch up with the foreign aid in the team, as long as they don't be chased too hard by the local players of other teams, it is no problem at all, because when the team plays, there must be 8 local players on the field.

Although the Bundesliga, Serie A and even La Liga also have restrictions on foreign aid, the key is that local players compete for morale, and there is no over-reliance on foreign aid at all, unlike many domestic teams, the scoring point of the entire team is always on foreign aid.

Looking at the list of scorers in the Chinese Super League every season, at least sixteen or seven of the top 20 are foreign players.

As a result, local players who have been pampered and nurtured in the club have long been accustomed to relying on foreign players to score goals and achieve victories.

The local players cultivated in such an environment, once they are called up by the national team, are equivalent to a group of musicians who specialize in accompaniment get together and prepare to participate in a band competition, but these musicians are usually instrumental accompaniment, and no one can sing well.

So, when these 20 or so people got together, they found that they came to participate in the band competition, but there was no one in the team who could sing.

How can such a team make great progress in the world? Thank God for not regressing.

However, if you can bring out the really talented players in the country, let them stay away from the decadent environment of the mess, and hone in a high-level league like the Premier League, it will not be much, even if you can hone three players, when they are called up by the national team, it can greatly improve the strength of the team.

Thinking of this, Li Mu opened his mouth and asked Davidson: "By the way, there should be no foreign aid restrictions for Premier League clubs, right?"

"Nope. Davidson shook his head and said, "As long as you can get a labor certification, it doesn't matter if the whole team is a foreign aid." ”

As soon as Li Mu heard the word "labor certification ......", he immediately thought that there were indeed some domestic players who had the opportunity to be signed by Premier League teams, but they were all aborted because the labor certification problem could not be solved.

So, Li Mu asked Davidson: "If I want to bring more Chinese players to the Premier League in the future, who should I go to solve the labor certification problem?"

The British labor certification is very troublesome, especially the Premier League labor certification, which has very high requirements for the recruitment, not only requiring the opponent to play more than 75% of the national team, but also requiring the national team to be ranked in the top 70 in the world by FIFA, so that many Asian players are not eligible for the Premier League.

And I have the impression that this policy is gradually tightened and more and more stringent.

Davidson blurted out almost without thinking: "There is also a channel for the introduction of the Premier League's labor certification that does not need to consider hard indicators, and I can help you solve this, although rest assured." ”

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then the labor certification of Chinese players will trouble you." ”

Davidson nodded and said: "If you have Chinese players who are ready to be introduced to Manchester City in the future, just tell me directly, and I will communicate with the government, but this number cannot be too much, otherwise, the media will keep staring at it, and it is difficult to explain." ”

Li Mudao: "My goal is not high, Manchester City's first team and second team, each have a Chinese player in the early stage, and then find a way according to the actual situation in the middle and later stages." ”

Davidson smiled: "If your goal is just to bring Chinese players to the Premier League for training, then you can loan the players to other European leagues first, and then apply for labor certification through arbitration, I can also help you solve this, believe me, I still have some strength in Europe, and the loan of players to other European leagues is also a kind of training for players, after all, the European League is more professional than the Chinese League." ”

Li Mu smiled: "Of course I believe this. ”

Davidson added: "By the way, do you know that Manchester City now has a Chinese player?"

"Really?" Li Mu was a little stunned, and couldn't remember it all at once. He doesn't have much of an impression of the top five leagues before 2008, so he can't remember any Chinese players playing for Manchester City in the Premier League at this time.

Davidson picked up a thick folder from his hand, flipped through it for a while, handed it to Li Mu's hand, and said, "Look, it's him, Sunjihai." ”

Li Mu looked down, and three familiar words jumped on the paper.
