Anyone who can achieve success should not be underestimated, even if Mansour's success is inseparable from his background identity.

In fact, from the difference in status between Mansur and Saleh, it can also be seen that Mansur's ability must be higher than Saleh, otherwise it will not be Mansur who is in charge of the consortium for the sheikhs of Abu Dhabi.

Ronan had many dealings with Mansour, and the deepest influence left on him by this man was not the Arab trenches, but a temperament that was not arrogant or discouraged.

This man is very resilient.

Come to think of it, the attitude of Western society towards the Arab world should not be too obvious, and Mansour, as Abu Dhabi's spokesperson in the Western world, would have been easily defeated, and there would not have been so many successful investments by Abu Dhabi consortiums.

In recent years, even in the United States, the Abu Dhabi consortium has made a difference, winning two teams from the four major professional sports leagues.

Perhaps, this is nothing for a billionaire consortium, but adding an Arab to the prefix is commendable.

Although Ronan gave up cooperation with the Abu Dhabi consortium due to the general social situation and the ambitions of the other party, he did not want to become an enemy with the Abu Dhabi consortium if possible.

"Mr. Minister. Ronan maintained the polite smile that his master had to have: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Mansour, who has spent many years in the Western world, seems to have learned to be more direct: "Mr. Anderson, I still have a strong interest in Manchester United. To be exact, I've been more interested in Manchester United since last night. ”

Ronan roughly guessed what he was going to say.

Sure enough, Mansour said: "For you and me, Manchester United is a business, an investment. Now, you've won the game. Mr Anderson, the Abu Dhabi consortium is willing to buy Manchester United from you for £1 billion. ”

The price is quite attractive, and Ronan's use of financing to buy Manchester United only cost a little more than $600 million, which is a return on investment of nearly 40%.

Seeing that Ronan didn't talk, Mansour continued to increase his weight: "All the debts of Manchester United will be taken care of by the Abu Dhabi consortium after the completion of the acquisition. ”

Ronan looked at Mansour, and sure enough, it was a rich Arab, and the trench was simply inhumane.

In Mansour's words, all the debts transferred to Manchester United after Ronan's acquisition of Manchester United were repaid by the Abu Dhabi consortium, except for a small part of personal investment, if this deal can really be reached, Ronan's various activities on Manchester United will become a model of empty gloves white wolf!

In a year, the profits of seven or eight billion US dollars, arms sales and the like, were not so profitable.

Mansour knows very well that when money piles up to a certain extent, it is not just a numbers game, but also a manipulative mind.

Manchester United, especially the well-structured, energetic and energetic Manchester United team, he really wants it and is willing to pay a certain price for it.

Ronan stabilized his mind and said with a smile: "Mr. Minister, I can feel your sincerity, please allow me to think about it." ”

In the final analysis, Ronan is not beyond the scope of a normal person, plus he is a businessman, and the nature of a businessman dictates that with such a high investment profit, it is impossible not to be tempted at all.

Mansour shook Ronan's hand: "Hopefully, Mr. Anderson will think about it, my words will be valid until the start of next season." ”

Ronan shrugged slightly: "I also need to consult with other shareholders." ”

After a few pleasantries, Mansour took his leave and left, and Saleh glanced at Ronan, but finally followed Mansour without saying anything more.

'There are a lot of teams in the Premier League. Saleh whispered: "We don't have to be Manchester United. ”

Mansour looked at his brother, who had a very good relationship, and said patiently: "Why do we want to buy a football team, Saleh, have you thought about it?"

Saleh said: "It's not about making money, is it?"

Mansour shook his head slightly: "Football is the number one sport in the world, the Premier League is the most commercially operated and disseminated league, we need a window, a window that can let the world know and understand Abu Dhabi, so I have been planning to buy the Premier League team." ”

With a little patience, he told Saleh: "It was decided that we had to buy a super team with a big enough impact, which would cost more money but have the fastest results." If we buy a small and medium-sized team, we make it a well-known team, how much time does it take, how many players do we need to buy, we need to invite well-known coaches......"

Saleh nodded slowly, understanding his brother's thoughts.

Mansour sees the problem far more clearly than the average person: "In that case, we won't spend less money than buying Manchester United from Ronan Anderson, maybe even more. Plus, there's the time cost, which money can't measure!"

"I see. Saleh said.

Mansour patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Looking at the entire Premier League, in fact, only Manchester United and Arsenal can meet our requirements, but Manchester United is better. I'm also under pressure to spend a lot of money and see results as soon as possible, otherwise how can I explain to Abu Dhabi?"

After all, he is only the chief operating officer of the Abu Dhabi consortium, not the real owner.

Saleh said: "It's difficult to buy Manchester United, Ronan Anderson is too complicated. ”

Mansour shook his head slightly: "It's true that he has a complicated mind, but on the other hand, Ronan Anderson's mind is also very simple, he is a businessman after all, football is just commercial speculation, as long as the profit is high enough......"

He burst out laughing: "As long as you can take Manchester United, it's worth spending more than £1 billion." ”

The Abu Dhabi consortium lacks everything but money.

Problems that can be solved with money have never been a problem in Mansour's eyes.

During the reception, Ronan was juggling to socialize while considering the pros and cons of Mansour's proposal.

From an investment point of view, this is a really good deal.

Truth be told, Ronan also needs funding at this stage to realize more plans.

But selling Manchester United is also a little unwilling.

Faced with this choice, ordinary people may choose to sell it directly, but Ronan's net worth also gives him the confidence to refuse, after all, he may become a man with a net worth of tens of billions this year.

After the reception, Ronan found Will Smith and Tom Cruise and had a brief conversation with them.

The two of them were also a little excited when they heard this.

After all, with such a high investment profit, how can you not be tempted.

But they are not ordinary people after all, and they also belong to the top class with a net worth of more than 100 million in Hollywood.

After listening to Ronan's brief introduction to the relevant situation, Will Smith gradually calmed down and said, "I listen to you in terms of investment. Ronan, if you want to sell, I support you, I want to continue to be the owner of Manchester United, and I want to, football is actually quite interesting. ”

Tom Cruise said: "From an investment point of view, it's a good deal to sell, but we're not short of money at the moment and with the momentum of Manchester United, it's probably worth more money in the future. ”

Ronan nodded slightly and said, "In this way, we are not in a hurry to reply to Mansour, we will think about it for a while and wait for July." ”

He emphatically advised: "The news is limited to the three of us, and it should not affect the normal long-distance movement of the club." ”

"Understood. Will Smith said, "Don't worry. ”

Tom Cruise worried: "What about Mansour's side, in case he takes the initiative to open up to the media......"

Ronan said directly: "Then we will openly reject him, presumably he will not make such an unwise choice." ”

Neither Ronan, nor Will Smith and Tom Cruise, will need time to calm the impulses caused by the huge monetary interests and consider the issue with a more peaceful mind.

Transactions involving billions of pounds cannot be ignored by Ronan, and it does not hurt to think about it for a while.

The news did not circulate and naturally did not affect the normal operation of Manchester United, who ended a season from 2004 to 2005 with excellent performances in the Premier League and Champions League.

Ronan then signed new sponsorship contracts on behalf of United with a number of sponsors, which alone generate more than £100 million a year for the Reds.

Ronan does not need to invest any money in Manchester United, Manchester United's own hematopoietic ability can not only meet the need for reinforcements, but also pay off debts.

In the first week of the Champions League, Manchester United reached an agreement with Real Madrid, with Ruud van Nistelrooy moving to Real Madrid for 35 million euros.

The money will be used by Manchester United to run the business of digging into the corners of Barcelona.

The professional football circle is becoming more and more commercialized, and as long as the hoe of money is wielded well, it is difficult to have a wall that will not be dug down.

Think back to a few years ago, as the captain and flag of Barcelona, Luis Figo, how did he get to the sworn enemy Real Madrid?

In the future, clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool that do not have any direct player transfers will become increasingly rare.

At the end of a season at Manchester United, Ronan, Will Smith and Tom Cruise also left London to return to Los Angeles after two meetings with the club's hierarchy.

The summer season of the North American film market is in full swing, and big-budget movies have been released one after another.

Among them, there are many hugely successful works such as "Spy 3" and "Revenge of the Sith", as well as works such as "Heavenly Dynasty" and "Escape from Clone Island" that failed commercially.

The directors of these two failed works have been supported by relatively strong capital in the past, and they are not very sad.

A producer at Twentieth Century Fox became the backstabber of "Kingdom of Heaven", but Ridley Scott was not too affected and continued to prepare a new work.

DreamWorks has suspended its collaboration with Michael Bay, but Sandsea Entertainment has reached out to Michael Bay.
