PS1: Anyway, some book friends suggested that I change it twice a day...... To be reasonable, since the opening of this book, I have at least 3,500 words a day, and there are several days when it is 4,000 words in a single chapter. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info is replaced by the number of words of Fei Lengcui, and I have already been in the rhythm of two more. If you're not satisfied, I'll have to say I'm sorry. Because my job makes it impossible for me to go to work to code, I have only a few hours to spare when I get home, and now this number of words is the limit. Anything else, I wouldn't be able to write in my current state unless I can make sure that I earn more from writing novels than I do now......

PS2: Ask for favorites here, click for recommendation...... I want to portray the characters and details well in this book.,I don't want to be like Fei Lengcui's face-painted characters.,So the rhythm dragged on a bit.,I think my water chapter can be discussed in the group.,When we code words, I really don't have this idea [Khan]

"So, we've now bought a 9.9% stake in Tottenham Hotspur from the stock market without any notice?" George Nelson looked carefully at the report on the acquisition that had just been submitted in front of him, "I thought I would have to wait a little longer, but I didn't expect you to move so fast, and it took less than a month to complete the first phase of the task." ”

"That's right, boss. Tottenham Hotspur has been on a downward trajectory due to its mediocre results in recent seasons and the lack of a number of charismatic players. Earlier this year, it fell to an all-time low of 31.7p per share, which is why we were able to collect so many shares from the market so easily without attracting the attention of others. In response to George's appreciation, John Smith, who is now the general manager of Trafalgar, quickly bowed his head and replied in a very respectful tone, "If it weren't for this, it would be difficult for us to acquire this number of shares in less than a month." ”

For John Smith, although everything he has now is obtained by his own efforts, if it were not for the careful cultivation and promotion of the Nelson family since childhood, he would not have had the opportunity to come into contact with high society from a poor background, let alone become the general manager of the world's first-class investment company like Trafalgar. Therefore, John Smith, who knew where he had come from and had a grateful heart, resisted the lure of high salaries from other companies and resolutely stayed at Trafalgar to work for the Nelson family.

Incidentally, selecting children who show a certain talent from an early age to grow up with the family heirs, instilling in them a sense of loyalty and belonging to the family in the process of growing up, and giving them the opportunity to get ahead at the right time, is the way in which most traditional British nobles cultivate family talents. Although the scale of this talent training method has been greatly reduced over time, its success rate and talent loyalty are still quite guaranteed. For example, John Smith's performance is enough to show that this ancient way of cultivating talents is still very desirable.

Another reason why Smith didn't choose to change jobs after getting ahead is that he admires the George Nelson in front of him, who is a self-made man who is also a self-made man. This is not because the two are playmates who grew up together, and Smith will make such an evaluation of them out of personal feelings, but because he has witnessed and participated in the history of each other's fortunes throughout the whole process, and knows how vicious this Fa Xiao's vision in the investment field is, so he will be willing to give George, a guy who usually only grasps the general direction and spends most of his time as a shopkeeper, helping him to deal with specific affairs and details in the company.

"John, how many times have I told you that it's good to just call me George when there are no outsiders, why do you want to call me so raw?" George also had a headache for the caution shown by Smith. He couldn't figure it out, obviously the two of them were quite close when they were young, why did the relationship between the two become a little estranged when they were older?

In fact, it was the most normal and correct thing for John and George to keep such a distance. After all, the gap between the two in terms of identity and status is too obvious. If the two still maintain the intimate relationship as they did when they were teenagers in adulthood, then both George and John will be accused of not knowing the rules, which will have a negative impact on their careers and development.

It is true that as a hereditary nobleman, George could indeed have friends of commoner origin, but his range of friends was quite limited. A talent like John Smith, who had been cultivated by the family, could be seen as a capable subordinate and could be entrusted with important tasks, but could not be close friends with George.

In addition, unlike what many people imagine, although George is a descendant of Horatio Nelson, has the hereditary title of Viscount Coschelt, and has a very harmonious relationship with his father, the current Earl of Essex, but because as a time-traveler, he has a considerable difference in concept from the traditional British aristocracy in how to run the family business, so when in 97, when the seventeen-year-old George revealed to invest in emerging industries such as network technology to revitalize the Nelson family, which relied on the old capital, he was naturally strongly opposed by the conservative forces of the family。

Under such circumstances, George's cheap father in this life, Nelson Sr., who is the patriarch of the family, had to choose a compromise. That is, George is allowed to start his own business, but the family will not provide any financial support to George, and everything can only be done by himself.

Fortunately, he also has a loyal John Smith by his side, and with the help of those memories and luck from his previous life (the trajectory of this world has not changed in any way compared to his previous life), George was able to build a huge family business in just six years, becoming another miracle in the investment world after Warren Buffett.

"Since the first step of the plan is going so well, John, let us now proceed as planned, and you will send someone to invite Sir Alain Schug to London. Let's just say that I, the current Viscount Coschelt, George Nelson has a big business to talk to him about. Seeing that John was once again indifferent to his expression, George had to bring the conversation back to the point, "John, you know, this step is the most critical part of our acquisition plan. As long as we can get Alain Schug in place, we will have much less obstacles in the next acquisitions. Otherwise, the two vampires of the ENE Group will definitely take the opportunity to knock us down, and even make our plan to buy Tottenham completely aborted. ”

"No problem, boss, just wait for my good news. Seeing George's order, John immediately turned around and left the room to contact Alan Schulger, the former owner and former largest shareholder of Tottenham Hotspur.

"Hello, Sir Alain Schug. Three days later, George finally met the former president of Tottenham Hotspur in his office, "Introduce myself, I'm the current Viscount Koscielt, George Nelson. ”

"I've admired my name for a long time, Mr. Viscount. Seeing George behaving so politely as soon as he came up, Alan Schug, who has already won a jazz title, naturally has to show corresponding bearing, "Appointed as interim manager of the team in the middle of the season, and eventually led Manchester United to win the championship, the whole of England is now singing the praises of your heroic deeds." ”

After a brief polite exchange, the guests and hosts sat down one after another. Alain Schug, who was seduced to London by George's words, could no longer contain his impatience after taking his seat, and could not wait to ask: "Mr. Viscount, you told me through Mr. Smith that you had a big business to interview me, I wonder if this is true?"

"That's true, that's right. Looking at the Jewish businessman in front of him, George didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point of this meeting, "Actually, I invited you here this time, mainly because I want to buy all the remaining shares of Tottenham in your hands, Sir Sugar. According to our survey, Sir Sugar still has 25% of Tottenham in your hands. As for me, I'm going to buy the shares for £40 million, I wonder what you think?"

First, it collected loose shares from the market without triggering the 10% warning line to avoid attracting the attention of the ENE Group, and then broke through the watershed of 30% by acquiring Alan Schug, the majority shareholder of Tottenham, to obtain the qualification to launch a tender offer, thus completely squeezing the power of the ENE Group out of Tottenham. This is the most important part of George's plan to buy Tottenham Hotspur FC!

Although it is true that Tottenham Hotspur's largest shareholder is now Joe Lewis, the owner of the ENE Group, and that his subordinate and friend Danny Levy is in charge of the club, in reality, the reign of the ENIC Group at Tottenham is not stable, because as the largest shareholder, they currently only hold 29.9% of Tottenham, which is far from the extent to make Tottenham their word!

In other words, the ENIC Group has not yet made up its mind to buy Tottenham and take the club into its own hands, but is still skeptical. Otherwise, Joe Lewis would not have been hovering at the 30% threshold where a tender offer could be launched, and no further action would have been made for two years.

What shook Joe Lewis most was that after he became Tottenham's largest shareholder, the historic London club not only failed to improve in terms of results, but also fell in share price, showing no signs of bottoming out. This situation naturally makes Joe Lewis, who aims to rely on Tottenham to make a profit, feel extremely entangled, and also makes him suspicious of further acquisition of Tottenham shares.

After all, as a businessman, maximizing profits is Joe Lewis's ultimate goal. And Tottenham, which cannot bring enough profits, naturally belongs to the so-called "non-performing assets" in the eyes of Joe Lewis, and it is the category that needs to be dealt with urgently. However, because Tottenham has really no hope of re-emerging over the years, team captain Saul Campbell gave Tottenham a fatal blow to his rival Arsenal on a free transfer two years ago, so even if Joe Lewis wants to sell his Spurs shares, not many people are willing to take over.

It is precisely because of this that George will choose to make a move at this time. Because he knows that once Joe Lewis realizes the positive role that a Premier League club like Tottenham can play in his career, it will be much more expensive and difficult to launch a tender offer than it is now!

Therefore, in George's plan, as long as he can get Alan Schulg first, let his Spurs stake exceed 30% in one fell swoop, and then launch a tender offer to Joe Lewis and other shareholders to make them feel that it is profitable, then it is very likely that Tottenham will become a club that is fully controlled by him!
