"£40 million, Mr. Viscount Nelson, I heard you right?" Hearing George's offer, Alain Schug, who had a nonchalant expression at first, almost jumped up from his chair. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He never imagined that this young man would make such a high offer for Tottenham shares, which are not worth much money at all: "For this 25% of Tottenham shares in my hands, you are actually willing to pay 40 million pounds to buy?!"

George was not surprised by the surprise that Sugar showed him. With experience in his previous life, he knew very well that the reason why the Jewish businessman in front of him chose to join Tottenham Hotspur was mainly because Venables Hotspur, who was the manager of Tottenham at the time, was involved in it, and only then did he enter the professional football circle as a layman. In fact, Schuger didn't know enough about football at all, and he thought that he could easily make a profit from it, and after becoming Tottenham chairman, he was repeatedly cheated, and eventually had to sell more than half of his Spurs shares to Joe Lewis to recover the financial losses he had suffered from Tottenham over the years.

What's more, when Schuger sold nearly 30% of his Spurs shares to Joe Lewis two years ago, he only got a paltry £22 million back from him, and only part of it was cash. So it's no wonder that the Jewish businessman is so surprised that George Nelson's £40 million price now compares to the price Joe Lewis paid for Tottenham shares at the time, and that Tottenham are now trading in London even worse than they were two years ago.

"That's right, Sir Sugar. Staring at Alain Schug's eyes wide with surprise and greed, the corners of George's mouth hooked slightly, and he said with a chuckle, "I do intend to buy the remaining 25% of your Tottenham shares for £40 million, I wonder if you are happy with the offer I made?"

"Hmm...... Mr. Viscount Nelson, if you are willing to add another £10 million to the current price, I think I will be more than happy to sell you all my shares in Tottenham at once. As a successful Jewish businessman, the instinct for bargaining is in Alain Schulger's blood. So, while George's £40 million offer was very appealing to Sugar, he tried to get more benefits from George to fill his pocket.

"Oh, Sir Sugar, it's not a good thing to be too greedy. George was not annoyed by Sugar's lion mouth. I saw him fall backwards, leaning comfortably on the sofa, while raising his right hand and raising his index finger, constantly shaking in front of him: "You should know very well in your heart that the price I offered is much higher than the actual value of these Tottenham shares you hold." If nothing else, when you sold almost 30% of your Tottenham shares to Joe Lewis two years ago, it was only £22 million. So, £40 million is my first and final offer for your 25% Spurs stake, and I hope you will take advantage of it. You know, there are 20 teams in the Premier League, which means that even if I can't win Tottenham this time, there are 19 other clubs for me to choose from. ”

"Well, I think I'd better accede to your offer, Mr. Viscount. Seeing George so decisively give him an ultimatum, Alain Schug couldn't help but start worrying that the other party would really be angry and cancel the deal because of his exorbitant asking price, "However, I demand that the 40 million pounds must be paid in cash." Otherwise, I will not agree to your request. ”

"No problem, I can fully meet your request. Seeing that Sugar made such a request, although George did not change in his expression, he was secretly in danger, and said that he was fortunate that he had previously mobilized a large amount of liquidity for John to buy Tottenham Hotspur Club. Otherwise, he really couldn't raise a huge sum of 40 million pounds in a hurry to meet the other party's request.

In this way, after the lawyers of both parties appeared one after another, and made sure that the acquisition agreement provided by George was free of pitfalls and loopholes, the two solemnly signed their respective names on the agreement. Now, once the deal has been submitted to the relevant authorities and approved, George can complete the second step of his plan to get the 25% Spurs stake he covets from Alan Schug!

"But, Mr. Viscount, even if you get these shares in my hands, I don't think you will be able to surpass Joe Lewis in shares. After signing the agreement, Alain Schug became curious about George's takeover, "You know, he now owns 29.9% of Tottenham Hotspur." And after you get this part of the shares in my hands, you must announce to the public that you are buying Tottenham shares, in accordance with the law. ”

"Hehe, there is no need for you to worry about this matter, Sir Sugar. For Shuge's temptation, George naturally blocked it without hesitation, "You just need to know that everything we are doing now is within the scope of the law, and there is no transgression." You don't need to know too much about other things, it's good for you and me. Excuse me, do you understand what I mean now?"

George knew very well in his heart that a businessman like Sugar, who came from a poor background and made his fortune on the streets of London, could hardly say how tightly his mouth could be. Maybe he's just got a little bit of a breath on his side, and the big-mouthed guy turns around and sells the news to the media or to Lewis's side. So, out of secrecy, George also wanted to nip in the bud the threat that could lead to the collapse of the acquisition plan.

"Haha, don't look at me like that, Mr. Viscount. I'm just trying to satisfy my curiosity, but nothing else. Seeing George's resolute attitude, Alain Schuger quickly shut up and stopped asking. After so many years of stumbling around the mall, the Jewish businessman has developed an instinct for potential danger, knowing when not to do something and who he must not provoke.

"Yes, Sir Schug. After rejecting the other party's curiosity with a tough attitude, George, who also had a big stone in his heart, looked at Shuge, who was already leaving, and planned to ease the atmosphere in the room, and said, "I wonder how your friendship with Mr. Murdoch is?"

"Why, does Mr. Viscount Nelson want to know Rupert [Murdoch]? Hearing George's question, Alan Schug's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "I think about the reason why I became the president of Tottenham Hotspur back then. On the one hand, it was because of the persuasion of the old liar at Venables that I thought that it would be very easy to profit from the football club, and on the other hand, it was also because Rupert [Murdoch] was interested in winning the TV rights of the Premier League at that time, and he needed an ally from within the Premier League to win his votes...... And I'm the one who helped Rupert win the Premier League broadcast rights!"

Alan Schug has no intention of hiding that he joined Tottenham in part to help Murdoch win the television rights to the then-start-up Premier League. After all, this news can be said to be a semi-open secret in British football, and many people have even come up with evidence to prove that Sugar is the one who helped Murdoch beat ITV (British Independent Television) to win the Premier League broadcasting rights. So, in exchange for the friendship between George and the Nelson family behind him, Alain Schug thought it was well worth it.

"Hehe, if that's the case, that's great. Hearing Sugar's answer, George nodded with satisfaction, he felt that the decision to invite Sugar to London this time was really too wise, "Then, please do me a favor and find an opportunity for me to meet Mr. Murdoch." Believe me, the Nelson family will never forget anyone who helped them. ”

……

"Danny, what did you just say?!" A deafening roar came from the chairman's office at Tottenham Hotspur Club headquarters, and the Tottenham staff outside the door were all far away, for fear that the big boss would harm the pond fish and lose their jobs, "George Nelson, the acting manager who just resigned from Manchester United, has quietly bought the number of shares that could trigger a tender offer?" The London Stock Exchange asked us if we were going to make a request to the UK government to refuse to allow them to continue buying Tottenham shares in the name of a hostile takeover?

It should be noted here that although the purchase agreement signed between George and Alain Schug is written to buy all the shares held by the other party, in fact, due to legal restrictions, George wants to eat all the shares, which will inevitably trigger the 30% warning line in British corporate acquisitions. That's why the London Stock Exchange informed Joe Lewis at this time to ask if he was interested in asking the UK government for help or participating in the takeover.

In other words, if the British government intervenes to prevent it, then George will have to sell more than 29.9% of the shares to avoid triggering the 30% cordon.

"Joe (Lewis), calm down. As Joe Lewis's friend and subordinate, and the current president of Tottenham Hotspur, Danny Levy naturally has to act as a fire extinguisher, "The most important thing we need to think about now is how to deal with George Nelson's takeover of Tottenham Hotspur!"

"No! I can't let Tottenham be easily taken away from me like this!" However, how could Joe Lewis, who was angry, listen to Levy's persuasion at this time, and his anger made him lose some of his previous shrewdness and sanity, "Danny! Send someone to contact the British government immediately, and say that we have been hostile to George Nelson and need the support of the government!" If this doesn't work, then mobilize funds to compare with this boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, who is richer!"

In Joe Lewis's eyes, although Tottenham has not brought him any benefits in the past two years, and has become a burden to his business empire, it is also his industry in the end. Now that George suddenly rushes out to kick him out, it's only natural that Joe Lewis will take up arms and use all his strength to repel this uninvited guest!
