"It's my sister, and she's really fast. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "After learning that Adele had reached an agreement with Monaco so soon to acquire shares, George couldn't help but praise the other party with admiration. At the same time, George once again refreshed his understanding of his sister's ability, and realized that in the investment field, Adele is much stronger than his brother.
Compared with the acquisitions and investments of companies such as Facebook and Android, which I presided over before, the scale of funds required to buy Monaco this time is indeed a pitifully small. Hearing George's praise, Adele, who was walking side by side with George, couldn't help but squint her eyes with joy, and quietly narrowed the distance between the two, looking like a cat asking for credit from her master, "Not to mention, John has now handed over all his operational and decision-making authority in Trafalgar to me." So, this kind of thing in Monaco is nothing at all. ”
According to Adele, she enjoys the feeling of haggling at the negotiating table with her opponents. Coupled with the importance shown by George himself in building a network of satellite clubs, Adele will personally preside over the negotiations for the acquisition of the Monaco club this time.
After all, wanting to show her skills in front of her brother, who she has admired since she was a child, is a huge temptation that is difficult for Adele to refuse. Otherwise, with Adele's achievements in Trafalgar in the past six months, this kind of acquisition plan with a capital scale of less than 100 million US dollars can be handled by her professional team, and she does not need to go out in person.
In addition, this time she personally came forward to acquire Monaco, Adele has another task, which is to train Elizabeth Hood's practical skills, so that she can adapt to this level of negotiation, to the extent that she can manage these assets under George's name with Adele!
With too many pockets within the family, George needs more trustworthy "his own people" to help him manage this increasingly large family business, so he can only let Elizabeth grow up as soon as possible. Only then will George be able to continue to focus on his career at Tottenham without worrying about his estate being snuck up by other members of the family.
After these two negotiations, George kissed Elizabeth, who was about to leave for Amsterdam to buy Ajax FC alone, and boarded the plane to Spain with Adele. Although Elizabeth did not have much experience in this area, Adele also sent a whole team of professional negotiators to Elizabeth, so George was not worried that Elizabeth would lose money on the acquisition.
However, although George and Adele are both destined for Spain, their goals are different. Adele is to complete the most important part of this satellite club plan, to buy Atletico Madrid, which has just lost the old Hill, while George is going to Spain to bring in Real Sociedad's main midfielder, Xavi Alonso!
After dropping Adele in Madrid, George flew to San Sebastian, the capital of the province of Gibscoa, where the Real Sociedad Club is located. After all, according to information coming back from the UK, Benitez has already agreed to the Liverpool club's offer to take over as a coach. And the first request of the Spanish coach after taking office is to do everything in his power to win Xavi Alonso!
Although under George's leadership, Tottenham Hotspur managed to squeeze Liverpool out of the top four in the league, leaving the Reds, who had been lucky enough to get a ticket to the Champions League as the fourth place in the Premier League in their previous life, only to participate in next season's UEFA Cup. But George is also not sure that Alonso will lower his standards under Liverpool's strong heritage and transfer to the Reds, who can only play in the League Cup. Therefore, getting the transfer of Xavi Alonso before Liverpool is the only goal of George's trip!
For George's arrival, Real Sociedad is naturally extremely welcome. Although they are reluctant to sell a good seedling like Xavi Alonso, who clearly has the potential to become a top midfielder, after the Champions League has stopped in the round of 16 this season, and the league is even more relegated at the last minute, Alonso's own desire to leave the club this summer is very strong. When Alonso made it clear that he was unwilling to continue to play in the team, Real Sociedad had no choice but to release him and put the main midfielder on the shelf.
However, despite having decided that he would not continue to play for Real Sociedad, Alonso has done a good job of refusing to help any club interested in him in transfer negotiations to lower the price of Real Sociedad. Alonso's move naturally satisfied Real Sociedad and earned him the respect of other clubs - in this materialistic society, a player who is willing to stick to such a bottom line is undoubtedly worthy of admiration.
Although he respects Alonso's very professional behavior, the Spaniard's statement has also caused a lot of trouble for another buyer, England's traditional giants Liverpool - at this time, the Reds are competing with Newcastle for Robbie Keane, and they can't raise enough money to bring in Alonso!
Liverpool have not been without thinking of other ways to solve this problem, such as paying in instalments or using the players in the team to offset part of Alonso's transfer fee, but Real Sociedad has firmly rejected both of the Liverpool people's proposals. After all, they had no choice but to sell Alonso, and they needed the money to strengthen the squad in the summer, so how could they agree to Liverpool's conditions?
As a result, Liverpool had to put transfer talks with Real Sociedad on hold for the time being, and went all out to attack Robbie Keane, intending to deal with Alonso's deal after beating Newcastle.
As a result of the delay in transfer negotiations, when Liverpool finally defeated Newcastle on another battlefield, signed Robbie Keane for a transfer fee of 18 million pounds, and mobilized liquidity to prepare for another offensive against Xavi Alonso, Benitez was shocked to find that Tottenham, which had just sold Robbie Keane, had quietly settled Real Sociedad with a transfer fee of 12 million pounds, and was negotiating with Xavi Alonso about personal treatment!
After learning the news, Benitez, who was shocked, sent someone to make a new transfer offer to Real Sociedad, and flew to Spain overnight to try to make amends, hoping to prevent Alonso from signing Tottenham at the last minute. However, San Sebastian's only domestic Spanish route has been a tough trick for Benitez. When the Spaniard spent a full six hours sweating profusely from Liverpool to San Sebastian, he got the news that Alonso had signed a five-year contract offered by Tottenham!
Six hours later, just six hours late, Benitez rubbed shoulders with Xavi Alonso and missed out on the best candidate in his mind to be the core of the Red Army's organization!
