A show at Arsenal can be regarded as basically achieving Li Feng's previous psychology. One is to test Arsenal's reaction, but obviously, as can be seen from those expressions, the opposition still accounts for the vast majority and is not easy.

After Li Feng and his entourage visited the training base, they watched a training session for the echelon under the age of 18, and Li Feng and his entourage finally said goodbye and left.

"David, Keith, what do you think this talented young rich man from the United States is doing today?" Watching Li Feng and his party slowly leave, Hill Wude asked the two Arsenal bigwigs beside him a little tiredly.

One is the vice chairman of the team, the other is the president and CEO of the holding company, and he is naturally the boss of Arsenal.

"Peter, obviously, although this young rich man from the United States seems to be a pure fan, I can see that this young rich man has ambitions for the Premier League, and perhaps, he wants to choose one of the London teams to see if there is a possibility of acquisition.

Obviously, we at Arsenal have come into his sights, and perhaps, London is going to change next. ”

"That's right, obviously, the young billionaire's first choice is Arsenal, then Chelsea, and finally the other teams that are possible, after all, we are in London, which is the global financial center, and for a rich man like St John Lee, this city has a natural advantage. David Dunn also replied with a smile.

……

"So what do you think, he's going to go to Chelsea and meet the old fox of Bates. Old Wood muttered to himself again.

'That's for sure, and we have to be careful, if he does get involved with Chelsea, with the financial backing of this young billionaire, Chelsea could really rise.

While running a football team isn't just about financial resources, we all know that modern football is becoming more and more of a money game. If it is really as he said, providing $1 or 200 million in transfer funds, it can be directly built into a championship team.

And we can try to get involved, and it's true, we do need a state-of-the-art, science-based training center and a new top-of-the-line home stadium, Peter, Keith, what do you think?" reminded David Dunn with a smile.

"I'm afraid that this guy Bates can't withstand the offensive of other people's dollars, listening to others, obviously, Bates's situation has been investigated.

We all know the situation of this Mr. Bates, and if this Mr. St. John Lee really spends money, we can be sure that the old fox Bates will not be able to withstand other people's dollars, and perhaps our opponent in London will appear at that time. Keith, the president of the team holding company, replied with a calm face.

"Well, I didn't expect that this teenager from the United States had just made waves in the automobile industry and made Rolls-Royce uncomfortable, and now he is going to toss on the football field again, he is really young and energetic. Old Wood couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, let's just pay close attention to other people's movements, and pay a little attention to the following, after all, we don't want to sell shares ourselves, no one can control and force us. Keith Edelman then comforted Old Wood's old friend.

"Okay, then I'll ask you to pay more attention to our kid from the United States. Old Wood commanded again to his left and right arms, beside him.

“OK…”

"Understood..."

……

"John, it seems unlikely that your first goal will be achieved. In the car, Anschutz drank the red wine of Lafite Manor and smiled at Li Feng.

"This is also my expectation, most of the teams in the UK today are in the hands of those old aristocratic families, and it is naturally difficult to buy shares from these old, rotten old stubborns.

Now it seems unlikely that Arsenal will be able to do so anytime soon, but since they like tradition, I like to break with tradition and make a new superpower team rise in the city of London, which must be an interesting experiment. ”

"Do you really want to invest $100 or $200 million in transfer funds in the first year?" Anschutz replied a little confused.

"Haha... Why not, what kind of team do you think you can build with so much money?"

"Hehe... I don't know how strong the team is, but it can cause shock in European football, although the value of today's players has skyrocketed, but it really costs so much money, and I don't know how strong the team is. ”

"Haha... , Philip, I like shocks, and this time I plan to let this group of old European diehards see how powerful I am from the American imperialist nouveau riche, and also let them see the famous game of fortune football. Li Feng thought of Abu's past at Chelsea in his previous life, and couldn't help but reply with a smile.

I thought to myself, Mr. Abu, if I want to do your experience in this life, you should be the second of St. John Lee. Thinking of this, Li Feng's heart swelled with pride.

"Well, I hope you can make it. ”

"Yes, I'm confident. ”

“Cheers！”

……

After returning to the hotel, Anschutz also opened a room in the hotel, preparing to stay in London with Li Feng for a while, saying that he would see if Li Feng could get his wish, and if he succeeded, he would also be interested in investing in the UK.

Similarly, Li Feng also began to arrange for people to start a comprehensive investigation of Chelsea, and similarly, there were investigation reports on the general situation of the Premier League-related teams, etc. After reading this investigation report, he poured cold water on Li Feng, who was still full of confidence a few days ago, and with an investigation and analysis report in his hand, Li Feng couldn't help but feel depressed, feeling that he was a little too hasty.

Through understanding, Li Feng learned that there are actually two major shareholders of Chelsea today, in addition to the largest shareholder Bates, there is also a major shareholder named Harding or something, but the helicopter crashed and hung up last year. At the same time, the issue of ownership of Chelsea is complex.

In particular, Bates has embarked on a Chelsea Village real estate project ahead of time, with the stadium as the center, a set of stadiums, luxury hotels, bars and other integrated tourism and leisure distribution center, unfortunately, although the Stamford Bridge stadium is also located close to central London.

But London is not the capital of China, there are too few people, and the demographic dividend is actually very important, as a result, even if it is said to be near the London-Stamford Bridge stadium in the 'city center', there are few people around, and the Chelsea Village real estate project is a complete failure and a money-losing product.

Chelsea Village and Chelsea Sports, the two companies are crossed over there, and it's very troublesome. A lot of non-performing assets are on the books of sports companies, and Chelsea Village is a junk real estate project with bank money to invest in.

It can be said that the old fox Bates is a typical white wolf with empty gloves. From this, Li Feng couldn't help but think that it seems that the world is as black as a crow, and the real estate companies develop real estate projects that are actually similar, and most of them are carried out through bank loans.

Thinking that many projects of the real estate company under his name were not carried out through such means, Li Feng could only sigh in his heart.

……

At the same time, I also know that there are now 25 teams in the UK that are listed companies, and the shares of Premier League teams are now sought after, resulting in not many people selling shares.

However, I also know from the investigation that it is also because of the team's listing, so that those nobles who originally controlled the team know that the original team is still so valuable, and now the market value of the team represented by Manchester United is quite high, for example, Manchester United is now worth more than 400 million pounds, which is naturally less pitiful than later generations, but in this era, Manchester United is known as the 'world's largest football team'.

Similarly, there are many team shareholders who are actually cashing out through the stock market, including Manchester United, such as several major shareholders of Manchester United, who have chosen to cash out a part of it every year. According to the analysis of the report, the traditional forces of the Premier League are slowly weakening in this era, and they are slowly opening the prelude to the era of capital.

Li Feng held the report in his hand and couldn't help but agree with what the report said, the 90s to the early 21st century, isn't it the transition of football into the era of capital, and at the same time, he feels that now is really not a good opportunity to buy Premier League teams.

Through contact with Arsenal, it seems that both the timing and the resistance are too great now, and I can't help muttering in my heart, whether to give up for the time being, wait for later.

Anyway, there are opportunities in the future, but I am a little unwilling in my heart, which is really contradictory.
