"Mr. Bates, what do you think of my proposal?" Li Feng said with a smile to the bearded man sitting in front of him, flipping through the papers with a dark face.

That's right, it was time for Li Feng to visit Bates, and when Li Feng cleared all the obstacles for Chelsea, he contacted Bates directly, and then said that he wanted to buy Chelsea.

The situation after that was expected by Li Feng, Bates directly and sternly rejected Li Feng's acquisition proposal, and then Li Feng smiled and gave Bates a copy of his own information for him to think about, but he was drinking coffee with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lee, your acquisition of Chelsea may not be recognized by England and the fans. Although the old fox felt a little surrendered, he still defended.

"Mr. Bates, what you may not know is that before I met with you, I was in contact with the president of the FA and the president of the Premier League, and they all expressed their support for my investment in the Premier League, and the group will invest at least $1 billion in projects in the UK.

Finally, this time it is a joint takeover of Chelsea, in addition to himself being the majority shareholder, Prince Charles will be the honorary chairman, the Grosvenor family will be the joint shareholder, and the Duke will become the team's vice-president.

As for the fans, I'm going to hire the best football coach in Europe, give him the money he wants to buy players, expand football stadiums, invest in youth training, and in the face of Chelsea's thriving Chelsea, I think the fans will come back soon.

Another point, Mr. Bates, may not have figured it out, according to your current situation in Chelsea, your so-called Chelsea Village is doomed to be a failed real estate project, and your Chelsea Village is currently close to £30 million in debt, which is still barely supported by team blood transfusions and bank loans.

Although you have transferred all the team property to Chelsea Village, in fact, your operation is considered an illegal operation, because of your status as chairman of Chelsea and a member of the FA executive committee, you have avoided an investigation, but if the FA agrees to investigate, then...

And your operations have been confirmed in both Manchester and Virgin Islands before, and if the fans knew about your exact operations, I think most fans would analyze them rationally, and maybe Mr. Bates would eventually become a rat crossing the street. ”

……

At this time, also in the club's office, there is another major shareholder of Chelsea, but he laughed in his heart, and even secretly thought, Bates, you also have today.

"Madam, would your family be willing to sell your Chelsea shares?" asked Li Feng, ignoring Bates's silence, to a middle-aged woman with a calm face beside him.

"Mr. Lee, if Mr. Bates is willing to sell, there is no problem on my side. ”

This is the wife of former Chelsea vice-chairman Matthew Harding, Li Feng called the Harding family today, just to get Chelsea Club at once.

In fact, the Harding family can be described as loyal Chelsea fans, but it is a pity that Matthew Harding, the vice-chairman, had an accident and hung up last year when he was watching a Chelsea game and taking a helicopter home.

However, Matthew Harding is a loyal Chelsea fan, so he is very dissatisfied with Bates's management of Chelsea, thinking that Bates's management will ruin Chelsea, and even Bates once kicked Harding out of the Chelsea board.

In fact, the real discerning people know that Bates's approach will do more harm than good for Chelsea in the long run.

Unfortunately, for most fans, only what is in front of them is what is happening, for example, since Bates ran Chelsea, ordinary Chelsea fans have seen the hope of Chelsea becoming a strong team, and the team has achieved good results.

The entire Chelsea shares, Bates occupies about 51%, the Harding family occupies about 20%, and the rest are in the hands of the stock market and some small shareholders.

……

"Mr. Li, if I don't accept it, what will you do, even if these are exposed, it seems that British law can't really let me go to prison. Bates said to Li Feng with a dark face.

"Haha... , Mr. Bates, I don't want to be an enemy with you, if I do, I won't talk to you, I will directly ask my media group to expose these news, and then ask Murdoch to help make News Corp's media newspapers exposed.

At that time, Chelsea's stock price must have plummeted, and I would have shorted Chelsea before, and the stock would have become waste paper, and I would have made a lot of money, and finally I would take over Chelsea, which would be in my best interest, and again, maybe Mr. Bates would have nothing at that time.

I have no mercy on the enemy, and I will never give anyone any chance, but whether to be an enemy or a friend is up to Mr. Bates's choice. ”

Listening to Li Feng's words, Bates was speechless again, thinking, let you do this, then do I still have a choice.

"Well, in that case, I don't seem to have a choice, I hope Chelsea can carry forward in the hands of Mr. Lee. Bates calmed down for a moment, then said in a deep voice with a dark face.

"OK, this is my valuation of Chelsea FC and the Chelsea Village project as a whole, and I will be bidding $40 million for the shares held by the two of them, so you can take a look.

You two can take the money and leave in style, I will pay all the debts of Chelsea, if you want, we can sign an agreement on the spot, and I will pay the cash directly. Li Feng smiled and gave the two of them a share transfer document that had been prepared a long time ago.

At this time, the two of them stopped inking, took the documents directly, let the club's legal counsel read them, and signed directly after confirming that everything was normal.

……

Li Feng smiled and wrote a check to the two, and finally promised Mrs. Harding that the Harding stand at Stamford Bridge would be kept forever, which made Mrs. Harding also happy and made friends with the Harding family.

"David, it's up to you for the team next. Li Feng said with a smile to the middle-aged man beside him.

"BOSS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT, I WILL WORK HARD. The man who was called 'David' by Li Feng replied with a smile.

This is David Gill, if Manchester United fans are not familiar with it, yes, this is the future CEO of Manchester United, but now he was poached by Li Feng.

If you want to run a Premier League team, Li Feng thought of what Chelsea did later, wanting to poach Manchester United's CEO Kenyon, but unfortunately, after getting the headhunter to contact him, the other party said that he didn't want to leave Manchester United.

At this time, Manchester United was the 'most profitable club in the football industry', the world's No. 1 club or something, and its reputation was shocking, and Kenyon was reluctant to leave.

Since it is not possible to poach the current CEO, then poach the future CEO, after all, Manchester United's business development capabilities have always been among the top in Europe, and the two CEOs are very good, so Li Feng brought David Gill.

Faced with the CEO position thrown by Li Feng and the position of financial director thrown by Manchester United, David Gill briefly thought about it for a day, and then came to London.

……

"Then we are mainly facing the reaction of the fans, as long as we can calm the fans, we can ensure the normal operation of the team, and you contact Gullit first, and take him to the hotel tomorrow to find me. Li Feng then said to David Gill.

"Understood, I'm going to contact Gurlit, that's nothing, I'll go out first. David Gill left the office with a smile.

Li Feng knows that although he is not 100% controlled, but now that Chelsea Football Club has been in the bag, the next season is the key, as long as the first season can be successful, then he will have a firm foothold, thinking of this, I can't help but ponder.
