Chapter 703: To gain a foothold, public opinion comes first

In the four years since he took charge of Chelsea in 2003, Abou has invested more than £400 million in the club, including acquisitions, debt repayments, transfers and covering the annual deficit, an unprecedented investment of more than £100 million a year.

As a result, Chelsea have taken full control of the Premier League's transfer market in just four years, becoming the new "hegemon" of the Premier League. This leaves the rest of the Premier League clubs looking for money.

Chelsea's sudden rise completely broke the convention of a football club's growth from small to large, progressive development, just like Abu's own journey to Russia, which was unconventional, sudden and shocking.

More importantly, Abu's wealth has swelled dramatically at the expense of others. And Chelsea's rapid growth has in fact suppressed and even damaged other clubs.

The future of Manchester City will be taken by the Abu Dhabi consortium from Thaksin, who needs to be sheltered, thus starting the desert tycoons to open the door to invest in the European sports industry, which has to be said that Abu used the golden dollar football to wash away the oligarchic symbol on his body, and established his own popularity and the impact of the success of running Chelsea.

Let the desert tycoons see the well-known and more open sports activities of investment, which helps them get rid of the old image of relying only on oil resources to make money, and it is more convenient to deal with European and American countries.

A little drunk, Andy leaned back in the back seat of the car and thought about all the things he could think of about football, which had been a mess of drinking and dancing in nightclubs.

Although there is no shortage of girls who dance with him, little Andy has also been beaten by all kinds of big, flat, round, and warped girls on the dance floor, but he really won't choose these night girls, of course, people don't see him interested, and naturally they won't be entangled.

No one cares about this, the nightlife that is fun in time, the colorful beauty, comes and disappears quickly.

"Boss, there's a tail in the back, and I can't shake it off all the time... Kenny, who was driving the car, reached out and pressed the headset on his ear, frowning slightly, and pressed a speaker button on the steering wheel to whisper.

On the back seat with the baffle raised, Andy frowned slightly, groaned softly, took out his mobile phone from the side and looked at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock in the night, and he couldn't help but exhale a breath of turbidity.

Looking down at the little assistant who was concentrating on bathing 28 and letting him relax, the speeding street lights made the car alternate between light and dark, and only the hair tied into a ponytail swayed irregularly in the air.

After thinking about it, he reluctantly picked up the phone and dialed it, and the phone rang for a while before it was connected, and Lima's hoarse voice came.

"I'm sorry, dear, I can't get over tonight, I'm stuck by the paparazzi... ”

“。。。 Okay, then you go to sleep, I'll call you tomorrow, good night. ”

Hanging up the phone, Andy looked at his little assistant who had stopped and tilted his head to look at his little assistant with a pair of hopeful eyes, and reached out and pressed the button next to the seat, "Kenny, go back to the Four Seasons Hotel." ”

After finishing the order, he leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, reached out and patted the top of the little assistant's head, "Continue." ”

Tori Blake's rosy face showed a bewitching smile, Tian blushed, and bowed his head...

It's still a gloomy sky, and Andy, who is used to the sunshine, is completely speechless about the bad weather in London, no wonder they all say that living in this miserable city for a few days understands how deep Londoners' obsession with the sun is.

Andy put down the Sun newspaper in his hand, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, picked up the knife and fork and continued to eat his breakfast, the headline of the sports section of the newspaper on the desktop is undoubtedly a photo of Andy and Abu talking and laughing together into the nightclub.

Chelsea's new allies Tottenham!

The Premier League will welcome the youngest billionaire.

It's not a game to buy 18 top players to win the title...

Money, like a virus, is starting to erode the entire English league.

There are ridicule, jealousy, and worry, and this is not the first time that these arguments have appeared in the newspapers. After all, in the UK, it is already common to produce news by any means. In the eyes of the major British media, creating public opinion, sensationalism, sensational effects, and reporting on bloody disasters are the only ways to run a good newspaper.

Andy understands the feelings of these Britons and the British media very well, and many of the teams at the top of the Premier League now, except for Tottenham, who are of pure British blood, have nothing to do with the British.

Andy also understands the old fans of a club, seeing that his original team was bought by people from abroad, although it is still his own team, but the sense of identity will eventually weaken.

Just look at Abu taking over Chelsea, from the media to the fans, aren't they all ridiculing Chelsea's Cherski in a mocking tone.

Of course, time changes everything, well, there must be good results, Andy has not paid attention to any questions from reporters since he set foot on British soil, but this does not prevent the British media from reporting on him.

"Tori, you're a celebrity in Britain now. Andy couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and tease when he saw the little assistant who appeared in the restaurant after packing up.

"Hmm, is it because of the prince's girlfriend? By the way, boss, do you think she will become the princess?" The little assistant is not a stupid white sweet, she naturally knows the reason for the big devil's ridicule, but she doesn't care about this, she doesn't lose herself, she is bent on imitating others, in her opinion, this is just to satisfy some special habits of the big devil, and the effect of role-playing also makes her happy.

"Hehe, who can say for sure, there is a tabloid, and it is directly a blurry photo, saying that I and that Kate are dancing in a nightclub, and have a secret private meeting, haha, it's just unrestrained, it seems that it really brought trouble to the British royal family... ”

Hearing the laughter of the Great Demon King, Tori couldn't help but roll his eyes, the meaning of schadenfreude was too obvious, but I don't know how Prince William and Ms. Kate would feel after seeing the news, thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh, however, the Great Demon King seems to be particularly covetous of the future princess he plays, otherwise he wouldn't change his tricks to toss himself.

"Boss, wouldn't it be a little embarrassing for you to have the opportunity to meet this Ms. Kate in the future?"

“。。。 The corners of Andy's mouth twitched, knowing that his little assistant's words didn't mean anything serious.

At around half past nine in the morning, Andy, David Dunn and his party got in the car and rushed to the City to meet with Joe Lewis, the chairman of Tottenham.

"David, you say, should I buy one or two local London newspapers? Without my own newspaper, I have no right to speak, after all, this is a well-known base of rumors. Andy turned to look at David Dunn, who was sitting next to him, and said in a relaxed and teasing tone.

"Of course, it's a great thing to have your own newspapers in terms of club and influence, but the British media industry is very competitive, especially in the last two years, most of the British newspaper circulation has declined, but the market foundation of newspapers is still there, and there is still a certain number of readers who retain the habit of reading newspapers, so that the newspaper market is shrinking more slowly than other countries. ”

"Huh?" Andy looked at David Dunn with some surprise and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of the media industry." ”

"Hehe, the main reason is that some time ago, all the media were talking about the newspaper market began to decline, and it happened that at this time, Murdoch invested $1 billion to build a printing plant, which caused a big discussion in the newspaper industry, and during that time, the current situation and future of newspapers were reported almost every day, so I have some understanding. David Dunn explained.

"I see. Andy nodded suddenly, "The British can be said to be the most hungry newspaper readers in the world, with a population of more than 55 million, and according to the latest statistics I have found, the sales volume of various newspapers in the UK every day is 20 million, which is among the best in the world." ”

When David Dunn heard Andy's words, as an Englishman, he instinctively gave birth to some self-pride, and said unevasively: "In the UK, almost every household subscribes to a newspaper, and some families have more than one type, so I subscribe to five newspapers.

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to pick up the newspaper outside the door so that I can read it at breakfast, and many people read it on the way to the bus station, when they take the bus to work, and on the way home from work. ”

Andy could naturally hear the complacency and ostentatiousness in David's words, but he didn't care, but felt that this group of British guys was very interesting, and a little kind word could make them laugh at themselves.

"Then, David, you can help me inquire if there are any influential newspapers for sale on Fleet Street, or some newspapers that are seriously losing money and are in a hurry to be eliminated. Andy had played a classic one-dollar buyout of Newsweek in the United States, and he wouldn't mind repeating it in London.

Well, although picking this kind of tatter with serious losses is not a good thing for pie in the sky, maybe it will be cheap and not taken advantage of, but it will cause a debt, but Andy He has had the experience of saving the bloody newspaper twice, even if the current "Newsweek" has not turned a profit, but it has also minimized the loss, and with some changes and transformations, it is only a matter of time before it becomes profitable.

"Okay, boss, I'll ask some friends in the media, but it will take some time. David Dunn heard that the boss gave him this task, and he didn't refuse, and he couldn't refuse, after all, the young boss's subordinates were only him, the British native JINGYING.
