Sending off the Moss sisters, in the restaurant on the first floor of the villa, Shen Lang and the three of them enjoyed the chef's craftsmanship.

"How's it going? George and I heard sleepless voices last night. Daniel asked, wincing an eyebrow.

Shen Lang shook his head while cutting the steak and said, "Kate is too old, Lottie is fine." ”

"Shen, what we want is mood, okay?" Daniel rolled his eyes: "I wasted a lot of effort last night to convince Sister Moss. ”

George looked at Shen Lang with envy on his face, and complained to Daniel: "Daniel, why don't you think of me if you have a good thing?"

"Your little match will not satisfy Sister Moss. ”

Daniel said disdainfully and continued to eat his steak.

George didn't continue to mess around with Daniel, and reported this morning's itinerary to Shen Lang.

"I had an appointment with John Henry of Fenway Group in the morning, and we'll talk in detail about the sale of the team. ”

After the meal, Daniel, as an idle second generation, also followed Shen Lang and George to Liverpool.

Shen Lang and his entourage traveled very low-key, and before the Fenway Group made it clear that it would not sell Liverpool, of course, no one would have thought that there would be a buyer of Shen Lang's group to see the club in a blink of an eye.

Under George's recommendation, after Shen Lang and John Henry shook hands, the two sides were divided into two sides.

John Henry, who was almost seventy years old, had the appearance of a shrewd businessman.

Even the acquisition of Liverpool was just a joint move by several senior members of the Liverpool club.

This is also based on the successful operation of the Boston Red Sox before John Henry, but unlike other sports, football is a game that depends on capital.

John Henry is more likely to bring benefits to himself by investing in Liverpool, and naturally it is impossible to spend a lot of money to buy players.

Both parties have already had their first communication and it was not a difficult decision for John Henry to sell Liverpool.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, and as long as Shen Lang can give him a satisfactory offer, he is willing to sell Liverpool.

"It was a coincidence that not long ago, a Chinese consortium contacted me through another intermediary to buy Liverpool in my hands, but unfortunately, their offer of only 700 million pounds was too low. ”

John Henry, who wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and is worth less than £600 million in total, is most proud of his two investments, one with the Boston Red Sox.

The other time is to invest in Liverpool, which won Liverpool for 300 million pounds in 2010, and now it is at least 700 million pounds or more to impress John Henry.

George was in charge of the negotiations, of course, he would not follow John Henry's words, and said with a faint smile: "John, we might as well get straight to the point, we plan to buy Liverpool in your hands for 750 million pounds." ”

John Henry's eyebrows twitched slightly, but the old John Henry had a big appetite: "George, 750 million pounds may not be enough, you know, the Premier League has just signed a new broadcast contract."

It means that Liverpool's revenue will increase next year, and as a club with a high reputation in the world, do you think the £750 million offer is sincere?"

"Hehe, John, if you make £450 million by now, you've doubled on Liverpool, and don't you think the revolt of Liverpool fans is getting louder and louder right now?"

George gave a detailed analysis of Liverpool: "As far as I can tell, Liverpool fans are unhappy with the rising number of tickets, and I think it could lead to bigger problems if it continues, and are you sure you're willing to invest hundreds of millions of pounds in Liverpool?"

John Henry was silent, George was telling the truth, although the Premier League is getting higher and higher TV revenues, the price of the corresponding tickets is getting higher and higher, which naturally makes many fans start to unafford.

And John Henry, as a businessman, is the most ruthless among the owners of these clubs in the Premier League.

What John Henry hopes most is that Liverpool can break even, have a smaller amount of money in the transfer market, and not let the transfer money paid go down the drain.

"Ahem, George, you have to believe in the loyalty of the Liverpool fans, and I think that's the key to Liverpool's revenue ranking in the top three. ”

John Henry took it for granted, as the blackest capitalist, he would not waste his money to buy players.

Negotiations between the two sides have reached an impasse, with George hoping to take advantage of fan dissatisfaction to lower John Henry's offer, and John Henry wanting to use the increase in broadcast revenue to raise George's offer.

"800 million pounds, I am willing to pay 800 million pounds to buy Liverpool, which is already 150 million pounds higher than the valuation given by Forbes, I think it should be considered sincere, right?"

Shen Lang, who had been silent, spoke up.

John Henry weighed it in his heart for a while, and it was estimated that he would never find a more sincere buyer than Shen Lang.

And it is true that John Henry is also frightened by the football market, and he spends tens of millions of pounds to buy players at every turn, and he may have to make up for it out of his own pocket when he loses money.

Now it is undoubtedly the best choice to throw his hand directly to Shen Lang, every time Liverpool fans ask to buy stars, it annoys John Henry.

"Eight hundred million pounds? John Henry smiled and held out his hand.

Shen Lang also shook hands with John Henry and reached an agreement, which was also discussed with George before coming, George was responsible for the early negotiation and tug-of-war, and Shen Lang was responsible for the final word.

After getting the deal of 800 million pounds, John Henry felt a lot more relaxed, and said to Shen Lang: "Mr. Shen, this time the pressure is going to be on you, although Liverpool has very loyal fans, but they are also crazy enough."

They'll keep asking when you're going to bring them stars, preferably world stars! Where do I get money to buy world stars?"

John Henry, who was nearly seventy years old, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Unlike John Henry, Shen Lang has no pressure at all, and the transactions in European football are already huge, which is suitable for Shen Lang to spend a lot of money.

"Thank you for the reminder, I will let the Prius invest in the money, and the down payment of 300 million pounds will arrive today. ”

Shen Lang and John Henry negotiated the installment deal, and John Henry said that he understood very well that 800 million pounds would take a while to raise no matter who it was.

"No problem, I'll be in touch with Tom Werner for you, who was the club president I trusted before. John Henry thoughtfully suggested.

"No, Daniel will be the new chairman of Liverpool and I'm sure Daniel will manage Liverpool for me. ”

Shen Lang rejected John Henry's suggestion, and it was better to choose the position of club president to let himself trust the familiar Daniel.

'Of course, you're the new owner of Liverpool and I can only regret Tom Werner and I'll let him know. ”

John Henry shrugged and said with a smile, he wouldn't have any arguments with Shen Lang over a little Tom Werner.

The deal was done, and after the deal was over, John Henry specially invited Shen Lang and them to a banquet in order to express his gratitude, and Shen Lang did not refuse.

During the meal, Shen Lang remembered something and asked, "John, who are you and the boss of Rome?"

"I'm the big boss of the Fenway Group, he's a minority shareholder, what, you want to buy players from Roma?" John Henry explained with a smile.

"Yes, I think Liverpool's squad is terrible, of course, I don't mean you. ”

John Henry didn't care: "I know, who do you want to buy?"

"Salah. ”

"Salah?" John Henry was a little surprised, but just after reaching a deal with Shen Lang, John Henry also intended to curry favor with Shen Lang, and promised: "Don't worry, I am very familiar with the boss of Rome, when do you want Salah to arrive?"

"It's best that I can offer a price that they are happy with during this winter transfer period. ”

Shen Lang is also half a football fan, and he has heard of the name of the Egyptian pharaoh Salah.

Can Liverpool be called Liverpool without Salah?

The strongest thigh didn't come, Liverpool still had to develop obscenely, Shen Lang planned to buy a few more superstars to play, how could it be interesting to always play a development game to develop a real person?
