Chapter 217: Acquisition of a Football Club
The next day, Shi Lin returned to the office as usual to look at the information.
Shi Lin lay leisurely on the rocking chair, smiling and reminiscing about the beautiful spring light of last night, as if he was still floating in front of him, lingering.
Covetousness, or true colors?
Shi Lin didn't know that the secretary's phone call interrupted his reverie.
Xiaomei, the secretary on the other end of the phone, said: "Boss, Mr. Adelaide is calling, his friend has negotiated with a football club in La Liga, and he can buy 100% of the club's shares, and he has made an appointment with the other party, but the price needs to be negotiated and determined by the boss himself." β
"Oh, there's news, call the academy coach Adelaide and the lawyer to come with me and help us arrange the trip. β
Shi Lin was suddenly refreshed, and after waiting for so long, he finally had news, so he ordered to reply.
"Okay. Secretary Xiaomei replied.
A few days later, Stone Forest's private jet landed at the airport, and Academy coach Adelaide contacted his friend.
As soon as Shi Lin and the others got out of the airport, they saw several foreigners enthusiastically and stepped forward to greet Shi Lin and the others.
"Hello, Mr. Shi, welcome to the city of Malaga!" said a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, about forty years old, in Mandarin.
"Mr. Shi, this is the owner of the club, Mr. Li, who is also Chinese, and this is the president of the club, Fernando Sanz,......" Adelaide's friend introduced Shi Lin.
"Boss Li, Mr. Fernando, hello!" Shi Lin looked at Boss Li, slightly surprised, "I heard that someone in our Huaxia bought the Malaga team, I thought it was a news report, but I didn't expect it to be true, hello!"
Boss Li sighed for a long time: "Hey, it's hard to say, please ask Mr. Shi to go to the club." β
Several people got into the van and arrived at the stadium not long after.
Shi Lin looked at the somewhat dilapidated court in front of him, and sighed a little.
Club President Fernando Sanz introduced the history of the team and the results of football in previous years.
Shi Lin also took a look at the information before he came, Malaga has no glorious past, no dazzling present, but has a bright future, although they have been wandering between La Liga and La Liga in recent decades, they have never been relegated for nearly two decades, and almost reached the UEFA Cup in the early 90s.
In the summer of 2o1o, the arrival of Qatari Sheikh Abdullah Nassr also gave the team more hope for the future, but the result was disappointing.
Not long ago, a consortium in Huaxia bought this poorly run club.
Walking through the training ground, Shi Lin stopped for a long time, watching the club's players training, with Shi Lin's eyesight, it can be observed from a distance, some players are a little tired on their faces, some lazy, and their interest in playing football is not very high.
Shi Lin also saw one or two football stars, and now he doesn't have much curiosity about these stars, if he was still a student, maybe he would run up to ask for an autograph.
After a while, a few people returned to the private office of the club's boss Li.
"Mr. Shi, I don't know if you're satisfied?" Boss Li looked at Shi Lin and seemed to be thinking about something, and asked in a little anxious heart.
He knew that the young man in front of him was world-renowned and wealthy, and for him, buying a team was a piece of cake, and he was not at the same level as Shi Lin, and the distance was like a chasm that was difficult to cross.
Shi Lin pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "To be honest, I am not satisfied, the stadium is broken, the geographical location is not very good, and the state of the players is not positive, whether it can be relegated is still a problem." β
As soon as Shi Lin's voice fell, Boss Li was very anxious, if he could not solve the financial problem in time, the domestic enterprise might really go bankrupt, so he patiently explained to Shi Lin: "Mr. Shi, Malaga is still a strong team, the team must be a little tired after the game, most of the players are young people, the potential to become a big star is very large, the team is still in the run-in period, and once the run-in period is over, the team's results will definitely be better next season." β
Shi Lin shook his head and said directly: "Actually, everyone knows it, and I don't bother to worry about these things with you, just say how much it is, and I'll buy it when it's suitable." β
Shi Lin didn't want to say anything more, no matter how expensive a team was, it couldn't be expensive, he could earn a team in a day, and wasting time negotiating was picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons.
After hearing this, Boss Li groaned and said, "100 million pounds!"
Shi Lin smiled and said: "Boss Li, do you think I'm too young or think I'm wronged, although I don't play football, at least I have made people study this team."
8ooo million pounds, which is more reasonable, is also much higher than your previous purchase price, besides, your domestic company needs money! β
"Mr. Shi, this, this is a little too little! I have already quoted a reasonable price. Boss Li was a little hesitant and smiled bitterly.
"There are a lot of teams I can buy, if you think it's okay, just sign the contract, I'll transfer it immediately, and I won't owe money!" Shi Lin stood up, said directly, and pretended to leave.
Boss Li looked at this situation, and his heart was even more panicked, he stood up and thought about it, this is indeed a good deal.
Boss Li secretly thought, when he revitalizes the factory, he will buy another one to play, and the young man in front of him has a lot of energy, maybe he will ask him one day, so he made up his mind: "Mr. Shi, your sincerity has touched me, and I am very happy to make a friend like you." 8ooo million pounds, happy to work with, hope to get your help in the future!"
"Happy cooperation!" Shi Lin shook hands with him, then signed the contract, and after the lawyer checked that it was correct, he transferred the money online.
As the president of the club, Fernando Sanz, seeing the whole transaction process and the change of the owner, he was also helpless.
However, he welcomes the new boss even more, after all, Shilin's "Shenhao" name is well-known in the world, several private jets, thousands of luxury cars, just buy it.
After the deal was successful, Shi Lin made an appointment with head coach Juan de Ramos, and Juan De also knew Shi Lin's reputation and carefully explained the player's situation to him.
And the president, Fernando, carefully reported on the operation of the club.
Two hours later, Shi Lin came to the stadium to meet the players and coaching staff.
After the head coach blew the whistle and gathered the players, Shi Lin walked out, stood in front of the team, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, many people may not know me, and there may be some people who know me."
I guess I am very confused, what am I doing in this team today, I won't go around in circles, this football club was bought by me, and I will be your boss in the future. β
Wow!
All the players, as well as some of the coaching staff who didn't know it, were shocked to see that the final round of the league was going to be played the next day, the team was sold, and some of the players began to wonder which team they should go to next season.
"Mr. Shi, I know you, but you don't understand football, can you buy the team with the money in your hand!
If you don't manage a club, how can you keep the team running? Do you want to ruin the team?"
MΓ‘laga's current star Ignacio Camacho was a little unconvinced and directly stood up for the theory. (To be continued.) )
