Chapter 1413 Manchester United

……

"Who else is ahead of me?"

"Russia's oil oligarch Roman Abramovich has just bought Chelsea Football Club in London!"

"Abramovich, I didn't expect him to come to England!" Liu Dong said in his heart.

He is no stranger to the major oligarchs in Russia.

"By the way, Liu Dong, are you interested in that club? I can help you then!"

"You know, I know very little about English football. Of course, if His Royal Highness William is willing to serve, I will not refuse!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's not a very difficult thing to do, of course I won't refuse! But if you buy a football club, you always have your own standards, right?"

"Of course, when investing in any industry, I want the best one!" Liu Dong affirmed.

"The best? Then this is a bit difficult! The best football club in England, apart from Arsenal and Manchester United, is only Liverpool!" After twisting his eyebrows and thinking for a while, William raised his head and said a little seriously, "Liu Dong, there is an opportunity in front of you, maybe you can buy Manchester United!"

"Oh?"

"The Glazer family from the United States is borrowing to buy Manchester United with the help of ******** and Rothschild Bank, but these greedy Americans simply want to play a game of 'white wolves with empty gloves'. Manchester United handed them over with a huge debt that is enough to bring down this great club!

Liu Dong's strength is dozens of times stronger than Abramovich, and his acquisition of Manchester United is more like Abou, wanting to enhance his popularity and develop his career in Europe.

It is a hundred times better to hand Manchester United to such a man than to the shrewd crooks of the Glazer family.

"The Rothschilds!"

A cold light flashed in Liu Dong's eyes, "William, I have decided to buy Manchester United, I hope you can help when the time comes, after all, I don't know much about the situation!"

"No problem!" Willian immediately agreed, "When the game is over, we'll do it!" But if you want to buy Manchester United, you have to convince someone!"

"Who?"

Sir Alex Ferguson, the current decorated coach of Manchester United, has been in charge for 18 years and has won more than 30 trophies for the Reds, including nine league titles and a Champions League, and led the team to an unprecedented treble in 1999. Sir Alex Ferguson has a huge influence at Manchester United, English football as a whole, and European football as a whole. No one can buy Manchester United without his consent!"

"Then we'll convince him to agree!"

"You look confident?"

"Of course, didn't you just say that I'm better suited to run Manchester United than the Glazer family crooks. Moreover, with you, the prince of England, and my commitment not to interfere in the operation of Manchester United, if Sir Alex Ferguson can completely decide the matter of football, how to choose better, I think any normal person can tell the difference!"

"Oh, that's right...... However, Liu, before you enlist Sir Alex Ferguson's support, you'd better buy the shares in the hands of the other shareholders of Manchester United, because the Glazer family are also pursuing these shares, and if they get a controlling stake, it will be tricky!"

"That's not a problem! But who are the majority shareholders of Manchester United?"

"McManus and Magnier, the two of them are the two largest shareholders of Manchester United, they hold a full 28.9% of the shares, and if you buy this part of the shares, your holdings will completely exceed the 17.3% in the hands of the Glazer family!

"Money is not an issue!"

Liu Dong said confidently.

After deciding to exclude Hanhua Telecom from the core enterprise of the Hanhua Group, Liu Dong's treasures in India and Egypt, as well as the huge amount of gold obtained from the gold mines in Sudan in Africa, did not intend to continue to invest in Hanhua Telecom! With this nearly $10 billion fund as the foundation, the acquisition of Manchester United is very simple for Liu Dong.

"Hehe, money is certainly not an issue for you...... When you have a 28.9 per cent stake, if you can win Sir Alex Ferguson's backing, it will be much easier to buy Manchester United!"

"That's right!"

After nodding, Liu Dong took out his mobile phone from his pocket!

"What are you doing?"

"Now that you've decided to buy Manchester United, of course you have to act quickly...... I'm not one to procrastinate!"

After the words fell, Liu Dong dialed Feng Jianhui's phone.

Of course, a 'small matter' like the acquisition of Manchester United, which only involves hundreds of millions of pounds, certainly does not require Feng Jianhui, who is in charge of the entire GCA Group and Standard Chartered Bank, to personally take action.

After he listened to Liu Dong's instructions, he conveyed it to the venture capital department of Standard Chartered Bank UK Branch, and they were responsible for the next specific acquisition negotiations!

As for why Liu Dong suddenly chose to buy a British football club, Feng Jianhui didn't ask, he thought it was all a personal hobby that the boss suddenly sprouted. It's like the rich like they like to play with airplanes and yachts.

"It's a pity, Manchester United lost!"

Looking at the dejected Manchester United players and coaching staff who lost 5-4 to Arsenal in the penalty shootout, Willian couldn't help but sigh.

"Maybe it's a good thing for Manchester United! at least its shareholders won't be sitting on the ground!"

"Maybe your reputation as the richest man in the world is too loud!"

After nodding, Liu Dong stood up, "Let's go!"

"Good!"

After saying yes, William stood up. However, after standing up, he realized the difference in Liu Dong's words, "Where are you going next?"

"To meet Manchester United manager Mr. Alex Ferguson, of course!"

"Oh, Liu, you should know that this is not a good time to meet Mr. Ferguson! they just lost the FA Cup in the final!"

"I know, but it's often when people are discouraged that their psychological defenses are more fragile! Besides, I don't plan to go now, we can meet in the evening!"

"Alright!" After a moment's thought, William nodded, "I can help you get Sir Alex Ferguson out, but how to convince him is your business!"

"Of course!"

"Alright, let's go!"

"Where next?"

"Enjoy the sumptuous lunch in London, of course......!"

As they spoke, the two walked out of the box. (To be continued.) )
