"Mr. Abramovich. After an embarrassing dreary, Malcolm Glazer raised his head to look at Abu and said in a deep voice, "Please tell Mr. Zhang Fan, if I can, I am willing to give Mr. Zhang Fan two million dollars worth of company shares or bonds." Hopefully, Mr. Zhang will give up on the acquisition of Manchester United. ”

"Father, what are you talking about?!"

"No way!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Why?!"

Before Malcolm Glazer could finish his sentence, the children who had come with him all cried out in dissatisfaction. That's a huge sum of 20 million dollars! How much money did their family have in total? These young people didn't even get that much money to spend. At this time, when I heard that my father was easily sent out for nothing, it all exploded in an instant.

Malcolm Glazer was not at all moved by the cries of these young men. As a shopping mall veteran, he sees these things very clearly. Although $20 million is a huge amount of money that is as painful as cutting meat, if you can win Manchester United, you can make it back by selling players casually. It is very clear which is more important than the other. After all, he knew very well that if Zhang Fan really wanted to win Manchester United, their Glazer family would not have the strength to fight at all.

In Malcolm Glazer's view, Zhang Fan doesn't have to do anything, just say that if he wants to buy Manchester United, he can make $20 million for nothing, and no one will refuse this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing.

However, what makes these people unbelievable. After hearing Malcolm Glazer's words, Abu frowned, "What do you mean?

$20 million is a lot of money in the eyes of the Glazer family. But in the eyes of Zhang Fan and Abu, they are nothing at all. They buy something casually for more than this price, and if they really take the money, once the news spreads. Whether it is Zhang Fan or Abu, they will become the laughing stock in the circle. was actually told to retire for such a small amount of money, and in the future, there will be no reputation in this circle at all.

"I said, 'Listen.' Abu's expression became solemn: "Manchester United, don't think about it, Zhang Fan is going to decide." If you want to compete, there is no problem, just pay for it. If you want to use any informal means, be prepared. ”

Abu took a sip of the water glass, then got up and walked towards the door, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you much." ”

Looking at Abu's departing figure, Malcolm Glazer had a bitter smile on his face. This is that reality is stronger than people. His strength is not enough, and it is not worth mentioning at all in front of Zhang Fan and Abu. Spending money is something you don't even have to think about. Even if he sold all his belongings, he would not be able to compete with them.

One is worth tens of billions, and the other is worth hundreds of billions. What do you have enough dollars for a billion dollars? As for the irregular means used, that's a joke. Under the crushing of such absolute strength, what kind of means dare to be used, and what kind of consequences will there be after using them, just thinking about it makes people shudder.

"Father, what now?" asked a young Glazer family member with a reluctant face. In his opinion, he has suffered great humiliation today. As a child of a rich family, he has always been a sought-after character wherever he goes, but today he is completely ignored. It's a feeling that is hard for these young people to accept.

"What else can I do?" Malcolm Glazer shook his head helplessly, "I had to give up." ”

"What?!" all the young men let out an unwilling roar. Manchester United is now a plate of fat to their mouths. But to give up at this time? It's really hard for these people to accept. There have even been people who have already publicized their imminent becoming the owner of Manchester United. If you are slapped in the face at this time, then you will not have to mix in the circle in the future.

"Father!" someone couldn't help but exclaim, "We've invested so much before, wouldn't it be all in vain to give up now?"

The Glazer family had already poured in tens of millions of dollars in preparation for the acquisition. At this time, giving up all this money is all in vain. This huge loss is really unacceptable to them.

"Otherwise, what else?" Malcolm Glazer scolded with a cold face, "Do you want to compete with Zhang Fan for the price? All of our net worth is thrown in, and it is not enough for people to make a movie casually and make a lot of money." Why compete with others?"

After a pause, Malcolm Glazer glanced at these unwilling young men with a stern gaze, "Don't make any mess of the hell! Zhang Fan is not something you can provoke." If anyone wants to do something bad, we can't afford it!"

"Zhang Fan is not an ordinary person. People are very rich, and if we want to take revenge, we can't bear it at all. After the reprimand, Malcolm Glazer began to reassure, "To the extent that Zhang Fan is there, we really can't help it." You can only choose to back down. In fact, this time is already good, because people are directly face-to-face. If you want to trap us, then wait until the middle of the transaction to make a move, and then you really have to get all trapped. ”

Malcolm Glazer sighed and turned around, "This is how the world is. If we're strong, it's up to us now. But we don't have enough strength now, so we can only accept reality. Those who can't accept it can only be eliminated. ”

Whether it is Zhang Fan or Abu, it will not be difficult to deal with Malcolm Glazer. Whether it's fighting for money directly or taking the relationship away, they are an irresistible existence for Malcolm Glazer.

Since you can't resist, you can only bear it silently. You can't really abandon your family and business and take out everything you have to fight with Zhang Fan, right? Malcolm Glazer, who was born Jewish, is very calm. Besides, even if you really try to fight, you can't fight.

As for the unwillingness and anger of several juniors in the family, they can only swallow it themselves. This can be regarded as a vivid practical lesson in social reality for them. The children of rich families, who were always sought after in the past, finally felt the gap caused by the change of identity when they encountered a higher level of pressure.

After settling the matter here, all that remains is to take a majority stake in Manchester United from Martin Edwards.

Compared to the Glazer family, Martin Edwards is much easier to deal with.

This is not to say that Martin Edwards is an ordinary businessman to deal with, but because in order to sell his shares in Manchester United to Glazer at a high price, Martin Edwards ignored the strong opposition of the club and the fans, and did the thing a long time ago. He had already offended everyone he could before, and now if he sold the stock to the Glazer at a high price, he would just take the money and leave. But the Glazer family withdrew, and Martin Edwards was embarrassed at this time.

This is the way it is now, Martin Edwards offends everyone in every way. And he has reached the point where people and gods are angry, and he can't sell it if he wants to.

After the Glazer family withdrew, Martin Edwards had no other choice. can only sell the stocks in his hand to Zhang Fan. As for the idea of two tigers competing and then he taking advantage of the fisherman's profits, it now seems to be a joke.

In fact, if Martin Edwards hadn't been fascinated by the dollar bill, he would have been able to see that once Zhang Fan intervened strongly, the Glazer family would not have been able to pose any competition at all. It's just that he was dazzled by the green dollar bills, and thus fell into the current embarrassing field.

Not only did Zhang Fan not come forward, but even Abu did not come forward. It was only Chelsea FC manager Kenny Young who intervened with Martin Edwards to deal with the matter.

Fortunately, Zhang Fan didn't think about relying on this matter to slash Martin Edwards hard, because there was no need for this. He simply bought those United shares in Martin Edwards' hands at market price.

If it had been before, Martin Edwards would never have agreed to sell his shares at the market price. But now, after the publicity and hype of the Glazer family and his own greed. The price was already overjoyed to him.

Martin Edwards owns the majority of Manchester United's shares. After buying his shares, Zhang Fan only needs to buy a part of Manchester United's shares in the market to reach the 75% threshold. After that, he can apply for a forced delisting and turn Manchester United into his own personal toy. It's like the Disney Company.

Things are moving fast, and the shareholders who own the shares of Manchester United have no backbone in the face of the above-market purchase price, as Manchester United fans say will never sell Manchester United to foreigners.

Because Zhang Fan only needs to acquire 75% of the stock at a high price to execute the forced delisting, and the price after that is the market price. Therefore, these shareholders are all scrambling to sell their shares to Zhang Fan. I'm afraid I'm slower than others. And for the accusations from all walks of life, these shareholders are also a hearty response, if I don't sell, some people will sell!

With so much shareholder support, Zhang Fan's plan to buy Manchester United is progressing very smoothly. It soon acquired more than 75 percent of the shares of Manchester United. After that, it is necessary to file a delisting with the stock exchange.

Once the delisting process is officially opened, it will be an irreversible thing. Manchester United's remaining shares in the market will inevitably be taken over by Zhang Fan at the price of the compulsory acquisition. When the shares in his hands reach 100%, Manchester United will be forced to delist, and then become Zhang Fan's private company.

The entire Manchester United takeover process took less than a month, and the money cost was less than a billion dollars. This is mainly because Martin Edwards was forced to sell his shares to Zhang Fan at the market price under pressure from all sides, which allowed Zhang Fan to save a lot of money.

After the news of Zhang Fan's acquisition of Manchester United came out, the entire market was in an uproar.
