Xu Teng is not Abu, football investment is just an embellishment of the Xu family, he will not invest wildly for the championship, nor does he intend to achieve Berlusconi's results in the football field, let alone sign a check without principle like his father Moratti.

For the needs of business operations, Cartier Group, RAM Chip Company and Liverpool Football Club's parent company, Phoenix Capital Group, has been packaged as a British-funded consortium with prominent British shareholders, and will invite new British capital to take a stake this year.

The Xu family nominally only holds 17% of the shares of British Phoenix Capital through Galaxy Capital, and is not even the largest shareholder.

Xu Teng's acquisition of Liverpool FC with Huateng Holdings is actually a left-handed and right-handed deal, but on the bright side, it is really a Chinese owner buying the Premier League club.

This was the original plan.

Xu Teng changed his decision when he witnessed the £430 million team at Birmingham Club's St Andrews Stadium win the game in an awkward situation.

Liverpool are good, but they don't deserve him.

He doesn't have to be like Abu, who completely controls a company, like an FM player, to start from scratch and eventually create an era, he doesn't even need an era.

Birmingham is the second largest city in the British island country, second only to London, with a prosperous economy, not only the best manufacturing base in the UK, but also very diversified, Xu Teng feels that Birmingham's tourism economy is not good, which is compared with cities like Milan and London, if it is only compared in the UK mainland, Birmingham's tourism is definitely the top three.

It is said that Germans loved to visit Birmingham, probably because of the bombing during World War II, which was so frequent that it was almost flattened.

The Xu family's investment in Birmingham is second only to London, because it is also the headquarters of Rover Motors, the capital of the British automotive and aviation industries, and produces cars of important British brands such as Rover, MG, LandRover, Jaguar, and Aston Martin.

Outside of London, the only international airport in the UK that can fly directly to Chinese mainland and Hong Kong, Xu Teng's Gulfstream G550 special plane takes off from Hong Kong Airport and arrives directly at Birmingham International Airport, which also has the second largest Chinese community in the UK.

Because they often have to go to Birmingham, the Xu family has a hotel-style luxury apartment in Birmingham's Chamberlain Square, which belongs to the Victorian antique building, during the Second World War, Birmingham was almost bombed into ruins, and the existing classical buildings, no matter which era they represent, were all rebuilt according to the original after the war.

This is the case with the Burlington hotel apartment owned by the Xu family, in addition to the senior management of the Xu family and Phoenix Capital, it is also open to the outside world, but the price is very high.

In the evening, Xu Teng entertained the club's president, head coach and several player representatives here, Teng Jian did not distinguish between each other, and Chen Jian also accompanied him.

The two of them sighed a little that the British food culture is really not very good.

It's not the first time they've been to the UK, and they're not very satisfied with just talking about food.

Xu Teng has been to many countries in recent years, and he generally feels that Italian food is really good, what to say about French food, he is not very adaptable, as for the British ...... Some of the things are quite pleasantly surprised, like curry.

Xu Teng's English has always been very good, after all, at this stage of his life, it is necessary to spend an hour every day to familiarize himself with English. For some conversations, it is best not to have an interpreter present.

He talked to Mr. John Wally about the annual meeting, and he also talked to Benitez and Gillard about the team.

After the meal.

Xu Teng asked Chen Jian to stay in the restaurant and discuss his new idea with Chairman John Wally.

He decided to give up Liverpool, he really didn't have the energy, and he didn't have the heart to rebuild such a club, Bei Shuai was in the team, he was very uncomfortable, Bei Shuai was not there, he estimated it would be even more uncomfortable.

"Chen Jian, you used Jiangtai Group to buy Liverpool Club, Jiangzhou's two teams were also acquired by you, and I used Huateng Holdings to buy Manchester United. Xu Teng's new idea was a bit rough, as soon as he appeased Bei Shuai and Gerald, he turned around and was about to kick them aside and choose another good master.

"Okay, I don't have any problems, it's more interesting than doing business, right?" Jian Chen shrugged indifferently, although he was a pot picker for Xu Teng, but he was very happy to take this pot, after all, it was a very interesting thing.

Chairman John Wally couldn't understand Chinese, but he was very happy to see Xu Teng and Chen Jian, and laughed together.

Soon.

The old man couldn't laugh anymore.

Xu Teng relayed his new ID with Chen Jian in English, he was in charge of Manchester United, Chen Jian controlled Liverpool, fought big, and privately bet 10 million per game...... Pound sterling.

The winner kills and takes it to continue to invest in the club.

"I really don't think it's a good note, in the UK, many newspapers have reported that the relationship between Liverpool FC and the Huayin consortium, in fact, the Liverpool club's big recruitment in the past two years is also seen as The-ShunFamliy's love for Liverpool. Believe me, both the Liverpool club and the fans love The-ShunFamliy, so I am afraid that the fans on both sides will not welcome it. "Chairman John Walley had to interrupt the nasty game of two young rich men and was playing monkey games on fans of the British Empire.

Two of the UK's greatest clubs are just the addition to the entertainment they gamble.

It's really a bit too much.

"Oh!" Xu Teng is as good as a stream, he knows that the British tabloid is very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful, in fact, it is not difficult to detect this matter, Liverpool Club's investment in the past two years has been provided by the Xu family through the family trust fund.

This is not debt, but a direct capital injection, particularly in 2003 of £250 million, in addition to repaying the Liverpool club's bank debt, while leaving £90 million in cash flow for signings and new developments.

Although Chairman John Wally himself is not a Liverpool fan and is not young, he is an English after all and is well aware of the characteristics of British sports culture, to be exact, the whole of Europe.

It is no problem for the Xu family to give up the Liverpool club, and it is not a problem to re-choose Serie A and La Liga teams outside the Premier League, if they continue to buy other Premier League clubs, it will be too much, and fans on both sides cannot accept it.

Sir Alex Ferguson can accept it, it is only because the lord is very realistic, and now there is no money to make the club bad, The-ShunFamliy is very rich, generous, and does not interfere in the operation and management of the team, which is simply the best major shareholder of the club.

The Chinese conversation between Xu Teng and Chen Jian, Chairman John Wally could not understand, and the English conversation between Xu Teng and John Wally, Chen Jian could understand, after all, he was a top student with English level 6.

"What should I do then?" Jian Chen was a little disappointed, this time he came to watch the game for a short time, but it was still very pleasant.

"Why don't you buy a football club, in Birmingham? I don't think it will cost much, about four or five billion pounds. Xu Teng shrugged, it is rare for Liverpool fans to love the Xu family so much, and he can't let his parents and fellow villagers down, and he can't betray his friends for glory.

"Birmingham City, or Aston Villa?" Jian Chen thought very seriously, settling accounts, he was willing to invest more than a billion, and any more would be a bit unbearable.

The timing of the Xu family's acquisition of Liverpool coincided with the financial bankruptcy of the club's original shareholders, and a British shareholder, who was arguably the richest man in the UK, was in charge of negotiating, and the other party almost gave up to seek a financing to alleviate the crisis.

Therefore, the price of the Xu family to buy Liverpool is not high.

If it is to buy Manchester United, the initial negotiation price between the two parties is around 500 million pounds, and the final actual transaction price may be as high as 800 million pounds, because Manchester United has three major shareholders, each with a different asking price.

If you just want to take control, 500 million pounds is basically enough, if you want to own it all and turn it from a listed company to a family business, then you have to start at least 800 million pounds.

The timing is delicate now, Manchester United is no longer willing to continue to be a public company, because going public means that all financial reports must be made public, many of the behind-the-scenes costs of player trading are all announced, and for the sake of the stock price, shareholders must be paid dividends in the long term, and dividends and profits must be considered every year.

Therefore, Manchester United is asking for privatization within the club, hoping for privatization, desperate to delist, and the club's three major shareholders are also in a position to sell and cash out.

This means that even if the Xu family spends 800 million pounds to completely buy Manchester United, it is basically still a bottom price, and other Premier League clubs, as long as they are financially healthy, will not be able to get two or three billion pounds at all.

If it is a mid-stream team like Newcastle, Tottenham and Aston Villa, the price of four or five billion pounds can also be sold, depending on whether the buyer's willingness is strong.

"Aston Villa. Xu Teng gave a suggestion, because if Birmingham don't control well, the possibility of relegation is very high, and Aston Villa's relegation probability is slightly smaller.

Unbeknownst to him, Aston Villa were later relegated as well.

"You can't play in the Champions League. Chen Jian regrets that although he is far from being comparable to Xu Teng in terms of financial resources, he still hopes that his team can play in the Champions League, otherwise, why would he invest in football.

"Then just invest in a small club, like Birmingham City, as long as you don't relegate it, you have to play in the Champions League, the cost is really too big. Xu Teng made another proposal, because he could see that the chairman of Birmingham City Club Gault really wanted to make a move.

"Forget it, I'm afraid that in less than two years after I took over, this club will be relegated to the Championship, or find a more stable and reliable midstream team, not seeking a return on investment, but begging not to depreciate." "Chen Jian is basically anti-Xu Teng's line, no matter how Xu Teng proposes, he is the opposite, "I'll let people talk to Aston Villa first, and if not, I'll find this Birmingham City club." ”

"Let's talk to Birmingham City first, because football clubs that are not big cities, football clubs that do not have the name of big cities, have no investment value, do not have a wide range of fans and interest bases, and cannot promote the development of local industries and form interest bonds. Xu Teng changed his mind, "As for the business of investing in casinos at Birmingham City Club, I think it is feasible at present. ”

"Your thinking has become so fast, does Mei Jiali know?" Chen Nanshen was a little speechless, looking at Xu Teng with complicated eyes, roughly saying, have you played enough, I am also Gao Shuaijian who ranks in the top 30 on the rich list in Chinese mainland, and I am also dignified.

Chen Jian doesn't have as much money as Xu Teng, and in recent years, he has obediently listened to Xu Teng's words, in Jiangtai Group, he is domineering and indifferent, and on Xu Teng's side, he is much more obedient than Mei Jiali.

Xu Teng didn't answer this question, just smiled, smiled, and was very sincere.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but I'm going to have to talk to Aston Villa by the way, and shop around. Chen Jian, as always, was elegant, rich and handsome, and the president Fan played with the slender silver spoon between his fingers, as if he was already thinking about how to negotiate to bring the price down in order to make the most profits.

He just said that, knowing very well in his heart that the specific transaction negotiations must be entrusted to Phoenix Capital Group, which is "British" Phoenix Capital Group, which is currently recognized as one of the most powerful British investment banks.

Once Carrie's Macau Fuxin Group successfully buys Manchester United, Chen Jian's club will be able to loan players from Manchester United and Liverpool at the same time, and buy some old players or Premier League players with insufficient ability at low prices.

It's just relegation, as long as it can be relegated.

That night, Xu Teng and Chen Jian talked about late at night, playing the FM2004 Premier League while analyzing the players, coaches, and the cooperation between the three Premier League clubs and domestic football clubs.

This is not a small investment, this is a big three investments, since you have to invest so much money, you must find a way to get it back, to maximize the benefits.

Football is not only a sport and an industry, but also politics, people's livelihood, sports and culture, with great symbolic significance.

A few days later, Xu Teng signed an agreement with Phoenix Capital Group to acquire 90% of Liverpool Football Club for 580 million pounds by Huateng Holdings, officially becoming the chairman of the club's board of directors, and John Wally continued to serve as the club's vice president.

On February 24, Xu Teng once again paid a liquidated penalty to AC Milan, inviting Braida to serve as the sporting director of Liverpool FC, and also making some adjustments to the club's medical center and youth training base according to Bei Shuai's opinion.

The club's original relocation plans remained unchanged, with Liverpool City wanting Liverpool and Everton to share a new stadium but were officially abandoned in January due to opposition from both clubs and fans.

The first thing Xu Teng did as the chairman of the club was to inject capital, adjust the construction period to July 2005, and build a new Phoenix Stadium in Stanley Park, sponsored by Galaxy Capital Group, to operate a five-star "Liverpool Galaxy Entertainment Hotel", which is actually a casino. This casino license is in the process of being applied for by the City of Liverpool, but with the UK's relaxed policy on the gaming industry, it is basically not difficult.

Since you're going to travel to Liverpool, come and see the game, and don't go into the game to gamble, I'm really sorry for myself, right?

These news were transmitted back to China one after another, which immediately triggered a national news boom, and NetEase was the most exaggerated, with a headline of "The boss of the Chinese League buys the Premier League giant Liverpool".

Is there any need to be so gloomy and abusive, isn't it just trying all kinds of tricks to squeeze the market share of your Journey to the West series?

The news of Sina.com and Tencent.com is decent and in-depth reports, after all, the relevant information is directly sent by Huateng Company, and the whole special report is very clear, Xu Teng and his family have essentially acquired Liverpool Club as early as 2003.

Phoenix Capital Group is only an investment bank, responsible for related negotiations, as well as a symbolic period of holding, from the 0304 season to the 0405 season, the club's investment in reinforcements is paid by the Xu family.

Such a big news, the Xu family didn't say it, just because this matter is actually a very small thing for the Xu family, it is really very small, insignificant, why worry about it, no need to be proud at all.

All kinds of media tried all kinds of ways to interview Xu Teng, just kidding, with Xu Teng's rank, is it easy to interview, is that what you want to interview, can you interview?

Only Yu Suyun, as Xu Teng's chief assistant and spokesperson, held a press conference to answer questions from various media, as for the club's winter recruitment, there is no need for the time being, and head coach Benitez is very satisfied with the existing squad...... If the head coach doesn't take the blame, who is responsible for the blame, does the chairman have to take the blame if the club's performance is not good?

Xu Teng temporarily lived in Cornwall Villa at No. 5 Regent's Park in London, anyway, before school started, he accompanied his two girlfriends here first, and most of the time he accompanied the goddess Shuangli to go shopping, hundreds of thousands of millions of credit cards.

It doesn't matter if you swipe your card.

Xu Teng's only requirement is to try to pay for the luxury goods under the Katia Group, this requirement is very important, do you think that Mei Jiali and Xia Li are just brushing bags and high heels?

If anyone thinks so, it's too young and too simple.

They brushed all jewelry, watches, antiques, paintings, and works of art, brushing and brushing, a million pounds a day, for three whole days.

Everyone went to the street together, the three girls went shopping, and Xu Teng's group of boys sometimes accompanied them, and sometimes looked for other activities.

Roughly, Xu Teng doesn't care, the most expensive bills are Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels' new spring jewelry, but Liu Junsheng's face has always been miserable, because Luo Yujuan is swiping orders with his card, and he mainly buys all kinds of modern art, whoever is expensive will buy whomever is popular.

Coincidentally, the three goddesses met two paintings by Chen Yifei and Cui Ruzhuo in a gallery, and without saying a word, they brushed it, and Liu Junsheng, who brushed it, wanted to die, and it was better to live than to die.

Thankfully, the Carabao Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea was played on 27 February at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

This is a decisive battle between the new tyrant and the old tyrant, especially a week ago, Liverpool FC just changed its new president, and the presidents of the two clubs can also be called the richest man in Russia VS the richest man in Asia.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the super explosive game is a global attention.

Of the three major cup competitions in the Premier League, the League Cup is not the heaviest, but it is also not the lightest.

Premier League teams have both the FA Cup and the League Cup, and the pressure of the annual competition is too tight, plus the Premier League has no winter break, and it is too focused on confrontation and physicality.

This is the first cup title Mourinho and Benitez will compete for at the same time since they arrived in the Premier League.

Who wins and who loses, basically no one can predict.

As of the end of the 27th round of the Premier League 0405 season, Chelsea is first, Manchester United is second, Arsenal is third, and Liverpool is fourth, which is probably a portrayal of the strength and momentum of the two sides, in fact, the points gap between the four clubs is very small, Chelsea is only 5 points ahead of Liverpool, 2 points ahead of Manchester United.

The game will take place at 15 p.m.

Xu Teng and his classmates arrived at about 10 o'clock in the morning, the time was so tight, Xu Teng originally planned to go to Cardiff Castle, but it didn't work out, Luo Yujuan checked very clearly, Wales' luxury tax and consumption tax are lower than London's, and she and Shuangli Goddess have already made an appointment to go to Cardiff's Gaosheng Street.

Everyone could only accompany them all the way, walked for two hours, and after lunch at noon, Xu Teng took a car to the Millennium Stadium first, and at the invitation of head coach Benitez, he went to the locker room to meet with the team and do the final stage of encouragement.

Mei Jiali has bought too many things in the past few days, and she has no desire to shop, this day's game is too important to Xu Teng and the Xu family, as a real girlfriend, she must accompany Xu Teng to the stadium in advance.

It's not easy to get to this point, Liverpool's FA Cup schedule is over, and apart from the league and the Champions League, the League Cup is currently the easiest title to win.

It's all finals.

Today is a formal occasion, Xu Teng wore a black cashmere jacket with black leather shoes, in China, his figure is slender and strong, not in the UK, so he temporarily matched a pair of Sheraton men's leather shoes, the kind with a relatively high heel.

This is actually the first time he has met with the whole team, but he has nothing to say, just meet, shake hands one by one, and feel that the players are quite excited.

Xu Teng made a little design, took a group photo before the game, and signed it on the back and left it to the captain Gerrard, so that he could frame it in a small photo frame and place it in the corner of the locker room.

Unless he ceases to be president of the club one day, the picture will remain there.

He also crafted a morale-boosting line that he spent the whole day reciting to encourage the team to work hard, but also to take it easy and enjoy the process, which everyone deserves.

Xu Teng didn't know the result, and even if he did, it didn't make any sense, because Liverpool's squad changed a lot, and Benitez didn't have a main squad as always.

The devil knows the result.

When there were still fifteen minutes left before the start of the game, Luo Yujuan and his party waited, and then rushed to the court in a hurry.

Xu Teng sat in the middle row of the chairman's VIP platform, and it was in the middle of the middle row, and the seats in the row behind him were empty, these were the seats of Luo Yujuan and Chen Jian and others.

To his right is Megly, and to his left is Abramovich, Russia's richest man.

The two richest tycoons exchanged ideas for a few minutes with the help of an interpreter, but they both deliberately avoided football and instead talked about each other's business and new investment directions.

Xu Teng's worth is slightly higher than that of Abu, but in terms of actual income every year, the difference is far away, and it may be a five-fold difference.

Because Abramovich owns Rusal and Siberian Oil, two mature and stable giant money printing machines, and Xu Teng's career has only just begun, and he lost a lot last year.

Both sides have a large group of relatives and friends, assistant groups, Xu Teng's sports advisory team, four people led by Coach Zhang have arrived, except for Coach Zhang, the others have been coaches of the national youth and national football team.

One of them is the current head coach of Jiangzhou Jiangtai Sports Club, former national team head coach Alihan, who was re-employed as soon as he was laid off.

Ten days ago, Xu Tengcai and Chen Jian discussed a very complete football plan, which officially changed Youyou Club to Jiangtai Club, in addition to the football team, there are also basketball teams and volleyball teams.

Only the metropolis of a strong province with a strong economy can support a top strong team, and it is difficult to last only by relying on the blood transfusion of the boss.

Xu Teng finally rejected the idea of "Huateng Club", concentrated capital on Liverpool, and handed over the work of Jiangzhou football to Chen Jian, while Xu Teng went to do another thing -- he was ready to invest in a Huateng Sports Senior High School in all provinces of the country, and use sports as his specialty to provide talents for China's sports industry, especially football.

The game finally began, and several cameras on the stadium soon began to aim at Xu Teng and Abramovich, the two rich men have invested heavily in ushering in a battle of local tyrants. (To be continued.) )
