Chapter 514: Acquisition Successful
The next day, Ding Hongxing introduced Liao Minghua to Lin Yaozu, who introduced Lin Yaozu's identity as a son of the Lin family in Hong Kong, and he was about to become the chairman and CEO of Manchester City Club in the English Premier League.
Of course, Liao Minghua, the name of the Lin family in Hong Kong, has heard of it, this is a well-known rich family in the Chinese circle, Hua seems a little restrained, but when Lin Yaozu asked about Liao Minghua's profession, Liao Minghua's restraint disappeared, and he began to talk like a river, in fact, both of them can communicate in Cantonese, but in order to make Ding Hongxing understand, they still used Mandarin.
Lin Yaozu nodded again and again when he heard Liao Minghua's words, with his experience, of course, he could hear whether Liao Minghua had real material in his stomach, he could hear that Liao Minghua had a lot of thoughts about his role in the future, and he had ideas for the business development of a football club, of course, the focus was on Ding Hongxing, the future Manchester City club, the biggest star will undoubtedly be Ding Hongxing, and business development around him will be twice the result with half the effort, this idea is very clear.
After talking to Liao Minghua for about an hour, Lin Yaozu made a decision on the spot to let Liao Minghua serve as the head of the commercial department of the future Manchester City club, of course, if Ding Hongxing had not approved in advance, he would not have made a decision so quickly.
After the matter was negotiated, Lin Yaozu went to Manchester to continue negotiations with the board of directors of Manchester City club, and he said that when the acquisition of Manchester City was finalized, Liao Minghua would be notified to go to Manchester immediately.
On 3 May, Ajax took on Mastri away in a game that was no longer about league titles, with Louis van Gaal fielding a mixed line-up, with Ding Hongxing scoring two goals to help Ajax win 3-0 over Mastri.
Ding Hongxing's league goals reached thirty-seven, seven goals ahead of Ronaldo, who did not score in this round, with four rounds left in the league, Ronaldo wants to overtake Ding Hongxing, and it is almost hopeless to win the league's top scorer, and now the biggest suspense is whether Ding Hongxing can reach forty goals.
On the third day after the game, Lin Yaozu called Ding Hongxing, his negotiations with the Manchester City Board of Directors have been successfully completed, he represented Xinghai Investment to acquire more than 90% of the equity of Manchester City Club, officially became the chairman of Manchester City Club, only a dozen or so small shareholders still hold 8.6% of Manchester City Club's equity, these are Manchester City club diehard fans, including Manchester City legend Francis. Plum.
The purchase price given by Lim Yiu Cho was £5 million, and he acquired the purchase of former chairman Peter Brown. The shares of the vast majority of Manchester City shareholders, including Swales, who made a mess of Manchester City during the reign of former chairman Swals, are now one step away from the relegation zone, and he is already very unpopular, which is an important reason why he was able to buy Manchester City this time.
Of course, Lin Yaozu also followed Ding Hongxing's words, and he assured all the former shareholders of Manchester City that he would invest at least 10 million pounds of transfer funds in addition to the broadcast share next season, and bring in a popular superstar, if he did not fulfill his promise, these former shareholders can get back their shares at any time, this fierce medicine made the former shareholders have more confidence in Lin Yaozu's motivation to buy Manchester City Club.
In addition, Lin Yaozu's Lin family from Hong Kong and his background in studying in the UK also make him not too excluded by these Manchester City people, and some of his connections in the UK also play an important role, otherwise, in this era, it is still very difficult for an Oriental to buy a Premier League club.
Although the acquisition agreement has been signed, Lin Yaozu has also transferred 5 million pounds of money to the other party's designated account, but the news has not yet been publicly announced, because the Premier League season is not over yet, and Manchester City hope that the news can be announced publicly after the final round of the Premier League on May 13.
After making the call, Lin Yaozu simply came to Amsterdam again, this time, he wanted to discuss the personnel problem with Ding Hongxing.
Personnel issues, including the club's employees, as well as the team's players, since it is a new chairman who has joined the Manchester City club, of course, it is impossible to keep the club's original employees, although the phrase "once a son of heaven and a courtier" has a derogatory connotation, but there is still a certain amount of truth, the new chairman does not need to be familiar with people he can trust, but to use those who he is not familiar with? Moreover, Manchester City FC has made a mess, and the original employees have more or less some responsibility.
The original players of Manchester City Club, except for a few, are also very average, so the player lineup must also be purged. ,
Ding Hongxing is the actual big boss, and when it comes to football, Lin Yaozu doesn't know as much as Ding Hongxing, so of course he has to come to discuss with Ding Hongxing.
Ding Hongxing's opinion is that he only needs to use his own people in a few key positions, and there is no need for others to replace them all, and Lin Yaozu also thinks deeply of this opinion.
The more important positions of a club are the heads of the administration department, the finance department, the business department, and the transfer department, plus the head coach of the team.
Now that the head of the Ministry of Commerce has Liao Minghua, the head of the Administration Department and the Finance Department don't need to know much about football, Ding Hongxing asked Lin Yaozu to arrange two people to hold these two positions, and the candidates for these two positions are determined, and Manchester City Club can start to operate normally.
The director of the transfer department must have a deep understanding of football, the candidate for this position can not be too urgent, and he must look for it slowly, anyway, it is only May now, and Ding Hongxing also has a spectrum in his heart about the transfer, the big deal is that after Ding Hongxing determined the transfer target and price, Liao Minghua made a cameo first, and his business negotiation skills are still good.
As for the team's head coach, current head coach Brian Brown. Holden has already decided to resign after the end of this season, so this candidate has to be re-searched, even if Holden does not resign, Ding Hongxing will not be able to retain him, he has brought Manchester City's results to a mess for several seasons in a row, and it is difficult to escape the blame.
Originally, the original board of directors of Manchester City FC already had a candidate for next season's manager, Englishman Allan. Bol, however, is not a good choice for a manager, and now that Manchester City has changed hands, Allan has changed hands. Ball is naturally not in the scope of Ding Hongxing's consideration.
