The transaction took place in a low-key hotel, but the outside world attracted a lot of attention, and the news that Liverpool changed hands again and that the big buyer was a wealthy woman had already spread all over the Internet. The guy with an extremely keen sense of smell captured some photos by squatting and waiting for the rabbit.

When they left the hotel and got into the car at the door, there were many news media gathered around, and Henry, who walked in front, was photographed by them with a smile on his face, and the next day's news gave him a close-up of his smile, accompanied by thousands of words sprinkled with a sour headline: The American boss finally made Liverpool's money.

But Henry is in the past, and the journalists are most concerned about the new boss. Although he was heavily guarded by bodyguards, he was sure that it was a lady, and he was still very young, but unfortunately he did not face the camera, only the side face and back were shot, followed by Mercedes Benz roaring away, and the windows were also filmed.

That's enough to do a lot of work. For the acquisition, major sports websites at home and abroad have set up columns to discuss any news about the acquisition of Liverpool, including the identity of the new owner who everyone is most curious about at the moment. An Feng went up to read some reports, and there was a lot of information.

Before Liverpool's official press conference, there was little information about the new owner, only that it was a young woman. And this made the gossip media reverie, they speculated about the identity of the female boss, assets, and even the marriage match, which made people cry and laugh.

"Laughing at what?" Joanna, who had finished taking a shower, sat on the edge of the bed wrapped in a bath towel.

An Feng turned to her: "The current media is really undisciplined, and there is no information, but it is speculating on your age and height, and also guessing your zodiac sign based on your low-key travel." Many netizens followed suit, and they asked Liverpool officials to provide fans with official photos of the new owner. ”

Joanna leaned over and said, "Really?" ”

"Look at this!" An Feng showed her, "Everyone has different opinions on the forum, and what fans are most curious about in the past is the family background of the new owner. The investment in the construction of the team, and now it has become a question for fans to be curious about the appearance of the female boss, looking forward to the press conference later. ”

Joanna moved behind him and pointed to a message: "If you don't blow up the photos, you dare to say that I am not confident?" I'll make my official debut tomorrow and let them see! ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" An Feng smiled, "Then you have to prepare your lines." It can be expected how fierce the reporters at the press conference were. ”

"Don't be afraid!" She squeezed at him, "The team is what you insist on buying, before this, my knowledge of football is completely on the surface, if you don't protect me, I will keep it a secret, and admit that I am just an agent, and the unreliable husband is the one behind it." ”

"Is it so dark?" An Feng pulled her into his arms. Messing with her.

……

The next morning, they attended Liverpool's first meeting after the change of owners.

Joanna was still dressed in a generous manner, with a complete jewelry necklace, a light blue hat, and a long white purse on black gloves. The look is more like a lady attending a royal event than a boss. This demeanor is not something that ordinary women can have.

The table was filled with Liverpool shareholders, directors and executives, many of whom were new and unremarkable. The temperament is elegant, and then look at the black-clad bodyguards who invited the security guards away. The panache is fierce enough. It's not clear where she came from, but it's definitely better than the previous boss.

Joanna looked around and said in her distinctive accent, "It's a good day, it's a pleasure to be here with you!" ”

Everyone also said hello.

Goodrich spoke: "As an assistant to Mr. Ann and his wife." He took a special look at An Feng, who was sitting quietly next to him, and everyone followed suit, remembering this Asian man who may not be a small man. Goodrich continued: "I will be in charge of communication with everyone. ”

"What do you mean?" Someone at the bottom asked.

Joanna explains: "For the management of the club. Forgive me for my limited time, and in many cases, the assistant will perform the duties on my behalf. ”

"Ma'am, will you straighten out the management of the club?" Someone at the bottom asked, it's a team director.

"Not yet. It depends on the grades. Joanna said.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and in order to take office for the new owner, they had to make drastic changes to the club.

"Madame, what do you think is a good result for the team?" Someone asked her about her standards.

'If you can win the league and then the Champions League, I think it's good enough.' Joanna smiled, but not in jere.

Everyone felt the boss's confidence, and the man asked earlier: "With all due respect, I would like to ask Madame how much money you can prepare for the team?" ”

If you play the Premier League, you have to burn money, and it makes no sense to talk about the championship if you don't burn money. How much money the new owner can prepare is crucial to the development of the club.

"It depends on how much additional investment you allow." Joanna's response was very domineering.

As it stands, she buys 51% of the team's shares, leaving the rest in the hands of other shareholders, and the additional investment, according to the company's articles of association, requires the consent of all shareholders. Liverpool are currently worth £400 million and Joanna could have diluted their shares.

"Can you give a specific amount?" There are people in the audience who are weak in the face of the domineering female boss.

Joanna glanced at him and said confidently: "I can only say that there will be more funds than the value of the team, and part of the plan will be used to buy players, and the other part will be used to build a new stadium immediately. So the future of the team depends on everyone. ”

If she invests another 400 million and the shareholders do not add additional funds, it will dilute the shares of all shareholders to less than 1%. Joanna's meaning is obvious, if you don't agree, then she won't invest this money in vain, so this is a key choice.

This lady is different from the previous two American bosses who slammed the door, although she is a lady, although she is young, but the fact that she has money is enough to dispel everyone's concerns. The Premier League can't afford to play without money, and the Premier League championship is the best example of burning money, and Liverpool needs the title too much.

In the end, everyone agreed with this decision.

According to the results of the initial negotiations, Joanna will invest £300 million to increase her stake to 72%, of which £150 million will be used to buy players, and the rest will be paid for the initial cost of the stadium's construction, with a further £500 million to follow.

The meeting with the new boss was satisfying. Although she will weaken most people's equity, but this is something that has no choice, Liverpool will continue to decline, without good results, no matter how much they take shares, it is useless, and if it is strong. That's the value.

At noon, Liverpool officials held a press conference.

Joanna was not present for the whole time, and at the request of her assistant, she only appeared for a few minutes, saying a few words and answering some selected questions.

Although it was only a few minutes, the camera of the scene was focused on her.

Escorted by bodyguards and assistants, she was surrounded by reporters and answered some long-accumulated questions unhurriedly. For example, her career, her investment plans, and the question of whether to stay or leave some players who are not very satisfactory. If she doesn't want to answer anything about privacy, the assistant will help her block it.

"Excuse me......" Several reporters spoke at the same time.

Goodrich said, "I'm sorry guys! Madame's interview time is over, and we must leave according to the plan! Sorry please get out of the way! ”

Joanna didn't answer, leaving the camera with a temperamental smile.

The reporters were very reluctant, and there were a lot of questions, but a few black-clothed men around them didn't talk about this.

The limited interview time was forcibly cut off. Although the reporters still wanted to pester her, they couldn't stand the burly bodyguard. Under the attention of the camera lens, the female boss was escorted away by bodyguards and got into the car with a very stylish man in a gray and white suit with his hands in his pockets.

Joanna breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally got rid of them!" I said I had to pick and choose, but there were always people who wanted to inquire about my privacy. ”

"That's why I said it's not good to be high-profile." An Feng helped her take off her hat. "Even if you're not a public figure, there will be people who follow you."

"In a few months, they'll forget." Joanna said.

"Probably so." An Feng said.

But he underestimated the fans' curiosity about the beautiful boss, whose information has been revealed, including the name. Marriage match and appearance, as well as those few minutes of interview video, as soon as the results were put on the Internet, some people learned from the accent and the surname before marriage that he was from a noble background.

Aristocratic culture exists in a contradictory form in Britain, some people reject the aristocracy and advocate equality for all, and some people are full of yearning and curiosity about the aristocracy, which can be seen from the popularity of film and television works. And in reality, it is natural to come into contact with this kind of character who usually does not show the landscape.

The style of the sports column that night was more about Liverpool's new owner, with several news items on display of photos taken at the scene, the demeanor and temperament of the female boss impressed everyone, and the Stanwell family explained in words made fans who yearn for aristocracy feast their eyes.

But Joanna began to regret it, the British aristocratic culture has always been low-key and introverted, and there is a strong contrast in scenes like this showmanship.

In addition to this trend of advocating female bosses, there are some more normal reports.

Liverpool officials have confirmed that the new owners will make a significant investment in the team, first of all, the issue of players, in order to prepare for the league in August, they still have more than two months to prepare, buy good players, etc. And the new stadium, which dragged on for more than ten years, was done by her in one sentence.

It may also be that years of grudges have finally been swept away, and the spokesman vaguely revealed that the new owner will be prepared to spend a huge amount of money to help Liverpool regain the Premier League title and European title. The approach is simple – money. The new boss is not short of money and will not skimp on money.

In Chinese, it is "domineering".

She put everything that the two American owners couldn't do before, bought players and directly spent 150 million as reserves, and the stadium with a budget of 400 million started construction immediately. The American's credibility in England has evaporated, and after being replaced by an England owner, his decisiveness simply made the fans cheer and celebrate.

There is a glimmer of hope.

After the official press release, some people began to care about the owner's net worth, and Chelsea's rise through the Aboujinyuan policy has turned the Premier League into a naked money game, and it is really impossible to play without money. The female boss's investment is so refreshing, what is the basis for it?

Some people looked down, but unfortunately they couldn't get the specific number, but they only knew that Joanna was the chairman of a charitable foundation and was full of love. He was also a shareholder in a machine factory, and a new company that bought Nokia. However, the valuation of non-listed companies is very difficult, and the financial statements are not public, so they can only be approximated.

This is probably only a few hundred million, which is completely inconsistent.

Then, someone targeted Joanna's mysterious husband, who had no achievements in the UK. But in the United States, it is different, his background is deep, and the most certain thing is that he is related to the "Jean and Tima Biological Research Center", is one of the shareholders, and also has a shipping company based in Florida.

Some people shook out that he had a relationship with the GP company, and also gave clues and inferences from various aspects, and finally concluded that her husband's assets were conservative 100 billion, and more than 100 trillion - this is indeed surprising enough, but unfortunately the whole article is speculation, and there is no evidence to support his thesis.

Soon fans from other clubs began to bombard, comparing the assets of their own team owners on the Internet, and some people came up with another £800 billion...... The most empty and real thing is only laughed at by everyone. You can't guess without evidence from authoritative statistical authorities.

For magazines such as Forbes, the data is from the public financial statements of listed companies, but unfortunately none of the companies under An Feng are listed, maybe it can be speculated in the future, but not now. For non-listed companies, it is generally inferred from turnover – but the statements of non-listed companies are generally not public.

It's impossible to hide everyone – but it's easy to hide from the public, and if the company goes public, you use a company that is not listed – the easiest. The shares are then diluted and dispersed to various companies, and then the next level of dispersion is carried out...... After repeating like this, I'm afraid the tax bureau will be dizzy.

After guessing and guessing, I can't figure out how much net worth the boss lady and the boss have.

PS: Speaking of net worth, I recently flipped through Forbes, and then found that Sinclair-Oil (Sinclair) is still there!! Revenue of $7.7 billion...... When I first used the name, I thought they were bankrupt in the last century...... Hehe(To be continued......)
