Chapter 45 The world is bustling, all for profit
"Jordan, I've figured it out. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit! We have reached an agreement with the Huntington Government and Council for us to relinquish ownership of the estate course in exchange for the newly allocated land area from the Huntington Government and Council. The ownership of this estate course was exchanged for the Huntington government and parliament, and the interests were huge, and the Huntington government and parliament would not be unmoved. They will change the nature of the land of the Manor Course in the name of the citizens of Huntington, and we don't care what to do, as long as we get a bigger piece of land for free. ”
"Replacement, good idea! Feasible, even if we suffer a little loss, but cleanly! Jordan also started to get excited.
"Now that the time is right, the right people are on our side, and we will immediately start the work of acquiring Oxford United, and publicizing the Huntington government and parliament. If we succeed, we will have a foothold in Oxford, and as long as we stand firm, we will be able to complete the transformation from nouveau riche to status. ”
Jordan nodded excitedly, and then said: "Qin, I suggest that you use less Chinese famous allusions when you speak in the future, you know, my poor Chinese knowledge was still learned when I was in love with your sister Qin Qin." ”
The second was dumbfounded, thumped Jordan's chest, and was silent, everything was silent.
Now that Oxford United is owned by the English Biomass Recycling Company, are there any other shareholders? Negotiating with the owners of Oxford United, how to negotiate it, where is their bottom line? And can the Huntington government and parliament support the acquisition of the second by outsiders, as the second said? These must be prepared and planned in order to implement this Oxford United acquisition perfectly.
Jordan had just finished the financial speculation of the pound war, and began to implement the plan to buy Oxford United Club, like a spinning top, began to spin again for the second.
Ni had begun to be idle.
West Ham United, II did not go to sign. Oxford United spent more than half of the £300,000 deposit given by West Ham to bring in a goalkeeper, Paul. John. Reese. Now Oxford United does not dare to let II return to Oxford United to train, Brian. Horton had no money to pay back, so he could only swallow his anger and throw the black cauldron on the second.
Oxford United's results at this stage are not good, there are defeats and draws, that is, there is no victory. II is not yet the owner of the Oxford United team. When he saw the lunar eclipse, he thought that the tengu was eating the moon, so he could only run and howl on the ground with a broken gong and drum. In fact, it didn't make any sense, and II couldn't even get through the Oxford United training gates.
At this stage, the second had nothing to do except train himself, so he repeated the old trick and began the sheep shearing program.
In the 1994 European Qualifiers for the World Cup in the United States, which was in full swing in Europe, two million pounds were spent on the bets that England and France would not qualify.
II now has money and experience, but does not dare to invest huge sums of money. The main first one is the fear that huge fortune will change the outcome of that team's game. The second, just two million pounds, is not a pity to fail, and if it succeeds, then each of them is forty or fifty million income. Third, I still want to continue to do this business, not to destroy the bookmaker's fortune plan, just like raising sheep, every time less wool, do not freeze the sheep to death, and each time less shearing, it is beneficial to the health of the sheep.
II was idle to gamble, and Jordan was busy with the newly formed acquisition team. However, after more than half a month, I finally basically figured out the fundamentals of the Oxford United club.
Oxford United Club is typically a loser. There is no money in the team's account, even the 500,000 sold at the beginning of the year has been spent, and the club still has more than 10 million pounds in debt, including the second salary and the purchase deposit for West Ham United.
All the shares of the Oxford United team are concentrated in the hands of the English biomass recycling company, and the club has eliminated many employees for more than a year, and the remaining employees are basically one person with one salary and one salary. Financially, Oxford United have been frugal to the extreme.
The contracts of the club's players were still signed from 1989 to 1991, and there is no idea of giving players a salary increase. Horton has some opinions, Horton's contract is expiring, but there is no sign of a renewal.
The English biomass recycling company is determined to sell Oxford United, and as long as the price is right, there is no problem with the takeover.
Jordan suggested whether to wait a little longer and wait for Oxford United to enter the relegation zone before starting to buy Oxford United, so that the purchase price would definitely be much cheaper.
The second rejected the proposal, and one of the core values of the first club is the shell of the club itself, which is the English Football League club license, which is a scarce resource that is better to be able to take over in League One than in League Two. The second core asset is the team's players, and now the club buys and sells players between clubs, not a completely free player transfer model, and there is no transfer time limit for players to enter, so it is necessary to start the acquisition plan as soon as possible and take over the club as soon as possible to stabilize the team's hearts.
Jordan drove the black Brookland sedan as a gift, one of the two Bentley luxury cars ordered by the second himself, and took negotiators and lawyers to the headquarters of the English Biomass Recycling Company to formally negotiate the acquisition of Oxford United Club.
Although the English biomass recycling company has decided to sell the Oxford United club and abandon the hot potato that has been in charge for more than a year, the asking price is not low, asking for 350,000 pounds.
This is a quote that is significantly much higher than the market price.
Jordan did not make a counteroffer, but motioned to the lawyer to take out some copies of the materials from the briefcase and hand them to the negotiators of the recycling company. The relevant personnel of the biomass recycling company circulated it, and their faces did not change. The fact that the suspect is the buyer of the goods, and the fact that the other party can obtain these materials from the archives and government departments shows that the other party has the sincerity to make the purchase.
The negotiators of the Dragon Investment Company finally spoke: "If your company is able to complete the change of the nature of the land use of the estate course, the Dragon Investment Company is willing to accept the offer of the biomass recovery company. ”
In a word, it easily defeated the self-deceptive offer of the biomass company. As a last resort, Oxford United is a veteran team in the English First Division and has the potential to impact the Premier League, and the resources of the teams in the English League are limited and there are many buyers.
Negotiators from the "Dragon" investment company analyzed the current situation of Oxford United's team, the team may be relegated, and even if the relegation is successful, the team's players are a year older and less valuable.
Take 10,000 steps back, if Oxford United has succeeded in attacking the Super League in the past two years, in the face of the English government's "Taylor" newspaper in the stadium problem, in terms of the situation of the Oxford United Manor Stadium, it will not be recognized by the English Premier League and the FA. In other words, even if Oxford United can be promoted to the Premier League in terms of results, but the hardware conditions are not met, it will not appear in the Premier League. Oxford United, then, have to invest a lot of money in stadium construction to achieve their goal of promotion, and the investment value of such a team situation is a point less.
If Oxford United succeeds in relegation this year, all clubs in League One are now investing frantically to enter the Premier League and enjoy the Premier League dividends. Oxford United has no capital injection, no new sponsors to sponsor, no good players to join, so how to maintain Oxford United's status in League One? Oxford United, who have no hope, is having a hard time keeping their existing players, so Oxford United cannot make an offer as a League One team.
After several battles, the biomass recycling company did not let go of 250,000 pounds.
According to the assessment of a professional appraisal company, the value of the club is around 15 million.
According to II, twenty million is also acceptable.
As a professional manager, Jordan didn't want to and couldn't waste the boss's money, so Jordan spoke at this time: "According to the appraisal of a professional appraisal agency, the value of the club does not exceed fifteen million, and according to your company's purchase price in 1991, your company is still profitable." With Oxford United's current team results not ideal, we need to see if there are any signs of a rebound. Under the premise that Oxford United can be relegated, we now put forward two requirements, hoping that the company will maintain the stability of the team, and can no longer sell players in exchange for funds to ensure the safety of assets. If your company fails to meet these two requirements, we unilaterally declare the negotiation broken. If a team is relegated to the second division before we buy it, then there is no possibility that we will buy it. So on behalf of our company's shareholders, I wish the next negotiation a success! ”
After speaking, the three of them packed up the negotiation materials, got into a black Bentley Brooklands car worth more than 300,000 pounds, and drove away.
Oxford's hot potato is still in the English Biomass Recycling Company. They have no way to negotiate with them, and although League One is a scarce resource, clubs will be promoted and relegated. If it is relegated to the second division, it is that Oxford United is now insolvent and cannot sell a million pounds. Now it's impossible to sell players, and the representative of the "beginning" investment company directly blocked the situation.
This is what the second asked Jordan to say, there is no transfer period system yet, and the fire sale of players can be carried out at any time, for fear that the biomass recycling company will jump over the wall in a hurry, sell out the team players, and then get cash and declare bankruptcy, even if the second does not have to spend a penny to take over Oxford United at that time, it will be a mess.
Now the club has the final say on buying and selling players, and when the time comes, where will the second buy one or twenty players, the stars in the memory of later generations are either old or small, and they may not be able to use them when they are bought. If you buy some unknown players, you may buy back a bunch of high-paid and low-energy players, and the second must also entrust the head coach of the team to be the master, which invisibly gives the head coach the right, which is seriously inconsistent with the second team's construction plan.
And if you pay a lot of money to buy players, other clubs may not be willing to sell you? If you give players high wages, raise transfer fees, force purchases, and disrupt the order of football, you will not be killed if you are a newcomer who has just entered the football world, and you have no connections. You don't see the unjust money that Abu spent in later generations, and the players had the final say in the free transfer era when Abu bought the player.
In this era, if you force you to buy, well, the transfer fee will go to the pocket of the opposing club, and the player will not get any benefit, even if the salary is doubled, that is it. It's not like later generations, on the surface, the transfer fee was given to the club, but the signing fee, the agent tossed back and forth to collect black money, as well as the willingness of sponsors, salary subsidies, don't you see that part of Ronaldo's salary is provided by Nike? The sponsor says you move to a certain club, how much salary do you give you, and you can still not go? These huge gray income funds are all in the pockets of players, and a transfer can be worth a year or two of salary income if the operation is good.
In this era, the players you signed back at a high price, when the whole football world boycotts you, others dare to blackfoot your players, and they can't be punished, plus the players are forced to work and don't work, so don't hang yourself and go back again.
So the second has to guard against this hand, if this situation really happens, then you really can't buy Oxford United, so it's better to buy Manchester United at a high price?
This time, Jordan pinched it, and the initiative in the negotiation returned.
