Chapter 4 Now We Have Money

By the time he returned to Nottingham, David had gone from a poor man to a billionaire with a huge sum of £120 million, and of course, he was the least popular bettor of all bookmakers.

However, this is only a means for David to earn his first pot of gold, and he can say goodbye to this activity that does not have many challenges for him in the future.

By the time David returned home, the radical fans had long since dispersed, replaced by a reporter with a camera on his shoulder.

"My friend, don't tell me you're waiting for me when you're standing here in the scorching sun?" David looked surprised, for he was familiar with him.

Kevin White, a sports reporter for the Nottingham Evening News and a Notts County fan, has dealt with David many times because of his professional relationship.

White's expression looked lost, even with disappointment and a little bit of despair in the loss.

"You've been in a lot of trouble with the mortgage of your team to the bank, why do you still look like you don't care, is this what you're telling all the Notts County fans?" Without saying a word, he followed David into his house, and after sitting on the sofa, White got up violently and said to David with a slightly hideous expression.

David is well aware that this is a deep expression of love and hatred of a die-hard fan, and at this moment, White is not a journalist, but a Notts County fan, and he represents the appeal of all Notts County fans.

"When you took over as chairman two years ago, you were so high-spirited, I thought you were the King Arthur who could lead Notts County to glory, but look at you now, do you still have a little bit of enterprising? Have you given up? Planning to sell the club and squander your life? Seeing that David did not respond to his questioning, White seemed more and more excited, and even looked a little extreme.

As he said, another newspaper in the Nottingham area, the Nottingham Post, which has a clear tendency between the two rival clubs, has given a series of reports on David's mortgage of the Notts County Club in the past few days, most of which are ridicule, and one of the articles is even in a gloating tone speculating that the young brother of Little Pavis has retreated bravely in the face of the frustration of running the team, intending to cash out and squander it, as for the life and death of the team, no one cares at all. Notts County, a club with a long history, is destined to become the laughing stock of the whole of England.

David tossed White a can of beer and sat down on the couch with a relaxed expression, as if no one was roaring at all.

"I never said I would give up the club, do you believe this kind of speculation?"

"But you still mortgaged the club to the bank, how do you make everyone believe you?" Maybe it was David's indifference that calmed White's mood a little, but his tone was still full of doubt.

David frowned slightly, facing doubts and criticism, but he couldn't be angry, because he knew that it was all because of the loyal love of these fans for the club.

Regardless of the results, what he did really made everyone sad.

After looking down and thinking about it, David explained firmly: "The reason why I mortgaged the team to the bank is because I am optimistic about a short-term investment, and if it can be successful, then the team will not have to worry about financial problems in the next few seasons." ”

"You're kidding the future of the club!" White's expression became fierce, like a devouring tiger.

"But I succeeded!" David shrugged and smiled.

"Then you can't-wait! You say you succeeded? He yelled at David by habit, but in the middle of speaking, White braked the car violently, and screamed in disbelief.

David stretched out his index finger, shook it in front of White's eyes, and replied proudly: "That's right, I succeeded, and now I have 100 million pounds in my hand, think about it, if I put this money into the club, what will become of the club?" ”

This time, it was White's turn to think about life, and the look of shock on his face seemed to destroy all the muscles of his face.

100 million pounds?

What is this concept? Especially for a third-tier club like Notts County.

Or you can refer to some other data for comparison.

The Notts County Club's official assessed assets are £1,500w, and £100 million could buy nearly seven Notts counties.

The white wizard Veron, who is about to complete the transfer to Manchester United, should have a transfer fee of about 2800w pounds, and 100 million pounds can buy three Veron with surplus, of course, a star of Veron's level cannot be bought just with money.

Arsenal's budget for the stadium is only £150 million, which is a modern stadium with a capacity of 60,000 fans, which is definitely one of the best in England.

Of course, the stadium cost almost £400 million to complete, but that was already around the time of the 06/07 season.

It can be seen from this that at this time, 100 million pounds has strong purchasing power.

Sent away Mr. Reporter, who was still in a mess and did not come to his senses, David knew that when his investment was successful, after the huge injection of money into the club was known by the fans through the media, all the troubles would be solved, and he would still be the child who could dedicate everything to the team in the eyes of the fans, yes, the child of Notts County.

He could have imagined that the news would be even more joyful for the fans who believe in the team than it would be for Christmas.

And for the Nottingham fans next door, I'm afraid this is not good news, a few days ago, David's behavior has become a pastime for the fans of the sworn enemy, unscrupulous ridicule and falling into the well, but in the blink of an eye, things have reversed in an unexpected direction for them.

What about going to the abyss?

How did you become rich overnight?

100 million pounds?

Nima is enough to buy a few Nottinghams!

They wanted this huge amount of money to go to their club, so that Nottingham could regain its former glory, the era of continental dominance.

David can also imagine what the Notts County fans and Nottingham fans would talk about when they met.

Nottingham fans: "We have a top-flight title!" ”

Notts County fans: "Count the balls, now we have the money!" ”

Nottingham fans: "We have two Champions League titles!" ”

Notts County fans: "Count the balls, now we have the money!" ”

Nottingham fans: "We're in League One, you're just in League Two!" ”

Notts County fans: "Count the balls, now we have the money!" ”

Nottingham fans: "...... Can you say something else? ”

Notts County fans: "Well, our Notts County history is longer than your Nottingham!" ”

Nottingham fans: "......"

Yes, Notts County does have a longer history than Nottingham
