For this idea, Meng Qian weighed his current economic strength: according to the operation of all industries in the first quarter and the last two months, things are very close to Wang Manwen's prediction, and he will have an income of 3 billion to 3.5 billion US dollars in half a year, which is very abundant.

If you want to transfer this money to your own name, you need to pay taxes, and the burden of 35% is very heavy, and investing in the name of the company can avoid this part of the link. That's why Mr. Wang advised him to invest more and keep only a small amount of cash – preferring to spend it rather than pay taxes.

Investing in sports is a good idea, or at least a way to preserve the value of your money.

After the race, he began to think about his goals. In accordance with the raising. He doesn't need a big team, he doesn't need a mid-stream level, he aims at the back, cheaper teams, and then combines George. Philbeck's suggestion that he is bullish on "Aston Villa".

Although Aston Villa is still fighting for "relegation" and is very miserable in the Premier League, it is one of the oldest clubs in the Premier League, and the giants of the year have also won the championship. The quality of the fan base is on the high side, both in the upper class and the royal family.

Villa's fan base in the UK is also strong, for example, Charles and Prince William are Villa fans, and they continue the rules of foreign fans: dad is a fan of which team, son will be a fan of that team, and grandson is the same...... Very interesting.

Villa's heritage and fan base can be tapped - as long as there are big money owners who are willing to spend money to participate in this Premier League money-burning sport. The current boss is picking on the door a little, so that the situation is getting worse. At the same time, it also led to the team owner being willing to sell the team.

All kinds of conditions are very in line with Meng Qian's requirements.

When visiting Buckingham Palace later and communicating with the royal family. Meng Qian also spoke to Prince William about football, who is a Villa fan himself, although his family likes Arsenal more...... After hearing Meng Qian's thoughts, he welcomed it: "It needs the opportunity to come back again, and it has no shortage of fans and heritage, but it lacks the most critical financial support in the Premier League." ”

That's said, but money is everything. Especially in the Premier League, don't think about winning the title without burning money. Isn't Chelsea a prime example? William knows very well that Meng Qian is a super-rich man. People who have too much money to spend can be lifted up as long as they are interested.

Even his hospitable attitude is more inclined to be a fan.

So Meng Qian decided to play a game. Let the world see the recovery of the giants. Throwing money at the foot of the wall, and then making people feel that the Premier League has completely become a platform for the rich to burn money against each other. What the rich like to do when they are bored - I am afraid that the newspapers will describe Meng Qian's decision today.

After saying goodbye and going back, Meng Qian organized a business team.

Both the Brotherhood and his group resources were available on this side, and the manpower was gathered in a short period of time, and Aston Villa's boss Randy was contacted. Lerner, this guy owns 90% of Vera, and it has been rumored before that a Chinese consortium wants to buy it. He made an offer of £150 million.

It's not clear how the rest will develop, anyway, it's over. Converted at today's exchange rates. £150 million is equivalent to $210 million, and Meng Qian, who has as much as $1.5 billion at his disposal, is not a problem, but he needs more, not just a 51% stake.

The purchase is intentional, and he wants to see how much the other party can give.

……

The news was also shaken out by insiders.

There are two areas of concern: the club itself; Super-rich Meng.

Aston Villa's "fan blood" is relatively pure, most of them are white, and there is a joke on the Internet that says: Looking at the giants of the Premier League, Manchester United and Manchester City are both workers' clubs, Liverpool is the world of dockers, Arsenal is an arsenal, and Villa has a good background.

Looking at the super-rich, Meng Qian has caused a sensation around the world since the last time someone broke the news that his family had at least $110 billion in assets - for a young man of 28, he has surpassed the richest man in the world.

The investments, lace and even gossip he made will be collected and paid attention to, because he has a certain percentage of admirers in countries all over the world. Among them, China has the most, and the United States, which is the stage of the development of the legend, has many fans, and there are also some in Europe.

He is now going to invest in a Premier League team, which is bound to be a topic of conversation.

It also succeeded in keeping the fans' eyes on Aston Villa. The decline of this former giant is regrettable, and now there are super-rich people who are more fierce than the Chelsea owners who have taken a fancy to it, which is absolutely unexpected, and just like Meng Qian's influence, there is a lot of discussion.

"The Super-Rich David. Meng intends to buy Aston Villa Club

The Rise of the Giants, the Next Chelsea? 》

and other English headlines, which continue to appear on the pages of newspapers, combined with the remaining popularity of Villa, Meng Qian's amazing news attraction, the news began to drift across the ocean, and even because of Meng Qian's charm, it also attracted more people interested in the club.

On his private chat group, the matter is also being discussed.

Meng Qian, who was bored and bored, and the woman was not by her side because of her return to China, flipped through the news, and said again after reading it: "Do you change your faith, everyone?" ”

"The richest man is shocked!"

"Capture the richest man alive!"

Meng Qian's appearance immediately made the group explode, and most of the members in the group were college classmates and some friends, and they were relatively familiar with each other, so they chatted casually.

"Pseudo-fans change their beliefs in minutes!" Sun Liangcai, a sworn friend, said.

"Send a few tickets to Villa Park and watch the game live, we are willing to change our faith." The old squad leader Gao Junjie also coaxed.

"Wait for news." Meng Qian chatted with them, "At present, the grasp is quite large. ”

"You're going to burn money in the future?"

"Funding is abundant." Meng Qian found an elegant explanation.

Sun Liangcai said: "Create a super luxury lineup, right? Gather the best players in one club, and then drag and cool the world! ”

"Haha, this one is still a bit difficult." Meng Qian smiled, he was willing to invest, but it didn't mean that he dared to play like this - there had to be a degree of interest.

After chatting in the group for a while, a group of fans were successfully converted, and the assistant also called at this time.

The good news was that Lerner was willing to sell 60% of the shares for $250 million, with the condition that Meng Qian would prepare at least £100 million to fund the club's operations, which would be used to buy players, and the previous owner could be regarded as fighting for the team's future.

But with or without him, it's the same, Meng Qian is destined to burn money.

The 60% stake he now holds cannot withstand his additional investment. As long as the other shareholders do not invest proportionally, their shares will sooner or later be diluted to 10 percent, or even 1 percent, which is more money than Meng Qian, and few people in the world can afford to play it.

The trading option took place in Birmingham.

As an industrial city in the United Kingdom, it has a large population, which also dooms Villa to probably have a larger audience, as long as they have the money to rise. Meng Qian visited the Villa Stadium, the scenery is good, and he plans to expand it again to increase the capacity to 50,000 people.

Or better yet, build a new stadium, built to the standards of a five-star stadium, which can accommodate more than 70,000 people, and kill other clubs for a single game...... Meng Qian's gaze first returned to the contract in front of him, and the lawyer had already explained the terms and conditions.

He signed his own name.

The two sides shook hands, announcing that Meng Qian became the new owner of Aston Villa, and then held a meeting after the change of owners, Meng Qian did not make major changes to the club for the time being, and the senior staff as always, he also said some words of encouragement, hope for the team, etc.

The specific rectification plan or team composition will be slowly dealt with in the follow-up, and at present, Meng Qian's large-scale efforts have successfully washed away the confusion of changing the boss, and a super rich boss has come, which both the club and the fans are looking forward to.

Outside the contracted hotel, a large group of reporters has gathered.

Meng Qian also prepared a temporary press conference on this matter. Because there are too many media, blocking the way...... He simply answered a few questions: "I have a comprehensive investment plan for the club, I am optimistic about my funds, and I hope that it can stand on a higher stage. ”

"As for the question of the club's personnel, of course, I hope to find the most suitable way, the strongest is not necessarily the best, the most suitable is what I want."

"For other issues, I hope that in the future, you can pay more attention to the growth of Vera, I believe it will bring a different and reborn appearance."

"That's it."

The bodyguard and assistant immediately understood the meaning: "Sorry! Everyone, get out of the way! ”

Meng Qian followed the path driven by the bodyguards and sat in the special car waiting at the door, leaving behind the sound of the camera clicking.

The next day's news elaborated more, the Chinese owner has successfully bought Aston Villa, and according to the club's shareholders, they will invest at least £100 million in the construction of the team - which is almost half of the club's value. After that, Meng Qian also depends on the team's performance.

Although they all knew that Meng Qian was very rich, before this news came out, people were still worried. Now I am finally relieved, and I am ready to spend 100 million pounds after signing, and if the team's performance satisfies him in the future, there are more investment plans. The club has clearly met Fuxing.

"With the rise of Vera, who can still stop Meng's money offensive?" ――Some fans commented that everyone knows Meng Qian's money-burning methods.

"I like this guy more and more, even though I don't know much about football!" -- Some came for others.

"Chinese sightseeing and fan groups came to congratulate!" -- Some people on Chinese forums also organized themselves and received tens of thousands of thumbs.

"Looking forward to the money-burning battles of the strong teams!" Some people can't hold it back, according to Meng Qian's style, it is very likely to cause a burning of money PK.

What is certain is that the Premier League is more lively now, the money-burning bosses are involved one by one, domestic sports channels have also begun to broadcast live events, the feast of fans has arrived, and more people have begun to like Villa - after all, it is invested by the Chinese boss, and there is more sense of substitution.
