Chapter 906: Murdoch is coming
Chelsea comfortably beat youth side Notts County at Stamford Bridge to qualify for the next round of the FA Cup, but even Klinsmann himself did not know whether they lost or gained. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The media and fans didn't expect Notts County to give up the FA Cup game so simply, they thought Notts County would play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge!
But it's okay, it's always the same routine, everyone is aesthetically tired, so everyone can still have a little freshness.
Notts County's surprise made Chelsea passive all of a sudden, the Blues played one more game than Notts County in a dense schedule, even if the consumption was less, but it was real, Notts County took a step back, but dug a hole for Chelsea.
Knowing that it was a pit, Klinsmann had to jump down, no way, Chelsea didn't want to lose to Notts County, and this was the most fundamental reason.

Just after the FA Cup game, when David was going to fly to Australia to accompany Kerr, an uninvited guest came to Notts County, if it was an ordinary person, David would not pay attention to it at all, but this uninvited guest, David had to pay attention, because he was the world media tycoon Murdoch.
David didn't know what Murdoch was coming to, and he didn't expect him to visit Notts County and want to meet with him, but David vaguely knew his true purpose.
Manchester United was bought by the Glazer family, but a few seasons ago, there was a pioneer who wanted to buy Manchester United, but unfortunately it was rejected, and it was precisely because his acquisition tore a hole that the Glazer acquisition went so smoothly.
The first to eat the crab may not succeed, and Murdoch is caught in the crab pincers, but the experience is left to the Glazer, and then the corners of the Glazer mouth are oily.
Maybe Murdoch isn't a football-loving person, but owning Manchester United can have a more profound impact on his industry, so why not buy it?
After the British government rejected the takeover proposal, Murdoch has not reached out into football again, but that does not mean that he will be content to be silent.
David felt that this time Murdoch was not good, he must have come for Notts County!
I met this world-renowned rich man in his office, but the so-called momentum and aura are just the feeling of the director, and the old man in front of him is more like an ordinary old man, quiet and kind, but David knows that if he underestimates him because of this, he is afraid that he will swallow him to the point that there is no scum left.
"Mr. Murdoch, welcome to Notts County!" David first extended his hand to Murdoch.
Whatever Murdoch's purpose for coming, at least he was an old man, and David couldn't be too rude.
Of course, when shaking hands, David still stared at his face with interest and looked at it carefully, as for what David thought in his heart, no one knew.
In fact, David wondered why Murdoch's Chinese daughter-in-law didn't come with him......
'I was blown away by Notts County FC, even more than I had at the time, you are a really good club president!' Murdoch praised David with a little deep meaning.
In fact, if you simply compare the value of wealth, David is not necessarily inferior to Murdoch, David's investment team in the United States The return on investment in the American capital market is simply amazing, David is not the richest man in the world, but his wealth growth rate is absolutely the best in the world.
At the level of Murdoch, he naturally knows how much David is worth, and he does not regard David as an ordinary club president, but a business tycoon of the same status as himself, but Murdoch invests in media entities, while David speculates in the capital market.
Too many pleasantries were actually just for outsiders to see, and when there was no one else in the office, David and Murdoch smiled at each other and made it to the couch.
"Seeing Notts County's performance in world football, I regret not insisting on buying Manchester United at that time, look at Manchester United now being made like this by the Glazer family, you know, the Glazer family is not even a third-rate small family in the United States!" Murdoch still looks a little resentful when he mentions the past.
David shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, the Glazer is certainly not a good thing, but if Manchester United does get into Murdoch's hands, it may not end well, and it is really difficult to say how much a person who doesn't like football can give.
"Football is the world's number one sport, with unparalleled influence in the world, and the Premier League is the hottest league, to have a Premier League giant, will be of great help to the layout of any industry!" Murdoch seemed to be talking to himself, so that David didn't know how to speak, and he didn't want to make excuses.
"Actually, this time, I want to talk to you about Notts County Club, I want to buy Notts County Club as a wholly owned company, and I am willing to pay $3 billion for this!" Murdoch saw David's impatience and spoke tentatively.
Sure enough, the comer was not good, and David did not expect it wrong!
But how could David possibly sell Notts County?
Obviously, Murdoch got the wrong idea!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Murdoch, I'm not going to sell the club and let you down, since you think the Premier League is the hottest league in the world, then you can buy another club and make it a European giant, which can also help you complete the industrial layout, and start from scratch, isn't it more fulfilling?" David refused, and in order to dissuade Murdoch, he gave Murdoch a suggestion, although it was not very good.
Murdoch frowned and didn't speak immediately.
Judging from Murdoch's previous mergers and acquisitions, it is his habit to quickly complete the industrial layout, and it seems to be a waste of time to develop from scratch, and he can't afford to waste it, the key problem is that he doesn't like football so much, so David's proposal is unlikely to impress him at all.
"Notts County is currently valued at around $3 billion, but we all know very well that this valuation doesn't actually represent the true value of Notts County, so I was able to buy Notts County at this price, which is already a big deal, and I don't think there are many people other than me who can come up with this money!" Murdoch still wanted to persuade David a little more to achieve his own ends.
"Mr. Murdoch, you should know very well that I am not short of money, 3 billion is actually not fundamentally different from a coin in my eyes, I am different from you, you are at the helm of your media empire, that is your business, and my business is Notts County, do you understand what I mean?" David still coldly rejected Murdoch. (To be continued.) )
