Chapter 0410: Celebration Banquet

Sharapova's performance on the court this year is indeed phenomenal.

Sharapova rose to fame early, eight years ago, at Wimbledon in 2004, when she won her first career Grand Slam title at the age of 17 and has since become famous. A year later, on August 22, 2005, she topped the WTA rankings for the first time with a score of 4452.00, which established her status as a tennis star.

However, just when people had great hopes for this extremely beautiful tennis girl, Sharapova was very unstable in the next few years. Although she won the US Open and Australian Open twice during this period, most of the time, her performance was disappointing.

Especially in the past four years, after the 2008 Australian Open, and until the start of this year's Australian Open, Sharapova's performance on the tennis court is even more promising. Many people believe that Sharapova has fallen, and since then there has been an extra vase in world tennis, and everyone thinks that Sharapova has really become Kournikova's second.

However, at this time, Sharapova began to fight back. In the first half of this year, she participated in a total of 14 tennis tournaments, but she swept away 12 championships like crazy. In the past six months, she has reached a terrible 78-2, and the two games she has lost have been in less important general tour tournaments.

What is such an excellent table, what is it that is not phenomenal?

For such a very important tournament as the four Grand Slams, there will be a celebration banquet at the end. At this celebration banquet, the most eye-catching. Of course, it is the men's and women's singles champions of this event. Especially Sharapova, who is almost invincible this year, has received almost everyone's attention.

The celebration was held in a luxurious restaurant in London.

Those who attended this celebration feast. In addition to the players, there are many other people. For example, players' families, agents, friends, etc.

Louisa came dressed up in fancy clothes, and she and Sharapova suddenly became the focus of the celebration banquet.

And Yang Peiqi also appeared at this celebration banquet, and he was much more low-key. He saw that Luisa pulled Sharapova to the windowsill as soon as she came, and the two of them didn't know what they were muttering, Yang Peiqi understood, and it is estimated that Luisa was also talking to Sharapova about Yang Peiqi's acquisition of Manchester United.

Before the Wimbledon semi-finals, Yang received news from Potanen that the Glazer family had agreed to meet with him. After accompanying Sharapova to the semifinals, Yang Peiqi met with representatives of the Glazer family. There was a preliminary exchange of views, but the two sides were not able to reach an agreement because of the large price gap between the two sides. The Glazer family insisted on $3 billion to sell United, and that $3 billion did not include United's debts. But Yang insisted that he was only willing to pay $2.5 billion, and that included Manchester United's $700 million debt.

In other words, the price gap between the two sides is as high as $1.2 billion.

With such a huge gap, the first meeting between the two sides did not achieve any results.

Of course, this is all expected from each other, so. Neither side closed the door to negotiations.

However, Yang Peiqi believes that he will definitely be able to win Manchester United, and the price paid is not too high. Because he already knew that the Glazer family was really in trouble, and their original plan to make money from Manchester United's listing and financing. It's not enough.

Moreover, the offer given by Yang Peiqi. It's already very kind. The value of Manchester United is now estimated at around $2 billion by major financial institutions. The offer he gave exceeded this valuation by a full 500 million, that is, an increase of 25 percent. This is the general premium acquisition market.

As for the asking price offered by the Glazer family, it was just a lion's mouth. They wanted to make a lot of money with Manchester United before they left.

As for the Glazer family's plans, Yang Peiqi naturally will not be unclear, let alone fooled. Although he is not short of money now, he will not be the wronged leader. Now, it's the Glazer family who can't afford it, not him. Anyway, the Glazer family has been sucking blood on Manchester United for more than seven years, and they don't care about another year and a half.

After the first negotiation with the Glazer family, Yang Peiqi began to raise funds intensively. He wants to take Manchester United as soon as the Glazer family has to back down.

Yang Peiqi does not plan to draw too much capital from Explorer Mining, which is now in a stage of rapid expansion and has a tight cash flow. Therefore, he intends to raise funds through other means.

And the way Yang Peiqi chose was very simple, that is, to auction diamonds, which he really has too much now.

And Yang Peiqi's chosen auction partner is naturally Sotheby's auction house, and they have cooperated with each other before, and the cooperation is relatively smooth. In addition, Sotheby's is also a leader in the auction house, and its strength is second to none, and by their auction, Yang Peiqi can maximize its benefits.

Sotheby's was very excited after receiving Yang Peiqi's call. They told Yang that just this month, there was a large auction house organized by Sotheby's in London, and it was just one or two finale items that were enough to carry it.

Yang Peiqi knows why Sotheby's auction house organizes a large-scale auction at this time, because the London Olympics are about to open, and the eyes of the world are focused here, and the world's richest people are also gathered here, which is naturally an excellent opportunity to auction luxury goods.

Just when Yang Peiqi was thinking about things, Sharapova came over with a smile and a glass of champagne, tonight's Sharapova was wearing a well-fitting light yellow evening dress, looking graceful and delicate, Yang Peiqi raised the wine glass in her hand to her, and the two bumped together with a "ding".

Sharapova took a sip of champagne and said to Yang Peiqi: "Yang, listen to Luisa, your acquisition of Manchester United is at an impasse? ”

Yang Peiqi smiled and said indifferently: "Maria, this is a normal thing, this is a big acquisition involving more than two billion dollars. How is it possible to succeed all at once? ”

After the two chatted for a few words, Yang Peiqi changed the topic. "Maria, the London Olympics are about to begin." How's your preparation? ”

Sharapova's performance on the court this year is indeed phenomenal.

Sharapova rose to fame early, eight years ago, at Wimbledon in 2004, when she won her first career Grand Slam title at the age of 17 and has since become famous.
