The reason why he came to the UK was that Zhao Chen completely wanted to fulfill the agreement with Knight and buy a football team in the first division of the five major leagues, which was the purpose of his coming to the UK.

As we all know, the top five leagues in Europe are currently Serie A, League One (there was no Premier League at that time), La Liga, Bundesliga and Ligue 1. Of course, since there is no Bosman Act yet, the competitiveness of the current Eredivisie and the strength of the top teams are not much worse than those of the five top leagues.

Among the five top leagues at present, Serie A is undoubtedly the most prestigious, and in a few years, it will be known as a small World Cup.

In the 1980~1981 season, the Italian Football Federation announced the reopening of the foreign player market, and each team could recruit two foreign players, so Serie A began to emerge and vaguely became the leader of the five top leagues, including in 1982, when Platini, who was the world's No. 1 player, transferred to Juventus, and Zico transferred to Udinese, Serie A undoubtedly became stronger.

However, as a person who has come over, Zhao Chen will not go to the troubled water of Serie A, everyone knows that the current era of Serie A is still dominated by the holy alliance composed of Milan and Juventus, that is to say, at least eight of the ten Serie A champions are blown by these two Serie A giants, just look at Inter Milan more than ten years later, obviously the lineup looks better, but it is stunned that it is not possible to get the Serie A championship, until the appearance of the telephone door is considered a relief, but unfortunately the Serie A at that time is no longer the leader.

In other words, the current Serie A water is very deep, even if Zhao Chen is very rich to invest in Serie A to buy various world-class players, but when the time comes, he is afraid that it will be useless, but even the referee can control it at will, no matter how good the player is, it is also the share of the yin, after all, people are the head snake.

So Serie A was the first to be abandoned, followed by La Liga. At present, the most famous teams in La Liga are naturally the rule of Real Madrid and Barcelona, but unfortunately these two teams are maintained by the government and ‖ government, and they belong to teams that money can't buy. As for the so-called third giants in La Liga, Atletico Madrid, and the strong team Valencia, Zhao Chen is a little disdainful.

In this era, players are generally cheaper, even the current popular godfather is worth more than 10 million dollars at most, and ordinary players who meet the standards of the first division can often win hundreds of thousands of dollars. And you can see it from the value of the players. Now even if the first-division giants die, they are not worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and they cannot be compared with future generations.

In addition to Serie A and La Liga, the next is undoubtedly English League One and Bundesliga, as for Ligue 1, to hell, as long as you are not a fool, the reason is clear.

Needless to say, the biggest giant in the English League is the Red Army Liverpool, but unfortunately even if there is a possibility of acquisition, Zhao Chen does not dare to ask for it, think about the Heysel tragedy next year and the Hillsborough tragedy in 1989, this pit is too big, Zhao Chen does not dare to jump into it. Because before and after these two major tragedies. The Red Army entered a period of decline.

Among the four giants of the Premier League in later generations, in addition to the Red Army Liverpool, which was cheated by two tragedies, there are also Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Among the remaining three giants, the current Chelsea is not even a strong team, as for Manchester United and Arsenal, they cannot be considered giants, and they can only be regarded as pseudo-giants at present. Especially Arsenal and Chelsea, even before Zhao Chen's rebirth, did not win the European Champions Cup, even in later generations, they cannot be regarded as real giants. Because the Champions Cup is the club's greatest honour. The gold content is undoubtedly better than the first division championship, and the Champions Cup is the biggest symbol of the giants.

As for the Bundesliga. The Bundesliga giant Munich can be eyed, and Zhao Chen, the other Bundesliga teams, really can't look at it, so his vision is limited to League One, and the target is Arsenal and Manchester United.

Of the two teams, Zhao Chen is undoubtedly more inclined to Manchester United, although Arsenal and Manchester United currently have similar historical results. But Manchester United already has Old Trafford, so Arsenal doesn't need to talk about it. For a team, the pitch can be said to be crucial.

Although Arsenal, which does not have a stadium, is located in London, there are many teams in London, and fans are naturally divided by many teams. Manchester United, on the other hand, is located in the city of Manchester. It may not be as good as London, but in any case it is also the second largest city in the United Kingdom, and the team that can compete is still in decline, Manchester City, which is obviously more abundant than Arsenal.

United have now won seven top-flight titles, but the last one was in 1966/67, when they won the FA Cup and Charity Shield last year.

Today, Manchester United is not listed, nor is it an individual, but a director system like some companies, which is the so-called shareholding system. Each of the directors owns some shares in Manchester United.

The biggest director of Manchester United is named Richard? Wilkins (I can't find it, I can only get one) is a wealthy man in Manchester who made his fortune in real estate in his early years.

The UK was the first country to levy property tax, and the same country has a proverb: a man's house, a man's castle. The moral is "A man's home is his castle!" ”

This shows how much importance the British attach to real estate.

But because of this, a few years ago, British real estate entered a low ebb, and Richard, who made a fortune in real estate? Wilkins, in the midst of the downturn of the local governor, has long been unable to make ends meet.

"Hello, old Mr. Richard, it's a pleasure to meet you!" In an English-style villa on the outskirts of Manchester, Zhao Chen met Richard? Wilkins, Richard? Wilkins looked to be about sixty years old, enough to be called an old gentleman.

"Where, Mr. Zhao Chen is really out-of-the-box!" Richard? Wilkins had a warm smile on his face, crumpling the wrinkles on his face to look like an old piece of bark.

"Mr. Zhao Chen, I have read the "2010: A Space Odyssey" written by you and Master Clarke, and I admire the views in it!"

"Where, where! Where can you compare to Mr. Richard, you are self-made, and you have this family business in just a few decades, which is really admirable! For this kind of flattery, Zhao Chen's ears are calloused, where would he care.

Richard? When Wilkins heard this, he couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh and said, "If other people say this, I really believe it, but Mr. Zhao Chen is not among them." Mr. Zhao Chen is not to mention that he is also self-made, and he has entered the Forbes rich list in just a few years, which is much better than me, an old man! Don't mention this again, or the old man will be ashamed of himself. ”

"Mr. Richard is so kind." Zhao Chen laughed a little embarrassed, he knew that he had photographed the live horse's legs this time.

"Mr. Zhao Chen, judging from the current trend, it seems that our British Empire has a tendency to compromise on the issue of Xiangjiang. In the past two years, the real estate in Hong Kong has fallen seriously, and I heard that you have purchased a large number of properties during this period, I wonder if this is serious? If it is true, then the profits in it are really incalculable. ”

Richard? Wilkins may have guessed the purpose of Zhao Chen's visit, but apparently he didn't immediately cut to the topic, but moved on to the property he was most concerned about.

"It is true, but the two sides have not yet signed a complete treaty, and everything can only be regarded as unknown. That's why my properties haven't appreciated much at the moment. ”

"Mr. Zhao Chen, you and I are both understanding people, I am afraid it will not take long for the two parties to lead the ‖ to sign the contract, the interests are current, and I have recently also had the intention of going to Xiangjiang to invest in real estate, but I still need Mr. Zhao Chen's help."

Richard? Wilkins Zhao Chen naturally understood what he said, to put it bluntly, although he was British, he had no acquaintances in Xiangjiang, and buying a large number of properties not only required a lot of money, but also needed the necessary connections, and he just lacked connections.

"Whatever Mr. Richard says, everyone helps each other! But I have one more thing to ask sir! ”

"Is it about Manchester United?"

For Richard? Wilkins guessed his intentions, and Zhao Chen was not surprised, as long as he was a normal person staying in Richard's position, it was not difficult to guess.

"That's true, I wonder what Mr. Richard thinks?" (To be continued......)
