"Manchester United!" Richard? Wilkins was lost in thought, his right hand tapping on the table. Although I expected it for a long time, it is one thing to guess, and it is another thing to face it.

For Manchester United, Richard? Wilkins is still a little emotional, although he is not a serious Manchester United fan, but his parents are, so naturally it has an influence. What's more, after being at the helm of Manchester United for so many years, even a quick stone will have a little emotion.

"Mr. Richard, rest assured, as long as you agree, I will definitely increase my investment to make Manchester United a real giant as soon as possible!" Zhao Chen didn't know where this was the best moment for perversion, although this sentence was no different from nonsense, but at this time, it was enough to affect the tilt of the scales.

Sure enough, Richard? Wilkins's glasses lit up, and he believed Zhao Chen's words, because Zhao Chen belonged to a rich man who was obviously not bad for money. While big investment doesn't necessarily take a football team to the top, if the money is strong enough to make a big deal out of it, the biggest example of which is Chelsea's ruble.

The total assets of Abu who bought Chelsea in later generations were even inferior to Zhao Chen, and coupled with the inflation for so many years, the wealth between the two is still a lot worse. What's more, there is no so-called Bosman Act, even world-class players are worth millions of dollars, and superstars like Platini, Maradona and Zico are at most tens of millions of dollars, which cannot be compared to later generations. Just like the Premier League in the 21st century, a club can't buy a few players with $30 million, and the overall strength can't be improved. There is also the danger of a decline.

And now, 30 million US dollars is enough to pack the above three masters, and at present, Platini is worth more than 10 million US dollars, and the transfer fees of Maradona and Zico, who have not yet become the hands of God, have not reached 10 million US dollars, of course, if they want them to transfer, they must agree with the other club.

Manchester United at the moment is really still attractive in League One. After all, no matter how you say it, you want to belong to a number of strong teams. But the appeal to top players in other leagues has undoubtedly dropped a notch, as the Red Devils have not won the League One title for nearly two decades, and the Champions League is even more zero, so the appeal to top players can be imagined.

In this day and age, most players value honor more than money. It is undoubtedly difficult to attract top players in a short period of time.

Zhao Chen is not a fan of the Red Devils Manchester United. On the contrary, he prefers a small factory, but Arsenal is too clumsy, so he does not have so much energy to build a big stadium, and it will take at least two or three years for a large stadium to be built, which is enough time for him to bring a team to the top.

Although he doesn't know much about football, he has memories in his head, and he still knows some of the world-famous players in the future, not to mention that it won't be long before Manchester United's golden generation grows up. When the time comes, the combination of the two, coupled with Sir Alex Ferguson's tactical strength and strong financial support. It's very difficult for United not to be on top of the world.

Of course, he will not make the decision of Real Madrid to pay attention to the striker but not to the backfield, even if the striker can score again, but if the rear is not strong, no matter how powerful the forward combination will be pitted. Just look at how gorgeous the Galaxy Battleship front line of Real Madrid was in the future, but that's it, the honor won in a few years is very small.

"What Mr. Zhao Chen said is true?"

"Naturally, take it seriously!"

"I would like to ask you how much additional investment you will make in the first year if you succeed in buying Manchester United?"

Richard? Wilkins only asked about the first year, but not about the after. Because he knows that once acquired, the first year is the most important, just like a person often has to lay the foundation. As for later. It can only be decided on a case-by-case basis.

Zhao Chen thought about it and said a let Richard? Wilkins was dumbfounded for the amount.

"50 million dollars!"

Is it more than 50 million dollars? In the current football world, there are a lot, very much, enough to transform a third-rate team into a top team, of course, this is only talking about the lineup, as for how much combat effectiveness can be exerted, only the wisdom of the benevolent and the wise will see. Who knows what kind of catalytic effect will occur during this period.

In fact, let alone 50 million US dollars a year, the current top giants such as Real Madrid and Juventus have a maximum transfer fee of more than 20 million a year, which is still used to buy superstars in the world.

Richard? Although Wilkins is also considered a rich man, it is still unknown whether his total assets can reach hundreds of millions, let alone cash. Although both belong to the plutocrats. But the gap between them is several notches worse.

"I want to hear Mr. Zhao Chen's plan for this fund?"

Richard? Wilkins was shocked and calm, he had lived decades in the end, and his life experience was enough to give him a wealth of experience and mind.

"Manchester United's current squad is already top in the Premier League, but there are some positions where the quality of the players is not at the top level, and I plan to use 20 million of them to fill the squad and try to win the First Division title in the first year! As for the remaining 30 million, I am ready to invest in youth training to increase the facilities and talent pool of youth training! ”

In this era, foreign players can be said to be comparable to pandas, and because there is no Bosman Act yet, youth training can be said to be quite important, and many teams are self-sufficient because of this. At present, the best in the youth academy is undoubtedly Ajax in the Eredivisie!

In later generations, Ajax was known as the world's No. 1 attribute processing factory, and it has cultivated countless high-quality stars, including John? Cruyff, Marco? Van Basten and so on. It's a pity that when Ajax was about to create a dynasty, the Bosman Act appeared, which directly led to Ajax being killed, and a large number of stars and even future superstars were forcibly taken away by other clubs, and the dynasty that was about to be established completely collapsed. The reason is not that Ajax is not strong, you must know that Ajax is a real European giant at this time, the main reason is very simple, Ajax's Eredivisie is not as competitive as the five major European leagues, and its players naturally yearn to go to the five major leagues. Therefore, after the binding force of the Bosman Act club has dropped significantly, many players have left Ajax, of course, there are always more or less European giants and strong teams behind them.

"You're a good idea, I thought you were going to buy a bunch of world-class players, but it didn't happen to me. It is true that youth training is more important for a club, but it takes a long period to produce results. The way you allocate your money will not only strengthen your team, but also gain a future. ”

Andrew? Wilkins lifted the good glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, and looked at Zhao Chen's eyes with appreciation, as an old man, he naturally didn't like the kind of person who only looked at immediate interests and did not focus on the future, even if it was a big man like Zhao Chen.

However, he didn't expect Zhao Chen to be in a high position, but he could still maintain a normal heart, but it was also quite valuable, which also made him feel that Zhao Chen's success was not accidental, but inevitable.

If Zhao Chen knew Richard? Wilkins's thoughts, I don't know if they will be funny, he mainly relies on future memories and knowledge from the future, not like Richard? That's what Wilkins thought.

"What do you think, Mr. Richard?"

"Your answer satisfies me, I can agree to sell my shares in Manchester United, I have 60% of Manchester United shares, and the price will have to be negotiated."

Richard? Wilkins finally agreed, in addition to his own lack of funds, in addition to the need for Manchester United to develop better.

"It's easy to talk about the price!"

Subsequently, the two sides fell into bargaining, and finally Zhao Chen won Richard for 50 million US dollars? A stake in Wilkins' hands.

This price is simply the price of cabbage compared to Manchester United twenty or thirty years later, you must know that the total value of Manchester United after thirty years is more than three billion US dollars, and I don't know how many times it has increased during this period.

Of course, the main reason is very simple, in addition to the inflation of the era and the huge gap in the value of players, the most important thing is that Manchester United is not a European giant, it can only be regarded as a strong team, especially now the European Champions Cup, which has the greatest interests, can only be participated by the champion of the first division, and Manchester United has not participated in the Champions Cup for nearly 20 years, and the interests are naturally far less than the great achievements of the Champions League every year in later generations.

After the completion of the deal between the two, the two sides reached an agreement again, and this agreement can be called mutual help. Richard? Wilkins is willing to help Zhao Chen buy the shares in the hands of the remaining shareholders of Manchester United, and Zhao Chen is helping Richard? Wilkins has gained a foothold in Hong Kong Real Estate. (To be continued......)
