Bob came very quickly, received a call from Cui Zhengyuan, and flew to London at noon the next day.

Anyway, Zhang Tianxiang also knew his relationship with Green Olive Investment Company, so Cui Zhengyuan generously introduced Bob to the other party.

After listening to Cui Zhengyuan and Zhang Tianxiang's successive statements, Bob was silent.

Seeing his hesitation, Cui Zhengyuan couldn't help asking, "Bob, don't you agree with our acquisition of Manchester United?" ”

Bob has a German style of rigor, and he is conscientious and responsible. I don't have any scruples in the face of the boss, so I say bluntly, "Yes, I disagree." Despite Manchester United's reputation, the Premier League's finances have always been poor. It may be able to create a lot of value every year, but the cost is not low. Maybe after you buy it, you have to put a lot of money back into it every year. ”

What Bob said, Zhang Tianxiang didn't know much, but Cui Zhengyuan couldn't be too clear.

The five major European leagues, except for the Bundesliga, are basically operating at a loss. In other words, if there is no owner behind it, the club will not be able to play at all.

Seeing that Cui Zhengyuan also nodded in agreement with his statement, Bob said: "So, I can't figure out what the benefits of you want to buy Manchester United." ”

Speaking of this question, Cui Zhengyuan and Zhang Tianxiang looked at each other and smiled. Zuihou explained Bob's confusion by Cui Zhengyuan, "Bob, you have overlooked a very important question. A club like Manchester United brings not only money, but also achievements in terms of influence and accolades, which we value. Otherwise, what about Weishenme's purchase of Chelsea last year? He doesn't know that the football club loses money? Of course he knew, but what was the result? Is he already in London now? ”

Zhang Tianxiang added: "You should know that both China and South Korea are weak in football. If the investment group we represent can buy Manchester United, it will also be a big stimulus for the football industry in our country. ”

Hearing him say this, Cui Zhengyuan also stared.

Going around and around, perhaps this is the fundamental purpose of the Orchid Group to buy Manchester United. It should be said. This time, they came out on behalf of the official will.

This kind of behavior, Bob naturally understands.

Now that he has made it clear what the boss means, he knows what to do, so he will no longer dissuade him. "How much money do you have for me?"

Cui Zhengyuan signed the power of attorney and said, "Orchid Group will provide three billion dollars, and I will provide one billion dollars." A total of four billion, I believe that it will definitely be able to make the Glazer family retreat. ”

Zhang Tianxiang on the side interjected: "If it's not enough, we will add it." You just have to be bold and say that we have only one goal, and that is to win Manchester United. Other. None of this is a problem. ”

Bob's heart trembled for a moment, and he looked at the stupid and bold Zhang Tianxiang incredulously.

It wasn't until he sent off the representative of the Orchid Group that Bob asked curiously: "Boss, who is this Chinese?" I haven't heard of his name, has the Shijie wealth ranking changed? ”

Cui Zhengyuan took a sip of tea comfortably and looked at Bob with squinted eyes. "What do you know, the Chinese pay attention to wealth and do not show it. There are many rich people in China who never reveal their net worth. Like the one just now, I can only describe it in one word. ”

"What word?" It's in the nature of Germans to be studious. So Bob asked.

Cui Zhengyuan shook his head and smelled the fragrance of tea, and said calmly: "Local tyrant! You can be friends with him more in the future. ”

If this acquisition was Orchid Group's own business, Zhang Tianxiang would never have been so arrogant. But with the government behind it, that's a different story.

That's the biggest tyrant on this shijie. Money can crush everyone to death.

After Zhang Tianxiang finished speaking, Bob began to ponder the use of four billion dollars. "With so much money, the Glazers are certainly no match for us. Rest assured, boss, you can take Manchester United smoothly. ”

Choi Jung-won shook his finger. It looks like a candle flame. "No, no, no, Bob, you're thinking things too simply."

So long working together. Bob also admired Choi Jung-won's talent in terms of vision. "Then ask for advice."

"Compared to the Glazer family, we should be said to be at a disadvantage at this time. We have a lot of money, but Edwards doesn't know it. And he's been in contact with the Glazer family for some time. What deal has been made behind it, we don't know. If there is already a certain cognitive basis between the two parties, Edwards may not change the partner for some benefit for the sake of stability. ”

Bob nodded in agreement.

In the mall, it's not that money really works.

Sometimes, for credit, stability and other reasons, some people would rather get a little less benefit and cooperate with customers who are already stable.

Although they have more money in their hands than the Glazer family, it is not so much that they have an absolute advantage. You must know that in the previous life, the Glazer family won Manchester United, but it cost more than a billion pounds.

If this is calculated, there will definitely be some leftover in their hands.

In this way, the funds of both sides can be regarded as half a catty. Even if Zhang Tianxiang can mobilize more funds to come over, the allocation of large amounts of funds is very troublesome, and it is far from being solved in a moment.

Over time, who knows what will happen in between?

"Then we can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven?" Bob didn't like to do things he wasn't sure about, and asked with some wistfulness.

Cui Zhengyuan still looked indifferent, "No, what you don't like, I don't like either." ”

"So what do we do?" The matter in front of him is tricky, and Bob doesn't have Yaxing who plays dumb riddles with Cui Zhengyuan.

Cui Zhengyuan slowly put down the teacup and pointed: "Everything has a key crux, as long as we find this key and unravel it." ”

Bob rubbed his head and asked angrily, "So what's the key to this?" ”

"Alone."

"Who?"

"Alex. Ferguson. ”

"Jazz?" Bob's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Cui Zhengyuan meant.

Like Choi Jung-won, he is also a fan. In addition to being a die-hard fan of Borussia Dortmund in his own country, he has also dabbled in football in other countries.

After studying it for so long, he certainly understands what Ferguson means to Manchester United.

Don't look at Edwards as the owner of Manchester United, but in the affairs of the club, no matter how big or small, he almost has to ask the old gentleman for advice.

Choi Jung-won's meaning is also obvious, that is, if you want to win the competition for Manchester United, then you must have the support of Ferguson.

As long as the old lord makes a public statement, then even Edwards will not dare to risk the world's condemnation.

"Bob, help me meet Sir Jir. Tomorrow after the rehearsal, I'm going to meet him. With my incorruptible tongue, I persuaded Sir to support us. Cui Zhengyuan smiled and picked up the teacup again, and gave his subordinates an imminent task.

Although Bob and Ferguson have no intersection, there are more than 180 ways for a well-traveled person like them to get in touch with Ferguson.

"I'm curious, boss, why do you think your three-inch incorruptible tongue is more powerful than the Glazer family?" Bob was not optimistic, and asked in a deliberately contrarian tone.

"Again, I understand football, the Glazer family doesn't." Cui Zhengyuan didn't worry at all, stretched his waist greatly, and said his reliance.

What is Ferguson's primary concern?

Who is Manchester United's new owner? No kidding, what does that have to do with him. Even if the boss changes, will anyone dare to fire him?

His main concern is definitely Manchester United's results.

Ever since Abu moved into Stamford Bridge, the old man has felt endless pressure.

Originally, he was already very tired from the fight with Arsene Wenger, and was undefeated by Wenger last year. Coupled with the fact that the old powerhouse Liverpool makes trouble from time to time, the old man's life is not easy.

Now there is another predator, wielding a golden weapon to dig people everywhere.

Now that even the CEO of Manchester United has been pried away, if the old man still doesn't feel the crisis, he will be in the Premier League for so many years.

How to rebuild Manchester United after the 92 golden generation has become the most important task of the old man at present.

So, he doesn't care who the boss is replaced with.

He only cares about how much the new owner can give him a transfer fee and whether he can bring him the players he likes.

The Glazers can't do that, because they don't understand. And they are glamorous on the surface, and after buying Manchester United, they are shy in their pockets.

Not to mention helping Ferguson buy people, it's not bad if he didn't rely on selling players to fill the holes.

But Cui Zhengyuan is different, he has a lot of gold dollars in his hands. And after Orchid Group buys Manchester United, it will definitely build vigorously to show the superiority of Chinese capital, so there is no need to worry about investment at all.

In this way, having a knowledgeable helmsman like Cui Zhengyuan and adding bricks to Ferguson's team will definitely make the old man's heart flutter.

Bob's efficiency was fast, and the next night in a secluded café, Cui Zhengyuan met the old gentleman as he wished.

It's not just the old man who is here, but the new Manchester United CEO David Brown. Jill also came together.

"To introduce myself, I'm David Brown, the CEO of Manchester United. Jill. Forgive me for being uninvited, but as the operator of Manchester United, I'd love to hear what new ideas people have for it who are interested in it. "Jill is a very talkative person, and as soon as they meet, he gushes about his position.

The two most influential people on Manchester United came together, and Choi Jung-won was even happier. "It's okay, I wanted to wait until the concert was over to talk to Mr. Jill. Today is the right time, everyone is here, and we can talk freely in person. (To be continued......)
