Chapter 330: Decision (Large Chapter Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Fang Jue thought for a while.
"Actually, I'm more inclined to ......"
Fang Jue frowned, picked up the thick stack of materials prepared by Miss Papa, and looked through them gently, on some of the more important data and information, Miss Papa marked them with pens of different colors.
Then, Fang Jue directly tore off the page with his own names of Birmingham, Crystal Palace, Charlton Athletic and Nottingham Forest, and crumpled it into a ball.
"Papa, well, my decision is that this time...... Listen to you. Fang Jue looked at Papa, a smile on his face.
Then he saw Miss Papa stunned, then surprised, and finally surprised.
"Don't force it." Miss Papa's eyelashes flickered, "Did you change your mind because you saw that I had prepared this information very well and hard?" ”
"Yes." Fang Jue nodded, then shook his head again, "It's not either." ”
Seeing Miss Papa's puzzled expression, Fang Jue put his hands on the girl's shoulders and looked at her, "I'm busy and dizzy, the perfume is confused." ”
Miss Papa uses different perfumes at different times of the day, such as morning, afternoon and night, and these perfumes are also specially customized, so even in the dark house where the curtains are closed, Fang Jue doesn't need to look at his watch, as long as he smells the perfume on Papa's body, he knows the approximate time.
"Ah, I really used the wrong perfume." Miss Papa exclaimed, sniffing her white arm, "No, I'm going to take a shower and ...... again"
"No, it's the best perfume I've ever smelled."
Fang Jue now lives in an apartment in average conditions, but Miss Papa doesn't mind at all, but even in a 'poor' living environment, Papa has always allowed herself to live a very delicate life, what cosmetics to use, what perfume, what time period to use, this has been integrated into her living habits.
Fang Jue had previously sighed that the money he earned in a month was not enough for Miss Papa to just have a bottle of cosmetics.
Anyway, in Fang Jue's impression, the delicate Papa has always been so beautiful, delicate, and calm, and it is hard to imagine that it will happen to Papa when he uses the wrong perfume.
And now, if it weren't for Fang Jue's reminder, Miss Papa wouldn't even realize that she had used the wrong perfume, which would be unimaginable for a girl like Papa, who was born in a family.
Obviously, Miss Papa's attention was all on the material, and as you can imagine, Miss Papa had done her homework and had a lot of ideas and suggestions.
Such a girl should be cherished.
Moreover, Fang Jue also had to admit that in such a big matter as acquiring a club, Miss Papa was a professional.
So, this time Fang Jue didn't insist on anything, he decided to listen to Papa.
Fang Jue's words were like the most beautiful love words, the two of them were emotional, and they were busy for a long time, and then Miss Papa finally took a bath and sprayed perfume again.
……
"Fulham, don't think about it." Miss Papa was heroic, leaving Fulham out of the way in the first place.
"Why?" Fang Jue was puzzled, since Fulham was on the list, why was it excluded as soon as it came up.
"I know it's going to be difficult to persuade you to buy a Premier League team, so I'm bringing in Fulham, who are weaker in every way."
Fang Jue nodded, it is true, if according to his previous thoughts, and after being persuaded by Miss Papa, he finally considered buying a Premier League team, between West Ham United, Aston Villa and Fulham, Fulham is indeed worse than the first two, and the price will be relatively cheaper, he will give preference to Fulham, well, after all, this is also a London team.
"West Ham United." Miss Papa nodded, "First of all, this is a London team, and West Ham have a great history and a good fan base, which is an advantage. ”
'The problem, though, is that the current owners of West Ham have no intention of selling the team. "Magnussen wants to hold the Premier League team for the long haul. ”
In 2006, the Icelandic consortium led by Magnussen officially acquired West Ham United as a whole, spending a total of 85 million pounds, Magnussen is the representative of this consortium, and he is also the president of the Icelandic Football Association, a member of the UEFA Executive Committee, and belongs to the powerful kind.
"Finally, it's Aston Villa."
"First of all, Aston Villa is in Birmingham City, the third in England in terms of economic power and population, and the city rival Birmingham City is still in the Championship, so Aston Villa has an advantage in this city now."
"Secondly, Aston Villa has a long history, a glorious time, and a lot of heritage."
"Also, Aston Villa are very popular with the English high society."
The 1888/1889 season began in the 1888/1889 season, and Aston Villa established their first dynasty, winning five league titles in the last seven seasons of the 19th century.
It can be said that in the ancient times of English professional football, Aston Villa was the real mainstay. The club's director (equivalent to today's general manager) William Brown. McGregor is unanimously regarded as the creator of the English professional league system and the first president of the league league, and Aston Villa's influence can be seen.
Aston Villa, who came from an aristocratic giant, has also been down, and even relegated to the third division for a time, but it is normal in English football, which is chaotic in the middle generation, even Manchester United and Liverpool have tasted the taste of relegation.
Aston Villa's ZTE even predates the Red Devils, reaching the top of Europe in 1982, becoming the fifth English club to lift the Champions League.
To date, Aston Villa have won seven English top-flight titles.
Cameron, the current leader of the British Conservative Party, is a fan of Aston Villa, and the chairman of the club when Aston Villa lifted the European Champions Cup trophy was Cameron's brother-in-law.
And now Prince William of the British royal family is also a fan of the famous Aston Villa.
"Finally, Aston Villa have a good record in recent seasons, the overall strength of the team is good, and if we buy it, the foundation is good."
"So, I'm leaning towards buying Aston Villa."
"It's a big city, it's a long history, it's a good fan base, it's a good team as a whole, and the team is very popular and influential in the UK." Miss Papa stroked the ends of her hair and smiled.
……
Fang Jue applauded, and he gave Papa a thumbs up.
Listening to Miss Papa's analysis, Fang Jue is now almost convinced:
Big cities and a good fan base mean that there are a lot of leeks.
The fans of such a team miss the glory of their ancestors, the more they are wide, the more deeply dissatisfied with the status quo, and then when you lead the team to rebuild the glory, the greater the popularity and support.
A team that is liked by the British high society, which means a lot of influence, and it means different from controlling such a team than controlling an ordinary team.
As for Aston Villa's overall strength now and a good foundation, this can indeed save time for its rise.
Fang Jue now also feels that Aston Villa is a very good acquisition target.
However, here's the problem.
"Papa, Aston Villa can be regarded as a very high-quality asset, it will definitely be held for a long time, and the owner of such a club will not sell it." Fang Jue asked.
The current owner of Aston Villa is American Randy. Lerner, who bought Aston Villa in its entirety for £66 million in the summer of 2006, freed Aston Villa from the Premier League's famous 'stingy' owner Ellis, and was even regarded as the team's savior by Aston Villa fans, looking forward to Aston Villa's spring.
When Lerner bought the team, Aston Villa was 16th in the Premier League, almost relegated, the American owner Lerner is indeed very passionate about the sports industry, he used to control the American football team, and after winning Aston Villa, Lerner also hopes to make a difference, in the 2006/2007 season Aston Villa only ranked 11th in the Premier League, brought in Martin. O'Neill is in charge, and Aston Villa finished sixth in the Premier League last season, which can be said to be quite good.
In Fang Jue's opinion, such a team and such a boss really have no reason to sell the team now.
"No, unless Aston Villa can finish in the top four of the Premier League in the new season, Randy. Lerner will not refuse to sell the team. "Miss Papa gives Fang Jue a lesson.
In the 2006/2007 season, Aston Villa finished 11th in the Premier League.
In the 2007/2008 season, Aston Villa finished sixth in the Premier League.
The new season will be Lerner's third since he bought Aston Villa, and when the American boss won the team, the plan was to finish in the top four of the Premier League and qualify for the European Cup within three years.
"In the Premier League, it's all about financial strength. Only the best four teams can attract more attention, more money and a bigger market, and Champions League qualification is an obvious hurdle to cross, which means high returns, great market appeal and player appeal. There is not much difference in nature from fifth to seventeenth, just a difference in income of millions of pounds. Miss Papa spoke eloquently. [See PS2]
"Aston Villa can only be considered the middle class of the Premier League until they can successfully break into the top four of the Premier League, and the middle class team lives in a constant and pervasive competitive crisis: you can't keep your best players, Aston Villa loses stars every year, and to build a team that can compete with the top four teams and keep stars, you have to promise higher wages to recruit players, I have a statistic here, in the last two seasons, The reason why Aston Villa's salary expense to revenue ratio is close to 80%; In this case, the solution to the problem is to make a breakthrough in results, reach the Champions League, and get a lot of broadcast dividends from the Champions League, while Aston Villa's poor results, to be exact, if they fail to finish in the top four of the league for the third consecutive season, Lerner's financial pressure will explode. ”
Fang Jue listened, and there was a feeling that Aston Villa, which seemed to be in a good situation, had a tight financial chain, high salaries, and a crisis within the team, and was about to end at any time.
Then, Fang Jue stroked his palm and quipped, "Papa, you are so powerful, hearing you say this, I really thought that Randy. Lerner had to sell the team. ”
'As long as Aston Villa doesn't finish in the top four, he's going to have to sell the team.' Miss Papa said.
However, the information shows that Randy. Lerner is still relatively rich, Aston Villa did not achieve their goals this season, and can continue to work hard next season, he should be able to support the winner. Fang Jue recalled the information that Miss Papa had compiled.
"Randy. Some of Lerner's funds are now trapped in Lehman Brothers. "At the moment, the situation is not good, he is likely to lose a lot of money, and he is now under pressure to repay a large amount of the loan." ”
"Understood." Fang Jue nodded, "The condition for us to have the opportunity to acquire Aston Villa is that Aston Villa does not finish in the top four of the league, and at the same time, Randy. Lerner's chain of funds continues to compress. ”
Fang Jue was thinking, there was nothing he could do about the capital chain, he and Papa were not Lerner's creditors, the only thing he could count on was that Aston Villa's results were not ideal, Fang Jue was wondering if he could contribute to this and help the anxious Lerner get rid of it as soon as possible......
Lerner: Σ(°△°|||) ︴。
Miss Papa opened her sexy mouth, as if to say something, but closed it again.
……
"Last question, how much does it cost to buy Aston Villa?" Fang Jue groaned.
The amount of money needed to buy a Premier League team is quite huge, you must know that the Yankees spent 66 million pounds when they bought Aston Villa, and now, Aston Villa's strength and ranking have improved, and the Yankees must make a fortune before they are willing to quit.
Imagine the amount of money needed to buy Aston Villa, Fang Jue felt that it was a big head.
At that time, he sold his shares in Ibiza, and together with Miss Papa's 'pocket money', it added up to nearly 100 million euros.
Then, Miss Papa said, "I get about three million euros a month in my pocket money (rent)." ”
It's- that's it.
In the end, Fang Jue and Miss Papa reached a consensus, first, the two of them jointly invested in the establishment of a company, Fang Jue invested in the technology, and then borrowed from Miss Papa, accounting for 55% of the shares, and Miss Papa contributed 45% of the shares.
Well, in fact, Fang Jue has not paid a penny now, and he directly accounts for 55% of the shares.
Fang Jue felt embarrassed, although he knew that this was equivalent to flying with Miss Papa, but Papa didn't know, this affection made Fang Jue very moved.
"Your dreams, I'll guard them." When Papa said this, Fang Jue was even more moved, and he couldn't repay it, and repaid Miss Papa enthusiastically.
It's just that after the heat, there was a burst of emptiness, and Fang Jue suddenly felt a little ashamed: Himself, is this counted, finally, or, with his ability, to eat soft rice?
He shook his head violently, how could it be, this is a mutual relationship, she appreciates his talent, he falls in love with her understanding, it has nothing to do with sacrificing hue, it has nothing to do with money, it's just love, besides, with the money lost by his wife, there is no need to distinguish between the two of them.
Fang Jue glanced at the sleeping Papa, and gently caught the rabbit's eyes, this woman, he wanted to cherish.
PS1: Guaranteed two-in-one chapter, thank you very much for the tips of [Tangmen Spring and Autumn] and [JimWest]. Ask for a monthly pass, thank you brothers.
PS2: Before the FA made the reform of broadcasting shares, bonuses and other dividends according to rankings, and the Premier League signed a new agreement with a total of 5.5 billion broadcast fees in a few years, except for the top four teams, excluding the factor of selling players to make money, the income gap of other teams in the Premier League is not large.
