Chapter 236: The Fat Man Who Doesn't Know How to Ball (3rd [Herakles] Alliance Leader Plus Change)

As a top executive at EA, Peter. Moore is accustomed to big scenes and has experienced many high-level negotiations, but his negotiation skills and methods are now useless.

In fact, in this renewal negotiation, the player is in the driver's seat.

For a star like Jiang Chenxi, there are too many giants who are willing to wave a checkbook to invite.

Ronaldo, Messi, Jiang Chenxi, the top stars are now recognized as these three, who doesn't want it?

This is also the reason why Real Madrid and Barcelona have to give Ronaldo and Messi a salary increase every one or two years to renew their contracts, don't talk about the loyalty of players to the club, money is the only way to retain top stars, just look at Ronaldo and Messi's salary increases and the number of contract renewals over the years.

"Jiang Chenxi is willing to make sacrifices for the financial interests of the team, however, Liverpool should also show respect and sincerity for the players!" Lu Wushuang continued.

Peter. Moles:......

……

No consensus was reached at the talks, and the two sides temporarily ended the round of talks.

However, it cannot be said that it is ineffective.

The players have been honest about their demands!

After Lu Wushuang led the negotiation team away, Peter. Moore pondered in his office.

It seems that what the other party said is right, Jiang Suo is not too much to ask for the top salary of the Premier League, which is much less than the salary of Messi and Ronaldo. Moore also has to admit that compared with Real Madrid and Barcelona, Liverpool's stage is indeed a little smaller.

Peter. Moore patted the table in annoyance, how could he have such an idea? They were all brainwashed by that woman.

But, deep down, Mr. Liverpool's CEO has to admit that he is right......

At the same time, he had to think about today's talks, the implicit meaning behind the words of the other party:

Did Real Madrid make a move?

It's suspicious.

Do you really want to give Jiang Chenxi the treatment of surpassing Rooney's Premier League top salary?

It's not up to him to call the shots, he has to report to the president and the boss of the club.

……

The chairman of the Liverpool club is Tom. Werner, the owner of the team is John. Henry, two American partners.

To be exact, both men own shares in Liverpool, however, Thierry Henry has the most shares and is the big boss of the team.

Liverpool boss John. Henry was a math genius from an early age, but after entering the University of California, Riverside, the young Henry dropped out of school early due to his addiction to rock and roll, and was unable to further in his studies.

In American financial circles, "dropping out" is really not a derogatory term, and like Bill Gates, Henry quickly applied his genius to the right field after dropping out: after taking over his father's 1,000-acre soybean farm, Henry quickly demonstrated his talent for futures trading, and his company slowly became the largest commodity brokerage in the United States.

Henry was a die-hard baseball fan from an early age, so he sought to fulfill his youthful dreams as soon as he reached the peak of his life: after trying to invest in MLB's New York Yankees and then the Florida Marlins, he finally bought the Boston Red Sox for $144 million in 2001 and quickly became the largest shareholder of the Red Sox.

After taking over the Red Sox, Henry made drastic changes: expanding the field, signing top players and executives, and reforming the way television was broadcast...... Soon, the Boston Red Sox won the MLB championship twice in 2004 and 2007. The Red Sox hold the record for the longest full game in MLB and have one of the highest average away spectators in the league.

……

Henry then set his sights on a field of football that he was unfamiliar with, and in 2010 Henry-owned Fenway Group bought Liverpool Football Club, which was in the trough at the time, for $477 million. Before the takeover of Liverpool, American Thierry Henry knew almost nothing about football and the Premier League, coupled with the historical poor image of the American owner in the UK, the British media at the time unanimously sang the praises of the foreigner.

England pointed out at the time that the nouveau riche Thierry Henry's net worth was only 1.1 billion pounds, far less than Tottenham owner Lewis and Manchester United's Glazer family, not to mention financial tycoons Abu and Mansour. And at that time, Liverpool had just sent away two American "liar bosses" Gillette + Hicks, and there was a distrust of Americans in Britain (Manchester United's Glazer family reputation was not much better). In the public opinion environment at that time, the strange Henry was just a "fat man who didn't know how to play" to the British.

When he first took over Liverpool, Henry basically confirmed the name of "fat man who doesn't know how to play": he successively hired Hodgson, Dalglish, and Rodgers to coach, and took a lot of detours.

However, last year he hired European champion coach Jurgen. Klopp coached, and then agreed to sell Suarez to Barcelona for 81 million euros, and then introduced Jiang Chenxi for the first price in the history of the Premier League for 82.5 million euros, and then this season, under the leadership of Klopp and Jiang Chenxi, Liverpool made great progress in the league, and the League Cup reached the semi-finals only to regret the exit, the FA Cup has now reached the semi-finals, and the Champions League has reached the quarterfinals, and now, Liverpool fans' impression of the American owner has changed greatly.

Now, the English media treat John. Henry and Tom. Werner's attitude is much better than it was five years ago, and at least the two Americans are not as unreliable as they thought they were at the beginning.

However, given that the Fenway Group is not a top financier, the English media remains on the fence about Liverpool's prospects.

……

Los Angeles.

In a garden mansion, Liverpool owner John Brown. Thierry Henry has just finished with the club's president Tom Henry who is far away in Liverpool. Werner and the club's chief executive, Peter Werner. Moore's conference call.

"Honey, got a problem?" A beautiful woman asked by gently pressing old Henry's head.

She is Henry's wife, Linda, and there is a 30-year difference between the two: Henry is 66 years old this year, while Linda is only 36 years old. It looks like a standard "rich man's characteristic marriage".

But the young Linda is not just a vase, she has a master's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and she helps her husband manage his assets while also wearing many hats: television producer, social activist...... More importantly, Linda is a loyal Liverpool fan, according to the British media "The Independent", Liverpool diehard Linda has been encouraging and urging her husband to buy Liverpool. Open Linda. Henry's social accounts are full of information related to Liverpool.

It can be said that in many decisions about Liverpool, Linda, as the woman behind Henry, has a very high voice.

"Liverpool's side of things." John. Henry said, "The club and Jiang have had difficulties in negotiating a contract extension. ”
