"Mom"

Chen Xi used the video screen to talk today, and he was more nervous to connect the phone at home.

She knew her husband's character, though she was still a little unaccustomed to being called that. He is stubborn and smart, but Ward hardly asks anyone, and he is used to solving problems alone. This time, after nearly half a month of running abroad and at home, for the survival of the club, Hydward still opened this mouth.

"Yo, Sissy, are you willing to call home?" The video was cached for a while, and Lord Zhang began to tease his baby daughter as always.

Zhang Jingru is turning on the TV in the living room, and tomorrow's work schedule is still on the coffee table.

The Chen family is not an ordinary family, Chen Xi's mother is a shareholder and executive of a well-known Internet company in China, and she is not particularly busy. When I was young, I was a beautiful woman with outstanding demeanor, and now that I am old, I don't look old, but I have developed the habit of scolding my daughter every day. Chen Xi's father, Chen Sunwen, is the vice president of the local first hospital, who has opened a knife for a lifetime and taught countless apprentices, which can be regarded as a peach and plum all over the world.

Chen Xi did not follow the path of the news media, but became interested in his father's scalpel.

"Where's Dad? Slept? ”

Spanning more than half the world, the country will be 8 hours faster than England. It's just morning in London, and night has fallen on the other side.

"There was a large consultation in the hospital, but I didn't get home," Zhang Jingchu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Xi felt that this smile was full of deep meaning, and his heart was a little uneasy, swallowed his saliva, and said stubbornly: "Mom, do you know a famous sports reporter?" It's better to know a little bit about finance. ”

"Huh? Sports journalist? Zhang Jingru was a little confused by her daughter's question, "When did you care about sports?" ”

'Well, I know the manager of a local football club in Portsmouth and his club has been in some trouble lately, I thought...

As Chen Xi spoke, his mother's expression on the other side became a little abnormal, "Football? How could you be interested in this stuff too? Your dad loved this stuff when he was young, and he didn't lose a single game for the national team. ”

"Oh, no, Mom, don't take the topic away." Chen Xi lied to the boss adult, this is nature and ability, if there is a problem that can't be solved, then do it again.

"I just heard what you said about the manager? What does it look like? Handsome or not? It must have a unique temperament, I know a guy named Mourinho, and I especially want to buy a set of coats for your father, it's so handsome! ”

Chen Xi suddenly admired her mother's knowledge, she actually knew Mourinho! However, in Hydward's words, the magic bird belongs to Bi Fenggong, and it is killed by men, women, and children. But I still have to sigh that the boss is worthy of engaging in the Internet, not those backward old men and old ladies can be compared.

But when it comes to Mourinho's coat, there is a little story, which was during the Chelsea period, when the Barcelona female fans mocked the Magic Bird for wearing only one dress to direct the game all winter, he solemnly gave an explanation, "This dress is the coat that my wife brought back to me when she went to Italy for the first time, it was his salary for a month, I have to cherish it." ”

Ward is somewhat of the same type as the Magic Bird, and they both have a very precious sense of affection.

After a lot of hard work, the crooked building was finally repaired, and Chen Xi took out a piece of paper and told his mother in detail about the predicament faced by the club and the solution that Hydward came up with.

Zhang Jingru looked at it carefully for a moment, pondered for a while, pursed her lips and said: "Hey, why waste that effort, these companies in England owe too much debt, is it okay to drizzle 25 million euros?" I'll find Uncle Lin for you, he also likes football, ask him if he would like to invest. ”

Chen Xileng her head, shaking like a rattle, her instincts telling her that Hydward wouldn't like it. Portsmouth FC can now be counted as his personal belongings, from players to scouts to club staff, all of which he has accumulated bit by bit, and with the injection of new capital, it may all disappear. When football ceased to be a dream and a toy for the rich, there was no need for Hydward to exist. He will only hope to solve the problem by his own means and let the fans have the absolute say in the team as much as possible.

Zhang Jingru stared at her daughter suspiciously, did not speak, and continued to study the posted plan.

………………

It's not complicated, and she has had success in many fields, but it's the first time in football, which she is not good at.

Hydward's solution to funding is simple, called crowdfunding, and through the Internet, he will use open equity subscriptions to ask for help from the whole city of Portsmouth and the world.

If you're a football fan, if you know Portsmouth, a once-brilliant team that is on the verge of relegation to the second division due to financial problems, the people here are not giving up, they are now five points clear of the relegation zone, but if they are penalized for financial reasons, they have a good chance of being relegated in the second half of the season.

15 euros per share, which is converted into about 120 yuan.

Portsmouth FC will collect some of the fees through the transfer and update it on the Internet, so that the rest of the money will need to be paid by interested fans around the world until 25 million euros are collected. Of course, what is really needed is not so much as 25 million, and after deducting some bonus sponsorship, you can pay an extra part, and the real need is about 20 million euros.

Converting debt into shares is not new in Europe's top five leagues in the next few years, including Leicester City, which is known for the myth of the Blue Fox, and has gone the same way, except that the fans have been replaced by Thai owner Vichai.

When this news was sent to Chen Xi's mother, it had already been announced on the official website of Portsmouth, because of the "fake coach" incident, Sky Sports reporter Glero, who was familiar with Hydeward, published this information in his column for the first time, and personally subscribed for 100 shares to express his support. 100 shares is 1,500 euros, more than 10,000 yuan, Glero's usual pick-and-mouth guy, rare and generous.

In addition to Glero, the players who have played for Portsmouth also want to help their old clubs to varying degrees. Glen Johnson, the right wing-back who now plays for the Premier League giants Liverpool, not only paid money, but also told the media that he was willing to go back on loan for free to help the team relegate if his old club needed it. Of course, there are also strikers who have already made a name for themselves in England, and the high-ranking ----- Peter Crouch has expressed the same wish, but they are just talking, and the club cannot let them go.

In just one day, Portsmouth collected nearly 2.4 million euros in remittances, and Hydward's move can be described as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, but it is still far from the more than 20 million.

The rest will depend on how the overseas market works, maybe 25 million is really simple.
