Leicester City Club, nicknamed the Blue Foxes, is a club located in Leicestershire, 180 km northwest of London, England, in the same large area as Nottingham Forest, called the East Midlands.

Although Leicester City was founded very early, in 1884, its history is lackluster.

Apart from three League Cup titles, Leicester City have not won enough honours such as top-flight titles, FA Cup titles, let alone European honours.

The team has long been in the lower leagues, having only been promoted as top of the Championship last season and will play in the Premier League this season.

This is a Premier League promoted polo team with no sense of existence.

Before Leicester City announced that Lu Wenbin would be attending their press conference on July 22, no one had linked the world's number one superstar, Forbes China's richest man, Lu Wenbin, with Leicester City.

Everyone has thought about Manchester City and Chelsea, as well as Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and other giants, and even other strong teams such as Tottenham, Newcastle, and Everton, but no one has really thought that Lu Wenbin will be linked with promoted Malecester City.

Undoubtedly, the current Leicester City fans are the most enviable, jealous and hateful, and the happiest.

Then, all the fan organizations began to unite and make banners, slogans, and flags welcoming Lu Wenbin.

Families of fans living in Leicester City have bought Chinese flags to hang outside their windows to create a grand occasion to welcome Lu Wenbin.

Leicester City does not have the Eiffel Tower, nor does it have the Theatre of Dreams at the Bernabeu, so they can only spend more time on banners, slogans, flags, etc., to show their adoration and welcome to Lu Wenbin.

……

As time went by, there were more and more five-star red flags and Chinese banners in Leicester City, and countless fans of Lu Wenbin rushed to Fox City from all over the country to witness Lu Wenbin join Leicester City.

On the morning of July 22, the press conference hall of Leicester City Club was crowded, and the media from all over the world could not be crowded at all, and many people could only stand in the aisles, by the wall, or squatting under the press desk.

As a perennial team in the lower leagues, Leicester City's press room is not big.

The press conference was attended by media and journalists from dozens of countries around the world. There are almost 100 photographers, photographers and journalists in the UK and China combined.

Outside the press conference hall was a crowd of tens of thousands of Leicester City local fans and Lu Wenbin's fans.

Everyone waved the five-star red flag with slogans and banners of support, worship and love for Lu Wenbin, and hoped to hear the news of Lu Wenbin's joining Leicester City.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the press conference officially began.

After introducing the history of Leicester City, the press officer of Leicester City announced that he had invited Leicester City chairman and Thai Chinese owner Vichai, vice chairman and Vichai's son Xu Shengyuan, team manager and head coach Nigel Pearson, superstar Lu Wenbin, as well as Lu Wenbin's agent Mendes, private lawyer and others to appear.

The moment Lu Wenbin appeared, the entire press conference hall was illuminated by the reporters' flashlights, and Vichai and Pearson, who had never seen so many reporters, were almost dazzled.

British reporters even applauded excitedly and warmly welcomed Lu Wenbin to the Premier League.

Lu Wenbin is the topic, Lu Wenbin is the news, and Lu Wenbin is the guarantee of newspaper sales!

Of course, everyone also expressed doubts about why Lu Wenbin appeared with a private lawyer.

However, when Leicester City announced what was then announced at the press conference, everyone understood why the lawyer was there, and everyone was stunned.

Leicester City announced that Chairman Vichai sold a 30% stake to 666 Investment Company, which is wholly owned by Lu Wenbin, for a symbolic price of 1 euro, making Lu Wenbin the second shareholder of Leicester City after him.

At the same time, Lu Wenbin will also join Leicester City as a free transfer, with an annual salary of 30 million euros, a five-year contract, and a liquidated fee of 500 million euros.

This liquidated damages is a guarantee for Vichai, and the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning.

Because of UEFA restrictions, Lu Wenbin cannot play in other clubs in Europe after he takes a stake in Leicester City.

In other continents, whether it is Asia, Africa, the Americas, or Oceania, it is impossible for any team to pay 500 million euros in liquidated damages to take away Lu Wenbin.

In fact, if there are no surprises, Lu Wenbin is more likely to play at Leicester City until he retires.

At the same time, according to the agreement between Lu Wenbin and Vichai, a 30% stake is not the end of the road.

In the future, Lu Wenbin led Leicester City to win the Premier League championship, the equity increased by 3%, the Champions League won the championship, the equity increased by 6%, and the annual seven crowns including the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup, Champions League, Community Shield, European Super Cup, and Club World Cup increased by 10%.

The additional equity is obtained free of charge according to the conditions.

In other words, as long as Lu Wenbin helps Leicester City complete the great cause of seven crowns, he can get 49% of the shares for only 1 euro, becoming the second largest shareholder after Vichai.

In the future, Lu Wenbin will share 49% of all movable and real estate and commercial income in Leicester City.

This is the reason why Leicester City was able to impress Lu Wenbin and sign with Lu Wenbin.

It's not how satisfied Lu Wenbin is with Leicester City, but that other giant teams can't reach Lu Wenbin's psychological bottom line.

The owners and shareholders of other teams in the Premier League are very reluctant to Lu Wenbin's shareholding, and there is still some deep-rooted discrimination against Lu Wenbin's yellow race and Chinese identity.

No matter how famous and powerful Lu Wenbin is, they just want Lu Wenbin to work for them, and they don't want Lu Wenbin to be on an equal footing with them and share their business income with shareholders.

Even if someone agrees to Lu Wenbin's shareholding, the shares are very small, which does not mean much to Lu Wenbin.

Only Leicester City, as a promoted horse, has an extremely urgent need for relegation and championships, and does not have the pride of any giants, and hopes that Lu Wenbin will join with 10,000% of his eagerness.

Moreover, as a Thai Chinese boss whose ancestral home is Fujian and has half Chinese ancestry, Vichai has a super sense of identity with Lu Wenbin, a Chinese superstar.

Both Vichai himself and his son Xu Shengyuan are fluent in Chinese, and Lu Wenbin was very cordial about this when he met the two men privately.

Wichai and Xu Shengyuan's ambition is to use the Premier League's platform to launch their own corporate brand, and the other is to help train Thai and Chinese players, and Leicester City's youth system is ready to tilt towards Thai and Chinese players.

The club has sincerity, the shares are given more, the boss is half a compatriot, Lu Wenbin himself must conquer the Premier League, complete the club's main task, etc., all of which have become the decisive factors for Lu Wenbin to join Leicester City.
