139. First big news: Arsenal has been acquired
Hillingdon is a municipality of London outside Greater London, England, England, located in the westernmost part of Greater London, with a population of less than 300,000 and an area of 115.7 square kilometers. The population density is less than 2500/km, and it is typically sparsely populated.
London's Heathrow Airport is located in this area, and it seems that there is nothing to offer in the area other than the largest airport in the UK.
Even the Freeland Manor, which occupies a tenth of the area of Hillingdon, is not only unknown to the British, but also to many locals.
This mysterious manor, which almost no one knows, has been exposed today.
At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun hangs over a huge building, and the front door of this house in the classical Chinese style is bustling with activity. In a large open space in front, there are all kinds of luxury cars parked, as well as luxury buses, and the people who get out of the car are all very well-founded.
Accompanied by Shearer, Taylor looked around at his surroundings and sighed, "I've lived most of my life, and this is the first time I've been here." I've always heard that Freeland Manor existed hundreds of years ago, but it's a blank slate, and it's a mystery. ”
Shearer said curiously, "Does Arsène know the owner of this manor?" What's important to call so many people here? ”
Taylor smiled and said, "If you go in, you'll know." Tsk, you see, these people, the veterans of Arsenal, the brothers David and Prince William, as well as Greg and Martin, hey, this is not the newly appointed president of the German Football Association, Grindel? The president of the Italian Football Federation, Carlo, also came, as well as Spain's Angel. It's so lively! ”
Beckham was amazed at the large number of Chinese-style buildings as he walked, this house covers a large enough area. Walking inside, there are many tables and chairs. There are a lot of bowls, chopsticks, knives and forks on it, and it seems that some kind of banquet is going to be held.
Prince William on the side said in surprise: "Mommy and I have eaten here a few times. I didn't expect that after so many years, nothing has changed here. ”
Prince Harry said puzzled: "What does this manor have to do with Arsenal?" Why can they hold a launch event here? ”
Victoria took Xiaobei's arm and said: "This house is very Chinese-style, I don't think it's because of Arsenal, maybe it's because of dry." ”
As more and more people entered, the voices of surprise continued to fluctuate, many of whom were acquaintances, and everyone greeted each other, but asked why they were here. It's either flashing words or not knowing.
When the wine table was full of people, as the door slowly closed, a group of people came to the rostrum in front, led by the smiling Wenger, half a body behind, was a man with more than 100 black hair, suits and leather shoes, seeing this person appear, almost all the people at the wine table let out an exclamation.
's brow furrowed slightly. Glenn exclaimed, "David Dunn? How did he get here? ”
This man is none other than David Dunn, the former Arsenal vice-chairman, the FA vice-chairman, and Arsene Wenger who single-handedly created Arsenal's golden eight years.
It can be said that Arsenal can have today. The former vice-president of Arsenal owes a lot of credit to him by bringing in Arsene Wenger, who was not well-known at the time. During his tenure, he won title after title for Arsenal. Under his rule, Arsenal were the only team that could compete with Premier League giants Manchester United.
At this time he was here with Arsene Wenger. It makes people very interested.
And the one who appeared later was Qiansheng and his agent Raiola, and the appearance of the two caused a commotion.
After the group took their seats on the rostrum, the audience fell silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on them, wondering why they were specially called here after the game, and it couldn't be as simple as having dinner.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." A man with a Chinese face who didn't know anyone smiled into the microphone and said: "Welcome to the banquet hall of Freeland Manor, here, delay everyone a little time for dinner, because there is a very important thing to announce next, there are many journalist friends here, I believe you will be very interested, because the news here is first-hand." The Chinese man said humorously.
"Haha." There were two tables full of journalists from various newspapers and media outlets, and after laughing for a while, they cheered up and waited for the Arsenal to come up with exciting news.
The Chinese man smiled gentlemanly and said: "First of all, our group has wholly acquired Arsenal Football Club. Secondly, the coach and the club renewed his contract until the end of 2018, and when the contract expires, Arsèna will serve as the president of the club. ”
Arsenal was bought?
Hearing the news, everyone was shocked, and even the news of the Arsenal manager's contract renewal and retirement as Arsenal president was ignored.
You know, Arsenal is an English football giant, since Wenger took over, Arsenal is a giant in terms of competition and business, although there has been no heavyweight trophy for so many years, but Arsenal enters the Champions League every year, and there is a new stadium that is making money every day, who will sell this chicken that will lay golden eggs?
Moreover, the price to pay to buy from the three shareholders who hold 96% of Arsenal's shares is absolutely staggering. You know, many wealthy people in the Middle East have approached them to buy Arsenal, but they all came back with nothing. I didn't expect to learn today that Arsenal has moved to the owner.
Who can buy Arsenal for a huge price? You know, whether it is the major shareholder American Kroenke, or the second shareholder Ukrainian Usmanov, or the third shareholder, the British accountant Moshri, are all shrewd businessmen, and now Arsenal has survived the most difficult debt period, how can they sell this team that will make money with unlimited "money"?
Everyone at the wine table was in an uproar, and they all exchanged their heads, and many people even asked loudly who bought it, but the Chinese man smiled and did not answer.
Qiansheng held his chin and looked at everything in front of him blankly. After the game, he met Raiola and the Chinese man Qiangui, who was brought here, and if it weren't for Qianzhi's call, he wouldn't have known that this mysterious Freeland manor was their family's property.
The journalists were thrilled, the news was shocking, but alas, it was not an exclusive report, because almost all of the British counterparts were concentrated here. However, the market is so big, and as soon as such a blockbuster news is reported tomorrow, the sales volume will definitely be ......
Qiangui raised his hand, and the audience suddenly fell silent, and there was news? (To be continued.) )
