Chapter 65: What You Should Know
The Sun is the largest circulation tabloid in the UK, and its characteristics are, in short, undisciplined, unscrupulous.
As you can imagine, this is a newspaper that dares to put the nude photos of Prince Harry of the British royal family on its own pages, and after causing the dissatisfaction of the British royal family and strictly banning major media from reprinting them on the grounds of protecting the prince, The Sun did not even compromise because of this, but found a reporter of the same name in its own newspaper to imitate Prince Harry and reproduce the nude photos......
It's just that no matter how unscrupulous you are, there is a time to get away. Four years ago, the Sunday edition of The Sun, The News of the World, had to end its more than 160-year history because of a wiretapping scandal.
For such a newspaper, the English people can be said to love and hate. But no one can deny one thing, that is, although "The Sun" likes to sensationalize, but a lot of news, the first thing they know is precisely this newspaper, just like the current Lin Sen's acquisition of Cambridge United.
Exposure does not mean that the news is dug up, there is another possibility......
From shareholding to acquisition, not to mention the progress of the process, in this matter, Boyaa should do a seamless job of keeping it secret, and the reason for being able to keep it secret is actually the same as the reason why she wants to keep it secret, because of her royal status, and because of her relationship with Lin Sen, these two layers of relationship, no matter which layer, once exposed, are easy to cause unnecessary discussions.
"The Sun" does not buy the accounts of the British royal family, and naturally it will not buy the accounts of the Spanish royal family, so the reason why this matter was not exposed until this most critical time is obviously not because Boya was negligent at the last moment, but because this news was deliberately revealed to "The Sun".
The information revealed by Boya is that Cambridge United is about to change hands. This news is actually not entirely accurate.
When you see or hear something, it's already happening. Cambridge United is not about to change hands, but it has already changed hands. Just the day before The Sun was exposed, the two sides had actually reached an agreement on all aspects, and while people were reading the news from The Sun, Lin Sen had actually signed the contract.
Negotiations with Paul Barry were not easy, although Linson had removed the biggest obstacle between the two sides in the previous meeting. The reason why it is the largest means that there are still other obstacles on both sides. The so-called business talk, no matter how much Paul Barry has feelings for Cambridge United, it is impossible to transfer the shares to Lin Sen casually.
Unlike the previous Boyaa easy stake in Cambridge United, this acquisition, Paul Barry will lose control of Cambridge United, in other words, no longer marrying a daughter-in-law, but marrying a daughter. Moreover, she is a more and more beautiful daughter. Cambridge United is already a first-division team, and the price is always different from before, as for how much higher. That's what the negotiations are about.
After several tug-of-wars, the two sides finally reached an agreement, and Boya also revealed the matter to The Sun through a certain channel.
As for why? Very simple. Since Lin Sen couldn't open his mouth, Boya had to find a way to make others speak.
It may not be successful, but it is an attempt.
"What's next? Cambridge United?! ”
The bold headline of the newspaper placed on the table is unusually prominent.
Mubarak had a habit of reading newspapers. But The Sun, which is full of insider scandals, rarely makes it to the table in his office, and this time is obviously an exception.
For Manchester City, the name Linson is a thing of the past, and now Manchester City, the name is Carlo Ancelotti. Of course, this does not erase Linson's contribution to Manchester City over the past few years, and no one can change the fact that his name is destined to be etched there forever in the city's history.
For Mubarak personally, Linsen is a good friend, or rather, an interesting friend, and it is worth mentioning that interesting here is not a derogatory term. From meeting on the plane, to Lin Sen's somewhat accidental entry into Manchester City, to the cooperation between the two in Manchester City, and Lin Sen's achievements in Manchester City, this series of stories is like God's arrangement.
Behind the success of a head coach is bound to stand behind this successful chairman.
Like Mansour, when he first came to Manchester City, Mubarak also faced all kinds of doubts, but now, like Linson, Mubarak has engraved his name into the hearts of Manchester City fans, and even, in the minds of many Manchester City fans, his reputation is even higher than Mansour, thanks to Linsson's success, otherwise, a club that only has investment but no results, the chairman may be able to get the understanding of the fans, but it is definitely not a success.
In turn, Linsen's success is also due to Mubarak's support.
So, Mubarak and Linson's partnership at Manchester City may not be close, but it is certainly not a problem. It is precisely because of this that after Linson left Manchester City, Mubarak invited Linsen to return to Manchester City, even if only as a manager. However, even in a harmonious relationship, some things still cannot be changed.
Linson left Manchester City for Real Madrid, something Mubarak knew.
For this matter, Mubarak said that if he had no guilt in his heart, it was impossible, but he knew very well what he should do, so, after confirming with Linsen, he in turn signed Ancelotti, who left Real Madrid.
Lin Sen knew about this until here, but what Lin Sen didn't know was that during the contact with Ancelotti, Mubarak actually "accidentally" got a piece of news, inside information about Bale's transfer.
For Bale's transfer, Mubarak knows that this was the most nerve-wracking transfer for Linsen last summer, and the final outcome of the matter is now known to everyone, Real Madrid finally poached successfully, as in previous seasons, and Manchester City, like previous seasons, has been richly rewarded.
It should be said that if the question of the willingness of both parties is excluded, in terms of the transfer result alone, Bale's transfer should be regarded as a win-win deal. At this time, it is actually not beneficial for anyone to think about the inside story and cattiness of this transfer that has become a thing of the past, and the best and most common approach is to act as if nothing is known. However, in the end, the matter was made public by an "accident", and then quickly fermented, and Lin Sen finally failed to go to Madrid.
As for the matter itself, it was still closed in the end, and the legendary FIFA intervened, and the final result was unknown. So, in other words, there is actually only one person affected by this incident, and that is Lin Sen.
Mubarak told Linsen that he had no choice, but in reality, the choice was always in his hands. That's why he said sorry to Lin Sen, but he didn't tell Lin Sen the real reason for the apology.
And now, Lin Sen is preparing to go to Cambridge United, which undoubtedly makes Mubarak a little surprised, his first subconscious reaction is that this is just another rumor of the "Sun", but the thing, and after the matter is confirmed, he subconsciously feels that this is not Lin Sen breaking the jar, but the previous time was different, this time, he quickly vetoed his idea.
Because, Lin Sen is not that kind of person.
As a result, Mubarak began to look at Cambridge United, a club that had just been promoted to the first division.
Mubarak knew about Cambridge United, only last season, because of Tang Hua, and the second time he saw the name of this club was when this team came to Manchester to challenge Manchester United, and that's all, yes, to exaggerate, just looked twice. As for impressions, that's not to talk about, and with Mubarak's status, can you expect him to pay more attention to a League Two team?
This is the third time Mubarak has seen the name of Cambridge United.
"You revealed the Sun's report, right?"
Also in Manchester, Lin Sen, who has been an otaku for more than a week, pushed open the door of a room and asked.
At this time, a slender figure in the room was in a posture that seemed awkward to Lin Sen and remained motionless, it was Boya who was finally free and was practicing yoga, so, naturally, Lin Sen's question was not answered. In this regard, Lin Sen touched his chin, and his originally somewhat serious expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, obviously this is not the first time he has encountered such a situation.
So, he had to wait patiently. After a long time, just when Lin Sen wanted to leave, Boya finally ended his yoga practice.
"I'm right, I'm going to know sooner or later anyway, isn't it?"
Boya's voice was a little hurried because of the practice, but the tone was very calm.
“…… Didn't you say that it would be kept secret for the time being until it was announced? How did you suddenly change your mind? Boya admitted it so simply, Lin Sen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.
"Isn't it because you can't put it down? I'm actually doing you a favor. Boya picked up a bottle of mineral water and unscrewed it as he spoke, but the mouth of the bottle seemed to be a little tight, and he couldn't unscrew it after a few twists.
“…… But even if that's the case, it's not necessarily that Manchester City will really buy it. You're probably just doing useless work. Lin Sen consciously took the bottle from Boya's hand, unscrewed it easily, and then handed it to Boya.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Boya took the water, took a few sips and said, "And, I can assure you, this matter may not be as difficult as you think. ”
"......" Boya's words made Lin Sen's heart move, and he said with some suspicion, "Is there something I should know?" ”
Boya's beautiful eyes glanced at Lin Sen, suddenly smiled, and then said, "Don't you know everything you should know?" My dear husband. ”
After speaking, Boya stepped forward, kissed Lin Sen mischievously and affectionately on the cheek, and turned around and walked out of the room. (To be continued......)
