The next day, Chen Xi asked George Hamm to transfer $1 million to the account provided by Zuckerberg. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Later, 10% of the shares of Facebook, which became popular all over the world, were also quietly transferred to Chen Xi's name.

After spending a few days in the United States, Chen Xi is also preparing to return to England.

In the past few days, the relationship between Chen Xi and Scarlett has also made a lot of progress. This can be seen from Scarlett's reluctant expression when she sent Chen Xi away!

Before leaving the United States, Chen Xi also instructed George Hamm to speed up the development of venture capital companies in the United States. Because he knows that in the next few years, it will be a blowout period for the American Internet industry.

Chen Xi is not sure, at least he knows that YouTube, a video website that has swept the world in the future, should have appeared in the past two years. This is the world's largest video-sharing website in the future.

Although it may not be able to bring such a high income to Chen Xi like Facebook, if he can really invest in this website, it will be enough for Chen Xi to make a lot of money.

This trip to the United States made money, talked about business, and gained a deep friendship.

In addition, the chance encounter with Moratti can be regarded as a harvest, of course, being accompanied by a beautiful woman like Scarlett in the United States in the past few days also makes Chen Xi feel very comfortable.

All in all, Chen Xi felt that he was worthwhile! ――

In the past few days in the United States, Chen Xi has not been calm in European football!

First of all, after the European Cup is over, the major European giants have begun to attack their favorite goals.

Among them, the Liverpool team has received countless offers for the purchase of Chen Xi, Owen and Gerrard, the three musketeers of the Red Army!

In addition to the players, some coaches have also become the target of competition from European giants.

Among them, Mourinho, who has been in the limelight in the past two seasons, is the most sought after!

The clubs that have publicly expressed interest in Mourinho include Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan. As for the other three major league teams, there are countless teams, but no one thinks Mourinho will go to a small team!

As for Real Madrid, Queiroz has been dismissed from class due to poor results, and now he urgently needs to find a quality manager.

As for Chelsea, Claudio Ranieri has led Chelsea to the Blues' best record in recent years on multiple fronts. It's just that Abu feels that Ranieri's fame is not worthy of his team, and more importantly, he thinks that this tinker does not have the temperament of a champion!

Inter Milan also just fired Zaccheroni and wanted to find a new manager, while Moratti listened to Chen Xi's advice and shifted the focus from Mancini to Mourinho.

In addition to these three giants, several other traditional giants have stable coaches!

As a result, it is widely believed that Mourinho's new owners will be among the three teams.

Originally, the British media reported that Abou's Chelsea was the closest club to reach an agreement with Mourinho.

However, with the involvement of Real Madrid and Inter Milan, Mourinho's attitude has also become uncertain.

After all, compared to Chelsea, which is still under construction and is known as the nouveau riche, Real Madrid and Inter Milan, the two traditional giants, are obviously more attractive.

Of course, Chelsea, as a Premier League club, also has more rights as a coach, which may be a very important point to attract a coach with the surname Mourinho!

Considering that Mourinho's contract with Porto has not ended, and he is not a free agent, Porto also plays an important role in Mourinho's "transfer"!

When the outside world is constantly linking Mourinho with several big clubs, Porto president Da Costa has slammed that it is "illegal" for other clubs to contact his coach privately!

However, with Mourinho's departure almost a foregone conclusion, there has also been news in the media that Porto have contacted former Real Madrid coach Queiroz. It seems that da Costa has also resigned himself to his fate.

However, the outside world also speculates that if you really want to sign Mourinho, Mourinho's new owner may have to pay Porto a certain "transfer fee"!

Paying a transfer fee for a coach is a rare occurrence in European football!

FC Porto are rumored to have £40 million in debt, so the Porto players, who have reached the European finals for two consecutive seasons, are expected to be divided.

Da Costa is also used to this, and he is also familiar with buying low and selling players high, and this is the fate of a second-rate league team like them............ In the middle of the league break, the European Championship is over, and there are no important games, and the sports media are all focused on the whereabouts of the players and coaches.

For a key figure like Mourinho, the media has played an excellent screenwriting role, carefully arranging the question of his whereabouts into a soap opera, with a different version every day!

In terms of players, the one who has attracted the most attention is naturally Chen Xi!

As the hottest star in world football today, it can be said that every big team wants to get him!

According to a staff member of the Liverpool club, after the end of the European Cup, several giant teams in the three major leagues in European G14 all sent requests to the Liverpool team to buy Chen Xi!

Of course, there are those who are tentative, and there are those who are sincere!

Interestingly, the most sincere purchase of Chen Xi is also the three clubs of Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea!

One can also understand this.

After all, Chen Xi's value is very hopeful of breaking the transfer value record held by Zidane.

Therefore, even if the giants hope to get Chen Xi, it is a problem whether they can come up with the money to buy Chen Xi.

Even if because of Abu's golden dollar policy, the European transfer market in the past two seasons has been somewhat "inflationary", and the value of players has skyrocketed, but not every giant's summer transfer budget can easily exceed 100 million!

Just when people were discussing whether Chen Xi would transfer, or whether he was going to transfer to that club.

Howard, the sports editor-in-chief of The Sun, broke a fierce news!

"Huge debts are preventing the Reds from taking off again, and the four-time Grand Slam champion is still struggling to make ends meet!"

The article pointed out that the Reds Liverpool had a £50 million debt in the middle of the season and were caught up in buyout rumors. It was thought that after the unprecedented success of the quadruple, Liverpool would be able to emerge from the debt crisis.

But in reality, this is not the case!

Howard said that 50 million pounds is just a debt for the Liverpool team, but with the interest on the loan and some undisclosed debts, the debt of the Liverpool team has reached more than 80 million pounds, and may even reach 100 million!

As the best team this season, Liverpool have also made high gains this season.

After winning the Champions League alone, the appearance fee from the group stage to the final plus the prize money for winning reached almost 60 million euros, not including ticket revenue and broadcast shares.

It's a pity that the four crowns and 65 unbeaten unbeaten results did not bring Liverpool FC a beautiful financial statement!

Judging from the financial statements of the Liverpool club obtained from the Liverpool finance department, despite the unprecedented success of last season, the profit of the Liverpool club was less than 20 million euros!

This profit may only be enough to pay the interest on the debt!

With such a large gap in earnings from outside expectations, what's the problem?

The answer is none other than Liverpool's quadruple of the season!

This season, due to Chen Xi's high salary, the Liverpool team had to adjust the salary structure of the team.

At the same time that the main players of the team have increased their salaries, in order to stimulate the positive surname of the players to win the championship. Liverpool Chairman Moores offered the team a high prize money for winning the championship!

The League, League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Champions Cup have combined to win more than £20 million in prize money across the four routes!

Although the prize money was very generous, Morse did not expect the team to really complete the unprecedented quadruple crown, so this is more than a huge prize money was not budgeted by the club's financial staff!

After the quadruple victory, the Liverpool players made a lot of money, and the fans celebrated excitedly, but the club's finance department frowned.

Liverpool's problem, in a nutshell: too much spending, eating up their income!

As soon as this news broke, the outside world was in an uproar!

An unprecedented four-time crown, with an unbeaten record of 65 games, but still unable to make ends meet!

Just how bad are Liverpool's financial problems?

Of course, the media quickly analyzed something that could happen!

For example, the transfer of several high-profile stars in Liverpool...... There are also some optimistic Liverpool media who say that as long as Liverpool can stabilize the team's squad and record, and streamline financial spending, it will not be a problem to get out of debt after a few seasons.

But the problem is that the debt crisis has been publicized, and the internal stability of the team will inevitably be affected, so how can the record be guaranteed?

What's more, the interest expense from a huge debt is also a lot of money, unless you have a large income, a season's profit is estimated to be enough to pay off the interest!

There is no doubt that without big gains, Liverpool FC will be stuck in a cycle of bad names!

In the face of overwhelming reports, Liverpool FC officials made several clarifications, saying that the club's financial problems are still under control, and they are not as exaggerated as the outside world has advertised.

However, in the face of the comparison between Liverpool's exposed debts and their financial statements, the club's clarification pales!

At this time, some good news outlets pointed out that Liverpool FC needed to sell at least one of the Red Army's three musketeers to ease the financial pressure.

Of course, selling Chen Xi, who is worth a lot of money, will be the best solution!

As soon as the news broke, it caused a huge repercussion in the Liverpool area!

Red Army fans immediately gathered outside the club's building, unfurled banners and shouted slogans against the club selling any of the "Red Army Three Musketeers"!

Fans sometimes it's as simple as that, the club's financial problems are not on their radar, they just want their favorite stars to stay with the team and help the team play well. In this way, they will willingly pay for tickets to watch the game, which is the best support for their team!

Liverpool's CEO Perry also quickly held a press conference and publicly said: "The team will not sell the team's main players easily!" ”

This remark seems to put an end to the possibility of the team's main force being sold.

But some media have seized on the word "easy" to make a big fuss!

"Not easily" to sell the main team of the team, that is to say, when it is absolutely necessary, it will still have to make this decision!

Don't you see that many teams swear that players who are "not for sale" end up wearing the jerseys of other teams, and now Perry doesn't even have the courage to say "not for sale", isn't this leaving a way for the player to be sold later?

Hearing the meaning of Perry's words, the major European giants immediately began to launch a "poaching operation"!

"Chelsea are the real nucleus of the Reds' midfield, and England's 'double Germans' are expected to gather at Stamford Bridge!"

"Lord Fergus intends to be the Red Army's Iron Gate, Alonso or Kellen!"

"Florentino: Real Madrid's superstar of the year will come from Liverpool, Edison Owen must buy one!"

"Moratti is poised to sign Jose Mourinho Edison, the golden combination or revive the Nerazzurri!"

"The four-crown head of the Galaxy Battleship, Master Bei or 'Return to Home'!"

…… After the news of Liverpool's financial crisis broke, there were all kinds of "scandals" about Liverpool's players and even coaches in major European media!

All of a sudden, it seemed as if the quadruple champion Liverpool was about to fall apart!

And the spokesman of the Liverpool club has become the busiest person, he has to hold press conferences again and again to clarify, or in interviews with the media with remarks favorable to the club to stabilize the morale of the army!

…… During this time, Liverpool Chairman Morse has become the busiest person!

He had to deal with a whole bunch of takeover applications every day. There are those who want to buy Liverpool players, there are those who poach Liverpool coach Benitez, and there are even those who want to buy Liverpool clubs!

Morse had cursed that damn Howard ten thousand times in his heart...... Ten thousand times!

Last time, Liverpool had a debt of 50 million, and the news that Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and Liverpool's third largest shareholder, Morgan, were ready to invest in the acquisition of the club was broken by Howard of The Sun!

That time, thanks to the team's good prospects, the team's military spirit was not shaken too much, and the team maintained its good form to the end and won the quadruple crown!

But this time...... The team has just achieved the quadruple crown, and the situation within the team has already been somewhat discordant.

Some of the main players' agents are asking for salary increases, some of the main substitutes are taking advantage of the surge in value to transfer, and the players will inevitably have some pride and slackness.

At this time, the club and the coach are required to do a lot of work on the players, trying to stabilize the situation of the team, so as not to affect the performance of the next season.

Who knows, at a critical time, "The Sun" broke out again!

This is undoubtedly worse for Liverpool!

Morse knew that clarification alone could no longer change the situation.

If you want to stabilize the morale of the army, you must cut through the chaos quickly!

The most direct way is to solve the club's debt crisis!

After all, in today's age of football's commercialization, players can only feel safe if a club has strong financial strength!

How to solve the debt crisis?

Loan?

Don't talk about it, loans will only make the debt problem snowball!

Selling land?

Morse wanted to sell the plot. Although Liverpool is not as developed as London, it is still a little bit of land. However, the club has no spare land except for Melwood training base, and Melwood has been sold, so will the players go to Anfield to train?

At this time, Morse was really envious of the Spanish duo of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Both clubs own large plots of land, and Real Madrid made 400 million from the sale of land three years ago, which is a big reason why they still don't have too much debt despite spending lavishly!

Selling club shares?

If Morse had wanted to do it, he would have sold it long ago!

Morse was a traditional Englishman, and although he was not good at running a club, he still had British pride in his bones. He didn't want Liverpool's centennial club to become a plaything in the hands of foreign consortia in his own hands.

Of course, there is also the option of accepting financing from Morgan, who is also British and is the third shareholder of the club. There is no need to worry about him turning Liverpool into a money-making tool!

However, for Morse, if he had to sell his shares, he would rather sell them to foreigners than to sell them to his nemesis!

After all these options have been ruled out, there is only one option left, which is the most common method used by clubs in financial crises.

That's ...... Sell Players!

Last season's quadruple win left most of Liverpool's players worth up to the water, and selling some players to alleviate debt pressure is not a big problem.

After all, in this era of skyrocketing player value. Like some of the main players of the Liverpool team and even the main substitutes, it is not a problem to sell for a good price at all!

Take, for example, the team's substitute striker Baroshe, who scored five goals at the European Championships, and is second only to the two favourites in this summer's transfer market, Chen Xi and Wayne Rooney, in the Bronze Ball.

And Barosh is only twenty-three years old, so he might be able to sell it for a good price!

Other high-profile players such as Diouf and Danny Murphy may also be able to sell for a good price.

However, even if they were sold, it was estimated that they would be able to recoup twenty or thirty million pounds. This is far from enough to settle the team's debt of more than £80 million.

If you really want to solve the debt problem, you may have to sell one of the three musketeers of the Red Army.

Due to their outstanding performances in all competitions and the European Championship last season, the value of the Reds' three musketeers has been rising.

Selling one of them is worth selling a few of the other main players and main substitutes!

The problem is that these three players are the foundation of the team, and if one of them is sold, Liverpool may return to the decline of previous seasons.

But the current situation has forced Morse to make a painful decision, so who should he sell?
