Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Corrupted Hall
While Hall was being interviewed, Walker also gave Renard an interview.
Talk about how Leeds United's chaotic shareholding structure and inactive management forced out one meritorious player and coach after another, causing the team to fall into the second division, causing a slump of more than a decade.
A set of public opinion counterattacks makes the people lose their judgment and cannot distinguish who represents justice.
Hall signed a high-profile pre-acquisition agreement with creditors to block the acquisition process.
The protesting fans blocking the gate of the stadium gradually dispersed, and only a very small number of 'service gangs' core members were still holding on. For a day of protest, they will receive a day's salary from Baron Alcott.
It's hard to find such a good job.
The players, on the other hand, went on strike more and earned less money every day, seeing that Santander and Alcott seemed powerless to resist the Hall family, they went to work honestly.
You even have to be careful not to be liquidated by the new boss at that time.
In the AEC office, Walker waved the latest issue of The Observer: "Now these players are desperate to show their loyalty to you, so that they can say something to the media and muddy the waters until the deal is completely done."
The newspaper page printed a photo of Hall holding the Leeds United No.25 shirt with a friendly and genuine smile, and it was clear at a glance that he must be a good team owner.
"Walker, you've done me a great favor." He thanked him.
The Observer, which is owned by the Astor family, is a top and influential national print media that focuses on political news.
This public opinion counterattack can help him charge into a war of words with the "Mirror" in the sports industry, which can be said to be a great force, after all, the "Observer" is not the private property of the Astor family.
Walker shrugged, "It's nothing to do with me. Viscount Astor wants to enter politics and has the opportunity to get the favor of the Hall family, so he can't wait to write the article himself. And ......"
He looked at a few people in the office: "The Observer shouts non-partisan slogans, but in fact its ass sits on the left, happy to show goodwill to the soft conservatives like the Hall family."
"What is the value of fighting together?"
Hall couldn't help but laugh and shrugged his shoulders as well: "Anyway, I've benefited a lot from your help these days, and to be honest, I think you have a lot more prospects as a crisis public relations than a journalist."
"But crisis PR won't help me." Walker's tone was complicated, and he instead asked, "What about the acquisition process?"
"The FA and Leeds City Council are procedurally procedurally procedural, and even if a transaction application is rejected, it will take two working days to review it.
plus the approval of our transaction applications with creditors. It won't be done until late February or early March at the earliest." Hall introduced.
Walker propped his chin in thought, "What are you going to do with the shares in the hands of Santander and Baron Alcott?"
"I waited for their trade application to be rejected and sold at a low price. If you don't give up...... Let's talk while we fight." Hall hesitated.
"Then let public opinion calm down naturally?"
Walker analyzed: "Santander is responsible to investors, and Baron Alcott's small shareholders dare to toss around for hundreds of thousands of pounds, and they have no reason to fight you to the end." ….
Hall unconsciously frowned slightly, "Well, I think so too."
A business incident that occurred within the expected period, but was stronger than expected, was resolved more easily. While he was happy, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
Alcourt can play this trick to prove that he is not a fool, but if he is smart, he takes the initiative to flip the table and wait to surrender and admit defeat, not the slightest preparation for the Hale family's response?
Of course, Hall is confident that his current response is good enough. It's not impossible, beyond Alcott's preparation......
"This acquisition was a big success, and congratulations to all of you, you did a great job." Walker stood up as if he had finished his dance, with one hand behind his back, the other stretched out to draw a circle, and then leaned over to his chest: "
Including me."
"Bang bang."
Brandon slapped his face very much, and then Renard and the head of the acquisition team cheered and celebrated.
"What a."
Hall teased Walker, excused himself to go to the bathroom, and said to Luca, who was guarding the door, "You go check on Alcott."
"Uh, boss, you mean to investigate Baron Alcott?" Lukka confirmed, confused.
"Yes, investigate his personal situation, and see if there is anything unusual since the beginning of the month."
"Anomalous?"
"Yes, abnormal, such as he is suddenly short of money, such as ......"
Hall felt Luka's look like a fool, and couldn't say any more, and his face turned red: "I mean, he behaves very strangely, and it doesn't feel like normal business competition. So you need unconventional means, like those detectives who catch extramarital affairs, you know?"
"I don't understand, but I'm inspired." Lukka replied in an admiring tone.
"Shit!" Hall explained, "It's a metaphor, it's just a metaphor. Anyway, you go and investigate what he's been doing lately, and then summarize it for me."
"Okay, I have a comrade-in-arms who happens to be working as a private investigator right now."
Luca stands out for what the owner says and is very reliable.
Hall explained a few details to him, and then called Brandon out alone, telling him to go back and send Alcott an inquiry to test the old guy's stomach for a few taels of bad water.
Hall isn't a brilliant man who can do everything. But he is yin, likes to ponder people's hearts, and is used to groping little by little with stupid methods.
Even if it turns out to be useless in the end, it is better than being attacked twice in one thing.
After arranging the situation, Hall went to his villa in Richmond, where Ms. Helena now lives and is busy with the privatization of British Steel.
This business can earn tens of millions of pounds if it is done well, and it is a very successful business project for my old mother who does not have a gold finger.
Hale and she exchanged their business with each other, chatted, had lunch, and then returned to Yinton College.
On the way, I took the time to write a letter to Yin Sabella in advance, and he didn't have time to rest this weekend, so he had to make up for the missing classes during the leave.
The graduation year has a heavy curriculum, and as an aristocrat who loves to pretend, between girls and grades, he temporarily chooses the latter.
…………
Hall dives in the ocean of knowledge, time passes and external things continue to work in an orderly manner.
At the end of January, the FA rejected Santander's bid for Baron Alcott; In early February, the two parties simply conceded defeat and voluntarily sold their shares to Hall.
On February 10, Company P officially launched a wholly-owned acquisition of Leeds United, and the FA officially received the transaction application.
The whole acquisition went very smoothly, and Alcot didn't play any more tricks.
Waiting for Hall to take the weekend off and free up time to review the results of the private investigator's investigation and clear the last doubt in his mind is a great success.
