"Unless what?"
Seeing anshutz's hesitation, Wenger asked at this time. Obviously, Wenger was more concerned about the strength of the team, so he asked directly.
"Unless someone can fund the direct acquisition of the team and is willing to pay for the direct establishment of the stadium, but according to the current global market value of football teams, few people should be willing to invest in football. After all, football can't make money.
The investment is huge and the return is too slow, especially the large investment in building a new stadium, I think it is very difficult. " Anschutz then smiled back.
"Also, at present, the best team in the Premier League has a market value of only hundreds of millions of pounds and an annual income of only tens of millions of pounds. If you spend so much money, you might as well buy a team directly."
Yes, this year's Manchester United is known as the 'most profitable club in the world'. In fact, it only earned more than 50 million pounds in the 1996-97 season. Today's rich teams are not future generations. The annual income of the teams is often in the unit of billion.
"John, aren't you interested?" Ann Schutz asked jokingly after following the conversation with a faint smile.
"Don't mention, I've been busy acquiring enterprises for the past two years. Now where can I have so much cash to invest in the team? Before acquiring Saint Laurent, some enterprises spent more than $10 billion for my companies.
Moreover, I gave away most of the shares of my own real estate company and media group. Next, if I really want to buy Rolls Royce, I don't know where to change. I really don't have money. " Li Feng complains proudly.
Listening to Li Feng's proud complaint, everyone was surprised. Li Feng said that he spent more than $10 billion on the acquisition, but if such a large capital acquisition should cause a sensation all over the world, why didn't there be any news.
However, considering Li Feng's identity, people also want to know that people should not boast, it should be true, and they don't know what enterprise they acquired and used so many assets for acquisition. Similarly, many people are envious.
……
At this time, Wenger and others were also shocked, thinking that this really did not know which family's heir could participate in the acquisition case with such large funds at a young age. It is estimated that it is the son of which big family of the United States emperor.
"Philip, I think you can cooperate with Arsenal. You don't have a stadium and stadium operation company. If you can build a new stadium in North London independently, and then cooperate with Arsenal to become the home of Arsenal.
For another example, we can cooperate with Arsenal to build a new stadium and develop the land of Highbury stadium in the future. " Li Feng reminded me with a fake joke.
"No, it's too expensive to build a football field in downtown London. I don't know when I can get back. It's a little uneconomical. Moreover, without the support of the team, London teams have their own football venues. It's estimated that there is a greater possibility of losing money."
Listening to the joking conversation between Li Feng and Ann Schutz, everyone in the field had their own thoughts. For example, what Wenger and others thought was that it would be nice if a super rich man directly bought Arsenal and then established a new training center, stadium and so on.
For example, Keith, President and CEO of Arsenal holdings, is also thinking that although they are joking, it is a possible solution.
Among them, David Dunn, the vice chairman, was the most shocked. He thought that although Li Feng had a joke conversation, what they said was really feasible.
Of course, chairman wood, the representative of the British family, is thinking about whether these two rich people from the United States are interested in Arsenal. How is it possible that these American upstarts are qualified to buy the Premier League giants - Arsenal.
……
From the above reaction, we can see the general thoughts of the bosses, shareholders and managers of the Premier League team in the face of foreign investment. At the same time, the future of Arsenal, including the departure of David Dunn, can be seen from here.
"Hey... If only we had the financial resources of John and Ann Schutz, we could build Arsenal into the best team in Britain." Hilwood interrupted the two men with a smile.
"It's a pity. I can't do it now. I don't have so much thought and capital to play in the Premier League. Chairman wood, if you Arsenal welcome me to invest in the Premier League after 3-5 years, I will play in the Premier League at that time.
It turned out that in the United States, you can only watch it on TV. It would be great if you had the opportunity to buy a Premier League team in the future. " Li Feng jokingly looked at the old man hilwood and replied.
"Why, John, do you really want to come to the Premier League?"
"Not now. Now my funds have a place to go and I can't draw funds for the time being, but if I can have 2-3 years, it should be very easy for me to buy a team at that time.
If I buy a team, I will first build the training center and luxury stadium according to coach Arsene Wenger, and then hire a top coach, use at least US $200 million transfer funds to buy 2-3 top stars (such as alien Ronaldo) and form a strong team with some powerful stars. It will be a very good way to play at that time. " Li Feng replied to hill Wude, and then pretended to be talking to himself.
……
Well, listening to Li Feng talking to himself with a smile and full of fantasy, many people have wiped sweat on their foreheads
I don't know what to do with establishing scientific and advanced training centers, luxury stadiums, hiring famous coaches and spending $200 million on transfer funds. Now, if 200 million US dollars of transfer funds are used, who else can't buy it? People think about it and think that anyone can receive it.
"Chairman wood, do you think it is possible for Mr. Bates to promise if I buy Chelsea now? Last time, Mr. Bates seemed to say that running the team was too tired." Li Feng suddenly pretended to think of something, then looked up with an expectant look and asked Hill Wude.
"I don't think it's possible. Chelsea have run well under Bates in recent years. Now they are also a strong team in the Premier League. It's impossible." Hill Wude said against Li Feng's handsome face with expectation and purity.
"John, I think it's possible, Chelsea. I've heard that Mr. Bates is a real businessman. Maybe it's possible if you go and discuss it with others.
Moreover, Chelsea does not have a complex board of directors. Most of the shares are in the hands of Mr. Bates. As long as you succeed, you will avoid the rest of the trouble. I think you can try, John. " Philip Anschutz on one side timely "reminded" Li Feng.
……
"Philip, it seems that it's really like what you said. Maybe I can try. Anyway, it doesn't seem to cost a lot of money to buy the team directly. Chelsea is still one of the famous rich areas in London.
I spent more than 100 million on Kensington Garden Street before. It's not far from there. It's a very good choice. By the way, I kept Mr. Bates's phone before. I can try to contact him first. "
"Cough, cough... John, I don't think you need to be in such a hurry. Didn't you come to visit our arsenal today? Let's talk about it first. As for contacting Bates, you can go back, don't you? " Hillwood coughed and said.
In my heart, I was thinking that if you really bought Chelsea, according to your way of doing things, the London team would not only respect Chelsea. Where would we Arsenal be? It seems that I can find a time to talk to Bates's old fox.
"Oh... By the way, first visit... But Mr. wood, if I really buy Chelsea, please help me a lot.
I know that many stars in your team are very good, such as Bergkamp and Captain Adams. I will give you a satisfactory price at that time. I hope you can give more support, Mr. President.
Also, coach Arsene Wenger, if you are the head coach before I buy Chelsea, I can promise to give you at least $100 million in transfer funds every year. I believe that professional things should be done by professional people. I won't tell the team. They can be written into the contract. " Li Feng then pretended to be hello to me and everyone and said hello to the Arsenal president.
……
Looking at Li Feng in front of his own face, he began to dig corners for his coach. Wood and others immediately felt like eating a fly. They felt that today's play was really a mistake.
At this time, Wenger is also embarrassed. However, facing Li Feng, a simple, handsome young fan, he can only look at the side of the team management and hope that everyone can help out.
