Chapter 500

"Mr. Bates, what do you think of my proposal?" Li Feng smiled and said to the bearded man who sat in front of him and looked through the documents with a black face.

Yes, it's time for Li Feng to visit Bates. When Li Feng cleared all the obstacles for Chelsea, he directly contacted Bates and then said he wanted to buy Chelsea.

After that, the situation was expected by Li Feng. Bates directly and severely rejected Li Feng's acquisition proposal. Then Li Feng smiled and gave Bates a copy of his own information for him to consider. He was drinking coffee with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Li, your acquisition of Chelsea may not be recognized by England and the fans." Although the old fox felt a little surrender, he still defended.

"Mr. Bates, you may not know that before meeting with you, I contacted the chairman of the FA and the chairman of the Premier League. They all expressed their support for my investment in the Premier League. At the same time, their group will invest at least US $1 billion in projects in the UK.

Finally, this is a joint acquisition of Chelsea. In addition to being a major shareholder, Prince Charles will serve as the honorary chairman, the Grosvenor family will become a joint shareholder and the Duke will become the vice chairman of the team.

As for the fans, I will hire the best football coach in Europe and give him the funds he wants to buy players, expand the football field and invest in youth training. Facing the booming Chelsea, I think the fans will come back soon.

Another point, Mr. Bates, you may not understand that according to your current operation of Chelsea, your so-called Chelsea village is doomed to be a failed real estate project. At present, your Chelsea village has a debt of nearly £ 30 million, which is still reluctantly supported by blood transfusion from the team and bank loans.

Although you transferred the team industry to Chelsea village company, in fact, your operation is illegal, because your identity as Chelsea president and FA Executive Committee avoids investigation, but if the FA agrees to the investigation, then.

And your operation, whether in Manchester or virgin islands, has been confirmed. If the fans know that your operation is the same, I think most fans will make rational analysis, and maybe Mr. Bates will become a rat in the street. "

……

At this time, also in the club's office, a major shareholder of Chelsea was laughing in his heart, and even secretly thought, Bates, you also have today.

"Madam, is your family willing to sell your Chelsea shares?" Li Feng ignored Bates' silence and asked a middle-aged woman with a calm face beside him.

"Mr. Li, if Mr. Bates is willing to sell, I have no problem here."

This is the wife of former Chelsea vice president Matthew Harding. Li Feng called the Harding family today to deal with Chelsea club at one time.

In fact, Harding family is a loyal Chelsea fan. Unfortunately, Matthew Harding, the vice president, had an accident and died when he went home by helicopter after watching Chelsea's ball game last year.

However, Matthew Harding is a loyal fan of Chelsea. Therefore, he is very dissatisfied with Bates' management of Chelsea and believes that Bates' management will destroy Chelsea. Even Bates once drove Harding out of the Chelsea board.

In fact, the real discerning people know that Bates's approach will do more harm than good for Chelsea in the long run.

Unfortunately, for most fans, they only see the current situation. For example, since Bates ran Chelsea, ordinary Chelsea fans have seen the hope that Chelsea will become a strong team and the team has achieved ideal results.

Bates accounts for about 51% of the shares of Chelsea, Harding family accounts for about 20%, and the rest are in the hands of the stock market and some small shareholders. Li Feng has ordered people to buy Chelsea shares, which is almost 5% now.

……

"Mr. Li, if I don't accept it, what will you do? Even if these exposures are exposed, it seems that British law can't really let me go to prison." Bates said to Li Feng with a black face.

"Ha ha... Mr. Bates, I don't want to be an enemy with you. If I were an enemy, I wouldn't talk to you. I would directly let my media group expose these news, and then ask Murdoch to help expose the media newspapers of news group one after another.

At that time, Chelsea's stock price must have plummeted. I will short Chelsea before, and the stock will become waste paper. I make a lot of money and finally take over Chelsea, which is in my best interest. Similarly, maybe Mr. Bates will have nothing at that time.

I have no mercy on the enemy and will never give anyone any chance, but whether to become an enemy or a friend depends on Mr. Bates's choice. "

Listening to Li Feng's words, Bates was speechless again and thought, if you do this, do I have a choice.

"Well, in that case, I don't seem to have a choice. I hope Chelsea can carry forward in Mr. Li's hands." Bates calmed down for a while, then murmured with a dark face.

"OK, this is my professional financial staff's valuation of the Chelsea club and Chelsea village project as a whole. I will bid £ 40 million to buy the shares in their hands. You can have a look.

You can leave smartly after taking the money. I will bear all the debts of Chelsea. If you like, we can sign an agreement on the spot and I will pay cash directly. " Li Feng smiled and gave them a long prepared share transfer document.

At this time, they didn't have ink. They took the document directly, let the club's legal adviser read it, and signed it directly after confirming that everything was normal.

……

Li Feng smiled and wrote a check to them. Finally, he promised Mrs. Harding that the Harding Stand at Stamford Bridge would be kept forever, which made Mrs. Harding happy and made friends with the Harding family.

"David, the next team is up to you." Li Feng smiled and said to the middle-aged man beside him.

"Boss, thank you for your support. I will work hard." The man called 'David' by Li Feng smiled back.

This is David Gill. If Manchester United fans would be familiar with it, yes, this is the later CEO of Manchester United, but now it is dug up by Li Feng.

When it comes to running a Premier League team, what Li Feng thought of at that time was the practice of Chelsea later. He wanted to dig Kenyang, the CEO of Manchester United. Unfortunately, after contacting the headhunting company, the other party said he didn't want to leave Manchester United.

At this time, Manchester United was the "most profitable club in the football industry", which was the first club in the world and had a great reputation. Kenyon was unwilling to leave.

Since it's not possible to dig the current CEO, dig the future CEO. After all, Manchester United's business development ability has always been among the top in Europe. Both CEOs are very excellent. Therefore, Li Feng found David Gill.

Facing the CEO position offered by Li Feng and the CFO position offered by Manchester United, David Gill simply considered it for a day and then came to London.

……

"Next, we are mainly faced with the reaction of the fans. As long as we can appease the fans, we can ensure the normal operation of the team. Also, you can contact Gullit first and take him to the hotel to find me tomorrow." Li Feng immediately told David Gill.

"I see. I'll get in touch with Gullit now. It's nothing. I'll go out first." David Jill left the office with a smile.

Li Feng knows that although he doesn't hold 100% of the shares, now Chelsea club has been in the bag. The next season is the key. As long as the first season can be successful, he will stand firm. Thinking of these, he can't help thinking.
