Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 563 Europe Chapter 2003 Smooth First Step

The chairman of Newcastle United, Mr. Sheffield, is in a particularly good mood recently. It can be said that he is in a very good mood. The team is still a team with the ability and ambition to attack the league championship, but after he took over, Newcastle United has been completely reduced to a mid-range team with the goal of reaching the UEFA Cup-of course, Sheffield will never admit this statement, it's just a nickname given to Newcastle United by those harsh Newcastle local newspapers.

Batch after batch of players, batch after batch of coaches—from 5000 to the present, he has replaced four coaches, and the players are basically only the iconic figure Shearer who has experienced John The people of the Hall era, the others have already transferred to the transfer, retired from the game - he also spent a lot of money for this, and even now Newcastle United's financial deficit has reached [-] million pounds - He couldn't figure it out, he had obviously worked very hard, but he still couldn't get any good results!

"There are still good results. Didn't we win two consecutive FA Cup runner-ups in the two seasons of 9899?" Sheffield thought calmly.

However, after the start of this season, to be precise, after the famous coach Bobby Robson was invited, Newcastle United, or Mr. Sheffield, began to change their fortunes. Compared with the two giants, Manchester United and Arsenal, who are chasing after each other, they have always been at the top of the second group. With two-thirds of the league already in progress, they actually beat Liverpool and Chelsea to rank in the league. The third place is very likely to enter the European Champions Cup next season!

Entering the European Champions Cup means at least tens of millions of euros in revenue, which can also make up for the fiscal deficit.

What pleased Sheffield the most was that the stocks of Newcastle United, which had been sluggish in the stock market, had also begun to rise in full swing. Since February, the stocks of Newcastle United have been extremely active in the London trading market, with a large number of transactions every day. Each share has risen from more than 60 pence per share at the beginning to about [-] pence per share, which means that the value of Newcastle United Club has risen by half!
Sheffield is going to sell some stocks to cash out. He clearly knows that Newcastle United's stocks are only worth [-] pence at most. Selling now is definitely a bargain, and he will buy them back after the price stabilizes. There may be millions of pounds in income during this period, and a fool can count this account.

Sheffield has no doubts about the first time in so many years that Newcastle United's stock has risen so significantly. You must know that Newcastle United has the opportunity to participate in the Champions League for the first time in the years he has been in charge!Stocks should rise as well!

So he started offloading his shares, of course, very carefully at first and only offloaded about a percent of his shares, which were absorbed immediately after they hit the market, and Newcastle's stock was up another five penny.

Sheffield, who had tasted the sweetness, sold again, this time by two per cent. His selling caused a brief drop in shares, but Newcastle rose ninepence as the shares were bought by others within three days. .

After waiting for a few days, after observing that he did not sell the stock, the trading volume of Newcastle stock was still very large, Sheffield was relieved, this time he sold 30.00% of the stock again, and then stopped, after all, he The total amount in his hand is less than [-]%. Now that he has sold so much, he is already a little worried. If he sells it again, maybe the circulating stocks in the market will exceed the amount he holds. At that time, his chairman’s The position is hard to guarantee.

Satisfied with the withdrawn cash, Sheffield's mood improved by three points. He suddenly remembered that the Chinese who came to visit Newcastle United before the start of this season, the world-class rich man, could it be this Chinese who gave him Brought luck to Newcastle?
"Maybe I should treat him to a meal like Sir Hall did." Sheffield thought cheerfully, but after thinking of Sir John Hall, his mood turned a little bit bad again, because Hall has been Even Sir Earle is not satisfied with his job as the chairman of the club, but he can't express his dissatisfaction for this-after all, more than half of the club's shares are in the hands of this old guy.

"Old guy, now you see, I'm going to lead Newcastle into the European Champions Cup too! In a few years, we will definitely win a championship, and then you will have nothing to say."

Cursing secretly in his heart, Sheffield happily left the club, ready to go home.

****************************************
The delighted Mr. Sheffield never imagined that Pei Wei, whom he considered to be the lucky star of him and Newcastle just now, was preparing to pull him down from the chairmanship of the club.

"How's the situation?" In a secret trading place in London, Pei Wei asked as he sat down on a sofa that was brand new, but now it was extremely dirty, even covered with a few unwashed clothes.

"Boss, the situation is very good."

The broker who was typing on a computer turned his head and said, "It went much smoother than we expected. It is estimated that no one would think that someone is buying Newcastle's stock, so we have already purchased almost 13.00% of the stock... only It cost less than £2000 million."

"Oh?" Pei Wei was a little surprised. The total number of shares in circulation on the market was less than 20.00%. They were able to buy nearly 14.00% of the shares. Doesn't that mean there is basically no circulation in the market?
"No, boss, we won't make such a mistake." After hearing Pei Wei's doubts, the agent explained: "We originally only planned to acquire a maximum of 5.00%, but some time ago, several It is estimated that the number of stocks in circulation on the market has increased by about [-]% due to a large-scale sell-off, so we bought more, after all, more is better than less.”

"An increase of 5.00%?" Pei Wei was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's probably because our current chairman saw that the stock price has risen quite high, so he wanted to make a fortune in the middle..."

Pei Wei, who was in a good mood, suddenly thought of another thing: "Will he be alerted by eating up the shares he sold off in a row? The most important thing for us now is to keep it secret, and we must not startle the snake!"

No wonder Pei Wei is so nervous. The acquisition at the beginning is the most important thing. The key is to get enough shares without alarming Newcastle. If Sheffield is alarmed, as long as he will have a consortium from China The news of the acquisition of Newcastle United, which has the largest number of English fans, will definitely stimulate the most vulnerable part of the fans of Newcastle United. Maybe the British government will stop itself like it prevented Sky TV from acquiring Manchester United in 99. To acquire Newcastle, no matter how rich you are, you can't fight against a country, let alone one of the most powerful countries on the European continent.

As long as Sheffield spread the news, the fans resisted, and the government intervened, even John Hall would be powerless to support him, not to mention that Pei Wei believed that a shrewd old guy like Sir Hall would not commit any crimes. Such a mistake, when the time comes, he will definitely put himself aside. The best situation for him is to take the [-]% of the acquired shares and become a non-speaking shareholder of the Newcastle Club, and get a little less every year. Poor bonus...

"You can rest assured." The broker curled his lips, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Pei Wei's questioning their professional quality: "We have gone through several procedures, and then slowly acquired these shares after being disrupted. People have the energy to find out, unless someone has been paying attention to us, even so, we have to go through at least five accounts before purchasing, and this transaction cannot be discovered in the vast stock market transaction information.”

"Oh, that's my slip of the tongue, sorry." Pei Wei said with a smile: "Then everyone, in the next period of time, you should still maintain your current efficiency and make the Newcastle stock trading more active. Don't let people I realized that quite a lot of stocks have been concentrated in our hands... Wait for my news, and when I hear the news, I will immediately buy stocks vigorously, as much as I can get, understand?"

"Got it, boss!"

The brokers present all raised their heads, and replied in a messy manner: "This is our old line of business, and we promise to do it in a leak-proof way!"

Pei Wei smiled. He absolutely believes in these people. These people are all professionals at the professional level. They are the best at splitting accounts and setting off smoke bombs. The salary and subsidies that Pei Wei spends on them every year are astronomical. Numbers, but Pei Wei still thinks it's worth it.

"The first step seems to be going smoothly... Wait until the moment it is launched, it is estimated that close to 20.00% of the shares can be acquired, and with the shares transferred by Hall, maybe I can directly own 70.00% of the shares. Newcastle Club, when the time comes, the British government will not be able to intervene. As for the opposition of the fans, what is the problem? When I bring a champion, they will have no problems... Hehe, it went very smoothly Well……"

While thinking, Pei Wei walked out of the smoky room.

PS: The update of the 250th ticket... Well, it's almost catching up, everyone, please work hard...
