Chapter 861 My integrity is gone!
"Mary, Mary!"

Kerkhoff came down the second-floor stairs in a thick flannel pajamas.

The fat middle-aged maid came out of the kitchen and came to the stairs, "Sir, what's the matter?"

"Did the newspaper come this morning?" Kerkhoff asked with concern.

"Not yet, sir, I just went to see it."

Kekhov nodded slightly and thought for a while, "Go out and have a look again, the newspaper is here, send it to me immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

After speaking, the middle-aged maid turned around and left.

Kerkhoff grabbed the railing of the stairs with one hand and walked down slowly.

He had just had a nightmare, and he couldn't remember exactly what he dreamed of. He only knew that it was terrifying, and he was awakened.

Even now, he is still in shock and has a very ominous premonition.

When he came to the living room, he poured himself a cup of hot water, and just as he sat down, the door opened.

He saw that the middle-aged maid Mary came in from the outside, and behind him was another person.

"Sir, Mr. Cruzer is here."

Kruse behind her had already gotten a little impatient waiting, and rushed out, three steps at a time, and came straight to Kerkhoff, yelling, "The big thing is bad, Edgar!"

Upon hearing this, Kekhov's eyelids twitched, and he immediately stood up, "What's the matter?"

"Look for yourself!" Kruse handed over a newspaper.

Kerkhoff took it over and took a look. Isn't it just the pictorial that he had been waiting for for a long time but hadn't delivered yet?
It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but when you look at it, Kerkhoff is stunned, his eyes seem to be nailed to the newspaper.

As you can see, the headline on the front page of Bild today is very shocking.

The Inside Story of Burger's Shocking Deficit!

Just seeing this title, Kerkhoff was paralyzed and sat down on the sofa.

He couldn't believe his eyes, and he even preferred to believe that he was blind and misjudged.

But when I took a closer look, yes, it was still the bloody red headline.

"I couldn't sleep early this morning, so I went to the newsstand to buy the newspaper that just came out. I was shocked when I saw it, and I rushed over immediately!"

Kruse is also at a loss now, and even trembles when he speaks.

If Kerkhove goes down, he can't get away with it.

"Why? Why is this happening?" Kerkhoff regained some sobriety.

"Didn't we give them the inside story before? Why didn't they report it? Instead, they reported it?"

Kerkhoff almost roared at the end.

His expression already looked a little crazy.

He remembered that he clearly sent all the insider information about Yang Huan and Hamburg to Bild, and the other party also clearly promised to publish it on the front page today, but why did they backtrack?

It's fine for you to go back on your word, but you still beat him up?
Can you be a little more modest?
"It should have been deliberately leaked to Bild!" Kruse said.

A stern look flashed across Kreuzer's eyes. Needless to say, it must be Yang Huan. Even if it wasn't him, it must be Thomas Lake or Beiersdorf, because only they can grasp so much black material about him.

Looking carefully at the report, Kerkhoff felt a sense of weakness.

At the beginning, Yang Huan promised that he would not publish the black material that Thomas Lake had just investigated. In fact, he did, because the inside story he provided to Bild is more detailed and convincing than the original black material. It must have been found out during the audit later.

For example, in the transfer of South Korean player Sun Xingmin, when Tottenham Hotspur offered 1000 million pounds, why did they choose Leverkusen, which had a lower offer of only 1000 million euros?

Is it just because the then sports manager Arnesen didn't want to make a deal with Tottenham Hotspur because of past grievances?

There is also the German international Ogo, why did he suddenly choose to loan Ogo to Schalke 300 when the team is in urgent need of manpower and the league has played two rounds, and also bound a buyout clause of only [-] million euros together with the loan fee?
Is it just because, as the club officially said, Ogo went to Mallorca, Spain to attend the agent's wedding when the team was not training?
But even if this is the case, there is no need to sell it, and it is so cheap!

In this report of Bild, the reason for the Hamburg team's deficit was very straightforwardly revealed.

That is, in 1000, when Kerkhove took over as chairman of the team's board of directors, Hamburg's deficit was less than 700 million euros. At that time, Kerkhoff was able to become chairman of the board of directors because he promised to reduce the team's salary from 4000 million euros to 4000 million euros.

For this reason, the team sold a group of players with higher salaries at a low price or even for free.

But as a result, after a few years, the team's salary has not dropped much, but the team's debt has doubled compared to that year.

This has obviously violated the promise Kerkhove made back then.

After an in-depth investigation by Bild, it was found that there were many transfers and the club's expenses were very problematic, and even pointed the finger at the board of directors headed by Kerkhove and Kruse.

This made Kerkhoff's hands tremble at the end.

In order to hide his guilty conscience, he threw the newspaper in his hand vigorously.

"Bastard, nonsense, nonsense!" he growled.

Is it really nonsense?
Is it really nonsense?

At this moment, the siren suddenly sounded outside, from far to near, and stopped outside the gate.

This made Kerkhoff and Kruse look at each other, and they both noticed the panic in each other's eyes.

When the doorbell rang, the two stood up from the sofa at the same time.

The middle-aged maid, Mary, ran to open the door, and as soon as she opened it, she saw four or five burly men rushing in.

The person in the lead held up a piece of paper in his hand.

"We are from the Hamburg Prosecutor's Office. This is a search warrant issued by the prosecutor. Mr. Karl Edgar Kerhoff, someone has filed a lawsuit against you, believing that you planned and participated in many corruption incidents during your tenure as the chairman of the Hamburg board of directors. We will search your home and office for evidence, and please come back with us to assist in the investigation!"

The man saw Kreuzer, oh, and then took out another document from his briefcase.

"Mr. Cruze, it would be even better if you were here, and please come back with us to assist in the investigation. In addition, my colleagues should be at your home and office now!"

In an instant, Kerkhoff and Kruse were stunned in place.

The hearts of the two of them are like falling into an ice cellar.

Because they all suddenly remembered that in their home and office, there were still things that might become evidence against them. At the beginning, they were too careless and forgot to take them away. Now...

"Two, please!" The leading prosecutor said in a very businesslike manner.

Kekhov and Kruse were exhausted, like walking corpses. Following his gestures, they slowly moved out of the living room and walked towards the gate.

Before he went out, he saw a burst of spotlights flickering outside.

Apparently, some media reporters had already received the news, and they were already waiting for them at the gate.

Done!

It's all over!
…………

…………

hum!
The phone placed on the table vibrated.

Alexander Otto picked it up casually, frowned slightly, then looked at Peter Kenyon who was sitting across from him, smiled apologetically and said, "Excuse me, Peter, I have a call."

Peter Kenyon nodded with a smile, "Please."

Alexander Otto stood up from his seat, walked to the corner of the meeting room, and connected the phone.

I only heard him ask in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Then there was a burst of surprise, "What? How is this possible? When did it happen?"

Then there was a moment of silence, and finally a hum, "I see."

After hanging up the phone, Alexander Otto walked back to the conference table, looked at Peter Kenyon, sat down again, and said with a smile, "Kerkhove and Kruse were taken away by German prosecutors at Kerkhoff's home just now, and several other Hamburg directors were taken away at the same time."

Peter Kenyon didn't seem surprised at all, "Really? That's really not good news."

From his face, Alexander Otto could not see the slightest surprise, on the contrary, it seemed that this should be reasonable.

"Peter, what are you going to do next?" Alexander Otto asked with concern.

Peter Kenyon smiled slightly, "What else can I do? Gouged out a few pieces of rotten flesh, and new flesh will grow. The board members were corrupt and were taken away by German prosecutors, but the daily management and operation of Hamburg must continue, right?"

"What does Master Huan mean..."

"Reorganize the board of directors and re-establish a management team."

Alexander Otto cried out inwardly. Sure enough, Kuhn was right, that's what Master Huan thought.

And it is conceivable that the new set of board members must be people whom Master Huan can trust.

This is just the first step.

Next, if there is no accident, Master Huan will use the method of repaying debts to expand his shares in Hamburg.

This was originally difficult.

If Hamburg still had the management model it had two years ago, it would have been impossible for Mr. Huan to acquire it.

But the most difficult part, that is, the shareholding system reform in Hamburg, Kerkhoff and others have already helped Master Huan complete it.

In other words, the current Hamburg is a joint-stock company. As long as the board of directors approves, Master Huan can buy Hamburg at any time.

As for when and in what way, it depends on how the fans react.

If the fans reacted too strongly this time, it might be delayed a little.

But if the fans have no attitude, it should be soon.

I have to admit that Yang Huan and the people in his team are indeed very powerful.

Doing things is one step after another. Compared with them, Kerkhoff and others are not worthy of carrying shoes.

Fortunately, Kerkhoff still felt that he could give it a go, but he didn't know that he even got into it himself.

"Peter, there is one thing that I don't quite understand."

"whats the matter?"

"The editor-in-chief of Bild, Dickman, is notoriously cunning and cunning. He is also a famous machine gun. Before, even President Woolf fell in front of him. How did you convince him this time?"

Peter Kenyon shrugged. "I don't know either."

"You do not know?"

"Yes, this time it was Young Master Huan who went to see him in person. It is said that they just talked about breakfast. As for what they talked about and what the result was, I really don't know."

Alexander Otto is curious, can he buy Dickman for breakfast?

This is too unbelievable, right?
Could it be that Master Huan just got rid of him like this?

At this moment, the image of Master Huan's wealth and wealth appeared in Alexander Otto's mind.

"How can I prevent you from publishing news that is not good for me?"

"Sorry, I have morals!"

"100 million!"

"Sorry, I have morals!"

"500 million!"

"I'm sorry, I'm really moral!"

"1000 million!"

"...I'm sorry, I still have morals!"

"Nimi, 5000 million!"

"Yes... I'm sorry, I don't want my integrity!"

Well, it should be like this, right?
