Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 741
The money to invest in Gazprom has not yet been prepared, and it is another matter of spending money.

One day at the end of March, Abu suddenly called.

"Misha, are you busy recently?"

Wang Ye smiled wryly and said, "I'm so busy. Sometimes when I think about it, I still envy you. Hiding in Chukotka, where the sky is far away from the emperor, every day is not hunting and skiing, but drinking coffee and smoking cigars. That's comfortable. Well. What do you think I am trying to figure out, just a deputy speaker of the Duma, who is busier than the one in the Kremlin all day long."

These words are nothing more than complaining in front of Abu, not hypocritical, because Abu understands Wang Ye's feelings.

Sure enough, upon hearing what Wang Ye said, Abu laughed and said:

"You are still young, it must be right to do more work while you are young.

In a few years, if you are really tired, you, like me, apply to be a governor in a remote area, and Siberia is very good.

By the way, I'm not in Chukotka right now, where do you think I am? "

Wang Ye's heart moved, where is Abu?

I remember the last time the two met, Abu talked about his plan to go abroad and settle down in the future, and...

He blurted out: "In the City of London!"

Abu smiled heartily: "Haha, I guessed right.

The acquisition of the team that I talked about last time has taken shape, and I will now talk about it in the city of London.

I am going to buy Chelsea and the price has been negotiated.

I also got in touch with Arsenal over there, except that the asking price is a bit high, nothing else.

But with your strength, the price should not be a problem. "

In 2003, the acquisition of a Premier League team did not cost a lot of money.

For example, when Abramovich won Chelsea, it was only less than [-] million pounds. In addition to helping Chelsea repay debts and buying players with additional funds, the expenditure in the first two years did not exceed [-] million pounds.

Of course, this is for super oligarchs like Wang Ye and Abu!

The money, in 2003, was already very shocking.

After Abramovich acquired Chelsea, the whole world waved checks to snap up players. It is no exaggeration to say that it directly changed the pattern of global football.

That is, from then on, the so-called Jinyuan football era began.

The giants are getting stronger and stronger, and they no longer train their own players, but use their strong financial resources to directly "plunder" the leading players of small and medium teams.

As the oil capital from China D entered football, this phenomenon intensified.

Like Super Manchester City, Greater Paris, etc...

Oh, and Newcastle United, whose owner is Salman!

…………

"Arsenal agrees to sell? How much will it cost if they buy it wholly?" Wang Ye asked quite emotionally.

Although he is a half-hearted fan, he has never been a die-hard fan of a certain team. He usually likes whichever team has good performance and has many big-name players.

But I am definitely familiar with the famous Arsenal, especially Arsenal in the 0304 season. In that season, the Gunners were unbeaten in the league for more than a year, and the league was unbeaten in 49 consecutive games!
Created the undefeated legend of the Premier League, and set off a red storm all over the world!

With his outstanding performance at Arsenal this year, the superstar Henry became a strong contender for the World Player of the Year, but lost to his teammate Zidane in the national team...

Of course, Arsenal is still in the 0203 season, and their results are not that good.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy to acquire this team.

At this time, Arsenal, because of the construction of the new stadium, the team fell into a financial crisis, and the performance of the game began to slump.

The league has been surpassed by Manchester United, and it seems that the four major players will be empty this season.

Abu smiled and replied:
"It's hard to say how much, because Arsenal's shareholders are too scattered and need to be discussed one by one.

But at present, I have found David Dane, the largest shareholder of Arsenal. He has more than 30.00% of the shares in his hand, and he is willing to sell the shares.

In addition, he is also willing to help and lobby more small shareholders to sell their shares.

At that time, the shares in their hands can be purchased in a package. Given Arsenal's current situation, the price will not be too high.

The acquisition team I hired estimated that the acquisition of the entire Arsenal may be between [-] million and [-] million pounds. "

Up to [-] million pounds...

At that time, the pound was quite valuable, and the exchange rate to RMB was about 15. If the highest price of 22 million pounds was calculated, it would be [-] billion yuan, less than [-] million U.S. dollars!

Using [-] million U.S. dollars to acquire a world-renowned football club is quite a bargain, and Wang Ye is quite tempted.

"Okay! Then buy it. Do you need me to send someone there, or do you want me to fly there?" Wang Ye said decisively.

"It's best that I invite David Dane to Moscow and you two can have a chat in person.

The reason why David Dane is willing to sell shares is not that simple, you will know when you meet.

If you bought Arsenal just to make money, he probably wouldn't sell you a share.

Of course, I know you definitely don’t like the little money the club earns, that’s why you dare to lie in front of David Dane, and he is willing to sell the shares to you, haha…” Abramovich said.

Hearing what Abu said, Wang Ye was a little surprised.

Isn't it for money to sell shares?
So what is this David Dane planning?

Under Wang Ye's questioning, Abu explained again.

It turned out that this David Dane, the current vice president of Arsenal Football Club, is also the club's largest individual shareholder.

The reason why he wants to sell the shares is because the financial situation of the Arsenal club is in trouble. The new stadium is about to be capped, but the club has no money...

Originally, the stadium was built with a bank loan, but now it is impossible to get a loan.

The club is burdened with a loan of more than 6000 million pounds, and the revenue is barely enough to pay the salaries of the players. After all, Arsenal is also a wealthy team with many stars in the team, and the wages are not low.

When David Dane was desperate, he wanted to find a wealthy major shareholder for the club, preferably one who was willing to spend money in the club out of his own pocket.

Just like the owner of Inter Milan...

Coincidentally, Abramovich was buying Chelsea during this time, and the news reached David Dane.

After all, they are all from the London football circle, and the news is very well-informed. He learned that there is a big energy oligarch from Eastern Europe, who is extremely rich and wants to enter the Premier League!
David Dane had an idea, can this oligarch also take a stake in Arsenal? Compared with Chelsea, Arsenal is obviously more famous.

So I took the initiative to find Abramovich's acquisition team.

But at that time, Abramovich had already decided to buy Chelsea, and he did not refuse the offer from Arsenal, because Wang Ye also intended to buy a club for fun...
