reborn in the fiery age

After talking about it, David Brady popularized English football traditions to Sun Zujie and the others, such as the various close ties between the team and the fans, such as the coach called manager, who is also responsible for transfers and directing games, and the club cannot just intervene and so on.

"Of course, I respect the traditional culture of English football and the authority of the coach. I will not dictate his coaching. This is something I can promise to Mr. Chairman in front of the Jazz."

After listening to David Brady, he immediately extended his hand, and a large investment involving tens of millions of pounds was negotiated, and the rest was for the lawyers.

When we returned to the hotel after the talk, Ma Xiaoming was in disbelief, "Brother Sun, this is 1000 million pounds, nearly 2000 million U.S. dollars. Do you want to see a few more?"

"Old Ma, you don't have to worry, I know it well. Mr. David is a fan chairman, and we are not at a loss if we can buy such a club for 200 million pounds."

"However, we still have to pay off our debts and buy new players."

"Of course you have to repay the debt, otherwise you think you can win a club with 200 million pounds, even a second-tier club is not so easy. Now a better player is worth 100 million pounds, and it will become more and more expensive. More expensive than two players.

Besides, if our club wants to make money, it must first develop and at least become a first-tier team, so it must buy people, but how to buy is very particular. "

Gao Fangping also became interested, "How to say?"

"We are Chinese, so we will definitely attract attention, but the current situation of our country is like this. If there is too much trouble, it may cause trouble. So my opinion is that we mainly buy people from young people, so it is not obvious. There is no dew in the mountains."

"But what if young people can't type?"

"Anyway, young people are cheap. If you buy more, there will always be something that can be printed. Another advantage of buying young people is that the wages are low, so our investment will be less.

Of course, the most important thing is that we have to find a coach who is good at cultivating young people. If the general is incompetent and exhausts the entire army, the coach is the most important. "

"Brother Sun, didn't you say you respect the traditions of English football?"

"Of course, the premise is that the coach is capable. During this period of time, my investigation found that English football has fallen behind in an all-round way, so we must hire a foreign coach. There is another advantage of doing this. The foreign teacher has no foundation, so he will not be involved with the club. People from all over the world united to cheat us."

After Sun Zujie finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "It's not good now, we just came here, and we have to wait until the current coach is dead before changing. Let's take advantage of this time to look for good coaches. "

Gao Fangping immediately said, "It must be the Italian coaches, they are so proficient in tactics."

"Hehe, everyone speak freely, remember, we are only a second-tier team, and a good coach will not be cheap."

Hearing what Sun Zujie said, Gao Fangping was immediately discouraged. Yes, after all, they only bought a second-tier team. Alas, there is no way. Their budget is limited. The 1000 million pounds is already a lot. , How could that investment fund come up with so much money.

Sun Zujie doesn't care too much. What he thinks about now is another thing, that is, the whole of England is repairing the stadium, and we Chinese people need to help.

Chapter 438 A Bright Future

Although the reputation of Huaguo's infrastructure madness has not yet been heard, the construction of many venues in the Asian Games shows that Huaguo has the ability to build large-scale competition venues, so Sun Zujie decided to use the reconstruction of Upton Park Stadium to advertise. Domestic construction companies are looking for some work.

Early the next morning, the lawyer had prepared the agreement, which will be submitted to the British government for review after it is signed.This time the negotiation was very fast, but no matter how fast it was, it was not as fast as the reporters from Bredia.

So early the next morning, the news that the West Ham United club was about to change hands was already aroused throughout Bredia.Fidelity Investment Fund is registered in Hong Kong Island, so the news that a group of Hong Kong Islanders are planning to buy a British second division team has already spread.

It's just that after signing the contract, Sun Zujie and his party went to Rover, so the tabloid reporters in Bredia couldn't find anyone.They had no choice but to try to interview the club, but everyone kept their lips tightly shut, and no one wanted to disclose it to the outside world.

There is a reason why this happens.Sun Zujie didn't want to let the whole world know about this matter, and Shen Bi, a Bredian who was proficient in China, certainly knew about this.

If you have yelled too much and scared people away, how can you fool people into investing in British football? At this moment, almost everyone thinks this is a deep hole, even Shen Bi is no exception.

He once asked Sun Zujie in private why he invested in a football club, and Sun Zujie told him directly that it is better to advertise through football subtly than to advertise on TV.

In addition, football players in Huaguo can get training opportunities through this club.Of course there is another reason, Sun Zujie didn't say it, but Shen Bi knew that the old chief was a senior fan, and Sun Zujie was flattering.

Of course, there is another reason. Compared with buying the club, the negotiation between Geng Zhaojie and Rover is more important.Once the agreement is reached, it means that Rover, the most important car company in the UK, will have a life-saving chance, so no matter how important it is, it cannot be overestimated, and of course it cannot make big customers feel disgusted.

At this time, Mrs. Steel, who is about to leave office, very much hopes that a framework agreement can be reached during her tenure, so that she can step down with dignity.But Mrs. Iron also encountered a problem. The Chinese people's requirements were not harsh. Besides, with the precedent of the public, the negotiations between enterprises were relatively smooth. There was only one thing, the Chinese people hoped that the British Prime Minister would visit China and attend the signing ceremony.

Mrs. Steel immediately understood that the Hua people wanted to use this to break the blockade of the US emperor and achieve high-level mutual visits.So Mrs. Steel thought for a while, and asked the heir to the Prime Minister in charge of this matter, "John, Volkswagen has indeed achieved great success in China?"

"Yes ma'am. I have read the annual report of Volkswagen last year, and their profits in China have surpassed those in Germany."

Mrs. Steel nodded, and then asked, "What's the attitude of the US side?"

"The United States has tactfully expressed its opposition through diplomatic channels, and they do not want you to be the first to visit China, because your influence is extraordinary.

Another problem is that the Huaguo people's attitude towards the Rose Garden project is very unclear. We must get the support of the Huaguo people, otherwise there will be no way to complete the financing plan. "

After listening to Mrs. Iron, she thought for a while and said, "John, it seems that the visit to Huaguo can only be left to you."

The so-called Rose Garden plan, even the new airport plan on Hong Kong Island proposed by the Bredians before their retreat from Hong Kong Island, has a total investment of more than 1000 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the time span is as long as ten years.

The beneficiaries of such a huge investment are Bredians or interest groups supported by them, but the future SAR government needs to pay for the new airport. Obviously, they want to empty Hong Kong Island in this way.

Of course the people of the Bredians are well aware of what the Chinese people think, and they came up with this plan when Hua was under sanctions. There is no way to get financing from the bank.

But the American imperialists are not willing to let the second oldest lady in the West, Mrs. Steel, visit China. This is equivalent to substantially lifting the blockade, so it is more appropriate for the prime minister to visit after he takes office.

The two discussed it properly, and after the cabinet meeting approved it, Sun Zujie got a reply that the purchase of the club was approved. After all, it was a small business, and he took the initiative to buy it, so of course it had to be approved.

Regarding the Prime Minister's visit to China to attend the signing ceremony, the British side's attitude is that next year is an appropriate time. After thinking about it, he asked the secretary to hand over the relevant conclusions to the embassy for them to report to the country.Now that the Bredians have their own opinions, it is a matter of the center.

After the agreement was approved, Sun Zujie asked an investment manager from Hong Kong Island to sign the contract with West Ham United Club on behalf of Fidelity Investment Fund. After completing the relevant procedures, 1000 million pounds soon arrived in the relevant account.

Now that the contract has been signed, a press meeting must be held. The investment manager Sun Zujie found was serious at the press conference, speaking in official language, which made the British reporters helpless and did not come up with anything.

So a group of reporters could only ask questions around David Brady. David Brady focused on exaggerating the fact that he asked for less than 100 million pounds so that the club could buy more players. Know that investment funds come from Hong Kong Island.

So in the early morning of the next day, British newspapers reported on the incident under the title of "Mysterious Chinese Investor", and kept speculating about the identity of the buyer.

Sun Zujie was in the hotel and looked at the newspaper. As expected of the number one paparazzi in the world, the Sun newspaper was the most accurate. They said that the investment fund from Huaguo bought West Ham United, and they guessed the identity accurately.

But other newspapers also have stories about the sons of the rich on Hong Kong Island, and the Chinese rich in Southeast Asia, etc. Anyway, there are all kinds of things.

This can be regarded as an expression of goodwill by the Bredians. They muddied the water in this way and saved the embarrassment of the Chinese people. It can be seen that they are indeed full of sincerity now.

According to the agreement, David Brady will continue to serve as chairman, while Bobby Moore, the greatest star in West Ham United history, will become the honorary chairman of the club.

Bobby Moore is the lifelong captain of England who won the World Cup and enjoys high prestige in England, but the players of that era did not have much money at all, and now they have a serious heart disease, and their lives are tight, so Sun Zujie spent a lot of money Invite him to come over to serve as the honorary chairman, to be a living Bodhisattva, the purpose is to appease the fans.

Not to mention, West Ham United fans are just like this. After Bobby Moore appeared, he was immediately supported by the fans. Of course, there is another key reason. All the debts of West Ham United have been paid off. The 500 million pounds that came to buy players has also arrived.

West Ham United fans don't care where the club's owner is, as long as they can buy stars, they are satisfied, so everything is calm soon, and Sun Zujie finally held a high-level meeting at this time.

Except for the financial part being taken over by someone from the foundation, the original management model of West Ham United remains unchanged.

Gao Fangping will serve as the vice chairman of the club, watch more games with Bobby Moore, and appease the fans, so Sun Zujie asked him to learn English well and be able to play with the fans.

Billy Bonds' team is now in the promotion zone. If necessary, he will have the right to decide the use of 500 million pounds to buy people. At the same time, Sun Zujie announced that the club will prepare a 30-pound upgrade bonus.

William, the business manager of West Ham United, and Ma Xiaoming, the vice chairman, will study the relevant matters of Huaguo Enterprises sponsoring the club; Frank, the youth training director of the club, needs to go to China to select a youth team in order to give full play to the value of the football academy.

In addition, Sun Zujie announced that the stadium renovation will start after the end of the season, so Sun Zujie asked David Brady to negotiate the relevant procedures with the relevant parties in the UK as soon as possible and find an alternative stadium.

Sun Zujie finally said, "Gentlemen, let us work together for a better future for West Ham United."
