Chapter 1120 Opportunity for Acquisition
After the Community Shield, Manchester United held a celebration banquet. The owner Glazer and their sons did not come. ceo David Jill expressed his gratitude to the players on behalf of the club. David Jill also specifically praised Gao Xiaodong for playing a leading role in the game and as a guarantee for Manchester United to win.
David Jill's words are very meaningful. Some time ago, when Gao Xiaodong was the captain of Manchester United, many Manchester United players expressed opposition, and Vidic even prepared to transfer to Real Madrid. Gao Xiaodong's comparison was a slap in the face. David Jill naturally wanted to clear Gao Xiaodong's name and help Gao Xiaodong consolidate his position in Manchester United.
The big guys who opposed Gao Xiaodong being the captain were not fools. They could understand it, but no one could refute it. Victory proved that Gao Xiaodong being the captain did not have a negative impact on Manchester United. Manchester United is still the strong Manchester United, even stronger than before.
After drinking the celebration wine, they returned home. Monkey and Xiao Le were not asleep. After they came back from the award ceremony, they had just had supper and were chatting and waiting for Gao Xiaodong to come back.
Xiao Le made a cup of tea for Gao Xiaodong and Monkey and said, "You guys talk, I'm going to go to bed."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Sleep, don't wait for me. Staying up late is not good for your skin, so we will go to bed right away."
Xiao Le said: "I understand."
The monkey smiled and said, "Why aren't you so considerate to me?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "Just like you, your skin is good or bad, it won't have any effect."
The monkey said, "Okay, don't bring such a person to lose people. I'm still a single dog, so I can leave me some confidence."
Gao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Le's disappearing back and said terrifiedly: "Monkey, I see that you and Sister Xiaole are of similar age, so you can just make a couple."
The monkey looked at Gao Xiaodong strangely, and found that Gao Xiaodong looked very innocent, and said helplessly: "What are you talking about? How could Miss Xiaole like me?"
Gao Xiaodong looked up and down at the monkey and said, "How could it be? Besides being a little ugly, you have many advantages."
The monkey said, "If you don't have a moonlit face, don't do anything to make a red thread. Sister Xiaole has someone in her heart."
Of course Gao Xiaodong was not a fool, and said with a shameless face: "You won't say it's me, right?"
The monkey said, "Okay, just pretend to be stupid. We can't care so much. I am an agent, not your parents."
Gao Xiaodong was speechless.
The monkey broke the awkward atmosphere and said, "What do you feel like when you wear the captain's armband to hold the cup today?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "It feels very different. I feel like this is my team."
The monkey smiled and said, "That must be your illusion. This is Glazer's team, you are just a worker."
Gao Xiaodong glared and said, "You kid can't make me happy for a while."
The monkey smiled and said, "Xiaodong, I want to have your own team to have a chance."
Gao Xiaodong was stunned and said, "What opportunity?"
The monkey said: "You have heard of Birmingham boss Yang Jiacheng's arrest for money laundering."
Gao Xiaodong said: "I heard that it's all right to me... Do you want me to buy Birmingham? How can I get that much money?"
The monkey said: "Today, Yang Jiacheng's son Ryan Yang has looked for me and he asked if you are interested in running Birmingham with the Yang family."
Gao Xiaodong said strangely: "I remember this Ryan Yang is not very old."
The monkey said: "Ryan Young is just 18 years old, but now he is a director of Birmingham. He is a Manchester United fan and admires you very much."
Gao Xiaodong said: "A child who comes to the board of directors, Yang Jiacheng is really good at making random things. No wonder Birmingham is demoted."
The monkey said: "Yang Jiacheng has no choice. He is still on bail and is under residential surveillance. He can only let his son watch Birmingham for him."
Gao Xiaodong said: "Not to mention whether I can cooperate with Yang Jiasheng, even if I can, I don't have that much money."
The monkey said: "Two years ago, Yang Jiasheng bought the Birmingham Club for 81.51 million pounds, but Birmingham was a Premier League team at that time. Now Birmingham has dropped to the Championship, and its value is estimated to be reduced by half. In addition, it is working with Yang Jiasheng, which is almost the same as 20 million pounds."
To buy a Championship club for 20 million pounds? Gao Xiaodong was a little tempted. He could afford this money, and the key is that it is worth investing.
After pondering for a moment, Gao Xiaodong asked the monkey, "Do you think there is value in investment?"
Although he only contacted Yang Jiacheng's son today, Gao Xiaodong still did his homework. He analyzed: "Although Birmingham was relegated, he lost the opportunity to relegate in the last round, and he was able to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and he still had the strength.
Head coach McGris is relatively stable and has experience in leading the team to advance to the top. He retains him and the team's main players, Nikic, Barry and Bowyer, and there is a lot of hope of upgrading next year.
Now Yang Jiacheng is involved in a money laundering case, and I think it will be difficult for him to acquit. If Yang Jiacheng is imprisoned, his son is only 18 years old and it is impossible to control the club. If you buy half of the shares, you have great hope of controlling the club.
Finally, Chen Qiang's players of Hope Star have reached the age of entering professional football. If you buy Birmingham, you can also give Hope Star players a shelter."
The last reason of the monkey touched Gao Xiaodong, "Monkey, after hearing what you said, it seems like this is a business that only makes money but not loses."
The monkey smiled and said, "There is no such good thing. The risk is still not small. Buying shares is just a preliminary investment. If you don't invest money in the later stage, your performance is not good. Then you will be demoted and your money will be wasted."
Gao Xiaodong said: "This is just what Yang Jiacheng means. What are the British managers in Birmingham's ideas? Are they willing to acquire us?"
The monkey said: "This should be nothing. They can all agree to sell it to Yang Jiasheng. What's the point of having another Chinese boss? Besides, if you buy it, they will be more eager for it. How great fame and investment opportunities will you bring to Birmingham."
Gao Xiaodong said: "This is just what we guess. I think you should be with Chairman Birmingham... and call Peter. Please contact him and listen to his thoughts."
The monkey said: "Peter Pannu is the acting chairman. If you are interested, I will contact him tomorrow."
Gao Xiaodong said: "Of course I have the meaning. I happen to have some money on hand. I am idle anyway, so I don't have much interest when depositing in the bank. It's good to buy a club and have fun."
The monkey said, "Then after I contact Peter Pan Nu, I will discuss it with Chen Qiang and Zhang Qi, two older brothers, and then come up with a plan for you."
Plan? Gao Xiaodong nodded and said, "Okay, I didn't learn it in Mendes, and I'm getting more and more regular. Monkey, the Premier League is about to start, and the national team game will begin soon. I don't have that much energy, so I'll leave it to you. You have to do it well, but you have to invest in my entire family."
This is the first time I have operated such a large asset acquisition. Monkey also looked serious and said, "Xiaodong, I will do my best."
