American Fortune Life

Chapter 679: No Disappointing David Dunn

In the international division of labour in the globalized economy, the United States is one of the most advanced countries, and today's world economic system is based on the United States dollar as the global reserve currency.

Moreover, the global economic crisis originated in the United States, the bankruptcy of the United States subprime mortgage lending institutions, the forced closure of investment funds, the financial turmoil caused by sharp stock market shocks and the lack of partial transparent and effective market management in the world financial system have led to a liquidity deficit crisis in the world's major financial markets, sweeping across the EU and the world's major financial markets, from which the United Kingdom, as a key member of the EU, has taken refuge.

As a country dominated by finance and services, the British economy was smaller than the United States, but the financial sector accounted for a larger share of the national economy. At the same time, there was a bubble in the real estate market, and the external debt problem was not serious, but the banking sector was poorly run.

“Videoconferencing discussions have been held with Headquarters because, with the precedent of the United States, there is little doubt about the future policy path of the British Government, but whether it is to increase fiscal spending or the money supply, it is essentially to trade the burden of the future for the stability of the current economy, and our plan can successfully meet the desired goals. ”

William didn't stop reporting himself, but because someone else was there, he still took some important things with him, and he knew the boss understood what he was saying.

“Huh.” Andy had a confident smile on his face, but in David Dunn's eyes, he could sense a sense of ridicule. Well, maybe he was a little too sensitive for the British.

“With the financial crisis at bay, the Bank of England has no choice!” Andy's voice said a little chilly, glanced at David Dunn, who looked out of the sky and said to William, “As planned, you guys did a great job this time. It looks like my team's acquisition money is on hold, and I'll celebrate with you when it's over. ”

William's face revealed an uncontrollable joy and nodded slightly excitedly: "Thank you, boss, we won't let you down. ”

You know, my young boss, that's really quite generous. Everyone envied the participants in the two previous predatory operations in the United States and in the foot basin. Andy had promised this morning that the more money he earned, the more bonuses he earned, and that every time the funds were settled, it was immediately after the celebration party. This time, it was their turn to make the London team stand out, and of course, the pound sterling!

Andy showed a satisfied smile on his face, nodded, William stood up and said goodbye, smiled happily on his face, walked back quickly, and he was already kind of anxious to tell the members.

For Jing Ying, who has been cultivated and can bring him constant wealth, Andy is naturally not stingy. Instead of paying taxes to the government, he might as well buy people's hearts. This is the norm on Wall Street, except for now, the whole Wall Street is full of money with this group of people under his Andy Smith. The young people of Free City Investment Corporation have even replaced their sports cars cars, making other Wall Street colleagues in the clouds of unemployment and redundancy envy.

“David, how's it going over there?” Andy kept a smile on his face, took a sip of coffee, and then asked David Dunn, who had the right attitude to put the cup down as well.

“Nothing else stands in the way, and the key is that there are huge differences in acquisition prices, where we give prices of £210 million based on the current market value and slightly higher, while Levy bites the price of £250 million. Negotiations were at an impasse for the time being.” David Dunn replied with a serious expression.

“Well, this Levi was really interesting, looking for a foreign investor to buy a hot spike before we contacted him. The British press, moreover, had always wanted Martin-Juul out of class and had decided to sell the hot spikes. We are already offering a price that is satisfactory to many parties, and he is not satisfied.” Andy couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

“Mainly his dissatisfaction with the 12% stake in former Hot Assassin club president Alan Sugar's hands, as well as the recent media reports of fan questions and dissatisfaction, were some of the minor moves he made behind his back, but these were not enough.” David Dunn explained.

“Huh.” Andy laughed happily and looked at David Dunn with admiration. To be honest, he felt the most right thing to do was to give David Dunn an important place in the European Football Forum, and it was incredibly wise to travel to the British Football Forum as his own spokesperson.

“Speaking of which, I am so glad that you accepted my offer to be the head of this acquisition of the Hot Spurs, by an incredible means. ”

David Dunn heard the compliments of his young boss and had a humble smile on his face, but he also deserved it.

When he returned to London with some of the negotiating team's funds, he did not choose to go directly to the door to make an offer, but first visited Alan Soga, the former president of the Hot Spurs Club.

As an old opponent for many years, Alan Sugar was somewhat surprised by David Dunn's visit, but when he learned that David represented Andy Smith, a young American millionaire, to acquire the Hot Spurs Club, the first thing he asked was, "Will you be the General Manager of Hot Spurs? ”

With David Dunn's affirmative answer, the old thriller retained a five-percent stake and sold the other twelve percent to Andy for £25 million.

Not only that, but he also relied on the influence of the money to help David find another major controller, Hajnualu, who held nine percent of the shares, and several other smaller shareholders, giving Andy 26 percent of the shares in a flash.

When Andy got the phone call, it was kind of embarrassing. Didn't he yell for £400 million to sell? It's only been two days since I arrived in London, and I just got 26 percent of my shares? It's so fast, you have to use the best.

Even more obsessively than Andy, he was offered a takeover offer, eager to earn a huge six percent stake by selling the team, fully representing Levi, the club manager of the sixty-six percent stake in Joe Lewis, and when David Dunn, a former dead opponent, sat at the negotiating table with a bullshit figure from Football, Levi knew he needed to bite a wolf that was even more vicious than him.

As for the £400 million offer of the previous Lion Big Talk, it was ignored directly by Levi, who dared to ask for it, and David, who looked at him from the face, ridiculed him. As the helmsman of the former dead enemy, everyone knew each other well and could not ignore anyone at all.

After all, he Levi is only a small shareholder, although he can exercise the share power of Big Boss Joe Lewis, but after the financial crisis, Joe Lewis is still waiting for the deal to be concluded, to get the pound to relieve the pressure, if the negotiations are stirred, not only can he not explain to Joe Lewis, but if there are no other buyers in the end, it is really passive.

“The reason Levi has been biting is because he thinks he's in London hot and strong, and should be able to sell for a better price. He believes that a hot spike can greatly enhance its appeal if it has a high-quality head coach. So last month Levi went to Spain to pay a visit to Ramos. Too bad Ramos turned him down. ”

David Dunn, on the contrary, very much agrees with Levi's assertions that Levi's abilities are really choking, and that after all, his connections and power on the foot are really a hard wound, and some people can't afford it without money, unless, of course, he offers a price that is hard to refuse. While acknowledging Levy's reasoning, there is still reason to fight over the price.

You know, when David Dunn got Andy's word that he was going to give him £400 million, the lower he pushed the cost of the acquisition, the more money he'd have to spend on running his main stab, whether it was introducing players, renovating and expanding the White Deer Alley stadium, or rebuilding a new stadium with a little money from his younger boss.

So his negotiations with Levi have turned out to be a saliva battle, but the valuation of the acquisition of the hot stab was also suppressed by him to £250 million, not far from his psychological value of £210 million.

“If only £250 million had been bought, it wouldn't have been worth the 40 million valuation, saving you a lot of nightmares... Cough, you're in charge of your decision.” Andy was a little worried that the negotiations would be disrupted by other factors or couldn't get close enough to end the acquisition as soon as possible, and just after that, he saw David Dunn looking at him with a grudging eye, Nima, a middle-aged man looking at himself with a grudging eye, which really embarrassed Andy.

“Boss, you don't have to worry about, you don't have to worry about, you don't have to worry about the media coverage, you don't have to worry about experts, celebrities, fans' opinions, some fans, because it's me who's the negotiator, and this dead enemy they once gave to the Hot Spurs Club to protest, saying what was the plot to destroy the Hot Spurs, oh, that's ridiculous. Well, the London media likes to use all sorts of eye-catching stories to make the rain, and most of the people treat these stories as pastime, don't worry about it. ”

David Dunn knew what his young boss was worried about, fearing that the negotiations would collapse, and went on to explain: "Boss, I think you need to meet with Joe Lewis, maybe you can reach a consensus. You know that Mr. Lewis's life has been very difficult lately, and this crowding wave has hit the banking and financial world a lot. ”

Andy squinted his eyes and sighed at his chin for a moment. To be honest, he should really meet this Joe Lewis, whether he bought from the team or made contact with the British financial community.

“Yes, I'll leave it to you. ”
