Hollywood starts with animation

Sure enough, Zhu Ke did not expect it.

The next day, newspapers and magazines all over the UK published articles on Zhu Ke's threat to acquire Manchester United, which made headlines.

Especially at the morning of the same day, Zhu Ke personally met with the chairman of the Manchester United club, which made countless media excited.

"Headlines! If this is not a headline, then what else is a headline!" After taking the photo, Mitchell, an external reporter for the "Sun", jumped into place excitedly.

At this juncture, whoever gets the photo first will win sales!

Reporter Mitchell was of course very excited. He called a person in charge of The Sun as soon as he finished taking the photos.

"Eddie, this is Mitchell!"

"News, of course, big news! American entertainment tycoon Zhu Ke met with the chairman of the Manchester United club. Is this big news? Yes, it's right in front of my eyes."

"Photo? Of course I have!"

"But how much can you give me? Man, although I am only an external reporter, I have a bottom line. I can't buy me 1,000 pounds and tarnish my professional ethics!"

"No, no, no, I think 3,000 pounds is more in line with my price."

"If you don't like it, don't worry, I will contact the old Hodford of Mirror Weekly, or Pieno of Edinburgh...Hahaha, you are smart, Eddie. This is big news! "

.......

After half an hour.

Zhuke ended the conversation with the chairman of the Manchester United Club, and was surrounded by a group of bodyguards, boarded the car and quickly left the place.

"Alexander, you will later meet with Mr. Thurman of the FA in my name to test the attitude of the FA." Zhuke said in the car.

"Okay, boss," Alexander responded.

If you want to acquire a Premier League team, or even a Premier League or League One team, the FA is absolutely incapable of getting around.

For example, when acquiring NBA teams, the NBA official league has the right to suspend trading operations at any time.

Therefore, if Zhuke wants to acquire Manchester United, he must first understand the attitude of the FA. Otherwise, even if Zhuke and Manchester United shareholders reach a deal, once the FA objects, the transaction will be declared invalid.

In 2003, the Russian billionaire Abramovich’s acquisition of Chelsea was delayed for three years because of the opposition from the fans, but the procrastination of the FA is also the key.

"I don't want to lose the deal because of the FA problem!"

After returning to the hotel, Zhu Ke's acquisition team gave Zhu Ke a comprehensive introduction to the acquisition plan and details.

Money is definitely the most important thing!

"Boss, Arsenal, who won the Premier League in the 1997-98 season, but even so, Manchester United's market value is the highest among all Premier League clubs." Barrister Zhang Wei said.

Zhuke waved his hand: "How much money do you want?"

"400 to 600 million pounds!"

Hearing that, Rao Zhu Ke had already predicted it, and he couldn't help but be speechless at this moment.

"It's really a lot!"

It should be known that except for the giants of Premier League teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, ordinary Premier League teams have a market value of 100 million pounds in 1998.

In 2003, Abramovich bought Chelsea, but it cost 230 million pounds, of which 80 million pounds, was used to repay the team's debts, that is to say, the real cost of buying Chelsea, which is 150 million pounds.

Teams at the end of the Premier League, such as Coventry and Southampton, have a smaller market value, which is worth 70 million pounds.

The price of Manchester United is much higher than the average Premier League team.

"Boss, we don't have that much cash reserves, but we can use financing and leveraged buyouts to complete the acquisition of Manchester United." Zhang Wei suggested.

Zhuke nodded, expressing his understanding.

In fact, in 2007, the Glazer family of the United States used financing and leveraged buyouts and other means to leverage the financial market with 100 million US dollars of funds and reached the acquisition of Manchester United.

Of course, this financial method has pros and cons!

The advantage is that it costs less funds upfront;

The disadvantage is also obvious, that is, huge debts have to be repaid every year;

In 2007, after the Glazer family acquired Manchester United, Manchester United’s annual transfer fee funds declined year by year, resulting in the attraction of big-name stars, which lags far behind the two giants in La Liga.Moreover, this also directly affected Ronaldo's later departure.

To put it bluntly, it's all money!

Is Zhu Ke rich?

Of course rich!

However, it is impossible for Zhu Ke to use all the liquidity and personal deposits of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group to purchase the Manchester United club. This will have a great negative impact on the operation of the group in the next few years.

--LBO!

Zhuke does not rule out using this method!

After all, this is only a financial method, and it does not violate laws and ethics.

.......

In the following days, Zhu Ke met several times with the senior executives of the Football Association to discuss with them the development plan for the Manchester United club after the acquisition of Manchester United.

However, the result is not ideal!

At least 60% of the senior officials of the Football Association have clear objections.

FA Secretary-General Dotiange: "I don't deny that Zucker Wald is very good. He has gained such an amazing net worth in just over two years. No one can say that he is not good, but football is football after all. At this point, I can't believe him."

Tomi Lewansky, vice president of the FA Executive Committee, also expressed opposition.

"Zuke Wald is too young. His previous resume does not prove that he will be a qualified club chairman."

Well, most senior executives are against it.

Even the representatives of the British royal family in the FA are strongly opposed!

"Manchester United is the team with the highest value in the British supermarket and the most well-known football club in the entire world. It is a symbol and pride of our British football. I can't believe how bad it will be after giving it to a young man. situation!"

"Of course, it may be more brilliant, but there is a high probability that it will go to a trough and even die!"

"My friends, we can't afford to bet on this game!"

In this way, the first voting meeting of the Football Association on Zhu Ke's acquisition of Manchester United ended with 72% of the votes against.

In private, some senior officials in the Football Association even sneered at Zhu Ke, calling Zhu Ke a "hairy boy".

"Damn~!"

Zhuke is a bit aggrieved!

I was humiliated~humiliated~!

The FA is notoriously inefficient when looking at Europe. Often a vote will last for a long time, even as long as two years. But when it was Zucker's turn, the vote was over in just a few days!

Clean and neat on rare occasions.

What is this for?!

"Too much deception!" Zhu Ke was really angry.

"" The fourth update is sent.
