American TV series

Smith really hates Sean's behavior of throwing money at every opportunity!

This made him feel like he was betraying his faith and tradition!

Sean is a devil, using blasphemous words to destroy his own spirit and will, and he is being pulled by him to sink into the abyss little by little.

Because he was shamefully tempted!

"Sean, you are so hateful, you can't do this!" Smith held his head and said with a look of pain.

Sean grinned, laughed silently, reached out and patted Smith's arm, and said kindly: "Don't be like this, it's nothing. The pain is only temporary, bear it and it will pass. You will feel it later."

All that’s left is pleasure!”

"You should think so, your efforts are valuable, and you are promoting the great cause of football to the football desert of the United States."

"You want to let the people in the football desert appreciate the infinite charm of football. Your sacrifice is great and worthy of praise. You will definitely be remembered in football history!"

"This..." After Sean said this, Smith's expression gradually eased from the heartache and depression, "Is this really the case? Sean, you can't lie to me, otherwise my soul will be uneasy!"

"Of course not!" Sean patted his chest seriously and said, "I mean, I'm Sean, and I own the largest cable TV network in the United States, covering a population of 320 million in South America."

"New Century Media has a dedicated sports channel that broadcasts various sports programs around the world. Once I become a shareholder of Arsenal, you only need to think about it to know that I will definitely promote it throughout North America. This is not a matter of course.

Yes!"

"I will promote English League One, and the focus will be on Arsenal. Arsenal is about to open up a new territory, and it will become the club with the most fans in the world!"

"Isn't this promoting football, isn't it for the development of Arsenal?"

Being fooled by Sean, Smith immediately became excited, "Yes, Sean, you are right, why did I forget that you are a media tycoon, and since you like football so much, why don't you promote football!"

"I am sacrificing for football, for England, and for the arsenal. I am great!"

As if he had found the fulcrum of his belief, the guilt in Smith's heart disappeared.

That’s $10 million!

Everyone knows what Arsenal, or in other words English football, is like now.

Let’s just talk about today’s game. There are only 100 seats at Highbury Stadium. Even if the ticket price is discounted, there are only about 100 people attending the game, which is less than 60% of the occupancy rate.

This kind of attendance rate, let alone making money, is simply operating at a loss. It has been losing money for several consecutive years!

The stadium is aging, big-name stars have been lost, its popularity has declined, and the stadium management has encountered great difficulties.

This is Arsenal in London. Other teams are in even worse condition. In the entire English League One, no club is making money.

One third of clubs are on the verge of bankruptcy!

Although this is not the first time I have experienced this, it is still frustrating.

Otherwise, the Hillwood family would not have released some shares just to find someone to take the risk.

To be honest, purely from a value perspective, 10% of Arsenal's shares are not worth US$1 million. Six million is considered high, even if the celebrity effect and social attributes attached to Arsenal's shareholders are taken into account.

…

After all, this is a low period for English football.

Who makes Sean like to throw money at people? He really has no interest in wasting several years on an acquisition project.

To put it bluntly, it costs hundreds of thousands per minute!

Ever since the two reached an agreement, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became cheerful.

The British economy has been in severe recession in recent years. With these 10 million, the Smith family's business will see a turnaround, which is the main reason why he chose to agree.

After all, clubs don't bring wealth.

Sean

He was not in a hurry to sign the transfer agreement with Smith. He just wanted to make a verbal agreement first. He didn't want to alarm the Hillwood family too early.

He still remembered that when Kroenke acquired Arsenal in his previous life, Hillwood once publicly laughed at him, "We don't need people like him. It's simply unimaginable that a Yankee would dare to try to make money from an English football club!"

Sean wants to get the scattered stocks outside first, at least more than 30%.

After leaving the court, Smith, as a local leader, naturally wanted to entertain Sean. Of course, more importantly, he wanted to get closer to Sean.

The person who has risen the fastest in the past ten years, is a super rich man and has a prominent family. A little bit of skin crumbs leaking out of Sean's hands is enough for Smith to eat.

Especially when Sean behaved so generously.

After learning that Sean wanted to become the majority shareholder of Arsenal, Smith took it upon himself to help Sean contact some local small shareholders in London.

Danny Fishman, Olufruth Mendoza, Aku Wilkerson...

Even Sean, a super rich man with a Rockefeller aura, still had two small shareholders who looked at each other with different noses and faces when they met.

It is as if it is a great shame to sell out the shares of the British Football Club to the Yankees.

Open your mouth for honor, shut up for tradition, and turn to centuries-old beliefs at every turn, fully demonstrating the arrogance of the British.

Sean felt like he was very poor.

Of course, all this collapsed on the spot under Sean's money-spending offensive.

In just five days, all the share transfer agreements were finalized, and Sean won 35% of Arsenal shares in one fell swoop.

When the matter has reached this point, it can no longer be concealed, although Sean has been collecting shares as quickly as possible.

An American suddenly acquired shares in an English football club. The news was as if a nuclear bomb had been detonated directly in London.

The crowd is excited!

Arrogance is not unique to the British wealthy class. The entire British society is the same.

Especially in the field of football, the English have always regarded themselves as the inventors of football, the world's largest sport, and their pride is engraved in their bones.

The entrance of the hotel where I checked in was already blocked by reporters who came in droves, which affected the normal business of the hotel.

But the hotel could do nothing to deal with this group of uncrowned kings. Not only did it not dare to expel them, it also required the hotel to provide money and effort to entertain them.

This is not an era in which everyone in the future has channels to have sex. In the current society, you will not even be given a chance to defend yourself if you are blackmailed by the media.

The reporter was really arrogant.

For this situation, the hotel had to contact Sean.

…

"Mr. Sean, it's really, really, really not going to work. You must hold a press conference." The general manager of the hotel looked sad and was about to kneel down to Sean.

"Why doesn't it work? The Germans are attacking again?" Sean looked at the hotel manager with a half-smile.

"It's more serious than this!" The hotel manager rushed to the window in three steps at a time, pointing outside and said: "It's not just the reporters, but mainly the angry fans outside, Mr. Sean."

"Look, two nearby streets have been completely blocked by angry fans. Although the police are trying their best to maintain order, more than 80 fan fights have occurred in just a few hours, and many people have been injured."

Sean???

No, what the hell is a fan fight?

Sean walked to the window and looked out. The streets were densely packed with people, like ants.

Facing Sean's question, the hotel manager had a strange look on his face. He coughed lightly and then said: "It's mainly Tottenham fans who laugh at Arsenal fans."

"Scoffing?" Sean spread his hands to express his incomprehension.

…

On the street below, fans of Arsenal's arch-rival Tottenham gathered and jeered loudly at the Arsenal fans: "Hey, ***, Arsenal has been bought by the Yankees!"

"beautiful

National Arsenal!”

"Ha ha ha ha!"

One sentence can make Arsenal fans' eyes red and they charge like angry bulls.

A chaotic fight ensued!

As an English fan, it is a great shame and shame for the team to be bought by the Yankees!

This is a true blasphemy against the fans’ beliefs!

It's like Koreans shouting at you that Yue Fei suddenly became Korean, and this was recognized by the United Nations.

Tottenham fans not only laughed at it, but also made it into a song and sang it loudly on the spot, with live dancing.

Murder and heart-wrenching!

…

"Shouting to Arsenal fans that the Yankees are buying Arsenal is more outrageous than pointing your nose at your mother and scolding her?" Sean heard the hotel manager's explanation, and the veins on his forehead jumped. Damn it, what do you mean?

Doesn’t this mean that your name is like a horse made of grass and mud?

This is so insulting!

Sean was so angry on the spot that he didn't even know who to vent his anger on.

Turning his head and looking at the hotel manager, Sean suddenly asked: "Then whose fan are you?"

Ahem, the hotel cleaner coughed lightly. Although the hotel is now facing serious troubles, the hotel manager still couldn't hide the smile on his face. He raised his arms and shouted "Forever White Lily!"

Sean: Damn it!

Sean is now very suspicious. The guy in front of him is actually laughing at the Arsenal people in his heart.

Damn Fuck!

He is really experienced and a crazy fan.

…

Not only was the hotel Sean was staying at besieged, but the situation at Arsenal was even worse.

More than 2,000 Arsenal fans directly surrounded the club's gate, hung out various banners, and asked the Hillwood family to come out immediately to explain the current situation.

They asked the Hillwood family to kick the Yankees off the board. The sacred English football cannot be tarnished by stupid Yankees!

At this moment, Peter Hillwood, who received the news, was also a little dumbfounded. How come the shares were suddenly acquired by Sean.

…

To be honest, Peter Hillwood was confused when he learned the news, and he was confused and angry.

Arsenal is like a child to the Hillwood family. The child was suddenly sneaked in from behind by a rude American man. As the father of the child, of course he was very angry.

54-year-old Peter Hillwood is not only the owner of Arsenal, but also a banker engaged in financial investment business.

If the person who made the acquisition had not been Sean, and if Sean had not been backed by Rockefeller, Peter Hillwood would definitely have done something that was openly ridiculed by now.

In future generations, a 70-year-old man would still fire a map cannon and laugh at the Americans.

"Dunn, what do you think the Yankee's idea is?" Peter Hillwood looked at his friend and team vice president David Dunn.

Peter Hillwood is the team chairman, but he has his own job, so the actual manager of the team is David Dunn.

David Dunn is also a shareholder of the team, and the shares come from Peter Hillwood.

At the same time, David Dunn was also a candy merchant.

This phenomenon is very common among major European clubs, such as Real Madrid chairman Florentino is also the owner of Europe's largest construction company, and AC Milan owner and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

They are all using the unparalleled influence brought by football to support their career development.

Football in Europe is not only a sport, but also penetrates into all aspects of life. Every president in Europe must be a fan. If you are not a fan, you will not be able to win the election.

That's how serious it is!

"My suggestion is not to rush. It's too sudden. I want to appease the fans, and then talk to Mr. Sean to see what he means. I can achieve such great success in such a short period of time. I believe that Mr. Sean

The gentleman cannot be as reckless and violent as the legend says.

There must be some special purpose."

"Then...you go and see the American first instead of me." Peter Hillwood said with a snort.

…

At the same time, Prime Minister Major was also confused, "What does Sean want to do? Acquire Arsenal. Does he think this will cause trouble for my election?"

"That guy is cruel and cunning. I don't think it's that simple."

"No matter what he wants to do, it's okay if he can't do it. Fans won't like a big toy in the hands of a Yankee who doesn't know anything!" Major said evilly: "

Quietly mobilize the media and let our lovely fans cause some chaos for that guy!"

"I see."

…

While the other two parties were preparing countermeasures, the hotel manager, who finally got Sean's consent, hurriedly came down from upstairs to arrange the press conference.

The reporters who received the news rushed in in a hurry. The hotel manager had the foresight to prepare seats at all. More than 300 reporters rushed in. There was no room for them to sit on the scene, so they just stood.

The press conference was as noisy as a vegetable market. They didn't have to wait long before the door at the back was pushed open, and security personnel wearing black combat uniforms and armed security personnel left.

The first eight people held anti-riot shields in their hands and walked directly to the reporters to build a human wall.

…

This was the first time for most people here to see someone holding a gun at a press conference. Many people were startled and whispered: "Damn rude Americans, what do you think of this place?"

Is this treating our reporters as ***? This is disrespectful to reporters."

While cursing, they all raised their cameras and started taking pictures.

After everything was set up, Sean appeared at the press conference wearing a special bulletproof suit.

This suit is a laboratory product, including the shirt inside, which is made of laboratory-grade Kevlar material and can withstand close range shooting from 5.56*45nato machine gun bullets.

Of course, because there is no bulletproof insert plate, the kinetic energy dispersion effect is not good, and it is easy to cause fractures and other injuries.

The reason why the press conference was so well prepared was because someone pretended to be a reporter and killed the old King of Morocco on the spot with a camera disguised as a howitzer.

It is very convenient for reporters to act as killers, and they can target you openly with their cameras.

This had to make Sean be careful, careful, and careful. With so many wives and children, he had no intention of leaving them to others to take care of.

As soon as Sean appeared, the scene immediately became noisy, with many reporters yelling and asking questions. It was so noisy that nothing could be heard clearly.

Standing behind the question desk, Sean bowed slightly and pointed at the microphone in front of him and said: "I think you all know me well. If you don't even know me, then there is no need to be a reporter, because you are too incompetent!

"

"Everyone who has interviewed me knows that I have always been a friend of the media. I can always create topics and achievements for everyone present, and today is no exception. However, as we are in the media, we must follow the rules, so now please

calm down."

When there were more people, there were all kinds of people, but there were still people pushing and making noise.

Sean frowned, grabbed a microphone on the table and pointed it directly in front of the speaker on the side.

"squeak!!!"

A harsh sound sounded, everyone subconsciously turned their heads and covered their ears, and the scene finally became quiet.

"If anyone makes a fucking noise again, don't ask me, just throw them out!" Sean said with a dark face, not taking these uncrowned kings seriously at all.

He was never afraid of someone smearing him, especially when there were groundless speculations. Sean sued him directly until he lost everything.

It was the first time for most people to interview Sean and they were very uncomfortable because it was so brutal.

But precisely because of this ferocity, and because of the American soldiers with live ammunition around them, even though these guys at the scene were dissatisfied, they still stayed honest.

Raising his hand, Sean randomly clicked on one, and the reporter immediately cheered

He asked loudly, "Mr. Sean, you are bringing such bodyguards, and they are all armed with heavy weapons. Is this legal? Don't you think this is disrespectful to the reporters?"

"Your question is very good, don't ask it next time, it's a waste of time!" Sean laughed, "But I am a kind person, so I still answer you. If it is not legal, the London police are more worried than you. The umbrella company is in the United Nations

PMC has obtained a legal license, and the security personnel registered by the company have legal qualifications to hold guns."

"As for the issue of respect, there are too many murderers disguised as journalists to carry out assassinations. Last year, the King of Morocco was killed by a murderer disguised as a journalist. What happened to me paying attention to personal safety? Or, I take such strict protection so that you can't complete it.

Assassination, so you are dissatisfied?"

…

"I have reason to doubt your motive. I don't care which newspaper or radio station you belong to. Give them a travel lawyer's letter." Sean turned to Norris and said, "I will pay 5 million in legal fees for this lawsuit."

The cost is high.”

I was worried that I couldn't find someone to kill the chicken and act like a monkey to let the British reporters get to know me. This guy jumped out and Sean naturally laughed at it.

It’s only US$5 million. Buying a person who doesn’t speak well can avoid a lot of trouble. Sean thinks it’s worth it.

If necessary, 10 million is not impossible!

In a word, the reporter who had just made trouble turned pale, and the press conference fell into a dead silence.

Journalists are not afraid of someone quarreling with them. The louder the quarrel, the better, and it can bring traffic. Generally speaking, it doesn’t matter if someone clamors to mail a lawyer’s letter.

But they are afraid that Sean, who doesn't follow the rules, will be too cruel and take money as money, and it would be terrible to just use money to hit people.

In this kind of public occasion, Sean mentioned 5 million in legal fees, so he would definitely spend so much money. However, both sides of the lawsuit would need to hire lawyers. If the dispute continues, no one will spend less.

He was absolutely miserable for causing such a huge loss to the company.

At this time, the reporters who originally wanted to make things difficult for Sean immediately stopped.

As if nothing had happened, Sean randomly clicked on a Sun reporter.

"Mr. Sean, what is the reason that gave you the idea of ​​acquiring an English football club?"

"Many, first of all, I am a football fan. Although the United States is called the football desert, there are also tall cacti growing in the desert, and I am a fan." Sean said with a smile, "I like sports very much, and I still love sports in the United States.

There is an NBA team, an ice hockey team, and two stadiums. I think people have money and it’s okay to spend some money on their hobbies.”

"Spending money on sports is much more meaningful than the same things like yachts, fine wines, and beautiful women every day. Those things will only make people boring after a long time. I prefer to spend my spare time watching football.

Every game is unknown and every game has surprises."

There was a burst of applause. Regardless of whether you like Sean or not, there is nothing wrong with what he said, although everyone wanted to experience the feeling of boredom.

"Many fans are protesting outside now. They are opposed to an American becoming a shareholder of the team. What do you think about this?"

"Football has no borders. Everyone who likes football can participate. As for whether he is a Yankee or not, it does not depend on me, but on English football itself."

"I also want to simply be a fan, but reality does not allow it. English football is sick, very sick..." As Sean said, the projection equipment that had been prepared behind him started up, and a piece of data

appear on the big screen.

Every year since British football was banned from participating in European competitions in 1985, every club's data has appeared on it.

The data does not lie. British football is in decline, and there is no end in sight. No club in the entire English League One is making money. Most are operating at a loss, and many are on the verge of bankruptcy.

No one has ever made detailed statistics on this. Sean suddenly did this and shocked everyone instantly.

The decline happened bit by bit, like boiling a frog in warm water. No one realized how serious the matter was before.

"I don't know what to do

How to solve the problems encountered by British football, but I know that no matter what method is used to solve it, he needs money, a lot of money, and it happens that I, Sean, are rich, very rich. As a fan, I am willing to do it for myself

My hobby is to contribute to British football."

“Maybe money isn’t everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible!”

"I don't know how much Arsenal spent last year. With Sean here, the budget will double this year!!"

He was rich, but he was so arrogant that he silenced everyone present with just one sentence.

I don’t know if he loves the team or not, but he really dares to pay for it!

At this moment, the hotel manager who was listening to the Tottenham fans was jealous. He also wanted Tottenham to be so rich!

This is not 10 years after the Premier League was founded, and it is not yet the most profitable league in the world.

At this lowest moment, Sean believed that he could use money to smash the legs of all the British people, and the British people would automatically split their legs and welcome him in and out with a smile on his face.

…

Let’s just say you buy football and bet on the longshot, luxury cars drive in, footballs are bought backwards, villas are close to the sea, occasionally buy draws, drive Bugattis, bet heavily on the longshots, and surpass the demolished households...

Today, it all came true!

Japan, overwhelmed by fireworks, has lost 100,000.

Finally, please give me a monthly ticket!

There are only over 1,000 monthly tickets this month, which is too little...

I beg for 2,000 monthly tickets, just give one to each person!
