From retail to global domination

What surprised Zhang Yang most was that Lewis actually agreed to sell Tottenham to him.

Well, he really didn't expect that.

In his last life, there were quite a few people who came to him to buy the club, including wealthy people from the Middle East and those from Eagle Sauce. Not to mention Abu, these were all owners who were not short of money, but this guy just refused to sell.

Of course, he was not short of the money. The most important thing was that Levi would not let Lewis sell it. The two were the best friends.

However, after Zhang Yang proposed to acquire Tottenham, Lewis only considered it and chose to sell.

Because he also wanted to be on good terms with Zhang Yang, and besides, he really didn’t have that much love for football, so he just sold it.

"Of course Mr. Zhang, I have a condition." Lewis sat up straight and looked at Zhang Yang.

"Mr. Lewis, please speak."

"If Mr. Zhang acquires Tottenham Club, I hope that Levi will continue to be the chairman. After all, Mr. Zhang cannot always stay in Europe to manage the club, right?" Although the club has been sold, Lewis will not leave his friends easily.

Levi is a fan of Tottenham, otherwise with his ability, he can become the CEO of a company.

Daniel Levy was born in a retail family. As a student, he worked hard to earn a first-class degree from Cambridge University. After graduation, he did not settle for old age in the family business, but devoted himself to the real estate industry and got to know life.

The nobleman Lewis.

In the 1990s, European clubs were listed one after another. The Jewish gene allowed Levi, who was in his early 30s, to smell the budding football business. He and his master Lewis jointly established ENIC, which was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1997. After several capital operations, the shareholding structure

It eventually evolved into Lewis 70.6% and Levi 29.4%.

One of the main businesses of enic is to build a football business empire. It can be said to be the ancestor of Red Bull and City Group. It has invested in Rangers (25.1%), Slavia Prague (96.7%), and Aek Athens (47%) through the acquisition of equity.

), Vicenza (99.9%) and Basel (50%), and has also tried to acquire Manchester United and Wembley Stadium.

In the end, Levi chose the team he had supported since childhood as the crown jewel of the group.

At the end of 2000, ENIC acquired 27% of Tottenham's shares for 22 million pounds. The 38-year-old Levy entered the Tottenham board of directors as he wished and became chairman a year later. After that, ENIC gradually increased its stake in the team until it held shares in 2007.

85%, the total cost before and after is about 50 million.

In other words, if Zhang Yang does not acquire Tottenham, Levi's shareholding ratio will reach 85% next year. However, it is a pity that Zhang Yang's sudden appearance broke this guy's fantasy.

In fact, the shrewd Lewis has no idea what Levi is thinking. Whether he wants to give or not depends entirely on Lewis.

In the end, he helped Levi.

"Okay, no problem." In Zhang Yang's view, Levi will definitely leave after he acquires the club, because he has no chance to get Tottenham anymore.

In this way, the two signed a transfer contract, and 200 million pounds was transferred into Lewis's account.

Lewis will give part of the 200 million pounds to Levi.

Naturally, Lewis would not keep the portion that others deserved, and besides, he couldn't keep it to himself either.

After the contract was signed, the two had a meal on the yacht, and then Zhang Yang took Zhang Qian back to the hotel. Tomorrow he would go to the club to take up his post. Let's mentally prepare Levi for today.

Does Zhang Yang think he is still very considerate?

Levi was dumbfounded when he heard that Lewis had sold the club. He was really dumbfounded.

Why did you just sell it without discussing it with him beforehand?

Well, Levi was very angry inside at this time, really angry, even though the person in front of him was the person he respected the most.

But no matter how angry I was, I didn't dare to show it.

He still needs to rely on Lewis!

It's just so helpless.

He didn't want to either, but in the end reason prevailed over impulse.

"I'm sorry, I really can't refuse the person who made the purchase this time. If

If you want any of my other teams, I can give them to you!" Lewis sighed.

This time he really couldn't refuse because the other party was Zhang Yang.

A young business genius, ten years later, this guy will definitely be a business leader.

So even if it would make his friends and apprentices dissatisfied, he had to do it because he was first of all a businessman and a Jewish businessman.

In the face of profit, there is nothing they cannot sell.

As long as the price is reasonable.

Obviously, Zhang Yang meets Lewis's standards.

It's not that the money this guy offered was reasonable, it was his potential that forced Lewis to do better.

It is conceivable that if he rejects Zhang Yang, there will definitely be no chance of cooperation in the future, especially since Zhang Yang is still so young. Young people like to hold grudges, so don't try to trick him when the time comes.

In the business world, Lewis is well-known, but he is definitely not a rival to Zhang Yan.

Although it feels a little regretful, it is a fact.

Zhang Yang's reputation is so great that teenagers all over the world are his idols. In the future, these young people will have great purchasing power when they join the workforce.

This is also the reason why Lewis is so friendly with Zhang Yang. He can only rise, there will be no troughs, especially because this group of young people have grown up.

"The Eagle Sauce consortium?" In Levi's opinion, only those Eagle Sauce consortiums would make Lewis unable to refuse. In fact, he actually hoped that Lewis would sell the club to the oil tycoons in the Middle East.

Because these oil tycoons have money and are willing to invest.

Spending hundreds of millions to sell players without losing your temper.

These guys are really rich. They don't even think about how to make a profit, they just think about how to spend their money.

No, how can we spend the money quickly, otherwise they will feel uncomfortable.

Everything is sold at the most expensive price, not the best.

In other words, how many of the most expensive ones are bad?

As for the Eagle Sauce Consortium, they only want to make money. In their eyes, everything is a commodity, without that purity.

Investing in football clubs is also about making money.

Levi is a fan and a Tottenham fan. He certainly doesn't want Tottenham to get worse or even be relegated.

But now he doesn't have the capital to participate, so he can only watch from the sidelines, how helpless.

Through this incident, Levi also understood the truth that power must be in his own hands, otherwise you are just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

No one will be with you easily, not even Lewis, his most trusted teacher and friend.

The two have a relationship as both teachers and friends.

Lewis is very optimistic about Levi.

"Zhang Yang." Lewis didn't hide it. He believed that Levi should understand him when he heard this name.

Sure enough, Levi was startled for a moment, then relaxed.

That's right, let alone Lewis, even he who loves football and Tottenham probably couldn't refuse when he heard that Zhang Yang wanted to buy the team.

This is so flamboyant, which businessman wouldn’t want to know him?

This is even better than knowing Bill, and this is true at all.

They really don't need to be friends with Bill if they are not engaged in the Internet, but in the industry that Zhang Yang is engaged in, the two parties may have opportunities to cooperate in the future.

If this is the case, Lewis's business community may expand again in his later years.

Lewis, who had already lost the fight, felt a new fire in his heart.

This is an opportunity, an opportunity that must be seized.

"I would sell it if it were me." Levi smiled bitterly.

I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed.

He doesn't know what will happen to Tottenham in the hands of Zhang Yang, because Zhang Yang is also a businessman, and he is not one of those Middle Eastern rich people who have money and nowhere to spend it.

He wants to gain profits every step of the way, otherwise he would not acquire Tottenham.

But what can he say.

"By the way, Zhang Yang agrees that you will continue to be the manager of Tottenham Hotspur.

Sir, he won't be able to stay in Europe for long, and you will still be in charge of Tottenham in the future." Lewis comforted Levi.

Levi was startled. He didn't expect that he could still stay in the club?

But then I thought about it, how could Zhang Yang stay at Tottenham for a long time.

His huge business empire has just started, how could he stay for Tottenham?

But now the question arises, should he stay or leave too?

It is unrealistic to completely control the club, and Zhang Yang will not give him this opportunity at all.

Even if he leaves, he won't worry about finding a job. Besides, he still has money in his hand. If he likes football, he can buy a team of his own.

I need to think about this carefully after I go back tonight.

Of course, even if I leave, I can't leave so quickly. I have to hand over the situation anyway.

To be honest, he is a little reluctant to leave Tottenham. After all, this is his favorite team. How much he wants to continue playing with Tottenham and turn Tottenham into a wealthy team.

If he is allowed to take control of Tottenham, he is confident that Tottenham will become a wealthy team twenty years later.

This is Levi's confidence.

"Master, I'll go back and think about it first." Levi doesn't want to stay any longer. There's no point. The friendship between him and Lewis will probably come to a successful end.

When Lewis heard Levi calling his master, he naturally knew what he was thinking, but he didn't explain much, but sighed: "Okay, you go back and think about it."

Next, Lewis no longer mentioned anything to Levi's team.

This guy is planning to get off the ship and give him a piece of wool.

Well, this is businessman, so realistic.

Levi bowed before leaving. No matter what, he would have to thank Lewis, and Lewis would not be where he is today.

Does Levi currently have more money in his hands? He still has 50 million pounds.

What are these funds insufficient for?

When it comes to starting a business or acquiring a Premier League team, if you can't acquire a wealthy or quasi-rich club, you'll still have trouble acquiring an ordinary club.

When he got home, Levi lay on the bed without saying anything, frightening his wife and asking what was wrong.

Levi explained the cause and effect, and finally the wife expressed her support for her husband's choice.

Even if it is a new team, she supports it.

That night, Levi thought a lot and couldn't fall asleep until half the night.

Should you leave or stay?

It’s really hard to choose!

The next day, Levi drove his car to Tottenham Club.

Just as I walked into the office, the secretary came to report that a gentleman named Zhang was looking for me.

As for who it was, Levi had already guessed it.

Although he felt very uncomfortable, he couldn't show it in front of Zhang Yang, as he couldn't afford to offend him.

As long as he is involved in the business world, it will be too easy for the other party to cause trouble for him. When the capital reaches a certain level, especially in Western countries, it will be a terrifying existence, and he can even participate in elections. This is no joke.

Moreover, Zhang Yang is still very young, especially young. Being young means being energetic and holding grudges, so Levi doesn't dare to offend him.

Levi then asked the secretary where Mr. Zhang was, and then went to take over.

The secretary was stunned. What was the background of this young man named Zhang? Even if the big boss came, Levi would not go out to greet him with his own children. She was very curious.

But then Zhang Yang satisfied his curiosity.

"Welcome Mr. Zhang to the company, no, I should call you boss now." Levi stepped forward and quickly stretched out his hands, greeting Zhang Yang warmly.

Regardless of whether he leaves or not, he still wants to make friends with Zhang Yang.

"Chairman Levi, you're welcome. Mr. Lewis has told you, right?" Zhang Yang wasn't sure how much Levi knew, so he asked.

"Well, the master took it as what I said, we will talk in the office." Levi looked at the beautiful woman next to Zhang Yang and said nothing.

For a young man like Zhang Yang, it is normal for him to have several beauties around him, but it would be abnormal to have none.

Look at his secretary, isn't it the same? She is beautiful and charming, and most importantly, she is active and enthusiastic at work. Levi is very satisfied and plans to give her a salary increase recently. Unfortunately, the team has changed owners!

Secretary Levi was startled, boss?

Could it be that the team was bought by this young man?

Who is he so rich?

And just now Mr. Levi called him Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang?

Suddenly, the secretary seemed to have thought of something, and her face showed an expression of uncertainty.

Zhang Yang, the 19-year-old richest man in the world.

Also, Europe is all one year old.

The richest man in the world. I didn’t expect that the richest man in the world actually bought the Tottenham Hotspur team. The most important thing is that he is so handsome. If you sleep with him, you will have nothing to worry about in your life.

If Levi knew what this bitch was thinking, he probably wouldn't be able to get a salary increase.

Damn it, I'm here thinking about how to raise your salary, but you're thinking about how to have sex with your boss?

My uncle couldn't bear it, but my aunt couldn't.

"Mr. Zhang, can you tell me about your plans for Tottenham?" After arriving at the office, Levi planned to ask clearly before choosing whether to leave.

He loves Tottenham very much, very much, even if he has to bear the stigma.

So if Zhang Yang's plan allows him to see Tottenham's future, he will choose to stay and help Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang was startled.

He was a little confused, under what circumstances, does this guy still want to stay?

In fact, Zhang Yang was also considering whether to keep this position, but he did a lot of tricks in the future.

"Spend 500 million pounds to build a stadium with 70,000 people, pay attention to youth training, spend 200 million pounds to acquire players, and find a famous coach." Zhang Yang did not hide it. If this person really wanted to stay, he would not refuse, but

He will never be allowed to make some outrageous moves for the sake of loving Tottenham.

Levi was startled.

What a big deal.

With 500 million pounds to build a stadium and 200 million pounds to buy players, this is simply the second Abramovich, no, he is richer than Abramovich, and he deserves to be the richest man in the world.

"Boss, I want to stay and witness the miracle with you..."
