Heads Up Hollywood

As the CEO of Liverpool Club, Rick Parry has dealt with many wealthy people, and there are countless large companies around the world. However, Dunn Walker in front of him still made him slightly lost in shock.

Compared with Tang En Capital's previous offer of 280 million US dollars, he raised his offer by 70 million US dollars!

Don't even think about it?

Agree without blinking?

Is this the courage of the richest man in the world?

Regarding Tang En's unexpected behavior, even Rick Parry, who had seen the world, would be secretly shocked.

Tang En smiled and said, "What? Are you still not satisfied with the price of 350 million US dollars?"

"Huh? Satisfied, very satisfied."

Only then did Rick Parry come to his senses, he quickly stood up, stretched out his hands, and shook hands with Tang En, with unconcealable surprise in his eyes.

This young man...is amazing!

Tang En shook his hand heavily, and jokingly said, "I thought you were going to continue to raise the offer."

Rick Parry said awkwardly: "I just... didn't expect you to agree so quickly."

Tang En said sternly: "June is almost here, and the transfer window is about to begin. The acquisition of the club must be completed as soon as possible, so as not to affect the normal construction of the team next season. Although there will be more rounds of negotiations, more With a few hagglings, I might be able to save tens of millions of dollars, but that doesn't matter compared to the results of the team."

Rick Parry was almost in tears.

What a good boss!

Too sensible!

Thinking of the ridiculous incident that Arsenal pulled out some time ago, it is really contemptuous.

The opportunity that Arsenal can't seize, Liverpool must firmly grasp it!

In just a few words, Rick Parry could clearly feel Tang En's support for the team and his lavish financial investment.

Liverpool has no lack of background, no lack of strength, no lack of qualifications to attract big-name players, what is lacking...only money!

With Tang En, all problems will be solved!

The revival of Liverpool's glory days sweeping Europe in the 1980s seems to be just around the corner.

"Are you sure you can convince the board of directors with an offer of US$350 million?" Dunn stared at him deeply.

Rick Parry said firmly: "It's definitely no problem. The US$350 million is already more than 200 million pounds. To be honest, the minimum guarantee requirement of the board of directors is 200 million pounds."

Hearing this, Tang En couldn't help snickering in his heart.

Buy the bottom!

In the past so many years, Dunn has bought many companies, such as Apple, Google, Amazon, and many Hollywood movies and TV series, Dolby Laboratories, Pixar, imax...

The reason why he was able to become the richest man in the world within a few years is that he used his foresight to keep buying bottoms!

This time, his hand reached into the world of football!

The first hand is to buy Liverpool!

Is the $350 million price tag high?

In the previous life, in 2007, two American businessmen, George Gillette and Tom Hicks, borrowed to buy Liverpool at a price of 470 million pounds! Over $700 million!

The main reason is that within the past three years, under the leadership of Benitez, Liverpool has completed its recovery, and has been favored by sponsors. It has reached the Champions League final twice, won the trophy once, and the club's revenue has doubled.

The Champions League championship in the 04-05 season alone made the team a profit of 70 million euros!

Completing the acquisition before Benitez took over Liverpool is the biggest bargain!

Tang En was secretly happy in his heart, but his face remained calm. He invited him to sit down again, and said in a calm manner: "How long will it take at the earliest for the club to change hands?"

Rick Parry said: "The procedures are more complicated, but I used to be the CEO of the Premier League and have maintained a good relationship. If I push it hard, it should be completed within 3 months."

Tang En said displeasedly: "3 months? Isn't it already the end of August? The new season has already started!"

Rick Parry said embarrassingly: "It will be early August at the earliest. If...the tax issue can be taken care of like Chelsea's Abramovich, maybe it can be a little faster."

Tang En understood it as soon as he heard it.

For the acquisition of US$350 million, Liverpool has to pay a lot of taxes for it. This requires long-term research by the tax department to maximize tax avoidance and consider the interests of shareholders.

But Abu is different, bear all the seller's taxes!

Don't waste time researching various tax avoidance schemes, it's important to complete the handover quickly!

So as not to delay the team's transfer period!

However, this will also cost you a lot more.

"How much does it cost?" Tang En didn't bother to worry about it, so he asked directly.

Abramovich, the richest man in the world, can do anything that a local tycoon in Russia can do!

For the team, everything can be compromised!

Rick Parry was almost stunned by rounds of surprises, and said in disbelief: "Mr. Walker, you... are you really willing to bear this tax?"

Tang En waved his hand, and said flatly: "Compared to my high hopes for Liverpool, petty profits are nothing."

Rick Parry once again felt Tang En's courage, took a deep breath, and said: "If this is the case, you still need to pay an additional 40 million to 50 million US dollars."

"No problem. How long can I control the club in this situation?"

"Mid-July!"

"good!"

Tang En let out a low shout of excitement.

Mid-July is the busiest time in the transfer market.

It's not too late to enter at this time!

The Premier League will start in mid-August. It is necessary to determine the team lineup as soon as possible, buy players and prepare for the pre-season.

"By the way, I haven't read Liverpool's financial statement yet. How much is the team's transfer budget for a season?" Tang En thought about it.

Rick Parry frowned and said: "Last season, the team had no Champions League games, so the budget was limited, only 20 million pounds, but in the end it lost 3 million pounds, which is equivalent to an available budget of 17 million pounds. Next season, We will participate in the Champions League, and the initial estimate is that the transfer budget will not be less than £25 million."

"25 million pounds..."

Tang En sighed and shook his head.

The British No. 1 giant can only squeeze out a transfer fee of 25 million pounds in a season... It's really shabby.

"By the way, when I was in England, I read in the newspaper that the team will change the head coach next season?"

"Well, we are negotiating. We intend to bring the head coach of Valencia in La Liga, Rafa Benitez, to Anfield. Last season, he led Valencia to win the La Liga championship and the UEFA Cup. Throughout the entire In European football, such achievements are second only to Mourinho and Wenger."

"Benitez...well, yes. I will not move a single point of the transfer budget of 25 million pounds. I will hand it all over to the next head coach to expand his lineup."

Rick Parry nodded again and again.

There were too many surprises before, so that such a slightly reasonable benefit seemed appropriate to him.

Twain is obviously not what the media reported, he wants to destroy the team.

On the contrary, he is doing his best!

Take a look, what did the British media say when Abramovich bought Chelsea last year?

Scold him like a bloody sprinkler!

As a result, Chelsea finished second in the Premier League this past season, behind undefeated Arsenal.

Moreover, the Champions League champion coach Mourinho has also publicly stated in the media that he wants to join Chelsea!

The blue army has a savior, and the red army... also has a leader!

In Rick Parry's view, Twain is the best hope for Liverpool's revival!

"However, the budget of 25 million pounds is too small." Tang En shook his head. "For teams like Manchester United and Real Madrid, this amount of money is only enough to buy a top star. You may not know me, but you must have seen it." my movie."

"right."

Rick Parry couldn't hide the ecstasy in his heart, he could already hear it, Twain... This is an intentional big investment, to buy more excellent players in the transfer market!

Tang En said proudly: "The movies I make, commercial movies, must be the most profitable! Literary and artistic movies must be at the Oscar level! In the same way, my team... must become the world's number one in business. In terms of performance, we must also show a faith-like desire for the championship!"

Rick Parry agreed very much: "Yes, the prerequisites for all of these are the team's achievements! And the reputation of the stars in the team! The current Liverpool lineup is too civilian, and it must be expanded. Transfer investment, expand the lineup!"

In 2004, there was no Financial Fair Play Act.

As long as the boss is willing to spend money, no matter how much money is injected into the team, no one will stop him!

Instead, everyone would like to praise that the team has a good boss.

This is very different from the situation ten years later.

Tang En took a deep look at him, shook his head and smiled, and then said calmly: "You are right, we need to increase investment in transfers, but this is far from enough!"

"not enough?"

Rick Parry's heart skipped a beat. From Tang En's firm and sharp eyes, he seemed to see some kind of self-evident arrogance and ambition.

Tang En said: "New Universal is negotiating a real estate project with the city government of Liverpool. You should have heard that it is a Harry Potter theme park. It requires a large piece of land. However, there is an additional condition in this project. I ask the city government to sell me a piece of land near Stanley Park."

Near Stanley Park... isn't that the address of the new Anfield stadium?

As early as February last year, Liverpool submitted a plan to build a new stadium there that can accommodate 70,000 people to accommodate the growing number of fans.

The stadium quickly received planning permission from the city council and construction could begin at any time.

However, due to lack of funds, the Liverpool Club didn't even have the money to buy the land, so construction was delayed.

Tang En's words...

"You're going to pay for the construction of Stanley Park?"

Rick Parry stood up excitedly, his face flushed, and he couldn't control the excitement in his heart. If he can complete the construction of a new stadium during his tenure, it will be an honor to be remembered in history.

Tang En smiled slightly, "It's a modern new stadium, but it's not a Stanley Park stadium."

Rick Parry immediately said: "Yes, this name is too worthless. It can be called New Anfield, or... New Globe Stadium!"
