Indulge in Life in America
Chapter 883: Texas Hold'em Invitational
After the great success of the NFL, the Glazer family did not know which muscle was violent. They felt that the small pool of NFL could not stop themselves, and began to extend their grip on the world's number one sport-football.
As an American family with purely Jewish ancestry, football, baseball, and ice hockey are their most familiar sports. As for football? What is that stuff?
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, anyway, they know this thing can make money, that’s enough, and then the Glazer family took the old business routine and chose Manchester United among the many European teams!
The reason for choosing Manchester United is that at that time Manchester United was the most confusing equity among the European giants, and the first and second largest shareholders were in a long-term civil war, so Glazer took the shot. At this moment, they suddenly They found that they had no money. To be precise, the value of Manchester United far exceeded their expectations, and they seemed to be unable to afford it.
How to do? Give up? Of course not, the shrewd Jews have never given up on this idea in doing business.
No money? If you don’t have any money, just take a loan. Anyway, the bank has money.
So the Glazer family borrowed 285 million from the bank and 275 million from the three major hedge funds. Since 2003, they successively secretly acquired 9.9% of Manchester United's shares, and then cleverly used the conflicts between shareholders to General manager David Gill was internally responding and got 30% of the shares of the first and second largest shareholder.
In the face of a huge money offensive, the third largest shareholder and retail investors chose to succumb, and soon more than 75% of Manchester United’s shares went to Glazer and officially announced its delisting from the London Stock Exchange.
Aside from other factors, this is a beautiful financial war, but the price paid is obvious. A loan of 560 million yuan is not 5 yuan, and it also faces high interest rates. Of course, the Glazer family really lost Not much, at best fame, but fame is worthless in the eyes of the Glazer family.
After all, the Glazer family used Manchester United to acquire Manchester United. To start with this rather circumstance, it means that the Glazer family first fooled banks and hedge funds. I want to buy Manchester United, which is the greatest football in Europe and the world. The club, there is no doubt about the earning power, but now I have no money, can you provide some help? Of course the interest to be paid still has to be paid.
Banks and hedge funds heard, shit, are you going to buy Manchester United? Courageous, no problem, no problem, isn’t it just money? Interest is easy to say, just 2.5 points. This is a friendly price. What mortgage do you Glazers use?
The Glazer family thought for a while, let’s use Manchester United’s shares as a mortgage. Anyway, if we succeed in the acquisition, we have to borrow money from you to invest. They are all the same, but the order is reversed.
Banks and hedge funds naturally did not have any hesitation in the face of this unprofitable transaction, and decisively agreed to the acquisition.
All in all, in a sense, Glazer bought Manchester United with the money from Manchester United as a mortgage, and once again played the classic empty glove white wolf, and Manchester United became an out-and-out "sold and returned money." people".
Then Manchester United began the process of helping the Glazer family to repay the loan in the next ten years. However, the Glazer family, whose heads are all golden, is how it is possible to repay the debt with all the ability to make high loans. Like people, since the Glazer family has the ability to take out huge loans, they must have the ability to delay repayment for decades. As long as Manchester United is in hand, the Glazer family will not worry about being forced into debt by creditors. The debt is "only" more than 300 million left.
In other words, Glazer has only repaid 200 million in debt in the ten years since it acquired Manchester United in 2005. How much wealth has Manchester United created in these ten years? A conservative estimate is also 800 million pounds! So where did the money go?
I can’t run long legs by myself, the answer is obvious~
Now that the old Glazer has passed away, Manchester United is jointly owned by Joel and Everlam. Last year, the brothers drew $30 million in cash dividends from Manchester United and bought a super yacht. , So to speak, they are out of money again!
If there is no money, what is the confidence to challenge Yang Cheng?
Joel Glazer, who was not stunned by Yang Cheng for a few words, had no other actions except staring at his big eyes and venting his breath. He had the intention to fight Yang Cheng, but it was a pity that he was not right, afraid of being killed.
Why did the style of painting suddenly become a little strange, Yang Cheng stalked her neck and looked fierce and undaunted, while Glazer was staring and panting, trying to do something, but her feet were motionless, everyone's eyes Moving back and forth between these two people, but they are not surprised, anyway, the hatred between Manchester United and Liverpool is deep enough that the two can't fight too much.
Of course, it is not only the Liverpool family that is unhappy with Manchester United. Chelsea are also the main oppression of Manchester United all year round. Ferguson can at least hold the scene. Now that Ferguson has gone home to support his life, Abramovich will naturally not save face for Manchester United, and he He has a good relationship with Yang Orange, and he sneered sarcastically, "I think Jason is right. It's better to go back and pay off the debt with this time. The club's performance is never measured by the sound level."
The fact that the Glazer family owes the bank hundreds of millions of dollars is clear to the fans, let alone these bigwigs?
"Hey, Roman, are you jealous of Manchester United's champions more than Chelsea?" Joel is really not afraid of death. He was stunned by Yang Cheng. There is nothing to say. Now he is confronted with Abu again, regardless of his lack of money. , But the ability to pull hatred is one-to-one, so the effort will offend the two giants in the Premier League big6, of course, the relationship between them was not good.
As the initiator of the party, Rummenigge is not good at making the scene too rigid, and Bayern and Manchester United have cooperated a lot in recent years. He quickly stepped up to make a round of it. It’s not easy for everyone to get together. Why don’t we play something to help?"
Rummenigge’s proposal has been unanimously agreed by everyone, especially Yang Cheng and Abu, the two guys who are full of bad water have a pair of eyes, and they have a bad idea. It is natural to play games. Joel Glazer had a heart attack and counted them as losing.
Yang Cheng responded positively, "This is a great idea, what shall we play with?"
Rummenigge grinned, "I don't know if you are interested in Texas Hold'em? To be honest, I am a loyal fan of Texas Hold'em. Although I am not up to the level of professional players, I still love it very much. It happens to be at Yate tonight. Landis Hotel will hold a poker tournament, a group of professional players will compete for the championship and a prize of 1 million US dollars. Why don't we simply play and guess who will win the championship?"
Sure enough, the charm of Texas Hold'em is comparable to that of beauties. The big guys showed wretched smiles. Of course, it was Yang Cheng and Abu who laughed the happiest. In their eyes, Joel Glazer was going to be out of luck tonight.
The game starts at night, and the rest of the time is naturally left for the big guys to operate. What is the operation? Don't be naive, everyone is for the sake of face, and losing is too ugly but it is very embarrassing, so it is very necessary to meet with the players who are participating tonight to get in touch and give advice.
Well, the real purpose is self-evident. Since you want to play, you have to play something big. Although the paper champion only has a $1 million prize, privately, the big guys can promise more, such as the players they wooed. It is very normal to win the championship and reward twice or even three times the prize money in private. It is very normal to encounter those who can't afford to lose. The life threat of the poker player is also common. What is the red eye loss in the du field? Can't do it, let alone these big bosses who spend money like dirt on weekdays.
Regarding Texas Hold’em poker, Yang Cheng’s level is not good. At most, he can play. It’s okay to bully newbies or play with a bunch of amateur players. As for the tips and tricks inside, I don’t know. Many, so he rarely ends up playing in person, but this does not prevent him from finding great players.
Everyone decided to gather in the du hall at night, and then left by car. Some people did not live in Atlantis, but they all had the same destination at this time.
Yang Cheng returned to the hotel room and found that there was no one. It was estimated that he had gone out to play, so he had to call Raham to ask him to come back. Of course he could not personally come forward with this kind of thing.
Then called the exclusive butler, a young British guy.
"Sir, what can I do for you."
Yang Cheng sat on the sofa~www.wuxiaspot.com~ staring at the phone without looking up, "Is there a game in the du hall tonight?"
The butler said, "Yes, sir, a Texas Hold'em Invitational. The participants are the champions of the wsop in the past years and some powerful players, who are competing for millions of dollars in rewards."
Yang Cheng nodded, "I need a list of participants. It is best to attach relevant information and strength analysis. Also, you must have opened the handicap for tonight's game?"
The butler replied, "Of course, Sir, I can send you relevant information later. Regarding the handicap tonight, we are more optimistic about Daniel Negrino."
Yang Cheng was stunned. People who play Texas Hold'em naturally knew a lot about Daniel Negrino. This can be called one of the legends of the WSOP (World Series of Poker). Daniel has won 6 WSOP golds so far. Bracelet, there are 2 WPT champions, and it is one of the players with the highest cumulative bonus in the world!
I didn't expect that such a big star could be invited to this tournament.
Yang Cheng is a little bit embarrassed now. He knows that Daniel must be the target of other bigwigs. If he wants to win over Daniel, the price he will pay is definitely not small. The gain is not worth the loss.
Yang Cheng pinched his chin and thought embarrassingly.
Just in time, Raham hurriedly walked into the room in Hawaiian casual clothes, and could smell the piercing perfume on him from far away.
"Boss, I'm back, what's the order?"
