Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

When Lin Hao woke up, it was already afternoon, and his head still hurt a little. He really drank too much last night.

He got up and took a shower, and felt much more awake. When he came to the living room, he saw his parents and Ivanka chatting in the living room.

"Awake, are you hungry? I made porridge for you. You drank so much last night, so eat something light first." Zheng Wanrong said immediately after seeing Lin Hao.

"Thank you, Mom." Lin Hao said with a smile.

Sitting at the dining table, Ivanka immediately served Lin Hao a bowl of porridge. Although it was porridge, it had a lot of dishes. After Lin Hao took it, he immediately gobbled it up.

"Eat slowly." Seeing Lin Hao's look, Zheng Wanrong couldn't help but said.

"I haven't eaten the dishes you made for a long time, Mom." Lin Hao said with a smile.

Hearing Lin Hao's words, Zheng Wanrong said happily: "Whatever you want to eat, Mom will cook it for you."

"Auntie, can I learn to cook from you?" Ivanka asked after hearing the conversation between Lin Hao and Zheng Wanrong.

"Of course." Zheng Wanrong said immediately. She was very satisfied with Ivanka. Now that she heard that Ivanka wanted to learn to cook, she immediately agreed.

After Lin Hao finished his meal, he touched his stomach and felt a little full. "Dad, what are you doing?"

"Your dad has been reading today's newspaper. It's all about yesterday's game, and there are a lot of reports about you. He can't understand it, and he keeps asking me to translate it for him." Zheng Wanrong said.

Lin Fugui heard Zheng Wanrong's words, but ignored it and continued to read it by himself. It was all in English, and he didn't know what he was reading.

"What does the newspaper say?" Lin Hao asked after hearing it.

"I'll read it to you." Hearing Lin Hao's words, Lin Fugui immediately picked up a newspaper. Zheng Wanrong had translated it for him before.

"The focus battle between Manchester United and Chelsea ended with Manchester United 2:1 Chelsea, and the Red Devils continued to lead the standings."

"Lin Hao won the 10 million pounds bet with Abramovich, and Lin Hao said on the spot that all the money would be given to the players and coaches."

"The Red Devils defeated the Blues in the last minute, and the sky of Manchester was still red after all."

"Manchester United owner Lin Hao said that he would invest a huge amount of money to expand Old Trafford so that it could accommodate more than 100,000 people."

"Chelsea owner Abramovich said that winning or losing a game does not mean anything, and Chelsea's goal is to win the Premier League and Champions League."

.....

After reading the last part, Lin Fugui didn't know which one was which, so he simply stopped reading.

Robert and David Gill walked in at this time.

"Boss, we have acquired more than 90% of Manchester United's shares and have launched a compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares. Once all are acquired, the privatization and delisting can be completed."

Hearing Robert's words, Lin Hao did not expect the speed to be so fast. He originally thought that it would take at least until Christmas. Now it seems that it can be done by the end of the month. Although Lin Hao is now the controlling shareholder, many things must be voted on by the board of directors. Although it is just a formality, the formality must be followed.

Once the privatization and delisting are completed, Manchester United will belong to him completely and he can do whatever he wants.

"Then speed up. Once the delisting operation is completed, inject 300 million pounds into Manchester United's account for various construction projects of the club." Lin Hao said to Robert.

In fact, Manchester United's financial situation is very good and has been profitable. In the 2002/03 season, Manchester United's revenue exceeded 251 million euros (about 313 million US dollars), which exceeded the revenue of any American sports team at the time, and even exceeded the revenue of the New York Yankees, a Major League Baseball team, which had a revenue of about 280 million US dollars at the time and a full-year after-tax profit of about 40 million pounds.

It was just that after winning the Premier League title in the 2002/03 season, there was no success in the following years. In 2004, Arsenal dominated the Premier League with an unbeaten record; in 2005 and 2006, Chelsea won the Premier League title again, and Manchester United only won the FA Cup and League Cup during that period.

Lin Hao absolutely would not allow this situation. If it were to happen, the fans would definitely blame him. Before he came, he was the champion, but after he came, he lost the championship. The angry fans would definitely blame him.

So the team must be strengthened. The transfer period of this season has passed. There is no other way but to do this. However, it must be strengthened next season. In history, after Manchester United was acquired by the Glazer family in 2005, it was burdened with heavy debts.

Such things will not happen now. Lin Hao wants to make Manchester United the top club in the Premier League, whether in terms of club performance or funds.

""Okay, BOSS." Robert said respectfully.

"Of the 300 million pounds, 100 million pounds will be used to strengthen the team and introduce big-name stars, and another 200 million pounds will be used to expand Old Trafford. The club's own funds will be used for other construction of the club." Lin Hao said to David Gill.

Old Trafford was expanded in 2000. Manchester United spent about 32 million pounds to expand the top floor of the West Stand. The stadium capacity reached 68,217 people, becoming the largest stadium in England at the time. Now the capacity wants to reach 100,000+, but it is a big project, and 200 million pounds may not be enough. However, the expansion of the stadium cannot be completed overnight.

With Lin Hao's 200 million pounds, if it is not enough later, the club's own funds can solve it.

As the CEO of Manchester United, David Gill is still very capable. He has developed the club very well over the years. Hearing Lin Hao's words, David Gill was very excited. The world-class rich people are different when they make a move. They make a move of 300 million pounds.

With this 300 million pounds, he is confident that Manchester United will become the best in the world. The team is also very confident about the Champions League.

With the 300 million pounds, Lin Hao's investment in Manchester United has reached 1 billion pounds. It will cost more than 600 million pounds to acquire Manchester United and complete the privatization. However, as long as the privatization acquisition is completed, this deal is still very cost-effective.

Manchester United Club's profitability is still very strong. Regardless of its own value, the annual profit is also a considerable figure. Last season's profit was 40 million pounds. With the increasing influence of the Premier League, this figure will also increase, and it will also increase in value. It will be earned back in a few years.

.....

Next, Lin Hao will stay in Manchester for a few more days. With the end of the game, the city has returned to calm, but this is only temporary. With the arrival of Manchester United's next home, it will be lively again.
