Rebirth of England

Perhaps Barron still needs to wait until next year if he wants to truly fully acquire the Manchester United club - just like what the Glazer family did in the previous life.

In the original time and space, the Glazer family took advantage of the internal strife in the Manchester United club. When the club's head coach Ferguson had conflicts with the major shareholders, they used it to win over Ferguson and the team's consultant David Gill to complete the acquisition of Manchester United.

At this time, Ferguson still has a very close relationship with John Magnier and McManus, the majority shareholders of Manchester United.

In fact, the conflict between the two parties is very interesting to talk about. In the final analysis, the problem lies in one horse...

In addition to being the majority shareholder of Manchester United, John Magnier is also a well-known horse racing tycoon in Ireland.

Previously, because of his good relationship with Ferguson, in order to thank him for his contribution to the club, John Magnier gave half the ownership of a racehorse to Ferguson.

This also laid the hidden danger of antagonism between the two sides.

The reason is that this horse named "Rock of Gibraltar" is very famous. He has won the Horse Racing Group A championship for a record seven consecutive times and won more than one million pounds in prizes in various competitions.

And this racing horse will be retired at the end of this year and become an excellent stallion. The stallion and other mares can earn tens of thousands of pounds at a time - it is estimated that "Gibraltar Rock" is expected to bring 50 million to 1 billion pounds in revenue.

Ferguson had always believed that he should share in these profits, but John Magnier believed that Ferguson's ownership was limited to the racecourse and had nothing to do with the stallion profits.

This could involve tens of millions of pounds in revenue, so out of anger, Ferguson directly went to court with John Magnier.

As the club's majority shareholder, John Magnier also publicly accused Ferguson of using his status as the club's head coach to obtain many additional benefits in the club - including his son's agency making huge profits from club transfers. , In addition, Ferguson also has problems with his own contract...

So because of a horse, the two sides were at loggerheads, which eventually led to the Glazer family buying the Manchester United club after wooing Ferguson and the others, thus beginning the history of sucking blood from this club.

Currently, the shares held by DS Capital are second only to Cubic Expression, which owns 28.7% of the shares of Manchester United Club, and it is still absorbing shares at this time. Therefore, at this time, it is basically impossible for the Glazer family to complete the same thing as in the previous life. The acquisition of Manchester United...

However, holding more than 20% of the shares now is still not considered insurance. After all, if the other party really buys the shares held by Cubic Expression by some means, once its shareholding ratio exceeds 75%, it can try to take advantage of the club. Privatization…

Therefore, the current goal of DS Capital is to increase its stake in Manchester United to more than 25%.

In fact, it all depends on how much Barron is willing to pay to buy the Manchester United club. After all, if he really does not hesitate to spend money and directly buys the shares in the hands of other small shareholders, once the shares he holds exceeds the 28.7% held by Cubic Expression ratio, becoming a major shareholder of Manchester United, there are still many ways to dilute the other party's shares - such as increasing capital and expanding shares.

…

Two days after Nigel went to Africa, Barron obtained more detailed information about the "Imperial Shield" military company, and after collecting intelligence, formulated a retaliation plan against the enemy armed organization.

In the end, Barron spent another 15 million pounds to obtain full ownership of the "Imperial Shield" military company. After purchasing a batch of weapons and equipment through arms dealers and handing them over to the armed organizations that cooperated with them, they obtained a local Mining rights for gold mines.

In addition, the "Imperial Shield" military company has also begun to recruit personnel from the British mainland again, and generously purchased two retired Lynx armed helicopters from the military.

The Lynx armed helicopter is an armed helicopter jointly developed and produced by Britain and France in the 1970s. Today, there are still nearly a hundred "Lynx" armed helicopters in service in the British army, but even after Upgraded, but also in the process of being retired...

The latest British armed helicopters are still mainly based on the "Wildcat" helicopters that are the successor of the "Lynx" and the Apache helicopters purchased from the United States.

It's not that Barron doesn't want to equip the "Imperial Shield" military company with more cash-rich armed helicopters such as Apache and Black Hawk. It's mainly because it's not necessary - after all, in Africa at this time, most of the armed organizations they face are Still holding an AK47 and riding in a Toyota pickup truck, the "Lynx" armed helicopter is cheap and has sufficient performance to deal with the black brothers who come and go like the wind.

If you really buy an Apache, Black Hawk, etc., and the other party is so lucky, you can fight with an RPG, and the whole "Black Hawk Down" will be heartbreaking.

So with the help of the "Imperial Shield", the armed organization they cooperated with defeated the hostile organization in one fell swoop in subsequent actions.

At this point, Melvin Coy, the founder of the "Imperial Shield" military company, completed the handover of the company and returned to England after his physical condition improved.

After receiving more than 10 million pounds from Barron to purchase the "Empire Shield" military company, Melvin Coy is also preparing to return to his hometown of Scotland, buy a piece of land, and take good care of his body.

After being acquired, the "Imperial Shield" military company was renamed "Protector" Military Services Company. This company will be held by an offshore company registered by Barron. Originally Melvin Coy's deputy Markel Paul Wilson becomes Protector's military chief - he will be primarily responsible for Protector's African affairs.

In addition, Barron's security consultant Frank Walter serves as the security director of the Protector Company. He will be responsible for recruiting veterans, special police and other personnel in Britain to form the Protector Company's military contracting department. These people will soon go to Iraq. Undertake part of the auxiliary work of the British army.

Yes, as early as April 9, the US-British coalition forces occupied Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, which also represented the official fall of Saddam Hussein's regime.

After the occupation of Baghdad and the establishment of the Iraqi transitional government, it was not the end of the Iraq War, but the beginning of another phase - this phase will last for twenty years until the rebirth of Barron in his previous life. Although the United States has promised Many times, we have to completely withdraw our troops from Iraq, but we still maintain a military presence there.

At this stage, the problems they face are no less than the war against Saddam's regime - after all, they were visible enemies before, but after that, countless small organizations continued to attack and harass...

At this time, it was also time for the US-UK coalition to gradually reduce its regular military presence and begin to rely on private military contractors to complete their personnel, security and even offensive tasks in the city.

As for the Duke of Westminster, who was acquainted with Barron and was already serving as the Assistant Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Defense, Protector Military Services Company also obtained an employment contract from the British government. Next, they will send out the first batch of more than 100 troops. Human security forces are responsible for going to Basra to protect some British personnel.

After occupying Basra, the most important port city in southern Iraq, the main force of the British army was stationed here. It can be said that this city will also be the main stationing location of the British army in the future, and the business of the Protector Company will also first start from unfold here.
