Rebirth: Starting from selling water to become the world’s richest man

: After twists and turns, the acquisition was completed

“Mr. Li, I currently own 28.1% of Manchester United’s shares.”

Glazer thought for a moment, then slowly said: “Originally, I was not prepared to sell, but if you want it, I can offer it at 8 pounds per share. Sell all the shares.”

“Oh?”

After hearing the price, Li Xianshan couldn’t help but frown.

Glazer is indeed a lion, and the price is several times higher than the market price.

Manchester United’s current share price is about 2.5 pounds per share.

Previously, Li Shanshan purchased 28.7% of the shares from two Irish people at a price of 3 pounds per share.

The excess expenditure is a market premium within the normal range.

However, the price proposed by Glazer was completely beyond the market conditions.

This means that he has confirmed Li Shanshan and is ready to make a lot of money from him.

“Mr. Glazer, your quotation is too much higher than the market price and is somewhat insincere.”

Li Xianshan cut a piece of steak and said while eating.

“Mr. Li, I’m really sincere.”

“You may not know that Abramovich, a wealthy man from the Arctic country, also wanted to buy my shares, but he turned around and bought Chelsea after being rejected.”

Glazer paused. Then he added: “The price I quoted to Abramovich was much higher than it is now.” ”

Oh, that’s it.”

Li Shanshan felt funny in his heart. How could this Glazer have the nerve to say it?

In the previous life, Manchester United actually had the opportunity to welcome a rich new owner, and that was the super-rich Roman Abramovich from the Arctic country.

However, Glazer demanded an exorbitant price, which eventually led to the deal falling through.

Abramovich was so angry that he bought Chelsea, which was still very poor at the time.

With Abramovich’s heavy investment, Chelsea began to return to its peak, while Manchester United missed the opportunity to continue their rich style.

Thinking of this, Li Shanshan asked: “But now that Abramovich has bought Chelsea, there is no competition with me anymore, right?” ”

That’s true, but I just want to show my sincerity.” ”

Mr. Li, you may not know, The tycoons in the Middle East are also interested in football.”

Glazer said mysteriously: “His Excellency Suleiman Alfahi from the Abu Dhabi Consortium is likely to buy a Premier League team. As far as I know, he is very interested in Manchester United. I’m also very interested.”

Having said this, he took out his mobile phone and opened an email, which contained inside information about Suleiman’s trip.

According to this news, Suleiman personally came to the Premier League to inspect and contacted Manchester United, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool and other teams.

Li Xianxuan frowned slightly when he saw this email.

Curiosities to live in!

For Glazer, what he fears most is that he has no competitors.

Now that two super rich people are interested in Manchester United, then they can get the maximum benefit!

Of course, Suleiman has not expressed his position at the moment, but during negotiations, any chips that are beneficial to him must be shown off.

Li Shanshan fell into deep thought, and he did not doubt the authenticity of this information.

Because in his memory, Suleiman is indeed very interested in Premier League teams.

But this time is a little too early.

You must know that in the original world, Suleiman only acquired the Premier League Manchester City team in 2008.

This team and Manchester United are mortal enemies in the same city.

However, now, Suleiman has revealed his intention to acquire a Premier League team several years in advance.

And there is no Manchester City team here?

Li Shanshan knew very well that it seemed that it was his own fault that had changed a lot of the original trajectory.

But wouldn’t it be more interesting this way?

After Suleiman acquired the Manchester City team, he began to spend heavily to bring in strong reinforcements, spending 1 billion pounds in a few years.

He can be said to treat running the team as a real-life version of the “Football Manager” game.

Now, the Premier League has the addition of Suleiman, plus the super-rich Abramovich of the Arctic country.

It seems that the era of Jinyuan Football is about to begin in advance!

However, although these teams are currently willing to sell, they also have their own concerns.

Since Roman Abramovich, the richest man in the Arctic, took over Chelsea, British fans have had a feeling of crying wolf.

The modern football team originated in Britain. The locals have a deep-seated pride in football.

Although in the history of the World Cup, Britain only won the only championship trophy when hosting the game on home soil.

But in terms of confidence and pride, no country’s fans are more narcissistic than them.

Even the unparalleled king Brazil is not taken seriously by them.

As for club competitions, the Premier League’s influence has gradually increased, which makes the British people extremely proud.

In this case, foreigners want to acquire local clubs, which many British people find unacceptable.

Of course, these are not within Li Shanshan’s consideration.

He doesn’t care about the fans’ protests. Anyway, when he leads the team to win the championship, the fans will say “it smells great.”

Glazer could see Li Xianxuan’s expression completely.

He could feel that the other party really wanted to acquire his shares.

In this case, Glazer felt that although his bid was higher, Li Shanshan had no other choice.

“Mr. Li, the price I offered is absolutely very fair.”

Glazer said with a smile: “If you are really sincere about the acquisition, I believe this price will not be a problem for you at all.” ”

I am indeed very interested in acquiring Manchester United. , but Mr. Glazer, if you want to take the opportunity to make a deal with me, then I will never agree.”

Li Shanshan said calmly: “And another thing is that Manchester is too small. In fact, Suleiman is not as good as London. The team is more interested.”

After hearing this, Glazer couldn’t refute it for a moment.

In the current era, the biggest problem affecting Manchester United is that the city where the team is located is too small and the population is limited to support a larger market.

The wealthy people in the Middle East prefer big cities like London, so Suleiman’s first choice is definitely not Manchester United.

It’s just that in his previous life, London clubs looked down upon him.

He missed out on both Manchester United and Liverpool, and in the end he had no choice but to choose Manchester City.

“Mr. Li, how much do you think you can offer?”

Glazer pondered for a moment and finally made a compromise for the first time.

“For 3 pounds per share, I will acquire all your shares.” Li Shanshan stretched out his finger.

Glazer frowned. The price was far different from his psychological expectations.

“Mr. Li, this price is too low.”

Glazer gritted his teeth and said: “At 6 pounds per share, I can also help you contact other shareholders. You can delist it and become private property at that time!” Generally speaking

, It is said that the favorite thing of the super rich is to turn the team into private property.

This way they can do whatever they want and do whatever they want.

Originally, Glazer himself had this plan in mind, but now facing the pressure from Li Xianshan, he could only give up this unrealistic idea.

“By the way, there’s something I’ve been forgetting to mention.”

Li Shanshan looked at Glazer and said slowly: “Before this, I had contacted the major shareholders and acquired 28.7% of the shares from them.” ”

So I want to remind you, if you don’t sell the shares in your hands, don’t blame me if they become worthless.”

After hearing the news, Glazer was a little confused.

Before that, he had tried countless times to acquire the shares of major shareholders. The results were all rejected.

As a result, now that Li Shanshan went to buy it, he immediately agreed?

Comparing people to each other is really infuriating. Glazer felt weak and helpless at this moment.

In this world of capital, Li Shanshan has the power to do whatever he wants.

Damn it, the evil world of capital!

After thinking about it, Glazer said helplessly: “Mr. Li, 5 pounds per share can’t be lower!” ”

4 pounds, this is my last offer, please think about it again.”

Li Shanshan waved his hand and finally It’s time to finally show up.

Glazer fell into deep thought again, and he was very aware of the consequences of not agreeing.

Judging from the current situation, Li Shanshan has already taken over the shares from the major shareholder.

Next, he can completely spare himself and acquire the remaining shares.

At that time, your shares will really be worthless, and may even rot in your hands.

In this case, it is better to sell it directly while it is profitable now.

Moreover, if Li Shanshan is offended, this is something Glazer cannot bear.

When that time comes, my business will definitely plummet, and it will be a bit outweighed by the gains.

After weighing the pros and cons, Glazer finally made the decision to sell all his Manchester United shares!

As a result, Li Shanshan’s shares reached 56.9%, becoming a veritable owner of Manchester United.

Subsequently, he applied to the London Stock Exchange and officially announced his delisting!

After completing the relevant procedures and acquiring the stocks of retail investors in the market.

Manchester United Club has officially become the private property completely owned by Li Shanshan!
