[0420 chapter] Getting better monthly pass and

After Wimbledon entered the third round, the competition became more and more intense. As the grass court game can best reflect the basic skills of players, the high-ranking seed players performed exceptionally well.

Gu Fei's opponent in the third round was German player Haas. This was also Haas's rare breakthrough into the third round in recent competitions. Since meeting Gu Fei in the semi-finals of the Hamburg Masters in 2003, this was Haas's first

Facing Gu Fei for the 9th time in various competitions.

Currently, the record between Haas and Gu Fei is nine losses and zero wins, and they are only one step away from Gu Fei's tenth consecutive club defeat.

Recently, the media compiled a list of clubs where Gu Fei has lost ten games in a row for various famous players in the international tennis world. Among them, Ferrero, Federer, Nadal and other famous players are impressively on the list.

The media praised this list more than they criticized it, because only in high-level competitions can one meet Gu Fei, and being sent to a 10-game losing streak by Gu Fei means that these players are super players currently active in the international tennis world.

In the third round of Wimbledon, Haas was unable to resist Gu Fei's aggressive attack and was quickly defeated 0:3.

Seeing Haas exhausted and overwhelmed on the court, the media and fans also felt sad. Just four years ago, Haas was still a man of the hour on the tennis court, winning the semi-finals of the Australian Open in 1999 and 2002, and his glory was endless.

.

Haas, who is not yet 30 years old, is already showing signs of fatigue, his hero is late, and he is on the verge of retirement.

The on-site director focused the camera on Becker, who was sitting in the box. The apprentice he brought out personally defeated his compatriots. He must be the one with the most complicated emotions at this time, right?

Gu Fei, who raised his hands high to celebrate his victory, ushered in his 87th consecutive victory in Grand Slam events and his 24th consecutive victory at Wimbledon.

Regarding Gu Fei's victory, there was almost no disturbance in the media, and everyone's attention was focused more on other high-ranking players.

After all, to the media, it is not news that Fei Gu wins, but losing is big news.

The media has even become numb to Gu Fei's winning streak, because they don't know how long Gu Fei will continue this record?

…………

While Gu Fei won the third round of Wimbledon, good news also came from Yu Hong. The Glazer family relented under a strong money offensive.

Since the Glazer family borrowed money to buy Manchester United, they were under huge debt pressure. At this time, the subprime mortgage crisis that broke out in the United States in 2008 had begun to take shape. Banks and various investment institutions began to tighten money, which made the Glazer family even more desperate.

The family is getting worse.

In order to preserve their domestic industry in the United States, the Glazer family has to consider selling its overseas properties to relieve financial pressure. The Manchester United club is the most valuable and attractive property of the Glazer family.

Many consortiums had previously inquired from the Glazer family, but these consortiums all had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation, so the Glazer family had to grit their teeth and persist. The Huaxia consortium led by Yu Hong gave the Glazer family a new choice.

, with a sincere offer, the negotiation progressed quite smoothly.

Now that the negotiations have reached the final stage, Gu Fei, the boss behind the scenes, has also surfaced.

When the Glazers and their sons met Gu Fei in the conference room of the Cayman Hotel in London, their jaws almost dropped.

The Glazers had previously thought that the acquirer was an established consortium from China. After all, the Xichuan Liu brothers and the Nanxun consortium have been quite active in the English capital market recently, and there are also rumors that these two consortiums intend to acquire Liverpool.

Or Manchester United.

However, considering the relationship between Gu Fei and the Nanxun Consortium, the Glazer family realized that Gu Fei was the real acquirer, and the active Nanxun Consortium might just be a smoke bomb.

For ordinary people, it is difficult to discover the relationship between Gu Fei and the Nanxun Consortium, but for the top wealthy people, such information is just the basis.

The Glazer family did not show any resistance to Gu Fei becoming the real acquirer. After all, with Gu Fei joining, Manchester United might be able to sell the club at a better price.

At the beginning of the negotiations, the Glazer family made an offer of 800 million pounds, which was nearly 200 million more than the funds they spent to acquire Manchester United last year. Moreover, last year the Glazer family only provided less than 300 million pounds.

of cash, and the rest was borrowed, and then repaid with loans from financial institutions in the name of Manchester United. In the end, heavy financial pressure fell on the Manchester United club.

In a sense, if Gu Fei acquires Manchester United for 800 million pounds, the Glazer family's profit will be at least 200 million pounds, doubling their profits in just one year.

Anyone in business can see that the Glazer family has made a lot of profits.

Perhaps it was Gu Fei's growing influence in the U.S. capital market that caused the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis to begin several months earlier than in previous lives. It is precisely because of this that the Glazer family's industry in the U.S. has been greatly affected.

The huge impact and huge debt pressure forced them to consider putting Manchester United on the shelves.

For the shrewd Jewish family, Gu Fei did not reveal his firm intention to acquire it. Instead, he disclosed relevant information about the negotiations between the Chinese-funded consortium and Liverpool FC to the other party.

In fact, the same operation also occurred during the negotiation process between the Nanxun Consortium and Liverpool. This time, the Huaxia Consortium cooperated with each other tacitly, making it unclear what the details were.

"Mr. Glazer, for us, there is no difference whether it is Manchester United, Liverpool, or even Aston Villa. The so-called glorious tradition has no substantive meaning." Facing the Glazer family, the lion opened his mouth.

, Gu Fei seemed to downplay it, saying: "Liverpool Club's market value is lower, and it has better genes in the Champions League, which is more suitable for our international strategy."

Huaxia Consortium's frequent contacts with Liverpool shareholders were not hidden from the Glazer family. They even obtained some information and judged that Huaxia Consortium had a real intention to acquire.

The customer's strategy is simple, but it firmly grasps the lifeblood of the Glazer family, paying a lump sum of 700 million pounds in cash.

With the tone set by Gu Fei, the negotiation went much smoother. Gu Fei did not personally participate in the specific details of the negotiation, but left it to the professional team led by Yu Hong.

"Gu, you are the most outstanding young man I have ever seen." Old Glazer, holding a red wine glass, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and touched Gu Fei and said, "I hope Manchester United will develop better in your hands!

"

For the Glazer family, Manchester United is just a tool for them to make money. Although they cannot use Manchester United as a cash machine for a long time, it is good to be able to gain something. After all, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States is getting worse now.

The financial pressure on the Glazer family is too great. If they are not careful, they may go bankrupt and lose everything.

"After buying the club, more will be left to professionals to run it. We will try not to interfere in the management of the club." Xiao Xiao took a sip of red wine, and Gu Fei looked out the window at the brightly lit London night scene and said, "Glazer

Sir, he has a very wide network of contacts in the United States, and he may need your help in the future."

"No problem!" Old Glazer drank the red wine in his hand and said with a bold smile.

Although the sale of Manchester United is different from the Glazer family's prior strategic goals, the huge profit is enough to satisfy the elder Glazer.

After all, no matter how good the prospects of Manchester United are, it is still the future, and now the Glazer family needs enough cash to save the American industry.

The bosses of both parties reached a consensus, and the negotiation process accelerated instantly. Under Gu Fei's instruction, Yu Hong did not haggle over the price, and took the initiative to increase the price by 10 million pounds when the two sides were in the most stalemate.

The negotiations are coming to an end, and the next important task for Gu Fei is to meet with the club's head coach and godfather Ferguson.

For the Manchester United club and Manchester United fans, it doesn't matter who the club owner or chairman is. As long as this stubborn old Scottish man is still sitting on the coaching bench, everyone's hearts will settle down.

Once Gu Fei acquires Manchester United, if he wants to get the approval of the club, he must first obtain the support of Ferguson.

At Wimbledon Country Club, Gu Fei met the red-nosed godfather Ferguson.

"Gu, why is it you?" Ferguson was a little surprised when he saw Gu Fei. He had heard before that the Chinese consortium was planning to acquire Manchester United, but he did not expect that Gu Fei would come out to contact him.

Gu Fei had had several contacts with Ferguson at the Lawrence Awards Ceremony in the past few years, and the old man still had a good impression of this humble young man.

"Jazz, the acquisition club is a company under my name. Currently, the Glazer family has agreed to transfer all the equity to me, but some details have not been agreed upon yet." Gu Fei did not hide anything, but was straightforward.

and Sir Alex Ferguson, reported the progress of the acquisition negotiations.

Gu Fei has his own way of dealing with such a stubborn old man. As long as you present the facts clearly, you can easily convince him.

"Are you buying with debt or cash?" Sir Alex Ferguson also felt very helpless about the frequent changes in the club's equity.

Sir Alex Ferguson couldn't help but burst into anger when he thought of the series of operations performed by the Glazer family after acquiring the club with debt.

"Cash acquisition! In addition to paying 400 million pounds to the Glazer family, we will also pay off all the club's debts and provide you with 100 million pounds of transfer funds!" Gu Fei has a clear vision for the future of professional football.

Knowing that only Jinyuan football is the real way out, he simply said to Sir Alex Ferguson straight to the point: "In addition, we will also bring a real superstar to the club this summer!"

"Gu, don't fool me, old man!" Sir Alex Ferguson was doubtful about Gu Fei's grand plan.

After all, the Glazer family made all kinds of rhetoric before acquiring Manchester United. However, after the acquisition was completed, they regarded the club as a cash machine. The old man was a little scared.

"Don't worry about this. These terms can be written into the acquisition contract. In addition to the investment company under my name, the club will also have strong support from various Chinese consortiums in the future. There is no shortage of money!"

"That's great!" Sensing the sincerity and sincerity in Gu Fei's words, Sir Alex Ferguson chose to believe Gu Fei.

Of course, trust is only temporary, and facts will have to speak for themselves in the future.

But what the old man is most curious about is, who is the superstar Gu Fei is talking about?

Today's international football is in an era of sluggish growth. Other superstars such as Fei Ge have reached the twilight of their careers, while young people such as Ronaldinho Rooney have not yet fully grown up.

"Don't worry, old man, just watch the tennis match here and wait for the acquisition result to come out!"

…………

Unknown to the outside world, the ownership of Manchester United is quietly being transferred, and everyone is very interested in Sir Alex Ferguson appearing in the Wimbledon stands.

However, the old man was very tight-lipped. When he was interviewed by reporters, he did not even make any comments on the performance of Manchester United players in the World Cup.

The Wimbledon game continues, Berdych, Djokovic, Ancic, Federer, Verdasco, Bjorkman, Mirnyi, Hewitt, Ferrer, Baghdatis, British genius Murray, Tusa

Nov, Nieminen, Fish and other high-ranking seed players all advanced to the fourth round.

Comments from the media said that this year's Wimbledon was uneventful, with almost no upsets.

In the last game of the third round, Nadal and the old king Assi started a fierce battle. In the end, Nadal defeated his opponent 3:0 and advanced to the top 16.

When Agassi's back disappeared from the center court tunnel of Wimbledon, everyone realized that this was the end of an era.

When Sampras retired after winning the US Open championship in 2020, people were mentally prepared for the departure of Gemini in the 1990s. Even so, when this day actually arrived, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

.

In the past four years, when Gu Fei monopolized the men's tennis world, the performance of the old king Agassi was somewhat struggling. Although he occasionally performed brilliantly on the Masters Tour, the decline in physical fitness caused him to be unable to produce consistent output.

The world ranking has even dropped to around 30th.

This time, although Agassi made it to the third round of Wimbledon, he also struggled in the first two rounds, fighting hard for five games before defeating his opponent.

This time under the young Nadal, Agassi didn't even have any room for resistance, and the 3:0 score truly reflected the one-sided situation on the court.

At this point, the top 16 of Wimbledon 2006 have all been decided, and the competition is about to enter its most intense stage.

…………

While Wimbledon is in full swing, Germany's opponents in the quarter-finals of the World Cup have also been decided. Several strong dialogues, topical World Cup grudges, and roommate conflicts between club colleagues have all made the media and fans watch.

With relish.

For Chinese fans, forget about the uncomfortable feeling of watching other national teams dominate the World Cup.

Fortunately, Gu Fei recently continued his winning streak at Wimbledon, and Liu Yuyang performed well in European competitions, which also made the people a little happy.

However, no sport can match the great charm of the world's number one sport!
