Star Coach

Chapter 416 Negotiation

Jiangshan's team definitely wants to have all the control in his hands. He will definitely not agree to having shares in the hands of outsiders, and there is always a thorn in his heart.

The shares in Walker's hands are easy to negotiate, there are not many shares, and he just wants to be his first agent in Germany and does not care about the team's shares. Jiangshan is also prepared to exchange the shares of the agent company with him.

Woodward is a team executive and will definitely own some shares. Others are Jiangshan's confidants. Owning shares is not a problem, and Jiangshan has all the control.

Acting separately, Jiangshan didn't even bother to pay attention to the Champions League final, and was just running around with the team's affairs.

He and Woodward sat together, opposite Gudmundsson and Frigilson. The negotiation had lasted for an hour, with no progress at all. The other party was obviously raising the price.

They were in a good mood. Unexpectedly, there were still many people who wanted a team in the middle of the league. Now they could make a big deal.

"As you know, Mr. Bernhardt of Iceland has already set a price before. We are very dissatisfied with their price, but they also stated that they will buy it at a premium. We are in-depth negotiations and are almost reaching an agreement."

Woodward showed a strange smile, "Of course we know Bernhardt's conditions. Since we are sitting here, we are naturally sincere. We can still discuss the price issue. We are all smart people. There is no need to use such tactics.”

Jiangshan would definitely not give in if he raised the price on the ground. Woodward had no experience in buying and selling players, but he had a lot of experience in business negotiations. When he started the negotiation, he already had a clear understanding of the general situation.

On the other side, Woodward also arranged for another negotiating team to rush to Iceland and hold talks with Bernhardt. The general idea was to let them withdraw voluntarily, and Woodward could make the decision and give him certain compensation.

It has to be said that the team that Woodward brought together was particularly experienced. No matter how much talk was wasted, Bernhardt was able to quit in less than a week.

Of course, in the past few days, no one knew why, West Ham fans started spontaneous demonstrations to boycott Bernhardt's purchase of the team, and there were even rumors that Bernhardt was a Millwall fan.

Millwall is the real mortal enemy of West Ham. The most common hostility between others is to raise banners and insult each other. These mortal enemies have too many historical grievances and will be bloody in any game.

The Football Association didn't even dare to arrange for them to play together, otherwise London's police force would not be enough. There is also a movie called "Football Hooligan" in England, which reflects the feud between West Ham and Millwall.

When the news spread, whether it was true or not, banners boycotting Bernhardt flew all over the place. Many passionate fans even went to Upton Park to petition to prevent Bernhardt from touching the team.

In fact, Bernhardt is a die-hard West Ham fan. Otherwise, it's not like he bought West Ham. He previously controlled Aston Villa. What a miserable guy, being boycotted by the fans made him want to cry.

At this time, many West Ham fans got the news that star coach Jiang Shan wanted to buy West Ham United and already controlled 40% of the team's shares. It was inevitable to gain absolute control of the team.

As long as Gudmundsson and Frigilson relent, Jiangshan would not mind buying all the shares in the team, but now the biggest enemy has turned out to be the greedy former chairman.

Looking at the strong response from the fan base, Jiang Shan and Woodward were quite satisfied. Their plan was quite successful. While negotiating and mobilizing the power of the media, everything was moving in the direction of their plan.

Woodward lit his cigar, "I didn't expect that the person blocking the fans from welcoming the new owner is actually the previous owner of the team. It's really interesting."

"With a large fan base, a good team history, and being in a city like London, we have all the conditions to become a giant." Jiang Shan smiled, he was quite satisfied with the scene in front of him.

West Ham has a large number of fans and the fans are extremely passionate. Coupled with the geographical location of London, Jiangshan believes that West Ham will become one of the few wealthy teams in England in the near future.

"But the history of West Ham is really not glorious at all. No, a little bit, they once won the Champions League Winners' Cup." Albert also appeared in England, smoking a cigar, "Of course, although I believe you, But I am more optimistic about Manchester City, they will also become a wealthy team. After all, their owner is too rich."

Jiang Shan smiled and did not refute. He wanted to thank Prince Albert. All the remaining shares of West Ham in the market were pocketed by him, and Jiangshan could not find them until Albert showed up on his own initiative.

Then Albert sold all the shares to Jiangshan at cost price. Jiangshan's West Ham shares had reached 40%, which was just short of the shares held by the two chairman.

In return, Jiangshan will also help Albert establish an operating company and take control of Monaco. Monaco has been operating improperly in the past two years, and the team has been sinking and is about to be relegated. Of course, this is why Albert has complete control over the team. good chance.

The two parties hit it off and immediately started cooperation. With Jiang Shan's help, Albert was able to attract a lot of funds. Jiangshan still has some shares in Premier League teams. Of course, they are all waiting to appreciate in value and will not be sold to support Albert.

Jiangshan sat comfortably, "By buying West Ham, I have the confidence to build a top team of my own. As for Manchester City, they still lack a little momentum. If they win the league championship or the Champions League in the next few years, they will become a candidate for the top clubs. Otherwise, they can only be a quasi-top club."

Woodward smiled cunningly, "Jiangshan is in the Premier League, and with Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool, it will be difficult for Manchester City to stand out. You know, there are only four Champions League places, not enough."

The news that Jiangshan bought the team was also known by most West Ham fans, and many fans spontaneously supported Jiangshan. Jiangshan is a champion coach and a star coach. This title is too big.

As long as Jiangshan takes over the team, West Ham will become a contender for the league championship, there is no doubt about it.

Now Jiangshan has controlled 40% of the team's shares. Even if Bernhardt is not determined to buy the team, Jiangshan will compete with him for control of the team. At that time, it will affect the development of the team, and no one will benefit.

The negotiations in the past few days have gradually deepened. Frigilson has shown signs of loosening up. He wants to cash in the funds quickly. In fact, the two chairmen are short of funds and they urgently need funds to make up for the gap in the business field.

Jiangshan continued to hang on and lower the price. The two offered a total price of 100 million pounds, which was too high, tens of millions of pounds higher than Jiangshan's impression. He didn't want to be a sucker.

"Since I am sitting here, it shows my sincerity. Please let me see your sincerity." Jiangshan went straight to the point.

Now it is June, and the team acquisition must be completed immediately and the summer operation must be turned into operation.
