The Glory of the Godfather

Fang Jue thought for a while.

"Actually, I am more inclined to..."

Fang Jue frowned, picked up the pile of thick materials prepared by Miss Papa, and flipped through it gently. Miss Papa used different colored pens to mark some of the more important data and information.

Then, Fang Jue directly tore off the page he wrote with the names of Birmingham, Crystal Palace, Charlton Athletic and Nottingham Forest and crumpled it up.

"Papa, um, my decision is, this time... I listen to you." Fang Jue looked at Papa with a smile on his face.

Then, he saw Miss Papa startled for a moment, then surprised, and finally showed a surprised expression.

"Don't force it." Miss Papa sparkled her eyelashes. "Did you see that I have prepared this information very well and it is very hard, so you changed your mind?"

"Yes." Fang Jue nodded, then shook his head, "No."

Looking at Miss Papa with a puzzled expression, Fang Jue put his hands on the girl's shoulders, and looked at her, "I'm so dizzy, the perfume is all mixed up."

Miss Papa uses different perfumes in the morning, afternoon, and night time every day. These perfumes are also specially made to order. Therefore, even in the dark house with the curtains, you don’t need to look at it. Watches, just smell the perfume on Papa to know the approximate time.

"Ah, I really used the wrong perfume." Miss Papa exclaimed, and she smelled the lush white arm, "No, I'm going to take a bath, and then..."

"No, this is the best perfume I have ever smelled."

Fang Jue’s apartment is generally in general condition, but Miss Papa doesn’t mind at all. However, even in the “poor” living environment, Papa has always allowed herself to live very exquisitely, using cosmetics, perfumes, and time periods. Which one to use, this has been integrated into her life habits.

Fang Jue had previously sighed that the money he had earned for a month of hard work was not enough for Miss Papa to have a bottle of cosmetics.

Anyway, in Fang Jue’s impression, exquisite Papa has always been so beautiful, delicate, and calm. It is hard to imagine that the situation of using the wrong perfume would happen to Papa.

But now, if it weren't for Fang Jue's reminder, Miss Papa hadn't even realized that she had used the wrong perfume. For a girl from a family like Papa, it was simply unimaginable.

Obviously, Miss Papa’s attention is all on those materials, and it is conceivable that Miss Papa has done enough homework and has a lot of ideas and suggestions.

Such a girl should be cherished.

Moreover, Fang Jue had to admit that Miss Papa was a professional in the acquisition of a club.

Therefore, this time Fang Jue didn't insist on anything, he decided to listen to Papa.

Fang Jue's words were like the most beautiful love words. Both of them were emotional and busy for a long time. Then Miss Papa finally took a bath and re-sprayed perfume.

...

"Fulham, don't think about it." Miss Papa was heroic and first excluded Fulham.

"Why?" Fang Jue was puzzled. Since Fulham was listed on the list, why was he excluded as soon as he came up.

"I know it is more difficult to persuade you to buy into a Premier League team, so Fulham, who is weak in all aspects, is included."

Fang Jue nodded. It is true. If he was persuaded by Miss Papa and finally considered buying a Premier League team according to his previous ideas, between West Ham United, Aston Villa and Fulham, Compared with the first two, Fulham is indeed a bit worse, and the price will be relatively cheaper. He will give priority to Fulham, well, after all, this is also a London team.

"West Ham United." Miss Papa nodded, "First of all, this is the London team, and West Ham has a history of glory, the fan base is also good, this is an advantage."

"However, the problem is that the current holders of West Ham United have no intention of selling the team." Papa said, "Magnussen wants to hold this Premier League team for a long time."

In 2006, the Icelandic consortium headed by Magnussen formally acquired West Ham United as a whole, costing a total of 85 million pounds. Magnussen is the representative of this consortium, and this is also the chairman of the Icelandic Football Association. The members of the Joint Executive Committee belong to the powerful and powerful.

"Finally, Aston Villa."

"First of all, Aston Villa is in Birmingham, the economic strength and population are third in England, and the city rivals Birmingham are still in the British championship. So, Aston Villa now has the advantage in this city. of."

"Secondly, Aston Villa has a long history, has a glorious time, and has a lot of heritage.

"Also, Aston Villa is very popular in England's upper class."

The top professional league of English football began in the 1888/1889 season. The long history of more than 100 years has created multiple dynasties. Aston Villa established the first dynasty and won five league titles in the last seven seasons of the 19th century. No two.

It can be said that in the ancient times of English professional football, Aston Villa was the real mainstay. The club director (equivalent to today's general manager) William. McGregor is unanimously regarded as the creator of the English professional league system and the first chairman of the league. Aston Villa's influence is evident.

Aston Villa, who was born in aristocratic elites, was down and even once dropped into the third tier. However, it is normal for the chaotic English football world in the middle ages. Even Manchester United and Liverpool have tasted the taste of relegation. .

Aston Villa's ZTE even predates the Red Devils Manchester United, reaching the top of Europe in 1998, becoming the fifth English club to win the Champions League trophy.

So far, Aston Villa has won seven top league titles in England.

Now the leader of the British Conservative Party, Cameron, is an Aston Villa supporter. The chairman of the club when Aston Villa won the European Cup trophy was Cameron's uncle.

And now Prince William of the British royal family is also a famous Aston Villa fan.

"Finally, Aston Villa has a good record in the past few seasons and the overall strength of the team is good. If we buy in, the foundation is good."

"So, I tend to buy Aston Villa."

"A big city, a long history, a good fan base, a good overall team strength, and the team is very popular in the UK, and it has a great influence." Miss Papa pursed her hair and smiled.

...

Fang Jue applauded, and he gave a thumbs up to Papa.

After listening to Miss Papa’s analysis, Fang Jue is almost convinced now:

The big cities and the fans have a good foundation, which means that there are many leeks.

With a long history, it can be understood that the ancestors have passed away. Fans of such a team miss the glory of their ancestors. The more they have passed, the more deeply dissatisfied with the status quo. Then when you lead the team to rebuild its glory, you are welcomed and supported. The greater the degree.

A team that the British upper class likes, which means great influence, and controlling such a team is different from mastering an ordinary team.

As for Aston Villa's current overall strength and good foundation, this can indeed save time for its rise.

Fang Jue now also thinks Aston Villa is a very good acquisition target.

But here comes the problem.

"Papa, Aston Villa can be regarded as a very high-quality asset, and it will definitely be held for a long time. The owner of such a club will not sell it." Fang Jue asked.

The current owner of Aston Villa is American Randy. Lerner, in the summer of 2006, he bought Aston Villa as a whole for £66 million, and rescued Aston Villa from the well-known'cheepy' boss Ellis in the Premier League. Regarded as the team's savior by Aston Villa fans, they look forward to the arrival of Aston Villa's spring.

When Lerner bought the team, Aston Villa was ranked 16th in the Premier League and was almost relegated. American owner Lerner was really passionate about the sports industry. He used to hold the American rugby team and was winning After Ston Villa, Lerner also hoped to make a difference. After Aston Villa only ranked 11th in the Premier League in the 2006/07 season, Martin was invited. O'Neal coached, and Aston Villa ranked sixth in the UK last season. It can be said that the results are quite good.

In Fang Jue's view, such a team, such an owner, really has no reason to sell the team now.

"No, unless Aston Villa can successfully reach the top four in the Premier League in the new season, otherwise Randy Lerner will not refuse to sell the team." Miss Papa taught Fang Jue.

In the 2006/07 season, Aston Villa ranked 11th in the Premier League.

In the 2007/08 season, Aston Villa ranked sixth in the Premier League.

The new season will be the third season after Lerner bought Aston Villa, and when the American boss won the team, the established plan is to reach the top four in the Premier League within three years and qualify for the European Champions Cup. .

"In the Premier League, everything speaks of financial strength. Only the best four teams can attract more attention, more funds, and open up a larger market. Champions League qualification is an obvious threshold. Crossing the past means high amounts. The return on funds, the huge market charm and the attractiveness of the players. From fifth to seventeenth, there is not much difference in essence, just the income gap of millions of pounds." Miss Papa talked. 【see】

"Aston Villa can only be regarded as the middle class of the Premier League before it can successfully reach the top four of the Premier League. The middle class team is living in a crisis of competition everywhere: you can't keep your best players. , Aston Villa loses stars every year, and to build a team that can compete directly with the top four teams and leave stars, you have to promise higher salaries to recruit players. I have a data here. In the two seasons, Aston Villa’s salary expenditure to revenue ratio is close to 80%; in this case, the solution to alleviate all this is to make a breakthrough in performance, enter the Champions League, and get in the Champions League. The Philippine broadcasts dividends, and once Aston Villa has a poor record, to be precise, if it fails to reach the top four in the league for the third consecutive season, Lerner's financial pressure will erupt."

Fang Jue listened, there is a feeling that Aston Villa, which seems to be doing well, has a tight capital chain, high salaries, and internal crises in the team, and it feels that it will be over at any time.

Then Fang Jue stroked his palm and said jokingly, "Papa, you are so amazing. Listening to you, I really thought Randy Lerner had to sell the team."

"As long as Aston Villa does not reach the top four in the league, he must sell the team." Miss Papa said.

"However, according to the data, Randy Lerner is relatively rich. Aston Villa failed to achieve his goal this season. He can continue to work hard for the following season. He should be able to support the winner." Fang Jue recalled Miss Papa Organized information.

"Part of Randy Lerner's funds are now locked in Lehman Brothers." Miss Papa said, "At present, the situation is not so good. He may lose a lot of money, and he now has a larger amount. Pressure on loan repayment."

"Understood." Fang Jue nodded, "We have a chance to acquire Aston Villa on the condition that Aston Villa has not reached the top four in the league, and Randy Lerner's capital chain continues to shrink."

Fang Jue was thinking about the capital chain. There is no way. He and Papa are not Lerner’s creditors. The only thing he can count on is that Aston Villa’s performance is not ideal. Fang Jue is wondering whether he can Do something here to help the battered Lerner get free soon...

Lerner: Σ(°△°)︴.

Miss Papa opened her **** mouth, as if to say something, but closed it again.

...

"The last question, how much does it cost to acquire Aston Villa?" Fang Jue pondered.

The capital required to acquire a Premier League team is quite huge. You have to know that when the Yankees bought Aston Villa back then it cost 66 million pounds. Now, Aston Villa’s strength and ranking have improved. Guy must make a fortune before he is willing to withdraw.

Imagine the amount of money needed to acquire Aston Villa, Fang Jue felt a big head.

At that time, he sold the shares of Ibiza, plus Miss Papa's "pocket money", the total amount to nearly 100 million euros.

Then, Miss Papa said, "My pocket money (rent) every month can reach about 3 million euros."

This is all right.

In the end, Fang Jue and Miss Papa reached a consensus. First, the two people jointly invested in the establishment of a company. Fang Jue used technology to buy shares, and then borrowed from Miss Papa, accounting for 55% of the shares, and Miss Papa contributed capital. Forty-five percent of shares.

Well, in fact, Fang Jue now directly accounts for 55% of the shares without paying a penny.

Fang Jue felt embarrassed, although he knew that this was equivalent to flying with Miss Papa ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ However, Papa didn't know, Fang Jue was very moved by this feeling.

"Your dream, I'll guard it." Fang Jue was even more touched when Papa said such a sentence. Without retribution, she thanked Miss Papa enthusiastically.

However, after the heat, Fang Jue suddenly felt a little ashamed after a burst of emptiness: He, this is, finally, still, by his ability, have you eaten soft food?

He shook his head abruptly. How could it be possible. She admired his talents. He fell in love with her understanding. It had nothing to do with sacrifice, hue, and money. It was just love. Besides, using his wife to lose it. There is no need for a couple to distinguish the money.

Fang Jue glanced at Papa who was sleeping, and gently caught the rabbit's eyes. He wanted to cherish this woman.

: Before the England Football Association made the reform of the distribution of broadcast shares, bonuses and other ranking dividends, and the Premier League signed a new 5.5 billion broadcast fee agreement a few years later, the Premier League will exclude the top four teams from selling. Except for the factors that make players make money, the income gap of other teams is not big.
