Chapter 2: Chelsea is adding insult to injury
Israeli agent Pini Zahavi is well-known in European football.
Over the past few years, he has been involved in many clubs.
Until he met the Russian billionaire Abramovich.
The Russian rich man seeks fame and wants to use the Premier League and football to help him integrate into the British upper class.
Pini Zahavi has tailored a plan for him, hoping to help him build a Premier League giant that is not inferior to the Galacticos Real Madrid.
However, whether it is the Stamford Bridge stadium located southwest of Hyde Park or the "shabby warehouse" training ground located north of Heathrow Airport, they are incompatible with the planned super giants.
Abramovich is not short of money, and with a wave of his hand, he plans to purchase land in the southern suburbs and build a five-star training base.
The new stadium is naturally on the agenda.
This "unfinished" project in the north of Hyde Park immediately caught Chelsea's attention.
Best of all, it's very close to Stamford Bridge.
The straight-line distance is 4 kilometers.
With Abramovich completing the acquisition of Chelsea, there will inevitably be a big signing.
This is a good time for Pini Zahavi to show his talents.
Before that, he hoped to show his abilities and talents to the Russians by acquiring the land of this low-level club that was on the verge of bankruptcy.
So, when they came to Bayswater Chinese, as soon as the two parties sat down, and even before Lin Zhongqiu reported the asking price, Pini Zahavi gave the psychological price very forcefully.
5 million pounds.
Break the bone!
At first, Lin Zhongqiu thought that the other party was trying to pay back the money.
But gradually, Pini Zahavi had no intention of letting go, and looked like he was determined to defeat the Chinese in Bayswater.
"I have inquired about your current financial situation. You now have a funding gap of at least one million pounds and are in urgent need of this money to meet your immediate needs."
"And now, we can help you get through this crisis." We are the only ones in crisis."
After Pini Zahavi finished speaking, he also glanced at Cash Harris beside him.
Kesh Harris specializes in football trading in the City of London. He is involved in everything from club buying and selling to player trading capital operations.
When Yang Jianguo came to London to acquire the club, he was the one who helped make the connections.
But Abramovich’s thigh is thicker and stronger.
"Lin, I have to remind you that there are no banks or institutions in the Financial City willing to lend you money anymore, and you don't have much time left." Cash Harris chuckled reminded.
Lin Zhongqiu’s face was very ugly.
The wall fell and everyone pushed it.
When Yang Jianguo left, he had already expected such a situation and had even prepared for the worst.
Selling this land for 5 million pounds is simply not enough to repay the debt, not to mention that everything invested in the Bayswater Chinese over the past few years will be in vain.
This club is probably coming to an end.
On the contrary, Chelsea got a huge advantage for nothing.
Is there any way?
Situation is stronger than people.
Lin Zhongqiu raised his head dejectedly, and just when he was about to speak, a hand suddenly reached out from under the table.
Very powerful and determined.
Yang Cheng reached out and pressed Lin Zhongqiu to prevent him from speaking again. He looked at Piny Zahavi and Cash Harris with a smile.
He had dealt with these two cunning ghost-like guys many times in his previous life.
Especially Pini Zahavi.
Yang Cheng dislikes this treacherous agent.
“The price of 5 million pounds is too low and far from our psychological price. We need to reconsider it.”
Pini Zahavi and Cash Harris After taking a look, I was surprised.
I just saw that the middle-aged man was about to give in, why did he suddenly interfere?
"Of course, Mr. Yang, the matter is very important and it is right to consider it carefully."
Cash Harris responded with a hypocritical smile, "But I still say the same thing, life-saving time is very precious."
"We know it well." Yang Cheng nodded confidently.
This immediately left both Cash Harris and Pini Zahavi scratching their heads.
But now that this is the case, the negotiations can only be put on hold for the time being.
After leaving the door, Pini Zahavi specifically turned back and glanced at Yang Cheng from a distance.
"Young people don't know the sky and the earth. There is a time when he bows his head and begs."
Kash Harris nodded, "They have borrowed all the money they can borrow. This time they are doomed. They can't wait any longer. Two days. "
......
After the two left, Yang Cheng and Lin Zhongqiu were left in the office with a worried look.
"A-Cheng, 10 million pounds is our psychological price, but 5 million pounds is also barely acceptable. We urgently need this money. This is also the task your father gave me when he left."
Lin Zhongqiu was loyal to Yang Jianguo, otherwise he would not have been left to deal with this matter.
This club is obviously unable to survive and bankruptcy is inevitable.
The only thing that can be done is to try to avoid spreading to the country.
Abandon the car to save the handsome man.
"Uncle Lin, I know that we need this money very much, but please believe me, there must be other ways."
"What else can be done?" Lin Zhongqiu was anxious.
Saving lives is like putting out fire.
One more day of delay is one more day of risk.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
"Then you just..." Lin Zhongqiu became even more anxious.
"Uncle Lin, I know what you are worried about. They have just made it clear that they are going to add insult to injury. We don't have to rush. We will spend two days with them first. You can buy more time for the club. I will definitely be able to think of a solution."
< br>After a pause, Yang Cheng added: "In the past two days, you have Hurry up and cut off our domestic business to avoid spreading to the country."
"Don't worry, we are already doing it."
"Okay, just wait for me 2. God."
After that, Yang Cheng also left the conference room.
After Lin Zhongqiu watched Yang Cheng leave, he was still restless, always feeling that this matter was very unreliable.
He immediately returned to the office, made a phone call back home, and reported the latest progress to Yang Jianguo. "A-Cheng really said that?" Yang Jianguo was not anxious on the phone, but actually laughed out loud.
Lin Zhongqiu could hear that the boss's tone was a little surprised, and his laughter was even more relieved.
"Yes, but I always feel that it is dangerous to do so. Cheng has just graduated and doesn't understand anything. I'm afraid..."
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
Yang Jianguo interrupted him directly on the phone.
“Old Lin, you are just too cautious.”
“It’s better to go according to the original plan. I’m also prepared. The worst is that all the investment of several years will be lost there. Bian, I don’t think this guy can come up with any good ideas.”
“Just give him some practice.”
In Yang Jianguo's mind, the British business was dead.
Think of it as accumulating valuable bankruptcy experience for your only son.
In business, how can you only make profits but not lose money?
As long as Yang Cheng can learn something and get exercise from this incident, it will be worth it.
The money is gone, you can make it again.
There is only one successor.
……
After Yang Cheng returned to the office, he immediately started busy.
He first read the club's financial analysis and knew that the club now needs to spend at least 1 million pounds to relieve its urgent needs.
But the Bayswater Chinese have mortgaged everything they can.
For a third-division club, no bank is willing to lend anymore.
Yang Cheng has experienced many similar things in his previous life, and even the financial operations of some clubs amazed him.
Now he just wants to find a way to save the Chinese people in Bayswater.
After sorting out the information, I have a general understanding of the situation of the Chinese in Bayswater.
Yang Cheng then searched around the office and found a large stack of business cards.
One by one, I glanced at the business cards.
But he looked very focused.
He didn't even notice that Lin Zhongqiu paused for a moment at his open door.
Soon, he deleted a few of the business cards.
Sitting back at his desk, he called everyone one by one according to the contact information on the business card.
These business cards are basically business managers of some banks or institutions.
On the phone, Yang Cheng mainly inquired about their business type and scope.
By the time he had made all the phone calls on his business card, it was already dark outside.
Everything that happened today made Lin Zhongqiu feel very strange.
Even, full of surprise.
Yang Cheng was so different from usual.
In the past, Yang Cheng was polite and courteous in dealing with others, but he had no independent opinions and no edge in his whole person.
Even a little timid.
But today is different.
Especially at the critical moment, when he reached out and pressed Lin Zhongqiu.
Looking back afterwards, Lin Zhongqiu vaguely saw the shadow of Yang Jianguo when he started his business.
Passing Yang Cheng's office several times, Lin Zhongqiu didn't understand what he was doing.
Finally, after Yang Cheng finished his work, Lin Zhongqiu knocked on the door and came in.
"Uncle Lin, you're here at the right time."
Yang Cheng stood up from the office chair, "Please help me sort out a piece of information, from our club's financial status to its operating conditions , and including our land, print a few more copies.”
"What are you..." Lin Zhongqiu was confused.
Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "I chatted with several managers from the Financial City in the afternoon. They are all very interested in our land. I plan to go and meet with them tomorrow morning."
"It's useless, Cheng, we have already mortgaged this land."
"I know, but you can still find money." Yang Cheng said with confidence.
In European football in 2003, capital operations were not as versatile as they would be in the future.
Yang Jianguo and Lin Zhongqiu, who are from China, naturally don't know some of the secrets here.
As long as it is valuable, there must be capital interested.
Even those that are on the verge of bankruptcy like the Bayswater Chinese.
Moreover, even if the other party is not interested, Yang Cheng can still create interest for them.
"Don't worry, Uncle Lin, trust me, hurry up and get ready." Yang Cheng urged.
Lin Zhongqiu was confused, but Yang Jianguo had explained before that if Yang Cheng was to let go this time, he could only try his best to cooperate.
What he didn't know was that after watching Lin Zhongqiu leave, Yang Cheng took out the top one from among the many business cards.
Elvino Asset Management Ltd.
Manager of the Bankruptcy Department.
Chris Hunter.
In the City of London where giants gather, this company is inconspicuous, but it is enough.
When this person approached Bayswater Chinese, he saw the potential value of this land and hoped to help Bayswater Chinese go bankrupt and reorganize.
After a brief conversation, Yang Cheng felt that he would be interested in his proposal.
You want me to go bankrupt, I will step on you across the bridge.
We all had a great time.
Twice a day, 8 a.m. and 18 p.m.
