Chapter 708 Liverpool has become a supermarket!
Two days is not a long time.
On the day Xiang Yang arrived in London and met Axel, Liu Qianqian, who was on the Qingdao crew, also welcomed her guests.
"Liu, congratulations~"
As soon as they met, Adam Lambert gave Liu Qianxi a close hug.
"Hello, welcome to China." Liu Qianqian responded politely and smiled: "I heard your tour was a success, congratulations."
"It's a pity that you and Xiang didn't come to enjoy it. ”
Adam Lambert is very sorry about this.
Although he is not a fan, Queen, whom he is very familiar with, has an inseparable relationship with football.
Before coming here, his manager was still considering whether he could cooperate with other members of Queen to sing "Weare the Champions" live at Anfield for the new album after the tour, as well as the tour documentary to promote.
It can be seen that in the music world.
After a series of layouts, Hermès’ investment in the entertainment and sports industries is also extremely influential.
"Liu, come and take a look at the songs I wrote. The tunes you came up with are very interesting~"
"Okay." Liu Qianqian had long expected that she would meet Lambert What kind of collaboration has there been, "Another singer is still on the way."
When she talked about Deng Chao, she almost laughed out loud.
I just hope that this promotional song will not be too clichéd by Deng Chao.
"It doesn't matter." Adam Lambert didn't pay much attention to Deng Chao's lateness. He had prepared enough time for this cooperation.
"Let me first introduce you to the directors and actors of our crew. They all welcome you."
"Okay."
Adam Lan Bert did not dare to neglect and immediately agreed.
I read the information about this drama before coming here.
If you don’t check, you won’t know. Adam Lambert and his agent attach great importance to this meeting, which is like a visiting team.
Hermès Film Investment Company leads a film production project involving Chanel, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Alfa Romeo. Can you be careless?
As long as you want to be in the fashion industry.
I really can’t afford to offend.
"Ms. Liu, I would like to ask, when will you and Mr. Xiang meet in England?" Adam Lambert's agent asked in a low voice.
Liu Qianqian pursed her lips.
Going to England?
Why go there?
Xiang Yang will come back by himself.
In this regard, she is fully confident.
I hurried from Boston to Xiangyang, England, and as soon as I got off the plane, I arrived at the hotel where the acquisition team formed by Axel was staying.
Bea Shaffer has already prepared all the information.
The brief version, he had already seen it a few times on the plane.
"Mr. Xiang, this is Arman Panosian" Bruce Cash, standing next to Axel, smiled and introduced the members of the acquisition team to Xiang Yang.
"I have long admired your name." As the future co-CEO of Oaktree Capital, Arman Panosian, who has in-depth research on distressed opportunity strategies, quickly greeted him politely.
A few people exchanged simple greetings and then came to the hotel's conference room.
A group of assistants have already decorated the conference room.
"Wait a minute, Ian Ayre from the Liverpool team will also come over." Bea Shaffer came to Xiang Yang's side and reminded him in a low voice.
Xiang Yang said "hmm" and came to sit next to Axel.
"How was it? Did your harvest in the United States go well?" Axel spoke to Xiang Yang first and asked about this trip.
"Not bad." Xiang Yang showed a confident smile.
On Musk's side, UBER will be fully committed to developing a truck logistics system, which can be launched as soon as the first quarter of next year.
And in Boston, his meeting with the owner of Arsenal was not just a simple bump-in-the-head meeting.
Although Kroenke himself is not very wealthy, he still has very strong connections within the Wal-Mart Group.
This will provide a good boost for HYS to officially launch sales channels in North America.
"We just got good news this morning." Axel also shared the gains of the past two days with Xiangyang with a smile on his face.
Early this morning, after in-depth meetings with Premier League officials and the British Financial Conduct Authority, he has obtained the approval plan for the acquisition.
In other words, Premier League officials will not block this acquisition.
This undoubtedly cleared the final obstacle for this large financial operation.
Next, there is the confrontation with clubs and banks.
"Oh, that's right. What did the bank say?" When Xiang Yang said this, he glanced at the Oaktree Capital team.
His intuition told him that this investment bank was extremely greedy.
Being able to keep an eye on Liverpool's debt problem, he also worked behind the scenes to persuade the Fenway Group investors who originally wanted to acquire Liverpool to halt the acquisition at a critical moment.
This is not something ordinary people can do.
"They hope to set up a special audit team with us, independent of all matters, to determine the fairness of the procedure."
Hearing this, Xiangyang was silent for a moment.
But the next second a smile appeared on his face. What is the fairness of the procedure? Isn't it just for money?
"What are your thoughts on the next management of the club?" Axel thought Xiang Yang's smile was strange.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but have you read Bea Shaffer's report?" Xiang Yang curled his lips: "I also have some good news. The forward of this club wants to leave. ”
"."
Axel rolled his eyes at Xiang Yang.
This is really bad news for you.
Originally, like Xiang Yang, he didn't pay much attention to this club. Since the acquisition was finalized, he took a look at the current situation of Liverpool and finally understood what kind of club he wanted to buy.
Yes, that’s right.
In the 2010-2011 season, it is appropriate to use this term to describe Liverpool.
If you want to make a chart of the ability of major giants to retain core players, then Liverpool will probably be seen at the end.
Sold Alonso and Arbeloa for 40 million euros. Mascherano was sold for 20 million euros + 8 million additional terms.
Andre Dossena was released for 4.25 million euros
There are countless players who are also seeking transfers.
Babel, Danny Wilson, Aquilani, Pacheco, Ayala, Konchesky, Paulson, Joe Cole
This is totally Bought a supermarket!
“Do you have any other news?” Axel asked again.
"Yes." Xiangyang shrugged.
AC Milan hopes to bring Gerrard to Saint Rossi for 50 million euros. Is this news exciting enough?
AC Milan is not the only one interested in the Liverpool captain.
Inter Milan also expressed strong wishes.
“Then what do you think?”
“We won’t sell any of them unless the price is high enough to satisfy us.”
Xiang Yang snorted.
He feels that after selling the valuable players in the team, coupled with the brand's sponsorship injection, the debt dilemma can be reversed very quickly.
But the problem is, supermarkets don’t open like this.
Nongfu Spring can be sold for 3 yuan after being chilled, so why sell it for 8 cents?
“I think that after we complete the acquisition, we need to hold a meeting for the players and their agents. We don’t mind the players leaving, but if they want to leave, it will definitely not be as easy as before.”
When he thought that the owner of this club had easily let go of players due to debt problems and benefited Barcelona and Real Madrid, Xiang Yang was itching with hatred.
In the future, we must earn back our capital with profits!
"By the way, prepare your speech." Axel looked at Xiang Yang with a half-smile.
"Speech?"
"You will be the CEO of HYS Sports Investment. If you don't speak, will you let me, the boss, do the work for you?"
"." Xiangyang.
"What? Do you have any objections?"
"That's not true." Xiang Yang shook his head, "But I have to leave in two days and have to rush to China to attend the opening of the Asian Games."
"Then we will hold a press conference after you come back, but before that, you have to accompany me to an event."
Axel waved jokingly He shook his hands, indicating that he did not have time to attend the press conference.
If you have the time, you might as well go to the golf course and swing a couple of shots.
"What's there to play in golf?" Xiang Yang commented dismissively.
The ball went into the bunker and couldn't come out.
“You don’t understand the charm of this.” Axel was very proud and wanted to pull Xiangyang to have a good chat about golf.
In his opinion, Xiangyang should have more contact with this sport.
Talking with people while playing basketball is a skill that every executive should master.
"Then I might as well go cycling." Xiang Yang, who had no interest in golf, firmly rejected the proposal.
After saying that, he turned to look at Bea Shaffer and asked: "If you are free, would you like to play some shots with him?"
Bea Shaffer was stunned for a moment, very surprised. Speechless.
Is there any reason to send yourself out?
"You don't have to worry about it, I've already made an appointment." Seeing her simply rolling her eyes at Xiang Yang, Axel laughed heartily and said:
"Beckham, what's wrong? Like, are you interested?"
"Isn't he in the United States?"
"Nasser is coming too," Axel said to Xiangyang pretending to be mysterious.
"Okay." Xiangyang looked at Axel and thought about it for a few seconds before agreeing.
The chairman of Paris Saint-Germain personally invited Beckham to play golf and wanted Axel to accompany him.
There must be something going on here.
Maybe he wants to bring Beckham back to European football.
While still thinking about it, the door of the hotel conference room was lightly knocked, and a group of people appeared outside the door of the conference room.
No need to guess, someone from the Liverpool team has arrived.
"Okay, it's time for you to meet your next new employee."
Axel raised his hand to indicate that Xiang Yang would be the plenipotentiary representative of Hermès at this meeting.
He was just accompanying us.
"Well, let's get started." Xiangyang stood up from his seat without hesitation.
Across the way, the CEO of Oaktree Capital and the employees of his team watched this scene silently and savored it carefully.
Sure enough, it was the same as the news they investigated.
The Chinese man in front of me is the key figure leading the acquisition.
Although he has not had in-depth contact before, it seems that he and Axel were just communicating about the club's next transfer operation.
It can be confirmed that he has no objection to the acquisition.
As the door of the conference room opened, the people from the Liverpool team came into view.
To the surprise of everyone present, the club's current head coach Roy Hodgson also appeared on the team.
Seeing him, Xiang Yang frowned.
According to Bea Shaffer's investigation, Joe Cole, Danny Wilson and Paul Konchesky, who are currently in the Liverpool team and have left the team, were all bought by this guy this summer.
The players are all clamoring to leave.
What he said about terminating the contract.
£7.3 million.
Recalling the numbers on the contract, Xiang Yang couldn't help but sigh.
It’s too expensive.
It’s worth more than him!
Rub!
