Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Milou has stayed in France for a long time, is fluent in French, and has known Wenger before.

Hearing Milu's modesty, Wenger said with a smile: "Bola, you don't have to be so humble. I believe that under your leadership, this Chinese team will definitely achieve good results. It will not be long before the next World Cup." Yes, I hope to see you and your team at the World Cup, and I will definitely be there to watch the game."

Milu smiled and said, "Thank you, we will definitely work hard."

"You played very well today, but it is a pity that the young players who accompanied the team were not allowed to play. Highbury is a very magical stadium. If these young players can play for even one minute Football is very beneficial to them. For football, the current strength is of course very important, but the future is more important. Young people are the future. As long as young people grow up well, there will be champions sooner or later."

Wenger's words must be from the heart. Although he has only coached Arsenal for a few years, everyone knows that he is a coach who pays great attention to the growth of young players, and he has a unique vision for young players.

Milu nodded, "There are still two games to come, I will try to let everyone have playing time."

A coach of Milu's level certainly knows the meaning of training young people, but it is not easy for him to send young people.

Their opponent today is Arsenal. They have to be careful in making any decision, mainly because this lineup has just started to play a little bit, and Milu doesn't want to interrupt them just because they want to train young people.It is a taboo on the court that the team changes easily when it is in a state.

Moreover, if the score is enlarged after the replacement of young people, it is not very good for the development of young people, and it is easy for young players to lose confidence.

However, Milu still listened to Wenger's words. He made up his mind that one of the next two games should be played to give young people more opportunities to perform.

……

After the match between the national football team and Arsenal, they will rest for two days. They have not rested in these two days, and they still conduct regular training under the leadership of Milu.

Yu Dong and his writers held a book signing in London.

After the autograph session in London, Yu Dong rushed to Manchester to continue the autograph session there.

He will hold a total of two signings in Manchester, and now he will open one first. After the national football match with Nottingham Forest is over, he will return to Manchester from Nottingham Forest with the team and then open the second one.

After the first signing in Manchester, Yu Dong went to Nottingham to watch the second match of the national football team in England.

As soon as Yu Dong arrived in Nottingham, before he even put his luggage away, he received a call from Jimmy, who also rushed to England.

After talking to Cheng Yanqiu, Yu Dong went to Jimmy's room.

Jimmy just flew over from the United States, but there was no trace of travel fatigue on his face. When he saw Yu Dong, he said with a smile, "You should be satisfied with the result of the first game against Arsenal. I also saw the domestic news. , the domestic audience also seems to be very satisfied with the game."

Yu Dong nodded: "Well, it's not bad. We scored at least two goals, which will be very helpful for preparing for the World Cup qualifiers. And on the scene, the players performed very well."

"Work hard. This time, we are advanced to the finals of the World Cup. After a few rounds of success, China can also try to apply for hosting the World Cup. You are full of thoughts about hosting the Olympics, but the economic effect of the Olympics is far from that of the World Cup. If you can hold it once The World Cup means more to China."

Yu Dong twitched his lips, "Let's talk about the Olympic bid first."

Jimmy smiled and curled his lips, "It's rare for me to see you so unconfident. I think you are very confident in your bid to host the Olympics. It's actually not as difficult as you think to bid for the World Cup. The football is good enough, the main thing is With the development of China's economy and the large number of fans, there are still advantages."

"Ahem, let's not talk about this for now. What are you mainly doing here this time? Why did you come here suddenly?"

Jimmy didn't plan to come to the UK before, he came suddenly, so Yu Dongting was quite surprised.

"I'm just here to see you, you won't believe me, right?" Jimmy said with a smile.

Yu Dong shrugged his shoulders, "Why don't you believe me?"

"Because I don't even believe it myself, in fact, I came here for Manchester United." Jimmy said.

Yu Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "Manchester United, is there anything in Manchester United worth your special trip?"

Although Deep Space Corporation holds a few percent of Manchester United's shares, in many industries in Deep Space, this share is still not enough.Yu Dong really couldn't think of anything at Manchester United that was worth Jimmy's special trip. He couldn't really come to watch the football. Jimmy didn't have much interest in football.

"We now have the hope of increasing our stake from three percent to 30.00 percent."

"Really?" Yu Dong was very surprised. He didn't know much about Manchester United's shareholding structure. He was surprised that Deep Space Company could get a share of 30.00:[-]. Three increased to [-]%, he couldn't believe it.Where did these thirty shares come from, and you can buy them if you want?
In Yu Dong's opinion, there is no reason to sell Manchester United's shares in his hands.

Seeing Yu Dong's reaction, Jimmy didn't find it strange at all. He said with a smile, "Of course, if I hadn't gotten the news, I wouldn't have traveled so far. There are still many things for me to do in the United States." , as you know, the two companies, Doctor Cat and Confinity, are still in the integration stage.”

"Where did you hear the news, and who will get the extra shares? In addition, this is close to 30.00% of the shares, and we can't get it for nothing. How much does it cost? We are now Will there be any problems with the liquidity of the company, after all, the company just acquired Confinity spent a lot of money."

Jimmy smiled and said, "You've got the point. They're asking $30.00 million for nearly [-]% of the shares. It's still difficult for us to come up with so much money now."

"But you're still here because you think it's a good deal even though it's difficult?" Yu Dong guessed.

Jimmy shook his head, "If it's just the 30.00% of the shares, even if the price is not expensive, I won't make a special trip. 30.00% of the shares can't bring us anything. For us, three percent and 30.00% shares, the difference is not that great.”

"You mean, there are more shares to be obtained?" Yu Dong showed an even more incredible expression.

"That's right, if we can take the first 30.00% of the shares, we hope to get another 30.00%, and then increase our shares to at least 70.00%. The next step is to harvest the rest of the shares and take all of Manchester United. hand."

Yu Dong looked at Jimmy in surprise, he didn't expect Jimmy to want to buy Manchester United directly.

In Yu Dong's opinion, if they can really buy Manchester United, they will certainly not lose money, but the question is, can they do it if they want to buy Manchester United?
Buying less than 30.00% of the shares would cost more than [-] million US dollars, but now they want to buy all the shares, it must cost more than a billion US dollars, and now Deep Space Corporation simply cannot come up with so much cash.And even if they had money, would others be willing to sell it to him?

Jimmy saw Yu Dong's thoughts and said with a smile, "I know, we can't afford that much money now, but we can raise money. As long as we can increase our shares to 30.00%, then we can rely on This part of Manchester United's assets takes money from the bank, and with this money, we can get all the shares."

Hearing Jimmy's plan, Yu Dong narrowed his eyes. He knew that this was capital's play, but the problem was that this kind of short-term financing was not only risky, but also easy to arouse fans' resentment, because for the team In other words, it is equivalent to bearing a lot of foreign debts from the moment Deep Space acquired them.

For example, if Manchester United's shares are worth one billion U.S. dollars, Deep Space will invest [-] million U.S. dollars to buy part of their shares, and then use this part of the shares to raise [-] million yuan to take the remaining shares.

This is equivalent to Manchester United carrying a debt of [-] million US dollars. If Deep Space Corporation does not manage well, Manchester United will be in a very difficult situation.

If Deep Space really got Manchester United in this way, would Manchester United fans feel that Deep Space is not authentic?
Jimmy looked at Yu Dong, "Are you thinking, will it hurt the feelings of Manchester United fans?"

After working together for so many years, Jimmy certainly knows Yu Dong. He knows that sometimes Yu Dong is always so kind to a woman.

Yu Dong nodded, "I do have concerns about this."

Jimmy waved his hand, "Don't worry, after we win Manchester United, we won't interfere with the team. Manchester United is still the same Manchester United, but with a different owner."

As if afraid of Yu Dong, Jimmy continued, "This time is a good opportunity. I got the news by chance that the two shareholders of Manchester United, McManus and John Magniel, intend to sell their shares. They The total of the shares in the two hands is about 20.00%. During this period of time, I am going to contact Harry Dobson to see his reaction. If the 30.00% shares in his hands can also be sold to us, Then we can get more than 60.00% of the shares, and our plan will be successful."

"How long will it take for this to happen?" Yu Dong asked.

Jimmy thought for a while and said, "It can be as short as one month or as long as three months. We can get the shares held by McManus and the others, and then go for financing, and use the financing money to buy the remaining shares. , it will take at least a year and a half to get all the shares. Calculated, it should be almost the same by the time of the World Cup."

Yu Dong pondered for a while, and said, "Since you want to do it, then go for it. If it doesn't work, don't raise money. The two of us will start another company and slowly get all the shares of Manchester United."

Although the cat doctor and the ticket office have been established one after another, Yu Dong still has a lot of cash in his hands.

Jimmy waved his hand: "It's not necessary, it's too risky to do so, and our money needs to be used for real purposes. I roughly calculated that we only need to spend [-] million U.S. dollars to take all the shares of Manchester United. If this business fails , we will lose at most [-] million U.S. dollars."

In fact, it is not easy to lose [-] million US dollars.

……

On the second day, the Chinese team played a very exciting game against Nottingham Forest.

Compared with Arsenal, Nottingham Forest's strength is much lower, but their level is still higher than that of the Chinese team. It is no problem to play a coaching game with the Chinese team.

For the Chinese team, it may be because they just played against Arsenal two days ago, and their mentality has changed. When they played against Nottingham Forest, their state was more relaxed, and their performance was even better than the previous game.

In the end, Nottingham Forest won the game [-]-[-], and the Chinese pair still scored two goals.

It is worth mentioning that the Chinese team boldly replaced two young players in the final stage of the game, and Zheng Zhi, who played in midfield, performed very well. For the second goal, the forward Yang Chen resisted the opponent's defender and made the ball back. Zheng Zhi hit a long shot from the middle of the road and hit a dead corner.

After the game here, Yu Dong did not leave in a hurry, but held a signing event in Nottingham.

The signing event in Nottingham is on the same scale as London, not only Yu Dong, but also Yu Hua and other Chinese writers, as well as Mark Levy, Rowling and George Martin.

Although Nottingham's population is not particularly large, the city's residents generally have a relatively high level of education and a relatively large number of readers, so Yu Dong's signings are still booming here.

After the trip to Nottingham, Yu Dong and the others went to Manchester, the last stop in England.

Manchester United fans are crazier than Arsenal fans, and you can see fans wearing Manchester United jackets everywhere on the street.

In addition, Manchester United made a lot more money from this game than Arsenal.

First of all, the ticket price set by Manchester United for this game is higher than that of Arsenal, which is basically the same as the ticket price for usual games. In addition, they temporarily increased the price in the last two days.

But even if the ticket price has increased in the last two days, the stadium is still full in the end.

The game at Highbury has also reached Manchester. Apart from wanting to watch the game, the fans are also looking forward to the opening performance.

And the opening performance this time did not disappoint the fans, it lasted for four to 10 minutes, which was even worth a small concert.

The guest performers were also different from the previous two shows. In addition to the guests of the previous two shows, Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of the well-known band Queen, also came to the scene and dedicated two songs to the fans.
