I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Dividends are of course good, and can even take the stock price to a higher level.

As a shareholder, no one likes to have money in their hands.

Gu Ran's total shares now add up to more than 55%. If the club pays dividends, Gu Ran will naturally earn a lot.

However, from the perspective of the club's development, success in just one season is really not the time to reward meritorious service. Instead, it should spend a lot of money to adjust the club's player structure and salary structure, send away incompetent players, and buy capable players. player of.

After all, Southampton will play in the English Championship in the new season, and it will also aim to upgrade to the Premier League and play in the Europa League.

If we only relied on the lineup from the old season, even if we were exhausted, we wouldn't be able to win the championship.

During this summer window, the club must invest a lot of money in strong signings.

As the real owner of Southampton, if Gu Ran stands up and confronts the management at this time, the result will definitely be an equity war. And once the management unites, even if Gu Ran can finally take absolute control of the club Quan, I'm afraid it will also seriously hurt Southampton's vitality.

Just when Mendes was still at a loss to acquire the remaining shares and saw that the Southampton Club's equity war was about to begin, Gu Ran took the initiative.

Gu Ran dialed the personal phone number of Katerina Liebherr, the heir to the Liebherr Group.

When Katerina Liebherr, who was far away at the German headquarters, received a call from Gu Ran, she couldn't believe it.

Although Catalina is the big boss of Southampton, Catalina, who is slightly fat, is still a bit shy in interpersonal relationships, and Catalina is not interested in football. The reason why she took over Southampton is purely Because of my father’s last wish before he died.

After the two of them exchanged polite greetings on the phone, Gu Ran said straight to the point: "Ms. Liebherr, thank you for answering my call. I also know that your time is very precious, but I still want to take up more of you." Take a moment to talk about the current situation of the club."

Catalina immediately said: "Gu, please don't be so polite to me! To be honest, I don't have any confidence in running a football club. I thought Southampton should have dropped to England last season. B, but I never expected that under your leadership, the Southampton team would make great progress! The Southampton club also turned a profit within one year and achieved a financial reversal. This is all yours. Credit! So, no matter what your request is, I am willing to grant it to you!"

Gu Ran said immediately: "Ms. Liebherr, to be honest, I want your... equity."

Catalina on the other end of the phone was stunned for several seconds.

When she heard Gu Ran say "I want you", Catalina's heart was beating wildly.

As a result, the next second, Gu Ran said that he wanted the equity in her hands.

Catalina calmed down, "Oh, Gu, are you kidding? I mean, although the equity in my hand is not all of the Southampton Club, it is still in a position of absolute control, and with the The current share price of Southampton Club, the total amount of my shares is a very, very large amount of money. I admit that you should be very rich now, but if you want to buy the club, it is definitely not enough."

Gu Ran smiled and said: "Miss Liebherr, I don't need to worry about this. You may not know it yourself, but your shares are no longer the largest holding. The sports company under my name now holds 55%. ”

Catalina exclaimed: "What? This, this is impossible, right?"

Gu Ran smiled and said: "I'm not joking, dear Ms. Liebherr. In fact, with my current equity, I can definitely ask for the management rights of the club's senior management. Of course, I also know that if I directly exercise the rights of the major shareholder to ask for replacement Management, then the Southampton Club will definitely be a bloody battle for power, which will definitely not be a good thing for the Southampton team that has just escaped from the predicament. Since we love the same club, I think it’s best for us to resolve this matter peacefully. So, my plan is that I am willing to pay a premium of 2 times to acquire all the shares in your hand.”

A premium of twice this price is definitely very high. However, if we don’t increase our efforts to acquire decisively now, when Southampton wins the championship in the new season, becomes a Premier League team, and even wins the Europa League trophy, let alone twice the premium, I’m afraid the premium will be 10 times, they may not be available for purchase.

Moreover, although Catalina did not come out publicly, she had been silently supporting Gu Ran in private.

The biggest fan of Gu Ran's global fan club is funded by Catalina personally.

For this reason, when Gu Ran seized Catalina's equity, he had to give Catalina a fair price.

After hearing Gu Ran's quotation, Catalina couldn't help but said in surprise: "Gu, are you sure you are really not joking?"

Gu Ran said: "You can check Southampton's equity status now."

Catalina said: "Okay, please wait a moment, let's not hang up the phone."

"Ok, I will wait for you."

On the other end of the phone, after a lot of busy work, Catalina said in a trembling voice: "Hello? Gu, are you still online?"

"Yes, Ms. Catalina, I'm always here."

"God! I saw the equity investigation report sent by the staff. I, I, I, I couldn't believe my own eyes... Gu, I really want to know, how did you do it?"

Now that things have happened, Gu Ran no longer needs to hide it. In the worst case, if the acquisition fails, he will just break up and start an equity war, so Gu Ran can speak out.

Gu Ran cleared his throat and said: "Ms. Liebherr, although playing football is my main job, I also have many side jobs, such as writing scripts for Hollywood. The most popular movies this summer are currently, "Steel" "Batman 2", "Avengers", and "Batman 2" are all written by me. Through the global box office share, the money I have now is enough to buy the entire Southampton Club."

"Oh! God! Gu! You are so awesome! I can't believe it! You are the best scriptwriter among the world's scriptwriters, and you are also the best scriptwriter among the world's kickers!" Katrin Na said excitedly: "What a shame, I just found out that you are actually related to Hollywood! Then you... must know many celebrities, right?"

Damn it, when we were talking about acquiring equity, why did we end up talking about celebrities?

Gu Ran smiled helplessly, "I know a few, but not enough."

Catalina sighed: "I really want to know celebrities. My favorite star is Taylor Swift. Unfortunately, you are a Hollywood screenwriter, so you probably don't know Taylor."

Damn it?

Gu Ran smiled and said: "I really don't know other singers, but I'm really familiar with Taylor Swift. Many of her songs, how should I say, I helped write for her."
