Chapter 777

Tang En came to London mainly to talk about two big projects, one is the Harry Potter theme park and the other is the football club.

The former is in the name of New Universal, while the latter is Tang En's personal behavior.

However, they can be discussed together.

It is conceivable that once this Harry Potter theme park is built, it will become a playground that the whole of Britain... and even the whole of Europe will flock to!

It will bring strong tourism benefits.

There are more tourists, and the important local football atmosphere will also benefit from it.

There is no problem with the project of building a Harry Potter theme park. The London City Government is willing to set aside a piece of land for free in the northern region where land is very expensive.

You know, North London is a rich area, and it happens that Arsenal is also here. As for the Chelsea bought by the Russian billionaire Abramovich, it is in West London, where... it is a civilian area.

Not only that, the London City Government is also willing to connect with the Royal Bank of Union to provide a loan of 500-600 million US dollars to help promote this project.

Sincerity is great.

However, when it comes to football clubs, it is difficult.

Especially Arsenal, Dunn's favorite!

In the past season, Arsenal has played 37 games. As a result, 26 wins and 11 draws have already defended the Premier League champion ahead of schedule! Now, the whole English football is concerned about whether Arsenal will end the season with an amazing achievement of unbeaten season.

The Arsenal club with such a high spirit, as well as the Gunners fans, will let an American owner take over the team?

In the eyes of the "noble" British, Yankees...are a group of nouveau riche and country guys.

That cultural desert only steals British historical heritage, what is there to show off?

Arsenal are the Premier League champions, the top club!

At this peak period, Arsenal wants to be famous and famous, and needs sponsors to have sponsors. There is no need for any transfer to the Americans!

This is fundamentally different from Chelsea selling Abramovich.

Chelsea was on the verge of bankruptcy and couldn't keep going, so it was forced to be taken over by a Russian with a lot of money.

Do Arsenal need it?

Needless to say, football is really the hottest topic in the UK, no worse than entertainment news.

Tang En had just had a little contact with Arsenal's CEO David Dunn, and the pervasive media immediately exposed the inside information.

"The richest man in the world will take over the Premier League champion! "

"Famous Hollywood director Dunn Walker has secret contact with Arsenal's top management! "

"Americans Play Football Too?" Champions don't compromise! "

"Inside information, Arsene Wenger had a serious difference of opinion with his friend Dern"

Especially bbc TV station, also made a special football report, invited several famous football players with big mouths, and bombarded Tang En on TV, without mercy.

Most of the celebrities who were born as players have no education level, and even in public, they are very outspoken. In the program, the sarcasm towards Tang En, the newly promoted richest man in the world, was obvious.

Even Lee Dixon, a former Arsenal player who turned into a football commentator for the BBC after retiring, said boldly: "If a great club like Arsenal is handed over to an American boy, it will be the end of the world!"

Britain is the birthplace of freedom of the press, and journalists here are almost everywhere.

On the second day after Twain arrived in London, the news that he was going to buy the Arsenal club was already spreading everywhere.

Then... there was overwhelming sarcasm, abuse, and unreasonable trouble.

"David, I need an explanation!"

Tang En's face was gloomy, and he threw the thick stack of newspapers in his hand to the ground.

This is his second meeting with David Dunn.

The location is Tang En's hotel.

David Dunn looked at the newspapers and the bold and enlarged headlines on them, with a bitter expression on his face: "Dawn, this...that's not what I meant."

Tang En said coldly: "We also met in private last time. I don't know who else would break the news to the media!"

David Dunn let out a long sigh.

He can definitely be regarded as a prestigious heavyweight in British football... and even European football as a whole.

Back then, he was the one who advocated the recruitment of French coach Arsene Wenger from the Japanese J-League, and then led Arsenal to complete the revival.

"Twain, I'm just a manager."

"But you are the CEO!"

"But I have to be responsible for the board of directors. Without their support, I can't do anything, and you can't... Forget it, Tang En, I believe you can understand that I am your supporter!"

Tang En narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately came to his senses.

David Dunn is Arsenal's vice-chairman and chief executive, but he is not the boss after all. Regarding whether to accept rich Americans, there will definitely be a lot of controversy in the board of directors.

Once he reports the news to the board of directors, those opponents will naturally jump out.

"It seems... I am very unpopular."

The corner of Tang En's mouth twitched, sounding a bit self-deprecating.

David Dunn's heart skipped a beat, and he felt bad, so he hurriedly said, "Tang En, you don't need to worry. The era of Jinyuan football has arrived, but they haven't seen the situation clearly. I promise, I will try my best Convince Wenger to agree with me."

"Who?" Tang En blinked a few times, "Wenger?"

As a fan, Twain was full of respect for this elegant French coach.

But I didn't expect... the biggest obstacle was him!

The British team is the head coach responsibility system, and the head coach has great power. Especially the Premier League champions in the past two seasons have made Wenger in full swing, and his prestige has even surpassed that of David Dunn, the CEO.

The same is true in history.

David Dunn saw the future development trend of football with a precise vision, and believed that the era of gold dollar football had arrived, and then he worked hard to promote the Russian predator Usmanov to take over Arsenal.

As a result, it was strongly opposed by the conservatives headed by Wenger!

In 2007, the pair of friends who had known each other for many years finally fell out. Wenger and many high-level officials joined forces to drive away David Dunn!

However, Usmanov has more money than Abramovich, and the British simply can't afford it.

In order to check and balance Usmanov, Wenger was also forced to make a compromise, bowed his head to the Americans, and invited American sports tycoon Stan Clark to take over Arsenal.

After all, in the eyes of conservative forces, bowing to the American countrymen is better than bowing to the Russian barbarians.

And then... the crisis for Arsenal came.

Stan Clark didn't invest a dime in the club!

Arsenal has embarked on a period of being forced to sell the captain every year to barely make ends meet... The miserable days are worse than Manchester United!

Why can Wenger refuse invitations from top clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern?

Apart from his love for Arsenal, maybe... he must also feel guilty, right?

This professor of economics is not economical at all in the choice of Arsenal's development route.

"Twain, how about...another method?"

David Dunn knew that Dunn was really angry, so he said carefully.

Tang En glanced at him lightly, but did not speak.

When he learned that even Arsene Wenger objected to his taking over, he no longer had any interest in Arsenal.

"You can buy a part of the shares first, and I can guarantee this, at least... 25%."

"Ah!"

Tang En sneered contemptuously, "25% of the shares... If the major shareholder disagrees, I won't even be able to get in the board of directors, right? It's ridiculous!"

Such an absurd thing actually happened.

After Stan Clark took over Arsenal, with the strong support of Arsene Wenger and a group of high-level executives, he was able to force Usmanov out, even the board of directors refused to let him join.

You know, Usmanov owns more than 30% of Arsenal shares!

It is a proper second largest shareholder!

"No... no."

David Dunn's confidence is not very strong.

"Okay, since everyone doesn't want me to buy Arsenal, why should I put my face on my ass? Hehe, the future is long, Britain...isn't there only one Arsenal!"

Tang En stood up, his eyes sharp, his words firm, and he already made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

Since we can't agree, let's not talk!

Arsenal?

OK.

If you don't appreciate it, then go to fend for yourself, "sell the captain every year" and "hard work to keep the top four" will be fine!

I don't play anymore!

Back then, when Murdoch wanted to acquire Manchester United in its heyday, it attracted the attention of the whole of the UK. All the media, fans, and Manchester United's top management were almost firmly ironic.

In the end, the Ministry of Justice rejected the acquisition application on anti-monopoly grounds because Murdoch owned too many TV stations and would interfere with the broadcast of the Premier League.

This is the end of the uproar about the acquisition.

Unexpectedly, after 5 years, Arsenal in its heyday would repeat the farce of the year for Twain again!

How ridiculous!

Manchester United turned down Murdoch, only to fail against the Glazers.

Then, it began to be crazily sucked blood.

As with Manchester United, so with Arsenal.

Self-inflicted evil, can not live ah.

I don't understand the reason of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

deserve it!

...

"You don't buy the team anymore?"

After David Dunn left dejectedly, Jasmine Bloom came over and poured Dunn a cup of coffee.

"Don't buy it? How is it possible?" Tang En sneered.

In his rebirth, he has always slapped others in the face.

This time, on the territory of the British, he was severely ridiculed.

It seems that his acquisition of Arsenal is a high-ranking one.

It's ridiculous!

Isn't this the highest courtesy for the world's richest man to buy Arsenal?

If it were placed in the United States, which team would be happy when they heard that Twain was going to make an offer to acquire it.

Stupid and ignorant British, really arrogant!

Especially the idiots in football.

No wonder the later Premier League clubs were all divided up by rich people from the United States, China, Russia, and the Middle East.

What do those fat-headed British people do besides drinking, bragging and fighting?

Jasmine Bloom was a little surprised: "I still want to buy it?"

"Arsenal can't do it...they can do it!" Tang En snorted coldly, then waved his hand, "Forget it, I have nothing to talk about with you who are blind to the ball. Tomorrow's affairs are all arranged?"

Jasmine Bloom smiled and said, "Well, there will be a masters match tomorrow. After the match...you can meet."

Tang En sighed, and said cursingly: "I finally understand that the gossip media in the UK is more disgusting than the US! Forget it, let her come to the hotel, so as not to be seen again." ()
