Manchester City.
Li Mu knows that this club is in the same city as Manchester United, but it is his impression that Manchester City's overall strength and reputation are much worse than Manchester United.
Even worse than Chelsea before Abu joined the team, this team ’s trend after 2010 is relatively bright, but that also happened after the team completed the capital replacement and the Middle East rich took over. .
Li Mu asked Davidson: "What season did Manchester City take from the 02 to 03 season?"
Davidson was fully prepared before coming, so he replied: "Mr. Li, last season, Manchester City took the ninth place."
Li Mu nodded: "A total of 20 teams, the ninth place, can only be regarded as a little bit above average."
Finally, Li Mu asked again: "What about Manchester United?"
Davidson said helplessly: "Mr. Li, Manchester United was the champion last season."
Li Mu smacked his lips and asked again: "What place did Manchester City take in the 01-02 season?"
Davidson embarrassedly said: "This ... Manchester City just advanced to the Super League in the 01-02 season, but immediately relegated back to the First Division, and then re-advanced to the Super League in 02."
After finishing, Davidson seemed a little dissatisfied to see Li Mu, hastily said: "Mr. Li, if you are not very satisfied with Manchester City, I can continue to look for you. I will let someone contact Liverpool or Assen tomorrow Na and Newcastle United will see if they are interested in shooting. "
Li Mu waved his hand and said: "No need Davidson, if Manchester City are really interested in shooting, then chat with Manchester City's behind-the-scenes capital, if the price is right, I will buy it."
The voice just dropped, Li Mu added hastily added: "Oh, right, please help me tell them, I only consider a wholly-owned acquisition."
The strength of the Manchester City team although is not very strong, but the overall strength is definitely much stronger than any domestic club. As long as it is won, it can be used as a bridgehead for overseas training and training of China players, and, The team ’s previous performance was not too good, but it started better. If you really buy a defending champion like Manchester United, if you play third next year, then Manchester United fans and the British media will surely sour themselves and take the team The blame for the drop in grades is on the China boss.
Li Mu will not give these arrogant British people such acting cool opportunities.
Buy a non-slip team like Manchester City, spend some money to get a better coach, and then introduce a group of excellent players, the team strength will inevitably go up, played last ninth, can play this year In the eighth, fans and the media will not be blindly compared, if you can enter the top five, the atmosphere will be more relaxed.
Seeing Li Mu's decision to acquire Manchester City, Davidson hastily nodded and said, "Mr. Li, I will probably introduce the situation of the Manchester City Club for you."
Li Mu waved his hand and said: "Thank you Davidson, but I do n’t need to introduce it in detail. I am not interested in its current financial affairs status and the capital structure behind the scenes. I am also not interested in its active players. The current head coach is even less interested. As long as you tell me a price that can be managed, I will arrange for someone to come and connect with them. "
For Li Mu, an English Premier League club can range from tens of millions of pounds to as much as hundreds of millions of pounds. Spending this amount of money does n’t require much effort to understand so much, understand an approximate price, and then let Just come over and negotiate.
Davidson naturally knows the meaning of Li Mu's. For him, a sale of tens of millions or 120 million pounds is no longer worth his effort to understand, analyze and research, just like a billion. The rich man went to buy a car, as long as he was fancy, he only needed the other party to tell him a number, and then he wrote a check that's alright according to the number.
So, Davidson said: "Mr. Li, the current price quoted by Manchester City is around 100 million pounds, but the actual transaction price should be able to be reduced to 65-70 million pounds."
Li Mu nodded and said: "Then I will let people talk at the price of 80 million. By the way, Davidson, you should know the people over there. Please introduce me to an interface person."
Davidson's expression hesitated for a moment. After about ten seconds, he said to Li Mu: "Chief Li, among the shareholders of Manchester City, there are several very stubborn old British people who are declining but stubborn. Old-money, like money, need money, but always pretend not to be short of money and do n’t care about money, if you send someone directly to talk to these people for business, there are often two possibilities, one is when the other party sees you China people, tell you directly not to sell; the other is, if you know that it is China people want to buy, and then raise the price, take the opportunity to knock out. "
Li Mu's could not help but frown tightly, and asked him inexplicably: "Does it not sell to China people, or sell to China people at a higher price? What is the reason? Racial discrimination?"
Davidson hastily waved his hand and explained: "This is not racial discrimination, but this gang of stubborn people is too self-righteous, they look down on anyone but them, you are richer than him, he will culture with you, You compare culture with him, he compares family history with you, you must compare family history with him, he may compare football with you, if football can not compare with you, he will compare with the amount of wine ... "
Li Mu smiled helplessly and asked, "What about your suggestion?"
Davidson said: "My suggestion is, let the Goldberg family talk to them about the acquisition. Let's negotiate first and determine the price. If Mr. Li has no opinion, we will contract with them, audit and complete the acquisition. Then transfer the original price of this club to Mr. Li you. "
Li Mu thought for a while, then nodded and agreed. He did n’t want to talk to the old stubborn business, too tired, wasting energy and feelings. If Davidson could do it for him, it would be better.
So, Li Mu said to Davidson: "Sturdy Muye Science and Technology will pay the Goldberg family a 10% commission on the purchase amount as a thank you."
Davidson laughed: "Mr. Li, the commission is not necessary, we are friends, you are also a valuable customer of our Goldberg family, if you pay commission for this little thing, it is really too much."
Li Mu smiled and said: "We are friends, but I also believe in a principle, that is, never let others volunteer to help."
Davidson nodded gently, he probably understood the meaning of Li Mu's in his heart, he could not accept his duty to help, and he could not freely win the lead qualification of the future IPO of Muye Science and Technology from Li Mu, if Li Mu is not open Mouth, then the next thing is really difficult to advance.
So Davidson did n’t say much, and told Li Mu: "Mr. Li, it ’s about time, let ’s go downstairs and have breakfast."
"Okay."
......
The Goldberg family arranged breakfast in two restaurants. The banquet hall was used to arrange most people ’s meals yesterday. In addition, a small restaurant was arranged to arrange important guests.
Davidson brought Li Mu to a specially arranged small restaurant. Not many people dine here, probably like a dozen people. Among them, there are only four members of the Goldberg family, and most of the remaining members of the Goldberg family , All entertain other guests in the banquet hall.
Wendy is entertaining guests at this moment. As the granddaughter of the Goldberg family, she personally worked in the restaurant, not only greeted each guest enthusiastically, but even actively sent the latest newspapers and magazines this morning.
When I saw Davidson and Li Mu coming in together, she greeted hastily and said with a smile: "Grandpa, Mr. Li, good morning, what do you want to eat?"
Davidson pointed to Wendy and said to Li Mu: "Look, my favorite granddaughter, as a waiter, is more professional than a professional."
Wendy smiled and said: "Grandpa, did you forget that I had worked as a summer worker in Starbucks before?"
"Oh ... I almost forgot." Davidson patted his head and smiled: "I'm still the same, I will just talk to Mary directly later, you still take the professional skills you learned at Starbucks, Use it to serve Mr. Li, a guest from afar. "
Wendy threw out his tongue, and then said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, the front page headlines of British newspapers today are all about you!"
Li Mu smiled and asked: "Is it?"
Wendy picked up a folded new newspaper and exposed the first edition to Li Mu, saying, "Look, this is today's Times, the front page headline."
A closer look at Li Mu, the front page headline of The Times is written in huge and eye-catching text: "Twitter, another internet MU Online / miracle created by Li Mu!"
The picture of the article is actually a photo of himself and Prince William published on Twitter by Li Mu yesterday.
Li Mu smiled slightly and ridiculed: "It looks like I am more photogenic than Prince William."
Wendy smiled, then moved closer to Li Mu and whispered in his ear: "When Prince William just came, the face was red, and looks at was very happy. Just now he received an important call and went outside I went to talk on the phone and asked me when I was leaving, saying that when you come, you must let me invite you to have breakfast with him. Do you think it ’s okay? "
Li Mu said indifferently: "I can do it."
Wendy smiled and said: "Come with me then, I'll pour you a cup of coffee first, Prince William should be back soon."
......
At this time, William is on the lawn outside the castle, excitedly talking with his father on the phone.
As of half an hour ago, William had harvested five million fans on Twitter. This number shocked the entire British royal family.
The five million fans come from all over the world. Almost all of them know and follow William through Li Mu'sTwitter. In the previous decades, the British royal family has not received such high attention in the world. And William not only stepped on a brand-new world-class stage, but even became one of the protagonists on this stage. This is of great significance to the entire royal family.
What is more exciting for the royal family is that this morning, William and Li Mu's's group photo began to be adopted by a large number of media. Not only the British local media, but also the media in other European countries are using this photo to report on the grand occasion of Twitter sweeping the world. This photo, as the first photo posted by Li Mu on Twitter, is naturally very significant.
As a result, William has successfully rubbed most of the headlines on Twitter and Li Mu's, and even many media have written articles specifically for William, and these media are very optimistic about William ’s future, because there is no reason for him It is because of his young age that he has become a friend of Li Mu's. Not only has he been a group photo in the first Weibo of Li Mu, he even got the first @ Li Mu's. If he can continue to maintain a good relationship with Li Mu, yes For the future British royal family, it is definitely a great thing.
So, William ’s father personally called him early in the morning and gave him three tasks:
First, continue to increase friendship and get closer to Li Mu at Goldberg Estate;
Second, continue to update your Twitter to show the culture and temperament of the British royal family to the world fans;
Third, Li Mu is invited to Buckingham Palace as a guest.
