America’s Big Hero - Vol 2 Chapter 482: : Acquisition turmoil

Smith really hates Sean’s behavior of throwing money at the moment!

It made him feel like he was betraying his faith, betraying tradition!

Sean is a devil, he is using blasphemy to destroy his spirit and will, and he is dragging him into the abyss.

Because he was shamefully tempted!

“Sean, you are so hateful, you can’t do this!” Smith said with a painful look on his face, holding his head.

Sean grinned, laughed silently, stretched out his hand and patted Smith’s arm, and said kindly, “Don’t do this, it’s nothing, the pain is only temporary, bear with it and it will pass, you will feel it later All that’s left is to be happy!”

“You should think this way, your contribution is valuable, and you are promoting the great cause of football to the football desert in the United States.”

“You have to let the people in the football desert appreciate the infinite charm of football. Your sacrifice is great and worthy of praise. You will definitely be remembered by football history!”

“This…” After Sean said this, Smith’s expression gradually eased from the heartache and frustration, “Is this really the case? Sean, you can’t lie to me, my soul will be disturbed like that!”

“Of course not!” Sean patted his chest solemnly and said, “I mean, I’m Sean, and I own the largest cable TV network in the United States, covering 320 million people in South America.”

“New Century Media has a dedicated sports channel that broadcasts all kinds of sports programs around the world. Once I become a shareholder of Arsenal, you just need to think about it. I will definitely promote it throughout North America. This is not a matter of course. of it!」

“I will promote the League One, and the focus will be on Arsenal. Arsenal will open up a new territory. He will become the club with the most fans in the world!”

“Isn’t this promoting football, isn’t it for the development of Arsenal?”

Being fooled by Sean, Smith immediately became excited, “Yes, Sean, you are right, why did I forget, you are a media tycoon, since you like football so much, why don’t you promote football!”

“I’m dying for football, for England, for Arsenal, I’m great!”

As if he had found the fulcrum of his belief, the guilt in Smith’s heart disappeared instantly.

That’s $10 million!

Everyone knows what Arsenal is now, or in other words, what English football looks like.

Let’s just talk about today’s game. Highbury Stadium has 38,500 seats. Even if the ticket price is discounted, there are only about 20,000 people actually present, which is less than 60% of the attendance.

This kind of attendance, not to mention making money, is basically losing money, and it has been losing money for several years in a row!

The stadium is aging, the big-name players are missing, the popularity is declining, and the stadium management has encountered great difficulties.

This is still Arsenal in London, and other teams are in even worse condition. In the entire League One, no club is making money.

A third of clubs are on the brink of bankruptcy!

Although this is not the first time this kind of thing has been experienced, it is still frustrating.

Otherwise, the Hillwood family would not release some shares, just to find someone to take the risk.

To be honest, purely from the perspective of value, 10% of the Arsenal team’s shares are not worth 1 million US dollars, and 6 million is considered high, even if the celebrity effect and social attributes attached to Arsenal’s shareholders are included.

After all, now is the low period of English football.

Who made Sean like to throw money at people? He’s really not interested in wasting a few years for an acquisition.

To put it bluntly, hundreds of thousands of dollars per minute!

Since the two reached an agreement, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became cheerful.

The British economy has been sluggish in the past few years. With the 10 million, the Smith family’s business can usher in a turning point, which is the main reason why he chose to agree.

After all, the club does not bring wealth.

sean

He was not in a hurry to sign a transfer agreement with Smith, but just made a verbal agreement first, and he didn’t want to alert the Hillwood family too early.

He still remembers that when Kroenke bought Arsenal in his previous life, Hill Wood publicly laughed, “We don’t need people like him. It’s unimaginable that a Yankee would try to make money from an English football club!”

Sean wants to get rid of the odd stocks outside first, at least more than 30%.

Leaving the field, Smith, as the boss, naturally wanted to entertain Sean. Of course, he wanted to get closer to Sean.

The person who has risen the fastest in the past ten years, the super rich, the family is prominent, and even a little dandruff in Sean’s hands is enough for Smith to eat.

Especially Sean is so generous.

After knowing that Sean wanted to become the major shareholder of Arsenal, Smith reported himself to be brave and helped Sean contact some small shareholders in London.

Danny Fishman, Olufirus Mendoza, Aku Wilkerson…

Even Sean, who is super rich and still has the aura of Rockefeller on his body, has two small shareholders who have different noses and faces when they meet.

It seems that it is a great shame to sell the shares of the British Land Football Club to the Yankees.

Open your mouth for glory and shut up for tradition. It is a century-old belief at every turn, which fully demonstrates the arrogance of the British.

The feeling for Sean is that he is poor and poor.

Of course, all of this collapsed on the spot under Sean’s money-losing offensive.

In just five days, all the share transfer agreements were finalized, and Sean won 35% of Arsenal’s shares in one fell swoop.

When things got to this point, they couldn’t hide it anymore, although Xiao En had already collected shares as quickly as possible.

An American suddenly bought a stake in an English football club. The news seemed to be that a nuclear bomb was detonated directly in London.

The crowd is excited!

Such things as arrogance are not exclusive to the British wealthy class, the entire British society is the same.

Especially in the field of football, the English have always claimed to be the inventor of football, the world’s largest sport, and their arrogance is engraved in their bones.

The entrance of the hotel where I stayed was already surrounded by swarms of reporters, which had already affected the normal operation of the hotel.

But the hotel has nothing to do with this group of uncrowned kings. Not only did they dare not drive them away, but they also asked the hotel to spend money and efforts to entertain them.

This is not an era in which everyone in the future has a channel. In the current society, you are not even given a chance to defend yourself if you are hacked by the media.

The reporter was really arrogant.

For this situation, the hotel had to find Sean.

“Mr. Xiao En, really, really, really can’t do it anymore, you must hold a press conference.” The general manager of the hotel was crying, and he was about to kneel down to Xiao En.

“Why can’t it work, the Germans are coming to attack again?” Sean looked at the hotel manager with a half-smile.

“It’s more serious than this!” The hotel manager rushed to the window in three steps at a time, pointing to the outside and said, “It’s not just the reporters, it’s mainly the angry fans outside, Mr. Xiao En.”

“Look, the two nearby streets have been completely blocked by angry fans. Although the police are doing their best to maintain order, there have been more than 80 fan brawls in just a few hours, and many people have been injured.”

Sean???

No, what the **** is a fan brawl?

Sean walked to the window and looked out. The streets were densely packed with people, just like ants.

Faced with Sean’s question, the hotel manager had a strange look on his face, coughed lightly and said, “It’s mainly the Tottenham fans who laugh at the Arsenal fans.”

“Laughing?” Sean spread his hands, expressing his incomprehension.

…

In the street below, fans of Arsenal’s arch-rival Tottenham gathered and jeered loudly at the Arsenal fans: “Hey, fuckers, Arsenal is bought by the Yankees!”

“nice

Arsenal!”

“Ha ha ha ha!”

One sentence can make the eyes of Arsenal fans turn red, rushing towards them like an angry bull.

Then there was a fight!

As an England fan, it is a shame and a shame for the team to be bought by the Yankees!

This is a real blasphemy against the fans’ beliefs!

It’s like the Koreans yelling at you that Yue Fei suddenly became a Korean, and this happened to be recognized by the United Nations.

The Tottenham fans not only laughed at it, but even made it into a song and sang it loudly on the spot, and even danced on the spot.

Murder!

…

“Calling the Yankees to buy Arsenal to the Arsenal fans is more than pointing their noses and cursing their mothers?” Sean listened to the hotel manager’s explanation, and the veins on his forehead throbbed, what the **** do you mean!

Doesn’t this mean that his name is equal to a grass mud horse?

This is so insulting!

Sean was so angry on the spot, he didn’t know who to vent his anger on.

Tilting his head and looking at the hotel manager, Sean suddenly asked, “Then whose fan are you?”

Ahem, the hotel cleans up with a light cough. Although the hotel is facing major troubles now, the hotel manager still can’t hide the smile on his face. He raised his arms and shouted loudly, “Eternal White Lily!”

Sean: Shit!

Sean is very suspicious now, the guy in front of him is actually laughing at the Arsenal people in his heart.

Mommy Falk!

He is really knowledgeable, crazy fans.

…

Not only was the hotel where Sean stayed was blocked, but the Arsenal club was even more serious.

More than 2,000 Arsenal fans directly surrounded the gate of the club, and posted various banners, so that people from the Hillwood family immediately came out to explain the current situation.

They demanded that the Hillwoods kick Yankees off the board, the holy English football must not be soiled by stupid Yankees!

At this moment, Peter Hillwood, who received the news, was also a little dumbfounded, why the shares were suddenly bought by Sean.

To be honest, Peter Hillwood was stunned when he heard the news, with anger in his stupefaction.

To the Hillwood family, Arsenal was like their own child. The child was suddenly sneaked in from behind by a rude American man. As the child’s father, he was of course very angry.

The 54-year-old Peter Hillwood is not only the owner of Arsenal, but also a banker, engaged in financial investment business.

If the person who bought it wasn’t Sean, and if Rockefeller wasn’t standing behind Sean, Peter Hillwood would definitely do something to make public ridicule right now.

The 70-year-old man in later generations still opened a map cannon to laugh at the Americans.

“Dunn, what kind of idea do you think the Yankee played?” Peter Hillwood looked at his friend and team vice chairman David Dunn.

Peter Hillwood is the chairman of the team, but he has his own job, so the actual manager of the team is David Dunn.

David Dunn is also a shareholder of the team, and the shares come from Peter Hillwood.

At the same time, David Dunne was a candy merchant.

This phenomenon is very common in major European clubs, just like Real Madrid chairman Florentino is also the owner of the largest construction company in Europe, just like the owner of AC Milan and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

They are all using the unparalleled influence of football to support their career development.

Football in Europe is not only a sport, but also penetrates into all aspects of life. Any European leader must be a fan, and if you are not a fan, you cannot win the election.

It’s that serious!

“I suggest not to be in a hurry. It happened too suddenly. I want to appease the fans, and then talk to Mr. Sean to see what the other party means. Can you achieve such a great success in such a short period of time, which Sean do you believe?” It is impossible for Mr. to be as reckless and irritable as in the legend.

There must be some special purpose. ”

“Then…you can go to meet that Yankee first instead of me.” Peter Hillwood said with a snort.

…

At the same time, Prime Minister Major was also confused, “What does Sean want to do? To buy Arsenal, he thinks this will cause trouble for my election?”

“That guy is brutal and cunning. I don’t think it’s that simple.”

“No matter what he wants to do, it’s OK if he can’t do it. Fans won’t like a big toy in the hands of a Yankee whose beliefs have turned into nothing!” Major said viciously: ” Quietly activate the media and let our lovely fans mess with that guy!”

“I see.”

…

While the other two sides were preparing countermeasures, the hotel manager, who finally got Sean’s consent, hurried downstairs to arrange the press conference.

The reporters who received the news rushed in. The hotel manager was prescient and didn’t prepare seats at all. More than 300 reporters rushed in. There was no room for them to sit, so they just stood.

The scene of the press conference was as noisy as a vegetable market, and they didn’t have to wait long before the door behind them was pushed open, and the heavily armed security personnel, wearing black combat uniforms all over, left the establishment.

The first 8 people even held explosion-proof shields in their hands, and went directly to build a human wall in front of the reporter group.

This is the first time that most of the people here saw someone holding a gun at the press conference, many of them were taken aback, and whispered in their mouths: “Damn rude Yankees, what do you think of this place? Is this treating us journalists as ***? This is disrespect for journalists.”

While cursing, they raised their cameras and snapped their shots.

It wasn’t until all the arrangements were made that Sean appeared at the press conference wearing a special bulletproof suit.

This suit is a laboratory product, and the shirt inside is made of laboratory-grade Kevlar material, which can withstand close-range shooting of 5.56*45NATO machine gun bullets.

Of course, because there is no bulletproof plate, the kinetic energy dispersion effect is not good, and it is easy to cause fractures and other flaws.

The reason why the press conference was prepared to be so close to the enemy was mainly because someone disguised as a reporter before and killed the old king of Morocco on the spot with a camera disguised as a howitzer.

It’s so convenient for journalists to be killers, to target you openly with a camera.

This has to make Sean be careful, be careful, be careful, he has no idea of ​​letting others take care of so many wives and children.

As soon as Sean appeared, the scene immediately became noisy. Many reporters yelled and asked questions. It was so noisy that they couldn’t hear anything clearly.

Standing behind the questioning table, Xiao En slightly bowed and pointed at the microphone in front of him and said: “I think you all know me better, if you don’t even know me, then there is no need to be a reporter, because you are too incompetent! ”

“Anyone who has interviewed me knows that I have always been a friend of the media, and I have always been able to create topics and achievements for everyone present, and today is no exception. calm down.”

There were too many people, and there were all kinds of people, but there were still people pushing Lai Lai at the scene, and it was still noisy.

Sean frowned, grabbed a microphone on the table and slammed it directly in front of the speaker on one side.

“squeak!!!”

There was a piercing sound, and everyone subconsciously turned their heads to cover their ears, and the scene finally fell silent.

“If someone makes a **** noise again, don’t ask me, just throw them out!” Sean said with a dark face, not paying attention to this group of uncrowned kings at all.

He was never afraid of someone discrediting him, especially when there were groundless speculations, Sean directly sued him for bankruptcy.

Most of them were interviewing Sean for the first time, and they were very uncomfortable and fierce.

But it was precisely because of this viciousness, and because of the American soldiers with live ammunition around them, even though the guys at the scene were dissatisfied, they still calmed down.

Raising his hand, Sean randomly ordered one, and the reporter immediately cheered.

“Mr. Xiao En, you brought such bodyguards with heavy weapons. Is this legal? Don’t you think this is a kind of disrespect to the reporters?”

“Your question is very good. Don’t ask it next time. It’s a waste of time!” Sean laughed. The PMC company has obtained a legal license, and the company’s registered security personnel are legally qualified to hold guns.”

“As for the issue of respect, too many murderers disguised themselves as journalists to carry out assassination operations. Last year, the King of Morocco was killed by a murderer pretending to be a reporter. Why do I pay attention to personal safety? Or should I take this kind of strict protection so that you cannot complete it? Assassination, so you are dissatisfied?”

“I have reason to doubt your motives for speaking, I don’t care which newspaper or radio station you are, just send them a travel lawyer letter. Sean turned his head to Norris and said, “I will fight this lawsuit at the cost of 5 million legal fees.”

Fearing that he couldn’t find someone to kill a chicken and make a monkey, let the British reporter get to know him well, this guy jumped out, and Sean naturally accepted it.

It’s only 5 million US dollars. Buying a bad-talking character can save a lot of trouble, and Sean thinks it’s worth it.

If necessary, 10 million is not impossible!

In a word, the face of the reporter who just found fault turned pale, and the press conference fell into a dead silence.

Reporters are not afraid of someone arguing with them. The more violent the quarrel, the better, and it can bring traffic. It doesn’t matter if they usually clamor to mail a lawyer’s letter.

But they were afraid that Xiao En’s unruly behavior would be too cruel, and it would be too scary to take money for money, and just throw money at people.

In this kind of public occasion, Sean said 5 million lawyers’ fees, so he would definitely spend so much money, but both parties in the lawsuit must hire lawyers, and if the entanglement continues, no one will spend less money.

He is absolutely miserable for causing such a big loss to the company.

This time, the reporter who originally wanted to make things difficult for Sean immediately died down.

As if nothing happened, Sean randomly picked a reporter from The Sun.

“Mr. Sean, what is the reason that gave you the idea of ​​acquiring an English football club. ”

“Many, first, I am a football fan myself. Although the United States is called a football desert, there are tall cacti growing in the desert, and I am a football fan.” Sean said with a smile, “I like sports very much. There is an NBA team, an ice hockey team, and two stadiums. I think people have money, and it’s okay to spend some money for their hobbies.”

“Spending money on sports is more meaningful than the same yachts, fine wines, beautiful women and so on every day. Those things will only make people bored after a long time. I prefer to spend my spare time watching football. Every game is unknown, and every game has surprises.”

There was a burst of applause at the scene, don’t care if you like Sean or not, there is nothing wrong with what you said, although everyone wants to experience the feeling of boredom.

“A lot of fans outside are protesting now. They oppose an American becoming a shareholder of the team. What do you think about this?”

“Football has no borders. Anyone who likes football can participate. As for whether you are a Yankee, it does not depend on me, but on English football itself.”

“I also want to simply be a fan, but the reality doesn’t allow it. English football is sick, very sick…” When Sean was speaking, the projection equipment that had been prepared behind him started up, and a piece of data appeared on the big screen.

Every year since British football was banned from European competitions in 1985, data from every club appears on it.

The statistics will not lie. British football is going downhill, and there is no end in sight. There is no club in the entire League One that makes money. Most of them are operating at a loss, and many are on the verge of bankruptcy.

No one has ever made detailed statistics on this, and Xiao En suddenly made such a move, which instantly shocked everyone.

The decline happened little by little, and the frog was boiled in warm water. No one realized that the matter was so serious before it was exposed.

“I don’t know what to do

How to solve the problems encountered by British football, but I know that no matter what method is used to solve it, he needs money, a lot of money, and it just so happens that I, Sean, have money, very rich. As a fan, I am willing to help myself Hobbies, contribute to British football. ”

“Maybe money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible!”

“I don’t know how much Arsenal spent last year. With Sean here, the budget will double this year!!”

Being rich is just so arrogant, one sentence stunned everyone present.

I don’t know if he loves the team or not, but he really dares to pay!

At this moment, UU reading www.uukanshu. The manager of the Tottenham fan hotel who was watching by the side was jealous, he also wanted Tottenham to be so rich!

It is not 10 years after the establishment of the Premier League, and it is not the most profitable league in the world.

At this trough, Sean believed that he could smash the legs of all the British people with money, and the British people who smashed them would automatically split their legs and greet him with smiles on their faces.

…

Let’s just say buying unpopular football, buying luxury cars, buying footballs the other way around, villas near the sea, occasionally buying draws, driving Bugatti, betting heavily on unpopular, surpassing demolition households…

Today, it’s all done!

Fireworks overwhelm Japan, 100,000, less.

Finally, ask for a monthly pass!

There are only more than 1,000 monthly tickets this month, which is too little…

Begging for 2,000 monthly tickets, just give one to each person!
