Chapter 1546 Spend 100 Million Pounds and Listen to the Sound

For Li Mu, he had no reason to refuse the gift that Davidson handed over to him.

Moreover, he will not have too much sense of responsibility for accepting this gift. At most, he promises Davidson to let HSBC Holdings be the lead underwriter of the future Makino Technology IPO. However, if Davidson fails to meet his own requirements by then, He still won't sell him half of his face.

As for the Manchester City Club, it was actually just Davidson's stepping stone. He laughed at this stepping stone. If he did not perform well after entering the door, he would still kick him out.

Davidson, of course, knew this.

Although HSBC Holdings is very strong, it is still slightly inferior in the US stock market. Under normal circumstances, it is almost meaningless to qualify as the lead underwriter of the IPO of Muye Technology. Now Li Mu can give himself this opportunity because of the face of Manchester City Club. , but if you don't perform well, Manchester City Club will be in vain.

Davidson immediately took out the club's equity transfer contract. The transferor of the shares was a financial company of the Goldberg family in Manchester, and the transferee of the shares was Li Mu himself.

The terms in the contract are very simple. The transferor is willing to unconditionally transfer 100% of the equity of Manchester City to the transferee. The contract only needs to be signed by both parties to take effect.

After Li Mu read the contract in one minute, he signed his name at the signing place with the pen handed over by Davidson.

Davidson also signed his name, then exchanged the contract with Li Mu, and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, congratulations on becoming the only owner of the Manchester City Club."

Li Mu concluded the contract and smiled slightly: "I'm at a loss as to how to manage a football club, and now I don't know how to start."

Davidson laughed and said: "If you don't have money, it does take a lot of energy to run a football club well, but if you have money, it will save you a lot of worry. You can learn from Abu, and first give the team enough salary. As well as bonus benefits, and then take out a sum of money to invest in the club, let the club buy players everywhere to replenish fresh blood, and then wait to watch every next game of the game. Generally speaking, as long as the money is in place , the club's ranking in the league will rise."

Li Mu thought for a moment, then nodded lightly.

He recognized Davidson's suggestion very much. Whether as a club owner or a business owner, there are only two kinds of help he can provide to his subordinates, either technical help or financial help.

The technology about football is basically zero, so it is enough to provide good financial help.

At this stage, I don't have the energy to manage the football club, or even to find a suitable professional manager and head coach for the football club, but one thing I can do is to inject a huge amount of money into the Manchester City Club to use Buy good players.

Muye Technology has continued to make profits, Taobao and Taobao Logistics have also started to make profits long ago. The miracle mu of independent agents is still a cash cow in the Huaxia game market. If you have money, you are qualified for humanity. Li Mu can use his personal assets at any time. Take out hundreds of millions of pounds and smash it into the Premier League to hear a bang.

Moreover, for Li Mu, he is not without any advantages in the field of football. He has a very unique advantage that surpasses anyone in the world of football today.

This unique advantage is that he is very clear that in the world football, who will become the star of tomorrow.

The more recent ones, such as Rooney, Iniesta, Modric, Cesc Fabregas, Ribery, Robben, these world-class players who have become famous later, are still in the golden age of under 20 at this stage. Enough, but they have never had the opportunity to show themselves, which means that their worth is almost very low now;

And there will be the next generation of superstars born in the late 1980s and early 1990s such as Lewandowski, Neymar, Bell, and Ozil in the future. As long as the timing is right, it is possible to spend only a few million pounds. Everyone gets into their own youth training camp. They start from the youth training camp first, then they play for the second team. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, they can represent the first team.

At the same time, Messi has now become a seed player in La Liga Barcelona, ​​and it is impossible to buy him now, but Cristiano Ronaldo should not have joined Manchester United at this stage, and it is even possible that he has just started negotiating a transfer with Manchester United, so it is not if he wants to dig. No chance.

If these players were bought at the best time, the transfer fee alone would have made a profit.

As for the Chinese player Dong Fangzhuo, Li Mu must grab him from Manchester United and let him start his Premier League journey at Manchester City, so as not to let this player repeat the same mistakes as much as possible.

According to this rhythm, in the future, the first and second teams of Manchester City Club will have at least one position for Chinese players, and at least six positions in the youth training camp. Li Mu will let more Chinese players go abroad, in high-intensity, Hone yourself in a high-level league, instead of hanging out with a belly and taking a high salary in a domestic club.

The reason why the so-called first-line players in China in later generations can live in clubs with high salaries is entirely due to the protection of domestic players by the domestic football association. The number of foreign players per team in the Chinese Super League has long been limited to 4+1, that is, four non-Asian players. Foreign aid, and an Asian foreign aid, can only play 3+1 at most. That is to say, during a game, there can only be a maximum of four foreign aids in a football team with 11 players. Later, this number was changed to three.

The tightening of the number of foreign aid for the team has led to the fact that each team must compete for those local Chinese players with insufficient strength but extremely high salaries. These players are also living in the club with peace of mind because of the protection of the policy. In other words, it doesn’t matter if you can’t catch up with the foreign players in the team, as long as you don’t get chased too much by the local players of other teams, it’s totally fine, because when the team plays, there must be 8 local players present.

Although the Bundesliga, Serie A, and even La Liga also have restrictions on foreign aid, the key is that the local players are not overly reliant on foreign aid.

Take a look at the scorer list of each season of the Chinese Super League. Among the top 20, at least 16 or 7 are foreign players.

This has led to the local players who have been pampered in the club and have long been accustomed to relying on foreign aid to score goals and win.

Once local players cultivated in such an environment are called up by the national team, it is equivalent to a group of musicians who specialize in accompaniment getting together and preparing to participate in a band competition, but these musicians are usually instrumental accompaniment backgrounds, no one can Sing well.

So, when these twenty or so people got together, they found out that they came to participate in the band competition, but there was no one in the team who could sing.

How can such a team make great progress in the world? Not going backwards is thank goodness.

However, if we can bring out the truly talented players in the country and keep them away from the decadent environment of messing around and hone in a high-level league like the Premier League, it doesn't take much, even if three players can be hone, when they are When the national team is called up, it can also greatly improve the strength of the team.

Thinking of this, Li Mu asked Davidson, "By the way, there should be no foreign aid restrictions for Premier League clubs, right?"

"No." Davidson shook his head and said, "As long as you can get a labor certificate, it doesn't matter if the entire team is foreign aid."

"Labor certificate..." As soon as Li Mu heard this word, he immediately thought that there were indeed some domestic players who had the opportunity to be signed by Premier League teams, but they all ended up aborting because the labor certificate problem could not be solved.

So, Li Mu asked Davidson: "If I want to bring more Chinese players to the Premier League in the future, who should I turn to for the labor certificate issue?"

The British labor certificate is very troublesome, especially the Premier League labor certificate. It has very high requirements for the recruits. It not only requires the opponent to play more than 75% of the national team, but also requires the national team's FIFA ranking in the top 70 in the world. As a result, many Asian players have missed the Premier League.

And in my impression, this policy is gradually tightening and becoming more and more strict.

Davidson blurted out almost without hesitation: "The Premier League labor certificate also has an introduction channel that does not need to consider hard indicators. I can help you solve this, don't worry."

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble you about the labor certification of Huaxia players."

Davidson nodded and said: "If you have a Chinese player who is going to be introduced to Manchester City in the future, just tell me directly and I will communicate with the government, but this number can't be too much, otherwise, the media will keep staring at it and it is difficult to explain. ."

Li Mudao: "My goal is not high. Manchester City's first team and second team each have a Chinese player in the early stage. In the middle and late stages, we will find a solution according to the actual situation."

Davidson laughed: "If your goal is to bring Chinese players to the Premier League for exercise, then you can loan the players to other European leagues first, and then apply for a labor certificate through arbitration. I can also help you solve this, Believe me, I still have some strength in Europe, and loaning players to other European leagues is also a kind of exercise for players, after all, the European League is more professional than the China League."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Of course I believe this."

Davidson added: "By the way, do you know that Manchester City already has a Chinese player?"

"Really?" Li Mu was a little stunned and couldn't remember. He has no deep impression of the five major leagues before 2008, so he can't remember any Chinese player who played for Manchester City in the Premier League at this time.

Davidson picked up a thick folder from his hand, and after flipping it for a while, handed it to Li Mu and said, "Look, it's him, sunjihai."

Li Mu looked down and saw three familiar words on the paper, Sun Jihai.
