Green Life

In the beginning of 2007, Liverpool did not have much movement. Liverpool's summer tonic has already appeared bloated, and it is impossible to make big moves in winter. This season, it is reasonable to say that Liverpool played well. The League Champions League went hand in hand, but still lacks dominance. Many things are in Benite. Si seems to have achieved the ultimate, but the gap in player ability may mean one point or three points, the league is not better than the cup, there is not so much luck, it is more long-term stability.

The stubborn illness is still on the two wingers and forwards. Riise’s ability is more suitable for later insertion rather than breakthrough. Pennant on the right will hit the bottom if he is too dead. You are not Beckham... …, Bellamy and Kuyt sometimes play right wingers, and the effect is average. Crazy and Cisse are still the same. The only reliable player is Gerrard.

　　 Benitez has a headache. He can't admit that he has failed in seeing people, or is the tactics not suitable for the players? That is something that simply cannot exist in his mind.

He also wants Ruben, Henry, and Cristiano Ronaldo. Unfortunately, in terms of his vision, he is indeed a grade. The players introduced have mixed reputations, including Alonso who has become the core, and there are more that he can't play. Benchman.

　　 The overall quality of a famous marshal is extremely demanding. If you can't see it, you can't bring long-term stability, progress, or even breakthroughs. But not everyone has the fate of Mourinho and Guardiola. Going to any club will spend a lot of money, only buying famous ones, not semi-finished products, you must know that it is Manchester United Ferguson who is the most profitable every year. Most of the time, I buy semi-finished products for training.

Benitez has a growing desire to spend money. You must be cautious about semi-finished products, otherwise it will destroy everything you have worked so hard and cause conflicts in the dressing room. So in December last year, Dubai International contacted him privately. It hits it off, what Benitez needs are the bosses who don’t need money, not the little shrimp who are slowly operating. The revival of a club is fundamentally an economic revival. With money, sooner or later, it will produce results and gain fans. , Become a giant, such as Chelsea.

Since Dubai International and Liverpool’s board of directors started contacting in December last year, it was a golden wind and jade demon meeting. Dubai International Capital proposed to buy the Liverpool club for 155 million pounds and paid 80 million pounds to repay the club’s debts. In addition, they promised to spend 200 million pounds to build a stadium that can accommodate 60,000 people in the 2009 season. At the same time, they also promised to give Liverpool club more transfer funds. This offer obviously moved David Moores, the largest shareholder. With the support of Benitez, the negotiation went smoothly, and the conclusion will be reached only when the board of directors passes it.

But the paper cannot contain the fire. The news that Liverpool will be sold caused an uproar. For a time, the media swarmed and blocked the waters of Melwood. There were even more diehard Liverpool fans who gathered at the club’s door to protest. The fans are simple, they feel that capital is to make money, they will not really love the Liverpool club and will ruin Liverpool.

　　 "Refused to sell the club!",

　　 "Middle Eastern Pig, go back!",

　　 "Liverpool is the Liverpool people's Liverpool!",

　　 Melwood was crowded at the gate today, and it was difficult to move. The fans pulled the banners to block the water at the gate, and even normal training was affected. The players are also a bit at a loss. Is the club going to be sold?

　　 Behind the glass window of the conference room, David Moores, General Manager Parry, Benitez, Commercial Director Al and board members gathered at the conference table, all frowning and looking out the window. David Moores took a irritated cigarette, and said angrily, "Who leaked the news?"

　　 Al put down his glasses and said: "It doesn't matter who leaked it out. This kind of thing can't be concealed by the media in the end. The top priority is how to reduce the impact as soon as possible to avoid the excessive behavior of fans from affecting the transaction.

　　 Parry also said: “It’s best to contact the person in charge of the fans’ loyal group and explain to the fans the whole story of the deal. England’s fans have always been xenophobic. If you want to proceed smoothly, you need to work hard to eliminate the uncooperative attitude of the fans.”

　　 David Moores frowned and thought about it, and said to the other members of the board: "What do you think? Do you have any objections to Dubai International's plan?"

Among them, a minority shareholder representative took a seat and said: “Dubai International’s offer is indeed very sincere, but Liverpool has gradually recovered under the leadership of Benitez and has regained the attention of top sponsors. We I just re-negotiated cooperation with Adi, I think Liverpool’s development trend should get a better premium."

The remaining shareholder representatives also nodded their heads in recognition. To put it bluntly, Liverpool is worth more and wants to cash out more. Dubai’s main funds are mainly used to pay off loans and build new stadiums. Cash cash is not much, and the actual valuation of the club is also Only 230 million, including present value and debt.

David Moores squinted his eyes. Everything today seems to have someone behind the scenes, creating obstacles to the deal. David Moores has been in charge of Liverpool for many years and has a deep affection for Liverpool. Although he is currently lacking in ability and energy, But he wants to put Liverpool in the hands of a reassuring capital. He also wants Liverpool to achieve a revival like Chelsea, but he does not have an absolute advantage on the board of directors. The minds of these small shareholders...

　　 thinking about turning his head and asking Benitez: "Rafa, what's the situation with the players?"

Benitez raised his head and replied: "Parry and I have communicated with the team captains yesterday and explained the situation to them in general, and they will comfort the other players." The table continued: "However, the team's situation in the league and the Champions League this year is very good. The second half is especially critical for us. It is best to resolve this matter as soon as possible without affecting the team's results."

Benitez is also a little helpless. He has led the team to win several championships in the past two years, especially the Champions League, which has increased the potential value of Liverpool. Now these small shareholders have obviously more appetites. I don’t know if he moved it by himself. Rocked himself in the foot.

At this time, a minority shareholder representative came out and said: "Now that the matter has been exposed, I suggest that we wait and see. Maybe there are other potential buyers. There are alternatives. I believe Dubai International will not be so tough. We can get back the initiative..."

David Moores raised his head and glanced, then drooped his eyebrows, tapped his index finger on the desk, and said softly: "Now, let's solve the immediate matter first, Parry, you can contact the media and fan organizations you know as soon as possible to comfort Fans, let the media provide good guidance; Al, step up communication with Dubai International; Rafa, the team’s affairs are left to you, and the impact will be minimized as soon as possible."

　　 David Moores was sensitively aware that there must be something tricky, he had to wait and see, wait for these ghosts to take the initiative to jump out, and then make a decision.

　　 As soon as Parry walked out the door, he was submerged in the ocean of microphones.

　　 "Parry, I’m from Sky Sports. Is the club operating an acquisition?"

　　 "Palipari, this is Echo, who is the potential buyer?"

　　 "I’m from The Sun. I heard that the buyer is a rich man in the Middle East. Can I confirm the message?"

It took a lot of energy for Mark Qin to squeeze out from the door. He looked at the media and excited fans like mosquitoes in blood. He thought that the two Yankees might have started. He knew Dubai International from his memory. I started contacting Liverpool at the end of last year. I had been very strict before. There was no news in the media. At this time, it suddenly exposed. It is not good for Dubai Capital and Liverpool. It must be people who want to join together and want to take water. Confused, it's so bad to fish in troubled waters, it seems that I have to go to see how the harvest is.

Let's turn our eyes back to three months ago, in a desolate private detective office. John lived in his small desk, sloppy and full of the smell of bad coffee. He was worried that there would be no more business. The door was about to close, and suddenly I received a call. The other side of the phone was turned into an electronic tone with a broken voice changer. John was not surprised. There are all kinds of customers, except for the other party's words which are a bit direct.

　　 "Listen, John, now you have a big business coming to your door, as long as you are willing to do it", an electronic voice came from the phone

　　 "Let's say, there is no John who is afraid to do it, as long as he can afford it," John said in a smoky voice.

　　 "You go to the United States to investigate two people, and I will send your specific request to your mailbox. After doing it, you will get 10,000 pounds, and the travel expenses can be reimbursed."

　　Big business, John suddenly got excited, and said flatly: "No problem, noble customer, absolutely satisfying you, you see..."

The voice on the phone interrupted him and continued: "I will send £2,000 to your account first, and the rest will be paid in batches based on the authenticity and detail of the information you provide. You send it to the mailbox xxx, and I will Pay you a payment according to the proportion of the information you provide each time, do it or not!"

　　 "Deep toot..."

　　 John looked at the phone a little bit of a bludgeon, isn't it a prank? , Suddenly the phone rang, he opened it and found that 2,000 pounds had arrived. He hurriedly turned on the computer, logged into his public mailbox, and immediately saw a new email...

In London, there are all three detectives who received such calls at the same time. Maqin is going to use his salary and all his savings from the last European Cup gambling to do this, because no one can tell, Maqin can only rely on This method of casting a wide net to solve the problem, although the cost of money is certainly not cheap, but as long as it succeeds, sooner or later he can earn it back in Liverpool.

When Maqin came home, he quickly went into his room and turned on the computer~www.readwn.com~ Looking at some new emails in his mailbox, he opened it and read it. While reading it, he leaked a trace of ridicule, "Hey, it's fast. I'm bankrupt, and I want to empty the white wolf. The method is clever~", along with the previous emails, I went to Peter's study and printed a few copies of the materials and bound them.

　　 picked up the information in his hand, Maqin smiled and said: "It cost me more than 20,000 pounds, I hope you can help!"

At the same time, shortly after David Moores got home in the evening, the babysitter came over and said to him: "Sir, there is an American who calls himself George Gillette outside who wants to visit you. He asked me to convey that he is your old friend. , Can solve the problem in front of you"...

Far away in a luxury hotel in London, Tom Hicks toasted and proposed: "Everyone, I believe that our cooperation can be a win-win situation. We are an investment group with excellent experience and strength, and we will certainly be able to meet your demands to the greatest extent"... …

　　 "Liverpool acquisition ushered in variables! The owner of the American hockey team spends 500 million! 》--The Sun

　　 "Liverpool's largest shareholder and Gillette reached a tacit agreement in private"-Sky Sports

　　……

If you don’t come, it’s a combination boxing. Gillett and Hicks are so proficient in this acquisition. Their price is 70 million pounds more than that of Dubai International. But these shareholders are not tempted. This is popular. Greed.

　　 "Sorry, I think the board needs time to consider the offer from U.S. Capital, we have to postpone the negotiation," Al said to the phone.

　　 "Shit", the head of Dubai International dropped the phone.

　　 When the two Yankees were proud of the spring breeze and thought they were in their hands, they did not know that a small report from a small child might make them fall short...
