Chapter 85: Beggars Get Away
Just when Notts County was killing the Quartet, David quietly brought Soriano to Ghent, Belgium, to visit the Ghent club of the Bundesliga team.
The current Ghent is not the dark horse that broke into the Champions League knockout. In the club's more than 100 years of history, Ghent has not won the top league championship. In fact, it has something in common with Notts County. place.
However, David's visit this time is not to exchange unqualified experience with Ghent. His purpose is very clear, that is, to acquire a part of Ghent's shares, and then reach a series of all-round cooperation with Ghent.
This is him preparing for the future.
Originating from England’s damned labor certification system, non-EU players must be able to apply for a labor certification if they want to appear in England’s stadiums, and this extremely inhumane system in David’s view has prevented many talents from joining England football. The way of the team, it can be said that there are countless chapters of blood and tears history.
The land of South America will give birth to countless young football talents. Whenever David thinks of the famous football star from South America in the future, he has a feeling of wanting to wipe his saliva.
But the only thing standing in the way of getting these geniuses in the bag was England's labour certification, which really depressed David.
Is it true that you can count on a special genius frame?
Even if Notts County has become a strong team in the Premier League, it will not be easy to apply for one in a year. Don't pin your hopes on these uncontrollable methods.
David racked his brains and thought that the best way to overthrow the labor certification system was to start a satellite club in Bijia.
According to Belgian law, as long as you have lived in the country for three years, you can apply for Belgian citizenship. For South American players who need to obtain an EU passport, this is already the most formal shortcut.
David knew in his previous life that Royal Antwerp is actually a satellite club of Manchester United. Every season, players from Manchester United's youth academy are loaned to Antwerp to play. One is to play games and exercise, and more importantly, to obtain an EU passport, Antwerp has also obtained continuous Players support, kill with one stone.
That's the way David wants to go now.
If it is a little demon who signed early, then as long as they have been living in Notts County, they can obtain British citizenship. The law stipulates that this period is five years.
But if Notts County buys some semi-finished products, it is impossible to let the players waste five years, so the process of obtaining EU passports needs to be accelerated. In this way, loaning to the Belgian team is the best choice.
Moreover, Belgium will also have a lot of outstanding players in the future. The European Red Devils are not just screaming.
If he could take down these little demons earlier, he would be in line with David's status as a reborn person. In his opinion, collecting little demons is definitely more fulfilling than calling for wind and rain in the financial market.
Came with full of enthusiasm, but what greeted David and Soriano was the coldness of the Ghent club, which David never expected.
Not to mention the chairman of the board of directors of the club, even the general manager of the Ghent club, Michel Loyage, did not show up, only the commercial manager of Ghent came forward to receive the two Davids.
"Sorry, our club is in a good financial position even though it's a small club in the Bundesliga, and we don't feel like we need a full-scale partnership with a League Two club. With all due respect, I really don't see anything like this for Gent. Help." The other side's business manager had an expression of indescribable arrogance, as if it was a hospitality from Ghent for him to come to receive the chairman of a League Two club.
The implication is obvious, what qualifications do you have for an obscure low-level team like Notts County to discuss cooperation!
Also cooperate! Don't you just want to take advantage of it!
Beggars, get away from me!
David and Soriano frowned,
I am very displeased with Ghent's attitude.
What are you arrogant about? Even if it is better than the League One, it is not necessarily better than the League One, not to mention that Ghent is just a very small club, and the number of fans is not as many as Notts County. , In terms of financial resources, it even dumped you into the Pacific Ocean. What are you pretending to be in front of me?
David stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Soriano beside him.
"I think it's good for both of us to reach a deep cooperation, and Notts County will soon be upgraded to League One. We have a lot of influence in English football. Are your eyes really so short-sighted? ?" Soriano frowned, he was still trying to convince the other party.
However, David and Soriano could also see that this business manager was just something Ghent used to perfunctory them. Obviously, Notts County did not gain the eyes of others.
"I'm so sorry. Our board of directors had already made a decision when Notts County sent the fax."
David and Soriano left in anger.
When he walked out of the door of the other party's club, David turned his head to look at this historic building, but he didn't have a hint of goodwill, but boundless anger.
Notts County has been underestimated again!
Being looked down upon by some of the great teams that boasted a long history in England was destined to be experienced before Notts County's rise, but being treated the same in Belgium made David even more unbearable.
Gritting his teeth, David felt ruthless.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, but I don't want to wait ten years.
Now that I'm here, don't even think about your first league title in Ghent, and don't dream about the appearance of the Champions League group.
David has already made up his mind. After taking a stake in another professional club in Bijia, on the basis of comprehensive cooperation, the most important thing David can give the team is to suppress Ghent in all directions and let this arrogant club serve them well. Contempt and vision pay the price, the most painful price.
Two days later, when David and Soriano left Belgium, they also brought with them the equity transfer agreement of the Beverly League club Beveren, as well as the comprehensive cooperation framework agreement between Notts County and Beveren.
David took out 12 million pounds of real money to buy 49% of the shares of Beveren Club. Compared with Ghent, which has a large number of shareholders, Beveren, whose shares belong to the owner, is more suitable for acquisition operations.
The reason why David only bought 49% of the shares of Beverun is not in line with David's usual style of doing things, but this is also a helpless move.
UEFA stipulates that different clubs under the same owner cannot participate in the same competition, that is to say, if David fully controls Beveren, then if Notts County and Beveren enter the UEFA Cup at the same time in the future, or It would be a tragedy to enter the Champions League at the same time, and only one club could withdraw.
Therefore, in order to avoid such a tragedy, David decided that Beverun should still be controlled by the original chairman, and it is enough to have a certain right to speak.
