Chapter 906 Murdoch Is Here
Chelsea easily defeated Notts County, which was played by the youth team, at Stamford Bridge and advanced to the next round of the FA Cup, but whether it was a loss or a gain, even Klinsmann himself didn't know.
The media and fans did not expect Notts County to give up the FA Cup so simply. They thought Notts County would have a battle with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge!
But that's good too, it's always the same routine, everyone is tired of aesthetics, so everyone can still feel a little fresh.
Notts County's surprise made Chelsea passive. The Blues played one more game than Notts County in the dense schedule. Even if the consumption was less, it was real. Notts County took a step back , but dug a hole for Chelsea.
Knowing that it was a trap, Klinsmann had to bite the bullet and jump down. There was no way, Chelsea didn't want to lose to Notts County, and this was the most fundamental reason.

Just when David was going to fly to Australia to accompany Kerr after the FA Cup match, an uninvited guest came to Notts County. If it was an ordinary person, David would not pay attention to it at all, but David had to pay attention to this uninvited guest. Because he is the world media tycoon Rupert Murdoch.
David didn't know Murdoch's reason for coming, nor did he think that he would come to Notts County to visit and hope to have a meeting with him, but David vaguely knew his real purpose.
Manchester United was acquired by the Glazer family, but a few seasons ago, there was another pioneer who planned to acquire Manchester United, but unfortunately it was rejected. It was precisely because his acquisition opened a hole that Glazer's acquisition was so great smoothly.
The first person to eat a crab may not be successful. Murdoch was caught by the crab's pliers, but he left the experience to Glazer, and then Glazer ate it so that the corners of his mouth became oily.
Perhaps Murdoch is not a person who likes football, but owning Manchester United can have a far-reaching impact on his industry. Why doesn't he buy it?
After the British government rejected the acquisition proposal, Murdoch has not reached out to the football field, but it does not mean that he will be willing to remain silent.
David felt that Murdoch was not a good person this time, he must have come for Notts County!
I saw this world-renowned rich man in his office, but the so-called aura and aura are just the feeling of the supervisor. The old man in front of him is more like an ordinary old man, calm and kind, but David knows that if you underestimate him because of this With him, I'm afraid he will swallow up all the dross.
"Mr. Murdoch, welcome to Notts County!" David first extended his hand to Murdoch.
No matter what purpose Murdoch came with, at least he was an old man, and David couldn't be too rude.
Of course, when shaking hands, David still stared at his face with great interest and carefully studied it. As for what David was thinking, no one knew.
In fact, David wonders why Murdoch's Chinese daughter-in-law didn't come with him...
"The Notts County Club gave me a great shock, and this shock even surpassed my impression of Manchester United at that time. You are really an excellent club chairman!" Murdoch praised David slightly. road.
In fact, David is not necessarily inferior to Murdoch if we simply compare his worth and wealth. The return on investment of David’s investment team in the US capital market is simply amazing. David is not the richest man in the world, but his The growth rate of wealth is absolutely the highest in the world.
At Murdoch's level, he naturally knows how much David is worth. He doesn't regard David as an ordinary club chairman, but a business tycoon with the same status as himself. It's just that Murdoch invests in media entities. And David speculated in the capital market.
The excessive pleasantries were actually just for outsiders to see. When there was no one else in the office, David and Murdoch smiled at each other and sat on the sofa.
"Seeing Notts County's outstanding performance in world football, I regret not insisting on buying Manchester United at that time.
Look at how Manchester United has been made by the Glazer family now. You must know that the Glazer family is not even a third-rate small family in the United States! "Murdoch still seemed a little upset when he mentioned the past.
David shrugged and said nothing. Glazer is definitely not a good thing, but if Manchester United really falls into the hands of Murdoch, there may not be any good results. For a person who doesn't like football, how much can he pay? It's hard to say.
"Football is the number one sport in the world and has unparalleled influence all over the world, and the Premier League is the most popular league. Having a Premier League giant will be of great help to the layout of any industry!" Murdoch It seemed to be talking to himself, so that David didn't know how to interface, and he didn't want to make excuses.
"Actually, this time, I want to talk to you about the Notts County Club. I want to fully acquire the Notts County Club. For this, I am willing to pay 3 billion U.S. dollars!" Murdoch saw David's Impatient, he opened the mouth tentatively.
Sure enough, the comer was not good, David did not predict wrongly!
But how could David sell Notts County?
Obviously, Murdoch had the wrong idea!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Murdoch, I don't plan to sell the club. I've let you down. Since you think the Premier League is the most popular league in the world, you can buy another club and turn it into a European giant. It can also help you complete the industrial layout, and start from scratch, wouldn't it be more fulfilling?" David refused, and in order to dispel Murdoch's thoughts, he also gave Murdoch a suggestion, although this suggestion did not not so good.
Murdoch frowned and didn't speak right away.
Judging from the mergers and acquisitions that Murdoch has handled before, it is his habit to quickly complete the industrial layout. It seems a waste of time to develop from scratch, and he cannot afford to waste it. The key problem is that he does not like football that much. , so it is impossible for David's proposal to impress him at all.
"The current valuation of Notts County is around US$3 billion, but we all know that this valuation does not actually represent the real value of Notts County, so I can buy Notts County at this price, which is already considered It’s a big deal, I don’t think there are many people who can spend this money except me!” Murdoch still hoped to persuade David to achieve his goal.
"Mr. Murdoch, you should be very clear. I am not short of money. In my eyes, 3 billion is actually not essentially different from a coin. I am different from you. You are at the helm of your media empire. It is you My career is Notts County, do you understand what I mean?" David still rejected Murdoch coldly.
