Seven Hundred and Eightieth Chapters Trench Inhumanity

Anyone who can achieve success should not be underestimated, even Mansur's success is inseparable from his background identity.

In fact, from the difference in status between Mansour and Saleh, it can also be seen that Mansour's ability must be higher than that of Saleh, otherwise it will not be the one who is in charge of the consortium for the chiefs of Abu Dhabi. Mansour is gone.

Ronan has dealt with Mansour many times. The deepest influence left by this man is not the arrogance of the Arabs, but a temperament that is not arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat.

This man is extremely resilient.

If you think about it, the Western society’s attitude towards the Arab world should not be too obvious. Mansour, as Abu Dhabi’s spokesperson in the Western world, would be defeated easily, and there would not be so many successful investments by the Abu Dhabi consortium.

In recent years, even in the United States, the Abu Dhabi consortium has made a difference, winning two teams from the four major professional sports leagues.

Perhaps, this is not a big deal for a billionaire consortium, but adding an Arab to the prefix is ​​commendable.

Although Ronan gave up the cooperation with the Abu Dhabi Consortium due to the general social situation and the other party's ambition, but if possible, he did not want to become an enemy with the Abu Dhabi Consortium.

"Mr. Minister." Ronan maintained the polite smile that his master must have: "Just say what you have to say."

Mansour has been in the Western world for many years, and he seems to have learned to express it more directly: "Mr. Anderson, I still have a strong interest in Manchester United. To be precise, since last night, I have become more interested in Manchester United."

Ronan roughly guessed what he was going to say.

Sure enough, Mansur said: "For you and me, the Manchester United Club is a business, an investment. Now, your investment has won a big victory. Mr. Anderson, the Abu Dhabi consortium is willing to pay 1 billion pounds from You buy the Manchester United club."

This price is quite attractive. Ronan used financing to acquire the Manchester United club, and the total cost was just over 600 million U.S. dollars. This transfer is nearly 40% return on investment.

Seeing that Ronan did not speak, Mansour continued to increase the weight: "All the debts of Manchester United will be borne by the Abu Dhabi consortium after the acquisition is completed."

Ronan looked at Mansour, and he was indeed a rich and dirty Arab, who seemed so inhumane.

In Mansur's words,

The Abu Dhabi consortium is responsible for repaying all the debts transferred to Manchester United after Ronan acquired Manchester United. Except for a small part of personal investment, if this deal can be achieved, Ronan's various things on Manchester United will become nothing. A model of glove white wolf!

In a year, the profit of seven or eight billion US dollars, such as selling arms, is not so profitable.

Mansour knows very well that when money accumulates to a certain level, it is not just a numbers game, but can also manipulate people's hearts.

Manchester United, especially the current Manchester United team with a reasonable structure and full of vigor and vitality, he really wants it very much and is willing to pay a certain price for it.

Ronan stabilized his mind and said with a smile: "Mr. Minister, I can feel your sincerity, please allow me to think about it."

In the final analysis, Ronan is not beyond the scope of normal people, and he is a businessman. Due to the nature of a businessman, it is impossible not to be tempted by such a high investment profit.

Mansour shook hands with Ronan: "I hope Mr. Anderson can think about it seriously. My words will remain valid until the start of next season."

Ronan shrugged slightly: "I also need to discuss with other shareholders."

After the two exchanged a few words, Mansur said goodbye and left. Saleh glanced at Ronan, and finally followed Mansur without saying anything.

"There are many teams in the Premier League," Salih whispered. "We don't have to be Manchester United."

Mansour glanced at the younger brother who had a good relationship, and said patiently: "Why do we buy a football team, Saleh, have you thought about it?"

Saleh said: "It's not about making money, is it?"

Mansour shook his head slightly: "Football is the largest sport in the world, and the Premier League is the league with the best commercial operation and spread. We need a window, a window that allows the whole world to know and understand Abu Dhabi, so I Has been planning to buy the Premier League team."

With rare patience, he said to Saleh: "This determines that we must acquire a super team with sufficient influence. Although this will cost more money, it will also have the fastest results. If we acquire a A small and medium-sized team, we need to build it into a well-known team, how much time will be spent, how many players need to be purchased, and well-known coaches need to be invited..."

Saleh nodded slowly, and understood what his brother was thinking.

Mansour looks at the problem far more thoroughly than ordinary people: "In that case, the money we spend will not be smaller than buying Manchester United from Ronan Anderson, and it may even be higher. In addition, there is a time cost, which cannot be measured by money. of!"

"I see," Saleh said.

Mansour patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Looking at the entire Premier League, only Manchester United and Arsenal can meet our requirements, but Manchester United is better. I am also under pressure and need to spend a lot of money, and I can do it as soon as possible." See the effect, otherwise how to explain to Abu Dhabi?"

After all, he is only the chief operating officer of the Abu Dhabi consortium, not the real owner.

Saleh said: "It is very difficult to acquire Manchester United. Ronan Anderson is too complicated."

Mansur shook his head slightly: "It's true that he has a complicated mind, but from another perspective, Ronan Anderson's mind is also very simple. He is a businessman after all. Football is just a commercial speculation. As long as the profit is high enough..."

He suddenly laughed: "As long as Manchester United can be won, it is worth spending more than 1 billion pounds."

The Abu Dhabi consortium lacks everything except money.

Problems that can be solved with money have never been a problem in Mansour's eyes.

During the reception, Ronan was considering the pros and cons of Mansour's proposal while coping with communication.

From an investment point of view, this is really a very good deal.

To be honest, Ronan also needs funds at this stage to realize more plans.

But selling Manchester United at this point is a bit unwilling.

Faced with this choice, most people might choose to sell directly, but Ronan's net worth also gave him the confidence to refuse. After all, this year he may become a man with a literal net worth of tens of billions.

After the reception, Ronan found Will Smith and Tom Cruise, and had a brief communication with them.

The two were also a little excited after hearing this.

After all, how could one not be tempted by such a high investment profit.

But after all, they are not ordinary people, and they belong to the top class in Hollywood with a net worth of over 100 million.

After listening to Ronan's brief introduction of the relevant situation, Will Smith gradually calmed down and said: "I will listen to you in terms of investment. Ronan, if you want to sell, I support you and want to continue to be the owner of Manchester United. I would too, football is actually quite interesting.”

Tom Cruise said: "From an investment point of view, it is indeed very cost-effective to sell, but we are not short of money at present. With the development momentum of Manchester United, it may be more valuable in the future."

Ronan nodded slightly, and said, "Well, let's not reply to Mansur in a hurry. We will think about it for a while, and we will talk about it in July."

He emphatically urged: "The news is limited to the three of us, and it should not affect the normal transfer of the club."

"Understood." Will Smith said, "Don't worry."

Tom Cruise worried: "What about Mansour? In case he takes the initiative to speak to the media..."

Ronan said directly: "Then we will reject him publicly, presumably he will not make such an unwise choice."

Regardless of Ronan, Will Smith and Tom Cruise, they all need time to calm down the impulse caused by huge financial interests, and consider this issue with a more peaceful attitude.

For a transaction involving billions of pounds, Ronan couldn't help but be careless, and there would be no harm in thinking about it for a while.

This news has not been spread out, so it will naturally not affect the normal operation of Manchester United. Manchester United ended the journey of a season from 2004 to 2005 with the outstanding performance of the Premier League champion and the Champions League champion.

Subsequently, Ronan signed new sponsorship contracts with multiple sponsors on behalf of Manchester United. These sponsorship contracts alone can bring Manchester United more than 100 million pounds in revenue every year.

Ronan does not need to invest any money in Manchester United. Manchester United's own hematopoietic ability can not only meet the needs of signings, but also repay debts.

In the first week after the end of the Champions League, Manchester United reached an agreement with Real Madrid, Ruud van Nistelrooy transferred to Real Madrid for 35 million euros.

This money will be used by Manchester United to run the work of poaching Barcelona's corner.

The professional football circle is becoming more and more commercialized. As long as the hoe of money is wielded well, it is difficult to have a wall that will not be dug down.

Thinking back a few years ago, Luis Figo, who was the captain and banner of Barcelona, ​​how did he get to the arch-enemy Real Madrid?

In the future, clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool without any direct player transfers will become increasingly rare.

At the end of Manchester United's season, Ronan, Will Smith and Tom Cruise also left London and returned to Los Angeles after convening two meetings with the club's top management.

The summer season of the North American film market is in full swing, and a series of big-budget films are released one after another.

Among them, there are many successful works such as "Bourne Bourne 3" and "Revenge of the Sith", as well as commercial failures such as "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Escape from Clone Island".

The directors of these two failed works had relatively strong capital as support in the past, so they were not very sad.

A producer of Twentieth Century Fox became the blame man for "Kingdom of Heaven", but Ridley Scott was not affected much and continued to prepare new works.

DreamWorks suspended its cooperation with Michael Bay, but Sandsea Entertainment has contacted Michael Bay.
