Talk about the location, a long time nonsense.

Wu Pang looked at Zhou Jiexi lightly and said, "The shares I hold, and after the agreement is reached and approved by the Premier League Management Committee, my shares will exceed 31%."

Falk, of course it is.

"You should know Jesse, I don't want to be kicked out of Arsenal."

Seeing his calm look, Zhou Jiexi still asked, "What do you think?"

"What do you think of the agreement we started?" Usmalov said, looking at him.

"You want to increase your holdings?" Zhou Jiexi asked.

"certainly."

Zhou Jiexi rolled his eyes, "How about I exchange Facebook shares with you for Arsenal shareholders. What do you think?"

Usmarov shook his head and said, "No Jesse, although I have been hoping to increase my stake in Facebook recently, I don't want to give up Arsenal either."

"In addition, I have found a way to increase my shareholding in Facebook. I believe the board of directors will agree." He seemed to think of something as he spoke. "By the way, you have resigned from the board of directors. It is really a pity."

Zhou Jiexi rolled his eyes, "It's okay to reach an agreement, but I have a special request. I want to join the board of directors again in the future. You can't stop me, what do you think?"

"Jessie, Facebook's shares are not so easy to get now, do you think you can buy them back after you sell them?" said the fat man.

"This is my business, you just need to agree or disagree!" Zhou Jiexi also said simply.

"Of course there is no problem." The old fat man quickly agreed, and he still knew the benefits of Zhou Jiexi joining the board of directors. As the executive creative director of Facebook, although he is rarely in the company, he is very precise in creative review.

In this way, the two people began to discuss the following conditions under the almost agreed conditions. The sports special purpose company established by Zhou Jiexi transferred the shares to the European sports investment company established by him.

The sports special purpose company was originally used as a transfer.

The next step is to reach an agreement with Wu Fatty's Hongbai Company. Zhou Jiexi transferred 9% of the shares to Hongbai Company at a premium, that is to say, the Russians will hold 40% of the shares. He holds 55% of the shares in his hand, and the two of them are not going to buy the shares held by other small shareholders, because they are unnecessary and valuable.

Those speculative shareholders who planned to be fishermen and pay a high price for them obviously didn't catch the good time. And they will also face the danger of dilution. Together with Usmalov, Zhou Jiexi will continue to inject capital into Arsenal to end the financial pressure due to the stadium loan and the renovation of the old stadium as soon as possible.

The other two people agreed that they want stars, big names, and champions. It is understandable that the Premier League and the Champions League cannot be won in the first year, but there must be a few other trophies.

The next day, the Premier League committee approved Zhou Jiexi and Usmarov's request for the acquisition of the Premier League team Arsenal. The official release of the news, Arsenal changed the boss, and the Russians and the Yankees came to power.

Jessie Zhou also posted the news on his Tom Cat and Facebook. "It's a fantastic feeling to have a team like Arsenal."

As soon as the news came out, there was a ripple in the air. A big event happened at Arsenal. Most people who pay attention to football and the Premier League have thought of this matter.

Then the Premier League Committee announced that it had approved the acquisition of Arsenal by Jesse Zhou and Usmalov. This time it was even more lively.

The media have been asking what is the current situation, who will Arsenal listen to in the future? Where is the American Kroenke?

But these are not problems. Usmalov's Red and White Investment Company and Zhou Jiexi's European Sports Investment Company held a press conference together.

Neither of the two bigwigs showed up at the press conference. The spokespersons of the two companies, as well as the spokesperson of the Arsenal club and the current chairman of the team went to the press conference.

"Arsenal Club will reorganize the board of directors. The board of directors will be dominated by Mr. Jesse Zhou and Mr. Usmalov. The current board members include team chairman Hill Wood, team CEO Jia Cidi, and team members. Deputy Chairman Sir Zipps-Kerswick and Lord Peckham-Harris, Ms Smith."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the spokesperson of the Arsenal club, "The current chairman of the team is still Mr. Hill Wood, and Mrs. Smith will serve as the honorary vice chairman of the team..."

There are a lot of things about Barabara, and the reporters understand the key points. The Yankee Kroenke left, and Zhou Jiexi and Usmarov took advantage of the momentum to take over Arsenal. Now that the two are united, Arsenal is what they say.

The transfer window for this summer has been closed, but Usmarov and Jessie Zhou still decided to make Arsenal's account look good first. By the way, let the fans see the determination and wallet of the two.

Usmalov took 9% of the shares from Zhou Jiexi, which is about 120 million U.S. dollars, and Zhou Jiexi directly asked him to round up a round number. He put this sum of money directly into the club's account, and Usmarov also put in about 100 million U.S. dollars according to his proportion.

The two of them pooled together a total of 140 million pounds, planning to enter this year's winter return window, looking for big-name players, superstars, and fans who are not short of money.

The local tyrants in the Middle East only spend more than 100 million pounds a season, which is already a high investment. It is not a few years later, when the Galaxy Battleship will be reopened, the money will be spent.

And this money doesn't mean that if it is spent, it will be gone. It can still be used to sell some people. If the players bought in the future do not depreciate, the investment of this money is still real.

The reorganization of Arsenal's board of directors is definitely good news for the team. For Wenger, it can be regarded as mixed news!

The good news is that if you have money to spend in the future, at least you don't have to sell players casually to make ends meet and pay off debts. The bad news is that the board's meddling could get bigger. Arsenal have also become required to buy big-name players to satisfy the flamboyant personalities of the directors.

Let’s not talk about the Russian guy Usmalov. From the beginning until now, he has always said that he needs to spend money to buy players and stars. The other Jesse Zhou has even more traces to follow. He wants to buy big names and win championships.

Just look at the Golden State Warriors, the American professional basketball team he now owns. The favourites, who are in the limelight this year, have brought in a few giant players, and they will be waiting to pay the luxury tax next year.

Among the directors of Arsenal, he is also notoriously fond of speaking out, breaking news on the Internet every day, what will happen if he takes over.

Now that it's really here, Wenger has a headache. In order to understand the new boss, he specially asked his assistant to collect Jesse Zhou's speech.
