Chapter 1083 The King of Telecommunications!
Chelsea happened to have no game today and the team was training at Stamford Bridge.
However, even if there is a competition, it will not be able to achieve good results.
When Xia Yu and Elton Collin arrived at Chelsea Football Club, Elton Collin ordered someone to inform the team's head coach, John Neal.
After receiving the notice, John Neil, who was instructing the players to train, immediately ordered the players to train freely, and then hurriedly returned to the club's office building.
When he saw Xia Yu standing beside Elton Colin, John Neil was greatly surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it, and quickly walked towards Xia Yu and Elton Colin.
"Hello, Mr. Elton Collin!"
"Hello, sir, I'm John Neal, the manager of the Chelsea first team."
"Coach Neil, nice to meet you!"
Xia Yu said with a smile, and took the initiative to extend his hand to John Neil while speaking.
John Neil immediately shook hands with Xia Yu and said hello.
At this time, Elton Collin introduced Xia Yu to John Neil: "Coach Neil, this is the director of our Bright Fund Company, Mr. Xia Yu, the acquisition of Chelsea is his order, and from today, he will President of Chelsea Football Club!"
What Elton Colin said was exactly what Xia Yu explained to him when he came.
His external identity is the director of the Bright Fund, not the chairman or boss.
The reason why he suddenly decided to serve as the chairman of Chelsea Football Club also has many considerations. In short, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
Knowing that Xia Yu's real identity is the club chairman, John Neil was more respectful and greeted Xia Yu again.
"Is Coach Neil, the players and the management team here?"
"Yes, all training at Stamford Bridge."
"Call them all over, and I'll meet them."
"Is there a meeting room here?"
"Yes, I'll take you there."
...
Although the players and management team were surprised by Xia Yu's age and skin color, they were all very interesting, after all, Xia Yu was their club president.
Although most of the players in the team, including the head coach team, will be replaced, Xia Yu did not tell them, but just let them go as usual for the time being. He is now mainly solving the legacy problems of Chelsea Football Club.
No way, now that Chelsea has fallen into the relegation zone, and if the turmoil continues, the results will become worse. Even if Alex Ferguson is brought in later, it may not be able to fill the hole.
It's still about stability.
After stabilizing the military's heart, Xia Yu informed everyone that a press conference would be held in the afternoon and asked John Neil to set up a large enough venue.
After that, Xia Yu returned to the company.
Elton Collin rushed to the Mirror Group. According to Xia Yu's order, there should be no trouble at the press conference in the afternoon, and the public opinion in the next few days must be controlled.
Not long after Xia Yu sat down, George Berkeley came to report to him again.
It turned out to be a matter of equity transfer of the Hong Kong Branch of Dadong Telecom Company.
The parent company, Dadong Telecom Co., Ltd. transferred 35.7% of the 45.7% of the equity it held at a price of 132 million Hong Kong dollars, and retained it by itself. 10%, as the link of business cooperation.
Xia Yu's Jiuding Industrial Group in Xiangjiang will hold 67% of the equity of Dadong Telecom's Xiangjiang Branch, and has an absolute controlling stake.
As a result, Xia Yu, the only two communication companies in Xiangjiang, has completed absolute control in the actual sense.
As long as the Hong Kong government does not issue additional telecommunications operating licenses, he will be the king of Hong Kong Telecom!
...
In the blink of an eye, it was Xia Yu's four o'clock.
The lobby of Chelsea Football Club, where a makeshift press conference is set.
As Xia Yu came out from behind the scenes and strode up to the speaking seat, the scene began to become restless, and the flashing lights kept on lighting up.
"Hello everyone, I am the manager of the Bright Fund in charge of the acquisition of Chelsea Football Club.
Elton Collin, welcome everyone to this conference. "
"First of all, I would like to introduce the person beside me, the director of our company, Mr. Xia Yuxia, who was knighted by Her Majesty the Queen some time ago. From today, he will be the chairman of Chelsea Football Club."
As soon as Elton Colin finished speaking, Xia Yu's gentle voice spread throughout the audience through the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, everyone, I'm Xia Yu."
"Welcome to Chelsea FC's press conference!"
"Clap clap clap..."
Elton Collin and John Neal took the lead in applauding, and the reporters in the audience followed suit.
"Dear Sir Xia, why did you choose to buy Chelsea Football Club?"
Seeing that a reporter couldn't wait to stand up to ask questions, Xia Yu smiled and said: "Because Chelsea has a good tradition, its potential is unlimited, although the performance is unstable now, but that's just because I haven't come yet."
The domineering words in a slow and unhurried tone made the eyes of the reporters lit up, and the assistant in charge of recording quickly recorded them.
"Next person!"
"Dear Sir Xia, can you tell us the details of the acquisition?"
"certainly."
"Our company bought Chelsea Football Club for £1, taking on the company's corresponding debt. In addition to this we bought Stamford Bridge Assets for £2.2 million..."
...
"Dear Sir Xia, what is your next plan for Chelsea Football Club?"
"We will repay all the debts of the club and the Stamford Bridge Asset Company in advance to remove the burden for the club. After that, the Stamford Bridge Asset Company will be merged into the club, and the club will no longer have to worry about the lease period of the stadium."
"And, we are preparing to inject the first phase of capital into the club, with a capital of 10 million pounds, mainly for the renovation of the stadium, the operation of the transfer market and the improvement of staff treatment."
"In the past, the Stamford Bridge stadium has been remodeled for four years and has not been completed, which has seriously affected the team's games and fans' viewing enjoyment. We are ready to complete the renovation of the stadium before 1983!"
"Dear Sir Xia..."
...
Most of the reporters present were from various newspapers under the Mirror Group. They all received reminders before coming, so the order of the entire press conference was maintained well, and there were no sharp problems.
Between the questions and answers, all the important information was publicly explained and made clear.
The entire press conference took nearly 40 minutes, and finally ended successfully.
The reporters, who could not wait, rushed to their respective newspaper offices immediately.
Of course, some of the evening newspapers benefited first. After the expedited revision, the evening newspapers were delivered to various newsstands at a time-stamped time.
Details about Chelsea Football Club began to spread as the off-duty crowd bought the newspapers, with Chelsea fans reacting the most.
Although the new club chairman is a Chinese, the racial issue makes some arrogant British people very unhappy, but fortunately Xia Yu still wears a title of "new jazz" on his head, this halo offsets most of his bias.
Of course, what excites the fans the most is that they see the hope of Chelsea's rise from the big money of the Bright Fund.
Stamford Bridge is completely owned by Chelsea, and with the debts paid, the new owner has paid Chelsea £17 million as soon as he arrives, which is a huge amount.
Even after removing the 7 million pounds to pay the debt, the remaining 10 million pounds of the capital injection will also cover the cost of the stadium renovation, but at least there will be 7 million pounds left.
If the seven million pounds were put into the transfer market, it would be unbelievable. You must know that Liverpool's current top scorer Ian Rush was signed by Liverpool last year. He only spent 300,000 pounds, and the price is broken. The record price for a player under 20 in the UK.
Now the transfer price of top stars is only 500,000 to 600,000 pounds, and 7 million pounds is definitely enough for Chelsea to build a luxurious camp!
The hope of Chelsea's rise is here!
The next morning, with the opening of the major daily newspapers, Chelsea's news is not limited to London, not only England, but also Scotland, Ireland and Wales are paying attention to the news.
Different from the surprises of fans and the crowd watching the fun, the clubs in English football, which have the most direct competition relationship, have the most complicated moods. Envy, jealousy and hatred, satirized Chelsea as a nouveau riche in private, and lost the face of London.
But Chelsea fans can ignore these, as long as Chelsea has the hope of rising.
Under this boiling public opinion, Elton Collin found Alex Ferguson and sent him an invitation to go to Chelsea as manager.
There is no doubt that although Aberdeen is one of the main cities in Scotland, it is definitely not comparable to London, and the intensity of competition in English football is now higher than that in Scotland.
Alex Ferguson has been in Scotland from his playing days until he became a coach, and there is a certain appeal to English football.
Not to mention, Chelsea Football Club has now changed dramatically and has the foundation to build a giant.
And this is also the beneficial influence of Xia Yu's high-profile operation of Chelsea.
Barcelona and Real Madrid have set the best example for Xia Yu in the previous life. In Xia Yu's plan, Chelsea will also follow this path of giants and make Chelsea the holy land of world football. At that time, as long as Chelsea throws away With an olive branch, the best players in the world can't resist the temptation to go to Chelsea...
Finally, under the constant sincere persuasion of Elton Collin, Alex Ferguson decided to make a request. He wanted to meet the chairman of Chelsea Football Club.
Elton Collin agreed decisively. After contacting Xia Yu, considering that the Aberdeen team had a game in the near future, the head coach Alex Ferguson could not stay away, so Xia Yu set the meeting place in Glasgow, Scotland. .
Xia Yu, who had just returned from Glasgow, had to board the plane to Scotland again.
And the meeting place, Xia Yu set at the home he just bought - Brock Castle.
...
Alex Ferguson, who was in his prime, had a very good mental outlook. At this time, he did not wear glasses, and he did not have the scholarly temperament like later generations.
"Mr. Ferguson, you are welcome!"
"Sir Xia, it's an honor to receive your invitation!"
"Please sit down!"
"What do you want?"
"A cup of black coffee, thank you!"
"OK, just a second!"
After a brief exchange, the distance between the two narrowed, and Alex Ferguson relaxed a little.
Xia Yu didn't waste too much time and said to him straight to the point: "Coach Ferguson, Elton Collin should have told you something, you know, he recommended Bob Paisley, Bryan Clough and Tony Barton, I'm not boasting, except for Bob Paisley, who is about to retire, I'm sure I can get them to Chelsea."
"but I do not have!"
"I think you are the coach Chelsea needs most, you are no worse than any of them!"
Hearing Xia Yu's high evaluation suddenly, Alex Fergusonton was flattered.
Although he has always been very confident, he also knows the gap between himself and these three legendary England coaches.
He also did not doubt Xia Yu's strength, because he used the limited time yesterday to inquire about the strength of the Bright Fund. Yesterday, he was shocked!
Therefore, Xia Yu valued him so much, which also changed his mentality a lot.
"Sir Xia, thank you for acknowledging me."
"I want to ask, if I were Chelsea, how much support would you give me?"
After asking, Alex Ferguson stared closely at Xia Yu.
Alex Ferguson was so direct, which also gave Xia Yu a greater certainty in his heart.
He looked directly at Alex Ferguson, and said solemnly: "Coach Ferguson, we Chinese have an old saying, 'Don't use people without suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious'!"
"If you become Chelsea manager, I will give you the greatest authority in the whole of English football!"
"In addition to the management rights of the team, I also give you all the transfer rights!"
"You don't need to think about funding, you don't need to worry about the business operations of the team, and I don't care whether the club is profitable or not!"
"You can buy any star you want, even if the transfer price of the entire top 11 is created by you!"
Alex Ferguson was shocked and stared at Xia Yu blankly, and his emotions kept emerging in his heart.
On the field, the number of a football team is eleven, and Xia Yu's metaphor is telling him.
As long as he wants, he can build a team with the number one player in global football in every position!
This kind of support can be said to be unprecedented!
He couldn't help but be moved by this kind of trust!
Xia Yu looked at Alex Ferguson quietly, waiting for him to calm down.
Seeing him come back to his senses, Xia Yu asked with a smile: "Coach Ferguson, I hope you can make Chelsea a world-famous Blue Army with your own hands until the end of your coaching career at Chelsea."
"Do you want to?"
Alex Ferguson took a deep breath and nodded his head: "Sir Xia, thank you for your value and trust in me, I will!"
Xia Yu smiled, got up and extended his hand to Alex Ferguson: "Coach Ferguson, you are welcome to join us!"
Alex Ferguson stretched out his hand and held Xia Yu tightly together.
After sitting down again.
The distance between the two has narrowed a lot.
Xia Yu said with a smile: "Coach Ferguson, I haven't mentioned your salary just now. I don't know the salary system in British football, but I can promise that your salary will be the highest in the UK."
Alex Ferguson smiled wider and thanked respectfully: "Thank you!"
Xia Yu continued: "Coach Ferguson, I hope you can explain the situation to the chairman of Aberdeen Club as soon as you go back, and let him find a coach as soon as possible."
"The winter transfer period is coming soon, you can first find the players you need now, the whole Chelsea team, transfer as you wish."
"My requirements this season are not high, there are only two requirements, one is to run the team, and the other is to get out of the relegation zone."
"Of course, if you are accidentally relegated, there is nothing you can do, and you will be promoted again next season."
The last sentence, Xia Yu said with a smile, his mind was very peaceful.
But Alex Ferguson assured with a serious expression: "Sir Xia, please rest assured that Chelsea will never be relegated!"
He still has this confidence. If Chelsea were relegated with the support of Xia Yu's unlimited transfer rights, he would have no face to be a football coach again!
"I see your performance!"
...
After getting the old man, Xia Yu returned to London with a happy mood.
After returning, he also added a position to Elton Collin - financial manager of Chelsea Football Club, and explained his support for Alex Ferguson.
After everything was in order, Xia Yu took a break and went to France in a low-key manner.
A succession of events had delayed his French itinerary, and now it's almost December, it's time to pass!
