Chapter 408
The person who appeared in Li Shiguang's mind was none other than Lao Chen! This boss, who was considered the first wave of football players in China, had withdrawn from the rotten Chinese football scene, but he had never given up on youth training and overseas markets. At least in Li Shiguang's opinion, Chen Guanhai, his father, had some football sentiments in his heart. Otherwise, based on Chen Guanhai's two casual words, Lao Chen would not have traveled thousands of miles to Germany to talk to Li Shiguang about investing in Leeds United. Moreover, Lao Chen's situation was quite consistent with Moore's idea of external funds. The real estate market in China is about to take off, and Lao Chen can't spare so much time to manage foreign industries. So even if he acquires, he will definitely not acquire it in full, but buy a part of the shares and try to use Liverpool as a bridgehead for talented young players in China to enter Europe. Of course, if Moores and Lao Chen can talk together, then Li Shiguang will more or less gain something. First, Liverpool has received funds, so Moores will not lose all confidence. If he wants to sell players, he can also have a good relationship with a buyer with certain strength!
Second, having one more competitive opponent in the league may allow Mansour to invest more after acquiring Manchester City. If he finds Leeds United, his offer will be more unscrupulous!
Finally, perhaps it is the last obsession of Li Shiguang for Chinese football.
Li Shiguang knows that Lao Chen has been investing in youth training. If he can successfully invest in Liverpool, then perhaps in the near future, those young people in China who are passionate about football will at least have a clean environment and a place that leads Asia in all aspects of football!
After a little consideration, Li Shiguang felt that this path could be tried.
So he no longer hesitated.
He stared at Morse seriously and asked, "David, if I can introduce you to capital from the East that will not acquire the club in full and will not interfere in the specific affairs of the club, would you like to talk?"
"Capital from the East?" Morse repeated Li Shiguang's words in a low voice, but he also realized that what Li Shiguang threw might be the last and most suitable straw to save his life, and immediately replied, "If it's really like what you said, let alone the East, I'm even willing to talk to capital from Argentina!"
"Okay!" Li Shiguang nodded, stood up and prepared to leave, "I'll call you later, I'm leaving first, the players are still waiting for me."
Seeing this.
Morse also stood up immediately and took the initiative to hug Li Shiguang. His tone of voice was somewhat emotional: "Thank you, Li! When you go back, ask Allen to contact me so that I can have someone transfer 11 million euros to you."
Li Shiguang smiled and nodded: "Okay... As for the supplementary agreement related to Torres, if you finally reach an agreement and Liverpool has new funds injected, come and sign with me."
····
It is about 100 kilometers from Liverpool to Leeds. In less than two hours, the Leeds United team, which won the victory, returned to Leeds.
Since Leeds United will play at home in the FA Cup match against Sunderland the day after tomorrow, the players of Leeds United do not have to travel long distances. After arriving in Leeds, Li Shiguang waved his hand and announced the disbandment on the spot. He will train tomorrow morning and have a half-day holiday in the afternoon.
Li Shiguang himself was not idle. After taking care of his personal hygiene at home and having a good time with Shakira, he came to the study alone and called Lao Chen.
China.
Imperial capital.
Lao Chen had just finished a meeting and was on his way back to the company headquarters. He woke up early and was taking a nap in the car when suddenly the phone in his pocket rang.
Lao Chen was very upset. He had finally found some time to rest, but was interrupted by a phone call.
He reached into his pocket to touch his phone.
But Lao Chen had already made up his mind that if he saw that the person calling was not one of those leaders, he would scold him after answering the call.
However, when Lao Chen saw the name displayed on the phone screen, he was stunned.
It was indeed not a leader, but after the call was connected, the quality three links that had been brewing were not spoken out, and instead, Chen Guanhai had a gentle tone that he had not felt for a long time.
"Xiao Li, what's the matter with the call? It's late over there, right? Are you still not asleep?"
"Uncle Chen, hello! Are you busy? Didn't I disturb you?" Facing Lao Chen, Li Shiguang was still very polite.
"Don't bother me." Old Chen smiled, "I just finished a meeting and am in the car now."
"That's good." Seeing that Old Chen was also in a relatively private environment, Li Shiguang didn't say much and directly explained the purpose of his call, "Uncle Chen,You really called for something. I want to ask, do you have any plans to invest in football? "
"You don't know me yet? Youth training is okay... China's national football team... Wait!" At first, Lao Chen didn't react. When he heard about investing in football, his first reaction was to refuse. But when he realized that the person on the other end of the phone was Li Shiguang, not those stupid leaders of the Football Association, Lao Chen stopped talking halfway, "You are talking about football... You don't mean... the Premier League, do you? "
Li Shiguang knew that Lao Chen had misunderstood at the beginning. Seeing him react, he couldn't help but laugh: "Uncle Chen! Of course I'm talking about the Premier League... Chinese clubs, I'm not familiar with them either. "
As soon as the words fell.
Lao Chen's breathing on the phone suddenly became heavier.
Li Shiguang knew.
He was right.
For football, Lao Chen still did not give up!
Li Shiguang did not let him wait too long, probably only two or three seconds, Lao Chen's voice sounded again on the phone, but compared with the previous tone, it was three points more serious.
"Xiao Li, you want to sell shares again? Tell me in detail."
"Hehe." Li Shiguang chuckled, "Uncle Chen, I don't sell shares, there are others who want to sell."
"Who? ”
“Liverpool’s owner, David Moores…”
Old Chen didn’t know Moores.
But Liverpool, as long as you watch football, you can’t not know it!
When he heard that Liverpool wanted to sell shares, the fire in Old Chen’s heart was completely ignited!
This is Liverpool.
Champions League champions, a century-old giant.
If I can really get it, wouldn’t it be better than buying a little bit of Leeds United’s shares?
So, Old Chen showed a hint of surprise on his face, and confirmed in disbelief: “Really! ? You are talking about Liverpool in the Premier League! ? They really want to sell! ? ”
“Of course, is there a second team called Liverpool in the world! ? ” Li Shiguang smiled and corrected Old Chen’s statement, “Three hours ago, I just walked out of Moore’s office, and he really wanted to sell part of Liverpool’s shares.”
Old Chen frowned, a little bit uninterested: “Just a part? "
Li Shiguang immediately noticed the change in Lao Chen's tone: "Yes, he wants to introduce external funds, but he doesn't want to give up control of Liverpool. But I think this method is definitely the best for Uncle Chen!"
Seeing that Li Shiguang had a different opinion, Lao Chen also became interested and quickly asked: "Oh? Why do you think so?"
