Chapter II Taiwan Development Investment

Early morning.

The streets of Madrid, the Spanish capital, are crowded with people. A new day has begun. People at work are ready to work.

At the bus stop on the street, when someone was waiting for the bus, he went to the roadside newsstand to buy the latest newspaper to pass the time. After a while, he heard a shout, "Oh my God! Come and see!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Hearing the shouts, many people looked over, and a few walked over directly, and then read the news in the newspaper.

This is a copy of Ass.

"As" is a well-known football media under the Spanish media group P-Jisa. It was founded on December 6, 1967. Its founder is Luis Montiel Balansat, headquartered in Albasanz Street, Madrid, Spain.

The Ass newspaper focuses on football reports, and football is the fastest-growing sports since 1996, so its circulation has been rising for more than ten years. Currently, the newspaper has more than 200,000 copies per day.

In the city of Madrid, the newspaper kiosks on the street and small shops on the street can be bought everywhere.

The news from the "As" published this morning surprised the passers-by. The newspaper's title was very conspicuous, "The mysterious Chinese company is negotiating the acquisition with the Hill family!"

"Little Hill is going to sell the club?"

"How can this be done!"

"Aren't we just qualified for the Champions League?"

"God!"

"I hope this is not true!"

“…”

As everyone discussed it, they continued to look down. Those who couldn't get around simply went to the newsstand to buy two more copies.

Soon everyone learned the news.

"As" did not report with great certainty. The source of information mentioned in the newspaper was "according to reliable Atletico Madrid staff," but "As" has a good reputation and hardly makes false reports, which means that this matter is very likely to be true.

The details of the article are basically saying that the Hill family is negotiating with a mysterious Chinese company called 'Taiwan Development Investment'.

The Chinese company hopes to acquire shares that are sufficient to take charge of Atletico Madrid.

"They mean it is best to be able to acquire more than 90%..."

With this incident, everyone around immediately started talking.

They didn't even have the intention of waiting for the bus to work.

These people all live in southern Madrid and are the blue-collar class in the city. In many people's opinion, Atletico Madrid represents the working class, so most of them are pure Atletico Madrid fans.

In fact, it is not surprising that there are foreign capitals who want to acquire Atletico Madrid club. There are so many rich people around the world, and there are many people who hope to play football. The hottest football world is the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga. It is not surprising that Atletico Madrid has become the target.

Let’s not watch the Premier League, are each team controlled by foreign investors?

But what Atletico Madrid fans can't accept is that the Hill family really started negotiations with that Chinese company?

Why did Xiao Hill do this!

When it comes to Atletico Madrid, many people can think of Old Hill.

From a certain perspective, Old Hill is the real idol of Atletico Madrid.

When it comes to Atletico Madrid, they may not pay attention to the more than 200 players and 37 innocent coaches who have passed by here in 16 years, but they will never forget Old Hill: He has unique vision and brought to Atletico Madrid Kiko, Vieri, Caminero, Hasselbainc, Juninho and Torres. He brought 2 King's Cup championships and 1 historic double to the infatuated fans, and the most classic game in the past 10 years that was hailed as La Liga in October 1993 (when he was behind 0-3, he finally reversed 4-3 against Barcelona at the time); in 10 years, he found three league top scorers for the team, and of course two golden boots in two years in Class II, and Resino broke Zov's world record of not conceding goals: more than 1,275 minutes...

Just like his name, for Atletico Madrid fans, he is Jesus of Atletico Madrid - the savior of the third largest club in Spain.

Under a series of halos, there is Old Hill's sharp gaze and unforgiving speech.

But now, no one will regret the departure of Old Hill, because "Jesus" did not really bring the gospel to Madrid. Many times he is more like Satan - after letting fans taste the joy of victory, they are always tortured by various disputes caused by him.

Old Hill was unrestrained, acted recklessly, and was rude by nature. He was kicked out of Benab's VIP box by former Real Madrid chairman Mendoza. He criticized the referee every year, but the team then had to take more referees' conspiracy. He was outspoken but ignored the team's difficulties. He was impatient and changed coaches, and he also set a world record: 37 coaches were swept out by him in 16 years, and the shortest was just leaving after three consecutive losses.

After a series of angers, he finally completely threw Atletico Madrid into hell: on May 7, 2000, Atletico Madrid was demoted to Class B after 66 years.

In the first season of the B Division, Old Hill changed three coaches, but still did not bring the team out of crisis. At the same time, the team's debt was as high as 66 million euros. Old Hill also tangled with the court with his two sons for three years because of embezzlement of public funds, but in the end he still did not escape sanctions.

Rather than saying that Old Hill is physically and mentally exhausted, it is better to say that he personally pushed the team to the brink of collapse.

When Old Hill died in 2004, the Ass commented, "He is a real Atletico Madrid man, and even embezzled public funds to pay transfer fees for Atletico Madrid; but he is also a profit-oriented businessman. In his name, Atletico Madrid is more of a personal pocket for himself. His departure does not mean the disappearance of the "Hill effect". After all, he did not transfer his 95% stake in the club, but at least he can make this already tormented club have a peaceful summer, without arguments, criticism and internal friction, only pure football."

"I have lost a Raul. I don't want to lose Torres anymore. Let Futerre (former Atletico Madrid manager and current player agent) stay away from Atletico Madrid. I hope you don't sell nino (Torres's love name)."

This is the last words that Old Hill said before his death.

After Old Hill left office, the person who managed the club became his son, Xiao Hill. Xiao Hill is not inferior to Old Hill in management fanaticism, especially in attracting players, and he also brought better results to Atletico Madrid.

Last season, Atletico Madrid ranked fourth in La Liga, proof of which was qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.

Seeing that the club is about to flourish, and the results are getting better and better day by day, she is about to enter the ranks of wealthy families and compete with other European giants, how could Xiao Hill consider selling the club?

Atletico Madrid fans don't understand.

A stone startled a thousand layers of waves!

After the report of "As", the Spanish football circle suddenly became popular, and various Spanish media conducted detailed investigations.

There are two points disclosed in the news from the Ashes newspaper: one is that the Hill family is considering selling shares, and the other is that the name of the mysterious Chinese company - Taiwan Development Investment.

The second point is the core of their investigation.

Taiwan Development Investment, the name is too unfamiliar to the Spanish media. They don’t even understand the pinyin name of ‘tai’, but it’s easy to do with a name. They quickly found that the registration time of this Chinese company was only one year, with a registered capital of 100 million yuan, which is roughly estimated to be about 10 million euros.

A company with an asset of 10 million euros wants to acquire Atletico Madrid?

What a joke!

This is absolutely impossible!

So the Spanish media continued to investigate, and in order to get detailed information, some media sent people to China for interviews and investigations, and the results were obtained in just two days.

This "Taiwan Development Investment" has only been registered for one year and has no business within one year, which is equivalent to a company name that is 100 million yuan.

Then they found the registrant's name, "Kevin Tagore"?

Kevin Tagore?

This name is a bit familiar...

Soon someone found the information - Kevin Tagore, Tagore Wan Group eO, last year's Forbes ranking, Kevin Tagore ranked 901st and his personal assets were US$1.9 billion!

"Marca" immediately disclosed the news, "The registrant of the mysterious Chinese company that acquired Atletico Madrid club is Tagore Wan Investment Group eO Kevin Tagore."

No matter how Spanish media reports, Atletico Madrid fans are very dissatisfied with the club's talk of the acquisition. They do not want the club they like to be controlled by a Chinese company.

In the eyes of many Atletico Madrid fans, the only person in charge of Atletico Madrid club is the Hill family.

The current chairman Cerrezzo is also a right-hand man to Old Hill. He has been the club's vice chairman before. After Old Hill passed away, he officially took over as the club's chairman.

Atletico Madrid fans are satisfied with this situation, especially since 2005, the club's performance has been rising and it won fourth place in the league last season.

In this case, they do not want to see any changes in the club.

Especially... Chinese company acquisition?

Then the future will definitely become uncertain.

So they were very dissatisfied. For two consecutive days, fans raised flags and demonstrated in front of Atletico Madrid's club department.

Atletico Madrid fans hope to put pressure on the club and the Hill family, so that they don’t think about selling the club.

Faced with this situation, Atletico Madrid's official statement soon stated, "The negotiations are still continuing. Mr. Hill did not consider selling all shares, but just hoped to introduce some investment to Atletico Madrid club..."

This made Atletico Madrid fans feel relieved.

Atletico Madrid official said that "Mr. Hill did not consider selling all shares", but this is not the case.

Negotiations have begun.

The two parties have been in contact for more than a week. Tagorevan Group hopes to acquire 51% of the shares in the name of its branch "Taiwan Development Investment".

This is the bottom line.

The biggest problem is that the board of directors of Atletico Madrid, that is, the share distribution is a bit terrifying, because if you want to acquire enough shares, you will definitely not be able to make a name wrong.
