Chapter 298 Red Devils Manchester United

The reason why he came to the UK was that Zhao Chen wanted to fulfill his agreement with Knight to acquire a Class A football team in the five major leagues. This was his purpose in coming to the UK.

As we all know, the five top leagues in Europe are currently Serie A, English League One (there was no Premier League in that era), La Liga, Bundesliga and Ligue 1. Of course, since the Bosemann bill has not yet appeared, the competitiveness of the Dutch Eredivisie and the strength of the top teams are not much worse than that of the five top leagues.

Among the five top leagues at present, Serie A is undoubtedly the most famous, and it will be known as the Small World Cup in a few years.

During the 1980-1981 season, the Italian Football Association announced that the foreign player market would be reopened, and each team could recruit two foreign players. This is why Serie A began to emerge and became the leader of the five top leagues. Among them, when Platini, who was the world's number one player, transferred to Juventus and Zico to Udinese, was undoubtedly stronger.

However, as a veteran, Zhao Chen would not go to the Serie A. Everyone knows that the current era of Serie A is still dominated by the Holy League composed of Milan and Juventus. In other words, at least eight of the ten Serie A champions were blowing by these two big Serie A giants. Just look at Inter Milan more than ten years later. The lineup looks better, but he still can't win the Serie A championship. It was not until the phone door appeared. Unfortunately, Serie A was no longer the leader at that time.

In other words, the current Serie A is very deep. Even if Zhao Chen is very rich to invest in Serie A to buy various world-class players, he is afraid that what he does will be useless at that time. Even the referee can control the referee at will. No matter how good the players are, they will be under the influence. After all, they are the local tyrants.

So Serie A was abandoned first, and the next one was La Liga. At present, the most famous team in La Liga is naturally the rule of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Unfortunately, these two teams are maintained by the government and are teams that cannot be bought even if they have money. As for the so-called third giants in La Liga Atletico Madrid and the strong team Valencia, Zhao Chen is a little disliked.

In this era, players are generally cheaper. Even the current top-notch Pu Godfather is worth more than 10 million US dollars at most, while ordinary players who meet the standards of the First Division are often able to win hundreds of thousands of dollars. It can be seen from the value of the players. Now even if the giants in the First Division are slain, they cannot be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which is incomparable to later generations.

Apart from Serie A and La Liga, the next one is undoubtedly the English League and Bundesliga. As for Ligue 1, go to hell. As long as you are not a fool, you will know the reason.

Needless to say, the biggest giant in the League One is the Reds Liverpool. Unfortunately, even if there is a chance of acquiring it, Zhao Chen dared not take it. Think about the Heisel Massacre next year and the Hillsborough Massacre in 1989. This pit is too big, and Zhao Chen dared not jump in. Because before and after these two major tragedies, the Reds entered a period of decline.

Among the four major Premier League giants in later generations, in addition to the Reds Liverpool, who was cheated by two major tragedies, there are also Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Among the three remaining giants, Chelsea is not even considered a strong team. As for Manchester United and Arsenal, they cannot be considered a giant. They can only be considered a fake giant if they die. Especially Arsenal and Chelsea, even before Zhao Chen was reborn, they did not win the European Championship Cup, and even in later generations, they cannot be considered a real giant. Because the Champions League is the club's greatest honor. The gold content is undoubtedly better than the A League champion, and the Champions League is the biggest symbol of the giants.

As for the Bundesliga, only the Bundesliga giant Munich. As for other Bundesliga teams, Zhao Chen really doesn't like it, so his vision is limited to the English League, while the targets are Arsenal and Manchester United.

Among these two teams, Zhao Chen undoubtedly tends toward Manchester United. Although Arsenal and Manchester United have similar historical results at present. However, Manchester United already has Old Trafford Stadium, so there is no need to say about Arsenal. For a team, the stadium can be said to be crucial.

Although Arsenal, which has no big stadium, is located in London, there are many teams in London, and fans are naturally divided by many teams. Manchester United is located in Manchester City. Perhaps not as good as London, but no matter what, it is the second largest city in the UK. The teams that can compete are still in decline. The fans' resources are obviously richer than Arsenal.

Manchester United has won seven top league titles now, but the last one was in the 1966/67 season, which was last year, and won the FA Cup and the Charity Shield Cup. Although it has not reached its previous peak, at least the team is still maintaining good results.

Manchester United is not listed now, nor does it belong to individuals, but like some companies, it belongs to the director system, which is the so-called shareholding system. Each director has more or less some of Manchester United's shares.

The biggest director of Manchester United is now named Richard Wilkins (I can't find it, I can only do it casually). He is a local rich man in Manchester. He made his fortune by real estate in his early years.

Britain was the first country to impose property taxes. There is also a proverb in this country: a person's house, a person's castle. The meaning is "A person's home is his castle!"

This shows how much importance the British attach to real estate.

But because of this, the UK's real estate industry entered a low period in the past few years, and Richard Wilkins, who made his fortune in real estate, has long been in short supply due to the local downturn.

"Hello, Mr. Richard, I'm glad to see you!" In an English villa in the suburb of Manchester, Zhao Chen met Richard Wilkins. Richard Wilkins looked about sixty years old, and he was enough to be the title of Mr.

"Where, Mr. Zhao Chen is so flirting!" Richard Wilkins's face was full of warm smiles, wrinkling the wrinkles on his face, looking like an old tree bark.

"Mr. Zhao Chen, I have watched "2010 Space Odyssey" compiled by Master Clark, and I admire the views in it!"

"Where is where! Where is it comparable to Mr. Richard. You started from scratch and had this family business in just a few decades. It is really admirable!" Zhao Chen's ears were so calloused that he could not care about this kind of flattery.

Richard Wilkins couldn't help laughing loudly when he heard this, saying, "If others say I really believe this, it's just that Mr. Zhao Chen is not listed here. Mr. Zhao Chen has started from scratch, and has entered the Forbes rich list in just a few years. He is much better than me, the old man! Don't mention this again, otherwise the old man will be ashamed."

"Mr. Richard is so polite." Zhao Chen smiled awkwardly. He knew that he had taken a real horse's legs this time.

"Mr. Zhao Chen, judging from the current trend, my British Empire seems to have a tendency to compromise on the Hong Kong issue. In the past two years, Hong Kong real estate has dropped severely, and I heard that you have purchased a large number of real estate during this period. I wonder if this matter is serious? If it is true, then the profits in it are really uncountable."

Richard Wilkins may have guessed the purpose of Zhao Chen coming here, but obviously he did not immediately get into the topic, but instead moved to the property he cared about the most.

"This is true, but the two sides have not signed a treaty completely yet, and everything is still unknown. It is precisely because of this that the properties under my property have not actually appreciated much at present."

"Mr. Zhao Chen, you and I are both wise people. It will take a long time for the leaders of both parties to sign a contract. The interests are currently in place. Recently, I have the intention to invest in real estate in Xiangjiang, but I still need Mr. Zhao Chen's help."

Zhao Chen naturally understood Richard Wilkins's words. To put it bluntly, although he was a British man, he had no acquaintances in Hong Kong. Purchasing a large amount of real estate not only required a lot of funds, but also needed necessary connections to manage, but he just lacked connections.

"Where is Mr. Richard talking, everyone can help each other! But I also have one thing to ask for advice from Mr. Richard!"

"Is it about Manchester United?"

Zhao Chen was not surprised that Richard Wilkins guessed his intentions. It was not difficult to guess as long as he was a normal person staying in Richard's position.
