Chapter 624: This is the local tyrant

Joe Lewis was not from a rich family, and he had no background at all.
Twenty or thirty years ago, he ran several wool sweater shops in London, specifically for Japanese tourists, the big local tyrants at the time.
Later, I saw that many Japanese tourists ran a foreign exchange shop because of the inconvenience of currency exchange. What I did not expect was that the foreign exchange shop made more money than his sweater shop.
From then on, he began to enter the foreign exchange market. Through speculation in foreign exchange, he accumulated a fortune. He acquired the company in 1996 and began to involve in large-scale foreign exchange transactions. He became a first-class rich man. At its peak, it was worth close to four billion pounds.
In the 1990s, with the advent of the enthusiasm for the listing of Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, almost all Premier League teams have landed on the London stock market. Although it ended in failure, it stimulated Lewis.
So, soon, Lewis, together with Magnell and McManus, the two Manchester United shareholders, tried to initiate the acquisition of Manchester United, but at the last minute, it also failed.
But the failure of the acquisition of Manchester United did not shake Lewis' determination to use football club stocks to make money, coupled with the emergence of Daniel Levy, a famous gold broker in the London stock market and an avid fan of Tottenham Hotspur.
As a result, the two joined forces and through the company, they gradually acquired Tottenham Hotspur, Scottish Rangers, Slavia Prague, Bulgarian cska Sofia, Athens aek, Vicenza, and Basel. Many European teams have even completed holdings.
The peak moment occurred in 1999. Aek Athens and Slavia Prague brought UEFA to court on the grounds that an old rule in European professional football was that the ownership belonged to the same person or group. Teams, due to the principle of fair play, cannot participate in the same competition.
But in the end, UEFA still kicked Athens Aek out of the UEFA Cup.
Since then, management has become difficult.
What’s more terrible is that with the rapid decline of the football club’s IPO frenzy in the late 1990s, the stocks of almost all listed clubs have fallen all the way, especially Tottenham Hotspur, the lowest even fell to less than 10 one.
Joe Lewis lost a mess in this trade.
But it was also at this time that he began to adjust his business direction and gradually put resources on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
Therefore, starting in 2003, he aggressively acquired shares of Tottenham Hotspur, and appointed Daniel Levy to the White Hart Lane Stadium, so the North London team also has a strong rise in recent years. .
But even if Tottenham Hotspur scores well, Joe Lewis has not changed his original thoughts.
He runs the North London team for only one purpose, and that is to make money!
Especially in recent years, as the economic crisis hits, Joe Lewis has also successively transferred his assets, successively investing in medical institutions, bars, restaurants, art collections and so on.
For Tottenham Hotspur, this hot potato, he longed to get rid of it.
From the acquisition of Tottenham Hotspur to the present, there is no doubt that the closest thing to his goal of cashing out is now!
Two hundred million pounds is undoubtedly a pretty good price.
In the final analysis, it is because the current Premier League competition is too fierce.
Now, what is placed in front of Lewis is to continue to invest and keep the top four in the league, or he can simply cash out and sell and leave after making a fortune.
If the quotation of 200 million pounds is followed, Lewis can make at least 100 million.
This also more or less made up for his regret of the painful losses he suffered in running a football club in the past few years.
"Prime Minister Hamad, I accept your offer, 200 million pounds!"
Joe Lewis stood up suddenly in the silent conference room and exhaled heavily.
This old Englishman, who is already over seventy years old, still looks very courageous. No wonder he can be ranked in the top three hundred on the Forbes list. No matter how you look at it, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
"Okay, Mr. Lewis!" Prime Minister Hamad also stood up, laughing, "Give me a week to raise funds!"
Lewis nodded, reached out and buttoned the suit buttons, and glanced at the crowd again. There was nothing he had done here.
At the moment he nodded in agreement, he had no relationship with Tottenham Hotspur.
Daniel Levy and Yang Huan both got up to see him off, were they an old man?
Joe Lewis was sent away. Tottenham Hotspur’s shareholders and executives were all present, so the meeting started directly.
Yang Huan proposed that Daniel Levy continue to serve as the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur, because he believes that in the entire Premier League, and even the entire Europe, Daniel Levy is definitely the best club operator.
Prime Minister Hamad had no objections and agreed on the spot. At the same time, he proposed that his son Hamad be the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, which was passed smoothly.
This is already an agreement reached by the Tottenham Hotspur Big Three before, and now it is just a cutscene.
The real highlight is the next!
"Young Master Huan told me before that in the new season, the competition in the Premier League will become increasingly fierce." Prime Minister Hamad said with concern.
Daniel Levy nodded and said: "Yes, yes, Southampton is still the most powerful contender for the championship, Manchester United is always strong, Manchester City is also ambitious, Arsenal must be desperate to keep the top four in the league, especially this summer. , This London rival is eyeing Real Madrid’s Ozil and Higuain."
Interestingly speaking, the reason why Real Madrid wanted to sell Özil, Higuain and other stars in the team was to raise money to buy Southampton's Gareth Bale and Vidal.
"Chelsea lost the UEFA Champions League qualification last season, and even failed to obtain the UEFA Europa League qualification. This season Mourinho entered the palace for the second time. Abramovich has decided to open his pocketbook and sign up for the blues. It will definitely be greatly improved."
"Also with Liverpool, although Rogers' team sold Suarez for 40 million pounds, the overall strength is still quite good, plus Everton, this season's Premier League will become more tragic than ever."
Prime Minister Hamad is completely unclear about these analyses and is not interested in these teams.
"I want to know, is there any way to make Tottenham Hotspur the strongest team in the Premier League in the shortest possible time."
Feeling the direct gaze from the Prime Minister of Qatar, Daniel Levy glanced at Yang Huan with a wry smile, feeling depressed in his heart.
It seems that my new partner is a football idiot!
Really thought it was so easy to build a Premier League team?
Right now almost all the famous players have been wiped out by the giants.
Southampton can rise rapidly within three years. In addition to coincidence, the means and vision of signing up are also indispensable.
For Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel Levy himself is not sure.
"Master Huan?" Prime Minister Hamad looked at Yang Huan for help.
Everyone present, including Charlene Laherit, suddenly realized that the Prime Minister Hamad’s trust in Yang Huan was the one that puts his heart in his heart.
Yang Huan smiled Shiran, "I said that today's professional football is capital football, so much money may not be able to burn a championship, but if you don't burn money, you definitely have no hope!"
What is the reason why Arsenal has not had a championship for many years?
Don't talk about whether it is soft or not, or how Wenger is, in the final analysis two words, investment!
No input, no output!
"Then how is the investment method?" Prime Minister Hamad asked again.
Yang Huan's expression is interesting now. In these years, if you have money, you may not know how to spend it!
"It's very simple, smash a high-level star, but with knowledge, it is best to be the kind of star who can come to play and who is not old."
Daniel Levy heard it and nodded repeatedly.
Master Huan’s suggestion is not bad. Burning money is not casual, it has to be burned on the blade.
"You are around twenty-five years old, it is better to be lower, long-term investment, choose a reliable world coach, it is easier to achieve results."
Prime Minister Hamad heard this and found it reasonable.
"Since it is to invest, it depends on your budget." Yang Huan looked at Prime Minister Hamad and asked with a smile.
This is also a test. If you fucking, a dignified prime minister of Qatar, he turns out to be an out-and-out miser. If you talk about it, you might as well just shrink and go on a diet.
Prime Minister Hamad didn't know.
When I saw him, he also laughed, "I believe that your young master Huan's vision and wisdom, as long as you can see it and can buy it, I can afford it!"
This remark also boosted the confidence of all Tottenham Hotspur managers present.
What is a local tyrant?
This is called a local tyrant!
No matter who you want to buy, just say, buy whoever you like.
This is not a local tyrant, who is the local tyrant?
Daniel Levy immediately came out to brush up on his sense of existence, and followed the words of Master Huan just now, and continued.
"Actually, we originally introduced Gary Cahill and Markovic from Southampton, Moutinho from Atletico Madrid, Eriksen from Ajax, Emre Can from Bayern Munich, As well as the Argentine left-back Rojo of Sporting Lisbon, they are both outstanding stars and rookies."
Prime Minister Hamad nodded immediately. Although he did not know these players, he knew that they were recommended by Yang Huan.
In the past few years, the vision of the Southampton scout team is world-famous.
Who doesn't know, the players that the Saints are fond of cannot be wrong.
"So, for now, we are missing a center!"
But as soon as Daniel Levy finished speaking, Yang Huan shook his head and sighed.
"Daniel, what you said is right, but the format is too small!"
"The structure is too small?" Daniel Levy was startled, what do you mean?
Even Prime Minister Hamad and everyone present felt strange.
Didn’t your Master Huan just praise Daniel Levy just now?
Why are you criticizing again when you look back now?
"I said you are small, so don't be angry!" Yang Huan smiled and looked at Daniel Levy.
"You are still using the old ideas of Tottenham Hotspur before, and you don’t want to think that we are completely different from the past. We can reuse Alan Lennon before, but now, can we just use it? ?"
Uh……
The presence was silent.
Everyone was choked by what Young Master Huan said.
Alan Lennon? Will it be?
Master Huan, your situation is too high, right?
Are they at least an England international player?
Although only occasionally to brush up on the sense of existence, there is no need to debase him into this way?
"I really want to say that Tottenham Hotspur’s current situation is the top four in the league, and even the league championship. The introduced players must be implemented in accordance with this standard, so like Alan Lennon and Hedder Stone, Sandro, Cabool, etc., obviously do not meet the team's goals and positioning."
"Such players, instead of staying in the team and wasting their salary~EbookFREE.me~, it is better to sell them for cash, and then re-introduce a group of players who were in their years to further enhance the team's strength!"
Don't tell me, Yang Huan's remarks were a bit fussy when I heard them on the first day of the first day of the first year, but they can be carefully studied and made sense.
Players like Allen Lennon are in the Premier League. They are inadequate and more than inferior. They are the kind of players that can be used but cannot bring much improvement to the team.
If Tottenham’s goal is still to maintain the forefront of the league and strive to reach the top four in the league, then Alan Lennon should continue to be used, but now it is obviously different.
Instead of leaving Alan Lennon, but not using it, and letting him depreciate, it is better to take advantage of his current international status and his good performance last season to sell him as soon as possible to cash out.
But before Daniel Levy and others could react, Yang Huan laughed again.
"I have several candidates here, who can definitely help Tottenham Hotspur improve to a level, but I don't know if you have the courage!" r1148
