Chapter 627: English tradition

Although it has been predicted, the reaction of Manchester United fans is somewhat beyond Ronan's expectations. In fact, this also shows the conservative and stubbornness of the British.
It seems that only the British can play soccer.
This also reminded Ronan of England players. All kinds of emperor stars appeared in an endless stream. As a result, one by one was cheating. The so-called golden generation is actually very few.
Every time they go to a big game, the British media always named the strongest England team, which they considered to be the super favorite, but they were always killed by their own stars.
For example, the one from Liverpool, it can be said that England will be pitted in the competition.
Later, someone said that Liverpool owed him a Premier League champion, but after that shocking kneel, these people were all speechless and even turned into a Premier League champion he owed Liverpool.
Once in 2015, people looked back and found the so-called golden generation of England, as well as various imperial stars. The most reliable person was David Beckham.
Manchester United fans strongly opposed it, but the British media responded relatively flatly. It was probably after the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich’s acquisition of Chelsea last year. For foreign capital to enter the Premier League, there are already expectations and preparations.
No matter how the fans object, the acquisition is advancing rapidly.
Ronan personally sits in London, Korver and Jefferson’s team split up, staring at their prey coldly, and the ‘Anderson’ shell company established specifically for this acquisition continues to absorb Manchester United’s shares from the market.
For many years, Manchester United has been a model of commercial development in the Premier League and even European football. It has inspired countless people to imitate and learn from it. But it is this obvious commercial brand that determines that the club will become some sports speculators. The goal, in a profitable situation, the power of capital is simply pervasive.
In 1999, under the recommendation of Ferguson, two Irish horse racing tycoons, Manie and McManus, began to acquire Manchester United and soon became the club’s number one shareholder. After the goal was achieved, the two people also showed that the capital was turned. The ruthless side.
They have gradually contradicted Ferguson, in order to suppress Ferguson's position in the club and to ensure their own investment, they raised 99 questions, directed at the various questions of Ferguson and Manchester United management, and even the head coach involved in the black gold scandal.
In fact, just like Hollywood, black gold is a well-known unspoken rule in football circles, and the most direct result of putting these things on the table is that they have become public enemies from fans to clubs to English football.
As for the authenticity of the black gold rumors, it is obviously not important anymore.
In fact, Manier and McManus don’t like football at all. The purpose of acquiring Manchester United’s shares is very simple. It is to make money. From becoming a shareholder of Manchester United until now, they have not visited Old Trafford. Minutes of the game.
Ronan's secondary market moves frequently, and the Abu Dhabi consortium does not fall behind, and Manchester United's stock price rises accordingly.
It was in this situation that Ronan received the news that Chief Mansour wanted to meet him.
The two met in the drawing room of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
"I didn't expect that we would meet again in this situation." Mansour spoke very fluent English, maybe he had practiced and strengthened, and he also had a somewhat authentic London accent: "Ronan, you haven't changed much. "
Ronan shook hands with Mansour and said with a smile: "I am very happy to see Mr. Minister again."
Mansour glanced at Connie, the assistant behind Ronan, and said, "Shall we chat alone?"
Ronan waved his hand, Connie left the living room, and the fat man who followed Mansour walked out quickly, and solemnly closed the door.
"When we first met back then, were you just twenty years old?" Mansour seemed particularly calm.
Ronan smiled and said, "It was 1998, and I was just 20 years old." He could guess the meaning of Mansour's words, and further said: "I was able to get the support of Mr. Minister at that time. Fortunately, the facts have also proved that Mr. Minister’s support ultimately brought about a win-win situation. Shahai Entertainment got out of bankruptcy and the investment bureau of the Investment Bureau received a corresponding return."
"Haha..." Mansour laughed: "Yes, a win-win situation."
He could hear that the other party clearly told him that the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority invested in Shahai Entertainment, and Shahai Entertainment and Ronan Anderson had already given corresponding investment returns.
Ronan is very simple: "Sandhai Entertainment has cooperated with Abu Dhabi Investment Authority twice in total, and the return of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is more than 50%. This is definitely the top investment return ratio in Hollywood. "
Mansour understood that the other party was trying to completely separate the things back then.
Without waiting for Mansour to speak again, Ronan said: "Shahai Entertainment almost became a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. If I hadn't insisted on it, there would be no Relativity Entertainment today."
At that time, both parties were business cooperation with their own purpose. Shahai Entertainment needed funds. The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority wanted to open up the publicity in the film industry, and even sought to win Shahai Entertainment.
There is no need to use these to provoke favors.
Mansour would not give up on this, and simply said: "Ronan, the Abu Dhabi consortium intends to acquire the Manchester United club."
Ronan said: "It's a coincidence that my two friends and I are also planning to acquire Manchester United."
"You reminded me that the Abu Dhabi consortium can promote itself in both sports and culture." Mansour said calmly: "In these years, the Abu Dhabi consortium has made a lot of achievements, and this time it is very determined."
Ronan smiled: "Mr. Minister, consider it from another angle. Even if the acquisition is unsuccessful, the Abu Dhabi Consortium has played a certain propaganda effect."
Mansour shook his head: "Ronan, we are old friends. There is no need for such meaningless competition. You take the initiative to give in. If you need an Abu Dhabi consortium in the future, you can contact me."
Ronan said: "Thank you Mr. Minister for your kindness, but the acquisition of Manchester United is not my personal act. It also involves two of my friends and partners. They are hard-core fans of Manchester United. The biggest wish in this life is to become this club. As a member of, I can’t break the trust of my friends.

Hearing this, Mansour knew that the meeting today would be difficult to achieve.
"The Abu Dhabi consortium will soon join the competition." Mansour said simply: "The price of the Manchester United club will inevitably be pushed up. Ronan, with your financial resources, even if you add Will Smith and Tom Cruise Can you support this acquisition?"
He specifically reminded: "As far as I know, Relativity Entertainment is not easy in Hollywood nowadays. Several major companies are staring at you. If there is a problem with your capital chain, the consequences..."
Ronan shrugged slightly: "No matter what the consequences, I can bear it."
This minister only stared at Relativity Entertainment, obviously not knowing that his funds did not come from Relativity Entertainment at all.
Mansour knows very well that when things are discussed here, they are basically dead, and Ronan has no plans to give in.
"We were originally partners, and we could even become friends." Mansour said with a heart-to-heart, as if the elders were not obedient younger generations: "But your choice can only make us go further and further. Ronan, this acquisition, In the end, the fight is nothing more than financial resources. Your relativity entertainment is very strong in Hollywood, but when it comes to financial resources..."
Mansour did not continue, but Ronan understood what he meant.
The most important thing for Arab oil tycoons is money!
Ronan said softly, "Mr. Minister, it is not only money that decides this acquisition, otherwise you will not come to see me today."
If it can be solved by relying solely on money, with the strength of the Abu Dhabi consortium, it can be directly crushed.
Mansour looked at Ronan with his eyes, as if he knew him better.
Ronan took the initiative to stand up: "Goodbye." When Mansour stood up, he took the initiative to shake hands: "Mr. Minister, I hope we can still be friends when we meet again."
Mansour’s face was not inferior to Ronan: "I hope so."
The two left separately, Chief Mansour's expression was a bit heavy, Ronan did not look relaxed.
How can it be easy to face a behemoth like the Abu Dhabi Consortium?
Ronan's head kept turning, his thoughts kept rolling, and when he returned to the room, one thought became clearer.
He immediately called Korver and Jefferson to talk about the situation in the meeting, and then discussed for two hours, gradually turning the idea into a plan.
To successfully acquire Manchester United, it is necessary to dissolve the shareholder alliance centered on Manchester United fans.
The entry of the Abu Dhabi consortium into the competition will undoubtedly create many difficulties, but it also brings opportunities.
Ronan then mobilized professionals from the British branch of Embassy Pictures in charge of publicity and liaison with the media to help~EbookFREE.me~ Korver and Jefferson continue to take in all possible Manchester United shares and maintain contact with Manchester United's senior management. People from the British branch of Embassy Pictures opened up media channels. Ronan went to see William again and, in the name of Premier League partner Netflix, deepened his ties with the FA and the Premier League.
In the afternoon, the British football broke the news again, from the United Arab Emirates Abu Dhabi consortium publicly announced the acquisition of Manchester United.
This is not only the explosion of Manchester United fans, but also the employees of British football.
England star Lineker successively criticized Ronan and the Abu Dhabi consortium's acquisition, believing that this would lose the tradition of English football and bring a bad atmosphere to the Premier League, and laymen should not arbitrarily intervene in professional football.
Ronan just smiled when he saw it.
The tradition of English football?
Alcoholism, fights, poor professionalism, wives who specialize in teammates and friends, and ‘European power’ who loses the chain at critical moments. It seems that these are the fine traditions of English football?
