"If someone makes a fucking noise again, don't ask me, just throw them out!" Sean said with a dark face, not paying attention to this group of uncrowned kings at all.
He was never afraid of someone discrediting him, especially when there were groundless speculations, Sean directly sued him for bankruptcy.
Most of them were interviewing Sean for the first time, and they were very uncomfortable and fierce.
But it was precisely because of this viciousness, and because of the American soldiers with live ammunition around them, even though these guys at the scene were dissatisfied, they still calmed down.
Raising his hand, Sean randomly ordered one, and the reporter immediately asked loudly: "Mr. Sean, you are bringing such bodyguards, and they are all armed with heavy weapons. Is this legal? Don't you think it is a kind of punishment for the reporters?" Disrespect?"
"Your question is very good. Don't ask it next time. It's a waste of time!" Sean laughed. The PMC company has obtained a legal license, and the company's registered security personnel are legally qualified to hold guns."
"As for the issue of respect, too many murderers pretended to be journalists to carry out assassinations. Last year, the king of Morocco was killed by a murderer who pretended to be a reporter. What's wrong with my personal safety? Assassination, so you are dissatisfied?"
"I have reason to doubt your motives for speaking. I don't care which newspaper or radio station you are, just give them a letter from a travel lawyer." Sean turned his head and said to Norris who was on the side: "This lawsuit pays me 500 million legal fees. The cost of playing."
Fearing that he couldn't find someone to make an example of others, and let the British reporter get to know him well, this guy jumped out, and Sean naturally accepted it.
It's only 500 million US dollars. Buying a bad-talking character can save a lot of trouble, and Sean thinks it's worth it.
If necessary, 1000 million is not impossible!
In a word, the face of the reporter who just found fault turned pale, and the press conference fell into a dead silence.
Reporters are not afraid of someone arguing with them. The more violent the quarrel, the better, and it can bring traffic. It doesn't matter if they usually clamor to mail a lawyer's letter.
But they were afraid that Xiao En's unruly behavior would be too cruel, and it would be too scary to take money for money, and just throw money at people.
In this kind of public occasion, Sean said 500 million lawyers' fees, so he would definitely spend so much money, but both parties in the lawsuit must hire lawyers, and if the entanglement continues, no one will spend less money.
He is absolutely miserable for causing such a big loss to the company.
This time, the reporter who originally wanted to make things difficult for Sean immediately died down.
As if nothing happened, Sean randomly picked a reporter from The Sun.
"Mr. Sean, may I ask what gave you the idea of buying an English football club?"
"Many, first, I am a football fan myself. Although the United States is called a football desert, there are tall cacti growing in the desert, and I am a football fan." Sean said with a smile: "I like sports very much. There is also an NBA team, an ice hockey team, and two stadiums. I think people have money, and it’s okay to spend some money for their hobbies.”
"Spending money on sports is more meaningful than the same yachts, fine wines, beauties and so on every day. Those things will only make people bored after a long time. I prefer to spend my spare time watching football. Every game is unknown, and every game has surprises."
There was a burst of applause at the scene, don't care if you like Sean or not, there is nothing wrong with what you said, although everyone wants to experience the feeling of boredom.
"Many fans outside are now demonstrating. They oppose an American becoming a shareholder of the team. What do you think about this?"
"Football knows no borders. Anyone who likes football can participate. As for whether you are a Yankee or not, it does not depend on me, but on English football itself."
"I also want to simply be a fan, but the reality doesn't allow it. English football is sick, very sick..." When Sean was speaking, the projection equipment that had been prepared behind him was activated, and a copy of data appear on the big screen.
Every year since British football was banned from European competitions in 1985, data from every club appears on it.
The statistics will not lie. British football is going downhill, and there is no end in sight. There is no club in the entire League One that makes money. Most of them are operating at a loss, and many are on the verge of bankruptcy.
No one has ever made detailed statistics on this, and Xiao En suddenly made such a move, which instantly shocked everyone.
The decline happened little by little, and the frog was boiled in warm water. No one realized that the matter was so serious before it was exposed.
"I don't know how to solve the problems that British football has, but I know that no matter what the solution is, he needs money, a lot of money, and it just so happens that I, Sean, have money, very rich, as a fan , I am willing to contribute to my hobby and British football."
"Maybe money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible!"
"I don't know how much Arsenal spent last year. With Sean here, this year's budget will double!!"
Being rich is just so arrogant, one sentence stunned everyone present.
I don't know if he loves the team or not, but he really dares to spend money!
At this moment, the manager of the Tottenham fan hotel who was watching was jealous. He also wanted Tottenham to be so rich!
It is not 10 years after the establishment of the Premier League, and it is not the most profitable league in the world.
At this trough, Sean believed that he could smash the legs of all the British people with money, and the British people who smashed them would automatically split their legs and welcome him in and out with smiles on their faces!
Chapter 479:
Sean unveiled a fig leaf on the crotch of British football at a press conference in London, which caused an uproar throughout the UK.
In England, nobody doesn't care about football, and with the media reports, the eyes of the whole of England are attracted.
Sean has already played a card, and Murdoch immediately followed up as agreed.
The Sun, The Times, Sky Radio and other media worked together to promote Sean.
Of course, this kind of cooperation will not be seen by others.
There are many British media, and naturally many media agree with the data shown by Sean, and the overall decline of British football is visible to the naked eye, so they support it.
The News Corporation is responsible for adopting a reverse method. When it comes up, it sings the opposite tune, directly denying the authenticity of the data in Sean's hands, saying that Sean is scaremongering.
Then newspapers and TV stations began to interview major clubs. Some public data, such as attendance, ticket prices, number of club staff, player salaries, etc., cannot be concealed, and they can be collected casually.
In the next few days, various detailed data were sorted out by the media. After vertical comparison, everyone can see the difficulties faced by British football.
Facts have proved that what Sean said is correct, but this does not mean that everyone supports Sean's acquisition of Arsenal.
Some Arsenal fans staged a demonstration, demanding that the rich in London buy Arsenal and kick the Yankees out. The Londoners can save Arsenal without the Yankees!
Affected by this argument, the Major government immediately took action and launched a broader argument, is there no one in the UK, let outsiders save British football?
Does anyone in the UK know, but it is impossible for these rich people to save English football.
Just kidding, because of economic problems, these rich people are already having a hard time, and there is no money to invest in football.
Even if it is invested, can it be saved?
I'm afraid that the effort will not be rewarding. Sean dared to say that if Arsenal's budget is doubled, the London rich man who takes over will do the same. Otherwise, people will be caught saying that an Englishman is not as deep as a Yankee for football. .
The rich are all human beings, so they won't jump out to pick up this mess at this time.
Besides, there are more than a hundred English football clubs, and the real fans in the rich circle actually own more or less shares in the club, and the rest are just for show.
It's like the president of the United States invites the NBA champion to the White House every year. Do they like basketball? Nonsense!
……
Just when everyone was attracted by the vortex stirred by Sean, Arsenal vice-chairman David Dunn came to visit.
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Rockefeller." David Dunn's attitude was very humble.
"You're welcome, come and sit." Sean stood up and greeted with a smile.
This David Dunn was Sean's focus, and it was the key to convincing the Hillwood family.
David Dunn, vice-chairman of Arsenal's meritorious service, discovered 'Professor' Arsene Wenger. He was also the one who got Wal-Mart's son-in-law Kroenke to buy Arsenal. After being boycotted by the board of directors, this guy found someone with stronger financial resources. The Russian tycoon is fat, trying to attract the super rich, improve Arsenal's financial situation and save the Gunners.
But in the end, Arsenal was kicked out because of resistance from conservative shareholders.
It's just ridiculous that in the end Kroenke got 69% of the shares, the fat man got 29%, the British were all fucked up, and Hillwood only had 0.8% left.
Compared with the traditional British, David Dunn is considered a more enlightened group.
After chatting for a while, Sean generously told David Dunn his plan, from the acquisition of Arsenal, to the formation of a new alliance, to Murdoch's support, a new broadcast contract and so on.
David Dunn, who heard the huge plan, was full of brilliance. Arsenal was elected into a predicament. As the real executive chairman, he naturally saw everything in his eyes. In the past few years, he had thought of countless ways to restore the decline, but in the end it was on money.
Without money, nothing can be done.
Now the big money is in sight, especially when Sean promised, after the acquisition, David Dunn was the executive vice chairman of the team...
David Dunn: I surrender!
All that remains is to convince Hillwood, but David Dunn suggested that if you want to contact Hillwood in a hurry, you should first contact the leaders of the local fan organizations in London.
These fans are the true love for the club, and if they are dealt with, it is tantamount to removing all obstacles on the way to the acquisition.
At that time, Hillwood would have no choice but to sell it.
When a British billionaire becomes a shareholder of a football club, many of them are interested in its influence in the region, so it is natural to consider the wishes of the local fans.
The reason why Murdoch's acquisition of Manchester United failed was because of the opposition of the fans.
With David Dunn as the intermediary, Sean specially held a banquet two days later, specially entertaining the leaders of four ordinary Arsenal fan groups and one extreme fan group.
Before a group of people came, they were all raised eyebrows and aggressive. Everyone was discussing how to give this Yankee a serious blow!
Especially Lamar Whitman, the boss of the extreme fan organization.
Of course, there are also objections. Some people think that they can get in touch with it. Arsenal’s plight is a fact, and money is needed to change it. But apparently, the Hillwood family no longer has that much money to invest.
Just as a group of tall and thick men were making noise, a long line of extended Rolls-Royces stopped in front of them, and the group of people immediately opened their mouths in surprise and let out bursts of exclamation.
Then I saw 10 Rolls-Royces opened their doors at the same time, and a man with carefully combed hair, a tuxedo and a bow tie got out of each car and looked like a housekeeper.
Although Sean doesn't like the arrogance of the British, the British butler's set is really fucking bluffing, just looking at it has a noble and elegant taste.
Just like now, ten British butlers stood beside their respective cars, all bowing slightly as invitations, and immediately calmed down a group of strong men who had just been aggressive.
Obviously, everyone could see that this must be the rich Yankee who came to pick up their convoy, but this is too luxurious, too formal, right?
It's not that they haven't met the team chairman Hill Wood, but they were all in the club, and the scenes were normal, so there was no pressure on everyone.
But now...
In the face of those meticulous British butlers, in such a solemn atmosphere, if I behaved so rudely, it would only embarrass myself.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, knowing that this was Xiao En's intentional blow to everyone, but in other words, paying such a large amount of money is also respect, and there is really no way to get angry.
The British eat this set!
A group of tall and thick men walked towards the convoy slowly, looking at the luxury convoy, and then at their own clothes, they felt awkward all over.
It’s okay not to get in the car, but it’s even more awkward to sit in the leather seats of an extended Rolls-Royce, especially when the British butler serves them wine from the refrigerator with standard gestures.
There is a kind of rural old man who came to Beijing for the first time, and the dog pee moss on the table, the feeling of being out of place is too burning.
It took just over half an hour on the way, but when we got off the bus, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the seconds felt like years.
I thought I wouldn't be so out of place when I arrived at the hotel, but it turned out to be great...
Sean ordered the hotel to prepare the banquet with the highest standard. In order to show what it means to be rich, Sean called the Shah King and sent the tableware and decorations for the Shah royal family one day in advance.
Big dog, if you can use gold, you don’t need silver, just highlight a heroic spirit!
Using gold as jewelry, although it is indeed a bit rustic, but it is really arrogant, especially in this kind of atmosphere, it really makes a bunch of big and three thick men at a loss.
Just when the group of people were shocked and huddled subconsciously, not knowing what to do, Xiao En stepped forward and appeared in front of everyone.
With a smile on his face, he was dressed in a custom-made suit, and his every move revealed the taste of a nobleman.
Aren't the British arrogant?
Don't you call yourself a gentleman?
Don't you always put on a British aristocratic style?
Sean used this to clean them up!
David Dunn, who was walking behind Sean, came out at this time, and a group of rough guys breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their acquaintances.
"Let me introduce, this is Mr. Sean Rockefeller." David Dunn introduced to both sides with a smile, "This is the leader of the Gunner organization... this is the leader of the AFTV organization..."
Every time one was introduced, Sean would shake hands cordially. The strong men on the fan organization also forgot to give Sean a blow as they had agreed before coming here. This scene really made them uncomfortable.
Didn't the newspapers say that Xiao En has a violent personality, cruel and easy to kill, vicious and vicious?
But now it seems that this is definitely an English gentleman!
Damn, there really isn't a single truth in the newspaper!
People always like to scold the media for being deceitful, while choosing to believe...
After shaking hands with everyone and exchanging a few words, Sean didn't explain the business philosophy as soon as he came up, and he couldn't talk to these big bosses, but ordered the banquet to start.
Different from ordinary banquets, Sean organized a meal sharing system combining Chinese and Western dishes this time. Each person served a dish in front of them, and only one dish was exquisitely shaped.
A group of rough, depressed, looking at those exquisitely shaped and expensive dishes, they don't know what to say, they secretly look at each other, nothing else, just want to see how other people eat, so that they can follow suit and save themselves from embarrassment.
As a result, no one frankly did anything, and the scene was very embarrassing.
Sean held back his laughter and started to demonstrate, and a group of rough guys immediately followed suit.
The carrots were carved out for decoration, and he ate them, and dozens of people followed suit. Sean almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
It's a meal... For a British guy who eats French fries in addition to fried fish, it's really delicious, but it's too depressing to eat.
After the meal, Sean simply said that he is just a fan and invested out of his love for Arsenal. The club will be handed over to David Dunn for actual management, but he will increase investment and introduce Star players, training youth training, preparing a more professional medical system, updating stadium facilities, updating the most professional training facilities and so on.
