I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 2 Chelsea takes advantage of others' misfortune
Israeli agent Pini Zahavi is well-known in European football.

Over the years, he has moved between many clubs.

Until he met the Russian billionaire Abramovich.

The Russian tycoon seeks fame and wants to use the Premier League and football to help him integrate into the British upper class.

Pini Zahavi has tailored a plan for him to help him build a Premier League giant that is no less than the Galacticos Real Madrid.

However, neither the Stamford Bridge Stadium located southwest of Hyde Park nor the "broken warehouse" training ground located north of Heathrow Airport are incompatible with the planned super giants.

Abramovich is not short of money. He plans to buy land in the southern suburbs and build a five-star training base.

A new stadium is naturally on the agenda.

This "unfinished" project north of Hyde Park immediately caught Chelsea's attention.

Most importantly, it is very close to Stamford Bridge.

The straight-line distance is 4 kilometers.

With Abramovich completing his acquisition of Chelsea, the next step is bound to be a large-scale recruitment of players.

This is a great time for Pini Zahavi to shine.

Before that, he hoped to demonstrate his ability and talent to the Russians by acquiring the land of this bankrupt lower-level club.

So, when they arrived at Bayswater Chinese, as soon as the two sides sat down, before Lin Zhongqiu even named his asking price, Pini Zahavi gave his psychological price very strongly.

500 pounds.

Hit a fracture!
At first, Lin Zhongqiu thought that the other party was returning the money.

But gradually, Pini Zahavi had no intention of giving in, and looked like he had the Chinese in Bayswater in his grasp.

"I have inquired about your current financial situation. You have a funding gap of at least one million pounds and you urgently need this money to solve your urgent needs."

"And now, we are the only ones who can help you through this crisis."

After Pini Zahavi finished speaking, he winked at Cash Harris beside him.

Cash Harris is a football trader in the City of London. He is involved in everything from club buying and selling to the financial management of player transactions.

When Yang Jianguo came to London to acquire the club, it was he who helped to make the connections.

But Abramovich's thigh is thicker and stronger.

"Lin, I have to remind you that there are no banks or institutions in the financial city willing to lend you money anymore. You don't have much time left." Cash Harris reminded with a chuckle.

Lin Zhongqiu's face looked very ugly.

The wall fell and everyone pushed.

When Yang Jianguo left, he had already anticipated such a situation and had even prepared for the worst.

Selling the land for 500 million pounds is not enough to pay off the debt, not to mention that everything that the Chinese have invested in Bayswater over the years will be gone.

This club may be over.

On the contrary, Chelsea got a huge bargain for nothing.

But what can be done?
The situation is better than people.

Lin Zhongqiu raised his head somewhat dejectedly, and just as he was about to speak, a hand suddenly reached out from under the table.

Very powerful and determined.

Yang Cheng reached out and held Lin Zhongqiu to stop him from speaking again, and he looked at Pini Zahavi and Cash Harris with a smile.

He had dealt with these two cunning guys many times in his previous life.

Especially Pini Zahavi.

Yang Cheng really dislikes this cunning agent.

"The price of £500 million is too low and far from our psychological price. We need to reconsider it."

Pini Zahavi and Cash Harris looked at each other, both surprised.

I just saw that the middle-aged man was about to give in, why did he suddenly intervene?
"Of course, Mr. Yang, this is a serious matter, and it is right to consider it carefully."

Cash Harris responded with a hypocritical smile, "But I still say that time to save lives is very precious."

"We know what we are doing." Yang Cheng nodded confidently.

This immediately left Cash Harris and Pini Zahavi confused.

But now that it has come to this, the negotiations can only be put on hold for the time being.

After going out the door, Pini Zahavi turned back and looked at Yang Cheng from a distance.

"Young people don't know their place. There will be a time when they will bow their heads and beg for mercy."

Cash Harris nodded. "They have already borrowed all the money they can. They can't escape this time. They can wait two more days."

……

After the two left, only Yang Cheng and Lin Zhongqiu, who looked extremely anxious, were left in the office.

"Acheng, 1000 million pounds is our psychological price, but 500 million pounds is also within our acceptable range. We are in urgent need of this money. This is also the task your father gave me when he left."

Lin Zhongqiu is loyal to Yang Jianguo, otherwise he would not have been left behind to deal with this matter.

It is clear that this club can no longer be saved and bankruptcy is inevitable.

The only thing we can do is to try to avoid the impact on the domestic market.

Abandon the car to save the handsome man.

"Uncle Lin, I know we really need this money, but please believe me, there must be other ways."

"What else can we do?" Lin Zhongqiu was anxious.

Saving a life is like putting out a fire.

Every day of delay means an additional day of risk.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

“Then what did you do just now…” Lin Zhongqiu became even more anxious.

"Uncle Lin, I know what you're worried about. They just showed that they were going to take advantage of our misfortune. We don't need to rush. Let's use up two days of their time first. You can buy more time for the club. I will definitely be able to think of a solution."

After a pause, Yang Cheng added: "Hurry up and deal with it in the next two days. Cut off our business with the domestic business to avoid affecting the domestic market."

"Don't worry, we are already doing it."

"Okay, wait for me for two more days."

After saying that, Yang Cheng also left the meeting room.

After watching Yang Cheng leave, Lin Zhongqiu was still restless, feeling that this matter was unreliable.

He immediately returned to the office and called China to report the latest progress to Yang Jianguo. "Did Ah Cheng really say that?" Yang Jianguo laughed out loud instead of being anxious on the phone.

Lin Zhongqiu could tell that the boss' tone sounded a little surprised, and there was even more relief in his laughter.

"Yes, but I always feel that it's dangerous to do this. Ah Cheng just graduated and doesn't know anything. I'm afraid..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

Yang Jianguo interrupted him directly on the phone.

"Lao Lin, you are just too cautious."

"Let's stick to the original plan. I'm also prepared. The worst that can happen is that we'll lose all our investment over the past few years. I don't think this guy can come up with any good ideas."

"Just give him some practice."

In Yang Jianguo's mind, the business in the UK is dead.

Just think of it as a valuable bankruptcy experience for your only son.

When doing business, how can you only make profits without losses?

As long as Yang Cheng can learn something and get training from this incident, it will be worth it.

The money is gone, you can make it again.

There is only one successor.

……

After Yang Cheng returned to the office, he immediately started to get busy.

He first looked through the club's financial analysis and knew that the club now needed to come up with at least 100 million pounds to resolve the urgent problem.

But the Bayswater Chinese have mortgaged everything they can.

As a club in the third-tier league, no bank is willing to lend money to it anymore.

Yang Cheng had experienced many similar things in his previous life, and even the financial operations of some clubs amazed him.

What he wants to do now is to find a way to rescue the Chinese in Bayswater.

After sorting out the information, I had a general understanding of the situation of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Yang Cheng then searched around the office and found a large stack of business cards.

I glanced at the business cards one by one.

But his expression was very focused.

He didn't even notice that Lin Zhongqiu stopped for a moment at his open door.

Soon, he selected a few of the business cards.

Sitting back at his desk, he called each of the contacts listed on the business cards one by one.

These business cards basically belong to business managers of some banks or institutions.

On the phone, Yang Cheng mainly consulted about their business types and scope.

By the time he had finished calling all the numbers on the business cards, it had already darkened outside.

Everything that happened today made Lin Zhongqiu feel very strange.

Even, full of surprise.

Yang Cheng is so different from usual.

In the past, Yang Cheng was polite in his dealings with others, but he had no opinions of his own and was not very sharp.

Even a little timid.

But today is different.

Especially at the critical moment, he reached out and pressed Lin Zhongqiu.

Looking back, Lin Zhongqiu vaguely saw the shadow of Yang Jianguo when he started his business.

Lin Zhongqiu passed by Yang Cheng's office several times but still couldn't figure out what he was busy with.

After Yang Cheng finally finished his work, Lin Zhongqiu knocked on the door and came in.

"Uncle Lin, you're here just in time."

Yang Cheng stood up from his office chair. "Please help me organize some materials, from the financial status of our club to the operating conditions, and also including our land. Print a few more copies."

"You are..." Lin Zhongqiu was confused.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "I talked to a few managers from the Financial City this afternoon. They are all very interested in our land. I plan to meet with them tomorrow morning."

"It's useless, Ah Cheng. We have already mortgaged this land."

"I know, but I can always find the money." Yang Cheng said confidently.

In 2003, capital operations in European football were not as sophisticated as they will be in the future.

Yang Jianguo and Lin Zhongqiu, who came from China, naturally didn't know some of the tricks involved.

As long as there is value, there will be capital interested in it.

Even companies like Bayswater Chinese are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Moreover, even if the other party is not interested, Yang Cheng has ways to create interest for them.

"Don't worry, Uncle Lin, trust me, just get ready quickly." Yang Cheng urged.

Lin Zhongqiu was confused, but Yang Jianguo had told him before that this time Yang Cheng would be allowed to do what he wanted, so he could only try his best to cooperate.

What he didn't know was that after watching Lin Zhongqiu leave, Yang Cheng pulled out the top one from among the many business cards.

ELVINO ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED.

Bankruptcy Business Manager.

Chris Hunter.

In the City of London, where giants gather, this company is inconspicuous, but it is enough.

This person originally approached Bayswater Chinese because he saw the potential value of the land and hoped to help Bayswater Chinese with bankruptcy reorganization.

After a brief conversation, Yang Cheng felt that he might be interested in his proposal.

You want me to go bankrupt, so I'll step on you to get across the bridge.

We were all very happy.
