Chapter 244: come to an agreement

It was at this time that William Chen finally got the news. Malcolm Glazer, the current speaker of the Glazer family, contacted William Chen, hoping to meet him and talk about Manchester United.

During this period, William Chen's acquisition of Manchester United continued unabated, and his media has been tracking and reporting Manchester United fans' criticism of the Glazer family, and introduced in detail what the Glazer family did after the acquisition of Manchester United. This made the Glazer family's reputation in the United States take a big hit.

Moreover, after William Chen made a bid for the Glazer family, he has successively acquired a number of companies including Ubisoft and Riot. Regarding William Chen's intention to acquire Manchester United, the Glazer family has not made a statement. Supporters targeted the Glazer family who did not respond, except that the more radical fan organization MUST's "Ten Deadly Sins" continued to ferment

, Before intending to raise funds to buy Manchester United from the Glazer family, the Red Knights also condemned the Glazer family for their interests.

"In contrast, we believe that Manchester United will have a better future if they are bought by William Chen. The Glazer family should stop and let Manchester United sink in. If they are really for the good of Manchester United, then they should agree immediately. William Chen's acquisition..."

Their statement was shared by many Manchester United supporters.

After all, this matter is deadlocked until now, and it is definitely not the reason for William Chen. After all, he has publicly told the media that he has prepared US$300 million for Manchester United. He hopes that after the acquisition, there will be more funds to help Manchester United get out of financial difficulties. Update Manchester United's stadium and bringing in stronger players.

"If it were me, I would not have sold Ronaldo so easily. Manchester United should not have destroyed the Great Wall. Yes, we should respect the wishes of the players, but only if you give them enough treatment and opportunities."

Chen William said so at the time, which also earned him the favor of the club's players.

It seems that now, the Glazer family has taken the initiative to have a dialogue with him. In addition to the increasing pressure of public opinion, they have realized that if they continue to maintain such a stalemate, I am afraid that it will ruin their image in the United States. They also told William Chen to give them to them. small gifts are related.

The Glazer family currently lives in Florida, on the east coast of the United States, so William Chen flew from the west coast to the east coast, with him and the Hilton sisters returning from France.

Now Hc fashion company's brand stores are selling well. ParisHiltong's products are mainly mid-range, and are welcomed by many young people in the context of the economic crisis. Now the brand stores have been deployed in more than 20 states in the United States and are continuing to expand.

And this time in France, the Hilton sisters have not put down their work. They have reached cooperation with some brands, such as Hermes perfume, which will soon enter the brand store for sales.

In addition, she also inspected the European market, and has plans to open brand stores in Europe. The first phase is planned to be the brand flagship stores in London and Paris.

"In addition to Europe, the Asian market cannot be ignored. Entering the Asian market, you can enter the Asian market through the acquisition of some local brands by fashion groups, such as some well-known brands in China, Japan and South Korea,

After the acquisition, as a sub-brand of HC Group, it will be easier to enter these markets. "

William Chen suggested this to Paris. Yes, the HC fashion company has become the HC fashion group, with the Hilton sister companies and Hermès companies. After continuing acquisitions in the future, there will be more brands to join.

After arriving at the Glazer family, William Chen met Malcolm Glazer. Malcolm was 2 years old and his physical condition did not look so good. After seeing William Chen, he first protested with some dissatisfaction:

"William, it's nice to meet you, although we haven't reached an agreement on Manchester United, but I don't want your people to contact Zuel Decker and the others."

The name Zuel Decker, William Chen knows, is still through the report of Goldman Sachs. This person is the second largest shareholder of Zapata.

Zapata company, currently one of the core businesses of the Glazer family, was founded by the former American commander George W. Bush, initially operating in the oil and gas business, and after being acquired by Malcolm Glazer, successfully Change it to fish products and Caribbean supermarket.

Under the current subprime mortgage crisis, the financial situation of the Glazer family is not good, so Zuel Decker, who is the second shareholder of the company, will inevitably have the idea of ​​replacing it. After it provides financing, there will be some, after all, his relationship with the Glazer family is not so harmonious.

Therefore, Malcolm's dissatisfaction at this time stems from the intervention of Goldman Sachs in the current struggle of his company. He knows that William Chen is the major shareholder of Goldman Sachs. Comb was easy to see.

"Mr. Glazer, regarding commercial competition, we have always followed the rules, so many actions should not be interfered with. And I have been trying to talk to you about Manchester United for a few years, and I can only say that I do not understand other things. "

William Chen's meaning is very clear. The key to everything is Manchester United. If the Glazer family continues to try to stick to Manchester United to raise the price, then William Chen will naturally not need to ask about other things, and the consequences have nothing to do with him.

"For Manchester United, we have a series of plans that will take this team out of trouble, but it's you, Willian, you've been agitating against the fans and the club."

Speaking of Manchester United, it seems that the Glazer family has really been under a lot of pressure recently, Malcolm said resentfully.

"But as far as I know, Mr. Glazer, it seems that Manchester United's predicament was originally brought about by you. Of course, I have not interfered too much in Manchester United's internal affairs at the moment, but as a Manchester United fan,

When necessary, I will fund the other party to hire the best auditor to investigate their finances to see if someone is stealing from Manchester United. Even if this kind of behavior is legally permissible, I am afraid there will be no positive moral evaluation. "

This is already a certain threat. If you continue to hold on, not only in the United States your business may be taken away, but Manchester United, once it is found that the Glazer family has misappropriated funds for their own use, will face surging pressure from public opinion. .

Malcolm has deeply felt since William Chen took a fancy to Manchester United and proposed an acquisition. He is different from those fan organizations who want to buy Manchester United, the rich people in the Middle East or Asia... As William Chen who has great energy in the United States , Compared with him, the Glazer family does not have much resistance at all.

Once the other party is serious, there are endless means that the Glazer family can't resist at this time, so Malcolm finally sighed and said: "William You win, I will agree to sell Manchester United , provided you withdraw those means. Plus, we're not going to accept $1.2 billion, which is too low."

"My goal is only Manchester United, and I have no interest in others. You should understand this, Mr. Glazer." William Chen said with a smile: "As for the price, I can give a slight premium, but I hope you are also rational. Too high a price is not so easy to get, and you don't want the Glazers to be disgraceful in Manchester United's history."

"I'm too old, and I don't care about specific things anymore. Let Avram talk to you about the next things, William, we shouldn't be enemies."

"That's what I think too, Mr. Glazer."

There have been rumors that Malcolm himself is not very interested in football. The reason why he bought Manchester United is mainly because of the shareholders of his two sons, who are football fans, but now it seems that Malcolm will eventually take Manchester United. Running a business.

But now that he has let go, there is no need for William Chen to participate in the next negotiation. His purpose of coming to Florida this time has been achieved, and the team of Goldman Sachs will take care of it later. They are professional negotiators. of. In the end, the Glazer family reached an agreement with the Meta Group to sell Manchester United for $1.4 billion. After the handover, William Chen became the owner of the club.
