Li Wei seems to be touching the glass now, he can touch it, but he can't see it.Inspiration appeared in his mind, but he couldn't catch it, so he had to go to the Duke for clarification: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"Look for the Royal Bank of Scotland to put pressure on Liverpool." The Duke paused, and added: "The two Americans borrowed a large amount of money from the Royal Bank of Scotland in order to buy Liverpool, and there are still 700 million yuan left. Thirty-seven million pounds have not been repaid, and the deadline is next October, and the Bank of Scotland certainly does not want his loan to Liverpool to go to waste."

"Officially I would also put pressure on the mayor of Liverpool to speak about Liverpool's huge debts and force those two Americans to sell Liverpool."

Li Wei's eyes lit up, and he said, "I understand!"

…………

Levi called Jonathan Barnett back in and told him about his plan to acquire Liverpool.

Jonathan Barnett is worthy of being an old fritter in English football. He immediately made a strong addition: "We not only need to get through the relationship with the Royal Bank of Scotland, but also the relationship with the chairman of the Liverpool Club."

Levi is a little confused, isn't the chairman of the Liverpool club George Gillette and Tom Hicks?What relationship do I have to get through with them?

Jonathan Barnett saw Levi's expression and knew that Levi didn't know enough about Liverpool's news. He immediately said: "Although George Gillette and Tom Hicks are the owners of Liverpool, they He is just the owner, and he does not serve as the chairman of the club. The club is handed over to professional managers. The current chairman of the club is Martin Broughton. Although he is a Liverpool fan, he knows very well that if the club cannot repay its debts, it will face a crisis What a terrible thing. He will face the fate of administration, and the most terrible administration often means being fined and deducted points by the Premier League committee."

"In addition to contacting Martin Broughton, I can also try to contact the commercial director Al, who was born in Kirkdale, Merseyside, and is a diehard Liverpool fan. He used to stand in the kop stand on match days to watch Shankly's team played, and he did not hesitate to help Everton fans watch the car and earn money to buy tickets. He must be very happy to see you, Benedict, in Liverpool."

Levi said: "Very well, I will deal with the Bank of Scotland, and you will be fully responsible for Liverpool's affairs."

…………

With the help of his father, Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster, Levi soon met with the top executives of the Royal Bank of Scotland.

The conversation between the two parties was very pleasant. The Royal Bank of Scotland is not willing to take over Liverpool. They believe that no one in the bank is capable of controlling the big ship Liverpool.And if you don't take over Liverpool, what is certain is that George Gillette and Tom Hicks will definitely not be able to repay the huge debt of 700 million pounds before October next year, and the sale of Liverpool is inevitable.Therefore, the Royal Bank of Scotland is in favor of Levi's acquisition of Liverpool, and immediately cooperated actively.

Royal Bank of Scotland issued a warning to Liverpool's two American George Gillette and Tom Hicks, requiring them to find a buyer as soon as possible and complete the acquisition, otherwise they will be fined.

In addition to the pressure on the bank, the mayor of Liverpool made a speech on Liverpool's debt in public: "Liverpool Football Club is the postcard of Liverpool, but this postcard is now burdened with huge debts, which is unbelievable. !Liverpool Club must solve this problem as soon as possible!"

…………

Under the pressure of all parties, George Gillette and Tom Hicks had to make concessions on the issue of selling Liverpool, and in their view, this concession was a huge sacrifice.

They lowered Liverpool's price tag to £4.7 million.Obviously, the Americans who bought Liverpool for £[-] million just wanted to make a little money when they changed hands.

This also brought the negotiations to an impasse.

The time has come to June 23, and there are still seven days until the transfer window opens.

If the negotiation cannot be resolved before the transfer window, it will greatly affect Li Wei's transfer plan.

Jonathan Barnett found a breakthrough at this time. He persuaded Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton to let him bypass the two American owners George Gillette and Tom Hicks to sign the Liverpool club transfer agreement.

In the agreement, Levi will pay [-] million pounds as the acquisition fee.

After the news came out, the two American owners, George Gillette and Tom Hicks, were furious.

They claimed it was an illegal takeover.

However, in fact, there are 5 people on the Liverpool board of directors who have the right to vote on the acquisition (owner Hicks, owner Gillette, chairman Broughton, general manager Paslow, and commercial director Al).As long as three people vote in favor, then Martin Broughton can accept the acquisition plan on behalf of Liverpool.

There is no doubt that the club chairman Martin Broughton convinced the general manager Paslow. As for the commercial director Al, who is a Red Army fan, he is naturally on the side of Levi, or he is on the side of George Gillette and Tom Schick He has clearly realized that the two American bosses staying in Liverpool will only make his beloved club continue on the path of falling into the abyss.

However, George Gillette and Tom Hicks did not approve of the acquisition. They sued Levy and Martin Broughton and others for using "dirty" means to seize their property.

This case was also accepted by the British Supreme Court, but Levi knew very well that this case had not yet begun, and the result was already doomed.

Instead, what he needs to do now is to raise enough funds to acquire Liverpool.

Mansur readily exchanged his original promise to Levi, and although the money he lent to Levi was still [-] million, it was not the [-] million euros negotiated before, but [-] million pounds.

It's clear that Levy has brought City the double, much to the delight of Mansour.

Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, also secretly lent [-] million pounds to Levi, but in order to avoid too much family pressure on Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, Levi offered [-] million pounds. billion pounds of Apple shares as collateral.

Three days later, after a public trial in the Liverpool takeover case, which caused a sensation in Europe, the UK Supreme Court declared that George Gillette and Tom Hicks had no right to prevent the board from reaching an acquisition agreement with Levi Ventures.

But George Gillette and Tom Hicks applied for a temporary restraining order from the U.S. District Court for the District of Texas on the night of the court's announcement, preventing Liverpool's independent directors, Royal Bank of Scotland and New England Sports from completing the deal.Let this pile of acquisitions make waves again.

The British Supreme Court quickly made another trial and upheld the original sentence!
On the US side, Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, also used his own personal power, and the Texas District Court no longer accepted the petitions of George Gillette and Tom Hicks.

After many twists and turns, the acquisition was finally completed on June [-], the day before the transfer window.

It is worth mentioning that the 700 million pounds owed by Liverpool to the Royal Bank of Scotland is not counted on the Liverpool club, but on the two former Liverpool bosses George Gillette and Tom Hicks.This also reduced Liverpool's debt arrears to around 300 million pounds.
