This acquisition was more difficult than Levi imagined. Indonesian Cronos Sports Management Company does not have many shares and its market value is not high.

The current Leicester City is not the Premier League champion in the future, and it is not even a Premier League team. They are just a British Championship team.

After being relegated to League One in the 2001-2002 season (at that time, the second-tier league was still called League One, not the British Championship), Leicester City has never been successfully upgraded.

Therefore, in August 2010, Vichai's Thai Asian Football Investment Company acquired 8% of Leicester City's shares, and the cost was not too much, 80.00 million pounds.

Based on this price, the market value of 20.00% of the shares held by Indonesian Kronos Sports Management Company is about 970 million pounds.

The problem is that Indonesian Cronos Sports Management Company is not satisfied with the price. He knows that Levi wants to get the shares of Leicester City, and Vichai also wants to complete the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Leicester City, so he raised the price. , priced the 20.00% stake at 500 million pounds, and prepared to let the two compete.

Li Wei will not let the Indonesian Cronos Sports Management Company get his wish. He came to Leicester City this time to have a meeting with Ayawat.

Ayawat is the vice-chairman of Leicester City, and most importantly, he is the son of Vichai.Now Vichai's industrial focus is not in the UK, but in Thailand.Even in the UK, he often stays in London instead of Leicester City, and only takes a helicopter to Leicester City when he needs it.

It is said that the reason why Vichai bought Leicester City was because he saw Leicester City's home court when he took a helicopter, and it took him three to 10 minutes to decide on the acquisition of Leicester City.

The meeting was relatively successful, and Li Wei told Ayawat very frankly that he would definitely help David Smith complete the acquisition, and now malicious competition will only benefit the Indonesian Cronos Sports Management Company.

The introduction of Smith Football Investment Company seems to be detrimental to Vichai's management of Leicester City, but Smith has Levi's help behind him, which will help Smith get the support of the city government.Don't underestimate this point. The so-called bigger football clubs in foreign countries are not only a football club, but also a postcard of a city, a city's external image.

Levi is also willing to serve as a special adviser to Leicester City after Smith enters Leicester City until Leicester City is upgraded to the Premier League.

Levi's vision is well-known in football, and his coaching achievements are also well-known. Since he coached Parma, the "Levi's Law" has never been broken.

Even if this season has just started, Levi has continued his "Levi's Law" - he has already won the European Super Cup.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ayawat tends to introduce David Smith's American capital.However, Ayawat did not agree hastily. In fact, such a meeting cannot be successful in one go. He needs to ask his father Vichai for instructions.

In addition to Leicester City, Levi is also preparing to acquire Southampton.

Behind every giant, it is impossible to have only one ally.

The role of allies is not to play match-fixing, not to mention that the FA has cracked down very severely in this regard.

For example, at the end of the season, the point difference between Liverpool and the leader of the standings is very small. At this time, the opponent of the leader in the next game is Southampton or Leicester City. Levi can secretly promise them In the bonus, you can get 500 million pounds for beating the opponent, and 300 million pounds for a draw.

Even if the FA knew, it wouldn't say anything.

Because Liverpool did so, it made the Premier League more enjoyable.

Is it interesting to see a lot of games where a giant beats a relegation team?The really good games are close games.

In addition to blocking the enemy, it also increased Liverpool's voice in the Premier League.

The Premier League is run as a company, and all twenty clubs are shareholders. Each club has one vote in major rule-making and contract negotiations.

…………

The acquisition of Southampton was much easier than Levi imagined.

Southampton's parent company, Southampton Amateur Activities Holdings, is listed on the AIM secondary market of the London Stock Exchange.Southampton under him was promoted to the old English League One in 1978, and maintained the top league seat for 27 years. In 2005, they failed to relegation and were relegated to the British Championship. Later, they were detained because the club needed financial restructuring. As a result, it has further dropped to the third tier of League One, and is still in League One. However, Southampton is also regarded by the media as a favorite for promotion in the new season. Southampton is not useless in League One. Last season They defeated Carlisle United 4:1 and won the 2009-2010 season league championship.

The champion of this league championship is not the champion of the English League Cup. The league championship is different from the League Cup. His participating teams are only teams from the third to fifth levels of England (ie, League One, League Two and the League of Nations). The gold content of this championship very low.Of course, this low is only for the top league teams. At the League One level, this championship still gives Southampton a lot of points.

Due to the poor performance of the team and the death of the old chairman Marcus, the new chairman did not resist selling the club.

Marcus died in August 2010 and was replaced by his daughter Katharina Lieber, a woman who had watched Southampton only briefly before his father died A woman with football experience, a woman who still lives in Switzerland.

But Levi did not fully buy all the shares in Southampton. Katharina Lieber is smarter than he imagined, which can also be understood as reality.

She needs funds to cash out, and at the same time, she also hopes to get help and support from Levi.

The two sides hit it off, and Levi took out 500 million pounds in cash and got a 20.00% stake in Southampton.

Of course, like Leicester City, although Levi came forward, he did not hold even a single unit in Leicester City on the surface. His agent was Baldini, a close partner in Parma.

After the team passed a season, Baldini, a former courtier, was decisively cleared.Naturally, Li Wei would not turn a blind eye to Baldini, and since he really needed a suitable agent, the two sides would soon cooperate again.

Baldini, who nominally controls 20.00% of Southampton's three shares, will serve as Southampton's vice chairman and assist Katharina Lieber, a football idiot, in managing Southampton.
