Chapter 6 Acquisition In Progress
7. Every season, the system will formulate delivery tasks based on the funds withdrawn by the owners. After the end of the season, the system will make a settlement and complete the tasks without any penalty.It also provides a turntable withdrawal of system funds, which can also be directly used to withdraw to any football-related company under the banner of the boss, without increasing the status of profit reduction.If the task fails, the system will disappear, and the possible consequences will be borne by the owner himself.
Hearing this, Yang Ming was dumbfounded.A word came to my mind: What are these words?I can understand all the words, but how come I'm kind of looped together?Human cheating is simple and easy to operate.From then on, they will go to the pinnacle of life and marry Bai!
Why is it so complicated to come to my house?To put it bluntly, why don't you give me money and let me spend it?
Alas, there is no way.It seems that this golden finger is not very powerful.I want to give up, but I can't bear the 6000 million RMB.Plus, I had a great deal with Charlotte that I'm suddenly letting go of.Where do you want him to get 3500 million RMB?
And coach the first team!But I have never experienced it before, just thinking about it is very exciting!
Yang Ming thought, count the ball!Forget it, if you get blocked, you have the means to resist!
So, Yang Ming let go of the burden in his heart, and said straightforwardly:
"Then can I withdraw money now?"
"Yes, master. Please choose the cash you want to withdraw this time." The voice of the system in the sky was still so sentimental.
Yang Ming thought for a while, Cabot needs 3500 million RMB, which is what he needs to pay for the shares in his hand.In addition, Cabot was also promised to invest 1000 million yuan in the club to continue operations.
4500 million RMB, White.
"Withdrawals in this system can only be done in integer multiples of 2000 million RMB!"
This rule is really a bit inhumane.Can't even get a non-integer cheat?It seems that this system is not human either, so it cannot be described as humanized.What should it be?Make it sexy.
"Then I will withdraw 6000 million RMB this time, Xiaobai," Yang Ming said a little excitedly.After all, I have never seen 6000 million RMB in my previous life!
"Ding, please confirm whether to withdraw 6000 million RMB?"
Oh, and this time it's sexualized.I also know to confirm.
"confirmed"
"Ding, the withdrawal was successful. Please see Master."
I saw a large curtain suddenly dropped from the sky next to the turntable, with four large characters written on it: preview of the current situation.
Yang Ming nodded curiously, it was Ajin Guangshan.Yang Ming complained in his heart: It won't blink my eyes, right?always flashing.
Image changed: Company Name: Leicester Football Group Ltd
Legal person/sole shareholder: Yang Ming.
Available amount: 6000 million RMB.
Amount not withdrawn: 0.
Current investments: None.
Gain/Loss Status: None.
Tasks: None
Completion Status: None.
That is, plain and simple.Only then did Yang Ming breathe a sigh of relief.He said he had cash and did not say when the assignment would be issued.Otherwise, I will quit first.Maybe the system forgot, hahaha, I was so smart, I said "quit".
A pop-up prompt: The profit reduction status has not been withdrawn and cannot be withdrawn.
hey all right.Smoke, smoke, smoke, just made me understand what it takes to spend money.Yang Ming thought.
"Please master extract benefit reduction status"
As soon as the screen turned, a turntable appeared beside the curtain, which was divided into dozens of areas.
Whoops, there are pointers this time.Look again, oh, there are words in each area:
Wounded soldiers are full of battalions, Lian Po is old, staying out of things, self-sufficient, drifting with the crowd, too many monks and too little food, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and if he lags behind, he will be beaten, and his notoriety is notorious.
Yang Ming looked blank, what do you mean?are you playing with me
"The master clicks the extract button at the end of the pointer to extract".
Yang Ming clicked curiously, only to see the pointer turning crazily.After a while, he stopped on the words "If you fall behind, you will be beaten".
Yang Ming turned his head to look at the sky, and Xiaobai explained with his eyes.
Fortunately, systematization took effect at this moment.
"Ding, congratulations to the system for reaching the state of 'being beaten if you fall behind'.
If you're behind, you're beat: All clubs under the owner's banner lose a game if they fall behind randomly in five games. "
Yang Ming was dumbfounded.What's this?The most interesting thing about football games is the unpredictability, and there is a fixed law: if you work hard on the field, you will not win, if you don't work hard, you will lose!
Also, what's there to congratulate? !This is a negative state!
There is a loophole in this state, I want to report it!
Oops, isn't that so?Who do I report to?Will the police goose goose goose goose goose goose goose and take him to a mental hospital?Forget it, keep pumping!
The next four states are also drawn:
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall: During the transfer period, all clubs under the club were unable to successfully sign players.Number of activations: three times.
Self-restraint: All owner-owned clubs must score an own goal every 10 games.
After smoking the cigarette, Yang Ming's heart was already in despair. What is this?What's this?
By the way, it seems that there is a task. .
Come on, let me die!
"Ding, the debuff status extraction is complete, and the owner can exit the system at any time."
"Xiaobai, don't you have any tasks to announce?"
“After the master purchase agreement is signed, the system will automatically announce the task.”
Well, never mind, let me take my time. .
Yang Ming quickly exited the system. .
At seven o'clock in the morning on May 5th, York was cloudy.
In fact, Yang Ming was very happy when the system started to activate yesterday.After all, a golden finger is a golden finger, 6000 million yuan.
After the system rules were announced, Yang Ming was dumbfounded.Oh, the money has nothing to do with him.And then, will the system pay me based on my performance?
Is Xiao also a poor man?Yang Ming stroked, really. .
Although the hotel was inherited by the second uncle (fortunately, the second uncle is single and has no children), the actual value is around 80 RMB.The monthly net profit is only a few thousand RMB.Yang Ming's savings since graduation are only 10 RMB.
The point is what kind of bullshit task is it? This is a matter of human life.He still doesn't know what the mission is.
Yang Ming was going to celebrate, but in the end he had a simple meal at Su Qiang's house.When he got home, he had a good night's sleep with mixed feelings.
Damn, how can you sleep well with a brain?
No, Yang Ming got out of bed with two dark circles under his eyes, and quickly washed them off.
He will arrive at the York City FC offices near Walnut Street at 10am.This is yesterday's date with Charlotte at the steakhouse.Luckily, the hotel on the King's Road is a 10 minute walk to your destination.
Elizabeth made a sandwich in the morning.When she thought of her husband coming home yesterday and telling her that the matter was settled, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Good, she was thinking.In the United States, where her son is far away, because of the distance gap, Elizabeth can't care.In the eyes of her husband and son, she doesn't need to worry about her son, does she?
Most of Elizabeth's small life now revolves around her husband.Since yesterday, the dark clouds over their small home have finally drifted away. Elizabeth jumped up like an 18-year-old girl and called her husband to get up and eat. .
At 9:40, in the middle of the west side of the Baodao Stadium, the guard room.
Yang Ming came to the window of the guard room and knocked on the door.
"Hey, Charlotte, why are you here? It's not a game day." At the gate and the doorman's window, a red nose stuck out to greet him.
Henry Farnjoh was born in Yorkshire in 1950 and was born and raised.
The old man had a short, stiff mustache and brown eyes sunk in their sockets.The most characteristic is the red nose ruined by alcohol.Every time Yang Ming saw Fa Enjiao's red nose, he wanted to laugh.
"Uncle Henry, I have an appointment with Mr. Charlotte to meet him in his office at ten o'clock," Yang Ming replied respectfully.
After all, it is hard not to be respected for an old man who has dedicated more than 20 years to the club.
"Wait a minute, Charlotte. I need to confirm with Mr. Charlotte." Fa Anjue retracted his head and picked up the phone to confirm.
Less than a minute later, the red nose stuck out of the window again, and at the same time, he waved for Yang Ming to come in.
"Charlotte, come on, Mr. Charlotte is waiting."
Yang Ming waved his hand, bid farewell to Fan Jiao, and walked into the gate.
Went up to the fourth floor, came to the door of the chairman's office, and took a deep breath.
Actually, I don't blame Yang Ming for being a little nervous.In a past life, I've come here to talk about the small patronage of the West Stand, mixed with the small executive seats in the executive booth.
Turning the Yorktown club around is a big deal.Yang Ming let out another breath.
"Boom, boom" knocked on the door, and Charlotte's familiar voice came: "Please come in."
Yang Ming walked in and saw Charlotte sitting on the boss's chair, pointing to the two chairs opposite the boss's desk and smiling:
"Charlotte, please sit down."
Yang Ming pouted slightly, walked over and moved one of the chairs to the corner, and moved the other chair to the opposite of Charlotte.Xin said: What kind of psychological warfare game are you playing at this time?
In fact, Yang Ming really wronged Charlotte.Before he came, Charlotte had been sitting in a chair in a daze except for sending emails, not noticing the passage of time.
Just after Charlotte finished speaking, she suddenly froze, stood up immediately, patted her forehead a little shyly and said:
"Oh, I'm sorry, Charlotte. Just thinking about something, sit down, sit down, and I'll get someone to pour you some water."
"Isabelle, please send me two glasses of water to my office," when Charlotte pressed the button on the landline.
After a while, the sound of "da, da, da" came from all directions.Standing behind the door, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in"
Yang Ming looked inside and saw black high-heeled shoes, black silk calves, and black business attire.Well. .If you go up, Yang Ming doesn't have the courage to look at it.He just felt big and a little big. .
Turning to Charlotte, Yang Ming seemed to see the playful smile in the old guy's eyes.
"Isabel, put it on the table. I want to introduce you to Mr. Yang Ming (here does not do the inversion of his western name). He should be your new boss from China in the future. Charlotte, this beautiful The lady is our newly appointed Director of Business Development, Isabel Whelan." Charlotte stood up, motioned for Isabel to put down the glass, and introduced it to them.
Isabel looked at Yang Ming in surprise.This young man with a distinct oriental face is actually the new boss? ?
As the middle manager of the club, she certainly understands the current situation of the club very well.It was a lot of money to buy this club.Although she hasn't been with Mr. Charlotte for a long time, according to her understanding, it's not just about money.Otherwise, the club would have been sold long ago.
And this young man in front of me is capable of persuading Mr. Charlotte.There might be something that catches the eye.
This gave her a hint of curiosity.
Of course, no matter what kind of undercurrents were surging in her heart, the highly professional Isabelle still extended her right hand and smiled.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Wang."
But Yang Ming was even more surprised at this moment. Looking at Isabel's golden shoulder-length hair, high nose bridge and basket brown eyes, with a minimalist pearl necklace around her neck, she could vaguely see the fine lines around her eyes.It seems that when she was in her 40s, she must have been a beauty when she was young.That's not the point!The point is, he knows this woman!
When talking about wine sponsorship before, I didn't say that we met, but just now I said that Isabel is a newcomer.
But the previous life!Yes, in a previous life, Isabel Whelan, CEO of York City Football Club, at least in a previous life.
Yang Ming's heart fluctuated violently: Really? !The name is exactly the same, and the appearance seems to be similar!Is it true?Is it the same person? ? ?Yang Ming is not sure.
Until I saw Isabel's outstretched right hand, like a cold war.Hastily stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically:
"Ms. Whelan, nice to meet you. If all goes well, we will be colleagues in the future. You can call me by my name directly in the future."
"Yes, Mr. Charlotte. You can also call me Isabel." Isabel smiled, then turned to Charlotte. "Mr. Charlotte, if there's nothing else, I'll go out first."
"Well, remember to send an email to the heads of various departments to inform us that there will be a meeting at [-]:[-] pm. I sent the meeting topic to your email half an hour ago. You also helped me urge Robert, his efficiency is a bit slow," said Charlotte.
"Yes, Mr. Charlotte." Isabel turned and walked out of the room, closing the door.
After seeing Isabel go out, Charlotte sat back on the chair and smiled wryly at Yang Ming.
"Well, boy. When Robert brings the legal papers and the contract, this office is yours after we sign it."

Yang Ming thought for a while, Cabot needs 3500 million RMB, which is what he needs to pay for the shares in his hand.In addition, Cabot was also promised to invest 1000 million yuan in the club to continue operations.
4500 million RMB, White.
"Withdrawals in this system can only be done in integer multiples of 2000 million RMB!"
This rule is really a bit inhumane.Can't even get a non-integer cheat?It seems that this system is not human either, so it cannot be described as humanized.What should it be?Make it sexy.

Oh, and this time it's sexualized.I also know to confirm.
