Chapter 138 Gold Rush Trip

In the imperial capital, they stayed the longest.Firstly, when I first arrived here, I had to have a stage of adapting to the jet lag and the environment.Secondly, there are many invitations for TV or other interviews.

And when they went south to Shanghai and finally Hong Kong, their itinerary was basically the same.

Playing commercial games, meeting many fans, selling all kinds of jerseys, scarves and other peripherals.

Although the income from items sold in the signing club along this road has nothing to do with the store operated by Shao Bo, many fans still choose to go to the store to shop before the signing meeting starts or after they leave.The associated follow-up effect also made the glorious Shao Bo look at this month's report with satisfaction.

The Arsenal team logo at this time was not the one that Shao Bo was used to later, it was a bit complicated and fancy.It's just that the change of the team logo is not what Shao Bo can do now.

Even back then, when Arsenal wanted to change the image of the team logo, it was after passing through the new century and achieving many remarkable achievements.

Even so, the reform of the team logo still caused dissatisfaction among many fans, who angrily accused the club of abandoning the team's traditions.

However, the team logo that was more concise and more suitable for promoting the club's image did have some problems.For example, the two blue fringes have nothing to do with Arsenal's tradition.

This kind of reform that is conducive to the globalization of the club's image must be done, but it needs to wait for Shao Bo to succeed in the acquisition in the future.

The huge influence of the Premier League has attracted many foreign investors. The American Serbian industrialist acquired Portsmouth, which has a long tradition, in his hands.And a rich man from Egypt is preparing to acquire a D-level club in London, Fulham.

This wave of foreign acquisitions has gradually emerged, and the stock prices of major clubs have also begun to rise accordingly.What Shao Bo can do is to take advantage of the present to acquire the shares held by small and medium shareholders as soon as possible.

Although Arsenal can be regarded as a relatively conservative club in England, they are somewhat resistant to the injection of foreign capital.But Shao Bo is now considered an Englishman, and his acquisition will not be regarded as an invasion of foreign capital.

In addition, in order to avoid attracting the attention of others, Shao Bo has always conducted these acquisitions only through the foundation.Through complex operations, the ownership of these shares was transferred to Shao Bo.

Therefore, those who attend the shareholders' meeting every year are just puppets pushed on the table by a foundation.

What Shao Bo owns now is more of the pre-emption rights of other shareholders.After all, his own career is also on the rise, and his demand for funds is not small at all.

Shao Bo actually owns only about [-]% of the shares, but through some binding contracts, as long as Shao Bo wants, he can successfully purchase about [-]% of the club's shares overnight.

Counting the [-]% of the shares in his hands, Shao Bo can now rely on [-]% of the shares to join the board of directors at any time, and even rely on his status as the largest shareholder to run for the chairman of the club.

It's just that these are unnecessary, and the remaining 6% of the shares basically fall into the hands of a few people.Once Shao Bo buys any one, he will own more than half of the shares, so he has to come forward.

The current self is not ready to appear in the spotlight, at least, the current coaching status is enough.The team's assets are still rising slowly, and future acquisitions will cost more money, but Shao Bo doesn't care.

Before the arrival of the new century, all he has to do is to hide his strength and bide his time, waiting for the opportunity to buy the club in one fell swoop!

The gold rush trip is indeed a gold rush, and the price of 100 million pounds per game is naturally not comparable to that of Real Madrid who visited China a few years ago.

But the subsequent sales of various peripherals, interviews, auctions of shooting rights, and the most important expansion of influence all made David Dane smile.

At least, the number of seats at Highbury is still too small, and Arsenal, which has only the average capacity of Old Trafford, can only increase revenue in disguise by raising ticket prices.

It's just that, Arsenal's financial income can't compete with Manchester United.

Looking at the Workers' Stadium and several other giant stadiums in China, David Dane also felt a sense of envy in his heart.

hateful!If Arsenal has such a huge stadium, why bother thinking of so many tricks to make money?

Shao Bo naturally wants to continue to buy players to strengthen the lineup, but Arsenal, which is building a training base, really has no money.

The first phase of Kearney's project is expected to be completed this year. At that time, at least the members of the first team will be the first to enjoy the wonderful enjoyment brought by various high-tech.

The consequence of the advanced and comfortable training base is that this summer, Arsenal basically has no money to supplement.Unless Shao Bo chooses to sell certain players and use the funds to carry out his own transfer operations.

Shao Bo believes that if it is two years later, he will definitely choose such an approach without hesitation.Cultivate goblins and sell players who are about to pass their prime.Use this money to replenish the club's finances, and then collect Luo Xiaoyao.

It's a pity that the current Arsenal lineup is too weak. Without anyone, Shao Bo feels that the next game will be very dangerous.

Ian Wright already had intentions of leaving.

As he is getting older, he is different from other defensive teammates.The speed that he was proud of in the past is no longer there. Although his experience is more sophisticated, his body can no longer keep up.

This can be seen from his season goals in the past two years.The previous season was majestic and almost won the league golden boot, but at least he scored 30+ goals in the league.By the second season, the number of goals had shrunk to half that of the previous year.

Ian Wright has already thought about returning to the previous Crystal Palace team for retirement, and he will retire in two years.

It's just that Shao Bo, who heard about this, quickly stopped him. After a long talk, Ian Wright agreed to Shao Bo, and he would continue to play for the team for another season.After that, whether to retire directly or go to other teams to retire is up to him.

The aging of the team is inevitable, and it is impossible for this group of people to sell for a good price.Why give up a loyal and familiar player for millions of pounds?

Moreover, not only Ian Wright, but under Shao Bo's persuasion, several players also agreed to work hard for the club for another season.

These old people want to retire, but before leaving, Shao Bo still hopes that they can pass on their experience and spirit to the young players through precepts and deeds.

Although there is basically no reinforcement this summer, Shao Bo also believes that relying on this group of players who cooperate more tacitly and are more familiar with each other may not necessarily reduce their competitiveness.

BJ, Shanghai, Hong Kong, within two weeks, Arsenal and his team traveled across most of China.Because Hong Kong has been a British colony for a long time, they watch the Premier League much earlier than the mainland.

For Arsenal's visit, Hong Kong fans are more enthusiastic.

Unfortunately, there is no Shaobo store here.After all, the agreement he signed with Arsenal only includes mainland China.

After a few more hot days here, Shao Bo felt that he was a little tanned.The long-distance passenger plane departs from Hong Kong and arrives in London directly.

At least, the weather in London is still cool right now.Back at Islington's home, Shao Bo lay on the bed and didn't want to move.Although the journey was pleasant, after returning home, exhaustion emerged from the bones.

The players also had a good rest for two days, and then they will start the pre-match training and friendly match trials again.

After returning to London, Arsenal's first domestic friendly was against Chelsea, their London derby rival.

Although the two teams belong to the city of London, the competition is not too fierce because of the distance.And because of the many exchanges in recent years, the relationship is not bad.

This time, Arsenal, who returned to the UK, first regarded Chelsea as their competitor. Apart from the good relationship between the two teams, the most important reason was that this was a farewell match for Zola.

Zola, who has decided to leave Arsenal, has not had time to say goodbye to his teammates who have been together for two years.This farewell game is also an official announcement that Zola will join Chelsea.

Although they will continue to meet in the city of London, when they meet again, they can only be opponents rather than teammates.

Naturally, the friendly matches at this time cannot be compared with the commercial competitions in China.Whether it is substitutions or others, there are strict regulations and restrictions.

But now Shao Bo doesn't care about the running-in of the lineup, he wants to test the quality of these little monsters more.The team is basically old people, and there will not be any big changes in the formation. Where does it need to be adjusted?
But for these little monsters, although Shao Bo knew that they had made great achievements.But in different growth environments, the same person may achieve different achievements.

Now Shao Bo needs to know what level their current level has reached, and what improvements Shao Bo needs to make.

Even though he lost the game, Shao Bo was still very happy. The strength of these little demons is very good, even if they are directly used as usual substitutes now, it is enough.

The score was finally locked at 3:2, Chelsea's home court, they scored ahead.

Zola scored a goal in the game, but did not celebrate.

Although this veteran who usually doesn't talk much has a low sense of presence, once he leaves, Shao Bo also feels a little uncomfortable.Shao Bo, who was not used to coming and going, suddenly felt that professional football was not so interesting anymore.

Sending off veterans, there are also newcomers.

Henry's performance was remarkable, but this alone gave Shao Bo some comfort.

Training and competitions, every team is preparing for the new season. Ferguson, who bought several players this year, is also determined to make a comeback and vows to regain the league championship!
