Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 843 Successful Acquisition of Manchester United

The acquisition of Walmart has been finalized, and Lu Shaohua no longer needs to worry about what happens next. He can only wait for the result. Of course, Lu Shaohua still has a backup plan, and that backup plan is nothing more than the use of force to resolve the issue.

Solving the problem by force is the worst option, and Lu Shaohua will not use it easily. He will only use it when the situation becomes critical. Using force to force the Walton family members to sell their shares, well, it seems a bit of an exaggeration on the surface, but people who know Lu Shaohua will not think so. Instead, they will think that Lu Shaohua will do anything to achieve his goal, regardless of the details.

Indeed, Lu Shaohua would not hesitate to use extreme means for Wal-Mart, which shows that Lu Shaohua is determined to acquire Wal-Mart Group and will not allow any loss. Lu Shaohua has already deployed troops and is preparing to acquire Wal-Mart Group.

Fortunately, Lu Shaohua had previously implemented two major futures plans for oil and gold, which was able to support the future development of Phoenix Group. Yes, according to Li Yunqing's report, a total of three transactions were made during this period, one for oil futures and two for gold futures. The results were also very significant, and a total of nearly 500 million US dollars was earned in three transactions.

Five hundred million US dollars. This number does not seem like much to Lu Shaohua, but if other financial companies knew about it, they would probably go crazy. It has only been a short period of time, and the net profit has reached five hundred million US dollars.

That's pure profit, what's left after deducting everything, including the commissions of Liu Mingzhang and others and all expenses. It's pure income, real wealth that flows into the account of Phoenix Group.

Five hundred million US dollars may seem like a drop in the bucket, not even enough for Lu Shaohua to buy Manchester United. But the time is short, and Lu Shaohua is unlikely to spend as lavishly as he did during this period. Phoenix Group also has the original 300 billion US dollars in liquidity, so there will be no problem in supporting it.

Capital chain. What Lu Shaohua is maintaining is the capital chain issue. He prevents Phoenix Group from having a funding gap. Only in this way can he be invincible and allow Phoenix Group to develop steadily without any signs that hinder its development.

In fact, long before this, Lu Shaohua had secretly calculated the accounts for Phoenix Group. The money earned from the two major futures of oil and gold, plus the little money earned from African minerals, should be able to earn more than 800 million US dollars in a month.

Eight hundred million dollars a month, nearly ten billion dollars a year, plus the money earned from Phoenix Group's products, Phoenix Group's annual turnover will reach more than fifty billion dollars. This is still a conservative estimate, if sales increase dramatically, this amount will be rewritten.

Well, there is an additional income that has not been included, and this additional income is the agency fee. Phoenix Group charges fees for distributing its products to others. There are no less than ten products and dozens of European and American countries. The agency fee for a year will exceed one billion US dollars.

Of course, where there is income there are bound to be expenses, but for Phoenix Group, the expenses are a drop in the bucket and are nothing at all. After deducting the cost, the remaining net profit is still very considerable.

As for Shenzhen, Lu Shaohua did not make any plans for it. The reason was very simple. After deducting the costs and expenses, the remaining money from the various incomes in Shenzhen would be allocated to network construction, and not a single cent would be taken out.

It can be said that Shenzhen almost produces all its own products and invests the money it makes into other businesses, allowing the Internet to develop rapidly and building the Internet kingdom in Lu Shaohua's mind.

All in all, Lu Shaohua's idea is very simple, that is, Shenzhen will produce and supply its own products, while Hong Kong will rely on income from various sources and huge amounts of money made in the financial market to support its development and maintain a stable state, while also gradually implementing Lu Shaohua's plan.

……

It has to be said that the people who can enter the Phoenix Group are not simple and are extremely efficient. Within a few days, the plans arranged by Lu Shaohua were carried out one after another, but it was a pity for Lu Shaohua.

Why do you say that?

Lu Shaohua chose to participate this time. Although he did not participate in all aspects, some important matters still required his consent. Because of this, Lu Shaohua had to go to the office every day to deal with documents, which made Lu Shaohua unable to escape from the sea of ​​documents.

Originally, Lu Shaohua thought that he could relax after Qin Sichen returned to Hong Kong. However, he never expected that he would still be unable to stop dealing with the naming of files.

"It's the time and the fate." Lu Shaohua sighed.

……

Time passed by unknowingly, and soon a week had passed. Lu Shaohua was still the same as usual. He got up in the morning, relaxed at home for a while, and went to the company to deal with some things at ten o'clock. Sometimes he held a small meeting, then went home for lunch, took a nap, and went to work at three o'clock in the afternoon.

At ten o'clock in the morning that day, Lu Shaohua had just arrived at the door of his office. Before he opened the door, the cell phone in his pocket rang. Lu Shaohua not only stopped but also took out the cell phone from his pocket. He took a look and found that it was Xiang Huaqiang calling. Lu Shaohua then picked up the phone.

Xiang Huaqiang called Lu Shaohua for no other reason than the casino matter. He informed Lu Shaohua that the He family had agreed to inject capital into Lu Shaohua and give Lu Shaohua 10% of the shares. Lu Shaohua only needed to write a check and sign a contract, and then Lu Shaohua would have 10% of the shares in the newly opened casino.

Lu Shaohua naturally agreed, but he couldn't spare the time to go to Macau, so he could only ask Xiang Huaqiang, the middleman, to arrange for the contract to be sent to Hong Kong and signed there.

Xiang Huaqiang also agreed, and then chatted with Lu Shaohua for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shaohua showed no expression at all, as if nothing had happened.

Indeed, for Lu Shaohua, investing in the casino was just a hobby, and he also wanted to get to know the people from the He family in Macau. As for whether it made money or not, Lu Shaohua didn't care at all. The reason was simple: no matter how much money the casino made, it was just a small amount for Lu Shaohua.

Shaking his head without thinking too much, Lu Shaohua pushed open the door of the office. After asking the temporary secretary outside the door to pour him a cup of tea, Lu Shaohua walked into the office.

Sitting on the sofa, he leisurely smoked a cigarette, drank the tea brought by the secretary, and tried to cheer himself up. Then Lu Shaohua walked to the boss chair, sat down, picked up a pen and began to process the documents in the office.

An hour passed...

Before he knew it, an hour had passed. Since there were fewer documents today, Lu Shaohua had already finished processing them, which meant that there was nothing to do in the morning. He then got up, sat on the sofa, and started smoking again.

However, when Lu Shaohua just sat down, his cell phone rang again. This time it was Qin Sichen who called. Lu Shaohua did not hesitate and directly pressed the answer button and said, "Wife, what's the matter?"

Qin Sichen knew that Lu Shaohua was on the 30th floor of the Phoenix Building. If Qin Sichen had nothing to do, she would come up and sit for a while. If she had something to do, she would call Lu Shaohua.

The call now meant that there was something going on, and it was official business, so Lu Shaohua asked what it was right away.

"Good news, good news." Qin Sichen on the other end of the phone seemed very happy, and after a pause he said, "I just received a call from the UK. The two big bosses of Manchester United have signed a contract to sell their shares. Now Manchester United Club belongs to you."

"Really?" Lu Shaohua asked excitedly.

"Better than Jin Huanzhen." Qin Sichen paused for a few seconds before continuing. "Oh... Actually, it doesn't belong to you yet, because Manchester United is a listed company. You are only the largest shareholder. Of course, as long as the number of shareholders reaches a certain amount, you have the right to launch a compulsory acquisition."

Lu Shaohua knew something about Manchester United in his previous life. When the Glazer family acquired Manchester United, they first acquired a certain number of shares and then launched a compulsory acquisition. Afterwards, they withdrew Manchester United from the stock market, making it completely private property.

Now that Lu Shaohua has acquired a certain amount, it is time to launch a compulsory acquisition. What to do next depends on Lu Shaohua. "Let them stabilize first, let me think about it before taking action."

Although Lu Shaohua was excited, he did not lose his composure, nor could he lose his composure, because Lu Shaohua knew that when the Glazer family acquired Manchester United, there was a big commotion. Now that he had acquired the company, if he was not careful, Lu Shaohua might follow in the footsteps of the Glazer family.

Promises must be made to Manchester United fans, real promises, only then can the team be stabilized and no accidents happen.

But what kind of promise should be made?

Ticket prices are a necessary part of the equation. Promising that ticket prices will not increase will give fans real benefits.

Investing money in buying players is a necessary commitment because football is like this, especially football which is becoming more and more commercialized. If you don't invest money in buying players, the team's performance will definitely decline and the fans will be unhappy.

What else is needed?

Well, the team also needs to stabilize internally and give the players some benefits, otherwise it will be bad if the team falls apart. However, it is not even halfway through the season yet, so it is obviously not the right time to talk about contracts, so we can put it aside for now.

Yes, the key is to calm the fans down first.

With a plan in mind, Lu Shaohua did not hesitate and told Qin Sichen his idea, asking Qin Sichen to notify the staff in the UK to make these two promises first and then discuss other things.

Qin Sichen also wrote them down one by one and said that he would pass Lu Shaohua's words to the UK.

"Okay, then you should do it as soon as possible. I may go to the UK in a few days." Lu Shaohua hung up the phone after saying this.

Happy and excited, this is what Lu Shaohua is feeling at the moment. Indeed, Manchester United is now his, how can he not be happy and excited?

"Hehe..." Lu Shaohua laughed to himself and muttered, "It seems that the memories of my previous life will come in handy again."
