Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 850 Signing Ronaldinho

[***: Xiao Meng's mother is in the hospital, and her health may be a little unstable recently. There may be a break in the update. If there is a break, I hope you guys can understand. Of course, Xiao Meng will try her best to keep updating. ]

It is foreseeable that there will be people who oppose Lu Shaohua's withdrawal of Manchester United from the stock market, and there will be many people who oppose it, because withdrawing from the stock market means that Manchester United will become Lu Shaohua's private property, which is unacceptable to many Manchester United's diehard fans, and it is also unacceptable to those who own Manchester United shares.

However, Lu Shaohua was certain of one thing, that those who opposed were not the majority, but only a small part. Compared to those fans who could not afford the high ticket prices for Manchester United's home games, that part of the opposing people was just a drop in the ocean.

And Lu Shaohua's desire to lower the ticket prices means that many people will be able to afford them, even ordinary people. So does it mean that ordinary people will support Lu Shaohua?

The answer is obvious. Many people will support Lu Shaohua's approach because the idea of ​​ordinary people is too simple. They just want to be able to enter the stadium to cheer for their team, especially at home. In the past, they could not afford the high ticket prices and could only cheer on TV. If the ticket prices are lowered, they will be able to enter the scene, which is undoubtedly a great thing for them.

Containment. That's right. The strategy adopted by Lu Shaohua is to contain. He uses the majority of civilians to contain those die-hard fans and those who own shares in Manchester United and oppose the team. When there are fewer voices of opposition and more voices of support, Lu Shaohua's plan will be a perfect success.

Taking Manchester United out of the stock market, reducing ticket prices, and giving Ferguson a check for $100 million undoubtedly pushed Lu Shaohua's reputation to the top. Lu Shaohua had reason to believe that this evolution would bring Lu Shaohua a successful acquisition of Manchester United and complete the acquisition without much trouble.

More importantly, Lu Shaohua did not stop when announcing the two decisions, but continued to release a bombshell. "Haha...Today was originally a press conference, but the nature of it has changed from the beginning. Yes, it is because of your questions that the press conference has become a question-and-answer session. But it doesn't matter. Asking questions and releasing news are the same. The purpose is to be about Manchester United."

At this point, Lu Shaohua smiled and glanced at the reporters below. Without waiting for any reporter to speak, Lu Shaohua continued, "In the next season, I will invest a sum of money in youth training. Although Manchester United's youth training is already very good, I think there is still room for improvement. Yes, my goal is to improve it to the extreme and make youth training the best."

"In addition, if possible, Manchester United will also buy some top football stars. Of course, the players have the right to choose. As long as they are willing to come to Manchester United, I will write a check." At this point, Lu Shaohua deliberately paused for a while, and then continued. "But I want to emphasize that buying players, whether it is buying top stars or anything else, must be useful to Manchester United's current lineup. If they are useless, they will not be bought. Haha, I will waste that money and ruin the reputation of other people's top stars."

Lu Shaohua made a small joke at the end, but wasn't he also explaining one thing, that is, when buying players, no matter if they are top superstars or first-class stars, they must be useful to Manchester United's lineup, otherwise Lu Shaohua would not buy them.

In addition, Lu Shaohua also revealed a message in his words, that is, the players he bought would be based on Ferguson's requirements. Just kidding, he is the head coach, and Ferguson knows best what type of players the team needs, and Lu Shaohua has already stated that the players he buys must be useful to Bangkok United's current lineup.

Since it is going to be useful to the current lineup, it also means that Ferguson has the power to make decisions. Lu Shaohua will get Ferguson's consent when buying players, which undoubtedly gives Ferguson a huge face.

But the fact is, Lu Shaohua is too lazy to care about Manchester United's situation, nor is it that he doesn't care about the results, but Lu Shaohua believes that Ferguson can build a strong lineup. Even if Ferguson cannot build a strong lineup now, then in the next few years, as long as the players listed by Lu Shaohua are called to Manchester United, then Manchester United will be an all-star team.

An all-star team will be invincible, there is no doubt about that, because Lu Shaohua is not a shareholder of Real Madrid, he is not only in business, Lu Shaohua pays more attention to the results, so, an all-star team cannot lose and will win many championships.

"Okay, it's almost time. Well, maybe some people will doubt whether what I said is not the same as what I said, but it doesn't matter, just wait and see." Lu Shaohua's tone changed from soft to hard, and in the end, Lu Shaohua even gritted his teeth, which shows how tough his attitude was.

Left. Lu Shaohua left directly. It seemed very impolite, but who dared to say "no" to Lu Shaohua? After all, Lu Shaohua had said what he needed to say. What's more, he was the owner of Phoenix Group and he was not someone who could be offended easily.

Phoenix Group is a behemoth that is involved in many industries, including media, etc. Even the now-unpopular online media has been involved by Phoenix Group. Can such a company be offended by ordinary media?

Knowing how powerful the Phoenix Group is, all reporters from different media outlets were told by their superiors when they came to interview that they should not offend Lu Shaohua easily. Even the most famous reporter from the UK's Sun newspaper was told by his boss not to try to challenge Lu Shaohua's bottom line.

It was for this reason that when Lu Shaohua left rudely, no reporter dared to say anything, let alone write anything afterwards.

……

However, Lu Shaohua left. Where did he go?

Lu Shaohua left the scene and went directly back to his residence. His purpose of coming to the UK was achieved, but this did not mean that Lu Shaohua could leave the UK. According to Lu Shaohua's own plan, he planned to stay for a few more days to see whether Ferguson would follow his wishes to buy Ronaldinho first. If so, Lu Shaohua would feel at ease to leave the UK.

In addition, Lu Shaohua made a promise to give the players a salary increase, and Lu Shaohua will also monitor the progress. Now that the season is almost over, contract renewal will be officially put on the agenda, and salary increases will be carried out at the same time as the renewal.

Soon, three days passed.

Three days is neither short nor long, and it is enough for a lot of things to happen. On the second day after Lu Shaohua held a press conference, the first wave of actions after Lu Shaohua took over Manchester United finally began. Under Lu Shaohua's command, the staff from Hong Kong worked day and night and finally withdrew Manchester United from the stock market when the stock market closed that afternoon.

Just as Lu Shaohua expected, there would definitely be people who objected when the team was withdrawn. However, that was just a situation when there was thunder but no rain. There were no large-scale protests. Instead, there were many fans who protested under the banner of support.

Now, Lu Shaohua felt relieved. After acquiring Manchester United, he finally made a major breakthrough. The next things became much simpler. Lu Shaohua planned to reduce the ticket prices. Yes, Lu Shaohua gave an order and directly reduced the prices, which could be said to be the immediate fulfillment of his promise.

On the second day after the price reduction news was released, which was also the third day after Lu Shaohua held a press conference, there were even more people demonstrating. However, this time the demonstrations were not in support of Lu Shaohua's actions, but were strongly opposed to those die-hard fans who tried to oppose Lu Shaohua's acquisition of Manchester United.

The strength was obvious, the ratio of numbers was 100:1, and this was still a rough statistical result. The massive riot of thousands of people drowned those who opposed Lu Shaohua's takeover in the crowd. Their voices became smaller and smaller, for fear of angering the civilian demonstrators and getting beaten.

Just like that, the voices were finally unified. There was only one voice in the UK, and that voice was that of the ordinary fans, who supported Lu Shaohua's acquisition of Manchester United and his investment in Manchester United. There were even some extreme people who constantly attacked those who had shares in Manchester United but did not exchange them for cash.

Lu Shaohua was fully aware of the situation outside. At the same time, he also knew that the general trend was unstoppable. He, Lu Shaohua, had succeeded in acquiring Manchester United, a traditional top football team, in a peaceful manner, and his plan was largely successful.

At the same time, on the third day, there was another move in Manchester United, and this move was not small. News came from within the Manchester United team that Manchester United was interested in buying Zidane. Of course, this was internal news and had not been confirmed, but the media was making a fuss, reminding people of what Lu Shaohua said at the press conference three days ago.

“Buy top superstars.”

That’s right, Lu Shaohua had released such a bombshell at the press conference, and now it seems to have come true. Manchester United is currently seeking to sign Zidane, the current football superstar.

The news is true. Yes, after several experiments, Ferguson finally moved Beckham to the position of defensive midfielder. If Zidane is bought, their positions will not overlap and the two can coexist.

Lu Shaohua knew that Ferguson was slowly carrying out his plan according to his intention. The next thing missing was Ronaldinho. As long as Ronaldinho was bought, Lu Shaohua could return to Hong Kong and ignore what was happening in the UK.

It is undeniable that Ferguson worked very hard. Less than a day after the news that Manchester United was interested in buying Zidane came out, Manchester United announced another news that Manchester United had signed a contract with a Brazilian player named Ronaldinho.

Who is Ronaldinho?

No one knows him, no one in the entire European continent knows him, but he is very famous in Brazil. The reason is very simple. He has a great surname and fantastic skills, which makes him a football star in Brazil.

However, many people do not know what Manchester United means by this move, because Ronaldinho has never been selected for the national team and cannot apply for a work permit, so he cannot play for Manchester United. Therefore, it is generally believed that Manchester United's move is undoubtedly to keep players in captivity, train them for a period of time, and then sell them off to make a fortune.

But is this really the case?
