Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

Chapter 230: Preparation before the formation of the Premier League (1)

Li Zhiwen brought He Chaoqiong and Li Yuqing to a country manor house outside London.

Just outside the door, I felt the grandeur of this manor.

The Duke of Bedford deserves to be the largest landlord in the UK (except for the king's house). The 23,000 acres (93 million square meters) of real estate is not built.

Li Zhiwen conservatively estimates that this manor is at least more than 100 acres, which is larger and more valuable than Li Zhiwen's manor in Bexley.

After all, this is a suburb of London, not a satellite city like Bexley.

Li Zhiwen asked Cao Wenyu to go up and negotiate with the concierge. After a short time of waiting, the gate of the manor opened slowly, and Li Zhiwen's car smoothly entered the interior of the manor.

The vehicle stopped in the parking lot, and Li Zhiwen took He Chaoqiong and Li Yuqing out of the car.

As soon as he got off the car, Li Zhiwen was attracted by the big lake next to the parking lot. The lake was surrounded by soft undulating grass slopes. The grass slopes were dotted with small flowers. The lake was as quiet as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky.

"Second brother, it's so beautiful here. I didn't expect Grace to live in such a beautiful place. How much money would it cost to buy it?" Li Yuqing opened her mouth and said, obviously shocked by the vastness of the manor.

Li Zhiwen wants to introduce to Li Yuqing the difference between a British manor and a Hong Kong villa.

Seeing Grace Russell slowly coming here, he stopped talking, and He Chaoqiong and Li Yuqing both opened their mouths wide.

I saw Grace Russell wearing a simple and elegant long skirt, the fabric is very elegant, light gauze, a pair of white gloves with lace on the hand, and a long necklace on the neck, just like from an oil painting The same as coming out.

The dress of Grace Russell was only worn by the British nobles when they saw distinguished guests. Obviously, Grace Russell regarded the three Li Zhiwen as distinguished guests and used the highest etiquette to deal with the visit of the three Li Zhiwen.

"Grace, you are so beautiful, this dress suits you too well!" Li Yuqing said.

"Well, thank you for your compliment, Carol!" Grace Russell said.

Then he said to Li Zhiwen: "Carl, let's go, my father is waiting for you at the door of the villa."

"Okay, let's go!" Li Zhiwen followed Grace Russell and walked towards the villa.

Hurrying to the door of the villa, Li Zhiwen saw the Duke of Bedford standing in the door wearing a suit and a hat on his head.

It's really hard for the Duke of Bedford to dress so tightly in such hot weather.

However, the clothes of Li Zhiwen and others are not rude. After all, they are visiting a British aristocratic family, so they have to be more formal.

"Hello, Duke of Bedford!" Li Zhiwen said.

"Hello, Carl, long time no see." said the Duke of Bedford.

"Grace, you take two beautiful ladies to visit the manor!" The Duke of Bedford said to Grace Russell.

"Okay, Dad!" Grace Russell said.

After the three of them left, the Duke of Bedford said, "Sir Lee, please!"

"Please, Duke of Bedford!" Li Zhiwen also said.

When the Duke of Bedford spoke so formally, he had obviously entered a business meeting.

The two moved to the manor’s living room, and saw that there were already a few formally dressed people in it.

"Carl, let me introduce to you. This is Miklos Pele, the owner of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, and this is Anel Tedell, the president of Manchester United Football Club...

"

Obviously, the Duke of Bedford knew the meaning of Li Zhiwen's visit this time, and he was unambiguous. He invited the behind-the-scenes bosses of several football clubs.

Li Zhiwen roughly counted, there are a total of twelve football club owners, and they are all top giants in the League.

"Everyone, this is Sir Li Zhiwen, the owner of Arsenal Football Club." said the Duke of Bedford.

After everyone greeted each other, they all stared at the Duke of Bedford and asked the Duke of Bedford to come up with a charter.

The Duke of Bedford said: "The purpose of bringing everyone here this time is to form the English Premier League. It is also because Sir Li Zhiwen, who proposed this idea, just came to London, so he has gathered everyone in such a hurry. Listen to Sir Li's introduction to everyone."

At this time everyone noticed Li Zhiwen, a young man (his ugly appearance). Everyone thought that this idea was invented by the Duke of Bedford, and Li Zhiwen was invited because the opponent was the owner of the Arsenal Football Club, who never expected the Premier League. The idea was actually proposed by Li Zhiwen, and he couldn't help but look at this yellow-skinned young man a few more times, of course it was just a few more glances.

"First of all, I think the reason for the formation of the English Premier League is very simple, it is to increase income and increase the market value of the team." Li Zhiwen said.

Li Zhiwen understands that all the people present are businessmen. It is totally unrealistic for you to talk about dreams, teams, and love with them, so talking about money is the best breakthrough.

"Everyone knows that British football is in a downturn. The stadium is crowded and the equipment is dilapidated. Even many clubs are shaking frantically on the verge of bankruptcy due to the renovation of the stadium. This is obviously not in line with the goal of every boss to invest in the club."

"For these reasons, many players are unwilling to stay in the UK and go to football clubs in other European countries. The consequences of this is that our local clubs are declining. Many fans are unwilling to spend money on the stadium to watch football. A vicious circle is formed~www.readwn.com~ so the first thing we have to do is to increase the competitiveness of the league. The current English Football League is not enough to attract fans and there is no suspense."

"So my idea is to separate 20 top football clubs from the English Football League and form another league. This league is independent of the English Football League and only maintains the relegation system with the English Football League." Li Zhiwen said.

"Just like Sir Lee said, the establishment of such a Super League is good for our top clubs, but the FA and the Football League will definitely not agree. If our league is still developing under these two hands, it must be It doesn't make much sense for our new league." said Anel Teidel, president of Manchester United Football Club.

"That's why I am looking for everyone. Since this league is beneficial to everyone, then we cannot be the only one behind the Arsenal Football Club. I hope everyone can reach an agreement and send representatives to negotiate with the FA. To test their bottom line, it is okay to pay some price."

"As for the football league, as long as we gather 20 top football clubs to withdraw together, as long as the football league wants to have attention, there is only one way to cooperate with us." Li Zhiwen smiled.
