Real Madrid's second generation of Galactica was unstoppable. Barcelona stood proudly at the top of Europe and worked hard. Bayern Munich and Inter Milan endured hardships to fight for the throne. The British heroes hid their strength and bided their time, advancing step by step …
In the summer of 2009, the European football world was undergoing a fission. A handful of powerhouses were reborn and were transforming in the direction of a super powerhouse. In an era where masters were rare, the existence of superstars had been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
The four superstars who had monopolized the top three for the Ballon d 'Or in the past two years gathered in La Liga in July 2009.
Qin Xiong, Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka.
Just when the outside world believed that the war between Barcelona and Real Madrid would rise from Spain to the height of the most attention in Europe, Qin Xiong, who had won two Ballon d 'Or awards and reached the top of the Champions League three times among the four superstars, had become the hottest player in the transfer market.
On the second day after Ronaldo's official appearance at the Bernabéu, the media was keenly aware that Qin Xiong's future in Real Madrid had undergone a fundamental change. Because Ronaldo had worn the number 9 jersey that originally belonged to Qin Xiong when he appeared, Real Madrid did not release a statement at the same time on their official website. Which jersey should Qin Xiong wear next season?
If he was a nobody, it would be fine. But Real Madrid's treatment of Qin Xiong would undoubtedly lead to Qin Xiong's unusual dissatisfaction.
This kind of mistake was not made by the club. If it was not a mistake, then the only answer was: Qin Xiong and Real Madrid had parted ways!
Sure enough, on the afternoon of July 7th, Real Madrid's official website officially announced that the contract renewal with Qin Xiong had failed!
In order to recoup some of their financial losses and prevent Qin Xiong from leaving on a free transfer, Real Madrid accepted offers from four clubs: Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester City.
The only bid that was rejected was from Barcelona.
.....
China, Jiangcheng.
Qin Xiong's home here was in a villa area at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs. After putting little Qin Xiong to sleep at noon, Qin Xiong and Sylvia went downstairs together and met with the representative of Dalian Wanda Group in the living room on the first floor.
Wang Sicong was the middleman for this cooperation. He sat in the armchair with his legs crossed and remained silent. He introduced the representative of the financing channel to Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong's representative was Tang Le, who represented his company, and Sylvia, who represented him personally.
Sylvia had enough professional management and financial knowledge to come forward and give advice to Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong did not participate in such a meeting. He sat on the sofa next to Wang Sicong and whispered with the young man about some information that needed to be confirmed.
"I don't want to appear on the list of the club's board of directors, because that will make me an outsider in the locker room. You may not understand, but the locker room and the management are sometimes two different worlds that cannot interfere with each other. I'm a player, and I have to do my part as a player. Of course, the information I get in the locker room can help us better manage the club, kill some bad signs, and eliminate hidden dangers."
Wang Sicong nodded and said, "My father also considered this, so his suggestion is that your investment will be in the name of the organization, not directly in your name or your company's name. That would be too conspicuous."
"That's the best. I don't understand what they're talking about, but I want to know, how much debt will I have to bear?"
Qin Xiong did not understand financial operations, but he understood that if such an acquisition exceeded his own assets, he would need to borrow money, which was equivalent to having debts.
Wang Sicong chuckled and said, "There are no companies in the world that are not in debt. The more successful a company is, the more debt it has to bear. This is a capital game. Simply put, you don't have to pay a cent at all. You can borrow 50 million pounds with Liverpool F.C.'s assets as collateral, and you don't have to mortgage any of your personal assets or company shares."
Qin Xiong thought for a moment and said, "Isn't this the same as getting something without risking anything?"
Wang Sicong smiled and nodded. When the Glazer family bought Manchester United, they played the same trick.
If it were not for Qin Xiong's strong personal brand influence, Wang Jianlin would not need a partner at all. He invited Qin Xiong to join not because he was short of money, but because he wanted to make a lot of money!
After two days of discussing the financing matters, Qin Xiong and Dalian Wanda Group's chairman, Wang Jianlin, signed a cooperation agreement. Then on July 10, a piece of news shook the United Kingdom.
China's capital invaded the Premier League!
Dalian Wanda Group sent a negotiating team to the United States to discuss the acquisition of Liverpool's two bosses.
The news caused a stir in Liverpool.
Red Army fans were jubilant after the Liverpool Echo's special correspondent went to China to understand the financial strength of real estate tycoon Wang Jianlin and published a special report.
The masks of the two American bosses being liars had long been exposed. The Red Army fans were looking forward to a more powerful boss to take over the team, as if they were waiting for a savior.
Although Dalian Wanda Group was not as rich as Abramovich or the Abu Dhabi consortium, it was still several times, or even ten times, better than the two American bosses who only spent 150 million pounds to buy Liverpool!
Gillette didn't want to waste his time in Liverpool. He was already prepared to sell his shares, but Hicks was unwilling to do so and wanted to sell them for a high price in an attempt to earn at least 100 million pounds.
But Dalian Wanda Group was not willing to be ripped off.
The negotiations reached a stalemate in the early stages.
Hicks wanted to increase the size of Liverpool to raise the price, so he looked around for a network of connections to carry out a refinancing plan. He tried to get 350 million pounds in a week to start Liverpool's new stadium plan at Stanley Park. In this way, when evaluating the club's assets, the increase in scale that the new stadium could bring would make the shares in his hands even more valuable!
Freddy flew around Europe. He represented Qin Xiong in negotiations with the teams who wanted to buy him. It seemed that Qin Xiong was really looking for another club.
But most of the teams who negotiated with Freddy eventually backed off because Qin Xiong's remuneration was too high.
Real Madrid was willing to pay him 200,000 pounds a week. Other clubs who had the money to buy him might not be able to afford it. If the different tax rates in various countries were taken into account, the figure would rise.
But it was not as if there were no clubs that could afford it. Chelsea was one of them. But Freddy represented Qin Xiong and refused to transfer Chelsea on the grounds that Chelsea's frequent changes of managers lacked stability.
For this reason, the new Chelsea manager, Ancelotti, personally called Qin Xiong, hoping that Qin Xiong would change his mind and join Chelsea. He could not guarantee how long he would stay in the manager's position. Qin Xiong told him the truth.
"I've decided which club to join."
