After Qin Xiong finished reading the proposal, he fell into deep thought.
The meeting room was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. After a long time, Qin Xiong turned his head to look at Wang Jianlin and asked calmly, "I still don't understand. What does this have to do with me?"
The acquisition part of the proposal did state that Qin Xiong was the target partner, but whether Qin Xiong wanted to be the boss or had the money to be the boss was another matter. Dalian Wanda Group could fully acquire Liverpool F.C. and completely control it. There was no need to find a partner.
Wang Jianlin stood up and put one hand on the table. He said seriously, "Liverpool is now looking for a buyer. Gillet can't wait to sell his shares. Only the 50% shares in Hicks's hands are more difficult to deal with. But under the pressure of the bank's debt collection, I think he will compromise.
Qin Xiong, the acquisition of Liverpool is just the beginning of the plan. It's not the whole plan.
What I want is to build Liverpool into a brand that can shake China's football.
First of all, if you join, you can make the club's publicity influence, especially in the Asian market, an extremely important force.
Liverpool will become the first choice of Chinese fans because of the Chinese elements and the Chinese owner. They will compete with super clubs such as Real Madrid and Manchester United in the Asian market.
Secondly, if you are willing to join this plan, then I need you to join Liverpool and become a Liverpool player.
In this way, our investment in Liverpool will soon be recouped.
With your commercial influence, we can occupy the China football market!
For example, even if Arsenal and Real Madrid are developing your commercial value, it will be difficult for the club to benefit directly. How much can they get directly from the China market?
Almost none, because most fans still wear pirated jerseys and won't go to London or Madrid to buy tickets to watch the games. Only some Asian sponsors may give them some benefits.
But can you imagine the sensation of a Chinese owner and a top star player from China appearing at the same time in a European powerhouse club?
You have your own personal clothing brand and many branches around the country. We can directly put the club's souvenirs in your sales network, so fans can buy authentic jerseys, scarves, sports products, team souvenirs, and the team's publicity will also cover the entire China market. At the same time, this will promote your personal brand and Liverpool F.C. brand, stimulating the rise of brand influence.
The above is a small part of the economic benefits.
The plan I really want to carry out is the following content..
The weaving of youth football dreams!
I want more and more China's teenagers to pursue their dreams..
They could use Liverpool's resources to develop Chinese players and popularize Europe's advanced football training concepts in China.
The good news is that during the years when Liverpool manager Benítez was in charge, the Liverpool Youth Academy, which was abandoned and close to being discontinued, was revived. My people went there to take a look and the evaluation was very high. Liverpool's youth training system has also become increasingly important in the eyes of professional European scouts.
I think this resource is the most important. We can sell a dream to all the children in China who have a dream about football: to go to Anfield and play football with Qin Xiong!
Three feet of ice is not built in a day, and dripping water can penetrate a stone is not done in a day.
We can't do everything in one step.
We are now starting from scratch. We need to be patient and have a long-term vision. From a small impact, it will gradually become an effect, and the effect will become a trend, and the trend will eventually become popular. This road is long and arduous, but I think that if we are determined to try and wait for the day when we have accumulated enough knowledge, it is not impossible to realize this idea. "
Qin Xiong stared at Wang Jianlin with slight surprise. He actually felt a little ridiculous.
Today's meeting, which was not planned, first involved the acquisition of the club. Qin Xiong was going to go from being a player to being an owner.
Secondly, to let Qin Xiong transfer from Real Madrid to Liverpool, it was a little whimsical!
At least on the premise that there was no new boss, Liverpool could not afford the price was the first hurdle.
Transfer fee and salary, Liverpool could not afford both!
Even if there was a new boss, Liverpool itself was not very attractive to Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong stood up and pointed to the proposal. "Can I take it with me?"
Wang Jianlin smiled and raised his hand to signal that it was up to him.
Qin Xiong extended his right hand to Wang Jianlin and said before parting, "I have to take it back and look at it carefully. I can't give you any answer for the time being. Whether it is to participate in the acquisition of the club or the transfer, it is a very important decision. I need to think about it seriously, but I promise to get back to you as soon as I have a result."
Wang Jianlin shook hands with Qin Xiong and said with a smile, "Of course, anyone would have to think carefully about this kind of thing. I'll be waiting for your news. Goodbye. "
Qin Xiong and Freddy walked out of the conference room together. Wang Sicong followed from behind and said that he would send Qin Xiong and Li Du off on behalf of his father.
Standing in the elevator, Qin Xiong turned his head and asked Wang Sicong, "Do you like Liverpool?"
Wang Sicong nodded and said, "Why not? Liverpool is a very open city, and the young people are crazy. The girls in the bars will wear hot bikinis even in winter. "
Qin Xiong laughed involuntarily and didn't ask anything else.
Walking downstairs to the lobby, Wang Sicong called the driver to send Qin Xiong and Freddy back. Qin Xiong's driver had already sent Sylvia and her son back to the hotel in advance.
Qin Xiong waved goodbye to Wang Sicong and got into the car.
As soon as he got into the car, he handed the proposal to Freddy. Although Freddy also had a copy, it was in English. In order to ensure that there were no differences in the presentation, Freddy would definitely find someone to study it to ensure that there were no differences in the important matters. Only then could Qin Xiong's team analyze the feasibility of the proposal.
Qin Xiong looked out of the car window at the street scene that was going backwards and asked faintly, "Do you think this is reliable?"
Freddy thought for a moment and said, "If all this is based on honesty and no deception, I think it can be considered from the perspective of interests. Tying the interests of a European giant with your personal interests can drive your business development. In particular, this platform is something that other European giants can't provide. You can't imagine how huge the benefits will be once your personal brand and the Liverpool brand have a chemical effect. Just the stimulation of the stock can make your assets skyrocket. "
Qin Xiong was thoughtful. Economic interests must be considered, but he was thinking about competitive interests.
Obviously, in terms of competitive interests, he was taking too much risk.
Liverpool looked good, but once the new boss was changed, who dared to say that it would become better?
It could only be said that the only thing that could slightly move Qin Xiong was the shaping of the club's environment. He could participate in it.
Because he would have a say in the management. Of course, if that was the case, he would certainly not come forward in person. He would have an agent.
