Chapter 410
Back at Downton Abbey, Nanyi asked Ueto Masami to investigate the situation in Liverpool, and Ueto Masami handed Nanyi a stack of reports that he needed to see.
Nanyi sat down opposite Masami Uedo and read the report.
The first is a report from the Fanshengzhi Research Institute. In the report, it is mentioned that Yizhak has made some breakthroughs in the research on white feather chicken seedlings, and it is very hopeful that the seedlings will be genetically locked within three to five years. .
The gene lock is added to the seedlings to protect the white-feathered chicken seedling business of Shennong Nanliang. Once the gene lock is added, the chickens hatched by the farmers themselves will not have the various advantages of Shennong Nanliang white-feathered chicken breeds. Further research and improvement In the future, it can even be realized that the farmers' self-retained species are deformed or have various defects.
All in all, unless farmers do not raise white-feathered chickens from Shennong Nanliang, they can only continue to buy seedlings from Shennong Nanliang.
Not only white-feathered chickens, whether it is food, vegetables, poultry or livestock, Shennong Nanliang's own research and improvement, as long as it can be genetically locked, it will be added.
The road of gene lock must be taken, but Nanyi still has a question mark about the three to five years mentioned in the report. He doesn't think this technology is so easy to realize.
In order to get Nanyi to agree to grant funding, these researchers will do the data beautifully. The same is true for Galen. His report is also full of colorful flowers. Just looking at the report, it seems that if you invest money, you will get a return.
The second report is from Scarlett Food Group, a purchase list of agricultural machinery. Looking at the total of more than 14 million US dollars above, Nan Yi recalled the amount spent on purchasing agricultural machinery in the past two years. I know, I was taken aback.
The numbers are a bit shocking. Scarlett's side is close to 350 million US dollars, and Shennong Nanliang's side is a little less, but it is also close to 130 million US dollars, which adds up to almost 500 million US dollars.
Nanyi thought that he would face replacement in a few years, so he couldn't help thinking of investing in an agricultural machinery company.
The third report...
After Nanyi finished reading the report, Uedo Masami took the other half of the report and handed it to him, "President, I suggest that we cancel the plan to acquire Manchester United. 72% of Manchester United's shares are in the hands of Martin Edwards.
Three generations of the Edwards family have been shareholders of Manchester United, and their influence in Manchester United is deeply rooted.
Martin's father, Louis Edwards, was a key player in United's illustrious history. Lewis Edwards bought up United's shares the day after the Munich air crash, using the money to help United survive the crisis and secure himself a prominent position at the club , participate in many decision-making.
There is one more key point..."
When Masami Uedo said this, she deliberately made a fool of herself.
"Just say it."
"Martin Edwards is not short of money. In the past decade or so, he has made hundreds of millions of pounds by speculating in stocks, and he loves football very much. He will not sell Manchester United's shares easily. Maybe he will sell some of his shares, but he will never sell them. to capital."
"How much love?" Nan Yi frowned.
Masami Uedo spread his hands and said: "Football is part of his life."
"Then there is no chance."
Not short of money and love football very much, the price to buy Manchester United will be high.
"No, isn't the owner of Manchester United Grayson or the Glazer family?" Nanyi also forgot where he saw or heard it. He remembered that there was a time when the "Gray×" family was raging.
"Yami, is there any shareholder named Grayson or Glazer among the shareholders of Manchester United?"
Masami Uedo looked through the information and said: "There is no shareholder with this surname. The shareholders of Manchester United are relatively simple. Except for Martin Edwards, more than 90% of the other shareholders are also die-hard fans of Manchester United, and almost all of them are from Manchester."
"I see, since Manchester United has no chance, then change the target, study Liverpool's data and see if there is any chance."
"OK."
Masami Uedo collected the information very quickly, and within two days, the information about Liverpool was sent to Nanyi.
After reading the information, Nanyi didn't frown.
Liverpool's financial situation is not very good, and the shareholders do not have much strength. As the founder of the team, John Heding's Heding family holds most of the shares, but the financial situation of the Heding family is not very good. If the bid is reasonable, they should sell the shares.
But since Bill Shankly became the head coach of Liverpool in 1959, he held the "Red Book" in his hand and transformed Liverpool into an alternative to the "Red Army". The road to hegemony in Europe began.
His unconventional style also allowed Liverpool to gain more than 400,000 Suxiu fans, and Liverpool's game became the only Western camp match that Suxiu would broadcast.
After winning the FA Cup for the second time in 1974, Shankly retired and his assistant Bob Paisley continued his career at Liverpool.
During Paisley's 9 seasons in charge, Liverpool won a total of 20 trophies, including 3 European Club Cups, 1 UEFA Cup, 6 League One titles and the League Cup for three consecutive years.
The scenery of Liverpool is still the same.
In 1983, in accordance with the tradition left by Liverpool, Bob Paisley also passed the position of head coach to his assistant-Joe Fagan.
In the first season of his tenure [1983-84 season], Liverpool became the first English team to win the First Division [fifteenth crown and three consecutive championships], four consecutive League Cups and the fourth Champions League triathlon in one season. A team of major championships.
Seeing this, Nanyi didn't want to look down. Liverpool's record is so brilliant, it is not too much to say that this team is now the top giants in Europe. The price of buying this club must exceed Manchester United.
Moreover, Nanyi looked at the evaluation of Liverpool fans in the materials, and they were not safe masters. Originally, Eagle Country fans were called football hooligans, and Liverpool fans were hooligans among hooligans.
Even if the club is successfully bought, if the fans are dissatisfied and cause heavy casualties, Liverpool's reputation and value will plummet, and it will be regarded as smashing Liverpool.
Nanyi's eyes suddenly appeared dark, waving a red book in one hand, and throwing a beer bottle at Catherine's manic Liverpool fans with the other hand.
If Liverpool's glory can continue, then this team is worth buying.
But thinking of the Premier League, Manchester United and Arsenal jumped out of Nanyi's mind. The first impression Liverpool gave him was the name of the city, not the team.
In his previous life, Nan Yi started to understand football from reading the football newspaper or the "Melancholic Baggio" in some newspapers. It seems that during that time, the TV station often broadcast Premier League games, such terms as Manchester United, Red Devils, Arsenal, Beckham and Owen Break into his brain one by one and settle down.
After getting to know Maradona and Baker, and having an embarrassment in front of others, I realized that the champion he thought was not Baker, but Pele.
In 20 years, when I was drinking with a classmate and recalling the past, I accidentally mentioned the Premier League, only to know that Owen is not from Manchester United.
Such a wealthy team as Liverpool did not leave a clear memory in Nanyi's mind. There is a high probability of prosperity and decline, and the record in the 1990s was not good.
But how did such a wealthy family decline?
Nanyi searched the information and found the information of the players, all of them were in their prime years, and most of them would be fine if they played for another ten years, plus it was a wealthy club, so it should not be difficult to introduce new good players.
Taking a pen to draw a circle around the fans, Nanyi judged that Liverpool's possible loneliness should be caused by them.
Nan Yi smiled wryly, and said to Masami Uedo: "Let people pay attention to Liverpool. If it becomes lonely within five years, remember to remind me."
"President, I have someone collecting information about Arsenal."
Before handing over the information to Nanyi, Masami Uedo knew that Nanyi would definitely not target Liverpool.
"If Arsenal are not going to play, then you don't need to tell me, you can look at other teams." Nanyi sighed and said: "If it doesn't work, just pay attention to equestrianism and snooker, and sponsoring cyclists is also fine."
"President, it is not necessary to buy a rich team. We can buy a second-tier team and turn it into a rich team. This will be more helpful to Catherine's reputation."
Masami Uedo's words gave Nan Yi a sense of provocation and eagerness to try.
"Why, are you interested in managing the team?"
"Yes, President."
"Okay, you handle the team's affairs, and I'll see what you and Catherine can come up with." Nan Yi thought to himself that he didn't understand football at all, so it's really better to let someone who has a lot of enthusiasm for football go to the account Yami try.
Masami Uedo smiled happily, "President, you can rest assured that I will never let Nan's investment go to waste."
"It's not just Nan's money, you have to follow suit, lest you don't care."
"Follow the bet and follow the bet."
