Chapter 1 A big deal of 400 million! The local HSBC bank in Leeds is the current holder of Leeds United shares. Now they are really in no hurry to auction Leeds United, because although Leeds United owes the bank a debt of 120 million pounds, the club¡¯s The value is there, there is no problem at all, they just need to wait until the auction starts. At this time, Glenn Oxley, who is famous in Europe, came to find him! The reason why Glenn Oxley is famous is because he produced a football champion like Shaq, who became a celebrity in Leeds early on. And now the "Shaq Investment Company" he is in charge of is also quite wealthy. Although it is not listed on the market, it is quite abundant in funds, and the inextricable relationship between many large manufacturers and Shaq also ensures the profitability of "Shaq Investment Company". Now that Glenn Oxley came to him, he made it clear that he wanted to participate in the auction of Leeds United, and he hoped to resolve the matter quickly. In line with the principle of maximizing profits, HSBC naturally refused to agree to Glenn Oxley's direct acquisition request, but they forgot the nature of the matter itself. In the city of Leeds, as long as it is related to Leeds United No one can ignore the power of the media and fans. Just outside the door of HSBC, Glenn Oxley was interviewed by reporters: "Yes, we at Shaq Investment Company are very sympathetic to the situation of Leeds United, and we are willing to use our power to help this historic club." The club No, of course it's not Shaq who wants to buy the team. This decision is made by the board of directors Well, if possible, we don't rule out the possibility of Shaq returning to play for Leeds But as you know, this is up to us. It was impossible to do it before Shaq Investment Company took over the club. We encountered difficulties Well, I have other things to do, so this is the end of the interview! "Glenn Oxley is only talking to reporters! He said a few words, but the information revealed was enough to shock the entire city of Leeds, the entire England, and the entire European football world! After reporters analyzed and summarized Glenn Oxley¡¯s words, they easily came to three conclusions 1. As the ball king, Shaq decided to provide help to his home team. The so-called decision of the board of directors is nonsense. The three so-called share holders of Shaq Investment Company are Shaq, Zong Wan'er, and Zong Xingyun. They are basically a family! 2. If the acquisition of Leeds is successful, Shaq will return to Leeds. At present, Shaq's contract with Barcelona has expired and he is a free agent. If he returns to Leeds. Not only will it not cost Leeds money, but it will also bring huge financial returns. What's more, Ben Parker has not yet reached a contract extension with Barcelona, ??and he might come back together! 3. The progress of Shaq Investment Company¡¯s acquisition of Leeds United has encountered obstacles! Through the analysis of reporters, the Leeds fans who understood these three points gave up. Several fan organizations headed by the "Service Gang" gathered four to five thousand people and ran to the entrance of HSBC Bank that afternoon to block it. They even distributed leaflets hoping that residents of Leeds who had deposits in HSBC would withdraw their money and cause trouble for HSBC. If anyone else wants to acquire Leeds United, the local citizens of Leeds will definitely not support it, but Shaq is different, the football champion who came out of Leeds. He is the pride of Leeds and the representative of Leeds United, judging from Shaq's character. He will never have any ill will towards his home team, which is definitely different from the original Bierhoff. As a result, HSBC's deposit business came to a complete standstill. No Leeds citizens came to deposit money anymore. Instead, more and more people came to queue to withdraw money. Many local companies even called to intercede, and cryptic disclosures should be taken into account. Employees' emotions may divert public funds and accounts. In just half a day, HSBC couldn't stand it any longer. The branch manager asked the head office for help. Not only did the cash reserves drop sharply, many companies in the corporate business also said that they had to suspend business because they could not control the emotions of their employees. If you leave it to another bank, you can't get over it! ? If the Leeds HSBC branch still blocks Shaq's acquisition of Leeds United, even if it is not collapsed by a run, then Leeds United will fall into the hands of other people and the results will be good. If the results are not good, this matter will have to be It has become a reason for competitors to attack itself, and the Leeds branch no longer needs to be opened. HSBC¡¯s head office also had to convene an emergency meeting. The cause of the incident at the Leeds branch was obvious: Shaq wanted to acquire Leeds United! The reply from HSBC Bank of China came quickly Since Shaq wants to acquire then let him acquire it. Leeds United is going to be sold anyway, so what trouble are you causing at this time? process! ? Damn youI can't stand it anymore. Half of HSBC's business in Leeds is gone. What kind of process does it care about? ? It was a good time. With the indulgence of the local police in Leeds, the "service gang" and the citizens of Leeds did not let the HSBC branch close. They just queued up leisurely and found various reasons to withdraw money. That night, Glenn Oxley, CEO of Shaq Investment Company, was invited to the Leeds HSBC branch again. Glenn Oxley also waved to the fans and police with a smile on his face. Although he couldn't say some words of thanks, but ¡It¡¯s all without saying anything! When he was invited in with a nod and bow by the branch manager who looked businesslike in the morning, Glenn Oxley was still sighing that Shaq's popularity and reputation in Leeds were indeed unrivaled! This time the two sides met again and it became easier. HSBC wanted to sell and Shaq wanted to buy, so this matter was naturally much easier to handle. Glenn Oxley wanted to lower the price desperately, but HSBC issued three Will there be proof of intention to participate in the sub-auction and deposit proof, or Glenn Oxley will have to grit his teeth and ask Shaq for instructions with the final bid of 220 million pounds. If the auction is cancelled, HSBC will also have to pay liquidated damages. Shaq simply nodded in agreement. Since Shaq decided to acquire Leeds United, he has begun to mobilize funds. Although the liquidity of "Shaq Investment Company" is only more than 300 million pounds. But my father-in-law, Zong Xingyun, came with another 100 million pounds of funding, and 400 million pounds was enough to cope with everything for the time being. Then we will gradually transfer some funds. When Glenn Oxley walked out of the HSBC Bank gate at 23 o'clock with a proud smile on his face, there were still many fans waiting there. The number had exceeded 20,000. More fans rushed over after getting the news. As soon as they saw Glenn Oxley, the chaotic scene immediately became quiet, and many reporters immediately gathered around to ask about the results. Glenn Oxley was protected by four security guards and two assistants. After raising the contract in his hand, Dasheng announced: "Ten minutes ago, Shaq Investment Company acquired 100% ownership of Leeds United at a price of 220 million pounds! Now, Leeds United is an asset of Shaq Investment Company "Oh¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª" "Long live! Long live! Sha-g! Sha-g" There was a huge explosion. Cheering, Leeds fans went crazy, ever since the news of Bierhoff's bankruptcy broke, Leeds United was taken over by HSBC. The hearts of Leeds fans sank to the abyss. But on this day alone, the fans saw hope and achieved victory through their own efforts. This is definitely a victorious revolution! June 18, 2023 This day will always be remembered by Leeds fans! Because on this day, Leeds United's proud "ball king" Shaq lent a helping hand to save Leeds United during the team's most difficult time! When the fans cheer. Glenn Oxley has already begun to announce a series of plans for Shaq Investment Company: "The acquisition of Leeds for 220 million pounds is just the beginning. We will have many plans to push the team back to the top. ! First we will inject capital into the team. As you all know, 220 million is just to repay Leeds United's debt and obtain ownership. The club still needs funds to operate. We will inject 180 million pounds. While maintaining the normal operation of the club, we will also make signings according to the requirements of the new head coach! So please pay close attention to our actions! "Glenn Oxley is really not just talking, he and him. The team had already discussed a plan and obtained Shaq's approval, and injected 180 million pounds into the club's account the next day. The players' wages must be paid first, and it is crucial to stabilize military morale. Captain Jonny Howson was the first to jump out and express his gratitude to Shaq: "We all know the relationship between Shaq and Leeds, so I 100% believe that Shaq's acquisition of Leeds this time is definitely just to help the club through the transition. Overcoming difficulties! He also has such ability! " Ashley Hood also did a great job: "Ha, the team was acquired by Shaq, which is a great thing! He has always been my idol, and now he is To express my gratitude to Shaq, I decided to sign a new contract with the club and reduce my salary by half!¡± ¡°Little Ben¡± Chris Farley then followed up: ¡°I believe in Shaq¡¯s feelings for Leeds. Like us, we all want the team to be better, and now we have obviously seen hope! I bet that this will be the most important change of ownership in the history of Leeds United! " In addition to these three stars, Shaq's "old friends" such as Pifkovsky, Sime Vrsalico, Nelson Oliveira, etc.?Teammates also expressed their full support for Shaq's acquisition. Even Phil Jones and Alex Smith, two teammates of the England team, also expressed their favorable impressions of Shaq. On June 21, Leeds United held a press conference, and at the same time, the official website also posted the news that the world's number one coach Simon Grayson, who had just ended his contract with Barcelona, ??returned. Simon Grayson, whose hair is half gray, looked very angry at the press conference! "I don't know how some people can bring a European championship team to such a bad situation, but I will use my actions to prove that Leeds still has fighting ability, and Leeds United still has a wealthy background. "Cruel Simon" spoke loudly, and he indeed had such qualifications. Bierhoff, Italian coach Frank Baldini and others could only listen.
