After plopping down on the bed, Li Shiguang answered Allen's call.
"Boss, Bates has sent another offer for Tevez, raising the price to 20 million euros," Allen reported urgently to Li Shiguang.
Upon hearing this news, Li Shiguang smiled slightly. Just as he expected, the old man panicked when he saw that he had gone to Manchester!
So he instructed Allen: "Reply to him that the price is still too low, the other teams have offered more, and we are still considering it."
After a brief pause, Li Shiguang continued, "There's another matter. Keep an eye on West Bromwich Albion's recent transfer activity. Find out how the negotiations for the players they've put up for sale are going. If the progress is slow, ask someone at the bank if Bates has applied for a loan recently."
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away!" Allen replied and then hung up the phone.
Next, Li Shiguang chose to return to Germany and join Schalke 04, where Neuer plays. Like Modric, Li Shiguang had already negotiated Neuer's transfer price with Schalke 04 before coming and quickly signed the contract.
At Schalke 04, he had an unexpected success.
When he visited Schalke 04's youth team training in the afternoon, he spotted the tall, thin young player in the crowd and happily spent 500,000 euros to bring away Julian Draxler, who is only 12 years old at the time.
When Li Shiguang saw Draxler, he immediately checked his talent using the system. Upon seeing that Draxler's talent was rated A, he immediately made his move. This led Schalke 04's management to believe they had encountered a truly exceptional talent, and they even began enthusiastically promoting other young players from their youth academy to Li Shiguang...
Later, Li Shiguang went to Monaco and Donetsk respectively, and brought Maicon and Yaya Touré away for 4 million euros and 2 million euros respectively.
After another two weeks of crazy fun in Europe, Li Shiguang returned to Leeds at the end of June.
During his trip, Allen, as arranged by Li Shiguang, would occasionally release news about Tevez and Manchester United. Manchester United cooperated by giving vague answers whenever reporters asked about it.
Some reporters wanted to interview Tevez directly, but unfortunately, this man who had longed for his hometown had already packed his bags and returned to Argentina the day after Li Shiguang announced his vacation.
Furthermore, according to Allen's reply, Bates should have already received his loan, and West Bromwich Albion has also cleared out several players, so his most recent offer for Tevez has risen to 24 million euros.
However, with the intention of eliminating the root of the problem, Li Shiguang still had Allen stall him.
Li Shiguang's current thought is all about one word: stall! He'll stall until Bates makes a direct offer of 29 million euros, then he'll tell you the truth: Tevez has already transferred to Manchester United.
Time flew by and it was July.
Because Leeds United took the lead in the Premier League on the first day of the transfer window by announcing the departure of several key players, their official website was subsequently bombarded with criticism.
For more than a month afterward, not only did Li Shiguang never make an appearance, but there were also no updates on new signings on the official website, leading some Leeds United fans to believe that Li Shiguang was ready to give up on Leeds United.
Li Shiguang set July 5th as the return date for the players, and the newly joined players will gradually arrive at Leeds United.
So, starting from July 1st, Leeds United's official website, which had been silent for a long time, finally began to be updated.

Bob Walton is a die-hard Leeds United fan, and he is actually not very satisfied with the team's signings over the past month or so. After all, the team has not put much effort into new signings after losing so many key players.
But last year he witnessed firsthand how Li Shiguang pulled Leeds United out of a predicament, so he doesn't believe the claims in the media and from some fans that Li Shiguang has given up on Leeds United.
For the past month or so, the first thing he does every morning is check Leeds United's official website to see if there are any new signings. Then he engages in online arguments with the trolls who are relentlessly criticizing Leeds United!
As usual, Bob went to his study and turned on his computer as soon as he finished breakfast.
When he logged into Leeds United's official website, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the homepage, which had been dormant for more than a month, had changed.
Leeds United have finally made a move!
Welcome Manuel Neuer to Leeds United
Welcome Philip Lamb to Leeds United
Welcome Yaya Touré to Leeds United
Leeds United officially announced the signing of four new players today, which immediately cheered Bob up.
As a die-hard Leeds United fan, he knows the team's squad very well.
Before the transfer window opened, he posted on one of the largest forums in Leeds, speculating that Leeds United would definitely make big moves during the summer transfer window, since with the current strength of Leeds United's squad, they absolutely could not withstand the Premier League's schedule of often playing two games a week!
Who knew that Li Shiguang would deliver a blow to him on the very first day of the transfer window, leaving Bob relentlessly attacked on the forums.
So Bob immediately took a screenshot of the news from the official website and posted it under his own post. He had been holding back for too long, and today he had to have a good talk with these trolls who had been criticizing him for more than a month!
Besides the fan base.
That afternoon, major media outlets also published news of the four new signings joining Leeds United in their evening papers.
Moreover, after a day of fermentation, a question arose in everyone's mind.
Since the transfer window opened, Leeds United have announced the signing of seven new players. The oldest, Toure, Lahm, and Ribery, are only 22 years old, and they have even brought in a 12-year-old academy player.
This is further compounded by the fact that Leeds United won the championship last season with the lowest average age in the entire Championship.
Could it be that Li Shiguang wants to create a youth storm in the Premier League?
Can this group of young players really withstand the onslaught from world-class strikers like Drogba and Henry?
