Chapter 575: Something exciting
"Master Huan, actually, our board of directors has another idea."
Daniel Levy looked at Yang Huan tentatively, paying attention to the changes in Master Huan's expression.
"Huh?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.
Daniel Levi gritted his teeth and said, “We plan to invite interested investors to join the board of directors!”
Yang Huan frowned when he heard this. If you decide to invite investors to invest, that’s your business. What does it have to do with me?
But what Daniel Levy said next surprised Yang Huan.
"Master Huan, I wonder if you are interested?"
"Me?" Yang Huan was really surprised.
Unexpectedly, Daniel Levy was very sure and determined, and even looked at Young Master Huan with some expectation.
"Yes, if you are interested, Master Huan, I can help you!"
A million horses were galloping through Yang Huan's mind.
Isn't this thing changing too fast?
It was clearly you who came to ask me for help, how come you suddenly turned into asking me to invest?
Moreover, it sounds like Daniel Levy is somewhat dissatisfied with the team's behind-the-scenes boss Lewis, but is very sincere towards Yang Huan. What is going on?
"Well, if I remember correctly, there should be a rule in the Premier League that one person cannot hold shares in two teams at the same time, right?"
Daniel Levi shook his head and said, “No, Master Huan, as long as the shares are within a certain proportion, it is completely acceptable!”
"Oh, really?" Yang Huan didn't remember if this was the case.
"Yes!" Daniel Levy was very sure, "Besides, our ENIC company's headquarters is in the tax haven of the Bahamas. As long as we operate it a little bit and conceal it from the public, there will definitely be no problem!"
Yang Huan had no doubt about this at all.
When it comes to capital operation, even if all the brains of those guys in the Premier League and UEFA were added together, they couldn't match any of Yang Huan's investment advisor Zhao Yuanfang's subordinates.
After all, they are not good at this!
Of course, if they really want to be serious and hire a third party to investigate, that would be a different story.
"That being said, I already have Southampton, so..."
When Daniel Levi heard Master Huan's tone, which seemed to be a refusal, he became anxious.
In addition to being the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur, he is also the CEO and shareholder of the ENIC Consortium and has considerable say in the entire ENIC Consortium.
After all, Tottenham Hotspur has been run by Daniel Levy all these years.
In addition, the team is now in a difficult situation due to the Northumberland Plan, and with the strong rise of Southampton, it is also facing a crisis on the field. If Tottenham Hotspur does not seek a breakthrough, it is likely to decline.
If we could introduce Yang Huan at this time, it would undoubtedly kill two birds with one stone.
First of all, Yang Huan has enough connections to solve the various problems facing the Northumberland Plan.
In addition, with Yang Huan and Southampton's financial resources and scouting system, they can fully help Tottenham Hotspur maintain its top ranking in the Premier League, and even help Tottenham Hotspur break into the top four of the league.
In the end, Daniel Levy had to admit that in his eyes, Yang Huan was more suitable to be the team's boss than Lewis.
At the very least, Yang Huan is ambitious, courageous, and willing to invest.
And what about Lewis?
A person who is petty and cautious, and who is willing to sacrifice himself for great things, what can he achieve?
So, as soon as Daniel Levy heard Yang Huan's tone of refusal, he immediately threw out his chips.
"Master Huan, although the outside world's overall valuation of Tottenham Hotspur is around 400 million pounds, if you are interested, we can give you the best price!"
The so-called 400 million pounds is all fake, just an estimation.
But Tottenham Hotspur is in the most commercially developed Premier League, and is located in London, where every inch of land is valuable, even in the north.
And Tottenham's finances have been very healthy over the years.
Therefore, the valuation of 400 million pounds is barely acceptable!
Sure enough, as soon as Daniel Levy opened his mouth, Yang Huan thought about it with interest and asked.
"How many?"
"Sixty million pounds, twenty percent equity!"
When Yang Huan heard this, he really became interested.
This is indeed the most favorable capital increase plan!
According to Daniel Levy's proposal, Tottenham Hotspur's overall valuation is around 300 million pounds.
It is 100 million pounds cheaper than the outside valuation. How can it not be a discount?
But Master Huan thought about it, shook his head, and said, "With Tottenham Hotspur's current lineup, it will be difficult for them to compete for the top four in the league. They need to recruit players in the front court, midfield, and back court!"
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Tottenham Hotspur is ranked sixth in the Premier League standings so far this season, only one point behind Arsenal and two points behind Chelsea.
But in reality, the North London team's lineup configuration is not satisfactory.
On the front line are Adebayo and Defoe, both of whom are no longer as brave as they used to be.
Although Tottenham Hotspur has the support of players like Aaron Lennon and Dembele, its offensive power is still worrying.
The midfield is the strongest, and the double defensive midfielder combination of Schneiderlin and Wanyama has stabilized Tottenham's midfield.
But there are also many problems on the defensive line, and it’s a lot of trouble!
Although Villas-Boas was dismissed from Chelsea in disgrace and was questioned by fans, it is no small feat for him to lead Porto to win the treble.
You know, when Mourinho was at Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan, the task of analyzing opponents and arranging targeted tactics was all given to Villas-Boas, but the two eventually parted ways due to different tactical concepts.
Yang Huan once learned about Boas from Bielsa.
In the eyes of the Argentine madman, Villas-Boas is considered to be the best among the young head coaches. From the perspective of tactical qualities alone, he is not even inferior to successful coaches such as Guardiola.
So why did Boas suffer a setback at Chelsea?
The reason must be mentioned Chelsea's lineup and situation at that time.
At that time, everyone in the world knew that Chelsea needed reform, from the player lineup to the tactical play, a revolutionary innovation was needed, so Abramovich chose Villas-Boas.
But here comes the problem.
Villas-Boas is so young, and although he has Porto's treble as a bargaining chip, he only has one Europa League title in the European arena, which is far less important than Mourinho's Champions League title back then. Moreover, Chelsea is no longer the loser it was when Mourinho took over.
Veteran players in the team such as Lampard, Terry, Drogba and others clearly have doubts about Boas.
Because the high-position defense, high-intensity front-court pressing and oppression emphasized by Boas do not conform to Chelsea's actual situation.
For example, he once said that Chelsea should strengthen their possession of the ball in front of the opponent's 30-meter area and push the defense forward.
But the problem is that Chelsea's midfield does not have such a ball-control player, and the aging defense is not suitable for playing high defense at all.
Another very important point in Boas' football philosophy is running without the ball.
But for Chelsea, whose lineup was already aging at the time, neither high defense nor off-ball running was realistic.
That's why Mourinho said that Boas would fail as Chelsea coach because the timing was wrong!
But this does not mean that Boas has no ability.
On the contrary, the tactical concepts that Boas insists on are the most advanced in recent years.
And judging from Porto's successful experience, Villas-Boas not only knows how to talk, he also knows clearly how to do it.
This season, Tottenham Hotspur, although the frontcourt attack is weak and the backcourt defense is poor, but Villas-Boas's team is still holding on to Arsenal and Chelsea. Even now, it still maintains the qualification to impact the top four of the league.
A very important reason is Schneiderlin and Wanyama!
The presence of double defensive midfielders, as well as the outstanding performance and rapid progress of the two players, have given Boas the guarantee to realize his tactical ideas. Therefore, Tottenham Hotspur has performed quite well this season.
In Yang Huan's opinion, if Tottenham Hotspur can continue to move forward around Villas-Boas's tactical ideas and further strengthen the team's lineup, it is entirely possible to break into the top four of the league.
And there is great hope!
After all, these days, whoever has a strong backbone is more likely to achieve results!
Arsenal's waist is in a bad condition, Chelsea's waist is half-crippled, and Manchester United's waist has been a chronic problem for many years.
Looking at the entire Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur's waist is second only to Southampton and Manchester City.
In this situation, achieving results is a matter of course!
Daniel Levy had no idea what was in Young Master Huan's mind. He just heard that Young Master Huan didn't seem to be very interested, and he immediately became anxious. He gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and became furious!
"Master Huan, how about 50 million pounds and 20% of the shares!"
Estimated at £250 million?
Yang Huan knew clearly in his heart that even though Daniel Levy was doing it as if he was selling his flesh and blood, in fact, they made a lot of money. You know, how much did they spend when they acquired Tottenham Hotspur?
"Fifty million pounds?" Yang Huan thought about it and shook his head. "How about we try another way to cooperate?"
"Another way?" Daniel Levi frowned, "Master Huan, please tell me."
"I will invest some money to help Tottenham Hotspur recruit players and strengthen the team's lineup, and use this as a bargaining chip for buying shares. As for the valuation of Tottenham Hotspur, it is 250 million pounds."
After a pause, Yang Huan remembered something, "Oh, by the way, in order to make this deal more suspenseful, we can try something exciting, such as deciding my share based on Tottenham Hotspur's league ranking next season."
Daniel Levy smiled bitterly after hearing this.
Wouldn’t this be too exciting?
It’s a bit like the way a bet agreement is played!
Master Huan, do you think this is playing a computer game?
This concerns our interests of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of pounds!
But I have to say that Yang Huan’s proposal is quite tempting.
After all, Master Huan's eyes were notoriously sharp!
"The Northumberland Project..."
Yang Huan nodded confidently and said, "I'll help you with it!"
When Daniel Levi heard this, he immediately became excited.
Just kidding, the Northumberland Project is Tottenham's top priority.
Relatively speaking, the impact brought by Master Huan's investment is insignificant.
If Master Huan's investment can accelerate the Northumberland Project until it is a great success, the benefits it brings to the ENIC Consortium will be enormous.
By that time, Tottenham Hotspur's overall market value will at least double.
With the new stadium, would interested buyers have the nerve to make an offer unless they want 700 to 800 million pounds?
Moreover, now that Young Master Huan has invested, Tottenham Hotspur will become one of theirs. When the time comes for Miracle Media to compete in the International Champions Cup, will it be embarrassing for them not to give Tottenham Hotspur a place?
Thinking of this, Daniel Levi immediately nodded and agreed.
"Okay, Master Huan, I'll go back and talk to the board of directors. I will definitely be able to convince them!"
Yang Huan didn't seem to care, he nodded and smiled, "Okay, then I'll be waiting for your good news anytime!"
"good!"
Daniel Levi immediately picked up the coffee on the table, drank it all in one gulp, stood up, and said goodbye.
Yang Huan watched him leave and smiled slightly.
This deal is also a good deal for him.
At the very least, in the Premier League, we can cultivate another younger brother for Southampton!
But as soon as Daniel Levy left, someone came up to him.
It turned out to be... r1148
