    Mr. Sheffield, the chairman of Newcastle United, has been in a particularly good mood recently, which can be said to be extremely good. Since taking up the position of chairman of Newcastle United, he has felt that his luck has begun to deteriorate. Before taking over, Newcastle United  The team is still a team that has the ability and ambition to challenge for the league championship, but after he took over, Newcastle United has completely become a mid-range team with the goal of reaching the UEFA Cup - of course,  This is a statement that Sheffield will never admit. It is just a nickname given to Newcastle United by the harsh local Newcastle newspapers.

    Players have been changed one after another, coaches have been changed one after another - from 1997 to now, he has replaced four coaches, and among the players, basically only Shearer, the iconic figure, has experienced John  .People from the Hall era, others have transferred and retired - he also spent a lot of money for this, and even now Newcastle United's financial deficit has reached 50 million pounds -  ¡ªHe couldn¡¯t understand it. He had obviously tried very hard, but he still couldn¡¯t achieve any good results!

    "There are still good results. Didn't we win two FA Cup runners-up in two consecutive seasons in 1999?" Sheffield thought calmly to himself.

    However, after the start of this season, to be precise, after the famous coach Bobby Robson was hired, Newcastle United, or Mr. Sheffield, began to turn around. Newcastle United's results this season were quite good, although they could not match the points.  Compared with the two giants Manchester United and Arsenal who are chasing each other at the top of the list, they have always been at the top of the second group.  Two-thirds of the way through the league, they actually beat Liverpool and Chelsea to rank third in the league, and are very likely to reach the European Champions Cup next season!

    Entering the European Champions League means at least tens of millions of euros in revenue, which can also make up for the financial deficit.

    What makes Sheffield most happy is that the shares of Newcastle United, which have been dormant in the stock market, have also begun to become popular. Since February, Newcastle United's shares have been extremely active on the London trading market.  There are a large number of shares traded every day, and each stock has increased from more than sixty pence a share at the beginning to about ninety pence a share.  This means that the value of Newcastle United Club has increased by half!

    Sheffield is ready to sell some of his stocks to cash out. He knows clearly that Newcastle United's stocks are only worth seventy pence at most. There is definitely an advantage in selling now. He will buy them back after the price stabilizes.  There may be millions of pounds in income during this time.  Even a fool can calculate this account.

    Sheffield has no doubts that Newcastle United's stock has risen so significantly for the first time in so many years. You know, Newcastle United has had the opportunity to participate in the Champions League for the first time in so many years since he took over!  Stocks should rise as they should!

    So he started selling off his shares, of course, very carefully at first, only selling about one percent of his shares, which were absorbed immediately after entering the market, and Newcastle's stock rose another five  penny.

    Having tasted the sweetness, Sheffield sold again.  This time he sold 2 per cent. His selling caused a brief dip in the stock, but within three days Newcastle shares were up nine pence as the shares were bought by others.

    After waiting for a few days, Sheffield was relieved to see that trading volume in Newcastle stock was still high even after he had not sold his stock.  This time he sold 2% of the stock again, and then stopped. After all, he only had less than 30% in total. Now that he had sold so much, he was already a little worried.  If it is sold again, the number of shares circulating in the market may exceed the number he holds, and then his position as chairman will be difficult to protect.

    Looking at the cash withdrawn with satisfaction, Sheffield felt three points better, and he suddenly remembered.  The Chinese guy who came to visit Newcastle United at the start of the season.  Could it be that this world-class rich man was given to him by this Chinese?  Bringing good luck to Newcastle?

    "Maybe I should treat him to a meal, just like Sir Hall did." Sheffield thought happily, but after thinking of Sir John Hall, his mood became a little worse, because Sir John Hall had always  Sir Alex is not satisfied with his work as the club's chairman, but he cannot express his dissatisfaction - after all, more than half of the club's shares are in the hands of this old guy.

    "Old guy, now you can see, I will also lead Newcastle into the European Champions Cup! In a few years, we will definitely win a championship, and then you will have nothing to say."

    Cursing secretly in his heart, Sheffield happily left the club and prepared to go home.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Mr. Sheffield never imagined that Pei Wei, whom he had just considered to be his and Newcastle's lucky star, was preparing to pull him down from the throne of the club's chairman.

    "How is the situation?" In a secret trading place in London, Pei Wei sat down on a sofa that was originally brand new, but now became extremely dirty, and even had a few pieces of unwashed dirty clothes on it, and asked.

    "Boss, things are going very well."

    The broker who was typing on a computer turned around and said: "It went much smoother than we expected. No one would have thought that someone was acquiring Newcastle's shares, so we have purchased almost 108% of the shares  ¡­ It cost less than ¡ê20 million.¡±

    "Oh?" Pei Wei was a little surprised. The total number of stocks circulating in the market was less than 20%. They were able to acquire close to 14% of the stocks. Doesn't that mean there is basically nothing circulating in the market?

    "No, boss, we will not make such a mistake." After hearing Pei Wei's doubts, the broker explained: "We originally only planned to acquire up to 10%, but some time ago, we were  After a massive sell-off, it is estimated that the number of shares in circulation increased by about 5%, so we purchased more. After all, more is better than less. "

    "Five percent more?" Pei Wei was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his lips: "It's probably our current chairman who saw the stock rising very high and wanted to make more money"

    Pei Wei, who was in a good mood, suddenly thought of another thing: "Will eating the shares he sold continuously make him alert? The most important thing for us now is to keep it secret, and we must not alert the snake!"

    No wonder Pei Wei is so nervous. The initial acquisition is the most important. The key is to obtain enough shares without alarming Newcastle. If Sheffield is alarmed, as long as he will have a consortium from China.  When news spreads that it is planning to acquire Newcastle United, which has the largest number of fans in England, it will definitely stimulate the most vulnerable part of the hearts of Newcastle United fans. Maybe the British government will stop itself just like it did in 1999 when it stopped Sky TV from acquiring Manchester United.  By acquiring Newcastle, no matter how rich I am, I can't compete with a country, let alone one of the most powerful countries on the European continent.

    As long as Sheffield spreads the news, the fans boycott, and the government intervenes, then even if John Hall stands up to support him, there is nothing he can do. What's more, Pei Wei believes that a shrewd old guy like Sir Hall will not commit the crime.  If he makes such a mistake, he will definitely abandon himself when the time comes. The best situation for him is to take the ten percent of the acquired shares and become a shareholder without a say in the Newcastle Club, receiving a little less every year.  Get a pitiful bonus

    "You can rest assured." The broker curled his lips, seeming a little dissatisfied that Pei Wei questioned their professional quality: "We slowly acquired these shares after going through several procedures and disrupting them. There is no transaction at all.  People can find it out if they have the energy to do so, unless someone has been paying attention to us. Even so, we only made the purchase after going through at least five accounts. This transaction cannot be discovered at all in the vast sea of ??stock market transaction information. "

    "Oh, that was my mistake. I'm sorry." Pei Wei said with a smile: "Well everyone, in the next period of time, you must still maintain your current efficiency and make Newcastle stock trading more active. Don't let people  I realize that a lot of stocks have been concentrated in our handswait for my news, and when I send the news, I will immediately purchase the stocks as much as I can, do you understand? "

    "I understand, boss!"

    The brokers present all raised their heads and replied in confusion: "This is our old business, and we guarantee that it will be done without leakage!"

    Pei Wei smiled. He absolutely believed in these people. These people were all professional talents. They were the best at spreading accounts and setting off smoke bombs. Every year, Pei Wei spent an astronomical amount of money on them in salary and subsidies.  Numbers, but Pei Wei still thinks it's worth it.

    "The first step seems to be going well When the moment of launch, I estimate that I will be able to acquire close to 20% of the stock. Adding in the shares transferred by Hall, I may be able to directly own 7%.  Fifteen shares can control the Newcastle club. At that time, the British government will not be able to intervene. As for the opposition of the fans, what is the problem? When I bring a championship, they will have no problem Haha.  , it went very smoothly"

    While thinking, Pei Wei walked out of the smoke-filled room.
