    Chapter 552 I want more

    Newcastle, a seaport city in northeastern England, full name "Newcastle on the Tyne", is one of the shipbuilding and ship repair centers in the UK. It is also a central city in the steel, coking, chemical, food processing and other industries. It is a typical industrial city.

    But unlike other industrial cities, the air in Newcastle is very good. Perhaps it is because of the coast (it is only fifteen miles away from the mouth of the North Sea). The sky here is not as dark as in ordinary industrial cities.

    Newcastle, shrouded in darkness, still shows the wonderful night view of the "Vibrant City". You know, Newcastle's nightlife is quite colorful and is rated as one of the eight largest entertainment cities in the world. Looking at this beautiful scenery, Pei  Wei began to feel that staying in this city was quite pleasant.

    "This is much more beautiful than London and Manchester! Maybe Manchester and London are the best cities for English football, but for me, I prefer Newcastle!"

    Breathing the sea breeze along the way, Pei Wei thought happily, and then said to the taxi driver in front: "Hey, brother, please take me to No. 18 Tyne"

    This time when Pei Wei came to Newcastle, he did not alert anyone. He boarded the train from London to Newcastle directly, then found a taxi and arrived near Sir John Hall's home.

    After sending the driver away, Pei Wei strolled to the door of Hall's house and said to the servant guarding the door: "Please pass the message to me and say that Pei from China is here to visit Sir Hall."

    "Mr. Pei from China?" The servant opened the door with a bright smile: "Sir has already informed me in advance that you can go in directly after you arrive."

    Pei Wei was slightly stunned. He came to visit John Hall without any prior notice, but John Hall knew that he was coming as if he had no idea. He even arranged a servant to wait for him at the door

    As he followed the servant inside, Pei Wei was keenly aware that the servant breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed a task.

    "So that's it" Pei Wei's mind was spinning very quickly: "Probably Hall discovered someone was acquiring Newcastle's shares in the stock market. So he guessed it was me, and he also guessed that someone was buying Newcastle's shares in the stock market.  I will come to visit him when he is almost done, so I have arranged for this poor servant to wait for me at the door in the past few days No wonder he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing me coming. The poor guy didn't know that he had already  How long have you been waiting, one day, two days, or a week?¡±

    Pei Wei laughed in his heart, he even thought maliciously.  If he delays his return for a week, will this poor servant collapse from waiting?  But he couldn't delay his arrival any longer. John Hall seemed to have calculated the time very accurately.

    "Damn it, he's an Englishman, why does he also like to do this trick? Logically speaking, I should have used this trick of predicting the future to surprise these Western barbarians, right? The world has turned upside down."

    While muttering to himself, Pei Wei was led directly to the door of John Hall's study by the servant. The servant said respectfully: "Mr. Pei, Sir is waiting for you inside."

    Pei Wei nodded.  He was not surprised by the servant's unethical behavior of taking him directly to the door of Hall's study. Since Hall already knew his purpose, he must also know that the less people know about it, the better.  Even if Hall is willing to sell his shares, he must be careful that Newcastle United fans will be dissatisfied with him for this.

    I saw the servant turn and walk away.  Pei Wei knocked on the door, and John Hall's voice immediately came from inside: "Well, is it Pei? Please come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

    Pei Wei smiled.  Then he opened the door and walked in. Hall, who was wearing an ordinary gray suit, stood up from the desk, greeted him enthusiastically and extended his hand to Pei Wei: "Pei, you are finally here God, it seems that you have already  You¡¯ve considered my proposal, haven¡¯t you?¡±

    "I think you already know it very well." Pei Wei laughed: "Otherwise, why would someone wait for me here? How long has that gentleman been waiting? I hope I came early enough, otherwise I will wait like this  He will definitely feel that his salary is not high enough."

    "Haha, you're kidding. Pei." Hall laughed loudly: "I always have to show a little sincerity Please sit down, Murphy, please pour a cup of tea for my guest What do you like to drink?  Flavor? Would you like black tea?¡±

    "Very good, Sir." Pei Wei nodded: "That's it."

    After the servant brought tea and closed the study door, Hall smiled and said: "I'm surprised, Pei, I didn't expect yourIt's so fast.  You easily acquired nearly 14% of the shares from the market You have a very capable group at your disposal.  "

    "That's thanks to the current Chairman Sheffield." Pei Wei replied with a smile: "If he hadn't generously given away 5% of his shares, I think our acquisition could achieve at most 10% of the target."

    "That's why I don't like him." Hall's face darkened: "He can't keep calm for a little benefit. No wonder Newcastle's debt now exceeds 50 million pounds He might  He is a qualified businessman, but not a qualified chairman. Especially for a listed club like Newcastle, any sale of shares must be cautious and cautious, but he took the risk for the possible gains of millions The risk is  Yes, but it depends on whether it is worth it, such as your actions on the Hong Kong stock market in 1997. "

    "You know so much about me, Sir." Pei Wei said lightly, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

    "I have to be responsible for Newcastle United." Hall replied: "If you are also a person without a long-term vision, how can I consider you? After all, I don't want a pure businessman to be in charge of the club. That way I love  Newcastle United will become a tool for making money."

    "Football is also a business for me." Pei Wei said with a smile: "But I will not use the club as a tool. There are many ways to make money. The best way is to make money while achieving results."

    "Haha, you're right." Hall laughed happily: "I have always thought so, so I chose you."

    "Then, let's get back to business." Pei Wei put down his cup: "I need the shares in your hands so that I can propose an acquisition."

    "Yes, I can give you 20%." Hall said without blinking.

    "You are kidding." Pei Wei said softly.

    "No, Pei, according to the rules of the stock trading market, you can make an acquisition as long as you own 30% of the stocks and after owning the 20% I transferred to you, you will become the second largest shareholder.  As the second largest shareholder of the Hall family, Sheffield will only be ranked third. As long as I agree, you can become the chairman of Newcastle United. Isn't this our purpose?" Hall said in surprise.

    "That's your purpose, but it's not my purpose." Pei Wei lit up a cigarette: "I need to completely control the entire club to bring Newcastle United back to glory I don't want to waste time on shareholders  At the conference, do you understand?¡±

    "How is that possible!" Hall shouted: "I can't hand over Newcastle to others rashly"

    "Then why don't you continue to be the chairman of the club? Instead, you take a behind-the-scenes approachPoor Sheffield, although he is the nominal chairman of Newcastle, but his every move is seen by you, do you think he  When it doesn¡¯t work, I will find someone else to replace him I don¡¯t want you to replace me like this one day.¡±

    "As long as the club is developing well, how can I do this"

    Hall was only halfway through what he said when he was interrupted by Pei Wei: "But a club cannot always have smooth sailing. 'Today we take a small step back, and tomorrow we will take a big step forward.' Maybe you don't have this sentence."  I've heard of it, but I can tell you what it means. It means that before we win, we may have to suffer defeat first, but I don't want you to get impatient and poke me behind me when I'm facing these failures that I'm prepared for.  I'll give you a knife!"

    "How much do you want?" Hall asked calmly.

    "All, everything in your hand, fifty-one-six percent." Pei Wei reported a number.

    "Do you want to drive the Hall family out of Newcastle United?" Hall stood up suddenly: "I can't accept this! And even if I give you all the stocks, you can't reach 100% control of the club.  Seventy-five!¡±

    "But I was the largest shareholder at that time, and there will always be a chance to reach this number." Pei Wei said.

    "No, no." Hall shook his head repeatedly: "This is impossible!"

    "Then I can only say sorry." Pei Wei stood up: "After I went back, I sold all the stocks in my hands. Although some of them were bought at a price of more than eighty pence, most of them were bought at a price of more than eighty pence.  I only paid for part of it for less than seventy pence Maybe I can still make a fortune by then I don't want to spend a billion dollars like Sky TV to become the club's largest shareholder with no real power.  , and then watching the stocks I bought with a lot of money slowly depreciate in my hands That's what a fool does. Maybe I should look for it.Mr. Bates of Elsie?  I heard that he also wants to sell Chelsea. Although I don't like the air in London, Chelsea's strength is not worse than Newcastle.  "

    Pei Wei put on his coat, looked at Hall who was sitting blankly and said, "Sir, please think about my conditions. I succeeded in Yunjia Tianyu because I alone had the final say. There were many things that no one was optimistic about at the time."  It turned out to be the magic touch for my success Do you really love Newcastle United? So why don't you take the risk?"
