    On June 20, the Chinese businessman's acquisition of Newcastle United shares, which has been a hot topic in the UK recently, came to a final conclusion. Newcastle United's current chairman Sheppard announced that after a collective resolution by the board of directors, he and other shareholders  A total of 32.7% of the shares owned were transferred to St. James Capital Company at a price of 100 pence per share. At this point, Pei Wei owned all the shares of Newcastle United - other shareholders prepared in Sheppard  After transferring the shares, they knew that their persistence had no meaning, and they could only turn the shares in their hands into useless paper - as long as Pei Wei announced the privatization of the club, their shares would be worthless.

    Originally, Pei Wei only needed to acquire all the shares in Shepard's hands to reach 90%, because the other shareholders combined were less than 10%, but Shepard insisted on either acquiring all of them, or all of them.  No acquisition - His persistence made Pei Wei awe-inspiring. After all, at this time, he could still consider other shareholders, which in itself has proved his quality.

    "He is a good man." Pei Wei sighed and said to Hall. Hall nodded: "Yes, he is a good man, but he has no ability In 1997, I only noticed the former point, but not the latter point.  Pei, I know you are a capable person, can you realize the dream of me and Shepard? The championship, what we want is just the championship.¡±

    "I can only assure you that Newcastle will go on a more correct path After all, the game cannot be completely controlled But I am sure that within two years, at least one championship will be won."

    "That would be great, no matter what championship it is" Hall rubbed his hands excitedly: "The era when Newcastle did not have a championship has been too long. Even I can't recall the excitement when I won the championship."

    "I will do it." Pei Wei showed a smile: "In the next few years, Newcastle fans will definitely be able to relive that mood"

    ***************************************

    "It has been three days since Pei, a businessman from China, acquired Newcastle All English fans are paying attention to the second group that has successfully acquired a Premier League club in the eleven-year history of the Premier League and it is not Fulham.  The influence is limited to local teams, but to Newcastle, which has a long history and has the most supporters in the entire British continent I think both Newcastle fans and supporters of other teams are very interested in this Chinese.  Now, let¡¯s interview the current owner of Newcastle, Pei from China.¡±

    After the local Newcastle TV reporter said a few words to the camera, he immediately turned around and hurriedly caught up with Pei Wei, who had just walked out of No. 14 Tyne Street, where the Newcastle club is located, and stretched out his microphone: "Mr. Pei.  , I am a reporter from Newcastle TV station. I hope to have a brief interview with you. I wonder if you have time"

    Pei Wei stopped and replied with a smile: "Why notI'd be happy to."

    The reporter didn¡¯t expect Pei Wei to agree so readily.  He made a gesture to the cameraman behind him, and the cameraman immediately pointed the camera at Pei Wei. Then the reporter began to ask: "Peican I call you that? Thank you, as a successful businessman,  What factors prompted you to invest in the acquisition of Newcastle Football Club?"

    "Yes, I am a businessman, but I am also a fan In China, I also own a football club for nearly ten years. During this time, I poured all my heart and soul into that club.  It also made me interested enough in buying a club in Europe, and I chose the Premier League because it has unlimited potential and a good environment," Pei Wei replied with a smile.

    ??Obviously this sentence was very useful to this English reporter. After all, it is also a very honorable thing for people from other countries to praise their country's league for how well it is run.  So his next question seemed much softer: "Then why did you choose Newcastle? After all, this team has not won any honors for forty-three years."

    "It is true, but it is more challenging, isn't it? Newcastle has a long history and nobility, but also has the largest fan group in England. They are loyal, kind and have a unique personality that is deeply rooted in their hearts.  It attracted me, so I chose Newcastle. It is a pity that such a long-established team has not won a championship for a long time. My purpose is to make up for this regret."  Wei is already familiar with it.

    "You have obtained all the shares of Newcastle United. What is your next step? Are you planning to make Newcastle private and withdraw from the London trading market?" The reporter asked the third question."This is of course. In fact, for football clubs, going public is not a good choice. It may not be able to raise much funds from the market. On the contrary, it will be greatly restricted For example, investment in the transfer market is  It cannot exceed the income, which is obviously not enough. Only after the club becomes private can I invest enough money in the transfer market." Pei Wei replied with a smile: "In fact, I have started to do so, maybe today.  Newcastle will be out of the London trade in the evening."

    "So how much do you plan to invest? Will there be a big purge within the team?" The reporter keenly discovered the meaning of Pei Wei's words. In fact, this is also the topic that concerns the fans the most.

    "Investment? It probably won't be less than the money I used to acquire Newcastle As for purging, I don't agree with this word. Newcastle is a team participating in the Champions League, so the players must also meet the status and strength of championship-level players.  The deficient players will be transferred out, and the ones left behind will be the best. The players I want will only be the best." Pei Wei said lightly: "Of course, in order to achieve this goal, I will also introduce some.  Excellent player.¡±

    The reporter opened his mouth wide, of course, more because of Pei Wei's previous sentence - you must know that Pei Wei has spent more than 100 million pounds to acquire the entire Newcastle United club. If so much money is invested in the transfer market,  , how much turmoil that will cause in the European transfer market!

    Buying players worth 100 million pounds - that will be two Zidane or two and a half Vieri and a little more than two Figo - what a concept!  It seems that no team in the history of the Premier League has invested so much money in one season, and few have even reached half of it!

    "Are you telling the truth? One hundred million pounds invested in the transfer market?" The reporter who came back to his senses asked eagerly.

    "That's right, 100 million." Pei Wei said with a smile: "Maybe you don't know me yet but in the future you will understand that I never lie when it comes to football."

    "Then what do you think of Alan Shearer?" The reporter asked another question.

    "He is the banner of Newcastle." Pei Wei understood the reporter's intention: "I'm sure he is in our plan He has always been the most intimidating striker in the Premier League, before and now.  If he wants, he can stay at Newcastle until he retires and I would be very interested to see his 400th official goal, his 300th Premier League goal and his 200th goal for Newcastle  ¡­¡±

    After Pei Wei said this, the reporter understood that the Chinese team was very familiar with Newcastle, or at least Alan Shearer, because at the end of last season and the first half of last season, Shearer scored  He scored his 200th Premier League goal, his 300th official match goal and his 100th goal for Newcastle. Pei Wei just added one hundred to these three numbers just now.  Although this seems unlikely now, after all, Shearer is almost 32 years old, and it is impossible for him to score more than 30 league goals for three consecutive seasons as he did when he was young - this kind of performance is almost unrepeatable.

    After asking a few more questions, the short interview ended. After shaking hands with Pei Wei and saying goodbye, the reporter turned to face the camera and said: "I think from the questions just now, everyone should have a clear understanding of this Newcastle United team."  We have a preliminary understanding of the team's controller What kind of person is he? A wealthy person, a person who loves football, a person who has a deep understanding of Newcastle United, and a person who is willing to invest in the team.  This is Pei Maybe we should put aside his nationality and have greater hope for Newcastle's future. I hope he can save Newcastle from the second division like Sir Hall did in 1992.  Our pride returns to its former glory.¡±

    ***************************************

    This interview was then made into a short film, and the name of the short film was "This is Pei". According to statistics from the local Newcastle TV station, when the short film was broadcast, the ratings increased by 13 percentage points, which is enough to prove  How much the local Newcastle fans care about the new chairman.

    "Well, it seems I'm quite photogenic. Do I look like a middle-aged version of Marlon Brando?" Pei Wei was also watching the short film next to the TV. His narcissistic words made Hall turn the page.  Rolling his eyes: "But the name of this short film is good, 'This is Pei'. I like this name. It is the best introduction to me."

    "You should know that successfully acquiring the club is only the first step." Hall reminded him from the side.

    "Yes, I know. The next step is to announce that the club is privately owned, and then to prepare for the new season Mr. Hall, I am not unfamiliar with these things at all. You know,"At Yunjia Tianyu, I was personally responsible for all important transfers.  "Pei Wei shrugged his shoulders and said.
