703 The Weirdest Boss in History(2/2)
The window time left for him is running out, he must get it done as soon as possible.
Middle Eastern tycoons such as Qatar and Abu Dhabi have been buying and selling in Europe in recent years, taking advantage of the opportunity to buy at the bottom.
Whether it is acquiring Manchester United or Paris Saint-Germain, it is all to build momentum for the future World Cup.
It can be seen from the Glazer family's quotation that Manchester United only quoted 1.6 billion pounds now, but when Gao Shen traveled through time, Manchester United's performance had plummeted, but the Glazer family still quoted 4 billion pounds.
This is how much Premier League teams have risen.
To put it simply, if Gao Shen buys a team, establishes a foothold in the Premier League, operates it for a few years, and then sells it, he can earn several times the price difference.
Of course, it is probably unrealistic to sell him for such a sky-high price as Manchester United.
You know, the sponsorship contract currently carried by Manchester United is worth 81 million pounds a year. Recently, it has cooperated with the famous logistics company DHL, which is another seven-figure sponsorship contract.
This accounts for a large part of Manchester United's annual revenue of 350 million euros.
It is worth mentioning that the current club with the highest revenue in the world is Real Madrid, which has reached 440 million euros, while Barcelona has reached 400 million euros.
Manchester City ranks eleventh in the rankings, but this is also the most controversial, because everyone knows that most of Manchester City's income comes from sponsorship in the Middle East. Otherwise, how can Blue Moon support such a huge lineup?
The British media generally reported on the acquisition of Manchester United by the Qatari royal family, but did not attract too much attention.
Perhaps it's because reporters from these media outlets basically know that there are no horoscopes yet.
Gao Shen and Su Qing did not contact Ken Bates because of this, but put it aside for the time being.
On the contrary, the intermediary broker Cash Harris called Su Qing, and the general meaning was to ask her if she had any ideas, but Su Qing still insisted on fifteen million pounds and would not let go.
As for what Ken Bates thinks, Gao Shen has no way of knowing.
In a few days, if there is still no progress, Su Qing will return to the country to deal with the matter of resignation. When she returns to the UK, she will release some news through the bank in the City of London, contact other clubs, and exert some pressure.
It will then depend on whether Ken Bates is willing to lower the price.
And Gao Shen is also mentally prepared. If he really can't reach an agreement, he will simply buy another team.
He doesn't have to buy Leeds United anyway.
