Chapter 1426 Redefines Football

   For the next period of time, Xia Jingxing personally sat in London, while directing Fu Jixun to speed up the pace of reorganizing Qimonda, while waiting for the good news from Stephen.

   In the middle of the month, the case between Royal Bank of Scotland and two Liverpool shareholders, Gillette and Hicks, finally went to trial.

  London High Court ruled that the plaintiffs Gillette and Hicks lost the case, and the two had no right to interfere with the decision of Royal Bank of Scotland to dispose of the 100% stake in Liverpool Club, the loan pledge.

   This lawsuit has attracted the attention of many die-hard fans who are concerned about the fate of the club. They held high banners with the Liverpool team logo and gathered at the door of the courthouse and shouted slogans.

   Of course, he didn't come to support the two heroes, but to tell them to get out of the club.

In recent years, with the continuous commercialization of European clubs, speculators such as Gillette and Hicks have emerged one after another. They have no money in their pockets. Instead, they acquired football clubs through financial leverage, using empty gloves and white wolves. People and financial skills have turned the club into its own cash cow.

   Some people have succeeded, such as Manchester United's Glazer family.

  Some people have failed, such as the **** duo who lost the lawsuit.

  When the **** duo walked out of the court dejectedly, they were greeted with abuse and curses from the club's fanatical fans.

   I believe that if there were no policemen at the scene, maybe these indignant fans would rush up and beat the two of them.

   Over the past two years since the dog-blood duo entered Liverpool, they have ruined a good Premier League giant, with poor athletic performance, the sale of core players, and the promise of a new stadium that has never been seen...

  In addition to the anger of the fans, they all felt that they had been deceived, and all their grievances were spread on the **** duo.

  The two American businessmen quickly got into the car and slipped away amid the overwhelming boos.

   Stephen, CEO of Royal Bank of Scotland, was treated differently.

   "Mr. Hurst, will the Royal Bank of Scotland convert debt to equity into the host club?"

   "Can you find a good buyer for the team? No matter how good it is, just be better than Abu."

   "Please give priority to local British buyers, Gringos are completely unreliable!"

  …

   A group of fans surrounded Stephen and politely expressed their opinions.

   They all know that Stephen and the Royal Bank of Scotland behind him are the key men who will truly decide the fate of the Liverpool Club, so they didn't dare to offend Stephen at all, so they had to beg the other party with a gentle attitude.

  Stephen smiled and waved to the noisy crowd, "Please everyone be quiet, I have heard your voices and will seriously consider everyone's opinions.

  Liverpool is a club with brilliant achievements and great glory, we will definitely find a new buyer who matches 100% from financial resources to social prestige to public image!

   I have already made some eyebrows, and the answer will be revealed in three days. "

   Having said that, Stephen took big strides and left, leaving behind fans who looked at each other in dismay.

   Listening to this tone, it seems that the background of new buyers is not small!

  …

   three days later.

   A grand press conference was held in the conference hall of the Pullman Hotel next to the Liverpool Arena.

  Xia Jingxing attended the meeting in person and took over the Liverpool Club's equity transfer documents from Stephen.

   At this point, many fan representatives and reporters at the scene realized the deep meaning of what Stephen said three days ago.

  The famous richest man in Asia, founder of Facebook and YouTube, chairman of Vision Capital and Fuxing Industrial Group... Darren Xia can be called a powerful buyer.

   His financial resources, his social prestige and public image are all well matched with the century-old giant Liverpool Club.

  Except for a small number of people who feel that Xia Jingxing is not white and not perfect, most rational fans welcome Xia Jingxing to Liverpool.

As soon as the signing ceremony was over, reporters and fan representatives raised their hands to Xia Jingxing to ask questions.

   "Mr. Xia, your acquisition of Liverpool Club in the name of the family office Daxia Capital this time means that you will run this club for a long time? What positive changes will you bring to this club?"

Facing the reporter's question, Xia Jingxing, who was sitting on the stage, pointed at the microphone and answered loudly: "Yes, in my opinion, sports investment requires patience, and long-term and stable continuous investment is the guarantee of a football club's presence in the arena. A core factor in maintaining excellent grades.

   What positive changes will I bring to this club?

   Good question, I can answer it now, I will redefine the football industry! "

   Redefine football!

   A burst of laughter immediately broke out off the field, but it was not a laugh, but a kind of laughter.

   Anyone who is familiar with Xia Jingxing knows that he will redefine an industry as soon as he disagrees, and all the **** he has blown have come true.

   Starting from redefining social, he has redefines hedge funds, mobile phones and many other industries.

Can    redefine football?

  The fans were dubious.

A fan representative immediately raised his hand, took the microphone and asked: "Daren, I know you are a genius entrepreneur and investor, but football is not a business, what we need is someone who can win the Premier League and the Champions League. Champions Liverpool.

   What you mean by redefining football, can you lead the club to the championship? "

   As soon as these words came out, hundreds of fan representatives and reporters off the court all craned their necks to look at Xia Jingxing, wanting to hear how he would answer.

   "Competitive performance is only a part, redefining football is a very broad concept.

  I want to not only lead Liverpool to a "great renaissance", but also to make it the coolest and most tech-savvy football club in Europe. "

   Before everyone recovered, another reporter immediately asked: "Daren, can you give a detailed introduction to what you said about redefining football?"

   "I just said, this is a very broad concept, and the introduction is only on the surface.

  I implore all fans and journalists here to observe the changes of the team carefully and discover the mysteries, which is more interesting and convincing than my introduction. "

   Xia Jingxing's words were a bit appetizing. The reporters and fans were not satisfied, and they continued to ask questions without giving up, but Xia Jingxing was still holding his pipa and covering his face, refusing to reveal all his plans.

   had no choice, everyone could only give up and continue to take out useful information from Xia Jingxing's mouth.

   Then, the reporter began to ask other questions: "Daren, Daxia Capital also acquired the Golden State Warriors of the NBA League before, and I heard that Daxia Capital intends to build a brand-new multi-purpose stadium for the team.

   Will Anfield Stadium be renovated or expanded after you come to Liverpool? "

   Hearing this, the fans off the court were all looking at Xia Jingxing eagerly, can this new local tyrant fulfill their little wish?

   "Not going to be renovated or expanded."

  The fans were stunned for a moment, is it so straightforward? Don't you have the patience to lie to us?

   Just as the fans were about to flip the table, they heard Xia Jingxing continue: "Didn't the Liverpool City Council approve a piece of land for Liverpool Club in Stanley Park?

  We will take over this land at the same time as we take over the club.

   Next, we plan to hire a top design firm in the industry to redesign the plan and build a stadium in Stanley Park that can accommodate 100,000 spectators. "

  100,000 audience seats! The largest stadium in Europe!

  The fans off the court were all dumbfounded, and when they reacted, they all fell into ecstasy.

   Is this about making Liverpool great again?

   "Is this true? Isn't it an empty check?" A fan representative couldn't wait to grab the microphone from the reporter and asked Xia Jingxing on stage.

   "Didn't I just say that football is to be redefined? There has never been a legendary stadium with a capacity of 100,000 spectators in European history.

   If Liverpool were the first to accomplish this feat, would it be a redefinition of football? "

  The fans nodded, making sense.

  Xia Jingxing paused, and then continued to say impassively: "Last season, Liverpool beat Manchester United 4-1 at Old Trafford, and a few days later beat Real Madrid 4-0 at Anfield.

  Despite the team's hard work, they still lost to Manchester United at the last minute, allowing them to win their 18th league championship trophy amid cheers from all over the UK.

   Manchester United has tied Liverpool in the number of league titles.

  If we go back to 1990, the moment when the Premier League was born two years later, Liverpool held 18 top-flight trophies at that time, while Manchester United only had 7 trophies.

   If someone said that Manchester United would catch up with Liverpool one day, everyone would laugh at him for being crazy.

   But now, Manchester United really did it, catching up with Liverpool.

  Looking back at Liverpool, it has been 20 years since the birth of the Premier League, and it has not won a championship trophy. Is this what a century-old giant should have achieved?

   If it doesn't change, Manchester United will soon be riding on Liverpool's neck.

  I would like to ask everyone here: Can you tolerate being held down by Manchester United? Need Liverpool to redefine football? Is it necessary to fully move towards a great revival? "

   The fanatical fans off the field were completely aroused by Xia Jingxing's agitated speech, and they all answered in unison: "Yes! We need it!"

  Stephen watched all this with a smile, thinking to himself, this Daeron is too demagogic, and he is about to catch up with the style of the mustache.

  The big picture, the unruly Liverpool football hooligans are all docile and obedient, are they going to blitz Manchester United next?
