"Manchester City?!"
Dong Fangzhuo was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had a high chance of signing with Manchester United, and Manchester United was much better than Manchester City and was a veteran team in the Premier League. He really couldn't arouse any real interest in his heart.
After being stunned for more than ten seconds, he said with a bit of embarrassment: "Brother Hai, Manchester United is currently talking to the club and wants me to join them. It is estimated that the decision will be made soon..."
Sun Jihai said hurriedly: "I know Manchester United wants you, but it hasn't been decided yet! But if you are willing to come to Manchester City, we can confirm it for you immediately!"
Dong Fangzhuo asked in confusion: "Brother Hai, do Manchester City also want to sign me?"
"Yes!" Sun Jihai blurted out: "Do you know who the new boss of Manchester City is?"
"I don't know..." Dong Fanzhuo said embarrassedly: "I don't know much about the Premier League teams. The ones I'm more familiar with are Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool. And even for Manchester United, I don't know. Who is their boss?"
Sun Jihai said with a trembling voice: "The new owner of Manchester City is Li Mu, the chairman of Makino Technology, a Chinese native!"
"Li Mu?" Dong Fanzhuo said in surprise: "Really or not? Li Mu bought the Manchester United team?"
"It's absolutely true!" Sun Jihai said excitedly: "I just met with Li Mu an hour ago. He came to the club, held a meeting with us, and told us that he has now fully acquired the Manchester City Club and has become a club. The only owner of the club also told me that he is very interested in you and hopes that you can join Manchester City."
"Oh my God!" Young Dong Fanzhuo exclaimed, "Why would Li Mu think of buying a club?"
Sun Jihai said: "I don't know why, but he did buy the Manchester City club, and he specifically mentioned you to me and said he hoped you could join, so I called you."
After that, Sun Jihai said again: "You must think about this matter carefully. Don't think that Manchester United is better than Manchester City now, so you think Manchester United is better. Manchester City has Li Mu's funds and resources, and it will be a matter of time before it surpasses Manchester United. Moreover, if you go to Manchester United, you will definitely have to be loaned to other leagues in the first year to get a labor certificate, but when you come to Manchester City, Li Mu can help you get a labor certificate, so that you can play in the Premier League directly after you come."
Dong Fangzhuo was a little excited when he heard that, and said: "Manchester United is indeed going to play in other leagues for at least one year, or even two years. They are considering letting me go to Antwerp in Belgium."
After that, he asked Sun Jihai: "Brother Hai, can Li Mu really get my labor certificate?"
Sun Jihai did not answer his question, but asked instead: "Do you think a mere labor certificate can trouble someone like Li Mu?"
Dong Fangzhuo murmured to himself: "This is quite..."
Sun Jihai advised: "Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Chinese players, and even Asian players, will be discriminated against in Europe. Whether in Antwerp or Manchester United, you will definitely feel very lonely, and the tolerance is too poor, but If you come to Manchester City, Li Mu will definitely give you the best environment. You have to know that you are the player he wants!"
Dong Fangzhuo is completely attracted by this moment. He is not old and his English is not good, so while he is looking forward to the development of going to the Premier League, he is also afraid of traveling across the ocean to a foreign country alone. Now a good opportunity has come, and he is also going to the Premier League. , but he can go to a club owned by a Chinese owner, and the owner of this club even named him to join. If he goes to Manchester City, his life in the future will be much easier.
Thinking of this, Dong Fanzhuo immediately said: "Brother Hai, I will communicate with my parents, the club, and the agent tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Sun Jihai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, I'll wait for you at the Manchester City Club!"
Dong Fanzhuo hung up the phone after thanking him for a while, and never fell asleep again.
Like all young people, he also admires Li Mu's extraordinary achievements and aspires to be as famous as he is around the world and to win glory for the country internationally. Although he does not have the business talent of Li Mu, he does have extraordinary talents in football. With the advantages of ordinary people, if you can get help and support from Li Mu in Li Mu's club, your development path will definitely be smoother.
…

The viewers who got up early in the morning to watch TV were the first people in China to be bombarded by these two blockbuster news. At first, they did not understand what it meant that Li Mu was awarded the honorary title by the Queen of England. But when the news explained in detail that the British After learning about the level of honors and how rare and precious GBE is, the people finally understood that what Li Mu received was the highest level of recognition from the British royal family, and this recognition had never been given to any businessman or anyone. People under fifty.
Li Mu is the first to do so.
Just the fact of being awarded the GBE made Li Mu break countless historical records, and he was indeed very proud of the Chinese people.
Then, Li Mu bought Manchester City Club without any secret, which also surprised the public. This was the first time that a Chinese businessman invested in a football club overseas. In China, where the level of football and business development is relatively backward, Li Mu's move , giving the public a lot of room for imagination.
Why does Li Mu want to buy a Premier League club? Is he going to enter the football market
The Chinese football market is still lagging behind. Will Li Mu enter Chinese football in the future

Or, will he let more Chinese football players take this opportunity to develop in Europe

Before Li Mu, many people had received such titles, such as Cheng Long and Li Xiaolong. However, the difference between them and Li Mu was that the scope of their influence was too narrow compared with Li Mu.
…
During the summer vacation, Zhao Ziqiu stayed in Hangzhou and lived a boring life.
Li Mu is not around. Her parents leave early and come back late every day, so they don't have much time to spend with her. She doesn't like to go out to party with her old friends, so she stays at home doing nothing every day.
After getting up this morning, Zhao Ziqiu did his usual routine of washing up, and then went downstairs to have breakfast with his long unkempt hair. When he arrived at the restaurant, his parents had not left yet. His father was wearing glasses and reading the newspaper with a serious expression, while his mother was Rarely, I brought my laptop into the restaurant and looked at something carefully in front of the computer.
"Mom and Dad, you two didn't eat early in the morning. What are you studying?"
Zhao Ziqiu rarely sees his parents like this. According to their daily habits, after they get up and get dressed, they will go to the restaurant to eat. They will not fiddle with their mobile phones or read newspapers while eating. The family will concentrate on finishing the meal. The two of them would ride to the company together, and Dad's daily newspaper reading time would be fixed on the way from home to the company.
Zhao Xianliang is the most typical entity entrepreneur in China. He is very similar to entrepreneurs like Wang Jianlin. The biggest thing they have in common is that they have strong self-discipline, have a special sense of time, and know how to maximize the use of time.
Therefore, ever since his business improved and he got his own car, until now, he has only read newspapers in the car for so many years.
Today was an exception. Not only did he read the newspaper in the restaurant, but more importantly, the breakfast in front of him remained untouched.
Zhao Xianliang raised his head, saw Zhao Ziqiu, and said to her naturally: "Eat quickly, it will get cold later."
Halfway through his words, he lowered his head again and focused on the newspaper.
Xie Yun on the side was even more outrageous. She didn't hear Zhao Ziqiu's voice at all. While staring at the computer screen carefully, she said intently: "Old Zhao, there is another piece of news that has been ignored by the media. When Li Mu was received by the Queen of England, , proposed to launch the 3321 UK station, do you know who will be the person in charge of the operation after the 3321 UK station is launched?"
Zhao Xianliang blurted out and asked: "Who is it?"
Xie Yun said: "It's Prince William of the British royal family. He is about the same age as Li Mu and is the second-in-line crown prince."
After that, Xie Yun added: "I took a look at the English version of Twitter, and I feel that Li Mu seems to be intending to use Twitter and other resources in his hands to build momentum for William. William's Twitter style has also changed very quickly, and now half of it They are all putting forward personal suggestions for optimizing the current education system in the UK. I looked forward and found that the time when this kind of content started to be pushed was just when the Queen met with Li Mu. It seems that Li Mu is now interested in helping the royal family package Prince William. .”
"Tsk tsk..." Zhao Xianliang held his chin and clicked his tongue, sighing: "No wonder the British royal family gave Li Mu the GBE medal for the first time. It turns out that they are using this to pave the way for the prince's future!"
Xie Yun nodded and said: "This move of the royal family is really clever. They used proactive goodwill and a costless honor to exchange resources from Li Mu."
Zhao Xianliang smiled and said: "I think it is Li Mu who is very clever. This series of combination punches is Li Mu's standard style at first glance. The British royal family knows more about the Internet than Li Mu, and they will never come up with this method of operation."
Xie Yun nodded in agreement: "That makes sense."
Zhao Ziqiu originally wanted to be coquettish with his mother and complain about her ignoring him, but when he heard them discussing Li Mu, he immediately walked around the dining table and came behind the two of them, asking eagerly: "Mom, Li Mu did it again What's the big deal?"
Only then did Xie Yun realize that her daughter had arrived. She turned to look at her, sighed and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of monster your boyfriend is. It feels like the whole world can be plotted by him."
Zhao Ziqiu pulled up the chair, sat down next to her obediently, and said coquettishly: "Mom, tell me, what did Li Mu do again?"
Xie Yun did not answer her, but said to herself: "Fortunately, I just called Li Mu's mother yesterday morning and invited her to hang out in Hangzhou. If I called her today, people would definitely think that my motives were impure. "
Zhao Xianliang on the side asked hurriedly: "Then did she agree?"
"I agreed." Xie Yun nodded with a smile and said, "The main reason is that she was about to go to Ningcheng to sign a contract with a clothing company, so she temporarily decided to come to Hangzhou after signing the contract. I told her that we would wait for After her time is set, I will send a driver to Ningcheng to pick her up."
Zhao Xianliang said: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Xie Yun said casually: "The time has not been set yet, and there may still be many variables. I have been helping you for so many years, when have I ever let you worry about something that is not certain?"
Zhao Xianliang laughed and sighed: "The greatest success of my life, Mr. Zhao, is to marry a good wife!"
Xie Yun curled her lips and smiled, and said proudly: "You are self-aware."
Zhao Ziqiu looked at the two of them with a depressed expression and complained: "You two only know how to flirt, and you haven't told me what Li Mu did until now."
Zhao Xianliang smiled and handed the newspaper over and said, "It's written in great detail. You can read it yourself."
Zhao Ziqiu hurriedly took the newspaper. When he saw that the front page was about Li Mu, he immediately read it carefully, line by line.
Zhao Xianliang asked Xie Yun at this time: "By the way, Li Mu's mother went to Ningcheng to sign the contract. Will Li Mu's father come?"
Xie Yun said: "His mother seems to mean that they might come together, but she is not sure yet."
Zhao Xianliang nodded and said: "It would be great if both his parents came over. We will entertain them to stay at home for a few more days. In my opinion, Li Mu should be returning to China soon. By then, we can let him fly to Hangzhou directly. Living at home, the two families just talked about the two children."
Xie Yun hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly: "Isn't it too early? Li Mu's parents may not want him to fall in love now. It might be self-defeating."
Zhao Xianliang thought for a while and felt that what his wife said made sense, so he said: "Then we should try to get Li Mu to come over as well. Let's not mention the matters between the children. It is also good for the two families to be more familiar with each other."
