Mr. Chen accepted the quotation relayed by Sun Jihai under pressure, and then begged Sun Jihai to help show weakness to Li Mu, hoping that Li Mu would have enough power to let him go in front of public opinion.
Li Mu didn't give him a step up because of his compromise. In his opinion, it was necessary for Mr. Chen to be ruined and to set an example for future profiteers.
When Mr. Chen saw that Li Mu was unwilling to let him go, he couldn't wait to declare to the outside world that he had some misunderstandings with the Manchester City club in the communication of information, and he had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to rip him off.
However, his explanation was useless at this time. The people had already determined that he was a complete profiteer. Even if he finally gave up the extortion, in the eyes of the people, the reason why he did so was entirely due to pressure, so he was essentially Li is still a complete profiteer.
After Li Mu handed over all Dong Fanzhuo's subsequent contracts to the CEO of Manchester City Club for follow-up processing, he was ready to call his parents to report his whereabouts.
The phone call was made directly to my mother. The first thing Li mother said after receiving the call was to tease Li Mu: "Oh, my son showed up unexpectedly. I thought you lost him."
Li Mu laughed and said, "Mom, you are really good at joking. Where is my dad?"
Mother Li snorted and said, "Mom is not joking with you. You have disappeared all over the world all day long. People always give birth to sons. I think I put up a satellite."
Li Mu hurriedly laughed along and said: "Mom, you are becoming more and more humorous now, hahaha. Once the satellite is put up, it will not come back. Your son is so lucky that he comes back often."
"Really?" Li Ma asked, "Have you returned to Yanjing?"
"I'm back. I just arrived not long ago."
Mother Li asked again: "When will you go home?"
Li Mu said hurriedly: "Go to the company tomorrow to deal with some things. Try to get it done within two or three days, and then I will go back to accompany you and dad."
"Oh, two or three days." Mother Li deliberately extended her voice and said, "Mr. Li, you are free for two or three days, but we are not free."
Li Mu quickly asked: "Mom, are you and dad going out of town?"
"Yes." Li Ma said, "We have business to discuss. Let's go to Ningcheng to talk about an agent."
"How many days are you going to go?"
"Maybe." Li Ma laughed and said, "Three to five days if it's early, seven or eight days if it's late."
"Oh my god, why does the agent want to negotiate for so long?"
Li's mother said: "It only takes a day or two to discuss business. The main reason is that your father and I plan to go to Hangzhou."
"Going to Hangzhou? Traveling?"
"That's right. Ziqiu's mother called and invited us to come over and hang out. I agreed."
Li Mu said, "Then I'll go to Hangzhou to meet you and dad."
"Why are you going? I didn't invite you." Li Ma deliberately quarreled with Li Mu.
Li Mu said awkwardly: "I can come and visit you even if you don't invite me!"
Mother Li asked in a serious tone: "Do you keep your word?"
"Forget it!" Li Mu hurriedly expressed his stance.
Only then did Li Ma say with satisfaction: "Okay, Mom will wait for you in Hangcheng. Your dad and I will take a flight early the day after tomorrow, go to Ningcheng to sign the contract, and then go to Hangcheng that afternoon. Thank you, Auntie, for sending a car." catch."
Li Mu hurriedly asked: "Would it be better for me to go to Ningcheng or Hangcheng?"
Li's mother said disgustedly: "Your father and I are going to Ningcheng for serious business, so don't come and cause trouble for us. When the time comes, you can go directly to Hangcheng!"
Li Mu had no choice but to say: "Okay, then I will go directly to Hangzhou the day after tomorrow."
After seeing Li Mu's promise, Li Ma was satisfied and said to him: "Then your father and I will wait to see you in Hangzhou. If we can't see you, I will really treat you as a satellite from now on." ”
Li Mu hurriedly said: "Mom, don't worry, your son is not a satellite, he is a kite. Just pick up the end of the rope and your son will be back..."
After finally making his mother happy, Li Mu hung up the phone and began to plan his time.
I have to go to Hangzhou in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, which means that I only have tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and half the day after tomorrow to work.
I really have a lot of things going on at the moment. Tomorrow I have to go to the company to book a team to go to the UK, and then decide on the preparation plan for the launch of UK 3321. Then I also want to learn about the recent progress of Makino Technology and Taobao. The Gubei Water Town project has started. Now, the film and television base project has entered the final approval process among the three places. We still need to go to Wanying to have a good chat with Chen Ze, Song Liang and Wei Lan.
While planning his work, Li Mu suddenly received a call from Zhao Ziqiu.
As soon as the call was connected, Zhao Ziqiu asked Li Mu in a cautious voice: "What are you doing? I didn't disturb your work, right?"
Li Mu said hurriedly: "No, I just came back from England and I'm at Ziyun Villa."
Zhao Ziqiu said in surprise: "You have returned to Yanjing!" After that, he said with disappointment in his voice: "But I am still in Hangzhou."
Li Mu was about to say that he would go to Hangzhou the day after tomorrow, when Zhao Ziqiu said: "My mother asked me to call you and ask if you have time to come to Hangzhou in two days. Because she invited her uncle and aunt to come over, so she wanted to invite You come too."
Li Mu blurted out: "Okay, then I'll go there the day after tomorrow, do you think that's okay?"
"Really?!" Zhao Ziqiu didn't expect that Li Mu agreed immediately without even a second of hesitation, his voice filled with excitement and disbelief.
Li Mu said: "Of course it's true, it's settled, I'll be there the day after tomorrow in the afternoon."
"That's great!" Zhao Ziqiu said, "You come to Hangzhou to stay for a few days. If you go back to Yanjing, I will go back with you."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you back with me when the time comes."
Zhao Ziqiu said in a sweet voice: "If my dad doesn't allow it, you have to say something nice to him, otherwise he's afraid he will make me stay at home until school starts."
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will apply to uncle."
Zhao Ziqiu said: "It's not about applying, it's about fighting for it. You have to be more proactive and have a tougher attitude."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, if Uncle Zhao doesn't agree, I will take him by force."
Zhao Ziqiu chuckled: "It's best if you have this determination!"
…
While Li Mu and Zhao Ziqiu were talking on the phone, Britain, which was seven hours behind China, had already started a new day of work.
Manchester City and Manchester United, two clubs that are very close to each other, also started a day of daily training.
Sir Alex Ferguson didn't sleep well last night. All he could think about was how to deal with someone trying to trigger Cristiano Ronaldo's liquidated damages clause.
Last night, the news that Li Mu acquired the Manchester City team really shocked him. He almost immediately concluded that the club that was preparing to poach Ronaldo with liquidated damages clause was this Manchester City, which was only a few kilometers away from him.
David Gill, CEO of Manchester United, did not expect that the team next door, which had never been very successful, would suddenly become Li Mu's private property. Based on this, Manchester City's rise will definitely be very fast. It won't be long before it. During the city derby, he was going to be pressed to the ground and rubbed, right
Before hearing the news last night, he thought that if Ronaldo was sold, he would just sell it. At least he would make a lot of money, which was considered a very good deal. However, after the news was announced, he thought of buying Ronaldo. Maybe it was Manchester City. The discomfort in my heart was not much worse than Ferguson.
If another Premier League team spends 25 million pounds to buy Ronaldo, he can take credit from the board of directors and say, look, we hired a player and made more than 10 million pounds in half a month. Am I awesome? of
Now, the result he may face is that the board of directors points to his nose and yells: "Are you crazy? Why did you agree to a contract with a liquidated damages clause? Now our future hope has been bought by Manchester City. , where will we put our faces in future intra-city derbies?"
Ferguson himself is a cunning old fox. In order to drag David Gill into the water, he called George Macmillan early this morning, the one who hated Li Mu the most in the Macmillan family.
Ferguson is also a British aristocrat, and Haolai is also a second-tier KBE, so he has a wide network of contacts in the upper class and is well-informed.
He had long known that George Macmillan was beaten up by Li Mu in public for pretending to be cowardly with Li Mu at the Goldberg family salon, and was also savaged by Prince William. He was humiliated. He didn't need to think about it. This guy must hate Li Mu like crazy.
He was originally a member of the board of directors of Manchester United, and he paid close attention to the development of Manchester United, and even came to watch Ronaldo train. Therefore, if he knew about the hope of Manchester United in the future and was about to be poached by Manchester City, he would definitely be extremely angry, and We will definitely work together to find a way to keep Ronaldo.
His influence is far less than his. If he takes action, the possibility of retaining Ronaldo will be greater.
After George Macmillan learned the news, he was furious as Ferguson suspected.
He even yelled angrily on the phone: "Li Mu never wants to buy any players from Manchester United! Not only that, we also want to invest more! An additional 50 million pounds! No matter what, we must not let Li Mu's Manchester City team surpass us in strength." !”
After being violently beaten by Li Mu, George Macmillan dreamed of finding a chance to take revenge, but after thinking about it for so long, he didn't know if he had any chance to take revenge. After all, Li Mu was far stronger than him in all aspects, and he couldn't find anyone at all. A viable entry point.
Unexpectedly, before he could take revenge on Li Mu, Li Mu actually entered the Premier League and bought a club in the same city as him. This was really too damn pretentious!
If his Manchester City team really rises and then beats Manchester United into chaos, wouldn't he be beaten by Li Mu again
Nothing can be done to make him succeed!
First of all, nothing can make him take away Ronaldo!
Li Mu, do you want to take away Ronaldo? Unless you step over my corpse!
Thinking of this, George McMillan immediately called an executive of the Football Association and told him: "Keep an eye on Manchester City in the near future. I don't want to see them buy anything before the summer transfer window closes." A new player!”
