"It's really good. If you have a good team, this business operation plan will come in handy," said the Duke of Bedford.

"Of course, Lord Duke, so I chose Arsenal Football Club." Li Zhiwen said.

"Manchester United and Liverpool are also good," said the Duke of Bedford.

"I know they are all very good football clubs, but Duke, you know that I haven't been in the UK for a long time, and most of the time I'm in London, Manchester and Liverpool are too far from London, so I chose Arsenal Football Club in total," Li Zhiwen asked.

"What's going on with the Gris Fund? What's going on with the 20% stake?" The Duke of Bedford finally asked the most critical question.

"Dude, how do you say that, I came to the UK and hit it off with Gris at first sight. In addition, I plan to acquire the team, and Gris is an Arsenal fan, so I had the idea of ​​acquiring Arsenal Football Club. As for the name of the fund, I just thought about it." Li Zhiwen said nonsense.

"What about the 20% stake?" asked the Duke of Bedford.

"Wiow, this is very simple. I plan to hire Gris as the general manager of Arsenal Football Club. The acquisition of Arsenal Football Club is the most important project of Gris Fund, so I am giving the employees shares." Li Zhiwen continued to whisper.

"Since that's the case, the 20% stake is too small. I think 51% is just right. I can contribute to the remaining shares for Gris." The Duke of Bedford said with a smile.

"My Duke, that's impossible. The company must be under my control." Li Zhiwen said firmly.

At this time, Grace Russell walked out of the kitchen, holding the coffee in his hand and said, "Dad, Carl, what are you talking about about company shares? I heard it as soon as I left the kitchen door."

Gris Russell put the coffee in front of Li Zhiwen and Duke Bedford, and then saw the plan in front of Duke Bedford, picked it up curiously and asked, "What is this?"

Then Gris Russell looked through it. First of all, Gris Russell was disgusted by the front plan. She glanced briefly and said, "Carl, I don't agree with this plan. How can I occupy 20% of the company's shares without paying a penny? Besides, what the hell is this name?"

"Gris, I plan to become the general manager after acquiring Arsenal Football Club, and you have to contribute to the acquisition plan," Li Zhiwen asked.

"I don't agree. I was originally an employee of the company. Acquiring Arsenal Football Club is my project. How can I ask for shares? Besides, you don't need so many shares as a general manager. You are my savior. It's time for me to help you for free. How can I ask for your shares?" said Gris Russell.

Li Zhiwen didn't say anything, took a sip of coffee and said, "Gres, this coffee is a bit bitter. Actually, I am from the East and can't get used to coffee. It's better if there is tea."

The Duke of Bedford immediately understood and said, "Gris, there is a Longjing from China in my study upstairs. It was brought back from China by the former Ambassador to China. You can try it for Carl."

"Oh? Yes, then I have to try it out. Longjing is a famous tea in China." Li Zhiwen said.

Gris Russell looked at Li Zhiwen and Duke Bedford singing together, but he didn't know that the two of them were going to send him away, so he said, "Even if you want to send me away, I won't want it."

After saying that, Gris Russell left the living room and went up the second floor to get tea.

"Carl, you're laughing, Gris is such a person." said the Duke of Bedford.

"I know, Gris is very good. That Duke, let's do it like this." Li Zhiwen said.

"Okay, just do it this way, I will say hello to the Suttons." said the Duke of Bedford.

Li Zhiwen was overjoyed. Of course, he was not happy to win the Arsenal Football Club. In fact, if Li Zhiwen just wanted to acquire a team, he would just acquire Manchester United from the stock market. Why bother to pay millions of pounds to find the Duke of Bedford?

The reason why Li Zhiwen is happy is that as long as there is a first cooperation, there will be a second cooperation. The Duke of Bedford is very capable in the UK and pulled him onto the ship. Many things Li Zhiwen can be dealt with in the UK very quickly.

"Duke, I actually have a bold idea here. This idea is a bit big and needs you to push it." Li Zhiwen said.

"Oh? What do you think?" said the Duke of Bedford.

Since the cooperation has been reached, the Duke of Bedford's attitude has also become much closer.

"That's right. When I was watching the survey report of the English Football League during this period, I felt that there were too many teams in England. There were 92 professional football teams in the English Football League alone, and countless other amateur teams." Li Zhiwen said.

"Yes, the British football culture is very strong. You can ask someone on the street, and you must be a fan of a certain team." The Duke of Bedford said.

"Yes, but the English Football League is too bloated. Even if it is divided into three levels, there is still a high chance of encountering many strong teams vs. weak teams. Such competitions are slow, weak, and there is no suspense. Many stadium tickets cannot be sold."

"I think the top twenty clubs in the English Football League can be formed into one event, which can be called the English Football Super League, abbreviated as the competition between the strong Premier League and the strong team. The pace is fast and the competition is fierce, which can attract many fans to play basketball on the spot."

"Of course, the points relegation of Premier League teams is also linked to the English Football League. The last three places in the last list of each point are reduced to the English Football Champions League, and the remaining 72 football clubs can be exactly 24 teams per level. What do you think?" Li Zhiwen asked.

"This idea is so good. In the past, when I went to Arsenal to watch the game at home, I always saw one-sided games. I felt so sorry for my tickets. If this idea could be realized, I think the ticket price increase would be full of seats." At some point, Gris Russell sat on the sofa.

The Duke of Bedford, who was thinking, was pondering, and Li Zhiwen took Longjing from Gris Russell and made tea.

After a while, the Duke of Bedford said: "Carl, your idea is very good, but there are too many problems involved, just like which twenty clubs can join the Premier League at the beginning."

"Just match, rank by ranking, the top 20 clubs will join the Premier League first." Before Li Zhiwen could speak, Gris Russell said.

"It's not that simple. After so many years of British football, how many wealthy families and how many fans behind the club can speak in all aspects." said the Duke of Bedford.

"Just let the Football Association coordinate with the Football Association League." Gris Russell continued.

"Football and Football Association can make money by lying down. Why do you have to make money by making money by standing up?" said the Duke of Bedford.

At this time, Li Zhiwen said: "Dude, I think we should start with top teams. I believe they have such troubles. Moreover, if our game is fierce, the pace is fast, and there are many strong teams, I believe that the TV station is willing to negotiate with us on broadcast rights. There are many companies who are willing to discuss advertising with the Premier League. As long as we can collect 20 clubs, we will go to the Football Association, Football Association and the English Football League to negotiate with us."

"I think Carl's idea is very good. In this way, we will first win the Arsenal Football Club, and then I will personally lobby other giant teams. As long as I can pull up more than ten teams, this will be successful. And the officials of the Football Association must be willing to help them manage the league." The Duke of Bedford said.

"I'm sorry to ask the Duke for this matter. I think our Premier League can establish Premier League Co., Ltd., which is specially opened for the commercialization of the league. We can follow the NBA and NFL in the early stage." Li Zhiwen said.

Gris Russell, who was standing by, admired Li Zhiwen very much and completely forgot about the shares.
