"Is it going well?"

In the hotel, Tom Cruise, who had just arrived, saw Ronan and Will Smith, and immediately asked: "I heard that a strong competitor has come."

Will Smith said in a very exaggerated tone: "A super consortium with assets exceeding one trillion yuan."

Tom Cruise sighed: "Those countries, the underground are all US dollars."

Ronan shrugged and said, "What can I do if the country where oil is cheaper than water?"

"We can't compare with money," Tom Cruise asked. "We can beat the Abu Dhabi consortium."

Ronan smiled: "Tom, this is Britain, not the Middle East."

Will Smith responded: "Chief Mansour, the Abu Dhabi consortium's residence in London is being surrounded by Manchester United fans for protest."

Tom Cruise nodded slightly: "It seems you have done a lot of work?"

Ronan said: "I will arrange an exclusive interview with you and Will tomorrow."

Will Smith said: "Don't worry, it's easy for us to deal with this."

How to win public support and win public favor is the basic skill of celebrities to settle down.

Tom Cruise said again: "I met David in Los Angeles before I came." Seeing Ronan and Will Smith wondering, he quickly explained: "Just David Beckham, the former star of Manchester United."

Ronan nodded slightly: "You said last time that the Beckhams and his wife are going to Los Angeles."

Will Smith asked curiously: "David Beckham is not at Manchester United?"

"Last year, I had a conflict with the head coach and transferred," Tom Cruise said simply: "He is currently playing football in Real Madrid in Spain."

He said to Ronan: "Would you like to let David stand up and say a few words? He has a great influence among Manchester United fans."

"No need." Ronan directly rejected: "Although Beckham has a reason for turning around, he is still a traitor among the hardcore Manchester United fans."

The famous flying boot door made Beckham and Ferguson's master and apprentice turn against each other. Fans originally had a wide sympathy for Beckham, but Beckham's hot girl's wife was very troubled and troubled, which quickly exhausted Beckham's sympathy.

To be honest, whether players support is secondary or not. Manchester United has and only one king at the competitive level, that is Ferguson.

Now, he has obtained Ferguson's support.

Tom Cruise said again: "What do I need to do, just say it."

Ronan waved his hand: "I'll watch for the time being, this is not our war."

With half of the home game, Ronan dares to compete with the wealthy Abu Dhabi consortium.

If it were under the social environment five or six years later, he would have retreated without fighting.

News about the Abu Dhabi consortium and Manchester United quickly spread throughout Europe, attracting more media follow-up reports.

What surprised Ronan was that a French Arab journalist published an article in Le Figaro brought a divine assist.

"I can't understand why the Abu Dhabi consortium's normal business operation attracted so much dissatisfaction among the British? Are the Arabs a poor boy who cannot be put on the table? The so-called adherence to tradition is just an excuse for them to be jealous and immersed in the past."

"The British have nothing left except ridiculous traditions."

"Hey, British, wake up from the glory of the British Empire..."

This report is like a Mars, falling into Fleet Street and the huge powder keg of Manchester United fans, and exploded directly.

Needless to say, the combat effectiveness and smearing ability of the British media are in a state of great enthusiasm. The fan group that surrounded Mansour's mansion has become difficult to control from standing still protesting.

Some fans began to throw miscellaneous items into Chief Mansour's mansion.

With the leader, British football hooligans are hard to control.

The FA is also under tremendous pressure. Many Manchester United fans came to the FA to petition, demanding that the FA intervene.

Everything is moving in a direction that is not conducive to the Abu Dhabi consortium.

At the same time, Tom Cruise and Will Smith accepted exclusive interviews and made a series of solemn promises on TV. Thanks to the huge reputation of the two and the backdrop of a British man who was extremely bad, Anderson did not say that he began to win the support of some Manchester United fans, but he was no longer so excluded.

Manchester, at the meeting of major figures in the shareholders' alliance.

"Can you accept Arabs from the Middle East becoming the masters of the team?"

Milkins, who has a certain influence in the league, shouted loudly: "I can't accept it! Yes, the Arabs have contacted me and even offered a double market price for this share in my hand, but I don't accept it! I rejected them! I don't allow myself to hand over the Manchester United club to the Arabs!"

Someone gave the market price for the shares in Milkins, and Milkins would naturally not be impressed by twice.

Milkins is a fan and a small supermarket owner. Recently, there are some problems with the supermarket's capital flow and urgently needs funds.

After all, he is an adult with family. Football can become his faith, but it is not the whole of life.

There was a roar of echoes in the huge conference room.

Another small shareholder responded: "I heard that some shareholders are hooking up with Arabs. Our shareholder alliance must show its attitude. The current situation is that major shareholders want to sell the shares they have at a good price. Many of us have this idea, and to be honest, I am the same."

The more he spoke, the louder he spoke: "Personally, it is better to sell the shares to the Arabs than to sell them to the Americans. No matter what, they speak English, and Will Smith and Tom Cruise are trustworthy."

Milkins echoed: "The biggest shareholders of the club are Manier and McManus. In addition to being busy with horse racing, these two people are drawing the club's profits and investing in the horses, and even dragging the team down. Such a major shareholder is better than a replacement."

Although these words are biased and incitemental, they are all facts and have won the recognition of most people.

Watkins, who holds the most shares in the shareholders' alliance, just watched and said nothing.

As an investor, he is far less sensitive than fans. Manchester United's shares are commercial investments, of course, whoever pays more to sell them.

There are also many people who have the same idea as him.

People in the shareholders' alliance have more ideas and are no longer as consistent as before...

This temporary alliance is gradually disintegrating.

Although the Abu Dhabi consortium is trying to find ways to make public relations to reverse the situation, the identity of the Arabs is a natural disadvantage that they cannot get rid of in a short period of time.

Manchester United fans boycotted wildly, Fleet Street's full firepower criticized, and everything was moving in a direction that was extremely unfavorable to the Abu Dhabi consortium.

Even Manier and McManus temporarily interrupted their contact with the Abu Dhabi consortium due to huge public pressure.

Fans save themselves. The same scene happened once in Manchester United a few years ago, but that time it was "non-violent non-cooperation", and this time, the scene was out of control.

The FA, which has been silent, finally spoke out and publicly stated that as the most famous and successful football club in the UK, should shareholders carefully consider the feelings of fans when transferring their shares?

The last time, it was the FA that made a statement that terminated the bid for Manchester United by News Corp and Abu Dhabi consortium.

This time, due to the large environment of the Premier League and the need for commercialization, the FA's attitude was much softer than the previous time.

But Ronan's work was not done in vain. At the suggestion of his staff, William handed the pot over to the British industrial and commercial department.

Jefferson's team found the conflict clauses from the current laws one by one and provided them to the FA, which eventually stopped the Abu Dhabi consortium's motion to acquire Manchester United on the grounds that it "defended the public's will."

Arabs are very rich, but in the more than two years since the 9/11 incident occurred, in the context of severely prejudiced Western countries, the rich Arab tyrants could not do whatever they wanted.

The Abu Dhabi consortium had to withdraw. The Manchester United stock price, which had been rising all the way, also experienced a small fluctuation. Ronan took the opportunity to move and once again gained the circulating stocks in the secondary market.

Then, Jefferson took over the fastest speed of Manchester United's well-known director and an important member of the shareholders' league.

In this way, Anderson, who acquired the shell, already has 24% of Manchester United shares. If Manila and McManus are taken over, the shares will exceed 50%.

According to relevant British laws, those who obtain more than half of a company's shares can modify the company's charter and even have the power to dissolve the board of directors.

While Ronan mobilized his strength to gain Manchester United shares, Tom Cruise and Will Smith also continued to show up in high profile, doing everything possible to win the recognition of Manchester United fans.

The Abu Dhabi consortium struggling strategy played a significant role. After having an extremely repulsive and poor potential acquirer, Manchester United fans no longer repulsed the acquisition group that spoke English and had two public figures as guaranteed.

On the other hand, Jefferson's negotiations with Manier and McManus also made progress. After the Abu Dhabi consortium was forcibly withdrawn, Anderson acquired nearly 30% of the Manchester United shares of the two for 170 million pounds.

At this point, Anderson completed its holdings in Manchester United, and combined with other income, the holdings immediately rose to 61% with an absolute advantage.

At this stage, Manchester United club has changed hands.

Subsequently, Korver and Jefferson submitted a formal full acquisition application to the London Stock Exchange Centre on behalf of Anderson.

Another major shareholder of Manchester United, Scottish mining giant Dobson, decided to "follow the flow" and sell 6% of its shares to Anderson.

By the time Ronan and the other two left London in early June, Anderson's Manchester United shares had reached nearly 75%.

But if Manchester United is delisted and becomes a privatized club, there is still a lot of work to be done.

According to relevant UK business regulations, as long as the holding reaches 90%, all shares of Manchester United can be bought out forcibly, thereby achieving privatization of the club.
