277 The acquisition is blocked
"I didn't realize until today that fans will always remember those bad things. They will not remember the time when I saved the club in a critical moment, nor will I remember the renovation of the club's training base, nor will the renovation of the court. They will only remember some of the mistakes you made. No matter how much you did, it is not as important as a small mistake! I think I am tired, and I will resign from the position of Chairman Betis and leave this club that I have been fighting for ten years!"
After the interrogation results were announced, Lopela immediately announced through the media that he would resign as chairman of the Betis team.
Immediately afterwards, Betis Club also issued a statement through its official website that Lopela resigned as chairman, while Vice Chairman Martin will be the acting coach!
When Betis fans first heard that Lopela had stepped down, they were excited!
However, some calm fans realized a problem very much!
Although Lopela resigned from the position of chairman, he is still the largest shareholder of Betis Club, and even acting chairman Martin is Lopela's confidant.
In this way, Betis failed to truly escape from Lopela's control!
After figuring this out, a large number of Betis fans gathered outside the club building and called on Lopela to give up Betis' shares!
Some fans even said that as long as Lopela doesn't sell Betis shares in his hands for one day, he will not go to home to watch the game in one day!
This is undoubtedly the final testimony against Lopela!
You know, not going to support the team on the spot is already the ultimate protest for fans!
Soon, Luis Castel, a local real estate businessman in the Seville region, publicly stated that he was interested in purchasing the shares in Lopela!
It is said that he has found some local wealthy people in Seville and formed a acquisition team, which seems to be determined to acquire Betis!
Not long after, it was reported that a Middle Eastern consortium expressed interest in Betis Club.
For a moment, Betis Club became a hot commodity!
...
Tang Feng and Tang Sen's uncle and nephew have also quickly organized an acquisition team. After conducting a detailed evaluation of the club, Tang Sen took his lawyer to privately find Lopela as the club's second shareholder.
Compared with those fanfare acquirers, Tang Sen and Tang Feng are obviously much more low-key!
"Mr. Lopera, we are always acquaintance, so I won't beat around the bush. This time I came, I just wanted to talk to you about the acquisition of your Betis Club shares!" After meeting, Tang Sen said straight to the point.
"Acquiring my shares? I heard it right! Mr. Tang has made a fortune recently? Do you know how much these shares are worth?" Lopela was a little surprised at first, and then replied with some disdain.
Obviously, Lopela can be said to be aware of Tang Sen, who is a mortal enemy. He knows that although Tang Sen is a successful businessman, he is far from being a rich man. Therefore, he believes that Tang Sen cannot afford to acquire the money for his shares.
"Of course I know the value of the shares you have. We have already evaluated them in detail. Since I came here to talk to you about the acquisition, you don't need to worry that I can't escape the acquisition money!" After Tang Feng gave Tang Sen a clear idea, Tang Sen also had the confidence.
Donson's confidence surprised Lopera.
You know, before the story was revealed, he had been coveting the eight percent of the shares in Tang Sen's hands, and he had openly and secretly proposed the intention of multiple acquisitions.
Who knew that the two of them had just turned aside and became Tang Sen to acquire the 52% stake in his hands!
Lopera obviously cannot accept such a big gap. Although the various protests of fans now make him feel a little worried, no matter how he does, he will not want the Betis Club to fall into the hands of this mortal enemy he once looked down upon!
"Sorry! Mr. Tang, I don't want to sell the shares in my hands for the time being. And even if I want to sell the shares... I will never sell them to you!" Lopela said almost in a furious end!
Hearing Lopela's words, Tang Sen's heart was filled with anger.
He didn't expect that Lopela has reached this point now and is still such a rogue!
However, Tang Sen still suppressed his anger and then said, "Then let's go and see!"
...
"What? This guy Lopela is such a rogue!"
At Tang Sen's house, after hearing Tang Sen's retelling Lopela's words, Tang Feng also angrily slapped the table and cursed.
"Yes! But if this guy really wants to be a scoundrel like this, we can't do anything about it. After all, the shares belong to him. If he doesn't want to sell them to us, he can't do anything to him!" Tang Sen said frowningly.
Tang Feng also sighed helplessly.
Originally, Tang Feng and Tang Sen’s plan was to drive Lopela out of the club, and then no matter who became the club’s new owner, he did not have to acquire the club in person.
However, with Tang Feng's success in the investment market over the past few days, they have already had enough strength to acquire the club, so they naturally hope to become the owner of the club.
After all, no one can guarantee whether someone will become the next Lopela if he acquires Betis Club?
Thinking of this, Tang Feng's idea of acquiring the club became much stronger.
Over the past year, he was unwilling to miss any opportunity to make money and made a lot of money, but he couldn't even bear to buy a car, just to be able to acquire the club one day.
Now the opportunity has finally come, but because of Lopela's words "Don't sell it to them" will my dream be shattered?
"There will be a solution! We will definitely become Betis' master!!!" Tang Feng said firmly. This seemed to cheer Tang Sen up, but in fact he was also cheering himself up!
...
After Lopera rejected Donson's purchase, he began to bargain with Louis Castel and the legendary Middle East consortium!
Perhaps seeing so many people want to buy Betis Club, Lopela did not hide his greedy nature and offered a sky-high price of 90 million euros for his shares!
This price is undoubtedly very insincere!
Tang Feng and his team had evaluated the shares in Lopela before, and the highest value was less than 60 million euros!
If we consider that Betis Club still has more than 20 million euros in debt, Lopela's shares will be even less worth the money!
Therefore, after Lopela's insincere offer, even the Middle East consortium, which has always been regarded as a sucker, announced that it would withdraw from the acquisition of Betis Club!
Now, Lopela's greed drove away a real big money owner!
For the time being, the only buyers on the surface are real estate businessman Louis Castel and the team behind him!
There is also a Tang Sen secretly who has been rejected by Lopela for a long time!
Louis Castel is a symbol of getting rich in the Spanish real estate bubble economy era, but he is not a mindless and rich man!
As a businessman, he naturally would not accept a price that is so much higher than his actual value!
However, instead of retreating directly like the Middle Easterners, he began to bargain with Lopela!
There is only one acquirer left now, and Lopela's offer is also falling.
Before I knew it, it dropped from 90 million euros to 60 million euros!
This price is obviously infinitely close to the actual value of his shares.
However, there is still a huge disagreement between Lopera and Luis Castel.
That's about the debt of Betis Club!
Lopela means that he can accept a price of 60 million euros, but only if Castel must take over the debt of Betis Club!
But Castel believes that the 60 million euros he quoted should include debt!
Obviously, Castel is unwilling to spend 60 million euros to buy a heavily indebted club.
Although Castel claims to be a loyal Betis fan, he is also a smart businessman and will not do losing money. In addition to hoping to become the chairman of Betis Club and gain the right status, he also hopes that Betis Club can bring him profits!
Just when Castel and Lopela were in a stalemate, another competitor suddenly emerged!
This competitor is a sports investment company called Bsport, from the United States!
They expressed their willingness to take on the debts of the Betis Club, but their offer was only 40 million euros!
The background of this sports investment company called Bsport was quickly found out by the media.
This is a company specializing in investment in the sports industry and gains benefits by operating professional clubs!
They also have baseball teams and hockey teams in the United States!
Their nature is actually like the Glazer family who acquired Manchester United in the future!
The reason they acquired Betis Club is very simple, that is, they saw the potential of Betis Club and believed that through their operations, they could make profits through Betis Club!
The joining of such a company immediately suffered strong resistance from many Betis fans.
Because they don’t want the Betis Club to become an American profit tool after escaping from Lopela’s clutches!
Perhaps because of feeling the rejection of Betis fans of Bsport, Castell didn't take this American competitor seriously.
Therefore, he still stuck to his offer and did not change his conditions because of the addition of Bsport!
Obviously, they think Lopela dares not take the blame for selling his shares to Bsport.
It’s a pity that he obviously underestimated Lopela’s shamelessness!
After receiving the offer from Bsport, Lopela decisively paused the dispute with Castel and began to concentrate on negotiating with Bsport.
He doesn't care about the thoughts of Betis fans. In his opinion, his reputation in the minds of Betis fans has reached its peak, so he doesn't care about being a little more smelly. All he cares about is the green dollar!
Lopera and Bsport are having a hot match, and Tang Feng and Tang Sen’s uncle and nephew seem to be getting further and further away from acquiring the club. Moreover, if Bsport successfully acquires the club, their business policy with profit as the primary purpose will definitely be very different from what Tang Feng expected!
Chapter completed!
