Chapter 295(1/3)
Digging a hole for the local tycoons in Hong Kong
Carrington training ground.
After Peter Kenyon, the CEO of Manchester United Group, and the big boss from the United States left.
An angry Ferguson called a somewhat worried David Beckham over.
"Alex, what can you do?"
David Beckham looked at Sir Alex Ferguson and said with a guilty conscience.
Ferguson looked at the handsome face in front of him.
Thinking about how David listened to me so much in the past, and he and I were almost like father and son.
But now the two can only drift apart.
Who is to blame?
Blame Victoria.
Anyway, that’s what the head coach thinks.
Sir Alex Ferguson took a deep breath to calm down his anger.
"David, I know what you want to do. Was that the ball you just shot on purpose?"
Ferguson looked directly at Beckham and said.
David Beckham naturally cannot admit it.
In fact, David already regretted that he was too impatient.
The ball that was kicked just now was very accurately positioned.
It was David who kicked him on purpose.
One of David Beckham's most famous and outstanding abilities is his extremely accurate passing and set-piece abilities.
Just kicking the ball to Abel and others was a decision made by David Beckham in a moment of enthusiasm.
The trigger for this bold decision was David's wife Victoria.
The reason why this is so can be said some time ago.
Since some time ago.
After the news came out that Manchester United had been acquired.
The happiest person in the entire Manchester United team is Beckham's wife.
The reason is very simple.
Because of the new owner Abel Smith who acquired Manchester United, others thought he was a Wall Street tycoon and a media magnate.
In the eyes of Victoria, her team, and the members of the group, the other party is one of the giants of Hollywood.
A Hollywood giant acquired Manchester United, and her husband is the star of Manchester United.
If you can find a way to get involved with this boss.
Victoria feels that she and Beckham have hope of developing in Hollywood and the United States.
European filmmakers have always been self-proclaimed on the surface, but they are still adherents to the art of film.
But the reality is that European movies are hitting Hollywood in waves.
As of 2001, whether we admit it or not, Hollywood has become the center of world cinema.
At the same time, Grammy has become the center of world pop music.
This makes the entertainment circles around the world look like China.
That is, they all want to go to Hollywood and become famous in the United States.
The British are no exception.
Victoria and her husband talked about many possibilities in this regard, and David Beckham was also moved by the talk.
Having already seen the colorful world of the entertainment industry, Xiao Bei is willing to develop into that circle.
David wanted to have an encounter with Abel, and he saw Abel appear at the training ground just now.
After thinking for a while, David Beckham kicked the ball over.
David's idea was simple. He wanted to use this subtle way to interact with the new boss.
It's best if we can become familiar with each other, even if it doesn't work, just give it a try.
This was indeed not the case, because the new boss did not interact with the players after kicking the ball away.
He just chatted with Ferguson and Peter Kenyon for a while and then left.
Xiaobei was very disappointed.
But this is not over yet.
Ferguson knew Beckham too well, and he knew the Victoria behind David even more.
Others thought David made a mistake and saw through David Beckham and Victoria Ferguson.
But I thought of this possibility, and then this conversation happened.
"How is that possible?" David Beckham cried out guiltily, "I just accidentally kicked him during training. Alex, people always make mistakes."
Ferguson looked at David Beckham, who mustered up the courage to look him in the eye.
"It's best." Ferguson finally decided to let him go.
David Beckham was relieved.
But he was a little disappointed, disappointed that Abel didn't interact with him at all.
Amid Ferguson's silence, David Beckham returned to training with his teammates.
At this moment, the members of the Manchester United team were all discussing the exaggerated volley shot by the new boss just now.
But there was no discussion of the reason, because the boss only drew the ball once.
Then left.
Abel, who walked around Manchester United's training ground, arrived at the core of the Greater Manchester County region, Manchester City, at noon.
Manchester is the largest financial center city in the UK after London.
On King Street here, there is the Stock Exchange and the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and Industry, as well as the earliest and most prosperous Bank of England branch.
Abel leaving Old Trafford.
At noon, he was here waiting for Ian Conn, the CEO of the British Centric Group, and Richard Heisenwit, the chairman.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen."
A cafe on King Street was temporarily occupied.
Abel came in and apologized to the two old white men first, "I just came from the Carrington training base. As you know, I bought a team and I like Manchester United."
Chairman Richard Heisenweit smiled and shook hands with Abel, "It's understandable, that's the Red Devils. Who wouldn't want to own the Red Devils as long as they can?"
Ian Conn also shook hands with Abel, but since the chairman had already spoken, he just smiled and said hello to Abel.
After greetings, everyone took their seats.
Unlike Americans, the British talk before they get down to business.
Many times we talk about other things.
Chat about the weather, hobbies, or even pets.
Richard originally wanted to talk about Manchester United, but Abel happened to acquire Manchester United.
Fortunately, this is not the first day Abel has come to England.
During this time, he has become aware of the British temper.
Abel felt that this was a bit like the habits of businessmen in China.
Probably it has a little bit of history, or maybe it’s a country that our ancestors have been great at.
It will all look like this.
But Abel was in no mood to chat with two old white men.
When Richard Heisenwirth wanted to speak, but couldn't.
Abel said straight to the point:
"Mr. Heisenwirth, and Mr. Conn. As I said when I invited you here, I want to acquire the distribution network company of the Centric Group."
Ian Conn and the chairman looked at each other.
Both of them were thinking - Americans are so direct and not gentle at all.
But since Abel has already talked about business directly, it is certainly not easy for the two of them to talk about anything else.
