Although it has been expected, the reaction of Manchester United fans is somewhat beyond Ronan's expectations, which actually shows the conservative and stubbornness of the British.

It seems that only British people can play English football.

This also reminds Ronan of England's players, with all kinds of imperial stars emerging one after another, and as a result, one is more than the other. In fact, there are not many reliable ones in the so-called golden generation.

Every time he goes to a major competition, the British media always wins the strongest team in England, thinking that it is a super hot topic, but in the end he is always killed by his own Emperor Star.

For example, the one from Liverpool can be said to have cheated England in the competition.

Later, some people said that Liverpool owed him a Premier League championship, but after that shocking kneeling, all of these people were speechless, and even turned into a Premier League championship he owed Liverpool.

Once after 2015, people looked back and found that the so-called Golden Generation of England and various imperial stars, and the most reliable person was David Beckham.

Manchester United fans strongly oppose it, but the British media's reaction was relatively dull. Perhaps it was because of the acquisition of Chelsea by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich last year. He had already had expectations and preparations for foreign capital to enter the Premier League.

No matter how fans object, the acquisition work is moving forward rapidly.

Ronan was in charge of London, and the teams of Korver and Jefferson attacked separately, staring at their prey coldly. For the sake of this acquisition, the "Anderson" shell company was specially established, and continued to absorb Manchester United's stock from the market.

For many years, Manchester United has been a model of commercial development in the Premier League and even European football, which has caused countless people to imitate and learn about it. However, it is this obvious business imprint that determines that the club will become the target of some sports speculators. In profitable situations, the power of capital is simply omnipresent.

In 1999, with the introduction of Ferguson, two Irish horse racing tycoons, Manier and McManus, began to acquire Manchester United and soon became the club's number one shareholder. The two people after the goal was achieved also showed the ruthless side of capital.

Their conflicts with Ferguson gradually arose. In order to suppress Ferguson's status in the club and to ensure their own investment, they raised 99 questions, pointing to various questions from Ferguson and Manchester United's management, and even involved the head coach in the black gold scandal.

In fact, just like Hollywood, black gold is a well-known unspoken rule in the football circle. The most direct result of putting these things on the table is that they have become public enemies from fans to clubs to British football circles.

As for the authenticity of the black gold rumors, it obviously doesn't matter anymore.

In fact, Manier and McManus don’t like football at all. The purpose of acquiring Manchester United shares is very simple, just to make money. From becoming a shareholder of Manchester United to now, they have not watched even one-minute games at Old Trafford Stadium.

Ronan's secondary market has been moving frequently, and the Abu Dhabi consortium has not been done, and Manchester United's stock price has risen in response.

It was in this case that Ronan received news that Chief Mansour wanted to meet him.

The two made an appointment in the living room of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

"I didn't expect we would meet again in this situation." Mansour spoke very fluently in English, probably because he had practiced to strengthen it, and also had a somewhat authentic London accent: "Ronan, you haven't changed much."

Ronan shook hands with Mansour and said with a smile: "I am very happy to see Mr. Minister again."

Mansour glanced at Connie, the assistant behind Ronan, and said, "Let's have a chat alone?"

Ronan waved his hand, Connie left the living room, and the fat man who followed Mansour also walked out quickly and solemnly closed the door.

"When we first met, you were just twenty years old, right?" Mansour seemed particularly calm.

Ronan smiled and said, "It was 1998, I was just twenty years old." He could guess the intention of Mansour's words and further said, "It was a great honor for me to be able to get the support of the Minister at that time. The facts also prove that the support of the Minister ultimately brings a win-win situation. Shahai Entertainment got rid of the bankruptcy dilemma and the investment of the Investment Bureau received corresponding returns."

"Haha..." Mansour laughed: "Yes, win-win."

He could hear that the other party told him clearly that the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau had invested in Shahai Entertainment, Shahai Entertainment and him, Ronan Anderson, had already given corresponding investment returns.

Ronan was very straightforward: "Shahai Entertainment has cooperated with the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau twice, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau's returns are more than 50%. This is definitely the top investment return ratio in Hollywood."

Mansour understood that the other party wanted to completely separate the things that happened back then.

Before Mansour could speak again, Ronan said again: "Shahai Entertainment almost became a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau. If I hadn't insisted, I wouldn't have the relativity entertainment today."

Both sides had their own business cooperation at that time, Shahai Entertainment needed funds. The Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau wanted to open up the publicity situation in the film industry, and even sought to win Shahai Entertainment for a while.

There is no need to use these to bring people to favour.

Mansour would not give up, so he simply said directly: "Ronan, the Abu Dhabi consortium is interested in acquiring Manchester United club."

Ronan said: "It's a coincidence that my two friends and I plan to acquire Manchester United."

"I was reminded by you that the Abu Dhabi consortium could promote itself in both sports and culture." Mansour said calmly: "In recent years, the Abu Dhabi consortium has made great achievements and is determined this time."

Ronan smiled: "Mr. Minister, consider it from another perspective. Even if the acquisition is not successful, the Abu Dhabi consortium will have a certain publicity effect."

Mansour shook his head: "Ronan, we are old friends, there is no need to engage in such meaningless competition. You take the initiative to make a compromise. If you need the Abu Dhabi consortium in the future, you can contact me."

Ronan said: "Thank you for your kindness, but acquiring Manchester United is not my personal behavior. It also involves two of my friends and partners. They are die-hard fans of Manchester United. The biggest wish in my life is to be a part of this club. I cannot break my trust from my friends."

Hearing this, Mansour knew that meeting today would be difficult to achieve its goal.

"The Abu Dhabi consortium will soon join the competition," Mansour simply said: "The price of Manchester United clubs will inevitably be pushed up. Ronan, with your financial resources, even if Will Smith and Tom Cruise are added, can this acquisition be supported?"

He specifically reminded: "As far as I know, it is not easy for Relativity Entertainment to be in Hollywood now. Several major companies are staring at you. If there is a problem with your capital chain, the consequences..."

Luo Nan shrugged slightly: "No matter what the consequences, I can bear them."

This minister only focused on relativity entertainment, obviously not knowing that his funds did not come from relativity entertainment at all.

Mansour knew very well that when things were mentioned here, they were basically dead, and Ronan had no intention of giving in.

"We were partners, and we could even become friends." Mansour spoke earnestly, as if the elders were looking at the disobedient younger generation: "But your choice can only make us go further and further. Ronan, in the end, this acquisition case was nothing more than financial resources. Your relativity entertainment is very powerful in Hollywood, but when it comes to financial resources..."

Mansour did not continue to say it, but Ronan understood what he meant.

The most important thing that Arab oil tycoons lack is money!

Ronan whispered: "Mr. Minister, it is decided that this acquisition is not just money, otherwise you wouldn't come to see me today."

If it can be solved by relying solely on money, with the strength of the Abu Dhabi consortium, it will be just crushed.

Mansour's eyes looked at Ronan as if he had deepened his understanding of him.

Ronan took the initiative to stand up: "Goodbye." When Mansour stood up, he took the initiative to move forward and shake hands: "Mr. Minister, I hope we will still be friends when we meet again."

Mansour's face is no less skill than Ronan: "I hope so too."

The two left each, Chief Mansour's expression was a little heavy, and Ronan didn't look relaxed either.

How could it be easy to face a behemoth like the Abu Dhabi Consortium?

Luo Nan's head kept turning, and thoughts kept rolling. When he returned to the room, his thoughts became clearer.

He immediately called Korver and Jefferson, briefly talked about the situation, and then discussed it for two hours, gradually turning the idea into a plan.

To successfully acquire Manchester United, it is necessary to collapse the shareholder league with Manchester United fans as the core.

The Abu Dhabi consortium joins the competition, which will undoubtedly create many difficulties, but it also brings opportunities.

Ronan then dispatched professionals in charge of publicity and contact media to help with the British branch of the Embassy Film Company.

Korver and Jefferson continued to eat all possible shares in Manchester United and kept in touch with Manchester United's senior management. The people from the British branch of Embassy Films opened up media channels. Ronan went to meet William again and deepened his ties with the FA and the Premier League in the name of the Premier League partner Netflix.

In the afternoon of the same day, news broke out in the British football world again, and the Abu Dhabi consortium from the UAE publicly claimed to acquire Manchester United.

Now it was not only Manchester United fans that were blown up, but even the practitioners in British football were in full swing.

English legend Reinkell has successively criticized Ronan and Abu Dhabi consortium for the acquisition, believing that this will lose the tradition of English football and bring bad atmosphere to the Premier League. Ladies should not interfere in professional football at will.

After seeing this, Ronan just smiled.

The tradition of English football?
