Chapter 226 Dragon Slayer?

On the vast stretch of Gobi, dark green thorns are tenaciously stretching out from the saline-alkali soil crust. In the distance, the snow water rushing down from the mysterious Qilian Mountains transports nutrients from the earth along the spider web-like irrigation canals. Every corner of the Hexi Corridor! It's almost July in the countryside of Yumen Town, which is almost the day of harvest. Green trees, red walls, and wheat fields are slightly yellow, rippling like waves!

Li Tongfan has been back in his hometown for more than half a month. He is far away from the hustle and bustle of the Spanish football world. He sits lazily under the shade of the trees every day, listening to the breeze blowing through the broad leaves of the poplar trees and making a sound. When he is tired, he lies down Sitting on the rocking chair made of green bamboo, I looked up at the deep blue sky, and took a sip of my dad's favorite Wuyishan Maojian from time to time...

Days like this were simply magical times, to put it mildly, Lao Li felt that his soul had been sublimated and edified by the pure sky blue like a gem above his head!

No one expected that the madman Li who caused a storm in Spain would actually be hiding in such a remote place where no one has shit!

Accompanying Lao Li to China was Tolosi Tang.

His younger brother Li Tongxun stayed in Spain and temporarily took charge of the work of "Sparkling Red Star". Fortunately, the current business volume of [Sparkling Red Star] is not large, which is a good training opportunity for Li Tongxun!

Under the shade!

"Li, I think you can consider these invitations, which may be a little more challenging than the [Koala Project]..." Tolosi Tang shook the pile of fax paper in his hand with excitement: "Moratti has offered a sky-high five-year contract worth 50 million euros. The whole world knows this oil tycoon's desire for a Champions League trophy. It's a very good choice... And this one, Berlusconi seems to be interested in you." I'm also a bit interested, but the conditions are a bit worse than those of Inter Milan... Oh, haha, look who this is, Mr. Abramovich, at a price of 35 million pounds in four years, are the Russians really planning to speculate? Mourinho, who just won the Premier League championship..."

In the shade, Li Tongfan slept happily on a long green bamboo rocking chair like an eighty-year-old man who was greedy for enjoyment. He turned to glance at Tolosi Tang and found that the middle-aged English uncle was looking at the fax quotation in his hand. She has completely fallen into the climax. Her face is flushed and her eyes are shining and her breathing is rapid. It is easy for people to have some associations that are not suitable for children...

"Oh, God, Lee, I bet you will never guess where this quote comes from..." Turning to the last page of the fax document, Tolosi-Tang was like a Mexican rabbit whose tail was bitten by a hyena. He shouted and jumped up: "Barcelona!!!! Ah haha, the Catalans just drove away last year's best coach in the world, the Dutch Rijkaard. I dare say Laporta must want to take advantage of this." Give the old rival Real Madrid a kick in the butt..."

The way Tolosi Tang looked at Li Tongfan was no different from looking at an inexhaustible mountain of gold...

This can’t be blamed on the English uncle’s lack of success. Although Tolosi Tang also ran a brokerage company before and dealt with many clubs, behemoths like Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, and Inter Milan are still terrible to him. The high-end existence that is just out of reach. If it weren’t for Crazy Li’s golden and shining sign, it is estimated that Tang Fendou would never interact with these wealthy families in his life...

But the current situation is that these wealthy families who were originally aloof have extended their olive branches with "flattering smiles" and the treatment is astonishing...

A typical villain who succeeds!

Ignoring Tolositang's fuss, the sultry man Li Tongfan lay on the rocking chair and took a nap. On the surface, he looked like a worldly master who was unfazed by favors and humiliations. In fact, he was already happy in his heart. Who doesn't look forward to his own life? My value is recognized by others. Who doesn’t look forward to seeing flowers everywhere I go, driving in cars, seeing people smiling, and beautiful women letting me hold my arms...

It's like when I was in elementary school, I always looked forward to a certificate for being a good student but couldn't get it. Now, after I turned around, several major "principals" from Inter Milan, Chelsea, and Barcelona were vying to award me certificates and bursaries. It really feels a bit like "the spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hoof is broken, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day"! To be honest, it would be a lie to say that you are unmoved in the face of the ardent solicitations from several wealthy families. Unfortunately, after a year of training at Real Madrid, Li Tongfan is no longer the little guy who comes and goes when called upon by the wealthy families. If you hold a "god-defying artifact" that transcends the rules and don't know how to create your own deeds, you are a fool...

However, Rome wasn’t built in a day!

Li Tongfan still needs to confirm one more thing before making a final decision, so he is not in a hurry to refuse these invitations worth thousands of dollars!

So, the sultry man lazily waved his hand to Tolosi Tang, who was still gasping for breath in the climax: "Okay, Tang, please suppress these invitations for now. I want to know about [Koala Project]." How's it going?"

Well?

Speaking of [Koala Project], Tang instantly fell from the peak of his climax. With a grimace, he put the fax quotation paper back into the document bag, then took out a thick stack of documents and handed them to Li Tongfan's hands, and cautiously suggested: "Lee, the first part of Project Koala went well, but the second part..."

Li Tongfan took the document and read it carefully!

Project Kara! !

This plan, which was entrusted with all of Li Tongfan's ambitions and efforts, actually includes two parts - the main content of the first part is to search for young players and try to sign them to the [Shining Red Star] agency, which is an investment in the future!

This part is not difficult to carry out!

So far, all the high-potential young players that Li Tongfan searched out from the scout tool have been "lured" to [Shining Red Star] by Torosi Tang in the past six months! The next work of [Shining Red Star] is to choose a league and club that is more suitable for the young players to accumulate experience and fame!

Let the long line catch the big fish!

The second part is the key to the entire [Koala Plan] - control a competitive top league club, and then participate in the football hegemony!

This part is the decisive step in whether all of Li Tongfan's ambitions can be finally realized!

According to the plan initially drafted by Li Tongfan, the target clubs he wanted to control were locked in the English domestic league, and divided into three levels according to their strength -

The first level is naturally the Premier League clubs, preferably clubs with a solid foundation, which is more conducive to the implementation of Li Tongfan's subsequent plans. After carefully analyzing the information of all Premier League clubs, Li Tongfan set his target on Newcastle!

Newcastle!

This Premier League powerhouse, founded in 1892 and affectionately called the Magpies by fans, once had infinite glory - 1 League Cup champion, 1 Community Shield champion, 2 Championship League champions, 6 FA Cup champions, 4 Premier League champions, 2 Premier League runner-ups, 4 Premier League third place...

It is worth mentioning that the Magpies not only have a deep foundation, but also claim to be the club with the most fans in the entire British Isles...

Of course, for Li Tongfan, the most important reason for choosing the Magpies is that this club with a glorious history has fallen into trouble in the past two years - not only has a poor record, but also has financial problems!

The predicament faced by the Magpies gave Lao Li an opportunity!

The second-tier target is the English Championship club. Li Tongfan has considered Leeds United, Wolves, Watford and Southampton. However, with Lao Li's financial strength, it is very difficult to swallow even the second-tier teams in one go!

As for the third tier, it is naturally the lower-level league clubs below the English Championship, such as Leyton Orient, Darlington Forest, etc.!

Although Li Tongfan is fully capable of acquiring these small clubs, the subsequent investment after acquiring them is too huge. Even if Li has the FM system that can modify the real world, the system can only be used to simulate matches and create some talented players... FM2007 is not so powerful that it can create a large stadium with complete facilities or top youth training out of thin air. What is certain is that no matter how many talented players you create, they will probably be snatched up by the giants soon. The cruel competition of modern commercial football will never give Li any breathing space...

This is equivalent to spending money to buy yourself a bottomless pit that will never be filled. Choosing such a club is just a backup option that Li Tongfan has to choose when he can't handle the first two tiers smoothly!

After formulating the Koala Plan, Li Tongfan did not rush to take action, but secretly commissioned Torosi-Tang to explore and organize the information of all targets. After the information was collected, in the small office of Shining Red Star, Lao Li decided to choose Newcastle despite Torosi-Tang's dissuasion!

Buy Newcastle?

Of course, Lao Li would not arrogantly think that he was rich enough to casually throw out 113.5 million pounds to waste!

That's right, 113.5 million pounds!

This is the current market value of Newcastle!

This huge number is like an undead dragon with sulfur and flames spewing out of its mouth. Anyone standing in front of it will feel as small as an ant! This is also the reason why Torosi-Tang dissuaded Li Tongfan!

But Li Tongfan is willing to be a dragon slayer and take a gamble!

Because once the Magpies are really taken over, there is no need to spend money to repair the stadium, improve the youth training facilities, enhance the team's reputation, or spend money...

Compared to the second-tier Championship teams and the third-tier lower-level clubs, Newcastle is definitely a one-time deal that will make a lot of money. Although the "investment" is a little bit bigger, the return is also extremely amazing!

The only chance that Li Tongfan has to win the bet is that Newcastle is in a financial crisis!

——

About the so-called acquisition of Newcastle, of course it won't be that simple. Don't worry, brothers, and listen to Xiaodao slowly...

The third update will be around 10:30!
