The sea breeze blows gently and the seagulls swarm.
Chewing the barbecue that Keli handed over, Chen Mo turned sideways from the recliner: "I said, at this critical moment, you went to Argentina for vacation. Does the company really have nothing to do with it?"
"It's okay, it's okay. The World Cup is over, there are no other hot topics recently, and the company is on the right track. My main responsibility is to grasp the direction. It'll be okay if I leave for a few days. Wow, Argentina's red wine is so delicious. "
Keli, who was wearing a sexy bikini and had a curvy figure, was lying on the lounge chair next to her, drinking red wine, with a happy smile on her face. She turned to Chen Mo and joked: "It's you, I see those teammates of yours. I go out every day to do various promotions, but this captain doesn’t do anything.”
"Forget it, I have been celebrating with them for a week, and they are almost exhausted." Chen Mo rolled his eyes. Winning the World Cup is undoubtedly a national carnival for the Argentinians. After returning to Argentina, there will naturally be various celebrations. What kind of bus parades, what kind of meetings with government officials, what kind of interviews with the media, etc.
This kind of thing is a matter of opinion, which is a good thing for some players who like to be popular, but for people like Chen Mo who prefer a more relaxed life, it is a real burden.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo shook his head and changed the subject: "By the way, you said before that you wanted to invest in Arsenal? What's going on?"
"Isn't it because Arsenal's financial problem is very serious? Everyone is poor, and capital from all over the world is now interested in the Premier League. Last year, Manchester United was acquired by the Glazer family. This year, I heard about that investment. Tycoon Tom Hicks is also looking to buy Liverpool.”
"Is Liverpool going to be taken over?"
Chen Mo was stunned, while Keli chewed beef and nodded: "Yes, Serie A is on the verge of collapse due to the impact of the Calciopoli scandal, and a lot of capital has fled. Hey, you don't understand even if there are too many economic things. Anyway, you just You need to know that the rich people who play football in the outside world are beginning to set their sights on your Premier League and La Liga.
It’s more about your Premier League. Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga have government backgrounds, and capital cannot beat them. So, if this trend continues, your Premier League will definitely have many teams invested by rich people and big capital. You should have a clear idea of what will happen after intervention. "
"This is a bit clearer."
Chen Mo nodded thoughtfully. They say that the Premier League is a competition between heroes, but in fact this statement is not accurate.
The Premier League only has loose whistles and a wild style of play, so weak teams can often perform miracles. However, before Wenger landed in the Premier League, the Premier League was actually dominated by Manchester United.
The Premier League was founded in 1992. In the ten years from 1992 to 2002, Manchester United won seven Premier League championships, while Arsenal only had two. Arsene Wenger was not even the person who changed the pattern of the Premier League. He was the club that really changed the pattern of the Premier League. It's Chelsea, or rather the boss behind Chelsea, Abramovich.
After acquiring Chelsea, Abramovich spent 300 million euros in two summer windows, and the players' salaries were extremely high!
Arsenal's Ashley Cole left Chelsea last summer due to the temptation of money.
Not only is it as simple as poaching people, this series of operations by Chelsea directly increases the value and salary of the players. This resulted in Wenger having a small amount of 20 million in the last summer window, but he could not afford to buy good players at all, and he could not afford them. The only way to keep Pires and others is to let the 16-year-old Bell play left back.
To put it bluntly, it is involution.
The local capital of the Premier League is not strong. Most of the shareholders of Arsenal are actually some old British minor aristocrats and small local wealthy businessmen.
Under the impact of big capital such as oil guys, North American capital and Maoist oligarchs, these small bosses are gradually unable to keep up.
They don’t have a lot of money to buy top players, and they can’t offer higher salaries to retain players who have made a name for themselves. This will cause the team’s performance to fail. However, the Premier League cannot stay flat. If it stays flat, it will be relegated, so if you don’t want to If it is eliminated, it can only accept capital injection or acquisition.
The same goes for Arsenal.
Seeing the expression on Chen Mo's face, Keli hugged the big orange cat that ran next to her and rubbed her thigh into the undulating arms of the mountains, smoothed her blond hair that was messed up by the sea breeze, and nodded: "It's okay to understand, but now the Premier League is not Many club shareholders do not have the money to invest in buying players, but they are not willing to sell their shares easily. They are also afraid of attracting wolves into the house and letting excessive capital eat them up.
So, I, a small fish, just happened to get into this hole. Some time ago, I met Mr. Dunn, the vice president of your club, and we had a pleasant chat, but that’s all.”
At this point, Keli pursed her lips, rubbed her chin against the cat's raised furry little head, and pouted cutely: "You vice chairman seems to be trying to do some kind of check and balance. He plans to sell part of his shares to me and part of them." Sold to that Kroenke.”
"Klenk? That famous sports tycoon?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, "Isn't that a good thing? He is so rich."
"It's easy for you to think."
Keli rolled her eyes and said: "A wealthy man of his size will not just be satisfied with getting some dividends from Arsenal's shares. His purpose must be to completely acquire Arsenal and complete the entire industrial chain layout."
"What do you mean? Isn't it a good thing that he has so much money to make acquisitions?"
Chen Mo was puzzled, and Keli rolled her eyes again: "You guys have absolutely no economic sense. Yes, he wants to acquire Arsenal, but do you think he wants to acquire Arsenal for hundreds of millions of dollars, or for more than one billion dollars? So, Ah, for him, the worse Arsenal's performance is, the easier it is to acquire it.
Even if he is more ruthless and spends a lot of money to acquire some shares privately, and then directly destroys them after taking control of the voice, it will only put the team in a situation where it has a certain reputation but cannot make money. When your stadium debt is reduced, you can survive those scattered It is not impossible for small shareholders to become unable to bear it any longer and then make acquisitions at low prices.
It doesn't do him any harm, it's just a matter of waiting a few more years, but it's a bolt from the blue for you.
Ahhhh! What's your expression? Don't think this is impossible. Just like my current investment in Apple mobile phones, what Kroenke wants to do is the layout of the industrial chain, not the dividends as thick as a mosquito's legs. Hey, forget it, a guy like you with strong limbs and simple mind will definitely not be able to understand. "
Keli's face was filled with contempt, and Chen Mo was speechless. He swallowed the beef in his mouth and said, "Okay, you guy. Anyway, I really don't have any talent in business."
"Humph, you are quite self-aware."
"Hey, isn't it just that you have two stinky money?"
Being choked to the point of being speechless, Chen Mo was speechless again. Seeing his aggrieved expression, Keli smiled, leaned her head closer, and exhaled like a blue: "Oh, okay, okay, okay, I can't help but laugh. By the way, you win the championship. I haven’t given you a gift since.”
"kindness?"
Chen Mo was stunned, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Keli's enchanting face getting closer and closer.
This guy can't change.
"You perverted woman, die!"
"ah!"
A strong wind blew in front of her eyes, and before she could react, Keli and her deck chair were thrown into the sea by Yuechi Xun.
"."
five minutes later.
The old God Keli, who was all wet and had pale skin, was sitting in the tent having a barbecue, ignoring Yuechi Xun's murderous gaze, biting the rubber band in her mouth, and tying her golden ponytail back with her hands.
The voluptuous figure under the red bikini was vividly displayed. Antonella rolled her eyes speechlessly and immediately covered Messi's eyes. Chen Mo smiled and shook his head: "I said you guy, don't be a monster, be careful they both throw you off the boat. .”
"Sister can swim."
"."
She is obviously the youngest among them, but she has the worst figure, and yet she likes to call herself sister. Chen Mo rolled his eyes and put the grilled steak on Yue Chixun's plate, who was fuming.
Shake your head!
Don't want to eat it!
Yue Chixun's cheeks were as puffy as a puffer fish, but after Chen Mo kissed her with a smile, everything was fine. The five of them began to happily eat barbecue while enjoying the sea breeze.
The three girls naturally talked about more topics than football, and they were quite destined to talk about it. Whether it was Antonella, Yuechi Xun or Keli, these three girls had known each other for several years, but they could Li ran to the United States alone when she was sixteen.
Antonella was very curious about Keli's experience during this period. When she learned that Keli had become a rich man, her eyes widened, and there was a lot of envy in her words.
It’s not that I’m envious of being rich, it’s mainly because she has a relatively strong personality, so it’s easier to be attracted to girls with Keli’s personality. However, after taking a look at Macy who was laughing silly next to Chen Mo while eating melon seeds, her eyes turned to doting. and happiness.
The three girls drank red wine and chatted all over the world. Soon, the drunk Keli brought the topic to Messi's transfer issue, clamoring that she would poach Messi from Barcelona when she bought Arsenal. , and naturally ended up being ridiculed by Yue Chi Xun, saying things like "He started croaking before he made much money" and "The fox's tail is raised to the sky".
.
The leisurely life on vacation is naturally comfortable, but just like before, Keli is unwilling to sleep in a room alone at night, and will always find various reasons to stay in a room with two people.
The couple's life was affected, but fortunately, the hotel they stayed in was very luxurious, with good sound insulation, and the floor was high and faced the sea, so the bathroom and balcony became the strategic focus of the military.
But every time artillery fire roared, there was always a strange buzzing sound in the bedroom, and Keli's clothes became more and more bold every time she went to the beach.
In such a strange atmosphere, the days passed by. Chen Mo was relaxed and leisurely, while the outside world was turbulent.
There are two reasons. The first is that the value of a large number of new players has skyrocketed after the World Cup. At the same time, a large number of players have withdrawn from the top league stage, and many teams have begun to replace their players.
The second is that many big capitals have begun to shift their attention to the Premier League.

All kinds of news are different every day. In this carnival day of the news media, Chen Mo also ended his holiday in Argentina, said goodbye to Messi and Antonella, and headed to the United States with his two girls.
It was still a vacation, from the South American island to the warm Hawaii, and he made a guest appearance in that "Iron Man" movie on the way. However, after winning the World Cup, his net worth skyrocketed.
Originally, Paramount Pictures was the active party and was only willing to do advertising placement because of the money from Keli, but now it has switched to offense and defense.
Just kidding, Chen Mo is the most popular kid in the world right now. People who watch football or not know him from his hat trick in the World Cup final and his shocking kneeling down while stripping off his clothes.
As for Chen Mo, who is now a cross-border guest star, the appearance fee is not much higher than that of those big Hollywood stars. However, Chen Mo and Keli are very honest and did not regret raising the price temporarily. They still came as usual. The result was naturally that the film director directly Treat Chen Mo as his grandfather.
.
"Ah - making movies is so boring."
"What the hell high-tech Iron Man is, it's not as useful as this thing in my head."
Looking at the somewhat funny Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. in a robot prop in front of him, and then at the green cloth behind him, Chen Mo, who was sitting on the recliner, yawned out of boredom.
He casually took a sip of the juice handed by the beautiful assistant, and out of boredom, he recalled Maradona's path to becoming the world's best player.
[King of Heaven: King of Football—Diego Maradona (2/3)]
[The first phase starts]
[Template talent - Blade of God: Max dexterity, Max balance, Max dribbling ability, passing ability ↑↑↑, sense of smell in front of goal ↑↑↑]
[The second phase starts]
[Template talent improvement: Dexterity Max+, Balance Max+, Dribbling ability Max+, Passing ability Max, Smell in front of goal Max] (Max is the top in history, Max+ is the only level in history)
[Conditions for starting the third stage: winning the league championship, Champions League championship, and World Cup championship in the same calendar year]
"How come Max+ feels like he's being tricked?"
Seeing the talent displayed on the panel, Chen Mo twitched his lips helplessly. Max meant the biggest. At first, he thought Max was the highest, but he didn't expect that after winning the World Cup, he got Max+.
"But that's okay, the upper limit of talent is higher anyway."
I was very happy when I got the Maradona card at first, but since becoming teammates with Messi again in the World Cup, Chen Mo found that the card was more like a trap.
All that Maradona has improved is his ability to control the ball and break through, but Chen Mo is 1.86 meters tall, while Messi is 1.7 meters tall.
No matter how luxurious the parts configuration is, a big truck can't be more flexible than a car, not to mention that in his opinion, Messi's talent is no worse than Maradona.
If he, Chen Mo, tries to outdo others just because he got the Maradona card, it would be like picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon, and the gain outweighs the loss.
"Those who learn from me will live, and those who resemble me will die. The saying of Long Guo is quite reasonable. I should not plan my own path based on the attributes of the cards, but should use them as auxiliary tools to chart my own path."
After thinking about it, Chen Mo shook his head and moved his eyes to the lottery column at the bottom.
[This card pool: Ruud van Nistelrooy (Bronze), Fabregas (Bronze), Pique (Bronze)] (Number of draws: 50)
"There are all these damn cards."
Seeing the card pool, Chen Mo was speechless. If he had put it away four years ago, he would still have wanted these cards, especially Ruud van Nistelrooy, but now
Just kidding, he had tortured Ruud van Nistelrooy countless times on the field and even drew his cards without washing the card pool. Chen Mo moved his gaze to the top of the panel.
[Currently used template: Football King Maradona (2/3)]
[Sacrifice template: Golden Haaland, Golden Zidane, Golden Baggio, Golden Ronaldinho, Golden Carlos, Golden Kaká, Legend Caniggia]
"The speed has reached the limit. In terms of foot control, I have awakened legendary muscle control. I also have the support of Maradona's card. Well, I still need to strengthen my strength."
His strength talent is not strong, and he has not touched it since reaching 90 points of golden Haaland. Chen Mo thought for a moment and directly put all 50 points on Haaland.
[Spend fifty lottery points to open the legendary road]
