Chapter 4 Now We Have Money
Back in Nottingham, David had gone from a pauper to a £120m rich man, making him the most unpopular bettor of all bookmakers.
However, this is only a means for David to earn the first pot of gold. In the future, he can completely say goodbye to this activity that does not have many challenges for him.
By the time David got home, the radical fans had dispersed, replaced by a reporter with a camera.
My friend, don't tell me that you are standing here under the scorching sun to wait for me? David showed a surprised expression, because the visitor was very familiar with him.
Kevin White, a reporter for the sports page of the Nottingham Evening News, is also a Notts County fan and has had many dealings with David because of his professional relationship.
White's expression looked lost, even with disappointment and a little bit of despair in the loss.
You've mortgaged the team to the bank for a loan. It's been a lot of trouble. Why do you still look like you don't care? Is this your account to all the Notts County fans? He followed David without saying a word. After walking into his home and sitting on the sofa, White abruptly got up and said solemnly to David with a slightly grim expression.
David is very clear that this is the expression of the deep love and hatred of a diehard fan. At this moment, White is not a reporter, but a Notts County fan. He represents the demands of all Notts County fans.
When you took over the chairmanship two years ago, how high-spirited you were. I thought you were the King Arthur who could lead Notts County to glory, but look at you now, do you still have a little bit of enterprising spirit? Did you give up? Are you planning to sell the club and squander your life? Seeing that David didn't respond to his questioning, White became more and more excited, and even looked a little extreme.
As he said, the Nottingham Post, another newspaper in the Nottingham area, which has a clear tendency between the two rival clubs, has given numerous reports on David's mortgage of the Notts County Club in the past few days. Most of them are sarcasm, and one of the articles speculates in a schadenfreude tone that little Parvis, a young man, retreated bravely when the team was frustrated, and planned to cash out and spend freely. As for the life and death of the team, there is no one at all. Forget it, Notts County is destined to be the laughing stock of England.
David threw a can of beer to White and sat on the sofa with a relaxed expression, as if no one was yelling at him at all.
I never said I would give up the club, do you believe this ill-conceived speculation?
But you still mortgaged the club to the bank. How can you make everyone believe you? Maybe it was David's indifference that calmed White's mood a little, but his tone was still full of doubts.
David frowned slightly, facing doubts and criticisms, but he could not produce anger, because he knew that it was all because of the loyal love of these fans to the club.
Regardless of the outcome, what he did really made everyone sad.
After thinking about it, David explained firmly: The reason why I mortgaged the team to the bank is because I am optimistic about a short-term investment. If it can be successful, then the team will not worry about the next few seasons. Financial problems.
You're joking about the future of the club! White's expression became fierce, like a man-eating tiger.
But I made it! David shrugged and smiled.
Then you can't--, wait! You said you succeeded? He yelled at David habitually, but when he was halfway through, White suddenly stopped the car, and said in an unbelievable shrill voice. .
David stretched out his index finger, shook it in front of White's eyes, and responded proudly: Yes, I succeeded, and now I have 100 million pounds in my hand,
Think about it, what would the club look like if I put this money into the club?
This time it was White's turn to think about life, and the look of astonishment on his face seemed to destroy all the muscles in his face.
A hundred million pounds?
What kind of concept is this? Especially for a third tier club like Notts County.
Or you can compare with some other data.
The Notts County Club's official assessed asset is 15 million pounds, and 100 million pounds can buy nearly seven Notts County.
The white wizard Veron, who is about to complete his transfer to Manchester United, should have a transfer fee of around £28 million. One hundred million pounds can buy three Veron with a surplus. Of course, a star of Veron's level can't be bought with money alone. .
Arsenal's budget for the construction of the stadium is only 150 million pounds. You must know that it is a modern stadium that can accommodate 60,000 fans, and it is definitely in the forefront of England.
Of course, the stadium was finally announced at a cost of nearly £400 million, but that was already the 2006-07 season.
It can be seen that at this time, how powerful the purchasing power of 100 million pounds is.
After dismissing the reporter, who was still in a daze and did not recover, David knew that when he succeeded in his investment and was about to invest a huge sum of money in the club and was known to the fans through the media, all the troubles would be solved, and he would still be in the eyes of the fans. , then the kid who can give everything for the team, yes, the kid from Notts County.
He can fully imagine that this news is definitely more joyful than Christmas for those fans who believe in the team.
For the Nottingham fans next door, I'm afraid this is not good news. A few days ago, David's behavior has become a pastime for the sworn enemy fans. The unbridled ridicule and the downfall, but in a blink of an eye, things are going to be unexpected to them. direction is reversed.
What about going to the abyss?
How did you become rich overnight?
A hundred million pounds?
Nima is enough to buy a few Nottinghams!
They think that this huge sum of money can fall on their club's head, so that Nottingham can get back to its former glory, the era of all-powerful Europe.
David can also imagine what Notts fans and Nottingham fans will talk about when they meet.
Nottingham fans: We have a top league title!
Notts County fans: Count the ball, now we have money!
Nottingham fans: We have two Champions League titles!
Notts County fans: Count the ball, now we have money!
Nottingham fans: We are in League One, you are only in League Two!
Notts County fans: Count the ball, now we have money!
Nottingham fans: ...can you say something else?
Notts County fans: Well, our Notts County has a longer history than you Nottingham!
Nottingham fans: ...
Yes, Notts County does have a longer history than Nottingham. . . . . .
