Chapter 744: Chapter 744 World Aristocracy_1

After acquiring the club, how much more would need to be invested in transfer funds was a question that Wang Ye had already considered.

His current wealth is indeed not less than A Bu’s, so it’s not an exaggeration to say that he is wealthier than A Bu.

However, Wang Ye’s business is still in a growth phase, which requires constant and substantial investment!

On the other hand, A Bu’s business is already mature, with cash readily available as he is gradually realizing and exiting his assets.

When it comes to cash that can be freely disposed of, Wang is far behind A Bu.

Moreover, when A Bu acquired the Chelsea Club, it was meant to create a contingency plan for himself and to expand his connections within the British society, thus any expense was worthwhile!

But Wang Ye didn’t need to do that, even if he were looking for a fallback, he wouldn’t choose Britain...

Additionally, even though both Wang Ye and A Bu are "outsiders" in the world of football who want to build their clubs into elites of the football circle, their approach and choices vastly differ.

A Bu’s choice is quite clear, which is to spend heavily!

He flexes his chequebook and buys superstars from around the world to "stack" up an elite team.

Of course, in this process, a lot of waste would be created, buying many players that were ill-fitted for the team or overrated.

Whilst Wang Ye is also an outsider, he possesses a "unique secret" that no one in this era has!

That is, he clearly knows which players will rise within the next few years or even decades in world football and who will prove to be a "flop" even though they seemed like superstars in 2003.

In other words, Wang Ye can "accurately" bring real superstar capabilities to Arsenal, ensuring that every major draft will not be wasted.

The transfer funds will be spent wisely!

Therefore, like A Bu, he does not need to sink in hundreds of millions of US Dollars over a few years while the team’s performance is not necessarily good, going on needless detours.

It wasn’t until they brought in the magical Jose Mourinho as coach that the team started to truly perform.

Of course, this does not mean that Wang Ye is reluctant to spend big money on superstars, but rather that he will not waste his money.

As for those superstars who are indeed worth the price, Wang Ye will not hesitate to spend the money.

Actually, when he was planning to acquire Arsenal Club, Wang Ye already had clear transfer targets in mind. There were two or three players that he had to secure!

At the same time, he wouldn’t start by buying a whole bunch of superstars all at once. That would disrupt the structure of Arsenal’s team, and the result might not be good.

Don’t forget that even without Wang Ye’s involvement, Arsenal in the 03-04 season was still unstoppable in the Premier League!

Now, with him as a strong backer, Arsenal will not only dominate in the Premier League but also achieve good performance in the UEFA Champions League, the real arena of the champions!

......

"Mr. David Dain, you don’t need to worry about these issues related to funding for the transfers. As long as the player is needed by the club, regardless of his price, if the team they’re playing for agrees to let them go, I’ll pay for it. Since I’ve taken over Arsenal, this club can’t just aim to be the leading club in the Premier League, but rather must become a titan in world football."

Wang Ye said with a cheerful smile, and although he spoke lightly, one could tell by his tone that he was full of confidence and determination.

David Dain felt a lump in his throat, his eyes growing moist.

At this moment, he was overwhelmed with emotion. After all, wasn’t this the goal that he had been working so hard for these past many years for Arsenal!

Unfortunately, his own abilities and financial strength were not enough to support such an ambitious goal, hence why he was forced to find a larger shareholder who could contribute more to the club.

Today, he finally found the right person for the job!

In front of him was Mikhail, whose status, position, and financial strength were all second to none.

More importantly, from his words, he could hear his love for football and his respect for the club’s history!

This was the most precious quality.

"Well, we can now discuss the specifics of the acquisition process," said Wang Ye.

David Dain vigorously nodded, "Of course, if you want to buy Arsenal Club, I would suggest a full acquisition, to get rid of all those selfish guys from the board. Otherwise, they would do harm sooner or later. I can lead this endeavor and secure the shares of several major stakeholders first. As long as we exceed the critical limit of seventy-five percent, we can initiate privatization. Whether the minority shareholders are willing or not, they will have to surrender their shares and leave..."

With David’s narration, the acquisition plan for the Arsenal Club grew clearer.

Indeed, such matters required the involvement of someone professional like David Dain, a veteran who had worked for the club for over a decade and was also a major shareholder of Arsenal.

With his cooperation, things were much easier for Wang Ye, who only need to sign checks...

In the end, Wang Ye nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Mr. David Dain, I know you also hold Arsenal Club dear to your heart. After I acquire the club, I hope you can stay on. I will not hold any position in the club, so you will still remain the club’s main person in charge. I hope that with you and Coach Wenger’s cooperation, the club can be managed even better."

Arsenal Club’s fans should be familiar with David Dain and Wenger, who are both irreplaceable figures in the club!

Arsenal wouldn’t be as great as it is without either of them.

David Dain manages internal affairs and is responsible for the daily operations of the club, expanding the football circle contacts. Not only does he hold a high status and great influence in British football, but he also has numerous friends in European football and even world football.

It is precisely because of his "logistical support" that Wenger can focus on the stadium, coaching the team, and achieving good results.

As for Coach Wenger, he is in charge of the competition. Undoubtedly, Wenger is a world-class coach with top-notch tactical levels and player training abilities.

With these two people, the club’s performances and development will be guaranteed.

With them, Wang Ye will have a much easier time, occasionally writing checks and giving money will suffice...

......

He only stayed in Moscow for one day, and on the second day, David Dain returned to London.

Contrary to his heavy thoughts when he arrived, he left with a spring in his step and his head held high.

Since he had already obtained a guarantee from Wang Ye, they had also agreed on the process of acquiring the Arsenal Club. Once he returned to London, he could start taking action immediately...
