Chapter 341 Falling into the Abyss White Army Corps
The capital of West Yorkshire in England is called Leeds. The city is located between London and Edinburgh. It is the center of the entire United Kingdom and the second largest city after London.

London is known as one of the largest financial centers in the world, and Leeds is the second largest financial center in the UK after London. At the same time, Leeds is the transportation hub of the entire UK and an important economic, commercial, industrial and cultural center of the entire UK.

When it comes to football, you will definitely think of the team named after the city, the young guards that were once famous throughout Europe, Leeds United.

The predecessor of Leeds United was established in 1904. After more than ten years of development, it was officially established in 1919. The home stadium is called Elland Road Stadium.

But not surprisingly, Leeds United will lose their home stadium in the near future, because the team is negotiating about selling the naming rights of the stadium.

Bankruptcy, for a football club, this is definitely the last word to mention and hear, but this word has been entangled with Leeds United for four years.

Since 00-01, Leeds United has been on the road to bankruptcy. The strong support of the Young Guards is huge financial investment. However, when Leeds United failed to enter the top four and the Champions League in the 01-02 season, the fragile Young Guards immediately collapsed.

Overnight, Leeds United was in debt of 8000 million.

Faced with this situation, it is obvious that Peter Ridsdale, the chairman of the club, can only collect funds to repay debts by selling players.

Rio Ferdinand, Woodgate, Bowyer, Robbie Keane, Alan Smith, Kewell, Paul Robinson, Viduka and other players who made Leeds United fans proud began to be divided up by other Premier League teams.

But even so, Leeds United still failed to fully repay, coupled with the club's daily expenses, and finally last season, Ridsdale was fired and Leeds United was placed under trusteeship.

Just after Leeds United was taken into custody, a businessman named Gerald Krasnell bought Leeds United for 2000 million pounds.

But it is a pity that Krasnell's financial resources are not very strong, and he cannot help Leeds United revive. At the end of the season, Leeds United will sink further and will enter the British Championship.

Now that the season has come to an end, Leeds United is unable to complete self-salvation. In the British Championship, although the data is safe for relegation, there is no hope for promotion.

This is obviously another heavy blow to Leeds United. You must know that the club is still in debt. Although most of it has been paid off, there are still nearly 2000 million yuan. In addition to the club's own expenses, Krasnell is obviously no longer able to support, or he is no longer willing to support this hopeless team.

Therefore, there are rumors that Krasnell is selling Leeds United, and in order to completely throw away this burden, Krasnell directly listed a price of 1000 million pounds. You know, he spent 2000 million when he moved to Leeds United.

"In other words, to enter Leeds United, you need at least 5000 to [-] million pounds?" Li Yi said with Corleone giving him the assessment result.

"Yes, 1000 million to buy the club, 2000 million to repay the debt, and the rest needs at least 1000 million for various expenses of the team. According to my understanding, the salaries of Leeds United's players this season have not been paid. That is to say, the 1000 million belongs to this season's expenses and needs to be invested in next season. This is why the chairman of Leeds United is willing to throw away 1000 million pounds." Corleone obviously investigated in detail.

"The money I can take out immediately should be around 2000 million pounds." This is the limit that Li Yicheng can take out at present.

Li Yi's annual salary is not high, but his own commercial value is very high. He led Cagliari to win the championship last season and it even soared. In the past year, Li Yi has received more than a dozen endorsements alone, plus commercial activities, he has accumulated such a wealth without knowing it.

Although Li Yi knew that he was rich, he didn't know that he had unknowingly accumulated such a considerable amount of wealth until he checked it out. But obviously, this considerable amount of wealth was not enough to support him to buy and operate a club.

"Help me see, how much money can I get from cashing out these shares?" Li Yi was actually prepared, and handed Corleone a document.

"OhGodYou guys are really rich." This was Li Yi's previous purchase of shares by seizing the tail of Amazon and Apple's development.

"The development of these two companies is very good." Although Corleone is not interested in inheriting the family, he just learned about the situation of these two companies from his second brother when he returned home last time. Even Corleone's current owner is very regretful that he failed to buy shares in the two companies at the most appropriate time.

"I also saw these two companies, so I bought the shares a long time ago, but now I only have so little money, so I can only cash it out," Li Yi said helplessly.

"If you are short of money, I can advance a branch first." At this moment, Bellucci, who had been playing with his two daughters, turned his head and said to Li Yi.

It is said that Bellucci, who has worked hard for most of her life, is an out-and-out rich woman, and her net worth must be much richer than Li Yi's.

"If I really want to buy Leeds United, I can actually invest a little bit," Corleone also said.

"UhAren't you guys too bored?" Although Li Yi was a little moved, he couldn't say it out of his mouth.

"Mike Have you forgotten that you are still a football agent?" Obviously, the Premier League actually has clear regulations that agents cannot work in Serie A clubs, even if they are shareholders.

"Damn" Corleone was suddenly depressed.

"However, you can lend me some money. Let me use my shares as collateral, or I can sell my shares to you." Corleone gave Li Yi a good idea.

"Well, you can borrow me, like Mike did, but actually I have a better proposal." Li Yi turned his head and said to Bellucci.

"You want me to invest?" Bellucci had already guessed Li Yi's proposal.

"Yes, but other than that, I hope you will be the chairman of the club." Li Yi expressed his true thoughts.

"I'll be the chairman?" Bellucci was obviously shocked by Li Yi's idea.

"HahahaBruce, you are such a genius." Before Li Yi could speak, Corleone jumped up.

"But I don't know how to run a club at all." Bellucci ignored the excited Corleone.

"You don't need to worry about this at all. You can learn it if you don't know it. Besides, running a club well is not a matter for one person, but a good team." Although this idea is temporary, Li Yi has already considered other aspects. After all, it is impossible for him to be the chairman of the team.
