  Chapter 759 Joint Press Conference

  April 21st, London.

  The Times office building, sports news department.

   “Helen, there will be a joint press conference between Arsenal and Chelsea tomorrow, saying that there is some big news to announce, you go and see what big news they have.”

   The editor-in-chief stood at the door of the office and shouted at the large office area.

   A slender and fair arm was raised and waved at the editor-in-chief. The girl named Helen responded, “I see, boss. By the way, where is the conference held, Arsenal club or Chelsea club?”

  Helen is a reporter specializing in football news. She is not very old this year. She looks 23 or 4 years old. She has just joined the newspaper for less than two years.

   In Britain, the status of football is higher than any sports, so in the newspaper, only the elite backbone reporters can be responsible for football news.

   In addition, in a major newspaper such as The Times, it was obviously not an easy task for Helen to become a reporter in charge of a Premier League club at such an age and with such shallow qualifications.

   This is also because Helen graduated from a prestigious school, her ability is indeed outstanding, and she works very hard.

   Therefore, since he joined the newspaper, he was quickly appreciated by the editor-in-chief, so that he could be promoted.

   In general, Premier League clubs have their own office buildings and prefer to be in their own territory when holding so-called press conferences.

  Helen has also participated in many press conferences of various clubs, and she is familiar with it.

   After all, they are the sports news department, and of course they are very familiar with football. After all, in Britain, is there any other sport besides football…

The editor-in-chief opened the folder in his hand, fumbled for a while, found a fax paper, looked at it, and replied, “None of it, at The Goring. Wow, very good hotel, you’re lucky this time. But I estimate that the two clubs will not provide you with catering services, and I suspect that neither of them will be able to pay for the cost of renting a hotel for a conference.”

   It’s no wonder that both clubs are in poor financial shape.

  Chelsea is just the middle and lower level of the Premier League, a small club.

  Although Arsenal is a strong team, their financial situation has continued to deteriorate in recent years. This is something everyone knows, not to mention their well-informed reporters.

   And this The Goring hotel, that is the most luxurious hotel in London!

  , just across from Buckingham Palace, is the first hotel in the world to have private bathrooms and central heating.

   Known for fine dining and high prices.

Helen shrugged and said indifferently: “I only pay attention to what news they have to release, could it be… Are the two clubs going to exchange players! Otherwise, why should the two clubs hold a joint press conference. And , and it must be a player exchange at the star level, otherwise it is not worth holding a separate press conference.”

  伱Don’t say it, it’s really possible.

The editor-in-chief frowned and thought for a while, and said unsurely: “It’s hard to say, I heard rumors in the circle that these two clubs are trading shares and may have to change bosses. Will there be a new boss? That’s why I’m so big to hold a conference at The Goring Hotel this time.”

Helen bit the ballpoint pen in her mouth and said while thinking: “I have heard about this news, and I am still following it up, but the news has not been confirmed. Besides, if it is really acquired, it should not be a joint release. Yes, it’s impossible for one owner to acquire two clubs at the same time, and that’s not allowed. That’s why I guessed that there was a player trade. But that’s not right, after all, the season is not over yet, even if there is a player trade, It shouldn’t be at this time…”

   “Okay, you’ll see what’s going on tomorrow when you go and see. It’s useless for us to guess here.” The editor-in-chief was too lazy to continue guessing and waved.

  Helen nodded. She was also looking forward to it. What big news will come out at the press conference tomorrow…

  …

   The next day, The Goring Hotel opposite Buckingham Palace.

  Reporters from major news organizations gathered, The Times, BBC, Reuters, Daily Express, Daily Mirror, etc…

   Basically, the bigger media came over.

  Helen naturally came to the scene early. In the grand ballroom of The Goring Hotel, before the press conference started, she found a few more familiar colleagues and wanted to inquire about the information.

   “Hey, Jerry, do you know what the **** these two clubs are going to do, how are they going to have a press conference together?” Helen asked.

   That journalist named Jerry works for the BBC and is known for being well informed.

   He shrugged, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: “According to reliable sources, these two clubs are going to change hands!”

  Helen was shocked. Sure enough, what the editor-in-chief said yesterday…

   She hurriedly asked: “If the club changes owners, it should be held at a separate conference. It is impossible for the two clubs acquired by the same investment company or the owner.”

   Jerry couldn’t answer this question.

   After thinking about it, he responded: “Then I don’t know. What is certain is that Chelsea has a new owner 100%. But for Arsenal, it is not certain…”

   We were really talking, the time was up and the press conference was about to start, Helen hurried back to her seat.

   There are two people who are presiding over today’s press conference. They are also old acquaintances of the reporters.

   One is David Dane of Arsenal Club, who is definitely a celebrity in the British football circle, with deep qualifications and wide connections.

  The other, the general manager of Chelsea, is not as famous as David Dane.

“Thank you to all the media reporters for coming. Today, we, Arsenal and Chelsea, held a joint press conference to announce a big event! That is… After the original shareholders of the two clubs have negotiated, both clubs will be in today, Welcome to a new boss…”

  David Dane announced with a spring breeze.

   Before he could finish speaking, there was already a commotion in the audience.

   Because this news is too sudden!

   If it was only Chelsea who changed hands, then everyone would not have such a big reaction. After all, the club is relatively small and not a strong team.

   But Arsenal also suddenly changed hands, which caught everyone off guard.

   The incident happened suddenly, and I was completely unprepared.

  Obviously, David Dane knew the psychological impact everyone was receiving at the moment, so he was not in a hurry, just looked at the audience with a smile, waiting for everyone to quiet down.

   Today, he can be said to be full of spring breeze and in a good mood!

  The “mysterious” investor also arrived in London yesterday and had a private chat with him and coach Wenger…
