The Red and White Helmsman's Rebirth as Arsenal's Minority Shareholder

In the summer of 2016, Lin Chen suddenly woke up in the stands of the Emirates Stadium and was reborn as a minority shareholder of 3% of Arsenal's shares - holding the meager shares left by his family in his left hand, and only US$20 million in start-up capital in his right hand. In front of him was the aging lineup at the end of Wenger's coaching, the "blood-sucking operation" of the Kroenke family, and the team's dilemma of getting further and further away from the Premier League championship. Knowing that Arsenal will be trapped in the "fourth curse" in the next four years, he made a fatal vow: before 2020, he will seize 100% controlling interest in the club and return the "Gunners" to the top of Europe. From anonymously sneaking into fan forums to gather public opinion, to using financial loopholes to counter Kroenke's related transactions; from betting on the potential of 18-year-old Saka to lock in future dividends, to teaming up with Usmanov to leverage 30% of the shares; from using hedge fund leverage to achieve a holding counterattack, to using his own money to resolve the epidemic salary crisis... He worked step by step, turning meager capital into a force to control the overall situation amid board games, secret battles in the transfer market, and fans' expectations. In the spring of 2020, when Lin Chen raised the Premier League equity transfer document as the sole owner, Arsenal's new life began: he stayed on as Arteta to build a tactical system, invited Barcelona's youth training director to reconstruct the youth training camp, went to China to expand business territory, and allowed young stars such as Saka and Smith Rowe to shine on the field. From ending the 19-year Premier League championship drought to reaching the Champions League to create a dynasty, the counterattack from 3% to 100% is not only a victory for capital, but also a redemption of faith belonging to red and white - and this is just a new chapter in Arsenal's century-old legend.
