Chapter 1. Forming the company
1974: A boy is born in the Svensson household in Vasteras Sweden, he gets the name Sven Jonas.
1981: Sven Svensson begins playing football
1987: When the stockmarket crashes Sven gets intrested in stocks when he hear his father telling them what a stock is
1989: Sven is picked for the province squad
1990: Sven plays in the Swedish U-16 team and the experts say he could be a really good defender in a few years.
1992: Sven joins the squad of Vasteras SK, mostly plays in the reserve team. During the final game of the first half of the season Sven gets tragic news. His parents and kid sister have died in a carcrash and he is the sole heir to their fortune of 25 million kronor in the bank and stocks worth over 100 million kronor. He have turned 18 a few weeks before so he can do whatever he wants with the money. He is now a well educated young man and see the potential in Russias oilcompanies and invest 15 million in Putin Oil. Sven made a small fortune a day in the fallwhen he invested 4 million in dollar at the rate of 4:1 and the day after the krona was allowed to float and he earned 2 million in a day.
1993: Sven plays for VSK and now plays more than half the games and everyone is expecting him to be the next big thing. Is picked for the U-21 team. Sven sells stocks worth 40 million kronor in the investment company Investor and buys stocks in the company called MODO. He sells 8 million stocks in ABB and invest them all in Ericssonstocks. He owns 15% of Putin Oil and the russians dont like him to much, but since he gives them advice on management they dont force him to sell, the stock has risen 25% from the following year. Sven founds the compnay Svenne74 to place his money in as a way to escape the tax.
1994: Sven continues to play for VSK and now he is a regular starter. The swedish national team suffers two injuries before the 1994 worldcup(Janne Eriksson as OTL and Mikael Nilsson(just because)). Coach Tommy Svensson phones Sven Svensson and Teddy Lucic and add them to the squad. Neither is expected to play a single minute. The tournamen goes as OTL until the semifinal against Brazil. At half time Roland Nilsson feels ill and have to go off, coach Svensson decide to take a chance. He have a feeling that Brazil will win anyway since they owned the game and he puts on Svens. Its a big gamble. Sven show in minute 47 that he isnt a a cone when he simply takes the ball from Romario and starts a swedish attack that amounts to nothing. For the next 16 minutes Sven dont leave Romario for a second and Brazils game come to a screetching halt. Sweden now takes controll of the game and in minute 65 Sven breaks a pass, passes the ball to Tomas Brolin, that passes out to Stefan Schwarz(not sent out ITTL) who advances and passes to the right were Sven is running like a bat out of hell and enters the penalty area and shoots the ball into the net. Brazil is in shock, the world is in chock. In Sweden the night is broken by loud cheers. Brazil tries to equalise, but fail. In minute 89 they get a corner. Its headed away by Sven to Klas Ingesson that sends the ball upfield where Jesper Blomqivst is running and advances along the sideline and heads the ball into the center were Henrik Larsson stands without marking and showes the ball into the net. Sweden have beaten Brazil and gone to face Italy in the final.
For the next days the swedish nation goes into chock. Most of the population is on vacation anyway, but those that work dont get much done. The hospitals get lots of people into their ER that have near death experiences.
In the final Sweden has to make a few changes since Martin Dahlin cant play because he has a injury in his foot and Roland Nilsson has influenza. Sweden musters the following team:
GK: Thomas Ravelli
Defensive line: Sven Svensson
Patrick Andersson
Joachim Bjorklund
Roger Ljung
Midfield:
Klas Ingesson
Stefan Schwarz
Jonas Thern
Thomas Brolin
Strikers:
Henrik Larsson
Kennet Andersson
Italy musters the following team
http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/edition=84/results/matches/match=3104/report.html and look at Italy (Thus same team as OTL)
The game begins wery slow, both teams look for a week spot and for 10 minutes the ball isnt near the penalty area any time.
Minute 11: Jonas Thern collects the ball, passes to Brolin that runs with it, stays clear of the italian defense and passes to Henrik Larsson just outside the penalty box. He shoots.....but Pagliuca saves easy.
Minute 15: Baresi takes the ball who sends it upfield to Dino Baggio who heads it to Donadoni and Donadoni rounds Roger Ljung and shoots in the far corner without any chance for Ravelli. 1-0 to Italy
Minute 17: Donadoni test a new shot, Ravelli saves. Throws it out to Sven that passes to Jonas Thern while running along the side, Thern passes Brolin who just let the ball go to a storming Sven that shoots and scores. 1 – 1
Minute 35: Dino Baggio is booked.
At halftime the score is even and not much has happened in the game after the equaliser and in the swedish dressingroom coach Tommy Svensson goes around looking at every player in the squad and chanting: “This is our time, who will be the hero? Dont be afraid, the other sides are more affraid of loosing than looking forward to winning. They have everything to loose, we dont. Go out and have fun, you are already heroes”
Minute 49: Corner for Sweden, Svensson takes it and sends it into the penalty box were Kennet Andersson jumps up and heads it in the goal. 2-1 to Sweden
Minute 50: Italy kicks off, Baggio tries a hard pass to Albertini, but Henrik Larsson breaks it and storm ahead and is kicked down by Baresi. Barese is awareded a yellow card. Sweden tries the same free kick as in the Romaniagame and it is successfull and Brolin scores 3-1.
That goal traumatize the italians that dont even try to regain the initative. The rest of the game is a long wait for the final whistle.
After the game the swedes are in shock, but the world is even more shocked. Sweden have become world champions, would would have thought that 4 years ago when Medford scored 2-1 for Costa Rica and sending Sweden home from Italy in discrace.
The trip back to Sweden is a victoryparade. A fighterwing from Norway escorts the champions over norway and the entire swedish airforce turns up as escorts when the plane crosses the swedish border. The planed decends to 3000 meters so that everyone can see the plane in the clear sky. The reseption is absolute chaos when the champions arrive in Stockholm. After the TV-aired reception Sven leaves the squad for this time and goes home and collapses. He sleeps for 24 hours.
In August Sven is bought by Manchester United in a 5 year deal.
The first season 1994/1995 Sven plays a few games, but he dont start regulary, but he trains hard and hope to get his chance.
In the summer of 1995 Sven gets an offer for all his stocks in Putin Oil worth 1 billion(billion in this thread will be 1 000 000 00) dollar. Sven takes the deal, knowing that even though his stocks were worth 3 times that he could loose everything because it was russia. Sven now buys different type of stocks. After transfering the money to swedish he has 8,5 billion kronor from that deal. His company Svenne74 gets a big transfusion of cash and Sven begins hirering people. He knows that the days of petrolrun engines and wants engineers to research other types of run engines. He buys Ericssonstocks for 1 billion kronor and gets 10% of the votes in the company. Manchester united likes him because even though he is becoming a big star, he only wants a small salary compared to many others, “only” 1 million pound/season.
The 1995/96 season Sven plays around half the games as a starter and the rest he starts on the bench. He is a complete loyal player and he becomes friend with David Beckham, another footballer that knows how to make cash off the field
Sweden misses Euro 1996, partly because coach Tommy Svensson dont nominate Sven for a spot in the national team and often sits on the bench. Sweden also misses the world cup in 1998 because they are building a new team, but now Sven is playing from the start in every cap whenever his body can manage it.
The footballingseasons 1996/97 and 97/98 are minor fun for Sven, he breaks a leg in one of the first game of the season in the 96/97 season and its a complicated fracture and when he can play again he injures his foot. He returns fully fit on the field again in february 98 and plays well in the games in the end.
Sven is a better stocktrader and sells his Ericssonstocks in the middle of 1998 for 11 times the worth he bought for them. He also sence a shift in the air and sell every stock he got and starts trading in oil. Svens neth worth is now 21,5 billion kronor and his company has 100 employes(mostly engineers) that tries to make a new type of engine.
In the season of 1998/99 Sven plays his final season for Manchester united and crowns his years with the club by scoring the 3rd and final goal in the Champions league final after Manchester turned the tide in the last 5 minutes of the game against Bayer Münch. Sven now goes to play for Juventus in a 4 year deal
Sven plays for Juventus between the season 99/00 and 04/05 winning the league several times and teaching a newcommer named Zlatan Ibrahimovich a thing or two about life. He plays in the national squad, that playes the same games as OTL and scores the same results
In 2005 the company Svenne74 makes a breakthrough and finish the construction of a solardriven engine. Sven decides to rename the company into S J Svensson inc. The swedish traincompany SJ dont like the name, but realise that just as LM Ericsson is only called Ericsson this company soon will be named Svensson in the eyes of the people. Sven has a net worth of 30 billion kronor and makes a deal with Ford that transfer the company Volvo to Svensson for 25 billion kronor, Ford just want to get rid of Volvo. The solarpowered enginee is simply called Sven1 and is issued to the new type of Volvo called S 74.
Sven now needs to focus more on the buisness in his life and moves closer to the manufacturing plants of his comapanies. He moves to IFK Goteborg and plays there between 2005 and 2008 while building new factories around the country. In 2008 he makes his final tournament in the swedish jersey and shocks the world at a live pressconfrence the day before the cruicial russian game.
“If the parliament votes that the FRA act goes into effect, we will give the game away tomorrow to the russians.”
It becomes the biggest newsstory in the world and the parliament dont know what to do and a majority of the seats vote no to the FRA act and a day later votes that the FRA should be disbanded. But its to late, Russia wins anyway.
Coming home to Sweden Sven is hailed a hero, unfortunally FIFA dont like mixing politics and football and banns Sven for life from any more active league footballing as a player. Sven leaves the footballing scene and heads back to Vasteras were the Svensson company hq is.
What happened to the S74 and the Sven1 engine? Its a moderate success, unfortunally the cars cant run wery fast so its back to the drawing board. But Volvo gets new life and Svensson company hq will soon have something better.
2009 Svensson INC makes a breakthrough. Its a hydrogendriven enginee. Its tested in the S74 and is a big success. It has the same power as a enginee driven on petrol, but much cheaper. Svensson INC patent it, the company is now becoming a big player.
