Chapter 170 Soon There Will Be
Derby County celebrated for a long time at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. After the celebration, the players were a little tired, but the team returned to Derby County overnight.
They went back by plane, and it was rare for the team's chairman, Ji Smith, to be generous.
When seeing Ji Smith, Mr. Chairman had a smile on his face. Even if he had more confidence in Wansheng and the team, Ji Smith could not imagine that the team could beat Manchester United in Cardiff and help the team. Taking back an FA Cup trophy is the second time Derby County has won it in 58 years. It is of great significance to the club. At the same time, this FA Cup championship has also brought 1 million to the team. Sterling Championship Bonus.
The £1 million bonus is not much, but it is not bad for the Derby County club. Gee Smith gave 500,000 points to the coach, players and staff, including Wansheng's special bonus - Wansheng's In the contract, there is a share of bonuses for the team to win the championship. If he wins the FA Cup, he can get 200,000 pounds.
This amount of money is not a small amount. It is estimated that Ji-Smith did not expect Wansheng to really lead the team to win the league championship and the FA Cup championship. The bonus share brought to Wansheng by these two championships alone is more than that of him in a year. salary is twice as high.
But Gee-Smith was only happy.
If you can spend so much money to buy these two championships, no club will refuse, and the bonus to Wansheng is a lot, but the two championships will bring more benefits to the club.
After returning to Derby, all the players called the bus to the club, and the next day they had a parade to celebrate, the same as the last time they won the league title, but obviously this time it will be more crazy because this time they Won the FA Cup.
The FA Cup title is of great significance to English clubs. In the hearts of English fans, the FA Cup title is more important than the top league title. Because of this, every club cares so much about the FA Cup, and the League One title is really nothing compared to the FA Cup.
So fans are very enthusiastic about celebrating the championship.
This time, the town of Great Derbyshire was much crazier than the last time. The celebration lasted for three days, and the whole region fell into a three-day carnival. The streets were full of celebratory crowds. Some large vehicles have even been banned, and Greater Derbyshire Town Hall has decorated the streets with flashing lights of various colors, which are often only used at Christmas.
All in all, for three days, Derbyshire was full of enthusiasm and seemed more lively than Christmas.
......
The celebrations in the Great Derbyshire town continued for three full days, before the celebrations subsided and the fans returned to their normal lives.
until this time. The Derby County club has only announced that the players are on holiday.
League One teams not required to participate in the promotion play-offs. As early as ten days ago, the league ended. Under normal circumstances, the team will have a holiday immediately after the game against Manchester United, but Derby County Club is still three days later. After all, the players want to party with the fans, but there is no team in the team. What to complain about, they also hope that the more this celebration, the better, after all, this is the FA Cup winner. An honor that many players never get in a lifetime.
After the fan signing ceremony that day, Wansheng called all the players. And announced the disbandment of the team, "We have worked hard for a year, and we have achieved a lot, including two championship trophies. I think we have been successful this season."
Everyone smiled and nodded.
Wan Sheng continued, "But I think that for many of you young people, the biggest gain is not two championships, but the result of a season of hard work, I think you can all feel the improvement over the past year, this is the is the most important to you."
"Starting in August, we're going to the Premier League. It's the top league. Some of you have participated, some of you have not. It's nothing. It's my first time leading the team, you know..."
Hearing this, everyone burst out laughing.
Only then did they realize that the dignified head coach in front of them was only 27 years old. There are many players at this age, but very few coaches at this age. Among them, successful ones can be found... Wan Sheng is one, of course he has not led the team to participate in the top league, and it is the first time that he has coached Derby County.
Wan Sheng continued with a smile, "So, like many of you, I am preparing to participate in the top league for the first time, the difference is that I am the coach and you are the players, but I hope this time next year, we can still Happy to celebrate, to celebrate the team's achievements, to celebrate the championship, even if the top league title is a little far away for us, at least, I hope we will not only be happy to be relegated. Do you understand what I mean? "
Everyone nodded.
Derby County's return to the Premier League is, in the eyes of many people, that they can only work hard to avoid relegation. Wansheng means naturally that they do not want the team to linger in the relegation circle, but to achieve better results.
"If you want to achieve better results, you have to work harder. Many of you have performed well this season, very good, and the media and fans have also rated you highly, but we are only playing in the League One, yes In the second league, I don't think anyone will refuse to do well in the top league, but if you want to do it, you have to keep working hard!"
Wan Sheng finished speaking and looked at everyone.
Finally concluded, "The team will be disbanded in a while, and you will have more than a month's vacation. I hope that when I see you again in a month's time, there will be no overweight guys, and there will be no vacation to focus on all your energy. Soft-footed shrimp on a woman's belly, then I'll definitely let him know it's hard to get back in shape..."
Wan Sheng's words are not threatening, but everyone thinks about the rigor of recovery training and physical training on weekdays, and still breaks out in a cold sweat.
If the state is not good, it is indeed possible to restore the state again. They also know that Wansheng will definitely have a solution, but the hard work that must be paid in the recovery process is not something ordinary people are willing to face.
Some players who want to indulge think that the "pleasure level" of the holiday seems to be toned down.
......
The 2003-2004 season has come to an end, and the English football situation has changed this season, and the two clubs that attract the most attention are undoubtedly the two clubs.
One is Chelsea, where Russian giant Roman Abramovich has settled in. After throwing 100 million euros crazy last summer, they beat Manchester United this season and achieved the second best result in the league.
Another is League One side Derby County, who miraculously beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final. Won the FA Cup.
The former, famously Abramovich.
All England, and even the whole world knows his name. Perhaps Abramovich was also famous before. He was the richest man in Russia. But in fact. Not many people care who the richest man in Russia is, but now that his name is associated with football and Chelsea, more and more people know him.
The latter is famous for Wansheng.
Anyone who follows the FA Cup final knows why Derby County won against Manchester United, not because of how good one of their players was. Nor was it because of how strong their overall performance in the final was. The main reason is that they have a young head coach from China - Wan Sheng.
Several players from Derby County, including Leighton Baines, Frank Ribery, and goalkeeper Oakes, all became famous in this game, but no matter how much they rose, they couldn't keep up with Wansheng.
There are so many things to draw attention to in Wansheng.
He is Chinese, he is only 27 years old, it is the first time he has officially led the team for a season, and he has won two championships.
It all adds up. Almost everyone who pays attention to Derby County will be interested in Wansheng.
With the increase of fame. Advertisers from all walks of life have also come to the door, and Kevin Tagore has also become busy. He is not a full-time broker. His main job is still in investment companies, but even part-time jobs need to be handled.
Fortunately, Kevin Tagore's vision is very high. For some small companies and small product endorsement contracts, he will simply pass it off, shoot an advertisement, and the income is not as high as the investment company's profit for a week. How can you want Wansheng to shoot this kind of thing? Small ads are worth the trouble.
However, the reputation of Wansheng is still difficult to attract those really big companies, so Kevin Tagore's work is much simpler. After screening, there are not a few endorsement invitations left.
Wansheng doesn't care about this.
He is very aware of his current reputation, and it is difficult to get a real big contract. After all, no matter how much attention he receives, he is only a coach. In terms of advertising endorsements, coaches are worse than players, and their reputation will also be much worse. As for the endorsement contract of a really big company, he doesn't have to rush to sign it now. Even if he signs it now, he will sign some short-term contracts. If he is more famous in the future, the benefits of the endorsement contract will naturally be better.
So in this regard, Wansheng is still better than lacking.
Perhaps more importantly, besides his own salary, he is most concerned about investment companies. The development of his investment company with Kevin Tagore can make more money than if he worked hard to do endorsements, but now he invests The scale of the company is not large, and the total assets are around 3 million pounds. This amount of money is really unrecoverable in the investment industry.
But in fact, the profits of investment companies have been quite amazing.
The initial investment of Wansheng and Kevin Tagore was only 1 million pounds. The subsequent investment of the two together was less than 500,000 pounds. In addition to the fundraising in the Greater Derby County area, it was only about 500,000 pounds. That is to say, within a few months, the return of the investment company has reached at least 50% or more.
Kevin Tagore's control of capital investment is still concentrated in Apple and the news website MarketWatch. The stocks of these two companies have risen by a high rate. They are directly manipulated in the form of short-term investment and income. Even as a retail investor, the profit ratio is still very high.
Wansheng even knows that Apple's stock price has risen by more than 30 times in 10 years. He doesn't know the exact value, but in general it is at least 30 times. After ten years, the money will become 30 million pounds, and it will triple in one year on average, and it will double in more than 4 months.
It's a pity they didn't catch up to the low value of the stock price so that the earnings wouldn't be too high.
But recently Kevin Tagore's focus is on MarketWatch. Apple's stock price has plummeted due to Steve Jobs's pancreatic cancer diagnosis. It is not a good choice to make short-term investments now. Nevertheless, there are two stocks Stocks that are sure to rise in the general trend can be selected, and if a professional genius like Kevin Tagore manages them with short-term investment, the profits of investment companies are very amazing.
So when Kevin Tagore proudly helped Wansheng PASS to get rid of the advertising endorsements of those small companies, and compared it with the amazing profits of investment companies, Wansheng just curled his lips in disdain, "Kevin, you need to know, I The company's largest shareholder."
Kevin - Tagore immediately withered.
However, he was quite satisfied. Now he really admires Wan Sheng's vision. He has always thought that Wan Sheng is a genius, but he did not expect him to have such an accurate vision in the financial industry.
Next, Kevin Tagore talked about the recent trends in the U.S. stock market, and also talked about some problems encountered, "It's good for us to continue to make short-term investments, but if we want to raise more funds, we must do some long-term investments. Investment, otherwise the company's capital chain will be very unstable."
Wan Sheng understood what Tagore meant.
As an investment company, if you want to raise funds normally, you must have long-term investment projects. It is like the central bank needs gold reserves. Without gold reserves, all guarantees are empty. Only when gold reserves are sufficient can they be issued with confidence More banknotes, the same is true for investment companies. Long-term investment is the guarantee of funds. If the capital chain is disconnected, it is a big deal to sell some long-term investment stocks. Of course, the premise is that these stocks will not lose money, otherwise it will really be worth the loss.
But it’s a little early to talk about these things. If you want to make long-term investments, you will definitely need a lot of money. To invest in the company’s current market value of 3 million pounds, this investment must be at least 2 million pounds or more, preferably 3 million pounds. But the market value is the market value, they can't withdraw the investment, and directly put out 3 million pounds to make the investment.
So where does the money come from? Still need future profits.
According to the current rate of return of investment companies, it will take at least a year. Hearing Kevin Tagore's statement, Wansheng suddenly remembered something, "Is Google's stock going to be sold?"
Kevin - Tagore nodded, "August, there is a lot of news, that company is very popular in raising funds."
Wan Sheng smiled.
The low value of Apple's stock price will definitely not catch up, but Google's stock has not yet been issued, they can still catch up with the low value of the stock price, even if Google's stock price will not keep up with Apple's future growth, but as the next decade, there are several US stocks with high growth rate. , to catch up with the lowest value to buy, it is guaranteed that it will double ten times in ten years.
"We're going to focus on Google's stock next, and as long as we have money, we'll put it all in."
Kevin Tagore didn't understand, "But we don't have much money..."
"It will be soon." Wan Sheng smiled mysteriously. (To be continued ~^~)
