Chapter 415 Fight Against Taiwan
"Someone wants to organize the International Champions Cup?"
As soon as they heard the news, Stephen Ross and Matt Higgins couldn't help but look at each other, dumbfounded.
The huge plan that he was brewing was unexpectedly grabbed first?
"Who is it?" Stephen Ross looked sullen.
Damn, this is too unkind, isn't it?
He even rushed out to cut Hu in the middle of the road?
It's just insane
Matt Higgins remembered another thing.
The U.S. market is a big piece of cake. It's true that other competitors will be eyeing this piece of cake, which is not surprising.
But the question is, who has such a strong strength?
To put together such an event, it is not that you can do it with money.
This needs to have a wide range of contacts in the football circle.
Otherwise, those giant teams, who will listen to you?
Charity Tilitano sighed deeply with a helpless expression on his face.
"I received news that this time the host of the International Champions Cup is a company called Miracle Media."
"Miracle Media?" Matt Higgins frowned.
Never heard of it
"In the past year, they have acquired Swiss Infront and ing"
This time Matt Higgins was dumbfounded, "It turned out to be them"
Even American real estate tycoon Stephen Ross was moved.
Although he is not a person in that circle, he has heard about it to some extent.
Both companies have a pivotal influence in the field of sports. Infront Switzerland has an extraordinary relationship with FIFA and the International Olympic Committee, while ing company can be said to be a leader in almost all fields such as sports and entertainment. boss.
Unexpectedly, such two companies were acquired by the same company.
Just for this, Stephen Ross is ashamed.
"What is the origin of this company?" Matt Higgins asked curiously.
"Do you know Uncle Piao and Lin Yun'er?" Charlie Tilitano asked rhetorically.
Stephen Ross nodded.
"The popularity of these two superstars is the driving force behind Miracle Media. It is said that in the past two years, Miracle Media has earned at least $500 million worldwide thanks to these two superstars."
Speaking of this, Charlie Tilitano couldn't help but be amazed.
It is quite rare to be able to make a superstar popular, but Miracle Media has made two popular.
Moreover, they are also making money from these two superstars.
You can see how well this company works.
"Charlie, even so, they don't have the ability to buy these two big companies." Stephen Ross felt that something was wrong.
Charlie Tilitano smiled bitterly, "Of course, but behind Miracle Media is WeChat."
WeChat?
Stephen Ross and Matt Higgins moved again
This mobile app is too familiar to them, and they use it almost every day
But they never thought that WeChat company would actually involve football.
Wait, I seem to have heard before that the owner of the WeChat company is the owner of a football club, it seems like...
"Yes, behind WeChat is the owner of Southampton, Yang Huan"
Now all the mysteries are revealed
But what was left to the three present was shock
There is no other reason, Yang Huan and his WeChat have become so popular in the past two years
Stephen o Ross and Matt o Higgins formed the f company, specializing in venture capital, and naturally heard something.
Today’s venture capitalists want to invest most in WeChat and its several branches.
The market value of WeChat has been conservatively estimated to have exceeded 50 billion US dollars, and the industry generally believes that once the world-renowned company is listed, its market value will exceed 100 billion US dollars.
But this is just WeChat company.
There is also a WeChat game company that is also very optimistic about the outside world. Especially in the past two years, it has developed quite rapidly in the game field and has become the most profitable and successful game developer on the smart mobile platform, with a valuation of more than 5 billion. Dollar.
Not to mention burning after reading, this app has caused a frenzy on the Internet almost all over the world once it was launched, and it has even begun to shake the status of Facebook, which even offered a $3 billion subscription. Cash acquisition.
That's three billion dollars, not Zimbabwean dollars, but U.S. dollars
Stephen Ross was shocked when he thought about it, but Yang Huan unceremoniously rejected the takeover proposal.
When the reporter asked about the reason, the company's spokesman said something very rich.
"We are not bad for money"
Interestingly, the idea of this app came from Yang Huan, and the purpose is simply... to pick up girls.
This has already spread as a good talk among netizens and media reporters all over the world
In addition, there are many popular applications such as an and ttur, all of which have aroused the enthusiasm of many users on the Internet, and their valuations are also in billions of dollars.
There is also news that WeChat company is far ahead in the two fields of augmented reality technology and virtual reality technology, and will officially launch two smart glasses in 2012, making the whole world look forward to it.
And Yang Huan, who is only 22 years old, has also become the world's most prosperous second-generation wealthy.
Stephen Ross would never have thought that Yang Huan would not do a good job of the Internet, but came to organize the International Champions Cup
Isn't this bullying?
I've worked hard to build up my character for many years, organized two North American Invitational Tournaments, and invigorated the American football market. Now, it's almost the harvest season, but you came in for no reason and harvested the fruits of my victory?
so hateful
It's just unbearable uncle
"I received news that Miracle Media has been preparing to enter the field of operating football events since a year ago, so it has acquired two companies, Infront and ing, in a low-key manner, and launched the International Champions Cup and the UEFA Youth Champions League. competition."
Charitti Litano had to admit that, at least in the field of football, they were not familiar with Yang Huan and others.
People are engaged in professional football, and they are people in the inner circle. Naturally, they know each other well.
"Leaving the International Champions Cup aside, let's just say the UEFA Youth Champions League. They have been authorized by UEFA and FIFA, and the conditions for European teams are also very generous, including free accommodation and transportation, so they can win the game. There are extra big bonuses, even Real Madrid and Barcelona, it's hard to resist the temptation."
Stephen Ross couldn't help but feel depressed when he heard this, "Can they make money by doing this?"
Matt Higgins on the side smiled bitterly, "Maybe they don't plan to make money in the early stage, they are just optimistic about this market, so they will come in first and attack all potential competitors, including us. When it collapses, the entire market will be theirs.”
This is a typical Internet thinking logic
Stephen Ross snorted when he heard it, and he wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp either.
Being able to sit in the position of the top five real estate tycoons in the United States, his strength and influence should not be underestimated.
"Hmph, do they have the ability to kill us all?"
Matt Higgins and Charlie Tilitano understood what the boss meant.
"Go, contact the strong teams in Europe, how much they give, we give as much, where they want to do it, we also want to do it, I will give them a head-on attack"
Just kidding, I have worked so hard to manage the market for so many years, how can I just hand it over to you like this?
Do you really think you can do whatever you want?
I just want to teach you a lesson丨Tell you, this is not your China, this is our United States
Charitritano nodded and said: "It's not difficult to invite teams, they only invited eight teams in the first session, and there are still many European giants, although they can't invite top teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona. , but other teams should be fine, just..."
"Just what?" Stephen Ross was a little dissatisfied.
Can you speak without hesitation?
Didn't you see that I was bothering me?
"It's just that they are in the group stage, which is different from our competition system, and they have already rented some popular football fields and training grounds in advance. We have to play against them in the same city. First, the time is rushed, and secondly, I am afraid that the preparation is not enough. "
"I don't care about this, you can do it now, you must get this thing done for me"
Stephen Ross is also on fire.
This doesn't work either, that doesn't work either, this battle hasn't been fought yet, you darn give up first
Could you be more unmotivated?
Charlie Tilitano and Matt Higgins looked at each other again, and they could see that the boss was getting angry.
The best option right now is to say nothing.
But this pair of eyes revealed concern.
It took people a full year to prepare for it, but now that he is facing the enemy, he hastily faced the enemy, can it work?
Forget it, don't care, anyway, it's not spending your own money, and you won't lose yourself if you lose
While the three Americans were conspiring in New York on how to deal with Yang Huan, Young Master Zhan Huan was sitting leisurely in the Ting Yu Xuan, sipping the fragrant tea brought from China, and looking at the Tester River in the distance. view.
Not to mention how happy I am
Not only him, but Peter Nien, who was sitting opposite Young Master Huan, was also in a great mood.
Just now, David Gill, the CEO of Manchester United, went south in person to meet with Sun Yue and Peter Nien.
On the one hand, Manchester United and Miracle Media signed an agreement to participate in the International Champions Cup.
For the Red Devils, Yang Huan is still very optimistic, so he did not make things difficult in this regard, and directly gave Manchester United the treatment of the first team, that is, the appearance fee of 3 million euros per game.
David Gill is also very knowledgeable and reciprocated, saying that Manchester United will fully support Southampton to stay in the Premier League.
The implication is that Manchester United don't care about the jersey.
Yang Huan is quite satisfied with this harvest.
It's not that he was afraid of Manchester United, but he felt that he was making money with peace.
Football is a special business.
One person can't support a team, and a team can't play a league.
Even if it is tyrannical such as Barcelona and Real Madrid, if one of the double super teams is missing, the other team will be hit hard.
Because football has always been a team sport.
The game is like this, the club is like this, the league is like this
Therefore, in the face of great interests, one has to be casual
Besides, in the matter of the International Champions Cup, who will take advantage and who will take advantage of it, I still don't know.
Peter Nien was also greatly relieved, and admired Master Huan even more.
Thinking back then when he jumped from Manchester United to Chelsea, and was regarded as a traitor by all the Red Devils fans, David Gill attacked him a lot and never saw him.
This time, to be able to make David Gill so sincere and go south from Manchester, Peter Nien feels that he has a lot of face, and his mood is naturally great.
The two were drinking tea on Ting Yuxuan and chatting about the team without a word.
Until, Yang Huan's cell phone rang.
Take it over and take a look, "Yeah, it's our little prince in the Middle East, what's the matter with this guy?"
Yang Huan said with a smile.
Peter Nien couldn't help but smile, "Maybe it's here to report good news."
"Just listen to it"
After saying that, Yang Huan answered the phone.
