Chapter 1201 Virtual Fans (Part 2)
In addition to the successful case of Guo Tailai, there is currently another example in the Premier League, which is the purchase of Chelsea's Abramovich.
Needless to say, Abramovich also did not lose money. With Abramovich spending the same amount of money, the Chelsea team is currently ranked third this season, only one point away from the second-placed Arsenal, and the results are outstanding. There is no doubt that the valuation of the club has risen.
More importantly, among the fans of Chelsea, there are many British upper-class nobles, and Abramovich has also successfully entered the circle of British upper-class rich people.
Even if you don't consider making money, but only consider establishing a good relationship with the upper circles in the West, it seems that investing in a Premier League team seems to be a very suitable thing! Under such circumstances, the Royal Investment Group began to be tempted. Prince Said is in charge of the Royal Investment Group. This time, he came here to ask Guo Tailai for nursing care on the one hand, and on the other hand to learn some football investing from Guo Tailai. Experience, and ask his opinion on the matter.
"My opinion?" Guo Tailai was a little stunned: "Xie He, you know, I don't really know how to invest. I just like football and want to buy a football team for fun. Of course, my investment consultant also gave She gave me a good suggestion, and she believes that in the next few years, the sports industry is also worth investing in. But it must be sufficiently forward-looking.”
"For example, Germany and France." Guo Tailai did not hide his friend Prince Sheikh: "Their personal income tax is too high, and almost half of the players' income is used to pay taxes, so they are less attractive to superstars. Italy's The tax is not low, and it is relatively clique and xenophobic. After comprehensive consideration, England and Spain are the first choice for investing in football teams.”
Prince Sheikh and Prince Said listened to Guo Tailai's analysis and nodded frequently. Guo Tailai did not lie to them, which is the same as the analysis result of their investment experts.
"Of course, if possible, it is best to acquire a giant." Guo Tailai continued: "Instead of spending money on promotion for an unknown small team, Abramovich's acquisition of Chelsea is also a clever move, but Chelsea was not a giant before. Too soon, I will be scolded by many people, there is no way. I want to stay in London, so I only consider London teams. Even if the environment of Tottenham Club is a bit bad, it has the most fans. Of course, Tottenham’s shareholding structure Simplicity is also the focus of my consideration, I don't want an acquisition that takes a long time to reach, but you can consider more."
"So, G, what do you think of Manchester United?" Prince Said asked Guo Tailai seriously.
"If I don't only consider teams in the London area." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "Then my first acquisition target would be Manchester United."
Dubai Royal Investment Group is interested in Manchester United, which is a good thing! It's better than being bought by that American, at least their financial strength is much stronger than that guy. Interestingly, if the Royal Dubai Investment Group acquires Manchester United, and then the Abu Dhabi consortium acquires Manchester City, then the future Manchester United and Manchester City derby should also be called the UAE Derby?
This feels very novel. It is the first time for Guo Tailai to lead the investment direction, and it is very fulfilling for others to follow him to invest.
Of course, this is just Guo Tailai's small suggestion. Whether Said and the others will adopt it is still unknown, but it can be heard from the speech that they are very interested in the veteran team Manchester United. That is to say, Real Madrid and Barcelona will not sell, otherwise they will probably bid immediately.
After the New Year's holiday, after going to work, Guo Tailai went straight to the engine workshop to check the work to boost morale. The new model needs to cooperate with Ferrari, and the engine has to be developed in advance. In the past few years, this small engine studio has only a few dozen people, but it often pops up a batch of engine technologies that make the whole world dumbfounded.
After going to the studio, Guo Tailai and Chu Fei went straight to Italy. It was so easy for the crew to wrap up. Chu Fei didn't have any work arrangements until the Spring Festival, so she planned to relax for a few days, take a rest, spend time with her beloved fat man, and then go home in a few days to spend time with her parents.
In Milan, after Guo Tailai took care of Lao Bei and Moratti respectively, he ushered in the romantic world of two people with Chu Fei.
"It's all your fault!" At the dinner table, Chu Fei complained to Guo Tailai with an unhappy face: "It's all your fault, if you didn't come to Milan, how could you be caught by Miss Versace?"
As soon as she arrived in Milan, she had just sent off Lao Bei when Chu Fei's phone rang, and Ms. Versace chased after her. It is estimated that some of the reporters saw Guo Tailai and Chu Fei when they were following Lao Bei. Although they didn't take any photos, they couldn't hide it from people's eyes, so the news leaked out.
New York Fashion Week in September last year, just in time for 9/11, was not very successful. Ms. Versace was very annoyed when she learned that Chu Fei had also come to Milan, so she immediately invited Chu Fei to participate in this year's Milan Spring Fashion Week. Not only Miss Versace, Lafayette also called and asked her to participate in Chanel's catwalk. I can't push it away, I can only agree.
In February, it happened to be during the Spring Festival in China, so I had to work. This made Chu Fei feel very bad. Seeing that Guo Tailai was still giggling, she couldn't help venting to him. In fact, Chu Fei also knew that they would definitely contact her if they didn't come to Milan, but wasn't this just playing around with the fat man and acting coquettishly?
"Okay! Okay! It's my fault!" Guo Tailai could only surrender: "How about letting Uncle Chu, Aunt Deng, and the others come to Europe to celebrate the New Year together? Wouldn't this be a reunion?"
"Hmm! I'll try!" Chu Fei thought about it, and it seemed to be okay. In this way, work and reunion can be taken into account.
"In this way, it is definitely not appropriate to celebrate the New Year in a hotel." Guo Tailai continued: "You will definitely come to Milan often in the future. We will also buy a house here and live at home when the time comes, okay?"
"Okay!" Chu Fei happily agreed, her complexion improved a lot.
"After we're ready, I'll invite them!" Guo Tailai pondered for a while, and then said: "Even the two older brothers, one family, together, okay?"
Guo Tailai's invitation was different from Chu Fei asking them to come over. Chu Fei suddenly felt sweet in his heart, but his pretty face was still full of arrogance: "Look at your performance!"
"Yes yes yes!" Guo Tailai said with a dog-legged smile, "Of course it must satisfy my Feifei!"
"Hmph!" Chu Fei snorted with her pretty face up, and suddenly looked at Guo Tailai and asked dissatisfiedly: "Why are your shrimp and crabs so easy to peel? You just peeled them lightly and they separated easily." , Is it so difficult to peel off?"
Guo Tailai looked down and couldn't help laughing. He couldn't tell Chu Fei that his nano-robot could cut these easily, could he?
"Actually, I peeled this specially for you." Guo Tailai smiled and handed over the plate of shrimps and crabs that had been separated from the shell and meat: "Come, eat while it's hot. With me here, don't be afraid of getting fat."
"It's more or less the same!" Chu Fei was already happy in her heart, and her face was also happy, and she took the plate beautifully.
