Chapter 1440 Money Can Do Anything
In the Hilton Presidential Suite, Yang Dongxu was wearing a nightgown and rubbing his forehead. Opposite him sat the energetic Dai'er. On the table in front of the two of them were materials about many of the richest football teams in Serie A.
This is Dai Er's new goal. She is planning to buy a football team, and she is also planning to take advantage of the scandals in Serie A to buy when many clubs are experiencing severe depreciation.
Among the people she knows so far, only Yang Dongxu owns a giant La Liga team. At the same time, Yang Dongxu is also a successful example of directly acquiring a team from scratch, so no one knows what's going on here better than him. Dai'er will naturally not let this coolie go.
"Are you really planning to build a wealthy team, or are you just taking advantage of the current slump in Serie A to buy the bottom, and then wait until the Serie A football market improves before selling it." Yang Dongxu's hazy face in pajamas showed a little impatience. .
Anyone who is pulled out of bed while sleeping soundly will feel a little angry when they wake up.
"Both." Dai'er thought for a moment and said, pretending she didn't see Yang Dongxu getting angry because Yang Dongxu wouldn't hit her anyway.
"The former is not that easy. It doesn't mean that you are a wealthy team if you acquire a wealthy team. The declining wealthy teams are just wealthy teams in history, but they are not wealthy teams now.
In addition to history, a wealthy club needs to speak for itself with its current results, so if you want to build a wealthy team, not only do you have enough money, are you sure you can win those stars to form your own Galaxy battleship? "
"It's not a waste of money." Dai'er curled her lips.
have to!
Another investor who has money to do everything.
Yang Dongxu picked up the water in front of him and rinsed his mouth, and said: "It's a prerequisite to have money. There is nothing wrong with it. There is no legitimate star who plays football for free and for love.
You have to look at this matter based on the current situation of Serie A. There is a lot of football scandals in Serie A right now. Many stars want to go to La Liga or the Premier League, even the Bundesliga. Few big stars want to stay in Serie A, let alone Don't talk about signing people to Serie A from outside.
At this time, you can't buy these stars with money, unless you don't care about the luxury tax and pay a lot more than the stars are worth. Otherwise, the stars may not necessarily stay in La Liga for the sake of their future.
And those who stay for money are either those who are preparing to retire with a wave of pensions, or they are some thorns or cancers that no one wants in other teams. You are sure that such people can build a wealthy team for you. ? "
"So, according to you, after Serie A is over, there is no need to invest anymore?"
"I can't say it so absolutely, but when the scandal in Serie A is fermenting now, it is indeed possible to win the team at a low price, but whether to build the team into a giant or increase the value of the team and resell it is a test. It’s a matter of personal ability,” Yang Dongxu said.
"Are you implying that I'm not capable?" Dai'er blinked.
"At least you have the idea that everything will be alright with money. I don't think you can build a football giant. Don't think that you have a lot of money and there is no problem in raising a team.
Without a reliable team, or the management ability in this area, hundreds of millions thrown at the team are basically nothing more than scraps of paper.
Nowadays, the better stars are often worth more than 10 million euros, and some are worth as much as 30 to 40 million euros. How many such big stars can you buy if you spend hundreds of millions?
More importantly, can you get results if you buy it back? You've also seen Real Madrid's Galacticos. They introduced a large number of stars to attract media attention, but as a result they were forced to disband after playing two or three games in the Champions League.
Therefore, although stars are important for a team, how to match the stars into a strong team is even more important, because the latter is related to your team's performance. "
"How about you come and help me?" Dai'er said.
Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes directly, "I don't have that time. Now I am thinking about whether I will change hands of the NBA team after a while."
"What, the American media has taken care of it?" Dai'er had a surprised look on her face. She hadn't heard of any big news in the American media recently.
A ray of light flashed in Yang Dongxu's eyes, and then his eyes returned to calmness.
It is not a secret that he used the excuse of promoting the team to win some media newspapers and even bought TV stations.
Many people think that he really bought these newspapers and TV stations for the media promotion needs of his team and to prepare for the She ethnic minority entertainment industry.
In fact, a smart person like Dai'er can tell at a glance that Yang Dongxu's plan to acquire newspapers and TV stations is not that simple. He clearly wants a piece of the media pie.
"The television station and the media are independent of the team, and me selling the team will have no impact on them. Another point is that the 76ers are now creating a dynasty.
Selling a dynasty at its peak is worth more than selling a dynasty in decline. "
"But the profitability of a dynasty is also very high? Not to mention other things, the advertising fees of those stars are a large amount of money every year. Your compatriot Dayao's advertising value in the Asian market is now comparable to that of those Hollywood superstars. high."
"Yao Yao can't play basketball for the rest of his life, right? Besides, I said that I really don't have time to help you manage the team, and I didn't say that I must sell the team in my hand." Yang Dongxu shrugged.
"Then what do you think about me buying an NBA team?"
"For the same reason, a wealthy club that spends money may not necessarily win a championship. No matter how many stars a wealthy team has without a championship, it is just to attract attention. If there is no other way to monetize this attention, it will still lose money.
And now the NBA is different from Serie A. The NBA has successfully built its business atmosphere and popularity over the years. Many people want to buy a team and give it a try, but there is no such team that allows you to pick up bargains. "
"Isn't it just a matter of more money and less money?" Dai'er waved her hand nonchalantly.
have to!
Come around again, everything will go well with money!
"Forget it, we'll talk about this later." Dai'er said.
This made Yang Dongxu look at her with a frown on his face, thinking that this girl just had such an idea in her head, and then pulled him out of the bed early in the morning when he was still awake.
"Well, I'm not looking for you just to buy the team. I really have something to do here." Dai'er explained forcefully and put away the collected information about the Serie A teams on the table.
Looking at Yang Dongxu with a smile on his face, "Well, I've been paying close attention to the technology industry recently. I heard that the blog you traded to Samsung made them a lot of money. Are there any good projects for me to invest in?"
Blogs can be said to be a flash in the pan in the Chinese market. Although this flash in the pan lasted a little longer, Sina Weibo was still one of the focus of media news until later generations.
But when it comes to making money, Weibo is really playing a bad hand. Especially the fake popularity of a large number of zombie fans has made its reputation plummet.
But these are things that will happen in the future. Nowadays, Weibo has suddenly emerged, and it has the intention of unifying the news sections of portal websites.
Especially foreign blogs, the market value has been rising in recent years, making Samsung a lot of money. Of course, Yang Dongxu made more money in that transaction, so he is not jealous at all about Samsung making money through blogs.
But he is not jealous, others are drooling looking at the meat, especially people like Dai'er who have a lot of cash in their hands and are looking for projects.
"Now most of China's portal websites have noticed the importance of blogging and are preparing to develop and expand their own Weibo business. You can do your own research and see which one you want to invest in." Yang Dongxu said.
Today's Weibo is just like Tieba in the past. As soon as something seems promising, everyone will flock to it. For now, this kind of competition makes everyone money.
Weibo was also very popular and even spawned several separately listed sections, so Daier could invest with her eyes closed, and even if she retreated in the middle of the favorable period, the harvest would still be quite rich.
"Isn't your company planning to do this? I remember that your Xuri Technology has Tieba business, right? It seems very suitable for promoting Weibo."
"Don't plan to do this?" Yang Dongxu shook his head.
"Why?" Dai'er had a surprised look on her face. It was the first time she met a fool who had money but didn't make any money.
Is Yang Dongxu really a fool who has money but doesn’t make money?
Of course not. He doesn't do Weibo because he knows the ultimate limit of this thing. It doesn't matter whether he does it or not. In addition, he doesn't have the energy to open a new section for Xuri Technology.
What’s more important is that after smartphones become popular, short video platforms will be the real future. Starting to develop short video platforms such as Kuaishou and Douyin in advance is more profitable than starting Weibo.
So it was easy for him to make a choice, skipping the intermediate link of Weibo and going straight to the short video platform.
"I don't have time to do this, but if I have the opportunity, I will also provide financing for companies that develop Weibo." I really don't have time to do it myself, and it's not a lot of trouble.
But if he just invests money and doesn't care about anything, Yang Dongxu doesn't mind investing in Weibo's dividends.
"Take me with you whichever one you plan to raise." Dai'er had a flattering smile on her face.
"You can ask Chen Xin, she is responsible for this matter. And even if the investment is made by then, it will not be invested as Rising Sun Technology.
For some reason, the portals in China now have a bitter hatred for Xuri Technology, which does not operate as a portal. Plus the Baidu satellite.
Those Internet companies hope to raise funds from abroad, then rest and reorganize their operations and make big profits by listing in the United States. Therefore, they will look for investment from abroad, especially capital led by the United States to prepare for listing. "
"What are you going to do?"
"It's what Chen Xin plans to do. She is more familiar with investment operations in this area than I am." Yang Dongxu shrugged, and then continued: "How is that Khodorov? It's been several days."
"We've already won it. That guy is lobbying Fiat's senior executives with the benefits.
I also disclosed my identity as a shareholder of Maserati and announced that I was conducting such an acquisition as the princess of the Spencer family.
The media has been contacting me in the past few days and wants to do an exclusive interview. I'm now waiting for news from Khodorov, who has taken care of Fiat's top management.
I can jointly hold a press conference with them to heat up the topic and give Ferrari a boost. "
Yang Dongxu does not want the acquisition to cause too much turmoil, but he does not object to positive reports on the acquisition.
In particular, the more publicity that is conducive to the development of Ferrari, the better. So he has no objection to Dai'er's plan to hold a Shengda press conference.
"I will transfer Matthew to help you, with Carlo and my professional team for acquiring foreign companies. You just need to show up in front of the media and meet with the senior executives of Fiat."
"What! Are you afraid that I will seize power?" Dai'er looked at him with a smile.
"You only have a small share. If you can seize power successfully, I will give up with both hands. Or if you have the ability to take over Ferrari, I can give it to you." Yang Dongxu said indifferently.
"You said that because you know I can't afford it, right? Besides, what's the point of me buying a Ferrari? I don't make cars." Dai'er snorted.
Then she turned her head to look into the bedroom.
"Your lover left, and you were alone yesterday?"
Yang Dongxu was too lazy to pay attention to her and walked to the bathroom in person. He had just rinsed his mouth after getting up for so long, but he hadn't washed yet.
