Text Chapter 1146: Stan

After a lot of people came and greeted a lot of guests, Zhou Jiexi's assistant told him that it was almost time. People from the Food and Nutrition Bureau and officials from the Ministry of Agriculture are also ready. The mayor of the management town within the manor has also come here.

He looked back, and the two women over there still looked unhappy, probably they had just had a quarrel. There was also Kim Kardashian among the first group of people who came, this big-ass woman, who was chatting with another group of people at this time, ignoring Paris.

I heard from Nikki just now that the two women have fallen out, and they will no longer be best friends. And she obviously had a falling out with her sister later on. It was a bit too much for this woman to snatch her boyfriend face to face, and she didn't even look at how old she was, what a shame!

As for her own dating, that's obviously put aside for now, Zhou Jiexi is not the earth, and it is impossible for her to hang around him all the time, right, she has to live anyway. Isn't she also very romantic and happy, living her own life, Nikki also thinks it's normal.

But it's obviously inappropriate for my own sister to rob people. The two of us used to show affection in front of her, but when I look back and see my sister and her ex-boyfriend showing affection in front of me, how generous a person can bear it!

"Jessie, it looks like you have a lot to do! Young is beautiful!" Zhou Jiexi, who was about to go to the front, just heard a voice say by his ear.

Looking back, it turned out to be Stan Kroenke, who is also a shareholder of Arsenal. Recently, the relationship with this guy is not very good. The two people have obviously disagreed on the matter of Arsenal. Last time, fans mobilized Action, want him in Arsenal.

Of course, these are not big things. As a shareholder of the team, who really cares what the fans say. It's not that they pay, of course they don't have back pain while standing and talking. The most important thing is that the business models of the two people are definitely not compatible and will not be the same.

Zhou Jiexi advocates spending money to win championships, spending a lot of money to do big things. This can be seen in the Warriors he runs the NBA. It can even be seen from his recent purchase of a Major League Soccer team. The team only bought a name and some players. He got the news that he had already poached talent in Europe and other places. , intending to impact the current luxury teams of several major football leagues.

If he enters Arsenal, it will not be good news for him who is used to spending a small amount of money to do big things, or it is better to say that he can do big things without spending money. He also thought that it doesn't matter what the big things are. It is enough to make a profit and keep the team's stock price growing. The championship puzzle is not so easy to put together.

Don't look at him Zhou Jiexi is very good now, the nba Warriors has assembled a superstar team like F4, in fact, in the capital market, the valuation of the Warriors is even lower. Because they don't have to think about making money from the Warriors for the next few years. Not to mention not making money, whoever controls the Warriors in three years' time will at least lose more than 20 million U.S. dollars every year, and this price will increase year by year.

I really don't know if I can win the championship during this period. It's not that no one has seen a luxury team before, and few really won the championship. So relying on money to pile up championships is obviously not a very reliable thing for sports.

If Arsenal is really in this shape, then he might as well stop playing. If the market value does not increase, then the investment is wasted. If you have this money, you might as well play something else and earn more.

Zhou Jiexi is very sensitive to the old guy, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. He gave Kroenke a smile, and then said enthusiastically: "Kroenke, I haven't seen you for a while, you seem to be in good spirits!"

Kroenke's face is not suitable for smiling, but he smiled and said. "Although I don't like you very much, I have to say that your product is indeed a good thing."

Zhou Jiexi froze for a moment, but seeing the old boy's smile, he realized that what he just said was a joke. Or maybe not, there is always something interesting in it, and I am probably upset about the previous fan incident.

"Old man, let's leave business matters to business. Now we are at the reception time!"

"Okay. You are right about this!" Kroenke didn't really mean that, clinked his glass with him, and took a sip of champagne. Then he said seriously: "Jesse, Arsenal is not suitable for your business model. We have to calmly realize this. What do the fans know? You are still young, so don't be impulsive!"

"Old man, I don't want to talk about business matters at this time!" Zhou Jiexi looked at him a little displeased, but continued: "Ok, since you want to say something, let me say a few words first. Fans like a Why the team?"

Before he could answer, Zhou Jiexi went on to say to himself: "There are many reasons, so I won't go into details. Anyway, we don't care too much about it. But the reason why I like a team is very simple. To To be famous all over the world is to be famous. It doesn’t matter if the club is a champion or not, who cares!”

"Fans like championships, and bosses like profits." As he spoke, Jessie Zhou looked at Stan Kroenke: "Seriously, Stan, maybe we agree on this point. A team that can't make money Team, definitely not a successful team unless he gets a lot of championships."

"A team that can make money will undoubtedly be a successful club! But this is not enough, I spend money to play the team to make such a small amount of money?" Zhou Jiexi shook his head, "That is not enough, my money Every penny has to be spent to make me happy. It doesn’t matter if this team is not a championship team, but it has to have stars, one is not enough, it’s better to have several. And the stars should be more handsome, there is news value."

"Whenever I go to a football game, I can see the headlines on every page. Anyone who mentions football can think of our team. Think of our stars. Of course, the most important thing is to think of the owner of the team, which is me Jesse. Zhou, unique, beloved, and infinitely beautiful."

That is to say, there are still body movements while talking, with a pair of open hands and a relaxed look. "Old man, this is the difference between us. If your business strategy is not good, then obviously you will not win the championship. If you could, you would have won it long ago."

"The result is that we can only wait to be scolded by the fans. In order to earn such a small amount of money, I don't think it is worthwhile at all." Zhou Jiexi said: "So of course I can't be with you, this kind of scolding thing , I can't do it, but how to express my position, obviously that Russian guy's method is good. You are scolded, we are sought after!"

Stan Kroenke suppressed the discomfort in his heart, Zhou Jiexi was right, a businessman should do what is best for him. "Okay, I admit that some things you said are correct. From your standpoint, I can accept some situations."

"No, I don't care if you can accept it or not. Stan, you still don't understand a little bit, what is the difference between us!" Zhou Jiexi shook his head and looked at him with regret in his eyes: "I want it, I have to Come on, others don’t want to be perfect.”

"I've got nothing else in me, but sometimes I just spend money for fun. I know a little bit about you guys on the board, and to be honest, it really bothers me. I've been in touch with the Russian guy, and there's something about it. For sure, we're going to be on the board, you can't stop us."

"Take advantage of the fact that the team's income and expenditure are not bad, I suggest that you can actually exit this project with a considerable investment profit. If we are allowed to take over, I am at least in the same business philosophy as the Russians. !” Zhou Jiexi said half-truthfully, the Russian fat man had really talked about this matter a few times.

It was just at the reception of the board of directors of Facebook, the Russian guy came unexpectedly and they had a chat, and they wanted to talk more with the old man. It's a pity that he had something to do, and Zhou Jiexi himself had something to do, so he didn't communicate much.

Stan Kroenke's complexion was a little bad, he didn't believe all of Zhou Jiexi's words. What a businessman can do at this time is to analyze his gains and losses more calmly, instead of letting anger rush into his brain and affect his judgment. The consequences of the outburst of anger will make things uncontrollable, and it will also make it difficult for him to communicate with Zhou Jiexi in the future.

Straightening his glasses with his left hand, Stan Kroenke smiled with a calm expression. After decades of business career, Zhou Jiexi's little battle can't scare him.

"I admit that if I was thirty years younger, I might have the same thoughts as you. But the times are different now. One thing I have to say is that you are more accomplished than I was when I was young. But compared to the current Me, Jesse, you're still too young."

As he spoke, he took a sip of champagne: "All this can't scare me, Jesse, maybe you can make a better suggestion, don't forget, I'm still standing on the upper hand!"

Zhou Jiexi was a little depressed, he really was an old fox. The brutal ability of this trick to throw money really can't scare him back. In many years of business career, no one has been ruthless. If the old man is ruthless at this time, it is obvious that neither of them will benefit much, and the result is different from his original estimate.

"I know, you have more experience than me. But Stan, there are so many British teams, you can definitely find one, and you don't have to keep your eye on Arsenal!" Zhou Jiexi said.

"This sentence is exactly what I want to tell you, Jesse, there are so many teams, and the teams in London, the teams in the Metropolis, are obviously more suitable for young people like you. Things that attract attention , compared to Arsenal, they are not bad!"

Zhou Jiexi could only shrug his shoulders now: "Obviously, there is nothing to talk about!"

"Um!"
