Chapter 448: Wanlihui
Before the start of the Serie A league, AC Milan and Manchester City came to China and played two friendly matches with Beijing Guoan and Yangcheng Evergrande.
Tianhe Sports Center and Gongti came with a large number of fans for a while.
Especially on the side of AC Milan, because of the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo, they have enjoyed the warm welcome of the people of both places.
The results of the game are secondary, this kind of friendly match, under normal circumstances, everyone plays more conservatively.
Because the new season is coming soon, I can't afford to take an injury for this kind of friendly match without any honor.
Of course, there are some extreme cases, kicking and kicking and then pushing, and then fighting.
But fortunately, the situation that Zhang Yida was worried about did not happen.
AC Milan, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, defeated the two teams by a "narrow" margin, and Ronaldo also ran to the stands to greet the fans, and the scene was cheering.
Some people looked at the short video trembling on it, which attracted many netizens to like it.
After the game, Ronaldo and his teammates went to some scenic spots in Beijing and Yangcheng, and walked around the snack streets, and took a lot of short videos of tasting food.
For a while, there were more than 20 foreigners who said "hello" but had a very strange tone.
For AC Milan's development of the Chinese market, Zhang Yida has always attached great importance to it.
If you want to make money, you have to at least let everyone have some impression of you foreigners, right?
Once the players return to Italy, the club's new media team will continue to shoot short videos for them and post them on multiple social media platforms, including Douyin in China.
After a trip to China, the Chinese fans of AC Milan who have been silent for more than ten years have been "resurrected" again.
AC Milan's official Douyin has gained millions of fans within a few days, and has also sold a lot of jerseys, sneakers, and tickets through the Douyin store.
In addition, AC Milan has received three commercial sponsorships amounting to tens of millions of euros.
Manchester City also had some gains, and their respective goals were basically achieved.
No. 19, in the first round of the 18-19 season of Serie A, AC Milan faced Sampdoria.
This is a team that is in the middle and bottom of the twenty teams in Serie A, and it is not very strong.
Even so, it was not easy for AC Milan to win.
The 1-1 draw lasted until the 75th minute, when Cristiano Ronaldo seized an opportunity to score the winning goal to beat Sampdoria 2-1 to earn three league points.
Zhang Yida was visiting AC Milan's home stadium for the first time, and he did not stand up and cheer like the fans, celebrating the club's victory.
He doesn't particularly know the ball, but he also sees some problems.
The main reason why AC Milan is so difficult to play is that the coordination is not yet proficient and the tactics have not yet taken shape.
He didn't talk to Van Gaal, after all, there is no need to be suspicious, there is no doubt about the use of people, and the manager must be given time.
"Second brother-in-law, why are you still unhappy when you win?"
After obtaining the consent of the little uncle and aunt, Zhang Yida and Zhao Erya brought Wang Yiduo to the scene and realized her little wish.
"Am I upset?" Zhang Yida asked with a smile.
"Yes, for more than 90 minutes, I don't see you laughing a few times, except for AC Milan's goal, the rest of the time you are frowning. ”
"Really?"
Zhang Yida smiled, guessing that he might have inadvertently revealed his true emotions.
"Are you still coming to watch the game later?" asked Zhao Erya.
"It's not an important game, it's basically not coming, it's managed by professional managers. ”
Zhang Yida replied with a smile, there are so many industries, where is there time to stare at this stall every day.
However, he did not have unreserved trust in foreign professional managers.
The Chinese professional managers selected for the important positions of CFO and financial audit of the club are all transferred from Ruixiang.
......
Founded in 2004, WorldFirst is a well-established payment institution in the UK, with more than 80,000 active customers and an annual transaction volume of more than £10 billion.
Through UBS, Zhang Yida met with Jonathan Quinn and Nick Robinson, the two founders of Wanlihui, in London.
Both of them were in their fifties, their hair was meticulously groomed, they were dressed in decent suits, and they couldn't find anything wrong with etiquette.
Zhang Yida shook hands with the two founders, and after sitting down, he went straight to the point and said: "Two gentlemen, I am very aware of the upper limit of Wanlihui, an international cross-border remittance platform.
It's easy to make some achievements, but it's hard and hard to make it big!
Choosing to sell the company at this time will not lose the two of them at all, not only will they be free of wealth, but they will also have more time and energy to pursue some things they like. ”
Quinn was very surprised by Zhang Yida's directness, aren't the Chinese very reserved?
Although there was a hint of Zhang Yida's words regarding Wanlihui as a small company, he was not angry at all.
Compared with Ruixiang, Wanlihui is really just a small company.
"I admit that Wanlihui is indeed only a small and inconspicuous company in front of Ruixiang. ”
Quinn spread his hands, "But Wanlihui is a very critical springboard for Ruixiang to enter the European market." ”
Zhang Yida smiled, listening to this tone, he was going to bargain with himself.
"I heard that your company's main customers are foreign workers who work abroad and need to send money home, and some of your customers are small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in cross-border business.
These businesses are not as important to Ruixiang as Mr. Quinn imagined. ”
Quinn smiled and waved his hand, "I understand that Ruixiang's core financial technology business is mobile payment, which is a large number of C-end users.
But if we were PayPal, the offer would not be as low as £700 million. ”
Zhang Yida smiled and shook his head, "700 million pounds, this offer, with all due respect, is really too high."
Wanlihui has more than 80,000 active users, and the value of a single user is as high as 10,000 US dollars. ”
Robinson had been sitting next to him expressionlessly, and at this time he couldn't help but interject, "Mr. Zhang, you are secretly changing the concept, how can you use the number of users to make a valuation?"
You have to look at our revenue, net profit, and layout in the B-end market.
Our main business includes international remittance, foreign exchange options trading, international e-commerce platform collection and foreign exchange settlement.
It can support 71 online sales platforms around the world, such as Amazon North America and Europe, eBay, and Toei Rakuten, and also supports European VAT payment.
In addition, since 2010, we have entered the Chinese market, providing international payment services in US dollars, euros, British pounds, Japanese yen, and Canadian dollars for Chinese cross-border e-commerce sellers.
As far as I know, Ruixiang's fist product, that is, the elder brother Doushi, has opened two businesses in China: live broadcast e-commerce and short video e-commerce.
If you want to wade into e-commerce in the future, Wanlihui can provide a very big help.
We have mature e-commerce sellers on our platform, as well as mature international cross-border remittance business, and maybe we can try cross-border e-commerce business. ”
