Kukes's heart jumped, he thought about it for a while, he figured out one thing, before Rapo Elkan and his boss may have been talking about investing in a football club, he was very annoyed with Rapo Elkan, how could he be uneasy day by day.

"BOSS, if you're just trying to have fun, it's good to buy a football club, but if you're trying to make money, you need to think about it more. A lot of football clubs are operating at a loss, of course, there are not no clubs that make money, but there are too few. Cooks said.

Wu Qian was a little puzzled, the tone of Cooks and Rapo Elkann is very inconsistent, according to Rapo Elkan, the football club is simply a cash cow, how can it be said that Kukes's mouth has changed again, and it has become the same as he once thought......

Wu Qian told some of Rapo Elkan's words to Coux, and when Rosalind was not around, this wilted German man became his brainchild.

Cooks scoffed and said, "Boss, don't listen to Rapo Elkan's nonsense! There are countless football clubs in Europe, but if you say that the only ones that are really widely known are the football clubs that play in the five major leagues." ”

"La Liga, The Premier League, SerieA, Bundesliga and Ligue1. ”

"There are almost 100 teams in the five major leagues, and on paper, none of these football clubs are profitable, but there are some small clubs that play their own and can make a little money every year, but they can't make any results. ”

Cooks told Wu Qian a lot, born in Germany, who loves football, knows this very well, and compared to David, Cooks is more sensible.

From Cooks' words, Wu Qian learned a lot of information, and also roughly understood the operation model of the football club, in a word, the income is linked to the team's performance, like Manchester United, there are too few teams that attract money, it is simply rare.

After all, it was a few years ago when Manchester United was in full swing, and it gained too many fans, Sir Alex Ferguson laid a solid foundation for Manchester United, but it will definitely not work if it goes on like this.

Fans can accept a club going from peak to bottom, but they can't stay in the trough all the time.

"In the beginning, the main source of income for football clubs was match tickets, and then slowly, TV broadcast fees got higher and higher, and now the most profitable clubs, the main source of income is advertising revenue, of course, there are some other sources of income, such as player deals, sponsorships and so on. ”

In the dark night, the Rolls-Royce Phantom walked towards Partridge Manor, and Wu Qian listened to Cooks' words and said, "Cooks, I have an idea to buy Manchester United, what do you think of its future commercial value?"

"BOSS, the commercial value of Manchester United is unquestionable, I vaguely remember that the Glazer family's first two offers for the sale of the club were too outrageous, so they were not sold successfully, but I estimate that it will cost almost 2.5 billion pounds, Manchester United FC was in a very good financial position last year. ”

"Ed Woodward's business talent is so great that he has made the club a profit of more than £600 million, but the share price has fallen so much. It's hard to say how long Manchester United's ability to attract money will last, and if you're interested, I'd suggest you find a business research firm to investigate before making a decision. ”

The larger the investment amount of the business, the slower the return on investment, an investment of 250,000, maybe a year to achieve a return on the principal plus profits, but if 25 million, the payback cycle will be much longer, let alone invest 2.5 billion pounds to buy a club.

On the bright side, according to Couxs's estimate of 2.5 billion pounds to buy the club, he will earn 600 million pounds a year on the books, and he will be able to return to his capital in the early 4 years, this rate is simply outrageous, the arithmetic is so, but in reality there is a lot of uncertainty, this is only a theoretical algorithm, almost impossible to achieve.

"Let's find someone to investigate it properly, and if it's feasible, talk to Avram about it......" With that, Wu Qian leaned his neck and drank half a glass of red wine.

Wu Qian suddenly had the idea of developing his career, he felt that it was not a matter to blindly spend money to enjoy, and he needed to have a few hard-core industries for him to produce a steady stream of output, and to turn a large amount of money into an industry!

"BOSS, if you are just going to invest in football, I suggest that you can buy a small team, and then mainly build a youth academy, tap potential players around the world, and then make money by transferring players, so that the investment is relatively small and the risk is small. Cooks suggested.

Cooks said that this situation is very common, someone specializes in this kind of business, scouting and good luck, the club makes a lot of money, even if the luck is bad, it will not lose any money, the player will always have the team needs, the first division does not want the second division, otherwise it can be sold to other continents as foreign aid.

Almost all clubs have academy camps, and there are a lot of superstars who come out of the academy, but most of the academy is directly for their own clubs, and the business that Cooks said is to use the academy as a football player factory, specializing in the production of athletes, but the quality of the "goods" depends on luck, and the price difference is huge.

The highly developed football sport in Europe has formed a very complete chain of interests, in every link of the chain there are people making profits, and the whole complete business chain feeds countless people.

Wu Qian pinched his temples, and after being highly excited, he brought mental weakness, he said: "There is no hurry in this matter, listen to what Rapo Elkan means, Avram has not sold Manchester United for more than a year, and it seems that there is no sincerity, wait for the investigation to be clear." ”

Wu Qian's previous project, the gym is a relatively stable investment, and these days have indeed been good, but the variety show team and video website are purely burning money at this stage, especially the variety show team, not a single advertisement, not a single sponsor.

As for the rest of the public welfare sector, it is the department that establishes the image and culture of its own enterprise, which does not directly participate in profits, but has a lot of positive effects, as for the supermarket that is going to be given to his mother, there is no problem in making profits, but the money earned every month is really not much.

The construction of the circuit has not yet begun, and even if the construction is completed, the payback period is very long, unless you can get the qualification to host F1 races, otherwise you will want to pay back at least 10 years after just playing and fighting small races by yourself.

"The Root of All EvilWhen it comes to the problem of the seven deadly sins, among them is greed, I don't think that developing a career and making money is greed, but I think it is a kind of fulfillment, a kind of fun, a kind of ...... Guarantee. Wu Qian whispered in his heart.
