It's past nine o'clock in the evening in London.

Sharon was at its most lively, and Bill Gates had been a little absent-minded.

Although he basically did not have any contact with Li Mu in the second half of the salon, his attention would inevitably be focused on Li Mu.

In the salon of this entrepreneur gathering, Li Mu has become the person who has attracted the most attention, the Internet industry itself is a sunrise industry, and Li Mu occupies a lot of resources in this sunrise industry, so almost every businessman present is trying to find some inspiration from the dialogue with Li Mu.

Watching others make easy money is already a matter of concern for these capitalists, and they will never hesitate if they have the opportunity to get involved.

After dealing with the affairs of the Macmillan family, Davidson came to the scene of the salon, he held a glass of champagne, sat next to Li Mu, apologized to Li Mu for the affairs of the Macmillan family, and promised Li Mu that in the future, in the days when Li Mu was still in the UK, he would not let any member of the Macmillan family appear in front of Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded, and suddenly asked him: "Davidson, have you been involved in the sports industry?"

"We have a couple of golf courses in the UK and then run some golf-related sports and the rest are gone," Davidson said. ”

Li Mu asked him: "The influence of the Premier League is so great, why haven't you done it?"

Dai Vinson said with a smile: "The football industry, at present, there are two relatively large areas in the UK, one is TV broadcasting, and the other is football clubs...... Although the Premier League is very popular, the income from investing in clubs at this stage is not high, the capital behind British clubs is basically divided into two categories, one is to live by the club for a long time, and the other is foreign capital that does not rely on the club to make money at all, such as Abu, who just bought Chelsea, when investing in Chelsea, he has been prepared for the next ten years not to make a profit, and even after fifteen years, he may not be able to pay for his own profits and losses。 ”

Li Mu asked him: "What if I also want to buy a Premier League club?"

Davidson was stunned, and then asked, "Mr. Li really wants to buy a club?"

Li Mu nodded: "Buy one to play, like Abu." ”

Davidson smiled: "Actually, the financial situation of the major clubs at this stage is not very optimistic, so if the bid is right, most clubs will be willing to sell, but, to be honest, I advise you not to rush into this pit, a football club is a bottomless pit of funds." ”

Li Mu smiled and said, "If Abu can afford to play, I believe he should be able to play too." ”

Engaging in a football club is an idea that Li Mu suddenly came up with tonight.

George Macmillan's stupid dog made a lot of nonsense in front of him, but there was one sentence that touched Li Mu's heart.

The difference in the strength of Chinese football does make FIFA and the clubs of the five major leagues hate iron and steel.

FIFA also hopes that China, the most populous country, can regularly enter the World Cup, last year's South Korea-Japan World Cup China's historic appearance, let people see the huge market of football in China, however, FIFA will not think that in the next ten years, China has never been able to return to the World Cup finals.

It's the same with clubs in the big five leagues.

The five major league clubs all hope to introduce Chinese players, which is mainly to open up the Chinese market, Yao Ming, who just joined the NBA last year, has begun to open up a larger market space for the Rockets and even the entire NBA in China, and everyone in the football field is also looking forward to such a day.

However, the embarrassing thing is that the overall level of Chinese players is really weak, and there are very few players who can be selected by the five major leagues, and most of them are difficult to have a good performance after they reach the five major leagues.

George Macmillan said that Manchester United has decided to introduce a player surnamed Dong from Huaxia, that should be Dong Fangzhuo, he should be the only Chinese player in the history of Chinese football who has joined Manchester United, but his experience at Manchester United is not so happy and lucky, but a rapid decline process, which not only has his personal problems, but also the problems of the Premier League environment, and the problem of how much the club attaches importance to him.

Some capable and aspiring Chinese players have to face many problems after joining the clubs of the five major leagues, including language problems, living habits, not keeping up with the pace of training, player rejection and lack of trust in the club.

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old Chinese young man, even if he has been in school, has only just graduated from high school, and his English level is definitely not up to the point where he can communicate in daily life and daily life overseas, not to mention that the eighteen or nineteen-year-old football player himself has to sacrifice most of his study time to practice, if such a person comes to the Premier League, the language barrier alone will make him isolated, and it is much more difficult than other players to really adapt and grow in the club.

If there is a club in the five major leagues operated by Huaxia Capital, then regardless of whether the club can make money or what, it may first become a bridgehead for Chinese football players to receive higher-level training overseas.

If Li Mu buys Chelsea, he will first set aside some resources from the club's youth camp, trial camp and even the second and first teams for Chinese football players, and secondly, he will set up a professional translation team at Chelsea to ensure that after Chinese players come here, they will not delay their own development due to language problems in training and life.

In this way, in the clubs they invest in, there will be no situation where Chinese athletes can only sit on the cold bench when they sign contracts with the five major leagues, or are directly assigned to other countries to play in small leagues.

In Li Mu's eyes, the atmosphere and environment of the domestic league are distorted, and they are also not healthy enough, and if they really want to cultivate excellent football talents, it is basically hopeless to rely solely on the domestic league, otherwise it will not be possible until more than ten years later, when Huaxia has not been able to enter the World Cup again.

Therefore, if you can really build an overseas stage for talented Chinese football players now, you may be able to send a few first-class players to Chinese football in the future.

Makino Technology started in China after all, and has received great favor from the Chinese people, and it is also my bounden duty to give more returns to the domestic people in many fields.

Davidson has understood Li Mu's intentions at this moment, he now has so many profitable business lines, there is no need to make money by buying football clubs, on the contrary, the acquisition of football clubs may be more of a pastime for Li Mu, and more importantly, owning a top football club can bring many better opportunities to Chinese football players.

So, Davidson said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, I'll help you understand and find out these days, and if there is a suitable club, I'll ask you to sort out as much detailed information as possible and send it to you." ”

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "That's really thankful." ”

……

10 p.m. London time.

Microsoft has officially started its own show.

The promotion of the indos-Live software package began to be published on many Internet platforms in Europe and the United States.

The officially released indos-Live, including MSN, online game platform, MSN official website and MSN blog, almost completely coincides with the YY ecosystem of Makino Technology.

However, Microsoft's advertising slogan is still full of gimmicks, and their advertising slogan for indos-Live is: Make-your-Internet-life-better, give you a better Internet life.

In this advertisement, Microsoft not only boasted about its product ecology, but even focused on boasting about MSN's blog, saying that it has redefined blog, and this blog will bring a subversive experience to netizens around the world.

But just as this ad first started, Makino Technology used YY to push a news message to users around the world, which was headlined: "The new platform Titter is about to be released, here is the world you want." ”

At this stage, no one's ability to place on the Internet is comparable to YY.

More than ninety percent of online users have opened and browsed this news, and they are shocked that there is an atlas in this news, which contains a large number of photos of top singers and celebrities, and these singers are holding a handwritten white paper on the photo, on which a sentence is prominently written: I am waiting for you at Titter!

No other product has ever been able to gather such a large number of top celebrities to endorse or promote it, and more importantly, these celebrities will not only promote the Titter, they will also be the first celebrity users to stay in the Titter, which makes users look forward to the new product that will be launched in an hour.

On the other hand, most users have chosen to ignore indos-Live, which has just been widely promoted, for a very simple reason: in the entire indos-Live, there are no highlights that attract them, and every product and experience in this ecosystem can be obtained by users in YY, and their viscosity and loyalty to YY are far higher than Microsoft's own estimates.

In addition, every product and every update of Makino Technology has never disappointed users, so users are naturally full of expectations for Titter, at this time, almost no one pays attention to Microsoft indos-Live, let alone Microsoft's so-called redefined Blog.

Microsoft's marketing team continues to follow up the return results of each delivery, and sadly found that the open rate of each delivery is less than 10%, and the jump rate after opening, that is, the users who jump to Microsoft's official download link, are less than 5% of the users who open them, and among these 5%, only 20% of the people who can actually download.

This also means that Microsoft spent $100,000 to place indos-Live ads on a certain platform, and 1 million impressions only got 100,000 valid opens, and after these 100,000 people opened it, only 5,000 people will jump to Microsoft's official download link, and in the end, only 1,000 users downloaded this set of products out of 5,000 people.

This set of data is simply the extreme.

Moreover, as time passes by minute and second, the closer you get to the time when Titter goes live, the more miserable Microsoft's delivery conversion rate becomes.

At half past ten, at the salon scene, when Bill Gates's assistant whispered a few words in his ear, his expression immediately became extremely ugly, and without saying a word, he got up and left the salon scene.

Li Mu looked at the back of Bill Gates walking away quickly, and from his back, he could see his panic at the moment.

It seems that MSN is making a comeback this time, and it is about to be declared a failure before it even starts!
