The Chinese football field may have entered the era of capital since 2010, and all kinds of predators have invested and created prosperity one after another. Zhou Shi originally had three plans, to acquire the Modu East Asia team, Pengcheng Football Club or to acquire the Chinese Football Club and relocate to Yanjing, and he didn't know how to choose the football team in Hunan Province in the end, which was too unreasonable. It is not a first-tier city, and it is difficult to achieve a wealthy family. Most of the football clubs in second- and third-tier cities can only become the background board of the Chinese Super League. Xingsha has a population of only a few million, which city in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen has a population of less than 20 million?

"We have chosen a location to establish a football club in Huaxia?" Zhou Shi asked Soriano, although Fengyun Sports had a person in charge in Huaxia, Zhou Shi really didn't know him.

"No, it's not settled yet!" Soriano

"But why did some people say that we settled in Xingsha, Hunan Province?" Zhou Shi

"They have contacts with the city government personnel, but we didn't agree, and we are only ready to buy Xingsha Jinde Club, but the first choice for the club's location is still a first-tier city in China, but because of the football stadium and the local government policy, there has been some hesitation. "Soriano

Zhou Shi is also very hesitant, his main Internet assets are in Yanjing, Guoke Nuts are in Pengcheng, and the registration place of Sixiang Fund has been moved to Modu, which is his financial base, otherwise the Modu government will not give so much convenience, even SAIC can be a shareholder, and Lao Fengxiang can be acquired. Yangcheng is the center of e-commerce and nut glory mobile phones. Except for Yangcheng, whose status in his heart is slightly lower, the other three cities are all good. Pengcheng and Modu both approved a piece of land for him to build their headquarters, and he didn't encounter much trouble in the local development, so it can be said that he was treated well.

"I have another piece of news here, the Premier League team has always owned a football club in Rongcheng, Sheffield United, and they are facing financial problems and want to transfer. Asked if we were interested, but the same question was a request to stay in the local ...... "Soriano."

"Rongcheng, I want to think about it...... "Rongcheng, Chang'an, and Lin'an are new first-tier cities in China, and they will occupy an important position in his future business layout. And the ball markets in these places have always been good, the fan atmosphere is also very good, and more importantly, there is no need to be sandwiched between the three cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, although they may not care.

"Rongcheng can consider it, if the conditions are right, it will be. Zhou Shi said decisively

"And what about the name of the team, Rongcheng Liverpool?" asked Soriano again

MD, it's another difficult choice, I don't know if Zhou Shi won't be named? Is it going to be a time, a husk or a nut football club? This name sounds awkward!

"It's called Qilin Football Club!" Zhou Shi really couldn't think of any nice names, anyway, the left green dragon and the right white tiger, the former Vermilion Bird and the back Xuanwu have all come out, and it's time to release the middle Qilin.

"Kylin Football Club!" Soriano couldn't complain, he had long heard that Zhou Shi's name was not very good, why should he ask?

"That's right, how is Diego Simeone's contact? Zhou Shi asked Soriano, and he wanted to bring Simeone, the coach of Atletico Madrid, who was impressed in his previous life, to China as the head coach.

"No problem, reality always comes ahead of the ideal, and he didn't refuse our invitation. "Soriano, in his opinion, Simone is okay now. It's far inferior to Liverpool's Rafael Benitez. But since he is coaching in China, he can't ask for too much.

Zhou Shi thought that there are too many football talents in South America, and compared with European players, it is also cheap, and the so-called going out to bring in is also time to introduce outstanding football talents from overseas.

The new season has already begun, the Golden State Warriors and Liverpool have started a new journey, and I don't know what kind of results will be there this time. - The NBA doesn't say, Zhou Shi hasn't intervened for the time being, Liverpool has not made any moves this year, and the current squad is strong enough. A large part of the reason why there was no result last year was due to bad luck, and the whole team is full of confidence for this season. As the owner of Liverpool, both British and Hong Kong people have great respect for him.

There are pros and cons to this kind of thing, for example, the Shao family wants to transfer TVB's shares, and many people want to take over, from CCTV, Little Superman, Murdoch to Yang Guoqiang of Country Garden, and now Li Jiajie, the son of Lee Shau Kee, chairman of Heung Kong Henderson Land, is presiding over the acquisition, inviting Jack Ma, Guo Guangchang and others to join the team, the specific situation is not known, and at this time Zhou Shi's idea was raised. His competitors were Wang Xuehong of Wanwan and a speculator named Chen Guoqiang.

"What is the market value of TVB, and how much is the offer?" Zhou Shi looked at Li Jiajie, who was much older than him, and listened to him.

"TVB's market value is around 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and this time it acquired 26% of Shao Liushu's shares, which is roughly about 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. "Li Jiajie

"So much of a premium? Forget it, I'm not interested. Zhou Shi said directly that the traditional TV media itself is a backward industry, and he has no interest in acquiring TV assets.

"Simon doesn't think about it, this price can continue to be negotiated!" Li Jiajie

"There's no need, listening to their offer, you know that the Shao family still thinks TVB is a high-quality asset, I don't think so, the progress of science and technology will change people's living habits. The popularity of the Internet will greatly impact the value of TV platforms. Although judging from the current development, if you only make a short-term investment, there is still room for profit when you buy at the current price, if it is a long-term investment, it is almost impossible to recover the cost...... "Zhou Shi

"TVB is the most popular TV media in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan...... Li Jiajie

"This has nothing to do with me, whoever likes it can invest in it......" Zhou Shi, who has iQiyi in China and YouTube and Netflix abroad, what TV station does he need, it is simply a move many times.

Li Jiajie left disappointed, and after Zhou Shi communicated with Jackma and Guo Guangchang, he once again clarified his opinion. It is difficult to replace the TV station in the short term, but it will only continue to depreciate in value and its influence will continue to shrink. As for TVB's influence on public opinion in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, Zhou Shi really doesn't care about this. Although Friends does not occupy a monopoly position in the Asia-Pacific and Southeast Asian regions, only F&F can challenge them, plus YouTube and Twitter, in terms of comprehensive influence, Zhou Shi should be stronger than Shaw Brothers.

Seeing that it was about to be time for Sunac to go public, Zhou Shi was ready to wait until Sunac and AIA were officially listed, and then return to Silicon Valley after the transfer of rights, but he didn't expect that a lot of things had happened in the past few days, and he had to rush back to the United States in advance.
