Chapter 812: The Night Gives You Black Eyes

Build a modern and professional football stadium...... It's not an easy task.

In addition to the approval documents of the local, national, cultural and land bureaus, as well as the permission of local residents, the most difficult thing is the issue of funding.

Frankfurt's Forest Stadium and Juventus' New Alp Stadium, which are simple stadiums, cost relatively low, about $150 million.

Bayern Munich's Allianz Stadium at a cost of $350 million, Arsenal's Emirates Stadium at a cost of $600 million, and London's new Wembley Stadium...... The cost is as high as $1.05 billion!

But even with the new Wembley Stadium, which costs more than $1 billion, is the stadium's facilities, equipment, turf and concept design among the best in the world?

Far from enough!

At least, not quite as high as the jewels of football – the Bernabeu, the Camp Nou and Old Trafford.

A single renovation of the Bernabeu will cost $500 million!

How to compare?

If Done wants to build a world-class professional football stadium for Liverpool, he must go for the best in the world, otherwise it would be better to use the current Anfield stadium.

It is also the best course in Europe.

Don Capital now has $550 million on its books, but it will cost at least $1.5 billion to buy the club and build a new stadium!

That's not even counting the big annual spending on the transfer market.

Play Team ...... Especially Donne's idea of playing the real-life version of FM Football Manager's top tuba, it simply won't work without money.

Don is nominally the richest man in the world, but right now, he really can't come up with so much money!

Unless......

Raise money by reducing your holdings of shares in companies such as Apple and Amazon, or go to the bank to pledge your shares.

The former is a brain-dead act, which is completely impossible.

Latter...... Fucked up too.

Stock pledges will reach an annual interest rate of 6%-12%, especially for technology stocks, the stock price is very volatile, there is a very high risk of liquidation, and the interest rate is higher. If you borrow $1 billion, you have to repay more than $100 million a year in interest alone, so you might as well take out a mortgage on a property.

But the mortgage of the property ...... Although Don has a lot of real estate in his name, it is not enough to get a $1 billion mortgage.

The richest man is the richest man, but cash flow is still a big dilemma.

The richest man is equal to the first loser, which is a common practice all over the world.

No matter how rich people are, in order to solve the cash flow problem, they will inevitably go into debt.

Of course, liabilities are a normal means of financial lending, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Donn, however, was reluctant.

He didn't want to go into debt unless he had to, and then let the bank earn the money lying down, earning such a high interest for nothing......

Anyway, there's no rush right now.

The construction of the stadium...... It doesn't happen overnight.

Even if the construction plan starts immediately, the actual groundbreaking will not be until next year.

Don Capital now has $550 million in cash flow, and it is enough to buy the team with $400 million and spend another $100 million to make waves in the transfer market!

The remaining $50 million is the cost of living.

There are too many women, and they always have to be raised.

Donn talked to Rick Parry for more than three hours, and did not discuss the details, only to build a macro blueprint for him - to revive Liverpool!

Rick Parry naturally felt Donn's full sincerity, thanked again and again, praised frequently, and repeatedly said that after he returned, he would immediately propose to convene a board of directors to fully promote the handover of the club!

The handover should be completed in the shortest possible time so as not to affect the team's preparation for the new season.

……

"Donn, with a reporter's phone interview, is The New Yorker. ”

While Donn was pondering to find a solution to cash flow, Ella Fisher hurriedly ran in.

"Telephone interviews?

Don frowned.

There are so many reporters who want to interview by phone that he almost shouldn't do any, and he doesn't have the energy. Ella Fisher is in such a hurry, something unexpected must have happened.

Sure enough, I heard her say: "Michael Moore just gave an interview to The New Yorker, and he ...... He said something very irresponsible, saying that the Harvey Weinstein affair was a conspiracy, a political conspiracy to hinder the release of Fahrenheit 911 in the United States! He also mentioned you by name, saying that you were in collusion with the White House and that you were the mastermind behind the conspiracy. ”

Don couldn't believe his ears, "How dare he say that?"

Ella Fisher said, "yes, they're all angry. The New Yorker reporters want to hear from you, and if you don't have an opinion, they'll send it out tomorrow. ”

"Humph!"

Done's face sank, he really didn't expect that The New Yorker magazine would dare to threaten his head like this. It shouldn't be the orders of the higher-ups, it's this stupid reporter who makes his own opinions, thinking that he can dig up big news.

As soon as he wanted to go back, when the words came to his lips, Don held back, groaned slightly, and said: "Ella, you go and arrange it immediately, a "New Yorker" is not enough, call the reporters of "Hollywood Reporter", "Los Angeles Times", "New York Times", "Film Magazine", "Village Voice" and other media, and an hour later, I will make a statement to them in the form of a conference call. ”

……

An hour later, Donn appeared in the conference call room, his red phone connecting reporters from 12 newspapers and magazines across the United States.

Don wants to give the final explanation for the U.S. release of Fahrenheit 911.

always makes the rumors boiling outside, and the impact is too bad.

"Time is limited, so I'll cut it short. The content of this telephone interview can be reported as it is, and this is still my authorization. Since February, news of Fahrenheit 911 has appeared. At the time, everyone was widely condemning Disney, believing that Disney's ban on the release of the film was interfering with press freedom. ”

"Disney has done a lot of explanations, and here, I'll talk about my thoughts as well. ”

Directed by Michael Moore...... He's a great documentary filmmaker, and I admire his abilities, and he won the Academy Award for Best Documentary last year. This year's Fahrenheit 911 also won the Palme d'Or, and I would like to congratulate him on that. However, for many of his irresponsible claims, especially political conspiracy theories, I can only say that he is a politically unminded paranoid. ”

"You are all journalists, and you must have heard a lot of conspiracy theories, such as the legend of Freemasonry in the United States, the Anglo-Saxon project in Britain, and the big family in France with a fortune of 30 trillion dollars...... and the collusion between the Bush family and the ** family in "Fahrenheit 911". This kind of clichΓ© may be interesting as an after-dinner conversation, but if it is taken seriously, ......"

Of course, there are a lot of political idiots who don't understand politics but love to study politics and believe in this kind of conspiracy theory the most, and there is no doubt that Michael Moore is such a person. I'm sure there are some people who have seen the movie Fahrenheit 911, and foreigners may be shocked by the contents, but you are all Americans, and you should know how ridiculous it is. ”

"Michael Moore said I was blocking the release of Fahrenheit 911, he was wrong, I never obstructed, I was just delaying. ”

"This is an election year, and I hope that the American people will cast a sacred vote to decide the president with independent aspirations, and not be misled by this ridiculous film. Fahrenheit 911 will be released in the United States, but it must be after the election. Harvey Weinstein and Michael Moore tried to influence the American people's election through a movie, and this is the real political conspiracy!"

"Now that Harvey Weinstein is mentioned, I'll say one more thing here. The New Global Feminist Association has received a lot of reports one after another during this time, and many of the contents are shocking. Hollywood is a beautiful filmmaker, the highest temple of film art! I am very sad that such a cancer has appeared! However, justice will be late, but it will never be absent!"

……

Don didn't give the reporters a chance to ask questions, and was talking to himself the whole time.

Tosca Musk, Jasmine Bloom and Ella Fisher's three female assistants all stood quietly and listened intently.

When Donn hung up the phone, Tosca Musk couldn't help but laugh shamefully: "You are really ashamed, Hollywood, this place, I don't see any beauty, as far as the eye can see, it is dark!"

Tang En said angrily: "The night has given you black eyes, but you have to use him to find light!"

"Huh?"

Tosca Musk's eyes lit up slightly.

Jasmine Bloom was also pleasantly surprised: "Donn, so you still have the temperament of a poet!" Hmm...... Sounds like lyrics. ”

"You're talking a lot of nonsense!"

Don glared at her angrily, turned and left the conference room.

Jasmine Bloom pursed her lips with a grin, followed step by step, and whispered: "Boss, next week, the actors of "Brokeback Mountain" will go to Texas to join the group." ”

"Hmm, didn't you join the group a long time ago to experience life?" Don was a little surprised.

Jasmine Bloom pursed her lips and said, "The ones who joined the group before were Jack Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, and they ...... It's the male protagonist, and you have to cultivate feelings. This time it was the two heroines who entered the group, and they had fewer roles and were not in a hurry. ”

"Anne is back?"

Don's eyes lit up.

Before that, Anne Hathaway went to shoot a "Pretty Woman", filmed in Germany, Spain and other places, and played with Joseph Gordon Levitt, Channing Tatum and others.

So much so that Donn didn't touch her after the Oscars.

Jasmine Bloom smiled mysteriously, "Not only that, in addition to Anne, "Brokeback Mountain" also has a heroine named Michelle Williams, an actress with a very temperament. ”

"Michelle Williams ......"

Tang En's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded secretly.

This is the woman who played "Marilyn Monroe" in the movie...... She was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress.

"It's all arranged?"

"Tonight, villa 2. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

"Do you want to call your long-legged tennis girl too?"

"Forget it. ”

Don thought of Sharapova's tall and hot and shook his head, "This is California, she's only 17 years old, be cautious." Next time I go to the UK, call her again. ”(https:)
