Chapter 488: Lobbying

Mansour's proposal made Tang Feng stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said: "Mansour, although I like football very much and have a little spare money on hand, I have no plans to buy a team in Oushou to have fun. Sorry buddy. ”

Tang Feng is not a fool, these days, the acquisition of a European team seems very lofty, but in reality it is not the case. Take the Premier League team as an example, it is purely a bottomless pit of money-burning, and it cannot be said that it burns more money than the Star Exploration Program, but compared to F1, the Premier League's money-burning degree is not bad at all.

Now whether it's the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, or Ligue 1, if you don't burn money, your team can't develop, and this has almost become a law. The Bundesliga is slightly better, but the Bundesliga has a somewhat fucked up "50+1" policy, which seriously limits the possibility of foreign investment entering the Bundesliga.

The so-called "50+1" policy means that the shares of the Bundesliga team are divided into two parts, a larger part is in the hands of the club, and the other small part is in the hands of the club members (generally refers to the fans who have paid the annual fee), and it is impossible for any foreign capital to fully obtain the controlling stake in the club, so those rich people waving huge checks are generally reluctant to get involved in the Bundesliga.

Clubs in Europe's top five leagues are an extremely scarce resource, but mastering it requires a lot of money. Manchester United is awesome, right? However, Manchester United is the club with the most debts in the Premier League, there is no one, and now Manchester City and Chelsea, if you really want to calculate it, the debts are even worse than Manchester United, but these two clubs have a good owner, and the owner's investment is not a debt, so the debt situation of these two clubs is not so bad.

However, it is precisely because of the excessive reliance on the owner's investment that the two clubs have developed somewhat deformously, once the owner no longer invests heavily. Then whether it is Chelsea or Manchester City, the results will immediately plummet.

Hearing Tang Feng's polite refusal, Mansour looked very sorry and said: "Tang, in fact, with your net worth, buying a team to play with is just a drop in the bucket. But the team brings you more than you think, and you can get status and fame in Europe. ”

Tang Feng smiled and waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Mansour, in fact, there are some things you should also know, recently Europe and the United States have fought in the international gold market, you said that I will go to Europe at this time, especially the Rothschild family's nest England to buy a Premier League team, what do you think the Rothschild family will think?" ”

Mansour was stunned for a moment and pointed at Tang Feng. He pointed in the direction of Europe again, and said dumbfounded: "Tang, you won't also participate in this economic war, right?" ”

Tang Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "There's no way, I was kidnapped by someone else and put on a warship, and I can't get off the ship now if I want to!" You should know that Newmont Mining has now changed owners, right? Unfortunately, I'm now the boss behind Newmont Mining."

"Oh, Allah is above, Don. I have to say that you are really courageous. Now the international gold market is so volatile, it is full of opportunities. It's a pity that Ixa and I can only look at it from the outside, and we don't dare to get involved. ”

"Haha, no, my dear Highness Mansour, with the strength of your Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, if you enter at this time. Surely there will be a huge profit. How about I, do you want me to contact your friends in the United States, so that you can enter at the right time and make a lot of money? ”

Hearing Tang Feng say this, Mansur and Ixa glanced at each other, and both noticed the excitement in each other's eyes.

This outbreak of the international gold price battle without warning. Let Mansour and Ixa look dumbfounded, don't look at them are both super-rich with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, but in the vast sea of the international gold market, their net worth is nothing at all. You know, the London gold market alone now has a turnover of more than $1.6 trillion a day.

And this sudden outbreak of gold price competition has pushed this turnover to a height of 3 trillion US dollars. The most important thing is that both Mansour and Ixa know very well who the two warring sides are behind this, don't look at the deep pockets of the oil diggers in the Middle East, but compared with those old European families and the big American conglomerates, they can only be regarded as the youngest of the little brothers.

Moreover, whether it is Europe or the United States, it is the Middle East that needs to be stammered. They have always been between these two forces, and they don't have the courage to offend both sides at the same time. Therefore, although the international gold market is full of opportunities, they do not dare to reach out.

However, not daring to reach out does not mean that they have no ideas, and anyone who sees such a big opportunity will be excited.

It's good now, Tang Feng actually said such a thing, this is obviously to send a chance to make a move in front of them. If you don't seize this opportunity, you really won't have this shop in this village.

However, the pressure from Europe still made Mansour a little worried, and his face showed hesitation.

Tang Feng smiled slightly and said, "Mansur, Ixa, you are all my good friends, let me tell you this, if you enter at the right opportunity, I guarantee that you can make a lot of money." Let me tell you a little secret, that is, now not only the major conglomerates in the United States have joined forces, but even Huaxia has joined the game early, but the powerful Huaxia is now on our side. I can say with certainty that it will not be long before the European side will not be able to withstand it, so this international gold long and short battle is destined to win the final victory with the short power of the United States. Mansur, Ixa, if you two can join in time, this big cake will definitely have your share! ”

After hearing Tang Feng's words, the light in Mansur and Ixa's eyes grew even brighter. Both of them are very good investors, especially Mansour, who is an outstanding investor, when he took advantage of the power of the acquisition of Manchester City in the United Kingdom, he began to buy shares of Balai Bank in a frenzy, and many people did not recognize Mansour's investment at that time, thinking that he was fooling around. As a result, seven months later, Mansour decisively sold his 11% stake in Balai Bank, earning him a huge profit of more than £1.4 billion.

Therefore, both Mansour and Ixa are actually very intelligent people.

After bowing his head and being silent for a short while, Mansour raised his head and asked firmly, "Don, what should we do?" (To be continued.) )
