Chapter 31: Planning
(Yesterday I had dinner and drank some wine, and I forgot to explain a very important thing.) Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm going to Guangzhou on a business trip tomorrow, maybe four or five days, I don't dare to break the update, but 6,000 words I'm afraid I can't guarantee it, I strive to update more than 4,000 words every day, I hope you understand. )
Old Hill's idea is definitely not wrong, because with the cooperation with Zhou You, he can directly earn a lot of money for the project, and he can also pull Zhou You in to invest in the future of Atletico Madrid.
Of course, he is different from Zhou You's pursuit, because he pursues profit, while Zhou You's pursuit is fame.
He had already made up his mind, and the ten percent of the shares would be a favorable bargaining chip in his hands, and he would gnaw a piece of meat from Zhou You's body when the time came.
He already saw it. Zhou You is seeking fame, so for the sake of his reputation, he will never use illegal means to get shares, and can only accept his offer.
Perhaps, when the time comes, this ten percent, Evan Zhou will have to buy it with 40 million, which is a sacrifice he must make in order to control.
However, he didn't think of one thing, if Zhou You took control, used his management rights, used his own financial advantages, increased investment in the team, and diluted his shares, how would he face it.
Before Abu was swinging his oil money to roil the entire European ball market, he probably never imagined this.
Because now there is no club in the world except Real Madrid and Barcelona, two membership-based clubs, that is not careful about living.
Because these two clubs have hundreds of thousands of members who pay for the clubs, while the other teams spend their own money.
Although the old Hill invests not much less than Barcelona every year, he generally buys players from South America and sells them to other teams after a few years of team transition, so their financial situation is actually relatively healthy.
Let's talk about Inter Milan's Moratti, he has bought more world-class players, and now Inter Milan is full of superstars, which can be called the Hollywood of football, but does he really lose money on these players? Not necessarily.
Their current business difficulties are that there are too many superstars and superstars, resulting in too high salaries, plus their grades have been poor, and their business income is too small, so they have the name of star black hole.
However, in terms of the value of the player, Moratti really doesn't suffer much.
A real big boss, none of them are fools, which one is not a human spirit? How can a mistake of principle be made?
The elder Hill is also shrewd, but there are two things he didn't expect, one is the change in the football world in the next few years, and the other is that his own life is short.
Of course, he is not an immortal, it is impossible to know how long he will live, and it is impossible to foresee the future. So, while his arrangements seem to be effective, they don't necessarily really work.
First of all, the money of Zhou You's money will rise rapidly in the next few years, and the Hill family's money will not be worth mentioning in front of him.
Secondly, since Zhou You wants to be famous, although he will pay attention to the influence on the surface, he is not a peaceful person in the first place.
Secondly, neither of his sons inherited his shrewdness and did not have much interest in the management of the club. When he dies, even if they only have the right to manage these shares, they will definitely find a way to take over the Hill Family Foundation, and at that time, these shares will still be up to them.
A day later, the contract was formally signed under the supervision of both parties' lawyers and notary lawyers. However, the effective date of the contract is not now, but next May, after the end of the La Liga competition and before the start of the World Cup.
Moreover, Zhou Yu did not have to pay any deposit, because they also signed another engineering contract, and when the design office completed the planning of the two casinos, Hill Construction Company will officially become the general contractor for the two casinos.
Although Zhou You is relatively tight now, not to mention 48 million, even 10 million is difficult for him to draw out now, but next year, his financial pressure will be much smaller.
Because the contract is due to be in effect next year, the news that Zhou You will become a shareholder of Atletico Madrid has not been reported. However, from now on, he and the old Hill will also slowly release rumors, introduce new investors, test the mood of Atletico Madrid's fans, and also test the mood of the people in Spain.
Now is not the tide of gold in a few years, as long as there are clubs with enough fans, almost all have foreign capital investment, and the football market is still relatively conservative. When you are the first person to eat crabs, you should be careful, otherwise good things will turn into bad things.
After signing a contract with the elder Hill, Zhou Yu did not stop in Madrid, but returned to Singapore without stopping.
In Singapore, Adelson's negotiations with Temasek have also come to an end, and Temasek's negotiations with Qiandu will also involve Zhou You. In addition, the Ranger is now basically maintained, and the crew on leave will arrange the next step, and Zhou You can't wait to divide himself into three heads and six arms to deal with these things in front of him.
The salvage of the Royal Merchant will be a feat of Zhou You's fame in the salvage world, but this incident will also touch the sensitive nerves of Britain.
In the previous life, the Odyssey Company salvaged the Royal Merchant, and it also went through all kinds of entanglements with the British government, and even at the beginning, the Odyssey Company did not admit that it was a British shipwreck.
It was not until the Florida court ruled that, according to the Law of the Sea Convention, although the treasure belonged to British merchant ships, 90 percent of the profits belonged to Odyssey, and Britain could only get 10 percent of it.
The U.S. court ruled this way because Odyssey is a listed company in the United States, and they not only have to pay nearly 30 percent of the taxes to the U.S. government, but also drive Odyssey's stock up by 80 percent. Because these $500 million treasure has driven the US economy to rise by at least billions, the US government has spared no effort to help Odyssey.
First of all, Singapore was once a British colony, and even now there are many national policies that are influenced by the British. Britain is no longer the overlord of Singapore, but its influence remains.
Secondly, the company is not a listed company, and Singapore does not tax the income of an onshore company outside the country. Therefore, it is impossible for Singapore to directly fight against the UK, not to mention, even if it does, it may not necessarily win.
Therefore, Zhou You must operate this matter secretly, and act quickly and quickly, so that the British do not know about it before the treasure is recovered.
When Zhou You transported these treasures back to Singapore, at that time, the British would know, and they would not be sure where Zhou You had salvaged the treasures, let alone know that this was the Royal Merchant.
The current convenience is that 911 happened, so that the attention of governments around the world is focused on West Asia and South Asia. Taking advantage of this vacancy, there is still time and space for Zhou You.
On October 7, Zhou returned to Singapore, but on this night, almost no one could sleep, because the whole world waited to hear the voice from the United States.
Just after 0:00 Singapore time on the 8th, at 1 p.m. local time in Washington, the United States, President George W. Bush announced in Washington that the United States and Britain had begun to target the Taliban authorities in Afghanistan, as well as Iraq. This. Lan extremists pulled. A military strike was carried out at the Kada training camp in Deng.
The war on terror has officially begun.
It is worth mentioning that the last major military war in the United States was also launched by Bush Jr.'s father, Bush Sr. Twenty years apart, the father and son launched two wars in the United States in the past two decades.
But none of them thought that this war would last ten years, until 2011. The killing of Abbottabad, Pakistan, was the end of the story.
In the past 10 years, the United States and Britain have dispatched a total of 220,000 troops, thousands of aircraft, and spent a total of more than $1 trillion in military spending, which has caused a heavy burden on the US government and can be regarded as a direct cause of the 2008 financial crisis.
Of course, only Zhou You knows these things now, and when he lived in the United States, ordinary people also had different opinions about this war, each with their own opinions, and often quarreled and fought.
Yan Fangqing saw that the press conference was over, and Zhou You was still sitting on the sofa silent, so she stepped forward and turned off the TV. "Go to bed, it's not too early, you have so much to do tomorrow."
Zhou You shook his head and said, "You go to sleep first, I fly around in Asia and Europe, my biological clock is disordered, and now I don't feel sleepy at all." You have to go to class tomorrow, go and rest, I'll go to the study to check some information. ”
Yan Fangqing walked over, sat down beside him, and asked, "Look at your frowning, what happened to you again?" ”
Zhou You knew what she meant, in general, Zhou You would not take business matters to heart, and the only things that could make Zhou You renovate were emotional matters and political pressure. Now during this time, they have a good relationship with the young master, so it must be an emotional matter.
Yan Fangqing is jealous.
Of course, Zhou You would not tell her directly that he was going to England to extract his teeth this time, so as not to worry her. However, he will not admit that this is because he has made waves emotionally.
He smiled and hugged Yan Fangqing's waist and kissed her on the lips, only to realize that Yan Fangqing not only sprayed perfume after taking a bath today, but even put on light makeup, which was blaming himself for being negligent and snubbing her.
"Don't think about it, you and Long Long are the ones I care about the most, how can I be cold to you for other women. It's just that you also saw it just now, and now that there is going to be a war, I am thinking about the future, and I don't mean to neglect you. ”
Yan Fangqing said leisurely: "Isn't it good to live a down-to-earth life? Why do you think about tossing every day? ”
Zhou You disagreed and said: "What's the meaning of an ordinary life? Eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, go to work, get off work, go home, wife and children hot kang head, isn't this the same as animals! ”
"Isn't that how everyone else has been?"
Zhou You said with a smile: "That's the choice of people who don't have the ability, the person who really has the ability, the one who can keep the loneliness and not toss it is worthy of the world!" ”
Yan Fangqing wanted to say something, but Zhou You kissed her directly on the mouth, hooked her arm, hugged her, and strode towards their bedroom.
