Chapter Twenty-Nine: Jesús Hill
(I woke up in the middle of the night, although my whole body was weak, but my head didn't hurt, so I caught up with a big chapter overnight, and when I waited until daytime, there would be a second chapter.) Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info)
When Zhou You's call reached the United States, to Zhou You's surprise, Adelson learned that Temasek wanted to invest in his company, and he arrived in Singapore on his 737 plane as soon as possible, obviously very moved by Temasek's opinion.
But traveling around can also be understood. Adelson's goal is to become the world's biggest gambling king, and he is naturally reluctant to give up the huge market in Southeast Asia.
But Asians, although they are good gamblers, are very taboo about him as an outsider, and it took him three years to finally open a gap in Macau, and Malaysia and Indonesia, a strong Lin Wu Tong, did not allow him to enter this market at all.
If he can open a gap in Singapore, it will be very beneficial for his business expansion.
No matter how strong Lin Wutong is, he is still a little inadequate in front of the leader of a small country.
However, Zhou You didn't have time to wait for the results in Singapore, as his "big plan" in Spain finally got off to a good start.
This big plan is not a casino, but a plan for him to take a stake in Atletico Madrid football club and establish his new image in Europe, which is indeed much more important than a business plan.
Rhodes and Volando Sr. got in touch with the notorious old Hill in world football, and the old Hill soon couldn't resist the temptation and decided to sell 30% of Atletico Madrid's stake to Zhou You.
First of all, Zhou You bought him at the market price, and the current Atletico Madrid is not much real value due to the fall into La Liga and the serious loss of key players.
Their most valuable now is the club-owned Calderón Stadium, as well as their training base, and the value of the players is not worth mentioning right now.
But by authorizing him to contract the construction of two casinos worth $300 million, he could have an additional minimum profit of $50 million or 60 million, which is an irresistible temptation for the owner of any construction company.
After Rhodes contacted them in an official face, the specific negotiation tour was handed over to Caneroga.
First of all, Carneroga is the specific person in charge of the casino in the future, and it is only fitting that he will come forward to negotiate.
Secondly, Caneroga, like Old Hill, is an old rascal, and it is naturally much more convenient for the two old rascals to communicate together than Rhodes and other serious old men.
According to Demosa's secret report, the two old rascals really hit it off at first sight, and the two of them came forward to negotiate, but after less than a week of negotiations, all the conditions had been negotiated.
If it were to be negotiated by Demosa, a lawyer, and evaluated in all aspects, without half a year and a year, I am afraid that he would not dare to sign this agreement at all.
The two of them were good, but the two sides negotiated with each other together, and after two days of fighting, they estimated a total value of $160 million to Atletico Madrid, which was transferred to Zhou You, or $48 million.
Of course, this price is not high, because although Atletico Madrid's fixed assets are not much, but if you want to buy it, you still need to estimate the total price of 200 million, because Atletico Madrid has no debt.
More than a decade later, in order to open up the Spanish market, Chita Real Estate in the mainland also bought 20 percent of their shares, and the actual transaction price was 45 million US dollars, but Atletico Madrid was heavily in debt at that time, and Qianda bought 20 percent of the shares for 45 million, and at the same time had to bear those debts.
Of course, on the flip side, the dollar is worth much more today than it will be in the future.
The highest salary of the current player is only 4 million US dollars, but in the future, Ronaldo and Messi are not more than 10 million US dollars in annual salary.
But in any case, Zhou You is quite satisfied with being able to buy 30% of Atletico Madrid's shares for 48 million.
This price point is less than the value of Figo, but it can make Zhou You the second largest shareholder of Atletico Madrid.
Atletico currently have only three shareholders, with the old Hill family being the dominant one, accounting for 89 percent of the shares. There is also a minority shareholder, Serezo, the owner of a film company, who owns just over 6.0 percent of the club, and another shareholder, Abasolo who owns just over 4.0 percent.
The shares that Zhou You bought this time were taken out by Old Hill alone, he had 89 percent of the shares, and even if he gave Zhou You 30 percent, he still owned nearly sixty percent of the shares.
In his impression, old Hill didn't have a few years to live, and before he died, Zhou You always had to become a major shareholder.
He is not afraid that the other party will not agree, because in two years, he will have more money in his hand, and at that time, he will grab power, and he can be stoned to death with money.
Arriving in Madrid again, Demossa only had a quick meeting with Zhou You at the airport and went to Las Vegas, USA, where his negotiators and Gracia were still there.
It's funny to say, Zhou You is negotiating with Adelson, but Adelson is now in Singapore, he is in Madrid, and only the negotiating team is there.
Since the old rascal Caneroga was appointed as the head of the casino by Zhou You, the old tree immediately sprouted new sprouts and regained its second spring. At present, he is more motivated than a young man, and he wants to become a real black and Taoist tycoon in Spain.
He knows who brought everything now, so the more ambitious he is, the more humble he is about traveling.
This time, he brought three BMW and a group of bodyguards, surrounded the tour, and let him experience the style of being a boss.
"I've already made contact with Jesús Hill and we'll have breakfast together tomorrow morning, and it's said that the breakfast at the Hilton Hotel is pretty good."
Zhou You handed the suitcase to a bodyguard and sat in the car. "Ask you to contact you to buy the shares of Cerezo and Abasolo and what do they think?"
Caneroga also got into the car, carefully sitting on the other side, distancing himself from Zhou You. "At the moment, Coach Aragonés is leading the team and has been unbeaten in eight consecutive games and is currently at the top of La Liga, so there is a lot of hope that the team will be promoted to La Liga this year. Neither Cerezo nor Abasolo want to sell their shares at this time, because by next year, the stake will increase in value. ”
"I remember you saying that they were all legitimate merchants...... You should have many ways to deal with such people! ”
Caneroga said with a smile: "Without the authorization of Mr., of course I can't stir up trouble at will." What's more, Mr. bought the stake in the team in the first place to build his own image, and if he adopts radical methods, I am afraid that it will have an impact on Zhou You's reputation. ”
Thinking about it, this is indeed the case, what is the purpose of buying the team, you can't lose a big one because of a small one!
He thought for a while and said, "Then raise the offer, they only have a total of 11% of the shares, I don't believe they dare to ask for a sky-high price." If that's the case, you can have a direct impact on their other businesses. ”
"I see."
Since Gracia is not in Spain, I didn't travel to her suburban villa. Although the environment is quiet, it seems deserted when you live there alone.
So, before he came, he had already booked the presidential suite at the Hilton Hotel, not far from Calderón. He has the highest discount card given by Paris, and he only has to pay half the room rate, which is much more cost-effective than other hotels.
After settling down, Caneroga reported to Zhou You in detail about his contact with Old Hill, if he can operate it well, he can make fifty or sixty million dollars from building a casino this time, plus the forty-eight million cash that Zhou You has to pay, his income can reach 100 million.
Atletico Madrid, which is still in La Liga, is not worth more than $300 million, so this is the main reason why Old Hill can readily agree.
Early the next morning, he traveled around the living room of his presidential suite and received the meaty old Hill and his two handsome and dashing sons, Hill Jr.
Seeing this legendary figure, Zhou You's heart was also full of emotion, this notorious and notorious controversial figure, in his previous life, but he was a generation of heroes who couldn't catch up with Zhou You.
Many people are still honest people when they are seventeen years old, a student who goes to and from school every day, and at most does some smoking, drinking, and fighting. And what is seventeen-year-old Hill doing? He collected rent from prostitutes and women in brothels, houses.
Later, he entered the construction market, determined to become a wealthy builder. But the first building he built in San Raphael had no design drawings, no construction permits, and no fake architects and surveyors.
Eventually, the miraculous building collapsed shortly after it was built, killing 58 innocent occupants of the building at the time, to his complete indifference. For this he was arrested and imprisoned, and of course he was soon released, because he paid a sum of money to Franco, the Spanish poisoner at the time.
Why were Atletico relegated more than a year ago? The main reason is also because he was investigated by the Spanish Anti-Corruption and Bribery Agency that has frozen his assets. The reason is that Hill has been accused of embezzling about $29 million in funds from the city of Malvilla through false invoices and business documents when he used Sevilla's jersey to advertise for the city of Malvilla, where he is mayor.
The case caused an uproar in Spanish sports, with Hill's two sons, Angel and Celeso, also suspected of embezzlement.
At the time Hill and his board of directors were ordered to cease operations by the government's enacted administrator Jose. Manuel. Ruwe is responsible for the day-to-day operations of Atlético de Madrid. This also led to the eventual relegation of Atletico Madrid, although they also reached the final of the Copa del Rey that season, narrowly missing the title.
During his time at the helm of Atletico Madrid, he bought 141 players and hired 39 managers. One of them, Joaquín. Perrault, who lost his job before the season even began, simply because Hill didn't like how he looked in the team's family portrait......
Such a strange figure is Atletico's number one fan, and he is even with Newcastle United's Hall of the People's Republic of China, and Inter Milan's Moratti is known as the chairman of the three fans.
Atletico Madrid, who won the La Liga and Copa del Rey double in 1995/1996, said he couldn't find a horse to mount that would make him look great enough, so he rode an elephant into the streets to celebrate, which became a sensation in Spanish football at the time.
And after losing an away game in Atletico Madrid, Hill even hoped that the plane would crash on the way back, and even said directly in front of the media, "Good to fall and kill that group of rubbish!" ”
The Madrid Zoo gave him a crocodile and he said he would throw it to feed the players who didn't perform well.
He has done countless crazy things, embezzlement, unauthorized alteration of business documents, breach of contract, beating up the owners of other football clubs, verbally abusing politicians, and bribing the managers of other clubs through the wives of football coaches to play match-fixing......
Because of his big mouth, he has offended more than one person, but everyone has nothing to do with him.
Oddly enough, he also served as mayor of the southern Spanish city of Marbella, and did a pretty good job in office.
If Zhou You is not a reborn, facing such a quirky hero, he can't be compared with others at all.
In his previous life, he was at most a gold collar, a lone ranger who walked between black and white, but he was a real generation of heroes.
Old Hill had a meaty face, but his two sons were handsome and much taller than him.
Zhou You deliberately did not go downstairs to greet him, but he was still neatly dressed, and when he saw old Hill entering the house, he took the initiative to greet him, and said: "Welcome to the three Mr. Hill, it should be me to visit the three gentlemen, but I don't want this matter to cause too much of a sensation at present, so I am here to entertain the three gentlemen." Hello, old Mr. Hill, I have admired your name for a long time, and as the person who loves Atletico Madrid the most and hates Real Madrid the most, you have always been the object of my respect. ”
Old Hill was obviously very satisfied with this title, laughed, and said: "Indeed, as the person who hates Real Madrid in the world, this is the glory of my life, and I am even happier that so far, those high-ranking old men of Real Madrid still have nothing to do with me." ”
In Madrid, Real Madrid represents the upper class, while Atletico Madrid represents the lower class, and the two sides are on the same page. Although Atletico Madrid is not as rich as Real Madrid, their fans are no less than Real Madrid.
If you only compare the Madrid area, Atletico Madrid has more fans than Real Madrid, because there are always more poor people than rich people.
But Real Madrid has a myriad of fans around the world, and few other clubs in the world can match them.
