Chapter 22: Becoming a Team Owner

(Thanks to Hu Yansheng for the reward, last month's update was not powerful, and the plot was not written satisfactorily, so a volume was reopened, I hope that a new volume, a new January, can satisfy everyone.) Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info)

However, how to disguise one person as another without being seen through by everyone requires a very strategic approach.

He didn't even know what he should do, but fortunately, these old men were all conspirators, and they didn't lack them at all.

In fact, in Europe, due to the previous years of war, the barriers between countries are so strong that it is difficult to say that there is a unified value, for example, Spain and Portugal are very different from the social atmosphere in Germany. Italy and the Nordic countries are almost completely opposed.

Britain is not so much a European country as an American country, an Asian country, or a world country, because they do not consider themselves a real European country at all because of their years of colonial history.

Since the establishment of the European Union, Britain has been unwilling to stay in this union, and in the future they will hold a referendum and withdraw from the European Union.

In addition, the Yankees deliberately provoked the war in Syria in order to create a wave of refugees and impose a heavy burden on European countries.

The effect of this ploy has been far greater than the United States had hoped, and the refugee problem has not only caused heavy economic pressure on European countries. Later, it caused many political problems, law and order problems, and even terrorist attacks.

Because of the emergence of refugees, the UK's withdrawal from the EU has also caused the existence of the EU to be in jeopardy, and many countries even intend to leave the EU.

However, at the time of Zhou You's rebirth, although this problem already existed, it was not detonated, so he didn't know what the future would become.

Europe's conservatism is in contrast to the openness of the United States, and it is not a simple matter to be recognized in Europe.

But the methods given by several old men made Zhou You suddenly feel like a time and space disorder, because these methods were adopted by a tycoon in his previous life, that is, three years after this time and space, and this tycoon's name was Roman Abramovich.

In order to increase his influence, to be Putin's nail in the West, and to ensure his own personal safety, Abu actively integrated into the mainstream European social circle, and the first important decision he made was to buy Chelsea.

In Europe, there are invisible barriers between countries, and the differences between countries are very large in southern and northern Europe, Eastern Europe and Western Europe.

But there is one thing that is common between all countries, and that is the influence of football.

Former Basque Country President Rhodes took out a thick stack of materials and handed it to Zhou You, saying: "La Liga has gradually taken the throne of the world's first league from Serie A, but in Spain, most of the teams are not in a good financial situation, so you have a lot of goals." But, after our analysis, your best target should be this team ......"

Zhou You looked at the front page of this stack of materials, because it has not been translated into English, Zhou You does not know Spanish, only recognizes the three words Madrid, because there is no royal word, Zhou You guessed the information of the Atletico Madrid team.

Instead of looking at those materials, Zhou Yu asked: "Why Atletico Madrid?" And not Osasuna or Real Sociedad? ”

There is no mention of Athletic Bilbao, another of the most famous teams in the Basque Country, because this team is the most special team in the world, and their players and managers are all made up of Basques. They are also the only team that doesn't care about results, only blood, so it's impossible for an outsider to buy this team.

The elder Volando said: "Actually, I also want you to buy Osasuna, because in this case, I can also put the name of honorary president in this hometown team." But Pamplona is too small, and this team with passion but lack of market will never be a giant. This doesn't help much with the reputation you want to pursue. The team you need to invest in doesn't need to have a lot of influence, but it must also have enough influence, and the teams in Spain behind Real Madrid and Barcelona are very suitable for you. What's more, Atletico Madrid has now fallen into the second division and failed to reach the first division this year, so the value of this team will not be too high. ”

Rhodes continued: "Madrid has a large population base, Atletico Madrid also has a wide influence, and your acquisition of Atletico Madrid will also help you to open a casino in Madrid. ”

Zhou You thought for a while and said: "But Jesús Hill, the owner of Madrid, is not an easy target to convince, and I don't think it is possible for me to convince him to let him transfer his shares." ”

Rhodes laughed out loud and said, "Since we have given this plan, we must have considered this matter carefully. It's true that Ciel's old guy is not easy to deal with, but for you, he is the easiest to deal with. ”

Zhou You was a little surprised and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Rhodes laughed and said, "Have you forgotten that you are going to build a large casino in Madrid and Mallorca, and this old guy Hill made his fortune in construction, do you think he wants to get the project in your hands?" ”

Zhou You understood, indeed, he and Adelson were going to invest up to $500 million in Spain, of which more than $300 million were infrastructure, and it would be strange if Hill wasn't interested.

Even if you can't get all the shares at once, but the old Hill will die in two or three years, and before that time, it is not very difficult for him to become the majority shareholder of Atletico Madrid.

Thinking that he could become the majority shareholder of Atletico Madrid, Zhou You's heart was also full of excitement.

Think of Abu in his previous life, he was not the richest man in the world, but his reputation was louder than many people who were richer than him, and it can be said that except for a few people, there was hardly anyone who was more famous than him.

What does he rely on? It is Chelsea that he built single-handedly, although he spent a lot of money, but his purpose of buying Chelsea has definitely been achieved.

Atletico Madrid is no worse than Chelsea, and even more advantageous, because in Madrid there are only two top teams. Unlike London, where a city has more than a dozen teams, there are five or six teams at the top.

Moreover, Chelsea's Stamford has only 40,000 seats, and it is located in the center of the city, so there is no way to expand, and ticket revenue can only be sold in the middle of the Premier League.

Atletico Madrid's Calderón Stadium has nearly 60,000 seats, and ticket revenue alone is one-third more than Chelsea's. As long as the team's results come up, Zhou You believes that the ball market is definitely much bigger than Chelsea.

Zhou You thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "I can hand over the construction of one or even two casinos to Hill's construction company, but the shares I hope to get can also satisfy me, so I still need you to continue to help me with these things." ”

Rhodes laughed out loud and said, "Of course, we must also be worthy of the high salary you have offered us and the creation of such a good retirement environment for us." ”

Of course, in addition to buying the football team, there are many things that need to be done in Zhouyou, such as participating in some charity events, keeping a close eye on politics, and his think tank will also use the media from time to time to create a tour in the eyes of the public.

He didn't understand these things, but he believed that these old guys, according to their plan, would definitely become a person accepted by the public and mainstream society in two or three years, not just an outsider.

Since Victoria's departure, Zhou You has been thinking about the fact that he does not have enough funds.

He has a lot of money in his hand, hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, even Bill Gates may not be able to take it out at once. But he needs to spend more money, and now it's time to make ends meet.

Spain's investment totaled $500 million, and even if Adelson joined, he would need to come up with more than $300 million. Of course, he doesn't need to use all his own funds, he only needs to invest in Spain at most 200 million US dollars, and the rest of the money can be used by the bank.

The main problem now is the stake in Adelson's Sands Group, which is worth as much as $500 million if it is not yet listed, and if Zhou You wants to get 10 to 15 percent of the shares, he needs to prepare $500 million to $800 million in funds.

This money is something he can't get out of now.

In Du Niang, in Tengxun, and in Google's investment, they are still in the growth stage, and Zhou You will never sell these shares now, and if he wants to raise funds, he will have to rely on loans.

But finding the right lender shouldn't be sloppy.

Investing in Spain, Zhou You is going to take out a loan with a Spanish bank, which is currently very eager to become a cooperative bank for casinos in the future, so they should be willing to invest.

The main shortfall is the money invested in Adelson's Sands Group, which would require at least $400 million to $500 million. In addition to the Ranger, he only has shares in a few companies that he can pledge, so he needs to find a trustworthy bank.

After two more days in Madrid, I negotiated a loan with the Spanish National Bank, and then flew back to Singapore.

Anyway, he is now a Singaporean, and when he borrows from a bank, of course, he must first choose a bank in Singapore, so that the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders!

If he had found a foreign bank first, I am afraid that the first person in charge would have to talk about him. Only when he can't negotiate with a bank in Singapore can he go to a foreign banking institution.

Zhou You doesn't have much pressure on whether he can negotiate, the shares in his hands are high-quality assets, not to mention banks, that is, if many financial institutions know that Zhou You is short of money, they will not hesitate to take out funds to help him finance. (To be continued.) )
