Chapter 62: The Boss's Thoughts

Gao Bo looked at David Morton sitting in front of him with interest.

Today's David looks much more energetic than Gao Bo saw before, his hair is smeared with a thick layer of hairspray, and the hair stuck to his scalp is combed like pine needles to the back of his head with a greasy back.

Looking at the surroundings, an upscale bar is very quiet, and you can occasionally hear the whispers of the drinkers.

There is no staggering of the usual English taverns, no cacophony except for the sound of the bar's waiters tapping on the floor as they walk around, and the soft classical symphony of the taverns.

It's an upscale bar, in other words, it's a high-budget bar.

Gao Bo didn't like this kind of environment very much, and what he didn't like the most was a glass of red wine in front of him.

Gao Bo prefers spirits to red wines.

"You have made a fortune, David..."

Red wine is also wine, Gao Bo reluctantly raised his glass and took a sip.

"I've made a little bit of a fortune from investing lately..."David Morton smiled a little smugly.

Gao Bo couldn't help but glance at David, 2008 has just passed, if people remember, the terrifying financial tsunami has bankrupted many rich people. The fact that he can still achieve investment income in such an environment shows that David Morton is not just a rich second generation of straw bales.

Gao Bo turned his glass, he wondered, should he also make some investments?

However, Gao Bo is not too interested in financial products, and he does know that there are several super Internet companies that will grow into world giants in the future.

"Have you heard of Facebook, David?"

Speaking of the fastest-growing offensive in the next decade, in addition to those Internet giants in China, it is these Internet giants that have grown up in the American market.

In the next decade after the financial crisis, these Internet companies will grow the fastest.

"I've heard that they're doing a good job, and it's said that the number of users has exceeded 100 million."

David Morton is also a young man, and he still knows quite a bit about these new things.

"I'm bullish on them, maybe you can invest your money in this company." Gao Bo raised his glass, frowned and took another sip.

Compared to the current environment, Gao Bo prefers the tavern on the street.

"Do you still know how to invest?" David looked skeptical.

For Gao Bo's professionalism in football coaching, American David is still full of doubts about Gao Bo, a Chinese guiding him to make financial investments.

David, who has made some money, now feels like the wolf of Wall Street, if it is to discuss football tactics or something, David Morton will not have any doubts about Gao Bo, but if it comes to investment finance... David Morton was at his most confident.

David Morton didn't continue the topic, he didn't ask Gao Bo to talk about it.

'Congratulations to Chelsea for reaching the fourth round of the FA Cup!' David Morton raised his glass.

Gao Bo also raised his glass in response.

"Is that Adam White really as good as the media says he is?" David Morton looked curious.

'If he can keep up the crazy performance he did against Chelsea, he'll be a talent that England can match Arjen Robben's.' Gao Bo naturally wouldn't say that it was because of the kicker effect of the card, which is why Adam's performance was so crazy.

"How much do you think he's worth?"

David Morton leaned in, his eyes lit up.

"If it were now, those big clubs would be willing to make their debut for about five million at most." Gao Bo frowned, but Gao Bo still answered truthfully to the boss's inquiry.

Spending five million on a young player in the second division was already quite an exaggerated figure in 2008.

"Only five million?!"

David Morton's disappointment hung on his face.

"Didn't you say he could match Robben?"

"Yes, if this trend goes according to this, I wouldn't find it surprising that Adam White has surpassed Robben. But on the football field, there are more geniuses of all kinds, but most of them end up developing differently than expected. There are a lot of talented players, but if you want to become a top superstar, injuries, mentality, and even luck will affect their development. Gao Bo put it down and looked at David Morton's eyes very seriously: "After all, the current Adam is only a half-finished product." ”

David Morton nodded.

"I see that the media in England these days have called him a talented player comparable to Messi...."

"Do you trust the media in England?"

"I'd rather believe that Wall Street is honest people..."

The two laughed, causing the high-end people around them to look sideways.

It's really unqualified....

......

The two laughing people no longer have the purity of the past.

Gao Bo understood what David Morton meant when he asked himself how much Adam was worth.

For David Morton, it is actually very difficult to maintain such a professional club. Even if it's a second-division team, the net investment of hundreds of thousands of pounds a year is a heavy burden for the rich second generation David Morton who has died of his boss.

And now Luton, most of the income comes from tickets to home games, as well as prize money and broadcast revenue in cup competitions this season. But this income, compared with the purchase and sale of players, is obviously a small thing, don't look at David Morton's disappointment that Adam White can only buy five million faces, this is because in his heart, Adam White can at least sell for more than 10 million pounds.

Ten million pounds, not to mention David Morton, is his deceased father, and he earns this a year.

With so much money, it's no wonder that David Morton is on the mind...

"If in two years' time, if Adam White is growing well, the big clubs will be waving cheques to compete for him. But now, he definitely can't sell it for too much price. ”

Gao Bo thought about it, considered the language and said.

Gao Bo actually doesn't want to make money by buying and selling players, it takes a lot of energy to bring out a team completely, if he can, Gao Bo wants to keep this group of players, they are all young people, if you keep this group of young people, Luton can even rely on this group of young people to be promoted to the Premier League, and even in the Premier League, they can also have a certain competitiveness.

After all, if the main lineup of a team has to be replaced every year, this is not a good thing for the team's combat effectiveness.

The owner of the team is thinking about making money, but the head coach of the team is not interested in that.

"By the way, Chelsea refused to give us tickets for the third round of the FA Cup.' Gao Bo said bad news.

The smile on David Morton's face froze.

This game alone has hundreds of thousands of ticket revenues, and Luton can be said to be salivating over this piece of cake.

According to the official rules of the FA Cup, ticket revenues should be split equally between the opposing teams. But according to the convention, when the giants visit a low-level team, they will donate their own half to the opponent.

Only this time, Chelsea are obviously at odds with Luton, whether it is Scolari or Chelsea's owner Abou, even if these hundreds of thousands of pounds are just a small amount of money for Chelsea, but they are not willing to share it with Gao Bo, who makes them disgusted...

David Morton looked at Gao Bo with some resentment.

Obviously, if Gobo hadn't offended Chelsea so hard before the game, Luton would have had to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds more in ticket revenue.

....

Gao Bo walked out of the bar in a black plush coat.

Half a year ago, David Morton was just a down-and-out rich second generation who inherited his father's negative equity.

And now, David Morton is the owner of one of the best teams in the second division, and if he were to sell this ball to all the main players, he could receive at least 20 million pounds of money - and cash!

This almost multiplied the assets of the team's owner more than a dozen times.

Gao Bo understands David Morton's thoughts very well, to be honest, if he has the opportunity to earn so much in less than half a year, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will not be tempted.

But at the end of the day, Gao Bo is the head coach of the team, and he doesn't want his players to be sold by the owner...

It's a team that has put so much effort into it.

He glanced at the gray sky and the drizzle of rain falling in the air. Gao Bo was also used to this kind of weather, he didn't hold an umbrella and walked directly into the drizzle.
