Chapter 529: Crazy Gambler
The flamboyant transfer strategy makes many people unable to understand
Wilkinson is one of them, he originally thought that a lot of money would be invested in the transfer, especially the forward position, looking at the forward target submitted by Zhang Yang, Wilkinson felt that Zhang Yang was interested in saving money for the club, the two most important goals
"Balotelli and Suarez?"
Wilkinson hadn't even heard of it, and after a closer look at the information, he realized that he was a young player who had just emerged.
With the exception of Balotelli and Suarez, the next most targeted striker is Anelka, and the others are players of average value, most of whom cost £5 million, enough to bring back to the team.
Such a cheap forward target made Wilkinson feel a little guilty.
Millwall have opened transfer talks with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, intending to sell leading goalscorer Darren Bent.
That's certainly a lot of income.
The club won the treble this season, and also received a huge championship bonus, plus increased TV broadcast shares, commercial sponsorship income, and the transfer funds that can be used in the summer can easily exceed 40 million pounds.
This is the investment fund for the club's transfer, and the income from the sale of players can also be put into the transfer fund.
In addition to Darren Bent, Sean Davies, Quaresma, and a number of other fringe players will also move away, and the player's transfer income must be more than 60 million pounds.
Combined, the amount of money that clubs can invest in the transfer market can reach or even exceed £100 million.
Millwall have become the biggest transfer team in Europe this year.
With such abundant transfer funds, Zhang Yang did not focus on the target of a striker star of Torres' level, but mainly bought two young players.
Wilkinson was both guilty and grateful for Zhang Yang.
Wilkinson is the vice president of the club, in fact, it was sent by the Mossad Prince to manage the Millwall Club, the Millwall Club is an investment by the Mossad Prince, His Royal Highness may like football very much, but the investment is an investment, after buying the club, His Royal Highness the Prince did not think about making a large investment, and his asset situation does not allow to do so.
As an investment, having an income is definitely the best.
If a large amount of money can be saved in the summer transfer, Wilkinson can take out a part of it and use it to pay dividends to shareholders, Prince Mossad is the largest shareholder, holding more than eighty percent of the club's shares, and also has the absolute right to control the club, so he will naturally get a large amount of dividend income, which is almost equivalent to giving Wilkinson the club's profits to Prince Mossad.
When the time comes, His Royal Highness the Prince will definitely be very satisfied with Wilkinson's ability to work.
According to the state, Wilkinson was a dutiful son.
Wilkinson himself, who has been working in the UK for a long time, is not difficult to immigrate at some cost, but her mother is a princess of the Saudi royal family, even if there are many princesses in Saudi Arabia, one more and one less, it seems that it is not a big deal, but in fact, it is still very difficult for the princess to break away from Saudi nationality and live in other countries for a long time.
With Prince Mossad withstanding the pressure, his mother was able to live in other countries.
Although it is still very complicated to break away from Saudi citizenship, at least most of the time, you can not return to Saudi Arabia.
This is Wilkinson's pursuit.
Zhang Yang has talked to Wilkinson and still has some understanding of his situation, but it is absolutely impossible to save transfer fees and curry favor with Prince Mossad for Wilkinson.
Zhang Yang only thinks about the team, not how much income the club will have.
That's a club-level thing.
Next, Zhang Yang screened the target of the field, which made Wilkinson feel a little painful, Millwall on the side, in need of additional personnel, the side of the field is left and right, and there are no core players, Pire is old, Quaresma wants to transfer away, which means that they have to find players with stable performance again.
Zhang Yang is looking at all big names, famous stars, such as Sneijder, Robben, Malouda, Ribery and other names, and younger ones also have Nani and Di Maria, with the name, Di Maria is not yet famous, but if you want to bring it to Neil Stadium, you have to pay at least five million pounds, and other names represent tens of millions, tens of millions of stars.
Zhang Yang spent a week almost determining the list of target players, goalkeepers, defenders, field, strikers, there are a certain number of targets for each position, and there are almost twenty transfer targets in total.
This is also a large-scale scattering strategy.
The club will make inquiries and offers for each player separately, and which players will be signed in the end, depending on the situation, more than 20 players are the goal, in fact, it is not too much, because Millwall has to introduce six to ten players, and the success rate of recruitment is 30% to get enough players for the team, in fact, the European transfer market does not have such a high success rate, and for every player that comes out, there will be several clubs to compete for, even if it is a marginal star, it is common to receive several offers.
It's not about publicity, that's what the club has to do.
There are still many possible jobs on the transfer road, or there are transfer target players, who will need to be persuaded by Zhang Yang's personality charm, but there are not many jobs related to Zhang Yang.
In terms of transfers, the club can do a good job.
In order not to have any accidents, Zhang Yang continued to stay for a week, concerned about the progress of various transfer work, explained his views, and most of his thoughts were transferred to New York, USA.
New York, there is family affection, there is wealth.
Zhang Yang's daughter is more than two months old, and Ivanka has almost recovered, with her daughter as a bond, the relationship between Ivanka and Zhang Yang is also improving, for example, the two chat on the video for a while every day, and when they are very happy, they will talk late.
This is progress.
Zhang Yang feels a little like he has entered a period of love, and the object of his love has already given birth to a daughter for himself.
"Is this the first train, the second ticket?"
Zhang Yang and Ivanka also had an agreement, he said that he would go to the United States in June, and Ivanka decided to come to London to live for a while in August.
Ivanka's decision was tough.
Ivanka has listened to her father since she was a child, her father is her idol, and even her life plan is similar to her father.
Her father was sternly opposed to her being with Zhang Yang, "If you find a white boy, even if it's a homeless man, I will agree, but not Chinese!" ”
This sounds like racism, but in fact, Ivanka knows her father, she knows that his father is simply against it, and finds a reason to convince her that if she really finds a homeless man, her father will 100% refuse.
The United States is a free country, and the freedom to marry is protected by law, but Ivanka did not marry Zhang Yang because of her father's opposition, and she didn't want to completely tear her face with her father because of her marriage.
That would be a tough choice.
Zhang Yang was a little lost, but he could also understand that if he wanted to completely tear his face with his relatives for the sake of a girl, it would definitely feel very bad.
When the time comes, will feelings still be feelings?
After all, this is reality, not an illusory love movie, life needs to be faced, but his career has started, not to say what will happen in the future, but I believe that the future will become very smooth.
Andy and Gene Tagore have a pessimistic view of the future.
Jean Tagore has always believed that he is an exaggerated gambler, and few people dare to bet with all his net worth like himself, but his gambling luck is not very good, and he loses all his studs.
Until, he met Zhang Yang.
In Gene Tagore's eyes, Zhang Yang was just a young man from China, who looked very quiet, like an ordinary professional, and had nothing to do with gamblers.
The flamboyant profession and appearance are somewhat out of proportion.
For gamblers, in fact, they are all the same, make more money, make less money, and gamblers have nothing to do with it, even if they make less money, they can't help but be bold, and those who make more money will be cautious.
Some successful people earn 100 million dollars a year, but as long as they lose tens of thousands of yuan, they will feel very distressed.
This is all very common.
Jean Tagore thought that Zhang Yang was just a sudden idea, and he was only interested in using the money he made to invest and set up a company.
There are many such people.
Often after a small loss, they will continue to be frightened, withdraw funds quickly and quickly, and vow never to make any investments that may lose money in the future.
This kind of person is not suitable for investment.
Now Gene Tagore's view has changed dramatically, and when he first joined the company in London, the situation was better, and Zhang Yang just took out the money and invested in US stocks.
If you buy stocks with a large amount of money, you are likely to lose money, not to mention that you still have to decide which stock to choose in the end.
Publicity?
This guy has no investment experience at all, so he won't be selected by rolling the dice?
That's how Gene Tagore saw it, and after a little more than a month, his opinion became, "This guy's good luck!" None of the stocks selected have lost money! ”
This is just the beginning.
In just two months, Zhang Yang invested most of his money in stocks and asked Jean Tagore to do all kinds of transactions, and in the process his assets also achieved rapid appreciation
Forty percent!
Jean Tagore was quite surprised, even if every stock was recommended by him, the U.S. stock market was also in a bull market upswing, but the value of forty percent in two months was still too amazing.
It's not easy.
At the beginning, Zhang Yang would choose a large amount of money to press on a stock, and after a month, the investment was stable, buying and selling every day, and the number of stocks held was easily more than ten.
Jean Tagore found the feeling of running a fund, the only thing is that he does not decide to choose stocks, he is responsible for recommending stocks and finding the right time to sell, when he used to run a fund, Tagore has never had such a hearty feeling, because every selling operation is not to swing a knife to cut meat, but to try to find a high point to sell, because every transaction is profitable.
Tagore couldn't help but be complacent about his vision, after all, stocks were recommended by him.
In the following month, Tagore went to work in the United States, in a temporarily rented office, with Andy and Wu Haibo, trading U.S. stocks and stock futures, and his mood also became uneasy, because every transaction was too risky.
Zhang Yang seems to be dissatisfied with the income of four percent in two months, and decided to start buying futures with leverage, using ten times the leverage operation to make crazy investments at any cost, their total funds are about 10 million US dollars, New York stock futures have stricter requirements for participants, each transaction needs a certain amount of guarantee funds, their first transaction is about 4 million US dollars, and the guarantee funds of ten times the leverage also need 2 million US dollars.
The deal made Tagore's hands tremble.
What if, losing money?
The transaction is a tenfold leveraged operation, and a loss of 10% is equivalent to the loss of all funds, a loss of 15%, and even the guarantee funds must be lost.
Ten million dollars, it seems like a deal is going to be lost.
It was not the first time Tagore had made such a big bet, but he was still so nervous that he didn't sleep on the night of the trade, and he couldn't help but curse, "With so much money, what stocks do you buy?" Buy the bond with the lowest interest rate, and you can live a chic life by eating interest! ”
In the first three weeks of Tagore's arrival in the United States, he made this transaction, and his daily work was to keep an eye on the stock market, excited about the rise of one percent, and frightened of the fall of one percent.
Waiting for the half-month insurance period to end, Tagore thought about it, gritted his teeth or waited for a week, and the transaction finally ended with twice the profit, and their total capital suddenly exceeded 17 million US dollars.
This is a big win!
Rabindranath Tagore and Andy were so nervous and excited that they didn't have time to celebrate, because it was like playing a football game, and they felt like they had won the trophy at the end of the game, but the next day there was a second deal
Oil futures.
Tagore was sure that he had not recommended oil futures to Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang personally called and carefully explained that they should trade oil futures for eight million dollars and sell them when they made a certain profit.
"Will international oil prices rise?"
Tagore felt incredible, and hesitated for a long time, and discussed with Andy for a long time before believing that Zhang Yang was not crazy.
That's $8 million in futures, and $80 million in leverage.
What if you lose it?
International oil prices only need to fall by more than a dozen percentage points, they need to sell other stocks, divert funds to make up for it, and then months of hard work will come to naught, and the company will return to the pre-liberation period at one time, or even worse than when it was first opened, because the original capital will have a certain degree of loss.
At the end of May, Tagore and Andy made such a trade in oil futures.
On the second day of the transaction, the international oil price fell by two percentage points, which made Tagore and Andy sweat profusely, the two of them could not eat, they could not sleep well, and they were tormented every minute and every second, and finally, they waited for the news that made people breathe a long sigh of relief
Zhang Yang, I'm in New York.
