After leading the team back to Manchester, it was time for the international break.

Before March, there was a break in the league and in addition to the daily training and club work, Wansheng had other things to do.

In February, the Tagore Wan Group has officially begun to transfer funds from the United States to China, with the Hong Kong stock market being the preferred destination, and the group has begun to acquire scattered Tengxun shares.

In addition, the group company has also begun to pay attention to some domestic investment projects.

One of the investment projects caught the interest of Kevin Tagore, who saw the potential and called Wansheng, "...... Wansheng, I have studied it carefully, and I think this project has great potential and development prospects. Now they're just getting online, they need foreign investment, and now Sutter-Hill-Ventures and Farallon-Capital are bullish on them, and there's a foundation in Chinese mainland that has given them some funding, but they're still underfunded, and I think we should give them more and more adequate funds to develop. ”

Wan Sheng's head was a little dazed when he heard this, and he asked, "Stop, stop!" Kevin, what exactly is the project? ”

“Youku！”

"What?"

"Youku, yes, that's the name, their website was launched in December last year, with the core of playing videos uploaded on the Internet, this form is definitely losing money in the short term, but in the long run, as long as they have enough users, it can bring a lot of profits!"

"I'm optimistic about them!" Kevin Tagore made it clear.

Wan Sheng was stunned for a long time.

"Youku? I'm K! He finally reacted, what did Tagore say, wasn't that the fastest-growing video site?

He really admired Kevin Tagore!

I have memories of my past life, but I didn't expect such a good investment project as Youku, and Kevin Tagore is completely dependent on his own ability. What a genius vision!

Kevin Tagore said for a long time, Wan Sheng didn't reply, he thought Wan Sheng was favored, but he didn't expect Wan Sheng to say directly, "Try to invest, you go and contact them as soon as possible." We want to invest as much as possible and strive for more shares and shares! ”

Wansheng doesn't know what the final market value of Youku is, but the development will definitely be very good in the next few years, and they have become one of the most famous video sites in China, and this alone knows that many investors have made money on them, and now they are just starting out and need a lot of financial support, just Tagore Wan Investment Group, just don't know where to spend more than 100 million dollars of scattered funds.

On the third day of finalizing the investment. Kevin Tagore replied that Youku only needs $10 million in financial support, and if Tagore Wan Group invests $10 million, it will get 30% of Youku's shares.

$10 million is already a considerable amount of money for a start-up video site.

In fact, Youku's current market capitalization is only $15 million, and their total investment is just over $10 million. In their opinion, $10 million is already a lion's mouth. It's just that they didn't expect that this little-known Tagore Investment Group would be so 'easy to talk' and agreed without a 'counteroffer'.

They can only sigh that people abroad are really rich!

Youku insiders are also interested in the Tagore Group. Because before that, they had never heard the name.

So they quickly went to find details of the Tagore Wan Group, and soon they found some confidence in the recent move of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which was on a frenzy to buy shares in Tengxun.

Tagore Group's acquisition of 'Tengxun Holdings' can definitely be described as crazy.

A large portion of Tengxun's shares are not offered on the stock market. It is fixed to the core members and several companies that have injected capital, and the shares issued in the market are those public shares and scattered shares, and the stock price has been floating up and down 80 Hong Kong dollars, which has increased by more than 20 times from 3.7 Hong Kong dollars when it was issued in early 2004.

Previously, many people believed that 'Tengxun Holdings' had reached an all-time high, so there were many cases of scattered stock sell-offs.

But since the beginning of February, Tagore Wan Group began to acquire 'Tengxun Holdings', the situation is different, no matter how many shares are sold in the market, they will be eaten for the first time, as a result, 'Tengxun Holdings' has been limited in the morning for 3 consecutive days, and then it has opened intermittently and steadily rising, but now the stock price has reached 110.3.

By the end of February, the Tagore Wan Group had completed the acquisition of 3% of the shares of 'Tengxun Holdings', and the scattered shares in the market were almost swept away.

Although the pace of acquisitions has slowed down a lot, Tagore Wan Group has attracted attention, Tengxun Group's three-percent shares, with a market value of nearly $300 million, and the acquisition of 'no price' in half a month, which is very unwise in the eyes of many financial people.

The Hong Kong media reported on the takeover, but no one from the Tagore group came forward to say anything.

Due to the frequent visits of media reporters, and finally Kevin Tagore himself was interviewed, he appeared in the public eye for the first time as the president of Tagorewan Group, and the most important point he emphasized to the media is, "We are optimistic about the Chinese market, we believe that the Chinese market is the most potential in the world, so we will strive to transfer our shares and investments in the United States to Hong Kong and Chinese mainland as much as possible in the next six months!" ”

Kevin Tagore's words were sonorous and powerful, and everyone who learned the report had confidence in China's development.

After that, Kevin Tagore talked about some issues such as the direction of investment in Hong Kong and the mainland, and he was silent about why he wanted to buy Tengxun's shares on a large scale.

Kevin Tagore's public appearance still caused a lot of influence, because soon someone recognized him as Wansheng's agent, as Wansheng's agent, Kevin Tagore appeared in the European media career several times before, and the domestic media did not report much about him, but as long as there was a report, you could know that he was Wansheng's agent.

The most surprising thing is that the largest controlling shareholder of this newly emerging investment group with stock investment as the main means of profit and assets of hundreds of millions of dollars is actually Wan Sheng, the current head coach of Manchester City Club.

Wan Sheng?

The football coach who is famous in Europe, Chinese mainland and even East Asia?

At first, the media who got the news didn't believe it, but if you believe and understand the rise of Tagorewan Group in a few years, you will know that the largest controlling person of Tagorewan Group and the chairman of the board of directors is Wansheng!

As a result, this news was quickly published in various domestic media reports, and was soon learned by the European media, and recently appeared in the European media reports.

Many people knew that Wansheng had opened a small company by himself, but the investment company has been developing in the United States, so it has not attracted much attention.

It's incredible, isn't it?

This is almost like a legend, even comparable to the legend of this Chinese on the football field!

Many people felt incredulous, and when more media reported it, they believed it, and at the same time, there were many media reporters who came to interview Wansheng for this news, and Wansheng was a little annoyed, and simply did not accept this aspect of the interview at all.

"I'm the manager of Manchester City and I only answer questions about the team, as for the Tagorewan Group, I just own a stake in them and their CEO is Kevin Tagore, so you can ask him questions about that."

Wan Sheng said solemnly.

The reporters who came to interview the media were all bitter because they couldn't find Kevin Tagore, who had been in Hong Kong for a while and had never been back to Europe.

In addition, they interviewed Wansheng because Wansheng was already very famous, and if someone else was the chairman of the Tagorewan Group, it would also be unnecessary to interview.

It's a pity that Wan Sheng didn't pay attention to the media's requests, and he is currently most concerned about Manchester City's results in the league.

In the 28th round of the league, Manchester City defeated Wigan Athletic 1-0 at home.

Three days later, the 29th round of the league arrived, with Manchester City beating Middlesbrough 1-0 away.

Two consecutive 1-0 seems to mean a decline in Manchester City's attacking ability, and some media have also expressed their views on this, believing that Manchester City's winning streak is coming to an end.

"At this rate, Manchester City are likely to draw or lose to Middlesbrough in the next round, ending their winning streak or unbeaten league run!" The Daily Mirror expressed its opinion.

"Manchester Sport" also followed suit, "At present, Manchester City has started to have injuries in the squad, and their bench depth is insufficient, which will have a great impact on Manchester City's results in the next league, and April will be a chance for Manchester United to catch up!" ”

Wan Sheng didn't bother with the hostile media, he ******** deal with the upcoming Champions League match.

PSV Eindhoven lost 2-0 at home, but the Dutch media still supported PSV Eindhoven, after all, they are the only remaining seeds in the Eredivisie, and if they lose to Manchester City, no team in the Dutch league will reach the last eight of the Champions League.

So before the game, many Dutch media cheered Eindhoven up, "As long as you can score two more goals than Manchester City at Manchester Stadium, Eindhoven will win." ”

And that's true.

According to the rules of the Champions League knockout round, if the score of the two games is the same, the promotion depends on the away goal, PSV Eindhoven scored two more goals than Manchester City, and the score will naturally be the same, so if they score three goals at the Manchester stadium, the goal difference will naturally be one higher.

But...... It's all nonsense!

City simply couldn't give the Dutchman that chance, especially on their own appearances.

In the end, Manchester City blocked the Dutch with a 1-0 match, and Manchester City easily beat PSV Eindhoven 3-0 over the two legs to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. (To be continued.) )
