With the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States and as Europe gradually gets involved in the whirlpool of the debt crisis, more and more wealthy people in the world are thinking about a very serious topic, that is, what is the most valuable and investable industry?

This is indeed a serious subject worth discussing, because in the past two or three years, the wealth of a considerable number of the world's wealthy has shrunk rapidly in a short period of time.

Not long ago, Forbes released a report on their assessment, believing that among the more than 1,000 super-rich people who appeared on their global rich list in March of UR year, 300 people lost at least $1 billion, and dozens of people shrank by more than $5 billion, and even at the forefront, the top 10 symbol assets shrank by a total of $150 billion.

Many people have noticed that in the past year, in this list of the world's richest people, there are not many rich people who can go against the trend, the most eye-catching of which is, of course, Ye Qiu of Ye Technology, although his personal net worth assessment is only more than 19 billion, surpassing Hong Kong Li Chaoren, becoming the richest man in China, the tenth in the world, and the youngest one in the top ten of the Forbes rich list, but everyone knows that his worth is still seriously underestimated.

The Wall Street Journal once judged that as long as Ye Technology is listed, Ye Qiu's worth will surpass Bill Gates and Warren Buffett overnight and become the richest man in the world, because in another Forbes global enterprise list, Ye Technology ranks 53rd in this list as a non-listed company, even surpassing Goldman Sachs and China Mobile.

Among the companies in the same industry, Leaf Technology is still lagging behind Microsoft, Samsung Electronics, Intel, HP, IHN and other super giants, but with the overall strength and market value of Leaf Technology, as well as the company's development momentum, it will continue to maintain the current stable and high-speed development trend in the next few years.

At the very least, the two series of Zeus mobile phones and tablets will continue to be stable in the next ten years of Ye Technology, not to mention that Ye Technology is constantly issuing their strong intention to develop new products and create a complete set of intelligent ecosystems, and even quite a lot of people believe that in the next few years, this company will rush to the top 20, or even the top 10.

By the way, in the Forbes personal rich list, Ye Qiu's wife Huang Chu continues to be the champion of the Chinese mainland rich list with a total worth of 9.5 billion US dollars, and also ranks 40th on the global rich list.

In the past few years, in addition to the rapid development of real estate, especially commercial real estate, Huangtian Group, and gradually expedition abroad, in logistics, hotels, retail, automobile sales and other aspects of the performance development is also very fast.

Among them, the hotel will be a key link in the next step of Huangtian Group, so Chen Zhong will attach so much importance to this project of Zhenhua Building in London, because this will be the first overseas stop of Huangtian Group's hotel business, and the first shot must be fired.

It can be said that at a time when all the world's richest people are mired in the quagmire of the subprime mortgage crisis, Leaf Technology is extremely eye-catching, but everyone knows very well that unless they can be strong enough to develop innovative products such as Zeus mobile phones and Android systems, Leaf Technology has nothing to refer to for them.

Not long ago, Citibank released a data that listed quite a few investment areas, trying to provide investors with a reference to know which industry was least affected by the financial crisis, and the result was somewhat surprising, it turned out to be football

This is indeed something that everyone expected, because the football market is very, very insignificant, according to Citibank's estimates, in Europe, the football market is about 15 billion euros, and even if he has been improving in the past few years, but in fact, the annual increase is about 10%, and there is no sign of a sudden surge.

However, Citibank has listed a lot of data in this report very clearly to prove what it is, and they will list the football market as the most valuable investment industry, because in the past few years, especially in the two or three years since the subprime mortgage crisis, the football market has been steadily developing and expanding.

"In the UK, there are currently three million people unemployed, which is really a disaster for a country with a population of only 60 million, but we have noticed that in the past few years, as the most influential league in the UK, the Premier League, their business has obviously improved rapidly."

"Manchester United's total market value has continued to hit new highs after the acquisition by the Glazer family in the United States, not only from their business operations, but also from their football stadiums, for example, they want to sell the team's biggest star Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, with an estimated transfer fee of nearly 100 million euros."

"It's a crazy number, but Manchester United is not the only one, let's look at another more representative team, that is Ye Qiu's team, Tottenham Hotspur, according to the New York Times, Ye Technology's market value has increased at least three times in the past few years, which makes them hopeful that they will follow Manchester United and break through the billion euro market value mark, and in the transfer market in the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur's net profit has reached more than 300 million euros, which is definitely an incredible number"

"We don't say that all teams can be like Tottenham Hotspur, after all, Ye Qiu has done everything he did with Tottenham Hotspur, he has almost created miracles, but, football, this seems to be very small, the total market is placed in the global market is almost negligible, it has created a very amazing value and influence."

"Look at Abramovich, the richest man in Russia, the Forbes list is even after Ye Qiu's wife, Huang Chu, chairman of the Huang Tian Group, but he has created a huge influence in the world in the past few years, and it is not too much to say that his media appeal and attention are not inferior to Bill Gates, and all because he invested in Chelsea"

"It's not just that the market is constantly expanding, the influence is constantly expanding, let's look at the object of the football market, the fans"

"It's a very loyal group of consumers, many of whom continue to support the team even if they are unemployed, and even if they can't afford to go to the stadium, they still save money to buy club souvenirs and sit in front of the TV every week to watch football."

"Don't think that there is no value created in this way, in fact, the broadcast fee of the British Union has been rising in the past few years, and the latest contract signed for three seasons from 10 to 13 years, the total amount of the domestic market is nearly 2 billion pounds, close to 3 billion US dollars, which is a sky-high price that shocks the sports world, but this is only in the UK."

"As the Premier League gradually goes global, as the influence of Premier League football continues to spread, Premier League chief CPOI Richard Scudmore said in an interview with us that he personally expects that the next Premier League broadcast rights, that is, the three-year broadcast fee from the summer of 13 to the summer of 16, will have a total global revenue of more than 5 billion pounds, that is, 7.3 billion US dollars, and when he said this, he was so confident"

"This is just the calculation of the broadcast fee, for a team, the stadium operating income, commercial sponsorship, etc., and even the transfer of players, are very large transactions, and Ye Qiu is undoubtedly a person who is very proficient in this aspect of the transaction, because he himself is the best football coach in this world."

"What we want to say is that at a time when the economy is in a very low state of the world, and when Europe is increasingly in a debt crisis, the football market is still strong, and it is still an oasis in the desert of this sluggish economy."

"More importantly, it also has a very huge potential to be tapped, because as the world's largest sport, the football market is not only in Europe, but also in Asia and North America, and even South America and Africa, because the 10-year South African World Cup will be held in Africa, and the 14-year World Cup will be held in Brazil, and the football market in Africa and South America will definitely be detonated at that time."

After Citibank's evaluation report was released, it immediately caused an uproar in the world's circles, and everyone was surprised, they could never have imagined that the football market would have such great potential and influence.

For a while, there were endless rumors about the rich people who wanted to enter the football market, and the super-rich from India, the Middle East, Asia, the United States and other places have had scandals with football clubs, and even many people are indeed full of interest in football.

Among them is Dmitry Ryponorev, a Russian oligarch who has just bought a Manhattan mansion for his daughter at a sky-high price, sitting next to Khorabchin and watching the game intently.

Khorabchin's background has always been mysterious, including his role in the acquisition of West Ham United, but it is clear to everyone that he is ambitious and that he has never been content with just being an agent in the low-end industry, and like Pini Zahavi, he wants to climb high and work at the highest end.

Ryponorev is not a real fan, he is engaged in the largest potash fertilizer company in Russia, known as Russia's fertilizer king, although he also entered the Forbes 09 rich list, but ranked more than 100 outside, not famous at all.

But he was the one Horabchin had been looking for, the most likely person to complete his first club buying and selling intermediary, because Ryponorev really had that need, because he had a lot of money to spend, and what he wanted to do more was not to continue investing, but to preserve value, and the biggest customer of his fertilizer company was China.

Undoubtedly, this is a big reason why Khorabchin has his eye on him.

Because of this, Horabuchin arranged for him to go to the Premier League and the Champions League many times to watch football matches to cultivate his knowledge and interest in football, and today he came to the Olympic Stadium in Rome to watch this match between two teams, which is known as the most artistic in today's football.

"Tottenham Hotspur is completely pressing Barcelona to play, and Barcelona has no ability to resist?" Ryponorev was amazed at the second half of the game, which was completely different from the football games he had seen in the past.

What impressed him the most was that Tottenham Hotspur scored twice in three minutes of the first half, and the kind of fast and sharp attacking football brought a huge shock to him, and the enthusiasm of all the fans in the stadium after the goal was almost infectious.

Sitting in front of the TV is a completely different feeling than being in the middle of 80,000 fans.

"Is it possible to build another team in the shortest possible time that can challenge all the big clubs like Tottenham Hotspur?" Ryponorev wears glasses and looks very Sven, but in fact he is very wild inside, full of desire to challenge the strong, otherwise, he would not have come to this day.

"It's difficult" Horabchin's code of conduct is that he never makes promises to clients that are difficult to keep, "Ye Qiu himself is the top coach in the world, and he has a strong appeal in football, so the players he likes can be easily bought, which is difficult for other teams to have." ”

Reponorev couldn't help but nod his head again and again, he remembered Chelsea's Abramovich, Manchester City's Abu Dhabi consortium, and the recent investment sports boom in the Russian rich circle.

Perhaps, Citibank is right that the sports sector, especially professional football, will be increasingly favored by investors.

Horab Chin Zhi said that Ryponorev was tempted, otherwise, the Russians would not watch one football game after another, so he did not plan to let Ryponorev pass from his hands, and smiled: "Actually, investing in football clubs is the same as investing in other fields, and the emphasis is on a market benefit, depending on what you want." ”

"Abramovich would not have been able to have Chelsea now if it weren't for Ye Qiu, and you see, the Abu Dhabi consortium has spent so much money on Manchester City in the past year, but there is still no improvement, a very important reason is that they don't know football, and what they are pursuing is not just results, but influence"

For this, Ryponorev understands that the so-called loss of money and making money, sometimes wants to open the market like this.

"According to my estimates, it is very difficult to challenge Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and other Premier League teams in a short period of time and reach the top of the Premier League, and it is inevitable to invest heavily in the introduction of powerful stars, but at least three to five years, and there must be a high-level manager."

"It's almost unimaginable to sweep the Europa League like Tottenham Hotspur did without more than five years of high investment and a consistent squad and manager."

Sometimes, Horabchin has to admire Ye Qiu, he took less than two years to complete the road that others may not be able to complete in five years, and he spent just three years to make Tottenham Hotspur the most eye-catching team in European and even world football, this ability is difficult for other managers to have.

Perhaps, in today's football world, the head coach who has the ability to compete with Ye Qiu is likely to accept poaching, and Horabuchin can think of it for the first time, that is, Mourinho at Inter Milan and Benitez at Liverpool, and others seem to be a step behind.

"Five years?" Rybonorev muttered to himself, he didn't think that five years was a long time, as he had achieved such success in the business field, it would be a miracle that he could create a large company that received all the media attention in the whole world, just like Ye Qiu's leaf technology.

"Zia, help me find a team, I want to challenge Ye Qiu" Reponorev looked at Ye Qiu standing in front of the coach's seat command area below the stadium with a smile, his eyes were full of provocation.

What Horabuchin wanted was this sentence, and nodded again and again, "No problem, I have a team now, the boss behind him has a problem with funds because of the subprime mortgage and the European debt crisis, and he is eager to take him out, if he can be taken down, the two duels with Ye Qiu every year in the future will attract the attention of countless people, and I currently have a fairly suitable head coach candidate." ”

"Maybe he may not be able to help you achieve what you want in a short period of time and make the team a top team, but he is definitely capable of helping you build a solid foundation for a strong team in the next two or three years."

After hearing this, Ryponorev glanced at Horabchin meaningfully, but he still laughed.

At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded in the stadium, and this high-profile battle finally ended in a way that no one expected.

Tottenham Hotspur relied on a series of stormy attacks in the first half of three minutes, scored two goals in a row, successfully defeated Barcelona, won the Champions League this season, and became the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since the Champions League was restructured in 92

At the moment when the whistle blew, all the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stadium stood up from their seats in unison and gave their team a wave of applause, all the fans were chanting the players and chanting Ye Qiu's name.

And in the crowded stands, Ye Qiu didn't notice that Horabchin and Ryponorev also stood up, and they both applauded Tottenham Hotspur's feat, but in the eyes of the Russian tycoon, the eyes that looked at Ye Qiu were somewhat a challenger.

Also in a corner of the court that Ye Qiu hadn't noticed, there was another person who was also staring at him with the same eyes similar to looking at his prey.
