Chapter 741: A Dancing Elephant

The so-called open class, that is, not only the students of Harvard University who came to listen to Ye Qiu's speech, but also the teachers and even the leaders of the school, and all of them could feel the lively atmosphere of the whole class.

The presentation, which was expected to last about 40 minutes, ended up exceeding 20 minutes than the scheduled time, and did not end until about an hour, mainly because the students in the class were so enthusiastic and unexpectedly enthusiastic that they even asked a lot of strange questions.

For example, they will ask Ye Qiu what it is like to lose, and they will ask Ye Qiu whether he will spy on the opponent's intelligence like a spy, etc., but there are also some very constructive questions, for example, there are many people who mainly focus on how Ye Qiu forms a coaching team, how to analyze and study opponents, and so on.

Ye Qiu also answered these questions one by one, and even at the end of the speech, when the host had announced the end, there was an obviously unnamed question, from London, England, who claimed to be a Tottenham Hotspur diehard college student shouting loudly to ask Ye Qiu what the team's goal was for the new season.

"Are you really a Tottenham Hotspur fan?" Ye Qiu was about to step down from the podium, but stopped.

"It's true, my membership number is 5201314!"

"Don't you know that we at Tottenham Hotspur will always have only one goal, and that is to win the title!" After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled again and said confidently to the student, "But I will do my best to try to get more." ”

There was a burst of warm applause at the scene again, and Ye Qiu left the lecture hall amid the applause of the students.

"What a wonderful presentation!" Harvard Business School Dean Nitting? Noria walked beside Ye Qiu, and the two walked out of the lecture hall side by side, and many college students who came out of the lecture hall around them were still greeting them.

"Teaching some of the content of management to students in the way of football, and it is full of many vivid cases, it is really wonderful and very exciting to listen to!" Nitting? Noria praised Ye Qiu beside him as she walked.

He is of Indian descent and the first dean of non-native descent in the history of Harvard University for more than 100 years. Noria's efforts over the past few decades.

"The students here are very good and it is very exciting to give them lessons, and it is also a very pleasant and comfortable process, especially when I talk to them, I find that many of them are well prepared, I thought they were not familiar with football, and they didn't even like it at all, but I found out that I was wrong!"

Ye Qiu's words made Nitin? Noria smiled and shook her head, "You're too modest, you know?" There are very, very many young people who like football because of you, and Tottenham Hotspur, and there have been students who have proposed to have a course dedicated to you on the school forum, and it has been supported and recognized by a lot of students, so we are preparing for it. ”

"I'm a native of Earth, please!" Ye Qiu joked.

"But a lot of people see it as an honor to listen to your lectures, or even to study your past and successes!" Nitting? Noria said this very seriously, because he knew that there were many, many students in the school who were Ye Qiu's fans.

Ye Qiu's speech at Harvard University was not only enthusiastically supported by the students, but even the American media also paid attention to and reported it, and after the speech, it even appeared in a conspicuous position on major news websites in the United States, and major news television stations also reported on this event, and even many reporters came to the scene to interview the students.

There is no doubt that it was a very successful speech, full of unknown details and content, and Ye Qiu was also using football to explain some of his ideas and experience in management and management, which were supported by the students.

Harvard University also quickly uploaded a video of this hour-long public class on its official website, so that all interested parties can download it from the official website, and the video of this public class quickly caused netizens around the world to download and watch it wildly, setting off a trend of pursuit on the Internet.

After Ye Qiu finished the public lecture, he quickly returned to New Haven.

Tottenham Hotspur's pre-match training camp is mainly Mauro? Tassotti is in charge, and the entire Tottenham Hotspur coaching team has accumulated quite a lot of experience in this regard, so everything is very familiar, even if Ye Qiu is not there, it will not have much impact.

With the help of the news and attention created by Ye Qiu's open class at Harvard University, Tottenham Hotspur also began to build momentum for the team's training camp in the United States, and major sponsors have also made their own strange moves to win the attention of the media and fans, especially with Tottenham Hotspur's multiple publicity and promotion plans, for a time, Tottenham Hotspur completely occupied an important section and news time of major newspapers and television stations in the United States, which caused a huge repercussion in the United States.

In this trend, Tottenham Hotspur played a warm-up match with AC Milan in Boston, and Tottenham Hotspur finally defeated AC Milan 1:0 with Vidal's goal, but Tottenham Hotspur did not play well in this game, but the defense was better.

The media and reporters have also taken the initiative to find reasons for Tottenham Hotspur, after all, Tottenham Hotspur has just finished a difficult and brutal round of physical reserve training, and it is understandable that they have not performed well.

In the team's second warm-up game in New York, facing Pellegrini's star-studded Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur and La Liga giants played a crazy offensive football, and the two sides drew 2:2.

But because of this, the team's back line was broken by Real Madrid twice, but Ye Qiu gave a high evaluation of the team's performance after the game, thinking that the most important thing now is to run in and warm up, and he is very satisfied with the team's performance, as for Nesta, he believes that with the deepening of the schedule, he will gradually integrate into the team.

As early as after the team was still training in Theobold, Ye Qiu had already asked the research center to tailor training plans and arrangements for veterans such as Nesta, Drogba and Pirlo according to their physical conditions, and there were special people to follow them and be responsible for their injury prevention work.

Judging from the team's high-intensity physical reserve training in Theobald and after coming to the United States, they are not old enough to run, especially Drogba, relying on his own professionalism, his physical fitness is still maintained quite well, and the rich game experience accumulated over the years of his career has made this elephant more and more shrewd and can dance.

An ibly nimble elephant from CΓ΄te d'Ivoire, terrifying, right?

One win and one draw in the two warm-up games, Tottenham Hotspur's performance can only be regarded as mediocre, after all, it is now the warm-up stage, if the current state is too good, Ye Qiu feels a little worried.

The third warm-up game is in Washington, the opponent is Bayern Munich, this is also after the Champions League final, Tottenham Hotspur once again encountered the Bundesliga hegemony, and after the introduction of Mandzukic this summer, Bayern Munich's front court is obviously more aggressive, but the midfield has not yet found a suitable person, so they can't help Tottenham Hotspur in this game.

In the end, 2:1, Tottenham Hotspur defeated the opponent steadily and won another victory in the warm-up match.

The Bundesliga game comes earlier than the Premier League, so Bayern Munich's current form is obviously better than Tottenham Hotspur, but Heynckes' team weakness is still quite obvious, especially that defensive line, which is a big problem.

After the Washington game, Tottenham Hotspur returned to training camp in New Haven for four days before heading south to Miami along the east coast of the United States.

Watson Island, one of the small islands east of Miami, is a place that everyone visiting Miami will want to visit.

The island is flanked by Miami's most famous beaches to the east and downtown Miami to the west, and most of the Miami beauties that are often seen in Hollywood movies are found on these islands and beaches.

Watson Island is home to the famous Miami Children's Museum, Miami's largest yacht harbor, and the most famous Jungle Island theme park, one of Miami's most famous attractions, home to more than 3,000 species of wildlife and more than 500 species of plants, making it a must-see for all visitors to Miami.

But it's such an island, a road connecting the beach to the city divides the island in two, the northeast half is the jungle and the yachting center, and the southwest half has only a children's museum, and the rest is empty land, because investors have been planning to build a commercial center here more than a decade ago.

Around 2010, they officially proposed to build a 975-metre-tall skyscraper that would surpass the Burj Khalifa as the world's tallest building, and the entire project had been designed and land acquired, but the project had to be halted for the past two years.

The reason is simple, no money!

Everyone knows that this plan has great potential, because according to the design, the energy of the building will come from renewable energy, of which 60% will come from wind energy, and the use of a series of new technologies such as greenhouse gas management and wastewater recycling will make the whole building very advanced ecological technology.

In addition, the skyscraper is planned to build 160 floors, including an amusement park, an observatory, a trade center, a shopping mall, restaurants, shops, apartments, office areas, restaurants, a marina, a yacht club and a series of facilities, which will occupy most of the land in the southwestern half of the island, and they have even applied for a no-fly order from the Federal Aviation Administration.

In other words, because of this skyscraper, American planes in Miami will be forced to reroute.

The reason is very simple, even the Miami government is very clear, this is a city within a city plan, once successful, it will become a new commercial city in Miami, a new commercial center, will create 50,000 construction jobs, and 40,000 permanent jobs, and can bring about 3 billion funds to the Miami economy every year, as well as a billion dollars in taxes, will directly drive the entire Miami economy to improve again, for Miami's ambition to become a business center in the Americas, is undoubtedly a big help.

The Americas are mainly aimed at the countries south of the United States, which have been talking about the Free Trade Area of the Americas for more than a decade, and although the negotiations have reached a bottleneck, Miami has always been regarded as a very important commercial center in the Americas.

But such a plan has stalled because no banks are willing to provide financial support and loans.

Because the total investment in this plan is also very impressive, as high as $4 billion, it is really difficult for US banks that have suffered from the subprime mortgage crisis to arouse their interest.

But not necessarily for others.

Ye Qiu held a parasol, against the evening sun, appeared on the construction site in the southwest of Watson Island, Chen Zhong also held an umbrella, walking beside him, he had just returned to Miami from Tallahassee, the capital of Florida, and brought back a promise.

"They have agreed that we will take over, and they have agreed that you will build a new stadium here, and that they will use public funds to help you with your new stadium, and we will not have such benefits, and even the banks will have to do it ourselves!" When Chen Zhong spoke, he felt a little like the state legislature favoring one over the other.

In recent years, the government has been encouraging domestic enterprises to invest abroad, including the United States, of course, and although Huangtian Group is actively transforming, it has successfully created a precedent for several real estate projects abroad, and has made a good example for domestic real estate enterprises, that is, to go abroad and make money all over the world.

In Chen Zhong's joking words, let people in other countries in the world become house slaves.

Of course, similar to this kind of project with an investment of up to four billion US dollars, Chen Zhong himself has also done a lot of research within the Huangtian Group, and finally agreed that with the current strength and relationship of the Huangtian Group, it is completely possible to bring a group of domestic business partners to operate.

In the short term, this program is good for the Miami and Florida economies, and it's a very big stimulus, but in the long run, when you contribute a billion dollars a year to them, and when your city-within-a-city program becomes an important part of Miami's economy, then you can influence some of their policies.

This is a common principle all over the world!

"But, to be honest, I've heard that the football market in Miami isn't good, so why would you choose to start a new team here?" Chen Zhong was full of doubts about Ye Qiu's decision.

Frankly speaking, even without Ye Qiu, Huangtian Group can win this skyscraper project, but why would Ye Qiu choose to build a new team in Miami, a city that is not interested in English football?

You know, around the turn of the century, there were two football teams in Miami, namely Miami Fusion and Tampa Bay Rebellion, but both teams announced their withdrawal from the major leagues in 2001, for the simple reason that the fans here didn't buy it and there weren't many spectators.

After Ye Qiu heard this, he smiled, "It was the beginning of the century, but now it's 2012, and it's been eleven years!" ”

The major leagues at the turn of the century were indeed not very attractive, but in the past decade or so, the American soccer market has become more and more popular with the active development of Europe's biggest teams, which can be seen from the fact that football can become the second largest sport in the United States, and the number of fans is also increasing.

Major League USA is different from the Europa League, he fixes how many teams he plays, that is, once it is established, it will be difficult to add new teams, which means that Miami Hotspur will monopolize the entire Miami and even Florida football market in the future, and the team's future development potential is very large.

Moreover, with the business environment in the United States, the major leagues have formulated a series of measures such as salary caps to encourage healthy management, and the development potential of the major leagues in the future is really amazing, coupled with the relationship and influence of Tottenham Hotspur, I believe there is a lot to be done.

"It's because everybody thinks the U.S. soccer market isn't good, and not many people are interested, that I'm coming in, and when everybody realizes that the big leagues are starting to get into a big swing, a major league team is going to be worth a lot of money, especially a big league team with a beautiful state-of-the-art soccer field!"

Ye Qiu is convinced that this is a very good deal, but his future business focus is still on Tottenham Hotspur.

It's a bit similar to the way Ajax and South Africa's Ajax Cape Town, the difference is that Ajax Cape Town is more about providing talent and academy for the parent team, and he needs Ajax blood transfusions, so this model is very stressful for Ajax.

But Miami Hotspur is different, this is one of the richest cities in the United States, set up a team here, participate in the major league games, Miami Hotspur can fully support themselves, and then rely on Tottenham Hotspur to send a group of outdated superstars, Miami Hotspur can fully establish a foothold in the United States, and have more appeal in Miami and Florida.

That's why Beckham, or even LeBron? James is so optimistic about this team, and he has to do everything possible to find Ye Qiu through relationships and get a little share, this is an investment, an investment in the future.

And Ye Qiu is now releasing some shares to attract these stars, not much else, as long as LeBron? James shows up to watch the game from time to time out of the psychology of supporting his team, and it is estimated that the attendance rate of this stadium will not be low, and the influence in the United States will not be bad.

"In business, I may not be as good as you, but when it comes to football, buddy, you are too far away from me!" Ye Qiu patted Chen Zhong's shoulder with a smile, with a very shocking attitude.

Although Chen Zhong had a very resentful expression, he actually knew very well that even if he was doing business, especially some investment vision, he was not as good as Ye Qiu, at least Ye Qiu had proved this with facts in the past few years. The difference between Ajax and South Africa's Ajax Cape Town is that Ajax Cape Town is more about providing talent and academy for the parent team, and he needs Ajax blood transfusions, so this model is very stressful for Ajax.

But Miami Hotspur is different, this is one of the richest cities in the United States, set up a team here, participate in the major league games, Miami Hotspur can fully support themselves, and then rely on Tottenham Hotspur to send a group of outdated superstars, Miami Hotspur can fully establish a foothold in the United States, and have more appeal in Miami and Florida.
