Li Yuan is full of absurd words, but in fact, the truth is very simple - everything revolves around the eyeball economy!

The acquisition of Sheffield United is undoubtedly for the sake of eyeball economy; took the initiative to invite the reporter of "The Sun", also for the eyeball economy; Now the head coach's spraying standard is also for the eyeball economy.

If you can't win eyeballs, isn't it a waste of this acquisition?

However, with such a beard, Huang Jiaojiao beside her was "poofed" and happy. She really couldn't help it, but she didn't expect that this man would be able to speak in front of reporters.

And Owen was already down on the spot. He was stunned for a while, still a little confused: "Uh...... Lee, is your kind of top manager really going to fight? ”

"No way? I don't know how to pick a manager. Li Yuan said with a smile, "But the head coach who has a strong war of words will definitely not be very bad." Besides, don't you "The Sun" like it? ”

"Huh?"

It's right to be reminded like this, and it's right to think about it. Whether it's the Jazz or the professor, they are all masters of the universe in the Premier League. Especially in the 95/96 season, Keegan's Newcastle United once led by as much as 12 points in the Premier League, and finally was the two old coins of Ferguson and Wenger.

Of course, in the Premier League, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger fought to the death, especially the war of words, which is a beautiful landscape. Not to mention, there are also rising stars like Muñho later? How many front-page headlines did they contribute to the media?

If that's the case...... Not bad, right?

Sure enough, the sports section of The Sun soon published a lengthy interview, which immediately caused a sensation in the British Isles and even spread throughout Europe.

"The British Centennial Club, Falling into the Hands of Chinese Bosses";

Sheffield United welcomes new owners with £500 million investment over the next five years;

"The IT myth has made history again, and finally expanded the territory to professional football";

"The Legend of Sheffield United's new boss Lee";

"Recruiting top head coaches, the standard is a war of words";

"The Decline of Traditional Football, Will It Eventually Succumb to Money"......

If you really want to make a sensation, the main thing is "five years and half a billion pounds". This made the entire European football circle explode, who is the soul? Is there such a price hike? Do you understand the laws of football? Do you know - money is not everything!

Anyway, there is envy, jealousy, and hatred everywhere.

Instead, Sheffield United fans are polarized within themselves. One is very welcome, no matter who is the boss, the one who can bring stars is a good boss.

The other is angry. What else can you do in the Premier League and League One? And finally, "fate with Sheffield"? God's special fate, a handful of ape dung on your face! Are we, the fans, begging you to buy it?

Also, the head coach will have a war of words? Shouldn't you pick someone who is capable, experienced, educated, and personable?

Don't you think about the image of our club? Don't be afraid of us sending ...... English football hooligans? Ahem.

In the end, the club's fans quarreled among themselves, and even got into a few group fights in the street. Once again, it caused a sensation in the British Isles and all of Europe. Never seen that there are cannibalism within the club?

It didn't take long for a large crowd of protesting fans to protest at the gate of Sheffield United's club. We must get rid of Li Yuan, the Chinese boss. It was a headache for the local police.

Come on! Li, the Chinese guy, why is he so good at causing trouble?

……

At this moment, Li Yuan will not care about Sheffield's at all. Even if you know that there is a protest, you will also steal the fun, isn't that the eyeball economy?

Moreover, Li Yuan and Huang Jiaojiao together, the two of them had already flown across the Atlantic Ocean and came to the United States......

Seeing Li Yuan sign the thick stack of contracts, the people around him burst into warm applause.

An old white man smiled and stepped forward to shake hands: "Congratulations, Li." From now on, you're the owner of the Colorado Avalanche, the Denver Nuggets, and the Pepsi Center arena. ”

"Thank you. I'll definitely bring the championship to Colorado and Denver for the rest hehehe. ”

“……”

After acquiring the League One football club, Li Yuan immediately acquired the two professional clubs and the Pepsi Center Arena from the American company Aisheng Entertainment. The transaction value is $305 million.

In fact, in the original historical line, at the end of the nineties of the last century, the professional clubs of the major leagues in North America, except for the Lakers and the Yankees, were not a good business, and they were often at risk of bankruptcy.

Just like the current Aisheng Entertainment Company, their scalps have long been numb by losses. Therefore, a few years later, it was sold to the new owner for $400 million, which was considered a timely stop-loss clearance.

Of course, no one expected that there would be a new media called the Internet in the future. In particular, NBA teams such as the Denver Nuggets have expanded into overseas markets dominated by China. Eventually, they started to make a big profit, and the valuation rose to $1 billion to $2 billion?

There is no doubt that the reason why Li Yuan bought these two professional teams is also for eyeball economy.

Truth be told, as the largest agricultural processing center in the Midwest and an important energy city such as oil, Denver is now in a state of twilight and its economic situation is quite bad.

If the economy is not good, how can the ball market be good? So from a business perspective, many people are not optimistic about this deal.

And yet - agro-processing? Energy?

Shale oil and shale gas have turned the United States from the largest energy importer to the largest energy exporter. In addition, isn't new energy energy?

It can be seen that the current sunset industry will be a sunrise industry in the future. Don't worry about the economic situation of the city of Denver at all, let alone the leftovers

After the signing was completed, accompanied by municipal government officials, Li Yuan attended the press conference together. Unlike the "obscurity" of old Europe, in the United States, due to the popularity of parallel line technology, Li Yuan still has a high reputation, so there are not a few reporters today.

As soon as he sat down, a reporter hurriedly asked: "Lee, I heard that you have become the owner of the NBA and NHL teams?" ”

"That's right! We have just completed the signing ceremony. Hopefully the team can bring the championship. ”

"Congratulations, you should be the first Chinese owner in the NBA and NHL."

"Thank you! In order to buy these two teams, I have sold some of the parallel stocks, just to build the sports and entertainment landscape in mind. ”

In this acquisition, Li Yuan sold $500 million worth of parallel line stocks. In order not to cause market turmoil, and in order to reduce income tax, you need to make the necessary investments, so there is a good reason to invest in professional teams - for your own preference!

All of you can understand this preference. For example, future NBA team owners are all tech upstarts from Silicon Valley who belong to the kind of toys that spend a lot of money.

"Lee, then why did you choose the Denver team? Located on the plateau, it has always been a ball market, so it doesn't have much influence? ”

City officials darkened their faces. But Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Now in Denver, of course, there are my personal business considerations. I am ready to fully cooperate with the new energy industry and the agricultural product processing industry here, and strive to increase the number of jobs by no less than 500 jobs and the investment of no less than 100 million US dollars. ”

The reporters were stunned, and the official was overjoyed: "Li, is that true?" ”

"Hehe, of course it's true. Since I'm the owner of the team, of course I need to think about the fans here. ”

In the future, the branch of Phoenix New Energy will definitely be able to be placed here and promoted to the entire North American continent. In addition, there is a central kitchen such as Yeshan Hot Pot and Yeshan Gathering, which also needs the agricultural product processing plant here. There is also the trade of agricultural products, at least there are a lot of "disgusting chicken feet" here.

In addition to this, since this is an agricultural processing center, there must be a large number of farms nearby. It is also possible to acquire some and form a trade network and logistics network for agricultural products in North America.

"Li, I have a question, did you buy these teams, like the others, after becoming billionaires, you pursue enjoyment and entertainment?"

What the reporter asked was the founders of Netscape. When they become billionaires, they immediately become models of luxury yachts, and what they pursue is the ultimate enjoyment. Even Netscape's business development is a little relaxed.

Li Yuan shook his head with a smile: "I have been working on a new concept - the Internet is new media!" As a new media, of course, we need new media content. The broadcast of sports events is also one of the important contents of new media. ”

The reporters were stunned, it seemed to be ...... Isn't the bull's head right in the horse's mouth?

In this era of broadband, it is impossible to transmit audio live, let alone video. How do you broadcast these sporting events on the Internet?

……

All right!

The journalists are still unable to understand it for the time being. However, Li Yuan's large-scale purchase of the team also caused a sensation across North America. Most people are talking about it - another tech upstart has fallen and started a life of drunken dreams.

However, no one knew that in the next few days, Li Yuan secretly met with Pixar's Jobs and purchased a large number of special equipment and software rights for 3D animation. And reached the intention of strategic cooperation.

At this time, Jobs had not yet returned to Apple, and he was bent on starting a second business at Pixar. And in the latest field of 3D animation production, it has achieved amazing success. He has also created a large number of excellent works of 3D animation.

At present, in this field, without Pixar's technical support, it will certainly not be successful. Therefore, Li Yuan spent money on technology and patents, forming a technology sharing between the two companies.

Of course, the labor cost of programming apes here in the United States is too expensive, and the production cost of a three-dimensional animated feature film is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars. So all of them were transferred to China, not those batches...... Are laid-off female workers?

And the latest project is two three-dimensional cartoons - "McDull Part II", and one "The True Story of Chong Duck".

When it comes to that "Chong Ya Zheng", you can imagine a group of cute ducks and ducks who go around recklessly, their names are Chong Ya, and they are also Chong Ya when they do things——!

Anyway, the current Li Yuan has enough trial and error costs. It's totally okay to give it a try, this kind of interesting project that I didn't have in my life.

Having said that, Li Yuan did not deceive. In order to improve the new media of the Internet, he is constantly expanding his territory in the two major industries of sports and entertainment......

……

Back to Hong Kong.

With the latest news coming from overseas, Li Yuan continues to buy overseas teams and clubs, and the people of Hong Kong are completely confused.

However, in the past few months, the economic situation in Hong Kong has slowly become tense. The collapse of the surrounding countries and regions has finally affected the financial center.

Let's go back to Peregrine first.

In the original historical line, the Peregrine incident had a great impact, resulting in huge losses for a large number of Hong Kong investors, and even many bankruptcies. In the end, it hit Hong Kong's economy hard, making the financial crisis even worse.

The key is...... Procedural justice!

The new Hong Kong government is rigid in doing things, for fear of making a mistake. Moreover, Hong Kong law did not give a buffer time for the restructuring of troubled companies, and Peregrine's creditors lost the opportunity to recover their losses.

On the surface, declaring an insolvent enterprise bankrupt can certainly maintain market order, but this kind of quick death method is indeed unfair to debtors.

In the end, it's those people who are too rigid in doing things.

But fortunately, now there is Li Yuan who has extended a helping hand. Due to the rapid capital injection of Han Palace Investment, at least Peregrine was not completely liquidated, and soon resumed normal operations.

Of course, now the boss has been replaced by Li Yuan. It can be regarded as a relief for Hong Kong's economy.

But in August 98, Soros and other predators finally made a move, and international travel funds began to sell Hong Kong dollars on a large scale, with an amount of more than 20 billion.

At that time, the Hong Kong government's foreign exchange reserves were US$92.8 billion. No one knows whether these foreign exchange reserves will be able to defeat the Wall Street giants, which are secretly backed by the US government. As a result, under the direction of the HKMA, all HK$20 billion sold by international travel funds was recovered. At that time, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar was stable at 1:7.75.

First of all, start with the stock market and kick off the tragic curtain...... In the eight hours from the opening to the close, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index plummeted 1,438.31 points, a daily decline of 13.7%, to close at 9,059.89 points.

When there were 28 suicides by throwing themselves into the sea, 6 people jumping off buildings with their wives and children, and 3 people with their families committing suicide with charcoal...... The whole of Hong Kong is in mourning.

And in October, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority received a report that more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars were sold in the New York foreign exchange market. The HKMA immediately issued two orders: first, to buy all the Hong Kong dollars sold by the floating capital, and the HKMA will eat as much as they sell; Second, raise the market interest rate of the Hong Kong dollar and tighten the lending of major banks in Hong Kong.

The HKMA's idea is simple: to increase the cost of speculation by raising interest rates, and to attract other users to buy Hong Kong dollars for profit with high returns. But they didn't know that such a decent and rigid operation was exactly what Soros wanted to see......
