In order to avoid being harassed by various clubs, Lin Quan chose to leave Europe and go to North America for a vacation.

Here, he went to inspect several companies in which he invested, listened to the reports of professional managers, and took out some funds to invest in several companies that were just listed last year.

He doesn't have to keep an eye on these things at any time, and there are professionals to help him deal with them.

However, Lin Quan did not plan to sell these shares in a short period of time, and the stock prices of these companies he invested in would continue to rise until the bubble of Internet companies burst.

In addition to Internet companies, he also bought a portion of Elon Musk's Tesla stock.

At this time, Tesla's stock price was not expensive, and the average was just over $100.

But Lin Quan knows that when Tesla's Gigafactory in Shanghai is completed and put into production, their stock price will soar to more than $2,300, and their market value will even surpass Apple's for a time.

Of course, this is also a bubble, so it is necessary to sell accurately when Tesla's stock price reaches its peak, and one more second will make a lot less money.

Lin Quan doesn't quite remember what Tesla's stock price was at its highest point, so he set a take profit point of $2,000.

When Tesla's stock price reaches this number, he asks the institution that holds his shares to help him sell it in batches.

The financial institutions on Wall Street are very advanced and the services are very attentive, and these things are not troublesome to deal with.

Of course, the annual management fee is also a lot of money.

After dealing with the investment, Lin Quan went to meet a few old friends.

Major League Soccer schedules are different from those of the big five leagues, with their games starting early, starting in March and ending in November.

In this way, when the five major leagues are entering the offseason one after another, the North American side is still playing, which can attract many fans to watch.

In recent years, MLS teams have successively brought in many top stars from Europe, although most of them are older and have withdrawn from the five major leagues to make money.

But for the MLS, they are completely vegetarian, they are not relegated, the team's survival pressure is not great, except for some ambitious teams aiming to win the championship, other teams think most about how to make money.

And using the influence of these big-name stars to attract fans to buy their jerseys and tickets to watch the game live is obviously a way for the owners of these clubs to make money.

This path has been developed very well by them, and there are many top stars in Europe who have played in the MLS.

Like the football king Pele, the godfather of La Masia, Cruyff, the German football emperor Beckenbauer, as well as Gerd Muller, David Beckham, and Nesta have all played here.

Even now, there are many top stars in the MLS, such as Lin Quan's national teammate Villa, club teammate Frank Lampard, Liverpool's legendary captain Steven Gerrard, God's son Kaka, Sleeping Pipillo and others, all of whom are currently playing in the MLS.

The salary of the American Vocational League is good, and the United States is a developed country, and the culture and living habits are not too different from those in Europe.

It's easier to work and live here than to pan for gold elsewhere.

The club that Lin Quan visited was located in New York City, New York City FC.

Here are three of his old friends – Villa, Frank Lampard and Andrea Pirlo.

With the exception of Frank Lampard, the remaining two came here on Lin Quan's advice.

Among them, Villa is also the first player in the history of New York City FC.

That's right, it's a club that's been around for less than a year!

On May 25 last year, with the cooperation of Manchester City owner Mansour and the New York Yankees, a new football club was established and successfully joined the Major League Soccer.

And in order to give the new team a boost, they are hiring aggressively in the transfer market.

The 33-year-old Huluwa, as a member of the World Cup winners that year, joined as the first player of New York City FC, which will undoubtedly greatly increase their influence and help them become popular.

After tasting the sweetness, they bought Frank Lampard, but Lampard did not want to leave Europe for the time being, so he went on loan to Mansour's other team, Manchester City, for a year.

Pirlo left Juventus for New York City this summer, giving them a boost.

This season, they're rolling up their sleeves and getting ready for a big fight.

"Yes, 18 goals in one season, the sword is not old!"

After seeing Villa, Lin Quan was surprised by the other party's state.

Villa's stats for the team have been excellent, scoring 18 goals in 30 appearances in just one year at MLS.

For a 33-year-old veteran, this is a very dazzling statistic.

"Hehe, the level here is a little lower than that of La Liga, and the defensive intensity is not high, so it may be easier for a point-grabbing striker like me!"

Villa is very humble and not complacent about his achievements.

Compared with the five major leagues, the level of the MLS is still far behind, and his achievements are not outstanding in the five major leagues.

"In that case, then I think you can play here for a few more years, anyway, to earn a pension, and earn a little more."

Lin Quan didn't ask what Villa's annual salary was, thinking that it should not be low, it is estimated to be a little higher than his salary when he was at Atletico Madrid.

For a 33-year-old veteran, it is already very good to be able to get this salary, and naturally it is a year more than that.

"Well, I plan to do the same, but I also plan to learn a little more coaching skills, prepare to take a coaching certificate, and retire in the future to go to Sporting Gijón to lead the youth training, of course, the premise is that they want me to be a half-guy."

Villa quipped.

He is a Sporting Gijón academy player who has been with him for 11 years.

Villa has always been grateful to Athletic Gijón for discovering his football talent from school and bringing himself to the football scene, and wants to do something for his old club after he retires.

"Yes, do a good job, maybe we will have a chance to meet in the arena in the future."

Lin Quan's eyes lit up, and he raised his hands in favor of Billia's decision.

Spanish football is more technical and tactical, and it should be more appropriate for their players to become coaches after retirement, especially top players like Villa.

Most of the current well-known coaches in football are professional players, even Mourinho, who has played football before, but his strength is not outstanding, and his results are not outstanding.

The two were chatting when Frank Lampard arrived.

So Lin Quan exchanged a few more words with Lampard.

The pair were team-mates for a year last season, and although Lampard didn't get a lot of time on the pitch, his performance when he was on the pitch was impressive, especially the long-range shooting ability, which even Lin Quan praised.

Lampard, on his side, was impressed by Lin Quan's ability after being a teammate for a year.

He's been playing for so many years, and he's never seen a few people reach this level.

When he was at Chelsea, he met Manchester City led by Lin Quan, and it felt like encountering a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and he couldn't gnaw at all.

At that time, he, like many Chelsea players, hated Lin Quan.

But when he went on loan at Manchester City and became teammates with Lin Quan, Lampard could only say one thing - it was really fragrant.

With such strong teammates, it seems that victory has become much easier.

Last season, he won his second Champions League trophy, and it was in the twilight of his career.

This left Frank Lampard feeling that if Chelsea had poached Lin Quan a few years earlier, how could their title campaign be so difficult?

After catching up with Frank Lampard and Villa, Lin Quan had planned to leave.

The two told him that he had a game to play tomorrow and asked him if he wanted to stay and watch the game.

It's all here, and Lin Quan naturally wants to see with his own eyes what the rumored level of the American Professional League is.

So he gladly accepted the invitation of the two.

I have to say that New York City is indeed very similar to Manchester City.

Their jerseys are carved out of the same mold as Manchester City's jerseys, and the colors are exactly the same, and if you don't look closely, you think this is Manchester City!

Considering that both clubs are owned by Mansour, it seems understandable that there is a shirt of this style.

I heard Villa say that there is also a Melbourne City club in the Australian Super League, which is also owned by the City Group, I wonder if the color of their jersey is also like this?

Lin Quan originally wanted to enjoy this game in a low-key manner, but his strength didn't allow it!

It didn't take long for him to sit in the stands and he was recognized by the fans around him.

After recognizing him, nearby fans rushed to take photos with him, shake hands and even ask for autographs.

As a result, this movement in the stands was naturally quickly captured by the cameras at the scene.

When the camera's lens was aimed at Lin Quan, there were bursts of exclamations from the scene.

"It's Lin!"

"Even buy Ka, it's really him!"

"Lin? Where is he? ”

Compared with the football game that has not yet started, the attention of the fans is completely attracted by Lin Quan.

This is the first person in football today, compared to him, all the players of the two teams on the field are added together, and he is not as influential as him.

The fact that he was able to come to New York City to watch the game was a surprise for the fans of New York City.

So, they all gave a standing ovation, and even called Lin Quan's name in unison.

Lin Quan had to stand up and wave to the fans in response to such a warm welcome.

Perhaps because of the arrival of old friends, Villa was very active in this game.

Shortly after the opening, he scored a goal from a pass from a team-mate.

After an equaliser in the second half, Villa stepped up again and scored again to help New York City defend their home ground with a 2-1 victory.

When Villa scored, Lin Quan, like an ordinary fan, also joined the cheering army, shouting Villa's name and giving him warm applause.

And the photographer at the scene also captured this footage with dignity, and the execution was publicly executed on the big screen above the stadium.

Seeing Lin Quan cheering for himself hard, Villa couldn't help but smile, and also gave a thumbs up in the direction where Lin Quan was, as if he was responding in the air.

After leaving New York City, Lin Quan went to Florida.

Here he met another famous figure in football - David Beckham.

"Lin, I'm going to set up a football club and join the MLS, are you interested in joining?"

Beckham had already invited Lin Quan as early as last year, but at that time, the matter of the team quota and location had not been fully resolved, so the two sides did not talk about any results.

Now, these problems have been solved, so Beckham has once again extended an invitation to Lin Quan.

For Beckham's invitation, Lin Quan was a little moved.

In fact, it is not very profitable to run a club, at least compared with the return rate of investing in Internet companies.

But David Beckham's club has done something earth-shattering in the future – they've brought in Messi!

That's right, the club that Beckham is about to set up is called Miami International.

If he invests in Miami International now and becomes the owner of this club, then Messi will join the team in the future and become his own employee, which is equivalent to working for himself.

This scene is exciting just thinking about it!

"Mr. Beckham, what do you need me to do?"

As far as Lin Quan knows, Beckham himself is not short of money, and he has also found a partner.

And it doesn't cost much to set up a MLS club, and in New York City last year, for example, City Group only spent $100 million to get it done.

According to New York City's standards, Miami International's side will only be more than $100 million, which will not be much.

With the assets of Beckham and the partners he found, there should be no problem with money, and it will not find his head.

So Lin Quan was very curious, why did the other party invite him to join so persistently?

"Hehe, don't you think that having your signboard can save us a lot of advertising costs?"

Beckham said with a smile, yes, he is interested in Lin Quan's huge influence in football.

The impact of a man who has won two Premier Leagues, two Champions Leagues, one World Cup and one Confederations Cup, one Bundesliga Golden Boot, two Premier League Golden Boots and two European Golden Boots is unparalleled.

Beckham's own fame is high, but his influence is fading after his retirement.

Compared with five years ago, he is no longer as well-known as he was at the beginning.

And this situation will get worse and worse, and people will gradually forget about their old guys who have long since retired, after all, how many fans of the younger generation have seen these old guys play?

But Lin Quan is different, he is still in the growth period, and he still has at least ten years of peak, and in such a long time, his status and influence in football will only get higher and higher.

So invite him to join, so in the next ten years, Miermi International will not have to worry about others not knowing their names.

After all, when it comes to it, everyone will remember: Oh, XXX team, isn't that Lin Quan's team?

As Lin Quan's influence increases, anything bound to Lin Quan can get huge traffic.

Beckham, who has been through this phase before, knows this better than anyone else.

This is also the reason why he insisted on inviting Lin Quan to join.

Beckham's offer is also very good, Lin Quan only needs to take a symbolic $12 million stake in the shares, and he can get a 20% stake in the new team.

Who can refuse such a good thing?

As a result, Lin Quan happily reached an agreement with Beckham and became one of the owners of the new team.
