Chapter 149 How About Buying a Football Team?

After getting out of the hotel and sending Susu to the car, Yang Cheng drove the Lamborghini Bull to Georgina's Equestrian Club on Long Island, where he asked Allen to meet.

It just so happened that Georgina had just parked the car. She was wearing an irregular black and white stitching dress, her long hair was casually draped behind her shoulders, the tips of her hair fluttered in the air in the breeze, she took off her sunglasses and stood beside Yang Cheng's car, waving and laughing, " Why did you come to my place so early in the morning?"

Yang Cheng got out of the car and closed the scissor door smoothly, hugged Georgina's slender waist, and her big mouth was printed on the tender red lips painted with lip glaze, "I have an appointment with a friend, can you arrange a box for me?"

When the two were kissing, Hansen and the others also parked the car and greeted Georgina's bodyguard team. Because of the relationship between the two bosses, these bodyguards also became familiar.

"Use my box, just ask the waiter to serve you whatever you need, do you want me to accompany you?" Georgina offered her box without saying a word.

"No, but you can sit together if you have nothing to do. It's Alan. You know him, right?" Yang Cheng was not sure whether Georgina knew Alan.

Georgina nodded knowingly, and smiled lightly, "I know he is your best brother, but I haven't seen him before. I'll feed the horses first, so I have time to sit."

"Alright, go get busy and have lunch together." Horses are Georgina's career, and she will work tirelessly every day to feed the horses, bathe them, and clean the stables, as long as she is in New York, rain or shine.

"Okay, then I'll go first, and you can take your friends up." Georgina kissed Yang Cheng goodbye, pointed to the knight XV who came behind Yang Cheng like a beast, and said with a smile.

Allen drove the car to the empty space, one car occupied 2 parking spaces, opened the door and jumped out of the car, and shouted at Yang Cheng from a long distance, "Jason, why did you choose this place to meet? An ordinary Marco can't carry me."

Yang Cheng was amused by Alan's self-mockery, "You are self-aware, don't worry, I won't give you a chance to harm the horse, go, go up."

Following Yang Cheng's footsteps, Allen looked left and right. It wasn't the first time he came to the racecourse, but he felt that everything was novel. The main reason was that the interior decoration of Georgina's racecourse was different from ordinary racecourses. It was very delicate, creating a low-key Luxurious and connotative atmosphere.

Xu just said hello to Georgina, and Yang Cheng is also an old acquaintance here, the waiter didn't talk nonsense, and directly took the two of them upstairs to Georgina's box with the best view. The area is not big, about 80 square meters , the floor is covered with a thick Hermès carpet, and a set of ice blue Stressless leather sofa set is placed in the center, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, with a panoramic view of the racecourse and forest, with a wide view.

The sofa made of Bao Roman cowhide is soft and delicate to the touch. Not only does it not stick to the body in summer, but it is also very breathable. Yang Cheng is half lying on the sofa, and the waiter brings snacks and drinks, and puts them on the coffee table one by one. I took a $100 bill as a thank you for his service.

After dismissing the waiter, Yang Cheng picked up a glass of juice, took a sip through a straw and asked, "Well, why are you asking me out?"

Allen held a plate of potato chips, stuffed his mouth and said, "Hey, do you know Manchester United?"

Holding the juice glass in one hand, Yang Cheng shrugged, "Of course, what's wrong with the most successful sports club in the past 2 or 30 years?"

"Are you interested in raising a club for fun?" Allen's big fat face came over and bewitched.

"Heh, if you give me 5 billion dollars in cash, I'm interested." Yang Cheng refused teasingly. He could guess Alan's mind with his eyes closed. He didn't know what he was doing, but he suddenly fell in love with football. Then, as soon as someone encouraged him, he drew his attention to himself.

"Eon, Jason, you are super rich, backed by a top family, don't you have a few teams in hand, are you embarrassed to go out?" Allen pulled his fat face first, rolled his eyes, and seduced in a different way.

Yang Cheng sneered,

Reaching out his hand to grab a handful of potato chips from the plate in Allen's arms and throwing them into his mouth, Gaz Gaz chewed vaguely, "Excuse me, who the hell dares to despise me because I don't raise a team?"

Allen scratched his head anxiously, pondered for a while and changed his routine again, "You can't do this, New Era Media still has a lot of cash in the four-dimensional space, it's too wasteful not to invest it, you have to plan your investment portfolio reasonably, sports clubs are A very high-quality hedge asset.”

"fuckoff, I have planned all that money, every penny has its use, and I don't have spare money to play clubs." Yang Cheng just refused to let go. The status symbol of the rich, reasonable investment and other reasons are all nonsense, Alan It was definitely not because of these superficially legitimate reasons that Yang Cheng was found.

"Shit, Jason, you can't look at my brother ashamed, can you?" Allen looked pitifully, looking at Yang Cheng for help like a pug, and he didn't bother to eat potato chips.

"Fuck off, don't put on such a disgusting expression, will you be ashamed if you don't buy the club?" Yang Cheng smiled angrily and raised his foot, as if to kick Alan's fat face.

He was so frightened that the fat man was able to hide quickly, and ran to the other side of the sofa, pointing at Yang Cheng angrily and explaining, "I also made a slip of the tongue after drinking. I attended a reception two days ago and met a bastard. I showed off that they have Manchester United, and asked me what I have? When I get excited, Manchester United is a fart. I want to buy the top giants of the five major leagues at any time, and then he refuses to accept it and wants to bet me. I am representing you outside. Face, can you lose face? This bet must be accepted."

Yang Cheng felt his temples throbbing, and asked nervously, "What bet did you make?"

"Just~ that is, within one month, we must acquire a team that is more than a quasi-rich club. If the acquisition succeeds, we win. He will compensate us for a Manchester United player. If the acquisition fails, he wins. We will pay the transfer fee to help Manchester United introduce a team." A player." Allen hesitated for a long time, and finally figured out the content of the bet, and the more and more voices represented how guilty he was.

"Fuck, fat man, I'm going to chop you up and feed it to the dog." Yang Cheng stood up and wanted to chase Alan.

Who knew that Georgina just opened the door and came in, and Yang Cheng who rushed two steps almost knocked Georgina over.

Georgina, who was startled and screamed, patted her chest in shock and stared at Yang Cheng angrily, "What are you doing? You scared me."

"Ask this fat man yourself." Yang Cheng was blocked by Georgina, and tried to stretch her legs to kick Allen.

"Hello, Alan, I'm Georgina, what happened?" Georgina greeted Alan with a wry smile.

Allen moved his big butt, squeezed into the bar with great effort, and shouted at Georgina panting, "Hey, Georgina, you are so beautiful, you have to stop Jason."

After a pause, he poured saliva into his stomach and told Georgina about the bet.

"Okay honey, sit down first, Alan, you come and sit too." After listening to Alan's narration dumbfounded, Georgina played the role of a royal sister, and melted the "hostility" in Yang Cheng's heart with her maternal brilliance .

"Jason, I think it's good for New Era Media to take the opportunity to buy a team." Georgina held Yang Cheng's hand, gave Allen a reassuring wink, and said seriously.

Yang Cheng was still willing to listen to Georgina's suggestion, frowning and asked, "Do you want to use the platform of the team to enter the Toutiao app into the European market?"

"That's right, you and I both know that the Toutiao app will eventually compete for Europa League. Football is the world's largest sport. The continuous exposure of each season spans two years and up to 8 months, and the saved publicity costs are enough for us to support. There’s only one team.” Georgina is a hero in the women’s middle school and loves sports very much. Although she doesn’t know how to play football, she often pays attention to it, especially related to the football economy.

From a commercial point of view, buying a team is more cost-effective than purely spending money on publicity, and owning a wealthy team will greatly enhance the owner's reputation and social status.

Don’t you see that the Glazer family, which borrowed money to buy Manchester United, has become a “big family” in the United States and is known all over the world by relying on Manchester United’s family that has never entered the mainstream and has assets of only a few hundred million;

And that Russian oligarch Abramovich, if he hadn't bought Chelsea back then and spread his fame to the world, he might have been ransacked by the Communist Party and sent to the frontier.

Yang Cheng's brows still did not loosen, "But we don't even cover the US market now, how can we talk about entering Europe?"

"It will happen sooner or later. Instead of thinking about it at that time, it is better to start in advance. Anyway, with the current economic situation, the team will not depreciate there."

I have to say that Georgina is definitely the kind of woman behind a man. She has a good family background, excellent self-cultivation, good looks, and a beautiful figure. Most importantly, she has a sharp and intelligent brain that can help men in career. Help, and there is a heart of Yujie. When a man is exposed to wind and rain outside, it is a pity that he can send care and provide a warm haven at the first time. . .

Thinking carefully about Georgina's analysis, he raised his head for a long time, gave Allen a hard look, then turned his head and said softly, "I'll go back and think about it carefully, after all, it takes a lot of money to acquire a wealthy family. It will affect my future plans."

Yang Cheng also knows that investing in sports is very profitable now. A few years later, Dayao's home team, the Houston Rockets, was sold at a price of 2.2 billion US dollars, directly setting a new NBA record. When he saw the news, he was shocked. At the same time, Tianren also complained for Dayao, at least half of the 2.2 billion US dollars was contributed by him.

If you want to buy a football club now, you don’t have to think about buying a giant like Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​etc., and don’t even dream about it. First, the price is too high, like Manchester United’s latest valuation is close to 3 billion pounds; Barcelona is also a membership system, and it is impossible to be acquired and controlled by a private party.

From this point of view, there are not many targets for him to attack, and the new seasons of European countries have already started. After the summer transfer period, there is less room for maneuvering. He does not want to acquire a fake giant. Qualifying for the competition? Even the Europa League is fine, but such a team can complete the acquisition within a day or two. Do you really think that Abramovich won Chelsea when he signed a 140 million pound note in a helicopter? It's not that easy.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is inappropriate. Of course, raising a team is a good thing, and he doesn't hate football, but he can't act too hastily.

At this moment, Georgina's voice on the phone rang in my ears, "Dad, last time I heard you, the owner of Liverpool, the owner of Fenway Sports intends to sell the club?"
