Chapter 449 Global layout, re-creating Mr. Golden Ball!
Assis did not join Shen Hao's game.
Instead, he leaned next to Shen Hao and said something excitedly.
Shen Hao smiled and nodded. Assis drank a few glasses of wine and then left. After leaving the private room, Assis wandered around the casino twice before going home.
Ronaldo asked tentatively: "Is he really going to leave?"
Shen Hao didn't hide anything.
"Yeah, go earn a super contract, do you want it? At the age of 33, you can earn more in the next three years if you leave Leeds United."
Ronaldo was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and shook his head.
"The boss is really confident. I don't want to bother anymore. One day Leeds United won't want me anymore. If I still want to play, I will go back to Brazil. If I don't want to play, I will retire."
Shen Hao discarded the hand, raised his glass and looked at Ronaldo and said, "I don't believe you don't want to make more money."
Ronaldo nodded and said: "Who would mind having too much money? It's just that as I get older, it will become increasingly difficult to make money by playing football. In the past two years, I have been learning about other investments, and Mr. Tang has given me a lot of valuable advice. , I haven’t thanked him yet.”
After speaking, Ronaldo smiled and nodded at Tang Jinyu.
Tang Jinyu didn't take it to heart.
Ronaldo's capital is not small, but he advocates diversified investment, so it is not too much.
He doesn't do business, he just gives some directional suggestions, so you don't need to take it seriously.
Ronaldo then said to Shen Hao: "Boss, I heard that you also have shares in Portimao, is it true?"
At the beginning of a new round, Shen Hao looked at his cards and asked instead of answering: "Everyone knows something, so there is no need to ask me, right? You obviously have something to say to me tonight, what is it?"
He originally thought that Ronaldo had heard some rumors and wanted to follow in Ronaldinho's footsteps to earn some oil dollars.
But he couldn't bear to say it, so Shen Hao gave him a step up before.
But Ronaldo denied it.
Ronaldo put away his smile and said seriously: "I want to cooperate with the boss to buy the club together."
Shen Hao was not surprised when he heard this.
In recent years, there have been many investors who want to cooperate with him to continue to acquire clubs.
There are people lining up to come to the door in China, and there are also people in the UK. Even when they go to North America, there is capital willing to cooperate with Shen Hao to operate and invest in a new team in the American Major League.
But Shen Hao didn't agree.
He is more judgmental about people when it comes to cooperation.
The basis for cooperation is that he feels trustworthy and reliable.
He is not very interested in purely commercial cooperation.
Because purely commercial cooperation is about money.
Once the club is well run, the cooperating shareholders can sell their shares at any time, and their partners will be replaced midway.
Then the situation will become complicated.
Like his cooperation with Xiao Ruoan, this foundation is relatively solid.
Portimao is now thriving, and in the summer they signed a striker named Lewandowski from Poland on his advice.
The center who has the same 187 potential as Suarez, is much lower than Suarez in terms of ability, so he was placed in Portimao for upgrading.
If it weren't for his trust in Xiao Ruoan, how could Shen Hao put a center worth more than 3000 million pounds in Portimão as long as he was kicked out?
In the same way, those who can have a basis for cooperation with him must first have mid- to long-term mutual trust.
"There are so many industries that can be invested in in the world, why do you have to stay in the football circle? Feelings?"
Ronaldo said with a smile: "I am a layman in other industries. As for football, I know a little bit. At least I am not so easy to be deceived and fooled, and it is only a small investment. I want to buy a small club in Spain or Brazil. If the boss is interested, we can cooperate."
Shen Hao pushed the chips in front of him and waited for others to follow or fold.
He looked thoughtful, and said after a moment: "If you want to open a club in Brazil, I can become a shareholder. You are bigger than me, and I will not participate in the management. But can you guarantee that people in Brazil will not give me a book to read?" A bad debt that you don’t understand?”
Regarding the environment in South America... Shen Hao still has reservations.
Ronaldo looked happy and said: "I will not participate in management, but I am just like you. If you give me a bad book that I can't understand, I will never accept it. Naturally, there will be trustworthy people to keep an eye on it. The boss is willing When you buy a share, you trust me, and of course I will not betray this trust. If one day you are dissatisfied, I will take care of it."
Shen Hao raised his eyebrows.
He finally saw it.
Although Ronaldo is still a star, he is focused on his career off the court.
If you want to build your own business system, whether it is to resist risks or capital appreciation.
After all, he has taken a more far-sighted step than most stars.
Like Ronaldinho, he will just sit back and get nothing.
I don't have the intention, and my agent doesn't have the professional ability.
Shen Hao could see it, but couldn't remind him.
It may be misleading.
Because when you tell him something that the other party doesn't understand, there is a high probability that the other party will think that you are up to no good.
Shen Hao couldn't afford to worry so much.
Being able to pave a comfortable path for players to make them willing to do so is already the most benevolent thing.
No matter how much, do you want to be a player's home?
But since Ronaldo has this awareness, Shen Hao doesn't resist.
"I can invest in the company in the name of Luyin Kuangbiao. When will we start cooperation? It depends on your progress. Anyway, it is a small investment, so funds are not a problem."
Shen Hao made the final decision.
Ronaldo is satisfied.
As for his previous talk about setting up a club in Spain, Shen Hao didn't respond at all, which was also a statement.
Regardless of whether he was not optimistic or had other plans, Ronaldo understood Shen Hao's attitude anyway.
After all, the football industry is a risky investment. It is wishful thinking to say how much returns can be earned from it.
Investment must pay attention to costs.
The cost of building a team in the five major European leagues will not be low.
Even if you are acquiring a low-level team, you are not afraid of failure.
Just afraid of success.
Once you reach the top league, you will be in an embarrassing situation.
Facing the big cake, if you want to get a piece of the pie, you not only need to invest more energy, but also invest more financial resources.
This industry has nothing to do with making a profit.
After the evening card game, Ronaldo went home to accompany his wife and children, and the four of them, Shen Hao, Tang Jinyu, Chen Hao, and Chris Jones, went for a late-night snack.
They had just sat down at a hot pot restaurant in Modern City when Chris Jones went to get a drink.
Tang Jinyu said to Shen Hao: "I learned something about Manchester City. Their ambitions seem very big. The capital behind them wants to buy different clubs around the world and build a huge football empire."
Chen Hao laughed when he heard this: "No matter how rich they are, they can't buy Real Madrid and Barcelona."
Shen Hao shook his head and said: "People don't care about drinking. Investing in football is nothing more than three points, feelings, interests, and reputation. Like Blackburn Rovers in the past, it was feelings, the originator of Jinyuan football, big investment, big output, and the team won the championship. The feelings are satisfied, and then the rapids retreat, and they are short-lived.
The Glazer family invested in Manchester United for profit, the two owners of Liverpool who are currently in a lawsuit also did it for profit, and Roman Abramovich of Chelsea mostly did it for reputation. Here, football is the springboard to enter the upper class, Manchester City? They also want reputation and influence, so buying teams around the world is nothing more than making their name louder, and it will not be of much help to Manchester City's development and construction in English football. "
Tang Jinyu said thoughtfully: "The Green Turbulence now wholly owns Leeds United and has shares in Portimão. If Brother Hao cooperates with Ronaldo with the Green Turbulence, we will have three teams in the world. If we will The club invested by Xiao Ruoan in Hangzhou has also been incorporated into the territory. The scale of our group is really not small, it can be called a global layout. Brother Hao would agree to Ronaldo, which surprises me. Do you also have this intention?"
After a moment of silence, Shen Hao sighed: "That's right. Now that our life is better, we are tossing around in the football circle, not to mention diversifying investments. In the final analysis, it is all for the main business, Leeds United.
One trend in the development of European football in recent years is the accelerated concentration of elites.
Real Madrid's poaching of Higuain, Gago and Marcelo was unimaginable before.
In one transfer period, three high-quality South American rookies were introduced.
Talent is nothing more than cultivating one's own talents or stealing them from others.
Players are the core assets of the club and this will never change.
So no matter how we develop, we must stick to this core point.
In Europe we have satellite clubs, but what about outside Europe?
If the cooperation with Ronaldo can go smoothly, then we will have a sentinel point in South America, which can not only be one step ahead to recruit young talents, but also have an extra step in commercial promotion. "
Tang Jinyu lit cigarettes for the three of them, and gave one to Chris Jones who came back with drinks.
He said solemnly: "The establishment of a business map is always complicated. Only when some seemingly inconspicuous bits and pieces are accumulated can they become the foundation for long-term development. I support Brother Hao on this point. If this is the case, I suggest taking the initiative to find high-quality companies." Partners, expand our business in Asia, North America, and even Africa, business marketing and talent pool, both.
In addition, I think some supporting marketing and promotion methods should be followed up starting next year. The establishment of football schools in more economically developed areas outside Europe is also a necessary means to open up the market. "
Shen Hao nodded frequently, agreeing with Tang Jinyu's thoughts on strategic planning.
Although football schools are a bit suspected of cheating money, after all, the success rate in football is horribly low.
Moreover, if the school is moved to other places, it will be even more difficult to guarantee the quality of teaching.
Seek truth from facts.
Of the 20 clubs in the Premier League, except for Leeds United’s youth academy, which is trying to fool the FA’s policies, the other 19 clubs, not to mention one year, three-year small cycle, five-year large cycle, and ten-year cycle, how many have they adopted? Children in the club's radiation area play football?
How many people were kicked out?
People will only see those players who have become stars, but where are the players of the same age group who have not played?
No one can take full advantage of the failed products of competitive sports.
The four of them were eating hot pot and drinking wine. Chen Hao suddenly asked: "Brother Hao, Assis is here to see you. Has Manchester City contacted him?"
Shen Hao smiled when he heard this.
"Manchester City was thinking about Ronaldinho day and night, but they were afraid of offending me, so they changed their approach. Instead of contacting Assis directly, they found an intermediary to convey the message in a subtle way. They just wanted to start with Assis. Let’s find out here whether Ronaldinho has a chance to transfer and leave.
If I had to encourage Assis to cooperate with them from the beginning, I might really not do this business. "
After hearing this, Chen Hao said sharply: "Haha, no matter what method Manchester City uses, as long as they can get in touch with Assis, there is no need for them to fan the flames. Look at Assis's face, he wants to tie up Ronaldinho." Get up and take him to Manchester overnight.”
"Hahaha, this is your fault. Why are you slapping me in the face? Assis is pretty good. At least he is not like Anelka's brother's agent who encourages his brother to transfer every now and then. They want to make a lot of money. , it definitely requires player transfers, but according to me, the pattern is still too small. If Assis can restrain Ronaldinho's private life, how many more years will Ronaldinho's peak and glory last? In 2016, the commission from the commercial endorsement contract alone was enough for him. Alas, in the final analysis, this kind of thing cannot be said."
Shen Hao picked up his wine glass melancholy, and the four of them clinked a glass.
...
Manchester City finally got a response from Leeds United.
Leeds United did not agree to their offer and did not reject it.
Instead, they were given a deadline: Talk after Christmas.
This made Manchester City's top brass extremely excited.
Don’t be afraid of talking later, just be afraid of not having to talk!
It seems to the outside world that Ronaldinho, who performed well in the Champions League in midweek, seems to be showing signs of turning around again.
As for why he smiles less.
It’s also easy to understand.
Who else would be happy after being fined 74 pounds one after another?
Before the weekend league arrives, the countdown to the results of the annual Ballon d'Or award has begun.
Fleet Street tried to find out Shen Hao's attitude towards Ronaldinho from the predictions and support for this selection.
"The Ballon d'Or goes to Ronaldinho! He was not the star who scored the most goals last season, but his performance was unique and he also won the championship. In other words, you name it casually, who can beat Ronaldinho?" Is Dinho more deserving of the award? Ronaldo? Messi? Even if Ronaldo is here, I will not change my mind. Of course, Ronaldo's performance is also outstanding, and he deserves to be among the top three of the Ballon d'Or."
Shen Hao's words plunged Fleet Street into chaos.
The punishment is the real punishment.
What is the relationship between you master and disciple?
Only some football critics analyzed Shen Hao's remarks from a calm thinking perspective.
"It is in the interest of Leeds United that Ronaldinho wins the Ballon d'Or."
This is enough.
Shen Hao has no reason not to support Ronaldinho.
Even if it is just for show to the Leeds United players, as long as Ronaldinho wins the award, it will be of long-term benefit to the development of the Leeds United club.
Can win the Ballon d'Or at Leeds United!
There was Ronaldo before him and Ronaldinho behind him.
Will there be one in the future?
Anyway, there is now.
