Chapter 411 Buy Inter Miami and become Messi’s boss!

In order to avoid harassment from various clubs, Lin Quan chose to leave Europe and go to North America for vacation.

Here, he visited several companies he had invested in, listened to reports from professional managers, and spent some of his funds to invest in several companies that had just gone public last year.

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

However, Lin Quan has no plans to sell these shares in the short term. The stock prices of the companies he invested in will continue to rise before the bubble of Internet companies bursts.

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

At this time, Tesla’s stock price was not expensive, averaging just over a hundred dollars.

But Lin Quan knew that when Tesla's super factory in Shanghai was completed and put into production, their stock price would soar to more than 2,300 US dollars, and their market value even surpassed Apple.

Of course, this is also a bubble, so you must sell Tesla accurately when its stock price reaches its peak. If you take it for one second longer, you will make a lot less money.

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

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

Wall Street's financial institutions are very advanced and their services are very considerate. It is not troublesome to deal with these matters.

Of course, the annual management fees are also a lot of money.

After finishing the investment matters, Lin Quan went to meet some old friends.

The schedule of the American Major League is different from that of the five major leagues. Their games start very early, starting in March and ending in November.

In this way, when the five major leagues are entering the offseason, North America is still playing games, which can attract many fans to come and watch.

In recent years, Major League teams have successively introduced many top stars from Europe, although most of them are older and have quit the five major leagues to make money.

But for the Major League Soccer League, they are completely vegetarian. They have not been promoted or relegated, and the team's survival pressure is not great. Except for some ambitious teams aiming to win the championship, the other teams think most about how to do it. money.

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

This road has been developed very well by them. Many top stars in Europe have played in the Major League.

Football king Pele, La Masia godfather Cruyff, German football emperor Beckenbauer, as well as Gerd Muller, 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 Lampard, Liverpool’s legendary captain Gerrard, Son of God Kaká, and Sleeping Piper. Luo and others are currently playing in the Major League.

The salary in MLS is good, and the United States is a developed country, so the culture and living habits are not much different from those in Europe.

It is easier to work and live here than to hunt for gold elsewhere.

The club Lin Quan visited is located in New York - New York City FC.

Here are three of his old friends - Villa, Lampard and Pirlo.

Except for Lampard, the remaining two of these three came here to play on Lin Quan's advice.

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

Yes, this is a club that has been established for less than a year!

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

In order to build momentum for the new team, they recruited aggressively in the transfer market.

The 33-year-old Calabash was a member of the World Cup champions that year. As the first player to join New York City FC, he will undoubtedly greatly increase their influence and help them become famous.

After tasting the sweetness, they bought Lampard, but Lampard didn't want to leave Europe yet, so he loaned him to Mansour's other team, Manchester City, for a year.

This summer, Pirlo left Juventus and joined New York City, further strengthening their strength.

This season, they're rolling up their sleeves and ready to go big.

"Sure, I scored 18 goals in one season, my sword is still young!"

After seeing Villa, Lin Quan was surprised by his state.

Villa's statistics in the team are very good. Just one year after joining the MLS, he scored 18 goals in 30 appearances.

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

"Haha, the level here is a little lower than that in La Liga, and the defensive intensity is not high. For a point-grabbing forward like me, it may be easier!"

Villa is very humble and does not feel 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 this case, I think you can play here for a few more years. Anyway, you are earning a pension. The more you earn, the better."

Lin Quan didn't ask what Villa's annual salary was. He thought it was not low, probably a bit higher than his salary at Atletico Madrid.

For a 33-year-old veteran, this salary is already very good, and naturally he can get one more year.

"Well, that's what I plan to do, but I also plan to learn more coaching skills and prepare to take the coaching certificate. After I retire, I can go to Sporting Gijon to lead the youth training. Of course, the prerequisite is that they want me This half-assed guy."

Villa quipped.

He is a player from Sporting Gijon's youth training and has played here for 11 years.

Villa has always been grateful to Sporting Gijon, who discovered his football talent on campus and brought him to the football field, and wants to do something for his old club after he retires.

"Okay, work hard, maybe we will have a chance to meet on the field in the future."

Lin Quan's eyes lit up and he applauded Bilia's decision.

Spanish football pays more attention to technology and tactics. It should be more suitable for their players to become coaches after they retire, especially top players like Villa.

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

The two were chatting when Lampard came.

So Lin Quan exchanged a few words with Lampard.

The two were teammates for a year last season. Although Lampard didn't play much, when he did, his performance was amazing, especially his long-range shooting ability. Full of praise.

As for Lampard, after being teammates with Lin Quan for a year, he was deeply impressed by Lin Quan's abilities.

He has been playing football for so many years, and he has never seen many people with such strength.

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

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

But when he was loaned to Manchester City and became teammates with Lin Quan, Lampard could only say one thing - it tastes great.

With such strong teammates, victory seems to have become much easier.

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

This made Lampard sigh with emotion. If Chelsea had poached Lin Quan a few years ago, how could their journey to win the championship be so difficult?

After catching up with Lampard and Villa, Lin Quan planned to say goodbye and leave.

The two told him that there was a game to be played tomorrow and asked him if he wanted to stay and watch the game?

Since they are here, Lin Quan naturally wants to see with his own eyes what level the rumored MLS is like.

So he readily accepted their invitation.

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. The colors are exactly the same. If you don't look carefully, you might think they are Manchester City!

Considering that the owners of both clubs are Mansour, it seems understandable that this style of jersey appears.

I heard from Villa that there is also a Melbourne City club in the A-League, which is also owned by City Group. I wonder if the color of their jerseys is the same?

Lin Quan originally wanted to enjoy the game in a low-key manner, but his strength did not allow it!

Not long after he sat in the stands, he was recognized by the fans around him.

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

Therefore, the movement in the stands was naturally quickly captured by the on-site cameras.

When the camera focused on Lin Quan, there were bursts of exclamations from the scene.

"It's Lin!"

"Oh my God, it's really him!"

"Lin? Where is he?"

Compared to the game that had not yet started, the fans' attention was completely attracted by Lin Quan.

This is the number one player in football today. Compared with him, all the players from the two teams on the court together are not as influential as him.

It was a surprise for New York City fans that he could come to New York City to watch the game live.

As a result, they all stood up and applauded, and even called Lin Quan's name in unison.

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

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

Shortly after the start, he received a pass from his teammate and scored a goal.

After the opponent equalized the score in the second half, Villa stood up again and scored again, helping New York City defeat the opponent 2:1 and successfully defended his home court.

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

The photographer at the scene also captured this shot with dignity, and the execution was publicly displayed on the big screen above the stadium.

Seeing Lin Quan cheering him hard, Villa couldn't help but smile and gave a thumbs up in the direction of Lin Quan, as if responding from a distance.

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

Here he met another famous player in football - Beckham.

"Lin, I plan to set up a football club and join the Major League Soccer League. Are you interested in joining?"

Beckham had already invited Lin Quan as early as last year, but at that time the matters concerning the team's quota and location had not yet been fully settled, so the two sides did not reach any conclusion.

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

Lin Quan was a little moved by Beckham's invitation.

In fact, running a club is not very profitable, at least the rate of return is far worse than investing in Internet companies.

But Beckham's club did an earth-shattering thing in the future - they invited Messi!

That's right, the name of the club that Beckham is about to establish is called Miami International.

If I invest in Inter Miami now and become the owner of this club, then when Messi joins the team in the future, he will become his employee, which is equivalent to working for him.

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. Taking New York City as an example last year, City Group only spent $100 million to do it.

According to the standards of New York City, Inter Miami will only have a little more than 100 million US dollars, which will not be much more.

With the assets of Beckham and the partners he found, there shouldn't be any problem with money, and it won't come to his head.

So Lin Quan was very curious, why was the other party so insistent on inviting him to join?

"Haha, don't you think that with your sign, you 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 world number one 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.

Although Beckham's own reputation is also very high, his influence is fading after his retirement.

Compared with five years ago, he is no longer as well-known as he was back then.

And this situation will become more and more serious, and people will gradually forget about these old guys who have retired a long time ago. After all, how many of the younger generation of fans have watched these old guys play?

But Lin Quan is different. He is still in the growth stage and has at least ten more years to reach his peak. In such a long time, his status and influence in football will only get higher and higher.

So by inviting him to join, in the next ten years, Miami International will not have to worry about others not knowing their name.

After all, when it comes to mentioning it, everyone will think: Oh, Team XXX, isn’t that Lin Quan’s team?

As Lin Quan's influence increases, anything bound to Lin Quan will receive huge traffic.

Beckham, who has experienced this stage, knows the truth better than others.

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

The conditions offered by Beckham are also very generous. Lin Quan only needs to invest a symbolic share of one million to two million US dollars to obtain 20% of the equity of 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.
