Vol 2 Chapter 702: So "poor"!

Chapter 702 is so "poor"!

According to Lin Feng's estimates, the acquisition of Tottenham Hotspur will cost about 300 million pounds, or about 430 million U.S. dollars. Together with the construction of a brand new stadium and surrounding facilities, it is conservatively estimated to be around 350 million pounds, or about 502 million U.S. dollars, plus a new modern training field, which is estimated to be 100 million pounds, or about 143 million U.S. dollars. These three inputs add up to approximately US$1.075 billion.

US$1.075 billion is by no means a small sum. There are no more than 30 private individuals in the world who can give out US$1.075 billion in cash at a time. Although Lin Feng has more than US$40 billion in assets, Wei Lie Bill Gates and Warren Buffett After that, the world's third richest, but the cash in his hands was only 140 million U.S. dollars, and the remaining 40 billion U.S. dollars in assets were almost all stocks or real estate. This is the gap. Compared with the long-established super-rich or family, Lin Feng is still far behind in terms of background.

Of course, Lin Feng can seek financing from an investment bank, but that is definitely not what Lin Feng wants, nor is it a long-term thing. Although many people are happy to do so, borrow chicken to lay eggs. For example, the acquisition of the Glazer family of Manchester United by "post generations" is a standard "borrowing chickens to lay eggs", using loans from Morgan Bank to complete the acquisition, turning Manchester United from the wealthiest club to the most indebted club in an instant. And after acquiring 75% of Manchester United’s shares, it was delisted from the London stock market, making it private property and helping it to share debts.

This is definitely the most sophisticated business technique, equivalent to the empty glove white wolf. With Lin Feng's current status and influence, finding loans from major investment banks couldn't be easier. Taking the Tottenham Hotspur club to be acquired in the future as collateral, after acquiring 76.5% of Tottenham Hotspur from "enic International", then forcibly delisting it, making it private property and using it to repay debts Lin Feng can also use this standard method of "borrowing chickens to lay eggs".

However, Lin Feng didn't want to be scolded by all "Tottenham" fans like Glazer of later generations. What Lin Feng needs to build is a dynasty, a super strong team in the new century, so Lin Feng disdains it. Moreover, cooperating with Mourinho must also give him confidence, the confidence to build the strongest team. Otherwise, the proud "Magic Bird" would not join Lin Feng's team just for "sentiment". In the eyes of Westerners, friends are friends and work is work. They must not be confused.

Besides, with Lin Feng's current wealth, playing this "borrow chicken to lay eggs" game will inevitably be cast aside. After a person has reached a certain status, he must be majestic, be "kingly" and upright, instead of using this "three abuses" means.

"Abby, pass me a copy of my personal financial list." Lin Feng called the head of the Abby investment team who helped Lin Feng manage his private assets in Shanghai, Abby Cohen, who has the "Wall Street Myth".

Not long after, an encrypted e-mail was delivered to Lin Feng's mailbox. Clicking on the mailbox, Lin Feng made a detailed assessment of the private property he currently owns, to see from which way he would borrow funds for the acquisition of Tottenham Hotspur.

At present, the private property owned by Lin Feng, stocks account for an absolute share. In the "Second World", Lin Feng owns 35% of the shares and has a market value of US$26.215 billion (market value of US$107). If you want to borrow US$1 billion, you only need to use 1.4% of its shares to mortgage, and you can easily borrow US$1 billion, but This is the flagship company of Lin Feng, and it is also a company that Lin Feng absolutely cannot let go. Although it is only a mortgage of 1.4% of the shares, Lin Feng categorically gave up.

As for its other listed "Starting Point Fast Food Restaurant", the total market value is less than US$400 million. It is too difficult to borrow. What's more, the "starting point fast food restaurant" is also related to Lin Feng's future plans, and it must not be given up. As for the other companies under its umbrella, none of them are listed and are in a booming stage of development. At this time, lending is undoubtedly the most stupid behavior.

It seems that only the 2% stake in "Wal-Mart" held by Lin Feng, with a market value of US$3.85 billion, is the best way to borrow. After all, "Wal-Mart" and Lin Feng's industry are not closely related, and it is impossible for Lin Feng to control "Wal-Mart." After all, even if the Walton family were willing to sell their shares, the US government would veto Lin Feng's acquisition. Therefore, since Lin Feng is currently short of money, the "Wal-Mart" shares should be sold the most.

However, at present, Huang Shuqi has just gone to the "Wal-Mart" headquarters as a director after the year, and is implementing Lin Feng's "stealing teacher" plan, learning "Wal-Mart" advanced logistics system and supply chain management procedures, if this time Lin Feng sold "Wal-Mart" "Share, Huang Shuqi can only leave. This is not what Lin Feng wanted. What's more, according to the analysis of the financial status of "Wal-Mart" last year, this year's "Wal-Mart" earnings will be around 0.43 yuan per share. Lin Feng holds 70 million shares, and the annual dividend is US$30.1 million. According to Abby Cohen's recommendation, after purchasing "Wal-Mart", don't sell it. Just wait for dividends, not to mention owning these 2% shares, which can play a big role in many critical moments.

After scratching his head with a headache, and looking at his financial list carefully, Lin Feng sighed helplessly-so "poor"!

Isn’t it? I’m the third richest in the world, with only 140 million U.S. dollars in available funds. No money to buy a Tottenham Hotspur. The investment in related hardware facilities alone will cost 1.075 billion U.S. dollars, and this does not count as the cost of purchasing players. If you want to buy players, you need to invest at least US$200-300 million in cash (guarantee investment in the transfer market for the next five years). In this way, Lin Feng needs at least US$1.3-1.4 billion in cash. After deducting the 140 million U.S. dollars in his hand, there is still a gap of 1.2 billion U.S. dollars.

The 1.2 billion U.S. dollars exchanged for stocks would not matter to Lin Feng, but it was really a headache for Lin Feng to exchange for cash.

After hesitating for a long time, if there is really no better way, Lin Feng can only decide to borrow funds through “Wal-Mart” shares. Of course, after Abby Cohen’s recommendation, Lin Feng will prepare to borrow 1.2 billion US dollars of funds through the loan mortgage situation, so as to ensure that Lin Feng continues to hold 2% of the "Wal-Mart" shares, but also to ensure that Lin Feng obtains sufficient funds. funds. It's just a debt of $1.2 billion and a little interest. But with Lin Feng's wealth, this debt is really nothing.

Just then, a phone call came. Lin Feng took a look at Mourinho's call.

"Hey, Lin, are you really going to buy Tottenham Hotspur?" Mourinho's voice was filled with excitement.

"En. How about it, Jose, are you satisfied?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"Yes, very much to my liking!" Mourinho admired, "Lin, to be honest, I long for the big stage, longing for the big scene. I graduated from an interpreter, slowly turning into an assistant coach, and then acting as the head Coach. In football, many people look down on my background and think that I was a failed football player before, and I will also be a failed football coach in the future. But I, Jose Mourinho, will prove to the world that I Ser Mourinho can become the greatest football coach on the planet!"

Lin Feng nodded. Mourinho will not say this easily to others, and only between his best friends, Mourinho will confide in his heart. A man was strongly questioned, despised, and disdainful by the outside world.

"Lin, Tottenham Hotspur is good. It is located in London, the financial center of the United Kingdom, and in the same city as Arsenal. It is also the only city in the world that has the 5 highest league teams in the same city. I like it very much, it's challenging. And I like its emblem, it's not inferior, the arrogance that puts everything under your feet!" Mourinho admired.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

"By the way, tell the little girl that this time Porto beat AC Milan at home. It is by no means a fluke. I will let her see how Porto has become the king of Europe this season." Mourinho said passionately.

If these words are heard by others, Mourinho must be bragging. But this is definitely not Mourinho deliberately arrogant, but his instinctive catharsis. Mourinho is a passionate person, a person who never conceals his heart, his emotions are very obvious on his face. It can be said that he himself doesn't know what he will do next second in the world of football.

But it's funny to think of it. Mourinho, who has the ambition to become the "king of Europe", would actually "care about" with a little girl like Allegra. But it's no wonder that Allegra's words after witnessing AC Milan's loss at the time were indeed very painful. With Mourinho's personality, he will not take advantage of this little girl in words, so he can only prove himself with actual results.

"José, rest assured, we will definitely make Tottenham Hotspur the new king of Europe." Lin Feng said confidently.

"Well, sure!" Mourinho said affirmatively. At the end, something suddenly came to mind, "Yes, Lin, from your tone of voice, I hate Japan, right? The Sony company in Japan just wanted to find I endorsed a brand under my brand, and when I thought of you, I refused."

Lin Feng was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect Mourinho to be so "righteous".

"Hehe, I just remind you that I have rejected the endorsement contract of the Japanese manufacturer for you. Don't let me down with the Tottenham Hotspur you acquired. You must give me sufficient funds to acquire players at that time. The current trust Tenham Hotspur is too bad. To become the king of Europe, I have to buy a few players. For example, Porto’s Deco, Bosingwa and others.” Mourinho said with a smile.

Lin Feng nodded heavily.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng's mind suddenly came to light, a Japanese company. Sony’s 2002 financial statements are about to be released. This is the year when Sony suffered a heavy blow. It was also the first time Sony suffered a huge loss, which directly led to the avalanche of the Japanese stock market.

Perhaps the funds to acquire Tottenham Hotspur have fallen out! ——Lin Feng's eyes shot all the light.
