Chapter 1238 Intensifies the smell of gunpowder

In the evening, local tycoons in the Middle East invited Zhou Buqi and his party to watch a football game, a Premier League game: Manchester City VS Chelsea.

While watching the game, while waiting for the news, while talking about the football industry.

The owner of Manchester City is Mansour, who is only in his thirties this year. He is the younger brother of the King of the United Arab Emirates and holds hundreds of billions of dollars in national wealth.

He's also a fan and very strategic.

Mansour said ambitiously: "In the European football league, the most influential game is the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which is even more attractive than the match between Manchester United and Liverpool, Milan and Inter Milan. For the fans That said, football is not just a game, it's a war."

Zhou Buqi took it seriously, "The reason why football is the world's largest sport is because football is a war in a peaceful age. The stronger the smell of gunpowder, the more intense the game, the more crazy the fans will be."

Mansour said: "Manchester City is still a weak team, but we will spend huge sums of money to buy the best players in the transfer market to build a top team. The match between Manchester United and Manchester City should be The Premier League, and even the most influential derby in Europe and the world!"

Zhou Buqi laughed, "I'm looking forward to it."

That being said, the current Manchester City is too weak, abused by Chelsea casually, and scored a goal in a short while. Drogba was like a monster, rampaging in the penalty area of ​​Manchester City, with the momentum of taking the head of the enemy general among thousands of troops.

Mansour didn't care about this. For him, football is a game, and players are just pawns. He said seriously: "Mr. Zhou, as you said, I want to create the most attractive football team in the world. In the derby, the smell of gunpowder must be full."

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "If there is no smell of gunpowder, then create the smell of gunpowder?"

"What do you think?" Mansour looked excitedly, "Let the players and coaches create conflicts, and at the same time intensify the conflicts between the fans, and guide the hostility between the fans of both sides. The greater the conflict between the fans of the two sides, the better the game. .”

Zhou Buqi was surprised.

I said in my heart that this local tycoon in the Middle East who was born as a master is really different. The righteous and confident superior thinking does not regard fans as "similar" at all, but the relationship between ruling and being ruled.

However, Manchester City can do this, but Manchester United cannot.

Manchester United and Manchester City are the two top teams in Manchester, and Manchester United is a world-class giant. However, in the city of Manchester, Manchester City has far more fans than Manchester United.

It's about money.

Old Trafford is in a wealthy area, and tickets are very expensive. Manchester City's home stadium is the Manchester City Stadium, which is a public stadium, and the ticket price is very low.

There are always more poor people than rich people.

This one alone defines the clubs of Manchester United and Manchester City.

Manchester United is a wealthy family, sought after by the local upper class; Manchester City is a popular team, with the largest number of bottom-level fans, including a large number of football hooligans.

The lower the level, the easier it is to be instigated, and the herd effect is more obvious, so Mansour's strategy will work well for Manchester City. Once this trick is used, Manchester City can quickly enter the field of vision of fans all over the world by relying on their touch with Manchester United, and can achieve success more quickly.

Manchester United can't do that.

Zhou Buqi and San Dezi have already designed the brand building ideas of Manchester United Club, and want to become a world-class top club with high-end brands.

He has even asked that Manchester United must be cautious when choosing sponsors, and don't accept all sponsors. Accept high-end sponsorship advertisements and reject vulgar sponsors.

Under this kind of strategic planning, it would be too embarrassing for Manchester United to roll up their sleeves and fight with the bums in the same city.

Then, Zhou Buqi became suspicious.

This local tyrant in the Middle East is setting up a trick to harm himself, right? The two parties have a cooperative relationship in Neptune Capital, but they are competitors in the Manchester football market.

Zhou kept his composure and smiled, "I don't know much about football. The board of directors should decide what to do. I respect Sir Alex Ferguson very much. I'll ask him later."

Mansur nodded, "How long is the acquisition?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Hurry up, try to complete the transaction before the winter transfer window opens."

Mansour was silent for a while, then said with a smile: "The club has asked me to bring in Carlos Tevez."

"Teves?"

"Yes, I heard Ferguson didn't pay enough attention to him."

"I will respect the coaching staff."

Zhou Buqi casually said a word.

Ferguson did not use Tevez enough, not because of his lack of ability, but because of player allocation and team tactics. In Ferguson's tactics, he hopes that the forward striker can be tall and have enough header ability, Tevez is too short. If it is a shadow forward, there is already a more versatile Rooney in the lineup.

This has led to an embarrassing position for Tevez in the team. Even the big center Berbatov, who Manchester United bought from Tottenham this summer, his playing time has been further compressed.

From this perspective, it is reasonable for Tevez to leave Manchester United. But when he goes to Manchester City, there is a lot to say. Tevez has a bad temper and a hot personality. He was treated unfairly at Manchester United, and then transferred to join his rival in the same city. This is probably what Manchester City cares most about.

The result of this Premier League game is no suspense, Chelsea beat Manchester City 3:1. The Middle Eastern boss, Mansour, didn't pay much attention. Then, an assistant wearing a white turban came over and whispered something in his ear.

Mansur looked a little surprised.

Then, he turned his head to look at Zhou Buqi, "Mr. Zhou, it looks like we should have a drink."

"oh?"

"The imperial meeting is over."

"How about it?"

"50%."

"oh……"

Zhou Buqi frowned slightly, feeling that this number was too small.

A 50% investment ratio means that the Abu Dhabi sovereign fund will only contribute US$5 billion to the US$10 billion fundraising scale of Neptune Capital.

Isn't this too conservative?

Mansur then said with a smile: "However, there is an additional condition, which can increase the investment ratio up to 75%. Would you like to hear it, Mr. Zhou?"

"OK."

"We hope Ziweixing Group can invest in our country and do some Internet business development."

"Of course," Zhou Buqi agreed without hesitation, "I will definitely go!"

He will go without the other party asking for conditions. The first thing to do is the layout of cloud computing. Dubai is a landmark city in the United Arab Emirates, receiving tens of millions of tourists from all over the world every year.

This requires a very complex Internet system to support.

If you want to provide Internet services, you have to build a server locally and build a website. However, the UAE lacks enough talents in the technology industry. Under the high-temperature environment, the maintenance of servers is also a severe test, and small companies cannot cope.

This is the role of the cloud computing platform, and it is also the reason why cloud computing will have a large development market in the future.

Simple, efficient and convenient.

A large company will come forward to build a cloud computing data center, and use a series of technical guarantees to solve some local problems. After other companies pass by, they can rent directly on the cloud computing platform.

For the UAE, as long as Ziweixing Group invests in the UAE, the two parties will establish a deeper cooperative relationship. Cooperation on private equity funds is also safer.
