Chapter 1255 Champion's Halo

Two pieces of news came from England.

First, from Xu Liangjie.

Ziweixing Group has a great reputation, not much worse than the Silicon Valley giants. After several days of consultations, a preliminary financing plan for Farfetch was proposed.

Divided into two aspects. One is the financing of the headquarters, and the other is the financing of cooperation with China.

For the financing of the headquarters, Ziweixing will contribute 6 million pounds and hold a 25% stake in Farfetch.

The cooperation with China refers to the mainland version of Farfetch, which will be a multi-party joint venture company. Farfetch's headquarters provides resources and brands, holding 35% of the shares; Ziweixing Group contributes money for traffic, holding 35% of the shares; Jingdong Group contributes money for logistics, holding 5% of the shares. The remaining 25% is held by the new entrepreneurial team.

Domestic Farfetch is expected to have an initial operating capital of US$5 million, which will be borne by Ziweixing and JD.com. Ziweixing invested US$4.5 million, and JD.com contributed US$500,000.

Zhou Buqi is quite satisfied with such a plan, but he has not yet negotiated with JD.com.

It shouldn't be a big problem.

This is the field of e-commerce, and it is the high-end of the high-end. JD.com's main products now are electronic products and household appliances, all of which cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, and are relatively "high-end". Jingdong's logistics system standard is also higher than that of ordinary express companies. This is a strong alliance.

Go back and communicate with Lao Liu. If there is no problem, you can cooperate according to this plan.

The second thing is Dad's response.

The acquisition of Manchester United should be resolved as soon as possible!

It's a little too late to squeeze time into the winter break.

In mid-December, this year's Club World Cup will begin. As last season's European champion, Manchester United will go to Japan to play two games in Tokyo and Yokohama. For Manchester United, this level of competition is to get something out of the bag, and the championship has been booked early.

If possible, Dad hopes to go out with the team as the owner of Manchester United and win his first trophy after taking over Manchester United!

It can't be that the Glazer family has been scolded like this, and they should go to represent Manchester United to win honors, right?

Moreover, the father also knows that the son and daughter-in-law's company is actively exploring the Japanese market, trying to increase its influence to earn money from the island country.

Manchester United is a great opportunity.

If Zhou Buqi appeared in the Japanese business world as the boss of Ziweixing, it would be a little bit worse. Japan has too many world-renowned big companies, such as Sony, Canon, Toyota, Panasonic... plus Zhou Qi is not too young, and in the Japanese business environment where seniority is heavily ranked, they may not be highly respected.

However, Manchester United is different!

This is an existence that everyone looks up to, and it can be called the highest peak in the football world. With the halo of Manchester United, Zhou Buqi can look down on many Japanese business leaders, and he will definitely be sought after.

With the blessing of Manchester United's influence, Zhou Buqi can make a lot of industrial layouts in his personal business.

Just like Real Madrid's president Florentino.

If he is a real estate developer, he is at most famous in the Iberian Peninsula, a businessman with a worth of 2 billion US dollars, not the top. But after becoming the chairman of the Real Madrid club, he will become a world-class real estate developer, and his business can be extended to the whole world, and he is on an equal footing with many world-class bigwigs.

"Yes, this idea is correct! Dad, you are promising!"

"I'll cut you to death!"

"What are you cutting me for? I'm praising you. You are right. This Club World Cup champion should be a halo for our family. If you want to win the Club World Cup, you must first win the Champions League. This is not easy. "

Dad said: "Then what should we do? The second negotiation broke up again. Our offer was 1.22 billion pounds, and the Yankees didn't agree."

Zhou Buqi asked, "How's your attitude?"

"It's... still okay?" Dad was a little uncertain, and he couldn't understand English. During the negotiation process, he basically belonged to the theater and had no right to speak.

Zhou Buqi pondered for a while, and said, "Okay, I will handle this matter, don't worry. You are right, Manchester United cannot delay this matter, it must be done as soon as possible!"

After finishing the call with Dad here, Zhou Buqi had already communicated with San Dezi, and clearly proposed to reach an agreement as soon as possible, and let him personally represent himself.

There is no more chattering and chirping.

Directly exceeding the opponent's expected 1.25 billion pounds, the buy-out price is 1.28 billion pounds!

Quick fix!

...

After spending 6 million yuan, I finally bought the domain name of neiwang.com.

Ziweixing's new project "Intranet" also has an official domain name.

Log in to this website, and all companies, institutions, and institutions can apply for a closed second-level domain name that is exclusive to them, register and log in, and then they can enter the intranet that belongs exclusively to the company.

Then complete the docking with Weibo.

Employees can post internal news on the intranet while posting external news through Weibo.

This project is very simple to make.

The original internal network of Ziwei Star has been migrated to the new public internal network platform and has entered the stage of internal testing.

Zhou Buqi went upstairs to find Lao Zhang.

"I read in the media that you want to buy Manchester United?"

"yes!"

"Really buy it?"

Zhang Chaoyang had known for a long time that this kid was going to buy a team in the Premier League, and he had expected it. But it was hard for him to imagine that it was Manchester United! It's almost impossible to do.

Zhou Buqi explained to him, "Because only Manchester United is the best buy!"

"hehe!"

Lao Zhang sneered twice, feeling that the kid was talking nonsense again.

Zhou Buqi said: "Really, Manchester United is the easiest. Arsenal's shareholding structure is too complicated. Americans and Russians want to take over Manchester United. Even the meritorious vice-chairman David Dunn was squeezed out under this situation. It’s hard to play. Liverpool is similar, the equity is in a mess. Even if it can be bought, it will be impossible to get so many investors without a year or two of operation. In comparison, Manchester United is the easiest, This is a private club belonging to the Glazer family. The equity relationship is very clear."

"Um."

Zhang Chaoyang felt a little uncomfortable, and felt that the gap between him and this kid was getting bigger and bigger.

He loves to play, and he also liked to play football in the past few years. But as I got older, I couldn't run anymore, so I switched to other sports, such as bowling, tennis, golf, mountain climbing and so on.

Also because he likes sports, Sohu ranks first among the three major domestic portals.

From the World Cup to the Olympics, other portals are still hesitating whether to spend so much money on copyrights, but Lao Zhang has already done so out of personal preference. Especially this year's Beijing Olympic Games, let Sohu stole the limelight.

But compared with Manchester United, these are much weaker.

How much does it cost?

$1 billion? $2 billion?

Selling Sohu is not enough!

Zhou Buqi didn't want to provoke him too much, and said with a smile, "I have some good news for you."

"what?"

"I remember you said that Sohu doesn't have an intranet, right?"

"What do you want on the intranet?" Zhang Chaoyang didn't think it would be useful, "No need, it's a waste of resources."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It's still very useful and can greatly improve management efficiency. How good is it to provide a fast transmission channel from top to bottom and a response channel from bottom to top?"

Zhang Chaoyang was so familiar with this kid's routine that he had a headache, "Tell me, what do you want to take advantage of me?"

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, "Pure kindness, don't get me wrong. I just built a public intranet here, you can go over and try it. All operations are in charge of Ziweixing. You can register and apply here. alright."

"Public intranet?"

"Yes, it is a bit like a community, BBS forum, and also has the functions of email and IM group. The most important point is to integrate communication and improve efficiency. It would be better to cooperate with our Weibo. If you are interested, just Free authorization for your use. Guaranteed to greatly improve Sohu's management efficiency."

"Weishu? What?"

"It's the former Dida, renamed, a document-centric office software for enterprise collaboration."

"Oh." Zhang Chaoyang nodded, "Do you want to push it to the market?"

Zhou Buqi said frankly: "The public intranet will be launched soon, and Weishu is still immature, so we have to wait. At that time, the globalization may be launched simultaneously."

Zhang Chaoyang was a little surprised, "A global product?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, in terms of the application efficiency of document office, Weishu is better than Google Docs."

Zhang Chaoyang said "hmm", "I don't know anything else, your little note is pretty good, and I have also opened a senior membership to record some documents."

Zhou Buqi was not polite, "Then it's settled, Sohu came to the public intranet to register a Sohu intranet. Don't worry, the effect is guaranteed to be good! This is an idea I learned from Silicon Valley, and it must be attractive. If you build your own intranet, it will be a website at most. This public intranet can also be used as a mobile phone application, which can be used on all platforms, which is much more convenient.”

"Okay." This is just a trivial matter, Zhang Chaoyang doesn't care much, "Is there anything else? Go upstairs, just for an intranet project?"

Zhou Buqi said: "The game industry in the UK is very promising. Changyou will acquire or invest in several game studios in the past, and make efforts in the field of mobile games for smartphones."

Then, the two had a 20-minute exchange on this field.

What can be done?

Denial is impossible.

Ziweixing holds 35% of Changyou's shares, and with the past experience of Boss Zhou, he has enough authority to judge the trend and development of this industry.

Zhang Chaoyang was a little powerless, feeling that in the professional field, he could only follow the other party's wishes, so he turned the topic back to the direction he was interested in, and asked, "By the way, you bought Manchester United, what should you do in China?"

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi didn't quite understand, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Manchester United has a player named Park Ji-sung, a Korean player. Dong Fang was still at Manchester United before, which is fine. This year he also left Manchester United and returned to China. You bought Manchester United, don't you want to help the national football team develop players?"

Zhou Buqi raised a black line on his forehead, "I don't buy teams in China and go to England to buy them, because I don't want to have any connection with the national football team. Manchester United is a giant, and the national football team is not up to the standard."

"Then you have to show your posture?"

"Let me ask."

"You can pay attention to women's football. Men's football can't go to Manchester United, but women's football can. There are a few female football players in China who are world-class. It's no problem to play in the Premier League. This will increase the attention. Your attitude of supporting the development of domestic football It also showed up."

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows in admiration, "Well, it makes sense!"
