Chapter 2745 Saving Money

Regarding such a proposal, Xu Yuting didn't take the initiative to express it. Zhou Buqi was naturally indifferent and couldn't force a woman from a good family.

If it was Xue Baoshan who made the suggestion, and it was aimed at Aunt Xue, and actively promoted the happy event, Zhou Buqi might have taken the initiative that week. Even if Aunt Xue was not happy, maybe she would have done it half-heartedly and half-heartedly to make the family of three happy. A story for the ages.

Forget it about Sister Yuting.

Just a temporary worker.

In about ten days, she will go back to live a normal life. The two parties are from two different worlds, and there should not be any intersection in the first place.

After dinner, Zhou Buqi called Wang Yanan and Chen Yan as usual and went to the room for a massage.

The two charming and beautiful women are becoming more and more skilled in Wan-style massage.

It's a bit addictive.

However, Zhou Buqi is a striver.

Even though the three of them were not wearing clothes during the massage, Zhou Buqi did not forget to work. He lay on Wang Yanan's soft and plump body, enjoying Chen Yan's various roaming massages from behind, while holding a just-printed copy in his hand The financial report comes out.

From Manchester United.

This past season, the audited financial report finally came out.

Manchester United's total revenue reached a new high, reaching 646 million pounds! The income is a full 150 million pounds more than that of Barcelona, ​​which ranks second!

Among them, commercial income reached 312 million pounds, television broadcast income was 156 million pounds, match day income was 139 million pounds, and other income was approximately 40 million pounds.

In fact, the most important thing is commercial income, which is 100 million pounds more than Barcelona and Real Madrid.

That’s not all!

Under the operation and arrangement of Boss Zhou, as well as strategic guidance on Internet operations, Manchester United has become a real Internet celebrity team, especially in the North American market. It is no more popular than the well-known football and basketball teams in the United States. Bad team.

This summer, Manchester United signed another global sponsorship, two regional sponsors, and two financial services and telecommunications partners in the United States.

These five large contracts will increase Manchester United's sponsorship income by another 45 million pounds in the coming season.

However, when you make a lot of money, you also spend a lot of money.

Spending reached a staggering £632 million!

This resulted in a book profit of only 14 million pounds, a tax of 4 million pounds, and a net profit of 10 million pounds.

Such a high expenditure is really unimaginable.

Because looking at Manchester United's financial report, the club's salary expenditure is only 270 million pounds. The debt is 160 million pounds, and the interest generated is only 4.2 million pounds, which is almost negligible.

Where is the money spent?

Part of this is hidden through the transfer sharing strategy. For example, Neymar's transfer fee of up to 72 million pounds this summer was included in last season's financial report expenses.

A larger part is spent on large-scale infrastructure.

In fact, in the five years since Zhou Buqi took over Manchester United in 2008, Manchester United has made a total operating profit of 680 million pounds, but it has been wiped out by financial expenditures of 650 million pounds.

Of the 650 million pounds in financial expenditures, 470 million pounds were spent on the renovation of the Old Trafford stadium, and 90 million pounds were spent on the construction of training midfielders, youth teams and women's football venues.

Now Manchester United is building the Manchester United Hotel, with a budget of 130 million pounds, and 55 million pounds have been paid so far.

A large area of ​​land around Old Trafford was also purchased, and a large relocation fee was paid to surrounding residents. The latest plan is to build a modern art-style museum near Old Trafford to showcase Manchester United's glorious history.

The current Manchester United Museum is inside the stadium.

It's small, old and inconvenient.

The Old Trafford Stadium that will be renovated in the future will have more commercial functions and can hold concerts, horse racing meets, and even football, baseball and basketball games.

When there are commercial operations, Old Trafford can no longer be visited and the museum will be closed.

This problem could be solved if a larger museum was built nearby.

In the Old Trafford stadium, without the museum, more space can be freed up, the passages can be made wider, more toilets can be built, and the issues that fans have complained about for decades can be solved.

Zhou Buqi even has a big plan to join forces with government agencies in Manchester and well-known teams in the Manchester United region such as Manchester City, Stockport, Wigan Athletic, Bolton, and Oldham to create a playground dedicated to football. .

Manchester is transforming into a tourist city.

Many foreign tourists are attracted by Manchester United and Manchester City. Presumably the Manchester government is also willing to launch such an infrastructure project that will help tourism.

It is worth mentioning that this financial report also briefly lists the income and expenditure of the Manchester United women's football team last season.

Total revenue was £8.2 million.

Far ahead, first in Europe!

This is £6 million more than the second-placed Arsenal Women.

Among them, commercial sponsorship income is 7 million pounds, ticket income is 1 million pounds, and broadcast income is 200,000 pounds. It is by the standards of the amateur league, relying on Manchester United's brand name to obtain astonishing sponsorship income.

Total expenditure reached £19 million.

fair enough.

Most of the other teams have semi-professional players, and only the core players are professional players. In the Manchester United women's football team, 20 of the 25 players are professional players... The strength is certainly unprecedented. In the three years since its establishment, it has won two Premier League championships, three FA Cup championships and a Champions League championship.

Think of it as spending money to buy a championship.

If women's football develops in the future, it will also have a glorious history.

…

The next day, Zhou Buqi went to Black Rock Capital, bringing with him the private lawyers and finances hired by Ziweixing Global, as well as the senior executives of Ziweixing Global to help.

This time it was about the acquisition of the football team San Francisco 49ers.

After seven or eight rounds of consultations.

The acquisition plan has been finalized.

The current owner of the San Francisco 49ers is willing to sell 80% of the club's shares for US$1.3 billion, which is equivalent to a sales price of US$1.625 billion for the team.

It was higher than Zhou Buqi's expected US$1.5 billion.

However, the opportunity is rare.

This rare opportunity to own a football team cannot be missed because of this minor disagreement. Missed the opportunity due to the current poor management of the San Francisco 49ers, and waited ten years before launching an acquisition... Hum, let alone $1.6 billion, even $6 billion can't buy it!

Zhou Buqi invested US$1.138 billion, plus some legal fees, accounting fees, deed taxes, stamp duties and other expenses. The total investment is US$1.18 billion. He will acquire 70% of the shares of the San Francisco 49ers and become the indispensable football club. The controversial boss!

Black Rock Capital will invest a sum of money to follow the investment and take the remaining 10% of the shares.

That's not all.

The San Francisco 49ers are not operating well and have little money in their accounts. Boss Zhou has come over. They must find a way to build a super team...

Zhou Buqi will also personally contribute $300 million to the San Francisco 49ers to improve the club's operations.

Black Rock Capital will operate in the middle and bring two people to the team.

New England Patriots general manager and head coach Bill Belichick, along with the team's quarterback, is arguably the No. 1 star in football, Tom Brady.

This cost the next five years of draft resources and two of the largest contracts in history.

Ning Yameng came with him today.

Very worried.

This is really expensive!

Buying a sports team, buying antiques, and setting up a new company called Tinghua Entertainment... It seems like there isn't that much money in the family's account, right?

After leaving Black Rock Capital, Ning Yameng couldn't help but ask: "How to raise so much money?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Isn't Ziweixing about to go on the market? I've been watching it since you didn't look at it!"

"Cash out Ziweixing's shares?"

Ning Yameng was very surprised.

Because this brother-in-law has always valued long-term investment strategies, the family's debt is more than 5 billion US dollars, and the annual interest is nearly 400 million US dollars.

I haven’t seen him cash out his stocks to pay off debts.

Zhou Buqi said: "It's not cashing out my stocks, it's Polaris Venture Capital's stocks. Most of the people in the Ten School Entrepreneurship Alliance don't directly hold Ziweixing's stocks, they hold them indirectly through investment companies. Cash out in a big way The first wave is mainly for them. After the company has finally gone public, there must be a certain degree of wealth reflected in daily life. "

"Then..." Ning Yameng is always with Wu Yu, and she understands it very well. "Is the cashed out money enough? It seems that if you want to buy those antiques from our country from Rockefeller, you may have to spend two dollars. Three billion dollars.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "There will be a way."

Ning Yameng hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "How about raising funds!"

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was slightly startled, "Raising funds? What raising funds?"

Ning Yameng pursed her lips, "Our family is rich, so we can't put all the responsibility of supporting the family on you alone. We all have our own careers and some money."

Zhou Buqi laughed dumbly.

Ning Yameng pursed her lips, "Really, don't underestimate me. I'm relatively broke. I also have about... an estimated 20 to 30 million US dollars of private money that I can always use."

"so much?"

Zhou Buqi was somewhat surprised.

Chaowan Commune is quite profitable, but it has not distributed dividends yet. Her salary... is up to US$2 million per year.

Ning Yameng rolled her eyes at him and said with a chuckle: "You're looking down on people, aren't you? Among the sisters in our family, I am considered poor. My sister has more money. I asked once, and it seems... It seems to be over 100 million. ”

"Dollar?"

Zhou Buqi is a bit incredible.

Ning Yameng nodded lightly, "Well, I asked about U.S. dollars last year, and there may be more now. She knows how to run a household, and she has saved all the living expenses that her family usually gives her."

Ning Yaxian has been saving money, which is no secret in the Zhou family.

It was hard for anyone to say anything.

She is a mother.

Her daughter Cecilia Zhou, also known as Zhou Xin, was not Zhou Buqi's biological child. She was brought to the Zhou family by her and her ex-husband's daughter.

As a mother, I definitely have some different kinds of care in my heart.

If she is not her biological daughter, what if Zhou Buqi refuses to give it to her when she divides the property among her children in the future?

Ning Yaxian saved money just to take precautions. She didn't want her daughter to be any different from other children.
