Chapter 1532 (1/2)
It's over nine in London at night.
Bill Gates was a little absent-minded when the salon was busy.
Although he did not have any contact with Li Mu in the second half of the salon, his attention would inevitably focus on Li Mu.
In the salon of this entrepreneur gathering, Li Mu has become the most concerned person. The Internet industry itself is a sunrise industry, and Li Mu has occupied a lot of resources in this sunrise industry, so almost every businessman present is trying to find some inspiration from the dialogue with Li Mu.
To see others make money easily, these capitalists have been scratching their hearts and scratching their livers. If they have the chance to get involved, they will never hesitate.
Davidson came to the salon after dealing with the Macmillan family. He took a glass of champagne and sat beside Li Mu, apologizing for the Macmillan family and promising Li Mu that he would not let any member of the Macmillan family appear in front of Li Mu in the future when Li Mu was still in England.
Li Mu nodded and suddenly asked him, ”Davidson, sports industry, do you have any experience?”
”We have a few golf courses in the UK and then we run some golf related sports, and the rest is gone,” Davidson said
Li Mu asked him: ”why didn't you do something about the influence of the Premier League?”
Davinson said with a smile: ”football industry, at present, there are two relatively large areas in the UK, one is TV broadcasting, the other is football club, TV broadcasting will not be mentioned, external capital is very difficult to enter, as for the club Although the Premier League is very popular, the income from investing in the club is not high at this stage. The capital behind the British club is basically divided into two categories: one is the foreign capital that lives on the club for a long time, and the other is the foreign capital that doesn't make money on the club at all. For example, when Abramovich bought Chelsea, he was ready to make no profit in the next ten years, Even 15 years later, you may not be able to be responsible for your own profits and losses. In these ten years, you need to continue to invest every year. Such a business, unless you like football, no one will do it. ”
Li Mu asked him: ”what if I want to buy a Premier League club?”
Davidson was stunned and asked, ”Mr. Li really wants to buy a club?”
Li Mu nodded: ”buy one to play, like Abu.”
Davidson said with a smile: ”in fact, at this stage, the financial situation of the major clubs is not very optimistic, so if the offer is appropriate, most of the clubs will be willing to make a move, but to be honest, I advise you not to rush into this pit, a football club is a bottomless hole of funds.”
Li Mu smiled and said, ”if Abu can afford it, I believe I can afford it.”
The idea of building a football club came to Li Mu's mind this evening.
George Macmillan's silly dog talked in front of him, but one sentence touched Li Mu's heart.
The difference in the strength of Chinese football really makes FIFA and the clubs in the five major leagues hate iron but not steel.
FIFA also hopes that China, the largest country with the largest population, can regularly enter the world cup. The historical appearance of China in the world cup of South Korea and Japan last year has made people see the huge market of football in China. However, FIFA will not think that in the next decade, China will never return to the World Cup finals.
The same is true for the five major leagues.
The five major league clubs hope to introduce Chinese players, which is mainly to open up the Chinese market. Yao Ming, who just joined the NBA last year, has started to open up greater market space for the rockets and even the whole NBA in China. Everyone in the football field is also looking forward to such a day.
However, it is embarrassing that the overall level of Chinese players is indeed weak. The players who can be selected by the five major leagues are very few, and most of them are difficult to have a good play after the five major leagues.
George McMillan said that Manchester United have decided to introduce a player named Dong from China, which should be Dong Fangzhuo. He should be the only Chinese player who has joined Manchester United in the history of Chinese football, but his experience in Manchester United is not so happy and lucky, but rather a process of rapid decline, which not only has his personal problems, but also has British problems The problem of the Super League environment, as well as the club's attention to him.
Some Chinese players with strong ability and pursuit will face many problems after joining the five major league clubs, including language problems, living habits problems, failure to keep up with the training pace, exclusion of players and the lack of trust of the club. In fact, they have to face many problems.
An 18-9-year-old Chinese youth, even if he has been in school, just graduated from high school. His English level can't reach the level of daily life and daily communication overseas. What's more, the 18-9-year-old football player has to sacrifice most of his study time to practice. If such a person comes to the Premier League, it's just a matter of language barrier It's going to leave him in isolation. It's going to be much harder for him to really adapt and grow at the club than for other players.
If there is a five major league clubs operated by Chinese capital, no matter whether the club can make money or how, first of all, it may become a bridgehead for Chinese football players to receive higher-level experience overseas.If Li Mu bought Chelsea, he would first reserve some resources for Chinese football players from the youth training camp, trial camp and even the second team and the first team of the club. Secondly, he would set up a professional translation team in Chelsea to ensure that after Chinese players came here, they would not delay their own hair in training and life due to language problems Exhibition.
