Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1649
The trip to the Middle East was a bit traumatic, so that Zhou Buqi continued to abstain from sex for five or six days before he could cleanse his mind and wash away the ugly scenes he saw in Abu Dhabi from his scarred mind.

My sister has returned home.

You can play during the summer vacation, but you can't just play. You still have to go back to Jieyu Media for an internship.Even if it's an internship, she won't arrange any hard work for her, and it's the same when she goes back to the capital. On weekends, she can go to Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Israel and other places that are close to her.

Zhou Buqi went to London.

I went to Cambridge University to meet a guy named Lang Weiyi. He was Zhou Buqi's senior and graduated from the Business Administration Department of Beijing University in 2005.

He was one of the early participants of Xiaonei.

He was the core member of Guo Pengfei's subordinates, mainly in charge of publicity and sponsorship.However, his family conditions are very good, and he has not encountered any special changes, so there is no need to take the risk of being expelled to work full-time. If he takes the normal path of studying, taking postgraduate entrance examinations, and studying abroad, he can become a local There is a master.

So he has been part-time.

Later, I went to Peking University to study for a master's degree. I had to work hard to study English and take the TOEFL test. There were even fewer opportunities to work for Xiaonei.

According to Guo Pengfei, if he had been more courageous in 04, he would have come out to fight with everyone and build the Xiaonei website together... Maybe he is now an M5-level executive.

He chose the wrong path, so that he had to start from scratch when choosing a career.

However, Lang Weiyi recently contacted Guo Pengfei. He knew that Ziwei Star had a branch in London, and he also graduated from Cambridge with a Ph.D., so he wanted to go back to Ziwei Star to work.

Not to return to China, but to find a job here in London.

Probably because I was embarrassed to go back and meet those friends from Ziweixing who jointly founded Xiaonei.

Those people back then, like Guo Pengfei, were already senior vice presidents of M7, and there were a large number of other middle-level managers of M4 and M3.If he goes back now, what position can he have?
A doctoral graduate with little work experience, even if he has a past resume, he still has to start from M1, which would be too shameful.

Just stay in London and start from scratch!
Moreover, his girlfriend is British, and if possible, he may settle here in the future.Instead of working for foreigners, it is better to go to Ziwei Star.

After all, this was also his former home.

Zhou Buqi has a deep impression on Lang Weiyi. When he played football, Zhou Buqi was a striker and Lang Weiyi was the team's main defender.

Guo Pengfei also attached great importance to this matter, and specially called to ask him to arrange a job with development potential for him, and to take care of him. He had made great contributions to the initial development of Xiaonei.

Boss Guo has said so, Zhou Buqi can only obey.

However, the system of Ziweixing International in London is already very complete. How can there be any better positions?

What kind of positions have potential for development?

Work from 0 to 1.

For example, if Ziweixing International wants to open a branch in Australia, it needs a person in charge, so it is time to send him there.If he does it, it will be a credit to the expansion of the territory, and the prospect of promotion is very bright.

Now that the border opening in London is over, he doesn't want to go anywhere else.

So after going to London, Zhou Buqi directly made an appointment with Lang Weiyi.

The guy is very energetic.

It's just very reserved after meeting.

After just a few years, the difference between the two has become worlds apart.Back then, the two played football together, but now sitting and drinking coffee together has become a luxury.

Lang Weiyi somewhat laughed at himself.

Cursed secretly that he deserved it.

The stability-seeking thinking of migrant workers taught at home is the main culprit for the current gap.

Look at them, there are several bodyguards!

Seeing him restrained, Zhou Buqi smiled enthusiastically and said, "By the way, are you still playing football?"

Lang Weiyi smiled, "Kick, a substitute player for the Cambridge school team."

"Why is it a substitute?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "I remember how good your defense was at the beginning. Every time I faced you in an internal confrontation, I always couldn't break through. You are the gate of our team's defense. .”

Lang Weiyi twitched his lips, feeling very helpless, "It's not bad to be a substitute. I'm a substitute for the third team. The main players in our team are all from the professional youth training echelon. The youth training has been screened out. to continue studying.”

"No wonder!" Zhou Buqi laughed, and then felt a little emotional, "It makes sense that he is strong in football, this is the football kingdom."

"Yes." Lang Weiyi nodded again and again. He has experienced it personally, so he has the right to speak. "Our school team games, if tickets are not counted, the game day income may be more than that of Guoan."

"Oh no?"

"Anyway, the scene is very spectacular. Every time there is a school team game, the school is like a school celebration, but it is lively. There are many banners on the campus. Many students are wearing the school's jerseys, blowing the trumpet and waving the team flag. There are also many derivatives. It is also because people have high spending power and are rich.”

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It can be seen that your interest in football has not diminished."

"It's just a hobby."

Lang Weiyi couldn't help laughing at himself again.

Football is a hobby, how can you compare with others?The person opposite is the big boss of Premier League champion Manchester United!

Zhou Buqi coughed his throat, and said seriously: "You don't have to worry about work, our friendship rests on me. But there is one thing I want to explain."

Lang Weiyi nodded, "OK."

Zhou Buqi said: "There may not be any suitable positions on Ziweixing's side."

"what?"

Lang Weiyi was surprised and puzzled.

This is a big company!
Helo has spread all over Europe, and recently even launched a new image social product Ucgram, how can there be no suitable positions?

Zhou Buqi said: "It's like this. The business here in London is relatively full. Even if there are job vacancies, they are all relatively low-level, and it is very difficult to be promoted."

Lang Weiyi took a deep breath, "It's okay, I can do it!"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "That's not what I mean, I just think... Anyway, you were also the founder of Ziwei Star back then. It's normal to drop out of school halfway and continue working after school."

Lang Weiyi heard what the other party meant, that he wanted to treat him favorably, and was somewhat moved.

Zhou Buqi said: "If you want to be promoted faster, it must be of an entrepreneurial nature."

"Entrepreneurship?"

"It's not a company start-up, it may also be the expansion of a new business. Only with a new business can you directly become a business executive."

"Well, I can."

"But it's not Ziweixing."

"what is that?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and asked, "How about Manchester United?"

Lang Weiyi was stunned, "Manchester United? You want me to work at Manchester United?"

Zhou Buqi asked: "What? Can't you?"

Lang Weiyi said: "It's not impossible. I have been studying the Internet for the past few years, and my doctoral project is new media based on the Internet. I thought I could find a job related to the Internet."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I know, so I arranged it like this."

Lang Weiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to understand, "Boss Zhou, you mean to let me take charge of Manchester United's new media business? Manchester United wants to develop the new media market?"

"How is it?" Zhou Buqi admitted, "Are you interested?"

"This……"

Lang Weiyi hesitated, as if he couldn't make up his mind.

Even Manchester United's new media business is not an Internet company.Playing for a club, from the perspective of Chinese people, does not seem to have as much aura as working for a world-class Internet giant.

Zhou Buqi said: "I will go to Manchester in the afternoon. Manchester United will have a season summary meeting tomorrow. Why don't you go with me? Go to Old Trafford to experience it."

"Can I bring my girlfriend?"

"Of course, together!"

……

In the afternoon, Lang Weiyi showed up with his little girlfriend.

Really little girlfriend.

Lang Weiyi graduated with a Ph.D. this year. He is 28 years old. His girlfriend has just finished her freshman year. She is only 19 years old this year. Her name is Qiao Na. She has many freckles on her face and wears braces.

At first glance, I thought it was an underage girl.

Compared with Lang Weiyi's restraint, his girlfriend was much more active. When she boarded the private jet, she jumped up and down with excitement, saying that this was the first time in her life to take a private jet, and she was so excited.

Lang Weiyi fell into shock again.

Looking at the luxurious decoration inside the private jet, he felt as if he was in another world.Especially the high-end sofa, he didn't even dare to sit on it.

Qiao Na wanted to go to the bedroom with him to take a look and take a rest, so scared that he quickly stopped.As for the glamorous stewardess and beautiful female secretary on the plane, it's better not to think about it.

There's no point in thinking too much.

Times have changed, and the juniors who played football together back then are already in two worlds with me.

Fortunately, Zhou Buqi was very enthusiastic and did not put on airs at all. He chatted about playing football together on the plane, especially once the school team of Beike lost to Beihang.Then a few of them were not convinced, formed a team by themselves, found an unlicensed coach to guide them, and made an appointment with Beihang.Relying on the simplest tactics of defensive counterattack and long pass, they even won by a score of 2:1.

The school team lost, but their grass-roots team won, which can be regarded as a rare and good memory.

The next day, Zhou Buqi took Lang Weiyi together to attend the high-level meeting of Manchester United.

The new season will start soon, and this meeting is mainly a summary of the 09-10 season.

Achievements: Champions League runner-up, Premier League champion, FA Cup semi-finals, League Cup quarter-finals, Community Shield champion.

Revenue: £4.05 million.

This is the most eye-catching achievement.

There are already industry news. Last season, Real Madrid spent 2.4 million euros to buy a large number of top players, which made Real Madrid's revenue hit a record, reaching 4.42 million euros!
However, Manchester United is more!
Manchester United's revenue is 4.05 million pounds, which can be converted into 4.71 million euros.

World number one!

Compared with the previous financial year, Manchester United's revenue increased by 6250 million pounds.Among them, TV broadcast income, 1.29 million pounds.Matchday revenue, £1.04m.Commercial operating income, £1.72 million.

Operating profit reached £1.01 million!
Far more than the previous estimate of 9400 million pounds.

Among them, the most obvious is of course the achievement of commercial revenue, which is mainly due to the reform of the club structure promoted by Zhou Buqi, and the independent operation of Manchester United's commercial business, allowing commercial development to have more independent and free choices.
