Chapter 1862 Common Problems of Large International Enterprises
London is a metropolis with a long history, and there are too many intoxicating tourist attractions.However, both Jiang Bingjie and Li Xinwan's families are not cultural people, and they are not interested in historical and cultural places, but are very interested in the imperial palace.

From the Tower of London to Hampton Palace, as well as Kensington Palace, the State Banquet Hall, Kew Palace, etc., the Royal Palace has been turned around.

However, the most important Buckingham Palace is not open.

It's winter now, it's important to keep warm.

It will not open until midsummer.

The two families were very disappointed.

That night, Zhou Buqi heard about the matter from the two eldest daughters, and immediately found a relationship, and it was easily resolved.Buckingham Palace is just closed to the public, but it is open to private relationships.

The next day is the day of the League Cup final.

Go to Buckingham Palace in the morning, have a state banquet at noon, and watch a game at Wembley Stadium in the afternoon.

This morning, Zhou Buqi accompanied the two families to Buckingham Palace.

Without the presence of outsiders, privacy can be preserved.

However, there is a little surprise.

It's just that Jiang Bingjie can't move her legs when she walks, and she will frown slightly when she takes a long step, and she has to rely on Zhou Buqi to support her.Her mother was very concerned, so she came over and asked in a low voice, "Are you uncomfortable? Stomach pain?"

Jiang Bingjie shook her head lightly, her face blushing.

Mother Jiang was very strange.

If something happens to your daughter, don't be so shy, right?In front of mother, what is there to be embarrassed about?

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, and said with some embarrassment: "It's also my fault, last night... I was not careful, I might have hurt her, pay attention in the future."

Mother Jiang was taken aback for a moment, and then she showed a smiling face, "Oh, this is normal, you are young... you are strong and recover quickly, you are fine."

Jiang Bingjie whispered: "Well, just rest for two days."

Mother Jiang looked at Li Xinwan on the other side, and asked with a smile, "Where is Xiaowan, how are you?"

Li Xinwan pursed her lips, "I'm fine, thank you Aunt Jiang for your concern."

Then, without further ado.

This kind of whispering is relatively private, and it is inconvenient to talk about it.

Then continue sightseeing.

The tour guide is a British girl who speaks relatively fluent Chinese, which is very powerful.Because the visitor has a lot of background, the queen also sent a maid to take care of her at any time.Although she is a maid, she has a lot of background. She is a high-achieving student who graduated from Oxford University and the daughter of the Duke's family. She can speak eloquently about British history.

Father Jiang also paid attention to his daughter's situation and asked, "What's wrong with my daughter?"

Mother Jiang said: "It's your period."

Jiang's father frowned slightly, and looked back at his daughter, "Why is it so serious this time? Why don't you tell Mr. Zhou and find a place to sit for a while?"

Jiang's mother said impatiently: "Okay, you don't have to worry about the child's affairs. By the way, Mr. Zhou said that he would invite you to watch the game at Wembley Stadium in the afternoon. Will you go?"

"Go!" Jiang's father was very excited, "Such a good opportunity, of course I will go, call Lao Li, and go together!"

Jiang's mother has no interest in football, "Then you go, I will go to the hotel with my daughter to rest."

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the League Cup final kicked off at Wembley Stadium in London.

The opponents are Manchester United and Liverpool.

This is the focus battle!

Although the League Cup is an unimportant and tasteless event, it is a final, and it is still a duel between rivals, which is very attractive. The 10-person stadium was packed.

Fortunately, Zhou Buqi has VIP boxes, so it is easy to arrange a few people.He himself can't go to the box, but has to sit in the public VIP seat.

If the team wins the championship, as the big boss of the team, he still has the opportunity to walk into the green field to win the cup.Next to the VIP seat, sat San Dezi.

Mainly reporting work.

San Dezi was overjoyed, "The San Jose earthquake deal has basically been concluded."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, I saw the email."

San Dezi said: "The transaction price is 1800 million U.S. dollars, plus some handling fees and intermediary fees, the transaction should be concluded within 2000 million U.S. dollars. The next step is to go through the procedures, and the transaction is expected to be completed before May."

"Okay, good thing."

Zhou Buqi's attention was on the court. Gerrard's long-range shot just now almost broke the goal, which was very dangerous.

Liverpool, which just changed their boss, is full of fighting spirit!

In contrast, Manchester United seems to be a bit slow, playing defensive counterattack.

San Dezi said: "The total transaction price of the Zurich team has reached 6000 million US dollars. The price of the earthquake team is so low, mainly because the earthquake team does not have a stadium. Now the earthquake team uses Buck Shaw Stadium as their home stadium, which is the home of Santa Clara University. The stadium is the home of their college team, with only 1 seats."

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "Are there any new plans?"

San Dezi said: "In the past few years, the attendance rate of the Earthquake team has increased significantly. In 07, the stadium was expanded from 6000 seats to 10000 seats. Now it seems that it is still a bit small. If If the team has greater ambitions, it should have a stadium of its own."

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, turned to look at him, and asked, "How much is Manchester United's reserve stadium invested?"

San Dezi said: "This is an expanded stadium. It has been expanded from 1 seats to 3 seats, and it cost 2500 million pounds. If a large stadium is built in the United States... it depends on the size, location and positioning of the stadium."

If you want to build a modern large-scale stadium, you will spend too much money.

For example, this Wembley Stadium, this is a new top-level stadium, with a total cost of 12 billion US dollars.

With such a large amount of money, Zhou Buqi is definitely not willing to spend it on a small team like the Earthquakes. He said, "This matter requires in-depth cooperation with the local government. The government provides land for free and subsidizes 1 million- 2 million US dollars, we will invest another 1-2 million US dollars to build a stadium with 6-7 people, which is enough to be the top professional football stadium in the United States.”

San Dezi hesitated slightly, "What about the ownership?"

Zhou Buqi glanced at him and said calmly: "Our stadium must have full ownership and use rights. The local government can only pay for free. Whoever pays more will move the Earthquakes' home stadium. Football I don’t believe anyone can’t discover the tourism, catering and entertainment markets driven by the market.”

San Dezi nodded.

Zhou Buqi said: "The name Earthquake Team is too ugly, have you investigated it? Can you change the name?"

San Dezi smiled and said: "Yes, the United States is a football desert. They don't have such a deep football background. You can change the name at will, let alone the football team. The basketball team and the rugby team will not encounter much resistance if they want to change their names. Well, the US market is just so good. Fans don’t have a master mentality, they all know that the team is owned by the owner, and what the fans get is joy, not sovereignty. Do you know about Beckham?”

"Beckham? What happened to him?"

"He wants to buy the Los Angeles Galaxy for about $2000 million. After the purchase, he wants to change the name of the team to 'Manchester United'."

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was slightly taken aback, "This is impossible!"

San Dezi smiled and said, "Yes, the board of directors has already rejected his application."

Zhou Buqi said: "That's how it is. The Earthquake team will be renamed to the San Jose Ziwei Star team. If San Jose pays too little money...then you can move to San Francisco and change the name to the Golden State Ziwei Star team. Home It’s called Ziwei Planet Field.”

San Dezi said: "This matter is more complicated and needs to be operated slowly."

"It's okay, there's no rush."

Zhou Buqi knew that the United States did not pay much attention to the football industry. After a few years, Middle Eastern capital entered the European football market and football capital developed, and American sports began to focus on football.

San Dezi nodded, "What Rangnick means is that the Brazilian market should be deployed as soon as possible."

Zhou Buqi remembered something, "By the way, did the Red Team Group buy the team in Brazil?"

San Dezi said: "Yes, the Brazilian Red Bull team started in 07. But it was a failure. It has been lingering in the second and third tier leagues, and has not been able to be promoted to the Brazilian Serie A."

"What's the reason?" Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "Have you summed it up?"

San Dezi was slightly taken aback, and immediately stated, "I will get in touch with Red Bull."

Zhou Buqi said: "Many systems and managements are different between developed countries and developing countries. You have worked in the United States and the United Kingdom all year round, and you don't know much about the situation in third world countries. Maybe the Brazilian Red Bull also encountered such a predicament. .”

San Dezi obviously didn't understand, "What kind of predicament?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Don't boss me around."

"what?"

San Dezi was at a loss.

Zhou Buqi simply explained, "Human nature has an inferiority complex. If you lack something, you will be afraid of it, and you will cover up, fight, and keep shouting. If you say I am ugly, I will laugh because I am not ugly; I say You're ugly, and you get angry because you're really ugly."

"Ahem..." San Dezi is actually not ugly, and when he heard this, he immediately laughed and laughed, "It's a very vivid metaphor."

Zhou Buqi said: "The overall management of the PPT Football Group can be used in places such as Switzerland, Germany, the United States, Australia, Spain, Italy, and Japan. It can be managed in a unified manner. However, it must be used in some third world countries. Be careful, don’t try to control the world from the commanding heights of management. The Red Bull team can succeed in Germany, Austria, Spain, and the United States, but it is difficult to succeed in Brazil and Africa. This should be the reason. This is internationalization The common problem of large companies is the sense of superiority that exists when reaching out to developing countries from developed markets. The stronger this sense of superiority, the easier it is to fail.”

San Dezi took a deep breath.

I sighed again and again in my heart, inexplicably admiring.

It's amazing!

Sure enough, he is a world-class entrepreneur!
Pointing Jiangshan, brandishing Fang Qiu, a few words hit the nail on the head.

It makes people suddenly enlightened.

However, the problem is pointed out, how to solve it?
San Dezi felt that he could not find a solution in his life, so he could only ask the big boss for advice, "Is there any way?"
