Top of the Great Era

Sister Zhen Yu likes buying houses very much, and keeps buying houses.

It may be because of her status as a housekeeper. To solve the housing problem of family life, it may be that she believes that real estate investment has the most long-term value. It may be that buying a house can bring her a sense of security, or it may be that she simply likes this kind of consumption. Feel.

Just like many girls like to go shopping.

I bought a lot of things, but I didn’t really need them. I simply enjoyed the joy of shopping.

Maybe this kind of real estate transaction, which can cost millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, can bring her a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Anyway, how many real estates the Zhou family owns now, Zhou Buqi is no longer clear. The two real estates in London and Miami that are being renovated have an initial investment of 5.5 million US dollars.

After dinner, Zhou Buqi and the girls watched an animated movie in the home theater, which was "Puss in Boots" produced by DreamWorks Animation.

This made Mai Feixue feel the privilege of being with the boss again.

The movie hasn't been released yet!
The release date written in the brochure will be two months later, but I didn't expect to be able to watch the movie in advance at home.Later, Sun Guanran said that DreamWorks Animation is an animation studio under Ziweixing Global Group, which made her dazed for a long time.

Zhou Buqi didn't care about the psychological impact of Mai Feixue, who was "climbing the mountain for the first time". He went to the study with Senior Sister Zhen Yu and continued to discuss the matter of real estate.

Zhen Yu chuckled and said, "Manchester United is building a five-star hotel."

"Well, about £1.4 million."

"Is it less?"

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi glanced at her and said with a smile, "It's just a five-star hotel, how much more will it cost? The land and surrounding transportation facilities are all provided by the city. Manchester is going towards tourism. urban transformation."

Zhen Yu said softly: "Don't you think this house is too small?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, and said helplessly, "But this is already a first-class mansion in Manchester."

Normally, this luxury villa is enough for a family to live in.

But Zhou Buqi is different.

He has too many people with his family. Basically wherever he goes, there are more than a dozen people around him.Do bodyguards, drivers, etc. need to live in?If you don't come in, where do you live?

This is also one of the reasons why Zhen Yu wants to buy a big house.

For now, this villa is home to Zhou Buqi, Wu Yu, Ning Yameng, Zhen Yu, Sun Guanran, Ning Lu, Mai Feixue, two maids, a chef... the male staff all live there. In a nearby hotel.

Zhen Yu smiled and said, "So we can make a fuss about the Manchester United hotel project."

Zhou Buqi also had this idea before, "Live in a hotel?"

Zhen Yu said, "Well, how many floors are planned for this hotel?"

"32 floors."

"That's easy to handle. The 30th floor is open to the public, and the 31st and 32nd floors are reserved for our own living areas, which are not open to the public. With the guise of a hotel, we can also avoid crowds."

"Well, that's the truth."

Zhou Buqi agrees very much.

There are so many beautiful girls living in the house of the Zhou family... It doesn't matter to my own family. With the mediation ability of Boss Zhou, it can be settled completely. The dizzy Mai Feixue is an example.

However, there are always some staff such as nannies and cooks at home, and they may be very confused.

Living in a hotel is different.

A few beautiful girls went to the hotel, even if they were noticed, so what?Who knows whether she is going to the ordinary room or the top floor?

The hotel's security, cleaning, chefs, waiters and other staff can solve all the trivial matters of life.

Zhen Yu was very happy, because she saw another opportunity to buy a big house, and said happily: "Manchester United's budget for this hotel is 1.4 million pounds. I think it's a little less, and it can be increased to 3 million pounds."

"what?"

Zhou Buqi felt that her tone was really big. The design plan of the entire hotel was finalized, but it didn't mean that it could be changed just by changing it.

Zhen Yu smiled and said: "The budget below the 30th floor is 1.4 million pounds, which will not affect the overall construction plan of the entire five-star hotel. You only need to make some minor adjustments on the 31st and 32nd floors."

周不器扯了扯嘴角，“30层以下的预算是1.4亿英镑，31层和32层的预算是1.6亿英镑。”

"Maybe we won't need that much," Zhen Yu said indifferently, "In the end, the money can be spent, the profit will be wiped out, and the income and expenditure will be balanced."

Zhou Buqi laughed, "Senior Sister Zhenyu, you have such a big heart!"

Zhen Yu gave him a white look, "In the first place, for a company, the funds spent on building factories, building buildings, and buying equipment are the same as the funds spent on buying raw materials and players. It's just that this cost will not be eliminated in the current period. All of them are listed as costs, but they are depreciated over many years and apportioned into costs... Well, you know what apportioned costs are, right?"

"You underestimate me too." Zhou Buqi also knows some common sense, "It's just like a football transfer, just like Manchester United bought Modric for 4500 million euros this summer and signed a five-year contract. , apportioned, the annual expenditure is 5 million euros."

Zhen Yu nodded lightly, "However, this kind of apportionment is not static. It depends on how the accounts are done. It can be apportioned over 5 years, or it can only be counted within 1 year."

"Oh."

Not so clear this week.

Zhen Yu said softly: "It's like buying stocks. Do you know how Buffett buys stocks? A very important data is the amortization time of fixed assets. Companies with strong profitability tend to shorten the amortization time. On the contrary, companies with low profitability will find ways to extend the apportionment time. Through the analysis of such a financial report, it is possible to clearly judge the growth potential of a company without entering into the internal background investigation, and then analyze the Their stock is worth it."

"Oh."

This is embarrassing for Zhou Buqi.

How does he understand these things?

When he buys stocks, he only has one trick, follow his feeling, and his position will be full when he comes up.Buy it when you are optimistic about it, and leave it alone when you are finished buying it. It is called value investing.

Zhen Yu went on to say: "The profit of 1.7 million pounds in the past season is not too much, and it can be easily apportioned, but this is not a long-term solution. Even if football is special, there are many ways to hide profits and make up for shortfalls. But from a long-term perspective, it is better to follow the rules, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless Manchester United really breaks even!"

"I'm afraid it's unlikely," Zhou Buqi shook his head. "Manchester United is in my hands. It's hard not to make money. Last season, Manchester United won the Triple Crown, the Champions League, the Premier League and the League Cup, which drove their income. It is impossible for Manchester United to have so many championships every season, but it is relatively easy to make money in the long run.”

In the previous life, Manchester United, under the hands of Santoku, had to pay the Glazer family consulting fees every year, and also gave them dividends, and repaid huge loan interest for them... Even so, Manchester United has a very healthy financial situation.

Now that Zhou Buqi takes over Manchester United, all hidden dangers have been eliminated, and it is difficult not to make money.

Zhen Yu said: "Income will continue to grow, so let's increase expenses."

"How to increase?"

Zhou Buqi actually has some preparations for this, that is, to gradually increase Manchester United's salary level year by year.

Top players like to go to Real Madrid and Barcelona. Another reason is that the salary is high enough.

Now in the ranking of football players in the world, Ronaldo ranks first, with 1130 million pounds after tax, a Real Madrid player; the second is Ibrahimovic, with 1040 million pounds after tax. Although he is now playing for AC Milan, 70% The wages are still paid by Barcelona.

Third, Barcelona's Messi, 910 million pounds after tax;
Fifth, Kaka of Real Madrid, 870 million pounds after tax;
Sixth, Adebayor of Manchester City, 740 million pounds after tax;
Seventh, Real Madrid's Benzema, 730 million pounds after tax.

In the eighth place, it was finally the turn of Rooney, the core player of Manchester United, with a salary of 720 million pounds after tax, which was the result of a salary increase and contract extension.

Real Madrid and Barcelona's salaries to players are high enough, and of course the attractiveness will increase.

If Manchester United wants to be more attractive, it must be competitive enough in salary, such as Bell, Robben, Schweinsteiger, Ram, Van Persie, Ferdinand, Vidic these past few seasons The meritorious players who have won trophies for Manchester United in a row need further salary increases.

Attraction is branding.

Manchester United will surpass Real Madrid and Barcelona to become the club with the highest salary level of players in Europe.

What Senior Sister Zhenyu thought was totally different, "Increase operating expenses, it's like the top floor of a five-star hotel, let's live in it... All the expenses will be counted on Manchester United's account. Manchester United earns more, we earn more Spend a little time, won’t it be wiped out? As long as Manchester United is not listed, don’t they do whatever they want? Even if they are listed, many people are doing the same.”

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Senior Sister Zhenyu, you really look more and more like a Wall Street capitalist!"

"Anyway, I've already made up my mind. It's up to you how to choose you." Zhen Yu stood up and stretched, "If you want me to say, it would be nice if Manchester United's financial report is better. The more beautiful the financial report of Manchester United, the better they will be." Attract the attention and learning of European clubs, so as to follow up Manchester United's strategy and deepen the cooperation with Ziweixing Digital Media."

周不器略作沉吟，缓缓地说：“行，那就这么办。嗯……31层、32层……就两层感觉少了点，还是留出5层吧。28层是办公区，29层、30层、31层、32层都留在咱家用。”

"I'm going back to my room to rest. I'm tired." Zhen Yu yawned and turned to leave.

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi shouted at her back, "Aren't you going to bed?"

"Tomorrow, I've been on a plane for a whole day, and I'll take a good rest first to catch the jet lag." Zhen Yu glanced back at him, "Go and love your little beauty Mai Feixue, her breasts are really big, it's exaggerated."
