Top of the Great Era

Zhen Yu has long been concerned about the bankruptcy of the Los Angeles Dodgers, which is a major event in the California sports circle.

In fact, last year, the wind came out.

The owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers doesn't want to play anymore and wants to sell the team.

But for a team of this level, the price is too high.

Looking at the 30 teams in the entire American Baseball League, the first team is the New York Yankees, and the second may be the Los Angeles Dodgers.You can't eat it without spending a lot of money.

In recent years, the sports market in Los Angeles has been sluggish.

But it's not just the Los Angeles Dodgers who are in trouble, the Los Angeles Galaxy has also released a bankruptcy signal, the performance of the Los Angeles Lightning has declined, and the Los Angeles Lakers have gradually declined.

This has caused many big investors to worry.

In recent years, the American sports industry has been affected by the economic crisis and has declined overall.However, after a few years to get rid of the economic crisis and really come out, the sports industry will be powerful.

Take the NBA, for example, with an annual revenue of just over US$30 billion.But after the economic recovery and the vigorous development of the sports industry, the annual revenue will soon reach 100 billion US dollars.

Of course, this is related to the referee control strategy formulated by the new head of the NBA, which greatly improves the viewing and excitement of the game.The so-called "field control strategy" means that when a strong team competes with a weak team, it is necessary to favor the weak team, so that the game is always in a situation of anxiety, see-saw, and fierce confrontation.

In this way, the game will be exciting, and fans will be willing to pay more for it.

The Premier League's ability to stand out from the European football and start a money-absorbing model largely borrowed from this sports ethics, abandoning fairness and justice, and focusing on creating exciting games.There are many royal referees who specialize in whistle-blowing focus games and have rich field control experience. The more intense the championship competition, the fiercer the competition for the top four, and the fiercer the competition for relegation, the more fans and audiences will pay.

Zhou Buqi is the boss of Manchester United. As an insider, he has already felt the rise of the Premier League and the field control strategies behind the Premier League.

The Premier League can crush the whole of Europe just by learning a little from American sports, which makes Zhou Buqi full of confidence in the American sports industry.

Confidence in the Los Angeles Dodgers, too.

Difficulties are short-lived, and the future is bright.

Now is the best time to buy the bottom.

At present, the only one who has publicly expressed interest and wants to acquire the Los Angeles Dodgers with great fanfare is the legendary star "Magic" Johnson of the Lakers.

But he is a pauper, and his total net worth is only 1 million US dollars, so he can only find a way to find an external partner.

This gave Zhou Buqi a chance to cut through the mess quickly.

Zhen Yu was a little worried, "Will it cost a lot of money?"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi glanced at her and said easily, "Don't worry, this investment is definitely a good deal. Not only is it a cost-effective financial investment, but it is also an investment in brand and social status."

Zhen Yu asked a very crucial question, "What about the money? If you want to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers, you may need to prepare 20 billion US dollars."

"It's a bit expensive, but it's understandable." Zhou Buqi nodded, "If you're short of money, you can take a loan. Next year, our family will be under great financial pressure?"

Zhen Yu said with a headache: "According to the current situation, the annual dividends of Pluto Capital and Neptune Capital should be gone, but they can get about 2% of the management fee. After removing all expenses, it is estimated that there will be a surplus of 1.5 million US dollars. We have to raise the rest of the money ourselves. Jieyu Media sold 3.5 million U.S. dollars in stock, and Jieyu Media and Taizun Real Estate repaid 9 million U.S. dollars, which can be credited in January next year. There are some balances on the books now, and it is estimated that by next year, the total funds will be about 1 billion US dollars, but the expenses are also large..."

"Let's go back to the study to discuss the account analysis." Zhou Buqi interrupted her, "Didn't you borrow another 10 billion US dollars this year, and part of it was used for real estate. You took 5 million US dollars to invest in European bonds, etc. When the target line is reached, sell the European bonds.”

"That's not enough."

A bit of timidity flashed in Zhen Yu's eyes.

Now, the total loan scale of the Zhou family has reached 56 billion US dollars.Loan another $20 billion to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers?Debt pushed up to $76 billion?
Such a large amount of debt on the shoulders, the pressure is really great!
The interest expense alone is $5 million a year.

Zhou Buqi said lightly: "Just such a small amount of loans, our family can't afford it? Now is the end of the economic crisis, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities to buy bottoms in the market. At this time, the more loans you have The more cost-effective."

Zhen Yu was very helpless, "That's what you said, you don't care about finances. Just now Aunt Xue asked me how much money was owed on the family account, and said that she had secretly saved some money over the years. I didn't dare to talk to her To be honest, I was afraid of scaring her."

Zhou Buqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "As for it."

Zhen Yu rolled her eyes at him, "Don't use your standards to judge us, okay? I'm just a little woman, and I don't want to be burdened with so many debts and be out of breath."

Zhou Buqi looked at the happy appearance of Senior Sister Zhenyu holding the child in her arms, and pondered for a while.

He has already made a plan. Next, Zhen Yu and Shi Jinglin will conceive a child together.If you're pregnant, it's not good to worry about money.

"By the way, do we still have a Facebook stock?"

"Ah."

"how many?"

"A lot, about..." Zhen Yu thought for a while, "About 2% of the total share capital."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "It just so happens that if you sell all these stocks, you can probably get back 20 billion US dollars. Don't you have the Los Angeles Dodgers?"

A few years ago, Ziweixing and Facebook launched a wave of close cooperation.

He also personally invested 2.3 million US dollars and got a 2.27% stake in Facebook.After several rounds of dilution, there are still 2% left. Taking advantage of Facebook's upcoming IPO, just cash out these stocks.

This wave of investment is very profitable, with a 10-fold return.

Zhen Yu was slightly reluctant, "Sell them all?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Sell it, there is no need to twist with Zuckerberg. In order to let Ziweixing reduce its holdings of Facebook stock, he sent me dozens of emails. Send him a favor, and send our personal The stocks were also sold."

Zhen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "It should be withdrawn gradually. There will be more and more competition between Ziweixing and Facebook. It is not appropriate to hold so many shares of competitors, and it will easily lead to speculation from the outside world."

The main reason is that by cashing out Facebook shares, the financial pressure on the family can be greatly reduced.

As the chief housekeeper of the Zhou family, Zhen Yu was afraid that the family finances would collapse under her own management.

Zhou Buqi said: "Facebook's IPO will have to wait until next year, let's get a loan first, and quickly find a team to communicate with the Los Angeles Dodgers to buy the team, so as not to have long nights."

Zhen Yu suggested: "Should I find a partner? Just like the Warriors."

Zhou Buqi said: "It's all right, you can figure it out. Well... don't look for someone like 'Magic' Johnson."

Zhen Yu asked, "Why can't he?"

Zhou Buqi snorted coldly and said, "He has a bad style. He has slept with hundreds of thousands of women. He got AIDS, so he restrained himself a little. I am not the same as him!"

Just in time, seeing Aunt Xue passing by the door of the toy room, Zhou Buqi hurried over.

"Aunt Xue!"

"what's up?"

Aunt Xue subconsciously took two steps back, looking left and right, as guilty as a thief.

Zhou Buqi winked, hooked his hands at her, "Come here."

"what?"

Aunt Xue became more and more vigilant.

Zhou Buqi ran the train with his mouth full, "It hurts you."

"How can you love a woman like this?" Aunt Xue gritted her teeth angrily, looked around again, and lowered her voice, "You're almost there. If someone finds out, what should I do?"

Zhou Buqi suggested, "Then go to your room?"

Aunt Xue gave him a hard look, and said in a low voice, "I'll go first, and you'll come back in a few minutes. Be careful when you come, don't let people see you."

Although there are many people in the family, the house is super big.

It's not too difficult to avoid other people's eyes.

After a while, Zhou Buqi slipped to Aunt Xue's door and knocked lightly.After knocking once, the door was quickly opened, and then Aunt Xue stretched out her hand and pulled him into the room.

Move quickly, for fear of being seen.

As soon as she entered the room, Aunt Xue said angrily, "I'll just play for you for 5 minutes, and stop for me when the time is up. I'm going to the kitchen. It takes too long to disappear, and it will be misunderstood."

Zhou Buqi was slightly taken aback, "What are you playing?"

Aunt Xue said angrily, "Okay, stop pretending, anyway, I'll just stand here for five minutes, hurry up, I'm going to make a nutritious meal for Baoshan later."

"So straightforward this time?" Zhou Buqi was surprised, a little funny, "It seems that you don't have to be soft and hard every time to take advantage of it."

Aunt Xue snorted, "I'm in a hurry, there are still 4 minutes left."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "I just want to tell you, after a while... Next month, I will find a chance to hold a wedding with Baoshan. If you are free, you can go with her to see Wedding dress."

"Ah?" Aunt Xue's beautiful eyes are shining, and there is an unconcealable surprise between her brows, "Really? Are you coaxing me?"

"Why coax you? Really!"

Zhou Buqi explained his plan again, he wanted to borrow a private island, and hold a simple wedding in a closed place with his family behind closed doors.

But even so, it was enough to make Aunt Xue happy and happy.

She has never worn a wedding dress in her life.

She would love to see her daughter in her wedding dress.

After talking about this matter, Zhou Buqi opened the door, "Just this matter, nothing else, go and make a nutritious meal for Baoshan."

Aunt Xue was very happy, a smile flashed across her brows, and she praised: "It's okay this time, you performed well, and you will be like this in the future, don't touch a woman when you see it..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that bastard kid approaching, stretched out a finger and pulled down the strap, looked inside, and then wanted to touch it with his hand.

"It's really not exaggerated." Aunt Xue was angry, annoyed and funny, and patted his hand to stop him, "It's not like I haven't seen anything that looks good."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Aunt Xue, let's take a couple bath when you are free?"

"You are beautiful!"

Aunt Xue reached out and pinched his waist, then left the bedroom and went to the kitchen. Thinking of her daughter's happy life, her heart was full of joy and her steps were brisk.
