Winning the new financial era

Chapter 327 Tottenham Hotspur
"Hello, Mr. Zhang! Thank you for your invitation to the banquet!"

After Beckham approached, he greeted Zhang Yida.

"Hello Mr. Beckham, I saw you play football on TV when I was a child. You have a lot of fans in our country, everyone likes you very much!"

Zhang Yida shook hands with Beckham, and then greeted Victoria, "Hi, Ms. Victoria! I didn't expect you to be more beautiful than the magazines!"

Victoria smiled. Zhang Yida's compliment was very helpful to her, and she also praised:

"Hello, Mr. Zhang! You can really talk! You are also amazing! The youngest Internet tycoon in the world!"

Zhang Yida looked at Cruz again, and said with a smile, "Hello, little Cruz! Your song "If Every Day Was Christmas" is very good. I believe you will become a very good singer in the future!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Cruz laughed, "I will definitely work hard! Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your scooter too. I like this gift very much! I will ride him to school every day."

"Then you must remember to wear a helmet protector!"

Zhang Yida looked at the chubby Little Seventh Princess again, and said with a smile, "Hello, Little Seventh Princess! You are one of the most beloved children in China."

Princess Little Seven's real name is Harper Severn Beckham, and the name Severn is similar to the number "Seven", so she is also called Little Seven.

It is also said that Beckham especially admired the number 7 and gave this number as his daughter's name.

"Hello there!"

Xiaoqi, who was only five years old, was hugged by his father and greeted Zhang Yida in a low voice.

Standing next to Zhang Yida, the little internet celebrity Baby Ariel was a little annoyed at bothering her and Zhang Yida's Beckham family, said hello to Zhang Yida, turned and left.

Cruz wanted to persuade her to stay, but before Baby Ariel turned around and left, he had to watch the girl leave.

Zhang Yida witnessed all of this, and thought to himself, this kid must have inherited his philandering father!I want to pick up girls when I'm only 12 years old!

I remember that in the previous life, this kid was 14 years old and showed affection with his girlfriend on Ins, but fortunately he was in the United States.

In China, believe it or not, you are allowed to stand on the flag-raising platform and read the letter of repentance in front of the whole school.

"Mr. Zhang, I see that both Musical.ly and Green are aggressively entering the European market. Do you want these two companies to become global enterprises?"

Faced with Victoria's question, Zhang Yida admitted: "Yes, we do have this idea, and we are implementing it according to the established plan!"

"That's amazing, you're only 21 years old and you've achieved such impressive business results."

Zhang Yida shook his head and laughed, looked at Beckham and said: "20 years ago, 21-year-old Mr. Beckham represented Manchester United against Wimbledon.

Standing in the middle circle, he kicked a long-distance lob shot. The ball flew halfway across the stadium, and also flew over the opponent's goalkeeper's head, sticking to the lower edge of the crossbar and entering the net!
This ball was rated as one of the most exciting goals since the establishment of the Premier League.

Mr. Beckham also became famous for this goal!Started his Megatron football life!
Therefore, at the age of 21, Mr. Beckham has also achieved remarkable sports achievements. "

Beckham laughed, that goal was really awesome, enough for him to brag about for a lifetime, and it was also the goal that impressed him the most, because it was also the goal that was most mentioned by the media and friends.

"I heard that Mr. Zhang Yida also likes to play football?" Victoria asked.

Zhang Yida didn't expect this woman to know him so well, and said with a smile: "Yes, I used to be a member of the university team. After starting a business, it gradually became useless.

If you don't waste it, you can't become a professional player! "

"Hehe, is it?" Victoria smiled, "If you really become a professional player, then the Internet circle will lose another rich man."

"Mr. Zhang, have you considered buying a football team?"

After asking this sentence, even Beckham looked at his wife in surprise.

The smile on Victoria's face remained undiminished. Judging from her experience, this young rich man must be interested in the football team.

After all, if you become famous at a young age and have hundreds of millions of assets, can you do it without some exciting sports?

Today's rich people like to buy football teams to play, and football, the number one sport, can be used as a brand promotion for the rich.

The best football teams are in Europe, and Zhang Yida's Green and Musical.ly are both entering Europe.

Buying a team and promoting its products not only satisfies the hobbies, but also makes the money more worthwhile.

After Zhang Yida was silent for a while, he said, "I have this idea, but I'm still beyond my powers!"

With a wry smile, he said again: "I'm different from those old-fashioned tycoons, most of my assets are equity in unlisted companies.

The two listed companies are only small-cap stocks and are not large in size, so there are not many liquid assets, and even fewer assets that can be used to acquire the team. "

After hearing this, Victoria smiled even wider, feeling deeply proud of her business sense.

But she heard Zhang Yida's tone, as if the two listed companies were all drizzle.

Just after she saw Zhang Yida's appearance at the banquet, she secretly searched for Zhang Yida using Google software.

I was taken aback by the query, and Google showed that he was the chairman and major shareholder of 10 unicorn companies.

Although she is in the fashion industry, she has also heard of the concept of unicorns, which refer to Internet/technology companies that have been established within 10 years and are valued at more than US$10 billion.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Yida has only 8 unicorn companies, because 2 of them have gone public.

But the media likes to make troubles, so they used two listed companies to make up the numbers. Double-digit numbers are more bluffing than single-digit numbers, and the news is more attractive.

In Victoria's mind, the 10 unicorn companies are valued at at least US$100 billion, and even if they only hold 10% of the shares, they are still a US$10 billion rich man.

The more she looked at the searched news, the more frightened she became, the $300 billion Ruixiang, the $70 billion Douyin, the $60 billion Huimin Travel...

Come on, she found the translated version of the article about Zhang Yida's assets on Huxiu.com some time ago.

She took a look, Zhang Yida's combined company valuation or market value was as high as more than 600 billion US dollars.

She also opened the financial website and looked at the market value of Yimin Wangjin and Yimin Wealth. One was 65 billion U.S. dollars and the other was 25 billion U.S. dollars.

She also checked the shareholding ratio. Zhang Yida holds 47.51% of the former and 33.84% of the latter.

In addition, she also saw that Zhang Yida cashed out more than 6000 million US dollars worth of Yimin Wangjin shares (without deducting investment bank fees) when he went public.

She calculated that Zhang Yidaguang's holdings in these two listed companies, together with the tens of millions of dollars in cash, made his wealth more than 40 billion dollars.

So she encouraged her husband to come and get to know Zhang Yida, maybe they could discuss some cooperation or business.

Even if he doesn't succeed, getting to know such a rich man is still a connection!

"Mr. Zhang, the shares you hold in two listed companies are already worth more than US$40 billion.

This huge wealth is enough to buy any football team in the world.

At present, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Manchester United with the highest valuation or market value are only between more than 20 billion US dollars and more than 30 billion US dollars! "

Zhang Yida laughed, and said to Victoria: "I want to buy these three clubs, but I can't buy them even if I have money!"

Victoria nodded, "Real Madrid and Barcelona are membership systems, and those fans will not sell them even if they kill them.

As far as Manchester United is concerned, the Glazer family has done a good business. They bought Manchester United 11 years ago with 7.9 million pounds, of which only 2.5 million pounds were their own funds, and the rest were all financial leverage.

Manchester United has achieved such good results under such huge loan pressure in those years.This is all thanks to Sir Alex Ferguson!

Manchester United is now a listed company on the New York Stock Exchange, with a market value of $23.2 billion today!
The Glazers are just businessmen through and through. If Mr. Zhang can give them a satisfactory price, I believe they will be willing to sell the club. "

Zhang Yida also likes to play football, so he naturally knows the Glazer family and Manchester United.

What Victoria said is correct, the Glazer family is indeed a vampire lying on Manchester United.

It is also with Ferguson supporting him that Manchester United can survive those difficult times. They have to pay off their debts, sign new players, and keep their results.

As soon as Ferguson retired, Manchester United's performance declined severely, and its market value also shrank severely, plummeting 12 billion pounds a year.

When Zhang Yida was reborn in his previous life, the Saudi tycoon wanted to buy Manchester United for 40 billion pounds, but the Glazer family was still trying to figure it out.

It can be seen that it is greedy!
"Manchester United! The Glazers are so powerful, I don't really want to deal with them.

Although I like Manchester United very much, I can't afford the lion of the Glazer family to open their mouths. "

Beckham smiled wryly. As Ferguson's favorite general, he also has a special affection for Manchester United.

He didn't expect that the reputation of the Glazer family's stinky streets would spread to China.

To be honest, he also hates the Glazer family.I only know how to get money from Manchester United, but I am not willing to invest.

If a local tyrant came to save Manchester United, it would be best to improve the club's financial situation.

However, Zhang Yida's identity as a Chinese made it difficult for him to accept it emotionally.

"In addition to Manchester United, other clubs in the Premier League, if Mr. Zhang is interested in the target, he can also tell me about it.

I have some good friends in English football who might be able to help. "

Beckham smiled and said to Zhang Yida that apart from Manchester United, Zhang Yida wants to acquire other Premier League clubs, and he is still willing to help lead the way.

"I am quite interested in Tottenham!"

Beckham squeezed his chin and said: "The current major shareholder of Tottenham Hotspur is ENIC Group.

The group currently holds 85.55% of the shares of the Tottenham club. The owners are two people of Jewish descent, one is the big boss Joe Lewis who holds 70.6% of the shares, and the remaining 29.4% of the shares are owned by the current club chairman Dan In the hands of Neil Levy.

The big boss Lewis is one of the top ten richest people in the UK and the world's top foreign exchange trader, with a net worth of more than 50 billion pounds.

He is not particularly interested in football, preferring foreign exchange trading and art collecting.

Danny Levy is different, he is an avid fan, ENIC has 5 football clubs besides Tottenham.

At the beginning of his inauguration as the chairman of Tottenham, Levy made three promises: to build Tottenham into a team capable of challenging the highest local and European glory; a brand new training center; and expand the capacity of the home court.

These promises are being fulfilled one by one!

If you want to buy Tottenham, it is not difficult to get Lewis as long as you are willing to bid, but it is difficult to get Levi. "

Beckham still knows Tottenham Club and its chairman very well, and gave Zhang Yida an inventory of the situation one by one.
