Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi was convinced by Shi Jinglin.

In the past few days since coming to the UK, Mai Feixue has indeed undergone some obvious changes. Her demeanor, tone, eyes and body movements when talking to Boss Zhou can't help but feel a little strange.

However, this is not the point.

It is the positioning of Douglas Merrill, the president of Ziweixing Digital Media.

Zhou Buqi thinks it's pretty accurate.

Yes, there is no need to touch him.

No matter what, Ziweixing Digital Media is going to be listed. This is the greatest success.

This is different from Boss Zhou's reorganization of Changyou's board of directors and management. Changyou has already completed its listing, and its stock price broke early, which put it under great pressure in the capital market.

In addition, Zhou Buqi needs to have a new layout for Changyou and carry out a series of broader big actions, which requires some game talents with a broad international vision.

In other words, Changyou needs to make major adjustments at the strategic and business levels, so it needs to adjust its personnel.

Ziweixing Digital Media neither adjusts its strategy nor its business, so why should it make too big an adjustment? Let’s go public safely first.

As for the future, Ziweixing Digital Media may expand its business from football to other sports fields, or even transform its business and explore the sports streaming live broadcast industry... These are big moves.

Let’s wait until later.

For the time being, I'm quite satisfied.

Zhou Buqi suppressed his contempt for Douglas Merrill, and the next day, he took him and a few core people to Manchester together.

Go negotiate with Manchester City.

This is a big order brokered by Boss Zhou personally.

Go make money from wealthy bosses in the Middle East!

For Ziweixing Digital Media, it is not just as simple as making money, but also has a greater meaning.

Or maybe it’s very comfortable to talk about cooperation with the wealthy people in the Middle East, and it’s much more pleasant than talking about business with Americans or Europeans. When talking to wealthy people in the Middle East, as long as you are humble and friendly and give them enough face, everything about money will be easy to discuss!

Manchester City is a tool for them.

It is a stepping stone for the UAE's national capital to enter Europe, and it wants to expand the country's international influence through football.

As long as it is conducive to the country's grand strategy, there is no need to worry about trivial matters.

The cooperation between Manchester City and Ziweixing Digital Media is very important.

Previously, if Ziweixing Digital Media launched some new technology products, they would often use Manchester United as a pilot, and use Manchester United's influence to extend to European football.

More or less alone.

If Manchester City joins, it can make a big difference.

Especially when Manchester City grows up in the future and becomes a super giant that can compete with Manchester United, Ziweixing Digital Media's demonstration point will become the two giants Manchester United and Manchester City, and its appeal and influence will be greatly increased.

Zhou Buqi and Mansour took the lead and the two sides met.

The negotiations went very smoothly.

It only took less than 2 hours to reach a large order worth 180 million pounds, with a contract period of 6 years.

Within the next six years, Manchester City's official website, fan community, fan membership, digital audio and video, high-tech training equipment, big data analysis software, scouting database and many other football technology-related fields will be handled by Ziweixing Digital Media.

Just like Manchester United.

What terms have been reached between Manchester United and Ziweixing Digital Media? Manchester City is also following up.

Chief Mansour has a great talent and a great strategy, and he wants to build Manchester City into a wealthy club on the same level as Manchester United. The first thing to do is to keep up with the infrastructure.

Zhou Buqi even suggested that Mansour could start Manchester City's documentary project and film one season every season to record Manchester City's growth years, just like Manchester United did.

Mansour agreed immediately.

In other words, Zhou Buqi easily secured another indefinite order for Netflix and Ziweixing Global.

It was a pleasure to work with.

The morning of this trip to Manchester went smoothly and was very enjoyable.

Then it depends on the afternoon.

The third round of the Premier League this season is another focus battle. Manchester United faces the visiting Arsenal at home.

Whenever there is a Manchester United home game, the city of Manchester is like celebrating the New Year. Many game posters are spontaneously posted in many streets and restaurants to remind everyone to pay attention to Manchester United's games.

Especially after Manchester United crushed Tottenham with an absolute advantage in the last game and won 3:0, fans are full of expectations for this game.

This is a real strong dialogue. Let’s see if the young Klopp can withstand it!

Zhou Buqi did not go to the training base to visit the coaching staff and the team. Instead, he went to the stadium and attended a financial meeting first.

Manchester United's financial report for last season has been audited and screened and finally finalized.

No doubt, number one in Europe!

Commercial revenue, £298 million;

Matchday revenue, £105m;

Broadcasting rights income, £222 million.

Total revenue, £625 million.

Among them, the growth of commercial income reached 37%, which made Manchester United's financial report this season very impressive, with net profit reaching 170 million pounds.

However, high profits require too much tax, which is not cost-effective.

This is the gray area of ​​football.

Doing the accounting is sneaky.

Investments in building buildings and renovating stadiums can be included in expenses, including player transfers.

For example, this summer Manchester United invested 90 million pounds in the transfer market and earned 64 million pounds.

It's easy to do the accounting.

Count the investment into last season's expenses and the income into next season's income.

In this way, the net profit of last season can be significantly reduced.

You don't have to pay too much income tax.

However, the accounts can be settled, but the money will not disappear. Now that the club has so much money, what should it do with it? If you don’t spend it next season, you have to find a way to transfer the profits to the next season...

Just like after the introduction of the Financial Fair Play Act, some clubs have to find ways to keep accounts in order not to violate the rules. They have to hide the losses this season and put the losses on the books for the next season. In the next season, if the losses are extended to the next season, it will be like a Ponzi scheme until it can no longer be covered up and eventually it will be punished.

The difference is that others are losing money and Manchester United is making a profit.

In order not to turn so much money into profits and pay taxes, we must find ways to spend the money.

How to spend it?

It is a strategy to increase the salary and renew contracts of core players to improve team cohesion; or to spend money to buy players in the transfer market to enhance the team's strength.

But who to buy?

The current Manchester United team is already the "best team" unless they buy players like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Iniesta, and Ramos, but this is almost impossible.

You have to think back and see how you want to spend the money.

Next, it is more important to pay attention to Manchester United's game.

Yesterday afternoon, there was a hearty game in the Premier League. Manchester City challenged Tottenham away, and the result was a 5:1 bloodbath!

The "Manchester City duo" are taking turns to train Tottenham.

Manchester City's performance was so impressive, and now it's Manchester United's turn.

At 3:30 pm, the game started.

Just as the outside world expected, it was indeed a battle.

The offensive wave is getting higher and higher. This ball is so enjoyable to watch!

Although there has been no goal, the home fans at Old Trafford are already excited. Everyone has to admit that the current Manchester United's style of play is more beautiful and smoother than that of Ferguson's era.

Finally, at the 22nd minute of the game, the deadlock was broken.

Van Persie overwhelmed the Gunners' weak defense and scored with a header to give Manchester United the lead.

Five minutes later, Walcott fell in the penalty area and created a penalty kick for Arsenal. Unfortunately, he failed to score the penalty, which dealt another blow to the Gunners' morale.

Two minutes later, Bell scored his first goal of the season. His long shot from outside the penalty area changed the score to 2:0.

In the 41st minute of the game, Manchester United got a free kick in the frontcourt. Rooney took the free kick and broke the net directly. Manchester United's lead expanded to 3:0.

Before the end of the first half, Arsenal's Theo Walcott scored a point from a small angle in the penalty area.

However, the "Little Tiger" goal failed to restore the Gunners' decline.

In the second half, Manchester United completely controlled the game.

The scene of the game was just like that of "Team Cosmos" Barcelona. They completely controlled the field and turned it into a crushing game. The fans at the scene were mesmerized. It was so exciting! Bravo!

In the 67th minute, Rooney sent an assist to help Van Persie score a goal with a single shot, completing his brace.

4:1!

Manchester United began to make substitutions and let the substitutes feel the game. In the 68th minute of the game, Park Ji-sung and Ryan Giggs came on as substitutes, replacing Bale and Robin van Persie, putting Rooney up front from the right.

After the substitution, Manchester United's offense did not slow down at all.

In the 70th minute of the game, Park Ji-sung, who had just come on the field, cooperated with Giggs and scored with a low shot from the left rib of the penalty area.

5 minutes later, Manchester United got another free kick opportunity. Rooney took the penalty and the ball scored again!

6:1!

This was not over yet. In the 82nd minute of the game, Marcelo broke into the penalty area and fell down, winning a penalty kick. Rooney made a penalty kick and completed a hat trick.

7:1!

Arsenal then seized the opportunity during a counterattack and scored a face-saving goal.

But only two minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback!

In the 91st minute of the game, the 10th goal of the game came.

Giggs, who came on as a substitute, provided another assist. Bastian Schweinsteiger scored a curve ball into the far corner, 8:2!

Old Trafford is going crazy!

That momentum is really scary.

Fortunately, after Zhou Buqi became the owner of Manchester United in the past few years, he spent a lot of money on the renovation, renovation and building strengthening of the stadium. Otherwise, such an earth-shaking scene would really worry that the stadium would be trampled. collapse.

8:2, which is the largest point difference and the most goals scored in a single game in the history of the two teams. It is also the most painful defeat in Arsenal's 115-year history. It is also the biggest defeat in Wenger's 15 years of coaching Arsenal.

This is awesome.

Klopp stepped on the shoulders of coach Wenger and stood on the green field after the game, accepting the cheers of the crowd like a returning king.

Become famous in one fell swoop!

It can be regarded as winning face for Boss Zhou who has great hopes for him.
