In New York's most famous Italian restaurant, Feng Yu and the other three were chatting while eating. Although the Li brothers were taught not to talk during mealtimes, they are not particular about it when they are with friends.
Hmmm … maybe it's because Feng Yu and Kirilenko like to chat.
Li Zeju is good at chatting. He knew Kirilenko had invested in basketball and recently heard that he had set his sights on a football club in Europe. That's why he started chatting with Kirilenko about sports.
This year is the Olympic Games, and the whole world is paying attention to these sports events.
"Kirilenko, I heard that your basketball team started to make profits after two years of operation, and you even won the NBA championship. That's amazing."
"Ah hahaha, this is nothing to me. Feng started making profits within a year and won the championship earlier than my team. But now, my team is making more money than his team. His team might be in LA, but my team is in New York! "
Although there is one less championship, the ticket prices in Brooklyn are higher. Although LA is prosperous, there are too many young actors and actresses chasing their dreams. The number of wealthy people in LA cannot be compared to New York.
"Kirilenko, I heard that you are going to Europe to buy a football club. The news had reported about this a lot." Li Zekai also said.
"I felt that sports clubs are interesting and can make money. They are influential and can also promote my company's brand. But I had discussed with a few teams, and all of them are not good. They either refuse to sell, or they only agree to sell a portion of their shares. What a joke. How can those people be the major shareholders? "
When Kirilenko said this, his eyes were filled with disdain. He is Europe's richest man, and why can he let someone else manage his club? Only someone like Feng Yu can own the controlling stake in his company!
An ordinary tycoon … …
"Brother Ki, do you really like to manage a football club?" Feng Yu asked.
"Of course. Why? Are you interested? Why don't you give me some suggestions? Which team do you think is better? Spend more, and I will also buy it! "Kirilenko saw Feng Yu's attitude and brighten up.
"Which team or country's club do you personally prefer to buy? Let me remind you that there are many sports clubs in Europe that not only have football, but also basketball, volleyball, and many other sports. Even if it's a football club, it doesn't just have a men's team. It also has to have a women's team and a youth football team. "
Feng Yu wasn't lying. When Feng Yu first heard about Bayern Munich in his previous life, he was dumbfounded.
Bayern … Is it basketball?
It was only later that he found out that many of these large European sports clubs were integrated, but most of them were more famous for their football.
Moreover, the club not only needed to have a men's team, but also a women's team. In fact, the women's team did not make money, and the youth team could also cultivate the future, but it was said that it was to prevent the women from protesting against their discrimination.
In any case, Feng Yu felt that this was a little unreasonable. No one watched women's football, the broadcast could not be sold, the tickets could not be sold, and the star players did not have any advertising income. They were a complete burden. Furthermore, the club had nothing to do with the country. It couldn't be said to be nurturing talents for the country.
But this was the rules in Europe, and Feng Yu could not do anything about it. But there were benefits to this. It was to ensure that many women's competitions would not disappear.
Of course, one could also buy the shares of the football club. But this way, the management of the football club would be restricted. This was the best way to get rid of some of the loss-making projects.
But the other party was not stupid. If they sold the most valuable football club, can the rest of the clubs be sold? Can they still make money?
In the future, the most valuable sports in the world will always be football. Baseball and basketball will be the next. As for the rest, they were not ranked.
Currently, the value of the sports clubs was not high, or it should be said that the current sports industry had not reached the peak. In another two years, the value of the team's jersey sponsorship, TV and internet broadcasting rights will reach new highs, and the value of the players will increase. That will be the time when the value of the teams will increase the fastest.
Buying a team now and selling it 10 years later was a good investment. 10 years was enough for the value of a football team to increase by 10 times.
"Feng, I will not buy those comprehensive football clubs. I will only buy football clubs. I prefer German and English football clubs. Do you have any recommendations? "
Feng Yu shrugged his shoulders. "You think too highly of me. I am also not good at football. Especially those football teams. They have deep foundations and influence, and it will not be easy to buy them. It is also not worth it to buy them at a premium. My personal suggestion is for you to invest in the club. But after you invest, you can run for the chairman of the board of directors. I believe no one can beat you with your influence. "
The chairman of the board of directors also needs to consider this person's ability and influence. Kirilenko was Europe's richest man, and his influence in the club will be the highest. The other shareholders want to make money and support Kirilenko to be the face of the club.
Of course, if they knew about Kirilenko's unreliable management skills, they might not agree.
Also, some football clubs use membership systems, and the shareholders are the members. These clubs issue shares but are not listed. The shares are owned by private individuals, and the shareholders are entitled to dividends. Some clubs have a head coach in charge. Some football clubs in the UK are like this.
Feng Yu wants Kirilenko to invest in these clubs and become the biggest shareholder. He does not need to hold the controlling stake and can let the club's members vote for him. Kirilenko will have a high chance of becoming the chairman of the football club.
Most importantly, Kirilenko does not need to spend a lot of money. Maybe less than 100 million USD, and he can control the football club.
Feng Yu had thought of setting up a football team in Europe and let Hua Xia and the rest of the players train. But in the end, he gave up because he realized it was hard to improve Chinese football. The attitude of the players was a big problem.
Feng Yu explained, and Li Zeju laughed. He is also a member of a football club and is a minor shareholder. If Kirilenko is willing, Li Zeju can introduce him to this football club. This football club is also from Germany and fits Kirilenko's requirements.
This football club is called Bayern Munich!
If Kirilenko invests in this club, he will become one of the world's most famous sports tycoons.
