In one of the most prestigious Italian restaurants in New York, Feng Yu and the four of them sat together, eating and chatting. Although the Li brothers have been taught since childhood to try not to talk during mealtimes, they still don't pay that much attention when spending time with friends.
Well, maybe it has something to do with the fact that both Feng Yu and Kirilenko like to chat.
Li Zeju is a person who is good at chatting. He knew that Kirilenko invested in basketball and recently heard that he was targeting football clubs in Europe, so he started chatting about sports with Kirilenko.
This year happens to be the year of the Olympics, and the whole world is paying more attention to sports events.
"Kirilenko, I heard that your basketball team started to make a profit after two years of operation, and won the NBA championship. It's really surprising."
"Ah hahaha, it's nothing to me. Feng Ke started making profits in one year and won the championship earlier than my team. But now, my team makes more money than his team. Even though his team is in Los Angeles, my team is in New York!"
There's one less championship, but ticket prices are higher in Brooklyn. Although Los Angeles is also prosperous, there are too many young actors pursuing their dreams, and the number of wealthy people is still incomparable to New York.
"Kirilenko, I heard that you are planning to buy a football club in Europe. There are many reports in the news." Li Zekai followed suit.
"I found that sports clubs are still very interesting. They can make money and have great influence. They can also promote their company's brand. They serve multiple purposes. However, after talking about several teams, it didn't work. Either they refused to sell or they refused to sell. They only agreed to sell part of the equity. Just kidding, how much money do those people have, why should they be the major shareholders?"
When Kirilenko said this, there was disdain in his eyes. He is the richest man in Europe, why should the club be managed by someone inferior to him? If someone else can hold a controlling stake in his company, it must be someone like Feng Yu!
Ordinary little rich man, hey~~
"Brother Ji, do you really like running a football club?" Feng Yu asked.
"Let's play. Why, are you interested too? How about you give me some advice? Which team do you think is better? Spend more money and I'll buy it too!" Kirilenko's eyes suddenly widened when he saw Feng Yu's attitude. One light.
"Which team do you personally prefer to buy, or which country's club? Let me remind you that many sports clubs in Europe not only have football, but also include basketball, volleyball and other sports events. Even football clubs , and there must be not only men’s teams, but also women’s teams, and subordinate youth football teams, etc.”
Feng Yu didn't lie about this. When Feng Yu heard about the Bayern Munich basketball team for the first time in his previous life, he was completely confused.
Bayern... is it basketball
Later I learned that many of these large European sports clubs are comprehensive, but most of them are relatively famous for football.
Moreover, the club must not only have a men's team, but also a women's team. In fact, the women's team does not make money, and the youth team can also train the future, but it is said to prevent those women from protesting against their discrimination.
Anyway, Feng Yu thinks this is a bit unreasonable. No one watches your women's football, the broadcasts can't be sold, the tickets can't be sold, and the stars have no advertising income. It's a complete burden. Moreover, the club has nothing to do with the country or anything like that. It cannot be said to be cultivating talents for the country.
But that's the rule there, and Feng Yu can't do anything about it. But this also has the advantage of ensuring that many women's events will not disappear.
Of course, you can also purchase the football club shares separately, but in this case, there will be some restrictions on team management and other aspects. In fact, this is actually the most cost-effective way, and you can abandon some projects that will definitely lose money.
But the other party is not a fool. If the most valuable football club is sold, can the rest be sold? Can you still make money
In the future, football will always be the most valuable team in the world's market value rankings. Then there are baseball and basketball. As for the others, they don’t rank at all.
The current market value of sports clubs is not very high, or in other words, the current sports events have not yet reached the era of explosive popularity. After two years, the team's jersey sponsorship, TV and online broadcast rights and other prices have hit new highs, and the players' values have also been rising. That's when the team's market value rises the fastest.
Buying a team now and selling it ten years later can be considered a good investment. Ten years is enough time for the market value of a good team to increase tenfold.
"Feng, I definitely don't buy that kind of comprehensive club, I just buy football clubs. I prefer German and British clubs. Do you have any recommendations?"
Feng Yu shrugged: "You think too highly of me, and I'm not particularly good at football. Especially those teams, which have deep heritage and influence, it's not easy to buy them. If it's a premium price, , and it’s not cost-effective. My personal suggestion is that you should just invest in it, but after you invest, you can ask to run for the chairman of the team’s board of directors. I think in terms of your influence, no one else can compete with you. ?”
The chairman of the team's board of directors should also consider this person's ability and influence. With Kirilenko's reputation as the richest man in Europe, his influence must be the highest in the club. Those other shareholders want to make money and support Kirilenko as a facade, which is a very rational choice.
Of course, if they knew Kirilenko's unreliable management ability, they might not agree.
Moreover, some football clubs are membership-based, which means that the shareholders are members. They issue stocks but do not list them on the market. The stocks are private and enjoy dividend rights. There are also clubs where the head coach is responsible. This is the case in some British football clubs.
What Feng Yu meant was that Kirilenko could invest in such a club and become the largest shareholder without holding a controlling stake. If representatives from those members were to elect, Kirilenko would have a high chance of becoming the team's chairman.
The important thing is that you don't need to spend a lot of money, maybe not even 100 million US dollars, to control the team.
Feng Yu had originally considered setting up a football team in Europe, which would also allow Chinese players to go out and exercise. But he gave up later because he found that it was difficult to support Chinese football, and the attitude of the players was a big problem.
Feng Yu explained some things, and Li Zeju also smiled and said that he is also a member of a football club and a small shareholder. If Kirilenko is willing, he can help introduce and let Kirilenko invest in this football club. It happens that this football club is also German and meets Kirilenko's requirements.
The name of this football club is Bayern Munich!
If the investment is successful, Kirilenko will become one of the most famous sports tycoons in the world.
