American Fortune Life

"Da da da--"

Andy got off the helicopter, and while walking towards the Tottenham management who had already come up not far from the tarmac, he grabbed the hem of the suit that was blown by the wind from the propeller with both hands, and held down the flying He wore a tie, closed the skirt and buttoned it, and gestured gracefully and calmly, with a faint smile on his face, a heroic look between his brows, and a pair of bright and sharp eyes, which made it impossible to look directly at.

"Good morning, boss—"

"boss..."

. . . . . .

"Well, good morning." Andy shook hands with David Dunn with a slight smile on his face. After looking around for a week, he nodded his head, reached out and patted David's arm, and walked quickly past the place where everyone was dodging. The middle road leads to the office building of the White Hart Lane Stadium.

"Is things going well?"

Andy trotted all the way to the staff who pushed the door of the meeting room to him and nodded. He walked into the spacious and bright meeting room first and asked without looking back. Followed by David Deng Eun hurriedly replied, "Everything is going very well."

Andy unbuttoned his suit, then opened the boss chair on the main seat with his hands, sat on the chair chicly, moved forward again, looked up at David Dunn and said, "How do I read the news in the newspaper?" Say, Manchester United offered an annual salary of 10.4 million to renew Ronaldo's contract?" He stretched out his hand and pressed down on the club executives who were already standing around the conference table to signal everyone to sit down.

"The media all write news based on Ferguson's words. However, in this matter, he has no decision-making power at all. He just hopes to use the media to put pressure on Manchester United's management. Unfortunately, this is a money-oriented organization. In the transfer window, the Glazer family's acquisition of Manchester United was a Wall Street-style debt acquisition. Manchester United's debts have reached 437 million pounds. They are overwhelmed by huge debts. How can they refuse the boss's offer? it's over"

David Dunn understands Ferguson's dying struggle very well, but this is a business, and it's not something Ferguson can control if he doesn't want to. The world's highest price in football, let alone the surprise of Manchester United's management, even the party C When Luo heard about it, he secretly and happily waved his boxing movements a few times to vent his excitement and pride.

"Hehe, that's it, let's talk about this later, let's start the meeting—" Andy nodded with a smile, waved his hands, stopped the topic, and signaled the meeting to start.

At the beginning of the meeting, Andy mainly listened to the operation and development of the club during this period, and Tottenham’s income and expenditure have always been based on the balance of income and expenditure. In addition to development funds of US$100 million,

Never invested a penny again, but under the leadership and operation of David Dunn, the Tottenham Club quickly reached financial balance.

Of course, this is not due to David Dunn alone. After the acquisition of Tottenham, in addition to retaining most of the management and letting David Dunn take power, Andy also left a financial team he brought from Wall Street. In the club, such as Ronald Robson, a senior financing expert in the financial industry, the main reason why Andy was in a hurry to rebuild the new stadium before the club had any results was to listen to Advice from this Ronald Robson.

After the working meeting, in the office of the general manager of the club.

"...That is to say, the Josef family, the fans of our club for generations, wants to ask for more compensation, right?" Andy frowned slightly, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, tapping his fingers on the table, watching David Dunn and Ronald, who were sitting opposite, asked calmly.

"Yes. The other party's so-called reluctance to see White Hart Lane being demolished, and their reluctance to move out of White Hart Lane after decades of living are all nonsense." Ronald, the club's financial director, also sneered. , it seems that he doesn't care at all about running into a wall, judging by the expression and tone on his face, it seems that there is a bit of wishful thinking in it.

"Is there any solution?" Andy looked at Ronald lightly and asked.

"We have asked the London government to implement a compulsory acquisition order. The Josef family seems to have decided to drag the matter into the judicial process. Once it enters the judicial process, the lawsuit will enter a long litigation stage, and the start of the stadium project will be delayed for at least another year. Every two years."

The answer this time was club manager David Dunn. It seemed that he was in big trouble with the stadium project and couldn't start it, without any anxiety.

We must know that the longer the investment cycle is dragged on, the greater the loss of Tottenham. The three people present are all the best of the best, and it is impossible not to understand that paying an extra one or two million pounds can greatly reduce the losses caused by the delay of the new stadium, and the difference of one or two million pounds is indeed beneficial to Andy Smith. It is not a fraction of an ordinary investment project. It is absolutely impossible for them to make such a low-level mistake. So, why didn't they approve the funds? No money? Stingy?

Of course not, the reason why they wished to delay the stadium project was that it would be of great benefit to Tottenham and Andy, the big boss.

Tottenham's new stadium project has been included in the core part of the regional development plan by the London City Government and the local district government. Investing in community reconstruction. At present, in addition to the construction project, the valuation of Tottenham Club, which has benefited from this, is already around 400 million pounds. Considering various factors such as engineering investment and future income, the valuation of Tottenham Club may even soar to 800 million pounds.

It has only been more than a year since the acquisition of the Tottenham club for 220 million pounds, and Andy's investment has soared 180 million pounds. It is still against the background of the global financial crisis. This investment case has long been recognized. The British and American investment and sports circles regard it as the most successful investment, and the Premier League has also become a popular investment project for rich people from all over the world.

Of course, Andy didn't want to sell the Tottenham club that hadn't warmed up yet, but delaying the stadium project that already had most of the construction funds would be of great benefit to Tottenham's next financing. And this is also the professional ability of Ronald, the club's financial director, and it is also what Tottenham Club urgently needs at present. The higher it will be, Andy can spend less money to raise more funds,

Once the funds are in place, the progress of the project will naturally accelerate. After Tottenham's new stadium is built, the club will enter another new stage. Until then, balance of payments will continue.

However, because of the waywardness of the big boss Andy, he put forward an order to transfer Ronaldo at a sky-high price. Yes, after the boss "forced" the club to borrow another 150 million pounds from him personally, the money Tottenham will earn in the future, let alone paying taxes, must first pay off the debt of Andy, a big creditor.

Fortunately, in today's football, Ronaldo himself is also one of the top "money-absorbing machines". The Portuguese has a very good personal image and outstanding personal achievements, which makes him the darling of businesses. As long as the results of Tottenham Club are good, Ronaldo will get 40% of his personal portrait rights when he joins. As long as the club recruits more top brands in different fields to sponsor him, it will not only make him the most profitable in football Players can also make the club a lot of income.

Therefore, the incident that caused a lot of noise in London and the postponement of the White Hart Lane stadium project mocked by many Premier League clubs was simply because Tottenham were not active. Otherwise, let alone Andy Smith, the big boss, came out. The thorny management can easily get rid of those few nails. It's really fast, and it can really teach them how to behave in minutes.

It's just that Andy, the owner of Tottenham and the executives of the club, is not thinking about the new stadium at all. In a word, the new stadium is just a means, not an end.
