Reborn Almighty Life
[0644 chapter] Bright pearl, ask for a monthly ticket and
Xiangjiang, the shining pearl in the modern history of the Chinese Empire, has witnessed the century-old struggle of the Chinese Empire! Even now, the development of Yanjing, Binhai, Yangcheng and Pengcheng is changing with each passing day, but it still cannot replace Xiangjiang's position as China's window to the outside world.
Gu Fei knows that cities in mainland China have gradually replaced the status and functions of Xiangjiang after 2015, but now Xiangjiang is still very beautiful!
Manchester United chose Xiangjiang as the first stop of the team's Asian tour. Firstly, because Xiangjiang has a developed economy and offered a price that Manchester United could not refuse. Secondly, because of Xiangjiang's unique history, the Premier League has a profound influence here!
Since the establishment of the Premier League, Xiangjiang has been the first region in Asia to broadcast the Premier League. It has a large fan base and many celebrities in Hong Kong are fans of the Premier League.
Especially since Gu Fei took over Manchester United, Manchester United's influence in Xiangjiang has increased dramatically. Not only has the ratings increased significantly, but Xiangjiang's political and business celebrities have also frequently appeared in the boxes at Old Trafford!
Although the arrogant and arrogant John Bull regarded Xiangjiang as a remote country, but could not stand up to the wealth of rich people in the countryside, Manchester United could only be a lowly and arrogant head.
In order to invite Manchester United to come to Xiangjiang to participate in the game against the Xiangjiang Football Team, Xiangjiang's sponsors offered an appearance fee of 3 million pounds and related broadcast revenue sharing, which is full of sincerity!
After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Fei and the top management of Manchester United decided to hold the first game of Manchester United's Asia tour in Hong Kong.
Regarding this commercial competition, Manchester United faces it with a relaxed attitude. After all, Hong Kong United is ranked outside the 100th place in FIFA, and there will be many Hong Kong stars joining. Everyone is interested in it.
This is a happy picture.
What Manchester United's superstars need to do is to show their superb skills and exquisite tactical coordination in front of fans in Hong Kong and around the world. In short, just look cool.
For professional football coaches, they are most disgusted with this kind of frivolous commercial competition. Long intercontinental flights and various commercial activities will greatly consume the physical reserves of the players and disrupt the team's preparations. The so-called
Tactical drills are out of the question.
However, no matter how good the team is, it still needs to meet its needs. As the top club in the Premier League and a European giant, Manchester United has great success, but the operating pressure behind it is also huge!
After winning the 'Quadruple Crown' last season, although Manchester United did not have any injuries this summer, they also spent more than 120 million pounds on several players they introduced, while the more than a dozen players they sold were recovered.
The transfer funds are less than 20 million pounds. This means that Manchester United has a net investment of more than 100 million pounds in the transfer market, which is second only to the re-established Real Madrid Galaxy and its next-door neighbor Blue Moon in the entire European football world.
In addition, after Manchester United won the championship, they also significantly increased the salaries of their players. After all, the original salary structure could no longer adapt to the current Premier League. Now, the maximum salary within the Manchester United team has reached 150,000 pounds. Manchester City has disrupted the market after joining the market.
After the market price, Manchester United had to ask Ronaldo and Ronaldo
Neighbors, Ibrahimovic and others have offered a weekly salary of 150,000 pounds, while backbones such as Carrick, Scholes, Vidic and Ferdinand also have a weekly salary ranging from 80,000 to 100,000 pounds.
As for Park Ji-sung, substitutes like Aguero also cost between 50,000 and 60,000 pounds.
Manchester United's wage expenditure alone will reach an astonishing over 100 million pounds in the 2007-2008 season, making it one of the teams with the largest wage expenditure in the Premier League and even the world.
The huge player salary expenditure only accounts for about half of Manchester United's daily costs. The daily operation and maintenance of the Old Trafford stadium, equipment updates and the operation of the Carrington base all require large expenses; and Manchester United's global scouting system
, peripheral product sales and other aspects also require a large amount of money.
Therefore, despite the various bonuses and the increasing number of sponsors after Manchester United won the "Four Crowns", the club's operating pressure is also considerable.
When Xiangjiang offered a high price, the club's top management agreed without even thinking. As for Sir Alex Ferguson's anger, there was no way to release it.
Fortunately, the existence of the 'Flying Boat' allowed Manchester United players to reduce the travel and consumption during the journey, which made the old man feel a little better.
If he were to take an ordinary civil flight to distant Asia to participate in a business competition for the purpose of making money, Sir Alex Ferguson might be so angry that he would suffer a recurrence of his heart disease.
…………
When the "Fei Peng" flew over Xiangjiang and waited for the landing permission from the Xiangjiang International Airport control tower, there were already hundreds of media reporters and thousands of fans in the airport hall waiting eagerly.
This is the first time Manchester United has visited a city outside Manchester after winning the "Quadruple Crown". The reporters and fans in Xiangjiang are naturally honored. Especially this time Manchester United is not sending young players and substitute players to fill up the number, but the team
All the main lineup will be deployed, and superstars such as Gu Fei, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Rooney, etc. will definitely appear in the game, which will undoubtedly make Xiangjiang fans crazy.
Xiangjiang International Airport even arranged staff to maintain order at the scene and provide drinking water for fans. The entire scene was in order.
Therefore, when the Manchester United team walked out of the international tourist channel, they saw fans and media reporters lining the aisle to welcome them.
With warm applause, cheers and a continuous line of snow-white spotlights, Manchester United passed through the crowd and enjoyed the enthusiasm from Hong Kong!
Faced with such a battle, the players of Manchester United were all taken aback. Even Sir Alex Ferguson, who was well-informed, had a new understanding of the madness of the Xiangjiang fans.
In the past, Sir Alex Ferguson only saw the rapid growth of business development results in China in the financial statements, but he never imagined the enthusiasm of Asian fans for Manchester United.
In John Bull's heart, Xiangjiang was still a colony of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and China was still a poor and backward country.
Even though Sir Alex Ferguson was very polite to the Chinese media when he was being interviewed by the media, the Chinese people are quite polite, but the pride of traditional John Bull is still deep-rooted in his bones, even if the current empire that the sun never sets has long since fallen apart and is declining.
At the airport, Ferguson and Gu Fei, captain Gary Neville, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ronaldinho, Rooney and other important members of the team were interviewed by the media, took photos with fan representatives, and presented souvenirs to all fans present.
The special fan meeting has finally come to an end!
As the number of fans and tourists gathered increased, the airport management, who was worried about an accident, quickly asked Manchester United to leave the airport first to avoid continued crowd congestion.
Under the escort of airport security personnel and surrounded by enthusiastic fans, all members of Manchester United boarded the bus at the airport entrance and set off for their hotel.
Due to the time difference, the 'Feipeng' departed at noon Manchester time after a 12-hour long flight. When it arrived in Xiangjiang, it was in the afternoon. After spending some time at the airport, the bus left Xiangjiang International Airport.
The lanterns are on!
Many Manchester United players who knew very little about China stared dumbfounded at the busy traffic and brilliant lights outside the car window. They never thought that Xiangjiang was actually an international metropolis comparable to London!
Although many of Manchester United's famous players are rich men with weekly salaries of tens of thousands of pounds or even hundreds of thousands of pounds, not all of them are top academics, and not all of them have studied well.
Although people like Rooney can speak fluent English, his understanding of the world is not necessarily any better than that of Chinese high school students.
In the impression of this group of players, the economy of Xiangjiang and China is quite backward, and urban construction is not so developed. They are even mentally prepared to endure hardship in Xiangjiang.
When the 'Feipeng' landed at the Xiangjiang International Airport, the airport's advanced facilities, busy flights and the reinforced concrete forest overlooked from the air once made the Manchester United players feel that Xiangjiang provides a good big city.
However, at that time, everyone was thinking that after all, the airport is the face of a city, and it is common sense that the airport and nearby areas should be better constructed.
However, when the bus shuttled through the city that never sleeps in Xiangjiang, everyone was shocked!
"Boss, this is amazing!" Aguero was lying on the window glass, his eyes filled with the bright lights of Victoria Bay in Hong Kong. He said to Gu Fei without looking back: "The night view here is even better than that of the Thames River or near the Tower of London.
Even better looking!”
For Aguero, who was born in a slum, the night view near the Tower of London is the most brilliant night view he has ever seen. It is difficult for him to imagine the charming scene of Victoria Bay in Hong Kong.
After he learned that he was coming to China, people around him said that it was a backward place, and even advised him to make various preparations, as he might not be able to stay there.
But when the beautiful scenery appeared in front of him, Aguero suddenly realized that the rumors were not credible.
The high-rise buildings and colorful neon lights in Victoria Bay form extremely beautiful reflections on the sea, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.
"Xiangjiang is just an ordinary city in the Huaxia Empire. The more you understand the Huaxia Empire, the more you will discover its magic and splendor." A look of pride appeared on the corner of Gu Fei's mouth. In his opinion, Xiangjiang is just an appetizer.
Cai, the next Yangcheng, Binhai and Yanjing will leave a very deep impression on their teammates.
China has not yet entered an era that will amaze the world. After next year's Yanjing Olympics, the whole world will be shocked by China's style, and China's speed will become the main theme of the world in the next ten years. As a person who has experienced it
, Gu Fei was extremely proud in his heart; and now that Gu Fei was able to contribute his own insignificant strength in this process, a feeling of pride spread in his heart.
Compared with the fuss made by Aguero, a silly country boy, other Manchester United members who claimed to be well-informed did not say anything, but what they saw in front of them had already given them a deep shock.
The hotel where Manchester United is staying is located in the core area of Central. It is the super five-star hotel "Star Hotel" under "Uniworld Investment". It is also one of Manchester United's global partners.
In the past two years, as "Universal Investment" has become stronger and stronger, the cooperation method between Gu Fei and Caiman Hotel Group has gradually changed.
In Europe and the United States, Gu Fei is still the number one image ambassador of Caiman Hotels, but in Asia, Caiman Hotels has gradually transferred its hotels to "Universal Investments".
In fact, this is also a common situation encountered by European and American companies. More and more Chinese companies have begun overseas mergers and acquisitions. The rapid development of China's economy has given Chinese companies greater confidence!
The reborn Gu Fei knew very well that with the rapid development of China's economy, commercial real estate and the hotel industry would become a rapidly developing sunrise industry in the 21st century, and Global Investment could not miss this opportunity.
In Gu Fei's view, although real estate speculation is hugely profitable, the negative impact it brings is also not small. If 'Huanyu Investment' wants to develop into a company with a solid position in the Chinese empire and a good sense of social responsibility, it must take an eccentric approach.
But it can't be done.
Gu Fei knows the trend of China's economy, and especially knows that China's tourism industry and official travel industry will expand rapidly. Investing in commercial real estate and high-end hotel industry is a sure profit.
In addition, after 'Star Hotel' became a partner of Manchester United, 'Star Hotel', together with Manchester United's other sponsor Huaxia International Travel Service, provided high-end accommodation and pick-up services for fans who went to Manchester and Europe to watch Manchester United games.
It has a good reputation among the majority of Manchester United fans.
In recent years, more and more Chinese fans have gone to the four Grand Slam tournaments to watch Gu Fei's performances. Star Hotel and Huaxia International Travel Service have also seized various favorable opportunities and achieved groundbreaking development.
The ‘Star Hotel’ in Hong Kong Central was specially decorated to welcome the arrival of Manchester United. Many decorations related to Manchester United were placed inside and outside the hotel. It has become the home stadium of Manchester United.
The hotel held a brief welcome ceremony for Manchester United, and the subsequent welcome dinner made Manchester United even more jubilant.
Of course, in order to maintain their body fat percentage, the team members can only taste many delicacies briefly. After all, the fitness coach is no less terrifying in the team than Sir Alex Ferguson.
For the coaching staff and ordinary staff, top-notch Cantonese food is a delicacy that can only be encountered on weekdays. Now that they can enjoy it, the joy is indescribable.
Sitting in the revolving restaurant on the 68th floor of the Star Hotel, looking at the starry neon lights outside the window and listening to the whistles coming from Victoria Bay, everyone at Manchester United is enjoying themselves extremely.
Although the long journey had disrupted their biological clocks and consumed a lot of physical energy, the surprises they experienced after getting off the plane still lifted everyone's spirits.
Before coming to China, Manchester United's players may have imagined various situations in their minds and even made a lot of psychological preparations. Who knew that after the plane landed, the style of Xiangjiang, the Oriental Pearl, would surprise everyone!
Europeans and Americans don’t know that the era belonging to the Chinese nation has quietly entered!
