Top of the big era

The current Zhoubuqi is the general trend. Not just the Manchester United club, but the balance of the entire international situation is leaning towards him.

Under the economic crisis, whoever has money is the master.

In the U.S. market, Zhou Buqi, through two private equity funds, helped Lao Meila to invest more than 20 billion U.S. dollars from local tycoons in the Middle East. In the United States' grand plan against the Middle East consortium, the funds raised by Zhou Buqi can be ranked in the top five. And he is the only foreigner in the top 10.

Same here in the UK.

If Ziwei Star wants to expand its international business, it must invest in the UK. Now Ninetowns and Changyou are also investing in the game industry in the UK. Ziweixing has opened up a branch in London and has also found an e-commerce platform for financing.

Zhou Buqi even wanted to help the Liberal Democratic Party solve its financial crisis and buy their headquarters building.

These people on the negotiating table are only on the surface.

During this period of time, Zhou Buqi often asked people to help talk to old Mr. Glazer through the network of Pluto Capital. Every conversation is a favor and a pressure.

The tide under the table is the most turbulent.

Even if the Glazer family can cope with Manchester United's current debt crisis through a series of financial means, those are meaningless. Under the general situation, they can only sell Manchester United.

Even San Dezi rebelled!

San Dezi had previously confided in Zhou Buqi, saying that the Glazer family's assessment of Manchester United's price was probably between 1.25 billion pounds and 1.28 billion pounds.

This was the internal discussion plan of the Glazer family when the Thai Chinese consortium offered 1 billion pounds to acquire Manchester United two months ago.

It's only been two months now and prices won't change much.

The Club World Cup is about to start, and with Manchester United's strength, they can easily win the championship. Maybe the Glazer family doesn't want to give up this honor.

In order to make a quick decision and put the honor of the Club World Cup champion in his own pocket, Zhou Buqi even thought about it and was willing to further increase the offer, even reaching 1.3 billion pounds was acceptable.

But during the negotiation, it went extremely smoothly.

After several confrontations, Malcolm Glazer took the initiative to say: "Our reserve price is 1.26 billion pounds."

Zhou Buqi was very happy when he heard that, and exchanged glances with the Goldman Sachs investment consultant. After getting the approval of the other party, he decisively made a decision and said loudly: "No problem, 1.26 billion pounds, that's the deal!"

An agreement was finally reached.

Zhou Buqi will invest 560 million pounds, and will assume all of Manchester United's 700 million pounds of debt, with a total price of 1.26 billion pounds to buy the Manchester United club!

Based on current exchange rates, the total value is as high as $1.45 billion.

On the negotiating table, under the witness of many parties, the agreement was initially signed.

The next step is a multi-party professional team to make a further and more complete contract, and the contract will be formally signed after 3 days.

All parties are happy.

A group of people including the Glazer family also let out a long sigh of relief, and it was finally over.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, the focus of this round of the Premier League will kick off at Old Trafford.

A grand cocktail party was held at noon to celebrate together.

My dad doesn't understand English very well, and Zhu Jun's English is also very average, so he is a bit alone. Almost all the honors and praises were borne by Zhou Buqi alone.

Zhou Buqi didn't care about these things, drank a few rounds with a group of people, and found Zhu Jun, "After a month of hard work, it's finally done."

Zhu Jun raised his wine glass and touched him, "Congratulations!"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Congratulations."

Zhu Jun said, "It's just too expensive."

Zhou Buqi joked: "The only disadvantage of good things is that they are expensive."

Zhu Jun said excitedly: "I'm going to watch the Manchester United game live as the host in a while, and I'm excited just thinking about it."

"Calm down, don't let the British underestimate us."

"No, we can't be worse than Abramovich? The relationship between Britain and Russia is so bad, and Abramovich received a warm welcome at Stamford Bridge."

"That's right." Zhou Buqi nodded, "By the way, you invested 100 million U.S. dollars. In terms of equity allocation, what plan do you want? Separation of debt and stock?"

The acquisition of Manchester United is in the form of cash plus assumed debt, which is US$645 million in cash, plus US$805 million in debt, for a total of US$1.45 billion.

It was agreed a long time ago that Zhu Jun will contribute 100 million US dollars.

There are two distribution schemes here.

If the debt and stock are not separated, it is equivalent to the total value of Manchester United at 645 million U.S. dollars. Zhu Jun invested 100 million U.S. dollars, which can account for 15.5% of the shares. However, he has to bear 15.5% of the US$805 million in debt, which is a US$125 million in debt.

If the debt and stock are stripped, the total value of Manchester United is 1.45 billion U.S. dollars. Then Zhu Jun will only account for 6.9% of the shares if he invests 100 million U.S. dollars. The debt of 805 million US dollars must be borne by Zhou Buqi himself, and has nothing to do with Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun had thought about this problem a long time ago, and he waved his hands again and again, "It's my limit to spend 100 million US dollars. Don't let me take on the debt. Well, Manchester United can't take on the debt. The current Red Devils fans, when it comes to debt Just flustered."

Zhou Buqi also meant the same thing, agreeing: "That's right, newcomers and new atmosphere, Manchester United must go into battle lightly. All debts will be resolved through this acquisition."

Zhu Jun glanced at him, "How is your side? Is the debt pressure of 700 million pounds too big? If the pressure is too big, it's okay to let Manchester United bear part of it."

Zhou Buqi was very relaxed, "No need!"

Zhu Jun said: "Don't be careless. I remember that among these debts, there is a one-year usury loan of 270 million pounds, with an annual interest rate as high as 16.5%. Other loans are easy to talk about. It is best to repay this money as soon as possible."

For the poor, debt is stress.

It's different for the rich, unless it's a usury loan, the more loans you get, the richer you get.

For example, Manchester United's 700 million pounds of debt, except for a usury loan of 270 million pounds, the interest on the remaining 430 million pounds of loans is between 5% and 8%.

There is no need to rush to return it, just follow the contract.

If the huge sum of 430 million pounds is repaid, it will only reduce the interest loss by 5%-8%. If you invest in your own Pluto capital, you can also guarantee a 20% return every year, and you can earn more.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "No problem, I have prepared a total of 1.2 billion US dollars in cash, which is more than enough."

Zhu Jun took a deep breath, and looked at him complicatedly, "It's hidden deep."

Zhou Buqi saw Megan Fox wearing flaming red lips, wearing a low-cut red sequined evening dress, shaking a glass of red wine as red as blood, and walking over enchantingly, he hurriedly said: "Then All right, I'll take on the £700 million in debt."

Zhu Jun laughed and lowered his voice, "This Hollywood star seems to be determined by you."

Zhou Buqi snorted, "She thinks beautifully."

Zhu Jun walked away very appropriately, and Megan Fox came over charmingly, her eyes shining like sapphires, "Zhou, your demeanor at the negotiating table is so charming."

Zhou Buqi raised his wine glass and kept a proper distance, "Thank you."

Megan Fox bit her red lips lightly, and took a step forward, "You are the richest richest friend I know."

Zhou Buqi looked at money like dung, "Money is something outside of the body,"

Megan Fox pursed her lips and smiled: "A rich man is full of charm. I want to date you, can I?"

"I'm very busy, I'm afraid I don't have time."

Zhou Buqi shrugged his shoulders and declined her.

Megan Fox looked a little coquettish, "Zhou, you are perfunctory me."

"No, it's true, really busy."

"what about now?"

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "Now?"

Megan Fox said meaningfully: "It is now 12:45, and there are still nearly 3 hours before the start of the game."

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Then, Miss Transformers, what do you mean?"

"I like this name." Megan Fox giggled for a while, winking her eyes, "Looking for a place, let's do something interesting? I'm a little crazy now, I feel like there are thousands of ants in my body .”

Zhou Buqi still wanted to decline, "That's really a pity."

Megan Fox had no choice but to take another step closer and whispered, "Zhou, don't you want to play with me?"

As soon as he said this, Zhou Buqi's heart seemed to have tens of thousands of ants crawling, itching to death. This Megan is really a goblin! A purebred western fairy!

However, this is the point of the conversation, if you refuse again and again, it will be too ungentlemanly.

She just did herself a favor by showing up at the negotiating table as the representative of American fans. Turning your back on yourself and refusing to recognize anyone, even if the other party asks for a small favor, it is too disloyal.

"Then let's play." Zhou Buqi sighed, very helpless, "Come with me."

Those present are all elites from all walks of life, and they are all the smartest people.

Anyone who is not blind can see what this female star means. There is no need to shy away from it, you can only bite the bullet. Megan Fox didn't care even more, and took his arm affectionately.

Ning Yaxian walked over first, and said in a low voice: "Go to reception room No. 3, my bag is there, there are covers and wet wipes inside."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

Then, San Dezi walked over with a smile, with a very confidant gesture.

Zhou Buqi asked him, "How about No. 3 reception room?"

San Dezi said: "It's a small reception room with three separate small sofas. The location is relatively remote and very warm."

"Well, lead the way."

This is reception room No. 1, which is the largest reception room. As soon as he went out, Zhou Buqi took Megan Fox's hand, fully demonstrating his subjective initiative.

San Dezi was born on Wall Street and has seen a lot of things in the world. He is not surprised. He led the way and said: "I told Ferguson that it is best to take the lead in the first half. The camera cuts to you, to inform the outside world that Manchester United has changed hands. If the performance is not good or the game is lost, forget it."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, let's arrange it. And Zhu Jun, he is the second boss. Prepare a few red scarves for us to wear. In our country, red means prosperity and the new world .”

When we arrived at the small reception room, San Dezi whispered, "I'll be guarding at the door, no outsiders will come over."

Zhou Buqi was very satisfied, "Well, you have worked hard."

Then, I took Megan Fox to the house to be chic.

At this moment, he felt like he had read "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview".

Zhou Buqi himself is Kangxi, even if there is a concubine Yi by his side, all kinds of beauties will inevitably appear around him all the way out.

Megan Fox is Xiaojiabiyu who is sleeping for the emperor and met during the private visit of Weifu.

San Dezi... well, San Dezi is San Dezi.
