Chapter 1649 Old Friend
The trip to the Middle East was a bit traumatizing, so much so that Zhou Buqi abstained from sex for five or six days in a row before he could cleanse his mind and cleanse his scarred mind from the ugly scenes he saw in Abu Dhabi.
My sister has returned to China.
You can play during the summer vacation, but you can't just play. You still have to go back to Jieyu Media for an internship. Even if it is an internship, she will not be given any hard work, and the same will be true when she returns to the capital. On weekends, she can also go to Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Israel and other places close to each other.
Zhou Buqi went to London.
I went to Cambridge University and met a guy named Lang Weiyi. He was Zhou Buqi’s senior and graduated from the Business Administration Department of Bei Ke Ke in 2005.
He was one of the early participants in the school network.
They are considered to be the core members of Guo Pengfei's staff, mainly responsible for publicity and sponsorship. However, his family situation is very good, and he has not encountered any special changes, so there is no need to risk being fired to work full-time. If he follows the normal path of studying, taking postgraduate entrance examinations, and studying abroad, he can steadily become a People are on top.
So he's been working part-time.
Later, I went to Peking University to study for a master's degree. I had to study hard in English and take the TOEFL exam, and there were even fewer opportunities to work for the campus network.
According to Guo Pengfei, if he had been bolder in 2004 and just come out to work hard with everyone and build the school network together... maybe he would be an M5-level executive now.
He chose the wrong path, so that when he chose a career, he had to start from scratch.
However, recently, Lang Weiyi contacted Guo Pengfei. He knew that Ziweixing had a branch in London, and he also graduated with a PhD from Cambridge, so he wanted to go back to work at Ziweixing.
It's not about returning to China, it's about finding a job here in London.
I guess I was too embarrassed to go back and meet the friends from Ziweixing who had jointly founded the school network.
Those people back then, like Guo Pengfei, were already senior vice presidents of M7, and there were a lot of other mid-level managers in M4 and M3. If he goes back now, what position can he have?
A PhD graduate with little work experience, even if he has a past resume, would have to start from M1, which would be too embarrassing.
It’s better to stay in London and start from scratch!
Moreover, his girlfriend is British, and if possible, he may settle here in the future. Instead of working for foreigners, it would be better to go to Ziweixing.
After all, this was his home.
Zhou Buqi was deeply impressed by Lang Weiyi. When he was playing football, Zhou Buqi was a forward and Lang Weiyi was the team's main defender.
Guo Pengfei also attached great importance to this matter and called him specifically to ask him to arrange a job with potential for development and to take good care of him. He had made a great contribution to the initial development of the school network.
Boss Guo said so, so Zhou Buqi could only obey his orders.
However, Ziweixing International's system in London is already very complete. How can there be any better positions?
What kind of positions have development potential?
Work from 0 to 1.
For example, if Ziweixing International wants to open a branch in Australia and needs a person in charge, send him there at this time. If he succeeds, he will be credited with opening up new territories, and his prospects for promotion will be bright.
Now that the open border in London has ended, he doesn't want to go anywhere else.
So after going to London, Zhou Buqi directly made an appointment with Lang Weiyi.
The guy is very energetic.
Just very reserved after meeting.
After just a few years, the two have become worlds apart. Back then, the two played football together, but now it has become a luxury to sit and drink coffee together.
Lang Weiyi felt somewhat self-deprecating in his heart.
Cursing secretly that he deserved it.
The mentality of migrant workers who seek stability taught at home is the main culprit causing the current gap.
Look at this place, there are quite a few bodyguards!
Seeing his restraint, Zhou Buqi smiled enthusiastically and said, "By the way, are you still playing football now?"
Lang Weiyi smiled and said, "Kick, a substitute player for the Cambridge school team."
"Why are you a substitute?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "I remember how good your defense was back then. Every time I faced you in an internal confrontation, I couldn't get past you. You are the backbone of our team's defense. ."
Lang Weiyi twitched his lips, feeling very helpless, "The substitutes are good. I am a substitute for the third team. The main players in our team are all from the professional youth training echelon. The youth training was screened out. This Then continue your studies.”
"No wonder!" Zhou Buqi laughed, and then sighed with emotion, "It makes sense that people are strong in football. This is the kingdom of football."
"Yes." Lang Weiyi nodded repeatedly. He has personal experience, so he has the right to speak, "Our school team games, excluding tickets, may earn more on game days than Guoan."
"Oh no?"
"Anyway, the scene is very spectacular. Every time there is a school team game, the school is like a school anniversary. It is very lively. There are many banners on the campus. Many students are wearing the school's jerseys, blowing trumpets and waving team flags. There are also many derivatives. People have high spending power and are rich."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "I can see that your interest in football is still as good as before."
"It's just a hobby."
Lang Weiyi couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Football is a hobby, how can you compare it with others? The man opposite is the boss of Premier League champion Manchester United!
Zhou Buqi coughed and said seriously: "You don't have to worry about work. Our friendship is all about me. But there is one thing I want to explain."
Lang Weiyi nodded, "Okay."
Zhou Buqi said: "There may not be any suitable positions here at Ziweixing."
"ah?"
Lang Weiyi was surprised and puzzled.
This is a big company!
Helo is spread all over Europe, and recently it even launched a new photo social product Ucgram. How come there are no suitable positions?
Zhou Buqi said: "That's right. The business here in London is already quite full. Even if there are job vacancies, they are all at the lowest level and it is very difficult to get promoted."
Lang Weiyi took a deep breath, "It doesn't matter, I can do it!"
Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "That's not what I meant, I just thought... Anyway, you were also the founder of Ziweixing back then. It's normal to quit studying halfway and continue working after studying."
Lang Weiyi heard what the other party meant, that he wanted to treat him favorably, and he was somewhat touched.
Zhou Buqi said: "If you want to be promoted faster, you must be entrepreneurial in nature."
"Start a business?"
"It's not a company start-up, but it may be the expansion of a new business. Only with new business can you directly become a business director."
"Yeah, I can."
"But it's not Ziweixing."
"what is that?"
Zhou Buqi smiled and asked: "How is Manchester United?"
Lang Weiyi was stunned, "Manchester United? You want me to work at Manchester United?"
Zhou Buqi asked: "What? Isn't it possible?"
Lang Weiyi said: "It's not impossible. I have been studying the Internet in the past few years. My doctoral topic is new media based on the Internet. I thought I could find an Internet-related job."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I know, so I arranged it this way."
Lang Weiyi narrowed his eyes slightly and seemed to understand, "Boss Zhou, you mean to ask me to take charge of Manchester United's new media business? Manchester United wants to develop the new media market?"
"How's it going?" Zhou Buqi admitted, "Are you interested?"
"this……"
Lang Weiyi was hesitant and seemed undecided.
Even Manchester United's new media business is not an Internet company. From the perspective of Chinese people, playing for a club does not seem to have as much aura as working for a world-class Internet giant.
Zhou Buqi said: "I will go to Manchester in the afternoon. Manchester United will have a season summary meeting tomorrow. Do you want to go with me? Go to Old Trafford to experience it."
"Can I bring my girlfriend?"
"Of course, together!"
…
In the afternoon, Lang Weiyi showed up with his little girlfriend.
Really a little girlfriend.
Lang Weiyi graduated with a doctorate this year. He is 28 years old. His girlfriend has just finished her freshman year. She is only 19 years old this year. Her name is Qiao Na. She has many freckles on her face and wears braces.
At first glance, I thought she was an underage girl.
Compared with Lang Weiyi's restraint, his girlfriend was much more lively. She jumped up and down with excitement when she got on the private plane, saying that this was the first time in her life that she took a private plane and she was so excited.
Lang Weiyi was shocked again.
Looking at the luxurious decoration inside the private jet, he felt like he was in another world. Especially the high-end sofa, he didn't even dare to sit down on it.
Qiao Na also wanted to go with him to the bedroom to take a look and take a rest, which scared him so much that he quickly stopped. As for the glamorous stewardess and pretty female secretary on the plane, it's best not to think too much.
There is no point in overthinking it.
Time has passed, and the juniors who played football together with me have long been in different worlds.
Fortunately, Zhou Buqi was very enthusiastic and didn't show off at all. On the plane, he talked freely about playing football together, especially the time when the school team of Beida University lost to Beihang University. Then a few of them were not convinced, formed a team of their own, found an unlicensed coach to guide them, and made an appointment with Beihang University. Relying on the simplest tactics of defensive counterattack and long pass, we actually won with a score of 2:1.
The school team lost, but their grassroots team won, which can be regarded as a rare and beautiful memory.
The next day, Zhou Buqi took Lang Weiyi to attend Manchester United's high-level meeting.
The new season will start soon, and this meeting is mainly to summarize the 2009-10 season.
Achievements: Champions League runner-up, Premier League champion, FA Cup semi-finals, League Cup quarter-finals, Community Shield champion.
Revenue: £405m.
This is the most eye-catching result.
There is already news in the industry that last season Real Madrid spent 240 million euros to buy a large number of top players, which set a record for Real Madrid's revenue, reaching 442 million euros!
However, Manchester United has more!
Manchester United's revenue is 405 million pounds, which can be converted into 471 million euros.
World number one!
Compared with the previous financial year, Manchester United's revenue increased by 62.5 million pounds. Among them, television broadcast revenue was 129 million pounds. Matchday revenue, £104m. Commercial operating income, £172 million.
Operating profit reached £101 million!
Far exceeding the previous estimate of £94 million.
Among them, the most obvious one is of course the performance of commercial revenue. This is mainly due to the reform of the club structure promoted by Zhou Buqi. The independent operation of Manchester United's commercial business has given more independent and freer choices for commercial development.
