Top of the big era

Senior Sister Zhen Yu likes to buy houses very much and keeps buying houses.

Maybe it’s because she is a housekeeper and needs to solve the housing problem for her family, maybe she thinks real estate investment has the most long-term value, maybe buying a house can bring her a sense of security, or maybe she just likes this kind of consumption. Feel.

Just like many girls like to go shopping.

I bought a lot of things that I didn’t actually need, I just enjoyed the joy of shopping.

Perhaps this kind of real estate transaction, which can cost millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, can bring her a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Anyway, Zhou Buqi has no idea how many properties the Zhou family owns now. The initial investment in two properties under renovation in London and Miami has reached US$550 million.

After dinner, Zhou Buqi and the girls watched an animated movie in the home theater, "Puss in Boots" produced by DreamWorks Animation.

This made Mai Feixue once again feel the privilege of being with her boss.

The movie hasn’t been released yet!

The release date written in the brochure was two months later, but I didn't expect that I could watch the movie in advance at home. Later, Sun Wanran said that DreamWorks Animation is an animation studio under Ziweixing Global Group, which confused her for a long time.

Zhou Buqi didn't care what kind of psychological impact this "first time mountaineer" had on Mai Feixue. He went to the study room with Senior Sister Zhen Yu and continued to discuss the real estate matter.

Zhen Yu chuckled and said, "Manchester United is building a five-star hotel."

"Well, probably invest 140 million pounds."

"A little less?"

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi glanced at her and said amusedly, "It's just a five-star hotel. How much does it cost? The land and surrounding transportation facilities are all provided by the city. Manchester is moving towards tourism. What about urban transformation?”

Zhen Yu whispered: "Don't you think this house is too small?"

Zhou Buqi nodded and said helplessly: "But this is already considered a first-class mansion in Manchester."

Normally, this luxurious villa is enough for a family to live in.

But Zhou Buqi is different.

He has so many people in his family that basically wherever he goes, there are a dozen or so people around him. Do you want bodyguards, drivers, etc. to live in? If you don't live here, where will you live?

This is one of the reasons why Zhen Yu wants to buy a big house.

Let's talk about it now. Zhou Buqi, Wu Yu, Ning Yameng, Zhen Yu, Sun Guanran, Ning Lu, Mai Feixue, two maids, a chef...all the male staff live in this villa. In a nearby hotel.

Zhen Yu smiled and said, "So we can make a fuss about Manchester United's hotel project."

Zhou Buqi had thought about this idea before, "Staying in a hotel?"

Zhen Yu said: "Well, how many floors is this hotel planned to have?"

"Floor 32."

"That's easy to handle. The 30th floor and below are open to the public. The 31st and 32nd floors are reserved for our own living areas and are not open to the public. With the guise of a hotel, we can also avoid the crowds."

"Well, that's the truth."

Zhou Buqi agreed very much.

There are so many beautiful girls living in the Zhou family's house... It doesn't matter if it's their own family. With Boss Zhou's mediating ability, he can completely solve the problem. The dizzy Mai Feixue is an example.

However, there are always some nannies, chefs and other staff at home, and they may be confused.

Staying in a hotel is different.

A few beautiful girls went to the hotel. Even if someone noticed them, what would happen? Who knows if she is going to a regular guest room or the top floor?

The hotel's security, cleaning, chefs, waiters and other staff can solve all the trivial matters of life.

Zhen Yu was very happy because she saw another opportunity to buy a big house. She said happily: "Manchester United's budget for this hotel is 140 million pounds. I think it is a little less and can be increased to 300 million pounds."

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi felt that her tone was really loud. The design plan of the entire hotel had been finalized, and it could not be changed by just changing it.

Zhen Yu smiled and said: "The budget below the 30th floor is 140 million pounds, which will not affect the overall construction plan of the entire five-star hotel. It only needs to make some minor adjustments on the 31st and 32nd floors."

Zhou Buqi twitched his lips, "The budget for floors below the 30th floor is 140 million pounds, and the budget for the 31st and 32nd floors is 160 million pounds."

"Maybe we won't need that much," Zhen Yu said indifferently, "After all, we can spend the money, smooth out the profits, and balance the income and expenses."

Zhou Buqi laughed, "Senior Sister Zhen Yu, you have such a big heart!"

Zhen Yu rolled her eyes at him, "Originally, for a company, the funds spent to build factories, buildings, and equipment are the same as the funds spent to buy raw materials and players. It's just that this cost will not be used in the current period. All are listed as costs, but are amortized into costs through multi-year depreciation... Well, you know what amortized costs are, right?"

"You underestimate me too much." Zhou Buqi also knows some common sense, "It's just like football transfers. Just like this summer, Manchester United bought Modric for 45 million euros and signed a five-year contract. , amortized, the annual expenditure is 9 million euros."

Zhen Yu nodded lightly, "However, this kind of apportionment is not set in stone. It depends on how the accounts are done. It can be apportioned over 5 years, or it can be calculated only in 1 year."

"oh."

Not sure if I don't have a weapon this week.

Zhen Yu said softly: "Just like buying stocks, do you know how Buffett buys stocks? A very important data is the amortization time of fixed assets. Companies with strong profitability tend to shorten the amortization time. On the contrary, companies with low profitability will find ways to extend the amortization time. Through such an analysis of financial reports, you can clearly judge the growth potential of a company without having to conduct internal background checks. Their stocks are worth more."

"oh."

This is very embarrassing for Zhou Buqi.

How does he understand this?

When he buys stocks, he only has one trick: follow his feelings, and his position will be full. Buy it if you like it, and leave it alone after buying it. It is called value investment.

Zhen Yu continued: "The profit of 170 million pounds in the past season is not too much and can be easily spread, but this is not a long-term solution. Even if football is special, there are many ways to hide profits and fill deficits. But from a long-term perspective, it is better to follow the rules, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless Manchester United really breaks even!"

"I'm afraid that's unlikely," Zhou Buqi shook his head. "With Manchester United in my hands, it's hard not to make money. Last season Manchester United won the Triple Crown, Champions League, Premier League and League Cup, which boosted revenue. There has been a huge increase. Manchester United cannot win so many championships every season, but it is still relatively easy to make money in the long term."

In the previous life, Manchester United, under the hands of Santoku, had to pay consulting fees to the Glazer family every year, pay them dividends, and repay huge loan interest for them... Even so, Manchester United has a very healthy financial situation.

Now that Zhou Buqi has taken over Manchester United, all hidden dangers have been eliminated, and it is difficult not to make money.

Zhen Yu said: "Income will continue to grow, so we can increase expenses."

"How to increase it?"

Zhou Buqi actually has some preparations for this, which is to gradually increase Manchester United's salary level year by year.

Top players like to go to Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and another reason is that the salary is high enough.

In the current income ranking of football players in the world, the first one is Cristiano Ronaldo, with 11.3 million pounds after tax, a Real Madrid player; the second is Ibrahimovic, with 10.4 million pounds after tax. Although he currently plays for AC Milan, 70% The wages are still paid by Barcelona.

Third, Barcelona’s Messi, £9.1 million after tax;

Fifth, Real Madrid’s Kaka, £8.7 million after tax;

Sixth, Manchester City’s Adebayor, 7.4 million pounds after tax;

Seventh, Real Madrid’s Benzema, 7.3 million pounds after tax.

At eighth, it was finally the turn of Manchester United's core player Rooney, with an after-tax salary of 7.2 million pounds. This was the result of a salary increase and contract extension.

The salaries offered to players by Real Madrid and Barcelona are high enough, and their attractiveness will naturally increase.

If Manchester United wants to be more attractive, it must be competitive enough in salary, such as Bale, Robben, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Van Persie, Ferdinand, Vidic and others in the past few seasons. The meritorious players who have won consecutive trophies for Manchester United need further salary increases.

Attraction is brand.

Manchester United wants to surpass Real Madrid and Barcelona and become the club with the highest player salaries in Europe.

This is not what Senior Sister Zhen Yu is thinking about at all, "Increase operating expenses. It's like the top floor of a five-star hotel. Let's live in it...all the expenses will be accounted for by Manchester United. The more Manchester United earns, the more we earn." If we spend a little bit, it will be wiped out? As long as Manchester United is not listed, can we do whatever we want? Even if it is listed, many people are doing the same."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Senior Sister Zhen Yu, you are really becoming more and more like a Wall Street capitalist!"

"Anyway, I've made up my mind. It's up to you how to choose me." Zhen Yu stood up and stretched, "If you ask me, it's good if Manchester United's financial report is pretty. The more beautiful Manchester United's financial report is, the better it will be. Attract the attention and learning of European clubs, thereby following up on Manchester United’s strategy and deepening cooperation with Ziweixing Digital Media.”

Zhou Buqi pondered for a while and said slowly: "Okay, let's do it like this. Well...the 31st floor, the 32nd floor...just two floors feel a bit missing, so let's leave 5 floors. The 28th floor is the office area. , the 29th, 30th, 31st and 32nd floors are all for our use."

"I'm going back to my room to rest. I'm tired." Zhen Yu yawned and turned to leave.

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi shouted to her back, "Aren't you going to bed?"

"Tomorrow, after a day of flying, let's get off the jet lag and have a good rest." Zhen Yu glanced back at him, "Go and love your little beauty Mai Feixue, her breasts are so big, so exaggerated."
