Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 57 Football is Business
Pei Wei thought it would be easy to get acquainted with Mr. Zhou, because both of them had the same entrepreneurial experience, they all started from nothing, and they were surprisingly similar when they started their careers. started.

This allowed the two to have a common language. After chatting in this separate room for less than half an hour, Mr. Zhou basically regarded Pei Wei as his first confidant in his life.

"Brother, I basically know your entrepreneurial experience. To be honest, I admire you very much. You have basically never made any mistakes in the past ten years! Sometimes I am very surprised, how did you do it? Just like in 92, the real estate boom in Hainan, everyone sharpened their heads and wanted to go to that place, but you actually publicly stated in the newspaper that you would definitely fail... and the result was exactly as you said, you How do you know?"

"It's very simple. Hainan still doesn't have the conditions to develop a large amount of real estate." Pei Wei said lightly: "Although it is also a coastal area and the economy is developing very fast, in 92, everyone was confused. Hainan can make a lot of money by building houses...No one has considered that the local area simply cannot digest so many luxury villas...It's a pity that no one will listen to me."

"To be honest, I wanted to go to Hainan at that time..." Mr. Zhou laughed: "It's a pity that I didn't have so much liquidity at that time, and I couldn't get a loan...I regretted it very much at the time, but now , I just feel lucky, I even want to invite the bank manager who refused to give me a loan to have a meal!"

"Doing real estate itself is a dangerous thing to walk on a tightrope." Pei Wei said: "The initial investment is often very large, and the investment can only be maintained through loans, and sales are made while doing it. When all the buildings are completed and sold, the loan is just repaid. During this period, as long as there is a problem with one link, the entire chain may be broken...so now there are so many unfinished buildings in Hainan."

"Brother, you are the most forward-looking businessman I have ever met, but why don't you continue to do business? Instead, you put all your energy into the football club? Isn't it a pity?" Mr. Zhou asked an embarrassing question. His very curious question.

Pei Wei played with the cigarette in his hand, refused Mr. Zhou's move to light it for him, put the cigarette under his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly asked Mr. Zhou: "What about you? What kind of purpose do you come to play football with?" of?"

Mr. Zhou was taken aback for a moment. He couldn't figure out why Pei Wei suddenly asked himself such a sentence. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "In order to develop football in Hubei, to enrich the amateur spiritual and cultural life of the people in Hubei, and for the emergence of a new era in Hubei. Team A..."

"Stop! Stop!" Pei Wei interrupted Mr. Zhou when he was about to give a report: "Brother, it's just the two of us here, so don't talk about those bureaucratic articles, okay? I've heard enough of these words , Annoying! Now I want to know why you took over the Egang Club."

Mr. Zhou smiled awkwardly and coughed twice.

"I'm a businessman," he said.

Pei Wei nodded: "Me too."

"The essence of a businessman is to pursue the greatest interests." Mr. Zhou ignited the lighter with a "snap", and lit the cigarette dangling from his mouth: "I am no exception. It’s almost gone, the entire Hubei market already has enough share, and it’s already very difficult to increase it.”

Pei Wei understands this. If any group develops well, it will encounter this situation. If there is a good opportunity and good operation, it may go further and develop into a large-scale consortium in this industry, or it will stop. Before, slowly decay.

"I've already done almost everything in the clothing industry. As long as there are no problems, the annual profit of tens of millions can be guaranteed, so I want to find another investment point."

"That's why you fell in love with football clubs." Pei Wei also lit a cigarette in his hand.

"You're right." Mr. Zhou became interested: "I also like to watch football, and I often watch the five major European leagues...Look at those rich clubs, they are a huge money printing machine! So I believe that playing football is also a kind of business! It can also make money!"

"I think so too." Pei Wei smiled: "In countries such as Italy, England, and Spain, football leagues have always been a pillar of the national economy that cannot be ignored, and can create huge profits. Industry'...isn't that a business too?"

"Oh... I understand a little bit." Mr. Zhou showed a comprehension expression.

"Like you, I am also very interested in football." Pei Wei smiled: "Since engaging in football is also a kind of business, why don't I try to do this business? For me now, any business is just a games, of course I have to choose a game I like.”

"Your words are really big enough." Mr. Zhou laughed: "But you can also say that, I can't do it anymore. I am more interested in money when I am engaged in football."

"Then you have to do a good job at the club, how to attract fans to the stadium, how to sell ancillary products... Also, if you don't want to lose money, do a good job of cultivating young players, which will It will save you a lot of expenses, and maybe you can make a fortune by selling players." Pei Wei threw the words lightly.

"Well, I have checked the operations of some foreign clubs. Ticket revenue, TV broadcast fees, store sales and player transfers are basically all of their income (note: for European clubs, the above four items are indeed It is basically all of their income, and the bonuses for playing European games will not become another big income until after the formation of G14), it seems that we must do a good job in these aspects." Mr. Zhou said while rubbing his chin.

"Don't even think about the cost of TV broadcasting now. Without a few years of development, our club can't even think about making a penny from the TV station." Pei Wei hit him hard: "But when it comes to business, I have a business idea now." Talk to you."

"what business?"

"I want Feng Gang from your team. I need this player very much. The transfer fee is 20."

"If you want, I'll give it to you. Anyway, we played very well without him last year." It seems that Mr. Zhou was very satisfied with the transfer fee offered by Pei Wei, and he agreed immediately: "However, it seems that there is no transfer fee now." Say you can transfer?"

"We'll talk about it in tomorrow's meeting, otherwise what do you think the Football Association called us for?" Pei Wei said lightly.
