The Best Entertainment Era

Every year in May, the football leagues of various European countries, including the famous UEFA Champions League, end the metropolitan season and decide the final champion.

Now that it is late April, the European football leagues can be said to have reached the final sprint stage.

I don't know why, but for more than half a year, Tom Cruise has more and more a sense of following Ronan's investment in Manchester United Club, which is a feeling of being on a thief ship.

But he was very sure that this feeling was just an illusion.

Because not long ago, the representative of the Glazer family in the United States secretly sent someone to contact Tom Cruise, expressing his willingness to increase the price by 30% on the basis of his investment amount, and acquire the Manchester United shares in his hand. .

Not to mention football itself, in less than a year, this investment can have a high return of 30%, no matter how you look at it, it is a huge profit.

This is also inseparable from Manchester United's performance this season.

The Glazer family's offer was indeed tempting, but Tom Cruise refused without hesitation.

Ronan's vision is worthy of his 100% trust.

It's only been less than a year, and Tom Cruise is not short of money. From an investment point of view, this is also a very cost-effective deal.

Tom Cruise's investment consultant made some estimates. As long as Manchester United's performance can be stable, it will inevitably continue to attract fans and various sponsors. In five or six years, it will not be a problem for the club's value to double. .

As a friend for many years, Tom Cruise knows very well that Ronan is not only a movie, but also has a good investment vision in other industries.

Netflix is ​​the best example.

The Premier League and the UEFA Champions League are coming to an end. Tom Cruise looked towards Ronan and said, You, the boss, don't pay attention to the team's situation, it's too unprofessional.

Ronan shrugged slightly, and said plausibly: Tom, don't you think this is the most professional performance? He said as a matter of course: As a boss, in terms of the operation of the club, let the professional handle it. Isn't this the most reasonable attitude for a boss?

Tom Cruise froze for a moment, and subconsciously felt that what Ronan said was very reasonable, but he was unable to refute it. He couldn't help but shook his head: You are right no matter what, who made you the big boss.

Ronan sighed.

Said: The main reason is that I have been too busy recently. Netflix has entered the final preparation period before going public, and I have to appear on many occasions.

He waved his hand: Compared to the listing of Netflix, Manchester United's affairs are trivial.

Tom Cruise also knew about many requests from Netflix, and nodded unconsciously: Indeed, compared to Netflix, Manchester United is only a trivial matter for you.

He has a relatively clear concept of this. No matter how well Manchester United operates, no matter how outstanding the results are, Ronan is still a billionaire, but Netflix can bring about a qualitative change for Ronan.

Once Netflix is ​​successfully listed, Luo Nanji may cross the threshold of tens of billions of assets!

The two have been friends for many years. Tom Cruise felt that it would be better to tell Ronan about some things in advance: I am currently selling some fixed assets to cash out and prepare to raise a larger sum of money.

Ronan was curious: Are you short of money? Waiting for the money?

No. Tom Cruise simply explained: Isn't Netflix under Relativity Entertainment going public? I'm going to invest in Netflix.

Hearing this, Ronan was somewhat surprised.

Tom Cruise said: My investors are in contact with Goldman Sachs. When IPO comes, I will be one of the investors in Netflix shares.

Ronan laughed: Do you need me to say thank you for your support?

No need. Tom Cruise joked seriously: You just need to lead Netflix to continue to develop. I hope this investment can be multiplied several times in the future.

Ronan said seriously: I hope so too.

Netflix needs to go public to raise funds, and the stock must be sold to many people, anyone can sell it. Tom Cruise is willing to invest, which is a good thing for him.

Now, Ronan is very sure that Netflix will not end in his hands. As the industry leader, it will continue to develop at a high speed for many years to come.

From this point of view, many investors are optimistic about Netflix, Tom Cruise knows him better, and it is not a surprise that he is optimistic about the future of Netflix.

Tom Cruise turned the topic back to football and said: Manchester United has entered the most critical stage in the competition for the two events. Should we go to the UK? There is a high-end party of club owners in London. Invitations have already been sent.

Ronan remembered the incident: This weekend?

Tom Cruise replied: Yes, you should have received it too? In the current situation, Manchester United may be a great success, or it may be nothing. It is very critical.

Ronan thought about his recent schedule and said, Let's go there.

Although the full amount of the loan for the acquisition of Manchester United was passed on to Manchester United, Ronan didn't really care about the club, and he still had a grasp of the basic situation.

In the Premier League this season, Manchester United has been leading the standings, but has never opened up Chelsea, and the points gap between the two sides has never exceeded 3 points.

At present, Manchester United leads Chelsea by two points, and it is only a game of victory or defeat.

Although under Ronan's intervention, Manchester United snatched several goals including Drogba, Petr Cech and Robben from under Chelsea's nose, but Mourinho in this era seems to be really The magic bird, a team formed by English players and his Portuguese direct descendants, is equally astonishing in combat effectiveness.

This is not more than ten years later, Mourinho's career is moving towards the peak, and his ability is beyond doubt.

Even many of his coaching concepts have triggered changes in football skills and tactics.

The entanglement between Manchester United and Chelsea is not only in the Premier League, but also in the Champions League.

This season, Manchester United has been fully reinforced. After the team passed the integration stage at the beginning of the season, Ferguson strategically gave up the League Cup and the FA Cup, and the team is fully committed to the league and the Champions League.

In the league, Manchester United have led the way since the start of the season.

In the UEFA Champions League, Manchester United has entered the semi-finals after eliminating Liverpool, which was dug out of the former tactical core Harvey Alonso.

The opponent in the semi-finals is precisely Mourinho's Chelsea team.

It is no exaggeration to say that the success or failure of Manchester United for a season is closely related to Chelsea.

The other semi-final is between AC Milan and Eindhoven. Based on the strength comparison between the two sides, as long as there are no major accidents, AC Milan will definitely enter the Champions League final and appear at the Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.

If Manchester United wants to win the second St. Bradley Cup during Ferguson's period, they must first cross the very difficult threshold of Chelsea.

Young, energetic and talented Mourinho, against Ferguson, who is as cunning as a fox, it is not surprising whoever wins or loses.

But in the eyes of Ronan and Tom Cruise, Manchester United must be the winner.

At present, commercial companies including Nike, Allianz Insurance and Audi Group are negotiating new sponsorship agreements with Manchester United, and several parties intend to put the final negotiations after the end of this season.

Manchester United's record will directly affect the outcome of the negotiations.

To be precise, the record is closely related to the amount of the sponsorship contract.

Putting it on the Manchester United team themselves, they hope to get more income and get rid of the huge debt burden thrown by the club owner on the Manchester United team as soon as possible.

With the acquisition last summer, Manchester United seemed to be reborn, but it also became the most indebted club in the Premier League.

Entering May, the suspense of the Premier League is about to be revealed. The two Champions League semi-finals between Manchester United and Chelsea will also be decided between Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge.

Although there is still a period of time, Ronan came to London with Tom Cruise to participate in a gathering of club owners called by the FA.

Subsequently, the FA and the Premier League will also meet with the heads of operations of various clubs to discuss the future development of the Premier League.

This gathering of club owners is more like the Football Association and the Premier League communicating with the owners in advance.

Ronan meets William again.

On this occasion, the two only exchanged a few words of pleasantries.

Ronan also met William's girlfriend, Kate, as many people attended with their wives.

This was once closer to a Cinderella story than Diana, the daughter of a duke.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of Kate's experience will probably admire Kate and her family. A girl who can marry into the royal family does not have Diana's strong background, identity and status. How can her mind be simple?

At that time, there were a lot of relevant news and rumors on the Internet, which was a living history of an ordinary girl's struggle for the top position.

From Ronan's point of view, there is no derogatory meaning in these words. Looking at this society, who can achieve success across classes, which one is not a scheming man or a scheming woman?

People with simple minds are often eliminated at the starting point.

Looking at every owner of the Premier League club present, including him and Tom Cruise, which one is a simple and pure good person.

For example, the person who came to Ronan, as a super oligarch in Russia, what he did in the process of making a fortune is hard for outsiders to imagine.

Hello, Ronan. Abramovich smiled and shook hands with Ronan: It's a pleasure to see you again.

Ronan responded with a smile: Roman, I am also very happy to meet you.

Abramovich seems to be out of tune with other club owners, or most of the British owners are more repelled by him, the Russian.

Ronan's situation is slightly better, but also limited, the British still seem hostile to outsiders invading their football turf.

Abramovich suggested: Look for a quiet place to chat for a while?

Of course Ronan would not refuse: Okay.

The two came to a quiet corner together.
