Chapter 65 The Boss' Thoughts

Chapter 62 The Mind of the Boss

Gao Bo looked at David Morton sitting in front of him with great interest.

Today's David looks more energetic than what Gao Bo saw before. His hair is covered with a thick layer of hairspray, and the hair attached to his scalp is combed back like pine needles into a greasy back.

Looking at the surrounding environment, it is a high-end bar, very quiet, and occasionally you can hear the whispers of the drinkers.

There is no tavern in England, no noisy sound, except for the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground when the waiters in the bar walk around, and the sound of the soft classical symphony in the tavern.

This is an upscale bar, in other words, an expensive bar.

Gao Bo didn't like this environment very much, and what he didn't like the most was the glass of red wine in front of him.

Compared with red wine, Gao Bo prefers spirits.

"You're rich, David"

Red wine is also wine, Gao Bo reluctantly raised his glass and took a sip.

"Recently, I made a small fortune from investing." David Morton smiled smugly.

Gao Bo couldn't help but glanced at David. 2008 has just passed. If everyone remembers, the frightening financial tsunami caused many rich people to go bankrupt.In such an environment, investment returns can still be achieved, which shows that David Morton is not just an idiot rich second generation.

Gao Bo swirled his wine glass. He was thinking, should he also make some investments?
However, Gao Bo is not very interested in financial products. He does know the existence of several super Internet companies that will grow into world giants in the future.

"Have you ever heard of Facebook, David?"

Speaking of the fastest-growing offensive in the next ten years, apart from those Internet giants in China, these Internet giants will grow up in the US market.

In the next ten years after the financial crisis, these Internet companies will grow the fastest.

"I've heard that they are doing well. It is said that the number of users has exceeded [-] million."

David Morton is also a young man, and he still has a considerable understanding of these new things.

"I'm very optimistic about them. Maybe you can invest your money in this company." Gao Bo raised his glass, frowned and took another sip.

Compared with the current environment, Gao Bo prefers the taverns on the street.

"You still know how to invest?" David looked skeptical.

Regarding Gao Bo's professionalism in football coaching, the American David is still full of doubts about Gao Bo, a Chinese, guiding him to make financial investments.

David, who has made some money, now feels like the wolf of Wall Street. If it is about football tactics, David Morton will not have any doubts about Gao Bo, but when it comes to investment finance, David Morton is the most confident.

David Morton did not continue this topic. He asked Gao Bo out to talk about this.

"Congratulations to the team for eliminating Chelsea and reaching the fourth round of the FA Cup!" David Morton toasted.

Gao Bo also raised his glass in response.

"Is that Adam White really as powerful as the media says?" David Morton looked curious.

"If he can maintain his crazy performance against Chelsea, he will be a genius comparable to Robben in England." Naturally, Gao Bo would not say that Adam's performance was so crazy because of the boost effect of the card.

"How much do you think he is worth?"

David Morton leaned over, his eyes shining.

"If it's now, those big clubs would be willing to pay around 500 million at most." Gao Bo frowned, but he answered the boss's question truthfully.

Spend 500 million to buy a young player in the second division, which was already a rather exaggerated figure in 2008.

"Only 500?!"

David Morton's disappointment was on his face.

"Didn't you say he can match Robben?"

"That's right, if this trend develops, I wouldn't be surprised if Adam White surpasses Robben. But on the football field, there are more talents of all kinds, but most of them end up developing differently than expected. There are many talented players, but if they want to become top superstars, their growth will be affected by injuries, mentality, and even luck." Gao Bo put down his wine glass and looked seriously into David Morton's eyes: "After all, Adam is just a half-finished product now."

David Morton nodded.

"I see that the media in England these days call him a talented player comparable to Messi."

"You trust the media in England?"

"I would rather believe that Wall Street is honest."

The two laughed loudly, causing the surrounding high-end people to look sideways.

Really lack of quality.
The two laughing were no longer as pure as before.

Gao Bo understood what David Morton meant when he asked himself how much Adam was worth.

For David Morton, maintaining such a professional club is actually very difficult.Even if it is a second-tier league team, the net investment of hundreds of thousands of pounds a year is a heavy burden for the rich second-generation David Morton, whose father died.

Now Luton, most of the income comes from tickets for home games, as well as bonuses and broadcast share revenue from cup games this season.But this income, compared with buying and selling players, is obviously nothing. Don’t look at David Morton’s disappointment that Adam White can only buy 500 million. This is because in his heart, Adam White can be sold for at least 1000 million pounds.

1000 million pounds, not to mention David Morton, even his deceased father, only earned this in a year.

With so much money, it's no wonder David Morton is thinking about it.
"If Adam White develops smoothly in another two years, those big clubs will wave their checks to compete for him. But now, he will definitely not be sold at a high price."

Gao Bo thought for a while, and then spoke carefully.

In fact, Gao Bo does not want to make money by buying and selling players. It takes a lot of energy to bring out a complete team. If possible, Gao Bo wants to keep this group of players.

After all, if a team's main lineup has to be replaced every year, this is not a good thing for the team's combat effectiveness.

The owner of the team thinks about making money, but the head coach of the team does not.

"By the way, Chelsea refused to give us the ticket money for the third round of the FA Cup..." Gao Bo said the bad news.

The smile froze on David Morton's face.

The ticket revenue for this game alone is hundreds of thousands, and Luton can be said to be drooling over this piece of cake.

According to the official rules of the FA Cup, ticket revenue should be divided equally between the opposing teams.But according to the usual practice, when the giants play against low-level teams, they will donate their own half to their opponents.

It's just that this time, Chelsea and Luton have obviously had a grudge. Whether it's Scolari or Chelsea's owner Abramovich, even though the hundreds of thousands of pounds are just a small amount of money for Chelsea, they are not willing to distribute them to Gao Bo, who disgusts them.
David Morton looked at Gao Bo with some resentment.

Obviously, if Gao Bo hadn't offended Chelsea so badly before the game, Luton would have paid hundreds of thousands of pounds more in ticket revenue.

Gao Bo came out of the bar wearing a black plush coat.

Half a year ago, David Morton was just a down-and-out rich second generation who inherited his father's negative assets.

And now, David Morton is the owner of the most powerful team in the second division. If he sells this ball to all the main players, he can at least receive more than 2000 million pounds of funds-and it is cash!
This almost doubled the team's owner's assets more than ten times.

Gao Bo understands David Morton's thoughts very well. To be honest, if he has the opportunity to earn so much in less than half a year, it will be difficult for him to guarantee that he will not be tempted.

But in the end, Gao Bo is the head coach of the team, he doesn't want his players to be sold by the owner
This is a team that has put a lot of energy into it.

He glanced at the gray sky and the drizzle falling in the sky.Gao Bo is already used to this kind of weather, he walked directly into the drizzle without holding an umbrella.
