my name is colane

Chapter 571 opta2
After a lot of verification, Hugo thinks this is actually an interesting thing. The sports industry in the United States is highly developed, and big data is widely used, while it didn’t start early in Europe, and its development is relatively slow. Let’s say that this company is opta. The market value is not even 5000 million, if you don't take a step, maybe it's an abyss!

They really need capital investment to put wings on their dreams now.

The largest source of profit for this London-based data company comes from gambling companies. Now they want to expand their development space and find new ways like their predecessors in the United States. Hugo is a beneficiary they have been thinking about for a long time.

Hugo has a team, and he is well-known for his football fanaticism. He is willing to take risks and make some attempts. For example, buying the broadcast rights of Serie A and Serie B is an absolute risk. It is hard to say whether he will or not. will lose money.

Hugo’s past made Opta executives discover two things: first, Hugo cares about money at all, and he can vote as he wants!Second, he is a fan. If the data is really useful to Trapani, he will be willing to pay.

The bosses think this is an opportunity to fool you, um, not fool you, you can really try to convince Hugo, why not other rich people? !If they could find it, they wouldn't want Hugo so hard. Besides, can other people compare with Hugo's conditions? !

Just play big!

The competition in the data market is equally fierce, and only by finding a big backer can we avoid extinction and become a market winner.

On Hugo’s side, he didn’t agree to Julia hastily. He really didn’t think data was good for the team when he was talking, but Hugo remembered the big data of his era, the big data era.Is it possible for this data company to become a big data company in the football world in the future?Maybe there will be incredible achievements in the future!
So Hugo said at the time that he could talk about it. Now that he has verified a lot of information, Hugo thinks it may really be applied to the team. After all, Americans do this, and football can do it too!

Besides, when Hugo coached, he knew that there was data analysis before and after the game.

What is it called? !science!
Aren't those sports equipment providers always committed to developing human potential equipment, data may not be impossible!

Hugo thought about this, and suddenly laughed again. It turned out that he remembered a movie, the movie of Master Xing, Shaolin football, yes, martial arts football is a good combination, data football may not be a good combination, the realization of Shaolin football is empty talk, But data football, huh, that might be true.

Aidan Cooney, an executive from Opta Company, ran extremely fast and came to Trapani on Monday. In front of Hugo, he bragged about the benefits of statistics to the team.

"Data can provide guiding opinions, help coaches correct some of the players' shortcomings during training, and remind them which skills should be strengthened..."

Cooney said a lot, and he desperately hoped that Hugo would support him.

"How much annual profit can you achieve in five years?!" Hugo asked, embarrassing Cooney.

The wish is of course good, but the reality is cruel. Last year, Opta’s profit was less than 200 million Premier League. Such profit margins have to be based on squeezing employees.

How much can there be in the future?

"Look at your profit situation, do you think I'm crazy?! Investing in an industry with no future?! Such a small profit is not enough for my teeth!" Hugo said contemptuously.

Cooney is embarrassed, this is a fact, and it is hard to say whether it will succeed or fail in the future.

"Well, you go back and discuss with the shareholders and make a price. I am not investing in you, I will not invest in you, I will only buy you! Your idea is very good, I just need Opta to serve Trapani !” Hugo crossed his hands and said to Cooney.

"Ah!" Cooney didn't expect Hugo to have such an idea.

"Mr. Cooney, if you talk about investment prospects, I don't think your company has any investment value. You provide William Hill with data, but it is a gambling company. I don't think most teams will agree with your point of view." The help of the team can be great”! Besides, we all know how the spinach company is going on! But I want to tell you that I want to try, I want to buy your company and try, can it help my team!” Hugo expressed his opinion.

Of course, Cooney didn't know that Hugo was actually performing. He knew that Cooney had already been frustrated, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Italy to find him. There are many rich people in the UK, and Opta is just a small company. If you want to, you can grab a lot of them. Investors, the key is that they are not optimistic about the use of data.

What can Cooney say? !This is the legendary rich man is capricious? !

Cooney didn't believe Hugo's words. He believed that the company had a bright future, and Hugo just took advantage of the opportunity to make a black hand. However, he was a little tempted after all. After all, he also had shares. If he could get a good amount of money in exchange, it would be acceptable.

"How much do you plan to buy?! Mr. Colani!" Cooney couldn't help asking.

"You should contact the shareholders first! My bid will definitely impress you! But I only accept the acquisition, I will make Opta my personal private company, maybe it will become the club's data center!" Hugo proudly laughed.

Cooney quickly called the shareholders to discuss. In fact, these guys want to sell after holding on for so long. The profit is not high and the competition is fierce. It is better to sell it to get money while there is a good customer.

The shareholders reached a consensus and were willing to sell opta. Hugo directly offered a price of 4000 million US dollars. This price was already quite generous. Cooney couldn't calm down. He immediately had the urge to get everyone to sign.

Hugo felt that this was a strong buy and sell, and he suddenly wanted to buy because he really planned to merge Opta into the Trapani Football Club and establish the Trapani Data Center.

He has already heard from Platini that UEFA will study the financial fair play policy. The purpose of such a policy is to make the clubs financially healthy and for the future of football. Hugo supports this policy. , Now there is just such an opportunity, Hugo figured it out, in the future, the sea stadium, medical center, and data center can become an important part of Trapani Football Club's revenue. If they develop well, they can fully support Trapani Club Buy, buy, buy, this is a century-old plan.

Julia was surprised at how quickly Hugo's attitude changed, but she didn't say anything, after all, she wanted to be tempted.

Hugo said that he would buy it privately, and Julia did not express any objection. Hugo's private company is not such a company. Hugo International Investment Company does not manage all of Hugo, Julia just manages everything.

In late March, the two parties completed the delivery, and Hugo officially became the sole shareholder of opta.

Cooney originally thought that Opta would become history, and originally thought that Opta would move to Trapani, but who the hell knew that Hugo had no intention of changing at all.

Even if a parenthesis "Trapani Football Club Data Center" was added to the name, the headquarters is still London, and Cooney finally felt like he was being fooled.

"Who told you that the Trapani FC data center must be in Pacheco?! Who told you it can't be in London!"

"You lied to us all!" Cooney said angrily.

"Fart! I didn't lie to any of you. I proposed the purchase price and you all signed it! Did I force you?!" Hugo said coldly, which can be called a lie.

Cooney thought for a while, smiled wryly, and didn't dwell on the past any longer. Indeed, as Hugo said, he didn't deceive anyone. They couldn't stand the temptation and took the money.

The reason why Cooney can stand in front of Hugo and beep now is because Hugo has offered him a big price to keep him as CEO, and the company has not even changed employees.
