Special troubles of rebirth

Since the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, the Icelandic consortium, which has suffered heavy losses, has been trying to sell its stake in West Ham Club.

This matter is not news in London, and David Sullivan's desire to acquire the club only became popular for a while and then stopped, but it is still somewhat popular in the football world.

However, a registered company from Asia suddenly stepped in and announced its involvement in the acquisition of West Ham in a high-profile manner, which quickly became popular in London.

Not only that, the company also contacted more than a dozen media outlets in the British Isles, large and small, and revealed some explosive information in a high-profile manner.

They announced that once they successfully acquire the West Ham club, they will not only invite a famous coach to coach them, but also directly promise in the newspaper that the funds used to introduce players next season will not be less than 2 million yuan.

Suddenly, public opinions from all sides, especially in the football world, quickly aroused the vigilance of many clubs. 2 million yuan is not a small number. When Abramovich took over Chelsea five or six years ago, he waved a golden bullet and bought players like crazy. Before the memory faded, Mansour, who came from the Middle East, repeated this behavior in Manchester City, and now he is joining a crazy Asian capital

Established clubs such as Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, etc. all feel the chill behind them, not to mention those small and medium-sized clubs. Now the Premier League is no longer a wolf, but a pack of wolves.

Against this noisy background, Wang Yu and Bruce met at a racecourse in the suburbs of London.

"The horse you bought is indeed well-deserved. Mr. Xiham, is he the Andalusian horse in your eyes?"

Bruce, who had been exercising on horseback for more than half an hour, was sweating slightly on his forehead. Dressed in riding attire, he supported his arms on the wooden fence beside the racecourse. He turned to look at Wang Yu beside him and said, "Or maybe you are a real Crazy football fans?”

"I'm a businessman!"

Wang Yu's eyes were on the jogging horse in the distance. Bai Jieru was currently learning to control the Andalusian horse named "Feifei". She was now a bit more heroic now that she was wearing a women's riding outfit.

"So the news in those newspapers is just propaganda?"

"No, once I buy West Ham, everything I say will be fulfilled."

Wang Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at Bruce: "Treachery and trustworthiness are not in conflict."

"Just have fun."

Bruce shrugged his shoulders: "In the United States, many bosses will buy a basketball team or a rugby team. They come to the stadium on weekends and watch their team defeat powerful opponents one by one. It's such a refreshing feeling. It feels no worse than winning a business victory. I understand your mentality, it is just another type of competitive mentality."

“Like Larry Ellison who loves racing in the America’s Cup?”

The Larry Ellison Wang Yu is talking about is the boss of Oracle. This guy is obsessed with sailing. He has formed teams to participate in the America's Cup many times and won the championship.

"That crazy Oracle?"

Hearing Wang Yu mention that name, Bruce smacked his lips and said: "An extremely crazy guy, more narcissistic than Apple's Joe."

When talking about Apple, Bruce seemed to think of something and asked, "I heard that you have cooperation with Apple?"

"Some small cooperation in production is cooperation now, but I don't know the future."

Wang Yu smiled: "There are no permanent friends. This is a famous saying in the West, isn't it?"

"Only eternal benefits!"

Bruce didn't seem to hear Wang Yu's voiceover, and changed the subject with a smile: "Old Qiao has turned around this time. Apple has now become a favorite in the eyes of Wall Street."

Although he praised him, Wang Yu could hear the understatement in Bruce's words.

Yes, the current global mobile phone market structure is there, and no one with the most imaginative imagination can predict the earth-shaking changes in the next one or two years.

"It's not easy for anyone just to make ends meet."

Wang Yu narrowed his eyes and said slowly with a pun: "Especially when you steal food from other people's mouths!"

"Mr. Wang, you're not just inviting me to come to the racecourse for a few laps this time, right?"

Bruce blinked: "I guess it's because of the acquisition of Opel?"

There’s no need to guess. Everything about the first contact between Guoke New Energy and Opel was not a secret in front of Bruce, right?

"Would you like to take on a piece of business?"

Having said that, the performance cannot be broken: "I want to hand over the acquisition of Opel to your Goldman Sachs to run it. Are you interested?"

"Mr. Wang, I find it a pleasure to work with you!"

Bruce smiled and snapped his fingers: "You have found the right person, someone who is more professional than us. They don't have the relationship we have with GM. They have a good relationship with GM, but they are not as professional as us!"

After listening to Bruce's words, Wang Yu almost wanted to laugh. This sentence has a sense of déjà vu that makes me the best singer among actors!

So he really laughed in front of Bruce: "Bruce, come back and quote a price, and contact Guokel New Energy's Guo Zhong for details!"

"Mr. Wang, I found that you are quite obsessed with that beautiful white lady!"

Bruce jumped away from the topic and followed Wang Yu's gaze at the racecourse not far away: "I'm sure there are feelings between you that go beyond friendship."

"After all, Hepburn and Givenchy are just a minority, aren't they?"

Wang Yu looked at Bruce: "There is an old saying in China: When you are awake, you will seize the power; when you are drunk, you will lie on the lap of a beautiful woman. Isn't this the meaning of a man's struggle?"

"I can understand drinking on the lap of a beautiful woman, but what is the right thing?"

"In ancient times, cavalry meant power!"

Wang Yu pointed at the galloping horses in the distance: "It's equivalent to a modern tank!"

"Hahaha"

Bruce understood the meaning of Wang Yu's words: "Mr. Wang, the language of the East is really profound and beautiful. I must learn it if I have the opportunity."

The pleasant chat between the two continued until Bai Jieru returned.

"Seeing that you guys were having a great time chatting, things should go smoothly, right?"

On the way back to Black Swan Manor, Bai Jieru asked Wang Yu curiously: "I rode for more than an hour, how did you come up with so many topics?"

"The entrusted matter is just a few words, and the rest is just random chatter."

Wang Yu smiled and said: "A lot of it is nonsense. How can a chat between men be so serious?"

"Nine times out of ten, you talked about women, right?"

Bai Jieru wrinkled her nose and rested her head on Wang Yu's shoulder: "In the eyes of Westerners, I am not considered a beauty. But why do you men have similar aesthetics to Western women?"

“The impact of aesthetic hegemony!”

Wang Yu did not go into details, but simply made a metaphor: "The King of Chu had such a thin waist, and many people in the palace starved to death. Plumpness was considered beautiful in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The bound feet of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are also popular on the four major fashion T-stages. Those skinny, deformed models.”

Bai Jieru was thoughtful and quiet for a moment: "So you laid out the Guoke Culture and Entertainment Group Co., Ltd., and you still take the Guoke video so seriously?"

"You have a very unique vision."
