Chapter 767: Scheming

Every May, the football leagues of 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 League can be described as the final sprint stage.
　　
　　 I don’t know why. Over the past six months or so, Tom Cruise has more and more the feeling of following Ronan’s investment in the Manchester United club and he is on a thief boat.
　　
　　 But he was very sure that this feeling was just an illusion.
　　
Because not long ago, representatives of the Glazer family in the United States secretly contacted Tom Cruise and expressed their willingness to increase the price of his investment by 30% to acquire the little Manchester United shares in his hand. .
　　
　　 Regardless of football itself, in less than a year, this investment can have a high return of 30%, which is a huge profit.
　　
　　 This is inseparable from Manchester United's performance this season.
　　
　　 The price offered by the Glazer family is indeed very tempting, but Tom Cruise refused without hesitation.
　　
　　 Ronan’s vision deserves his 100% trust.
　　
　　 It's been less than a year. Tom Cruise is not short of money. From an investment perspective, it is also a very cost-effective business.
　　
Tom Cruise’s investment consultants have made some estimates. As long as Manchester United’s results are stable, it will inevitably continue to attract fans and various sponsors. After five or six years, it is not a problem for the club’s value to double. .
　　
　　As a good friend for many years, Tom Cruise knows very well that Ronan is not only in movies, but also has good investment vision in other industries.
　　
　　 Netflix is ​​the best example.
　　
　　 "The Premier League and the Champions League are about to end." Tom Cruise looked at Ronan and said: "You are the boss and don't pay attention to the situation of the team. It's too unprofessional."
　　
Ronan shrugged slightly and said plausibly: "Tom, don't you think this is the most professional performance?" He said naturally: "As the boss, in the operation of the club, professional matters will be handled by professionals. Isn't this the most reasonable attitude of a boss?"
　　
　　 Tom Cruise was taken aback for a moment. Subconsciously, he felt that Ronan’s words were reasonable, but he was unable to refute, and shook his head: "You have a reason, who made you the big boss?"
　　
　　 Ronan sighed and 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 show up on many occasions."
　　
　　 He waved his hand: "Compared to the listing of Netflix, things at Manchester United are trivial."
　　
　　 Tom Cruise also knew many of Netflix’s invitations, and nodded unconsciously and said: "Indeed, Manchester United is a small matter for you compared to Netflix."
　　
　　 He has a clearer concept of this. No matter how well Manchester United operates and the results are outstanding, Ronan is still a billionaire, but Netflix can bring a qualitative change to 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 thinks it’s better to tell Ronan about something in advance:
I’m currently selling some fixed assets to cash out, and I’m going to raise a larger amount of capital.

　　
　　 Ronan was curious: "Are you short of money? Anxious for money?"
　　
　　 "No." Tom Cruise simply explained: "Isn't Netflix, a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment, currently operating and going public? I am going to invest in Netflix."
　　
　　 Ronan was somewhat surprised when he heard this.
　　
　　 Tom Cruise said: "My investors are in contact with Goldman Sachs. By the time of ipo, I will be one of the investors of Netflix."
　　
　　 Ronan laughed: "Should I say thank you for your support?"
　　
　　 "No need." Tom Cruise joked solemnly: "You only need to lead Netflix in continuous development. I hope this investment can be doubled in the future."
　　
　　 Ronan said seriously, "I hope so."
　　
　　 Netflix needs to go public to raise funds. The stock must be sold to many people. It is sold to everyone. Tom Cruise is willing to invest. This is a good thing for him.
　　
　　 Now, Ronan is very sure that Netflix will not be finished in his hands. As a leader in the industry, it will continue to develop rapidly for many years to come.
　　
　　 From this perspective, many investors are optimistic about Netflix, and Tom Cruise knows him better and is optimistic about Netflix's future, which is not a surprise.
　　
Tom Cruise’s topic turned back to football, saying:
Manchester United has entered the most critical stage in the contention of the two events. Are we going to the UK? There is a high-end gathering of club owners in London. The invitation has been sent long ago."
　　
　　 Ronan remembered this: "This weekend?"
　　
　　 Tom Cruise replied: "Yes, you should have received it too? The current situation, Manchester United may be successful, or it may be nothing, it is very critical."
　　
　　 Ronan thought about the latest schedule and said, "Let’s go there."
　　
　　 Although the loan for the acquisition of Manchester United was passed on to Manchester United in full, Ronan did not really care about the club, he still had a grasp of the basic situation.
　　
　　 In the Premier League this season, Manchester United has been leading the standings, but they have never opened Chelsea, and the points gap between the two sides has never exceeded 3 points.
　　
　　 At present, Manchester United leads Chelsea by two points, just a game of victory or defeat.
　　
Although under Ronan’s intervention, Manchester United stole several goals including Drogba, Cech and Robben from under Chelsea’s nose, but Mourinho in this era seems to be really A magic bird, a team formed by an English player and his Portuguese direct line, is equally astonishing.
　　
　　 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 have been fully strengthened. After the team passed the integration phase at the beginning of the season, Ferguson strategically abandoned the League Cup and the FA Cup, and the team fully responded to the league and the Champions League.
　　
　　 In the league, Manchester United has been leading since the beginning of the season.
　　
　　 In the Champions League, Manchester United has entered the semifinals after knocking out Liverpool, who was dug into the former tactical core Harvey Alonso.
　　
　　 And the opponent in the semi-finals is Mourinho's Chelsea team.
　　
　　 It is no exaggeration to say that the success or failure of Manchester United in a season is closely related to Chelsea.
　　
　　 The other semi-final was between ac Milan and Eindhoven. Based on the strength of the two sides, as long as there is no big accident, ac Milan will definitely enter the Champions League final and appear at the Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.
　　
　　 Manchester United wants to win the second St. Burred Cup in the Ferguson period, first of all to cross the very difficult threshold of Chelsea.
　　
　　 The young and talented Mourinho faces the cunning fox-like Ferguson. It is no surprise that who 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. The parties are interested in putting 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.
　　
　　 put on Manchester United itself, they hope to get more income, as soon as possible to get rid of the huge debt burden that the club owner threw on Manchester United.
　　
　　 In the acquisition case 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 will soon be revealed. Manchester United and Chelsea’s two Champions League semi-finals will also be decided between Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge.
　　
　　Although there is still a while, Ronan and Tom Cruise came to London to participate in the gathering of club owners convened by the FA.
　　
　　 Afterwards, the FA and the Premier League will also supervise 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 FA and the Premier League communicating with the bosses in advance.
　　
　　 Ronan saw William again.
　　
　　On this occasion, the two people only exchanged a few words.
　　
　　Since many people attended with female families, Ronan also met William’s girlfriend Kate.
　　
　　 Compared to Diana, who is the daughter of the Duke, this one was closer to the story of Cinderella.
　　
　　 People who have known Kate's experience a little bit will probably admire Kate and her family, a girl who can marry into the royal family, and does not have the background, identity and status of Diana. How could it be simple?
　　
　　 At that time, there were a lot of related news and rumors on the Internet, which was a living history of an ordinary girl's high-level struggle.
　　
　　From Ronan’s point of view, there is no derogatory meaning in this statement. Looking at this society, who can achieve success across strata, who is not a scheming man or a scheming woman?
　　
　　 Simple-minded people are often eliminated from the starting point.
　　
　　 Looking at the owner of every Premier League club present ~ EbookFREE.me~ including him and Tom Cruise, who is a simple and pure good person.
　　
　　For example, the person who came to Ronan, as a Russian super oligarch, has done something in the process of making a fortune, it is hard for people outside to imagine.
　　
　　 "Hello, Ronan." Abramovich smiled and shook hands with Ronan: "It's nice to see you again."
　　
　　 Ronan responded with a smile: "Roman, I am also very happy to see you."
　　
　　 Abramovich seems to be incompatible with other club owners, or most British bosses are more repulsive of him as a Russian.
　　
　　 Ronan’s situation is a little better, but it is also limited. The British seem to be hostile to outsiders invading their football turf.
　　
　　 Abramovich proposed: "Find a quiet place to chat for a while?"
　　
　　 Ronan certainly would not refuse: "Okay."
　　
　　 The two came to a quiet corner together.
