Red Rebels

In Xiao Yu's original plan, business operations not only included the club, but also the vicinity of the stadium, so he decided to buy all the land around the city stadium.

Now that the value of the land has risen, and the city government is also planning this area, Xiao Yu can clearly see that once the surrounding land is managed, the rent alone will be enough for the new Manchester United to benefit in the future.

According to the estimates of Mark David and the staff of the Ministry of Commerce, once the stadium is formed, the new Manchester United has achieved excellent results, and if the nearby land also appreciates, just renting out the four corners of the land can bring great benefits to the new Manchester United every year. Less than £10 million in revenue, and then to count the stadium operations.

The Old Trafford Stadium is located in the Old Trafford Shopping Park, which is undoubtedly their innate advantage, but the defects are also obvious, but the new Manchester United is different, this area has not been developed, and the business potential is huge.

If nothing else, just look at the companies that are currently interested in the land of the new Manchester United, such as Vodafone, Audi, Citibank, Adidas, etc. Which one is not a large multinational company, and why are they willing to invest in this piece?

In addition to the planning of the Manchester City Government, at the same time, when Xiao Yu was operating this land, he told Mark David that we should give full play to the advantages of the stadium, focus on development and planning, and take the stadium as the core to drive the surrounding areas. business potential.

It is conceivable that, under the operation of the new Manchester United Commerce Department, once major companies such as Vodafone and Audi enter the vicinity of the city stadium, the next step of the city government will definitely be to focus on planning the west and south of the city stadium, so that the entire area will benefit. You can imagine how prosperous it will be by then.

This is an investment that will make the club infinitely useful, just as wise and investment-minded as Real Madrid's Bernabeu chairman bought the land near the Bernabeu Stadium.

"I talked to the city government, the subway can set up a special station in the west of our stadium, and at the same time, more buses will be arranged to pass through here. A series of initiatives have been launched to complement our stadium construction."

Mark Davey said with a smile that he is now dealing with the mayor and councillors of Manchester. His backs are straight and he speaks with great confidence, because their planning of the city stadium is in the commercial field. attracted considerable attention.

Walsh is extremely dissatisfied with this, and often complains that when he went to deal with the city government for the land of the city stadium, he pretended to be a grandson and did not make them happy, but now they have turned around and come one by one. Flattering Mark Davey makes Walsh complain about injustice.

"Yes, we can cooperate with them completely, but you have to let them help us solve a big problem first!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Alternate pitch?" David thought at once.

"Of course, the construction period of the new stadium will take at least two years, and in these two years, we have to rent a stadium from outside. As far as I can see, the only ones that can be allowed are Manchester City's Maine Road and Manchester United's Old Trafford. Stadium, but I don't think they are willing to negotiate with us unless someone comes forward to help us deal with it!"

Although the new Manchester United was born out of Manchester United, in fact, the fans are not very interested in Manchester United. Especially after the Edwards incident, the fans are more inclined to the Red Rebels, and even more and more fans have given up Manchester United and changed their minds. Join the Red Rebels.

In the past few years, the new Manchester United has been very careful about the management of the fans. In addition to the establishment of the Red Rebel Foundation, it has also continuously launched a variety of services for the fans. Yu Min's approach has made fans feel more and more that the club cares about them, so the new Manchester United has become more and more popular in Manchester.

This is not difficult to see from the new Manchester United's home attendance.

Recently, Xiao Yu vaguely heard the wind,

The Glazer family from the United States is actively buying shares in the hands of Manchester United shareholders. In addition to the shares of Edwards and Murdoch, they are also making acquisitions in the market.

But there is no need to worry about him controlling Manchester United for the time being, because two of Ferguson's good friends, Irish horse racing tycoon Magnier and McManus, hold more than 20% of Manchester United's shares, and they also made it clear , will not sell Manchester United shares, because they are best friends of Ferguson.

But what Xiao Yu is worried about is that in a few months, when the racehorse [Rock of Gibraltar] that Magnier gave Ferguson retires, Ferguson will fall out with Magnier over the breeding issue, and maybe at that time. Give the Glazer family a chance to get in.

But Xiao Yu obviously had no way to remind Ferguson, because he was currently fighting with Manier and others. You must know that the latter helped him bring down Edwards, and Ferguson was a very stubborn person, Xiao Yu reminded He, in turn, might be considered to be provoking discord. Xiao Yu would never do such a thankless task.

And frankly speaking, the Manchester United thing has nothing to do with Xiao Yu, he cares about the Red Rebels, as well as friends such as Beckham.

"Okay, Mark, you go talk to the city government and let them deal with Manchester United. We will rent their Old Trafford stadium next season to test Manchester United's tone. If it doesn't work, then we will do it again. Try Manchester City."

Xiao Yu's first choice is Old Trafford, because he thinks that it must be very, very interesting for the Red Rebels to enter Old Trafford, and the funniest thing is that the new Manchester United's ticket price is relative to Manchester United's In other words, it is very low.

Just imagine, the same stadium, but two completely different sets of fares, I don't know what Manchester United will do when the time comes.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, but the Red Rebels can kill or bury them!

This question gives Kenyon a headache!

At this moment, Xiao Yu's phone suddenly rang.

"I'm sorry, you continue!" Xiao Yu pleaded guilty, got up, picked up the phone, and went to the isolation room of the conference room.

…………

…………

"Hey, Steve, why do you have time to call me?" Xiao Yu answered the phone with a smile. The Steve in his mouth was not Bruce, but Steve Jobs, the president of Apple.

"Long time no see, take care of my old friend, Xiao Yu!" Jobs was clearly in a good mood and smiled, "Have you been in trouble recently, my friend?"

"Trouble?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised, "What trouble can I have?"

"But I heard that you asked John Davey to come to the United States to negotiate several transactions, and you decided to sell a lot of shares in the company. What's the matter?" Jobs seemed very concerned.

"Oh, that's it, Steve, I don't think these companies have much appreciation potential anymore, and I'm just busy with a big project recently, and I really need some capital, so I decided to sell these shares, what, Apple Inc. Are you interested?"

Jobs smiled, but did not give an answer, "Xiao Yu, I heard that you are going to build a new stadium for your football club. I am afraid that you need funds for this, right?"

When Xiao Yu heard this, he immediately laughed, "That's right, Steve, you know, that's at least 250 million pounds. Apart from stocks, I really don't have much value!"

"No no no, Xiao Yu, if you are willing to sell your time, our company is willing to pay the money to help you build that stadium, but I know you won't!" Jobs was relieved, he thought Xiao Yu What tough troubles have you run into.

If it's just to build a stadium, then Jobs has nothing to worry about, because Xiao Yu has always been such a person, as Jobs said, for football, he is willing to do crazy things, not to mention just selling shares of several companies.

"I also heard that you recently invested in DreamWorks with George Bruni and others! For your girlfriend?" Jobs laughed.

"Hehe, there's no way, she prefers movies, this is a taste that you, a workaholic, won't understand, Steve!"

Jobs laughed loudly over the phone. For some reason, he was a workaholic, but his relationship with Xiao Yu was very cordial, as if he had been friends with each other.

"Oh yes, Steve, Apple

How is the Store program going? "Xiao Yu asked with concern, the Apple flagship store is another major masterpiece of Apple in the future.

"Very well, Xiao Yu, we have opened several flagship stores in the United States, and we are planning to enter Europe." Jobs's admiration for Xiao Yu increased even more. You must know that this plan was given to Xiao Yu. He brought it up.

"Oh, come to Europe, are you interested in opening a store in Manchester?" Xiao Yu suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

Apple's products will be the focus of the world's attention in the future, and Apple's flagship store is highly sought after by Apple fans. If Apple's flagship store can be introduced into the new Manchester United plan, I believe it can greatly improve this area. Appeal.

"What? Do you have any good ideas?" Jobs asked with interest.

Xiao Yu immediately expressed his thoughts. He planned to arrange the Apple flagship store in the urban stadium planning, and then let Herzog and de Meuron be responsible for the design of the flagship store. He believed that these two powerful combinations would definitely Can create a more shocking effect.

"Well, I'll let the company's people go to Manchester. You can arrange for someone to have a good talk with them, but I don't dare to make a deal!" Jobs said with a smile.

"Don't even take care of the shareholders?" Xiao Yu asked rhetorically.

"Of course, you haven't come to a shareholder meeting in a year!"

Jobs' remarks immediately amused Xiao Yu.

The two began to chat a lot again. Among them, Xiao Yu also chatted with Jobs about the future development of Apple based on his own memory. Although many ideas have been mentioned before, they were only briefly mentioned at that time. Based on his own memory, Xiao Yu tried to be as complete as possible.

Xiao Yu was not a technical workaholic like Steve Jobs. It was okay for him to talk about it, but when Jobs proposed to let him go to the United States for a while, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.

He still prefers Manchester because the Red Rebels are here!
