Chapter 1739 The World Is Ponzi

Football is just a trivial business, and Zhou Buqi wants to do something more.Investing in Manchester United is because of hobbies.To be a multinational football group, I actually want to explore a path that may exist that may make some changes for the national football team.

It is too difficult for domestic players to go abroad.

There are probably three reasons.

First, the salary level in China is high, and you can’t earn so much money when you go abroad, and you have no motivation;

Second, the club is unwilling to release the player for the sake of its own performance, and does not assume responsibility for the player's future development;

Three, the level is too poor.

To say that the level of domestic players is really bad is not necessarily true. At least in the youth stage, domestic teams are not much worse than European teams, whether it is technical level or basic skills, they will not be much worse.

What really widens the gap is after the age of 16. After entering the professional sequence, the gap widens visible to the naked eye.This shows that the backwardness of the national football team is not due to the lack of talent of domestic players, but the lack of professional development in the later period.When I grow up, the professional system is too backward, and I am used to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League, so I will go to Europe to have a look... Ho!Totally two sports.

If possible, players should be allowed to develop abroad as soon as possible. They can't go to Europe, even if they go to Korea and Japan.

However, Zhou Buqi was like a bright mirror in his heart.

The way I did it myself is more of a formalism. Unless a miracle happens, it will be difficult to really play a role.It is more for the people of the country to see, to seal their mouths.

At that time, like other big bosses who play football, he will not be able to change the status quo of the national football team, nor will he be able to blame him.In order to build a channel for domestic players to develop overseas, he did not hesitate to buy five or six teams around the world, which is courageous and sincere enough.

The actual significance of this multinational football group depends more on the local development of football and the blood supply to Manchester United through football advertising and "Ziwei Galaxy" business.

Next, Zhou Buqi will go to Switzerland.

Mainly two things.

First, go meet and talk to the owner of the Zurich team.

Second, entrusted by the Entrepreneur Club to meet Chinese investors in Europe.

The night before leaving Manchester, Zhou Buqi slept in Senior Sister Zhenyu's room, and talked with her in his arms after the clouds and rain had cleared, and he talked about this matter.

Senior Sister Zhenyu was very cautious, "I think... I think you should not participate indiscriminately, and be careful to blame you for losing money."

"what?"

Zhou Buqi put his arms around him, a little funny.

Zhen Yu said seriously: "I'm not joking with you. I conducted a special investigation. Now our country's overseas net assets exceed 1.7 trillion US dollars. However, in the past 7 years, the income of overseas assets has been negative in 5 years. This year In the first half of the year, it lost more than 130 billion U.S. dollars."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "It's not the same. Don't compare with Ziwei Star. Our private capital is only a few dollars, and we don't need to undertake too many national strategies. The strategic goal of 'going out' should be to pursue high Profit, access to natural resources, or expansion of the host country’s market share. It is almost impossible to meet all three goals at the same time. Meeting one of these goals is a valuable investment.”

It is certainly a good investment in pursuit of high profits and access to natural resources.But from the perspective of the country, if the market share can be expanded, it is also a very strategic investment.

For example, Zhou Buqi was going to Switzerland to discuss a case. Liugong Group, a domestic construction equipment giant, wanted to acquire the construction machinery division of Poland HSW Group.

This is a very loss-making division.

After Liugong takes over, it will be difficult to generate profits, and it may have to post money every year.At first glance, it seems that it is suspected of making money in China to subsidize foreigners.

However, with an increase in market share, LiuGong can occupy a very important place in the field of engineering equipment in Poland, which opens up the infrastructure market in Poland and provides a basis for more large-scale infrastructure cooperation in the future.

After occupying the market share, if one day Liugong runs out of stock to Poland, Poland's engineering equipment will encounter a shortage crisis, which will affect the infrastructure construction of the entire country of Poland, and then bring a certain social crisis .

The business pattern indirectly affects the international pattern.

This is similar to the operating logic of Microsoft's operating system in China.

Microsoft is the most profitable technology giant in the world. It mainly relies on selling operating systems. The price is extremely high, and it has to be bought.But in China, the price of Microsoft's system is much lower than that of foreign countries, and it may even be free.

It's not because Bill Gates is pro-China playing double standards and licking domestic users. On the contrary, domestic operating systems cannot be implemented, part of the reason is that Microsoft's attitude is too friendly, which makes domestic operating systems lack the necessary market value.

In fact, it is dumping logic.

There are too many similar things. Most of the domestic products are sold at a lower price abroad than in China, such as shoes, hats, glasses, tires, glass, liquor, soy sauce, and toilet seat covers.

The difference is that Laomei sells high-tech products, and its domestic foundation is too weak, so it can only sell some low-end products.

Zhen Yu's mood is not stable recently, it should be that the investment is not going well, she snorted softly: "In business, in the final analysis, you still have to generate profits. I have now discovered that the world is full of Ponzis, no matter what assets you have, you must be careful Don't be a receiver."

Then, she picked up the walkie-talkie and said quickly, "Lulu, can you get me a glass of water? Thank you."

"The whole world is Ponzi? Why do you suddenly feel this way?" Zhou Buqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Senior Sister, are you being stimulated?"

"no!"

"What about the European debt?"

Zhou Buqi could guess something. In the past one or two months, Senior Sister Zhenyu didn't discuss the Greek national debt with him, so she was probably exhausted.

Sure enough, when this episode was mentioned, Zhen Yu's expression collapsed, "Ponzi, it's all Ponzi!"

Zhou Buqi laughed out loud.

Zhen Yu said: "The commercial market in this world is a Ponzi scheme. There is no real value at all. The key is to grasp the timing of the transaction. Whoever gets it in his hands will suffer the most. If in June I put the Greek If you sell the national debt and buy it back at the current price, you may earn 6 billion dollars. Now I feel more and more that what Li Chaoren said makes sense. Don’t try to earn every last copper coin. You have to run when you have to. The Ponzi bubble burst, and I couldn’t run even if I wanted to.”

Zhou Buqi leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, "Senior sister, why do I feel that you are a little dazed?"

"Am I wrong?" Zhen Yu looked at him with burning eyes.

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, but the level is a little lower."

"what?"

Zhen Yu gave him a charming look.

Zhou Buqi said: "If you divide the matter of making money into 10 levels, the world you are talking about is Ponzi... probably the 8th level, which is already very high, surpassing 99.99% of the world's people. But this is still Not enough, there are two floors above. On the 9th floor, history is always repeating. When I spoke at the Entrepreneur Club, I said that many businessmen like to study EBMA classes, and then find various business If you read management books, they are too low-end, and small bosses can read them. Big bosses still need to read some books on humanities and history to understand the relationship between business and society more deeply.”

"The 9th floor you mentioned..." Zhen Yu was very smart and immediately realized, "Cycle?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, cycle. I told you a long time ago, don't worry, as long as Greece does not go bankrupt, there must be a cycle. The short-term rise and fall of national debt will not affect the larger cycle. As long as The European economy has recovered, the Greek crisis has passed, and the price of Greek government bonds can return to normal. With your investment scale, you can easily earn five or six times. Short-term losses are nothing at all. You are not afraid of losing money in a bear market , Just wait for the bull market cycle to come.”

Zhen Yu sighed softly, and said pitifully, "Honey, I'm not made for this, I don't want to do it, I'm worried and tired."

Zhou Buqi laughed loudly, and went over to give her a long kiss, "If you don't want to do it, then don't do it, happiness is the most important thing!"

"Really?"

Zhen Yu's eyes lit up.

This kind of thing is easy to say, but too difficult to do. With such a turbulent economic environment in Europe, bond prices fluctuate greatly. If you pay attention to the market every day, your head will explode.

It's like an exam. Even if a person without talent knows the correct answer, he can't do well in the exam, and he can't bear the stress of the exam.

Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "If you don't do it, then don't do it. Originally, this business is for you as a game. If you don't like it, then you don't play it. Withdraw! Well, how much did you lose? 6 million US dollars, all lost Gone?"

"Where is it?" Zhen Yu rolled her eyes, "The principal is 6 million US dollars, and now there are 11.9 billion US dollars in the account. If you withdraw now, even with tax deductions, you can make a net profit of 4 million US dollars."

Zhou Buqi said happily: "This is not very good, the results are very fruitful!"

Zhen Yu said helplessly: "At the most, the total assets exceeded 17 billion U.S. dollars, and they have lost money in the past two months. If they don't withdraw now, they may have to go down. There seems to be something wrong with Spain's national debt. There's a chain reaction."

Zhou Buqi didn’t force himself, since Senior Sister Zhen Yu wasn’t the kind of material, so she didn’t do it, and said with a smile: “Anyway, we made a lot of money! Uh… we made $4 million, and we just happen to be doing cross-border football.” As for the group, how about investing here?"

"It's all right, you arrange it."

When there are many people, Senior Sister Zhenyu actually holds her head upright, acting like a strong woman, similar to Shi Jinglin.In private with Zhou Buqi's two-person space, she is much gentler, and the little bird is very similar to Wu Yu.

At this time, Ning Lu came over with two glasses of water, and Zhen Yu stopped snuggling into the man's arms, sat up straight, and pulled up the quilt to cover her round and fair shoulders.

"Thank you."

Zhen Yu's face turned reddish, a little embarrassed.

Ning Lu pursed her lips into a smile, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Just now I noticed that Jiang Shuying's eyes were red, as if she had cried. Is it not good to bully her like this?"

Zhou Buqi took a sip of water, and the old god was saying: "Training a woman is just like the most profound investment philosophy. It's about suffering, that's... Huh? What are you two looking like? Damn, I didn't say you Two. Forget it, women are a more advanced knowledge than investment, and you don’t understand if you tell me. You go and tell her, just say...just say that I have some free time these days, so I will hire her to sleep and let her Take it easy, be patient!"
