Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1981 Home
The next day, Zhou Buqi was accompanied by Yingying Yanyan, Shi Jinglin, Sun Guanran, Ning Lu and Mai Feixue.Fortunately, there are seven or eight men in some of Manchester United's core executives, and the large team looks relatively normal.

Mainly to see the progress of the construction work.

It is four places.

First went to Old Trafford.

The facilities of the Dream Theater are backward. After Zhou Buqi took over, the renovation plan was launched. A wave of renovations will be carried out every summer, usually from May to September. The games at the beginning of the new season may be affected to some extent.

This summer, all the seats in the stadium will be refurbished, including adjustments in layout, position, height, etc. All seats will be removed, re-planned, re-designed, and re-installed.

The total investment is 4800 million pounds.

At present, 95% of the project has been completed, and the last point of the west stand is still unfinished.During the game, this stand will be covered by a large curtain.

The project went well.

It is estimated that there will be another 5-6 years of summer renovation, and the entire stadium will be completely remodeled inside and out, and it will be transformed into a great modern stadium with a new look.

No way, the Old Trafford stadium in the past was embarrassing.

How embarrassing is it?

It doesn't even meet the new UEFA standards, and it can't undertake a major event like the Champions League final.Originally, last season's Champions League final was settled in the UK.

What shames the entire Premier League is that whether it is Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, or Arsenal, these giants look very powerful, but in fact the level of the stadium is too low.

There was no way, and finally the stadium was chosen at Wembley Stadium, held in a neutral stadium.Fortunately, for Manchester United, it can be regarded as half a home game. They defeated Barcelona in the Champions League final and successfully won the Big Ears Cup in revenge.

The second place is the transformation of the training base.

Manchester City spent huge sums of money to renovate the training base, training facilities, and youth training equipment. Manchester United must follow up and cannot be at a disadvantage in this regard.

Last night, Zhou Buqi had reached a non-aggression pact with Mansour.

One of them is that the youth training echelons of both sides should not poach each other.

This requires Manchester United to have higher investment and facility standards in the construction of youth training, otherwise the young players will go to Manchester City.

The third place is a five-star hotel project not far from the training base, with a design height of 32 floors.

The design team is from London, and the construction team is from the local area.

Construction has already started.

Excavators, large trucks, dump trucks... There are many workers and masters.

Zhou Buqi glanced at it casually, but was not very satisfied. He felt that the efficiency of the construction team was too low, and the work attitude was not serious.If the construction team is brought in from China, maybe by this time next year, the five-star hotel will be able to open!

But there is no other way but to do it this way.

Manchester United's large-scale infrastructure construction is based on the support of Manchester City Hall, which is a 2.13-year interest-free loan of 15 million pounds from the finance.

Among them, the funding for the five-star hotel project is 1.42 million pounds.

The remaining 7000 million pounds is mainly used for the renovation and reconstruction of the Carrington base, as well as Manchester United's care and warmth to the surrounding communities.

This is the fourth project.

Manchester United will invest 1500 million pounds to help 7 surrounding communities, a total of 62 residential buildings, independent houses, and apartments to renovate and upgrade, so as to demonstrate the social value of Manchester United and convey Manchester United's values ​​​​to the public.

To understand it from another angle, Manchester United actually spent 1500 million pounds, applied for an interest-free loan of 2.1 million pounds, and conducted a wave of marketing, and won the love of the surrounding residents for Manchester United, making them even more fond of Manchester United. support.

The transformation of the 7 communities is not only as simple as the beautification of the communities and the renovation of the walls of residential buildings, but also the implantation of Manchester United elements.

Let all the neighborhoods near the Old Trafford Stadium be covered with Manchester United's logo and a sea of ​​red everywhere, which is equivalent to occupying other people's sites and advertising Manchester United for free.

In fact, it is also a strategy to cooperate with the government's football city and tourist city.

Similar work is also being done at Manchester City.

It is basically the whole of Manchester, and the importance of Manchester United and Manchester City can be imagined.

During the research of Zhou Buqi, too many local leaders and intellectuals came to visit, accompanied by the mayor and councilors, as well as local bankers and bosses of listed companies.

The research team consisted of 14 people, and the accompanying team consisted of more than 20 people. A total of three minibuses were prepared.

The focus of the whole process, of course, is Zhou Buqi.

There is quite a bit of power to follow the law.

When passing by a commercial and shopping pedestrian street not far from Old Trafford, he said casually: "More Manchester United elements should be added here."

With the addition of Manchester United elements, when tourists visit Old Trafford Stadium, they may also come to this shopping festival to experience the local Manchester United culture.

It will promote consumption and drive the tourism economy.

Manchester United will invest 100 million pounds to promote the transformation of the commercial street. The city hall also immediately stated that it will participate in this project. As long as it passes the approval of the parliament, it will spend no less than 100 million pounds to cooperate. Get involved.

As Zhou Buqi's women, Shi Jinglin and Sun Guanran were also honored under such a star-studded position. They felt that their faces were radiant and they felt great respect.

Mai Feixue, who experienced this kind of scene for the first time, was even more shocked.

Although her English is not very good, she can't understand what they are saying.

But this scene is unforgettable.

So many white people clustered around the big boss, all with flattering smiles on their faces, all following in his footsteps, with him as the core... This really refreshed her understanding of the big boss Zhou.

In China before, she only knew that the big boss was rich and had a big business.

When you come to a foreign country, you can see the true face of the big boss.

Private jets, top mansions, the visit of Prince William, the visit of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and families like daughters... It's even more so when you come to Manchester.

Here, the big boss seems to have more glory than in Ziweixing headquarters.

It seems that this is his real home.

In short, Mai Feixue was greatly touched.

At noon, the entire restaurant was booked, and everyone had dinner together.Then, everyone present will go to the VIP seats at the Old Trafford Stadium to watch the focus of this round of the Premier League starting at 2 pm-Manchester United VS Tottenham.

This can be said to be a game of grievances.

In the summer, because of the transfer of Modric, the two clubs broke up.

However, the Manchester United lineup for the new season has undergone some adjustments, and the coaching team has also been replaced.The new coaching team may not have adapted to the Premier League environment, and it may be that the players have not adapted to the new tactics. In short, the team's performance is not very good.

This game is particularly critical.

This is home.

A lot of attention.

Zhou Buqi didn't have much confidence in this game, so he vaccinated the guests who came to watch the game early, "As long as Manchester United is not relegated, Klopp will always be the team's head coach!"

Having said that, it was not easy for Zhou Buqi after the game started.

Looking forward to winning this game.

Klopp is under a lot of pressure, and his big boss is also under a lot of pressure.

However, Ning Lu next to her was not a football fan, so she had nothing to do. She swiped her phone and watched the news. Not long after the opening, she noticed a very important piece of news.

"so serious?"

Ning Lu had an unbelievable expression.

Zhou Buqi turned his head and glanced at her, "What's the matter? What a fuss!"

Ning Lu said: "HP acquired Autonomy, you know that?"

"Ah."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

The past few months have been the trough of the technology industry, and it is an excellent time to buy bottoms. Almost all technology giants are taking action, buying and buying all the way.Coupled with the decline of the PC industry, PC giants like HP, Dell, and Lenovo are trying to transform.

Dell is preparing for privatization to make servers, Lenovo is making smart phones, and HP is choosing the direction of software services. They will spend 120 billion US dollars to acquire Autonomy, a British software service company.

The so-called software service is similar to Kurian's next development plan for Ziweiyun, which is to develop in the direction of SaaS.

For the deal between HP and Autonomy, Zhou Buqi is actually unwilling to see it.

Although Autonomy has a certain influence in the UK, it is not enough to look at the world.Relying on the advantages of strong resource integration, Ziweiyun can completely surpass them in the UK as time goes by.

But once HP bought Autonomy, it was different.

Although HP is in decline, it is also an international giant with extensive international channels.If they were allowed to acquire Autonomy, it would be even more powerful. It would not be so easy for Ziweiyun to persuade Autonomy in the UK.

Ning Lu said, "Something went wrong in this case."

"An accident?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "What happened? Didn't everything pass the supervision and the transaction was completed?"

Ning Lu looked down at the phone, and said softly, "It's finished, but something happened, HP sued Autonomy."

"Huh? Why?"

"It seems to say that Autonomy's financial fraud."

"I go!"

Zhou Buqi was stunned.

Ning Lu checked a few more news, and slowly said: "It is said that Autonomy inflated its profits, causing HP to pay an extra 55 billion US dollars in this acquisition, causing huge losses to HP. Now It’s over, Autonomy is over, HP is also over, maybe a lot of people will go to jail.”

"Haha, good thing!"

Zhou Buqi gloated a little, and then suddenly jumped up from the chair.

In the 12th minute of the first half, a goal was scored!

New aid Vidal made a steal in the frontcourt and gave it to Carrick next to him, who made a pass to Robben on the right.The latter did not stop the ball, and drilled into the net with the iconic arc of the left foot in the penalty area!
The ball is in!
Manchester United quickly took the lead at home!
