Chapter 741 Dancing Elephant
The so-called open class means that it is not only Harvard students who come to listen to Ye Qiu's speech, but also teachers and even school leaders. All of them can feel the active atmosphere in the entire classroom.
The speech, which was originally expected to be about 40 minutes, ended for more than twenty minutes than the scheduled time, and it ended in about an hour. This was mainly because the students in the classroom asked questions too enthusiastically, and they could even say that they were unexpectedly enthusiastic, and they even asked many strange questions.
For example, they will ask Ye Qiu what it feels like to lose, and ask Ye Qiu whether he will spy on opponents' intelligence like a spy, etc., but there are also some very constructive questions, such as many people mainly focus on how Ye Qiu formed a coaching team, how to analyze and study opponents, etc.
Ye Qiu also answered these questions one by one. Even at the end of the speech, when the host had announced the end, a college student from London, England who claimed to be a loyal Tottenham Hotspur was shouting loudly and asking Ye Qiu what the team's goal is in the new season.
"Are you really a Tottenham Hotspur fan?" Ye Qiu was about to walk off the podium, but stopped.
“It’s true, my membership number is 01314”
"Then don't you know that we Tottenham Hotspur will always have only one goal, that is the champion." After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled again and said to the student confidently: "But I will do my best to get more."
A burst of extremely warm applause suddenly erupted at the scene, and Ye Qiu left the lecture hall amid the applause of the students.
"A very wonderful speech" Harvard Business School Dean Nitin O Noria walked beside Ye Qiu. The two walked out of the lecture hall side by side, and there were many college students walking out of the lecture hall around, and they were still greeting them.
"Teaching some content about student management in the form of football, and it is full of many vivid cases. This is really wonderful and exciting to hear it." Nitin O Noria praised Ye Qiu beside her while walking.
He is an Indian descendant and the first non-native dean in Harvard's history for more than a hundred years. It is not difficult to see the efforts this Nitin O Noria has made in the past few decades.
"The students here are very good. Teaching them a lesson is a very exciting thing, and it is also a very pleasant and comfortable process. Especially when communicating with them, I found that many of them have made sufficient preparations. I originally thought they were not familiar with football and didn't even like it at all, but I found that I was wrong."
Ye Qiu's words made Nitin O Noria smile and shook her head and said, "You are too modest, do you know? There are very, very many young people who like football because of you and Tottenham Hotspur. Previously, a student proposed to open a course dedicated to studying you at the school forum, and received support and recognition from many students, so we are preparing."
"I am a native earthling, please" Ye Qiu joked.
"But many people regard listening to your lectures, or even studying your past and success as a glory." Nitin O Noria said this very seriously, because he knew that there were many, many students in the school who were Ye Qiu's fans.
Ye Qiu's speech at Harvard University was not only enthusiastic support from students, but even the American media paid attention and reported on it. After the speech, he even appeared in a prominent position on major American news websites, and major news and TV stations also reported on this matter, and many reporters even came to interview students on site.
There is no doubt that this is a very successful speech, full of unknown details and content. At the same time, Ye Qiu is also using football to explain some of his management and business ideas and experiences, which have been supported by students.
Harvard University also quickly uploaded a video of this one-hour open class on its official website, allowing everyone interested to download it from the official website. The video of this open class quickly caused crazy downloads and viewings from netizens around the world, setting off a trend of sought after on the Internet.
After Ye Qiu finished his open class, he quickly returned to New Haven.
Tottenham Hotspur’s pre-match training丨Mauro or Tassoti is mainly responsible. In this regard, Tottenham Hotspur’s entire coaching team has accumulated considerable experience, so everything is easy to understand. Even if Ye Qiu is not there, it will not have much impact.
With the help of Ye Qiu's public class at Harvard University, Tottenham Hotspur also began to build momentum for the team's training in the United States, and major sponsors also took strange tricks to attract the attention of the media and fans, especially in cooperation with Tottenham Hotspur's many publicity and promotion plans. For a time, Tottenham Hotspur completely occupied the important sectors and news time of major American newspapers and TV stations, and caused a huge response in the United States.
In this trend, Tottenham Hotspur played a warm-up match with AC Milan in Boston, and Tottenham Hotspur finally relied on Vidal's goal, Uj AC Milan, but Tottenham Hotspur played in this game but was just better at defense.
The media and reporters have also taken the initiative to find the reasons for Tottenham Hotspur. After all, Tottenham Hotspur has just finished a difficult and cruel physical reserve training, and it is understandable that it is not good to perform well.
In the second warm-up match in New York, facing Pellegrini's Real Madrid, with superstars gathered, Tottenham Hotspur played a crazy offensive football with the La Liga giants. The two sides made a draw. Nesta, who did not play in the first warm-up match, started this time and played the whole game.
But because of this, the team's defense line was twice broken by Real Madrid. However, Ye Qiu gave a high evaluation of the team's performance after the game, believing that the most important thing now is running-in and warm-up. He is already very satisfied with the team's performance. As for Nesta, he believes that as the schedule deepens, he will gradually integrate into the team.
As early as the team was still training in Theoborde! After that, Ye Qiu asked the research center to tailor the training + plan and arrangement for veterans such as Nesta, Drogba and Pirlo, and there were special people to follow them and be responsible for their injury prevention work.
Judging from the team's high-intensity physical reserve training at Theoborde and after coming to the United States, they are not old enough to run. Especially Drogba, relying on his professional spirit, his physical fitness is still very good. Moreover, the rich game experience accumulated over many years of career has made the elephant become smarter and more able to dance.
A giant elephant who is so flexible that he can dance, isn't it scary?
With one win and one draw in the two warm-up matches, Tottenham's performance can only be considered as just-pretty. After all, it is the warm-up match stage. If the condition is too good now, Ye Qiu will feel a little worried.
The third warm-up match was in Washington, with Bayern Munich. This is also the second time that Tottenham Hotspurs encountered the Bundesliga class after the Champions League final. After introducing Manzukic this summer, Bayern Munich's frontcourt was obviously more aggressive, but the midfield has not yet found a suitable candidate, so they still can't do anything to Tottenham Hotspur in this game.
In the end, Tottenham Hotspur beat the opponent steadily and won another victory in the warm-up match.
The Bundesliga matches came earlier than the Premier League, so Bayern Munich's current state is obviously better than Tottenham Hotspur, but Heinx's team's weakness is still quite obvious, especially the defense line, which is a big problem.
After finishing the Washington game, Tottenham Hotspur returned to the New Haven training camp again. After four days of training, he headed south along the east coast of the United States to Miami.
Watson Island, one of the small islands in eastern Miami, is the place where everyone wants to visit Miami.
To the east of this island is Miami's most famous beach, and to the west is downtown Miami. The beautiful Miami scenery that often appears in Hollywood movies is basically on these islands and beaches.
Watson Island has the famous Miami Children's Museum, Miami's largest yacht port, and the most famous Jungle Island theme park. The latter is one of the most famous attractions in Miami, with more than 3,000 wild animals and more than 500 plants. It is a must-see place for all tourists to come to Miami.
But it is such a small island. A road connecting the beach and the city divides the island into two. The northeast half is jungle to the yacht center, while the southwest half is only a children's museum, and the others are open spaces, because more than a decade ago, investors proposed plans to build a commercial center here.
By about 10 years, they formally proposed to build a skyscraper of 975 meters here, which would surpass the Dubai Tower and become the tallest building in the world. The entire plan had completed the design and land acquisition links, but in the end, this plan had to be suspended within the past two years.
The reason is simple, no money
Everyone knows that this plan has great potential, because according to the design plan, the building's energy will all come from renewable energy, of which UU% comes from wind energy, and the use of a series of new technologies such as greenhouse gas management and wastewater recycling makes the entire building have very advanced ecological technology.
In addition, this skyscraper is planned to build 160 floors, including amusement parks, observatories, trade centers, shopping centers, restaurants, shops, apartments, office areas, hotels, docks, yachts and other facilities. They have everything, and will occupy most of the land in the southwest half of the island. They even applied for a flight ban from the Federal Aviation Administration for this purpose.
In other words, because of this skyscraper, American planes in Miami will be forced to divert the route.
The reason is very simple. Even the Miami government is very clear that this is a city-city plan. Once successful, it will become a brand new commercial city in Miami. The new commercial center will create 50,000 construction jobs and 40,000 permanent jobs. It can bring about 3 billion yuan in funds and a billion dollar tax revenue every year to the Miami economy, which will directly drive the entire Miami economy to improve again. This will undoubtedly be a great help for Miami's ambitious desire to become a commercial center in the Americas.
The Americas mentioned here are mainly targeted at countries south of the United States. They have been talking about the American Free Trade Area for the past decade. Although the negotiations have fallen into a bottleneck, Miami has always been regarded as a very important commercial center in the Americas.
But such a plan has fallen into a state of stagnation because no banks are willing to provide financial support and loans.
Because the total investment of this plan is also very amazing, up to 4 billion US dollars, it is indeed difficult for American banks to attract their interest in this plan for the subprime mortgage crisis.
But it may not be true for others.
Ye Qiu was holding a parasol and wearing the evening sun, and appeared on the construction site southwest of Watson Island. Chen Zhong also held an umbrella and walked beside him. He had just returned to Miami from Tallahassee, the capital of Florida, and brought back a promise.
"They have agreed that we will take over, and they also agree that you will build a new stadium here and use public finance to help your new stadium. We don't have such benefits, and even the banks have to deal with it ourselves." Chen Zhong felt that the state legislature favored one and the other when he spoke.
In recent years, the government has been encouraging domestic companies to invest abroad, including the United States. Although Huangtian Group is actively transforming, it has successfully set a few precedents for real estate projects abroad and set a good example for domestic real estate companies, that is, go abroad and make money from the world
Using Chen Zhong’s joke, people from other countries in the world become house slaves.
Of course, Chen Zhong himself conducted a thorough investigation within Huangtian Group for a project with an investment of up to 4 billion US dollars, and finally agreed that with Huangtian Group's current strength and relationships, he could bring a group of domestic corporate partners to operate this plan.
In the short term, this plan is good for the economy of Miami and Florida and is very stimulating, but in the long run, when you contribute more than one billion in taxes to them a year, and when your midtown plan becomes an important part of the Miami economy, you can influence some of their policies.
This principle is common throughout the world
"But to be honest, I heard that the football market in Miami is not good, so why would you choose to set up a new team here?" Chen Zhong was full of doubts about Ye Qiu's decision.
To be honest, even without Ye Qiu, Huangtian Group could still win this skyscraper project. But why did Ye Qiu choose to build a new team in Miami, a city that is not interested in British football?
You should know that around the century, Miami had two football teams, namely Miami Fusion and Tampa Bay Rebellion, but both teams announced their withdrawal from the major leagues in 201. The reason is very simple. The fans here don’t buy it and there are not many spectators.
After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled, "That was the beginning of the century, but now it is the year, it has been eleven years."
The major leagues at the beginning of the century did not have much attractiveness, but in the past decade, the US football market has become increasingly popular with the active development of European giant teams. This can be seen from the fact that football can become the second largest sport in the United States, and the number of fans is increasing.
The major leagues in the United States are different from the European League. They play in a fixed number of teams, which means that once they are established, it will be difficult to join a new team. This means that Miami Tottenham will monopolize the entire Miami and even Florida football market in the future, and the team has great potential for future development.
Moreover, with the business environment in the United States, the Major League has formulated a series of measures such as salary caps to encourage healthy operations. The development potential of major league teams in the future is really amazing. In addition to Tottenham's relationship and influence, I believe there is great potential.
"It is precisely because everyone thinks that the American football market is not good and not many people are interested that I came in. When everyone realizes that the major leagues are beginning to enter a rapid development, a major league team will be of amazing value, especially a major league team with a beautiful advanced football field."
Ye Qiu deeply believes that this is a very cost-effective transaction, but his future business focus will still be on Tottenham Hotspur.
This is a bit similar to the way Ajax and Ajax Cape Town in South Africa. The difference is that Ajax Cape Town is more about providing talent and youth training for the parent team | He needs Ajax blood transfusions, so this model is very stressful for Ajax.
But Miami Tottenham is different. It is one of the richest cities in the United States. When setting up a team here and participating in major league games, Miami Tottenham can support itself, and rely on Tottenham to send a group of outdated superstars. Miami Tottenham can gain a foothold in the United States and have more appeal in Miami and Florida.
This is also the reason why Beckham, even LeBron and James are so optimistic about this team and try every means to find Ye Qiu through relationships and get some shares. This is an investment, investment in the future.
Ye Qiu has released some shares to attract these stars. I won’t say much about it. As long as LeBron and James appear on the spot from time to time to watch the game out of support for their team, it is estimated that the attendance rate of this stadium will not be low and its influence in the United States will not be poor.
"I may not be good at doing business, but if you want to do football, buddy, you are too far away from me." Ye Qiu smiled and patted Chen Zhong's shoulder, with a very striking attitude.
Although Chen Zhong had a very resentful expression, he actually knew that even when doing business, especially some investment vision, he was not as good as Ye Qiu. At least Ye Qiu has proved this with facts in the past few years.
