After spending several hours in the evening, Zhou Buqi created a plan called "All-round Manchester United Take-off Development Plan".

This will be his bargaining chip to impress Manchester United's veterans and management.

Full of sincerity.

1. Strip debt.

All debts of Manchester United must be borne by the controlling party, and the club is not responsible. This is a trump card, and it solves Manchester United's most serious crisis at the moment.

2. Stadium expansion plan.

Manchester United's home stadium is called Old Trafford. It has a history of nearly 100 years and is one of the greatest stadiums in Europe. But it is too old and not large enough, with only 76,000 seats. In fact, the expansion

The plan was launched very early, but after the Glazer family took over, they had no money to expand the stadium.

After Zhou Buqi took over, he needed to further repair the stadium, not only expand it, but also invest heavily in modernization to transform Old Trafford into the most dreamy stadium in the world.

3. Reconstruct influence.

This is a grand proposition.

This summer, the team's star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, was about to leave the team and join Real Madrid. Ferguson persuaded him earnestly and persuaded him to play for Manchester United for another year. The two were as close as father and son, so Cristiano Ronaldo agreed. But love can't do it.

Kidnapping dreams, Ronaldo will definitely join Real Madrid next summer.

This is ridiculous.

In the past few years, Real Madrid has been losing weight every year, but Manchester United is the strongest team in Europe and the European champion. Even so, the star player also wants to join Real Madrid.

Why?

Why is Manchester United's influence worse than Real Madrid?

This must change!

It is necessary to strengthen the construction of Manchester United's brand image, to highlight the club's wealthy temperament, and to make the Theater of Dreams, like the Bernabeu, a holy place that all young players yearn for.

To achieve this, Article 4 is needed.

4. Superstar policy.

Real Madrid's global influence actually only happened in seven or eight years, and came from Florentino's superstar policy. Before that, Real Madrid's influence was not outstanding at all, and it was much worse than the major Italian clubs. Superstars

Policies have transformed Real Madrid and become the first team in Europe to realize club value through brand value.

Manchester United's debts have been divested and they have money. From now on, Manchester United must become the darling of the transfer market! It must become the brightest and most hyped team in the market.

It must have both competitive strength and commercial and cultural influence.

You want to buy the best, most expensive, most influential, most fans-loved star to join Manchester United.

Fifth, continue to improve competitiveness.

Let Manchester United continue to be the best team in Manchester, England, and even Europe.

The first is city rival Manchester City. The Abu Dhabi consortium acquired Manchester City. It is conceivable that in the next few years, they will spend a lot of money to buy outstanding players at any cost.

In the Premier League, there are not only mortal rivals Liverpool, but also powerful rivals like Chelsea and Arsenal. Chelsea, in particular, also has wealthy owners who spend countless amounts on transfer fees.

If Manchester United does not take appropriate measures to follow the market trend, its current dominance will inevitably be gradually replaced by Jinyuan. After Zhou Buqi becomes the owner of Dream Theater, this problem will be easily solved.

Boss Zhou is not a vampire. Under normal circumstances, he will not take a penny from Manchester United. Not only does he not take money, but he also continues to give money every year to support the all-round development of Manchester United.

Six, respect.

Respect the players, respect the peers, respect the competitors... We must create a first-class image for Manchester United in the industry, which is humble, down-to-earth, friendly, sharing, united, and respectful of football.

Seven, please the fans.

All in all, a full ten-point development outline was written.

It was enough to convince those British guys.

Xue Baoshan came over to help him check the manuscript and then translate it into English, which was easier for her. After revising, Zhou Buqi selected a few overly complex words and sentence paragraphs and simplified them.

"Is it over?" Sun Wanran yawned, "It's already 11 o'clock. I still have something to do tomorrow. Let's rest."

"It's over, let's turn on the water, take a bath and go to bed."

Zhou Buqi stretched his waist.

On this side, Xue Baoshan was about to process the final materials and asked softly: "Such a big plan will cost a lot of money."

Zhou Buqi said: "Football is not a pure business."

"Isn't it?"

"If I'm doing business, what can I do to make more money than this? Football is the world's number one sport, and the meaning behind it is influence. In the democratically elected Western system, influence is politics."

"Ah?" Xue Baoshan turned to look at him, her beautiful eyes widened, "Why are you doing this?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Look at the owner of Chelsea, who almost had his house confiscated like other oligarchs. When he appeared at Chelsea, the whole world knew him. This is world-class influence and the true meaning of football."

Xue Baoshan said: "Football is the patron saint."

"Yes, a patron saint." Zhou Buqi laughed, "Not only a patron saint, but also a stepping stone. For example, Manchester City, Manchester City, you know, right?"

"Well, there is another team in Manchester, which is much worse than Manchester United."

"The Abu Dhabi consortium acquired Manchester City. Are they doing it to make money? Of course not. Football will just keep spending money and spending money. They can't make a penny from Manchester City. However, football is a combination of Western civilization and the Middle East.

Manchester City is a bridge to the world. This is the role of Manchester City. The Abu Dhabi sovereign fund may not be welcomed when it invests in various countries around the world. But as long as they say that we are the owners of Manchester City, the whole world will understand."

Xue Baoshan pursed her lips, "There is one more thing, I guessed it."

"oh?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and hugged her on his lap.

"I guessed it." Xue Baoshan blushed slightly and said in a low voice, "You are in private equity, don't you always say that the wealthy people in the Middle East are always bullied by the Americans? Only Europe in the world can confront the United States. Football is European culture and the real

A national sport from the grassroots to the aristocracy. Playing football in Europe is equivalent to integrating into Europe and establishing a good relationship with the European upper class. You can use Europe's momentum to compete with the Americans."

Zhou Buqi gave a thumbs up, "Sister Bao is really smart!"

"Really?"

"More or less, the Abu Dhabi consortium is just the beginning. Haven't you heard that the Qatar consortium also wants to acquire Manchester United. But they don't seem to be ready. Qatar's development time is still short. But in a few years, I guess the tycoons in the Middle East will

They will all enter the European market to play football."

“What about the European Union?”

Xue Baoshan tilted her head and looked at him. If Zhou could see things clearly, the EU Parliament would also be able to see them clearly.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Of course they agree. Do you know what is the biggest battlefield between the EU and the United States now? It is the money of the Middle East tycoons! The United States wants the Middle East tycoons to invest their money in the American market, and the EU hopes to win over the Middle East tycoons to develop Europe.

Economy, of course the Middle East is welcome

Rich people come to invest in football. For example, Manchester City and the Abu Dhabi consortium. If Manchester City really has some operational problems in the future, the football level may punish Manchester City, but if it appeals to a higher level, it is guaranteed to ensure that Manchester City is not guilty. Football

It’s not just football.”

Xue Baoshan nodded slightly, understanding Zhou's industrial layout.

On a certain level, there is no difference between Mr. Zhou from China and the tycoons from Russia or the Middle East. They are all aliens in the eyes of the Western world.

Football is a bridge of communication.

Use Silicon Valley, Wall Street and Hollywood to lay out the United States, and use football to lay out Europe... In this way, Mr. Zhou can have both sides and become the target of wooing by all parties. Just like the Abu Dhabi Consortium, it can be easily manipulated by the Americans at the moment.

Live. When Manchester City develops and becomes Europe's top giants, the United States' control will not be so strong.

Hey, it's obviously a sport, but it has to be so complicated.

"Let's go and take a shower!"

"You hug me."

Xue Baoshan opened her arms, a bit coquettishly.

Zhou Buqi gave her a princess hug and walked out of the study happily.

…

In the meeting on the second day, there were a total of seven people, David Gill, Ed Woodward, Bobby Charlton, Alex Ferguson, Dennis Law and others, all of whom were powerful figures in Manchester United.

After listening to boss Zhou’s strategic vision for Manchester United in the future, what can you say?

Everyone opened their eyes wide and couldn't believe their ears.

Not taking money as money?

That’s right, Zhou Buqi doesn’t play football just to make money.

"Even though I am young, I have been watching football for 20 years with my father. I have been a Manchester United fan since I was a child." Zhou Buqi watched Arsenal with his father when he was a child. He said this without blushing at all.

, "One thing I am very concerned about is the transfer of players."

After a pause, Zhou Buqi continued: "I found that the transfer of many players often causes tension between the players and their old clubs. Either the players are sold and they turn around to criticize and criticize the old club; or the players are not sold,

Being ignored by his old club, his condition is getting worse and worse, and his career has been hit. This kind of reputation loss must not happen to Manchester United!"

The British were dumbfounded and could not speak.
