In the evening, a wealthy man from the Middle East invited Zhou Buqi and his party to watch a game in the Premier League: Manchester City vs. Chelsea.

While watching football, waiting for news, and talking about the football industry.

The owner of Manchester City is Mansour, who is only in his thirties and is the younger brother of the King of the United Arab Emirates. He holds hundreds of billions of dollars in national wealth.

He is also a football fan and has a very strategic vision.

Mansour said ambitiously: "In European football leagues, the most influential match is the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona. It is even more attractive than the match between Manchester United and Liverpool, and the match between Milan and Inter Milan. It is more attractive to fans.

He said that football is not just a game, it is a war."

Zhou Buqi deeply agrees, "The reason why football is the largest sport in the world is because football is a war in peacetime. The stronger the smell of gunpowder, the more intense the competition, and the crazier the fans will be."

Mansour said: "Manchester City is still a weak team, but we will spend huge sums of money to buy the best players in the transfer market to build a top team. The showdown between Manchester United and Manchester City should be a

The Premier League, even the whole of Europe, is the most influential derby in the world!"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "I'm looking forward to it."

Having said that, Manchester City is too weak now. They were abused by Chelsea and scored in a short time. Drogba was like a monster, running rampant in the Manchester City penalty area, quite like taking the enemy's head out of thousands of troops.

momentum.

Mansour didn't take it seriously. For him, football is a game and the players are just pawns. He said seriously: "Mr. Zhou, as you said, you want to create the most attractive football team in the world."

In a derby, there must be enough gunpowder."

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "If there is no smell of gunpowder, then create the smell of gunpowder?"

"What do you think?" Mansour said enthusiastically, "It will create conflicts between players and coaches, and at the same time intensify conflicts between fans, and lead to hostility between fans on both sides. The greater the conflict between fans on both sides, the better the game will be.

.”

Zhou Buqi was surprised.

I thought that this Middle Eastern tycoon who was born as a master is really different. The confident and confident thinking of a superior does not regard the fans and himself as "same kind" at all, but the relationship between the ruler and the ruled.

However, Manchester City can do this, but Manchester United cannot.

Manchester United and Manchester City are the two top teams in Manchester, and Manchester United is a world-class giant. However, in the city of Manchester, Manchester City has far more fans than Manchester United.

It's about money.

Old Trafford is in a wealthy area, and tickets are very expensive. Manchester City's home stadium is the Manchester City Stadium, which is the Volkswagen Stadium, and ticket prices are very low.

There are always more poor people than rich people.

This alone defines the club positioning of Manchester United and Manchester City.

Manchester United is a wealthy club and is sought after by the local upper class; Manchester City is a mass team and has the largest number of lower-level fans, including a large number of football hooligans.

The lower the people are, the easier it is to be incited, and the herd effect is more obvious, so Mansour's strategy will be very effective for Manchester City. Once this trick is used, Manchester City can quickly gain access to fans around the world by competing with Manchester United.

vision, you can achieve success more quickly.

Manchester United can't do this.

Zhou Buqi and San Dezi have already designed the next brand building ideas for Manchester United. They want to become a world-class top club with a high-end brand.

He has even requested that Manchester United must be cautious when selecting sponsors and not accept any sponsorship. Instead, they must accept high-end sponsorship advertisements and reject vulgar sponsors.

Under this kind of strategic plan, it would be too shameful for Manchester United to roll up its sleeves and fight with the local bastards.

Then, Zhou Buqi became suspicious.

Isn't this Middle Eastern tycoon setting a trap to harm himself? The two parties have a cooperative relationship in Neptune Capital, but in the Manchester football market, they are competitors.

Zhou Buqi remained calm and smiled, "I don't know much about football. The board of directors still has to decide what to do. I respect Sir Alex Ferguson very much. I will ask him what he meant later."

Mansour nodded, "How long will the acquisition take?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Hurry, try to complete the transaction before the winter transfer window opens."

Mansour was silent for a while and said with a smile: "The club asked me to bring in Tevez."

"Teves?"

"Yes, I heard that Ferguson didn't pay enough attention to him."

"I will respect the coaching staff."

Zhou Buqi said casually and perfunctorily.

Ferguson did not reuse Tevez enough, not because of his inability, but because of the player configuration and team tactics. In Ferguson's tactics, he hoped that the forward striker would have height and sufficient heading ability. Tevez

Si is too short. If he is a shadow forward, there is already a more versatile Rooney in the lineup.

This has led to Tevez's position in the team being awkward. Even the big center Berbatov, whom Manchester United bought from Tottenham this summer, has his playing time further reduced.

From this point of view, it is reasonable for Tevez to leave Manchester United. But it is very reasonable for him to go to Manchester City. Tevez has a bad temper and a hot personality. He was treated unfairly at Manchester United and then transferred to the same city.

As a mortal enemy, the smell of gunpowder has aroused. This is probably what Manchester City cares about most.

There was no suspense about the outcome of this Premier League match. Chelsea defeated Manchester City 3:1. Middle Eastern boss Mansour didn't pay too much attention. Then, an assistant wearing a white turban came over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Mansour looked quite surprised.

Then, he turned to look at Zhou Buqi and said, "Mr. Zhou, it seems we should go have a drink."

"oh?"

"The Imperial Council is over."

"How about it?"

"50%."

"oh……"

Zhou Buqi frowned slightly, feeling that this number was too small.

An investment ratio of 50% means that out of Neptune Capital’s $10 billion fundraising scale, the Abu Dhabi sovereign fund will only invest $5 billion.

Isn't this too conservative?

Mansour then smiled and said: "But there is an additional condition, which can increase the investment ratio to up to 75%. Is Mr. Zhou willing to listen to it?"

"OK."

"We hope that Ziweixing Group can invest in our country and develop some Internet businesses."

"Of course," Zhou Buqi agreed without hesitation, "I will definitely go!"

He will go without the other party asking for conditions. The first thing to do is the layout of cloud computing. Dubai is the landmark city of the United Arab Emirates and receives tens of millions of tourists from all over the world every year.

This requires a very complex Internet system to support it.

If you want to provide Internet services, you have to set up a local server and build a website. However, the UAE lacks enough talents in the technology industry. Under the high temperature environment, server maintenance is also a severe test, and small companies cannot cope with it.

This is the role of the cloud computing platform and the reason why cloud computing will have a huge development market in the future.

Simple, efficient and convenient.

A large company will come forward to build a cloud computing data center and use a series of technical guarantees to solve some local problems. After other companies come over, they can rent it directly on the cloud computing platform.
