Chapter 415(1/2)
"Someone wants to prepare for the International Champions League?"
Upon hearing this news, Stephen Ross and Matt Higgins couldn't help but look at each other and were both stunned.
The huge plan he was planning was actually taken first?
"Who is it?" Stephen Rose looked sinister.
Damn, this is too unkind, right?
He actually rushed out from the middle of the road to intercept the bell?
It's simply crazy
Matt Higgins remembered another thing.
The US market is a big cake, and it is true that other competitors will target this cake, which is not surprising.
But the question is, who has such strong strength?
To set up such an event, it is not something you can do with money.
This requires a wide range of connections in the football circle
Otherwise, who will listen to you in those giant teams?
Charlitiletano sighed deeply with helpless sadness.
"I have received news that the organizer of this International Champions League is a company called Miracle Media."
"Miracle Media?" Matt Higgins frowned.
Never heard of it at all
"In the past year, they have successively acquired Swiss Yingfang and ING companies."
Matt Higgins was stunned at this moment, "It turned out to be them."
Even American real estate tycoon Stephen Ross was a little moved.
Although he is not a person in that circle, he has heard of this.
Both companies have a significant influence in the sports field. Swiss Yingfang has an extraordinary relationship with FIFA and the International Olympic Committee, and ING can almost be said to be the leader in the sports and entertainment fields.
Unexpectedly, two such companies were actually acquired by the same company.
For this reason, Stephen and Rose felt inferior.
"What is the origin of this company?" Matt Higgins asked curiously.
"Do you know Uncle Bird and Yoona Lin?" Charlitillatano asked back.
Stephen Rose nodded.
"The popularity of these two stars is the driving force behind Miracle Media. It is said that in the past two years, Miracle Media has made at least $500 million in the world with these two superstars."
Speaking of this, Charlitiletano couldn't help but be amazed.
It is quite rare to be able to make a superstar famous, but Miracle Media has made two of them famous.
Moreover, they also made a lot of money from these two superstars.
This shows the operational capabilities of this company.
"Charley, even so, they don't have the ability to acquire these two major companies." Stephen Rose felt something was wrong.
Charlitiletano smiled bitterly, "Of course, but behind Miracle Media is WeChat."
WeChat?
Stephen Ross and Matt Higgins are moved again
They are so familiar with this mobile app, and they use it almost every day
But they would never have thought that WeChat companies would actually involve football.
Wait, I seem to have heard before that the owner of a WeChat company is the owner of a football club, it seems...
"That's right, behind WeChat is the boss of Southampton, Yang Huan."
All the mysteries are revealed
But those who left it to the three present were shocked
There is no other reason. Yang Huan and his WeChat have been so popular in the past two years.
Stephen Ross and Matt Higgins formed F Company, specializing in venture capital, so they naturally heard something.
What venture capital most wants to invest in today is WeChat and its branches.
The conservative assessment of WeChat's market value has exceeded US$50 billion, and the industry generally believes that once this company, which has long been famous worldwide, will exceed US$100 billion once it goes public.
But this is just WeChat company.
Its WeChat game company is also very popular among the outside world, especially in the past two years, it has developed quite rapidly in the gaming field and has become the most profitable and successful game developer on smart mobile platforms, with a valuation of more than 5 billion US dollars.
Not to mention the burn after reading, this app has triggered a frenzy on the Internet almost all over the world, and has even begun to shake the status of Facebook, which even offered a cash acquisition of 3 billion US dollars.
That's three billion, not Zimbabwean coins, it's US dollars
Stephen Rose felt a little surprised when he thought about it, but Yang Huan refused the acquisition proposal without hesitation.
When the reporter asked about the reason, the spokesperson of the company said with great wealth.
“We are not short of money”
Interestingly, the creativity of this app comes from Yang Huan, and the purpose is simple... to pick up girls.
This has been rumored to be a beautiful story among netizens and media reporters around the world
In addition, there are many popular applications such as an and Ttur, which have attracted a lot of popularity on the Internet, and their valuations are all worth billions of dollars.
There are also news that WeChat is far ahead in the two major fields of augmented reality technology and virtual reality technology, and will officially launch two smart glasses in 2012, making the whole world look forward to it.
Yang Huan, who was only 22 years old, also became the most popular rich second generation in the world.
Stephen Ross never thought that Yang Huan would not do a good job in the Internet and came to organize the International Champions League
Isn't this bullying?
I finally managed to accumulate talent for many years, organized two North American Invitational Tournaments, and revitalized the American football market. Now, it’s almost time to harvest, but you ran in for no reason to harvest the fruits of my victory?
Too hateful
It's so unbearable to my uncle
"I received news that Miracle Media has been preparing to enter the field of operating football events a year ago, so it has quietly acquired two major companies, namely Swiss Yingfang and ING, and launched two major events, the International Champions League and the European Youth Champions League."
Charlitiletano has to admit that at least in the field of football, they are not as familiar with Yang Huan and others.
People who are engaged in professional football are considered people in the core circle, so they naturally know each other well.
"Putting aside the International Champions League, just like the European Youth Champions League, they have obtained authorizations from UEFA and FIFA, and the conditions offered to European teams are also very generous. There is no room, accommodation and transportation costs, and there are additional generous bonuses to win games. Even Real Madrid and Barcelona are difficult to resist such temptation."
When Stephen Ross heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, "Can they make money by doing this?"
Matt O Higgins on the side smiled bitterly, "Maybe they don't plan to make money in the early stage, they just simply look forward to this market, so they came in first and defeated all potential competitors, including us. By that time, the entire market will be theirs."
This is a typical Internet thinking logic
Stephen Ross snorted coldly after hearing this. He was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Being able to be the top five real estate tycoons in the United States, his strength and influence should not be underestimated.
"Hmph, do they have this ability to get rid of us?"
Matt Higgins and Charlitillatano both understood what the boss meant.
"Go and contact the strong European teams. We will give as much as they give, where they want to do it, and where we want to do it, I will give them a head-on blow."
Just kidding, I have worked hard to run the market for so many years, how can I give it to you in vain?
Do you really think that you can do whatever you want if you are rich and powerful?
I just want to teach you a lesson丨Tell you, this is not your China, this is our United States
Charlitillatano nodded and said: "It's not difficult to invite a team. They only invited eight teams in the first session. There are many European giant teams. Although they can't invite top teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, other teams should be fine, just..."
"Just what?" Stephen Rose was a little dissatisfied.
Can you stop stammering when speaking?
Didn't you see that I'm annoyed?
"But they are in group matches, which is different from our competition system. And they have rented some popular football stadiums and training grounds in advance. We have to play against them in the same city. First, the time is rushed, and second, I'm afraid there is not enough preparation."
"I don't care about this. You can do it now. You must get this done for me."
Stephen Rose is also popular.
This is not OK, that is not OK. Before you fight this battle, you can give up first
Can you be less ambitious?
Charlitillatano and Matt Higgins looked at each other again and saw that the boss was getting angry.
To be continued...
