June is basically the month of the World Cup. Even several countries will watch football together at summit meetings. This shows how attractive football is.
Unfortunately, there are too many criticisms of professional football, that is, British football can make some money, and there is a unique Bayern team, but other league teams are basically not good enough, and many of them rely on subsidies from their bosses to survive.
Football's gold hogs can be compared to those of a company, and it's much faster to start an Internet business. It can easily lose two to three billion US dollars a year, just like playing a game.
The biggest spenders are naturally the Spanish duo, Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two most famous teams in the world in recent years.
It's just that both of them are member teams. If they run out of money, the wealthy members will rush to help them fill the holes, buy better players, and pay higher salaries.
In this regard, football is not as good as American competitive sports.
There are basically no losses in competitive sports in the United States. Basically, everyone makes a profit and the fans are happy to see it, the team is happy to make money, the players are laughing with their salaries, and the advertisers are satisfied with the advertising results.
Such a virtuous cycle is the greatest driving force for the development of competitive sports.
Therefore, even if Xiao Qi had the intention to buy a football team, he did not implement it in the end, but only helped Tang Mingxiang buy the New York Yankees.
During the World Cup, Europeans were actually more obsessed with it than the Chinese.
On the one hand, they like football more, and on the other hand, their team is still fighting inside, so how could they not pay attention?
That's what British fans are like.
Although Britain is unique in having three football teams that can compete in intercontinental competitions alone, British football has never been good.
Especially after Gascoigne's generation of players gets older, this generation of players who basically rely on bragging is similar to the Chinese team. They have to work hard to win the group stage every time, and then they think of themselves every time they get to the competition.
High, but in the end, without exception, they all ended in tragedy.
It can also be seen from this that just because a league is popular and has good results does not mean that your domestic players are great.
This aspect seems to be similar to Chinese football.
Okay, let’s leave this topic aside. Anyway, there is no hope for Chinese football in the next ten or twenty years. If we talk about it, we are just asking for trouble.
In Britain in June, the streets and alleys are filled with the atmosphere of the World Cup. Bars everywhere are overcrowded, and cheers, noises and curses can be heard from the bars from time to time.
It’s not just the British who watch football. For example, some bars are exclusively visited by immigrant Africans. There are also bars owned by Brazilians. There are also bars dedicated to immigrants from other South American countries, including China, Japan and South Korea. Everyone
Each sees his own, and each supports his own.
But the problem is that after the game is over, everyone is almost drunk.
If two teams of victorious fans meet, that's not bad. Everyone can sing, chat and celebrate the victory, arm in arm.
It wouldn't be so nice if the fans of two losing teams met, or even the fans of a team that played against each other directly.
Therefore, the number of nighttime police calls in the UK surged in June, mostly caused by drunken fans causing trouble.
As a result, the police are usually on duty 24 hours a day. Some police who like football were so angry that they cursed. In the end, the police station had to urgently arrange a TV set for them to put in the lounge to calm their anger.
In this lively atmosphere, there is another industry in the UK that is very lively.
That's their real estate.
Since the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, the British government has adopted supportive policies to support the development of British real estate.
On the one hand, it reduces taxes on home buyers, and on the other hand, it increases support for loan purchases. When added up, it actually saves more than 20% of money than before.
Now the British residents are unsettled, especially those in London. There are not many good houses here. In order to provide themselves with a good environment and to provide their children with a good environment, white-collar workers have taken out loans to buy houses and shoulder the burden of
At the same time as huge debts were incurred, real estate prices also skyrocketed.
It is certainly not correct to say that real estate is speculated by home buyers.
British real estate developers are very smart. Seeing that the government has given such a big discount, there is no reason for those idiots to take advantage of it, so we have raised prices, greatly!
They also know what hoarding sales are and what speculation is called. House prices have been slowly rising since January.
But this group of people still cannot compare with professional talents.
Liu Datou and the Wenzhou trio are professionals many times more advanced than them.
They do not directly enter the field of housing speculation, but directly speculate on the source land.
The same thing happens when the left hand turns to the right hand. Today, the price of this piece of land is only 500 million pounds. Next week it will be 530 million pounds. One week after that, it will be 580 million pounds!
When other real estate developers look at it, hey, the land prices have gone up. I have no reason not to increase the price of the house, so I have to follow this increase to avoid suffering losses!
As a result, the price of houses also increased again, and real estate developers refused to lag behind, and each one rushed to set the house price higher.
Liu Datou saw the opportunity and put the entire house he bought on the market. He directly hired hundreds of people to queue up two or three days in advance, making the atmosphere in the market tense again.
Home buyers have seen that the land here is rising and house prices are also rising. Seeing that they can save a lot of money by buying a week in advance, why are they still hesitating?
They rushed into the sales hall one after another, rushing to buy the house they wanted like a piece of free cabbage.
Real estate developers have invested a lot of money in advertising on TV stations. When the TV stations remove these rush-buying scenes, people become even more panic-stricken. They are afraid that if they buy too late, good houses will be gone the next moment, and even less affordable houses will go up.
rise.
Nowadays, everything is devaluing and falling, and only a house is the best thing to preserve its value. If you buy it, you still have a home, and you don’t have to worry about it being useless like buying a stock!
Under all kinds of pressure and panic, British housing prices went from a slow rise in January this year to a rapid rise in February and March, and then to a sharp rise in April and May.
By June, unknowingly, within half a year, house prices in London had soared by 75%! The average house price in the UK had also increased by more than %!
Land prices have risen even more sharply. The average transaction price of land in London has increased by more than 143% compared to last year's year-on-year price. If this land is built into houses and put on the market, London house prices will rise by another 60-70%!
Such a price increase has even the British real estate sector dumbfounded.
In this way, not only are all the benefits provided by the British government taken up by real estate developers, but the people also pay a lot more costs.
But it was impossible for them to stop this.
Because of the booming real estate transactions and the substantial increase in real estate prices, it means that the British economy will be stimulated, which will allow real estate-related industries to operate and reduce the impact of the financial crisis on the UK.
If the British government suppresses real estate, not only will real estate collapse immediately, but the British economy will also be unable to withstand such a blow and will easily collapse as well!
At this time, the British government felt that it had been kidnapped by real estate developers and could not step down.
Real estate businessmen don't care about this. Since the country has allowed the development of real estate and supported the real estate industry, it is time for them to make a lot of money.
All real estate and land merchants who were prepared during this financial crisis have reaped huge profits.
For example, the actual Duke of Fusage in the UK got the exact information through Hou Xiaoqi's cooperation with the movie theater online, and completed the layout of real estate in advance. When the real estate boom started, he turned to selling.
By selling land or developing real estate, you can make a lot of money all of a sudden, and your assets have increased by more than 2 billion pounds.
The old Duke was so happy that he sent Xiao Qi several fine antiques from the Song Dynasty that his ancestors brought when they "traveled" to China to express his gratitude.
He is not the one who laid out the earliest plans, nor is he the one who makes the most money.
It was Hengxin Investment Company that had the earliest layout and made the most money!
Xiao Qi invested US$5 billion in this company, in which he only holds 70% of the shares. Half of the remaining 10% of the shares are given to Branson, who provides human resources and various conveniences, and the other 15% is given to the person in charge.
Liu Datou did the specific operation.
Liu Datou went to the UK in 2007 to prepare for the layout, and it was not until 2009 that it started to explode, and it has been out of control since then.
By speculating on land and building, the capital of US$5 billion has already made huge profits.
In addition to the US$7.1 billion that has been secured, Hengxin Investment Company also has land worth more than US$6 billion. Judging from the current situation of land prices rising every day, by next year, the value of these lands may directly increase again.
Breaking through to more than 12 billion US dollars!
If the operation is done well and our land merchants and real estate merchants continue to cooperate, in two or three years, I am afraid that the price of this land will directly become sky-high!
Think about it, not to mention more profits in the future, in less than two years, 5 billion US dollars has become more than 100 million US dollars. This kind of profitability is simply faster than printing money!
Not to mention the Wenzhou trio were drooling over such huge profits, even people like Liu Datou, who was accustomed to real estate speculation in Hong Kong, couldn't help but feel excited.
It’s so easy to make money like this! (To be continued.)
