Chapter 54 - The scammer\\\'s encounter
Millwall in the Premier League is not well known, and the sponsorship fee is pitifully small, but with the great success of Sky Sports TV through the Premier League broadcast rights, the brand value of the Premier League will soon be reflected. If Millwall can rise to the super In the league, although there will be no qualitative leap in sponsorship fees, it is better than nothing. The amount of money is not too much.
The advertising on the stadium will also enter a new stage of sponsorship in the next few months. Aldrich intends to let Adam take charge of these businesses, which was originally the responsibility of the club’s CEO.
Barnett saw Heisenberg leave, he came over again, embraced Aldridge affectionately, and smiled mysteriously: “Come with me and give you a gift.”
Aldridge smiled helplessly and walked to the corner of the lobby. Barnett took a folder from his assistant and opened it in front of Aldridge.
Aldrich took a closer look, the content of the document is a bit similar to the real estate developer’s plot.
“On the east side of the Millwall Club, on the south side of the Thames, I bought a piece of land and planned to develop it into a residential area. There are 80 houses for you.”
Aldridge frowned and stared at Barnett, asking, “Why do you want to send me?”
The land price in East London hasn’t skyrocketed. What’s more, Millwall’s new stadium occupies a large amount of land. The purchase of land plus the total construction budget of the project is only about 15 million pounds. Aldridge estimates the cost price of this community. 10 million pounds.
Barnett threw the file behind him, regardless of whether the assistant could catch it, he hugged Aldridge again and smiled: “There is no reason why you deserve it, in fact, my company, 51% of the shares are Mine, 30% of you are left, and 19% of Andrew. Don’t talk about it, or you will be kidnapped if you don’t make a good deal. Brother, I live in a mansion, I can’t make you shabby, and you are now working as an adult. You don’t have to be entertained. If you have friends who can play, don’t worry about giving a house or anything. It’s not worth a few dollars.”
Aldridge whispered: “I have been outside for the past few years. I don’t know anything about your company. What do I deserve?”
In European and American interpersonal relationships, even among loved ones, the distribution of property is very clear. Aldrich does not value money very much. He has more than three million pounds in his private account. He feels that it is enough to spend this life. And he now has clubs in operation, as long as he can operate healthily, making profits is not necessarily very difficult.
Barnett squinted and said, “Oh, when you said that the Premier League broadcast was definitely going to make money, especially Sky TV would be crazy to make money, I bought shares in Murdoch’s company, hehe, the Yankees now want to take my hands every day. Buying the shares back, I’m so stupid, I’m not selling!”
Aldridge didn’t know this at all, and he was dumbfounded at first hearing.
Murdoch has long had a huge influence in the United Kingdom. He has a controlling stake in The Sun, The Times and The World News, but in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Murdoch failed most in the UK. ‘S investment is Sky TV!
Every year, tens of millions or even tens of millions of pounds are lost.
Just before the establishment of the Premier League, the self-supporting portal of the Premier League club clearly challenged the authority of the FA. This incident was heated at the time. Aldridge accidentally talked about it with Barnett.
This is his character, he doesn’t want to talk about it in detail, he can’t stop the car.
From the 22 Premier League clubs under the leadership of BIG5 to play the role of the FA FA, plus the arrogance of the BBC and ITV, the rise of Sky TV and the Premier League alliance private song, the Premier League will be established, and the assertion will usher in a brand new Times.
Barnett bought shares in Sky TV in 1991. At that time, he made a time difference. Before Murdoch had yet to make a private agreement with the Premier League, Sky TV had suffered huge losses for years. This Yankee engaged in TV stations, thinking that the British would Spending money to watch entertainment programs that Americans like is actually quite wrong. It can make most British people willing to pay for TV programs paid at home. The first ranking is: football, the second is: football, the third: Still football.
When Murdoch was frustrated, Barnett’s equity investment only accounted for 20% of Sky TV’s shares, but Murdoch regretted his intestines after two years.
After winning the broadcast rights of the Premier League, Sky TV’s revenue situation is unprecedentedly grand: a sack and a sack of banknotes and checks are sent into the company every day, Sky TV has turned gorgeously from a loss of tens of millions of pounds a year, and its annual profit Over 40 million pounds!
Barnett is very proud. It is expected that after the broadcast of the Premier League season ends this summer, he will be able to pay off all the huge loans he bought from Sky Bank from the bank with dividends. In less than four years, he will make Sky TV 20. % Stake!
And this investment idea was a coup from a few casual words of his baby brother. Barnett not only had a brother’s spoiling for Aldridge, but also had a superstitious superstition.
Even though Barnett made a good deal, Murdoch was not a wait-and-see, after all, a tycoon who only built a media empire, in Barnett’s mouth became: Big fool! It’s nothing more than the arrogance in the British man’s arrogance. It’s the ability to speak the tongue and the real talent. The British business community may not have many self-made riches comparable to Murdoch.
“Okay, I accepted this gift.”
Aldridge is also not hypocritical, Barnett raised her eyebrows with a smile: “I won’t disturb you anymore, the pretty chick over there has been staring at you, ha ha, our three brothers, you are the one you owe the most flat.”
“No matter how jealous you are, I just look more handsome than you.”
“Hahaha, then you can enjoy Yanfu.”
Barnett walked away with a laugh.
Aldridge chuckled while standing with champagne in his place, and Melanie Chisholm, who had been watching him in the distance, immediately stepped up and said with his tongue: “Aren’t you a football coach?”
“What’s suspicious?”
Aldridge couldn’t help crying.
“Uh, forget it, nice to meet you, Aldridge.”
Melanie seemed to be leaving. The other members of the hot girl group were already standing by the door, and they all looked at Aldridge with a smile.
Aldridge shook hands formally with her again and smiled: “Me too, bye.”
Melanie smiled and turned away, and when she returned to her companions, she was ridiculed by her companions.
Aldridge smiled and looked at the tempting back of the hot girl group. Melanie looked back at the shy smile before going out to make him remember for a long time.
Because it was FIFA game day again, Aldridge took two days off for the team, he changed into casual clothes and went to Bond Road in West London, this is the most fashionable street in West London, an international famous brand store Everywhere, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Aldrich wore a sports and casual outfit and a cap on his head. He looked very different on this street where pedestrians were mostly dressed in leather and suits.
With a glass of juice in his hands, Aldrich looked back and forth on the street, looking for a mobile phone.
Even though the mobile phone still seemed to be a big brother a few years ago, as Motorola entered the German market with unprecedented success in the 1990s, it also quickly led the standard of mobile phone development, and the shape of the mobile phone has become small and light.
Aldridge had no interest in carrying Big Brother, but at the banquet at home yesterday, he saw several female guests holding small and exquisite mobile phones in his hands. He realized that the mobile phones had become no longer clumsy.
It’s not Aldridge’s pursuit of fashion and trend, which is convenient for work.
Britain has never had a world-class mobile phone brand, and the domestic market has been occupied by foreign brands. Aldrich randomly entered a mobile phone brand store and accidentally saw a pair of familiar backs.
The two were communicating with the waiter, carefully holding the mobile phone in their hands to try.
“What a coincidence.”
Aldridge came to them and greeted with a smile.
Both eyes stared at Aldridge.
Victoria looked at Aldridge up and down, her eyes full of curiosity, and Melanie was surprised. After seeing Aldridge’s dress, she smiled and said: “Audrich, are you going in the wrong place? Isn’t it? Go to the training ground? Mr. Coach.”
Aldrich shrugged it didn’t matter: “I’m going on holiday today, go shopping to relax, there is no need to wear formal clothes, comfort is the most important.
“Oh, it makes sense. Are you also going to buy a mobile phone?”
“Ok.”
Aldridge glanced down at the counter display and pointed to a black mobile phone to the waiter: “I want this one, just give it to me if I have tried it.”
Aldridge finished withdrawing his wallet, withdrawing his bank card to pay for it, and paying £10 to the waiter by the way.
The waiter was a little surprised. The customer in sportswear did not spend a minute from entering the door to paying the money. This was the most comfortable transaction she had made.
Aldridge is not interested in these phones now. They are bought for convenience, and there will be no extra curiosity to try again and again.
As long as it was not bad, he did not want to take it out of his pocket.
After looking at some dazed girls beside him, Aldridge smiled at the waiter: “Yes, their two phones are also counted on me.”
Melanie exclaimed, “How do you do that?”
A few hundred pounds of mobile phones are still luxury goods for them.
Aldridge turned his head to look at Melanie for three seconds, and after she closed the temptation to wipe her lips with red lipstick, Aldridge nodded and said seriously: “Well, well, it’s up to you to pay for it yourself.”
Now Melanie grew her mouth again and asked, “Why don’t you hold on? Maybe I agreed.”
Aldridge blinked: “How many times do I have to hold on?”
“once!”
Victoria smirked before Melanie’s mouth and said solemnly.
Aldridge frowned, “Well, I’ll just stick it once, two ladies. Sending a mobile phone to you is no big deal to me. Don’t worry, it’s just a gift from friends. Otherwise, you will send me a Ferrari in the future, I will definitely accept it directly.”
Melanie and Victoria couldn’t help but listen to Aldridge’s gift generously.
After Aldridge walked out of the store with his mobile phone, Melanie’s cry came behind him: “Audrich, you big liar!”
