Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs: Chapter 63 The way to make money
Chapter 63 The Way to Make Money
So far, nine British Championships, plus two League Cups, Chen Ran has received a total of 10 million euros in winning bonuses from the system.
Now, he no longer has to worry about not being able to pay his players.
However, it is a pity that so much money is left in the account like this, and the money must be moved.
With the arrival of Abramovich in Chelsea this summer, the golden era of football in the new century has been opened.
In the future, both players and coaches will be more and more expensive.
Now is 2003. If someone said that the transfer fee for players will exceed 200 million euros in ten years, they will be considered crazy.
Chen Ran's positioning for Crystal Palace is not to become a black shop or a star processing factory like Porto, Monaco or Ajax, but to build Crystal Palace into a giant club.
Therefore, whether it is to buy players or keep existing players in the future, it is necessary to spend a lot of money.
Although Chen Ran now has a system to provide winning bonuses, he still understands the principle of risk diversification and cannot put all eggs in one basket.
What if the system no longer provides winning bonuses?
In order to prevent problems before they happen, after accumulating a certain amount of principal, Chen Ran is also preparing to open up another way to make money.
Chen Ran in his previous life was an ordinary Chinese citizen. How could he know that there were opportunities to make big money in the UK in 2003.
The investment opportunities he can think of now are all the information he accumulated in his previous life when he was a leek.
That's right, as a leek in the backyard of Da A in the previous life, I didn't make any money, and I paid a lot of tuition fees.
The only benefit of is probably that it made him develop the habit of watching the news on time every day, especially financial news, and then drooling at the unattainable money-making opportunities in the news.
Chen Ran's biggest regret is that he was reborn a little late and missed the opportunity to invest in Penguin before the listing.
Now Penguin's entrepreneurial team has completed a 50% shareholding structure adjustment with MIH, and is ready to go public next year.
However, after the penguin is listed, there will be a period of sideways shocks for a long time.
Chen Ran is going to use the fixed investment method to slowly build a position at that time, and then hold it all the time.
It is not only worry-free but also allows Xiao Ma to make money for himself, why not do it?
However, there is still nearly a year before Penguin goes public next year.
It’s too much to keep the money in the account and wait for it to lose money. First, find some other projects to invest in.
Anyway, as Crystal Palace continues to win games, the money available in his hand will continue to increase, so that it will not affect the plan to adopt penguins next year.
As a rebirth, Chen Ran certainly knew that now was a good opportunity to invest in the Huaguo property market.
But Chen Ran, who was also suffering from soaring housing prices in his previous life, felt that he should not help him.
Money is a good thing, and no one is too much.
But the man can do something and not do something.
Besides, if you want to speculate in real estate, you don’t have to go back to China to speculate.
London is a place where the rich all over the world are keen to buy property.
In the past life, except for the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent Brexit that caused London’s house prices to drop briefly, the rest of the time, London’s house prices rose almost all the way.
Funds from all over the world continue to pour into London's housing market for various purposes. From residential to commercial and office buildings, they are all fired up.
Before rebirth, Chen Ran once saw a news.
On May 19, 2021, Deka, a German fund management company, agreed to acquire 8 St. James Square, London, for £235 million (about 2.135 billion yuan).
The transaction unit price is about 3800 pounds per square foot (about 368,000 yuan per square meter)
The seller of this transaction is the Xinde Group, a company owned by the well-known gambling king He family.
When the Xinde Group bought the 7th and 8th buildings of St. James's Square in London in 2017, the total purchase price was 245.9 million pounds (about 2.234 billion yuan).
Found it? In four years, the transaction price of Building No. 8 has almost recovered the cost of the He family.
The other building, No. 7, was almost bought for nothing.
Now that he knows the result, Chen Ran will of course not miss such a good opportunity.
What's more, he still lives in a rented apartment and doesn't even have his own house in London, which is really not in line with his current status.
Not to mention, Cheryl has been living with him in this apartment since she followed him and never complained.
Even for Cheryl, Chen Ran felt that he should buy a better house.
It can not only add value, but also make you live a little more comfortable, the best of both worlds.
Thinking of this, Chen Ran immediately contacted Stephen.
As a native Londoner, this kind of thing is perfect for him.
After Cheryl came home, Chen Ran told her the news that she was going to buy a house.
"Honey, you are amazing! I've long wanted to have a house of my own."
Cheryl screamed excitedly, hugging Chen Ran for a kiss.
The results speak for themselves, and the two had a fun and crazy night.
So, in the next period of time, as long as the two of them are free, Cheryl will drag Chen Ran around to see the house and enjoy it.
With the help of Stephen, Chen Ran also learned from those bigwigs and set up an offshore company in the British Virgin Islands to prepare for future investment tax avoidance.
Although Stephen is only an illegitimate child, his father is a real marquis after all, and the circles he has been in contact with since he was a child are either rich or expensive.
Hearing that Chen Ran wanted to buy a house, Stephen quickly contacted him with many mansions, and even asked him if he was interested in castles.
was so frightened that Chen Ran quickly and sternly refused, that thing could not afford to buy and live, and the maintenance cost was too expensive. And it has a history of hundreds of years. Who knows if it will be haunted?
Picking and choosing, considering that they and Cheryl are very busy, the suburban houses are big and cheap, but they spend too much time on the road. The two finally decided to buy a single-family house in London. .
After secured his own residence, Chen Ran asked Stephen to help him start buying small apartment, one- or two-bedroom apartments near the university.
and set up a special team for this purpose, responsible for the acquisition, decoration, maintenance and rental of these houses.
You must know that there are many well-known universities in the UK. Every year, parents from all over the world send their children to study here.
Children who can come to the UK to study will not have poor family conditions. Small apartments near these schools will definitely not worry about renting out.
In addition, in order to maximize the efficiency of capital use, Chen Ran used all loans to pay for the acquisition of these properties.
Because of professional calculations, the rent charged for each house can not only fully cover the monthly loan repayment, but also generate a lot of income.
In this way, Chen Ran has achieved a perfect house-to-house in London.
As long as London's housing prices do not collapse, this game can be infinitely nested.
The term of the loan is 20 years. Now it is 2003. By 2023, Chen Ran will be able to pay off the house loan he bought in 2003.
And at least in early 2022, before Chen Ran’s rebirth, house prices in London are still rising.
Maybe many years later, in addition to the owner of the Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran also has the title of a London real estate tycoon.
