From retail to global domination

In this way, Zhang Yang spent one billion US dollars to acquire Chateau Latour.

This is definitely worth the money. Ten years later, I'm afraid it will cost several times the price. You know, this is one of the eight major wineries. Besides Lafite, Chateau Latour is the most famous. It operates very well.

Well, there is no chance of surpassing Lafite in ten years.

At the same time, what Zhang Yang likes even more is that he owns a complete manor.

This is a true manor and castle.

The castle is quite large.

There used to be a castle in Latu Village, but it should have been expanded.

Of course, if such a big castle is so public, it would be necessary to hire people to clean it up. Since the winery has been sold, there is no need to hire servants to clean up the house.

Since most of the employees are Chinese, this issue is left to Zhang Qian to take charge of.

The price of hiring Gallic chicken from locals must not be cheap, but this time Zhang Yang really guessed wrong, the price from locals is really not that high.

Special focus is on the villages surrounding the winery.

After getting this answer, Zhang Yang chose to hire locals.

To be honest, relatively speaking, the Gallic chickens are less smart. Even the Chinese are hard-working and capable, but they are smart. Servants do not need to be smart, and Zhang Yang does not point out how much benefit the servants can bring to him.

Then he hired some Gallic chickens and some Germans.

Relatively speaking, Germans are more pragmatic.

There were thirty people in total, fifteen men and fifteen women.

Men tidy up the large yard outside the castle, and women tidy up the castle. They are also looking for young people, most of whom are no more than thirty years old.

There are also many German and Gaulish women with good figures and pretty faces.

Akane's intentions are impure and she wants him to make mistakes.

These women all wear black stockings when working. Well, fortunately he has strong determination, otherwise it would be easy to make mistakes.

But then Zhang Yang became worried. How could he withstand the temptation if he lived in philosophy every day?

On the contrary, Zhang Qian covered her mouth and snickered, Zhang Yang was so angry that he slapped her buttocks. On the other hand, Zhang Qian's eyes almost watered when she looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang knew what this woman wanted to do, so he was not polite and picked up Zhang Qian and returned to the room.

Zhang Yang had no time to rest before, but now he finally has time to rest. He is resting in the Gallic Chicken's castle, and his pressure is instantly reduced.

Even though Zhang Yang is a time traveler, he is still under a lot of pressure.

It would be a lie to say that there is no pressure. Is it possible that there is no pressure to manage such a large company?

Isn’t there a saying: The greater the ability, the greater the pressure!

He didn't believe it before when he saw celebrities saying they were stressed in interviews. How could he be stressed when he had so much money? It was too late to be happy and happy. But now he believes it.

Pressure comes from all directions. Fortunately, he has relieved himself of the administrative pressure. In fact, it is not completely relieved, but it is stronger than other businessmen in China.

His biggest pressure now is to keep Huifeng Group moving forward and growing.

Now he has 200,000 people to support, which is equivalent to a family of 200,000 people. It would be a lie to say there is no pressure. In the future, the number of employees will be more and more, even exceeding one million or ten million. I wonder if there is no pressure?

However, even if there is pressure, Zhang Yang cannot retire. He is only 20 years old now. He is still very young and it is too early to retire.

Unless someone asks him to retire, such a thing should not happen in the short term.

It seems that there is a chance to get a position in the United Nations. In his last life, Lao Ma did this. This guy has diplomatic immunity and does not need a visa to go to any country.

This identity is no ordinary cow.

I don’t know why, why didn’t the United Nations contact him?

Could it be that what he is doing now is not good enough?

Probably so.

Later, Lao Ma only received the invitation when he was quite famous. This guy was even more popular at Harvard than the president of the United States.

I have to say, this is personal charm.

It can be said that Lao Ma has maximized his personal charm. Although he also has many shortcomings, you have to admire his ability and charm.

After taking over the winery, we will buy the team.

The team's first choice is London.

London is an international metropolis, and the attention it receives is naturally unmatched by other cities.

As the world's financial center, London accounts for more than 40% of global foreign exchange transactions. Together with New York and Hong Kong, it is also known as "New York City" and has the largest number of museums, libraries and stadiums in the world.

At the same time, London's educational resources are also very good. University College London ranks 8th in the world, Imperial College London ranks 9th in the world, London School of Economics and Political Science ranks 27th in the world, and King's College London ranks 33rd in the world.

The most important thing is that there is a huge population here. Although it cannot be compared with China, its population of 8.9 million is already considered a large city.

There is a huge fan base here.

There are many teams in London, but there are only three teams that are the most well-known and have the best fan base.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham.

Chelsea has just been acquired by Abramovich, and the other party will not sell it. The same is true for Arsenal.

Arsenal are building their own stadium and will sell their team, and in that case, only Tottenham remains.

Tottenham Hotspur, full name Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, was founded in 18@

Serve this person.

The other party is not short of money, and Tottenham can't sell it for much money at this time, not more than 150 million pounds at most.

If he acquires Tottenham, Zhang Yang is confident that the team's value will rise to 5 billion pounds in fifteen years.

When Abramovich purchased Chelsea, he spent 130 million pounds. In the end, he was suppressed and restricted and bought more than 2 billion pounds.

This is where Zhang Yang’s confidence lies.

The only thing left to do now is to convince Lewis.

This old guy is hard to deal with.

After Zhang Yang and the others got off the plane, they went directly to Lewis's yacht.

This Lewis is not a boxing champion. Of course, he is not as famous as the boxing champion, although he is richer than the boxing champion.

"Hello Mr. Zhang, welcome to London." Seeing Zhang Yang coming, Lewis stood up with a smile and gave him a very polite hug.

Zhang Yang's reputation has spread all over the world, and even if he doesn't want to cooperate with him, he will not choose to offend him, or even make friends with him.

If you make good friends with Zhang Yang, you may get unexpected benefits, such as Francois Pinault.

François Pinault really loves to show off, and this is a gift for him.

After learning that there was a gold mine there, he began to rely on connections.

After all, it used to be a colony of Gallic Chicken, so it was quite easy to find connections. In addition, Francois Pinault's social status in Gallic Chicken had to be respected by him, even the President of Gallic Chicken.

To be honest, Zhang Yang originally planned to invite Lewis to join him, but later gave up the idea.

Too many people is not good.

"Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Lewis." Zhang Yang also looked at Lewis with a smile, and then looked at the yacht: "Mr. Lewis, I have to say, this yacht is awesome. It seems that I should buy one when I have time."

These words were so brazen that they were not lying.

After coming up, Zhang Yang fell in love with this big toy.

That's right, aren't yachts just toys for the rich?

When it comes to whose yachts in London are better than Abu's.

Whether it's a yacht or a private jet, Abu's is very luxurious, and this guy knows how to enjoy it.

"Your idea is good, Mr. Zhang. I have Riva's contact information. The yachts they produce are not only beautiful, but also have unparalleled performance." Lewis enthusiastically recommended.

This point is so public that there is no refutation. This brand is indeed influential, and it has been established for 163 years.

"Okay, please, Mr. Lewis." Zhang Yang didn't refuse. He really wanted to buy a yacht. It was so handsome.

Then the two began to discuss the yacht.

After much discussion, Zhang Yang finally decided to wait.

Even if an order is placed now, it will not be shipped until 2008. At that time, there was already a financial crisis. The yacht originally worth 100 million pounds would not even be sold for 50 million by then. Why should he buy it now?

Is it too much money to be taken advantage of?

So Zhang Yang gave up the idea of ​​buying a submarine, and only a fool would buy it in advance.

Anyway, he is not a fool.

While chatting, the two of them talked about football.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid this is your purpose this time, right?" Lewis looked at Zhang Yang with an indifferent expression.

"Mr. Lewis is really powerful, you can see it." Zhang Yang did not deny it.

"Mr. Zhang should know that when the upstart came to me to buy Tottenham, I rejected him." Lewis did not refuse directly, but mentioned this.

"I know, but I still want to give Mr. Lewis a try. I really like Tottenham." Zhang Yang said very sincerely.

Lewis stopped talking next and seemed to be thinking about something.

To be honest, it doesn't matter to him whether Tottenham is sold or not. He doesn't particularly like football, but his good friend Levi likes it very much.

Without Levy, he might have sold Tottenham long ago, but not to the upstart.

All right

, Lewis looked down upon Abu. In his opinion, the upstart was very rude and was too different from Zhang Yang.

No culture.

That's right, Abu is uneducated, so this guy can be considered a grasshopper.

Zhang Yang is different.

Although Zhang Yang also suddenly became rich, the sources of their wealth were different.

The source of Abu's wealth is no secret throughout Europe and even the world. Zhang Yang did earn it through his own personal ability, and Zhang Yang is still a college student, and his university is relatively famous in China.

Suddenly the identity gap between the two became apparent.

No one in the world would say that Zhang Yang is a nouveau riche, but Abu cannot shake off his reputation as a nouveau riche and will never be able to shake it off for the rest of his life.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yang does not drop out of school.

Although no one would say that he was a nouveau riche now that he had dropped out of school, Zhang Yang didn't want to do that. He wanted to leave a good example for his future.

Otherwise, everyone would follow his example and drop out of school to start a business.

This is not what he wants to see.

If this is really the case, wouldn’t it be a lie?

To be honest, Zhang Yang supports college students to start their own businesses, but does not support college students to drop out and start their own businesses.

Once it fails, not only will you lose money, but you will also have no way out.

If you haven't graduated from college, you can't even think about taking the civil service and career exams.

At the same time, I also missed the opportunity to enter a large company.

Without college graduates, it is difficult to enter a large company.

Therefore, in order not to bring bad influence, Zhang Yang never dropped out of school.

In fact, Zhang Yang had already lied just now. He liked Tottenham Hotspur. It was just that the London team Tottenham Hotspur was the best choice.

Abramovich also wanted to buy Tottenham at the beginning, but unfortunately Levy refused to sell.

Relatively speaking, Tottenham is more influential.

That's why he chose Tottenham.

"Mr. Zhang, if you are the one to acquire me, I will reluctantly part with you. The fixed price is 200 million pounds. If you know football, you should know that I didn't charge you more, right?" After thinking about it, Lewis nodded.

Two hundred million pounds, to be honest, this price is not high, and Zhang Yang can definitely accept it.

The acquisition price is not high, but the subsequent series of investments will be several times higher than now.

Building a new stadium and signing new players require a lot of money!

With Tottenham's current lineup, it's really not that good...
