Chapter 1346: Showing Kindness
"Liverpool?"
In addition to the Boston Red Sox baseball team, the New England Sports Venture Capital Company founded by John Henry also owns the English Liverpool Football Club. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Are you interested in becoming a minority shareholder in Liverpool?" asked John Henry, nodding slightly.
During the cooperation with Park Ji-hoon, it was very pleasant, never interfered in the team's operation, and did not say a word when he needed to contribute, where to find such a cooperative teammate?
More importantly, the growth rate of Park Ji-hoon's wealth in the past two years has made them, several major shareholders of New England Sports Ventures, reluctant to give up such an ally.
Today, Park Ji-hoon's wealth is higher than the market value of the entire New England sports venture capital firm!
This proposal was made by them to take the initiative to show favor to Park Ji-hoon.
South Korea's sports and entertainment circles are very closely connected, and Park Ji-hoon, as one of the president-level figures in the entertainment industry, naturally knows how deep the water in the sports world is. When he first invested in the Boston Red Sox baseball team, his goal was not to make a profit or to own a sports club, but to expand his network and serve as a springboard to Europe and the United States. In fact, he was so successful that even John Henry, the boss, was not as successful as he was!
If he can become a shareholder of a football club like Liverpool, it will definitely be more beneficial to his career.
It doesn't require a lot of money and doesn't need him to run it himself, and he can give him the title of "Liverpool Football Club's shareholder" and the privileges he needs.
In addition, there are reasons within the New England Sports Ventures.
Liverpool FC has been in the red, and although its turnover has been steadily improving, it has not been able to make a profit. However, since the acquisition of New England Sports Ventures, the club is getting back on track, with a 19% increase in turnover to £255.6 million as of 31 May 2014, which is a sign of John Henry's overture.
Otherwise, it is not a show of goodwill, but a "water ghost".
"Then the second shareholder. Park Ji-hoon said with a smile after a moment of contemplation.
There are a lot of minority shareholders in Liverpool FC and it doesn't make much sense to just be one of them. The second shareholder doesn't need much capital, and tens of millions of dollars can still be taken out.
The reason why I agreed so readily was because I believed in the professionalism, intentions, and trust of John Henry in New England Sports Ventures.
"No problem!" said John Henry.
Since you are here to show goodwill, of course, you have to do it refreshingly.
After a few more conversations about the baseball team, John Henry said goodbye and left.
Park Ji-hoon also returned to his residence, located in Chestnut Hill, a western suburb of Boston.
Although the name bears the word "mountain", this is not a mountain, but rather a combination of several small hills in the area surrounded by a lake, covering about 135 hectares, belonging to Boston's affluent district, where the owner of the football team New England Patriots, Robert Kraft, world model Giselle Bundchen, Reebok owner Paul Fellman, and many Boston Red Sox players live.
Surrounded by lakes and hills of different sizes, natural vegetation forests and carefully manicured private gardens contrast with each other, and the luxurious villas full of historical atmosphere are scattered like pearls, whether it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, distant or close-up, Chestnut Mountain is like an oil painting. The famous Boston College is also located here, which gives it a rich cultural heritage.
Park Ji-hoon has an $8 million villa here for himself and his future children.
In the future, his children will definitely come to Boston to go to school and do part-time internships.
"Brother, how is it?" Park Min-ah was reading a book at home, and when she saw him come back, she asked with a smile.
I've dealt with these scholars, so I firmly refused tonight's banquet.
Park Ji-hoon directly threw the bag in his hand over.
"Hey......" Park Min-ah took the bag and smiled.
"I'll take a shower first!" Park Ji-hoon said in a deliberately listless tone.
"Go!" Park Min-ah waved her hand in a "I'm ready" tone.
Get up and help him put his bag away.
This time was good, and it was nearly 20 minutes before Park Ji-hoon returned to the living room.
"When I go back, I will remember to work out and practice yoga with Yuri and Pani!" said the first thing when she saw Park Min-ah.
I already said once when we first met that Park Min-ah had gained some weight during this time.
"Got it!" Park Min Ah snorted dissatisfiedly.
It's just a little fatter, it's only 52kg, and his eyes are poisonous!
Park Ji-hoon sat down on the sofa opposite.
I call almost every day, but I don't have much to say when we meet at the moment.
"Is there a plan for maternal and infant products?" asked Park Ji-hoon after eating a few grapes.
"Aren't you learning about it!" replied, shaking the book in her hand.
"Healthy Children, Healthy World", a best-selling book in the United States.
"If you want to do it, you have to do it seriously. Park Ji-hoon said.
"Of course!" Park Min-ah put down the book in her hand, leaned forward slightly, and said with a little excitement, "A technical consultant from California Baby has agreed to join our company!"
It's rare to do something alone, and it's a career that is helpful to the family, and she is very attentive.
"The key is to keep the original intention unchanged!" Park Ji-hoon poured cold water on her.
When the famous American movie star Jessica Alba founded her own baby brand The Honest, she claimed to be "healthy, non-toxic, and all-natural", but the result was that she used words such as "all-natural" and "100% natural" on products containing methylisothiazolinone or synthetic preservatives or cocamidopropylamine oxide to mislead consumers, or only care about "natural" and ignore the benefits that should be produced in the film.
As a star entrepreneur, The Honest has a strong development momentum, and Park Ji-hoon specially learned about it to provide advice to Park Min-ah.
"I'll appoint someone from the product inspection department. "Park Ji-hoon can be described as painstaking.
"Brother does anyone you know?" asked Park Min-ah's eyes lit up.
"Nope. Park Ji-hoon shook his head and denied it.
Park Min-ah's nose wrinkled, dissatisfied with his behavior of selling Guanzi.
"I don't know anyone, but I can go and find it. Park Ji-hoon smiled and explained, "Moreover, it can increase the brand value!"
"Who is so powerful?" Park Min-ah asked with a wink, impatient.
To be honest, although she is eager to try, she has only preliminarily sorted out some product plans, and she is not too confident in whether she can detonate the market.
Branding matters!
However, Park Ji-hoon actually wants to help her solve this problem!
