Chapter 170: Keeping a business is more difficult than starting a business

After Jiang Feng read the information, he had a plan in his heart, and said to the two sisters: "This thing is very useful, and your task has been completed very well." ”

"Didn't you say there was a bonus?" Agnes was a little upset when she saw that Jiang Feng didn't mention the bonus.

"There's going to be a bonus, what do you want?" Jiang Feng asked.

"I want an Aston Martin car." Agnes said to Jiang Feng.

Aston Martin's racing?! Jiang Feng said in his heart, I don't have this thing myself!

Aston Martin sports cars are mostly front-mounted V8 or inline 6-cylinder engines, which are powerful and aerodynamic, accelerating from a standstill to 100 km/h in just six seconds.

In recent years, Aston Martin has not been doing well and has been acquired by Ford, but their cars are very famous on the international circuit, winning many international motor championships. Moreover, these cars are all handmade, exquisite workmanship, reliable quality, and the annual output is only 800 vehicles. Even the cheapest Aston Martin sports car costs no less than a hundred thousand dollars in the international market.

"I'm driving a normal Mercedes!" Jiang Feng said.

Andrea didn't say anything, but Agnes asked Jiang Feng for payment, and in the end, in desperation, Jiang Feng had to give her 200,000 US dollars and let her buy an Aston Martin by herself.

"I'm afraid I can't buy a sports car like this with the money, right?" Agnes was happy when she got the money, but she raised the issue again.

Jiang Feng had no choice now, so he had to give her another 200,000 yuan, and said: "With this, you should be able to buy it, if you want a better car, work hard in the future!" I have a lot of money, but this kind of thing is not to be encouraged, so you still have to rely on your own wisdom to make money! ”

"What wisdom?" Agnes said. "Is it okay to go to bed with you? Now I suddenly realize that you are still very attractive! ”

"Am I charismatic? Let's talk about it. Fan Jiangfeng was quite happy to hear Agnes's words.

"The charm of money!" Agnes said with a smile.

"Holy!" Jiang Feng was dizzy at that time, "It turns out that you have a fancy for my money!" ”

"In this day and age, women follow men, eighty or ninety percent of them are for money." Agnes said unconcernedly.

"Uh......" Jiang Feng really didn't know what to say.

"Let's go, sister, let's go buy a car. Well, with these 400,000 dollars, you can probably buy a regular Aston Martin. Agnes said with a grin at Andrea.

While Jiang Feng was leisurely strolling around the major attractions in London, the staff of Jiang's Investment Fund were also communicating with the Manchester United team on various matters. Of course, the main focus is still on head coach Alex Ferguson. Because as far as the current situation is concerned, the big difference between them is the reinforcement plan.

While the staff of the Jiang Investment Fund are doing Ferguson's work, Sir Gardner, the current chairman of Manchester United's board, is also quietly doing Ferguson's work. Gardner was hardworking, not only was Alex Ferguson his old friend, but it was in his own interest. Because at that dinner, Jiang Feng vaguely made a promise to him. As long as Ferguson is willing to step back, Jiang Feng will strongly recommend him as Manchester United's executive director after the reshuffle of Manchester United's board of directors.

Because Jiang Feng acquired more than 90% of the shares of Manchester United Club, the restructured Manchester United Board of Directors. The position of chairman must be Jiang Feng's, there is no doubt about this. However, Jiang Feng definitely can't stay in the UK for a long time, so. The power of this executive director is great, and Sir Gardner also values it very much.

So. With the joint efforts of both sides, and the old man himself did not really disagree with Jiang Feng's reinforcement plan, the old man gave in and took the initiative to go to London to negotiate with Jiang Feng in person.

The negotiation went smoothly, the old man was not really against Jiang Feng's recruitment plan, on the contrary, he admired most of the personnel in Jiang Feng's recruitment list very much, and even sent the team's scouts to track it for a long time. The reason why he disagrees with Jiang Feng's recruitment plan is that he is dissatisfied with Jiang Feng's criticism of the team's recruitment work after acquiring the team, and the second is that he believes that most of the personnel in the recruitment list are not the best time to introduce them, and they must wait until a more suitable time to introduce them.

Such a reason was not too sufficient, so under Jiang Feng's persuasion, the old man quickly agreed. Because Jiang Feng told him that with the successful acquisition of Chelsea by Abramovich, the richest man in Russia, Chelsea must also spend a lot of money this summer and make a lot of reinforcements. When the time comes, those players are likely to be snatched away. Even if it can't be snatched away, it will definitely be because of Chelsea's competition, which will make the introduction price soar, which is even more unworthy.

Although there is still more than a month before the opening of the summer transfer window, a lot of work can be done during this time, and even a private transfer agreement can be reached with the team of some target players, and then the target player can be acquired as soon as the transfer window opens.

Jiang Feng hopes to play a time gap, because when Russia's richest man bought Chelsea, this summer's transfer window had already opened. Abu couldn't have started buying players as soon as the acquisition was completed. Although Jiang Feng is rich now, there is still a big gap between him and Abu. After all, Abu's net worth now exceeds 20 billion US dollars, and Jiang Feng adds up all his property, and there is a certain gap between it. Moreover, Jiang Feng didn't want to fight with Abu to get rich, it would be too tasteless.

Before leaving, the old man asked Jiang Feng a question.

"Mr. Jiang, I know that many successful people like you like to start their own business. Take the Russian tycoon, for example, he did not buy big clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool or Arsenal, but a club that is not very well-known, Chelsea. In your words, starting a dynasty is more challenging than inheriting one. But why did you choose to buy a big club like Manchester United, rather than an ordinary club? I believe that with your current financial strength, you can buy a small club and make it a giant. The old man asked puzzled.

"Jazz, I'm not like most people, I invest in football, it's not just an investment, because while investing, I'm still a fan. I bought Manchester United because I am a Manchester United fan and I hope that with the support of my financial strength, Manchester United can reach greater heights. And, sir, I don't think it's more challenging to start a dynasty than to inherit one. In China, there is a saying that 'starting a business is easier than keeping a business', and I very much agree with this. In the early days of entrepreneurship, you are thinking about how to start your own business, and your mentality is driven and passionate at that time. However, when you have your own business, you are more concerned about how to better develop your company after grasping the current results, which is a more conservative mentality. Moreover, after the success of the business, people may become proud, greedy for comfort, and do not want to forge ahead. I bought Manchester United, maybe I could easily win some trophies, but it's hard to get the public's approval, because in their minds, Manchester United has to do that. Therefore, if we want to satisfy everyone, we only have to get more titles, such as double crowns, triple crowns, Grand Slams and so on, two consecutive championships on New Year's Eve, three consecutive championships, and so on. Financially, I was an entrepreneur and until now, I've been very successful because I started from scratch and in just a few years became a super-rich man with a net worth of over 10 billion pounds, although I am not well known to the world. Now, I want to be a successful keeper! I guess that's more challenging than being the founder of a dynasty. Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang, it seems that we are fellow believers!" The old man smiled.

Everyone only saw Ferguson's victories at Manchester United, but not many people cared about the hardships.

When Alex Ferguson entered Manchester United, Manchester United was still a bad team in the abyss of relegation. At that time, as long as he could make Manchester United successfully relegated, he would be able to make countless Manchester United fans praise. However, later, after Manchester United successfully relegated, because Manchester United had no title for three years, Old Trafford fans told him to get out of the way in front of him. And now, if Manchester United is empty in any year, the pressure on the old man will be even greater.

It is also for this reason that Ferguson also has a deep understanding of Jiang Feng's sentence "It is easy to start a business and difficult to keep a business", but he is still determined to be a keeper of the industry, sticking to Manchester United for 17 years without leaving. This day will continue in the future until it becomes an unsurpassable legend.

Hearing the old man's words, Jiang Feng also laughed and said, "Sir, then let's work together to fulfill our common wish!" ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

In this look at each other and a smile, the previous estrangement between the two disappeared in an instant, but they suddenly became heart-to-heart friends. This can be fully seen from the cooperation between the two for more than ten years in the future. Jiang Feng gave Ferguson absolute trust and support in the team's work, and Ferguson repaid Jiang Feng with one championship after another, and brought Manchester United to one peak after another that is difficult to surpass, becoming an unsurpassable legend comparable to Everest in the football world.
