Chapter 62 The Boss's Mind
Gao Bo looked at David Morton sitting in front of him with interest.
Today's David looks more energetic than what Gao Bo had seen before. His hair was smeared with a thick layer of hairspray, and the hair attached to the scalp was like a pine needle, and the back of the head was combed into a large greasy head.
Look at the surrounding environment, a high-end bar, very quiet, occasionally can hear the whispers of drinkers.
There was none of the staggering of taverns in England, no loud noises, save for the clattering of shoes on the floor as the bartenders moved, and the soft classical symphony in the pub.
It's a fancy bar, in other words, it's a high-spending bar.
Gao Bo didn't like this kind of environment very much, and what he didn't like the most was the glass of red wine placed in front of him.
Gao Bo prefers spirits to red wine.
"You're rich, David..."
Red wine is also wine, Gao Bo reluctantly raised his glass and took a sip.
"I made a small fortune from investing recently..." David Morton smiled smugly.
Gao Bo couldn't help but glance at David. 2008 has just passed. If people remember, the terrifying financial tsunami made many rich people go bankrupt. In such an environment, investment income can still be achieved, which shows that David Morton is not just a second-generation rich man.
Gao Bo turned the wine glass, he was thinking, should he also make some investments?
However, Gao Bo is not very interested in financial products. He does know that there are several super Internet companies that will grow into world giants in the future.
"Have you heard of Facebook, David?"
Speaking of the fastest growing offensive in the next ten years, in addition to those Internet giants in China, these Internet giants have grown up in the US market.
In the next ten years after the financial crisis, these Internet companies will be the fastest growing.
"I have heard that they are doing a good job. It is said that the number of users has exceeded 100 million."
David Morton is also a young man, and he still knows a lot about these new things.
"I'm very optimistic about them, maybe you can invest your money in this company." Gao Bo raised his glass, frowned and took another sip.
Compared with the current environment, Gao Bo prefers street taverns.
"You still know how to invest?" David looked suspicious.
Regarding Gao Bo's professionalism in football coaching, American David is still full of doubts about Gao Bo, a Chinese, guiding him to make financial investments.
David, who made some money, now feels like the wolf of Wall Street. If it is discussing football tactics or something, David Morton will not have any doubts about Gao Bo, but when it comes to investment and finance... David Morton But when the confidence is the most bursting.
David Morton didn't continue this topic, he didn't ask Gao Bo to talk about this.
"Congratulations to the team for eliminating Chelsea and reaching the fourth round of the FA Cup!" David Morton toasted.
Gao Bo also raised his glass in response.
"Is that Adam White really as good as the media say?" David Morton looked curious.
"If he can maintain his crazy performance against Chelsea, he will be a genius that England can rival Robben." Gao Bo naturally wouldn't say that Adam's performance was so crazy because of the card's boosting effect.
"How much do you think he is worth?"
David Morton leaned in, his eyes shining.
"If it is now, those big clubs are willing to pay about five million at most." Gao Bo frowned, but Gao Bo answered the boss's question truthfully.
Spend five million to buy a young player in the second division,
This was a pretty exaggerated figure in 2008.
"Only five million?!"
David Morton's disappointment hangs on his face.
"Didn't you say he can match Robben?"
"Yes, if this situation develops, I wouldn't be surprised that Adam White surpasses Robben. But on the football field, there are many talents of all kinds, but most people's final development is not the same as expected. Yes. There are many talented players, but if you want to become a top superstar, injuries, mentality, and even luck will affect their growth." Gao Bo put down the glass and looked into David Morton's eyes seriously: " After all, Adam is only a half-finished product now.”
David Morton nodded.
"I see that the English media these days call him a talented player comparable to Messi..."
"You trust the English media?"
"I'd rather believe that Wall Street is all honest people..."
The two laughed, causing the high-end people around to look at them.
Really incompetent...
......
The two laughing are no longer as pure as they used to be.
Goldberg understood what David Morton meant when he asked himself how much Adam was worth.
For David Morton, maintaining such a professional club is actually very difficult. Even if it is a League B team, the net investment of hundreds of thousands of pounds a year is a heavy burden for David Morton, the rich second generation of the dead father.
And now Luton, most of the income comes from tickets for home games, as well as bonuses and broadcast revenue from cup games this season. But this income is obviously nothing compared to buying and selling players. Don't look at David Morton's disappointment that Adam White can only buy five million. This is because in his heart, Adam White is at least a It can be sold for more than ten million pounds.
Ten million pounds, let alone David Morton, his deceased father, earned that in a year.
With so much money, it's no wonder David Morton is thinking about...
"If Adam White grows well in another two years, the big clubs will wave cheques for him. But right now, he's definitely not going to sell for that much."
Gao Bo thought for a while and said after considering the language.
Gao Bo actually doesn't want to make money by buying and selling players. It takes a lot of energy to bring a team out. If possible, Gao Bo wants to keep this group of players. There are some young people. If they keep this group of young people, Luton can even rely on this group of young people to continue to advance to the Premier League, and even in the Premier League, they can also have a certain competitiveness.
After all, if a team's main lineup has to be replaced every year, it is not a good thing for the team's combat effectiveness.
The owner of the team thinks about making money, but the head coach of the team is not interested in that.
"By the way, Chelsea refused to give us the ticket money for the third round of the FA Cup..." Gao Bo said bad news.
The smile on David Morton's face froze.
This game alone has hundreds of thousands of ticket revenue, and Luton can be said to be drooling over this piece of cake.
According to the official rules of the FA Cup, ticket revenue should be split equally between the opposing teams. But by convention, when the giants play against lower-level teams, they will donate their half to the opponent.
It's just this time, Chelsea obviously has a grudge with Luton. Whether it's Scolari or Chelsea's owner Abramovich, even if these hundreds of thousands of pounds are just a small amount of money for Chelsea, they are not willing to share them with those they hate. High wave...
David Morton looked at Gao Bo with some resentment.
Obviously, if Gao Bo hadn't offended Chelsea so badly before the game, Luton would have earned hundreds of thousands of pounds more in ticket revenue.
....
Gao Bo came out of the bar wearing a black plush coat.
Six months ago, David Morton was just a poor and rich second generation who inherited his father's negative assets.
And now, David Morton is the owner of the most powerful team in the Second Division. If he sells this ball to all the main players, he will receive at least 20 million pounds of funds-and It's cash!
This has almost doubled the assets of the team's owner.
Gao Bo can understand David Morton's thoughts very well. To be honest, if he has the opportunity to earn so much in less than half a year, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will not be tempted.
But in the end, Gao Bo is the head coach of the team, and he doesn't want his players to be sold by the boss...
This is a team that has put a lot of effort into it.
He glanced at the gray sky and the drizzle of rain falling in the air. Gao Bo was used to this kind of weather. He didn't hold an umbrella and walked directly into the drizzle.
