Chapter 1429 Two Roads to the Sea

  Xia Jingxing glanced at the bangs and grinned, "Do we need to have such a separation between us? If there is anything, just say it directly."

   "Okay, then I'll just say, isn't our investment in the sports industry too big?"

  Liu Hai gestured and said, "Look, the acquisition of the Golden State Warriors is $450 million, and the construction of new venues requires another $1 billion;

   Acquired Liverpool Club for 350 million pounds, injected 200 million pounds for team operations and signings, and needed another 1 billion pounds to build a new home, which translates to an investment of up to 2.5 billion US dollars.

   Also I heard that Chamath is still helping you find NFL Major League football teams, at least another ten or two billion dollars.

   All add up to five or six billion US dollars. Do you need to invest so much in the sports industry?

   I know this is diversifying investment risk, but I think it really needs to be done in moderation.

   Moreover, these sports industries are all concentrated in the United Kingdom and the United States. If there is a full-scale confrontation one day, it will be a lot more troublesome to dispose of these assets, and it is not as convenient as financial assets.

   Don't overestimate the moral qualities of the Angsa gang, they can do anything.

  伱 is now helping the mainland to develop the semiconductor industry. If one day angers those people, maybe all the sports industry will be used as a fine. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled and nodded, Liu Hai was telling the truth and he was also wary of this.

   But isn't there a complete withdrawal from the United States? There are still eight years before the full face tear.

   In this time window, which is neither short nor long, he still has to catch a few before running away.

   "I know what you said in my heart. Although there are crises around us, we still need to make money and accumulate resources in the international market.

Whether it’s investing in American NBA and NFL teams, or investing in Premier League teams, or even setting up an international headquarters for Renaissance Industries in Silicon Valley, or building a $200 million mansion in Palo Alto, and pulling in a group of American elites to invest Vision Capital is all about accepting an investment certificate.

   It's not always possible to transfer a dollar for every dollar earned in the US, right? In that case, won't Aoguanhai invite me to tea? "

   Having said this, Xia Jingxing smiled, undercover is not so easy to be, how much he has paid over the years to maintain a fairly stable development environment.

   "There is also Xinxin Group. The Qimonda and GlobalFoundries they acquired have established fabs in the United States, and they will upgrade and expand these factories in the future to make Aoguanhai happy for a while.

  Tesla's Fremont factory is about to start producing cars. Aoguanhai and the Department of Energy are laughing at this project promoted by them, a model performance project! "

Liu Hai nodded knowingly. He did not know the specific content of the conversation between Xia Jingxing and Ao Guanhai, but he knew that Xia Jingxing was the guest of honor at the official residence that symbolized the highest power in the United States, and maintained the relationship with the government headed by Ao Guanhai. Nice relationship.

   "It's actually hard to be in my position, it's just surviving in the cracks!"

  Xia Jingxing looked at the vast blue sky outside the porthole. He also wanted to go out to sea unscrupulously. While not paying the protection fee, he made suggestions on gun control and human rights issues in the UK and the US.

  But if the family doesn't have that condition, then you can only use your brains and use some roundabout tactics.

   "Take Liverpool as an example, I plan to run it into a champion team of the Premier League and the Champions League, and let the trademark of Renaissance Industry run on the arena of the Premier League and the Champions League for 700 million people in Europe to see.

   There are only so many developed countries in the world. Europe, America, Japan and Korea are new. Except for the Kangaroo Country, New Zealand and the Jewish Base Camp, where there are relatively few deployments, other developed countries have their own layouts.

   Fuxing mobile phones, smart homes, and even Fuxing cars in the future are all high-end products that only developed countries and regions can afford.

   Therefore, even if the domestic market is large enough and the environment is comfortable enough, we still go to North America, Europe, Japan and South Korea, and promote our hardware products and Internet products with the spirit of Yugong moving mountains.

   Being trapped in the domestic market, it will never become a real world-class technology giant, nor can it help the country to complete its industrial upgrading.

   Therefore, whether it is for yourself or for the 1.4 billion people, you have to fight hard for resources.

  Don't Europeans like football, then we will use football as a starting point to extend our industrial tentacles little by little.

  Unilever in the UK, Volkswagen in Germany, luxury goods and cosmetics in France are all selling well in China, and what consumer brands in China are selling well in Europe for individual users?

  The answer is no, they all do OEM for them, without their own brand, all they earn are hard-earned money.

  Young people feel introverted and feel hopeless in life. When they see the smiles on the faces of Europeans and Americans, they say that it is happiness from the heart and the light of freedom...

   So what we are doing now has a profound impact and significance.

  Those entrepreneurs with ideas, ability and courage can follow the successful path we have trod out to let their brands go overseas to Europe, inject new vitality into the economy, and bring new hope to young people.

   Let’s go back to football, which is essentially a business.

  Abu bought Chelsea in the hope of integrating into the upper class of the UK, while Mansour bought Manchester City to promote the United Arab Emirates, and we bought Liverpool also to promote the revival of industry and let our high-end electronic and electrical products enter the European market.

Of course, the developing markets in Asia, Africa and Latin America do not mean giving up completely. Mosquito legs are meat after all, and low-end consumer electronics, household appliances, and cars, led by Honor mobile phones, will still be sold to the people of third world countries. superior.

  The two development strategies correspond to two different routes to the sea, but they will also encounter many problems.

   If there is a problem, then solve it. It is most taboo to look ahead and look back when doing things.

I know that the Angsa gang is not a good thing. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have no faith. Doing business with them is actually a lot of risk, but there is no way. Now they have money, we need to earn dollars from them. , sterling to feed a growing renaissance industry.

   Maybe one day, due to some unexpected events, the international pattern will change drastically, and even our sports industry investment will not have time to dispose of and realize it, and it will become an abandoned child.

   But as long as the revival industry develops, it is enough, and I am satisfied.

  Nothing can be perfect, and it is reluctant that the child cannot catch the wolf.

   Don't look at Li Huangtai's current position in the international market, as if I were a stateless free businessman, but I'm sure that sooner or later, he will become a lost dog.

   For no other reason, his skin color, his race is the original sin! White people will never really accept him. "

  Liu Hai heard Xia Jingxing say so much, and instantly understood a lot, and also realized that Xia Jingxing was not easy.

   Don't look at the majesty of Asia's richest man now, but he actually dances on eggs, which is a test of his skill.

   "But you're right about one thing, after acquiring an NFL team, it's time to stop.

  I still need to save money to help Laomei upgrade the semiconductor industry. "

  Liu Hai smiled, that is, to restore the normal production capacity of several bankrupt fabs, which is an upgraded industry.

  The semiconductor industry in the United States is so high-end, and Xia Jingxing is not ready to upgrade. Even if Xinxin Group does not restore the production capacity of those fabs, other chip manufacturers will quickly step up to fill the gap.

   Before the international situation has completely collapsed, we can still have a few more years of intimacy with the old and the United States in exchange for precious and critical development time.

   One-sided rigidity is definitely not enough. You must learn to distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions, make close attacks from afar, and at the same time, combine your own development situation, step by step, and fight steadily.
