Chapter 779： Opportunities to enter the NFL

The Dutch use and manage water resources are among the best in the world. Many people dream of thirsty and turn on the tap to get a glass of water and pour it directly into their stomachs. This dream has already been realized by the Dutch. Of course, it is very big. Part of the reason is that about 60% of the tap water in the Netherlands comes from groundwater and about 40% comes from surface water.

The northwest of the Netherlands is close to the sea and has an oceanic climate. The weather is mostly rainy in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and abundant groundwater is accumulated over time.

In the Netherlands, there are hundreds of groundwater extraction points in the whole country, distributed in forests and farmlands. The groundwater is filtered by the stratum and is far away from external sources of pollution. In addition, it has been sleeping underground for decades or even hundreds of years. The organic matter is low, and most of the organic matter will die naturally. It does not need to go through complicated purification procedures. It can be safe to drink after supplementing oxygen and removing various high-content elements in the water.

However, due to the geographic location of the Netherlands, although various sea-blocking and flood-resistant measures and projects have effectively controlled the intrusion and flooding of seawater, it is still inevitable that salt water from the North Sea will flow up to the sand dunes and seep into the ground. This has led to the province of South Holland in the west of the Netherlands. And the groundwater in parts of North Holland Province is not suitable for processing into drinking water.

Therefore, the tap water source there is surface water, mainly from surface water sources such as the Rhine River and the Maas River, accounting for 40% of the tap water sources in the Netherlands.

Compared with groundwater, the purification process of surface water is much more complicated, because surface water has not been filtered naturally and suffers from environmental pollution, and a considerable part of it is treated return wastewater. Therefore, in order to meet drinking water quality standards It needs to go through more steps to remove various impurities and disinfection. These measures are similar in the world. After filtration, surface water has to go through a disinfection process, but since 2005, the Netherlands ZF officially banned the use of chlorine as water. Basic disinfectant, let the tap water bid farewell to the special smell of chlorine.

The water companies in the Netherlands use ozone and ultraviolet disinfection technologies respectively. Only when bacteria appear in the water pipe network, the water company will add a small dose of chlorine to the water in the jurisdiction to disinfect the pipes for a short time. The same is true in the United Kingdom, and of course the surface water in the United Kingdom. The resources are more abundant. One Thames River supplies more than 13 million British people. This is exactly the point of interest Yang Cheng values. It is important to know that country Z is still using chlorine as the main disinfection measure.

If this new disinfection method can be introduced into the country, it may become a long-term benefit. After all, the water companies in many cities in China are controlled by global water giants. This is the entry point of Yang Cheng, and this ratio If it reaches more than 50%, it is better to give such an important drinking water to a foreigner, it is better to give it to this Chinese American. Besides, this time you have made such a great contribution, should you be rewarded?

Yang Chengji thought.

Later, he told the two William about this idea, which was unanimously approved, and tried to express his desire to participate in it. Since Yang Cheng dared to speak out his idea, he naturally used the abacus to bring the two William into the group. Some things may not be possible by himself, but what about the core members of the British and Dutch royal families? This deterrent is enough to pull out to frighten ordinary people.

Moreover, Yang Cheng’s plan is to first acquire a few medium-sized water companies in the UK, and use this as the basis to initiate mergers and acquisitions with other water company giants, and finally formally enter the country Z.

In his plan, the two William were indispensable. Prince William acted as an intermediary to help lead the acquisition of water companies, while William Alexander used technology to buy shares to ensure that the newly formed water group would not lag behind the major giants in terms of technology. As for Yang Orange naturally needs to provide funding and management.

This plan Yang Cheng is not going to be associated with the New Era Group. This is a conservative investment and a steady profit transmission. It is guaranteed that one day he will go bankrupt, and there is enough protection that he will not be killed by a single pole, so he plans to initiate it alone. This investment.

And the two William each participated with the funds under their own names. For the two royal family members, making a fortune in silence is the kingly way, and having said that, even if you want to be public, you can’t publicize.

Needless to say, Prince William. This guy’s assets and various fund companies have long been dug out. Fortunately, he can use the name of a charity fund to invest in the water conservancy industry without attracting criticism. After all, on the surface The profit generated by the investment is used for public welfare.

William Alexander is not easy to handle. As early as 2007, the couple who were the crown prince at the time encountered a serious integrity crisis.

At that time, with the approval of the Cabinet, the Crown Prince and his wife purchased four plots of land on a small peninsula in Mozambiha, Africa, and planned to build at least two holiday houses for private vacations.

However, after the announcement the following year, the crown prince’s move was questioned by many members of parliament who believed that it was inappropriate to build luxury villas for the Dutch royal family in such a poor African country.

However, William-Alexander argued that the villa is part of a huge local construction plan, which will boost the local economy, bring employment opportunities, more wells, houses and schools, and benefit the local people's livelihood, which is also part of the public welfare.

For this reason, William Alexander also took a stake in a local investment foundation, and he was helpless. All fools knew that this foundation was the crown prince’s personal product, didn’t he just want to avoid taxation?

After the incident was disclosed by the media, there was a wave of controversy immediately. Some people even broke out that local builders and ZF officials had corruption, bribery and other acts. They were immediately contacted with the crown prince’s construction of a holiday estate and believed that the crown prince In order to get the largest land with the least cost, the local staff members will go to work.

It was just that before the scandal broke out, it was suppressed by ZF in time. However, in order to avoid suspicion, William-Alexander sold the manor at a symbolic price after it was built, dismissing the relationship with the manor. I barely survived this crisis, but still left a bad impression in the hearts of the people

Therefore, faced with the temptation of new projects this time, he decided to invest in shares in the name of technology without paying a penny. After all, he is also an expert in water conservancy. Using his knowledge for money, the public will not be harsh on this issue. Ask for trouble.

The matter is settled in this way. After Prince William returns, he will seize the time to complete the transaction between Glencore and Haihang. All subsequent attention will be devoted to finding a suitable water company, as soon as possible and reasonable The price is convenient for Yang Cheng to purchase, which is related to the future security of life, and William dare not neglect.

Originally, he was able to make more than 100 million US dollars this time. He was still worried about how to manage his finances. He didn't expect an unexpected trip to the Netherlands and he found an excellent investment project.

And Prince William now admires Yang Cheng more and more. He can find business opportunities all the time. This also allows him to strengthen his "brother" relationship with Yang Cheng. The key moment is still "brother" reliable.

If Yang Cheng knows that he must spit out: nonsense, can it be unreliable? If anyone gives the opportunity to make money every day, he will be treated like a brother.

In addition to the water company’s plan, it’s time for the sports company that Yang Cheng thought about before to put it on the agenda. Because of an unexpected incident, Yang Cheng saw an opportunity to acquire an NFL team. Of course, there is also a little regret, because of this ball. The team does not belong to a big city, but even the least valuable team in the NFL can be ranked in the upper middle and upper reaches of the NBA. In general, it is not a loss to buy it, and this is probably a rare opportunity to acquire an NFL team in the near future. .

At the same time, for the NFL league, this is also a new value standard for the team, so this acquisition is likely to be successfully completed under the promotion of the league.

Originally, in the NFL, it was rare for teams to sell publicly. Most of them were inherited by the family: in 2011, the owner of the Oakland Raiders passed away, and the team was left to the family; in 2013, the owner of the Tennessee Titans passed away. The team was left to the family; in 2013, the owner of the Detroit Lions died and the team was left to the family; in 2014, the owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers passed away and the owner of the Denver Broncos stepped down due to Alzheimer’s disease. Also left to the family.

In other words, in the past five years, the NFL has only had one team sale. It was last year that the Buffalo Bills team sold for 1.4 billion US dollars. Obviously, the league was not satisfied with the price of the deal. Now the opportunity has come again.

Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson originally planned to sell the team after his death but unexpected circumstances forced him to change this plan. Recently, he has been scandalized. He was not only accused of harassing employees in the workplace, but also blatantly making racially discriminatory remarks. You must know that the last boss who died miserably was the former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. He was also forced to sell the ball because of openly discriminating against black people. team.

Neither the NBA nor the NFL league naturally allow things that affect the face to happen. How can you make money if you lose the face of the league?

But they are not good at forcing Jerry Richardson to sell the team, because then the two sides will be ugly, and it will stain the NFL league. Fortunately, he is almost 80 years old, and his only heir also died of cancer. , The frustrated Jerry Richardson, as the NFL league wished, actively expressed his willingness to sell the team before the start of the season.

Of course, this decision is shocking, but there are countless people who are delighted to know how many rich Americans dream of owning an NFL team. This represents the rise of family status. Think about those who look for tickets for the Super Bowl every year. Come on, tycoons and celebrities, an NFL team can weave a huge network of people. Everyone is a human being. Who would have thought of it?

Therefore, since the news was released, Jerry Richardson's phone call was blown up. He swears that he has never been so popular in his life.
