v5 Chapter 342： Fiery investment project

In the eyes of the former Prime Minister of Thailand, Wan Sheng is a young man who is well worth investing in and investing in.

For the Manchester City club, Wansheng is very influential among Manchester City fans. As long as it can stabilize Wansheng, it can also stabilize Manchester City fans. On the contrary, if there is a conflict with Wansheng, his club chairman will definitely be more Out of trouble.

In addition, Wansheng owns Tagore Wan Group, which is a pure investment company. It has risen very fast in recent years, so Wansheng is also worth investing in.

But no matter what, it is necessary to have a good relationship with Wansheng.

Thaksin was very enthusiastic after seeing Wansheng. He personally doubled the coffee for Wansheng and handed a cigar. After the politeness was over, Thaksin talked about the new season.

This is the most direct question.

The Manchester City club is the link between Thaksin and Wansheng and Thaksin. The new season's team is very important.

If Thaksin took over the Manchester City club, the team's performance has fallen significantly, then Thaksin will also have a lot of trouble, and even said that Manchester City fans may blame the new chairman because Wan Sheng has already led the team to get good The results have been recognized by all Manchester City fans. Now that the results are worse, the fans will help find the reason.

In response, Wansheng promised, "This season, the team's performance will definitely not decline!"

This is not a guarantee, but absolute confidence.

The team's strength has not declined this season. The positions of several star players who have left have been replenished. The depth of the bench has also been strengthened. The team's strength only rises but does not fall. The results are naturally guaranteed.

Thaksin felt at ease when he heard this.

He immediately said that if the team still needs to add players, the club will definitely support it.

In fact, the Thais feel that this season's transfer to Manchester City is a bit 'exceeded'. Except for a really coming Torres and Carlos, who is free to transfer, there is nothing particularly big. At the same time, Manchester City also sold the leading shooter Anelka. Counting, Manchester City did not spend too much in the transfer market. That amount of money is less than the fraction of money that the consortium has injected into the Manchester City club.

Therefore, Thaksin still hopes that the team can continue to buy a star and then declare that the star is brought by him, which will naturally give him more support among Manchester City fans.

However, Wan Sheng said, "The team's lineup is complete, and the actual preparations have begun. Even if you buy new players, it is not easy to adapt to the team."

Wan Sheng didn't say much on this issue, but his meaning was already obvious: the team has a complete lineup and no more needs to be added.

Wan Sheng doesn't dislike the new star.

However, there is really nothing to add to the current lineup of the team. The existing players alone have tens of millions of stars, and they have to sit on the bench in many games.

Even if it is not necessary to buy a star, an extra 'Chelsea's Shepchenko' will save trouble for the dressing room. There is almost no other use.

So Wansheng is still very determined.

Thaksin knew Wan Sheng's thoughts, and did not continue to talk about the topic. After all, the head coach does not require big stars is good news. Manchester City is not Real Madrid after all.

The topic of the two quickly shifted to commercial investment.

Thaksin was very interested in the Tagore Group. At the beginning of the year, Tagore Group withdrew its capital in the United States, which caused a sensation in many financial circles.

In response to this problem, Wan Shengyi smiled, "I think it is not safe to keep the funds in the United States."

"Oh?" Thaksin's interest was hooked. "What place is safer than the United States?"

The United States is undoubtedly a financial hegemon.

There used to be people in the financial world who used the fountain as a metaphor for the world's economic system. The United States is the center of the fountain. They don't even have to do anything. It is enough for them to sell technology, brand and reputation. Even technology is not the main one, and credibility is their root.

As a result, the United States printed a large number of US dollar currency issued to the world, almost has been doing cost-free trading, credibility guarantees that the US dollar has become a hard currency in the world, the US market is considered to be the world's safest market.

Wan Sheng ’s point of view is not like this, "The United States is indeed safe. But it is not the safest. I think the high credit in the United States has created enough financial bubbles, and when it reaches a certain level, it will explode. Come out, at that time, maybe Americans will not be affected too much, but foreign capital ... "

The meaning of Wan Sheng is obvious.

If there is an economic crisis in the United States, the United States will adjust its own economy, and the government will come forward to support local companies, but foreign capital will be affected, and Americans will not manage it.

"So I let the group company transfer capital to the Chinese market, and the third world's industrial assets are the most stable."

Wan Sheng continued.

In fact, these considerations have never been said to others, even Kevin Tagore, because it is related to the 'financial crisis' in the memories of previous lives.

If the expectations are not bad, the 2007 US financial crisis is about to break out, and even if it is said that these are believed, it will have no effect.

Thaksin was unconvinced.

The Sinawa family industry is still mainly in Thailand, and the US economy has little influence on Thailand.

But Thaksin was interested in the Tagore Group ’s latest investment plan, "I heard that you plan to invest in a huge football school?"

Wan Shengdao, "That is mainly for charity, for the development of Chinese football." Of course he will not tell the real reason.

Thaksin nodded in understanding, and suddenly thought, "If my family wants to join this football school, would you consider it?"

Wan Sheng was a little shocked and asked, "How do you plan to buy shares, I just want to develop Chinese football, most of this investment will be at a loss ..."

"My family is willing to invest, even if it does not make money. I have only one requirement." Thaksin said, "I hope the football school will be able to allocate some places to Thailand after it is established."

Wan Sheng thought about it and said, "It's hard for me to give an answer now."

He replied, "If there is an answer, tell me as soon as possible, my family is investing with great sincerity."

When he left the chairman's office, Wan Sheng was a little hazy.

Does this Thai family want to own a football school in China? I can't understand what I think.

In a football school built in China, it is almost impossible to make money in a short period of time, so even if you own shares, it is always an additional investment. Projects with no return are totally meaningless for real investment.

No return?

Wan Sheng thought carefully and knew the purpose of Thaksin.

Simply put, enthusiasm and politics!

In the Manchester City club. Thaksin has just served as the club ’s chairman. A Thai man will serve as the chairman of the English club. He certainly wo n’t get much support from fans. Thaksin is planning to live in the UK for a long time. He hopes to change this situation. I hope to get more fans' support, so I have to draw myself who is very prestigious among the fans. Only by supporting him can he get more support from the fans.

This is wooing.

At the political level, it is necessary to talk about the influence of the Shinawatra family in Thailand.

Thaksin is a legendary figure in Thai business and politics.

In 1981, after two business failures and a high debt of 200 million baht, Thaksin finally found his strengths. Taking advantage of his past relationship, Thaksin leased IBM computers to government departments. investment company.

In 1986. Thailand opened up the telecommunications industry to private operations, and Sinawa Computer Company became one of the first telecommunications companies to obtain a business license.

In 1990, the company went public and almost monopolized the Thai TV satellite antenna and mobile phone industries. In the mid-1990s, Thaksin already owned more than 50% of the four listed companies, and the media called him a "telecom tycoon."

At this time, Thaksin became the richest man in Thailand and the only Thai among the 500 "tycoons" in the world of Fortune.

After commercial success, Thaksin did not forget his childhood aspirations and set out to enter the political arena.

In an interview in 1992. Thaksin said: "Politics and business are inseparable. We must accept this fact. Politics is like the sun, business is like the earth. If the earth is too close to the sun, it will be hot, and too far. It will be cold. Cannot be completely separated. "

After taking part in politics, Thaksin served as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chuan-Lepai cabinet from 1994 to 1995.

"Thaksin has always traveled between business and politics, and his success is due to his ability to coordinate these two areas."

Independent scholar Chris Baker said.

In 1998, Thaksin joined 22 businessmen and scholars to establish the Thai Love Thai Party, which not only catered to the disappointment of the Thai business community at the time of traditional elite politics, but also captured the hearts of farmers.

In the January 2001 general election. The Thai Thai Party became the first political party in Thailand ’s general election history to win an absolute majority of parliament and was able to form a cabinet. Thaksin subsequently became the prime minister of Thailand. Thaksin not only changed the political landscape of Thailand, but also pushed the political influence of the Sinawa family to the peak.

2004 was the pinnacle of Thaksin's ruling achievements. This year, the Thai economy grew by more than 6%, the highest point since 1997. The stock market index reached 794, three times that of 2001.

Thaksin's family business is booming, and his personal wealth is estimated to reach $ 5 billion.

His biography, speech collections and recordings flooded the bookstore, and people were eager to learn about his life and secrets of success. Facing the next year's election, Thaksin once again promoted "popularism."

He inspected various places. In the northeast region, he promised that the government would invest 100 billion baht to initiate construction projects; in the north, he committed 6 billion baht for construction projects; in Chiang Mai, he said he would eliminate urban poverty within three years; in Bangkok, He even invited all taxi drivers to the government building for lunch.

At the end of the year, Thaksin said: "In the next four years, Thailand will have no one to work hard but be homeless, no peasants will not have their own land ... no children will not be educated, no patients will not be healed, no The lonely old man also has no helpless disabled people. "

But Thaksin ’s bold reforms touched Bangkok ’s upper elite.

Thaksin also tried to replace the forces of the army in southern Thailand with police forces, which led to serious unrest in southern Thailand. This turmoil not only killed nearly 6,000 people, but also made the military hate him. Political opponents have been waiting for the opportunity to give Thaksin a fatal blow.

In 2006, the Sinava family sold its telecommunications company's shares to Temasek Singapore for a high price. Political opponents attacked him to use preferential policies to avoid tax and seek profiteering, and thus launched a protracted anti-Thaksin movement.

As a result, during Thaksin ’s attendance at the UN conference, a coup took place in the country, the Thai Ai Thai Party was disbanded, and Thaksin had nowhere to return.

Thaksin's sudden outage severely damaged the Shinawatra family, but the foundation is still there. The Shinawatra family still controls a large amount of assets and social relations in Thai politics.

Even if he is now in exile in the UK and seeking British political blessings, Thaksin needs to expand the influence of the Shinawatra family in Thailand.

In addition to the political-government-struggle in Thailand, constantly doing things for the Thai people has also become a way of expanding influence. It is not difficult to understand that Thaksin chose to fight for ‘Thai Academy places’ to fund the football school.

When the Thai people know that the top influential football schools founded by the Tagore Wan Group in China will include Thai students, they will think of the Shinawatra family in Thaksin. This is their Credit.

Just being able to do this is enough to support Thaksin in doing so.

In the end, Wansheng considered it and agreed.

This has no harm to him and the Tagore Group. After all, the absolute controlling power is in the hands of the Tagore Group, and Thaksin ’s capital injection can also help the group company share part of the funds and risks.

However, the Thaksin consortium's specific method of capital injection still needs some consideration, and this is left to Kevin Tagore to deal with.

————

After walking out of the chairman's office, Wan Sheng had already made a decision, but he did not tell him the letter in the first place, but said he had to consider it.

After that, Wan Sheng returned to the training ground and continued to lead the team for tactical training. After a day of training, the effect is still some. At least let all new players understand the concept of tactics and how to go in the game. Do it, then the training will be familiar with tactics and cooperation.

That night, after the team announced its disbandment, Wan Sheng returned home after dinner, and was ready to call Kevin Tagore to have him send someone to discuss with the Thaksin consortium about joining a football school.

But just after picking up the phone, the phone screen lit up, and it was Kevin Tagore.

"Kevin, what's the matter?"

Wan Sheng asked directly. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

He knew that Kevin Tagore must have something, so he called him.

"Do you know Prince Walid?"

Wan Sheng froze.

"It is Prince Walid of the Saudi royal family. It is said to be the richest Saudi prince. His worth is tens of billions of dollars!"

"What prince?" Wan Sheng couldn't understand more.

Kevin Tagore immediately explained, "I just received a call from Prince Walid's assistant. He said that Prince Walid is very interested in investing in our football school project at tj."

Wan Sheng was completely stunned.

When did it start, the "Football School Investment Plan", which was hard to make money and was used solely for the upgrade of your football training master system, became a hot investment project?

First the Thaksin Consortium in Thailand and the richest prince in Saudi Arabia? (To be continued.)
