Chapter 1179 Manchester United 2007
In addition to the growing Manchester United business, the fastest development is Manchester United Catering and Manchester United Hotel.
After more than three years of development, Manchester United's 'Legendary Bar' and 'Fan Restaurant' have developed to 39 and 25 respectively.
‘Legendary Bar’ is named after Manchester United to the present, all the meritorious players.
Such as the "Baker Him" ‘Best Bar’ ‘Charton Bar’ and so on.
The reason for this is also to win customers.
You know the British do not say that the per capita football fans, but at least half of the people like it.
It is difficult to imagine a restaurant with a Manchester City fan hanging on the name of 'Manchester United.
In contrast, Barkham and Best players are different.
There is only one Beckham in Britain, but there are many named Beckham.
Besides, Manchester United's famous fellow is also the foot of the country, and the bad sense of hostile fans is not so great.
‘Fan Restaurant’ is much simpler. It was originally facing fans and simply expressing his chest.
These sixty bars and restaurants have brought more than 15 million pounds of income to Manchester United in the past quarter.
Compared with 'Manchester United Catering', the development of 'Manchester United Sports Hotel' is much slower.
After more than three years, only seven four -star hotels were built.
"David, what is the average check -in rate of the hotel?"
Xu Liang asked.
"71.6%. The hotel in Manchester and London has the highest occupancy rate, with an average of 85%. The two hotels in Barcelona and Madrid were established late, with the lowest occupancy rate, only about 45%.
However, I believe that as we continue to work hard, after the word of mouth is opened, we can definitely win the hearts of customers with integrity. "David Gill quickly said.
Xu Liang nodded.
"I believe in you, I will watch the performance of 'Manchester United Sports Hotel" next. "
No one will blow, but the performance cannot be fake.
"Okay."
"The property party of the hotel usually contacted more."
David Gill understands, "You can rest assured, we have always been in contact with the property party."
Xu Liang told him a long time ago that the location of the hotel should be as close to the bustling urban area as possible, especially the rich and rich areas.
All hotel properties are also required to rent or not buy.
He was still a little puzzled.
But now watching the US -derived subprime crisis is getting worse, he gradually understands the big boss's plan.
Seeing him, Xu Liang didn't say more.
It's not the time.
Lehman closed down, and the bond crisis entered a climax is a good opportunity to start.
At that time, whether you are Manhattan or London Financial City, it is still necessary to fall.
In addition to the operation, the construction of Manchester United's new stadium also settled with a butt debt.
The construction expenditure of 1.5 billion pounds is not enough to support such a huge debt only with Manchester United's own revenue.
Britain is not allowed to sell flowers, otherwise the apartment attached to the new stadium can recover a lot of money in advance.
In addition to the expenditure of the new stadium, Manchester United's various business expansion also requires spending money.
Just the latter part can absorb Manchester United's annual profit.
In addition to these two aspects, when Xu Liang acquired Manchester United, he had a total of £ 420 million, and he only paid £ 150 million in cash.
The remaining 170 million pounds of debt was not repaid.
This is a big sum of money.
Lin Lin was added together, and Manchester United's total liabilities were close to 1.7 billion pounds.
Although the total liabilities are high, Manchester United's situation is much better than the Graizer family in history.
The latter acquired Manchester United in 2005, which made the Red Devils on the debt of 660 million pounds, and up to 16%of interest, which was still compounded.
Make a simple analogy.
The hot thorns built a new stadium to debt 800 million pounds and repay the principal and interest of 40 million pounds per year. After Graizer's acquisition of Manchester United, Riman's interest expenses were as high as 900 million pounds, with an average of 50 million interest expenses per year.
Note that this is just interest and does not include principal.
In the eighteen years, the Graize family not only did not invest a penny, but also took 155 million pounds from Manchester United.
Under such a huge debt, the Red Devils not only did not collapse, but also won the Champions League and the league three consecutive championships.
It can only be said that the old man is a real thigh.
In contrast, although Xu Liang brought to Manchester United's debt, although there were £ 1.7 billion, the interest of these debts was only 6%.
The interest is so low that he is not handsome, although this is a fact; it has encountered a good environment.
In 2002, the Federal Reserve's large water discharge, the federal fund interest rates were as low as 1%or even lower.
At this time, banks around the world begged your loan.
The interest is pressed again.
It was different in 2005. In order to suppress the increasingly crazy real estate market, the Fed continued to increase the interest rate of federal funds.
In just one year, I raised interest rates five times, and raised less than 2%of the interest rates to 5.56%.
Such a violent interest rate hike has soared the financing costs of the world.
In 2003, the Graize family, which was acquired by Manchester United, got up early and rushed to the evening collection.
The most important point is.
Although Xu Liang also exhausted Manchester United's debt in order to increase the utilization rate of funds, he was not without money.
The Graize family is really no money.
Financial institutions are a group of vampires, of course, they have to fall down.
In addition to lower interest, Xu Liang also brought Manchester United to 2 billion pounds of US CDS bonds.
With the deepening of the U.S. debt crisis, this part of the funds have reached nearly 1.8 billion pounds.
It is enough to completely cover all the debts of Manchester United.
"Does the bond issued by the group now fall?" Xu Liang asked.
At the beginning, in order to build a new stadium, Xu Liang issued a guarantee of £ 1.5 billion in 3A bonds with Hongmon to guarantee Manchester United.
"Since the emergence of U.S. debt crisis at the beginning of this year, it has fallen, and now it has fallen 11.3%, but it has not fallen below the face value."
"You don't need to do more about this 1.5 billion pounds, I will deal with it."
After these bonds fall to the bottom of the valley in the future, you can buy it with 80%of the original face value, or even lower prices.
At that time, not only does not need to pay interest, it can also make hundreds of millions of pounds.
"Okay."
After chatting, Xu Liang put down the information.
"Go, go out with me."
David Gill quickly stood up.
Come outside and watch the crowded office crowd in each room.
"Although Carlidon is big, it is more of the team's training base. The group office is still too reluctant. Hold up to find a suitable place and move all the institutions other than the club."
"I originally thought so, but the group now needs to be delayed when it needs funds. And the rent of Manchester's writing building is very high."
"Is the rent still high now?" Xu Liang laughed.
"It's much better."
The bond crisis has affected the British property market.
"Hurry to find a place, and you don't need to rent too long. When the new stadium is built, everything is much better."
Manchester United's new stadium is not just a stadium.
The entire project covers an area of about 39.4 acres (176.4 acres), which is about 118,000 square meters.
Such a huge land is enough to build an oversized urban complex in China.
The project format here is also very rich.
First of all, the most important thing is of course the stadium.
Manchester United's plan is to build a 250 bathroom, 380 boxes, 36 elevators, and 20 escalators, including player lounges and honorary rooms. A total of 12,000 parking spaces.
It is also full of five -star super luxury stadiums full of 90,000 seats.
It's just that this new "Old Trafford Stadium" is nearly 700 million pounds.
Directly benchmark the big "Wimbledi Stadium".
In addition to the stadium, it also contains a super -large four -star Manchester United fan hotel.
A total of 3981 rooms and suite.
Provide various restaurants including Western, Chinese and French food, and provide spa, fitness and entertainment facilities.
A large indoor shopping mall with more than 90,000 square meters.
Can receive 8,000 tourists at the same time.
The total budget of hotels and malls is 400 million pounds.
In the middle of the hotel and the stadium, a sports park covers an area of 4.9 acres and an intersection of a railway station.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
The Railway is connected to the city center of Manchester Picati Station to facilitate tourists and fans.
After the construction of the new stadium is completed, the old stadium will be transformed into a hardcover apartment with 3,000 houses and a luxury office building with 3,000 houses.
Therefore, Manchester United's stadium is not just a stadium, but a huge super project.
It is also one of the largest construction projects in the UK.
After turning around in each room.
"What about Feifei?"
Li Jinling quickly said: "The wife took the child to the court to play."
"Which court?"
"No. 1 indoor training field."
Xu Liang nodded. Of course, he knew where the No. 1 indoor training field was.
When he came, he quickly noticed the noise in the training ground.
The big -name stars who are usually on the court are accompanied by three small radish heads to play football on the soft lawn.
Before Xu Liang's expectations, the two little princesses seemed to be better at playing this round guy than their brothers.
He hoped and smiled, and was so happy.
On the contrary, although the son was also playing, from the grass color stained on his body, he obviously fell many times.
Mo Hongzhuang stood aside and looked at three little guys to play.
There was the old man beside him with a smile on his face.
Obviously, in the eyes of outsiders, he did not rub the sand under his eyes, and his personality was strong. He said in Manchester United, and he still cleared his own position.
Understand the pillow wind is uncomfortable.
The players under their own men wast the children who played with the boss and played wisely.
Hearing the footsteps behind me.
The two turned around at the same time.
"Dear."
Mo Hong's makeup welcomed it quickly and hugged his arm.
After shooting her jade hand with a smile, Xu Liang took a few steps.
"Alex."
The old man quickly held his right hand that he took the initiative to reach out.
"BOSS, I thought you won't come here."
"Haha, no matter what time, the club is our core business. Even if other departments do not go, I will come here to see it."
After talking about two sentences, Xu Liang looked at the players wearing training clothes on the field.
"How is it, can I win the Champions League this year?"
"Although I am very confident in them, the football is round, and any situation may happen."
Xu Liang slightly shot.
He is not the Graed family, and he has always been generous in Manchester United's transfer.
In 2005, it was a sensation in the global football industry for Manchester United.
Manchester United's lineup is really not bad at all.
Guard: Evra (left), Vidic and Ferdinand (middle), Gary Neville (right).
There are all thousands of money such as Brown, Osen, Silvist, and Gibson.
The midfielder is Kaka, Modric, Scarce and Karik.
The bench is Giggs, Garez Bell, Park Jixing and so on.
Manchester United's midfielder is very powerful now.
Modric and Kaka, one and two engines, directly made Manchester United's organization reach the top world.
Carrid and Moderic partnered back to the back, so that Manchester United's organizational ability is even higher.
If there is any disadvantage, the hardness is a bit worse.
Regardless of Karik or Modric, although the defense is not bad, it is not the kind of midfield gate.
Fortunately, there are Vidic and Ferdinand, the bottom of the world -class central defender, Manchester United's defense has always been strong.
Coupled with the goalkeeper Caxid.
Last season, Manchester United lost only 12 goals in 38 leagues.
The striker is Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronny's center, C Luo Yingfeng.
Many times, the Lord will also let him and Garez Bell fight left and right.
Two people plus Rooney, more and more effects of tridentcar in the frontcourt.
The striker was also sitting on Saha and Saulskia on the stand -up table, which was not bad.
This result also directly led to a huge change in Manchester United's guidance and history.
Anderson and Hagrifs, who should have joined this season, are missing.
Manchester United's midfielder is not short of people at all.
Modric, Kaka, and Karik are in their twenties, just in the year of playing.
The only older Scott, and Garez Bell, who has quickly risen, can replace his position.
Therefore, there is no need to spend a lot of money to introduce the main midfielder.
High -quality substitutes are needed by Manchester United, so Nani is here.
Coupled with the veterans, including Scarls, Giggs, Fleche, Park Zhixing.
It's enough.
In terms of striker, the "Carlos Tivis", which should have formed a trident with Rooney and Ronaldo.
Manchester United's third -tier operation also needs a powerful forward.
Saha is still a little worse, and Saulsk Asians are old.
"Alex, Garry should be 33 years old?"
The old man instantly understood what he meant, nodded slightly.
"There are four months old and 33 years old. But Gali is a strong guy. I believe he can also be competent to Manchester United's right."
"I also trust him. But no one can predict such things like injuries. Once the injury is injured, it only depends on Brown, but it can not support the right right."
The old man no longer wraps around.
"Do you have more suitable right candidates?"
Several players recommended by the big boss are very good, no, it should be said to be genius.
Modric has become Manchester United's Optimus giant pillar, and it is the kind of creativity he has always been most eager to take the ball and have extraordinary talent to organize talents.
Not to mention Garez Bell, the young version of Ryan Giggs.
