Chapter 448 What's the matter with your age!
The speed of commercial promotion of the Nou Camp stadium made Ferguson feel that the club he was in charge of was falling behind in the "scoreboard". The last time he visited the Nou Camp carefully was in 1994.

In his impression, this stadium is no different from the agricultural market, big and messy, but he did not expect it to become so exquisite after a few years, so it seems that it is much easier for South American players to regard this place as a palace for their careers.

Seeing that Musk was always pestering Beckham, Murdoch Jr. could only interrupt their conversation with apology, and then took Beckham to a living room.

"David, we roughly predicted your income and investment situation, and then came to an astonishing conclusion. You have 3000 million pounds lying in your account. Are you saving for your own retirement?"

The old Murdoch signaled Beckham to sit down, and then picked up a cigar. The complicated and skillful movements made it clear that this thing is not cheap.

Beckham could only smile in embarrassment. His financial situation has been seen by others so quickly?
He is currently endorsing Coca-Cola, and has also signed a contract similar to an image endorsement with Murdoch's group. The annual endorsement fee of the two contracts is 1000 million pounds, plus the salary provided by the team and the remuneration for guest movies, and he can earn about 2700 million pounds a year.

If the old Murdoch hadn't let him cancel the endorsement of a suit and rejected many endorsement intentions, Beckham's income this year would probably explode, which means that his actual income is likely to rank among the top five in the annual income ranking of world athletes.

Last year coincided with the World Cup year. Beckham put almost all his energy into training and competitions, and did not try to make a movie again. Therefore, his income is basically based on salary and endorsements, totaling nearly 2000 million pounds.

If calculated according to this figure, Beckham probably ranked 2651th in the annual income ranking of world athletes in 1998 with an income of 8 million US dollars, only a slight difference from the giant Shaquille O'Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Last year ranked first was Joe Gangzhu, whose annual income was 4418 US dollars, Schumacher ranked second with 4741 million US dollars, and Tiger Woods, a golf player born in the same year as Beckham, ranked third with 4409 million US dollars.

As the highest-paid athlete in his age group, Woods was ranked No. 21 in the world at the age of [-]. No one can shake his ranking, which completely subverted this "white aristocratic sport" all of a sudden, which made those red necks very angry.

But there is no way, no one can beat him. Many senior golfers believe that his hands are a gift from God. He has played superbly in technical aspects such as long shots and putting. Some people predict that he will occupy the number one in the world for many years.

Beckham has read the information on Tiger Woods. Unlike his own background, this guy’s reincarnation level is very good. He was born in a black family with good conditions. If ordinary Ngers dare to appear on the golf course, the police will raise their guns without even thinking about it, and then let them crawl on the ground.

If that unlucky ghost subconsciously puts his hand in his pocket, sorry, see you in the next life.

The correct process is to raise your hands, crawl on the ground, and every next action must be performed with permission.

The golf courses are all in rich areas. In the eyes of Americans, Nger who appears there is likely to be a thief, and the way they are treated is also very rough.

But Woods is the darling of fate. Except for his black skin, everything in his life is white, and his family's words and deeds are all white people's style, and there is absolutely no hip-hop accent.

The similarity between the two is that they have a father who likes sports. Old Ted is only good at football, so Beckham can only choose football in his life.

Woods probably tried some sports, and then was discovered golf talent.

However, Beckham does not feel sympathy for Woods. In his eyes, Woods' story is not much different from Hai's Daughter.

In addition, several other athletes ranked in the top ten are boxers Tyson, De La Hoya, Holyfield, Lewis, NASCAR racing driver Dale Earnhardt and NBA star Grant Hill.

Judging from the income rankings, boxing and basketball are the high-income sports. Seven of the top 10 income rankings come from these two sports, 7 are racing drivers, and 2 is a golf player.

Most of the income of these people comes from their own salary income, and the proportion of endorsement income is not large.

Beckham's income ratio is just the opposite. Last year, his salary income was less than half of his total income, which is definitely an outlier among athletes.

The Forbes list estimates that his income is less than US$1200 million, and he ranks outside the 70th place, which seems to be due to the multi-year settlement of endorsement income and the termination of some endorsement contracts.

But according to the old Murdoch's prediction, Beckham's income in 1999 will reach at least 4000 million US dollars.

According to last year's income ranking, Beckham's income will reach No. 4 in the world athlete ranking.

Joe's boss has announced his retirement after leading the Bulls to three consecutive championships for the second time this season, and his income is bound to be discounted, so Beckham's annual income will hopefully rank among the top three in the world.

"David, at that point, the whole world will be watching your every move. You can imagine how people will react when they find out you have £3000 million lying in your account."

Not smart, not wise, not planning.

These three words popped up in Beckham's mind instantly. This type of vocabulary is bound to affect his public image. At that time, I am afraid that all major brands will have to weigh carefully when looking for him to endorse.

Hmm. It seems that we have to build it when it is time to do it. Go back and confirm with Old John whether Musk is reliable, and then ask him if he can do it in the MLS.

In addition, we need to see if there are any emerging Internet companies. Even if they can't keep up with the pre-IPO financing, it is good to buy some stocks.

Moreover, the real estate leasing business in the East End of London seems to only make a profit. It only takes about 6 years to recover the investment of a set of real estate through the leasing business, and then it will become a chicken that lays golden eggs.

British people have no obsession with buying a house. Most people choose to rent a house in a big city like London. This has not changed for hundreds of years. As long as their offspring don’t make money, even if they lie flat for three consecutive generations, they can still remain in the middle class.

Thinking of this, Beckham was in a good mood, and he briefly chatted with Murdoch about his plan.

The old Murdoch listened carefully, and then paused before saying: "The Internet industry has passed the initial stage, if you got involved in this industry three years ago, you may make money even if you invest in a company with your eyes closed.

But it’s different now, the ghosts and ghosts all want to grab the dividends of the Internet, it’s hard to tell the truth from the fake.

Why do I think your investment idea is like a hip-hop singer Well, it's better than doing nothing!
How about investing in football clubs in the United States? If the conditions are not particularly good, it is recommended not to throw money into the pit.

David, if you want to become the chairman of the Manchester United team, this rate of making money is not enough.

Although my acquisition was stopped by the British government two years ago, sooner or later the door of English football will be opened to investors. What you have to do now is a race against time, and every day is precious. "

After chatting for a few more words, the little Murdoch brought the topic back to "X-Men", and promised that the crew would take care of Beckham's time and try to end his role as early as possible.

After being brainwashed by the old Murdoch just now, Beckham agreed without thinking too much. US$500 million is really a lot, and it is after-tax income. It is best not to miss such a good thing.

When Beckham let go, the old Murdoch was relieved. Before he left, he did not forget to warn Beckham: "You have entered the golden period of your career, don't always waste your vacation on the beach, so be it, I wish you success!"

Back in the banquet hall, Beckham was already hungry, but just about to eat something, he met Anschutz again.

The other party came specifically to find the heartthrob, so he could only bring Lloyd into the conference room again.

Beckham found that Lloyd who entered the conference room was like a husky sitting next to a lion, docile and docile from beginning to end, and the other party spoke to him with trepidation.

But I have to say that the 60-year-old Anschutz does have aura. This American old man with a family of 120 billion yuan is a low-key rich man, but it does not mean that he has no aura.

The other party didn't procrastinate, and just negotiated terms when they came up.

He asked Beckham to invest 1200 million yuan to obtain about 11% of a club's shares, and thus become a member of the club and be in charge of the team's daily affairs.

In return, the major leagues will invite Beckham as a spokesperson, and the one-year endorsement fee is 1500 million US dollars, so he can make a few million in small profits.

"David, I hope you will consider it carefully. Your interests will definitely not be lost. If you think about it, let Lloyd contact me."

Surrounded by assistants and bodyguards, the billionaire left the Camp Nou without chatting a few words, and it seemed that he had to go to catch up.

After two waves of business negotiations ended, Beckham returned to the banquet hall full of emotion: "I'm getting old, what are you trying to do, isn't more than 100 billion not enough to spend?"

The world of the rich is really confusing.

At this time Ferguson came over: "David, do you have any ideas about the celebration ceremony? Do you have any ideas about the band? I will implement this matter tomorrow morning!"

Seeing that the old man was so energetic, Beckham could only sigh with emotion again, these three old and strong guys really worked hard.
