I'm not very good with numbers.
Is 17 trillion more than Bee's Instagram followers?

imagine having a boss whose name is only 2 letters?
i mean.... so powerful.
and 17 trillion under his command. just.... fuck.
This hype though... I don't know if I can handle it if nothing happens this summer..
A Chinese newspaper published that Xi Jinping (head of Communist State) will offer 1.2 billion for 100% of Milan. See if that happens.
I know right?
Meanwhile, look at Xi in action:
I think the desire for China to acquire a team is similar to the benefit Mercedes has received as a result of its re-entrance into F1.
It was considered a pretty big failure at the start, especially with Michael Schumacher not racing to his previous levels.
I remember reading that Mercedes investment was like 100 million, but they generate like 300 million worth of advertising by being in F1. So even if they lose money, they're making it through advertisement. Plus, their Mercedes team value has jumped up, I mean, buy low and sell high, isn't that the idea?
That's why the Qataris bought PSG, it was a team in a great city, but was not valued very highly. Neither was Man City, it was the distant second team to Man Utd.
Milan being on sale is a huge opportunity, especially when you compare the history of other teams. I mean, look at the impact history+marketing to USA has done to Liverpool. They have been terrible for years, but they still get so much money (thanks to being in the EPL, too, of course) but it's really about history and can you build a fanbase.
Milan is a massive product that can truly grow, and this is like buying a great house, in a great market, after a real estate crash. Other markets might be down 50%, and this market you're looking at is only down 20%, but you'll make up that 20% really fast, but you won't on the 50% market.
China wants to take over everything, and soccer is clearly one of their objectives, and I just don't see how Milan isn't a great product.
Also, two things:
1) the target demographic for fans are those in their late 30's, early 40's. They have the most money and bring in the most money. People that age will not have suddenly forgotten about Milan after two bad years.
2) Kids who hate on Milan didn't know that Man City existed, then they bought some new players and all of a sudden they will fight you about how great Man City is not knowing who was on the team last year. Milan can attract those fans easily.
In short, I think Milan is a great investment, I mean, if you just put in some money and coaching you can increase your revenue dramatically by qualifying for the CL. Like, the room for growth is massive.
