Chapter 842： New cooperation

Berlin, Germany, after visiting Tony Koch's luxurious apartment in the city, Ronan followed him to the study, and a blond woman with long legs brought two cups of black tea.

"Thank you." Ronan thanked politely.

Tony Koch introduced: "Diane, you are also working hard in Hollywood, shouldn't this be a stranger?"

Diane Kruger greeted Ronan: "Hello, Mr. Anderson."

Ronan smiled and nodded in greeting: "You are welcome, call me Ronan. I have been friends with Tony for many years."

"Okay." Diane Kruger winked and took the initiative to leave: "You guys talk, I'm going to prepare lunch."

Watching Diane Kruger go out and close the door, Ronan asked, "Tony, are you serious this time?"

Tony Koch said: "I am not young anymore, and I have enough to play. It's time to consider stabilizing."

Ronan wondered: "I remember Diane Kruger seems to be married?"

"You can get a divorce if you get married." Tony Koch said confidently: "You are too underestimated my charm."

He turned to ask: "Ronan, when do you plan to stabilize?"

Ronan said casually, "Don't worry."

Tony Koch deliberately said: "Your billions of fortunes will always be inherited in the future. Is it possible that you want to donate to charity? I can't do this kind of thing."

"I'm less than thirty years old." Ronan was very calm: "What anxious."

Tony Koch said enviously: "Yes, you are younger than me, but you have a lot more wealth than me. With your financial resources, even if you become a bad old man, you can find a good enough woman. No matter how bad, It can also be a surrogate, and avoid various disputes in divorce.

Ronan couldn't help shaking his head: "You think too much."

"Don't think about it." Tony Koch seemed to feel deeply moved: "We are not kids anymore. Of course we must consider the issues comprehensively. For example, Diane and I have recently had a prenuptial agreement and we were a little unhappy."

Ronan shrugged: "This kind of thing can only be solved by yourself."

Tony Koch said: "Who can say no? I like Diane very much, but the prenuptial agreement must be signed. In fact, this is good for both parties..."

Ronan didn't want to continue this topic, and asked, "Where is your mother?"

"Travel around the world." Tony Koch said: "She sold the meat company, and now she is all relaxed, saying she wants to look around, go around, and experience a different life."

Ronan said: "This is to enjoy life." He turned to the topic: "You call to say that the relevant German policies may change?"

"It is possible." Tony Koch said: "Several parliamentarians jointly proposed that the current tax rebate policy is of limited help to the German film industry. Instead, many foreign films have escaped taxation and demanded that this policy be scrapped."

Ronan asked, "Can they succeed?"

Tony Koch told the truth: “It’s hard to say that there is a woman who is very likely to win the November election. If she also pushes, she is likely to be passed by the Bundestag, but her attitude is currently unknown.”

This is Germany after all, Ronan said: "I can't help you in this regard, I can only look at you."

If the related film tax rebate policy is abolished, most of the film companies in Germany will have their incomes sharply reduced, and some companies may even go bankrupt.

For example, Koch Pictures.

It rarely participates in specific film productions, and most of its income comes from the cooperation with Relativity Entertainment on the tax rebate policy.

"We will not sit back and watch this happen." Tony Koch said: "Including Constantine Pictures, German film companies have joined forces to deal with this crisis."

Ronan nodded slowly: "I hope there is an ideal result."

In the past, Germany did not want to suspend the preferential tax rebate policy for the film industry once or twice, but it did not even suspend it until Ronan's last year.

Among them, the German film companies must have played a big role.

After all, this is one of the largest capital that German film companies can attract investment.

Tony Koch said: "Just in case, besides the film industry, I am going to enter other industries." He smiled and said to Ronan: "This is the invitation to you, and I want to hear your opinion."

Ronan asked, "Do you have specific goals?"

Tony Koch did not answer directly. Instead, he said: “I watched Manchester United’s game against Chelsea two days ago. It was very exciting. Ronan, after I heard that you won both the Premier League and the Champions League last season, you The investment in the acquisition of Manchester United has achieved a nearly 30% increase in assets?"

Ronan roughly understood Tony Koch's choice and said seriously: "Manchester United's asset appreciation is not only due to the club's championship, but also related to the environment of the Premier League. The entire Premier League is appreciating."

Tony Koch said: "Football is also a good business."

Ronan asked: "Are you going to buy a football club?"

"Yes, there is already a goal." Tony Koch said: "Hertha Berlin has not performed well in the past two years, and the club's operations are not very good. I am going to acquire Hertha Berlin as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

With Tony Koch's financial resources, it is not difficult to acquire a mid-range Bundesliga club.

The same mid-level team, the Premier League may not be able to pass the Bundesliga on the court, but the commercial value can smash the Bundesliga club N streets.

Ronan reminded: "Tony, Hertha Berlin is very difficult to follow Manchester United's operating route. Before I acquired Manchester United, Manchester United had a strong foundation, so it only needs proper reinforcement to return to the top, but Hertha Berlin... …"

Tony Koch smiled and said: "I know that Hertha Berlin is definitely different from your Manchester United, and will not take the route of hitting the championship. How much money does it need to invest to challenge Bayern Munich's position in the Bundesliga?"

"That's true." Ronan replied.

Over the years, despite occasional challengers, Bayern Munich has basically ensured the status of Bundesliga hegemony.

Many people are saying that Bayern Munich also ranks first in Europe because it drained the entire Bundesliga.

The Bayern brand excavator, that is as famous as Lan Xiang.

Tony Koch said: "My plan is to bring in new players from Eastern Europe and sell them after they are kicked out. Many players in Eastern Europe can be said to be of high quality and low price. It is possible to spend 5 million US dollars there. The dug is a good young man. As long as one of them is kicked out, the club can recover the cost."

Ronan understood: "You are planning to open a black shop."

"Huh?" Tony Koch was taken aback for a moment, then understood Ronan's meaning, and said: "It's almost like Porto."

Ronan said directly: "You have to find a way to prevent the excavator in the south." He also reminded: "While digging players for leveling, you must ensure that the team stays in the Bundesliga, otherwise the attraction will be greatly reduced."

"This is also one of the reasons why I am looking for you." Tony Koch is not polite with Ronan: "After I buy Hertha Berlin, can Manchester United and Hertha Berlin reach a cooperation and make Hertha Berlin a Manchester United lease? A base for players? In this way, Manchester United players can be trained and Hertha Berlin can borrow some Manchester United players to ensure that they stay in the Bundesliga."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "This is okay, but after you take Hertha Berlin, we will talk about it."

Although Ferguson does have a hand in cultivating young players, it is impossible for Manchester United's first team to leave young players many opportunities.

Having said that, the first-tier teams of giant clubs have never been a place to train young players.

Therefore, the talented players in the Manchester United team will rent out to exercise in order to ensure growth and play.

People in Class 92 have also had rental experience.

Antwerp in Belgium was previously the main lease of Manchester United's young players, but the cooperation agreement between the two parties will soon expire.

Hertha Berlin is also a good choice. According to Ferguson, there are many talented young men in Manchester United's second-tier team.

But they want to appear on the first team, it is too difficult.

"However, I also have a little request." Ronan will not be merciful when discussing business: "If all of what has just been said can be achieved, in the future Hertha Berlin will have Manchester United players who will be sold to Manchester United first."

Tony Koch said: "No problem."

He has done a lot of preparatory work, such as establishing contacts with brokerage companies and related training institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, Czech Republic, Croatia and Serbia to find young players.

Eastern Europe, including Southern Europe, has been in poor economic conditions, and it often takes very little money to bring young players to Germany.

Many young people from Eastern Europe also look forward to playing in Germany, where conditions are better.

Moreover, if Hertha Berlin and Manchester United reach a strategic cooperation, some precautions can be taken against southern excavators.

Can't all the young players kicked out of the Bundesliga be sold to the South King?

Even in many cases, the King of Nanda will not even pay the transfer fee, allowing the players to finish the contract and transfer to Munich for free.

"Can you get Hertha Berlin?" Ronan asked concerned.

"The problem is not big." Tony Koch said: "After all, it is a question of money. These are not a problem to meIn recent years, through cooperation with Relativity Entertainment, and cooperation Tony Koch is also a veritable billionaire.

The two talked about football and movies, and after more than half an hour, there was a knock on the door.

Diane Kruger said, "Lunch is ready. Tony, Ronan, shall we go to the restaurant?"

Tony Koch said, "Here is here." He gestured for invitation: "Ronan, go try Diane's cooking.

Ronan followed Tony Koch, left the study, and walked into the dining room.

A meal and lunch, the host and the guest enjoyed themselves.

Ronan left the call from Manchester United chief executive David Gill to Tony Koch. Before returning to Los Angeles, Ronan personally spoke with David Gill to talk about the situation here.

The specific cooperation has to wait for Tony Koch to reach the acquisition intention.
