A few days later.
Bell greers, a well-known explorer of the future, signed the contract of "single person crossing the Atlantic" with golden dawn entertainment group and causal ITV broadcasting company today.
At the signing ceremony, dozens of media reporters were also quite shocked.
Crossing the Atlantic alone?
"True or false?"
"God, it's impossible!"
"It's hard to say that a single person, kayak, carrying only a small amount of food and water, has to sail more than 10000 miles in the Atlantic Ocean, and the severe weather conditions such as storms along the way are enough to make any warrior collapse."
"The most important thing is, this guy named bell will be at sea for more than three months!"
"My God, this is a challenge to the limit of human beings!"
"Not only that!"
"Although bell greers used to be an excellent special forces soldier, he didn't lack courage, but if he wanted to cross the Atlantic Ocean, he absolutely needed a huge amount of knowledge about climatology, oceanography, physiology and medicine, otherwise, he was just looking for death!"
Dozens of media reporters at the scene were shocked.
Crossing the Atlantic Ocean alone is an extremely difficult, even impossible challenge!
"Why?"
"Be quiet! Who do you think is coming? "
At this time, the reporter crowd suddenly someone yelled.
"It's Zucker, it's Mr. Zucker Wald!"
That's right. Zucker was at the signing.
Not only that, but there are also two local heavyweights in the UK.
Greg Clark!
He is the chief executive of the FA. He has a great reputation in the local football circle of the UK, but also in the football field of Europe. In 2016, he will be promoted to the head of the FA;
"Why did you ask me to come?"
Greg Clark said with a smile: "as we all know, football is a team sport, which is based on the collective victory. However, there is no lack of heroes on the football field who fight alone and turn the tide."
"Mr. bell greers, he's going to cross the Atlantic alone, challenging a project that's almost impossible, and that's a shock to us."
"Therefore, I come here to speak for the FA and 217 professional football teams in England and tell bell that God is with you
Voice down, suddenly remembered the scene of warm applause.
Many people can't help nodding.
But... It's all bullshit!
If juck is not the owner of Manchester City, if Manchester City did not come back to the Premier League with the first place in the League one in the past 99-00 season, Greg Clark would not come to the platform and endorse.
(Note: the English champions league was established in 2004, and the League A was the second level league in 2000.)
Speaking of Manchester City Club's investment, there is no doubt that Zucker has made a profit again.
In 1998, Zucker succeeded in taking over Manchester City, which was then in League B, with a price of 52 million pounds;
In the 1998-1999 season, with the full support of Zucker and under the guidance of future "famous coach" muninio, Manchester City were successfully brought back to the League one;
In the past 1999-2000 season, Manchester City have been relegated to the Premier League.
The market value soars!
In just over two years, the city club, which started with 52 million pounds by zhucker, is now worth more than 80 million pounds.
And there's good news.
Sky sports is negotiating with the Premier League. In the near future, there is a great possibility that it will greatly increase the cost of live broadcasting. If the negotiation goes well, the market value of Manchester City will definitely rise again after the start of the new season!
Of course, even if the market value of Manchester City Club is several times more, it is still a tiny presence in the various industries of Zhuke.
However, there is one undeniable point.
The main purpose of juke's acquisition of Manchester City Club is not how much it is worth, but how much fame the club can bring to juke, and how much popularity and influence the famous brand can refresh other industries of juke.
Another man, also on the stage!
ââMichael Pratt!
He is the director of the Royal National Lifeboat Association (charity) and chairman of Languan capital, one of the UK's leading hedge funds.
Languan capital is a famous hedge fund in the UK and the third largest hedge fund in Europe.
Hang Seng Bank, Citibank, Morgan bank and other big banks all hope to cooperate with them. Under Pratt's leadership, Languan capital has achieved remarkable results. The annual transaction commissions and other service fees paid to banks alone amount to tens of millions of dollars.
"The purpose of my coming here is very simple. Mr. Zucker Wald and I are very close friends. We have a common topic in the field of financial investment."
"Mr. bell greers, crossing the Atlantic alone is definitely a risky challenge!"
"What about venture capital?"
"It's also full of treachery, which coincides with Bell's spirit of adventure, so I'm here, and I'm glad to come!"
Michael Platt yelled in front of the camera.
The next time, the media reporters on the scene, and focus on the body of Zhuke.
After all, Zucker is not only a world-famous super rich and film company owner, but also one of the sponsors of the "solo Atlantic crossing", which naturally attracts much attention.
Standing on the rostrum, facing a group of media reporters, Zhuke began to speak.
"Adventure?"
"No, I want to say it's an adventure! A challenge to the limits of human exploration
"We have conquered the earth!"
"We have conquered the sky!"
"The ocean, we have conquered it, too!"
"However, in the process of conquest, we rely on wisdom, technology and courage, among which technology occupies the most important position!"
"Then, can we conquer the ocean only by wisdom and courage?"
"So the challenge of crossing the Atlantic single handed was born!"
"One person, one canoe, with only a small amount of food and drinking water, I think, can still complete this challenge. Bell is the most suitable and courageous challenger!"
........
The press conference is over.
However, the challenge of crossing the Atlantic alone was not immediately implemented.
Bell needs to be ready!
Bell has been involved in oceanography, climatology, biology and other aspects of knowledge, but he does not need to improve again. After all, this challenge is too difficult.
If you start your action rashly, it will only end in failure.
In the original time and space, it took bell three years to prepare for the challenge of crossing the Atlantic by himself. Although the main reason is Bell's economic reasons, it is also a part of his supplementary knowledge and preparation.
"Seven months!"
"I need at least seven months to prepare, and now it's August. In October and November, the Atlantic Ocean is affected by ocean currents and seasons, and the climate will become very cold and more difficult," Bell said. So, if you want to complete this challenge, you have to wait until next spring. "
Smell speech, Zhu Ke agreed.
The decision was also endorsed by the shooting team jointly established by Kim Shuguang and ITV.
"This is my new plan after I started the film overseas strategy, and I started the TV overseas strategy!" Zucker clenched his fist.
"The first watch" is presented.
