Chapter 187 Lin Quan's Investment

After defeating Finland, the Spanish national team flew out of Helsinki the next day.

Because there are only five teams in Group I, the Spanish national team had a bye after playing a World Cup qualifier.

So, they contacted another team that also had a bye and played a warm-up match.

On September 10, the Spanish national team arrived in Geneva to face the South American team Chile.

Because they qualified from the group stage early, Spain is now mainly focusing on training.

In this game, Bosque made major adjustments to the starting lineup, with several main players including Lin Quan sitting on the bench.

Chile has sent out all its main players, hoping to learn from the world champions.

During the game, Vargas, who won the Chilean Footballer of the Year and played for Valencia, took the lead in helping the team break through the Spanish goal.

Spain's starting goalkeeper today is Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdes. This ball cannot be blamed on Valdes. The opponent was too fast. After passing the defender, he suddenly kicked the ball, catching the goalkeeper off guard.

"This kid is good. His footwork and dribbling skills are amazing!"

On the bench, several Spanish main players' eyes lit up when they saw this goal.

There was something strangely familiar about the way the other team scored by dribbling past the defense.

The more I look at him, the more he looks like a guy from my team.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not as fast as him!"

Lin Quan saw that his teammates were all looking at him and couldn't help but said with a smile.

"If you had his speed, wouldn't you be invincible?"

Casillas tried to imagine himself facing the speed-enhanced version of Lin Quan in front of the goal, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Just thinking about it is terrifying! The other teammates nodded one after another. For a winger, the faster the speed, the greater the threat.

For teams that like to play with both wings, there are strict requirements for the speed of wingers, and slow players cannot play this game.

However, Lin Quan's dribbling skills are already good enough. It doesn't matter whether he has speed or not. He has a hundred ways to get past the opponent's defender anyway.

But if his speed can really be improved, then he will become even more terrifying on the current basis! ...

Spain, which was behind in the score, was not in a hurry. The young players on the field were still a little nervous, but with the comfort of the old players, their nervousness soon subsided.

In the 37th minute, Pedro made a wonderful pass and Soldado scored in one fell swoop to help the team equalize the score.

But Vargas was in very good form today. Seven minutes later, in almost the same position, he once again used his speed and breakthrough to break through the Spanish defense and rewrite the score.

2:1, Chile temporarily leads by one goal.

During the half-time break, all the young players who played in the first half were very nervous.

They seemed to be worried that the head coach would blame them for their poor performance.

Before this friendly match, Spain had maintained an unbeaten streak of 30 games in all competitions over the past two years.

If we only count the main matches, the last time they lost was in the first group match of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, when they lost to Switzerland.

That game is now more than three years old.

This shows the strong ruling power of the Spanish dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that, as a member of the Bull Fighting Corps, they do not want and dare not tarnish the honor of the team.

If the Bulls' unbeaten streak were to end because of their poor performance, they would surely be criticized by the fans and would feel guilty.

"Don't have too much psychological pressure. This is just a friendly match. You all played so tightly in the first half and didn't let go at all. If you keep going like this, the situation will only get worse!"

Bosque was obviously not satisfied with the players' performance in the first half. He knew that these players were not weak.

The reason why they failed to achieve results and were suppressed by their opponents was mainly because they were unable to relax their mentality.

An undefeated record is both an honor and a shackle.

Once put on this shackle, the players themselves can't help but want to defend it.

In this way, they will easily go on the court with a burden, and when they get on the court they will have too many concerns and cannot play freely, which will naturally make them easily fall into a passive position.

"The coach is right, this is just a friendly match, let's play with all our strength. If it doesn't work, just give our main players 30 minutes.

As long as we don’t fall behind by three goals, we can definitely equalize the score!”

Seeing that the players did not respond much to Bosque's speech, veteran players such as Xavi stood up and said with a smile.

Being the world's number one, you naturally have to have the confidence to be the world's number one.

The Spanish national team’s offensive firepower may not have been so exaggerated before, but now, after Lin Quan joined, the team’s offensive firepower has been upgraded in all aspects.

Therefore, they have every reason to say such things!

The young players were a little nervous at first, but when they heard the older brothers in the team say this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, with the old players backing them up, what's there to be afraid of? When the players thought of this, they completely let go of their psychological burden.

After the start of the second half, the performance of these young players was indeed much better than in the first half, and various Spanish-style cooperation was also played out one after another.

This made Bosque, who was originally worried, feel relieved.

An old man in the family is like a treasure. The atmosphere in the locker room still needs old players like Xavi and Casillas to take charge.

In the 65th minute of the second half, after twenty minutes of attack, Spain finally equalized the score.

The goal was scored by Isco.

After equalizing the score, the young players on the field hugged each other excitedly.

Without many main players, they relied on their own efforts to suppress the South American powerhouse and tenaciously equalized the score after falling behind twice.

This is really not easy! Bosque also felt that it was not easy for them, so he replaced 8 players in one go, replacing all the young players on the field.

The main players came on the court one by one and began to take over the game.

Although Bosque said that he didn't care about the undefeated myth, his body was very honest.

A complete substitution was made with less than 30 minutes left in the game. This attitude, to say that he didn't want to win the game, is simply an insult to other people's IQ.

When the Chilean coach saw Spain's substitution, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Although it is a friendly match, there is no limit on the number of substitutions.

But don't your players need to warm up? If you replace all of them at once, aren't you afraid that we will catch you off guard while your players are still unfamiliar with the rhythm of the game?

Spain is really not afraid! After these main players came on the court, they quickly took control of the game.

The Chilean team tried to launch a sneak attack, but ended up hitting a wall.

The Spanish team not only contained their attack, but also quickly pushed back.

The intensity of the game brought by the main team after they came on the field was completely different from the feeling when they faced a group of substitutes before.

The remaining twenty-five minutes of the second half almost turned into a half-court offense and defense drill for the Spaniards.

They attacked the Chilean team's goal for more than 20 minutes and finally won the game with a score of 4:2.

The substitutes off the court saw the main team pinning the opponents to the ground and beating them hard, scoring two goals in just over 20 minutes. They were all full of admiration.

The big brothers in the team were not bragging!

Even if they didn't equalize the score, they could still easily defeat their opponents after replacing the main team.

After the friendly match with Chile, Bosque announced the disbandment of the team.

The players went their separate ways and returned to their respective teams.

The next national team match will not be until a month later, but as the team has qualified from the group stage in advance, Bosque may not necessarily call up so many main players to Eastern Europe.

So, they may not see each other for several months or even half a year.

…

After returning to Manchester, Perret came to him.

"You mentioned investment before. I have done some research here. See if there are any projects that interest you."

As Pere spoke, he handed a list of investment projects he had compiled to Lin Quan.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Lin Quan took it and started browsing it curiously.

It can be seen that Pere put his heart into it.

The information he compiled was very comprehensive and detailed, covering many types of investments.

Including real estate, futures, stocks, etc.

“After the financial crisis in 2008, the real estate market in Europe hit rock bottom. In recent years, it has been in a recovery phase, and house prices have been rising across Europe.

Moreover, the Middle Eastern consortiums were generous in purchasing large amounts of land in Europe, further driving up real estate prices.

I have calculated that based on the investment returns over the past five years, the investment rate for real estate can reach about 10%, which is a very good return! "

Lin Quan recalled what happened when he bought a house in Munich. According to the Germans, Middle Eastern consortiums did cooperate with them frequently.

The oil tycoons took advantage of the high oil prices in recent years to make a lot of US dollars. They had so much money that they had no place to spend it, so they bought up real estate at bargain prices all over the world.

However, Lin Quan knows that with the outbreak of the eastern Ukraine issue next year, Europe's economy will be in a slump.

By then, this wave of investment enthusiasm will quickly fade away. If you enter the market now, you are likely to become the one who takes over at a high price.

So he rejected the project.

"As for real estate, the risk is too high. Our capital is small, so we shouldn't get involved!"

One hundred million pounds may seem like a lot, but it is actually not enough considering the high housing prices.

After hearing Lin Quan's words, Pere roughly understood the other party's concerns.

He is a conservative investor who is risk-averse and prefers investment products with low risks.

So, he said, "The wineries over in France are pretty good. The international market demand for wine is growing, the market prospects are very good, and the purchase price is not high. Would you like to consider it?"

Many Spanish internationals are investing in wineries.

"I can invest some money. How much does a medium-sized winery cost?"

"Maybe a few million euros?"

"Okay, help me submit one, I want one with a vineyard!"

Making money is secondary, and owning a winery of his own is his main goal.

"What are you going to invest the remaining money in?"

This has only dealt with one percent of the assets, and more than half has not been spent.

“Please help me split the remaining money into two parts, and use half to buy the company’s stock.

The other half, I plan to handle on my own.”

There were some things that Lin Quan didn't plan to tell Perez, not because he was on guard against him, but mainly because he was afraid of trouble.

Letting Pere know is equivalent to letting Guardiola know.

Guardiola is a rather long-winded guy, and Lin Quan doesn't like to hear him turn on the hair dryer.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away!"

Pere glanced at the name of the company that Lin Quan wanted to invest in and nodded slightly.

This is an American Internet company, and investing in Internet companies is a trend in this era.

Although he doesn't know much about the Internet, this type of investment is considered a high-quality investment in Europe, and the US stock market has been rising in recent years.

As long as the company doesn't die suddenly, such an investment will basically not result in loss.

Thinking of this, Pere couldn't help but feel a little moved.

He planned to study the company carefully after returning to see what the prospects of the company were.

If the market gives a high evaluation and the prospects are good, he also plans to invest some money in it together with Lin Quan.

…

After Perret left, Lin Quan turned on his computer and searched the Internet for the latest price of Bitcoin.

The current price of Bitcoin is $112 per coin. If this price is placed in ten years, it will be a bargain.

But at this time, the price is very high, 12 times more expensive than last year.

Many experts claim that Bitcoin prices are inflated, trading volumes are extremely low, and that it is a scam.

I did a quick search and found that all major media outlets online generally have a negative attitude towards this thing, and I hardly see anyone saying anything good about it.

This is understandable. Lin Quan himself also feels that this thing is unreliable.

However, the time traveler's memory told him that in 2013, there was no higher return than investing.

Although its price has increased more than ten times in the past year, it seems to be very inflated.

However, this is not the end of the Bitcoin craze.

This virtual currency will skyrocket hundreds of times in a few years. If he buys it at the current price and sells it in 2017, he can get nearly 200 times the profit.

If you are a little greedier and wait until the high point of 2021-2022 to sell it, you can even get a profit of five or six hundred times.

Of course, his attitude is the same as that of the mainstream crowd, and he also thinks that this thing is suspected of being a game of passing the parcel.

So I don’t plan to hold it for a long time, I just want to make a quick buck and run.

However, the memories brought by the time travelers may not be reliable. Considering the existence of the butterfly effect, Lin Quan is not sure whether Bitcoin in this time and space is as crazy as in the original plane.

Therefore, he only dared to invest half of the funds in this project, and used the rest of the funds to make some more stable investments.

At this time, the stocks of some Internet companies are still relatively low. If you hold them for seven or eight years and then sell them when the price has increased tenfold, you can still make considerable profits.
