Chapter 187 Lin Quan’s Investment

After defeating Finland, the Spanish national team left Helsinki on a plane the next day.

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

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

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

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

In this game, Del Bosque made a lot of adjustments to the starting lineup. Many main players, including Lin Quan, sat on the bench.

Chile is doing its best and wants to learn from the world champion.

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

Spain's starting goalkeeper today is Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdez. You can't blame Valdez for this goal. The opponent's speed was too fast. After passing the defender, he suddenly kicked off and caught the goalkeeper off guard.

"This kid can do it, his footwork is amazing!"

On the bench, when Spain's main players saw this goal, their eyes lit up.

There is something inexplicably familiar about the way the opponent scores.

The more he looks, the more he looks like a guy from his own team.

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

Lin Quan saw his teammates looking at him and couldn't help but smile.

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

Casillas tried to imagine in his mind that he was 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 scary!

Other teammates nodded. For wingers, the faster the speed, the greater the threat.

For a team that likes to play on both wings, there are strict requirements for the speed of the winger. Slow players cannot do this.

But Lin Quan's dribbling is already good enough. It doesn't matter if 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 existing basis!

…

Spain, which was lagging behind, did not worry. The young players on the field were still a little nervous, but with the comfort of the senior players, their nerves quickly calmed down.

In the 37th minute, Pedro sent a wonderful pass, and Soldado made it in one stroke, helping the team equalize the score.

But Vargas was in very good shape today. Seven minutes later, at almost the same position, he once again used his speed and breakthrough to penetrate Spain's defense and rewrite the score again.

2:1, Chile temporarily leads by one goal.

At halftime, all the young players who played in the first half were very nervous.

There seems to be a fear that the manager will blame them for their poor performance.

Before this friendly match, Spain had continued its 30-game unbeaten streak in all competitions in the past two years.

If we only count the main match, the last time we lost was the loss to Switzerland in the first game of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

That game has been going on for over three years now.

The dominance of the Spanish dynasty is evident.

Because of this, as members of the Bull Legion, they do not want or dare to tarnish the team's honor.

If the Bulldogs' unbeaten run is ended due to their poor performance, they will definitely be criticized by the fans and their own conscience will be troubled.

"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 this continues, it will only get worse!"

Del Bosque was obviously not satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half. He knew that the strength of this group of players was not weak.

The reason why the kick was not effective and was suppressed by the opponent was mainly because they could not relax their mentality.

An undefeated record is both an honor and a shackles.

Putting on this yoke, the players themselves can't help but want to defend it.

In this way, it is easy for them to go on the court with baggage. When they get to the court, they have too many worries and cannot play freely, and naturally they easily fall into passivity.

"The coach is right. This is just a friendly match. Let's play freely. If it doesn't work, just give our main players thirty minutes.

As long as we don't fall behind by three goals, we are sure to equalize the score! "

Seeing that the players did not respond much to Bosque's lecture, Xavi and other senior players stood up and said with a smile.

As the number one in the world, one must naturally have the confidence to be number one in the world.

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 are completely confident to say such things!

The young players were still a little worried, but when they heard the big brother of the team say this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, there are veteran team members who know everything, so what are you afraid of?

As soon as they thought of this, the players' psychological burden was completely relieved.

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 coordination was also played one after another.

This relieved Bosque, who was still worried.

Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. The atmosphere in the locker room still needs to have old players like Xavi and Casillas sitting in the room.

In the 65th minute of the second half, after 20 minutes of offense, Spain finally equalized the score.

It was Isco who scored the goal.

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

In the absence of many main players, they relied on their own efforts to suppress the strong South American teams and tenaciously equalized the score after falling behind twice.

This is really not easy!

Bosque also felt that it was too difficult for them, so he replaced 8 players in one go, replacing all the young players on the field.

The main players came on stage one after another and began to take over the game.

Although Bosque said he didn't care about the myth of being invincible, his body was very sincere.

With less than 30 minutes left in the game, a full substitution was made. With this attitude, if he said he didn't want to win the game, it would be an insult to other people's intelligence.

The Chilean coach's mouth twitched slightly after seeing Spain's substitution.

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

But don’t your players need to warm up?

We all substituted at once. Aren't you afraid that we might catch you off guard before your players are familiar with the rhythm of the game?

Spain is really not afraid!

After these main players came on the court, they quickly took charge of the game.

The Chilean team tried to make a sneak attack, but ended up hitting the iron plate.

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

The intensity of the game after the main team came on the stage was completely different from the previous experience when facing a group of substitutes.

The remaining twenty-five minutes of the second half almost turned into a half-time offensive and defensive drill for the Spaniard.

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 their opponents to the ground and scoring two goals in just over 20 minutes. They were all impressed.

The big brother in the team really didn’t brag!

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

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

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

The next national team game will have to wait until a month later, but after qualifying early in the group stage, Bosque may not recruit so many main players to Eastern Europe.

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

…

After returning to Manchester, Perret came to the door.

"You mentioned investment before. I have done some research here to see if there are any projects you are interested in."

As he spoke, Pere handed Lin Quan an investment project he had sorted out.

Lin Quan took it and browsed it curiously.

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

The information he compiled is very comprehensive and detailed, and there are many types of investments.

Including real estate, futures, stocks, etc.

“After experiencing the financial crisis in 2008, European real estate hit rock bottom. In the past few years, it has been in the recovery stage, and house prices across Europe have been rising.

Moreover, consortiums in the Middle East have spent generously and bought large amounts of land in Europe, further driving up real estate prices.

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

Lin Quan remembered what happened when he bought a house in Munich. According to the Germans, Middle Eastern consortiums indeed cooperated with them frequently.

Oil tycoons have taken advantage of the high oil prices in recent years to make a lot of US dollars. With so much money and no place to spend it, they are buying real estate at the lowest price all over the world.

However, Lin Quan knows that with the outbreak of the Wudong issue next year, the European economy will collapse.

By then, this investment craze will quickly subside. If you enter now, you will most likely become a high-profile taker.

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 in the face of high housing prices.

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

He belongs to the kind of risk-averse and prudent investment group, and likes investment products with low risks.

So, he opened his mouth and said:

"The wineries in France are good. The demand for wine in the international market is increasing. The market prospects are very good, and the purchase price is not high. Do you want to consider it?"

Many Spanish international players are doing such things as investing in wineries.

"You can invest a little money. How much does a medium-sized winery cost?"

"A few million euros, maybe?"

"Okay, vote for me, the one with the vineyard!"

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

"What are you going to invest the rest of the money in?"

Only one percent of the assets have been disposed of, and more than half of it has not been spent.

“The remaining money was divided into two parts for me, and half was used to buy shares of this company.

The other half, I plan to handle myself. "

There were some things that Lin Quan didn't plan to tell Pere, not because he wanted to guard against the other party, but mainly because he was afraid of trouble.

Letting Perre know is equivalent to letting Guardiola know.

Guardiola is a talkative 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 Lin Quan wanted to invest in and nodded slightly.

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

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

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

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

He planned to do some research after he went back to see what the future of this company was.

If the market gives a high evaluation and the prospects are good, then he plans to invest some money 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 US$112 per coin. If this price is placed ten years from now, it will be a bargain price.

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

Many experts claim that the price of Bitcoin is artificially high and the trading volume is extremely low, and that it is a deceptive thing.

After a casual search, I found that the major media outlets on the Internet basically have a negative attitude towards this thing, and I can hardly see anyone saying anything good about him.

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

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

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 Bitcoin madness.

This kind of 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 will get nearly 200 times the profit.

If you are more greedy and wait until the high point of 2021-2022 to sell, you can even get five to six hundred times the profit.

Of course, he has the same attitude as the mainstream crowd, and also believes that this thing is suspected of spreading flowers through drumming.

So I don't plan to hold it for a long time, I just plan to make a fortune and run.

However, the memories brought by 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 the original plane.

Therefore, he only dared to invest half of the funds in this project, and the other part of the funds could be used to make some relatively 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 sell them when the prices have increased tenfold, you can still get a lot of profits.
