Chapter 153: Shanghai Fantasy
So, in order to ensure that Lifan could continue to manage the club, the city government initially took a series of appeasement measures, including allocating funds from the Sports Bureau. After all, if Lifan completely relinquished control of the club, the city government would indeed struggle to find a suitable person to take on this hot potato.
As for enterprises from other regions, no one is willing to come here. Although there might be interest in buying the club’s participation rights, the city government and the local sports bureau would definitely not agree.
It is also quite challenging to find a local enterprise with the capability and willingness to take over the club. Although there were rumors that the owner of another large local automobile company, Chang’an, was interested in taking over the club, the outcome was ultimately inconclusive.
This is because Chang’an Automobile is a relatively complex state-owned enterprise. Although it is now among the top 500 companies, it is not owned by a single individual. Therefore, a project that only involves spending money without generating profits is not something a single person can decide on alone.
Seeing Zhi Nao’s analysis, Wu Hao immediately came up with a plan: first, have his subordinates acquire the club.
Of course, how to transform this club into a phenomenon-level club would need careful planning. Wu Hao estimated that the funds required for this were not sufficient with his current account balance.
“Zero, how much money do I have left in my account now?”
“BOSS, you currently have 260 million USD in your Swiss bank account and 130 million RMB in your domestic account.” Zhi Nao Zero quickly provided the specific answer. Of course, this is not all of Wu Hao’s assets. He still has considerable funds in the accounts of the machinery factory and the investment company’s branch in the city. However, Wu Hao would not touch these funds as they are meant for the construction of the resort and the management of the machinery factory.
