Before the start of Serie A, AC Milan and Manchester City came to China and played two friendly matches against Beijing Guoan and Yangcheng Evergrande.
A large number of fans came to Tianhe Sports Center and Workers' Stadium.
Especially AC Milan enjoyed a warm welcome from the people of both places because of the presence of Ronaldo.
The result of the game is secondary. In this kind of friendly match, under normal circumstances, everyone plays more conservatively.
Because the new season is about to begin, there is no point in getting injured just for this kind of friendly match without any honor.
Of course, there are some extreme cases where kicking and pushing begin, and then fighting begins.
Fortunately, none of the situations Zhang Yida was worried about happened.
AC Milan, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, defeated the two teams with a "slender" advantage. Cristiano Ronaldo even ran to the stands to greet the fans, and the crowd cheered.
Someone viewed the short video above, which attracted many netizens to like it.
After the game, Ronaldo and his teammates visited some scenic spots and snack streets in Beijing and Yangcheng, and took many short videos of tasting delicious food.
Suddenly, there were more than twenty foreigners on Douji who said "Hello" but with weird accents.
Zhang Yida has always attached great importance to AC Milan's development of the Chinese market.
If you want to make money, you must at least let everyone have some impression of you foreigners, right?
After these players return to Italy, a new media team within the club will continue to be responsible for shooting short videos for them and posting them to multiple social media platforms including China’s DouShi.
After a trip to China, AC Milan’s Chinese fans, who had been dormant for more than ten years, were “resurrected” again.
AC Milan's official DouShi has gained millions of followers in a few days, and has also sold a lot of jerseys, sneakers, and tickets through the DouShi store.
In addition, AC Milan has also received three commercial sponsorships, amounting to tens of millions of euros.
Manchester City also gained something, and their respective goals were basically achieved.
On the 19th, in the first round of the 2018-19 Serie A season, AC Milan faced Sampdoria.
This is a team that ranks in the middle and lower reaches among the twenty teams in Serie A and is not strong.
Even so, it is not easy for AC Milan to win.
The one-to-one tie lasted until the 75th minute, when Cristiano Ronaldo seized an opportunity and scored the winning goal, defeating Sampdoria 2-1 and earning 3 league points.
It was Zhang Yida's first time to watch a game at AC Milan's home court. Sitting on the podium, he did not stand up and cheer like the fans to celebrate the club's victory over its opponents.
He doesn't know much about football, but he also sees some problems.
The reason why AC Milan is having such a difficult time is mainly because their coordination is not yet proficient and their tactics have not yet been formed.
He didn't talk to Van Gaal. After all, he didn't use the suspects, but he didn't doubt the employees. He had to give the head coach time.
"Second brother-in-law, why aren't you happy after winning?"
After obtaining the consent of their uncle and aunt, Zhang Yida and Zhao Erya brought Wang Yiduo to the scene, realizing her little wish.
"Am I unhappy?" Zhang Yida asked with a smile.
"Yes, for more than 90 minutes, I saw you didn't even smile a few times. Except when AC Milan scored, you frowned the whole time."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yida smiled, guessing that he might have revealed his true emotions inadvertently.
"Are you coming to watch the football later?" Zhao Erya asked.
"If it's not an important game, we basically won't come. It will be managed by professional managers."
Zhang Yida replied with a smile, with so many industries, how could he have time to focus on this issue every day?
However, he does not have unreserved trust in foreign professional managers.
The Chinese professional managers selected for important positions such as club CFO and financial audit were all transferred from Ruixiang.
…
World First is a long-established payment institution in the UK. Founded in 2004, it has more than 80,000 active customers and an annual transaction volume of more than 10 billion pounds.
Through UBS's matchmaking, Zhang Yida met with Jonathan Quinn and Nick Robinson, the two founders of Wanlihui, in London.
Both of them were in their fifties, their hair was meticulously styled, they were dressed in decent suits, and there was nothing wrong with their etiquette.
Zhang Yida shook hands with the two founders, sat down, and said directly to the point: "Two gentlemen, I am very clear about the upper limit of an international cross-border remittance platform like Wanlihui.
It is easy to make some achievements, but it is very difficult to make it big!
Choosing to sell the company at this time will not hurt you at all. Not only will you have freedom of wealth, but you will also have more time and energy to pursue some of the things you like."
Quinn was very surprised by Zhang Yida's directness. Aren't all Chinese people very reserved?
Although there was a hint in Zhang Yida's words that Wanlihui was regarded as a small company, he was not angry at all.
Compared with Ruixiang, Wanlihui is really just a small company.
"I admit that Wanlihui is indeed just an inconspicuous small company in front of Ruixiang."
Quinn spread his hands, "But Wanlihui is a very critical springboard for us to enter the European market."
Zhang Yida smiled. Hearing this tone, he wanted to have a good bargain with himself.
“I heard that your company’s main service targets are foreign workers who work abroad and need to send money home, and some of your customers are small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in cross-border commerce.
These businesses are not as important to Ruixiang as Mr. Quinn imagined."
Quinn smiled and waved his hand, "I understand that Ruixiang's core financial technology business is mobile payment, and it has a large number of C-end users.
But if we were PayPal, the offer wouldn’t be as low as £700 million.”
Zhang Yida laughed and shook his head, "700 million pounds, this quote, I'm honest, is really too high.
Wanlihui has more than 80,000 active users, and the value of a single user is as high as US$10,000."
Robinson had been sitting next to him expressionlessly. At this time, he couldn't help but interjected, "Mr. Zhang, you are just changing the concept. How can you use the number of users to conduct valuation?"
You have to look at our revenue, net profit, and layout in the B-side market.

If Musical.ly wants to get involved in e-commerce in the future, Wanlihui can provide great assistance.
We have mature e-commerce sellers on our platform, as well as a mature international cross-border remittance business. Musical.ly may be able to try cross-border e-commerce business."
