Chapter 417 I Want to Retreat

"Master Huan, there is something I don't quite understand!"

After Mubarak left, Hamad looked at Yang Huan with a puzzled expression.

"What's up?"

Yang Huan was using his mobile phone to send WeChat to Sun Yue, and he was talking about this matter with him, so he responded perfunctorily.

"Why did you agree to Mubarak?"

Yang Huan was stunned when he heard this, turned around and looked at Hamad, but the little prince in the Middle East was serious.

Obviously, he really didn't understand.

The reason for the matter is that Yang Huan and Mubarak reached a third cooperation agreement just now, that is, Manchester City hopes that Southampton can communicate with Manchester City in advance when they sell Strowman.

Yang Huan also agreed.

Unexpectedly, the little prince in the Middle East was so bored that he was puzzled by this matter.

Kind of a joke!

Yang Huan didn't answer, he just glanced at Hamad and continued to send his WeChat, and Peter Kenyon did it for him.

"It's normal, it's the norm in the transfer market!"

"How do you say?" Hamad asked eagerly.

"It's very simple and easy to understand, Strowman is not the first choice for Manchester City, maybe even in their transfer list, it is not necessarily third or further down."

Hamad couldn't stop nodding, but didn't say anything.

"The reason why Manchester City is doing this is actually for double insurance." Peter Kenyon knows the operation of the European transfer market well, after all, he has been in Manchester United and Chelsea for so many years.

"If I'm not wrong, Manchester City's No. 1 target in the transfer market this summer is De Rossi from Serie A Roma."

Mancini has always been very interested in De Rossi, and has always wanted to use De Rossi and Yaya Toure as a midfielder to form the world's top double midfielder for Manchester City.

"However, it is clear that Manchester City's plan to introduce De Rossi has encountered problems, so Mubarak will do it. Once De Rossi's transfer operation is not ideal, they will settle for the next best thing and switch to Strowman."

A team's summer transfer list often has two, three, or even more options.

But it is impossible to operate every player on the roster, which not only diverts the team's resources, but more importantly, ruins the team's image.

Just imagine, if the other club and the player's agent have a good talk with you, basically everything is negotiated, but you suddenly tell him, I'm sorry, our preferred player has been bought, and your player is no longer needed. Now, what will they do?

It is foreseeable that this club should not expect to make a difference in the transfer market in the future!

So, there has to be another way.

Many teams even tell the players' agents frankly that your players are our spare tires. You keep them for me first. If we can't buy our first-choice target, we will introduce your players. The transfer fee is as good as you want. , don't be too outrageous.

The player's agent and the selling team are happy to wait for the player's value to skyrocket, and even they will hype it up in the media to boost the player's value, and the buying team also gains, at least they can get a double. Insurance, isn't it?

This is also the reason why many little-known players are always worth 10 to 20 million euros.

Mubarak didn't say it outright just now, he said it in a vague way, so Hamad couldn't understand it.

Yang Huan put down the phone and looked at Hamad with interest.

"I said, the little prince in the Middle East, I have always been curious, why do you have so many international airlines in such a small place?"

When Yang Huan asked this question, Peter Kenyon was also interested.

Anyone familiar with the Middle East knows that there are indeed many airlines here.

For example Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Gulf Air…

There are so many international airlines that are not as big as a province in China, but what?

Now that Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways are both partners of Yang Huan, it is natural to know more.

When Hamad heard this, he was immediately happy and smiled straight.

That look seems to be saying, Oh, Master Huan, there are times when you don't understand and ask me!

That look, that expression, made Yang Huan so angry that he almost slapped him.

"Speak or not?" Yang Huan smiled and pretended to fight.

"I said, I said!" Hamad hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Not to mention the general direction, oil will always be hollowed out one day, so almost in the Middle East, every country hopes to get rid of oil dependence. This is Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar."

This is quite understandable.

"And in recent years, consortiums in the Middle East have been acquiring companies with strong value preservation all over the world, such as water, electricity, transportation facilities in developed European countries, as well as luxury brands, shops, etc., all out of this mentality. "

Don't say, there are no fools in this world.

Many people think that the Middle East consortium is stupid and rich, but everyone has their own plans.

If you look at it in the long run, who is stupid, then you don't know!

"In terms of investment, new energy and high technology have always been favored, but there is another one, the media, such as the most famous Al Jazeera TV, which is known as the Middle East CNN, and now has a good influence in the world. "

Only then did Yang Huan think that Qatar acquired Paris Saint-Germain because it wanted to enter the French media field.

"But the consortium is most interested in airlines."

After all, Hamad came from a wealthy family, and his knowledge is really good. His analysis is reasonable and convincing.

"The Middle East is located in the middle of Asia, Africa and Latin America. With its inherent geographical advantages, it is very suitable as a transit station. Therefore, when the countries in the Middle East realize this, they will immediately rush in one after another."

"I remember that the earliest Gulf Air was acquired by Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Oman and Bahrain from the British Civil Aviation Company, but after entering the new century, the advantages of the transfer station have gradually emerged, coupled with the difference in business philosophy, so We, Qatar, took the lead in withdrawing from Gulf Air and forming Qatar Airways.”

"After that, Abu Dhabi also withdrew and established Etihad Airways, plus Emirates Airline, which was established in Dubai as early as the 1980s. These three companies are now the strongest in the entire Gulf region."

This time, Yang Huan could vaguely understand a general context.

In the past few years, especially after the subprime mortgage and European debt crisis broke out, the global aviation industry fell into a recession.

However, under this circumstance, the three major airlines in the Gulf region have begun to expand their military forces in great strides. More customers, gain a firm foothold in the market.

Therefore, Etihad Airways will be so drastic to sponsor the International Champions Cup and develop the American market.

People are not short of money at all, what is lacking is the market and the popularity!

It will take a few years for the global economy to recover, and the advantages and value of these three airlines will truly be reflected!

Thinking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help laughing.

"I can't see it, you people in the Middle East are also very cunning!"

Hamad was quite complacent, as if he was very proud of being praised by Yang Huan.

Yang Huan slapped her big legs hard and stood up directly.

"Okay, things are almost done!"

Peter? Kenyon and Hamad also quickly followed to stand up.

"Peter, the team's affairs will proceed according to the plan we said before!"

Peter Kenyon kept nodding.

"In terms of event preparation, Sun Yue will handle it, there should be no problem!"

Peter Kenyon and Hamad are confused now, what is Master Huan going to do?

"So, in the next few days, if you have nothing to do, it's best not to bother me, I'm going to retreat!"

Retreat?

Peter? Kenyon and Hamad were dumbfounded.

I have long heard that Young Master Huan will retreat whenever he encounters important matters.

I didn't expect this to happen!

"Master Huan, this is so good, why do you want to retreat?" Peter Kenyon didn't understand.

Yang Huan smiled meaningfully, "You'll know when the time comes!"

After saying that, he left.

Only Peter Kenyon and Hamad were left, dumbfounded.

What the hell is going on here?

…………

…………

When Yang Huan walked out of Tingyuxuan, Richard Scudmore, who was far away in London, received a call from Jeremy Darlock, CEO of Sky TV.

The Premier League chief executive's shocked expression surprised everyone in the office.

But the sudden news that caught them off guard followed closely.

"What? Reassessing Premier League rights?"

Scudmore couldn't believe his ears. It's been broadcast for so many years. Is it necessary to re-evaluate?

"Jeremy, are you kidding me?"

"I'm sorry, Richard, this is from the superior leadership!"

Jeremy Darlock on the other side of the phone sighed helplessly.

"Why? Don't you know that losing the Premier League broadcast rights will shake your Sky TV?"

"No, Richard, we are very clear, very clear!" Jeremy Darlock explained patiently.

"So, we didn't say we were giving up, we just wanted to be able to reevaluate the packages and the auction."

But in Richard Scudmore's view, it's more like playing tricks.

After hanging up the phone, he was still thinking, what the hell is going on?

Sky TV to give up the broadcast rights of the Premier League is absolutely a foolish thing to lose both sides!

Besides, it's not that the Premier League can't find a team to take over, but the price must have shrunk significantly.

But what about Sky TV?

The loss must be even worse!

It may even be stagnant from now on!

What is the reason for Sky TV to make such a decision?

There is no doubt that they are taking the opportunity to lower prices and put pressure on the Premier League.

But what do they have to rely on?

A thought immediately flashed through Scudemore's mind, Southampton!

With media reporters spreading the word, there is now almost all the hype around the world that Southampton will be out of the Premier League.

This undoubtedly gave Sky TV a chance to put pressure on it!

The Premier League and Sky TV are a community of interests, each one prospers and one loses.

So, Scudemore wouldn't really believe that Sky wanted to pull out of the fight for the rights.

And he quickly realized the problem.

That's Southampton!

Thinking of this, Scudmore immediately took out his mobile phone, found Yang Huan's phone number in the address book, and called.

"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been switched off!"

Shut down?

Shut down at this time?

How is it so coincidental?

Scudmore looked for the address book again, found Peter Kenyon, and called again.

"Hey, Peter, it's me, Richard."

"Hello, Richard!"

"I want to see Mr. Yang Huan. I wonder when he has time?"

"Sorry, Richard, Master Huan has been busy these days, and he's not in Europe."

"He's not in Europe?" Scudmore frowned. "When will he be back?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait at least half a month."

Peter Kenyon's answer disappointed Scudmore.

Could it be that he already knew that this kind of thing would happen, so he deliberately avoided it?

"Richard, actually seeing our young master Huan at this time is of no use!" Peter Kenyon said with a smile on the phone.

"why?"

"The crux of the matter is not with us, but with the other teams, you should know what I mean!"

Scudmore was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Peter Kenyon was referring to.

It seems that we have to quickly organize another special summit without the Premiership chair.

Otherwise, wait until the next regular meeting, and you will have missed the time for the start of the league.

This matter is extraordinary, it concerns the interests of all teams in the Premier League, and an early decision must be made!

Thinking of this level, Scudmore had a few more conversations with Peter Kenyon, and after some communication, he hung up the phone.

"Go, send faxes to the other nineteen teams in the Premier League, and say that in half a month, a special summit without the Premiership's chair will be held temporarily!"
