Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventy First Black Shop Is Not Black

"Judging from the current general situation, the third-party organizations that hold players are usually brokerage companies."

"In the case of selling a player, we not only have to share the player transfer fee with a third-party agency according to the shareholding ratio, but we also need to pay an additional transfer agency fee and a certain percentage of commission to the brokerage company."

"It's like Xavi Garcia, when he was introduced from Real Madrid, he spent seven million euros, which was paid by us and his agent, and when he transferred to Manchester City, the transfer fee was 16000 euros. One million euros, with a difference of 9 million euros in the middle, if we divide it according to the shares, we can have a transfer profit of 4.5 million euros."

"But after deducting intermediary fees, deducting commissions, and deducting a series of other follow-up costs, we only earned less than three million euros at most, and all the rest were earned by the broker."

Yang Huan can fully imagine this situation. After all, third-party agencies and brokers have always existed in the form of vampires, especially big brokers like Mendes, and they are not good.

But then, what Rui Costa said surprised Yang Huan.

"Master Huan, maybe you think that if you earn more than you earn, don't you all have to earn money?" The former Portuguese superstar smiled awkwardly when he said this.

Yang Huan also felt a little strange, because Rui Costa gave him the impression that he was an artist-like figure, but now, he was talking about the incomparable reality and snobbery. If the fans outside knew it, he would definitely It's about shattering your glasses.

"But do you know? Javi Garcia has played for Benfica for two years. During these two years, his salary, bonuses and a series of other supporting benefits are all borne by the club. If it is included, let alone make money in this transaction, we may even lose money."

These words really surprised Yang Huan.

Because Rui Costa made such a calculation, then Benfica really suffered a big loss.

On the contrary, it is a third-party organization that can take commissions from players' salaries, bonuses and benefits, as well as transfer fees, intermediary fees and a series of other handling fees. They also make a lot of money.

In the end, it was the club that was unlucky!

"Actually, the situation of Xavi Garcia is considered good. After all, he has made contributions to the club and the team's results are also very good. Although the players did not make money, the club has gained results."

Having said that, Rui Costa changed his subject, "But you know what? Players like Saviola and Garay,

The club is completely in a mess. "

"Why?"

"Saviola was transferred from Real Madrid to Benfica in 2009. He is worth 5 million euros. The money was also involved by a third-party agency, but his salary is very high. The club originally hoped that he could play his worth. Then sell it for cash, but unexpectedly, his performance in Benfica is not satisfactory."

"But what is even more outrageous is that in 2012, Malaga wanted to recruit stars in European football, and Saviola was one of them. At this time, Saviola's third-party ownership agency represented Malaga. Laga came to Benfica to negotiate and they asked Benfica to let Saviola go on a free transfer."

"Benfica was finally forced by the pressure of the agent and the players, and Saviola's salary was too high, it was too extravagant to stay on the bench, and finally had to choose to let him transfer freely, but for this deal, Benfica lost money It's a mess, but the broker is making a lot of money!"

This time, Yang Huan understood without Rui Costa's explanation.

In the past three years in Benfica, the agent took a commission from Saviola, and the money was given by Benfica. Even if Saviola performed poorly and could not play the main role, he still had to give a salary, and the agent could still take commission. .

After the free transfer to Malaga, on the surface, the third party represented by the agent also lost money, but in reality?

The commissions in the past three years have already recovered some of the costs. Free transfers to Malaga took the opportunity to ask for a big contract, plus agency fees, signing fees and so on. Dare to make a lot of money, but at least it is a small profit.

Instead, Benfica is at a big loss!

As for Garay mentioned by Rui Costa, he is also from Real Madrid, worth 5 million euros, and is still playing for Benfica, but it is said that he has already signed the Zenit team in Russia in advance, worth 6 million euros.

This is too cheap for the main central defender of the Argentine national team!

It is entirely foreseeable that the Russians must have paid a lot of agency fees and commissions for the agent to operate Gareth to go to Zenit.

And Benfica was also very passive in this transaction, without autonomy, and could only be slaughtered helplessly.

"The more profitable one is Witsel. The Belgian transferred to Zenit for 40 million euros. We can probably get about 20 million euros. If we deduct agency fees and commissions, 15 million About 10,000 euros, it can be regarded as a profit.”

Yang Huan could only smile wryly at this.

He really didn't expect that the so-called third-party organization was even darker than he imagined.

No wonder Atletico Madrid has cultivated so many stars for so many years and sold off one after another leading players, but the result is that they still lose money every year and cannot make ends meet.

Vieira sat on the side, and smiled wryly, "Master Huan, you are a giant in the Premier League. You don't know our situation. Now the salaries of players are generally high. If we want to fight for the income of the Champions League, we must attract a group of capable players. , salaries and bonuses become our heavy burden."

"It's not just our Benfica. If Porto deducts player transfers, their annual income is around 80 million euros, but their annual expenditure is nearly 100 million yuan, a full loss of nearly 20 million euros!"

Yang Huan still believed Vieira's words.

Many fans just see teams like Porto shine in the European arena, but they ignore that behind their eye-catching performance, they also need to bear heavy pressure, especially player salaries.

no pain no gain.

Investment may not be able to reap returns, but if you don't invest, you will definitely not be able to get returns.

Therefore, every report card of Porto in the Champions League is piled up by the heavy debts behind the club.

This is true for Porto, so is Benfica, and it is true for countless teams like them!

After straightening out this level, Yang Huan further understood why the Portuguese Super League team came to a third party in this way.

To put it bluntly, without a third-party investment agency, they don't even have money for signings!

On this side, the team has to sell the leading players to make up for the loss, but on the other side there is no money to sign in, so the choice left to the club is very simple, either to introduce a third party, or to lose strength.

The latter seems to have a lot of backbone, but these days, can backbone be eaten?

What is especially worthy of vigilance is that when a team falls into the quagmire of a vicious circle, no one can save it!

Therefore, they clearly know that cooperating with a third party is to quench their thirst, and they know that they have to accept the exploitation of the third party, but they still have to accept it, because if they refuse the third party, they will only die!

And if someone wants to talk about youth training, it is even more naive.

If there is any professional club these days that pins all their hopes on the youth training camp, then this club must have died somewhere long ago, and it is impossible to survive!

To put it bluntly, youth training is a gamble on luck. No one knows what can be gained by investing so much.

It might even be nothing!

Just ask, is this mode of operation reliable?

If Yang Huan remembers correctly, Benfica still has a debt of 100 million euros!

As for Porto, there are tens of millions of debts!

Of course, don't think Vieira and Rui Costa are victims now that they are complaining.

Don't be so naive!

Maybe they, like Porto's Da Costa, are beneficiaries of this system.

Because they are them and Benfica is Benfica.

Who stipulates that if Benfica suffers a loss and is heavily in debt, they will also be unlucky?

But after this conversation, Yang Huan really has a better understanding of the Portuguese Super League.

Speaking of the advantages of the Portuguese Super League, it is also the Portuguese Super League's attraction to players from South American countries such as Brazil and Argentina, as well as their excellent scouting network in South America, which can ensure that they have an endless supply of talents.

However, in recent years, South America's economy has taken off, and the value of players has also increased. It is no longer the era when hundreds of thousands or one or two million could poach talents.

Therefore, no matter whether it is Porto or Benfica, they cannot bear the transfer fee of several million or even tens of millions of South American players, so they can only turn to a third party for help.

Just kidding, how much is your annual income? Can afford these players?

But in the Internet age, as soon as a player shows up a little, he will be immediately noticed, and his value will also soar. It is difficult to produce high-quality and cheap goods.

Therefore, to a certain extent, third-party institutions can also be regarded as a kind of football-like venture capital.

It's just that what they invest in is people.

This kind of behavior of selling people as slaves and commodities will be banned sooner or later.

However, Yang Huan was thinking that teams such as Benfica and Porto are now in exactly the same situation as Atletico Madrid back then, relying too much on third parties, but they have a strong ability to train players and have excellent scouts network.

The only thing they lack is money!

More importantly, their market capitalization in the stock market is quite low, about 30 to 40 million euros.

According to the current share price of Benfica, in the case of willingness to take on debt, the purchase price must be unbelievably low.

At that time, if we follow Atlético de Madrid's approach, eradicate the cancer of the third-party organization, and invest a sum of money to operate it, I believe there will be great achievements.

Thinking of this, Yang Huan knew it well, and decided to turn around and ask Zhao Yuanfang to study it carefully.

With both UEFA and FIFA vigorously cracking down on third-party ownership, the Portuguese Super League will definitely be purged, and if this opportunity can be used to win the most ideal natural springboard for South American players , that is undoubtedly a pretty good opportunity.

With this focus, Yang Huan became interested.

I grabbed Vieira and Rui Costa and asked for more inside information and news.

Benfica really hoped to cooperate with Yang Huan very much. They even mentioned the Brazilian monsters from Shakhtar Donetsk, hoping that Yang Huan could loan them to Benfica.

This immediately made Yang Huan smile wryly, there really is nothing new under the sun.

As for the purchase of Shakhtar Donetsk's demons, Yang Huan did it secretly, with Pini Zahavi, Joorabchian and Bertolucci in charge, and the transaction has just been completed not long ago.

The total price of the seven players selected by Yang Huan is close to 60 million, which is considered a very good deal.

But who would have thought that Benfica had already received the news just after the deal was completed.

This is true of Benfica, and it must be true of other European teams.

Damn, with the quality of this group of Brazilian players, will there be a lot of teams rushing to get them?

Thinking about it is really a headache!
