Chapter 816 Super Predator
Southampton has only one office in China. It is located in the most luxurious Bund New District in Longhai, in a high-end office building by the Pujiang River. The rent is quite expensive, but the scenery is beautiful.
Standing on the balcony of the office building, you can overlook the opposite Longhai City and the Pujiang River, which is very pleasing to the eye.
It's even more beautiful at night!
Almost without exception, those who can settle in the Bund New Area are the headquarters of some famous enterprises, even multinational enterprises.
The reason why Southampton chose to arrange the branch here is also very simple, which is to emphasize a concept to the world.
The saints are no longer the saints they once were.
Today's Southampton is already a well-known top team in Europe and even the world.
The status is different, and the style is naturally different.
"Master Huan seems to have something to tell me?" Mendes finally couldn't help but ask.
He firmly believed that Yang Huan invited him out for a walk, not just to see the scenery.
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "Indeed, I really want to talk to you about something."
"Master Huan, please tell me, as long as I can help, I will do my best!" Mendes promised without asking.
It's a rare opportunity to hug the young master's thigh, wouldn't it be a pity if he gave up again?
The world says that Mendes is a super predator, but in reality?
This summer, how many transfers has he handled so far? How much can you earn?
Where is Master Kehuan?
One James Rodriguez is worth 100 million pounds, one Harvey Martinez, Bayern Munich trades Schweinsteiger, and there is more money.
Another Modric, Real Madrid not only need to add money, but also send Di Maria at a low price.
This is true for Southampton, isn't it also true for Atletico Madrid?
The transfers of Juanfran, Miranda and Felipe have made Atletico Madrid a lot of money. The three players have a net income of tens of millions, plus Mario Suarez, Raul Garcia The transfer of players such as West Asia.
The Sheets have at least made more than 100 million euros in profits in the transfer market this summer.
With this ability to operate, Master Huan is the real super predator.
If you want to talk about black, he Mendes asked himself that he couldn't catch up with Master Huan.
"I don't know if you have heard that China is planning to launch a massive football reform recently?"
Mendes nodded, "Of course, such a big matter has been reported in the media. I heard that Master Huan is still leading the charge."
Yang Huan was noncommittal and smiled slightly, "The government is also considering accepting foreign football organizations to come to China for development."
Mendes was a little confused at first, but he vaguely pondered what Master Huan meant...
"I can tell you that we have the largest football market in the world, we have a population of more than one billion, and the potential of our youth football, in the world, no other country can match, and now, we have a huge impact on the football population. There is an urgent need, we want to improve our football as soon as possible!"
Mendez really understood it now.
"Master Huan, what do you mean, you want us to help more Chinese players go to Europe for training and competition?"
Yang Huan nodded with a smile, "Not only that, there are already many wealthy teams that are very interested in setting up youth training camps in China, or organizing summer camps in the summer."
"I don't know about other teams. Our Saints will build three large youth training bases across the country in the next three years. Atletico Madrid, Monaco, Inter Milan, Ajax and Benfica will each build an advanced training base." The youth training base, and in the next few years, we will regularly hold national football summer camp activities.”
"What I can guarantee is that in the not-too-distant and foreseeable future, our Chinese football population will continue to emerge, and this market will become bigger and bigger, so big that you can't even imagine it!"
Mendes was a little dumbfounded.
With a huge population base of 1.3 billion, the Chinese football market has always been something that all European teams cannot ignore.
Especially in recent years, with the strong rise of China's economy, more and more European teams attach great importance to the Chinese market.
But in fact, this cake looks big and delicious, but in fact, it is not easy to eat.
A very important reason is that almost everyone regards the visit of European teams to China as a trip to make money.
Coupled with the irregularity of the market, this kind of business behavior has become increasingly ineffective.
This is why in the past few years, European teams have suddenly shifted direction and gone to North America.
Europe and China are thousands of miles apart. Although they can use the Internet and news, or live TV to spread their influence, it is too insignificant.
But the appearance of Yang Huan seemed to open a window for European teams.
Everyone has found that the Chinese media and fans are very concerned about Southampton, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, and even Monaco and other teams, because they all have Chinese investment backgrounds.
Especially like Southampton, in just four years, from an unknown League One team, it has become the most talked about European giants by Chinese fans, even surpassing Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Behind all of this is because of Yang Huan!
All European teams are aware that if they want to develop the Chinese market, they must have Chinese elements.
Youth training is undoubtedly a very good entry point.
First of all, China's youth training is very bad. European teams use youth training as an entry point, which undoubtedly meets this demand.
Moreover, the youth training can benefit one party, better close the relationship between the club and the fans, and establish a good brand image and commercial value of the club.
If we say that in the past, European teams were completely confused about how to carry out youth training in China.
Well, since last year, Yang Huan took the lead in proposing that European teams cooperate with local Chinese schools to carry out campus football training plans, which undoubtedly opened a door for everyone and let them get out of the maze.
"In the past few years, there have been European teams coming to China to set up youth training camps one after another, and they basically cooperate with Chinese football clubs. Some of the effects are not bad, but some gradually disappear. movement."
Yang Huan said with a confident smile, "But this time, the situation is different."
Mendes understood what Master Huan meant.
China's professional football is backward in all aspects, not only professional leagues and player training, but also supporting industries.
For example a broker.
To put it bluntly, Chinese football agents can still rely on various relationships to survive in China, but none of them can survive in European football because they don't understand the rules of European professional leagues at all.
It's as if Manchester United introduced Dong Fangzhuo from China.
One thing that is not very familiar is that Audi is the car sponsor of Manchester United, and it will provide free cars to Manchester United's first-team players.
But within European teams, there is often an unspoken rule, that is, for any treatment similar to car sponsorship, players often choose the matching grade according to their identity and status.
But that time, Dong Fangzhuo's choice was second only to Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney.
Of course the sponsors don't have any objections, but what about the players in the team?
How will those core players who abide by the unspoken rules, and even players who have established themselves in the first team, view this matter?
This is obviously caused by the broker's clumsiness!
Players don't understand, it's understandable, but the agent doesn't understand either, so what kind of agent is there?
Why are Raiola, Pini Zahavi, Jorge Mendes and other agents so trusted and valued by players?
Isn't it because they have enough ability to help players?
Ibrahimovic would be where he is today without Raiola?
If Dong Fangzhuo can have, needless to say, a big crocodile like Mendes, who only needs a slightly better ability and a well-connected agent, then why is he sticking to Manchester United?
Seeing that there was no chance, he left the team early.
Don't they even understand the principle that when a tree is moved to death, a person is moved to live?
How many professional players in Europe are reborn every year because of changing teams?
Of course, Dong Fangzhuo's failed trip to Europe cannot be said that he was not responsible, but the manager's guilt is also great.
And Yang Huan's idea is also very clear, that is, since the local brokers can't do it, let the European brokers come.
At the very least, they are professional!
As for broker predators like Mendes, there is absolutely no need to worry too much.
Human traffickers are not scary at all, the scary thing is that even human traffickers look down on you!
If you can let a human trafficker like Mendez try to sell you, then congratulations, you have become a talent!
Moreover, from the beginning to the end, I have never seen a player who was cheated to death by his agent.
On the contrary, players like Anelka and Ronaldinho were all killed by some of their own brothers and relatives.
Was Ronaldo's agent bad enough back then?
Just change it, what's the matter?
What age is this, is it possible that a contract can be bound for life?
On the contrary, super predators like Mendes and Raiola, to put it bluntly, as long as you have some strength and level, they have the ability to operate you to the mainstream European leagues and play in the game!
Even a player like Beibei can go to Manchester United at such a price, what is impossible?
Mendes stood on the balcony, facing the scenery of Longhai on the other side, he thought a lot.
He clearly realized that China is indeed a gold mine, a treasure house.
Especially the several teams under Yang Huan's command are determined to enter the field of Chinese football youth training on a large scale, which undoubtedly strengthens his idea.
With an idea, he sorted out some of the things that he had been struggling with before, and made a decision.
"Master Huan, I will seriously consider your suggestion."
Yang Huan nodded. Human traffickers like Mendes usually have a scouting network with vicious vision and excellent operation efficiency.
Once they decide to enter China, they will definitely do everything possible to dig out football talents.
Because that's what they do for a living, no?
Of course, Yang Huan will also propose that the government and competent authorities introduce a series of restrictive policies to protect players.
"Master Huan, there is something I want to discuss with you." Mendes said suddenly and seriously.
"Oh?" Yang Huan was a little surprised, "Let's hear it."
"To tell you the truth, I'm in the brokerage business, and sometimes there are things that I have to be considerate of, Young Master Huan."
Yang Huan nodded, probably knew what was going on.
But from what Mendesken took the initiative to say, it is still quite frank.
"Say it!"
"Chelsea entrusted me to talk to Inter Milan about the transfer of Icardi and Ranocchia, as well as Calhanoglu of Hamburg."
When Mendes said this, his eyes were fixed on Yang Huan.
He noticed that Young Master Huan's expression was a little hesitant, as if he was not very happy.
"Of course, if Master Huan doesn't want to sell it, then I'll go back and push this entrustment. No matter what, I hope to be able to make friends with Master Huan."
Yang Huan knew in his heart that Mendes did this because he didn't want to offend him.
As for Abramovich, he must have his own way.
