Chapter 827 Are You Worthy of the Surname Zhao?

The high-level meeting held in Longhai lasted a full day.

The atmosphere of the meeting was very warm, and every participant spoke freely and expressed their opinions.

There are all experienced and powerful leaders of European clubs present, and what is being discussed now is closely related to their future. Therefore, everyone has used their ability to suppress the bottom of the box for the team they belong to. Strive for more benefits.

This is also very normal.

Although it is a group operation, each team is a subsidiary company.

As the leaders of these subsidiaries, they naturally hope that their companies can develop better.

This can better bring out their ability and ability, isn't it?

Moreover, although after the group operation, each club still has considerable autonomy, there are still a lot of things to discuss, and only managers like them who really participate in the front-line management of the team can dig out. So many potential problems, and after discussion, solutions are quickly given.

The busiest person in the whole meeting was the female secretary who was in charge of taking notes.

One person simply cannot handle the heated discussions and controversies of so many people.

In the end, Yang Huan also had to ask Sun Yue to find someone temporarily, adding three more meeting minutes.

In addition to the controversies at the competitive level, there are also great controversies at the commercial level.

With the success of Southampton's Glory Plaza project, several teams under Yang Huan's command are full of ideas to emulate the Saints' business model.

The new stadiums of Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are almost finished, especially Inter Milan.

According to Yang Huan's previous promise, the new stadium will be officially completed before the Milan World Expo, and by then, tourists from all over the world will gather in Milan City. This is definitely a godsend opportunity for Inter Milan.

Fasone is a good player in running the stadium, and he has even started to prepare the business plan for Inter Milan's new stadium, especially in terms of attracting investment.

But now, in order to operate as a group, how to allocate the management rights of the stadium is a problem.

According to the simplest way, that is to fight on their own, which is also the most trouble-free.

But is this a good solution?

The answer is not necessarily!

This is a bit like the difference between a large chain of home appliance stores and small stores all over the country.

Yes, some small stores do have a very prosperous business. They even sell better than chain stores in the area, and their goods are also cheaper than chain stores. But are they competitive?

You know, things in hypermarkets are expensive, that's one of their strategies.

With the sales ability of chain hypermarkets, when they purchase goods from distributors, they have the kind of strong negotiating ability that is absolutely impossible for small stores to have in their lifetime. They can lower the purchase price to an unbelievable level.

Even, once it's the holidays, they have enough ability to ask the distributors to reduce their profits, cooperate with them to increase sales, and then pull the discount to the lowest level, which is definitely not available in small stores.

Therefore, according to Yang Huan's vision, since it is a group operation, the commercial resources of each team should be integrated by then, including sponsors, the interior of the stadium, and the operation of the commercial ecosystem in the area around the stadium.

Because of this, the group will have more say when negotiating with sponsors and merchants.

This time, the four teams of Southampton, Inter Milan, Monaco and Atlético de Madrid signed a major sponsorship contract with a number of big consortia including Nike and Qatar Airways. Negotiations came even higher, and even Ligue 1 teams like Monaco enjoyed premium treatment.

It can be seen that integration is competitive!

But from the standpoint of the club operator, it is indeed a bit troublesome.

Because this time it is the chest advertisement and the jersey sponsorship, both of which are the main sponsorships, it is better, because the cost of the two or three sponsorships is relatively high, and it is easier to allocate.

But if it involves those small sponsorships or brand authorization, it will be a headache.

Moreover, how to distribute the benefits at that time will not be so simple.

Furthermore, as club operators, if everything is integrated into it, they will not have much autonomy in their hands. This may not be a good thing for running a football team.

Sitting in the conference room, Yang Huan listened very attentively, but also felt very dizzy.

Because there are too many trivial details involved, and too many profit distributions are involved.

It is not at all a question of who is right and who is not.

But everyone is right!

This is very difficult!

Therefore, after discussing for a whole day, it was Yang Huan who finally had to stand up and once again stated that the operation of the group is imperative, and the integration of various resources must also be done. There will definitely be difficulties, but not because of difficulties. Just hold back.

Therefore, Yang Huan proposed an integration strategy of focusing on the big and letting go of the small, and first easy and then difficult.

It seems that this time the main sponsors of the four teams are well integrated, and the negotiations are also very smooth. It can be said that everyone is happy!

Finally, the first high-level meeting ended with Yang Huan's strong statement.

After the meeting, Yang Huan hosted a banquet in his own hotel for everyone.

…………

…………

"Huh, mother Xipi, it's more tiring than playing a game of football!"

Yang Huan sat down on the sofa in the room and exhaled heavily.

After a whole day's meeting, he had to deal with the drinking of those guys. Fortunately, he was not drunk after a thousand drinks. If he hadn't, he would have been drunk by now.

Both Sun Yue and Zhao Yuanfang followed Young Master Huan in, and sat on the opposite sofa. Seeing Young Master Huan's appearance, they both thought it was funny, as if they were saying, Young Master Huan, do you finally understand our hard work?

"Master Huan, how about I press it twice for you to refresh yourself?" Sun Yue said with a smile.

"Hey, no need!" Yang Huan woke up immediately, "It's just your rough hands and feet. If I let you press it, wouldn't that be a living pain?"

Having said that, I couldn't help but think of Xiaobu at home. If she was here, how comfortable would it be to press it twice?

"By the way, Lao Zhao, how is your progress?"

As soon as Sun Yue heard that Master Huan called Lao Zhao, he immediately couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Yuanfang was depressed, he felt like Sun Yue was teasing him, you also deserve the surname Zhao?

"Master Huan, next time, call me Yuanfang!" Zhao Yuanfang said with an aggrieved face.

"Damn it, you think I'm Di Renjie, and I'm returning Yuanfang!" Yang Huan laughed and cursed again.

This time, Sun Yue laughed even more unscrupulously.

But this is just a private joke. After laughing, we will get to the point.

"Master Huan, we have basically wiped out the stocks of Benfica and Ajax, and now only the few major shareholders are left. In addition, we are also actively contacting the Amsterdam City Government, hoping to acquire Ajax. All the remaining shares of the Reina Stadium will be convenient for us to renovate in the future."

Unlike what many people think, Ajax's home stadium, the Arenal Stadium, is not completely owned by Ajax.

Even, Ajax only holds 13% of the shares of the Arenal Stadium.

The real major shareholder is the Municipality of Amsterdam!

Moreover, a prosperous business circle has formed around the Arenal Stadium, and the surrounding supporting facilities are also owned by the Arenal Stadium. Therefore, according to Yang Huan's intention, they must be taken over.

"Very good, we must finish it as soon as possible!" Yang Huan still had great trust in Zhao Yuanfang's ability.

"Oh, by the way, the land around De Tokmost will also be acquired, and the expansion of the training base is imperative."

Ajax's training base is near the Arenal Stadium, but the area is not large, and there have not been any outstanding players in recent years. Once Yang Huan takes over, Ajax is bound to become a group to train young players important base.

In this case, the expansion of De Tokmorst was imperative.

Moreover, after Zhao Yuanfang's on-the-spot investigation and research, he felt that there is a vacant lot between the Arena and De Tokmost, along the main road in the city, which has great potential for development and can be used for development.

In the past few years, the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Windmills, has always been a favorite place for Chinese tourists, and the number of tourists has been increasing year by year. In 2013, about 250,000 people went to the Netherlands, and the number of tourists is still at a high speed. developing.

In recent years, Chinese enterprises have also frequently invested in the Netherlands, especially this year, it is estimated that nearly 200 enterprises will invest in the Netherlands, and more than 500 Chinese enterprises will settle in the Netherlands.

It is entirely foreseeable that in the next few years, Chinese tourists to the Netherlands will become more and more frequent.

Although the Netherlands has several airports, long-distance flights will only stop at the international airport in Amsterdam.

Arenal Stadium is not far from the international airport, and is located in the south of downtown Amsterdam. The transportation is very convenient. Both the geographical location and the development potential are quite good.

"In addition, the acquisition of Benfica has almost completed, and only one or two shareholders are still negotiating, but I believe the problem is not too big, because Benfica itself agreed to be acquired by us, so..."

Zhao Yuanfang's words gave Yang Huan another reassurance.

Because of the Portuguese language, the Portuguese Super League has a natural appeal to players from South American countries.

Winning Benfica is tantamount to drawing a strong stroke for Yang Huan's European football version.

What's more interesting is that among the teams in Yang Huan's hands, in addition to Southampton, Monaco and Atletico Madrid, there are Anderlecht in Belgium, Sparta Prague in the Czech Republic, and Sparta in Switzerland. Basel, Portugal's Benfica, and the upcoming Ajax have all entered the Champions League.

Except for Sparta Prague, which needs to play in the fourth qualifying round, all other teams directly enter the group stage.

In other words, at least 10 to 20 million euros to start with!

This is also what Yang Huan heard from many managements at the meeting just now, that is how to ensure the competitiveness of the teams in their respective leagues and continue to reach the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

And Yang Huan also promised that the group will invest a sum of money to improve the training bases, stadiums and supporting commercial facilities around the stadiums of each team. team competitiveness.

Therefore, after the implementation of group operation, overall, it is thriving.

"Okay, very good!" Yang Huan nodded after hearing Zhao Yuanfang's report.

"Yuan Fang, you need to complete this matter as soon as possible. It is already the beginning of August, and there is not much time until the end of the transfer period, so you must hurry up. Let them submit a list of signings from each team. You Tell them it's mostly young players."

Yang Huan's positioning for teams such as Ajax was originally to train young players.

Therefore, he does not expect these teams to perform well. Even, to a certain extent, whether they can enter the Champions League is not the point. How to control the team's operating costs and cultivate more talents is the key .

As for the funds, the top leagues can sell just one player, which is enough for them to operate for a year.

Therefore, Yang Huan didn't pay much attention to it.

At this moment, someone rang the doorbell outside the hotel room.

"Who is it?" Sun Yue was a little surprised, got up immediately, and walked over to open the door.

It's so late, who else is coming?
