Chapter 655 Then I Will Have No Problem!
As the editor-in-chief of the French Football Magazine said, the European Ballon d'Or is roughly divided into three different stages of development, namely, based in Europe, going global, and globalizing.
To a certain extent, these three different stages of development also represent the development of European professional football.
Based in Europe, in part because of the limitations of technology at the time, the team could only attract local fans at most.
However, with the popularity of live TV, the four major European leagues have begun to staking the world, and the famous Italian World Cup has been talked about by countless fans so far, which means that the four major leagues have begun to go global. .
Now, live TV has become popular, and the Internet era has begun. The European professional leagues have also begun to usher in globalization, and all clubs have begun to develop themselves based on a global perspective. In the past, there were only super sports players like Real Madrid. Things only the rich can do.
It’s like the TV rights of the Premier League. In the past, the biggest head was always the UK, but in the past few years, everyone has begun to realize that overseas copyright revenue is gradually catching up with the UK, and the growth rate is very amazing, and even in the near future, Certainly more than the UK mainland.
The other part is the mobile Internet platform. The growth rate of copyright revenue in this part is also very fast. The Premier League has even begun to study to separate this part of the business and vigorously promote and develop it.
On the other side of the Atlantic, the subprime mortgage crisis triggered by the United States is in full swing, endangering the world, but on this side, European football is becoming more and more prosperous, from Abramovich to the Glazer family to Thaksin, to Now the Abu Dhabi consortium, even Hicks and Gillette can be counted.
More and more international capital is pouring into European football, which means that European football is becoming more and more global.
But what followed was a whole new problem, that is, when the capital poured in, professional football began to rely more and more on investment, that is to say, it needed money.
If you have money and you are willing to invest, you may not be able to achieve success.
If there is any middle and lower team that can win the league championship, it will be a miracle that shocks the world. It may not even be seen once in decades, but at the same time, investment is still required.
It can be seen that transfer investment is the key to the achievement of professional teams.
...
Yang Yang has played in European football for a few years. He dare not say that he is an old fritter, but at least he knows everything he should know.
Florentino promised a very bright future and outlined a blueprint full of hope, but there is a very crucial question hidden in it, that is, where will his money come from?
This is a very sensitive issue, but at the same time critical.
Without understanding this, everything Florentino has promised now is nothing but a mirage.
Yang Yang secretly understood in his heart, and secretly glanced at Raiola, this kind of offending thing was always done by the agent.
The Italian fat man knew what to do, and after smiling, he looked at Florentino.
"Mr. Perez, please excuse my offense." Raiolapi said with a smile, "I have to admit that your plan is indeed very tempting, but I am very curious to know how you can operate such a large scale. The plan? First of all, it requires a huge amount of money, and secondly, I want to know, do you plan to complete it in a few years like the first phase of Galaxy Battleship, or in a short period of time?"
Raiola's question is indeed very sensitive, but it is also very critical.
Florentino still had a kind smile.
As a businessman who has been in business for many years, he clearly knew that Yang Yang and Raiola were both attracted by him, otherwise there was no need to ask such sharp questions, so instead of feeling annoyed, he was very happy.
But he did not answer in person, but assistant Redondo answered on his behalf.
"As we said before, we have learned the lessons of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship. We can't implement it in the long run. Our transfer budget in the first year will be as high as 300 million euros."
"Three hundred million?" Raiola was taken aback.
This is absolutely an astronomical sum.
Although Yang Yang was still calm on the surface, he was still startled secretly.
"This fund mainly comes from three parts." Redondo has obviously experienced storms. Speaking of the figure of 300 million euros, he feels like 30 yuan.
"We have maintained good relations with many Spanish banks for a long time, and we will borrow half of them from the banks, which is a low-interest loan of 150 million euros. As you know, we are a membership club, and many banks are very happy. Low interest, even interest-free loans to us, this is our advantage.”
Yang Yang and Raiola knew this in their hearts.
"The other part, Real Madrid currently has more than 100 million cash on its books, and then we will sell a batch of players in the team and withdraw a batch of funds. I believe that there is no problem with the transfer budget of 300 million euros. , and according to our preliminary estimates, we will be able to pay off all the bank loans in a maximum of two years.”
Later, Redondo said many more convincing plans, so that Yang Yang and Raiola could be sure that they were indeed fully prepared and very detailed plans for this.
People who are good at capital operation are different, not to mention Calderon, even compared with the two American bosses in Liverpool, Florentino's team is surprising enough.
After solving the problem of funding, Raiola asked a lot of sensitive questions, and Redondo also answered them one by one.
For example, where is Real Madrid's 300 million euro transfer budget going to be used?
Florentino's plan is to introduce a number of stars in one go, in addition to Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic, Kaka, Cesc Fabregas, Villa, David Silva, Xavi · Alonso, Mascherano, Maicon, Ribery, Tevez and a group of stars have appeared in the list that Redondo said.
These players are all top stars in the world, especially superstars like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kaka.
Redondo said that they are beginning to actively prepare and contact, how the specific progress and who to introduce still need to be finalized, but they are very confident that they can create a new star lineup next summer.
Zidane also took over at this time and played his role as Florentino's personal adviser. He believes that Real Madrid should learn from Barcelona, take local players as the core, take root in the country, and cultivate the backbone of the locker room. .
At present, the top players in Spain, Torres are in Atletico Madrid, Xavi and Iniesta are in Barcelona, Real Madrid can really introduce the estimate that is Valencia's David Silva, Villa, or Liverpool's Ha V Alonso and others.
From the tone of Redondo and Zidane, they are clearly very interested in Cesc Fabregas.
Yang Yang has been in the Premier League for two years, and he is also very aware of the strength of Arsenal's midfield.
...
Yang Yang and Raiola were very satisfied with the explanation given by the Florentino team, and even a little excited.
If it is true as they said, the introduction of a group of outstanding stars in the world will be of great benefit to Real Madrid and Yang Yang, especially the agent Raiola, who is even more excited.
If Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic can play at Real Madrid at the same time, then his agent will definitely follow suit.
However, although fat Italians are greedy for money, they are not stupid, so another sensitive topic was soon discussed.
That is Yang Yang's personal treatment.
Florentino personally promised Yang Yang that Real Madrid would definitely give Yang Yang a salary package most worthy of his status and strength, making him the highest paid superstar in the world, and would never let him suffer.
But there are still some differences between the two sides, that is, the sharing of portrait rights.
When Florentino just formed the first phase of Galaxy Battleship, portrait rights were still a very new term, and no one even noticed the role of portrait rights, so superstars including Figo, Zidane and Ronaldo were all in Concessions were made on portrait rights, all of which were given to Real Madrid.
But in the following years, especially after Beckham joined Real Madrid, everyone was surprised to discover that the portrait rights can also bring such huge benefits, and even Real Madrid made a lot of money from the portrait rights of the superstars. .
Now, Florentino wants to reorganize the second phase of Galactic Battleship, and he naturally wants to hold the portrait rights in his hands, so the plan they gave is 50%, but Raiola represents Yang Yang, He clearly opposed Real Madrid's proposal, believing that Yang Yang would not sell any portrait rights.
Redondo wanted to fight for it, but Raiola would not give in. In the end, Florentino came forward and played a roundabout, saying that these issues can be discussed slowly, not in a hurry, the key is that the two sides can reach an agreement.
"Yang, I believe that we can all sit here. We are very sincere to each other, and you all know our plan. I would like to know, what do you think?"
After listening to Florentino's words, everyone looked at Yang Yang.
Whether he succeeds or not is in his mind.
Yang Yang knew in his heart that this was an opportunity. If he missed it, Florentino would immediately change his target and revise his plan, and he might have to choose Barcelona.
Thinking of this, Yang Yang smiled and said: "Florentino, thank you very much for your always favoring me, I am also very happy to play in Real Madrid, but I have one last question."
Florentino and his team all laughed and were obviously relieved.
"you say."
"Liverpool..."
"We'll help you out," Florentino said confidently.
"There is a way?"
"We will definitely convince Liverpool's management."
Although I don't know what Florentino can do, since he said he can do it, Yang Yang must believe him.
With Florentino's status in European football, he won't gossip, otherwise, what is the difference between him and Calderon?
"Okay, then I'll be fine."
