Chapter 230 Planning
Sensi didn't care much about Hugo's righteous words, just as Hugo didn't care about his words. There are both hostility and cooperation in the football world. Sensi still remembers that more than a year ago, Trapani and Milan had a good relationship. Milan actually spent 5 million euros to acquire an unknown Victor. Colleny, which was an unreasonable move in itself.
Later, everyone dug out the final secret. It turned out that Hugo International Investment Company and Finning West had a cooperation.
Sensi would rather believe that Hugo just wanted to make a choice that was beneficial to him in terms of broadcasting fees, rather than really breaking up with the big club. In this regard, Sensi felt that Hugo was fundamentally different from himself.
Sensi would never sell Roma's players to the three northern powers unless he was desperate!
"Gigi, I'm very interested in your proposal! I still have many friends in the football circle! But I want to know how much benefit this will bring to Roma?!" Franco Sensi asked bluntly.
"Benefits?! The benefit is fairness! Roma's situation will no longer be as difficult as it is now. Small clubs have money, so they can naturally increase their strength. They can create difficulties for the league, instead of always being the top three in the north! If Roma has that ability, for example, to compete for the championship, you can get more money instead of always being one level lower than them! Winning the championship means more money, which means Roma has the ability to continue to strengthen its strength!" Hugo said. If the basic live broadcast fee is distributed, Roma will definitely get less money than they get now. For Roma, the benefit is fairness.
It doesn't matter if the starting point is a little worse than the top three in the north. As long as they can win a championship, they can have money to continue to strengthen their strength and maintain their competitiveness. Even if they can't continue to win the championship, at least the fluctuations in the rankings may not be too big. Of course, this expectation itself is just a pie in the sky. There are many factors for winning the championship, such as good management, excellent players, coaches who can discover potential, etc.
The pie in the sky may eventually become reality. The Sensi family should be able to clearly feel the benefits of this. They also won the championship in 2000-2001. However, their broadcasting fees were not as high as those of the three northern teams. Even if they won the championship, they were not as good as them. As a result, they could not continue to invest in the next season. Now Roma is in a difficult situation. It can be predicted that if it continues like this, Roma will soon fall behind and will not be much better than their fellow city brothers Lazio.
This is what Hugo said about fairness. Of course, there is no absolute fairness. The three northern teams are still stronger than the southern teams such as Roma in overall strength. Even if they want to overthrow the three northern teams, they may need some luck.
Franco Sensi fell into deep thought.
"Mr. Sensi, please forgive me for being blunt! Is there any better choice for you in this situation?!" Franza interrupted Franco Sensi's thoughts.
Roma really has no better choice. The era of the Seven Sisters in Italian football is about to pass, and the Three Kingdoms will become the theme again. This is the trend. There are almost no teams in Italian football that want to reach the financial background of Milan and Juventus.
If Roma wants to win the championship again, it has to invest, but the Sensi family has no money. They don't want to supply the team through their endless transfusions. This is human nature. Football costs a lot.
What to do if there is no money to invest? They can only find ways to weaken the money of the three major teams in the north and stand on the side of small and medium-sized clubs. As Hugo said, letting small teams have money and strength may create chaos, and Roma may still have hope.
If the Sensi family is willing to give up Roma, they can also take another way, handing the club over to a wealthy man who is willing to invest, so that the next person can invest money to strengthen Roma's strength and compete for the championship, but Sensi is very reluctant. He doesn't want to give up his beloved Roma unless he has no choice.
For small clubs, Hugo always talks about money, which can bring new benefits to small clubs. For a team like Roma, money is not the main thing. Hugo knows that the Sensi family is always thinking about making Roma the main opponent of the three northern powers. Now they seem to be, but everyone knows that this is still far from it. Hugo uses honor to impress them.
Who is Franco Sensi? He is a person who hates Milan and Juventus very much. As long as it is not good for them, he is willing to agree. Now Hugo's plan seems to be not good for them. Franco Sensi has talked with Zamparini a long time ago, and he has some calculations in his mind. Today, he will listen to Hugo's opinion.
Finally, he expressed his position.
"Gigi, we in Rome will definitely support such a decision! The football environment in Italy should be changed. The national television station simply ignores the interests of small clubs, which cannot promote the healthy development of the Italian league. Your plan is good for most clubs, and I will definitely agree with it!"
Hugo was overjoyed. The situation is different now. Now he wants to do this business, so he naturally hopes that they can stick together. If he doesn't want to do business, it doesn't matter if he can't make it happen.
I am a big family, so why should I be afraid of you? What I did was just because I couldn't stand the three powers in the north!
Uh, such evil intentions are exposed!
After returning to the hotel from Franco Sensi's house, Hugo chatted with his die-hard Franza again, and he told Franza about his plan.
"Mr. Franza, I plan to cooperate with Feiningwester to establish a sports communication company under New Media. I plan to let the new company bid for the domestic and foreign broadcast rights of Serie A!"
"I said you were so enthusiastic, but it turns out that's what you think!" Franza said teasingly.
"No, no, no, I didn't have such a plan for a long time! I had an idea before this meeting! I am very confident in this industry! If the professional leagues cannot reach an agreement on the package sale of broadcast rights, then I will We won’t do this anymore, only national TV stations have the energy to deal with individual negotiations!” Hugo waved his hand and said.
"What are you going to do?! The problem now is the top three in the north, and don't forget the Football Association!" Franza said.
"I don't know what to do?! I'm confident about Milan. If I can convince Feiningwester, then Milan won't have anything to worry about! Galliani must still listen to Berlusconi's command!" Hugo He leaned against the sofa and said that he really didn't know what to do. Whether Feiningwester could be persuaded was still a question.
Franza thought for a while and said: "Gigi, why don't you consider crowdfunding! The professional league is a professional league, and the sports communication company can absorb the ideas of the bosses behind the professional league. In this case, it may gain everyone's approval and then influence To the professional league’s decision!”
Hugo clapped his hands happily: "Mr. Franza, why didn't I think of that?! I should have done this!"
Hugo said excitedly that interests are the key to driving everyone to unite. The problem now is that in the northern team, if it can be said that the Agnelli family, the Moratti family, and the Berlusconi family can work together to form a new sports communication company, This is equivalent to taking back the live broadcast rights from the national TV station, selling it to your own company, and making money yourself. Even if the profits are not beneficial to the club, they are beneficial to the family. If it develops well, the benefits to everyone are obvious. Yes, who cares about the lost part? !
"This matter must be kept secret! Mr. Franza, I have thought of a plan. The first step is to use this plan to impress the family behind the northern team and prompt the professional league to agree on a package sale plan! The second step will be Establish a sports communication company as agreed and invite club owners to become shareholders if they are willing!" Hugo said.
Franza nodded, "This matter must be kept secret! We Italians like to mix things together. If you reveal your plan now, I'm afraid many people will mix the two things together. Together, it will be a protracted negotiation and nothing will be done!”
"Mr. Franza, you solved the problem for me! I plan to push this matter forward as soon as possible. I'll see how this old guy Moji objects this time!" Hugo said bitterly. Moji was the first person at the meeting. What a swindler!
The next day, Hugo did not return to Trapani. During this period, he needed to promote this matter. First, he went to Rome New Media Group and met with Julia Bonaparte and Garland, the chairman of New Sports Group. many.
What he wants them to consider is profits. If he wins the live broadcast rights of Serie A, what are the prospects? !
It's useless for him to be optimistic. He needs to listen to the opinions of Julia and Garlando. Garlando used to be a reporter and knew many things. Bonaparte now has some foresight. Last year, he invested in Hugo International. The company made nearly $30 million and was already starting to make a name for itself.
"I can't answer you now! I think we should do a full investigation, we need to outline the plan, and then predict whether this is a promising business. If not, we shouldn't do this!" Julia Poe Nabal said.
"You can find someone who understands this. Oh, by the way, the Premier League has mature experience. You can invite some experts to analyze and see if New Sports Group can intervene in this business. After all, the environments of the two countries are different. ! "Hugo is very cautious at this time. This is a business worth hundreds of millions of euros and cannot be done rashly.
Julia Bonaparte's suggestion is very reasonable. Hugo has the idea, but whether it will make money is another matter. Imagining that Hugo thinks it will make money does not mean that it will actually make money.
