Chapter 414 Yes, it’s Yang Huan!

"Why?"

In a mansion in West London, Abramovich was feeling depressed and had nowhere to vent his frustration as he looked at his personal assistant, Marina Granovskaia, now the CEO of Chelsea.

The poor middle-aged Russian woman lowered her head in fear when Abramovich looked at her so directly.

Just now, she was reporting some situations to the team's boss, with the International Champions Cup being the focus.

Although this is a newly opened warm-up match, the appearance fee is so generous that it is hard not to be tempted.

However, the organizers of the International Champions Cup invited almost all the top teams, except Chelsea.

So, Abramovich asked, why?

"Tell me, why?" Abramovich asked again in a deep voice.

There is a saying that goes, don't hit someone in the face.

Abramovich is not particularly interested in generous appearance fees.

It's mainly because I'm angry, you know?

Damn it, why did you invite all the top teams in Europe but not Chelsea?

What does it mean?

Do you think we Chelsea are not a wealthy club?

Or do you want to embarrass us on purpose? Make journalists and fans all over the world laugh at us?

This is too outrageous.

It's true that the aunt can tolerate it but the uncle can't

Marina Granovskia knew her boss's temper well, so she waited until he asked her the second time before she dared to answer.

"Boss, I think it's mainly because of the organizer of the International Champions Cup."

Abramovich frowned. "What do you mean?"

Perhaps Chelsea had offended too many people, and he felt a little guilty.

"The organizer of this event is a company called Miracle Media. This company has just acquired two major sports marketing companies, Infront of Switzerland and ING of the United States, and has become a giant in the industry, with unrivaled popularity at the moment."

"Well, let's get to the point." Abramovich was not interested in any of this.

"Yes, boss," Marina Granovskia agreed.

"I didn't think about it at first, but later I found out that we are all familiar with the three artists in the entertainment department of this company."

"Who?" Abramovich sensed something was wrong.

"Yoona, Psy, and Maki Horikita. In addition, Charlene Lahri was recently signed."

"Is it Yang Huan?" Abramovich was full of surprise.

Lin Yoona, she was the ultimate oriental beauty who once amazed him.

It's shocking, isn't it?

He could never have imagined that Yang Huan would actually go and organize such a competition.

Is this guy crazy?

He is the owner of a football club. Why would he not be a good rich second-generation and get involved in such nonsense?

"Yes, it's Yang Huan."

Abramovich sneered disdainfully, "Is this guy reliable?"

Looking at Yang Huan's personality, he doesn't seem like a reliable person.

Maybe Master Huan is in a good mood today and organizes a cup competition to amuse you, but he is not in a good mood tomorrow and doesn't want to play? What should we do then? Go home and play by yourself?

"Boss, they actually signed five participating rights with other teams at once."

"What?" Abramovich was surprised again.

The appearance fee is so good, why sign five players in one go?

Isn't this too rich?

Although there is no need to pay the money now, it proves that Yang Huan is definitely not a waste of effort and does not act recklessly.

This guy is serious.

Although Abramovich had many objections to Yang Huan, there was one thing he believed in.

That is, once Yang Huan gets serious, not to mention he has a sharp eye, he is also very reliable in doing things.

But it was this person who founded such an event and actually kept Chelsea out because of personal grudges.

Abramovich is feeling so regretful now, for no reason. Why did you offend Yang Huan?

Is it okay now?

People have a chance to make a fortune, so they don't want to take you along. Do you regret it?

"Boss, Pini told me that Miracle Media has now won the participation rights of six top teams. This event is inevitable."

Abramovich glanced at Marina Granovskia and felt a little nervous.

"I received news that David Gill of Manchester United went south to Southampton early this morning and met with Peter Nian."

Abramovich got angry when he heard it

"Damn it, I knew that bastard had a rebellious streak in his head, but I didn't expect him to turn traitor so quickly, forgetting his principles when he sees profit."

But in fact, he was secretly hating himself in his heart, damn it, could you not compromise so quickly?

If there is such a good thing, please let me know.

"I heard that Manchester City is also very interested, and several other European teams are also very interested in participating. The last spot is still very popular."

Abramovich sighed in his heart, there was no hope for Chelsea anyway.

But soon, he figured out what the assistant meant.

This is to make me, like David Gill, take the initiative to come to them.

Wouldn’t that make Yang Huan laugh at me?

You go if you want

Marina Granovskia understood what was going on when she saw Abramovich's expression, which looked very awkward.

Boss, it’s not that I don’t want to go, it’s mainly because I don’t have much weight in Young Master Huan’s heart.

"Boss, Miracle Media signs five-term contracts with these teams. If we can't get a spot, unless a team withdraws,

Marina Granovskia means that the number of places is limited and first come first served.

How could Abramovich not understand this?

Not to mention that this event does have great market prospects, even Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United have participated.

If Miracle Media fails, it won't matter much to the team. Anyway, they can get at least 10 million euros in appearance fees every summer, and they can travel to the United States for free.

But if the operation is successful, the other teams that failed to get the right to participate can only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

Waiting for military expansion?

Yes, there will definitely be an expansion of the army.

But by that time, the number of places for expansion will be limited and the competition will definitely be more fierce.

Everyone knows how big the American market is. Who wouldn't want to get a piece of it?

Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at it, the team that gets the quota first will definitely have an advantage.

This made Abramovich depressed.

Do I really have to take the initiative to go to Yang Huan's house to talk?

Twenty-nine-year-old Matt Higgins walked into a prominent skyscraper in Manhattan, New York, USA.

This young man, who was the executive vice president of the New York Jets, an NFL team, two months ago, now has a new title.

CEO of eb Venture Capital

Behind him is the most famous super-rich man and real estate tycoon in the United States, Stephen Ross.

Be company is just starting out and has only invested in the famous American company E, which is the organizer of the North American Invitational Tournament that has successfully held two sessions.

Strictly speaking, this event was not the idea of ​​e Company.

As an American sports marketing company, e has maintained close business relations with many top European teams including Manchester United and Real Madrid in the past few years, mainly in the American market.

Entering the new century, the American market has been increasingly valued by European top teams. More and more teams are going to the United States to participate in pre-season warm-up matches, and more and more sponsors are also involved.

e Company saw the opportunity, launched the North American Invitational Tournament, and successfully held two sessions.

It was this event that attracted the attention of Stephen Ross and Matt Higgins.

But what they want is not just this kind of loose invitational tournament and warm-up match, they hope to turn this event into an important international football event.

Starting next year

Matt Higgins is confident

This slightly plump, black-haired young man walked into the office building lobby with his head held high and headed straight towards the elevator.

At this time, there were several people waiting in front of the elevator, led by a skinny man in a suit and tie.

He was taller than Matt Higgins, but much thinner, and half of his head was bald. However, his eyes hidden behind his glasses were cold and gloomy.

He is the boss of EF, Stephen Ross.

"Good morning, Stephen." Matt Higgins grinned with his signature big mouth and greeted him with a laugh.

Stephen Ross turned his head to glance at the young Matt Higgins and just smiled faintly. He seemed to be worried and could hardly laugh.

The main reason why he valued Matt Higgins was that when he was the executive vice president of the New York Jets, he forced the promotion of social networks within the team and required all players to interact with fans frequently through social networks.

He even formulated the so-called Twitter rules

This is a very creative young man.

The elderly Stephen Ross feels that he really needs such a person around him.

So, he founded EB to specialize in venture capital, with Matt Higgins in charge.

The two stood side by side in front of the elevator door waiting.

"I just received a WeChat message from Charlie. I heard that things are not going well in Europe," Stephen Ross said with a frown on his face.

Matt Higgins was a little confused. "What's going on? Weren't we working together well before?"

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation. Charlie is already waiting upstairs," Stephen Ross sighed deeply.

Nowadays, the competitive pressure in all walks of life is increasing.

Especially in recent years, the US economy has not improved much, and almost every industry is in trouble.

Matt Higgins said nothing more.

As soon as the elevator arrived, the two walked in.

The Charlie mentioned by Stephen Ross is Charlie Tillitano, the CEO of the famous American sports marketing company e, a middle-aged American who originally looked shrewd.

But now, this middle-aged American man is pacing back and forth in an office in an office building, looking very impatient.

It was not until he heard a noise outside and someone knocked on the door that he shouted "Come in".

Stephen Ross and Matt Higgins opened the door and came in, then closed it again.

This is a very interesting combination, combining the old, the middle-aged and the young.

Normally, when the three of them get together, they always joke around, but today, no one was in the mood.

Especially seeing Charlie Tillitano's worried expression.

"What's going on, Charlie?" Stephen Ross asked as he walked in.

Matt Higgins also looked concerned.

The North American Invitational is a tournament they take very seriously, so there can be no mistakes.

"As usual, I have sent invitations to many top European teams including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United."

"Yeah," Stephen Ross nodded. This is normal. It would be abnormal not to send it.

"But……"

"But what?" Stephen Ross urged impatiently.

Charlie Tillitano spread his hands, "But... they all refused."

"What?" Matt Higgins was so surprised that he lost his voice.

Even Stephen Ross, who was mature and prepared, was shocked.

"Everyone refused?" Stephen Ross asked tremblingly, "How is this possible?"

Charlie Tilitano smiled bitterly but nodded very affirmatively.

“Yes, all rejected.”

After a pause, he explained the reason.

"Because someone planned to organize an event called the International Champions Cup in the United States before us."
