Chapter 442: Still Resigning?
"Madrid has already lost two consecutive bids to host the Olympics. Even if it applies for the 2020 Olympics, it will still fail."
At the construction site of the Pennetta Stadium, Yang Huan looked at the flat land, which was overgrown with weeds. He felt helpless. Atletico Madrid was poor, and the Madrid government was also poor.
I heard that this place has been idle for more than half a year.
The foundation of the stadium has been completed, and its scale is designed according to the main stadium of the Olympic Games, with a capacity of at least 70,000 people. It is also equipped with an athletics stadium and a running track, which are standard features of the main stadium of the Olympic Games.
But now, everywhere I look, there is grass
There were more than a dozen people standing next to Yang Huan. The Spaniards among them felt a little embarrassed when they heard Young Master Huan's judgment.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the main reason why the International Olympic Committee is unwilling to give the right to host the Olympic Games to Spain is that they are worried that Spain, as the hardest-hit area of the European debt crisis, does not have the ability to do so.
Look, the Pennetta Stadium is proof of this
You can't even have a main stadium, and you still want to host the Olympics?
"One of the things we discussed with the Madrid government this time was the Pennetta Stadium"
Yang Huan said this in a very affirmative tone that left no room for negotiation.
"We don't want the Pennetta Stadium, we want the Pennetta Stadium, otherwise don't demolish the Calderón Stadium"
After hearing this, some people around nodded heavily.
At first glance, the Pennetta Stadium and the Pennetta Stadium seem similar, but in fact they are very different.
A sports field is one that has an athletic field and a running track, but a football field does not need that. It is a special field for football and rugby.
Anyone familiar with football knows that the home atmosphere and fan viewing experience at a football stadium with an athletic field and a running track are quite poor.
Think about it, with big arc top areas at both ends and a wide running track in the middle, can the atmosphere be good? Can you enjoy watching the game?
From Master Huan's words, everyone understood one thing, which was that it would not be the main stadium for the Olympic Games.
Anyway, I don't think your Madrid bid will be successful. I'm not interested in playing with you.
As for not allowing the demolition of the Calderón Stadium, that is also simple.
Spain is a country that is well-known for protecting private property. If Atletico Madrid disagrees, the Spanish government can forget about demolishing the Calderon Stadium. If it forces it, it will have to consider the views and ideas of so many foreign investors.
"Master Huan is right. In Madrid, the Colchoneros have always had a good market, with an average attendance of over 45,000 per game, an attendance rate of around 80%. Once they move into the new stadium and add supporting facilities, their match-day operating income will surely increase as well."
Yang Huan turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was Ferran Soriano, the former vice president of Barcelona, whom he had just poached through a headhunting company.
Ferran Soriano is a native of Barcelona and graduated from the famous Spanish EADF Business School. In 2003, he and Rosell became Laporta's right-hand man, serving as vice president of the team, in charge of marketing and finance.
It was during his tenure that Barcelona emerged from Gaspart's dark period and ushered in the glory of the Dream II from heavy debt, and the team's management also reached its peak.
But in 2008, Soriano finally chose to leave Barcelona because of his differences with Laporta.
After leaving Barcelona, Soriano became the president of Iberia, but the company was heavily in debt. Even though Soriano worked diligently, he was unable to reverse the situation, and he himself had been looking for an opportunity to return to football.
At the beginning of the year, Manchester City had contact with Soriano, but the Spaniard finally chose to accept Yang Huan's invitation.
The reason is simple: he is more familiar with Spain and is more reluctant to leave his homeland.
Also accepting Yang Huan's invitation were Barcelona's former technical director Begiristain and former Barcelona marketing director Esteve Calzada.
Both of them joined Barcelona in 2003. The former was responsible for competition and transfers, and directly created the Dream Team II and Dream Team III. It is particularly worth mentioning that Begiristain made great efforts to arrange for Guardiola to join the Barcelona youth team and support him to the first team.
As for Esteve Calzada, he is considered the founder of Messi's business team, even now.
Soriano valued Calzada's ability in marketing and promotion, so he recommended him to Yang Huan.
The three will now serve as Atletico Madrid's CEO, technical director and market development director respectively.
Yang Huan smiled at Soriano in a mature manner and pointed around the stadium. "Look, the original Olympic Park plan had a total of 1,800 acres. The land has been leveled, but now it's idle."
As Young Master Huan swept his finger, everyone turned their bodies and looked into the distance.
These 1,800 acres of land are distributed on both sides of the M0 highway, with convenient transportation, otherwise they would not have been used to build the Olympic Park.
"We intend to propose to the Madrid City Government that we purchase the land on both sides of the M0 highway that was originally used to build the Olympic Park. We intend to purchase the 1,000-acre land on the east side to build commercial housing."
"We plan to build a new iconic stadium on the west side of the 800 acres, and the rest will be used to build hotels, shopping centers, office buildings and a series of other supporting facilities."
"In response to the city government's call for a green city, 450 acres will be used to build large parking lots, roads,
Greening parks and squares.”
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this.
A plot of land of 1,800 acres can be taken just like that?
We need to build a new stadium, as well as hotels, shopping malls, parks and squares. How much money will it cost?
Yang Huan glanced at the crowd and found that Diego Simeone had appeared in the crowd at some point.
When did this guy come?
But at this time he didn't have time to think too much. He just wanted to say this on purpose to let everyone present understand that the Yang Group took over Atletico Madrid not to make a quick buck and leave, but to operate the business for a long time.
As for those smart people, they will soon realize that the Yang Group is following Florentino's path.
In 2001, Florentino sold Real Madrid's old sports city to the government for 480 million euros. It was precisely because of this money that Real Madrid was able to introduce superstars such as Zidane, Ronaldo and Beckham, sounding the clarion call for the first phase of the Galacticos.
Where is the old sports city?
Just north of the Bernabeu Stadium, although there are now four skyscrapers built there, which have become Madrid's famous landmark buildings, the Four Towers Commercial District, but ten years ago it was equivalent to a suburb and was not as prosperous as it is today.
In terms of size, Real Madrid's old sports city covers an area of 165 acres, while the Calderon Stadium is only about 100 acres, which is definitely not as good as the old sports city. However, Atletico Madrid's stadium is closer to the core area of Madrid and is definitely more valuable.
Now, when the Euro was so valuable, you spent nearly 500 million to buy that piece of land from Real Madrid. Now the Euro has depreciated, and the land in the suburbs of Madrid is not valuable anymore. If you want to buy land in the core city from me,
But how much are you prepared to pay?
More importantly, the Yang Group is not just about buying and selling land, it also has a whole set of huge plans behind it.
For example, the main target of residential construction is Chinese overseas investors; the main target of hotel and shopping mall construction is overseas tourists, led by Chinese.
This is definitely of great appeal to the Spanish government, which has made attracting Chinese tourists a top priority.
Sometimes when Yang Huan thinks about it, he really finds it funny.
Qin Yongming and Qian Duoduo were clearly sitting on a pile of gold mines, but they didn't see it.
As for Yang Huan's intelligence, it was naturally obtained from Florentino during his stay in the United States.
To do this, he paid Carvajal to transfer to Real Madrid for 20 million euros, and in exchange, Neymar and Strootman would inform Florentino in advance once they decided to transfer.
It was precisely because of Florentino's information, and after Yang Huan had Zhao Yuanfang confirm it, that he let his father lead the group on this trip.
So, these days, those who just play football are almost destined to see their grandmas.
Those who really know how to play are just using football as a medium; what they are really playing with is capital.
Just like Abramovich bought Chelsea, Glazer bought Manchester United, Qatar bought Paris Saint-Germain, Abu Dhabi bought Manchester City, Florentino bought Real Madrid, all of which are in this model.
The difference is that some people play well, some play badly, some play low-key, and some play high-profile.
But deep down, it's all like this
"Okay, it's windy here, let's go back."
In the stunned eyes of everyone, Yang Huan turned around and walked towards Diego Simeone with a smile.
The three Argentines who had originally planned to resign were obviously shocked to see Yang Huan.
Because they found that the new bosses were not the two idiots they had imagined.
The new boss who appeared in front of them turned out to be the boss of Southampton.
The legendary Chinese tycoon
"Diego, long time no see." Yang Huan walked up to Diego Simeone with a smile.
Of course Simone knew Yang Huan, not that they had met him, but he had seen him in the newspaper.
Nowadays, if you are in the football circle and you don’t know Yang Huan, you are a genius.
"What's the matter? What do you want to talk to me about?" Yang Huan still had a smile on his face.
He could see that Simone had just heard the overall plan of the Yang Group.
It is no secret that the Spanish government and the Madrid government received a detailed report on this plan submitted by the Yang Group a few days ago.
Moreover, today, when Yang Wenfeng and Zhang Ning meet with the Spanish Prime Minister, the Mayor of Madrid and others, they will also have a more in-depth discussion on this matter, but it can be seen that the Spaniards are still very interested.
Who made the Spanish economy suffer from the European debt crisis?
Diego Simeone didn't expect it to be Yang Huan. All the plans he had in mind were completely disrupted.
Are you still resigning?
Diego Simeone glanced at his two assistants on the left and right and found that they were also in a dilemma.
If they had not heard of Yang Huan's plan before, they might have thought about resigning.
But now Yang Huan has made it clear to everyone present that we are going to invest heavily here, and we are not short of money.
Resigning at this time?
Diego Simeone seemed to have caught the intention to retreat from the eyes of his two right-hand men.
Yes, we have just gone through the hard times and good times are coming. Should we resign at this time?
Silly pen
But just when Diego, Simeone and the other two were trying to change the subject, Jimenezga on the side blurted out.
"Boss, these three people are here to resign."
Everyone in the audience was stunned
Yang Huan was also surprised. Resign?
Diego Simeone, Borges and Ortega almost cried
It's all my fault. Why did I tell Jimenezca my true feelings in the car just now?
I'm depressed
I still have the resignation letter in my hand. Who would believe me if I said I wasn't here to resign?
It's over, it's over, I really screwed myself this time
Oh my God, please don't play with me like this.
