Chapter 639 Your whole family is rich!
"Fei Lan, it's me, Yang Huan!"
"Master Huan, why are you calling at this time? Could it be..."
"Well, Jorge Mendes is as smart as a devil. Ha, he blocked me directly at the Landmark Hotel!"
Talking about this, Yang Huan still had a smile on his face.
The Portuguese agent is indeed very shrewd, but Yang Huan is not a fool either.
"Haha, Master Huan, how did the talk go?" Soriano asked with concern on the phone.
Yang Huan laughed and nodded, "Okay, I've drafted an agreement with him, and I think he'll come looking for you tomorrow!"
There was a ding from Soriano's phone on the other end of the line, followed by a wry smile from Soriano.
"Master Huan, there is no need to wait until tomorrow."
"What do you mean?" Yang Huan vaguely guessed something and also found it funny.
"Haha, he just sent me a text message saying that he is already at Heathrow Airport and will arrive in Madrid soon. He said that he wants to complete the transfer tonight!"
When Yang Huan heard this, he also laughed, "This guy is really impatient!"
"It's no wonder he's like that. The transfer fee is tens of millions. Just the commission alone can make several million. How can he not be anxious?"
Soriano felt that he should be anxious.
Although Chelsea has certainly had some private contact with Mandzukic, it has not yet reached the point of negotiating personal treatment.
That is to say, after reaching an agreement with Atletico Madrid, they still have to discuss the personal treatment contract with Mandzukic's agent.
The latter is precisely the most troublesome and tedious part of a transfer, because there are a lot of terms and details to discuss. Therefore, it is understandable that Mendes wants to quickly deal with Atletico Madrid before talking to Mandzukic.
"By the way, Master Huan, how much is the transfer fee?"
"Seventy million euros!"
Soriano was not surprised either, as Yang Huan had previously revealed that the reserve price was 70 million euros.
"This guy Mendes is really a snob. When he came to Calderón, he acted like a miser and refused to give up the transfer fee. But when he met Young Master Huan, he actually offered 70 million euros. It's outrageous!"
At the end, Atlético Madrid's CEO couldn't help laughing.
In fact, this is very normal, because Yang Huan is the kind of person who can make up his mind.
This is like going to a 4S store to buy a car.
If you just go in and casually look around and talk to the salesperson, the price usually won't go down.
Their eloquence and eyesight have been honed through serving countless clients. Who can compare with them?
But on the other hand, if you reveal your determination to drive away tonight as long as the price is right, people will immediately become diligent. As long as you have a little patience, any price can be negotiated. If it doesn't work, send in the manager, and if that still doesn't work, go to the next level.
In the end you will find that, damn, it’s a lot cheaper!
"You, don't complain. I won't touch a single cent of these 70 million euros. You can arrange it yourselves!"
"Really?" Soriano's eyes lit up.
This is 70 million euros, which is not a small amount of money. Countless people cannot earn this much money in their entire lives.
"It costs money to build a new stadium, it costs money to expand the training base, and also, Atletico Madrid's youth training camp needs to be renovated and improved, all of which require money."
Soriano was so excited.
What is a good boss?
Master Huan, this is a good boss, a model of a great boss, right?
"Ferran, tell Tesiki that the youth training camp must be well managed, it is extremely important!" Yang Huan once again solemnly warned.
Soriano understood and nodded solemnly in agreement, saying that he would tell Begiristain immediately after returning.
"Okay, nothing more to do, that's it!"
After saying that, Yang Huan hung up the phone.
At this moment, he was sitting in the back seat of his stretched Lagonda Conqueror, driving on the motorway from London to Southampton.
Yang Huan’s current football map is mainly divided into two steps, one is the International Champions Cup and the European Youth Champions League.
The former has been successfully held for two sessions and has successfully established its foothold and made a name for itself.
With the decline of the North American Invitational this year, teams such as AC Milan and Chelsea have announced that they will no longer participate. I am afraid that this RS company's event will be aborted.
Even this company is likely to declare bankruptcy.
This year is also the second year of the European Youth Champions League. From the current perspective, it is still in the stage of losing money to gain publicity, with a loss of at least 10 or 20 million every year. As for when it will be profitable, it is not clear yet and there is no timetable.
However, Yang Huan is still full of confidence in the future of this event.
As soon as the UEFA Youth Champions League is established, he will start considering launching other competitions.
After all, events are copyrights. The scarcity of copyrights can be easily seen from the rising broadcasting fees of major leagues such as the Premier League, La Liga, and the Champions League. And it will continue to grow by leaps and bounds in the next few years.
Another step has already been taken, with Southampton, Atletico Madrid and Monaco, plus Tottenham Hotspur in which Yang Huan holds shares. Yang Huan consciously wants to build these teams into a football league.
This alliance is not intended to follow the G14 route, but to better allocate internal resources.
Let’s take the most core example, youth training.
In Yang Huan's opinion, with the transfer fees of famous stars rising steadily, it has now reached a very scary level.
A Hulk can be sold for 50 million, a Cavani can be sold for 60 to 70 million, and a Mandzukic can be sold for 70 million.
Who dares to say that this transfer market is not crazy?
As the saying goes, everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches the extreme. Nowadays, there is a general tendency among Europe's top teams to scour the world for talented newcomers.
If we say that the way for football stars to become successful in the past was to make their mark, then use mid- or lower-level teams as a stepping stone, and then go to top clubs after growing to a certain level, then now the middle link has been omitted.
The reason is that the wealthy teams think that I can do youth training myself, so there is no need for me to pay such a high transfer fee for youth training. Moreover, for young players, no matter I am attractive, have strong youth training capabilities or have higher salary, I have more advantages than your mid- and lower-level teams.
So in the past few years, we can often see some rookies who are 18 or 19 years old, who have just started to show their talents and then immediately move to top clubs.
Of course, there are also many people like Canales, who are talented but cannot get opportunities in top teams, or for various reasons, eventually lead to the incident of Zhongyong being injured.
But Yang Huan believes that professional football is cold-blooded and will not have the slightest mercy or sympathy for such an injured Zhongyong.
What they want is the result!
Therefore, in the next few years, the focus of recruiting players around the world will gradually shift towards emerging new players.
In this case, youth training is crucial!
This is also the reason why Yang Huan has invested heavily in youth training every year after acquiring Southampton, Monaco and Atletico Madrid.
It is quite competitive for multiple teams to cooperate in the field of youth training by optimizing internal resource allocation.
Especially a team like Southampton, which has strong data analysis and deduction capabilities.
When thinking of youth training, Yang Huan couldn't help but think of Ajax.
As the team with the strongest youth training capabilities in the world, Yang Huan is indeed very interested in Ajax.
If this team can be incorporated into his football map, it will greatly enhance the strength of the entire football league.
It’s a pity that even now, this team is still living in the shadow of their past glory.
Thinking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help but sigh.
Daniel Levy, who was sitting opposite him, looked a little strange.
"Master Huan, didn't you just make a killing from Abramovich? Why are you sighing?"
Yang Huan shook his head and asked jokingly, "Oh, do you think it's easy for me to kill people? Do you know that Abramovich was killed by me? He was very painful, but my heart hurts more than his!"
Daniel Levy and Hamad looked at each other and almost gave each other the middle finger.
Master Huan, this person cannot be so shameless.
Don't kill someone bloody here and then turn around and act aggrieved!
"I'm telling you, I'm teaching Abramovich how to be a good person, do you understand?"
Daniel Levy and Hamad burst out laughing.
Anyway, no one can defeat Young Master Huan in an argument, and he can always find legitimate reasons and excuses for everything.
"Master Huan, my father asked me to ask you something!" Hamad suddenly asked.
Seeing him like this, Daniel Levi immediately became concerned.
"What's up?"
"You know, even though we spent so much money this summer and attracted the attention of the world's media, my father still thinks that the advertising effect is still not strong enough, so he wants to ask, how about we do something big?"
"What?" Yang Huan's eyes almost popped out.
Daniel Levy on the side was completely dumbfounded.
My god, this has cost two or three hundred million, and you, the rich people in Qatar, still don’t feel satisfied?
Want another ruthless move?
"Heh, could it be that you still want to buy Messi? Or Cristiano Ronaldo?" Yang Huan laughed.
He even wondered why these rich people had so much money?
Is it really so much that we can’t spend it all?
But as soon as he finished speaking, Hamad smiled and asked, "Is it okay?"
Looking at him, it seems that he really wants to buy these two players.
Yang Huan could only smile bitterly. He swore that from today on, if anyone called him a rich man, he would never forgive him.
Who is the rich one?
You are the rich one, your mother is a rich one, your father is a rich one, your whole family is rich one!
Compared with this group of rich people from Qatar, Yang Huan felt that he was nothing at all!
"Okay, of course!" Yang Huan was filled with envy and jealousy.
“Is this true or false?”
"Nonsense!" Yang Huan directly hit back, "As long as you are willing to pay, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo can definitely be bought, but whether it can achieve the desired effect and realize the value is hard to say!"
"Yes, Master Hamad!" Daniel Levy also shook his head.
At that moment just now, he felt that his little heart could not bear it.
"The transfer of superstars like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is often not as simple as it seems. It's easy to pay 100 million or 200 million for a transfer, but the key lies in the star's salary and the butterfly effect brought about by the transfer. These are the key!"
Buying and selling stars is never a one-time deal, because you have to be able to afford the purchase and also be able to maintain them.
Not to mention that after buying a superstar, the team's salary structure will be broken. When the time comes, the players will ask for salary increases one by one. Will you give them to them?
Manchester City’s salary structure has not been controlled yet. Why?
When stars like Yaya Toure, Aguero and David Silva were introduced, the damage was so severe that it became a vicious cycle.
The stars got high salaries, and the players in the second tier felt that it was unfair and demanded a raise. If the players in the second tier got a raise, the players in the third and fourth tiers had to follow suit.
When the other players have increased their salaries, it is time for the top stars to renew their contracts. So when they see that everyone else has increased their salaries, they also ask for an increase. If they don’t, then I will be the same as the second-tier players? I am a shitty star!
So, the salary kept rising, and finally the club's salary soared like a rocket!
