Chapter 675 Master Huan is short of money!
Call the newspaper and tell on them?
Jason Levine and Steven almost laughed out loud when they heard what Tohir said.
How could this Indonesian be so naive?
Especially when he saw that Tohir actually took out his cell phone to make a call, Jason Levine immediately stopped him.
"Okay, okay, Eric, you're serious!"
Tohir's hand was held, and he was a little angry. "Of course, I don't believe it, but there is nothing we can do to him. Once the newspapers reveal it, UEFA will have to intervene. Yang Huan owns two teams by himself, which is enough to make him suffer!"
Hearing him say this, Steven just laughed out loud.
"What? Was I wrong?" Tohir was depressed.
The UEFA rules clearly state that one person is not allowed to own two teams at the same time.
Besides, wasn’t there a consortium that took UEFA to court over this matter?
This shows that this rule is quite strict.
Jason Levine pressed down his hand, snatched the phone, and threw it on the table with a funny look on his face.
"You are right, absolutely right, but so what?"
Tohir was a little surprised. Why did even Jason Levine say that?
"UEFA's rules are based on the principle of fair competition, but in reality, are these rules useful? Apart from that one high-profile lawsuit last century, have you ever seen UEFA use them again?"
I was speechless when I asked Hilton, as if I had never seen it used again.
Steven nodded, took over Jason Levine's words, and continued: "Jason is right. The rules apply to the last century. The main purpose is to prevent match-fixing. It is not aimed at people like Yang Huan at all."
"So, in the past few years, Abramovich once owned Chelsea and the Russian Premier League team at the same time, and was able to indirectly influence teams such as PSV Eindhoven. The Abu Dhabi consortium was even more ruthless. After acquiring Manchester City, it acquired the debt-ridden Portsmouth, but sold Portsmouth to someone else six months later."
"Italy has the Pozzo family, Germany and Eastern Europe have the Red Bull Group, and the shares between Paris Saint-Germain and Malaga are also entangled. There is news that the major shareholder of Tottenham Hotspur is the Prime Minister of Qatar. What is the relationship between these three teams? Why doesn't UEFA investigate? Why doesn't it ban it?"
Tohir really had no way to answer this question, because it was beyond his understanding.
"I might as well tell you directly!" Steven seemed to be hitting Tohir.
"UEFA supports this kind of capital operation, because if professional football is to develop, it must be done this way. So we have seen that in the past few years, capital has poured in, and it is precisely when the four major European leagues have developed most rapidly. UEFA's attitude is that capital operation is allowed, but fair competition must be guaranteed, and debt must be controlled!"
"As for the European media, professional football is their biggest source of news. Good relations with clubs are the prerequisite for them to obtain news resources. So sometimes, they know very well what can and cannot be reported. In the past, Ferguson relied on his influence to suppress countless scandals at Manchester United."
"Looking at it from the other side, even if we know it was Yang Huan, so what? Do we have evidence to prove it? He must have completed the acquisition of Inter Milan through special channels and even avoided UEFA's rules. You can't do anything to him at all."
When Tohir heard this, he immediately got angry. "Steven, according to what you said, are we just going to let him be so arrogant?"
"What else? If we expose him, our losses will be even greater than his. By then, the entire European professional football world will regard us as outsiders who have broken the rules, and it will be difficult for us to continue to gain a foothold here."
Steven smiled coldly, "Look at Chelsea. Why after so many years, the European giants can accept Southampton but not Chelsea? Because Chelsea broke their rules back then!"
Even Tohir had to be wary of this.
Every industry has its own unspoken rules, which everyone accepts and follows.
Even though people in this industry seem to attack each other, or even fight to the death for profit on weekdays, if someone dares to break these unspoken rules, everyone in the industry, regardless of friend or foe, will aim their guns at the destroyer.
The same is true in European professional football!
Jason Levine laughed a few times to ease the atmosphere. "Yang Huan is indeed quite amazing. In three years, Southampton has not only integrated into the European professional football world, but has also been accepted by the top group of people and become a part of them. This is not something that anyone can do."
Steven also nodded continuously, "Yes, Abramovich tried his best to get in, and the Middle Eastern tycoons behind Manchester City also tried every means to pave the way for them to get in, but the only one missing was Yang Huan."
"Ha, I heard that not long ago, the famous American company RS announced its dissolution, and the company's top executives collectively jumped to Miracle Media. From now on, Miracle Media will dominate the American summer warm-up games."
Jason Levine spoke with envy and jealousy, and his tone was even more sour.
"Such a big piece of cake was swallowed up by him in one gulp. The International Champions Cup was a success, and they are going to expand and enter the Asian market. In time, Miracle Media will be another UEFA!"
Jason Levine's words really stimulated Tohir.
He is also a rich second generation, but he found that no matter in which aspect, he was obviously played by Yang Huan.
"There is a question that has always puzzled me." Steven said with a frown.
"What's the problem?" Jason Levine smiled at his assistant.
"I've learned about Yang Huan's investments over the past few years. I'm curious. Many companies can barely break even, but many are still burning through money. Especially in major tournaments like the International Champions Cup and the European Youth Champions League, they don't make any money at all, and are even losing money. Where does he get so much money to burn?"
"These are all hundreds of millions of dollars of money. Where does he get the money?"
Jason Levine shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid only Yang Huan knows this!"
Steven also felt helpless. If he could meet Yang Huan, he would really like to ask him if there was any way to make money quickly, and introduce it to his brothers. After all, making money these days is too slow and tiring.
It’s so satisfying to spend money. I can buy an Inter Milan team in no time!
"Let's get back to business!" Tohir couldn't understand their joke.
"Now that Inter Milan has been acquired by Yang Huan, what should we do?"
"What should I do?" Jason Levine shook his head and laughed, "What else can I do?"
Steven couldn't help but smile, "Now there are only two options before us, either we continue playing, or we go our separate ways."
The three of them are united in interests and come together because they have a common goal.
They had previously planned to acquire Inter Milan, but now even their target has been snatched away by someone else, so they have no choice but to make a new choice.
"Although my opponent is Yang Huan, I don't mind having some fun with Yang Huan. It's my honor!" Jason Levine sneered, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
He had never met an opponent in the United States, but he was defeated so badly in his first battle in Europe. He also wanted to meet Yang Huan again.
"Got a target?" Steven's eyes lit up.
"There's more than just Inter Milan in Milan!" Jason Levine laughed.
"You mean... AC Milan?"
Jason Levine smiled and said nothing, but turned to look at Tohir.
Feeling Jason Levine's gaze, Tohir hesitated for a moment and became ruthless.
"Now that we're here and have the money ready, we can't possibly go back empty-handed, right?"
This time, the three people's goals became the same again.
"There's a problem!" Steven still frowned.
"Tell me about it." Jason Levine nodded.
"AC Milan's valuation is quite high, and Berlusconi is unwilling to sell all his shares. Besides, even if he is willing to sell, we can't afford it. But even if we only buy half, we still don't have enough funds."
Jason Levine nodded, “Then follow the old rules and recruit people!
"I understand!" Steven also nodded.
Tohir hummed, "I have no objection either, but my request is to follow the original plan!"
"Of course!" Jason Levine agreed without hesitation.
The so-called original plan was that when they cooperated to acquire Inter Milan, Thohir would come forward, and Thohir also took the opportunity to bring in Indonesian local tycoon Roslani, who was also quite interested in investing in football.
Seeing that his two partners had no objections, Jason Levine clapped his hands vigorously and stood up.
"Okay, since everyone has no objection, then we'll make this decision!"
Steven and Tohir also stood up and nodded in agreement.
"Steven, you must immediately draw up a new plan and learn about AC Milan's situation. You will continue to stay in Milan and maintain contact with AC Milan."
"I understand!" Steven nodded in agreement. "I really like the cycling atmosphere in Milan!"
The other two couldn't help but smile after hearing this.
This guy can't go anywhere without his bicycle.
"Eric, you will be responsible for contacting Rosslani and recruiting as many trustworthy people as possible to participate."
"OK, I can do it!" Tohir nodded in agreement.
"As for me, when I return to the United States, I will contact several interested wealthy people. I believe they will be interested in our plan!" Jason Levine said with a confident smile.
Even though we are experiencing an economic crisis now, there are actually a lot of rich people. Some even have so much money that they have no place to invest, more than usual.
Therefore, for people like Jason Levine, the more severe the economic crisis, the more opportunities there are and the easier it is to attract partners. Therefore, he is very confident that he will be able to attract partners after returning to the United States.
Next, the three people conducted in-depth discussions and research on changing goals and adjusting plans.
After that, the three of them left the hotel and went their separate ways.
When the three of them were in Italy, using Yang Huan as their imaginary enemy, discussing how to revitalize AC Milan after the acquisition, how to run this Italian club with the highest market value, and even how to compete with Berlusconi for the operating and management rights of the club, Yang Huan, who was far away in the UK, received a call from Zhao Yuanfang.
As soon as the call was connected, Zhao Yuanfang smiled and reported a piece of good news on the other end of the phone.
"Master Huan, I have already taken care of everything you asked me to do!"
"It's all settled, so quickly?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.
"Hehe, they have been drooling over us for a long time. As soon as we let go, they all pounced on us like wolves and tigers. How can it not be fast?"
"Well, very good, not bad. Now I have money to spend again!"
"Uh..." Zhao Yuanfang on the other end of the phone suddenly broke out in sweat.
It turns out that Master Huan also has times when he is short of money!
