Chapter 755 Youth Training Expert
"Do you know? In our China, the great Chairman Mao once said a very wise saying."
After laughing, Yang turned around and motioned Thomas Lake and Beiersdorf to go back to the living room and sit down.
"That is, political power comes from the barrel of a gun!"
The three of them returned to the living room, sat down as host and guest, and Yang Huan began to explain with a smile.
"In today's Hamburg club, whoever wants to control this football team needs two things. One is money. Whoever controls the money and finances controls the club!"
This is not just true in football clubs, it's probably true in all walks of life, right?
After hearing this, Thomas Lake began to understand what Master Huan meant.
"Hamburg is in financial difficulty right now, Thomas. Go and make some preparations. I will transfer the money directly to Deutsche Bank and you will be in charge of the operation. When they need money, they will naturally come to you!"
Thomas Lake has experienced working in many large international companies. How could he be a rigid guy?
He is no stranger to the so-called infighting within big companies.
After hearing what Master Huan said, Thomas Lake immediately understood what he should do.
To put it simply, this money is the carrot dangling in front of donkeys like Khov.
"In addition, we need to know how to use the media to build momentum. Everyone knows how bad the Hamburg board is, even the fans know it clearly. In this case, we need to take the commanding position from the beginning, control the situation, and win over the media and fans."
Speaking of this, Yang Huan smiled confidently. This was his strong point.
"Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to help you when the time comes, but you must know that the fans' impression of a club, the board members, and the players depends largely on how the media reports!"
"I understand, Master Huan!" Thomas Lake nodded in agreement.
Yang Huan also knew that Thomas Lake had just changed jobs and was still unfamiliar with how to run a club, but that didn't matter.
Precisely because he was a stranger, he would have little responsibility if anything went wrong with the burger.
"Thomas!" Yang Huan once again stared at Thomas Lake and warned him solemnly, "Remember, the reason why the group of guys who just left surrendered to us is because they need our money and our resources. It doesn't mean that they really obey us in their hearts."
Thomas Lake felt a little ashamed after hearing this.
Fortunately, he thought that Young Master Huan didn't understand. It turned out that Young Master Huan saw it more clearly than anyone else.
"I've read some of the materials you gave me before, and I also know that you have established good connections during your time at Allianz, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Deutsche Bank. You plan to make a big splash in Hamburg, and I fully support this. I can even promise that if the time is right, I will use everything I have to support you!"
Thomas Lake heard it and said, "Master Huan, do you think now is not the right time?"
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "If you help Hamburger increase its revenue now, and if you are really confident that the revenue can double in two years as you said, then I ask you, when Hamburger becomes rich, will those guys still want to sell their shares?"
Thomas Lake and Beiersdorf immediately understood.
Master Huan has it very clear here. Money must be made, and increasing the revenue from hamburgers is also necessary, but not now.
When the hamburger belongs completely to Master Huan, that will be the time for Thomas Lake and others to show their skills.
"I understand, Master Huan!"
Yang Huan nodded, this guy is a smart man.
"Also, when you enter Hamburg, the first thing you should do is check the accounts."
"Check the accounts?"
"That's right. Check the accounts of the past few years, and make sure to do it in a high-profile manner so that the media and fans can witness your determination. Then see who dares to stop you. I believe that they will take the initiative to come to you and beg you, and then..."
Without saying anything else, just on the issue of transfer, Yang Huan believed that no one on the board of directors would be able to escape.
Over the years, Hamburg has introduced so many players and spent so much money, but in the end the results are getting worse and worse. Who would believe that there is no problem?
"Then Master Huan means..."
"The obedient ones will stay, and the disobedient ones..." Yang Huan didn't say anything else, but showed a cold smile.
If someone is disobedient, it may not be as simple as just kicking him out.
"Once you join Hamburg's management, you will hold the money in one hand and the gun in the other. I want you to eliminate the redundant staff in the shortest possible time and take control of Hamburg's entire administrative department. Especially the core and key positions must be filled by our own people!"
Thomas Lake nodded, "I see, I know what to do!"
Are you kidding? Young Master Huan now has people and money to offer, and he has even pointed out the way forward. If Thomas Lake still can't do a good job, then the past few decades of his life will have been wasted. How can he still be successful in a large international company?
Yang Huan gave him a trusting smile and turned to look at Beiersdorf.
"Dietmar, you have a heavy task as well. You must keep the turmoil and disturbances in the team management out of the team. You cannot let it affect the team's results, and you cannot let anyone interfere with Tuchel's deployment of troops. If we are relegated this season, I will be promoted next season. If we successfully avoid relegation this season, my goal for next season will be to be in the middle!"
"I understand, Master Huan, don't worry!" Beiersdorf was also very confident about this.
"Except for the dozen players I listed earlier, you can decide on the rest. The team must streamline its roster. We only have one Bundesliga and one German Cup, so a roster of more than 20 people is enough. Also, it must be young."
A young team is a potential stock. It may not necessarily achieve good results, but it will definitely appreciate in value.
"This time I have arranged for more than ten players to come on loan, and each of them has extraordinary potential. Tuchel is a youth training coach and has an excellent ability to cultivate young players. He also likes to make use of young players. You must give him strong support."
"If you have any questions, feel free to come to me. We are short of players, so you can choose from the youth training camps of the teams under my command!"
The reason why Yang Huan wanted to acquire multiple teams was because there were many talented players in the youth training camps but few training opportunities, so he wanted to acquire more teams to give this group of young players more opportunities to play and train.
Just like Januzaj, it is just right for him to come to the Bundesliga to practice, which is much better than staying on the bench in the Premier League.
As for players like Kovacic and Pogba, Bielsa values them very much and gives them plenty of opportunities. Otherwise, Yang Huan also hopes to loan them out.
Yang Huan's approach is obviously different from the loaning practices of other giants.
When players from other giants are loaned to small teams, the small teams may not be willing to make use of them because even if they are trained, they are not their own.
But Yang Huan's approach is much more effective. After all, all teams are owned by the same owner, with the same goals but different division of labor. Therefore, Yang Huan is very relieved when players like Januzaj, Kingsley Coman, Jedvaj and others come to Hamburg.
Beiersdorf smiled and praised sincerely: "Master Huan, this move is really indescribable!"
Yang Huan smiled without comment and said nothing.
But Thomas Lake was also very impressed.
"These dozen players are either on loan or our own. With them, we will be in control of the entire first-team. By then, even if Kekhov and others want to deal with us, they will have to consider their own weight."
If you really get angry, Yang Huan will simply overturn the table and ask all the players to withdraw, and let you do whatever you want.
By that time, Hamburg had no money and no people. What could Khoff and others do?
Wouldn't he have to behave himself and come running over to beg Young Master Huan?
Not to mention, Young Master Huan still has the weak points of Kkhov and others in his hands!
As long as the club checks the accounts, or even as long as Yang Huan makes all the existing data public, Krov and others will be in big trouble and will be finished one by one.
Of course, this is the final step where all bets are off.
If possible, Yang Huan still hopes for a stable transition.
"Oh, right!" Yang Huan suddenly remembered something.
"Thomas, after you take over the team, announce that the team will vigorously develop youth training and invite a famous youth training expert to come and vigorously rectify Hamburg's youth training."
"Youth training expert?" Thomas Lake was a little puzzled.
He works in finance, how would he know any youth training experts?
Beiersdorf was also a little puzzled. The club was already in financial difficulties, so why was it still engaged in youth training?
"These days, all fans are concerned about their own youth training. Hamburg's youth training has always been terrible. It has improved slightly in recent years, but it is still very bad, which has always been criticized by fans."
This is normal. Almost all German teams have made significant progress in youth training in the past few years, and it can even be said that there are many talented people.
But look at Hamburg, what kind of talents have emerged?
Calhanoglu, the hottest new star this season, was not trained by the team's youth system. Instead, he was brought in from Karlsruhe two years ago for 2.5 million euros. It was said that it was arranged by Kruse.
And Lasoga is not even a player of the team, but was loaned from Hertha Berlin.
Even previous players such as Kompany and Son Heung-min were all semi-finished products brought in from outside, processed and then sold.
Of course, Hamburg also has its own youth training team.
For example, the central defender Jonathan Tah, who has performed outstandingly this season, was born in 1996 and is only 18 years old. He has established himself as a starter this season and has performed well.
Another one is Lam Chi Kin, a Chinese whose father is from Hong Kong, China, but he grew up in Germany. He was born in 1991, is a right back, has performed well, and occasionally plays as a substitute.
Nowadays, strengthening youth training is definitely the ultimate weapon to please fans.
Therefore, Yang Huan intends to use this as a starting point.
But Thomas Lake had a doubt, "Master Huan, our current finances are not very good. If we invest more in youth training, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Yang Huan laughed cheerfully, "I'm afraid the money is not enough, right?"
Thomas Lake nodded, somewhat awkwardly.
"Isn't that perfect? We use part of the money from the share purchase to improve youth training, and the rest is for them to spend. If it's not enough, they can find a way themselves. If there's no way, fine, we can just sell more shares!"
Well……
After hearing this, Thomas Lake and Beiersdorf broke out in sweat.
You can't tell, this Young Master Huan looks gentle and handsome, but he is such a cunning man at heart.
If anyone is schemed against by him, he will be in trouble for the rest of his life.
However, this is a good thing for Yang Huan and others.
After all, if players are transferred, their value will be inflated, and if they are invested in club management, they will definitely be swallowed up by others.
But investing in youth training is cost-effective no matter how you look at it, and it can even further weaken Kruse's power.
"Master Huan, I thought of a person. If we can invite him here, it will definitely boost the confidence of the fans!"
Yang Huan got excited when he heard this and quickly asked, "Who is it?"
