Chapter 840 Meeting Gift
"Master Huan, if it is according to your opinion, do you intend to make a drastic reorganization of Hamburg's entire management system?" Klaus Michael Kuhn asked with concern.
Listening to what Yang Huan said just now, combined with Young Master Huan's aggressive personality, it is easy to give people such an impression.
But Yang Huan smiled and shook his head, "No, no, no, Mr. Kuhn, the new season is coming soon. Under the current circumstances, the most important thing is to stabilize the situation and not rush into anything."
After hearing what Yang Huan said, many people, including Kuhn and Otto, nodded.
Kuhn, in particular, glanced at Otto and saw the admiration in the other's eyes.
This Young Master Huan is really calm and composed, neither arrogant nor impatient.
If it were any other young people, they would probably be eager to purge the original team and replace them with their own people.
"Of course, Hamburg must now take an attitude and give an explanation to fans all over the world, so appropriate rectification is necessary, especially for some people within the management, who must be punished as a warning to others. However, if you want to form an efficient leadership team, it takes time and it should be done without affecting the team's performance."
"Yeah, not bad," Kuhn nodded in praise.
"As for the first team, I was the one who found Tuchel and selected the players. I have more confidence in them than any of you. As long as the team works well together and there is no big trouble in the team, then the strength of the first team and our goal for the new season should not be to avoid relegation."
Kuhn, Otto and others all showed a hint of surprise.
From the first contact to now, Yang Huan has brought them a lot of surprises and also won their trust.
After a pause, Yang Huan continued: "Tuchel is a very capable German coach with advanced tactical concepts. The reason why I chose him was because he was very suitable for the team's long-term planning, and this group of players in the team also fits Tuchel's tactical style very well."
"So, I am very confident that the team's goal for the new season should be at least in the top ten of the league"
Just kidding, Hamburg's lineup was put together by Southampton's scouting team according to Tuchel's tactical style.
Players like Aboubakar, Douglas Costa, Oblak, Alderweireld and Krassi are all Champions League level players.
In addition, players like Drob, Niederdiker, Meier Osterreck, Janssen, Emre Jan, Thorgan Hazard and Badelj are at least Bundesliga level players.
In addition, there are talented young players such as Jedvajtah, Douglas Santos, Weigl, Kimmich, Hoj, Bieler, Gaudino, Coman, Januzaj, Sukses and Sune.
If a team like this cannot stay in the Bundesliga, then Tuchel should just quit and go home to sell sweet potatoes.
In fact, it can be seen from the warm-up matches that the trident composed of Aboubakar, Douglas Costa and Coman has amazing offensive power and is definitely capable of conquering the Bundesliga.
With such a lineup, a coach like Tuchel, and the support of Southampton's scouting system and data analysis system, if Hamburg still has to fight for relegation, Yang Huan might as well give up.
"Master Huan, what do you think the Hamburg team should do in terms of development?" Otto asked humbly.
The other people also looked sincere, without the doubts and worries they had just had.
It was obvious that after the in-depth and detailed discussion just now, Yang Huan had won their approval.
"It's very simple. Limited by the financial balance policy of the Bundesliga, if we want to further improve the overall strength of the team, we have to increase the team's financial revenue. Therefore, while focusing on competitive results, we must also focus on commercial development. We must do both well."
"Well said," Kuhn praised vigorously.
If the fiscal revenue does not increase, what good will it do even if the team performs well?
Can you retain people?
In the end, I'm afraid it will just become Bayern Munich's arsenal like Dortmund.
In fact, Hamburg may be in a worse situation than Dortmund by then.
"Master Huan, the team's contract for the stadium naming rights has expired in the new season. Khoff came to me before and hoped that we could take over the naming rights, but I didn't agree to him."
At this point, Kuhn looked at Master Huan with a smile, "But the situation is different now. Once the matter of Kekhov and others is settled, we will sign a sponsorship contract with Hamburg for 25 million euros over five years. The name of the stadium does not need to be changed. It will be called Volksparkstadion. It will be a gift from me to Hamburg fans."
Yang Huan was a little surprised when he heard this. Kuhn was really generous.
At first glance, it's a sponsorship of 25 million euros for five years, and they don't even want the naming rights?
But I have to say that this guy's calculations are very shrewd.
Because he did this, the club will inevitably come forward to support him. By that time, this guy's reputation in Hamburg will inevitably rise to a higher level.
"Master Huan, now that you have come to Hamburg, our Otto family cannot come empty-handed. We have also decided to sponsor the team, just like Kuhn, 25 million euros for five years," Alexander Otto said generously.
After saying this, this guy cheerfully encouraged others to support the team.
"In the past, we paid for the team's signings and didn't get any benefits. But this time, at least we can get the title of a sponsor. If the team's performance improves, we will also benefit from it."
Isn’t it?
In the past, when the transfer period came and Hamburg ran out of money, they would call this group of fan representatives, saying that they were asking for their opinions, but in fact they just wanted their support. Moreover, they had no name or status, and they couldn't even decide how to use the money.
This also caused this group of people to gradually stay away from the Hamburg management.
But now it’s different. Master Huan is here, and he’s full of courage.
We have made it back to the European arena in three years. Just based on this ambition, how many people in European professional football can say that?
As a result, several other fan representatives also threatened to sponsor.
In fact, they all knew that only if they sponsored him would Young Master Huan accept their kindness.
Yang Huan didn't expect that as a result, he would get a sponsorship contract worth nearly 100 million yuan for the team in the next five years.
That's 20 million euros that year, pretty good.
But Yang Huan was not fascinated by this sudden gift.
To put it bluntly, the 100 million euros is nothing to him.
"Mr. Kuhn, the shares of the team..."
Kuhn nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master Huan, the club is now a joint-stock company. We will take care of the rest. However, I hope to get a promise from Master Huan."
"Oh? What promise? Please tell me."
"Master Huan said three years, and I believe it, but I also know that running a football team is not something that can be done overnight, so, in this way, I will give Master Huan five years. I don't ask you to keep pace with Bayern Munich, as long as you get the right to participate in the Champions League and successfully retain your Champions League seat."
"If you cannot achieve this result within five years and we see no hope, please sell all of Hamburg's shares back to us at the market value and we will run the team."
Yang Huan found it interesting that this was actually a bet. "What if I meet your conditions?"
“That agreement is void.”
At this moment, Kuhn demonstrated his courage as a successful businessman.
"Okay, I promise you."
But Yang Huan immediately changed the subject, "But I don't need five years, just give me three years, and within three years, I will lead Hamburg back to the Champions League."
"Really?" Kuhn and others were shocked.
Return to the Champions League within three years?
How is this possible?
You know, in the Bundesliga, to participate in the Champions League, you have to at least be in the top four of the league.
Is he really so confident that he can lead a relegation team into the Champions League within three years?
"It's true that if you have concerns, we can sign an agreement"
"No need." Kuhn waved his hand. "Master Huan's words are more useful than any agreement."
After hearing this, Yang Huan immediately burst into laughter. Kuhn was still very friendly to him.
Yang Huan was very satisfied with this agreement, and in return, he said that he would appoint Kuhn as the team's honorary director to thank him for his support and love for the team.
To put it bluntly, this is just an honorary title, but for Kuhn, who is in his seventies, it is very appreciated.
As for Alexander Otto, Yang Huan also generously stated that he would do his best to promote the cooperation between his chain shopping malls and Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan, and even did not rule out the opportunity for them to move into Glory Plaza in the future.
This almost made Alexander Otto very happy.
When Yang Huan talked about the woods around the People's Park Stadium and expressed his interest in acquiring one of the plots of land to build a commercial center, Kuhn and Otto both expressed their strong support.
The Kuhn and Otto families are both very famous in Hamburg. With their support, Yang Huan believes that it will not be a big problem to acquire the land for development.
After talking about Hamburg, Yang Huan took the initiative to invite them to Monaco to watch the European Super Cup.
Originally, as early as last season, UEFA had decided to choose a city other than Monaco to host the European Super Cup.
But after Yang Huan negotiated with Monaco's CEO Bolingbroke, he felt that the European Super Cup should be retained.
Moreover, the Monaco royal family is also very interested in the annual UEFA Champions League group stage and Europa League draw. After all, this annual event can attract the attention of fans from all over the world to this tiny country of Monaco.
So, in the end, it was Yang Huan who stepped in to negotiate and only then was the European Super Cup retained.
But in order to avoid the European leagues, the Super Cup schedule has to be moved forward before the start of the mainstream leagues.
This makes the Super Cup a bit like the Community Shield, with a strong flavor of a warm-up match.
But there is no way around it. After all, the European Super Cup is nothing attractive except for the honor.
As the Champions League champions, Southampton faced the Europa League champions and La Liga team Sevilla.
Judging from the cards, the Saints have a sure win.
Kuhn politely declined Master Huan's invitation, saying that he was already old, and if it were not for Hamburg, he would not have come to the UK in person.
On the contrary, Alexander Otto and others quickly accepted Master Huan's invitation and said that they would definitely show up to support him when the time comes.
Because they all know that as long as there is a Southampton game, everyone in the Saints Fan Club will go.
For wealthy people of their level, at least there is no harm in knowing more people.
Besides, the game itself should be pretty good.
Yang Huan's schedule is earlier than theirs. After meeting with them, he will leave England and go to Paris, France.
Because the opening game of the new French Ligue 1 season is Paris Saint-Germain against Monaco, which has just changed its coach.
In any case, as the owner of the team, Yang Huan should be there to support
