Chapter 895: Chelsea relegated
"My Master Huan, you are so dishonest. You actually cheated me!"
After seeing Harry Kane perform a hat trick and help Southampton beat Chelsea 6-0 at home, our little Middle Eastern prince Hamad made a tearful accusation with a sobbing face, just like the shampoo girl who refused to pay after encountering something.
"I cheated you?" Yang Huan was puzzled. "How did I cheat you?"
"You knew Harry Kane was so good, but you still let us give him to you for free. What do you think of this as a scam?"
"Oh my god! How do I know that Harry Kane is so good?" Yang Huan cried out in indignation.
I'm not a prophet, am I?
After 2014, Master Huan no longer had the ability to predict the future.
It’s just that Harry Kane was recommended by Southampton’s scout team, and the team just needed a center forward of this type, plus there were restrictions on local quotas, so they brought in Harry Kane.
Who knew that this kid would become such a big hit this season?
Who would have thought that his goal efficiency is even better than Sturridge?
"Anyway, I don't care, either you pay us or you return Harry Kane to us."
Yang Huan was very happy now, "Hey, you should stop calling yourself Hamad and change your name to Hamalai."
Hamad didn't know what Hamalai was, but he just felt unbalanced.
Logically speaking, Harry Kane has been in Tottenham Hotspur's youth training camp for some time, so how come no one noticed?
It just so happened that he came to Southampton, and in just a short time, he scored a lot of goals, all of which were scored by coming on as a substitute.
Damn, they are all going to join the national team now.
Nowadays, the value of England internationals is not to be underestimated, especially young internationals like Harry Kane, whose value is skyrocketing, which is really hard to balance.
"Hey, Mubarak, be fair, shouldn't he return it to us?"
Hamad really couldn't do anything with Young Master Huan, so he could only pull out Manchester City chairman Mubarak, who was sitting nearby watching the fun.
The latter looked at Hamad, then at Young Master Huan, especially when he saw Young Master Huan's expression as if to say "you'd better have a good talk with me", he quickly smiled and shook his head like a rattle.
"This... this... I can't really explain it. It's hard to say, it's hard to say!"
Hamad seemed to have guessed that this guy would be forced to surrender under the fierce power of Young Master Huan. He did not dare to say more and immediately looked at Young Master Huan again.
"I say, Master Huan, if I don't want you to bother me, you have to sell me a few players!"
After saying this, the boy kept laughing. It turned out that this was his real purpose.
Everyone knows that Young Master Huan is a very stingy person. After he takes advantage of someone, can he expect to give it back?
Go home, take a nap and daydream!
So, Hamad adopts this method of attacking Wei to save Zhao, first he will make trouble with you, and then talk to you seriously.
Yang Huan was also happy. This kid has made some progress recently.
But he had a stern face and said coldly, "No way!"
"Uh... Master Huan, why don't you ask me who I want to buy?"
"It doesn't matter which one you buy. Not to mention doors, there aren't even windows!" Yang Huan said in a very decisive tone.
Hamad was very depressed now, so he could only keep quiet and never mention Harry Kane again.
Yang Huan was happy when he saw him like this, letting you show off, kid.
Mubarak on the side also smiled, but he was very sad in his heart.
The Abu Dhabi consortium entered the Premier League earlier than Yang Huan, but its current development lags behind Yang Huan.
Of course, an important reason for this is that the Abu Dhabi consortium’s positioning of football has always been a business card to showcase Abu Dhabi.
Therefore, the positioning of City Football Group has always been focused on how to increase its influence, so they have successively established or acquired football clubs in New York, Melbourne and Japan, but are these teams helpful to Manchester City?
The answer is, almost zero!
But Yang Huan is different. The Miracle Football Group he owns now controls the entire star industry chain from player training to talent development, and has access to enormous football resources. The multiple teams owned by Yang Huan each have different divisions of labor in this industry chain, and all benefit from the industry chain.
According to Yang Huan, he hopes that all teams within his football empire can find their own positioning, achieve financial balance as much as possible, be responsible for their own profits and losses, and develop steadily.
In time, the football resources in Yang Huan's hands will grow like a snowball.
But what about Manchester City’s City Football Group?
Now they still rely on the investment of the Abu Dhabi consortium. If they lose the Abu Dhabi consortium, they will be unable to continue.
Not to mention the teams in Melbourne, New York and Japan, even the flagship Manchester City is not doing well.
First, the hardware.
Manchester City’s stadium has a capacity of just over 40,000, which is far behind other teams in terms of capacity.
Not only that, because Manchester City's stadium was previously designed as the main venue for the Olympic Games, but after the application for the Olympic Games failed, it was changed to the main venue for the Commonwealth Games, so there were inherent defects in its design.
For example, the VIP boxes and commercial facilities of the stadium, which account for the bulk of the stadium's operating income, are seriously insufficient.
Secondly, because it was originally designed as the main venue for sports games, the area surrounding the stadium is also equipped with supporting facilities for the games. For example, next to the stadium is the regional track and field stadium, which serves as the warm-up track for the games, as well as a bicycle factory and the National Squash Center, etc.
But because of the existence of these supporting facilities, there is almost no room for the development of urban stadiums.
At least, it is impossible for Manchester City to build a complete business ecosystem around the stadium like Southampton did.
Finally, Manchester City's stadium is leased from the Manchester City Government. In addition to rent, a portion of the ticket revenue must be paid to the city government every season, and the internal renovation of the stadium must also be approved by the city government. This is equivalent to tying Manchester City's hands and feet, making them unable to move.
Under such restrictions, Manchester City's match-day revenue is only a pitiful 47 million pounds, which is much less than Liverpool. However, Manchester United and Arsenal's match-day revenue has reached about 100 million pounds, while Southampton and Chelsea also have about 70 million pounds.
Among them, Southampton is quite special.
The £70 million was the previous income at St Mary's Stadium.
After moving to the new stadium, a free ticket system was implemented and match day revenue was affected. It is estimated that it will be difficult to reach 70 million pounds this year. However, the team's sponsorship income has increased significantly. Coupled with the rental income from the stadium and surrounding shops, the club's overall operations will be taken to a higher level.
You know, the famous Deloitte company once predicted that Southampton's commercial revenue has exceeded Bayern Munich's 230 million pounds, and is likely to exceed 400 million pounds.
This is simply an astronomical figure.
However, out of the 230 million pounds of Bayern Munich, the three giants Adidas, Allianz and Audi all gave huge sponsorship fees, and these three companies have close ties with Bayern Munich.
In third place is Paris Saint-Germain, with £210 million, but £200 million of that comes from sponsorship from the Qatar Tourism Authority.
As for Manchester City, it only has 166 million pounds, most of which is sponsored by the Abu Dhabi consortium.
Mubarak knows better than anyone that Manchester City's business model must be improved and it must get rid of its dependence on the Abu Dhabi consortium as much as possible.
You know, in the past few years, oil prices have continued to fall, and Abu Dhabi itself has been under great financial pressure. There have been constant reports that it would sell some assets to cash in.
Although, for the time being, Manchester City is still the consortium's most valued high-quality asset, but if it continues like this, who knows what will happen in the future?
This is also the reason why he ignored the club's away game tonight and came to the South Coast.
He just wanted to see Southampton's Glory Square with his own eyes and discuss the business experience with Yang Huan.
However, during his trip south, he not only witnessed Southampton's 6-0 win over Chelsea on the field, but more importantly, he saw the madness of the Saints outside the field.
Harrods, owned by the Hamad family, achieved sales of two million pounds in the first hour of opening. After that, sales have remained above one million pounds every hour, and are expected to exceed twenty million pounds for the whole day.
This number is more than double the size of Harrods headquarters in West London.
According to the official data given by Glory Plaza, the daily sales of Glory Plaza have exceeded 95 million pounds so far, and with three hours left before closing, it is expected that the sales may exceed 100 million.
According to the plan of Glory Plaza, the Boxing Day shopping carnival will last for ten days, ending on January 4th.
Because January 1st will once again usher in the peak season for tourists from China and other countries.
This is really crazy!
You know, this is the first time that Glory Plaza has held the Saints Shopping Carnival. What about the future?
Mubarak can easily imagine that with this year's Saints Shopping Carnival being so popular, all major merchants and brands will inevitably increase their investment next year, and the revenue of Glory Square and Southampton will once again rise.
While Mubarak was feeling envious and jealous, the referee had already blew the whistle to end the game.
Southampton finally beat Chelsea 6-0 at the Glory Stadium thanks to Harry Kane's hat trick.
The six-goal defeat once again broke Mourinho's record for the most miserable defeats in his career.
In the stands, Yang Huan was in a very good mood.
"What a pity! We didn't see Abramovich at such a good time!" Yang Huan said with a sigh and shook his head.
"That bastard must have guessed that the team would lose, so he hid himself and dared not see anyone!"
Hamad and Mubarak on the side both looked depressed.
Who would like to come to visit the Glory Stadium?
Especially someone like Abramovich, who is an enemy of Master Huan. If he comes and the team loses like this again, wouldn't Abramovich be so ashamed that he would commit suicide to apologize?
"But it doesn't matter whether he comes or not. Chelsea lost this game anyway. Now they have fallen to 18th place in the standings, and we have already stepped them into the relegation zone."
After saying this, Young Master Huan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
It was as if, for him, sending Chelsea into the relegation zone was more satisfying than a six-goal victory.
It is really hard to understand why Master Huan is so hostile to Abramovich and Chelsea?
Don’t those zodiac signs say that devoted Virgo and affectionate Scorpio are a match made in heaven?
Why does it seem that Master Huan, who is making his debut film, is completely opposite to Abramovich, who is a Scorpio?
It’s incomprehensible. It’s really incomprehensible.
But just when they seemed not to understand, suddenly a light bulb went off in Young Master Huan's head and he started laughing.
"Hey, you two, do you want to work together to get Chelsea relegated?"
