"Young Master Huan, there's something I don't really understand."

After Mubarak left, Hamad looked at Yang Huan with a puzzled expression.

"What's the matter?"

Yang Huan was using his mobile phone to send WeChat to Sun Yue and talk to him about this matter, so he responded casually and perfunctorily.

"Why did you promise Mubarak?"

Yang Huan was stunned when he heard this, turned his head and looked at Hamad, but the little prince of the Middle East looked serious.

Obviously, he really didn't understand.

The reason for the matter is that Yang Huan and Mubarak reached a third cooperation agreement just now, that is, Manchester City hopes that Southampton can communicate with Manchester City in advance when they sell Stroman.

Yang Huan also agreed.

Unexpectedly, the little prince of the Middle East was so bored that he was puzzled by this matter.

It's a bit of a spoof

Yang Huan didn't answer, he just glanced at Hamad and continued to send his WeChat, while Peternien did it for him.

'It's normal, it's the norm in the transfer market'

"How?" Hamad was very studious to ask.

'It's simple, and it's easy to understand, Stroman isn't City's first choice, and maybe even third or further down in their transfer list.

Hamad nodded incessantly, but did not say anything.

"The reason why Manchester City is doing this is really for double insurance." Peternien knows all about the European transfer market, having spent so many years at Manchester United and Chelsea.

"If I'm not mistaken, Manchester City's number one target in the transfer market this summer is Serie A side Roma De Rossi."

Mancini has always been very interested in De Rossi, and has always wanted to use De Rossi and Yaya Toure in midfield to form the world's top two-man midfield configuration for Manchester City.

"However, it is clear that Manchester City's plan to bring in De Rossi is in trouble, which is why Mubarak will do it, and if De Rossi's transfer does not work well, they will settle for the next best thing."

A team often has two or three options or even more options on their summer transfer list.

But it is impossible to operate every player in the roster, which not only distracts the team's resources, but more importantly, ruins the team's image.

Just imagine, if the opposing club and the player's agent have negotiated with you, basically they have to negotiate, but you suddenly sue him, sorry, our preferred player has been bought, and you no longer need your player, what will they do?

Predictably, the club should not expect to make a difference in the transfer market in the future

So, we have to do it another way.

Many teams even tell the player's agent frankly, your player is our spare tire, you keep it for me first, if we can't buy the preferred target, we will bring in your player, transfer fee, whatever you want, don't be too outrageous.

Player agents and teams that sell people are happy to wait for the value of players to skyrocket, and they will even use this to hype up the value of players in the media to increase the value of players, and the team that buys people also has gains, at least they can get a double insurance, right?

This is also the reason why many unknown players are paying 10 million euros or 20 million euros at every turn.

Mubarak didn't say it directly, and he said it a little vaguely, so Hamad couldn't understand it.

Yang Huan put down his phone and looked at Hamad with interest.

"I said, the little prince of the Middle East, I've always been curious, why do you have so many international airlines in such a small place?

Yang Huan asked, and Peter Nien was also interested.

Those who are familiar with the Middle East know that there are indeed a lot of airlines here.

For example, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Gulf Air, ......

It's not as big as a sesame in a province in China, but there are so many international airlines, as for it?

Now Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways are both partners of Yang Huan, so it is natural to know a little more.

When Hamad heard this, he was immediately happy and laughed.

That look seems to be saying, hey, Young Master Huan, it turns out that there are times when you don't understand and ask me

That look, that expression, Yang Huan was so angry that he almost slapped him directly.

"To say or not to say?" Yang Huan smiled and made a gesture to fight.

"I said, I said," Hamad hastened to beg for mercy.

"Needless to say, there will always be a day when oil will be hollowed out, so almost in the Middle East, every country wants to get rid of oil dependence, which is why we have Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar."

That's pretty understandable.

"And in the past few years, Middle Eastern conglomerates have been buying companies with strong value preservation all over the world, such as water, electricity, transportation facilities, as well as luxury brands and shops in developed European countries, all out of this mentality."

Don't say, there are really no fools in this world.

Many people think that Middle Eastern consortia are stupid and have a lot of money, but they don't know that people also have their own plans.

If you look at it in the long run, who is stupid, I don't know

"In terms of investment, new energy and high-tech have always been favored, but there is also the media, such as the most famous Al Jazeera, which is known as the Middle East CNN now has a good influence in the world."

Yang Huan then thought that when he heard that Qatar acquired Paris Saint-Germain, it was because he wanted to enter the French media field.

"But the consortium is most interested in the airlines."

After all, Hamad came from a wealthy family, and his knowledge is really good, and his analysis is convincing and convincing.

"The Middle East is located in the middle of Asia, Africa and Latin America, and its inherent geographical advantages are very suitable for being a transit station, so when the countries in the Middle East realize this, they will immediately rush into it."

"I remember that the earliest Gulf Air was acquired by Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Oman and Bahrain from the British Civil Aviation Company, but after entering the new century, the advantages of the transit station gradually reflected, coupled with the difference in business philosophy, so we Qatar took the lead in withdrawing from Gulf Air and established Qatar Airways

"After that, Abu Dhabi also withdrew, and the Etihad Airways was established, plus Emirates, which was established in Dubai back in the 80s, and the entire Gulf region is now the strongest of the three."

At this time, Yang Huan faintly figured out a general context.

Over the past few years, especially in the wake of the subprime mortgage and European debt crises, the global aviation industry has been in a recession.

However, in this case, the three major airlines in the Gulf region have begun to expand their military in great strides, on the one hand, through deep pockets of mergers and acquisitions, swallowing shares of other airlines around the world, and at the same time increasing investment to improve service quality, attract more customers, and gain a firm foothold in the market.

That's why Etihad Airways is so bold in sponsoring the International Champions Cup and developing the U.S. market.

People are not short of money at all, what they lack is the market and popularity

It will be a few years from now, when the global economy recovers, that the strengths and values of these three airlines will truly be realized

Thinking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help but laugh.

"I can't see it, you Middle Easterners are also quite cunning"

Hamad was quite complacent, as if he was very proud of being appreciated by Yang Huan.

Yang Huan slapped his thigh hard and stood up directly.

"Alright, it's almost done"

Peternion and Hamad also quickly followed suit.

"Peter, the team's affairs will go according to the plan we said before"

Peternion nodded incessantly.

"In terms of event preparation, Sun Yue will handle it, there should be no problem"

Peternien and Hamad are confused now, what is Young Master Huan planning to do?

"So, in the next few days, it's better not to bother me if it's okay, I'm going to retreat"

Retreat?

Both Peternien and Hamad were dumbfounded.

I have long heard that Young Master Huan will retreat whenever he encounters something important.

I didn't expect that there was such a thing

"Young Master Huan, why do you want to retreat with this good person?" Peternion didn't get it.

Yang Huan smiled meaningfully, "You'll know when the time comes."

With that, he left.

Only Peternien and Hamad were left there, stupid.

What the hell is going on?

When Yang Huan walked out of Tingyuxuan, Richard Coolmore, who was far away in London, received a call from Sky TV CEO Jeremy Darlock.

The Premier League CEO's shocked look surprised everyone in the office.

But the surprise that caught them off guard followed closely.

"What? Re-evaluating Premier League broadcasting rights? ”

Skudmore can't even believe his ears, it's been broadcast for so many years, is it necessary to re-evaluate?

"Jeremy, are you kidding?"

"I'm sorry, Richard, this is from the superiors"

Jeremy O Dalloc on the other side of the phone sighed helplessly.

"Why? Don't you know that losing the rights to broadcast the Premier League will shake your Sky TV? ”

"No, Richard, we know it, we know it very well," Jeremy Dalloc patiently explained.

"So, we didn't say we were going to give up, we just wanted to be able to re-evaluate the package and the auction."

But in Richard Kudmore's view, this is more like playing tricks.

Until he hung up the phone, he was still thinking about what was going on?

Sky TV's abandonment of Premier League rights is definitely a lose-lose foolishness

Besides, it's not that the Premier League can't find a team to take over, but the price is definitely a big drawdown.

But what about Sky TV?

The losses are certainly even worse

It may even be a slump from now on

What exactly made Sky make such a decision?

There is no doubt that they are taking the opportunity to drive down prices and put pressure on the Premier League.

But what evidence do they have?

A thought immediately crossed Scudmoore's mind, Southampton

With the spread of media reporters, almost the whole world is now hyping Southampton's exit from the Premier League.

This undoubtedly gave Sky a chance to put pressure on them

The Premier League and Sky TV are a community of interests, one wins and the other loses.

So, Scudmore wouldn't really believe that Sky wanted to pull out of the battle for broadcast rights.

And he quickly realized what the problem was.

That's Southampton

Thinking of this, Scudmore immediately took out his mobile phone, found Yang Huan's phone in the address book, and called.

"Sorry, the phone you are calling is turned off"

Shutdown?

Shut down at this time?

How can it be so coincidental?

Scudmore searched for the address book again, found Peter's Nyon, and called again.

"Hey, Peter, it's me, Richard."

"Hello, Richard"

"I want to meet Mr. Yang Huan, I don't know when he will have time?"

"I'm sorry, Richard, Young Master Huan has been busy these days, and he is not in Europe."

"He's not in Europe?" Scudmore frowned, "And when will he come back?" ”

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait at least half a month."

Peterneon's answer disappointed Scudmoor.

Could it be that he knew that this would happen, so he deliberately avoided it?

"Richard, in fact, it doesn't help to see us Young Master Huan at this time," Peternion said with a smile on the phone.

"Why?"

"It's not about us, it's about other teams, you know what I mean"

Scudmore was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Peternion was referring to.

It seems that another special summit of the Premier League presidents will have to be organised quickly.

Otherwise, by the time of the next regular meeting, the league will have been missed.

This is an extraordinary matter, it is in the interests of all teams in the Premier League, and a decision must be made sooner rather than later

Thinking of this, Scudmore talked to Peter Nien a few more words, and after some communication, he hung up the phone.

"Go, send a fax to the other 19 Premier League teams, and say that in half a month, there will be another special summit of the Premier League president"
