80_80813 Michelle? Pastor is a wealthy Monegasque tycoon, and the family business he and his sister jointly run is the largest real estate company in Monaco, with a market value of more than 10 billion euros, and its influence in Monaco is amazing.

And one of the important reasons why their family can have this qiē is that they have a good relationship with the royal family.

So, ten years ago, when Monaco was in a financial crisis, Albert shouted, Michel? Pastor was the first to stand up and respond, and he set an example by paying for it, and he himself served as chairman of the board of directors of Monaco.

It's just that later he is really not good at running a football club, and he has little interest, coupled with his age, and the financial black hole of Monaco is getting bigger and bigger, and the team's results are getting worse and worse, so he gradually faded his mind and retreated into the background.

As soon as he heard that someone was willing to take over, Pastor raised his hands and feet in favor.

It can be seen that he has long been eager to throw away this hot potato quickly.

Yang Huan didn't care what the group of rich people present thought.

Monaco may be arsenic in their eyes, but in his eyes, it is nothing more than a panacea.

Think about it from another angle, Michelle, who is worth so much? Why did Pastor heed Prince Albert's call to save Monaco?

Doesn't this indirectly reflect the fact that the influence of football is incomparable to that of money?

Isn't buying a football team the most powerful and fastest way to break into Monaco's inner circle?

Of course, the premise is to fight for the benefits you want.

"Mr. Yang Huan, I am very honored for your interest in Monaco Football Club!"

After an opening talk, the conversation quickly cut to the point.

Prince Albert would also like to have outsiders come to fund the team, but he also has his own considerations.

"Monaco is a team with a long history, almost 100 years old, he represents not only all our team supporters, but the crown on the team crest shows that he also represents the honor of our royal family, the fame of the principality!"

Yang Huan couldn't help but nod.

He is understandable about this.

It's hard to imagine that people who aren't familiar with European high society can't communicate with them if you're not familiar with football.

Can you imagine the British Prime Minister sitting with the French president, discussing the outcome of a Champions League match, or even fighting over a foul in the game?

Can you imagine that the owner of a big conglomerate missed out on a big deal because he didn't want to do business with the fans of his sworn enemy?

But this qiē, in Europe, happens almost all the time.

Compared to football countries such as England, Germany and Spain, France has a relatively light football atmosphere.

But it's still very important!

"All of us in the Principality are saddened and humiliated by Monaco's relegation to Ligue 2 and we desperately want to be able to get back to Ligue 1 and back to Europe."

When he said this, Prince Albert smiled appreciatively at Yang Huan.

"Mr. Yang Huan, although I am in Monaco, I have heard the story of you and Southampton, and I admire you very much for what you have done in Southampton, you have created a new business model for the Saints."

It is the so-called human name, the shadow of the tree.

Yang Huan is now in European football, it can be described as red and purple, who doesn't know?

"So, we are very supportive of your idea to buy Monaco FC because we believe that you are capable enough to lead Monaco out of the current predicament."

Yang Huan still didn't speak, because he knew that this was all nonsense in the front, and the focus was coming later.

Sure enough, when he said this, Prince Albert changed his words.

"But, I beg your pardon, Monaco represents the dignity of the royal family, we can't accept it in any way, he doesn't belong to us Monegasques, so we can't accept your discretionary acquisition."

Yang Huan before the pass guò Zhao Yuanfang and Pinny? Zahavi's proposed acquisition plan is a 100 percent acquisition.

This is also his consistent style of doing things!

But now it seems that both sides value the shares.

Yang Huan politely listened to Prince Albert's words, and smiled faintly.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness Prince Albert, for your appreciation, and please believe me, I did not come with a speculative mentality, I bought Monaco because I value this team, including the Principality of Monaco behind this team!"

Prince Albert and everyone present nodded in unison.

This is very sincere, if it weren't for the Principality of Monaco behind it, who would want to take over this mess?

"I've analysed what Monaco have experienced over the past decade or so, the team couldn't be promoted back to the Premier League this summer, and manager Barnet's limited level is of course a point, but it's important that the whole team has not adjusted their mentality well."

"It was originally a big team, in Ligue 1, with a lot of income, but suddenly it was relegated to Ligue 2, not to mention the sharp drop in income, the mentality of the players and the club has changed, and the team goes to play with a heavy pressure."

Yang Huan's statement made everyone present feel fresh.

As for Monaco's inability to return to Ligue 1, some people think that the strength is not good, and some people think that the club does not invest much.

These are of course some factors, but the psychological factors mentioned by Yang Huan are also very important.

Prince Albert is deeply aware of this.

Last summer, Monaco was relegated and 23 first-team players were gone, but how many were brought in?

Twelve!

Among the 23 players who left the team, there are many core players, and there is no shortage of potential rookies like Nkouru.

This was a terrible blow to Monaco.

In the past, in Ligue 1, at least 20 or 30 million euros were earned from broadcasting rights in a season.

But what about Ligue 2?

It's not much!

This forced the team to shrink their diet, had to cut their bonuses, and the players were depressed and aggrieved.

But what about management?

Desperate to rush back to Ligue 1, in the formulation of many policies, out of touch with the reality of the team.

In the end, Monaco failed to rush the armor!

"I'm pretty sure it's definitely not a reflection of Monaco's quality, it shouldn't be Monaco, this team should be in Ligue 1 or even Europe, I'm pretty sure of that!"

Yang Huan's words undoubtedly won the approval of Prince Albert.

Who's to say it isn't?

Eight years ago, Monaco was a team in the Champions League final and ended up finishing second in the Champions League!

"If I am left to full control with my team, I am confident that I will be able to return to Ligue 1 next season, return to Europe within three years and become the most serious contender for the Ligue 1 title again!"

Yang Huan's words undoubtedly made Prince Albert's eyes light up.

It's so tempting!

Looking at the Principality of Monaco today, who would dare to make such a promise?

But soon, Prince Albert realized a problem.

What Yang Huan said is full operation!

In other words, he wants 100% ownership of the club!

This couldn't help but make Prince Albert tangled.

Regardless of the fact that the Monaco royal family is no longer the team's largest shareholder, Prince Albert still has the right of veto.

This is determined by his position!

But in Yang Huan's opinion, this is unacceptable.

Whoever wants to spend a lot of money to invest in the team, but in the end they are constrained by others everywhere, isn't that asking for their own suffering?

When Yang Huan spoke, he always looked at Prince Albert, taking in the other party's reaction, and knew it in his heart.

"Your Royal Highness, I believe you should also be very clear about the crux of why the team has come to this day."

These words undoubtedly woke up Prince Albert.

The Prince of Monaco is not a fool, how can it not be clear?

In 2001, the Monaco Club was transformed into a joint-stock company, which is jointly managed by seven members of the Board of Directors, two of whom are from the royal family, and these two have veto power.

Since then, Monaco has been almost mired in managerial chaos.

Without the approval of the royal family, no move by the club could be implemented, including finding sponsors.

The years of Monaco's fiscal crisis were also the worst years for the relationship between the royal family and management.

Until 2004, Michelle? The situation only improved after Pastor became chairman of the board.

But even so, the contradictions between the royal family and the Monaco board of directors still exist.

Otherwise, how to explain that such a strong Ligue 1 giant, which has a strong background and enjoys a very low tax rate, has finally declined, or even relegated to Ligue 2?

In 2009, the current Chairman of the Board of Directors of Monaco, Etienne ? Francie takes over as president of the club.

In the former chairman from the United States financier Jerome? Morality? After Potin slashed wages and sold players to bring the club €16 million in profit with his near-miraculous ability to operate, Franci had big ambitions to revive Monaco.

As a result, in the summer of '09, Icelandic veteran Gudjohnsen was brought in for two million euros and a high salary, but half a year later, because the Icelanders did not score a goal in nine games, the table was sluggish, and the Icelanders were sent to Tottenham Hotspur during the winter break.

The same happened in 2010, when Franci brought in African centre-forward Mbokarni, who scored 15 goals in two consecutive seasons, from Standard Liege, Belgium, for 7 million euros.

But six months later, Mbokani left Monaco with a goal in 10 games and went on loan to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, but the centre-forward is now shining at Anderlecht.

Behind this qiē, in fact, it is inseparable from the intrigue of the management.

Monaco's relegation is the most painful lesson and blow to this group of managers who like infighting.

This is also a lesson for Yang Huan!

After all, Monaco is someone else's territory, you are an outsider, and if you are a villain in advance, you should be clear.

Yang Huan would rather not buy Monaco and go to Marseille instead than wade into troubled waters.

Prince Albert didn't expect that Yang Huan would know so much about the current situation of the team, but this just proves the sincerity of Yang Huan's acquisition, and he has read the business plan submitted by Yang Huan's assistant Zhao Yuanfang before.

In this plan, Yang Huan promised that after the acquisition of the team, he will invest 30 million euros to build a new training base, and the existing training base located in the northwest halfway of Monaco City will be developed into a top luxury housing project.

It has a great location overlooking the whole of Monaco, surrounded by mansions halfway up the mountain, and is also close to Monaco.

It's just that it already belongs to the territory of France.

Not under the jurisdiction of Prince Albert.

In addition, Yang Huan offered to buy the Louis II Stadium or allow him to build a new stadium on the shores of Port Hercules.

And for good reason.

Today, the total capacity of the Louis II Stadium is only 18,000, and the average attendance per game is only about 6,000, or even lower than 3,000 or 4,000, which would not have required the construction of a new stadium.

But what Yang Huan wants to do is to improve the service and experience of fans after entering the stadium, add a series of high-end consumption venues, and supporting service facilities, which cannot be given by the existing Louis II stadium.

It's the only multi-purpose stadium in Monaco with an athletics track and even the offices of the National University of Monaco in the stadium, leaving too little room for the club's management to operate.

In the existing Stade Louis II, Monaco's matchday operations are almost zero, except for a pitiful ticket revenue!

Therefore, Yang Huan's attitude is very resolute.

Monaco is a pit, you either promise me all the conditions, or I won't buy it!

For this, even Prince Albert felt.
