80_80813 A skyscraper in Manhattan, New York, USA, in the office of RS Company.

Matt Higgins pressed the number on the phone expectantly and made a transatlantic call.

In an instant, a phone rang somewhere in London, the British capital of Europe, across the Atlantic.

"Hello, Ms. Granovskia!"

As soon as they connected, Matt Higgins immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Higgins!" Granovskia listened to the phone, "Excuse me, what's the matter?" ”

"Oh, yes, Ms Granovskia, we want to know if you Chelsea have already confirmed training camps and warm-up matches this summer?"

Matt Higgins's tone was polite.

No way, who made them ask for help now?

"Summer warm-up?" Where is Granovskia still in front of Abramovich.

In front of people, she is the number one Chelsea leader, and apart from Roman Abramovich, even Bruce Barker can't do anything about her.

"Do you still hold the North American Invitational?"

That's right...... Directly made Matt Higgins on the other side of the microphone almost not collapse.

But he still held back in the end, and kept nodding, "Yes, it must be done!" ”

"Oh!" Granovskia didn't say anything more.

Matt Higgins knew what was going on and immediately asked: "I wonder if you Chelsea are interested in participating in our tournaments again?" ”

"Uh......" Granovskia muttered for a while, "I wonder which teams you plan to invite this year?" ”

Matt Higgins immediately came to his senses and quickly smiled: "We have decided to continue to invest more this year and invite a group of excellent European teams, such as Everton and AC Milan, and Atletico Madrid, plus several teams in the United States. ”

"Oh!" Granovskia thought for a moment, "Okay, then you can send a fax, and I'll ask our boss again." ”

"Eh, okay, okay, I'll send it right away!"

After that, Matt Higgins did not forget to thank Granovskia.

No way, with the success of last year's International Champions Cup, the North American Invitational Tournament organized by RS Company was really miserable.

Whether it is the attendance rate or the business operation, RS can be said to be a mess.

This time, if it weren't for Matt Higgins and Charlie Stillitano who tried their best to convince Stephen Rose, I am afraid that the American real estate tycoon would not have planned to continue investing.

But even so, they decided to avoid the International Champions Cup schedule.

Who let the huge gap last year leave such a deep shadow on them?

After hanging up the phone, Matt Higgins laughed, "Finally another big club!" ”

With that, he put a tick on the Chelsea name.

Further down, it's Atletico Madrid.

This team is the dark horse of La Liga this season, and currently ranks at the top of the table, and Diego Simeone's team can be described as the limelight, which shocked everyone.

You know, last year, Miracle Media can be said to include the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga giants and league champion teams.

This time, however, they left out Atletico Madrid.

Who would have thought that this season's Sheets would be able to perform so well, and still beat Real Madrid and Barcelona to the top of La Liga?

This is equivalent to the opportunity of the fish!

And for a sling team like Atletico Madrid, they must be happy to have the opportunity to participate in the North American Invitational Tournament, which is millions, or even nearly 10 million euros, can they not be happy?

So, in Matt Higgins' view, Atletico Madrid is ironclad.

So, he also left the Sheet Corps at the end.

I pressed the number again and called directly.

"Hello, this is the Atletico de Madrid Calderón stadium!" The voice of a woman at the front desk came from the other side of the phone.

"Okay, I'm RS in the United States."

The person on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, "America? RS Company? Is there anything wrong? ”

"Oh, that's right, we're going to invite you to one of the cups we've organized, can you help me transfer Mr. Soriano?" Matt Higgins raised his head and narrowed his abdomen this time, and he had more face.

Against Chelsea, he can only admit it, but in front of Atletico Madrid, he has to put on a show.

"Okay, wait a minute!" The front desk also seemed very polite.

The call was quickly transferred, and within a few seconds, it was connected again.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Hello, Mr. Soriano, I'm the organizer of the North American Invitational, Matt Higgins of RS in the United States!"

"Hello, Mr. Higgins, I'm not Soriano, he's not here now!"

"Absent?" Matt Higgins was a little surprised.

"Yes, he's on a business trip!"

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"I'm Begiristan, and if there's anything you can tell me."

Begiristan?

Atletico Madrid's second-in-command!

"That's right, Mr. Begiristan, we successfully hosted the North American Invitational Tournament last year, which attracted a lot of attention in North America and even around the world, so we intend to continue to expand our influence this year, you Atletico Madrid have been eye-catching in La Liga this season, I wonder if you are interested in participating in our event?"

Matt Higgins looked confident, smiled and explained his intentions, and then began to wait for an answer from the other side of the phone.

In the picture he made up in his head, the person on the other side of the phone, after listening to it, should have smiled and agreed, yes, we are very happy to participate, and even the participation fee can be cheaper.

But what he didn't expect was that Begiristan almost didn't even think about it, and as soon as he heard it, he shook his head directly.

"I'm sorry, we're not considering participating in your event yet!"

"What?" Matt Higgins was shocked.

That's millions, if not nearly 10 million euros.

"Mr. Begiristan, our appearance fee is very generous, and the venue of the game is in the United States, which can help you expand the influence of the Atletico Madrid brand in North America, and ......"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Higgins, we really can't attend!"

"No, if it's an appearance fee or something, we can talk about it!"

"It's not a question of appearance fees!"

No?

Matt Higgins, on the contrary, felt that it must be a matter of appearance fees, and the other party was bargaining.

Even, maybe even Soriano didn't come forward, which was one of their negotiation tricks.

"Okay, Mr. Begiristan, I can represent the company and give you the same level of appearance fees as Chelsea and AC Milan, so that you can get at least 10 million euros or so for Atletico Madrid!"

This is the limit of what RS can offer!

Who knows, Begiristan still shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Higgins, it's really not a matter of appearance fees." ”

"Why is that?" Matt Higgins was depressed.

As he understands, European teams usually don't finalize their summer preparations in February.

Besides, with the temptation of 10 million euros, even if the summer preparations are finalized, it can be completely changed!

"We decided to participate in the Asia Challenge organized by Miracle Media!"

"The Asian Challenge?" Matt Higgins was stunned.

When did Miracle Media come up with such an event?

Aren't they organizing the International Champions Cup? Why is there suddenly an extra Asia Challenge?

Don't......

Matt Higgins immediately realized that Miracle Media was planning an expansion of the International Champions Cup!

And it's targeting Asia!

Therefore, in the summer of this year, they launched the Asian Challenge to try it out, find out the details of the Asian region, and lay the foundation for the expansion of the international Champions Cup in the future.

"Excuse me, Mr. Begiristan, is it inconvenient for Fang to disclose the list of invited teams for the Asian Challenge?"

Matt Higgins asked cheekily.

Begiristan on the other end of the phone laughed a few times, "I'm sorry, Mr. Higgins, there's nothing I can do!" ”

With that, Begiristan hung up the phone.

Matt Higgins looked at the microphone in his hand in a daze, and he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Miracle Media's International Champions Cup is about to expand!

The so-called Asian Challenge is definitely just a warm-up, and what Miracle Media really wants to do is to expand its army!

And since it is an expansion, then at least one more group, four teams!

The teams that participated last year all signed five-year contracts in one go, so this time, who are the other three teams participating in the Asian Challenge, except for Atletico Madrid?

With Yang Huan's connections in the Premier League and the influence of the Premier League in Asia, there must be one in the Premier League.

Who will be the other two teams?

When he thought of this, Matt Higgins couldn't help but feel a little at a loss, and his whole body felt cold.

Miracle Media is so wealthy, now that the International Champions Cup is completed, if it expands further, it will be a heavy blow to the North American Invitational Tournament carefully prepared by RS Company.

There are only a few top teams in Europe, and the schedule is fixed for that period of time, if they go to the International Champions Cup, how can they participate in the North American Invitational at the same time?

This is to force us to death!

Don't let people live?

Matt Higginston panicked!

…………

…………

When Matt Higgins called Stephen Ross and Charlie Stillitano in a panic to report the latest developments and intelligence, Yang Huan walked into the private banquet hall of Miami's top hotel with a smile.

It is home to the owners and core executives of major European teams.

"Hello Young Master Huan!"

"Mr. Yang Huan, good evening!"

"I'm so glad to see you, Young Master Huan!"

"You are much more handsome than in the photo, Mr. Yang Huan!"

Yang Huan accepted everyone's praise and greetings with a smile all the way, and kept shaking hands and talking with European giants under the introduction of Sun Yue on the side.

It is not only the eight giants who participated in the International Champions Cup last year, but also the core executives of several teams participating in the Asian Challenge.

Among them, Florentino could not participate, but arranged for his right-hand man Sanchez to come to the scene, and asked Sanchez to apologize to Yang Huan.

But Barcelona's Russell, Manchester United's David Gill, Manchester City's Mubarak and others all came to the scene, giving enough face to Miracle Media and Yang Huan.

Jokes aside, Miracle Media's International Champions Cup is not only a lucrative appearance fee, but also earns enough eyeballs and attention for the participating teams, and more importantly, provides them with exposure and attracts more sponsors to join.

Of the eight teams that competed last year, which one didn't make a lot of money?

It's like Manchester United, who signed Chevrolet to the most expensive shirt sponsorship ad in history.

It's scary to think about!

Because of this, the participating teams generally pay more attention to this event.

Even, they are planning to start their summer preparations around this event
