"Hey, Hamad, call me at this time, what's the matter?"

Yang Huan sat on a chair with soft cushions, looking indescribable.

Peternien, who looked at the other side, was amused in his heart, this eldest young master was really ...... sometimes

"Young Master Huan, there is someone who wants to meet you, I don't know what you mean."

Hamad appeared polite on the other end of the phone.

This kid is actually quite smart, and when no one is around, he is very casual, and even a little messy.

But once outsiders participated, he was very knowledgeable.

Otherwise, Yang Huan would not have had a personal relationship with him.

"Who? Can you let the little prince of the Middle East come forward in person? Yang Huan asked with a smile.

The implication is that even you have come forward, can I not see you?

Hamad smiled, "Actually, I guess you also know, Manchester City's CEO, Mubarak." ”

"Is that him?" Yang Huan was stunned.

Mubarak has met a few times, most recently at the Premier League chairman's summit, but there has been little exchange.

How could this very low-key Manchester City leader suddenly come to the door?

Yang Huan felt a little strange in his heart, but he seemed to have vaguely guessed something.

Anyway, looking for Yang Huan at this time is nothing more than for those few things

"Young Master Huan, if you don't like to see him, I'll help you get back" Hamad, this kid is also righteous.

Yang Huan laughed, "Back to what?" Bring him here."

"Okay, hehe, we'll be there in an hour"

Dare you, they're in London

After Yang Huan hung up the phone, he looked at Peternion again and talked about Mubarak.

"He came here for no more than two purposes, one is to transfer, and the other is the International Champions Cup."

With Manchester United confirmed, there are only eight group places left for the first edition of the International Champions Cup.

The outside media also attaches great importance to this event, and the organizers have been revealing the news intentionally or unintentionally.

Now for the last spot, it is widely believed to be one between AC Milan and Chelsea.

But in Yang Huan's opinion, the scores of these two teams are a bit big.

It's really hard to talk about, Manchester City is not bad, and the influence of this team in the United States is not bad.

While waiting, Yang Huan made a special call to Zhuang Zicheng.

The hacker kid is now Yang Huan's personal intelligence station, and there is almost no information that he can't find.

I don't know if I don't check this, and I'm shocked when I check it.

Everyone knows that the behind-the-scenes boss of Manchester City is Al Fahim, a member of the royal family of Abi Dhabi and the helm of the Abu Dhabi consortium, with an astonishing amount of money.

But I'm afraid few people know that Mubarak, who was actually appointed as the chairman of Manchester City by Al-Fahim, actually has another identity, that is, the chairman of the board of directors of Abu Dhabi Mudarah.

Mudara Development Corporation is one of the main investment armies of the UAE government, with an extensive business and more than US$50 billion in wealth under control, including in the new energy and technology sectors.

Yang Huan smiled bitterly.

You, there are really not many local tyrants in the Middle East, tens of billions of dollars at every turn, and they don't let people live?

In addition to these two major conglomerates, there is also an even more amazing Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, with assets of more than $600 billion.

But what about having money?

If you really encounter something, don't you have to take the initiative to come to the door?

Just when Yang Huan couldn't help but feel a little proud, Hamad and Mubarak had already arrived.

The chairman of Manchester City is actually very young, looking only in his thirties, wearing a pair of gentle and elegant glasses, and has the temperament of a scholar, no matter how you look at it, you can't connect with the impression of the Middle East.

If nothing else, let's just say that Hamad is inferior to Mubarak in temperament.

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan"

"Hello, Mr. Mubarak"

After the two shook hands and said a few kind words, everyone sat down separately.

"Mr. Yang Huan, when I came here just now, I went to the Royal Pier in Southampton first, your Saints' new stadium is amazing, it is amazing" Mubarak gave Yang Huan enough face as soon as he came up.

"Thank you, I also learned about the design of your new training base at Manchester City, which is very, very good"

Manchester City's stadium is not bad, but the training base is old.

Coincidentally, Manchester City's training base is in Carrington, next door to Manchester United.

But comparatively speaking, Manchester City's training base is significantly inferior to Manchester United.

That's why Mubarak has always wanted to rebuild a state-of-the-art training base.

But if Yang Huan remembers correctly, it seems that this matter is not very smooth, and it was blocked by a nail household who is a Manchester United fan, and it has not started until 2014, when he crossed.

"I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Yang Huan, I came this time mainly for two purposes."

Yang Huan nodded noncommittally.

'The first purpose is to learn, and although we got into football earlier than you and we won the league last season, we found that in many ways we are not as good as Southampton.

This is also true

To take the simplest example, Southampton won the Europa League last season, not only because of the team, but also because of the comeback of Toni Offroos at a critical moment, and the popularity of traditional Chinese medicine massage.

As soon as the media dug up after the game, Southampton's player count analysis and research system also caught fire.

Manchester City have been investing heavily in the field of digital analysis since 2009, but in reality, the output has been far from ideal.

But Southampton has achieved such amazing results, not to mention Manchester City, and the entire European football world is full of curiosity about this mysterious system, and they are wondering, is it really that magical?

As everyone knows, the same is the analysis of the number of studies, but the power given to researchers by Manchester City is far less than that of Southampton.

At the Saints, whether a player can play or not, or even for how long, Satoy and others have a decisive say.

But at Manchester City, their group of analysts looks more like an adjunct to what comes and what goes when it is called.

Moreover, Yang Huan also gave the maximum support to the analysis team, asking for money for money, asking people to give people, and even when he encountered a problem, he waved his hand, and the whole team had to cooperate.

That's something City can't do

Therefore, when Mubarak proposed that he would arrange someone to study and introduce the research results of Southampton, Yang Huan agreed without hesitation.

If you want to learn, I will teach, as for whether you can learn or not, it depends on your own ability

Mubarak was originally worried that this matter would not be so easy, but he didn't expect Yang Huan to be so bold.

Therefore, the Emiratis are not stingy, saying that when they cooperate in this regard, they will definitely not let Southampton suffer.

The implication is that we can't do it with technology and equipment, but we have a lot of money, don't worry, you will make a price when the time comes

"I have another purpose for going south this time, that is, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Yang Huan."

"Oh?"

"I heard that Mr. Yang Huan is actively planning the International Champions Cup."

"Hmm" Yang Huan nodded, looking very honest.

Combined with the previous bold promise to cooperate with Manchester City, it makes people feel that he is very sincere in making friends.

"I wonder if you're interested in finding a sponsor?"

"Several are in contact." Yang Huan replied without being salty.

"It's not negotiated yet," Mubarak laughed.

Yang Huan didn't deny it, nodded and said, "It's still a little close." ”

"We at Etihad Airways are very interested in developing the US market in the coming years, and we hope to be able to name this event."

"Title?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

Could it be that the Middle East digs for oil, and the money is really so easy to make?

"We are willing to offer a naming fee of 20 million euros per year to become the largest sponsor of this event for five years"

The so-called naming right, to put it bluntly, means that when promoting the event, the name of the sponsor must be added first.

In other words, after accepting the sponsorship, the International Champions Cup will have to be renamed the Etihad International Champions Cup.

In addition, the organizer will no longer be allowed to accept sponsorship from other airlines, or even other companies of the same type, such as railways.

Yang Huan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Five years is too long, three years at most"

"Three years?" Mubarak was a bit surprised.

Could it be that Yang Huan is so confident in the promotion of this event?

"To tell you the truth, in my opinion, three years is already a very friendly price, I have been preparing for this event for a full year, and I am confident that I can ignite the American ball market in July and August this year."

This period of time coincides with the gap between American competitions, with football and NHA events all in the shutdown phase, and only Major League Baseball still has events, but baseball is no longer attractive in the minds of young fans.

Therefore, football is working hard in this period of time, just to fill this gap.

In Yang Huan's view, the market is already there, and it depends on whether you can operate it.

But in Mubarak's opinion, Yang Huan, a young man, is inevitably too confident.

Even, they are a little overconfident

You know, a sponsorship fee of 20 million euros a year is quite high for a newly launched event.

If it weren't for the participation of giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, and if it weren't for the confidence in the operational ability of Yang Huan and Miracle Media, Mubarak would definitely not have made such a decision.

Unexpectedly, Yang Huan would have such self-confidence

It's kind of interesting

"I have one last place in my hand and can play if City are interested"

Yang Huan threw out a piece of fat again.

For Manchester City, even if he wins a league title, in the eyes of everyone, he is still a local tyrant and an upstart.

So what Manchester City needs to do most now is to accumulate.

Mixing with a group of top giants is undoubtedly a great opportunity to establish your position as a wealthy club.

Thinking of this, Mubarak had to sigh in his heart.

is also buying a team, and it is also spending a lot of money, but Yang Huan has smashed out of relationships and connections, and has faintly entered the inner circle of European professional football, and Yang Huan himself has also entered the British upper class social circle.

But Manchester City has been excluded from the periphery from beginning to end, as if they were cash machines for other teams.

And this time, without a doubt, is a very good opportunity to integrate into the inner circle of European football.

Therefore, this time Manchester City can only be a junior brother for Southampton, and follow the Saints

"Okay, it's just three years, but I want your promise, if you can run this event within three years, we will renegotiate the naming fee, at the same price, we have priority, as for Manchester City, we will definitely participate"

Mubarak, on the other hand, was very bold and made a decision on the spot.

It's like the chairman of a large consortium that controls tens of billions of dollars

"Okay, let's make a decision" Yang Huan didn't hesitate, and agreed directly.

With a naming fee of 20 million euros, you can at least lose a little.

And that's just the beginning.

There are more places to get sponsorship, take your time, don't rush
