"Hello, Mr. Levi"

"Thank you for your reception, Mr. Yang Huan"

At the Royal Dock in Southampton, Yang Huan met Tottenham Hotspur's southbound Daniel Levy and his party.

Tottenham's executive went south not only to supervise the game, but also to see Southampton's new stadium project.

Tottenham Hotspur decided to spend £400 million to build a new stadium in north London after losing the London Bowl with West Ham United, and the chosen partner was Foster Architects.

Today, this firm is owned by Yang Huan.

Therefore, when Tottenham Hotspur approached Norman Foster and expressed his hope to visit Southampton's new stadium project, Yang Huan naturally agreed without hesitation and met him in person.

Both projects in Southampton are in full swing.

Standing at the Royal Pier and looking out, it is simply a hot scene.

The artificial island has a rough prototype, and it seems that the amount of work is very large.

"Mr. Yang Huan, it is not easy to convince the citizens of Southampton to agree to the construction of this project."

Levi's words are quite touching.

Tottenham Hotspur's neighbourhood is not very safe, and the spending power of fans and transportation are not very convenient.

Tottenham had long wanted to leave, as Arsenal did, and move closer to the city of London.

But as a result, the fans made a disturbance, and the plan was forced to die.

The biggest challenge facing Southampton's new stadium is undoubtedly the environment.

However, as the so-called people in the DPRK and China are easy to do, this question depends on who they are dealing with.

"The plans for the Northumberland show that you have proposed this time are also very big, and with the support of the City of London and the community, it is also not easy"

Levy shook his head and smiled bitterly, and sighed deeply, "It's always not as popular as the giant team"

That's true

Arsenal wanted to build a new stadium and all parties gave them strong support, even allowing them to leave Highbury Stadium and choose a new location.

After all, isn't it because the Gunners are a big team?

"Tottenham Hotspur has achieved quite good results in recent years, and if we persist for another two or three years, the top four will be expected," Yang Huan encouraged with a smile.

Who knows, Levi sighed deeply again, and his eyebrows looked full of helplessness.

"We're afraid we won't be able to hold on"

"What's going on?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

Levy is not afraid to confess, "We have been investing more since 0809, but in the past few years, the financial situation has been declining, and the salary of players has soared from more than 60 million in the past to more than 110 million, nearly doubled. ”

"And now, players such as Gareth Bell are asking for a salary increase, and the team's financial pressure is very high."

Tottenham Hotspur's executive is well-known in English and even European football, and he holds a quarter of Tottenham Hotspur's shares, which is considered a shareholder of the team, so he naturally hopes that Tottenham Hotspur will perform.

"The subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis hit, commercial income plummeted, and fortunately, the share of broadcast fees in the English league soared, but our financial income was the same as in 08."

On the one hand, the flat revenue, and on the other hand, the soaring share of broadcast fees, proves that Tottenham's commercial operations have not grown, but have shrunk over the past few years.

Even, if you take into account the revenue from the European arena and the profit from player transfers, the commercial income is a significant reduction

"Our financial estimate for the season is £30 million to £40 million"

Yang Huan was really a little surprised when he heard this.

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have always been the healthiest teams in the league, and if even Tottenham are like that, then the situation of other teams can be imagined.

"Many fans think that the professional league is about players and managers, but they don't know that the professional league is about capital, and players and managers are just a part of the team's many resources, and they are not even the decisive part."

Daniel Levy said with feeling.

Yang Huan also deeply agrees with this.

Before he became the owner of the team, he was just an ordinary fan, thinking that if he brought in the best stars, the best manager, and built the best team, he would be able to win the championship.

But it's not that simple.

Because a season is nine months long, the transfer period is one year.

Without sufficient resources and strong capital to back it up, no team can survive for a year.

So look at Arsenal, there are more than 100 million pounds of cash on the books, but this is normal in the professional league

Southampton has less than 100 million pounds of cash on its books, so Nicolas Cortez has to go to Yang Huan and shout for a long time, and then find a way to transfuse blood.

"If a mid-stream team wants to challenge the big teams, they either have to have a deep financial backing like you or the Abu Dhabi consortium, invest heavily for a long time, and stick to it until the team enters a virtuous circle, or learn from Arsenal"

Arsenal's approach is to keep a top-four finish every season.

Looks like a wretch, right?

Yang Huan also often makes fun of Arsene Wenger.

But this is the strategy of learning the old ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming the king.

If you don't believe me, look at the Bundesliga and La Liga.

Why is there no team that can compete with Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid for a long time?

The Bundesliga has always been Bayern's world, and teams such as Dortmund and Werder Bremen have stolen the limelight from Bayern, but they are difficult to last.

In the past few years, Dortmund has made a comeback and defeated Bayern, but how long can they last?

La Liga has also produced teams such as Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia, Real Sociedad, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, intending to challenge the Spanish duo, but which of them is not a flash in the pan?

Another simple example, Inter Milan.

Moratti suddenly played a handful of chicken blood, and after many years of crisscrossing Serie A, he wanted to fight for the Champions League, invited Mourinho, introduced a number of powerful stars, and won a treble, but what was the result?

After the treble, Inter Milan couldn't hold on, and they didn't know when they would be able to make a comeback

If professional football really has a legendary background.

That abundance of resources is the foundation of a club

Yang Huan nodded and praised: "That's right, so a team, assets are very important"

Levy smiled and nodded, "Well, Mr. Yang Huan is really not like what the outside world says, he doesn't understand football at all"

Yang Huan couldn't help but laugh.

I didn't understand it before, but as a boss, I must learn to understand these things.

The team's assets are many, the most obvious being the stadium and the training ground.

The team's three major revenues are broadcast fees, matchday revenue, and commercial revenue.

The broadcast fee is not controlled by the team, and the commercial income depends on the operational ability, but it is also related to the market environment, while the match day income depends on the stadium, which is the most stable basic income.

St Mary's Stadium has a capacity of more than 30,000, Arsenal's Emirates Stadium has a capacity of 60,000, plus Arsenal's ticket prices, the Gunners can earn tens of millions more pounds a year than Southampton.

If you include the rent of the shops and restaurants in the stadium, it will be at least more than 100 million pounds.

With this income, no matter how good your results are in Southampton, can you catch up with others?

You play an arms race with others, don't you light up in the toilet and look for death?

So, the pitch is very, very important

Yang Huan has been preparing for the new stadium since the first day of acquiring the team.

Tottenham Hotspur are now running a deficit and need to tighten their belts and build a new stadium

If it is built, there is still hope, and if it is not built, it can only wait for death

Moreover, Yang Huan also gradually tasted the meaning of Daniel Levi's words.

It seems that Tottenham Hotspur has no non-sale in the team

This guy deliberately said so much to himself, and the subtext was also saying, little brother, the stars in our team are good and cheap, who do you like, old brother, I will sell it to you, the price is fair, and Tong Su is not bullied

Who is going to make me have financial problems?

Not for sale?

Even if you win the Champions League next season, you can't pass UEFA's approval

As for Southampton, hehe, no worries.

The reason is simple, the money invested in the training base and the new stadium can offset the debt.

Therefore, Southampton is still very rich, and it is no problem to bring in Messi.

The budget of a stadium is 700 million pounds, and it is not easy to toss Messi?

"Mr. Yang Huan, I heard that you have signed a cooperation agreement with the Australian Real Estate Group?"

Australian Property Group is the world's largest listed retail property group, with more than 100 high-end shopping malls around the world.

Among them, the one at the exit of the London Olympic Village Underground, the largest shopping mall in Europe, is owned by them, costing 1.5 billion pounds, but the annual turnover is as high as 1 billion pounds.

"Yes, they became our retail partner and in the future will operate Southampton's largest shopping centre, including luxury malls, on the ground floor of our new stadium"

Southampton's new stadium is the Nine-Clawed Dragon, with nine small islands surrounding the main island.

All nine islands have been leased, with Apple deciding to operate Southampton's first apnI6v here, and Adidas and Nike setting up Southampton's largest flagship store here.

The main island is divided into two levels, and the ground floor is in the shape of a five-pointed star, on which the course is built.

Australian Properties intends to operate a high-end shopping mall on the ground floor.

"Mr. Yang Huan, can you tell us more about the details of the cooperation?"

Yang Huan smiled slightly, this is not a secret, and the media will know sooner or later.

"100 million pounds, five years"

Daniel Levy's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Oh my God"

20 million pounds a year?

Yang Huan smiled slightly, "Have you seen those nine small islands?" ”

"Hmm," Daniel Levy nodded.

"Two million pounds for a small island, a five-year contract"

"Two million?" Daniel Levy was dumbfounded.

Nine islands, that's 18 million pounds

Obediently, not much else, just for the rent of these two areas, nearly 40 million pounds a year.

And there is a restaurant inside the stadium.

Yes, I heard that the restaurant partner of Southampton's new stadium has also been found, specializing in the supply of P boxes and Southampton's group of rich second-generation members, with a rent of 20 million pounds a year.

In addition, there are ordinary restaurants, KFC, McDonald's and the like, which will definitely be stationed.

That's a total of £70 million or £80 million in rental income from Southampton's new stadium alone.

Wait, just now he said that he signed for five years at a time, and it looks like the money was given first.

In other words, Southampton wants to build this new stadium, and it has not yet started, just signing these lease contracts, and it can get two or three billion pounds.

That's two or three hundred million

Tottenham Hotspur's budget for the new stadium is only 400 million when it is full

Until now, he is still blinded and doesn't know where to raise money

But people, just move their mouths, and two or three hundred million will be in hand

People are more than people, and they can definitely anger people

Yang Huan looked at Daniel Levi's crying expression, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

What is this?

If you compare it to the real estate developers of our motherland who are empty gloves and white wolves, I am a fart

Besides, the Duke of Westminster has also contributed a lot, and this guy is still thinking about a bigger piece of cake

Among other things, Southampton received £10 million from the City Council, £25 million from the UK government, and £5 million from Southampton Community Council, giving Southampton £40 million from the government.

Once completed, these projects will provide thousands of jobs for Southampton, and will also bring huge annual revenue to the government, and even boost Southampton's economy and tourism.

Moreover, the two major projects in Southampton have been combined with the city's old city regeneration project, so it is natural for the government to give some support.

Next, Southampton is considering naming the stadium.

It is expected to earn at least £20 million a year in naming fees.

When that time comes, who dares to say that our great saints are not local tyrants?

Looking at Daniel Levi's startled poor and sour appearance, Yang Huan couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

If I really told you, wouldn't I scare you to death?

However, when it came to the poor and sour appearance, Yang Huan remembered something
