Chapter 827: You Also Deserve the Surname Zhao?
This high-level meeting held in Longhai lasted all day.
The atmosphere of the meeting was very warm, and every participant spoke freely and expressed their opinions.
There are all experienced European clubs at the helm, and what is being discussed now is closely related to their future, so everyone has shown their ability to press the bottom of the box and fight for more benefits for their team.
This is also quite normal.
Although it operates as a group, each team is an independent subsidiary.
As leaders of these subsidiaries, they naturally want their companies to grow better.
This also brings out their abilities and abilities, doesn't it?
Moreover, although the clubs still have considerable autonomy after the operation of the group, there are still many things to discuss, and only managers like them who are really involved in the front line of running the team can dig out so many potential problems and quickly give solutions after discussion.
The busiest person in the whole meeting was the female secretary who was in charge of the records.
One person simply cannot handle the heated discussions and controversies of so many people.
In the end, Yang Huan also had to ask Sun Yue to find someone temporarily, and added three more meeting minutes.
In addition to the controversy at the competitive level, there is also a great deal of controversy at the commercial level.
With the success of the Glory Plaza project in Southampton, several of Yang Huan's teams are full of ideas to emulate the Saints' way of doing business.
The new stadiums of Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are both finished, especially Inter Milan.
According to Yang Huan's previous promise, the new stadium will be officially completed before the Milan Expo, and when the time comes, tourists from all over the world will gather in Milan, which is definitely a godsend for Inter Milan.
Fasonet is a good player in the management of the stadium, and he has even begun to prepare the business plan for the new stadium of Inter Milan, especially in terms of attracting investment.
But now, if you want to operate as a group, how to distribute the management rights of the stadium is a problem.
Follow the easiest way? That is to fight on their own, which is also the most convenient.
But is it a good solution?
The answer is not necessarily!
This is a bit like the difference between a large chain home appliance store and a small store all over the country.
Yes, some small stores are indeed doing very good business, and even sell better than chain stores in the area, and things are sold cheaper than chain stores, but are they competitive?
You know, big-box stuff is expensive, that's one of their strategies.
With the sales ability of chain hypermarkets, when they purchase goods from channel dealers, the strong negotiation power is absolutely impossible for small stores to have in their lifetime, and they can reduce the purchase price to an incredible level.
Even, once it is the holidays, they have enough ability to ask the channel providers to reduce their profits, cooperate with them to increase sales, and then pull the discount to the minimum, which small stores definitely do not have.
Therefore, according to Yang Huan's assumption, since it is a group operation, the commercial resources of each team should be integrated at that time, including sponsors and the operation of the business ecosystem within the stadium, as well as the surrounding area of the stadium.
Because in this way, the group will have more say in negotiations with sponsors and merchants.
This time, Southampton, Inter Milan, Monaco and Atletico Madrid have signed blockbuster sponsorship contracts with a number of major consortiums, including Nike and Qatar Airways.
It can be seen that integration is competitive!
But from the point of view of the club operator, it is indeed a bit troublesome.
Because this time it's the chest advertising and jersey sponsorship, both of which are the main sponsors, that's a little better, because just those two or three sponsorships, the cost is relatively high, and it is easier to distribute.
But if it comes to those small sponsorships, or brand authorization, it will be a headache.
Moreover, how to distribute the benefits at that time is not so simple.
In addition, as the owner of a club, if everything is integrated into it, then they will not have much autonomy in their hands, which is not necessarily a good thing for running a football team.
Yang Huan sat in the conference room, listening attentively, but also with a big head.
Because there are too many trivial details involved, and too many benefits are involved.
It's not at all a question of who has a point and who doesn't.
It's that everyone has a point!
That's going to be hard!
Therefore, after discussing for a whole day, Yang Huan finally had to stand up and express his position again, the operation of the group is imperative, and the integration of resources in all aspects must also be done, and there will be difficulties, but we can't stop because of difficulties.
Therefore, Yang Huan proposed an integration strategy of grasping the big and letting go of the small, first the easy and then the difficult.
It's like this time the main sponsors of the four teams are well integrated, and the negotiations are very smooth, which can be described as a happy person!
In the end, the first high-level meeting ended with Yang Huan's strong statement.
After the meeting, Yang Huan held a banquet in his hotel to entertain everyone.
…………
…………
"Whew, Niang Xipi, it's more tiring than playing a game!"
Yang Huan sat on the sofa in the room and exhaled heavily.
After a whole day of meetings, he had to deal with the drinking of that group of guys, and fortunately he was not drunk with a thousand glasses, if not, I am afraid that he would have drunk by now.
Sun Yue and Zhao Yuanfang both followed Young Master Huan in, and sat on the sofa opposite, seeing Young Master Huan's appearance, they both felt funny, as if to say, Young Master Huan, you finally understand our hard work, right?
"Young Master Huan, why don't I help you press it twice to keep your spirits alive?" Sun Yue said with a smile.
"Oh, no!" Yang Huan immediately woke up, "Just your rough hands, I'll let you press it, isn't that a living sin?" ”
As soon as I said this, I couldn't help but think of the small steps at home, if she was there, press it twice, how comfortable would it be?
"By the way, Lao Zhao, how is your progress there?"
As soon as Sun Yue heard Young Master Huan call Lao Zhao, he immediately couldn't help but laugh.
Zhao Yuanfang was depressed, he felt like Sun Yue was ridiculing him, you are also worthy of the surname Zhao?
"Young Master Huan, next time, call me Yuan Fang!" Zhao Yuanfang said with an aggrieved face.
"I'll rub, you think I'm Di Renjie, still Yuanfang!" Yang Huan laughed and scolded again.
This time, Sun Yue laughed even more unscrupulously.
But this is also a private joke, and after laughing, it gets to the point.
"Master Huan, the shares of Benfica and Ajax, we have basically swept away, and now there are only a few major shareholders left, in addition, we are also actively contacting the Amsterdam city government, hoping to acquire all the remaining shares of the Arena Stadium, so that it is convenient for us to transform it in the future."
Contrary to what many people think, Ajax's home stadium, the Arena Stadium, is not owned by Ajax.
Even, Ajax only holds 13% of the shares of the Arena Stadium.
The real majority shareholder is the City of Amsterdam!
Moreover, at present, a prosperous business circle has been formed around the Arena Stadium, and the surrounding supporting facilities also belong to the Arena Stadium, so according to Yang Huan's meaning, they must all be won.
"Good, make sure to finish it as soon as possible!" Yang Huan still trusts Zhao Yuanfang's ability.
"Oh, by the way, the land around Detokmostt is also going to be taken, and the expansion of the training base is imperative."
Ajax's training base is near the Arenal Stadium, but the area is not large, and there have been no outstanding players in recent years, once Yang Huan takes over, Ajax is bound to become an important base for the group to cultivate young players.
In this case, the expansion of Detokmoste was imperative.
Moreover, after Zhao Yuanfang's field investigation and research, he felt that a vacant land on both sides of the main road in the city between the Arenal Stadium and Detokmoste had great potential for development and could be used for development.
In the past few years, the windmill kingdom of the Netherlands has also been a very popular place for Chinese tourists, and the number of tourists has been increasing year by year, with about 250,000 people visiting the Netherlands in 2013, and the number of tourists is still growing rapidly.
In recent years, Chinese enterprises have invested in the Netherlands quite frequently, especially this year, it is expected that nearly 200 enterprises will invest in the Netherlands, and more than 500 Chinese enterprises will settle in the Netherlands.
It is foreseeable that in the coming years, there will be an increasing number of Chinese tourists visiting the Netherlands.
In the Netherlands, there are several airports, but long-haul flights only stop at Amsterdam's international airport.
The Arena Stadium is not far from the international airport and is located in the south of the city of Amsterdam, so the transportation is very convenient, both in terms of location and development potential, it is quite good.
"In addition, the acquisition of Benfica is almost underway, there are only one or two shareholders left who are still negotiating, but I believe that the problem is not very big, because Benfica itself has agreed to be bought by us, so it is ......"
Zhao Yuanfang's words gave Yang Huan another reassurance.
Because of the Portuguese language, the Portuguese Super League has a natural attraction for players from South American countries.
Winning Benfica is tantamount to drawing a strong stroke for Yang Huan's European football map.
And what's more interesting is that among the teams in Yang Huan's hands, in addition to Southampton, Monaco and Atletico Madrid reaching the Champions League, there are also Belgium's Anderlecht, Czech Republic's Sparta Prague, Switzerland's Basel, Portugal's Benfica, and the upcoming Ajax, all of which have entered the Champions League.
With the exception of Sparta Prague, who need to play the fourth qualifying round, all other teams will go straight to the group stage.
In other words, at least 10 million euros or 20 million euros to start!
This is also what Yang Huan heard many managers mention at the meeting just now, that is, how to ensure the competitiveness of the teams in their respective leagues and continue to enter the group stage of the Champions League.
Yang Huan also promised that the group will invest a sum of money to improve the training base, stadium and supporting commercial facilities around the stadium of each team, and will also invest a large transfer budget to enhance the competitiveness of each team.
Therefore, after the implementation of group operation, on the whole, it is thriving.
"Good, good!" After listening to Zhao Yuanfang's report, Yang Huan couldn't stop nodding.
"Yuan Fang, you have to complete this matter as soon as possible, it's already the beginning of August, and there is not much time left until the end of the transfer period, so you must be fast, let them submit a list of reinforcements from each team, and you tell them that it is mainly young players."
Yang Huan's positioning for teams such as Ajax was originally based on cultivating young players.
Therefore, he does not expect these teams to produce results, and even, to some extent, whether they can reach the Champions League is not the point, how to control the team's operating costs and cultivate more talents, this is the key.
As for the money, the top league sells just one player, and it's enough for them to run for a year.
Therefore, Yang Huan didn't pay attention to it at all.
At this moment, outside the door of the hotel room, someone rang the doorbell.
"Who?" Sun Yue was a little strange, and immediately got up and walked over to open the door.
It's so late, who else is coming?
