80_80813In the afternoon, a silver helicopter flying from Nice Airport in France slowly landed at Monaco Helicopter.

It is also the only airport in Monaco, a small country.

The cabin door was opened by Zhao Yuanfang, who came over, and Long Wu was the first to get out of the cabin, and after looking around, he jumped down.

Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing only slowly walked out at this time, and Feng Jiu fell last.

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan, welcome to Monaco!"

The Monaco club's treasurer, Domadis, who had been waiting at the helicopter airport for a long time, immediately greeted him and stretched out his hand from a distance, looking very enthusiastic.

"Hello!" Yang Huan shook hands with him politely.

Domadeus didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

This young master Huan is now famous all over the world, and Prince Albert of Monaco has to meet in person, and he is nothing in front of him, and it is good to be treated politely.

After Yang Huan was polite to Domadeus, he turned to Zhao Yuanfang and Pini, who picked up the airport? Zahavi.

The Israelite seemed excited, and if he could make this deal, he would be able to take a lot of money.

And he can also feel that Yang Huan is paying more and more attention to him.

Judging from the current situation of Monaco in the French Second League, once Yang Huan really becomes the owner, he will definitely have to make drastic adjustments to the lineup, and at that time, whether it is a reinforcement or a sale, he will be inseparable from him.

"What about Prince Albert?" Yang Huan asked casually.

"Wait in the palace!" Zhao Yuanfang came up and said.

"They booked a room in the Grand Hotel de Paris, and the place of meeting was also chosen in this hotel, I don't know if Young Master Huan wants to take a break first, and then go to meet His Royal Highness, or meet first to talk about things, and then go to rest?"

Yang Huan glanced at Zhuang Ziqing beside him, and there was no lack of tiredness on his face.

Monaco itself does not have an airport, so Yang Huan and his party had to take a plane from London to Nice, and then transfer to a helicopter from there.

It is inevitable that there will be a toss in the middle, and it is normal to be tired.

"Wait a minute, let's send Ziqing to the hotel to rest first, and then we'll talk about things!"

Zhao Yuanfang immediately nodded, beckoned Yang Huan to get into the car, and then went to tell Domadeus what Young Master Huan thought.

The latter immediately contacted the royal palace as soon as possible, so that Prince Albert could prepare as soon as possible.

The purpose of Yang Huan's trip is to buy the Monaco club.

But it's a hassle!

The current shares of the Monaco club are mainly divided into two parts, one part is held by the Monaco royal family, and the other part is owned by a company called Monaco Football Investment Company, or MFI for short.

In my previous life, when I read the newspapers, many Chinese media confused MFI with Khorabchin's MSI company when they reported on the acquisition of Monaco by Russian tycoon Ryponorev, but they didn't know that there was a big difference between the two.

MFI was founded in 2003, the year Monaco was nearly downgraded due to a debt crisis.

As the backstage owner of the Monaco club, Albert, who was still a prince at the time, brought in Michel, a well-known real estate developer in Europe, through his own connections. Pastol, Oudrucci, Piccinini and other tycoons formed the Monaco Football Investment Company and acquired 10 percent of Monaco's shares.

The French Football Federation has a strict rule that no local government can give more than a certain percentage of the annual subsidy to the team.

But at that time, Monaco had a debt of 50 million euros, and it was obviously unable to hold on.

Therefore, Albert and others used the establishment of a company to acquire the club's shares to inject capital into the club in disguise and circumvent this provision.

Later, although Monaco reached the Champions League final and won the runner-up, the results were very good, but the finances still could not make ends meet, and the MFI company was constantly injecting capital.

The most impressive thing is that in order to stabilize the hearts of Deschamps and the team, the MFI company directly took out 16 million euros, and at the same time promised the team a high bonus, which finally contributed to Monaco's Champions League final.

But in the end, they lost to Jose Mourinho's Porto in the final.

Because of the increasing debt, the MFI company is also constantly injecting capital and increasing its shareholding in the club.

MFI currently holds 51 percent of Monaco's shares, while the Monegasque royal family has lost a controlling stake with only 49 percent.

But even so, the Monaco royal family still has the power of life and death in the Monaco club.

In other words, to buy Monaco, you have to have the nod of Prince Albert.

However, there is also a little benefit, that is, after the trough of the Champions League runner-up in the past few years, Monaco has successfully escaped the debt crisis, but the fire sale of players and salary cuts have made Mona's competitive strength hover in the middle and lower reaches of Ligue 1, and even relegated to Ligue 2 in 2011, and failed to hit the first division.

On the way to the Grand Hotel de Paris Monaco, Yang Huan kept circling information about Monaco in his mind.

Of the three Ligue 1 teams he is interested in, Rennes' behind-the-scenes boss has made it clear that Rennes is not for sale.

As the saying goes, if you have no desire, you are strong, the boss of the family is also a rich man, and he is not bad for money, even if Yang Huan wants to buy it, it is not so easy.

The other Marseille team is very enthusiastic and strong, asking for around 100 million euros, but according to Kesh? According to Harris's investigation, Marseille currently has a debt of about 100 million euros.

This gave Yang Huan a headache.

A Ligue 1 team that does not have stadium ownership and asks for 200 million?

So Yang Huan aimed his main goal at Monaco.

This team does have a natural flaw, that is, the home attendance is too low, but according to Yang Huan's survey, the per capita consumption of Monaco fans in the stadium is quite high.

Didn't someone say it?

In Monaco, one out of three people is a rich man!

What's more, it's a tax haven.

In Monaco, the tax burden on the salaries of players is around 7.5 per cent.

In France, once President François Hollande introduced the so-called special wealth tax, a 75 percent tax was levied on individuals earning more than one million euros a year.

According to this tax calculation, with an annual salary of 10 million euros after tax, the cost of the club in other Ligue 1 teams is about 65 million to 70 million euros.

But what about in Monaco?

More than 11 million!

In other words, with the same amount of money, other teams in Ligue 1 can only feed one, but Monaco can feed six.

That's Monaco's greatest advantage!

Even in Yang Huan's view, this advantage can not only affect the Monaco club, but also help Southampton to avoid taxes more reasonably and prudently.

It's just football, but what if you zoom in?

As the European debt crisis continues to deepen, the EU has never been able to get out of the crisis, and it is inevitable that countries will raise taxes to save government finances, even in Germany and France.

By that time, tax havens like Monaco will have unprecedented appeal.

In addition, Monaco has another attraction to Yang Huan, and that is the Royal Yacht Club of Monaco.

This is one of the world's most important yachting organizations, with more than 1,200 super-rich members from more than 60 countries.

There are a number of top yacht clubs in China that want to become members of the Royal Yacht Club of Monaco, including the Young's yacht club, and it would be of great benefit to both Yang Huan's Sunseeker and Aston Martin.

It is precisely because of various factors other than football that Yang Huan set Monaco as the preferred target.

"Young Master Huan, it's time to the Grand Hotel in Paris!"

Zhao Yuanfang, who was in the front row, turned around and said.

The car quickly stopped at the hotel gate.

Immediately on the left and right, polite soldiers ran over to help open the door, and stood aside politely, with an indescribably respectful attitude.

"Welcome to the Grand Hotel Monaco de Paris!"

Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing got out of the car left and right, and the two walked into this low-floor, but incomparably luxuriously decorated, known as the top hotel in Monaco.

As soon as I entered the lobby, the manager who had already received the news immediately greeted me.

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan, His Royal Highness Prince Albert has arrived and is waiting for you in the upstairs living room."

After a pause, the polite middle-aged Frenchman smiled very gentlemanly again.

"In addition, the presidential suite that His Royal Highness reserved for Mr. Yang Huan has also been prepared!"

Yang Huan was still very satisfied with this kind of service attitude, and turned to look at Zhuang Ziqing.

"You go up and rest first, and I'll come back to you again!"

Zhuang Ziqing knew that he had something to talk about, so he didn't say much, nodded, and went with Feng Jiu.

Yang Huan and Zhao Yuanfang, Pinny? Zahavi, accompanied by Domadis, took the elevator to the meeting room on the third floor of the hotel.

As soon as I got out of the elevator and walked into the living room, I saw Prince Albert who was already half-bald from a distance.

"Hello, Your Royal Highness!"

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan, welcome to Monaco!"

"Thank you!"

After the two shook hands, they introduced each other to several assistants who participated in the negotiations.

It was under the introduction of Prince Albert that Yang Huan met Michelle, a well-known European real estate developer? Pastol.

It is said that this old tycoon has rarely come forward, but this time he came out in person.

This more or less made Yang Huan feel the sincerity of Monaco's side.

"Mr. Yang Huan, when you come to Monaco for the first time, you must stay for a few more days, I am sure that there will be countless people who want to have the opportunity to meet you!" Prince Albert said with a smile.

Yang Huan is now the world-renowned diamond king, needless to say, he is worth an amazing amount.

What he represents behind him is the Yang Group.

Where in the world today does not value Chinese conglomerates?

"Okay, His Royal Highness the Prince has a kind invitation, then I might as well be respectful!"

When Prince Albert heard Yang Huan agree, he also burst out laughing.

said that he was a prince and had a noble status, but that was inherited from his father.

But in reality?

This has to go out, in terms of influence, he can't catch up with Yang Huan.

At the very least, Yang Huan shouted a few words on WeChat, which can make hundreds of thousands of people follow suit, can he do it?

Prince Albert and others also have this kind of self-knowledge, so when they face Yang Huan, they are very polite.

Especially when Yang Huan mentioned that he was very interested in investing in Monaco, the Prince of Monaco smiled from ear to ear and kept welcoming him.

Not to mention, it's really good to come to Monaco to invest.

If Yang Huan remembers correctly, in the next few years, real estate throughout Europe will generally fall, but only Monaco, which has long occupied the highest position in the world's housing prices, is still rising.

The reason is just like what Yang Huan just said.

When taxes were being raised all over Europe, the rich were frantically crowding Monaco in order to avoid taxes.

Real estate has undoubtedly become their preferred way to enter Monaco.

Because they have to find a place to live, right?

However, most of Monaco's apartment buildings are very old, and land resources are scarce, so there is a strong demand for old city renovation and renovation.

This is also normal.

What rich man would want to live in that kind of dilapidated apartment building?

Of course, it is a new building with a high-end atmosphere!

Besides, the Yang Group can also attract more overseas Chinese to buy houses, killing two birds with one stone!

Therefore, as soon as he heard that Yang Huan had such a meaning, Prince Albert almost made a decision on the spot, and he would give his full support! .
