"Staying in a five-star hotel?"

On the first floor of St. Mary's Stadium, in Yang Huan's office, Nikola? Cortez almost soared out of the highest tenor of his life.

The purpose was to show his surprise and unacceptability at this moment.

"Do you know how much a night in a five-star hotel costs?"

Opposite him, Sun Yue had a very calm smile on his face, nodded and said, "I know, I live in a five-star hotel now." ”

Nikolai? Cortez was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that this guy had lived in the Grand Harbour Hotel for more than half a month.

"Since you know how much a night in a five-star hotel is, then you should know that three referees in a game, plus the fourth official, their food and accommodation are a lot of expenses."

"Even if we play once a week, if we arrange it in a five-star hotel, there are 24 teams in League One, and there are 46 rounds of matches, including 23 rounds at home, you can figure out for yourself how much it costs."

After all, Nikolai? Cortez huffed and sat on the other seat in front of Yang Huan.

"Don't forget it, do you think you can spend 100,000 pounds?" Sun Yue still asked for a long time.

Nikolai? Cortez smiled wryly, "Is 100,000 pounds less?" And you said that you would give each person a gift every game, my God, don't you know that we are now in debt? ”

Southampton is indeed in debt this summer, and almost all the team's reinforcements are paid by Yang Huan out of his own pocket, which are counted in the team's debts, but Yang Huan is the owner of the team.

"Don't be so nervous, gifts are not valuable, and it is not a big deal to receive them in a five-star hotel, but it can help us establish a good image in the hearts of the referees."

Speaking of this, Sun Yue paused, "At the beginning, I said that I wanted to give a gift to reporters, but you didn't think it was necessary, but now you see, in the past 20 days, we have appeared in England's newspapers every day, and this attention is only available to a few top teams in England." ”

Nikolai? Cortez also had to admit that the gift was a small gift, not worth much, even now, as soon as there is any news about the team, they will hold press conferences, send gifts and things, and even invite reporters to eat, which makes Southampton's relationship with reporters very lively, and the treatment of reporters to Southampton is indeed very high.

Sun Yue has carried over some of the domestic ideas to Britain, and this set of ideas can work anywhere in the world.

In recent times, Southampton's popularity has been far ahead in League One.

Not much else, the team is currently in talks with shirt sponsor Umbro to increase the shirt sponsorship from £2 million to £5 million, especially after the signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

It is believed that it will be difficult for Umbro to refuse Southampton, because if Umbro refuses, Southampton will quickly switch to other sponsors.

Not only shirt sponsors, but also chest advertising sponsorships, Southampton did not hesitate to reject some sponsors under £1 million, and the current sponsorship market has quickly increased to £2 million.

But Yang Huan and Sun Yue still rejected all sponsorship intentions, and they planned to knock the sponsors hard after Ibrahimovic's transfer was announced.

As long as Southampton maintains its current share of media attention, the cost of sponsorship will certainly not be low.

Yang Huan silently listened to the two assistants arguing, in fact, Nikolai? Cortez is arguing, Sun Yue is calmly seeing the moves, and as the owner of the team, it is difficult for him to say who is right and who is wrong.

After all, one is thinking about how to save money, and the other is to achieve the purpose of building publicity.

"Alright, you two don't fight!"

Yang Huan saw that the two of them were almost arguing, and he also came forward to shout to stop.

You can't let them keep arguing, can you?

"Nikolai, I think your idea is good, but Sun Yue's plan is more in line with my taste, so this matter will be handed over to Sun Yue, and he will be responsible for marketing and external public relations in the future."

Yang Huan felt that it was necessary to divide the work for the two assistants and clarify each other's permissions.

"As for you, Nikolai, you are in charge of the day-to-day operation of the team and the transfer operations, especially the construction of the training base and the community promotion plan that we have drawn up earlier, both of which are key projects of the team exhibition."

The community promotion plan was developed before Yang Huan took over Southampton, and the attendance of St Mary's Stadium still depends on the support of local fans, so the community promotion plan is very important.

Nikolai? Cortez's wife is the person in charge of this project, and after Yang Huan took over the saints, he did not make personnel transfers, and continued to use the previous team.

Nikolai? Cortez listened and sighed helplessly.

"I told you a long time ago, Young Master Huan is a person who does great things, unlike you who are so calculating, can Young Master Huan see it in his eyes when it comes to hundreds of thousands of things? Small-bellied chicken intestines, narrow-minded, how to do big things? "Sun Yue saw Nikolai? Cortez was deflated and laughed and mocked.

Yang Huan listened to it, and his heart was very refreshed, but he coughed heavily twice, "If you dare to slap my ass again, I will break your neck, kick your little balls, and then throw you to the gay bar to pick up soap, don't believe it!" ”

When Sun Yue heard this, he immediately panicked, and immediately laughed with him, "Don't dare to try, don't dare to try." ”

Nikolai? Cortez still shook his head and sighed, "You don't know, I looked at the team's financial situation last month, we lost more than 10 million pounds last month, several heavy reinforcements this month, plus a series of expenditures, I looked panicked, full of financial deficits." ”

Yang Huan and Sun Yue glanced at each other, both of them knew that this was the truth, who made Southampton a League One team?

And Southampton didn't have much of a commercial outlet in the past, which made the team's ability to generate revenue extremely poor.

After Yang Huan took over, all of them came out from scratch and created them step by step.

Nikolai? Cortez is a banker by turn, and he has a natural resistance to deficits, so last season, Southampton under him was not profitable, but also did not lose much.

And to know, in Nikolai? Before Cortez took charge of Southampton, the Saints had just fallen into financial crisis and were deducted ten league points for it. Cortez does have a strong business capability in this area.

"Don't worry, Nikolai, it'll get better!" Yang Huan said soothingly.

"Yes, we all understand your difficulties."

Sun Yue is not as casual as he seems, on the contrary, he was able to integrate into the entire management structure of Southampton in less than a month, and his ability, especially the ability to handle the relationship with colleagues, is very good.

Nikolai? Cortez and Sun Yue, one is good at business, the other is good at marketing and public relations.

With the two of them by her side, Yang Huan was very relaxed, and she was able to spare more time to bubble girls.

When it comes to pickled girls, Yang Huan thinks of Zhang Ning.

It's a shame to say that he can't even soak the women he raises, he really can't see the fathers and villagers of Longhai City!

Jonathan? Moss, 39, is one of England's new young referees.

According to the characteristics of the English league, Jonathan? Moss is not yet eligible to be part of the elite refereeing team dedicated to the English League, and given his young age and need to gain more experience, he is currently randomly refereed in the four levels of professional leagues in League Two, League One, Championship and England.

This time, he was appointed as the referee for the opening match of the 2010-2011 season in League One, when Southampton hosted Plymouth, which was also a testament to his ability to take the spot.

As is customary, he arrived in Southampton a day early, along with two linesmen and a fourth officer.

The Saints picked them up at the train station in a luxurious Bentley.

"I've always heard that the new owner of Southampton is very rich, but I didn't expect it to be true, and the connection to the car is all Bentley."

"I'm afraid it's the only one in the English professional league, right?"

"Well, not even Manchester City."

The two linesmen in the car laughed and talked about Southampton's high-profile reception.

Jonathan? Moss sat there and didn't speak, he was used to this kind of scene, and even he could expect that this kind of high-level reception would continue in the future, and then there would be people from the club who would come up and get close to them.

This kind of thing had happened many times, and he didn't find it strange.

But as a professional referee, he has his own bottom line, because he knows very well that there is a fourth official on the sidelines, there is a match supervisor in the stands, and his every move on the pitch will be recorded by them one by one, and the referee company will score his decision after the game, and if the rating is not qualified, he will face a fine or even a ban.

In the past, the referee was only a part-time job, and everyone was relatively indifferent, but now he is a full-time referee, Jonathan? Moss didn't dare joke about his professional future.

Therefore, he has always been wary of Southampton's high-level reception.

He even suspected that Southampton was going to bribe before the race.

"How people receive them is their business, what should we do, and what should we do."

Jonathan? Moss's words were echoed by the two linesmen, who both knew that his every move was being monitored.

To their surprise, the reception was indeed a high-standard reception.

Southampton arranged for them to stay at the Grand Harbour Hotel, which, according to the driver, was the best hotel in Southampton, where the club's new owner, Yang Huan, lived.

This further increases the number of Jonathan? The suspicion of Moss and others.

But when they checked into the hotel, they found that the people of Southampton had never appeared in front of them again.

Even the new owner of the club, who is rumored to be staying at the Grand Harbour Hotel.

Which makes Jonathan? The three of Moss were a little ashamed, and they lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

At noon the next day, just before the start of the first game of the new season, the Southampton driver drove the Bentley again to the hotel and took them to St Mary's Stadium.

When the referees arrived at St Mary's Stadium, there weren't many fans left, and Southampton's executive chairman, Nicolas Murphy, arrived at St Mary's Stadium. Cortez simply came over to meet them, said hello, and then arranged for a staff member to meet them.

Check the playing field and locker room, Jonathan? Moss proceeded step by step according to the pre-match process and recorded all the qiē, which were to be submitted to the referee company for filing after the match.

Throughout the process, Southampton did not show any unprofessionalism or the slightest hint of being close to them.

Which makes Jonathan? While Moss and others were relieved, they couldn't help but have a good impression of this team.

'If every English team is as professional as they are, it will be a lot easier for us. The fourth official said with a smile.

For them, it is very common for them to face the pressure and even verbal intimidation of the home team management or the fans before the game, and even the FA has no way to stop it.

This happens a lot in the lower leagues, so the referee is often under a lot of pressure.

But Southampton now gives them a more professional feeling than many English teams, which makes a deep impression on them.

"I've heard that Southampton and Plymouth don't have a good relationship either."

Jonathan? Moss smiled a little wryly, several cities on the south coast of England have a bad relationship with each other, especially Southampton, which can be described as the target of public criticism, who has always made them the flag of the south coast?

Portsmouth, Plymouth, Brighton...... Who wouldn't want to take the flag instead?

"All in all, let's enforce the law fairly!"
