Yang Huan has a bit of a headache now, because the group of Qataris in front of him, looking at them one by two, they all look the same, and they are very clear who is who, okay?

Fortunately, Hamad was by his side, introducing him to the past one by one.

It turns out that the middle-aged man who looks very similar to Hamad, but is a little fatter and has a belly, is the current prime minister of Qatar, and it is said that in this country, he belongs to the second real power figure.

Prime Minister Hamad was accompanied by several dignitaries from the Qatari government and royal family, but they were more of a symbolic accompaniment, and the one who really played a role was a mustachioed sports minister, Ben Nasser Al Ali.

Because Yang Huan is not visiting Qatar officially this time, but just on vacation, this meeting is completely private in nature, and there are not so many annoying processes such as official diplomatic etiquette.

As soon as the big guys met in the living room of the Prime Minister's official residence, they sat down after a few pleasantries.

Prime Minister Hamad thanked Yang Huan straight to the point and thanked Yang Huan for taking care of his son during his time in the UK.

Yang Huan could feel that his gratitude was from the heart.

Don't look at Hamad's father as a powerful prime minister and a member of the royal family, but in fact, as long as there are people, there must be competition, especially in a country like Qatar, the competition is even more fierce.

It's just that these are known only to people within their royal family.

In the past, Hamad was more careless, and he did things in a mess, although he was very obedient, but it was useless.

But now it's different, there are a lot of stinky problems, I heard that when I was in the UK, I messed with the relationship between men and women, but so what?

At least in the eyes of Prime Minister Hamad, the current Hamad is at least more suitable to survive in this fierce competition for the royal family!

More importantly, through Yang Huan's relationship, Hamad has established quite good connections in the United Kingdom and even around the world, and most of them are either rich or expensive, which will be of great help to his future.

And all the changes in the baby son come from Yang Huan.

That's why he thanked him at the beginning.

After thanking each other, the two sides talked about a lot of side matters, such as Qatar very much welcome Yang Huan to invest, and Prime Minister Hamad also promised to do his best to help.

In addition, Yang Huan also said that Qatar is welcome to invest in China, and the Yang Group is also willing to support and even cooperate in all aspects, which is also the decision to leave Longhai City and his father Yang Wenfeng agreed.

The talks took place in a very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, and it was only at the end that the two sides talked about football.

"Mr. Yang Huan, may I ask, what do you think of Manchester City after the Abu Dhabi consortium became the owner?"

Yang Huan followed the prestige and found that it was Qatar's sports minister who asked the question, and nodded and smiled politely at the other party.

"There are a lot of people who are skeptical of Manchester City's investment over the years, but I personally feel that at the very least, Manchester City's investment has been successful."

If you look at it purely from the investment and the results achieved by the team, perhaps the success or failure is very controversial.

But if you look at the advertising effect on the Abu Dhabi consortium, Manchester City is definitely a success!

Everyone present, including Yang Huan, knew very well that the Qataris were more concerned about the advertising effect, followed by the team's results, and whether they lost money or not.

To put it mildly, they're not bad for money at all!

"In the past decade, the influence of the Premier League has been spreading at a geometric rate, and now, the world has entered the Internet age, and the Premier League is the first league of all leagues to realize Internet live broadcast and launch Internet copyright."

Everyone present listened and nodded incessantly.

In recent years, the Internet has become synonymous with loftiness.

But don't think that this is some kind of unattainable high-tech, on the contrary, the Internet is gradually becoming a universal product similar to television, which is a must-have for every household.

"I've had very in-depth discussions with our club's CEO, Peter Kenyon, and the Premier League's CEO, Richard Scudmoore, and we agreed that the Premier League's high growth in pay TV rights will gradually level off in a few years."

As things stand, Asia, Africa and South America have a lot of potential, but the pace of development is slow, so this will be a long-term task.

"In the future, the copyright of the Premier League will gradually become a three-legged model, that is, the local market, the overseas market and the Internet market!"

Speaking of this, Yang Huan smiled slightly, "Everyone has seen how big the local market is, the overseas market has developed quite rapidly in the past few years, and it has not lost to the local market at all, and relying on the advantage of English, it will continue to maintain the momentum of development in the future." ”

"Only the Internet market, the current revenue in this area is quite small, but in the next few years, I can guarantee that it will develop into a potential market that is not lost to the local market and overseas markets, and even larger than these two markets!"

Speaking of this, Yang Huan smiled again.

"In other words, for many years to come, the broadcast rights of the Premier League will continue to rise like a rocket, and its influence will continue to spread, and finally spread all over the world!"

Listening to Yang Huan's words, Prime Minister Hamad and the Minister of Sports glanced at each other, and they both felt the surprise in each other's eyes.

There was a very detailed assessment and budget for the Premier League long before they decided to buy Paris Saint-Germain, when they gave up the opportunity to buy Manchester United in favor of Paris Saint-Germain.

But a few years later, Ligue 1 is still the fifth largest league in Europe, and although Paris Saint-Germain is already the champion of Ligue 1, its prestige in Europe and its influence in the world have developed slowly.

At the end of the day, it's still not Ligue 1!

In this case, they have already regretted the decision not to choose the Premier League in the first place.

Now, after listening to Yang Huan's words, they suddenly realized that there is still a lot to be done in the Premier League now.

"Mr. Yang Huan, thank you very much for your frank statement!"

Prime Minister Hamad nodded his head very sincerely.

"But I still wonder why there are so many teams for sale in the reports we have gathered, given that the Premier League is in such good shape. And I've heard that the Premier League teams are very indebted, why is that? ”

When the Minister of Sports heard this, he also nodded and secretly praised that the Prime Minister's question was really to the point.

In fact, what they want to figure out most is how European professional football should be played!

It's best to let Young Master Huan teach it!

After hearing this, Yang Huan smiled again and nodded: "It's true, there are many teams that want to sell, and there are many teams that are seriously in debt, but I personally think that this is caused by problems with the team's own positioning, and it does not conflict with the overall development of the Premier League." ”

"How?" Prime Minister Hamad immediately came interested.

"Whether it is the Premier League or Europe, there are many ways to play professional football, such as Barcelona and Real Madrid, for them, youth training is just a slogan, pay attention to youth training, but only occasionally, don't look at Barcelona's current youth training slogan is loud, but look at the history of this team, it is not difficult to find that Barcelona at this stage is a special case!"

"These teams are not bad for money, they are pursuing results, championships, and honors, so they have to invest a lot of money in the team every year to operate and transfer, so it is basically impossible for these teams to be profitable, on the contrary, it is easy to get in debt, but they are the most influential team on the planet."

Before Florentino and Laporta came to power, Barcelona and Real Madrid were heavily indebted and on the verge of bankruptcy.

"There is another kind of team that is, I don't aim for the championship, I want stability, for example, Arsenal, this team has completely given up the pursuit of the championship in recent years, they have only one purpose, to maintain the top four in the league steadily, and accumulate steadily."

"When they accumulate to a certain extent, that's when they start to play to their strengths, because their finances are very healthy, and once the accumulation is complete, the potential to explode is quite large, but in any case, in terms of competitiveness, it is definitely not as good as Barcelona and Real Madrid."

Bayern Munich also belongs to this type, but on the one hand, the competition in the Bundesliga is not as good as that of the Premier League and La Liga, which makes Bayern Munich stand out and have no pressure.

"There is also the most typical kind of Porto, they do not pursue results, as long as they can guarantee to represent the Portuguese Super League in the Champions League, they are satisfied, they want a long-term business model, no investment, completely dependent on the club self-sufficiency, so they have to go to the route of human traffickers and cultivate semi-finished products."

Speaking of this, Yang Huan shook his head again, "This kind of team is not without in the four major leagues, such as Sevilla in La Liga, Valencia, Udinese and Atalanta in Serie A, etc., are all this way, but gradually, these teams in the four major leagues are less and less comfortable as teams such as Porto." ”

Prime Minister Hamad and others suddenly wondered, "Why?" ”

Since they are all taking the route of human traffickers, why are the teams in the four major leagues inferior to the teams in the Portuguese Super League?

"Champions League!" Yang Huan replied very concisely.

"Champions League?"

"Yes!" Yang Huan nodded, "In addition to the Premier League, the middle and lower reaches of Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga are generally not ideal in terms of income, and the gap with Portuguese Super League teams such as Porto is not big, and it may even be inferior to Porto." ”

"But more importantly, Porto can play in the Champions League, not much else, as long as they can participate in the group stage, it represents tens of millions of income, and the group stage can break through and earn more, which suddenly opens up the gap."

"Moreover, the gold content of the Champions League is getting higher and higher, Porto can participate in the Champions League, the players have increased the opportunity to show themselves on the high-level stage, increase their exposure, and the value is definitely higher than those players who have not participated in the Champions League, and it can also attract more potential stars who are eager to participate in the Champions League, and then improve the success rate!"

Yang Huan saw Prime Minister Hamad and others nodding vigorously, and felt that it was time to start summing up.

"In fact, in the European professional football system, the self-positioning of a team is quite important, once you misposition, it is likely to lead to the collapse of the entire team for many years, or even bankruptcy."

"And there is no doubt that Manchester City is taking the route of Barcelona and Real Madrid, they have only one goal, that is, to maximize the advertising effect, so they have to burn money, smash superstars, regardless of the cost of investment, it doesn't matter how much you lose."

"But there are counter-examples, such as Aston Villa in the Premier League a few years ago, this team once occupied the upper middle of the league for a long time and was very competitive, but then there was a problem with the direction of the team's business, and the results plummeted, and now it is in the bottom row."

Aston Villa did not lose to Tottenham Hotspur in those years, but in terms of the goal of hitting the top four in the league, Tottenham Hotspur handled quite brilliantly under the operation of Daniel Levy, although it was not successful, but at least Tottenham Hotspur also guaranteed the fifth and sixth positions in the league.

What's more, Tottenham Hotspur wouldn't have had to go into debt at all if they hadn't had the Northumberland plan!

But what about Aston Villa?

After a round of chicken blood, the ranking plummeted sharply, ranking downstream, and began to worry about relegation.

Want to rejuvenate?

With Aston Villa's current debt of nearly 200 million euros, I don't know how many years it will take!

Unless, their American boss is willing to burn money and stimulate it.

That's why the whole of European professional football believes that Daniel Levy is the smartest and best professional manager in the Premier League other than Peter Kenyon.

Without him, Tottenham Hotspur would not be where they are today! r1148
