Chapter 839: Pearl Secret Investment
In the evening, the lights were on, and the Glory Square in Southampton was full of people, and everyone was still immersed in the joy of the team's 4-0 win over Arsenal and the Community Shield in the afternoon.
In the Wangjiang Pavilion Linhai box in the square, Yang Huan was warmly entertaining Klaus Michael Kuhn and others.
The afternoon trip to Stauptwood left nothing but shock and wonder for the Hamburg fan representatives.
Even Klaus Michael Kuhn has a very high opinion of the saints.
If Pep Guardiola's Barcelona is a phenomenal team, then the current Southampton is a phenomenal club!
Teams rely on players and tactics, but clubs are not just players and tactics, but also management and management.
And everyone knows that even at the moment when Barcelona is at its peak, the operation and management of the Western Super League giants is still a mess.
If, before this, there would have been many people in the delegation who objected to such a statement, thinking that it was too high for the saints, but after Stepwood's inspection, they could not refute it.
Therefore, when I saw Yang Huan again and looked at the young Chinese man in his early twenties in front of him, their feelings were obviously completely different from when they met at Wembley Stadium at noon.
At the very least, there was less contempt and more admiration in everyone's eyes.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the polite words of small talk were finished, and the conversation began to get to the point.
"Young Master Huan, I'm very interested to know, how did you position the burger?"
Klaus Michael Kuhn is clearly a very straightforward person, crisp and neat, and not dragging his feet.
Yang Huan sat beside him, and after listening, he glanced around the people at the round table, and found that everyone stopped eating and chatting, and looked at themselves, obviously waiting for their answer, and immediately smiled.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to say this, and it's not my turn to say it, right?"
The subtext of Young Master Huan's words is that I am a minority shareholder, and there are only two people on the board of directors, so I have no right to speak.
If one day, you fan representatives are upset and join up with the board of directors, then I'm not doomed?
Kuhn knew in his heart that Young Master Huan's words were somewhat suspicious, but he didn't take it to heart.
"Young Master Huan, let's put it this way, if you were in charge of the hamburger, how would you run it?"
The corners of Yang Huan's mouth raised, and he thought to himself, it's finally a little interesting!
"Then it depends on how far I, the Lord, can go." Young Master Huan replied in a hurry.
Kuhn and Otto glanced at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
This Young Master Huan is really aggressive!
However, if you think about it, it's no wonder, who let Kerkhoff and others cheat like this?
"Then please ask Young Master Huan to talk about it specifically!" Alexander Otto said with a smile.
Yang Huan also smiled and nodded: "In my opinion, the reason why the Bundesliga is now dominated by Bayern Munich is mainly due to two aspects, that is, the so-called fiscal policy and management system of balance between revenue and expenditure. ”
The fiscal policy and management system of the balance of payments, this does not need to be said, it is literal, it is easy to understand.
As for the so-called fifty plus one system, it is not as understood by fans, and private individuals cannot hold more than 49% of the shares.
This is wrong!
In the rules of the German Football Association, what they mean is that clubs must maintain more than 50% of the voting rights.
It's voting, not control!
In other words, you can sell all the shares of the club, as long as you have the right to vote.
This season, Yang Huan bought Hamburg and installed Thomas Lake and Beiersdorf on the board of directors, both of whom have a lot of actual power, but if you want to talk about voting rights, it is very low.
There is also a situation like RB Leipzig, after they bought Leipzig, they simply hired a few local German employees to form a puppet board of directors and hold the voting rights of the club.
But everyone knows that this is a loophole, because what can these German employees vote on?
Isn't everything behind the capital side having the final say?
The same case also appeared in the deal for Belgian billionaire Roland Duchatlett to buy Carl Zeiss Jena.
This is the way this is the world, but where there are rules, there will be loopholes.
Here, it is necessary to mention again the attitude of the German Football Association and the origin of the so-called 50 plus 1 policy.
Football clubs in the Bundesliga have a lot in common with La Liga, and they were all about membership in the beginning.
However, after entering the 90s, with the prevalence of television broadcasting, the football economy developed rapidly, and the emergence of the Boseman Act led to increased player mobility and frequent transfers.
In this case, the membership system and the inefficiency that come with it limit the development of the Bundesliga team.
It can be said that the current Hamburg is almost a model for the Bundesliga team in the nineties.
The financial revenue is good, but the team is not competitive, it is still in a deep debt crisis, and even the most important foundation of football, which is the youth training, is doing quite badly.
It can almost be said that the entire German professional football league at that time was like this.
So in those years, there were almost no good youth seedlings in German football, which directly led to the German talent fault.
In the '94 World Cup, Germany stopped in the quarterfinals and lost to Bulgaria.
Although Germany won the European Cup in 96 with Klinsmann, Bierhoff and others, it soon lost to Croatia 0-3 in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in 98.
In the Euro Cup 20000 years, the German team was at the bottom of the group stage, with one draw and two losses, especially the loss to England and the 0-3 loss to Portugal, which was regarded as a shame by German football.
Therefore, this made Germany up and down to make up its mind and started a mighty football youth training reform.
But what matches the reform of youth training is the restructuring of the club.
Everyone realizes that membership is no longer suitable for today's professional football.
In La Liga, except for Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao, all other teams have completed the restructuring.
The German Football Association, on the other hand, is relatively stable, adopting a 50 plus 1 policy, allowing clubs to sell their shares and retain more than 50% of the voting rights, which is a relatively compromise method.
As a result, Dortmund went public in 2000, and Bayern Munich sold shares to Audi and Adidas one after another.
On the contrary, it is like Hamburg, because of its abundant financial income, but it still retains a set of management models similar to the membership system, which has caused the root cause of Hamburg's deterioration in the past ten years.
"The break-even fiscal policy, which leads to all teams having to lock in money, how much money to make and how much to spend, although this ensures the financial health of the league, but at the same time it also creates another problem."
Speaking of this, Yang Huan took the initiative to uncover the puzzle, "That is, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, and even over time, the middle and lower reaches of the team will lose their enterprising spirit because of this." ”
It's not hard to understand.
It's like Bayern Munich and Hamburg.
Bayern Munich's annual financial income is as high as more than 400 million, which can ensure that they can open high salaries that no team in the whole Bundesliga can offer, introduce the best players in the Bundesliga, and even introduce the best superstars in Europe to ensure their dominance in the Bundesliga and competitiveness in European football.
But is it okay to burgers?
How much is a Harvey Martinez?
Can you buy a burger? Can you buy it again?
Think about it again, when Bayern Munich regards the entire Bundesliga as its own player processing factory, and shows its strength in European football, through excellent management, and constantly improves its financial income, it is difficult for other Bundesliga teams to match, and over time, who has the ambition to compete with them?
"Looking at the current Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund are one of the few teams with ambitions, but so what?"
Yang Huan shook his head and sneered, "Dortmund's financial income is not too bad in the Bundesliga, but compared with Bayern Munich, it is far worse, so if you want to dig Gotze, if you want Lewandowski, you can dig Lewandowski, can Dortmund resist?" ”
When Yang Huan said this, he did not mean to criticize Bayern Munich.
In fact, it's very commercial.
Isn't there a saying?
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, it is all about life and death, strengthening yourself and weakening your opponents.
Kuhn and the others listened and agreed.
This is indeed the case in the Bundesliga, where no team has the ambition or the strength to challenge Bayern Munich's supremacy.
"Young Master Huan, what you said is not wrong at all, but have you thought about it, the other teams in the Bundesliga today are in a stage of accumulating capital, once they have completed capital accumulation, who dares to say that they will not have the strength and ambition to challenge Bayern Munich in the future?"
Kuhn's words were also very unique, and even Yang Huan kept nodding when he heard it.
"Yes, Mr. Kuhn, you are right, but capital accumulation always takes time, it takes a long process, I don't believe that with the current management level and business model of the Bundesliga team, their management can have such a long-term plan, what I see is more to get by."
Although Kuhn was not very willing to admit it, he also knew that what Yang Huan said was indeed the truth.
For the current Bundesliga teams, except for Bayern Munich and Dortmund, none of the other teams can see any further hope, and who will be willing to work hard and struggle for an invisible hope?
From this point, it is not difficult to see that although Yang Huan is not interested in the management level of the Bundesliga team, it also reflects his confidence in himself and his team.
"I'm in an awkward position in Hamburg right now!"
Yang Huan waited until Kuhn and the others had digested his words before continuing.
'I really want to make a difference at the club, but I'm being hampered by people everywhere.
After a pause, Young Master Huan let out another long sigh.
"You should know Dr. Howard Hamilton, right?"
"Hmm!" Everyone nodded.
The big guy at the Southampton Data Analytics Research Centre.
'Tuchel told me that Hamburg had problems with their fitness and conditioning and that they were looking for an expert in the field, so Dr Howard Hamilton introduced the current American strength and conditioning coach of the German national team, Shad Fawcett.
Shad Fawcett?
Kuhn and the others obviously don't know anything about this, this person is not famous.
"This man was brought in by Klinsmann from the United States, who played for American Football Club and was very good at physical training, and he was very good in terms of physical training, and he was very responsible for the German national team to win the World Cup this year."
"Really?" Kuhn was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that there was such a great power in the Hamburg team, and he didn't know it.
Looking at Alexander Otto and the others, they were all at a loss.
Yang Huan is not surprised by this, because if this is not an insider, who knows?
"But did you know that as soon as Shad Fawcett came to Hamburg and wanted to make some adjustments to the club's training facilities and plans, as a result, as soon as the board heard that it was going to cost money, it immediately shook its head like a windmill and just called it a halt, you say, how can the family continue to work?"
Saying that, Young Master Huan felt very embarrassed for the secret investment of Shad Fawcett's pearl.
Kuhn's brow furrowed at the hearing, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
Obviously, I think that the management is too bastard!
