Chapter 712 Chairman Johnsson
Hearing that Jing Jian was from China, the curly-haired man smiled politely: "It turned out to be from the beautiful country of silk." Sorry, I forgot to introduce, Cakinia, Milan Sport. ”
Jing Jianjian engraved the identity of this Caquinia, and he is the official reporter of the Italian World Cup, otherwise he would not be qualified to participate in this dinner at all. Jing Jian smiled back: "It's an honor to meet you." Call me Bramble!"
"Bramble?" Khachinia felt as if he had heard the name somewhere, and suddenly realized, "It turned out to be you, the one who wanted to buy the England team?"
"Huh. It's not that exaggerated, even if I wanted to buy it, it wouldn't be able to succeed in all of them. It's nothing more than casting a wide net. Jing Jian explained with a smile.
In fact, under normal circumstances, Jing Jian is not very willing to deal with reporters. Unless it's in the time of hype, it's just some kind of exploitation. Therefore, knowing the identity of Kakinia, Jing Jian was ready to stay away.
Sure enough, Kachina seemed interested: "Sorry, are you really Chinese? Red China? or Hong Kong and Taiwan?"
"We generally say Chinese mainland or Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan are all part of China. Jing Jian slightly corrected Kachina's statement, although he understood that he was unintentional, but on such an important occasion it is still necessary to pay attention to principles, "I am indeed from Chinese mainland." ”
"Wow, aren't you against exploitation, aren't you the working people in charge, how can you have so much money? Is it really yours?" said Kachinia.
Jing Jian was also stunned by Cachina's question, how did it become a term for domestic politics classes? In fact, in Western countries, the influence of the Communist Party in France and Italy is very great, especially the ideas of Taizu have influenced almost an entire generation of them, so the Cachina is no stranger to communist theory.
However, this question cannot be explained clearly in one sentence or two, and Jing Jian can only answer vaguely: "China has reformed and opened up, encouraging individuals to work to get rich. Now China is full of vitality, if you have the opportunity to visit our China. ”
"Of course, hopefully there will be a chance. In fact, for Katinia, he doesn't care much about China, he is interested in the amazing Chinese boy in front of him. And he is a sports reporter, not a political and economic reporter, so he quickly got to the point, "Mr. Bramble, after reading the report a few days ago, many of us Italian fans knew that there was actually a Chinese who is the president of a top club in England. This makes many people wonder, why did you buy that club, and what are your goals for the future of the club?"
I have to say that compared with the Internet age, the current media is quite primitive. The vast majority of people get their news through newspapers and television, and if there is no coverage, people become ignorant. Jing Jian is already a household name in the UK, but few people in continental Europe know about it. Of course, there is an important reason for this, as English clubs have been excluded from European football for five years.
Jing Jian's answer was simple, he smiled: "The goal of the club is, of course, to win the championship. Not only the English champions, but also the European champions. I understand that building a club is a long-term process that takes one step at a time, but in the future I want Portsmouth to become one of the biggest clubs in Europe. ”
"Is that why you bought the whole England team?"
"Of course, Portsmouth still doesn't have enough foundation and can only spend money on good players. It's not like you Milan or Juventus, who have been building academies for many years, and there are many stars who come here. ”
"But I've read the report, and the total amount you want to buy this time is already more than $100 million. Forgive me for being blunt, have you really prepared this budget?"
"Our club spent around £12 million last year and earned close to £10 million, but I only really invest a few million pounds a year. As for the hundreds of millions of pounds in the new stadium and the tens of millions of pounds in transfer fees, aren't those players still there?
In fact, the intangible value of the club is not only this. Starting next season, there will be four advertisements on Portsmouth's jerseys, and that's not even counting the sponsorship of sports brands. Although the current advertising price is quite cheap, and the club's income is relatively small, these advertisements are basically Jingjian industry, not to mention others, at least the whole of England knows about standard e-commerce and Blue Star. If you use other forms of advertising, how much do you have to spend on these ads?
However, Khacinia seems to have some doubts about Jing Jian's thinking, compared to the current operation of the club, it has not yet been fully commercialized as in the future.
After thinking about it, I felt that there seemed to be a lot of questions for this Chinese, so Kachina warmly invited: "Mr. Bramble, can you make another appointment, I want to have an exclusive interview with you?"
Without thinking about it at all, Jing Jian shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't arrange time for the time being." ”
"Hehe, young man, then you should have time to talk to me, right?" Jing Jian turned his head and saw a tall old man, burly like a bear.
Of course, Kachina knew the famous old man in European football, and Jing Jian had also read the information of this old man in advance, and the two saluted in unison: "Hello, Your Excellency the President!"
This old man is the current president of UEFA, Johansson, who has been the president of UEFA for a long time. We may be familiar with his successor, Platini, but at the time, Johansson's prestige and influence in UEFA, and even within the World Football Federation, were quite high.
In any case, this time it was Johansson who invited Jing Jian, so when the two of them came to an unmanned balcony, Jing Jian immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Your Excellency! Thank you for inviting me to this grand event." ”
"Huh. Johansson waved his hand disapprovingly, "Bramble, don't care about such trivial matters. I've wanted to meet you for a long time because I wanted to ask you a few questions. ”
During the World Cup, of course, Chairman Johansson was very busy, so he didn't drag his feet at all, and he got straight to the point.
Interestingly, he said almost exactly the same thing as Lord Lake. Perhaps there are indeed many people who are quite curious about Jing Jian.
"Of course, Your Excellency. Jing Jian nodded with a smile.
Unbeknownst to both of them, however, behind the curtains outside the balcony, Cachina was eavesdropping quietly......
