Chapter 658 You Can Make Money With Your Eyes Closed!
"Young Master Huan, wouldn't it be too extravagant to bring in a midfielder substitute for 20 million euros?"
After seeing off Horabchin and Giuliano Bertolucci, Ron Gurley reminded him with a wry smile.
According to the demands of the two agents, Oscar's salary is not high, at £30,000 a week, which is only in the middle of the pack at Southampton, and not high for a player who has performed in the Premier League and Europe.
But the problem is that Southampton now wants a midfield substitute, and the price of 20 million euros is a bit high!
Pini Zahavi remained silent, after all, he had introduced the person, so it was hard to say more.
But after listening to Ron Gurley's words, it was obvious that it was a bit too high.
Of course, if it is according to Young Master Huan's consistent high requirements, let alone 20 million, even if it is doubled again, he feels that it is acceptable, who let him take a fancy to it?
As the saying goes, it's hard to buy a favorite, that's the truth!
After listening to Ron Gurley's words, Yang Huan smiled faintly, shook his head, and did not speak or explain.
Peter Kenyon laughed, "Ron, you, didn't see what Young Master Huan saw!" ”
"What's that?" Ron Gulley asked.
Peter Kenyon glanced at Yang Huan and saw that he was always smiling, so he laughed himself.
"If I'm not mistaken, Young Master Huan attaches more importance to the cooperation with Bertolucci, and plans to implement our data training system, and then promote our scouting network!"
Ron Gurley and Pini Zahavi really figured it out when they said that.
Yang Huan laughed directly, "Sure enough, it's still you, the bald head, who understands me!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all laughed in unison.
Peter Kenyon smiled wryly and was depressed, I'm bald, but when did I become bald?
Also, What is a bald head? Can you eat it?
"South American football is a treasure land, in recent years, with the development of Internet technology, the progress of science and technology, advanced technology into the football circle, this has become an unstoppable trend, data training is only part of it!"
"For a long time in the past, Brazil gave people the feeling of poverty, backwardness, chaos and disorder, so the stars cultivated were all from poor backgrounds, and all football clubs were so poor that they could just throw hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars in the past, and they could directly make people kneel and lick!"
Peter Kenyon and Pini Zahavi both looked at each other, both secretly amused.
This Young Master Huan is also exaggerating, right?
But I have to admit that if you go back five years or ten years, Brazilian football is indeed such an image.
"But you must know that in the past few years, Brazil's domestic economic development has been rapid, known as the BRICS, which is not a false name, economic development, has driven the development of the domestic pillar football industry, and the development momentum of Brazilian football clubs is also quite rapid, and the value of players has also risen."
Indeed, on average, the value of Brazilian players at the time of export is indeed increasing year by year.
Another point is that the business situation of domestic clubs in Brazil has improved considerably compared with before, especially the domestic giants such as São Paulo, Santos, Cruzeiro, Corinthians, etc., and the living environment has been greatly improved compared with before, and some have even begun to be not bad for money.
In this case, the further upgrading of the Brazilian football industry is undoubtedly very strong, especially in scouting, youth training and player training, because the Brazilian football industry is mainly concentrated in this area.
According to the industry chain, Brazilian football should be at the bottom end, and Europe is at the top.
Southampton's current technology and equipment in these areas are undoubtedly quite advantageous.
In other words, it is entirely possible to follow a model such as that with Cesarini, with Southampton providing the technology and equipment to work with clubs and football schools in Brazil.
As the so-called third-rate enterprises sell products, second-rate enterprises sell brands, and first-class enterprises sell standards.
If Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Africa, and even many middle and lower leagues and teams in Europe are still in the stage of selling products, then teams including Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, and even Real Madrid and Barcelona are all selling brands, because they are giants!
Southampton is undoubtedly in the stage of selling brands!
But if Yang Huan is really allowed to promote the data training system on a large scale through this cooperation model, then Southampton will have the most complete player database in the world.
At that time, let alone selecting players for your own teams such as Southampton and Atletico Madrid, you can even make money by selling data to other teams!
That Yang Huan and his football empire will also stand out from the ranks of second-rate brands and enter the ranks of selling standards!
At that point, there are the two major competitions of the International Champions Cup and the UEFA Youth Champions League, and further down, there is the largest player database in the world, and further down, there are teams such as Southampton, Atletico Madrid, Monaco and Tottenham Hotspur.
Just imagine, if it really develops into that kind of situation, in the world football, who else can stop him Yang Huan?
Peter Kenyon, Pini Zahavi, and Ron Gullik were all smart people, and it was easy to guess what Young Master Huan was thinking, and they could vaguely see the future development prospects, and they all became excited.
If you really want to do this, then whether it is a football club, a player, or even an agent, you have to rely on this huge player database in the hands of Young Master Huan to live!
Think about it again, before Young Master Huan vigorously supported England's Glorious Revolution youth training reform plan, asking for money for money, equipment for equipment, and free training for them if they wanted training, it seems that it is a big loss, but in fact?
At a time when the hukou is so valuable, what an astonishing treasure trove it would be to be able to grasp all the statistics and players of England from the Glorious Revolution to the national team and the youth team in the lowest age group.
"We've had a pretty good income this year, especially in the Champions League, and the bonuses we receive from UEFA alone are already quite generous, so I'm going to improve the treatment and salaries of the players and employees in the team!"
Yang Huan feels that as a football club, the most valuable thing is talent.
Therefore, how to retain the players and employees in the team as much as possible will be one of Southampton's most important strategies in the future.
What he wants to do now is to do everything he can to create a sense of belonging to the players, to build them and the club into a community of destiny, and then to stimulate them to perform and play better on the pitch and on the training ground.
There is no doubt that salary is quite important!
Peter Kenyon agrees, "I have checked, the total amount in the prize pool of the Premier League and Champions League this season is as high as 71.7 million euros, according to the distribution method, half of it is taken out, according to the league ranking last season, the league championship can be divided into 40%. ”
Speaking of this, Peter Kenyon smiled, "In other words, we can get more than 14 million euros from it, and the remaining half, according to the Champions League results, even if we lose all six games in the group stage, we can get more than 6 million." ”
"Also, the appearance fee for the Champions League group stage is almost 9 million euros, the prize money for winning is 1 million euros, and the draw is 500,000 euros, so we can at least make more than 30 million euros from the Champions League!"
"So much?" Pini Zahawi was a little surprised.
More than 30 million, this is still Southampton's total negative income in the group stage, and if you win a few games, or come out of the group stage, the income will be even higher.
Peter Kenyon nodded and smiled, "Yes, because we're league champions!" ”
According to UEFA rules, half of the prize money in the prize pool is given to the participating teams according to the league standings, and there are four teams in the Premier League, with the proportions of 40%, 30, 20 and 10 respectively.
In other words, Arsenal, who finished fourth in the league last season, can only get more than three million euros from it.
In the case of three teams, the ratios are forty, thirty-five and twenty-five.
In addition, England's prize pool is also quite high, reaching 71.7 million euros, second only to Italy's 80 million euros, which have just signed a new contract, Spain's 67.3 million euros, and France's 57.73 million euros.
As Europe's largest economy, Germany has a prize pool of only 52.29 million euros.
In view of this, Yang Huan's future football map is already very clear.
If you look at the prize pool and the allocation of places, the teams in Serie A are the most popular, because the three teams share the 80 million euros, and each team can make a lot of money as long as they reach the Champions League, even if the results are worse.
Juventus and Napoli, for example, will be able to share more than 30 million and 25 million prize pools even if they don't qualify from the group, and more than 40 million and 30 million euros per minute if you count UEFA's prize money.
With the current embarrassing situation of the Serie A league, this amount of money is simply a huge amount of money!
So, in a way, the worse the teams in France, Italy, Spain, Germany and England in the Champions League, the better it will be for the teams participating in the Champions League, preferably with three teams.
In the Champions League prize pool, except for Italy, England, Spain, France and Germany, the prize pools of other European countries are pitiful, such as Portugal, less than seven million euros, the fixed income is too poor, and there are many participating teams, so they can only make money by results, unlike the previous five countries, as long as they mix in the Champions League, they can make money with their eyes closed!
The only countries with more than 10 million are Russia, Greece and Denmark, and the Netherlands is almost 9.6 million euros, but the Netherlands has fewer participating teams, so the benefits shared by the team are also considerable.
Pini Zahavi didn't know much about the running of Champions League clubs, and he was stunned to hear Peter Kenyon say that hastily.
It turns out that whether to participate in the Champions League or not has such a big stake!
Moreover, he didn't expect that the teams in the five major leagues would be so much worse than other leagues in terms of Champions League income.
The gap is so big that it's desperate!
In order to surpass these five countries in the prize pool, in addition to the domestic economy to surpass them, someone must be willing to spend on football, prompting TV broadcasters to be willing to pay high broadcast fees for it.
P> but the gap is so big, I'm afraid that if you want to catch up, there is almost no possibility.
In this case, the teams of the big five leagues will be worth more and more money.
Because of this, Yang Huan is also very interested in the Serie A team, and has asked Kesh Harris to help find and contact before, as long as the timing is right, the price is right, and the team meets his requirements in all aspects, then he doesn't mind having one more team.
Anyway, as long as he can get into the Champions League steadily, he will be satisfied!
