Bellet Hoyet paid attention to Mark Parker's god and read the contradictions in his boss's mind.

On the one hand, it is obvious that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if it is seized, it is likely that it will quickly consolidate and strengthen Nike's momentum just as Adidas seized FIFA back then.

But on the other hand, I am very worried, after all, the risk of doing so is too great.

But isn't that what this world is?

Crisis, crisis, there is danger, and blessing and misfortune are not always interdependent?

"Mark, you just said that Yang Huan has controlled the teams in the four major leagues in the five major leagues, and I must remind you that he is actively preparing to enter the fifth major league!"

"What?" Mark Parker was a little surprised, "Bundesliga? ”

"Yes, if the intelligence is correct, there should be progress!"

"How is this possible?" Mark Parker shook his head, "Isn't the Bundesliga team not allowed to be acquired by foreign capital?" ”

"Who said that? Media? Berth Hoyet burst out laughing, "What else will they do but interpret the rules according to the script?" ”

Mark Parker was silent because he knew that as long as there were rules, there would always be loopholes.

For large companies operating commercially, it is simply a good trick to make a fuss about vulnerabilities.

Needless to say, other companies, Nike alone, how many employees are in the legal department?

This group of people sit idle all day and have nothing to do, specializing in studying the laws of various countries to play, and throwing one out at random, can play with journalists all over the world.

"If the terms of the German Football Association were really useful, Hoffenheim would not have appeared back then, and there would have been no RB Leipzig in the past few years, RB Leipzig was promoted to the Bundesliga this season, it was already ironclad, who could take them?"

According to the rules of the German Football Association, Bundesliga clubs must remain financially healthy, but in reality?

The rise of Hoffenheim depends on the boss's burning money, if there is no big investment from Dietmar Hoppe, Hoffenheim can enter the Bundesliga? Can you get a foothold in the Bundesliga?

As for RB Leipzig, it's even more of a slap in the face.

You say that a club cannot be owned by a single company, that it cannot be completely controlled by any individual, right?

Okay, I've got you covered!

Since you want a membership system, then I will give you a membership system, and I will toss out eleven members, and I will toss out a membership system.

What the? Do members have to be nationals?

Okay, I'll satisfy you, I'll invite eleven Germans to be members, are you satisfied?

What the? You are accusing me of restricting membership access?

Please, we are a high-end and high-grade team, how can we casually, cats and dogs become members?

Look at Southampton, the annual membership fee is as high as 100,000 pounds, why do I only charge an annual fee of 1,000 euros, which is already quite cheap, right?

Besides, how much will I charge, what do you care?

I'll sue you if you're so foolish!

Anything else? And just hurry up and say, I'll satisfy you together!

What the? No, but I just won't be allowed to do that?

I'll sue you!

Damn, I don't believe it, which German law says I can't do that?

I'm completely following your rules, why don't you even allow me to run the team, what do you mean?

The end result is that Hoffenheim is passing the test and RB Leipzig is passing the test!

Mark Parker was dumbfounded, he would never have imagined that he could still play like this in professional football.

Bert Hoyet laughed, "Mark, you must believe that when it comes to playing tricks and tricks, those who engage in football are babies waiting to be fed in front of the experts of large companies, and they are not worth mentioning at all!" ”

Mark Parker agrees.

He's been in charge of football himself, so he can understand how clumsy and bad the professional teams, and even a lot of the big teams, are so inefficient that you can't imagine.

Even many so-called professionals, in the eyes of the layman, are pure jokes!

Of course, it must also be said that even if you invite the world's most powerful elite to run a football club, you are likely to be uncomfortable, because professional football is a very special existence, and people who are not familiar with it and don't understand it can't play it at all.

That's why it's rare and rare for professional managers like Peter Kenyon, Ron Gurley and Daniel Levy to be both knowledgeable and professional.

"Bert, you mean that Yang Huan is going to buy a Bundesliga team?" Mark Parker was suddenly interested.

The Bundesliga has always been the base camp of Adidas and Puma, although Nike can also squeeze in, but it can only support some marginal roles, as for Bayern Munich, the shares are sold to Adidas, completely insulated from Nike.

Dortmund is also said to be selling part of its stake to Puma to further cement the partnership.

If, at this time, there is a strong rise of the Bundesliga team, not to mention challenging Bayern Munich's king status, it only needs to reach the level of Dortmund, then it can help Nike further enter the German market.

Berthe Hoyet had the same idea, nodding and smiling: "Yes, and a team with a lot of potential. ”

"Who?" Mark Parker is interested.

"Burger!"

"Burgers?" Mark Parker suspected he had misheard.

But Bart Hoyet nodded in affirmation, "Yes, Hamburg!" ”

"How is this possible?" Mark Parker was completely stunned, "Hamburg is now in the relegation zone, and it is the favorite to relegate the Bundesliga this season, Yang Huan wants to buy Hamburg?" ”

Berthe Hoyet nodded heavily, "Although I don't know the specific acquisition plan, I have been informed that the two sides have reached a preliminary intention, but I don't know exactly how to distribute the equity and who will be in charge of the club's operation." ”

"Why hamburgers?" Mark Parker didn't understand it at all.

Yes, this team is indeed the most traditional powerhouse in the Bundesliga except for Bayern Munich, but in the past so many years, Hamburg has long since declined, no longer the courage of the past, and now it has been reduced to a relegation team.

The only thing worth being complacent about Hamburg, the glorious history of never being relegated from the Bundesliga, is likely to be wiped out this season, just ask, what is there to value about such a team?

Bellet Hoyet shook his head and smiled, "Yang Huan doesn't pay attention to results when he chooses a team. ”

"What's the point?"

"Business environment!"

"What do you mean?"

"Hamburg is the largest port in Germany, commercially developed, quite cosmopolitan and modern, unlike Munich, a typical German city, and Hamburg has the second largest population in Germany, but its per capita GDP is far ahead of Germany, even far exceeding Munich and Berlin."

"Not only that, there are more than 500 European branches of Chinese companies settled in Hamburg, which is the first in Germany, with the visit of the Chinese president to Germany this year, the economic and trade between the two sides will expand again, and Hamburg will attract more Chinese companies to land."

"And from the perspective of tourism resources, Hamburg is located close to Northern Europe, coupled with its own high-quality tourism resources and good public security situation, so it is very suitable for a foreign tourist, especially those interested in Northern Europe."

Mark Parker also has to admit that after such an analysis by Bert Hoyet, it seems to make some sense.

"What's more, I've checked Hamburg's financial income, a team that is deep in the Bundesliga relegation zone, but its income is the 19th highest in Europe, and this is in the absence of European event revenue, low ticket prices, and a pitiful amount of broadcast fee income, which shows how amazing Hamburg's commercial operation potential is!"

"Looking at Yang Huan's past acquisitions, he values not only football, but also the business environment, and based on the above factors, Hamburg has great potential, at least from the perspective of the business environment, it is not lost to Bayern Munich at all, in fact, Hamburg has also fought with Bayern Munich in the history of the north and south, but in the past two or three decades, the management of the club is too fucked!"

When Mark Parker heard this, he understood it completely.

He knew Hamburg and the potential of the city, but he didn't expect that Yang Huan's eyes would be so vicious.

In fact, Berthe Hoyet has not yet said the key point, that is, in Germany, Hamburg's status has faintly surpassed Berlin, Germany intends to host the Olympic Games in 2024, and before that, it will also bid for the European Championship and the Champions League.

In this case, Yang Huan's choice of hamburger is not surprising at all.

It's just that he has some doubts in his heart, what way will Yang Huan use to buy hamburger?

Also, after he buys Hamburg, can he bring the former Bundesliga giants back to the ranks of the Bundesliga powerhouses?

"To be honest, Mark, I have no doubt that Yang Huan's acquisition of Hamburg will be successful, and the German Football Association or even the German government will not refuse a takeover from him."

"Why?" Mark Parker was a little confused.

Bellet Hoyet smiled slightly, "Who else can resist investment from China now?" If there is a Chinese boss in the Bundesliga, do you know how much benefit it will bring to the entire Bundesliga behind this? ”

"Also, judging from the precedent of Yang Huan's investment in Southampton and Madrid, after he buys Hamburg, he will definitely invest heavily in the city, and the Hamburg city government has been eager to attract more Chinese tourists and investors over the years, and Yang Huan's arrival will help them achieve this goal."

Mark Parker was reluctant to accept it, but he had to admit that it was true.

Investment from Chinese companies has become the object of every effort sought by all governments around the world, and Chinese tourists are known for their spending.

After Frankfurt, Munich and other cities have tasted the sweetness of Chinese tourists, will Hamburg be willing to refuse the temptation of this piece of fat?

The German Football Association is independent of the government system, but in many cases, it has to bow to the government.

Why did Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig make it through?

In the final analysis, the German Football Association is also afraid of the big problem and even resorts to law.

If you really want to go to court, the German Football Association will definitely lose!

"Mark!" Bellet Hoyet said this, staring at Mark Parker in a serious manner.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I have a lot of confidence in Yang Huan, I think he will succeed, and in fact, he has always been successful, and this time is the same!"

These words of Bellet Hoyet caused Mark Parker to fall into deep thought again.

Almost in his head, he re-filtered Berth Hoyet's entire plan from start to finish.

Bellet Hoyet, on the other hand, sat across from him and looked at his boss with concern.

Every decision made by the other party at this time could change the direction of the company in the future.

So, we have to be cautious, and then cautious.

After a few minutes, Mark Parker raised his head again, looked at Bart Hoyet, smiled slightly, and nodded, "Okay, Belt, you can propose your plan to the board, and I will support you!" ”

Hearing this, Berthe Hoyet's old face suddenly burst into laughter!
