Chapter 666: Super Giant Pit
Interestingly, if you go back to the source, who is responsible for the current situation in Milan?
There is only one answer, and that is Daddy Mo!
Yang Huan carefully analyzed the financial report in his hand, and he found a rather interesting situation.
Inter Milan's total salary of €130 million is the third highest in Serie A, behind AC Milan's €184 million and Juventus' €163 million.
Is it worth rejoicing?
No, look further down!
In terms of club revenue, Inter Milan is still in third place, with only 176 million euros.
And what about the top two?
AC Milan is as high as 276 million euros, and Juventus is as high as 275 million euros, which is 100 million euros higher than Inter Milan!
Roma have the fourth-highest income in Serie A at 125 million euros, but their wage bill is only 94 million euros.
Napoli is even better, with an income of 120 million euros and a salary of only 67 million euros.
In addition, in terms of bank debt, Inter Milan is as high as 220 million, which is the second highest in Serie A, second only to AC Milan's 251 million euros, and Juventus even if they build a new stadium, which was once reduced to the second division, but their bank debt is only 166 million euros.
Rome had only 97 million euros, and Naples had only 4 million euros in bank debt.
The higher the debt, the higher the interest you will have to pay.
Judging from this report, the Milan duo are super giant pits!
Whoever steps into it knows what it tastes like!
Especially AC Milan, Berlusconi dared to shout an estimate of one billion euros, which is probably not only to sell the team, but also to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune!
Yang Huan hastily flipped through the documents in his hand and quickly closed them again.
"Mr. Fasoone, I will find someone to study this report carefully, but I found that something is missing."
A hint of panic flashed in Marco Fasoone's eyes, and he involuntarily glanced at Moratti.
This move couldn't be more obvious in Yang Huan's eyes.
I'm afraid this must have been Moratti's instructions!
I didn't expect that this Daddy Mo seemed to be an honest person, and he would secretly leave such a hand.
If those who don't know what's going on, I'm afraid they will really be miserable by him.
"What's missing?" Kesh Harris hurriedly took the report from Young Master Huan and asked.
He is Yang Huan's investment consultant, and he has been engaged in so many team buying and selling transactions, so he naturally knows better than anyone that there are many cats in it, and it is even more common for insiders to dig pits and bury laymen.
"For the time being, I only found two points, one is that it does not list the specific terms of Inter Milan players' loans, transfers, etc., and the other is the rental and maintenance costs of the Meazza Stadium!"
When Kesh Harris heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at Marco Fasoone, his eyes were not without reproach, as if to say, are you trying to trap me?
Fortunately, Young Master Huan pointed it out on the spot, otherwise, if he didn't find out until after the transaction, wouldn't Young Master Huan suspect that I would join you to pit him?
At that time, even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I wouldn't be able to wash it away!
Marco Fasone dared to look at Kesh Harris again, bowing his head and not daring to say anything.
This layman will only pay attention to income and expenses, as well as debts and other issues, but as everyone knows, this is only the surface, and for a football club, the transfer clause of a player is also quite a staggering dark pit.
As we all know, most of the transfers of players are paid in installments, commonly known as mortgages.
This ordinary player transfer, on a two-year or three-year basis, that is normal, if the amount is relatively high, on a five-year or six-year basis, it is also a fairly normal thing, for example, Chelsea introduced Torres, a full six years.
So the problem arises, assuming that a player's value is 60 million, according to six years, the team will change hands in the third year, but the old club has concealed the transfer terms, and the new owner will undercount the transfer debt of 30 million for the remaining three years.
For a big team like International Lan, this transfer clause is listed separately, maybe not much, but all of them add up, I'm afraid it's a big number, even if it doesn't break 100 million, tens of millions will definitely not be able to run away.
As for the Meazza Stadium, everyone knows that the Meazza Stadium is also known as the San Siro Stadium in the mouth of AC Milan fans, the two teams share the same stadium, but neither has the ownership of the stadium, and the ownership of the stadium belongs to the government.
As a result, both teams had to find the government to lease the stadium and bear the cost of maintaining the stadium.
But don't underestimate this expense, at least more than 10 million euros, this is another pit!
Moratti and the three obviously didn't expect it, Yang Huan just glanced at it hastily, and found out all the things they were hiding, and they were all embarrassed and a little panicked.
How can this negotiation continue?
"Mr. Yang Huan, I'm afraid that when the people in the finance department were in a hurry, they accidentally missed it!"
Blanca, who was sitting next to Moratti, didn't speak until this time, seeing that he was a little cold, he immediately came out to resolve the embarrassment, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang Huan, we will redraw a detailed financial report and send it to you when we go back!" ”
Yang Huan couldn't help but glance at Blanca, this guy is also a striking boy, and he knows how to be flexible!
"Okay, I'll send another copy back, don't miss it again this time!" Yang Huan didn't continue to entangle.
But in his mind, Inter Milan's ranking has fallen rapidly.
On the contrary, he is becoming more and more interested in Napoli and Fiorentina.
Originally, Yang Huan was most interested in Udinese, this team is not ranked well in Serie A, but the ability to cultivate young players is second to none in Serie A and even Europe, and their scouts can always help them collect a large number of outstanding star embryos around the world, bring them to the Serie A league, cultivate them, and then sell them at a high price.
However, this team belongs to the Italian Pozzo family, who started the football league business, but much earlier than Yang Huan.
The family owns the world's fourth-largest wood machine manufacturing company and controls knives.
But it is such a low-key family, as early as the eighties of the last century, the acquisition of Udinese, and then after the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, they have entered the field of professional football in a big way, successively buying Spain's Granada, Chilean league giants Odacs Italia, and England's Watford.
Not only that, but they also have a stake in Espanyol in La Liga and are on the board of directors.
Recently, I heard that CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria has been acquired, and this team is a regular in the Champions League.
It is also said that they are also in full swing to buy teams from the Austrian league.
In other words, so far, there are a total of five European professional teams in the hands of the Pozzo family, but because most of them are middle and lower teams, they are not very important.
But there is no doubt that what the Pozo family is doing now is exactly the same as Yang Huan.
They want to use this football league model to maximize the professional football resources in their hands.
For example, after acquiring Granada, they went to Spain on loan with 12 players in one go, with the simple purpose of training this group of players for Udinese through Granada, and accumulating professional league experience.
Watford currently have 42 first-team squads, 14 of whom are from Udinese and 10 of whom are on loan.
The reason for this is simple.
It is quite costly for a team to maintain a youth system on its own.
It can be said that no team can support it, except for those top giants.
But if there are two, three, or even many teams running the same youth training system together, theoretically, the cost of running this youth training system has not increased much, but there are very few that can be allocated to these teams.
This is the transformation of Udinese in recent years!
In addition to the Pozzo family, the Red Bull Group from Thailand has also taken a stake in a number of European professional teams, but this is more of a business practice, more of an advertising tactic, completely different from Udinese.
And Yang Huan sees farther and has greater ambitions, which is theoretically an upgraded version of the concept of Udinese!
If he could, he would be very interested in buying Udinese, but how could the Pozzo family work hard to build such an industrial chain, how could it be easily sold?
Just when Yang Huan was sighing in his heart, the three of Moratti had already completed eye contact.
Fasoone took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Yang Huan again.
"Mr. Yang Huan, please rest assured, our presence here is a testament to our sincerity."
Yang Huan was already a little interested in acquiring Inter Milan in his heart, so he also smiled noncommittally and nodded lightly.
"Mr. Moratti has full confidence in Mr. Yang Huan to run Inter Milan, and under similar conditions, he is more than happy to entrust Inter Milan to you and your team."
Moratti, who hadn't spoken much, also sighed deeply and spoke.
"Yes, Inter Milan is like my child in my eyes, my baby, in the past few years, whether it is right or wrong, it has passed, and now I really have no ability to deal with this situation of Inter Milan."
When he said this, the expression on Moratti's face was full of embarrassment and helplessness.
When Inter Milan was at its poorest, he appeared as a savior and saved Inter.
But now, he has to find a savior for Inter.
In his opinion, this is really an indescribable irony.
But what can be done?
Is it okay not to sell?
He and his family simply don't have the money, the ability or even the heart to rebuild Inter.
Therefore, the best and most reasonable way is to sell it to the right person!
In the past three years, Yang Huan has risen rapidly in European football, but insiders have a very high evaluation of him.
And Yang Huan's connections and relationships in European football are well known.
Not to mention club presidents like Florentino and Russell, even Platini calls him brothers, and even has to politely shout Master Huan many times.
It can be seen that handing over Inter Milan to Master Huan is the most ideal ending.
But Yang Huan is also quite strange, once he identifies it, it is generally difficult to change.
In his opinion, Inter Milan is a bottomless pit, if he knows that he has to jump down, isn't that his own guilt?
Besides, it's easy to jump in, but it's hard to jump out.
Therefore, although Yang Huan didn't say anything in his mouth, he had already made a verdict against Inter Milan in his heart.
It's just that the three of Moratti obviously don't know, and they are still fighting for the favor of Young Master Huan.
"Young Master Huan, we have drawn up three sets of plans here, let's discuss them and see which one is feasible!"
Fasoone suggested with a smile.
