Chapter 760: Acceptance of the Name
Hora Buchin and the others will think so, and Yang Huan will naturally think in this direction.
I have to admit that this batch of Brazilian players in the hands of Shakhtar Donetsk is indeed quite good.
In the past few years, the Ukrainian giants have also made a lot of benefits from these players.
Even, don't look at Horabchin and Bertolucci and others are asking for themselves now, and they seem to be pitiful, but in fact? They're kind of self-inflicted.
Why desperately cram so many players, some even players with serious overlapping positions, into Shakhtar Donetsk?
Isn't it because Ukraine is rich and powerful?
Coupled with the fact that Shakhtar Donetsk can play the Champions League every year, the potential for player appreciation is huge.
Fernandinho bought Manchester City €40 million last summer, while Willian also sold for a staggering price.
These two transfers have made Shakhtar Donetsk a lot of money.
Could it be that Khorabchin and Bertolucci didn't get a piece of the pie?
Therefore, although they said miserably on the surface, Yang Huan was still very rational in his heart analyzing the pros and cons.
'There aren't a lot of players in those groups who fit our requirements, Wellington Nem, Fred, Luis Adriano, Bernard, Fernando, Douglas Costa and Alex, so I want those seven.
Yang Huan's words suddenly made Horabchin and Bertolucci slightly surprised.
This Young Master Huan is Young Master Huan, his vision is too vicious, and almost all the players selected are the best and most potential.
'My request is simple, this group of players will be placed by us to play in other teams, we promise to give enough training for the game, but they have to obey our arrangement, it's not negotiable.
Horabuchin and Bertolucci looked at each other, and both readily agreed to this condition.
They have a request now, just ask the entire European football world, who has such courage to swallow this group of players in one go like Young Master Huan?
Even if you have the financial resources, you have to have a place to arrange players.
I'm afraid even Mende? Such a super predator doesn't have this ability, right?
Therefore, unless they want to break up the players and find buyers one by one, they can only cooperate with Young Master Huan.
"One more thing, if I'm not mistaken, is that Shakhtar Donetsk's salary package for players is generally on the high side."
This is also the condition for Shakhtar Donetsk to attract Brazilian players to Ukraine, otherwise, which player is willing to give up the elite European team and not go to play in the ice and snow of Ukraine?
Of course, there are certain benefits to this.
That is, after the experience in Ukraine, the players who come out are generally very adaptable.
Except for cases like Ziglinski's move to Barcelona, the others seem to be relatively successful.
'In my case, all the players' salaries have to be renegotiated, and I can't pay the players that much.
This one made Khorabchin and Bertolucci a little embarrassed.
It's easy to raise a player's salary, but it's harder to come down.
But what Young Master Huan said is not completely unreasonable.
From the perspective of a rational operator, Shakhtar Donetsk relies on high salaries to attract players, but Young Master Huan doesn't need it at all, and even with the resources in Young Master Huan's hands, players should take a salary cut to join.
After all, Southampton's ability to nurture stars is well known.
"Young Master Huan, this one, we promise that we are willing to try our best to convince the players, and please believe that there is only one most important idea for us now, that is, to escape from Ukraine!" Khorabchin said with embarrassment.
Yang Huan nodded, and asked the players to reduce their salaries, which is indeed not easy, but Yang Huan believes that they will make a reasonable choice.
"The last one, the transfer fee!"
It should be said that this is also the most critical one.
The current situation is that the players have to run away, and Shakhtar Donetsk knows their situation and may not be able to keep the players, so they want to cash out and recover the cost as much as possible.
So, in this case, should Yang Huan take a bottom?
"Pinny!" Yang Huan looked at Pini Zahavi again.
"Young Master Huan!"
"I've been very busy lately, you help me run this matter, you go and talk to Shakhtar Donetsk, I want these seven players, and I can pay all in cash, but the transfer fee cannot exceed 60 million euros!"
Sixty million euros?
Both Horabchin and Bertolucci were a little surprised to hear this, this is too low, right?
On average, a player is less than 10 million, how is it possible?
But on second thought, why is it impossible?
With the current situation in Ukraine, everyone is worried that not only they are going to flee, but I am afraid that even the bosses of the Donetsk miners are thinking about fleeing.
Since they are all going to escape, what are they running away with the players? Or run away with cash?
It is important to know that players are not allowed to be held by third-party institutions in most European leagues.
Besides, the players are alive and kicking, and once they run, who can control them?
Okay, even if you don't run, but after a year or two, the player contract arrives, and you don't get a penny.
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "I received news that Renato Akmetov, the owner of the Donetsk miners, is my neighbor ......."
"Your neighbor?" Khorabchin was taken aback.
Not only him, but also Bertolucci and Pini Zahavi were surprised.
Does this Ukrainian tycoon live in Southampton?
Yang Huan laughed, "He bought a luxury penthouse at One Hyde Park in London a few years ago, right next door to mine!" ”
Everyone suddenly realized that it was this kind of neighbor.
But what Yang Huan thought was funny in his heart was that the location of Renato's villa was worse than his own, and the supporting facilities were worse than his own, but as a result, the price was much higher than his own.
The reason is very simple, Hyde Park No. 1, which is known as the most expensive residential area in the world, slaughtered local tyrants like Renato Akmetov and Hamad, and he took a very cheap friendship price through the relationship of the Grosvenor family.
But that's not to the point!
"I received the news that Akhmetov is supporting the former president of Ukraine, but the latter has now gone to Russia, so his situation in Ukraine is awkward, and he has been transferring assets to Europe for some time now, so I believe that he will be more interested in cash than in players."
The former president has fallen, and the new leadership team has come up, and the first thing to do is to liquidate the past.
In this case, Akhmetov's choice to transfer assets to Europe is also a matter of course.
Pini Zahavi smiled when he heard this, "If that's the case, then I know how to talk about it!" ”
Yang Huan nodded appreciatively towards the Israelis.
That's the shrewdest thing about Pini Zahavi, he will always know and help you get what you want.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
Ron Gurley pushed open the door and walked in, "Young Master Huan, the venue is almost set up, and everyone is here." ”
For this sponsorship conference, although it was a bit rushed, the club attached great importance to it.
When did Manchester United's business empire start to rise?
Wasn't it the beginning of 1999, when the Red Devils defeated Bayern Munich and won the Champions League and the treble?
Southampton would be too weak now if they didn't know how to take advantage of the team's outstanding performance in the Champions League to build momentum for the club and promote it commercially.
Besides, Peter Kenyon and Ron Gullik are both the founders of Manchester United's Red Devils business empire, and they have the experience of the last operation, and Southampton has such a good foundation, so it is natural that it will be more effective with half the effort.
"Okay, you can discuss this matter again, how to do it, and report back to Ron."
Yang Huan's words made Pini Zahavi and the others quickly stand up and nod in unison.
"In addition, I will go back and ask the people in the technical department to prepare a report, and if this deal is successful, then Barbosa will not have to leave Brazil and let Luis Adriano go to Ajax on loan!"
This is not an option, after all, Adriano is more powerful.
Barbosa is indeed talented, but he is still too young, and no one knows how much instant combat power he can have, so it is better to let him stay in Brazil with peace of mind and continue to maintain this momentum of progress.
Watching Master Huan leave the conference room, Horabchin and Bertolucci glanced at each other, and then looked at Pini Zahavi again.
Now, what to do, it is up to the Israelites.
Pini Zahavi suddenly smiled slightly, "Don't look at me like that, Young Master Huan handed over this matter to me, which proves that he trusts me and trusts you, so we just need to do things well and do good things." ”
Neither Horabuchin nor Bertolucci kept nodding, they had no choice at all.
"Actually, although many people call us human traffickers, and some even say that we are vampires, those who do our business must also know how to look at people and the situation."
"In recent years, there has been a popular word in European football, MCO, which is the multi-club co-ownership model!"
Horabuchin and Bertolucci had also heard of it, but certainly not as well as Pini Zahavi.
"Italy's Pozzo family, Thailand's Red Bull Group, and Belgian billionaire Roland DuChartellet, all of whom were pioneers of this multi-club co-ownership model, the latter of which bought Charlton Athletic in January 2014 and has previously acquired Germany's Carl Zeiss Jena, Spain's Alcorcon and Belgium's Standard Liege."
'I've also been told that Manchester City have decided to set up a City Football Group, they will set up football teams in New York and Melbourne, an academy in Ghana, and are also interested in taking a stake in a team like Sporting Lisbon.
At that, Pini Zahavi laughed again.
"But among so many people, the one I am most optimistic about is Young Master Huan, do you know why?"
Both Horabchin and Bertolucci shook their heads.
"Because of other people's mode of operation, it is difficult for people to see the hope of making a profit, and it is all dependent on investors burning money behind their backs, or like the Pozzo family, buying and selling at low prices, and it is difficult to achieve results."
"Master Ke Huan is different, he wants to connect the entire industrial chain, and he has strong resources to support him, not to mention anything else, just for Southampton's player data analysis and research system, it is enough to ensure the success of players, and the strong business operation ability of Miracle Media is a star-making weapon."
"At least, I'm very bullish on this model!"
At this point, Pini Zahavi didn't say anything more.
But in his eyes, he seemed to say, I have already said what should be said, you can do it yourself.
If you want to catch this bus from Young Master Huan, this is a very good opportunity.
Because Yang Huan's model needs an endless supply of raw materials for players from Brazil and Argentina.
And that's exactly what Horabuchin and Bertolucci do best.
Thinking of this, both Horabuchin and Bertolucci knew that they should have made a decision.
There's a good saying, want to join in?
Yes, you can vote!
