"Okay, I got it. Mr. Liu, you tell them for me, I welcome them at any time. ”

During the half-time break in the national derby, Rist received a call from England. Originally, La Liga matches started very late, but now La Liga also starts a little early in order to take care of Asian audiences. It's only about nine o'clock in the evening.

"Chinese?"

"Yes."

Reesette nodded. The person who just called Lister was Liu Hongwei, the chairman of AutoNavi. The two have cooperated very well for more than ten years, and the two have monopolized the channel for European giants to play business matches in Asia.

In the past 10 years or so, the development of the Asian economy has been getting faster and faster. If Rist and Liu Hongwei first worked together, China's economy was still only in the stage of development. Since the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, the Asian economy has become more and more important in the world. The development of China's economy is attracting more and more attention at this time, and everyone is surprised by the strength of the Asian economy. As a result, European football is also paying more and more attention to the distant Asian market.

Therefore, in the past ten years, European giants have basically played commercial matches in China, and of course, they have also played commercial matches in other parts of Asia. However, AutoNavi is now the largest sports promotion company in Asia, and every time a European giant comes to Asia, it can roll up a lot of money. Like last summer's Italian Super Cup held in Beijing, AutoNavi operated this game, and finally got tired of more than 200 million yuan. Of course, as a partner of AutoNavi, Riester also received a share of more than 10 million euros.

Of course, it is not without other sports companies that want to avoid AutoNavi and avoid Lister. However, AutoNavi and Riester have cooperated for many years and have formed a very formal means of operation. Moreover, many sports companies in Asia recognize the brand of AutoNavi. Therefore, some people who want to take the business from them can only use higher and higher appearance fees to attract European giants. There are some wealthy families who have been fooled.

At the peak of Dream II, especially after the introduction of Henry in 06, Barcelona wanted to play in Asia. After all, Barcelona at that time had top superstars such as Ronaldinho and Thierry Henry. At that time, Rist negotiated with Barcelona on behalf of Gaode Company, and the conditions given were still very generous. It was precisely because Barcelona had a good performance at that time that Yumeji had a great influence. So Rister's bottom line at that time was an appearance fee of 3 million euros, about 30 million yuan.

If Barcelona plays about five games in Asia, then the appearance fee alone can sweep away about 15 million euros. Add in some other income, and it's easy to get more than 20 million euros in a circle. And if the marketing is a little better. Maybe 30 million euros is not impossible to earn.

But it was at this time that a sports promotion company popped up, and finally shouted an appearance fee of five million euros. Rist and AutoNavi withdrew from the negotiations on the spot, because the five million euro appearance fee ended up not even making a profit. It's all about losing money and making money. With the cooperation between Rist and AutoNavi for many years, how can they do such a money-losing business.

In the end, the talks collapsed, and Barcelona and they reached an agreement. But this kind of contract Barcelona requires some deposit in advance, but at the last moment they simply can't take out such a high deposit. The sports company that shouted five million euros is a shell company, they want to use Barça's empty gloves to white wolves, where is the money to pay them a deposit. In the end, this collaboration fell through. Barcelona has been preparing for a long trip to Asia, and finally the chicken flies and the egg beats.

It is precisely because of the emergence of this informal company that AutoNavi's position in Asia is getting higher and higher. The influence of the big clubs in Europe is also growing. So much so that now the European giants' Asian tours are through AutoNavi, and then in addition to China and Hong Kong, AutoNavi's commercial competitions in other countries are subcontracted to their own sports promotion companies. AutoNavi has also grown from a small domestic company in China more than a decade ago to the largest sports promotion company in Asia. Liu Hongwei has also gone from being a small rich man back then to a sports predator with a net worth of more than one billion yuan.

"Chairman of AutoNavi in China. You should know him. ”

"Acquaintance."

Carvajal nodded. When Real Madrid went to China, he went with him and met them. Carvajal understood that Rist and AutoNavi were partners, and even co-founded AutoNavi Asia Sports Promotion. Rist himself also invested a lot of money.

"Looks like I'm going on a trip to London."

"How?"

"China's big bosses are also going to enter the football industry."

"Chinese money?"

In fact, European countries that are now in a downturn are counting on Chinese funds to come and help them. The same is true in European football, where many giants and strong teams have the idea of playing China's side because of lack of money. After all, the world's economy is in shambles, and only the East Asian economy, led by China, Japan and South Korea, is in the red.

…………

National Derby Lister did not continue to pay attention. The match was tied 1-1. It was the first time that Mourinho drew with Barcelona since coming to Real Madrid.

Of course, there were some episodes in the game, that is, Pepe, who had a record number of red cards in the national derby, received another red card in this game. Fortunately, it only accumulated two yellow cards and there was no boxing action.

But at this time, Lister had already come to London and met Liu Hongwei. Then followed Liu Hongwei to meet the big Chinese boss that Lister was going to meet, but not the big boss himself. Rather, it is his representative.

"Mr. Liu, I have heard the reputation of Evergrande Group for a long time."

"Don't dare. Mr. Cherny is a big name, and everyone in Chinese football knows it. ”

The person who was able to make Rist come over in a hurry was Liu Yongzhuo, vice president of China Evergrande Group. It is on behalf of Evergrande Group, Lister who contacted through AutoNavi.

Others don't know. Rist is aware. Evergrande Group will soon be in a few months' time, and they will be in charge of Guangzhou football. Then began the glory of Guangzhou football, and even a few years later it was able to win the AFC Champions League.

"You may be seated."

Liu Yongzhuo was surprised by Lister's fluency in Chinese. Although I had heard that Lister's Chinese was very good before I met him, I didn't expect his Chinese to be so good. There is almost no difference from the Chinese. It's no wonder that when he inquired about agents who had a deep relationship with Chinese football, many people recommended Rist.

It was not impossible for Liu Yongzhuo to contact Rist alone, but he couldn't. Because Rist is not only the No. 1 agent in world football, but also the richest man who can enter the Forbes rich list. How can such a person be able to see him as soon as he wants? Only his own boss is qualified to meet with him. That's why he found AutoNavi and contacted Rist through Liu Hongwei.

"Mr. Liu, I don't know what you're looking for me for?"

In fact, it is impossible for Evergrande to bring much benefit to Lister. After all, Chinese football has restrictions on foreign aid. And the limitations are not small. And even if Evergrande has money, it will not introduce too expensive players. And the players with high fortune in European football, who will go to China to play. No matter how rich the Chinese league is, it is not attractive to many stars in Europe who are playing in their prime.

But Rist still attaches great importance to the vice president of Evergrande this time. It is also the future chairman of Guangzhou Evergrande Club, Liu Yongzhuo. It's not because of how much profit it makes, but that Rist has been looking for a place for his players to retire.

The Middle East is very good, but the players that can be accommodated are also limited. China is good, the economy is becoming more and more developed, and the enthusiasm for football is also getting higher and higher. And in the next few years, Chinese bosses will also dare to invest. Of course, although it is a pension, it will not let those people in their seventies and eighties go to retire. Even if it is a pension, it will let those really powerful players go to retire.

Now that Rister is over 30, there are more and more players, and Rister has to arrange their future lives. There will be no shortage of veterans that the Chinese league can consume. This can not only increase the exposure of the Chinese league, but also increase the popularity of the Chinese league. You can also bring experience to the Chinese league, and by the way, you can also arrange your players to earn some money in the later years of their careers. Such a multi-pronged thing. How could Rist give up.

"Mr. Czerny, our Evergrande Group is also ready to enter the football world."

"European football?"

"No, it's the Chinese league."

Rist already knew, but nodded as if it was the first time he heard it. Then he said, "Then I don't know what needs me." I love China. I also hope that the Chinese league can develop. I've worked with Chinese players a lot and I've been very impressed. I'm here to help with anything you need. ”

Rist was very bold. With Rist's current status, he can't be too urgent for a club in China. But likewise, Mr. Rist doesn't want China's future investments to be taken away by other brokers. Therefore, Rist can only use other ways to express his love for Chinese football.

"Thank you, Mr. Cyrny."

Liu Yongzhuo was very happy. He had known Rist before he came. As long as you know about Lister, you can understand Lister's position in world football.

Just like Messi, the highest-paid player in world football, has a salary of 13 million euros after tax. The highest-paid players in the Premier League, Torres and Yaya. Toure is paid £220,000 a week. They are all players who belong to Rist. And almost half of the transfers that have come out in recent years with super high transfer fees are Rist's players.

Some boring people will count Rist's annual income. There is an exaggerated statistic that Rist's current annual income is in the hundreds of millions of euros. In fact, his statistics are not exaggerated. In the past three or four years, Rist's annual income has indeed exceeded hundreds of millions of euros. In the past three or four years, Rist's income has been high and high, earning more than 500 million euros in the last three years alone. Because Rist's income is now not limited to transfer commissions, player transfer fees, and salary sharing, Rist has now started to have some other industries. Therefore, many people are unable to count Riester's income.

Although he is the vice president of Evergrande Group, he is ready to eat behind closed doors. I didn't expect Rist to be more enjoyable than I imagined. So he was very happy: "We are expected to play in the second division next season. Our goal is to upgrade. Therefore, it is hoped that with the help of Mr. Cerny's connections, he can bring in several powerful players to help the club upgrade. ”

Reesette nodded. In fact, for some things in Chinese football recently, Rist understands. Especially in the past two months, in the anti-gambling and anti-black storm in Chinese football, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Baiyunshan Club. That is, the predecessor of Guangzhou Evergrande was very seriously involved. Several high-ranking officials of Guangyao have been arrested. Downgrading is a sure thing.

"Okay, no problem. I'll compile a list of documents, and I'll pass them on to you when you ask for them. ”

"Thank you. Mr. Czerny, we want to get players who can play. ”

"No, I don't. The most important thing about me as a person is mutual benefit. I'm not going to trick you with players, and the clubs in European football can prove that. My credit was forged over the course of fifteen years as a broker. I hope to be able to cooperate with the Chinese league for a long time, and I will not do that kind of tricky business. ”
