535 Oil Tycoon
After every tournament, that's when the transfer market is at its highest. Of course, in recent years, European football has been inseparable from Chelsea every summer of transfers. Of course, Chelsea have never disappointed, and this summer has been a big move, and it has been more aggressive and surprising than the previous two years.
Chelsea have been completely transformed. From the nouveau riche who was despised by European football when Roman Abramovich first took charge of Chelsea, Chelsea has now completed two consecutive Premier League titles. Chelsea's attraction to players has also changed from the beginning of the money offensive to the charm of its own players.
This summer, Chelsea first acquired German superstar Ballack on a free transfer, and then brought in Ukrainian nuclear warhead Andriy Shevchenko for a staggering £35 million. Of course, it wasn't over yet, as Chelsea soon brought in the Premier League's most famous homegrown left-back, Ashley, for Galla and £5 million. Cole.
This season Chelsea have brought in some of the biggest names in European football. Every one of them was in Bayern, Milan, Arsenal and other clubs before the transfer. From the side, it can also be seen that Chelsea has a strong attraction from the beginning when it could only buy people with money. It can already attract stars of the level of Ballack and Shevchenko.
Chelsea are getting stronger, and so are the rest of the Premier League. Manchester United is the one who has the most action, almost changing the front court. Ruud van Nistelrooy left Manchester United for 15 million euros, Rosicky went to Atletico Madrid for 24 million euros, and even Joaquín went to Real Madrid for 26 million euros.
But it's the players who have been brought in the most. Franck Ribery, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra and, most recently, Barcelona's Villa. Barcelona are anxious to get rid of Villa. In the end, the price was very low by Manchester United, and it was sold for 22 million euros. It can be said that Barcelona lost a lot in this one. Because according to the normal market price, Villa's transfer fee should be more than 35 million euros.
Manchester United brought in Villa at such a low price, and Ferguson was very happy. Of course, Rist is the happiest in the middle, because Rist not only earned the two million euros commission that he should have gotten in the first place, but also because he helped Manchester United lower the price, so Manchester United also had to say something. With this transfer, Rist received 4.5 million euros from Manchester United alone. Villa's salary has also increased significantly, enjoying a salary of 100,000 pounds at Manchester United.
Rist likes the transfer market. Look at Alex Ferguson, who sold two of Rist's players, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Joaquín, to Real Madrid. Then Lister's players were brought in, Ribery and Villa. One in and one out are all Rister players. But Rist made more than 15 million euros in the process, almost 20 million euros.
But this transfer is not over. After the World Cup, Materazzi performed well in the World Cup, and Inter took him away from Tottenham. Materazzi also wants to return to play in the country. Tottenham are without Materazzi. He took Skrtel with him from Sparta Prague. It's also all Rist's players in and out. It made Rist earn almost two million euros.
Sparta Prague is ready to make a big deal with Heynckes. Now that Skrtel is gone, Sparta Prague has no hesitation. Their talented centre-back Kompany were brought in directly from Belgium. This is a direct interception of the Hamburg player, and of course Sparta Prague spent seven million euros to bring in Kompany.
Of course, Barcelona brought in Abidal. So Jankulovski didn't stay in Barcelona either. Tottenham took Patrice Evra and found Jankulovski. Jankulovski moved to Tottenham for £7 million.
So far, Rist has made a lot of heavyweight transfers this summer. For example, Ribery's transfer fee is more than 40 million euros, and Joaquin, Villa, and Rosicky are all transfers of more than 20 million euros. So far, Rist's player transfer fees have combined to exceed 200 million euros.
Needless to say, Rist. Sold a lot of people, like Hulk and Suarez got half of the transfer fee. Within a summer, Rist collected more than 30 million euros in commissions from these transfers. It makes many agents drool, because Rist is really making money every day.
Because of the large number of transfers, coupled with the significant increase in the salaries of many of Lister's players, the commercial income has increased. Therefore, Riester's income this year should easily reach around 60 million euros. Rist's current annual revenue and profit can even be compared with the profits of many large companies in the world.
…………
"It's really hot here."
Rist forced his eyes to feel the summer in the Middle East. Although I didn't look at the weather forecast, Rister was able to feel it for himself. The temperature in Abu Dhabi should be around 378 degrees now, and maybe even higher.
Rist remembered that FIFA later put the World Cup in the Middle East, and it was funny to think about it. In such a hot summer, how to play the World Cup and heat up a bunch of players. Blatter later thought it was wrong, but swore that he was just to promote football, who could believe this kind of. No one would do that without enough benefits.
"It's your first time in the UAE, right?"
"Yes."
The buddy who drove for Rist was very talkative. This is mainly due to the fact that most of Abu Dhabi is full of immigrants, many of whom are from India or Pakistan. In addition, this is a tourist destination in the Middle East, and many Europeans will come here for tourism. Eighty percent of the travelers are Europeans, and they are used to it. Abu Dhabi is indeed very beautiful, and the greenery is also very good. Rist is more envious of the Emirati gang.
Are these people smart? was beaten by Israel and retreated. Say they're industrious? The Chinese are far more industrious than they are. But these bastards are rich, and not ordinary. What is the biggest reason?
It's that they have oil under their feet. Since the end of the Cold War and the rise in oil prices, these people have become rich. These people do almost nothing, and they are all top rich people. The man Rist is going to see today. It's one of their group.
By the time Rist's car reached its destination, the man Rist was going to see was already standing there. Very young, only 29 years old this year, but the net worth is already 3 billion pounds. Of course, this is only his superficial net worth, and this person's family assets are around 500 billion pounds.
"Hello, Mr. Rist."
When Rist came down, the young man came up. Without any hesitation, Rist stepped forward and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Alfahim. ”
The man who met with Rist was Suleiman, a member of the Nahyan family of the Abu Dhabi royal family. Alfahim, the wealthy boss of the Middle East who later made a name for himself at Manchester City.
Rist and Alfahim don't know each other. Rist came to the Middle East this time for the purpose of his player's retirement in the future. Rist now has a large number of players starting to enter the end of his career. Going to the Middle East to pan for gold is a must. This is a very important way for many players to make money. It's not just that the pay is high here. And it's not as tax-high as in Europe. Generally, the big-name foreign players who come here to play football don't have to pay taxes. In other words, at the end of his career, he can earn at least $3 million a year in the UAE. That's why Rist came to explore the road this time.
This time it was mainly for Yankole and Galasek. Both Jankole and Galasek are already thirty-three years old, which is an old age. There are some difficulties in coping with the top leagues in Europe. But they don't want to retire yet. The best place to do this is to pan for gold in the Middle East. I didn't expect it to be when Rist and Al Ain were negotiating. Received an invitation from Alfahim.
Alfahim was short, a head shorter than Riester. The place where Alfahim invited Lister was very luxurious, even if Lister had seen so many worlds. I also have to admit that Alphasim is a real luxury here.
Although he is only 29 years old, Alfahim attended a U.S. business school, earning a Ph.D. in Real Estate Investment and an MBA in Finance and Real Estate from the Kogod School of Business at American University in Washington, D.C. He started investing in the real estate market at the age of 18, and he can be said to have a lot of knowledge and experience. And anyway, he is also a member of the royal family, and he has received different ordinary etiquette since he was a child.
Very good at talking, that's all Rist can say. In ancient times, the Chinese paid attention to food and did not speak, but now they talk at the wine table. Alfahim was very talkative when he was eating. But it's generally about what he's seen and heard in North America, and there are some other things.
After eating, Alfahim invited Rist to another place to rest. Then he smiled and said, "Lister, I've heard of your name a long time ago." ”
"Suleiman, don't tell jokes."
Rist shook his head. Although Rist is getting stronger and stronger in the world of football, his strength is expanding more and more, and his net worth is also rising steadily. As it stands, Rist's net worth is no worse than Real Madrid's original president, Florentino. Florentino's current net worth is around a billion euros, as is Riester's. It's just that Florentino controls one of Europe's largest construction companies, has close ties with Madrid's major banks, and is the former president of Real Madrid, far surpassing Rist in strength. Because Rist's influence is limited to football.
This net worth is not a fart in the eyes of other people's Alphashim. This kid grew up shouting the golden key, and their family's assets are 500 billion pounds, and the funds he directly controls are more than 3 billion pounds. How could he pay attention to Lister, but just politely.
"No, no, no, Lister. Do you know the truth? Our favorite thing to watch in the UAE is the Premier League, and most people in the Middle East like to watch the Premier League. Al Ain doesn't really have much interest in Galasek, but he does have a lot of interest in Jankole. You don't know it, here in the UAE, Liverpool has a lot of fans, and Jankoller has even more fans. I personally like Jankoller. ”
Rist smiled, and Rist knew this. In the United Arab Emirates, the influence of the Premier League is far greater than that of Serie A and La Liga.
"Lister, I want to be like Abramovich too."
"Oh!"
Rist was shocked. Could it be that Alfahim had the idea of entering football so quickly. However, Alfahim has a deep relationship with the sports world. His own Hydra company, which sponsors Dubai Sports Television and a Costa Rican football team, is also one of the sponsors of the Bundesliga. They also partnered with Serie A giants Inter Milan to set up a football school in Abu Dhabi. In addition, Al Fahim himself has long played an important role in the world of sports, he is the president of the UAE Chess Association.
"You want to buy a Premier League club?"
Rist was overjoyed. Because Rist knew that Alphashim had found Rist today, the meaning was very simple. I want to cooperate with Lister, and I hope that Lister will bring a Premier League club from it. The profit here is not one million, two million, not ten million, not twenty million.
As long as Lister serves the master in front of him, it is not difficult to earn hundreds of millions of pounds on him in a few years. That's a good thing. (To be continued......)
