Volume 1 Chapter 488 Not Bad Money
Tottenham Hotspur announce a strong foray into the hospitality industry
This news successfully made the front page of all British and even many European newspapers on the sports page the next day, and it even overshadowed the transfer soap opera between Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo, and completely suppressed the exclusive front page headline that Sheehan Ingle had high hopes for.
However, Sheehan Ingle is not discouraged, because he also experienced the groundbreaking ceremony, and he also took a photo of the front page, and his exclusive news appeared very prominently on the front page, and he rushed to produce an exclusive review and analysis last night.
Training camp in the team! On the first day, Tottenham Hotspur announced the signing of David Silva, attended an event and luncheon at BMW's London headquarters, and then went straight to the south of the Olympic Village in Stratford after a two-hour break to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the Zhenhua Hotel.
This is a five-star luxury hotel with a total investment of 700 million euros, once completed, it will replace the Shard on the banks of the Thames and become the tallest building in the United Kingdom and Europe.
Until now, the investment in the tallest building in Europe has increased to 1.5 billion euros, and it is still being improved, and now the London Bridge company in charge of the project is interested in bringing in foreign investment, including Qatar, and many Middle Eastern consortiums are interested in it, but the completion of this building is still far away.
Tottenham Hotspur's five-star hotel in partnership with the Yellow Sky Group will surpass The Shard in height, with a total height of 420 meters and 75 storeys for hotels, restaurants, apartments and offices, designed by the influential and prestigious Alkins Group in the UK, whose most famous works include the Burj Al Arab in Dubai.
And this time, Alkins also wants to make this tallest building in Europe as worthy of the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, the premier landmark in the United Kingdom and even Europe.
At the groundbreaking ceremony, Ye Qiu and Chen Zhong, CEO of Huangtian Group, said that not only will Zhenhua Hotel not only be a five-star hotel and commercial office building, but also a tourist and tourist attraction, and more environmentally friendly high-tech technologies, including water regeneration and solar energy, will also be adopted.
At the same time, Eliza Moon, CEO of Leaf Technology, also attended the groundbreaking ceremony, saying that she had reached a consensus with the City of London and the Olympic Organizing Committee to build a 0-meter-high Zeusta with a total investment of 50 million euros between the hotel and the Olympic Stadium.
The Zeusta is designed by Ye Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, and will invite the UK's largest engineering consulting company ARHP to participate, it will be an ultra-modern building, the tower will be made of steel structure, and the use of earthquake-resistant technology, the appearance will be similar to the Beijing Olympic venues Water Cube membrane, the whole tower can be climbed in three ways, namely elevators, ramps and spiral staircases.
But the most surprising thing is the top of this tower, the top of Zeusta will be installed a series of interconnected plastic bubble-like balls, each ball can be displayed as a different image and data by receiving different data signals, looking from a distance, it looks like a colorful cloud standing on top of the tower, so they call this a digital cloud.
Once the tower is completed, visitors will be able to climb to the top of the data cloud and enjoy a bird's-eye view of the entire city of London, as well as some leisure and entertainment activities inside, which will also become a landmark and new tourist attraction in London.
If Zeusta is an innovative attempt by Leaf Technology and a permanent brand promotion of Zeus mobile phones, then the five-star hotel invested by Huangtian Group is a big deal for Tottenham Hotspur to plan for the future, because Tottenham Hotspur will invest 200 million euros in the construction of this hotel, plus the value of the land, Tottenham Hotspur has a 40% stake.
With such a large investment, Tottenham Hotspur has caused amazement from the outside world, especially considering that the news revealed from the Yellow Sky Group indicates that this hotel will be put into use before the Olympic Games, which means that in the next three or four years, Tottenham Hotspur will not only have to bear the 300 million yuan for the construction of the Olympic Stadium, but also pay 200 million for the hotel construction.
The whole of the Premier League, the whole of England, and even the whole of Europe were shocked by Tottenham Hotspur's big deal.
The future of Stratford is definitely bright, especially with the involvement of Leaf Tech, and the future prospects of the five-star hotel are also promising, which is set to bring a steady stream of permanent benefits to Tottenham Hotspur in the future.
Sheehan Ingle mentioned in his exclusive commentary, "At the press conference of the groundbreaking ceremony, many reporters were asking Ye Qiu a question, do Tottenham Hotspur have enough funds to handle such a huge project? And Ye Qiu said with a smile that Tottenham Hotspur's funds are not a problem"
"According to the intelligence and information we have gathered, Tottenham Hotspur has reached an agreement with Manchester City that the team's main central defender Brad Hangrand and Croatian midfielder Luka Modric will move to Manchester City for 40 million and 45 million euros respectively, which also makes Tottenham Hotspur net income in the transfer market this summer as high as 210 million."
"Tottenham Hotspur gets 40 million euros in sponsorship fees from Adidas and Vodafone every year, and according to the results of Tottenham Hotspur's commercial operation this summer, Tottenham Hotspur has increased a total of more than 15 million sponsorship income in addition to these two major sponsors, with a total income of more than 50 million euros."
"Of course, compared to Manchester United's nearly 100 million sponsorship revenue, Tottenham Hotspur is only half of theirs, which is very inconspicuous, but this has greatly exceeded the operation of Tottenham Hotspur in the past, and they have achieved remarkable results not only in the competitive field in the past two years, but also in the commercial field."
"Moreover, let's not forget that after winning the Champions League, Deloitte predicts that Tottenham Hotspur will get 100 million euros in potential income in the next year, plus broadcast fee sharing, championship bonuses, etc., we have absolutely reason to believe that Tottenham Hotspur is not short of money as Ye Qiu said"
Sheehan Ingle was amazed by Ye Qiu's generous and ambitious operation Tottenham Hotspur also expressed his admiration, and he also mentioned a sentence from Ye Qiu in his column.
"We will continue to live a tight life in the next three or four years, but this does not mean that we will lose our fighting power, we will try to make the team frugal while ensuring the team's combat effectiveness, because we are suffering now in order to wait until the Olympics are over, when we get the new stadium, we open a new hotel, and usher in a good life."
"I want all the fans, all the players, to be with the team, we are together through thick and thin, and I can guarantee that Tottenham will never forget anyone who has walked this path together"
In Sheehan Ingle's understanding, Ye Qiu's words were to the fans, but he also said to the players that he was promising the players a future, an incomparably bright future.
"Tottenham Hotspur fans used to envy and even envy the new training base of their arch-rival Arsenal, envy them for having a new stadium, envy and envy their real estate projects, but now that the situation has clearly been reversed, Arsenal should be envious of Tottenham Hotspur, because their real estate projects have caused a heavy financial burden on the team, but Tottenham Hotspur have enough money to run such a huge project."
With the exception of Sheehan Ingle, almost all the media were amazed by Tottenham's ability to operate, and while many expressed concern about the future, many more were full of anticipation, as they all believed that Stratford's proximity to the financial district, the Olympic Village and the Olympic Park, and a major tourist attraction in London, would become more and more valuable.
But there are still a few extremists protesting because the contractor for the Zhenhua five-star hotel project and the Zeusta project will be a Chinese construction contractor, but the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has taken the initiative to clarify this, saying that this is mainly because Chinese contractors are more capable and cheaper.
Just kidding, the total investment in Dubai's Burj Khalifa with many Chinese contractors is only 1.5 billion, and the investment in a Shard will exceed 1.5 billion, and don't forget, the Burj Khalifa is in dollars, and your Shard is in euros, which is a lot worse, in the final analysis, because they are not strong enough, and the huge loss at Wembley Stadium is a very strong proof.
The Olympic Stadium is a bit special, the main reason is that Tottenham Hotspur is only responsible for giving part of it, that is, 300 million euros of funds, and all the renovation costs in the future, so Ye Qiu does not need to care about whether there is a waste of money in the construction process, but the five-star hotel and Zeusta are his own projects, of course he has to care.
This is also thanks to Boris Johnson, who has previously expressed his support for Chinese investors to invest in London, so now he must open the door to these investments.
It is believed that as time progresses, the Olympic organizing committee will become more and more embarrassed, because they will gradually find that the budget for the construction of the main stadium of the London Olympic Games will have to be increased again and again, in the final analysis, it is a problem of the industrial level of the entire country.
After the Guardian newspaper took the lead in publishing the exclusive news about Hugrid and Modric's transfer to Manchester City, the entire Premier League was shaken, because although Hangrande's value did not exceed Ferdinand's, it was a sky-high transfer, and as for Modric, the transfer fee exceeded Robinho.
After Manchester City's move, Robinho, who had fallen out with Real Madrid, finally switched to Manchester City for 42 million euros, and Real Madrid took this money and began to pursue Cristiano Ronaldo, but Ferguson still said from beginning to end, don't sell it, at least not this summer
When Ye Qiu was talking to Ferguson on the phone, Lao Fu Ye ridiculed and ridiculed Calderon and Mijatovic more than once, feeling that they were too lacking in standard and not strong enough, and they were always unflattering to offend people.
This time Ferguson moved to sell people, because in his opinion, after selling Cristiano Ronaldo, as long as the money can be used to operate the transfer, Manchester United's strength, especially the offensive level, will have a higher improvement, but because Calderon has a big mouth, Ferguson is unhappy, and Manchester United is not good to step down, so it can only be temporarily covered.
Sometimes you don't lose the battle, I can bear it if you dig into my corner, but you must not get cheap and want to sell well.
Manchester United is now stimulated by Calderon's saliva, so he would rather die than sell this summer, but he reached a private agreement with Real Madrid, and Cristiano Ronaldo will transfer to Real Madrid at a sky-high price next year. Calderón will converge somewhat.
After the disturbances at the beginning of the training camp, Tottenham Hotspur quickly put into training and preparation for the new season.
Due to the upcoming trip to China, Tottenham Hotspur will play three warm-up matches in China, the last of which is in Beijing, the time is July 31, exactly a week before the first game of Olympic men's football, which is also Tottenham Hotspur's warm-up for the Beijing Olympics and drive the atmosphere.
This time the trip to China was sponsored by Adidas, Tottenham's main sponsor, and later joined BMW and Qatar Airways, all three of which jointly supported Tottenham Hotspur's China tour.
At the beginning of August, Tottenham Hotspur will travel to Amsterdam for the Amsterdam Cup Invitational Tournament hosted by Ajax, joining Serie A champions Inter Milan and La Liga powerhouse Sevilla.
By the way, exactly like Ye Qiu's previous life, Mourinho replaced Mancini as the head coach of Inter Milan this summer after stepping down from Chelsea, so this time the Amsterdam Cup is another contest between Ye Qiu and Mourinho after a long absence, and it has also attracted the attention of many fans and media, and many TV organizations will broadcast it live.
After returning to London from the Netherlands, Tottenham Hotspur will usher in the Community Shield with Manchester United, but it will still be a big test for Tottenham Hotspur at that time, because including Messi, Kompany, Lucas, Marcelo will participate in the Olympics, and there was originally a Thiago Silva, but after Ye Qiu negotiated with the players and the Brazilian Olympic team, it was finally decided to release Lucas and Marcelo, and Thiago Silva did not participate.
Not only that, but this time the players are still the same as usual, participating in the team's pre-season training camp until the team finishes the last warm-up game against the Beijing team, they will go directly to their respective teams to participate in joint training丨 and until the end of the Olympic Games.
This is also the result of negotiations between Tottenham Hotspur and the Olympic teams of Argentina, Belgium and Brazil.
When you think about it, Tottenham Hotspur is arguably the biggest supporter of the Olympics in the Premier League, as they have a total of four players selected, including top stars like Lionel Messi.
On the contrary, there are several other teams, Arsenal has one Alexander Song, Manchester United has only one Anderson, Chelsea has not even one, Liverpool has only one Babbel, and Tottenham Hotspur has more than they combined, which is still after selling Mascherano and keeping Thiago Silva, otherwise the impact will be even greater.
This also has something to do with the relatively young age of Tottenham Hotspur players, and this will definitely affect Tottenham Hotspur's performance during the Olympics, but Ye Qiu is also actively preparing for countermeasures.
Tottenham Hotspur training camp in Theobold! At that time, it is not only Ramsey, Hazzard, Kyle Walker and other youngsters who entered the first team last season to participate, including Raphael Varane, Pogba, Nastasic, as well as Neymar and Coutinho, who are under 18 years old and have been re-loaned to Brazil after being brought in.
Speaking of Coutinho, this is still Ye Qiu's harvest at the football economic forum in the transfer market last summer, his agent recommended Coutinho to Ye Qiu, saying that it didn't cost much to get this player, and as a result, Tottenham Hotspur got the Brazilian midfielder for a pitiful transfer fee, but he was limited by being less than 18 years old, so he re-loaned da Gama.
As a result, in the South American Ul5 competition in 07 years, Coutinho was an instant hit, and De Visser's evaluation of him was also very high, thinking that his skills were very good, but he was not fancy, and he took the pragmatic route of leaning towards Europeanization, and he also entered the first team of da Gama, and got enough opportunities to practice.
In the past year, Coutinho has attracted the attention of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Inter Milan, AC Milan and many other giant teams, among which Real Madrid has paid a high price for him, but Tottenham Hotspur still does not plan to shoot, but to keep him in da Gama to continue to develop.
But this does not mean that Tottenham Hotspur does not value him, and every month Tottenham Hotspur will arrange personnel to go to Brazil to conduct physical tests and exchanges with Coutinho and Neymar, and at the same time give some professional advice from the coaching staff to help them improve their strengths and shortcomings.
And during the league break, they will go to Tottenham Hotspur to participate in the team's joint training丨Every summer training camp丨 will also report to the team, all fees are paid by Tottenham Hotspur, the purpose of this is to cultivate the loyalty of these players to the team, but also to help them better integrate into the team in the future.
Compared with the introduction of mature players with strength, Ye Qiu prefers relatively young players, not that he has pedophilia, but because he feels that young players are malleable, and mature players often have formed their style and skills, but young players are not, they have strong moldability.
Messi's body is stronger than before, and the rhythm of his football is faster than in his previous life, which is the result of Ye Qiu's transformation of his Premier League words, and the same is true of Cesc Fabregas, the reason why he performs differently from Xavi in the national team is because he is tougher, plays more directly, and tends to be more creative and adventurous in passing.
These are all changes that have been produced by Ye Qiu's carving since childhood.
Similarly, the current group of young players in the Tottenham Hotspur squad will be nurtured and refined by Tottenham Hotspur according to their characteristics and the team's technical and tactical style, so that they can be promoted to the first team in the future.
But don't worry about them not being able to adapt to other teams, because one of the most important elements of Tottenham Hotspur's style of play is positional ambiguity, so diversity and adaptability are the focus, so there is certainly no problem with the players in this regard.
And this group of talent pools is Ye Qiu's confidence in the future of the team
