Ye Qiu usually doesn't come to the office in White Deer Lane often, but as long as he comes, something must have happened.

Therefore, when the employees of the White Hart Lane Stadium saw Ye Qiu walking into the office in a hurry, and then saw that his face was obviously not comfortable, they all wondered in their hearts, is there something wrong with the team?

There is a saying that there are many people who are popular, Tottenham Hotspur's results have soared in the past two years or so, the attention is large, and there are too many things to do, not to mention the whole world, and there is no need to zoom in to Europe, just say that the United Kingdom, almost every day there will be newspapers that Tottenham Hotspur has been poached, just poaching news, there will be every day, either big newspapers or tabloids.

So there are many fans who are wondering, why is Tottenham Hotspur not clarifying?

The reason is very simple, you don't have that much energy to clarify one by one, other newspapers rely on the pen to eat, can you talk about them? And as soon as you clarify, they immediately give you the opposite, saying that you want to stamp the seal, and if you didn't clarify before, now you clarify, you are right by them.

As the saying goes, there is no excuse for the crime of wanting to add, so Tottenham Hotspur has remained silent many times.

Moreover, in the words of Peter Kenyon, this kind of hype and publicity is also good for Tottenham Hotspur, at least many players in the team have been hyped into stars one by one, and the attention has soared.

Ye Qiu is well aware of many situations, just like competition within the team.

In Van Persie, Messi, Ribery and others have long controlled the main position in the team, there will definitely be many players with pimples in their hearts, just like Carroll, as a local star, coupled with his youthful vigor, he said in an interview with the media before that he would leave without giving the main position, but later changed his words after being pressured by the club.

The competition within the team will definitely lead to some people being happy and some worried, and the team is being targeted by those rich and powerful giants, and the management has nothing to do about it, for the simple reason that you can't compete with them at all.

After the team won the Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur has once again raised the ceiling of the team's salary structure, according to the current contract renewal situation of the team, after getting Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Ribery, Van Persie and Thiago Silva and others, Tottenham Hotspur's salary has quickly increased to the fourth place in the Premier League, behind Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City.

The main reason why Manchester City have high salaries is because they are under a lot of pressure in terms of taxes, and Tottenham Hotspur has developed an effective way to avoid taxes, which is why Wenger will say before that Arsenal's salary will not be lower than Tottenham Hotspur.

In this case, if you raise the salary of the players in order to keep them, the salary pressure of the team will inevitably increase even more, because you can meet the reasonable requirements of the players, but you can never satisfy their appetites.

It's been a crazy time, and the current top salaries in Tottenham Hotspur's squad are Lionel Messi and Franck Franck Ribery, with both players paying £100,000 and this is a five-year contract signed by the team to Ribery and Messi in the middle of the season.

In addition, the salaries of people like Van Persie, David Silva, Thiago Silva, Alves, Cech and others are all within 100,000 pounds, but they all reach about 80,000 pounds, so on the whole, Tottenham Hotspur's salary structure is relatively well controlled in the Premier League, because the team has performed well and the strength of the players has improved a lot, almost all of them are salary increases once a year.

At this point, some of the main core players are satisfied, even if they seem to be paid less than the stars of other teams, but the team is currently on the rise, and they will not have any signs of resistance.

But the main problem lies with the other players.

Cesc Fabregas's contract is under negotiation and the team wants to offer him £80,000 a week, to the level of Van Persie, Thiago Silva and others, and slightly higher than the new signing David Silva, but Fabregas is still considering it because he clearly prefers to go to Barcelona.

If Cesc Fabregas's hesitant team is still mentally prepared, then Carroll's demand for a weekly salary of up to 100,000 pounds, and Ashley Young's demand for a weekly salary for key players will be a little difficult for Tottenham Hotspur management to accept.

At present, the top salary in the Premier League is Manchester City's Robinho, up to 160,000 pounds, John Terry's weekly salary is also as high as 150,000 pounds, and Frank Lampard's weekly salary is 140,000 pounds, and Gerrard's is 130,000 pounds, all of which exceed the previous England salary bottom line of 100,000 pounds.

In the past, Premier League teams were reluctant to exceed 100,000 pounds a week, a very important reason was taxes, but now basically 100,000 a week salary is nothing in the Premier League, you go to 20 Premier League teams to see, almost every team has players with a weekly salary of more than 100,000 pounds, Tottenham Hotspur only two, and the top four teams in the league are well controlled.

At present, the British labor department has released the news that from April 10, all high-income groups with an annual salary of more than 150,000 pounds will be levied as high as 50 personal income tax, that is, by April 20l0, the player's salary will usher in a new round of increases.

Some people may think, hey, what is it from 40 to 50, besides, the player's salary is before tax, and when the time comes, the deduction will also deduct the player's salary, what does it have to do with the club?

In fact, this is a big mistake, because the players will not be happy at that time, in order to ensure that their income is not cut at the very least, the club will fill the tax gap for them, and this is not only l, but

For example, if a player's annual salary is 1 million, according to the current 40 tax rate, then he can get 600,000, and in April of 10 years, in order to ensure that he can get 600,000 income, his annual salary must be increased to 1.2 million, that is, because it is simple, the increase is also subject to tax.

According to the current salary structure of all teams in the Premier League, except for those young players in the youth camp, almost all players have to pay taxes, and their annual income is more than 150,000 pounds, so this is equivalent to the government forcing the club to pay more salaries for no reason, because they know very well that with the signing of large live broadcast rights, the Premier League teams are not poor, and the poor are the government.

Of course, you can choose not to give a player a raise, but if you are a player, will you be willing? Wouldn't you want to leave this damn country?

Therefore, Ye Qiu and Peter Kenyon know very well in their hearts that the salary structure must be suppressed, and once it cannot be suppressed, it will definitely be a big disaster for Tottenham Hotspur, because once the salary structure bursts, it will become a heavy burden on the club's back for a long time.

Regarding the salary increase requirements of Carol and others, Ye Qiu and the management have very consistent attitudes, and it is impossible to accept them

Before Carroll said to the outside world that he would leave if he didn't give him the main team, Ye Qiu had conveyed it to Carroll's agent through Peter Kenyon, telling him that he could find a place for his players, and as long as the bid was right, Tottenham Hotspur would release him at any time.

Not to mention, the efficiency is still very fast, and it didn't take long for a few teams to come to the door, but all of them wanted to fish in troubled waters, and the price offered was basically around 10 million euros, which was not seen by Tottenham Hotspur at all.

Until today, the famous agent of the Premier League, Horabuchin, came to the White Hart Lane stadium in person, made contact with Peter Kenyon, asked about the transfer price of the two English local players in the team, Andy Carroll and Ashley Young, and also asked Messi with concern, and the two sides had a preliminary contact

"Twenty million euros, this is the price they set for Andy Carroll, and Mark Hughes also wants to bring in Ashley Young" Peter Kenyon was in the office, and after seeing Ye Qiu, he smiled and introduced the situation, "And Horabuchin also asked us about Messi's transfer." ”

"They want Messi?" Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows.

"Any price, as long as we are willing to sell" Peter Kenyon was a little excited.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Franck Franck Ribery, Kaka and Chelsea's Wayne Rooney are among the few superstars in football today who can make a splash, two of them at Tottenham Hotspur, and they can almost be said to be Tottenham Hotspur's façade signs.

Many people say that Tottenham Hotspur is a giant, because this team is supported by two stars, Messi and Ribery.

"How much can you give?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Peter Kenyon is serious, "whatever we want, nine figures"

This made Ye Qiu really a little surprised, for his previous life, Manchester City wanted to introduce Kaka to use a nine-figure transfer fee, Ye Qiu was a little skeptical about this, because he always had a half-believing attitude towards the remarks and reports of some media in his previous life, but now, when it really happened to him, he really felt a little surprised.

But it's just a little surprised, for Ye Qiu now, nine figures is really not a lot of money.

"You know, the top players are priceless, so there is no need to talk about Messi's affairs at all," Ye Qiu said unceremoniously.

Peter Kenyon also smiled, but it was a wry smile, "However, I'm afraid that the conditions they offer the players are too good"

Tottenham Hotspur's new contract to Messi is a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, but don't think that Messi only gets a weekly salary of 60,000 pounds, this is not the case, because the salary in the Premier League is calculated according to the working week, that is, there is no salary during the summer holidays, so generally speaking, it is about forty-six weeks a year.

However, the personal income tax of players is calculated on a monthly basis, and the whole calculation process is very cumbersome and complicated, Tottenham Hotspur has hired several very well-known accountants in the UK to be responsible for the tax payment and tax avoidance of players, and Tottenham Hotspur Most of the players pay taxes by the club.

Another point is that Tottenham Hotspur has established a complete set of tax avoidance procedures, for example, according to the current tax standard of the Premier League, the personal income tax is 40%, but if it is represented by a PR company, it only needs to pay P corporate tax, not to mention those tax avoidance companies that have their PR company headquarters overseas

Beckham has set up his own public relations company to avoid taxes, and his personal income tax is handled by himself, which is already mature, so there is no need to go through Tottenham Hotspur, and Tottenham Hotspur itself also has a complete set of tax avoidance methods.

For example, in the past, it was the image rights of players, but since UU, this part of the income has been included in the player's salary, and it is also subject to tax, so Tottenham Hotspur controls the player's image rights income at 15% of the player's salary, because this part is not taxable, and the rest is paid through various other names and channels.

For example, placement costs, Champions Cup bonuses, subsidies for players' dependents, and so on.

According to the rules of the Premier League, the club has to provide the salary of each player, but does not need to submit image rights income and various bonus income, so this gives the team room to operate.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, Messi's weekly salary is 100,000 pounds, but 15 of it belongs to the image rights income that does not pay tax, and the remaining part has to be operated through a public relations company and pay P corporate tax, so fundamentally speaking, Messi's actual after-tax income is definitely more than 80,000 pounds.

The actual salary will not be much worse than Gerrard, Lampard and other people with the highest salary, so Messi is also very satisfied with this contract, and Tottenham Hotspur did not pay much more, but the procedures of the whole process are a little more cumbersome.

The Premier League also turns a blind eye to this kind of thing, as long as your team has the ability to avoid those taxes, no one will care how much tax you steal, because this is called reasonable tax avoidance, no one can care.

However, it should be noted that compared with the outside world, the gap between this salary is actually very large, because according to the news that Ye Qiu got privately, according to the agreement reached between Jorge Mendes and Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo signed a contract with Real Madrid, and the weekly salary is as high as 220,000 pounds after tax.

After Robinho's transfer to Manchester City, his weekly salary also reached 160,000 pounds before tax, if Manchester City really wants to persuade Messi to directly offer two or three times the current weekly salary, Messi can refuse?

Ye Qiu thought of this, and he knew very well what the situation was now, as long as Tottenham Hotspur continued to adhere to the healthy business route, the number one star would be poached, it would definitely appear, sooner or later, Manchester United is the best example, from Beckham to Cristiano Ronaldo, the number one star will inevitably be poached.

"The soldiers of the iron-clad camp and the flowing water, when it really comes to that time," Ye Qiu sighed softly

"But, the transfer of Peter, Andy Carroll and Ashley Young, you have to sell it to me, I'll take care of the players, at least I won't let them talk again, and if they sell high, they will have a high salary, and it's Manchester City who are unlucky, so it's not a big problem, you have to raise your voice as high as possible"

Peter Kenyon smiled after hearing this, "Now Manchester City is in urgent need of introducing a few local players, and there are not many local youth training in England in recent years, from Rooney to now, almost no one has picked up, and now there is finally a Carroll, I know how to operate"

The Premier League implements a 17fR registration policy, that is, eight of the 25-man roster must be natively cultivated, but unlike what many people understand, these eight players do not have any nationality restrictions, but they are required to have three years to receive local youth training in England before the age of 21

England's academy has been pretty bad for so many years, and it can be said that almost all teams except Manchester United are not up to standard, and Tottenham Hotspur has often had to pull in some second-team players to make up the numbers before they can complete the registration.

However, with the FA and the Premier League announcing the relaxation of regional restrictions on youth training, Tottenham Hotspur's scouts are looking for candidates to fill the vacancies in the youth training camp across England, plus the team takes the younger route, including some young players who do not need to sign up to participate in the league directly, so Ye Qiu is not nostalgic for Carol at all.

For a long time, in the Premier League, the transfer price of local players in England has always been relatively high, the reason is very simple, the style of the Premier League is different from other leagues on the mainland, and there is an adaptability problem in the introduction of mainland players, but there is no problem in this aspect of the introduction of local players in England.

And England fans have always been more inclined to local players, so many of the team's flag stars are local players, such as Manchester United's Class 92, such as Chelsea's John Terry and Frank Lampard, and Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, even if these local players often cause trouble, for example, Gerrard was arrested by the police for fighting not long ago, but fans still love him.

All kinds of complex subjective and objective factors have led to the popularity of local players, but the English youth training is not strong, so it has led to the inflated value of local players, especially when you want to introduce some well-known local players.

Tottenham Hotspur is located in London, which is an international city, and it is not only for local fans in England, so they do not rely on the appeal of local players, so even if there are almost few local players in the Arsenal team to play the main team, their attendance is still high, which is caused by the objective environment of London, an international city.

"I hope to be able to use the transfer proceeds from the sale of Carroll and Ashley Young to invest in the development of commercial buildings in the financial district," Ye Qiu said what he really thought.

According to the data obtained by the market research company commissioned by Huangtian Group, although the overall office rents in London's financial district have fallen by 30% since the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, and the overall house price is also on a downward trend, but with the Olympics approaching and exciting, this is a very good opportunity.

It is expected that in the next six years, there will be 1.5 million square meters of office leases in central London, according to the law of the market, 30% will move to a new location, and after the Olympics, the number of employees in the London financial district will increase from the current 300,000 to about 350,000, reaching the peak of 07, and more employees, office space will also be expanded, and the demand will be strong.

The skyscraper where the Zhenhua Hotel is located has attracted a lot of attention, but this is only the first step for Huangtian Group, and they will continue to build high-end office buildings in the financial district, or real estate projects with potential, focusing on the market potential in the next few years.

Tottenham Hotspur is responsible for threading the needle, and naturally wants a piece of the pie, and Ye Qiu hopes that the team can invest more and generate rich returns in the future.

At the beginning, the president of Real Madrid's Bernabeu left the old sports city to Real Madrid, and as a result, Real Madrid, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, completely turned over, not only introduced superstars such as Figo and Zidane, but also became the world's leading super giant, many people said that it was supported by the Spanish government, so they should go to Madrid to see the Four Towers business district and see if the government is making money

It can be seen that all the real estate in the world is the same, the difference is that some people play with it, and some people play with it

For Ye Qiu's investment plan, Peter Kenyon is also quite supportive, Manchester United also invested in a lot of industries in the early years, developing the land of Old Trafford Park, but with the acquisition of the Glazer family, the team is full of debts, not only has it continued to sell its property over the years, but also lost money every year.

And Arsenal, didn't they also invest in the Highbury real estate project in the first place? It's just unfortunate that they have encountered a subprime mortgage and a European debt crisis, which has made the team even worse, otherwise I don't know how much more nourishing the road would be now.

Tottenham Hotspur took advantage of the current economic downturn to buy the bottom, and it is indeed a head

"You don't have to worry about going to Munich, I'll leave these things to me" Peter Kenyon knew Ye Qiu's thoughts, and he also knew what he wanted.
