"Rist, why did you change your mind?"
Regarding Lister's investment of three million dollars in the Mechelen club, Hanush asked with a smile. After five days in Brazil, Rist did not return to China to focus on the commercial competition. There's a fixed program there, and there's no need for Lister to meddle in everything. So Riester returned to Belgium first and came to the Mechelen club.
In addition to the two new players, Rist has also dealt with a number of club matters. Then he paid off the club's debts, and left the club with $400,000.
"David, I've thought about it. How can there be a profit without investment. Input first, then there is output. With that money, we're only investing about $6.4 million, and as long as we sell one or two players, the money will come out. β
With the additional investment, Rist was not distressed at all. The current Mechelen club is full of good players, and the eighteen-year-old Collo. Toure, KonΓ© and 21-year-old Drogba, including Sicinho and Baptista, who were brought from Brazil this time. It turns out that the level is as far as the general Belgian First Division is concerned, and the strength of Mechelen Club is still very good. Even in a year or two, the strength of Mechelen FC will definitely be the best in the Belgian league. When the time comes, these players will be easy to sell.
"David, the money we put in in a year, or at most two years, will come back to us exponentially."
"Perhaps."
Hanush is now horrified to watch Rist's lavish spending. At first, it was tens of thousands of dollars, then hundreds of thousands of dollars, and now Rist is millions of dollars. Spend so much money without blinking an eye. Hanush is now discovering that Lister is getting bolder. All kinds of transfers are one after another.
"Rest assured. David. In less than three years, you'll be a multi-millionaire. β
Rist patted Hanush on the shoulder. This partner of mine is very careful and willing to care about everything. As long as anything is left to him, then Rist is very relieved. Therefore, Rist only grasps the general direction, and Hanush is responsible for many small things. It should be said that Hanusz is responsible for the ordinary affairs of the company now.
Including those brokers who appease the company, balancing the company's resources requires Hanush's efforts. It's just that this is how he is, and he has done these things very well. But in Dafang Xiangshang he could not master. However, it is precisely because of this that Lister and Hanusz can complement each other's strengths and become a very good pair at present.
"Multimillionaires? Hehe. β
He didn't doubt it at all. Because after following Rist as an agent, his income is also very high. In the past few years, there has been more than two million in revenue. But after becoming a multimillionaire in two or three years, Hanush was still very skeptical.
"Just wait. David. That's right. I'm going to China, and I'm going to go back to China. I'll take care of the things over there, and you should care more about the Mechelen club. β
Mechelen's club Riester has invested a lot of money. Rist's expectations are also relatively high, which is why Hanush is staring at this side.
"Don't worry."
Even an agent like Rist, who flies around on planes all year round. When I arrived in China, I was tired. Because in just half a month, Rist first flew from China to Brazil, then from Brazil to Belgium, and now from Belgium to China. It can be said that the whole earth has been turned. Rist's body was tired even if he was beaten with iron.
"Rist. Where did you run during this time? β
Today is the "Puma Cup" competition. The confrontation between Manchester United and Lazio in the Beijing Workers' Stadium. This game can be said to have received a lot of attention, not only from the start of the game on CCTV5 half an hour before the start of the game, but also the whole stadium was full.
The ticket price is not low. It's more expensive than the matches in Guangzhou and Shanghai. But it's still hard to get a ticket, and there aren't any empty seats. And the important thing is that the advertising space of Gongti has been sold, leaving no gaps. Liu Hongwei grinned and smiled.
"I went to Brazil and brought in two players. I have a football club in Belgium that brings in a couple of Brazilian players. Brazilian players are considered to be the representative of good quality and low price. β
"You still have a club in Belgium?"
Liu Hongwei was a little surprised. He also had an investigation into Lister. But according to the investigation at that time, Rist was the number one agent in the Czech Republic. His main business is the player business, and he has a lot of players under him. But that's about it. But I didn't expect Lister to have a football club.
"Little club. According to the RMB, it cost about 20 million yuan. β
The simpler Rist said, the more surprised Liu Hongwei became. Then thinking of something, Liu Hongwei said to Lister: "Lister, there are several Chinese players who want to transfer abroad recently. Many of them have come to me in the hope that our company can connect with me. But as you know, we don't have a lot of contacts in this area. If it's convenient for you, I'll introduce them to you. β
The tide of staying abroad is really the tide of Chinese players staying abroad. Because of Fan Zhiyi's success in La Liga, Zhang Enhua and Sun Jihai's success in Sunderland, European football has paid great attention to Chinese players. In their opinion, although the strength of Chinese players is not as good as that of European players, their strength is also good, and they can also gain a foothold in Europe. The important thing is that it is cheap, so there are still many clubs that pay attention to Chinese football.
And just last summer, Beijing Guoan's player Yang Chen transferred to Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, and his performance was extremely good, which also made the Bundesliga football begin to pay attention to Chinese players. And seeing the success of other Chinese players in Europe, many young players want to go abroad. It's not just because of other things, it's because the income is completely different.
Just like Fan Zhiyi, his current annual salary after tax at the Extremadura club is already more than five million in RMB. And because of the growth of fame, the advertising revenue is also very high. At present, Fan Zhiyi's annual income is basically between 8 million yuan and 10 million yuan. If Fan Zhiyi was originally a predator in domestic football, then Sun Jihai is different.
Sun Jihai is only in his early twenties now. But the income has completely exceeded those domestic football stars. Of course, this makes many Chinese players red, so there are many players who want to stay abroad.
"Mr. Liu, since this is your business, I won't rob it. As for introducing some clubs, I can still do it, as long as you don't have a problem here, I think I can too. But you have to tell them not to be ambitious, Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai have all started to play in the second league. Don't think about going straight to the top flight. If you can also consider the Dutch league, the French league, the Belgian league, the Czech league, these leagues are all things to consider. β
Liu Hongwei's AutoNavi company is a local Chinese company, and they are more convenient than Rist in many ways. Rist was also unwilling to grab food with Liu Hongwei for that small commission. How much profit can be made from selling Chinese players, for the current Lister, that money is no longer in his eyes. Rist also has to cooperate with AutoNavi all the time. It's not bad to give up some profits.
And Rist said it so beautifully. In the future, when the player transfers, it is impossible for AutoNavi to leave Lister for a while. The words are beautiful, but it is impossible for Zuihou to swallow those commissions directly by one person.
"Yes, Haode."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Figured it out?"
The Puma Cup competition was exciting. After all, it is a commercial match, and a friendly match is of the same nature. Although there are bonuses. And the bonus is not low. But for Manchester United and Lazio, it was still a friendly game. So the game was played very openly. You go back and forth with each other, so that the fans are addicted.
It wasn't the treble winners Manchester United who won Zuihou, it was probably the treble that drained them. The two sides played offensive football. In the end, Lazio won 3-2 against Manchester United.
However, the outcome of the game has nothing to do with Lister, and Rist doesn't care at all. With this business match, Rist can be regarded as knowing Kenyon and Ferguson, although the relationship is average, but it can be regarded as acquaintance. And more importantly, Lister met Jason. Alex Ferguson, who has a good relationship with him. The two also had some exchanges and reached some consensus, which is a very big progress.
Now that the game is over, Rist wants to know how much profit the commercial race will make. Rist can see that the income from this business competition is definitely not low.
"There are no detailed results yet, but this time we were very successful."
Liu Hongwei said excitedly to Lister. Of course, he had reason to be excited, because from the preliminary calculations, the profit exceeded 100 million. This is still to give the revenue share of those tickets to the stadium, as well as to the local government to pay for the protection fee (that is, the police force to help is paid), and there will be 100 million left after these things are given.
Of course, there is still a tax on this money, but even if you pay taxes, you will have a very considerable income. At this time, Liu Hongwei's Gaode company's strength can grow exponentially.
"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me how much income you can make?"
Rist looked at the excited Liu Hongwei and said. Rist really wanted to know how much profit could be made in such a business competition. Rister is also a running up and down, having established a connection with Manchester United and now wants to know how much he earns.
"I'll give you a rough calculation, you should be able to earn more than two million dollars this time."
"Two million dollars, two million dollars."
Rist kept saying this, and was very surprised in his heart. It's no wonder that many big agents in Europe like to do this kind of thing, because the income of this kind of commercial competition is too high. Rist knew that he had more than two million dollars, so AutoNavi could get nearly five million dollars.
"Rist, this is the preliminary calculation. Or if I go down, maybe three million dollars. β
"Good. Then I'll wait for the money. β
Don't look at Rist so bold, in fact, there are also Rist's people in this calculation. Although Rist always trusts Liu Hongwei when he talks about it, Rist is not a saint. There is so much investment in this, how can Lister rest assured that he only let Liu Hongwei calculate.
Therefore, Rist also has his own people to review the profits this time. Both parties invested together, so both parties are jointly reviewing the revenue and profit this time. (To be continued......)
