109. A big misunderstanding

Although Su Yuefei didn't ask the bottom line, she still felt a little unwilling to sit in the car, she was a beauty one in a hundred, wouldn't it be fragrant to go home and eat with a big beauty like her, and she had to eat with other people outside, thinking of this, Su Yuefei had a look of anger on her face, she planned to have dinner outside, so as not to go back and do it again.

"Sister Qian, I don't want to go home to cook and eat, just find a random restaurant outside to deal with it!" ”

"Okay, it's good to eat outside, it's good to change the taste, by the way, Ren Han in your house, or you can call him out, the two of us eat together, and the three of us eat together after calling him, how about it!" Zhao Qian said with a smile as she drove the car.

"Don't worry about him, he just sent me a message, he won't go home for dinner tonight, he has already asked a friend to eat out, let's just treat ourselves!" Su Yuefei said absent-mindedly.

Su Yuefei spoke sullenly, Zhao Qian felt that the two of them must be making trouble again, and shook her head helplessly, Su Yuefei, this girl is hard-mouthed, in the past, her attitude towards Ren Han was like air, and now she is beginning to care about the bits and pieces of his life, saying that Ren Han is okay to eat with other friends outside, but she is still very angry in her heart, afraid that he will fool around with other women.

The vehicle was already about to pass by the Capital Screenwriters Association, and Zhao Qian suddenly proposed:

"Yuefei, on the road outside the Metropolitan Screenwriters Association, a new Argentinian restaurant has opened, I visited that restaurant with a friend last week, and the taste there is not bad, why don't we go in and have a look!" ”

"It's okay, you can eat anywhere, anyway, I don't care, just go to the restaurant you said!" Su Yuefei didn't care which restaurant she went to, she just wanted to relax outside absentmindedly, since Ren Han was eating out with her friends, why didn't she treat herself.

……

Outside the Screenwriters Guild, in the Argentinian restaurant.

"Ren Han, thank you for helping me revise the script, I have a treat today, what do you want to eat, order whatever you want, don't be polite!" Gao Yaming smiled.

"Okay, then you're welcome!" Ren Han took the menu and began to order.

After Ren Han and Gao Yaming ordered, they sat in a secluded corner and waited.

Gao Yaming admired the teenage man next to her, she wrote a few excellent scripts at a young age, and she could also direct and make movies by herself, and at the same time she could find pop songs, she was so jealous that she wanted to break his head open to see what parts were in it, is the memory much larger than that of ordinary people, or is the network speed of his head already exceeding 8G.

Excellent people, there is a specialization in the art industry, and they have made achievements in a certain field that they are good at, they are already rare talents, Ren Han is not like this, he is engaged in the industry, almost all of them can achieve excellence, quality is a must, the most annoying thing is that he is young, just in his twenties, which is difficult for others to achieve.

Putting these aside, Ren Han's appearance is also hardcore, tall and handsome, especially when reviewing the manuscript in the afternoon, that concentrated appearance fascinated Gao Yaming even more, Xiao Xianrou's serious appearance, that is the most handsome.

At just 21 years old, the centre-back partnership of the latter and Fikayo Tomori was Milan's final sprint to the back.

Kalulu has been a big hit for the team this season

"Little Roma" has an annual salary of up to 5 million euros after tax, and the Rossoneri career is likely to end after the contract expires at the end of the season, Milan dares to give up the courage of the current captain, but the transfer fee is only 1 million, and the all-rounder Kalulu with a "child labor contract" is too fragrant. The French youngster's German turnaround price has now soared to 17 million, which will by no means be the peak of his value.

Of course, the Rossoneri are not completely abdicating their responsibility to develop talent for the national team, with Tonali quickly becoming an absolute mainstay after a poor loan spell last season, and 19-year-old Daniel Maldini scoring his first Serie A goal this season.

The two loaned "mature men" have different fates, Bakayoko, who has an annual salary of up to 2.5 million euros after tax, cannot meet the tactical requirements and only gets 493 minutes of playing time; Florenzi, on the other hand, has made a lot of contributions to the team with his conscientious attitude and versatile attributes, and is expected to be bought out for a transfer fee of less than 4.5 million.

"Three generations" scored a crucial goal in the penultimate round

The kindness of the "vultures".

Of course, the Rossoneri can't forget Elliott's real money along the way. In the first three years of taking over, "Anti-aircraft Artillery" injected 540 million euros into Milan, all in the form of equity capital increase. The reason why the huge capital injection is not intuitively felt is that almost half of this money is used to repay the installment transfer fees and external borrowings inherited from the "Wearesorich" era.

After a series of capital operations, Milan's accounts have been cleaned, and as of the end of last season, there were only 125 million euros of financial liabilities on the books. Of this, 41 million was a loan obtained from Unicredit Bank in the early years for the purchase of the headquarters of the Milan House, which will also be repaid with the sale of the Milan House this season; The other $84 million was generated by accounts receivable factoring, which could be offset against the book accounts receivable. In other words, there are almost no financial liabilities on the club's books today.

At this time, compared with Inter and Juventus, whose financial liabilities are as high as 472 million and 400 million euros respectively, Roseneri should really say thank you to the "artillery".

Top 10 statistics of financial liabilities of Serie A clubs

The Rossoneri have continued to pursue a low-cost strategy this season, and the loss is expected to continue to narrow significantly after nearly 50 million euros of Champions League bonuses have been credited. Milan were reported to have made a slight profit in the first half of the season, and Elliott has barely needed to inject money to keep the team running.

Knowing this, it should not be difficult to understand why some investors are willing to line up to bid for Milan and value the club at more than 1 billion euros, which is very different from the situation of the city's rivals at the beginning of last year. Self-financing, no foreign debt, very growth potential and malleable lineup, coupled with the title of the new Serie A champion, the fly in the ointment is that the new stadium is still far away, but this does not prevent the "anti-aircraft artillery" from being full of confidence and waiting for the price to sell, and the four-year salary will end up fruitful.

This win-win situation for shareholders, clubs, and fans is probably the goal of the integration of modern football and Jinyuan Capital.

End

Of course, there are many challenges ahead of Milan. With the improvement of the team's performance, the players will naturally not be willing to be "squeezed", and it is foreseeable that Maldini will face a wave of salary increases and contract extensions. How to adjust the salary structure, how to avoid the loss of core players for free, how to deal with the renewal of the striker, how to strengthen the depth of the squad, next season's Rossoneri is more worth observing.

But in any case, this title has a rather positive role model for Italian football at the moment. The decline in Serie A's revenue is difficult to reverse, and the idea of emphasizing "mature men" and light "beets" in the past is not economical and sustainable in such an environment, and this season's Milan is a successful subversion of the traditional business model of the Serie A giants.

Times have changed, and with a group of veterans, you can't win anything. Where is the Rossoneri Youth Cap? Let's look forward to it together.

It is not easy for Milano to rise in such an environment, and I hope that

Financial health is the guarantee of a virtuous circle of a club, and the "high artillery" has achieved what can be seen in the company's finances, and the capital will only tend to benign assets, which is never doubted! With the return of England's veteran powerhouse Nottingham Forest to the Premier League after a 23-year absence from the top flight, the £170 million Championship promotion play-offs have officially come to an end.

Prior to this, Fulham and Bournemouth, who were first and second in the Championship, had automatically qualified for promotion. Fulham's return means there will be as many as seven London clubs in the Premier League next season.

In Europe, only Moscow in its heyday can rival it (there are seven teams competing in the top flight at the same time). Of course, there are also small countries with relatively uneven distribution of resources, such as Armenia, a former member of the Soviet Union, whose top league still has 60% of its teams from the capital Yerevan.

In terms of competitive quality, even Moscow in its heyday cannot be compared to London in the past 15 years. Since 2006, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea have played in the Champions League final (twice). No other city has produced three teams that have reached the main leg of the Champions League, let alone the final.

Never after nearly a century has London football been so strong on the pitch as it is today.

Modern football originated in the north-central part of England and grew up almost in the footsteps of industrialization. For example, the world's first football club was played in Sheffield, an industrial powerhouse in Yorkshire.

Football clubs have become the symbol of almost every industrial city in the UK. In 1892, all 28 English professional clubs were either in the north or in the centre. Like rugby, football is a veritable sport in the north of England. Until 1900, there was not a single London team in the top flight.

But that changed after the Second World War, when traditional heavy industry in the north of England declined and the football landscape began to tilt southward: since the early 70s, the number of southern teams in England's first two leagues has begun to surpass that of the north. It is not difficult to explain the reason: the South is richer than the North. The cruel rule of professional football is that money is almost everything.

In fact, the phenomenon of economic fundamentals dictating stadium performance is by no means unique to the Premier League. The other four major European league champions – Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and AC Milan – are home to Paris, Madrid, Munich and Milan – among the most economically developed cities in Europe.

Unlike these four cities, London is the financial center of Europe, but its football clubs have long lacked sufficient competitiveness in terms of financial reserves. In 1997, when Deloitte first released the World Football Club Wealth Rankings, only Chelsea barely managed to make it into the top 10 – it is worth mentioning that Chelsea did not even have their own stadium at the time, and the ownership of Stamford Bridge was mortgaged to a third party by owner Ken Bates.

Chelsea and Arsenal of that period were almost the epitome of boring London. At the time, overall housing prices in London were still very cheap, and the bars were mostly modest. The CoolBritannia cultural wave is still in its infancy. It was also during this period that Britain began to adjust its industrial structure with "de-industrialization" that has continued to this day.

In the deindustrialised UK, services accounted for 78.4% of total GDP, and most of them were concentrated in London. Why London? Because there is an unwritten rule in the British economy: over time, money will eventually flow to London.

In 2003, when Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich decided to buy a football club in England to transfer safe money, he bought Chelsea in Kensington, west London.

Of course, he didn't choose Chelsea out of sentiment or rational commercial rewards, but simply because Chelsea was closest to his mansion at Eton Place.

In fact, Abu initially set his sights on another London side, Arsenal, but his financial think tank at the time, the Swiss Bank, made a serious mistake – and they got the news that Arsenal would not be sold. This misinformation directly rewrote the history of football in England and even in Europe. The think tank certainly recommended Tottenham, also in north London, but Abou sternly rejected it on the grounds that the highway to Tottenham was worse than Omsk.

With its status as a financial center, London became richer and richer. More and more locals and thousands of tourists are willing to pay a fortune to watch a Premier League match. Advertisements in the London Underground, promotional advertisements for Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham, interspersed with colorful theatrical performance posters, have become a strong cultural output of London's entertainment life. According to statistics, before the start of the new crown, as many as 39.2 million tourists from around the world visited London every year.

One evidence of the demand for London's football market: Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, West Ham, Fulham, Crystal Palace and Brentford have all moved in or are planning to relocate to a larger stadium.

In 2006, Arsenal relocated from the tiny Highbury Stadium to what is now the Emirates Stadium. The move means Arsenal can earn an extra £3 million per matchday; Ten years later, West Ham United in east London took advantage of the London Olympics to move into the 66,000-seat London Bowl, in 2017 Crystal Palace announced the expansion of their Selhurst Stadium to 34,000 seats, and in 2019 another north London team, Tottenham Hotspur, moved into the new White Hart Lane stadium.

Unlike Arsenal's relocation, the new White Hart Lane stadium is a new stadium based on its old location. Currently, it is the highest pitch in Europe by a single club, with a capacity of 17,500 in the South Stand alone, more than the entire stadium capacity of Bournemouth in the Premier League. Incidentally, there is also a microbrewery on the pitch that produces 10,000 pints of fresh beer per minute.
