When it comes to the giant model of the football club in the future, the Chelsea model will undoubtedly be mentioned.

Like Chelsea, Manchester City, Grand Paris, ......, the bosses behind them are Abu and the two super-rich people in the Middle East. Objectively, it has played a very good propaganda effect. Let us know how trenched the Russian oligarchs and the princes of the Middle East are.

But then again, it is still the two in the Middle East who have a better effect, which is equivalent to the disguised promotion of the Middle East Free Trade Port. It has brought good economic benefits.

On the other hand, it's really an excellent business. The valuation of the club has almost all risen by more than ten times.

And with UEFA's new policy that clubs must be financially healthy and self-financed. So at the beginning, you burned money for a few years, and then where can you burn it? On the contrary, the brand has been launched, the world has been promoted, and it has already firmly occupied the position of the giant.

You must know that there are so many pits for wealthy families, and if you grab one, you will have one less, which is also a scarce resource.

Of course, the personal hobbies of those local tyrants are not denied. Should they genuinely love football and play live evolution football?

To tell the truth, Li Yuan doesn't love football very much, and under the long-tested test of the national football team, he has long been out of feelings.

But as a reborn hanger, how can you not know this wealthy model?

The eyeball economy of the Internet, combined with the propaganda model of football giants, is life a perfect match?

Therefore, for Sheffield United to be a second-division team, Li Yuan doesn't care at all. From the point of view of doing business, it is more inexpensive.

The key is to get eyeballs! To bring a huge amount of traffic.

The Premier League also has its own traffic, let alone football. The boss is still an Internet upstart, and it's even more buffed.

To put it mildly, just like Musk later, this club is one of Li Yuan's propaganda tools, a few pages in the PPT, the focus is on Li Yuan himself!

However, Marius and the staff were a little confused. Because they don't have a concept at all, is there still such a way to play with money ability?

At present, the business model of European clubs is still relatively traditional. There are even very traditional stubborn ideas.

For example: Isn't it a football club? Are the teams and fans hi together? What to change? Is it possible to change a flower?

Or: the club's results have never depended on money. It requires courage, hard work, unity, technical and tactical ......

To be sure, these laws cannot be wrong. But times have changed, and the rules of the game have also changed dramatically, and the modern business operation of the wealthy model has become popular.

Therefore, after listening to these words, other people really couldn't understand and didn't understand Li Yuan's brain circuit.

Finally, a director asked, "Li, I'm so sorry, forgive me for my presumptuousness, can you afford so much money?" We are members of the Centennial Club, and the short-term results are not the most important part, of course, we hope that the club can develop in the long run? ”

Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Maybe everyone is still very unfamiliar with me." Let me introduce myself: I am the owner of Parallel Line Technology, a publicly traded company in the United States, and I have a personal net worth of almost $8 billion. ”

"Boom ——!"

All around is joyful and pleasant. It turned out to be such a rich local tyrant, then there would be no problem.

It is no wonder that old Europe is so conservative, most European people do not care about any high-tech upstarts, and few have even heard of parallel line technology.

This is actually one of the reasons for the acquisition.

The computer IT industry is hot in Silicon Valley and Wall Street. The rest of the U.S. is also slowly spreading and gaining a high level of popularity. But other countries and regions are much worse, except for people in high-tech or investment circles, not many people really know about it.

In fact, it was not until around 02 that broadband began to be popularized, and the cost of Internet access suddenly fell to the price of cabbage, which made the Internet popular around the world.

As for the "cat" that is now used on the Internet? The popularity of old Europe is even less than that of Chinese mainland.

Therefore, the publicity in Sheffield United may be particularly effective, and it can radiate to the whole of old Europe and the Commonwealth countries.

Back here, Mallor didn't think that much, as long as they made sure that the club had enough money, then everything would be fine.

Mario hurriedly promised: "Li, the matter of the new stadium and training base will be handed over to me, and I promise that the city council can pass it as soon as possible." ”

Large-scale construction like this could increase local employment, and the city council had no reason to oppose it.

Li Yuan smiled: "Tell them, if they agree, in addition to the club, I promise to invest more than 100 million pounds in Sheffield." Create a new innovation base. ”

Anyway, I have so many companies that need to set up a branch in the UK, where to put it? It can be left in this city

"Also, tell the club, especially all the people in the team, that in order to be a Premier League powerhouse and build a football giant, you definitely need to rebuild and you need to change new blood. I'm not trying to fool anyone here. But Sheffield United is also a club with a human touch, and we will definitely settle everyone and never leave anyone out of work. And as the club's performance improves, it is guaranteed to increase every Rao's income. ”

Laughter and applause rang out, and almost everyone was smiling. Including the two temporary managers, they have already been replaced

But Li Yuan's guarantee here is equivalent to giving a "gold medal for avoiding death". Then you can rest assured, at least there is no risk of unemployment, right?

The two managers immediately assured: "Boss! Rest assured, we've got some guys in the team. After the reinforcement in the winter window, we will strive to rush into the Premier League this season. ”

"Huh. Then I'll have a check ready, don't you save me money? ”

"Hahaha!"

“……”

……

The first time we met, everyone was happy. The whole club is very satisfied with Li Yuan, the new owner.

The most satisfying part, of course, is to throw a big check. Not only did he deposit 10 million pounds in the club's account, but he also directly paid off all the original external debts, which reflected one - trench!

However, Li Yuan's fat sheep style made Huang Jiaojiao a little incomprehensible.

Originally, the eldest sister thought that it was just a man who wanted to buy a big toy? Buying a sports car is no different from buying a football club. It's not a giant like Manchester United and Liverpool, it's nothing more than an inconspicuous League One club.

But after the acquisition, how did it suddenly become a decisive fat sheep? This stinky man spends money indiscriminately, and he can't ...... Learn from Hongu?

So after returning to the hotel, Huang Jiaojiao asked strangely: "Yuanzi, what is the place to make a fortune here?" Why are you so optimistic about this club? ”

"Hey, I love football, believe it or not?"

"Huh? I believe you're a ghost! Huang Jiaojiao scoffed, "You have never been profitable, and you have never liked football......"

"Hey, I just don't like the national football team?"

"That's right! You are not patriotic yet. How can you be generous? ”

"Where can I be generous?"

"Phew! You buy the property rights of the stadium, as well as the land of the training base, and build a new stadium and a training base, it should be hundreds of millions of pounds, right? There are also new players to buy, at least tens of millions. Add to that the money subsidized to the club every year, and hundreds of millions of pounds? According to your nature, if you don't earn back 1 billion, you will invest so much? You're the biggest profiteer! ”

"Haha? Lihua, do you just think of your man? ”

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. I don't know you yet, huh? ”

"Huh."

Huang Jiaojiao definitely can't understand this wealthy model, so Li Yuan won't explain much. And Huang Jiaojiao is also very familiar with her own male nature, and she doesn't believe in any of Li Yuan's laws at all.

However, when the reporter of "The Sun" proposed an exclusive interview, Huang Jiaojiao was still surprised: "Yuanzi, why did a reporter come to interview us?" Hee-hee-hee. Go away and let me get dressed. ”

"It's not nonsense, of course I sent someone to inform them."

"Huh?"

"Don't you want to think about it, if there is a broken club in the secondary league, and no one informs us, how can a newspaper like The Sun make a special trip to interview us?"

"Huh?"

The Sun, a newspaper that should be known as a well-known British newspaper all over the world.

But the so-called "newspaper" is mainly the content of the newspaper's hunting. In terms of circulation, it is undoubtedly one of the largest newspapers in the UK. And it is also one of the most important media. The impact is huge.

When Owen, a reporter from The Sun, appeared, he had obviously checked the information in advance: "Lee, can I call you that?" ”

"Absolutely. It's an honor to meet you. I hope you will be merciful. ”

Owen laughed, "What we like the most is that you give us some great news here." ”

"No problem. So let's get started? ”

“ok！”

“……”

After a few pleasantries, Owen began to ask questions according to the interview outline: "Lee, listen to your parallel line technology, which is very popular in Silicon Valley. And through a NASDAQ listing, you've become a well-known super-billionaire and tech upstart? ”

"That's pretty much it. Computer IT has changed my life. ”

"Computer IT changes lives? That's a good sentence. But we recently heard, you invested in Sheffield United Football Club? Now the owner of this century-old club? ”

"That's true."

"Forgive my presumptuousness, why do you fancy this club? Is there something special that appeals to you? ”

In fact, Owen asked this, and all the questions were the kind that were decent and easy to answer.

Regarding the above questions, Li Yuan can copy the answers casually, such as "love football", "like the city", "return to the fans", "personal hobbies"......

You can answer it any way, and there have been many templates in the past.

However, Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Actually...... It's just something special! The key is - there is fate. ”

"Fate? What do you mean? ”

"Huh. I wanted to buy an English club and wanted it to be the fastest and easiest way to trade, so the agency recommended it to me. ”

"Huh? Is that the reason? Owen was taken aback. What's the matter? Did it become a shopping mall to buy cakes? This is a professional club!

"This is it."

"That'...... Then you don't care at all if it's Sheffield United? Don't care more about the Premier League or League One? ”

"Hehe, of course I don't care."

"Uh......" Owen felt a little confused in his mind, as if he had completely jumped out of the original outline. But suddenly, he was full of excitement, his eyes flashed, isn't this sensational news?

"Lee, I want to ask again - you don't care which club at all? Aren't you afraid of offending Sheffield United fans? ”

"What's so strange about that?" Li Yuan seemed to feel ridiculous, "Since I am already the boss, I will do my best to bring the championship to the club." When you have a championship, isn't that respect for the club and the fans? ”

"Uh......" Owen was dumbfounded. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that...... Right?

"And what about your club's goals?"

"Of course to get promoted to the Premier League as soon as possible. And then there are the championships. ”

"Champions?"

'Isn't that what other clubs are aiming for? The winner of all tournaments can take as much as you can. I'm sure the club and the fans will love it. ”

"Ahem, ahem." Europe almost didn't choke to death. Of course, everyone likes those championships, so you need to be able to get them?

"Alright! Plum. So how are you going to build the team? Is there an up-to-date plan? ”

"The first thing to do is to find a top manager, right?"

"......," Owen nodded. There's certainly nothing wrong with that, "So what standard do you have?" You should know that there are many types of head coaches. For example, heavy defense and counterattack, heavy attack and full defense......"

"Huh. My criteria are also very simple. It would be better to dig up the two master coaches of Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger. If you can't dig it, you must not fall behind in the quarrel. ”

"Huh?" Owen was completely confused, and couldn't figure out Li Yuan's brain circuit for a while.

The first half of the sentence is fine. Today, Manchester United's Alex Ferguson and Arsenal's Arsene Wenger are among the best managers in the world.

But "don't fall behind in terms of quarrels"? How can this sentence be understood separately, but it is inexplicable when connected? The coaching level of the head coach, is there still a quarrel?

"Wait, Lee. Why do you want to be at the level of quarrels? ”

"That's no nonsense." Li Yuan looked at Owen with that kind of "look at idiot" eyes, "Aren't you guys "The Sun"? Don't you know that the lord and Wenger are fighting with each other? If you can't even quarrel, what will you do when you meet Manchester United and Arsenal? ”
