Chapter 359: Scared you to death

　　 "Hello, Mr. Levi!"
　　
　　 "Thank you for your reception, Mr. Yang Huan!"
　　
　　At the Royal Wharf in Southampton, Yang Huan met Daniel Levy and his party traveling south from Tottenham Hotspur.
　　
　　 The CEO of Tottenham went south this time not only to supervise the battle, but also to visit the new stadium project in Southampton.
　　
　　 After failing to compete with West Ham for the London Bowl, Tottenham Hotspur decided to spend 400 million pounds to build a new stadium in North London. The selected partner was Foster + Partners.
　　
　　 Now, this firm belongs to Yang Huan.
　　
　　 So, when Tottenham Hotspur found Norman Foster and expressed the hope to visit the new stadium project in Southampton, Yang Huan naturally agreed without hesitation and met him in person.
　　
　　 Two projects in Southampton are both in full swing.
　　
　　 Standing in the Royal Wharf and looking out, it was a scene of enthusiasm.
　　
　　The artificial island has a rough shape, and it seems that the amount of engineering is very large.
　　
　　 "Mr. Yang Huan, it is not easy to persuade the citizens of Southampton to agree to the construction of this project!"
　　
　　 Levi said this very touchingly.
　　
　　 The community where Tottenham Hotspur is located is not very safe, and the spending power and transportation of fans are not very convenient.
　　
　　 Tottenham have long thought of leaving, just like Arsenal, moving to a place closer to the city of London.
　　
　　 As a result, Fan One, the plan was forced to die.
　　
　　 The biggest problem facing Southampton’s new stadium is undoubtedly the issue of environmental protection.
　　
　　 But as it is said that there are people in the DPRK who are easy to handle, this question depends on who is right.
　　
　　 "The Northumberland development plan that you put forward this time is also very vast, and coupled with the support of the City of London government and the community, it is not easy!"
　　
　　 Levi shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighed deeply, "Always not as popular as the rich team!"
　　
　　 This is the truth!
　　
　　 Arsenal want to build a new stadium, all parties have given strong support and even allowed them to leave Highbury Stadium and choose a new location.
　　
　　 After all, isn’t it because the Gunners are a wealthy team?
　　
　　 "Tottenham Hotspur has achieved quite good results in recent years. If you stick to it for two or three years, the top four will be expected!" Yang Huan encouraged with a smile.
　　
　　 I don’t know, Levi sighed deeply again, his brows looked helpless.
　　
　　 "We're afraid we can't make it anymore!"
　　
　　 "What's the matter?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.
　　
Levi was not afraid to confess, "We started to increase investment in 2008 and 2009, but in the past few years, the finances have been declining. Players' salaries have soared from more than 60 million in the past to 100 million. More than ten million, nearly doubled."
　　
　　 "Now, players such as Gareth Bale are asking for salary increases, and the team's financial pressure is very heavy."
　　
Tottenham Hotspur’s CEO’s management ability is well-known in the Premier League and even in European football, and he holds a quarter of Tottenham Hotspur’s shares and is considered a shareholder of the team. Wholeheartedly hope that Tottenham will develop.
　　
　　 "The subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis hit, and commercial income has plummeted. Fortunately, the Premier League broadcast fee has soared. But our fiscal revenue is actually the same as it was in 2008!"
　　
　　On the one hand, revenue is flat, and on the other hand, the share of broadcast fees has soared. This proves that Tottenham Hotspur’s business operations have not grown in the past few years, but have been shrinking.
　　
　　Even, if you take into account European stadium revenue and player transfer profits, commercial revenue is greatly reduced!
　　
　　 "We have an estimated debt of 30-40 million pounds this season!"
　　
　　 Yang Huan was a little surprised when he heard this.
　　
　　 Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have always been the healthiest teams in the Premier League. If even Tottenham are like this, then the situation of other teams can be imagined.
　　
　　 "Many fans think that professional leagues are played by players and coaches. They don't know that professional leagues play capital. Players and coaches are just a part of the team's many resources, not even the decisive part."
　　
　　Daniel Levi said very emotionally.
　　
　　 Yang Huan felt the same way.
　　
　　 Before he became the team owner, he was just an ordinary fan. He felt that by introducing the best stars, the best head coach, and building the best team, he would win the championship.
　　
　　 But in fact it is not that simple.
　　
　　 Since a season is nine months long, the transfer period is one year.
　　
　　 Without sufficient resources, no team can last a year without the backing of a strong capital.
　　
　　 So look at Arsenal, the cash on the book is more than 100 million pounds, but this is normal in the professional league!
　　
　　The cash on Southampton's book is less than 100 million pounds, so Nicolas Cortes would have to go to Yang Huan and yell at him for a long time, and then try a blood transfusion.
　　
"If a mid-range team wants to challenge a giant team, it must either have funds like you or the Abu Dhabi consortium, and make a long-term investment and persist until the team enters a virtuous circle, or they must learn from Arsenal! "
　　
　　 Arsenal's approach is to maintain the top four every season.
　　
　　 Looks very useless, right?
　　
　　 Yang Huan also often teases Wenger.
　　
　　 But this is the strategy of building walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king after learning the trick of Zhu Yuanzhang, the old zu sect.
　　
　　 If you don’t believe it, look at the Bundesliga and La Liga.
　　
　　Why no team can compete with Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid for a long time?
　　
　　 The Bundesliga has always been Bayern's world, Dortmund, Werder Bremen and other teams have robbed Bayern in the limelight, but it is difficult to last.
　　
　　 In recent years, Dortmund has made a comeback and beat Bayern to death, but how long can they persist?
　　
　　 La Coruña, Valencia, Real Sociedad, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid have also played teams in La Coruña, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid. They intend to challenge the Western Premier duo, but which one of them is not a flash in the pan?
　　
　　 Here is another simple example, Inter Milan.
　　
　　 Moratti suddenly hit a lot of chicken blood. After years of vertical and horizontal Serie A, he wanted to try the Champions League. He invited Mourinho, brought in a number of talented players, and won a triple crown. But the result?
　　
　　 After the Triple Crown, Inter Milan couldn't hold it anymore. He vented like a bet, and I don't know when it will come back!
　　
　　If the professional football world really has the legendary background.
　　
　　Naxiong hòu's resources are the foundation of a club!
　　
　　Yang Huan nodded and praised: "That's right, so a team, assets are very important!"
　　
　　 Levi smiled and nodded, "Well, Mr. Yang Huan really doesn't like what the outside world said, he doesn't understand the ball at all!"
　　
　　 Yang Huan couldn't help but smile.
　　
　　 I didn’t understand before, but to be a boss, I must learn to understand these things.
　　
　　 There are many assets of the team, the most obvious is the stadium and training base.
　　
　　 The three major incomes of the team are broadcast fees, game day income and business income.
　　
　　 Broadcasting fees are not controlled by the team. Commercial income depends on operational capabilities, but it is also related to the market environment. Game day income depends on the stadium, which is the most stable basic income.
　　
　　 St. Mary’s Stadium has a capacity of more than 30,000 and Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium has a capacity of 60,000. Coupled with Arsenal’s ticket prices, the Gunners can earn tens of millions of pounds more than Southampton in ticket revenue a year.
　　
　　 If you include the rentals of shops, restaurants, etc., at least over 100 million pounds.
　　
　　On this income, no matter how good your Southampton grades are, can you catch up with others?
　　
　　 You are playing an arms race with others, don’t you light up the lights in the toilet, and look for death?
　　
　　 Therefore, the stadium is very, very important!
　　
　　 Yang Huan has been preparing a new stadium since the first day of acquiring the team.
　　
　　 Tottenham Hotspur has a financial deficit now, so you can tighten your belt and build a new stadium!
　　
　　 It has been built, and there is still hope. If it is not built, we can only wait for death!
　　
　　Furthermore, Yang Huan gradually tasted the meaning of Daniel Levy's words.
　　
　　 It seems that there are no items for sale in Tottenham Hotspur!
　　
　　 This guy said so much to himself on purpose, and the subtext is also saying, little brother, the stars in our team are good and cheap, who do you like, brother, I will sell it to you, the price is fair, childish!
　　
　　Who makes me financially problematic?
　　
　　 Not for sale?
　　
　　 Even if you win the Champions League next season, your finances can't pass UEFA's approval!
　　
　　 As for Southampton, hey, no trouble.
　　
　　The reason is simple. The money invested in the training base and the new stadium can offset the debt.
　　
　　 Therefore, Southampton is still very rich, and it is no problem to introduce Messi.
　　
　　 The budget for a stadium is 700 million pounds. Isn’t it easy to toss Messi?
　　
　　 "Mr. Yang Huan, I heard that you have signed a cooperation agreement with the Australian Real Estate Group?"
　　
　　The Australian Real Estate Group is the world's largest listed retail property group, with more than 100 high-end shopping malls worldwide.
　　
　　 Among them, the largest shopping mall in Europe at the exit of the London Olympic Village subway is owned by them. It costs 1.5 billion pounds, but its annual turnover is as high as 1 billion pounds.
　　
　　 "Yes, they have become our retail partners and will operate Southampton's largest shopping mall, including luxury shopping malls, on the first floor of our new stadium in the future!"
　　
　　The new stadium in Southampton is the nine-clawed golden dragon, and the main island is surrounded by nine small islands.
　　
　　 At present, the nine islands have all signed lease agreements. For example, Apple decided to operate the first Southampton store here, and Adidas and Nike will also establish Southampton’s largest flagship store here.
　　
　　 The main island is divided into two floors. The ground floor is in the shape of a five-pointed star, and the stadium is built on this five-pointed star.
　　
　　Australian Real Estate intends to operate a high-end shopping mall on the ground floor.
　　
　　 "Mr. Yang Huan, can you tell me the details of the cooperation?"
　　
　　 Yang Huan smiled slightly, this is no secret, the media will know it sooner or later.
　　
　　 "One hundred million pounds, five years!"
　　
　　Daniel Levy opened his eyes wide, and let out a dumbfounded exclamation, "Oh my God!"
　　
　　 20 million pounds a year?
　　
　　 Yang Huan smiled slightly, "Have you seen the nine islands?"
　　
　　 "Hmm!" Daniel Levy nodded.
　　
　　 "Two million pounds for an island, signed for five years at a time!"
　　
　　 "Two million?" Daniel Levy was dumbfounded.
　　
　　 Nine islands, that is 18 million pounds!
　　
　　 Good deed, not much else, just for the rent of these two areas, it is nearly 40 million pounds a year.
　　
　　 and there are restaurants in the stadium.
　　
　　 Yes, I heard that the restaurant partner of Southampton’s new stadium has also been found, specializing in the supply of private boxes and the wealthy second-generation members of Southampton, with a rent of 20 million pounds a year.
　　
　　 There are also ordinary restaurants, KFC, McDonald’s, etc., which will definitely enter.
　　
　　 After all, the rental income of this new Southampton stadium alone is 70 to 80 million pounds.
　　
　　 Wait, he said just now that he signed for five years at a time.
　　
　　 That is to say, Southampton wants to build this new stadium, before construction has started, just signing these lease contracts, can get two or three billion pounds of funds.
　　
　　 That's two to three billion!
　　
　　 Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium budget is 400 million when it comes to full play!
　　
　　 Until now, his eyes are still blackened, and he doesn't know where to go to raise money!
　　
　　Korean people, just move their mouths, two or three hundred million will be done!
　　
　　Comparing people to people, it can definitely be annoying!
　　
　　 Yang Huan looked at Daniel Levy's crying expression, and couldn't help but laugh.
　　
what is this?
　　
　　 If compared with that group of empty-glove white wolves real estate agents in Zu country~EbookFREE.me~ I'm a fart!
　　
　　Furthermore, the Duke of Westminster has done no less in this, and he is still thinking about a bigger piece of cake!
　　
Among other things, the Southampton City Government supports 10 million pounds, the British government supports 25 million pounds, and the Southampton Community Council supports 5 million pounds, Southampton received 40 million pounds from the government. Payments in pounds sterling.
　　
　　The reason is, nothing else. Once these projects are completed, they will provide thousands of jobs for Southampton. They will also bring the government a lot of fiscal revenue every year, and even drive Southampton’s economy and tourism.
　　
　　 Moreover, the two major projects in Southampton have been integrated with the city government's old city reconstruction project, and the government naturally has to give some support.
　　
　　 Next, Southampton considers naming the stadium for investment.
　　
　　 is expected to earn at least 20 million pounds a year in naming fees.
　　
　　 At that time, who would dare to say that our great saints are not local tyrants?
　　
　　 Looking at Daniel Levy's startled and sad look again, Yang Huan couldn't help but laugh.
　　
　　 I really want to tell you all, don’t you scare you to death?
　　
　　 However, Yang Huan remembered one thing when he mentioned the poor and sour!
