Football giants

Chapter 414

"Anyone want to organize the International Champions Cup?"

Upon hearing the news, Stephen Ross and Matt Higgins couldn't help but look at each other, both dumbfounded.

The huge plan that I was starting to brew was actually snatched by someone?
"Who the hell?" Stephen Ross looked sullen.

Damn, isn't this too unkind?

He rushed out halfway to cut off the beard?

Simply maddening!

Matt Higgins remembered something else.

It is true that the US market is a big piece of cake, and it is not surprising that other competitors will be eyeing this piece of cake.

But the question is, who has such a strong strength?
If you want to set up such an event, it doesn't mean that you can do it if you have money.

This requires a wide network of contacts in the football circle!
Otherwise, those giant teams, who listens to you?

Charlie Stillitano sighed deeply with a helpless and distressed expression on his face.

"I received news that this time the host of the International Champions Cup is a company called Miracle Media."

"Miracle Media?" Matt Higgins frowned.

Never heard of it!
"In the past year, they have acquired Swiss Infront and IMG successively!"

At this moment, Matt Higgins was dumbfounded, "It turned out to be them!"

Even American real estate tycoon Stephen Ross couldn't help being a little moved.

Although he was not in that circle, he had heard about it to some extent.

Both of these two companies have a decisive influence in the field of sports. Switzerland Infront has an extraordinary relationship with FIFA and the International Olympic Committee, and IMG can almost be said to be the leader in the fields of sports and entertainment.

Unexpectedly, such two companies were acquired by the same company.

Just for this point, Stephen Ross felt ashamed.

"What is the origin of this company?" Matt Higgins asked curiously.

"Do you know Uncle Psy and Lin Yuner?" Charlie Stillitano asked back.

Stephen Rose nodded.

"The popularity of these two stars is driven by Miracle Media. It is said that in the past two years, relying on these two superstars, Miracle Media has earned at least [-] million dollars in the world!"

Speaking of this, Charlie Stillitano couldn't help but be full of wonder.

It is quite rare to be able to make a superstar famous, but Miracle Media has made two famous.

Moreover, they also made a lot of money from these two superstars.

It can be seen that the company's ability to operate.

"Charlie, even if that's the case, they don't have the ability to acquire these two major companies!" Stephen Ross felt something was wrong.

Charlie Stillitano smiled bitterly, "Of course, but behind Miracle Media is WeChat!"

WeChat?

Stephen Ross and Matt Higgins are moved again!

They are so familiar with this mobile APP, and use it almost every day!
But they never thought that WeChat would be involved in football.

Wait, I seem to have heard that the owner of WeChat company is the owner of a football club, it seems...

"That's right, behind WeChat is the boss of Southampton, Yang Huan!"

Now all the mysteries are solved!
But what was left to the three present was shock!
There is no other reason, Yang Huan and his WeChat have been really popular in the past two years!

Stephen Ross and Matt Higgins formed RSE, a venture capital firm, and naturally heard something.

Today's venture capital most wants to invest in WeChat and its subsidiaries.

The conservative assessment of the market value of WeChat has exceeded 500 billion US dollars, and the industry generally believes that once this world-renowned company goes public, its market value will exceed [-] billion US dollars.

But this is just the WeChat company.

Its WeChat game company is also very optimistic about the outside world, especially in the past two years, it has developed rapidly in the game field, and has become the most profitable and successful game developer on the smart mobile platform, with a valuation of more than 50 billion US dollars.

Not to mention the disappearance after reading, once this app was launched, it caused a frenzy on the Internet almost all over the world, and even began to shake the status of Facebook, which even offered a cash acquisition of 30 billion US dollars.

That's 30 billion, not Zimbabwean dollars, but US dollars!
Stephen Rose felt dumbfounded when he thought about it, but Yang Huan rejected the offer without any hesitation.

When the reporter asked the reason, the spokesperson of the company said something very rich and powerful.

"We are not short of money!"

What's interesting is that the idea of ​​this app comes from Yang Huan, and the purpose is simply...to pick up girls.

This has already become a good story among netizens and media reporters all over the world!

In addition, there are many popular applications such as Wrapp and Tinder, which have aroused the popularity of many users on the Internet, and their valuations are more than one billion US dollars.

In addition, there is news that WeChat is far ahead in the two fields of augmented reality technology and virtual reality technology, and will officially launch two smart glasses in [-], making the whole world look forward to it.

And Yang Huan, who is only 22 years old, has also become the world's most prosperous super rich second generation.

Stephen Ross would never have imagined that Yang Huan would come to organize the International Champions Cup instead of working on the Internet!
Isn't this bullying?

After all, I have worked so hard to accumulate my character for many years, organized two North American Invitational Tournaments, and invigorated the American football market. Now, it’s almost the harvest season, but you came here for no reason to reap the fruits of my victory?
So hateful!

Uncle can bear it, but auntie can't bear it!
"I received news that Miracle Media has been preparing to enter the field of operating football matches a year ago, so it has quietly acquired the two major Swiss companies Infront and IMG, and launched the International Champions Cup and the European Youth Champions League."

Charlie Stillitano had to admit that at least in the field of football, they were not as familiar with Yang Huan and others.

They are engaged in professional football, so they are people in the inner circle, so they naturally know each other well.

"Leaving aside the International Champions Cup, let's talk about the UEFA Youth League. They have been authorized by UEFA and FIFA successively, and the conditions offered to European teams are also very generous. Food, lodging and transportation expenses are free, and there are extra generous bonuses for winning the game. Even Real Madrid and Barcelona can hardly refuse such a temptation!"

Stephen Rose couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he heard this, "Can they make money by doing this?"

Matt Higgins on the side smiled wryly, "Maybe they don't intend to make money in the early stage, but they are just optimistic about this market, so they rushed in first and defeated all potential competitors including us. By then, the entire market will be theirs!"

This is a typical Internet thinking logic!

Stephen Ross snorted coldly when he heard this, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

Being able to sit on the top five real estate tycoons in the United States, his strength and influence should not be underestimated.

"Hmph, do they have the ability to kill us all?"

When Matt Higgins and Charlie Stillitano heard it, they both understood what the boss meant.

"Go, contact the strong teams in Europe, we will give as much as they give, and we will do it wherever they want. I want to give them a head-on blow!"

Just kidding, I have worked so hard to manage the market for so many years, how can I just give it to you for nothing?
Do you really think that you can do whatever you want with your wealth and wealth?

I just want to teach you a lesson and tell you that this is not your China, this is our United States!

Charlie Stillitano nodded and said: "It's not difficult to invite teams. They only invited eight teams in the first session. There are still many European giants. Although they can't invite top teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​other teams should be fine, just..."

"Just what?" Stephen Ross was a little dissatisfied.

Can you stop hemming and hawing when you speak?

Didn't you see me, am I annoyed?
"It's just that they are in a group match, which is different from our competition system, and they have already rented some popular football fields and training grounds in advance. We have to play against them in the same city. Firstly, the time is short, and secondly, I am afraid that we are not prepared enough."

"I don't care about this, you guys have to do it now, you must get this matter done for me!"

Stephen Ross is also on fire.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, this battle hasn't been fought yet, you just admit defeat first!

Could it be any less ambitious?

Charlie Stillitano and Matt Higgins looked at each other again, and they could tell that the boss was losing his temper.

The best option right now is to say nothing.

But this pair of eyes showed worry.

It took a full year of preparations to come up with it, but now that I am facing the enemy and changing my formation, can it work in a hurry to meet the enemy?

Forget it, don't worry about it, anyway, it's not spending your own money, and you don't lose yourself if you lose!
…………

…………

When the three Americans were plotting how to deal with Yang Huan in New York, our young master Huan was sitting leisurely in the Tingyu Pavilion, drinking the fragrant tea brought from China, and looking at the scenery of the Test River in the distance.

Not to mention how happy I am!
Not only him, but Peter Kenyon, who was sitting opposite Master Huan, was also in a great mood.

Just now, Manchester United CEO David Gill personally went south to meet with Sun Yue and Peter Kenyon.

On the one hand, Manchester United and Miracle Media signed an agreement to participate in the International Champions Cup.

For the Red Devils, Yang Huan is still very optimistic, so he didn't make things difficult in this regard, and directly gave Manchester United the treatment of the first-tier team, that is, an appearance fee of 300 million euros per game.

David? Gill is also very knowledgeable, and reciprocated, saying that Manchester United will fully support Southampton to stay in the Premier League.

The implication is that Manchester United doesn't care about the jersey!
Yang Huan is quite satisfied with this harvest.

It's not that he is afraid of Manchester United, but that he feels that harmony makes money.

Football is a special business.

One person can't support a team, and a team can't play a league.

Even if it is as powerful as Barcelona and Real Madrid, if one of the double super teams is missing, the other team will be hit hard.

Because football has always been a team sport.

This is true for competitions, club operations, and league operations!
Therefore, in the face of great interests, we must be informal!

Besides, regarding the International Champions Cup, who will take advantage and who will be taken advantage of, I don't know yet!
Peter Kenyon was also greatly relieved, and he admired Master Huan even more.

I think that when he switched from Manchester United to Chelsea, he was regarded as a traitor by all the Red Devils fans. David? Gill attacked him a lot, and never waited to see him.

This time, David Gill was able to make such a sincere trip to the south from Manchester. Peter Kenyon felt that Bel had face, and he was naturally in a great mood.

The two were drinking fragrant tea on Tingyuxuan, chatting about some things about the team without saying a word.

Until, Yang Huan's cell phone rang.

Take it over and take a look, "Ah, it's our little prince from the Middle East, what's the matter with this guy?"

Yang Huan said with a smile.

Peter Kenyon couldn't help but smile, "Maybe he's here to report the good news!"

"Listen and you'll know!"

After speaking, Yang Huan connected the phone.

　Brazenly begging for monthly and recommended tickets, brothers, vote!
