Football giants

Chapter 650

On the way back to the hotel after leaving the Royal Palace in Monaco, Yang Huan called Michael Bolingbroke and told him what he had gained in the Royal Palace.

The CEO of Monaco was taken aback when he heard this. He never expected that Master Huan would actually bring three or four sponsorship contracts to Monaco as soon as he stepped out. Together, the annual income would be at least over ten million euros.

For Monaco, whose financial income is increasing slowly, this is already a huge sum of money!
"Michael!" Yang Huan also became serious after finishing talking about business matters.

"Master Huan, what are your orders?" Bolingbroke was also aware of the change in Master Huan's tone.

"I hope you will accompany Prince Albert and others to Paris!"

Michael Bolingbroke listened and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll go get ready right away!"

"You have to remember to unite the majority and isolate the few teams, then we will win!"

The way the French Football League formulates policies is by voting, and since it is a vote, as long as Monaco wins the majority and the French Football League does not add obstacles, then the problem is basically solved.

"In the past year, we have introduced so many French domestic stars, which one of them didn't give a generous transfer fee? Those teams that were poached by us, even if they don't think of us, at least they don't hate us!"

This can also be regarded as Yang Huan's long-standing transfer strategy, that is, harmony makes money, and everyone who has money can make money together.

Take Monaco as an example. After the acquisition was completed, Monaco signed a lot of signings.

But apart from a few foreign players such as Mitrovic, Depay, Verratti, Marquinhos and Navas, players including Digne, Zouma, Mangala, Aurier, Rabiot, Kondogbia, Tovan, Fekir, Benzia and Aubameyang are all from French local teams, or local players.

Moreover, Yang Huan bought these players all in cash.

In this capital-dominated professional football world, people in the circle know how rare cash transactions are, so it is hopeless and disadvantageous for Monaco to buy players, and basically the teams that sell to Monaco are also satisfied.

Not only that, after introducing a large number of players, Monaco also disposed of a group of players at a low price.

During this process, Monaco muddled through many things, and even some players simply let them transfer to a new team directly. Although it brought a lot of losses to Monaco, it fattened other French teams.

Having done so much, if there are teams that really want to hate Monaco, then Yang Huan can only say that it is a mediocrity not to attract envy.

Compared with Monaco's preference for local signings, after Paris Saint-Germain took over the Qatari consortium, all the players who signed up with a lot of money flowed outside France, such as Falcao, Pastore, Thiago Silva, Lucas Moura and Motta, etc., are all stars outside France.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the consortium is also in charge, but Monaco's contribution to French football is far greater than that of Paris Saint-Germain. If there are people who really want to envy and hate, then Paris Saint-Germain should be the first choice.

Of course, Yang Huan didn't want to drag Paris Saint-Germain into trouble, after all, it would only make Monaco more enemies.

He just felt that the image and relationship of Monaco in French football should not be too bad.

"When you come to Paris this time, you must tell the pros and cons. Just tell them that in the next few years, we will invest more than 1000 million in youth training every year. At the same time, we will continue to adhere to the lineup framework dominated by local players. We will not blindly introduce superstars and unscrupulously trigger an arms race. Let them feel at ease!"

In the final analysis, isn't it because Monaco is afraid that Monaco will use its tax advantages to trigger an arms race?

Anyway, Yang Huan didn't intend to do this, so he was happy to make a promise.

"Well, I see, I will prepare well!" Bolingbroke promised.

Yang Huan hung up the phone, but the expression on his face was not at all relaxed.

If Monaco's tax advantage is gone, the impact on his football map will be huge.

Of course, it won't be fatal, but it will add a lot of trouble.

As for the salaries of the players, that's okay, anyway, they are all transferred through the company, and have little to do with the Monaco club.

"It seems that Monaco's edge is too revealing!"

Yang Huan muttered to himself with a wry smile.

what else can we do?

In the new season's three rounds of the league, he won three consecutive victories, occupied the top spot in the league, and made a big splash. Can people not be jealous?
And with the rise of Monaco, the cheese of some teams will definitely be touched, such as Marseille, Lyon, Lille, Saint-Etienne and other teams that are expected to reach the top three in the league and participate in the Champions League.

The competition may have been fierce, but now there is an extra Monaco, how tragic will it become?

Regarding this, Yang Huan had no choice but to smile wryly.

Could it be that, in order not to be hated by others, why not rise up?Not striving for a better ranking?
don't be funny, ok?
While thinking, Yang Huan came to the Fairmont Hotel next to the Monte Carlo Casino.

This is the best and top-notch hotel in Monaco. Although it is only a four-star hotel, the price is not cheap at all.

A very important reason is that it is very convenient and the scenery is very good.

To the east of the hotel is the Mediterranean Sea, and you can enjoy the most beautiful sea scenery in Monaco.

The west side is just next to the F1 track, and beside the swimming pool on the top floor of the hotel, there is even a special stand and sunshade for the residents to enjoy the F1 racing.

Every year in May, the supply of hotels in Monaco is in short supply, and the Fairmont Hotel is undoubtedly the most popular hotel for F1 racing fans.

For Yang Huan, the Fairmont Hotel has another advantage, that is, it is adjacent to the Grimaldi Convention Center.

The draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage is held there every year.

It is very convenient to live in the Fairmont Hotel and walk about 1 meters north on the F500 track.

As soon as Yang Huan returned to the hotel and walked into the lobby, the lobby manager of the hotel greeted him immediately.

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan!"

"Hello, what's the matter?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

"Mr. Platini has arrived just now. He asked me to inform you and wait for you in the restaurant of the hotel!"

Yang Huan nodded, "Okay, I see, thank you!"

After seeing off the lobby manager of the hotel, Yang Huan thought about it, greeted Long Wu, and went straight to the restaurant.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the corner of the restaurant. After seeing him, the short and fat Frenchman smiled and raised his hand towards him.

"Sorry, Michelle, I just went to the Royal Palace of Monaco!" Yang Huan walked over with a smile and offered to apologize.

Platini chuckled, "It's okay, I just arrived too, so I just sit here and enjoy the invincible sea view of Monaco!"

Not to mention, the hottest weather of the year has just passed, but winter has not yet entered, so it is a good opportunity to go to sea.

Therefore, on the sea of ​​Monaco, luxury yachts and luxury cruise ships from afar can be seen everywhere.

Although separated by a layer of curtain wall glass, it is completely conceivable that the sea at this moment must be very lively.

After the two sat down as host and guest, they chatted without saying a word.

Yang Huan intentionally turned the topic to the Ligue [-], so he quickly talked about the French Football League's plan to limit Monaco's tax advantage, directly pros and cons, and talked about Monaco's situation.

After hearing what Yang Huan said, Platini naturally understood what Yang Huan meant.

As the president of UEFA, Platini should not have intervened in the internal affairs of the member states. Even if he did, he should support the decision of the member football associations in principle.

"Master Huan, regarding this matter, I will have a good talk with Noel again, and I will try my best to coordinate!"

Platini readily gave his commitment.

It was rare for Yang Huan to use him, so he naturally wanted to help, otherwise, if he wanted to ask Master Huan for help in the future, wouldn't he be thrown into a wall?

As for the Noel mentioned by Platini, it is the chairman of the French Football Association, Noel Le Graet.

This guy is also a powerful faction of French football. Since the former chairman of the Football Association resigned because of the infighting of the South African World Cup national team, Le Graet has taken over the French Football Association. Platini has also publicly expressed his support. Therefore, the relationship between the two is good.

Yang Huan knew in his heart that if Platini said so, he would definitely do his best. As for whether it can be achieved, it depends on the coordination of all aspects and the distribution of benefits. No one dares to say that it will be achieved.

Therefore, sometimes, we can only do our best and obey the destiny!
"Michelle, let's put aside these troublesome trifles. I have a very important matter and I want to ask you!"

When Yang Huan said this, his expression was very serious.

This surprised Platini a bit, what question is so serious?

"Master Huan, please ask."

Yang Huan smiled slightly, "I believe that the whole world has already heard about the right to host the World Cup in Russia and Qatar in [-] and [-], and you must have heard about it. I want to know, what do you think?"

Platini was taken aback, this problem is very difficult, but it can be big or small.

The point is, why did Yang Huan ask such a question?
The French had no choice but to stare at Yang Huan cautiously, as if trying to find some clues from Yang Huan's eyes.

But unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.

In the end, I could only rely on guesswork, but I couldn't guess why.

"Master Huan, why do you ask that?" Platini looked very cautious.

Yang Huan was still smiling all the time, as if this matter was insignificant to him.

This is not surprising. Although Yang Huan is a football player, he has nothing to do with FIFA, and Blatter can't do anything to him, so he naturally doesn't need to buy Blatter's account.

But Platini is obviously different. As the president of UEFA, Platini was able to be elected to a large extent because of Blatter's support behind him. Without Blatter, he would not have been elected as UEFA president at all.

Some people even said that Blatter was Platini's godfather!

As for Blatter, he is the emperor of FIFA, an organization that transcends the secular regime, and he is also the kind of emperor who speaks for himself!
So, can Platini be careless?
"No other meaning, just want to know what you think about these things in FIFA."

Platini couldn't figure out what Yang Huan wanted to say at all, but he was also an extremely shrewd person, and he could easily grasp a certain stake.

That is, for no reason, Yang Huan suddenly came to Monaco one day earlier, and invited himself to meet him privately. After meeting, he asked such a strange and sensitive question, which was definitely not aimless.

Could it be that he knew some secret?
