Chapter 656 You Can Make Money With Your Eyes Closed!

"Master Huan, is it too extravagant to bring in a midfield substitute for 2000 million euros?"

After sending away Joorabchian and Giuliano Bertolucci, Ron Gurley reminded with a wry smile.

According to the requirements put forward by these two agents, Oscar's salary requirements are not high, with a weekly salary of [-] pounds, which is only in the middle of Southampton, not high for a player who has performed in the Premier League and European competitions.

But the problem is that what Southampton now wants is a midfield substitute. The price of 2000 million euros is a bit high!

Pini Zahavi remained silent. After all, he introduced the person, so he couldn't say much.

But after listening to Ron Gourley's words, he obviously felt a little too high.

Of course, if Master Huan's high requirements are always followed, let alone 2000 million, even if it is doubled, he thinks it is acceptable. Who made him fall in love with it?

As the saying goes, a thousand dollars can't buy a good heart, that's the truth!

After listening to Ron Gurley's words, Yang Huan smiled lightly, shook his head, and did not speak or explain.

Peter Kenyon laughed, "Ron, you, you didn't see what Master Huan saw!"

"What?" Ron Gurley demanded.

Peter Kenyon glanced at Yang Huan and saw that he was always smiling, so he laughed too.

"If I'm not wrong, Master Huan pays more attention to the cooperation with Bertolucci. He plans to implement our data training system and further promote our scouting network!"

When Ron Gurley and Pini Zahavi said this, they really wanted to understand.

Yang Huan laughed directly, "Sure enough, you, the bald head, know me better!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.

Peter Kenyon smiled wryly, depressed, I am bald, but when did I become bald?
Also, what is a bald head?Can I eat it?
"South American football is a treasure land. In the past few years, with the development of Internet technology and technological progress, advanced technology has entered the football circle. This has become an unstoppable trend, and data-based training is only a part of it!"

"For a long time in the past, Brazil gave people the feeling of being poor, backward, chaotic and disorderly, so the stars cultivated were all from poor backgrounds, and all the football clubs were poor. If you throw hundreds of thousands or millions in the past, you can directly make people kneel and lick!"

Peter Kenyon and Pini Zahavi looked at each other, secretly amused.

This young master Huan is too exaggerated, right?

But I have to admit that if we go back five or ten years, Brazilian football is indeed such an image.

"But you must know that in the past few years, Brazil's domestic economy has developed rapidly, and it is known as the BRICs. This is not a false name. The economic development has driven the development of the domestic pillar football industry. The development momentum of Brazilian football clubs is also quite rapid, and the value of players is also rising steadily."

Indeed, from an average point of view, the export value of Brazilian players is indeed increasing year by year.

Another point is that the operating conditions of domestic clubs in Brazil have improved considerably compared to before, especially for domestic giants such as Sao Paulo, Santos, Cruzeiro, and Corinthians.

Under such circumstances, the desire to further upgrade the Brazilian football industry is undoubtedly very strong, especially in terms of scouting, youth training and player training, because the Brazilian football industry is mainly concentrated in this area.

According to the industry chain, Brazilian football should be at the low end, while Europe is at the top.

Southampton's current technology and equipment in these fields undoubtedly have considerable advantages.

In other words, according to the cooperation model with Cesarini, Southampton will provide technology and equipment, and cooperate with domestic clubs and football schools in Brazil. This is entirely possible to become a reality.

As the so-called third-rate companies sell products, second-rate companies sell brands, and first-rate companies sell standards.

If Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Africa, and even many middle and lower leagues and teams in Europe are still in the stage of selling products, then teams including Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, and even Real Madrid and Barcelona are all selling brands because they are giants!
Southampton is undoubtedly in the stage of selling brands!

But if Yang Huan is really allowed to promote the data training system on a large scale through this cooperation model, then Southampton will have the most complete player database in the world.

At that time, let alone selecting players for Southampton, Atletico Madrid and other teams, you can even make money by selling data to other teams!
Then Yang Huan and his football empire will also stand out from the ranks of second-rate selling brands and enter the ranks of selling standard brands!
At that time, there will be two major tournaments, the International Champions Cup and the UEFA Youth League, and the world's largest player database, and then there will be teams such as Southampton, Atletico Madrid, Monaco and Tottenham Hotspur.

Just imagine, if it really develops into that kind of situation, who else can stop Yang Huan in this three-acre field of world football?
Peter Kenyon, Pini Zahavi, and Ron Gurley were all smart people. They could easily guess what Master Huan was thinking, and they could vaguely see the future development prospects. They all became excited immediately.

If you really want to do this, no matter if it is a football club, a player, or even an agent, you have to rely on the huge player database in the hands of Master Huan to live!
Thinking about it again, Young Master Huan strongly supported England's Glorious Revolution youth training reform plan before, asking money for money, equipment for equipment, and training for free. It seems like a big loss, but in reality?

Now that the household registration book is so valuable, if you can grasp all the data and players of England from the Glorious Revolution, to the national team, to the youth team at the lowest age, what an amazing treasure trove it would be?
"Our income this year is quite good, especially for participating in the Champions League. The bonuses we receive from UEFA alone are already quite generous. Therefore, I plan to improve the treatment and salary of the players and employees in the team!"

Yang Huan feels that as a football club, the most valuable thing is talent.

Therefore, how to retain the players and employees in the team as much as possible will be the most important strategy for Southampton in the future.

And what he wants to do now is to do his best to create a sense of belonging for the players, build them and the club into a community of destiny, and then stimulate them to perform better on the court and on the training ground.

There is no doubt that salary treatment is a very important part!
Peter Kenyon also agrees with this, "I checked, and the total amount in the Premier League and Champions League prize pool this season is as high as 170 million euros. According to the distribution method, half of it will be taken out and divided according to the league ranking last season. The league champion can get 40.00%."

Having said that, Peter Kenyon smiled, "That is to say, we can get about 400 million euros from it, and the remaining half is divided according to the results of the Champions League. Even if we lose all six games in the group stage, we can get more than 600 million euros."

"Also, the appearance fee for the Champions League group stage is nearly 900 million euros, the winning bonus is 100 million euros, and the tie is 50 euros. In this way, we can earn at least more than 3000 million euros from the Champions League!"

"So much?" Pini Zahavi was a little surprised.

More than 3000 million, this is still the income of Southampton losing all the group matches. If they win a few games, or stand out from the group stage, the income will be even higher.

Peter Kenyon nodded and smiled, "Yes, because we are the league champions!"

According to UEFA's rules, half of the prize money in the prize pool is given to participating teams according to their league rankings. There are four teams participating in the Premier League, and the ratios are 40.00%, [-]%, [-], and [-] respectively.

In other words, Arsenal, which ranked fourth in the league last season, could only get more than 300 million euros from it.

If there are three teams participating, the ratios are 35, 25 and [-].

In addition, England's bonus pool is also quite high, reaching 170 million euros, second only to Italy's 8000 million euros that just signed a new contract, Spain's 730 million euros, and France's 770 million euros.

As the largest economy in Europe, Germany's bonus pool is only 5000 to 29 million euros.

With this in mind, Yang Huan's future football map is already very clear.

From the point of view of the bonus pool and allocation of places, Serie A teams are the most popular, because the three teams share the 8000 million euros. As long as each team enters the Champions League, no matter how poor their results are, they can earn a lot of money.

Take Juventus and Naples as an example, even if they do not qualify, they can still get a bonus pool share of more than 3000 million and 500 million. If UEFA bonuses are included, it will exceed 4000 million and 3000 million euros every minute.

Given the current predicament of the Serie A league, this sum of money is simply a huge sum of money!
Therefore, to a certain extent, the worse the performance of the teams in France, Italy, Spain, Germany and England in the Champions League, the better it is for the teams participating in the Champions League. It is best for three teams to participate.

In the UEFA Champions League prize pool, apart from Italy, England, Spain, France and Germany, the prize pools of other European countries are pitifully small. For example, Portugal has less than 700 million euros. The fixed income is too poor, and there are so many participating teams. They can only rely on their performance to make money. Unlike the previous five countries, as long as they get into the UEFA Champions League, they can make money with their eyes closed!
The only countries with more than 1000 million people are Russia, Greece and Denmark. The Netherlands is close, with 960 million euros. However, the Netherlands has fewer participating teams, so the benefits shared by the teams are also considerable.

Pini Zahavi didn't know much about the operation of the Champions League club, and now he was stunned when he heard Peter Kenyon say so hastily.

It turns out that whether you participate in the Champions League or not has such a big relationship!

Moreover, he did not expect that the revenue of the teams in the five major leagues was so much lower than that of other leagues in terms of income from the Champions League.

The gap is simply too big to make people desperate!
In order to surpass these five countries in the prize pool, in addition to surpassing them in the domestic economy, there must be someone willing to spend on football, prompting TV broadcasters to be willing to pay high broadcast fees for this.

But the gap is so big, I am afraid that it is almost impossible to catch up.

In this case, the teams in the five major leagues will become more and more valuable.

Because of this, Yang Huan is also very interested in the Serie A team. He has already asked Kesh Harris to help find and contact him. As long as the time is right, the price is right, and the team meets his requirements in all aspects, then he does not mind adding another team.

Anyway, as long as he can get into the Champions League steadily, he will be satisfied!
