Football giants

Chapter 667
A yellow bus drove slowly by, and Yang Huan stood under the shade of the trees in Milan's Lorenzo Le Tour Square, overlooking a long wall that was covered with various graffiti.

"Master Huan, that's the site of the old World Expo!"

Raiola, who was standing beside Yang Huan, pointed to the old and dilapidated wall opposite, and introduced.

Yang Huan squeezed his chin and nodded, he had already guessed it.

Everyone knows that the [-] World Expo will be held in Milan, but I am afraid that not many people know that Milan has hosted a World Expo before, and that was more than a century ago.

The large open space surrounded by walls in front of Yang Huan was the site of the former World Expo.

This is an irregular trapezoidal land, with a length of about 1000 to 800 meters in the north and more than 350 meters in the south. The vertical distance between the north and the south is about [-] meters. The east is arc-shaped and the west is a pointed triangle.

According to preliminary estimates, the entire land area is about 600 mu.

"Master Huan, don't look at the spacious road here, but the surrounding area is full of traffic and the flow of people is quite large."

After speaking, the fat Italian took the initiative to introduce Master Huan.

"Crossing this road to the east is Letu Station. There are two subway stations in total. About 300 meters to the north is the QTB subway station. There is also a subway station in the northwest, and there are two subway stations in the south. The distance is also within 500 meters. The farthest is the San Siro Stadium station."

When Yang Huan was listening to Raiola's introduction, he kept looking around.

Judging from the subway station and bus station, the traffic here is very convenient, extending in all directions.

From the geographical point of view, 500 meters south of here is San Siro, which is the Meazza Stadium and the racetrack in the mouth of Inter Milan fans, so although it is surrounded by residential areas, the problem is not very big.

After all, with the case of the San Siro Stadium before, the voices against the construction of a new stadium will not be high.

"The surrounding area is an area with considerable development potential in recent years. To the north is Park Park, where a small urban oasis will be built with a shopping center. Opposite Park Park is the new headquarters of LG."

"Crossing the road in the east, walking along the street for about 600 meters to the east, you will arrive at Citylife, a high-end apartment complex designed by Zaha Hadid, and to the north of this community is the landmark Milan Convention and Exhibition Center."

"As for the surrounding area, all the residences of the rich and the middle class live, and all the supporting facilities are quite complete."

Yang Huan can use the map on his mobile phone to look up the information anytime and anywhere, so he has no doubts about the authenticity and reliability of Raiola's words.

What is the value of six or seven hundred acres of land in the center of Milan, where every inch of land is expensive?
"As the Milan World Expo is coming, the Milan City Government and the Lombardy region are considering using this piece of land for development. In addition, some temporary construction land for the new World Expo will also be auctioned to ensure the future development of the area."

Hearing this, Yang Huan shook his head and said, "The new World Expo is farther away from the city center, and taking advantage of the gimmick of the Expo, the value has been inflated. The price/performance ratio is definitely not as high as here, because this is the city center and the transportation is extremely convenient!"

"That's right, Master Huan!" Raiola nodded with a smile, "This piece of land is worth a lot. I have learned that the price of the land alone is more than [-] million. If you add other cleaning costs, I'm afraid it will be [-] million!"

This is also of course.

Regardless of the downturn in Italy’s economy, it’s just an appearance. For the general public, Italy’s spending power is still quite high, especially considering that Milan is still a popular world-class tourist city.

Not to mention that there are quite a few big conglomerates in Italy coveting him, even those local tyrants who are staring at this piece of fat all over the world, which one is not waiting to pounce on him?
Yang Huan had to admit that Raiola was really shrewd enough to grasp Yang Huan's needs right away.

In Yang Huan's view, it is almost impossible to make money in football. If he can avoid losses, or even lose a little less, it is already quite good. Therefore, for Yang Huan, two things are most important to football.

One is the football league that Yang Huan is carefully building, which is to enhance his influence in European and even world football.

The other is to take advantage of the advantages of football clubs to make as much profit as possible outside of professional football.

For example, in Madrid, after acquiring the land of the new stadium through the acquisition of Atlético de Madrid, the Yang Group has naturally acquired the land around the new stadium, and is in full swing to build a commercial city with complete supporting facilities.

Also in Monaco, after Yang Huan acquired the team, he began to build a new stadium, a yacht club, a mansion on the mountainside, and even a hotel and casino in Monaco.

As for Southampton, let alone, the biggest benefit of the old city renovation project was collected by Mr. Huan. He and the Grosvenor Group of the Duke of Westminster were the biggest beneficiaries of the entire Southampton old city renovation project.

By acquiring Tottenham Hotspur before, Yang Huan played very well. By introducing the Qatari consortium, Yang Huan became the second largest shareholder of Tottenham Hotspur with the smallest investment. At the same time, he also got a large piece of fat from the Northumberland renovation project in North London.

In the past few years, Yang Huan has entered European professional football, and the benefits he really wants to obtain have never been in football.

Even, he has invested heavily in several professional teams.

But the team's investment is just a drop in the bucket compared to the benefits he gets off the field.

In today's professional football world, Yang Huan is not the only one who plays like this.

Just like Manchester City, after the Abu Dhabi consortium acquired Manchester City, how many investment projects did they get in Manchester and the UK?

There is also Paris Saint-Germain, after the Qatari consortium acquired the team, how much interest it has gained in Paris and France, especially Al Jazeera, which has almost expanded in the European market at an astonishing speed.

Even someone like Abramovich who came to London to avoid disaster, relying on Chelsea's ID card, he bought a lot of fixed assets in the UK. In recent years, the British economy has begun to recover, and these fixed assets have generally appreciated. Didn't Abramovich also make a lot of money?
Therefore, Raiola's proposal just hit Yang Huan's needs.

The price of this piece of land looks high, but the potential is quite huge.

Yang Huan didn't have much to do. He followed the model of Madrid and Monaco and built a new stadium on this piece of land, as well as hotels, shopping centers, shops, office buildings and other supporting entertainment and consumption facilities.

With the strength of the Yang Group, it is absolutely possible to make this place the first choice for Chinese tourists to spend and shop after they come to Italy.

At that time, even if Yang Huan broke his legs, he could still count money while sitting at home!
"Mino, according to what you said, the value of this piece of land is indeed very high, so there must be many people who want to grab it. How can you be sure that we will be able to get it?" Yang Huan asked with concern, frowning.

Raiola nodded and smiled, "Master Huan, you are indeed right. Since the Milan City Government and the Lombardy Region Government released the news, many investors have been moved by the news, but they are more concerned about the venue of the new World Expo."

"According to the plan of the World Expo Management Committee, the two lands will be bid for at the same time, leasing will not be allowed, and the project must be started within the specified time limit, so many investors are discouraged."

Yang Huan also understood this very well.

Whether it is the site of the new World Expo or the site of the old World Expo, the price is quite astonishing, at least several hundred million euros.

But this is only the land price, and the next project will be built, which will cost several hundred million yuan.

Estimated according to the area of ​​the two large pieces of land, at least over one billion!

And this is just a guarantee. If you want to build a large shopping mall, hotel or something, the investment will be even more amazing.

Let me ask you, in such a sluggish economy and tight money, who else can easily spend such a large sum of money for investment?
So, this piece of meat is fat, but it's not something that anyone can eat casually.

"Master Huan, if you're interested, I can run for you and take the land in the name of either of the two Milan teams. I believe it will be easier. As long as I help you with all aspects of management, I believe the problem will not be big!"

Yang Huan really didn't see that Raiola really enjoyed it in Italy.

To say that the corruption in Italy is second to none in the European Union.

It is said that in the corruption rankings of various countries and regions in the world, Italy is similar to Brazil, Mexico and other countries. That is to say, in this country, many things have special solutions.

"Mino!" Yang Huan smiled and waved his hand.

"Master Huan!" Raiola immediately came over.

"Help me arrange it. I want to meet with the mayor of Milan and the chairman of the Lombardy region."

Raiola knew that Master Huan was moved!
So, the Italian fat man immediately smiled and nodded, "No problem!"

"I will arrange someone to assist in this matter, and you are in charge!" Yang Huan said lightly.

"Okay, I will try my best!" Raiola reassured.

We are all smart people, so we naturally know what's going on.

No matter how you say it, Young Master Huan is also a celebrity in the world. It is certain that he keeps himself clean. Don't expect him to personally participate in this kind of thing. On the contrary, he must have his own way to get rid of himself.

Even if something bad happens in the future, and the Dong Chuang incident happens, it won't implicate Young Master Huan.

Therefore, Raiola's arrangement for Master Huan is not surprising at all.

The meaning of Master Huan is obvious. I will arrange someone to help you. I will take care of your needs. I don't care what method or method you use. I won't ask, because I only want the result!

Raiola knows better than anyone else that the benefits of this matter are quite astonishing, even surpassing the Yang Group's project around the new Atletico Madrid Stadium, so once it is completed, he will definitely be able to win the favor of Young Master Huan.

With Young Master Huan as a person, when it comes to rewards for meritorious deeds, are you afraid that you will lose your share?
Unexpectedly, Yang Huan spoke again just as soon as he had this thought.

"That's right, Mino!"

"Master Huan, what are your orders?"

"Didn't you ask me before, is there any house for sale in Crescent Moon Bay?"

"Well, yes, Master Huan!"

"There isn't one in Crescent Bay, but Hamad and a few people from the Saints Fan Club plan to do a project near the Doha Yacht Marina in Qatar. If you're interested, I'll give you the share."

This project echoes Crescent Moon Bay, but to Yang Huan, he is not very interested, after all, it is still a little small.

"Give it to me?" Raiola was a little shocked.

You can come here for whatever you want!

Raiola knew who Hamad was named by Master Huan.

The son of the Prime Minister of Qatar, you said that this person is interested in the investment project, can it be bad?
"Look back, I'll just find a chance to talk to them!"

After Yang Huan finished speaking, he smiled, patted Raiola on the shoulder, turned around and left without saying anything more.
