Chapter 748 I'm Not Finished Yet!

In the German media circles, the management of Hamburg has been ridiculed like this.

The most common refrain of Hamburg directors, they say, is, "You know it, but don't tell it to anyone."

What a weak and powerless statement!

Does this sound like something a manager of a large institution with total assets of over [-] million should say?
But this is known by almost the entire German media circle, and it is often used as a joke, because it fully exposes the incompetence and timidity of the Hamburg directors.

But this kind of creature is very strange. The more incompetent and timid a person is, the more eager he is to control everything in the one-third of an acre of land he manages, and the less he can tolerate dissidents.

Therefore, in the past ten years, the Hamburg board of directors has been best at two things, frying coaches and infighting.

Since winning a German Cup in [-], Hamburg has never won any honors. This is completely inconsistent with the huge commercial potential of the city where the club is located and the large number of fans.

But in the past ten years, Hamburg has changed more than a dozen head coaches, almost every year. The frequency of coaching changes is astounding, because according to common sense, the more mid-lower the team, the stronger the coaching position should be.

Close to the level of the coaching change, the infighting between the management has been going on for many years and never stops.

Others needless to say, just say Beiersdorf.

The former Hamburg star, after serving as the football director of Hamburg, has made great contributions to Hamburg.

Under his coaching, Hamburg has successively introduced stars such as Kompany and van der Vaart, helping Hamburg enter the middle and upper reaches of the Bundesliga standings, and even enter the European theater.

However, it was such a capable general who had made many achievements, but because of conflicts with the board of directors, especially Kerkhoff and others, he was eventually rejected and had to leave Hamburg.

After leaving Hamburg, Beiersdorf has done quite well no matter whether he is at Leipzig Red Bull or Zenit.

For example, in Zenit, Witsel and Hulk are his handwriting.

Although these two players spent a lot of money, don't forget that it is the Russian Super League, and if you have money, you have to be able to pry them.

Therefore, there is nothing to say about Beiersdorf's ability, especially the ability to transfer operations.

What about hamburgers?
After Beiersdorf left the team, the team's signings were in a mess, and the club's finances were also in trouble.

Today, it is even more necessary to sell the club's shares to survive.

Yang Huan was mentally prepared for this.

He knew very well that after he took a stake in Hamburg, it would be difficult for the management to stop in the future.

Therefore, he must be strong.

Not only should he be strong, but even his two agents, Thomas Lake and Beiersdorf, must also be strong.

Only in this way can this group of fucking directors be restrained.

Right now Yang Huan only has 30.00% of Wu's shares, but it doesn't matter, take your time, nibble away step by step, there are still a lot of opportunities.

As long as the team's performance improves, the fans feel the changes in the team, slowly accept a new management team, and then gradually strike out this group of old-fashioned directors, will Hamburg still run in the palm of their hands?

But for the team's performance to improve, there are many things that need to be done.

After Yang Huan suppressed this vote of the board of directors, Yang Huan knew very well in his heart that he had to go further.

So, he looked at Thomas Lake.

"Thomas, tell me about your plan!"

Except for Beiersdorf, Kesh Harris and others present, the others were all shocked.

This guy was just named CEO, and he had no plans, and now he has a plan?
what's the plan?
But who was Thomas Lake?

Isn't the reason why he resigned from Allianz Insurance, PricewaterhouseCoopers and other international companies because he was unwilling to be lonely?

Even in Deutsche Bank, he gradually felt the oppression of personal ability by large international companies and felt depressed.

He longs for an opportunity and a platform for everyone to see his ability and prove his worth.

There is no doubt that Hamburg is such a platform.

Although it is only a Bundesliga team, it has a huge influence in Germany, and its assets are [-] to [-] million, which is not a lot.

If he can make the Hamburg site bigger and stronger, wouldn't that be the best proof?
Thinking of this, Thomas Lake faintly accepted this challenge in his heart, and he firmly believed that as long as he knew how to do things and did good things, then Master Huan would not let him suffer.

I saw the German middle-aged man let out a heavy breath, stood up under everyone's gaze, took his laptop, and walked to the podium in the conference room, obviously to show the materials he had prepared before.

"Everyone, the current professional football competition is about resources. I don't know much about football, and I'm not very expert. I believe that Dittmar is an expert in this aspect. He will explain his ideas later."

After all, Thomas Lake is a person who has experienced storms, and he talked with eloquence as soon as he opened his mouth, and he grasped the feeling.

"I am good at finance, operation and business management. Let me briefly talk about my understanding of the current situation in Hamburg!"

With that said, he turned off the lights and showed everyone his PPT on the projector.

"According to the data I got from Deloitte, Hamburg's revenue in the past few years has basically stabilized at around 2000 million euros. Around [-], this data probably ranked among the top [-] in Europe."

"However, in the past few years, European teams have made rapid progress in their operations. With an income of 2000 million euros, they can only be ranked around 20th. If my data is correct, this season should be No. 04, but it is also quite good. The Bundesliga ranks fourth, behind Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Schalke [-]."

It should be said that Thomas Lake's data is very accurate, with little discrepancy.

"But there is a problem here. From the data I got and the club gave me, I guess that Hamburg's revenue this season will drop a bit compared to last year, because several sponsorship contracts have expired, and they obviously do not plan to renew them."

At this point, Yang Huan and the others immediately looked at Kerkhoff.

Master Huan didn't speak, but his eyes were very clear, please explain!

Kerkhoff was embarrassed, but he had to nod. "Yes, it is true that three sponsorship contracts have expired. It is estimated that the annual income will be reduced by 1000 million euros, but the annual income should be able to barely maintain around 2000 million euros."

The last sentence was directly ignored by Yang Huan.

Because what he should say is too weak.

"Continue!" Yang Huan looked at Thomas Lake again.

As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official to take office, and Thomas Lake also knew that he should make this fire more vigorous.

"I listed these two data and rankings for everyone, just to see that in the past few years, instead of making any progress in club management, we have not caught up with the good time for the rapid development of European clubs. Instead, we have retreated steadily."

These words are simply accusing Kerkhov and others of their incompetence!
But Yang Huan likes it very much, because his spokesperson wants to be so strong and powerful!
"This is the first point!"

Thomas Lake obviously hasn't finished speaking, and there is more to come.

"Second point, let's take a look at this one again, the data I got from my friend in the Wall Street Journal!"

Kerkhoff and others are about to collapse.

Damn Xipi, can you stop playing with us like this?
Deloitte for a while, Wall Street Journal for a while, I know you know a lot of people and know that you have a lot of contacts, but can you stop playing us like this?Give us a way to survive?
"I personally made a comparison based on these data. Putting aside the ranking of the standings, I used points and goals, combined with the team's salary expenditure, and I made a new data, that is, how much does each point cost? How much do we spend for each goal?"

Crove and the others were dumbfounded.

Can this thing still be counted like this?

"Finally, the data I got is like this!"

As Thomas Lake pointed, a list immediately appeared on the projector.

At the top of the list is Augsburg, who spend an average of £45 per league point and £46 per goal.

They are followed by Mainz at £63 per point and £73 per goal.

Looking down from above, Hertha Berlin, Freiburg, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Nuremberg, Leverkusen, Frankfurt...

Hey, where's the hamburger?
"Sorry, I can't finish one page, we are on the second page!"

As Thomas Lake clicked on the next page, everyone was stunned.

Hamburg spent a total of 200 million pounds per league point, and the efficiency of scoring points was only higher than that of Bayern Munich. The latter spent [-] million pounds per league point, no more, no less, [-] more than Hamburg.

This is so interesting.

Everyone knows that Bayern Munich is the league champion and they have to fight on multiple fronts, so the thickness of their lineup is unmatched by Hamburg. Therefore, all teams participating in the European war must have higher salary expenditures, and they must suffer in such a ranking.

But even so, Hamburg is still ranked No.19. What kind of concept is this?
If compared with teams such as Mainz, Hamburg spends nearly five times as much for every point they get.

Yang Huan couldn't help being a little surprised in his heart, because he couldn't imagine how bad and clumsy the operation would be to cause the team's efficiency to be so low.

What's even more frightening is that Hamburg is still in the relegation zone!
Yang Huan was a little moved, let alone Kerkhov and the others, one or two of them immediately changed their expressions.

Because they know better than anyone else that if this data is released, they will be finished!
Angry fans will definitely tear them to pieces!

Therefore, they were surprised at first, but then they panicked, especially Kerkhoff looked at Yang Huan.

"Master Huan, listen to my explanation, I..."

Yang Huan waved his hand to prevent him from continuing.

Kerkhoff's words came to his lips, but he couldn't continue, and his whole heart fell into the ice cellar.

Because he knew that as long as Yang Huan said a word, he wouldn't be able to turn around.

But when this group of people were at a loss, Yang Huan gave them a shot in the arm.

"Don't worry, what you see here, I can assure you, will not be spread outside."

Not only that, Yang Huan also looked at Thomas Lake, "Thomas, go back and visit the Wall Street Journal."

Thomas Lake is also a smart person, so he naturally heard the voice of Young Master Huan, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Think about it carefully, what's the use of exposing these things now?

Yes, Kerkhoff and others may be kicked out by angry fans, but there will be another twists and turns in the matter of Yang Huan's shareholding.

This was obviously not what Yang Huan wanted.

Now for Hamburg, for Yang Huan, the most favorable situation is stability.

But Thomas Lake also knew in his heart that having such a bargaining chip in his hand was his trump card.

With it, you will have the confidence to compete with this group of board members!

Thinking of this, he felt that his future was bright!
