Chapter 915 Do you want Messi?
"Don't force me, if you force me again, I'll show you to death every minute!"

In the chairman's office of Southampton's Glory Stadium, Master Huan's loud roar was heard.

When people outside heard this, they must have wondered in their hearts, what is this young master Huan doing in the office?

Could it be that the bad old man from Nike's US headquarters, seeing that Master Huan is a tender little fresh meat, wants to touch Master Huan, and Master Huan is swearing to die?
Uh, even if that's the case, aren't there people like Ron Gurley and Peter Kenyon in the room?
Could it be that they were all subdued by the other party?

Or, how many of them are inside...

Thinking of this, the saint employees who originally wanted to rush in and risk their lives for the Savior finally suppressed their impulse.

But don't be careless, if the person is not rescued, it will ruin the good deed of Young Master Huan, and that will be bad.

And the group of guys watching the theater outside will definitely think that at this moment, the bad old man they were preparing to attack now has a depressed face, and almost fell down crying in front of Young Master Huan.

"I said, Master Huan, am I discussing with you?" Bert Hoyet was depressed.

I'm just talking, why did your old man react so strongly?
Could it be that my words accidentally exposed the scars of your old man?

Yang Huan shook his head and sighed, looking at Bert Hoyet in front of him, "Don't you know? In the past few days, you are the fourth person to mention this matter to me."

"What?" Bert Hoyet was a little surprised, "I'm the fourth?"

He originally thought that he should be the first to mention this matter to Master Huan, but he didn't expect that there were already so many people ahead of him. It seemed that everyone could clearly see the potential in this deal.

"Then...Master Huan, what do you mean..." Bert Hoyet asked expectantly.

Four sponsors have already spoken up. Master Huan, what else do you worry about?

Unexpectedly, Yang Huan shook his head, "Belt, you are speaking lightly. In a word, if you ask for money, you will be done. But what about us? We have too many things to consider."

Hearing what Master Huan said, Bert Hoyet immediately understood.

It's not that Southampton hasn't considered this matter, but it's just a matter of great importance, so they all have to handle it carefully, otherwise, if they are not careful, the Saints may be greatly affected.

This has to mention the most famous transfer of the year, Ibrahimovic's transfer from Inter Milan to Barcelona.

At that time, the whole of Europe was full of expectations for this transfer, and even Barcelona's head coach Pep Guardiola was looking forward to Ibrahimovic's arrival.

But actually?
After the Swedish center came to Barcelona, ​​instead of forming an invincible attacking lineup with Messi, he was forced to switch to Southampton at a low price after a season.

To make matters worse, Barcelona lost more than 8000 million in fiscal revenue that year.

Superstars are beautiful, but behind superstars, it is not as simple as ordinary fans imagine.

In today's European professional football, behind every star is money and interests.

Don't look at Southampton is now strong and has the most outstanding lineup in Europe, but if the introduction of Messi leads to problems within the team, this is not what Yang Huan wants to see.

Yes, Messi!

Bert Hoyet came to Southampton this time to represent Nike and negotiate with Southampton about the introduction of Messi.

"Master Huan, to tell you the truth, we have received news that Adidas has contacted Bayern Munich and Manchester United, and they will fully support these two teams to compete for Messi."

Speaking of this, Nike's global vice president looked at Yang Huan, nodded and smiled: "As for our situation, I believe you also know that Messi is not very interested in Paris Saint-Germain. He is more inclined to come to the Premier League. Although Manchester City is also willing to introduce Messi, the possibility is not great."

Relatively speaking, for Nike's team, the most promising team to introduce Messi is Southampton.

There have been reports from the Spanish media before. It is said that Messi once revealed to people around him that if he was allowed to choose, then after he left Barcelona, ​​his preferred team would be Southampton.

Today's Messi is like a goddess that countless boys are flocking to, and his heart is tied to Southampton, but the terrible thing is that the goddess has a heart to help the king without dreams, but Southampton has never let go of Messi's issue.

This makes the sponsors around Southampton also have to worry.

You know, the introduction of Messi by the Saints is a big deal for them, and it can greatly enhance their propaganda. Can we not pay attention to it?
But conversely, if Southampton does not let go and Messi is poached by Bayern Munich, then Nike will suffer a heavy loss.

Messi is now in Barcelona. Although his legs belong to Adidas, they are still from Nike. But if he goes to Bayern Munich, he will marry Adidas from head to toe.

At that time, Adidas is sitting on the two great male gods, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and Nike has not been screwed?

Therefore, when Messi intends to leave the team, Nike hopes that Messi can switch to his own team.

There is no doubt that Southampton is the most suitable.

"Master Huan, let's put it this way, our company attaches great importance to the transfer of Messi. If the Saints can introduce Messi this time, then we are willing to bear part of the cost for the Saints."

"Oh?" Yang Huan's eyes lit up.

Ron Gurley even asked, "How much can you afford?"

"It depends," Bert Hoyet said.

"Let's listen to it." Yang Huan nodded.

"If you Southampton can introduce Messi to the Glory Stadium, you only need to add a clause in the contract. After Messi's contract with Adidas expires, he will automatically transfer to Nike. We can provide up to 5000 million euros for this transfer. Financial support."

"5000 million?" Ron Gourley shook his head, "Belt, you are too poor, aren't you?"

"Yeah, Belt, I heard that Adidas' financial support for Bayern Munich is nearly [-] million." Peter Kenyon also laughed.

Bert Hoyet was clearly prepared, and nodded unhurriedly: "Yes, Ron, Peter, you are right, but I haven't finished yet."

Ron Gurley and Peter Kenyon looked at each other, but didn't speak anymore, letting the other party continue.

"In addition to this financial support, our annual sponsorship fee will be increased by an additional 50.00% on the original basis until Messi leaves the team or retires."

After hearing this, Yang Huan secretly sighed in his heart, the scene two years ago finally reappeared.

Two years ago, Adidas encouraged many teams, including Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, to poach Messi.

As a result, in the end, the two teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​were scared to death, for fear that the head team would be poached, so they brought in Neymar and Gareth Bale at sky-high prices.

Today, the transfers of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have already received the green light from the two teams.

Ever since, the two sponsoring forces representing the highest in world football have finally started another new struggle.

Judging from the current situation in European football, Adidas undoubtedly has a certain advantage in sponsoring teams.

Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and other giant teams are currently owned by Adidas.

On the other hand, Nike was forced to retreat by Adidas. If it hadn't signed a sponsorship contract with Miracle Football Group and won the sponsorship rights of Southampton, Hamburg, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid and Monaco in one go, Nike's current situation would be even more difficult.

If it is said that this is just a competition at the club level, then the competition for players has already become fierce.

As the two superstars in the world, the battle between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is very important to Nike. If Messi is really switched to the opponent's camp, it will be a heavy loss for Nike.

Yang Huan, Peter Kenyon, and Ron Gourley, after hearing the conditions offered by Bert Hoyet, thought in their minds that Nike's offer was indeed very attractive.

Because, this is tantamount to Nike helping Southampton to support Messi.

But for the saints, the challenge is not small.

That is, after the introduction of Messi, it is bound to break the pattern of the existing team, such as tactics, the team's salary structure and so on.

At that time, what will other players do when Messi comes?

Could it be that Messi receives an annual salary of 2000 million after tax, while Suarez, Hazard and other players are still guarding the original contract?Isn't this a joke?
Even if for the time being, the players won't have any objections or make trouble, but how long will it take?

There is also a tactical level. The introduction of Messi will inevitably break the tactical weight of the existing team. It must be to build the team's offensive system with Messi as the core. What will be the attitude of Suarez and Hazard about this?

All in all, the introduction of Messi seems to be very simple, but in fact, behind it, it is a very cumbersome and complicated trade-off and operation.

This is definitely not something that can be done simply because Nike is willing to give strong support.

Southampton must have its own interests to calculate.

Therefore, even though Bert Hoyet talked so loudly that his mouth was dry, Yang Huan still refused to let go.

At the end of the day, Master Huan said in a coping manner, "Let's think about it later."

In this way, the reluctant Berthe Hoyet was sent away.

After sending off the global vice president of Nike, Yang Huan and Peter Kenyon did not leave. Ron Gurley returned to the office soon after sending off Bert Hoyet.

The three sat down, Peter Kenyon and Ron Gourley looked at Master Huan.

The final opinion on this matter depends on Master Huan's decision.

Messi, do you want it?

Yang Huan also looked at the two ministers in front of him solemnly, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

"What's the reaction outside now?" Yang Huan asked with concern.

Ron Gurley smiled slightly, "The fans responded enthusiastically. It can be seen that they are all looking forward to Messi."

Isn't that right?

Messi, the No.1 football player in the world, an unborn genius, who doesn't look forward to it?
"Master Huan, in fact, I think the response from all aspects is so enthusiastic. If we can take advantage of this opportunity and work hard, maybe..." Peter Kenyon's business strategy is to be aggressive.

Therefore, in his opinion, the introduction of Messi will do more good than harm to Southampton.

"Yes, Master Huan, this is a very good opportunity to enhance the team's brand value and image. Not only us, the major sponsors, but also the partners of Glory Plaza are also very supportive of this, and are even willing to strongly support the team."

After hearing what Ron Gurley said, Yang Huan chuckled.

"Of course they support it. It's better for the team to become a superstar lineup to attract more fans to watch the game. Wouldn't they lose their money?"

However, what the two of them said really strengthened some of Yang Huan's thoughts.
