Chapter 16 Too Many Things
Furthermore, if the conflicting behavior of the two clubs spreads because of their complacency, it will be very bad for Valencia's future development.

For Charlotte's attitude, Zaragoza club executives are also very satisfied.They know Valencia are now eager to celebrate.They shuddered and went away.

When the president of the Football Association, Angel Bilal, handed over the Spanish league championship trophy that Valencia had been looking forward to for 87 years to captain Potelli, the entire Riazor stadium boiled like a volcanic eruption.Nearly 4 people chanted "Valencia" and "Champion" in unison, and more than 10 people responded collectively outside the stadium.Charlotte couldn't even hear her own voice.She can only calm her excitement with her father and aunt.The award ceremony soon moved to the stage of the club's top speeches, but unexpectedly, no one from Charlotte took the stage.But with the help of her father, Susha, she helped grandfather Kale get to the podium.Charlotte picked up the microphone and sobbed: "I don't have much to say about Valencia and the league championship. Let my grandfather, now the president of the Valencia club and a witness of the Valencia club, Mr. Kahler say the rest. Then, he handed the microphone to Grandpa Kale and hurried forward to hug his other side.

For the Amarani family, the people of Valencia know a few things.They are one of the founders of the Valencia club.And this white-haired old man can indeed be said to have grown up with Valencia since birth.Seeing him, all the fans stood up and gave warm applause.

For 15 minutes, Grandpa Kale was crying and talking intermittently.Finally, Charlotte took the mic and added: "I don't want to make any guarantees. I just want to say that this champion will be the beginning of a new life for Valencia." As soon as Charlotte was over, the crowd cheered.

This was followed by speeches from the mayor of Valencia, Charlotte's grandfather, and other government officials and MPs.Usually, they don't feel very fond of these people.But on this great day today, I still gave my face a lot of applause.Then, all the players of the team and the staff of the coaching staff boarded a temporarily modified bus and started a parade around the city.

Everywhere we went, we were greeted with all kinds of applause and cheers and a splash of champagne.When a player stands in front of a long line of people to lift the league championship trophy, he will be showered with champagne.With the championship in sight, Charlotte contacted Cruz Campo, one of Spain's largest brewers, and asked for a beer sponsorship.In the end, a sponsorship deal was reached, with a sponsorship fee of $50 for the championship, and two photos of all the team's players drinking company beer.

Meanwhile, a box of beer and three bottles of champagne will be given away to Valencia season ticket holders this season.A bottle of champagne will be presented to fans with more than ten different individual game ticket stubs.Every fan with a match ticket stub can buy 30% off beer at any beer sales center temporarily set up by the Cruz Campo company in Valencia, with one bottle per person, while season ticket holders are limited to four cases .

As a result, everyone in the car drank a champagne beer bath, including Coach Elliott.

While the city cheered and celebrated, Charlotte held a meeting with several senior members of the club immediately after seeing off her family.Understand the club's income this season and prepare in advance for next season.

"This season, our club's income is mainly reflected in the following aspects: ticket revenue, commercial sponsorship, development of peripheral products such as jerseys, as well as prize money for winning the championship and TV broadcast fees for beggars." First, the deputy manager William Adams M. Le delivered a speech detailing the club's revenue this season.

"In this regard, the team's excellent record in La Liga this season has greatly stimulated the ball market, and set a new high for the club's ticket revenue, reaching nearly 960 million US dollars. However, the sponsorship fee is not much, because the general manager Charlotte's The 2+1 sponsorship contract has reduced the sponsorship fee. However, due to the reason for winning the championship, the championship award has been launched, and the sponsorship fee has reached 740 million US dollars. In addition, various peripheral products of the team have also been developed, especially the commemorative campaign for winning the championship T-shirts and T-shirts. So far, 20 pieces have been sold, with revenues of about 800 million dollars. This is also due to the general manager asking the club to be directly involved. If sold to some companies as before, the price will be less than 200 million dollars. In addition, There are also TV broadcast fees, Copa del Rey home ticket income, and tournament prize money.” Speaking of this, William Adams Miller deliberately stopped to observe the reactions of everyone present, especially Charlotte.But Charlotte still listened to the report with a calm face, but everyone else was a little excited.

"The club's revenue this season will exceed $3100 million, an increase of $1700 million over last season's revenue." Soon, William Adams Miller reported two numbers that no one could have imagined.You know, in the past, Valencia made no more than $1500 million a season.It's so easy to make money now.But then William Adams Miller's words calmed everyone down.

"While all revenues for the club have hit new highs this season, their expenses have also risen steadily. The club has spent close to $1200 million on player and coach salaries and bonuses alone. In addition, stadium maintenance, club public The team's away games and other expenses are as high as 130 million US dollars. This increase is mainly due to the general manager's establishment of at least a three-star hotel standard. There are also club employees, and their total salary expenditures have also reached 380 million US dollars. Total payouts came to $1710 million, an increase of nearly $300 million over last season alone." Watching those with their mouths open, William Adams Miller didn't underestimate them.When he had just finished counting, he was taken aback and counted twice more.

"Of course, this is not all expenditure. In terms of youth training facilities and medical facilities, the club invested $200 million in the first half of last year. According to youth training director Rene Meulensteen and medical director Levi Schmidt, if If you want to improve these two aspects in the previous plan, you need to invest at least 300 million US dollars each year this year and next year, and the club has agreed to start investing this year." Speaking of this, William Adams Miller stopped to drink and continued: "Next One is the biggest transfer market supported by the club. Last year, the club invested a total of $2100 million in the transfer market."

"Based on the club's income last year, total revenue was $3170 million, expenses were $4130 million, and the club's total loss was $960 million." After speaking, William Adams Miller closed the books and sat down.The meeting suddenly fell silent.

"Let me say something!" Seeing that the atmosphere of the meeting was a bit depressed, Charlotte took the initiative to speak.

"The statistics just now are correct for a company but incomplete for a football club. Another important aspect of a football club's wealth is the players. Last year we spent $2100 million on 10 players and they It's our mainstay of the championship, not a waste. Based on my current valuation of them, they are currently worth close to 5000 million US dollars combined. In other words, we should have made a profit of about 4000 million US dollars." The audience listened from Charlotte Here comes a strange theory.

"Of course, there is a premise, that is the financial situation of the club. Otherwise, in the case of being forced to sell the player, the buyer will depress the value of the player. I know the financial situation of the club and will monitor it personally. Don't worry. Now we The most important thing is to raise wages and establish a new salary structure to retain the core players and coaches of the team and ensure the performance of the team." Charlotte didn't have a good chance of competing with the old people around her grandfather in the financial department.But now just using the team to win the championship, his reputation has reached its peak, and he will control the club's finances in his hands, a completely "dictatorship" club.

"Based on our current income situation, we could have as much as $1600 million in wages and bonuses next season. When our income does not increase, this is what we are willing to do. But in fact, we will play in the Champions League next season. .Only stadium tickets and TV fees will increase our revenue by at least $500 million. Also, due to the results, sponsorship fees will also increase next season, at least more than $200 million. But if you only give raises to employees in the competition department, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among employees in other departments." William Adams Miller also quickly gave Charlotte a budget.

"All wages need to be increased. Now it's time to develop a sound, well-rounded pay structure according to the circumstances of the club. Previously management wages as a percentage of club revenue could be calculated from this season's revenue to next season." See William Adams Miller With the reminder, Charlotte expressed her thoughts with great satisfaction.

"It's the equivalent of a 50 percent raise for the employees in other departments, which should appease them, but it will increase spending by nearly $200 million." Hearing Charlotte, William Adams Miller quickly got a figure.

"It feels a bit high! Let's increase the salary like this next season, and then increase it slowly, and control this part of the salary to about 10% of the club's income in the previous year." Charlotte was a little bit when he heard the news of 200 million US dollars Regretted, but hard to take back her words.After all, it left a bad impression on people, that is, young people with no hair on their mouths and guns everywhere.

"As for the Champions League winners, the Champions League winners will get $200 million each, and the Copa del Rey winners will get $100 million. Take this $500 million and put it into the next season's budget. In the end, we can make a difference between transfers and player wages. How much did it cost?"

"It is conservatively estimated that the club's operating income next season will reach 4000 million U.S. dollars. Excluding various expenses, the funds available for player salaries and transfers are about 2000 million U.S. dollars." William Adams Miller did some statistics and came up with a figure .But William Adams Miller was quick to add, "However, money raised from player transfers can also be injected into it."

Obviously, he also knows that even if Valencia gets a salary increase, it will be difficult to compare with the Giants.There will always be people who can't resist the lure of big pay and time off.

"The wages of the players should also be increased to a certain extent. I think the maximum annual salary can be set at 40 US dollars. The annual salary of the main players is set at between 25 and 35 US dollars, and the annual salary of the main substitutes is set at between 15 and 25 US dollars. During the period, the annual salary of a pure substitute is set between 10 and 15 US dollars. In terms of coaching, the head coach and his team get a 30-50% salary increase, and the youth training coach gets 20% according to the actual situation of the club after discussion Around the salary increase, Charlotte and a group of executives formulated the latest salary structure within the club.

At the end of the meeting, William Adams Miller closed the door of the conference room and asked a tired Charlotte with a puzzled expression: "You are just causing trouble for Real Madrid and Barcelona. A 10% salary increase is enough. Why do you want to do it once? Adding that much? Not only would it put a lot of pressure on the club, but it would also give the club a bad image in Spanish football."

Somewhat weary, Charlotte lay back in her boss's chair with her eyes closed, and found that when she heard the questions of her closest assistants, she took them for granted.I know that the efforts made by historical events have turned out to be failures in front of others.After thinking about it, I still think it's best to tell him.After all, his ability to work and his attitude towards himself have been recognized.

"Do you know Henry Will William?" Charlotte didn't answer directly, but asked William Adams Miller if he knew the man who would be cursed by countless people in the football world in the future.

William Adams Miller grimly recalled that he had never heard the name in football.He shook his head and asked: "Henley Will William, is he also a football player?"?what is your job? "

Belgian footballer and midfielder Henri Willem currently plays for Belgian club Standard Liege.After his contract with the club expired, he received a request from the club for a 60% salary cut.He was dissatisfied with this and was ready to return to the French Dunkirk team, but the high transfer fee offered by Standard Liege FC made the transfer impossible.At the same time, he asked him to reduce his salary and renew his contract.He resigned.As a result, he was blocked by the club and the Belgian FA. ’ Charlotte frowned as William Adams Miller told the story of Henry Will William.
