Mister Legend

Chapter 153 Investment and Income

The team name of the Empoli club is the name of the local city, but the size there is too small, more like a small town, with a permanent population of only 4 to [-], plus it belongs to Tuscany There are also big cities like Florence and Siena in the Toscana area, and the difficulties in the management of the team can be imagined.However, they still made it to the Serie A league several times intermittently by virtue of the growth of batch after batch of youth training members, making this small city well-known to the outside world.

Summarizing the rules of this team's relegation and relegation, it will be found that although several young players are promoted to the first team every year, their strengths and potentials are quite different.Surprisingly, every time there are excellent seedlings, there are several at once. It is because of the rise of young players similar to the "golden generation" that Empoli can be promoted to the first division. league.However, after one or two seasons, these players will be fully matured, and they will be divided up by many big teams. Naturally, they will be relegated back to the second division due to a sharp drop in strength. The previous trips to the first division: 1986 -88, 1997-99, 2002-04 and 2005-08 are all of this pattern, without exception.

In 2012, the late bloomer Italian coach Maurizio Sarri took over the small team, leading the Albanian full-back Elseid Hysaj, Georgia international Levan Mchedlidze , Mesozoic central defender Lorenzo Tonelli and other youth training players, as well as veterans such as Valdi Fiore and Croce, plus Macarone, who returned after a lapse of ten years, has won two consecutive years. Achieved the top four results in Serie B, and returned to the ranks of Serie A in the second year. In the 2014-15 season, as the most popular candidate for relegation, Empoli finally won the No.15 in the league and succeeded in relegation steadily. Because of this achievement, the head coach Sarri was also selected by Naples, who was at his peak, and took over. The pointer left by Benitez.However, this coach is also too dishonest. When he switched to the new club, he also poached the two core teams of Chisay and Valdi Fiori, which seriously weakened the strength of the old club and further deteriorated the relegation situation.

But just when everyone thought that the team was bound to be relegated in the 2015-16 season, the club hired the previously unknown Marco Giampaolo from the Serie C team Cremonese. The middle-aged man, who is less than 50 years old, raised the team's ranking from No.15 to No.10 with only a bad hand, and his glasses were shattered.Such an outstanding performance naturally cannot escape the pursuit of big teams. Sampdoria, who was poached by the Rossoneri, snatched the blockbuster star with a two-year contract with double annual salary. coach.To make matters worse, the former head coach still did not give up the move of poaching his old club. Naples bought the team's defensive core Tonelli at a price of 1000 million euros this summer, leaving him as an assistant coach just now. Giovanni Martusciello, who was righted, was a mess that couldn't be broken anymore.

In the just-concluded summer transfer window, Empoli lost four of Tonelli, Ruy (joined Roma on loan), Zelinski (leaved on loan), and Paredes (leaved on loan). He was the absolute main player last season, but only eight players were introduced in total. Most of the transactions were completed through lease and visa-free. The total cost was only 300 million euros, and he made a net profit of 700 million in the transfer market.At this stage, when young players have not yet grown up, and the new players are leftovers that other teams don't want, the team's strength will decline in a big way, and relegation seems inevitable.Although this kind of judgment has been said for the past two years, and the results have been severely slapped in the face, but as far as this season is concerned, 99% of the media believe that judging from the current situation of Empoli, unless there is something good Luck, or they'd already pre-booked a relegation seat.

In fact, in modern football, the role of capital investment has actually played a pivotal role. The leagues of various countries and the Champions League have been completely monopolized by those wealthy clubs with strong economic strength.In the past 20 years, all the successive champions of the Champions League, except for Porto in 2004, are all traditional top teams.Even though the Portuguese team had a bit of luck in winning the championship, it was the most famous "black shop" in the world after all, and it was also not short of money. At that time, more than half of the Porto team were national footballers, Deco, Maniche , Costinia... Isn't it paid for?Therefore, a "thrifty and frugal" small team like Empoli is destined to never have a chance to turn around. Although it can occasionally break out with years of accumulation, without the guarantee of funds and results, good players will soon be eliminated. The big teams are divided up, and they return to the understanding and liberation overnight. After that, they can only continue to cycle until they exit the stage of history...or a big local tycoon who has money and nowhere to spend buys the team and smashes it desperately. money……

Generally speaking, it doesn’t mean that a large investment will definitely result in a large return. It will often happen that tens of millions are thrown in without even seeing a splash (such as a certain country’s Super League), but if you don’t invest, it must be Completely useless.Modern football has become a business, which conforms to most of the laws of business. The rising models like Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris have never existed before, and will become the norm in the future. One day, the ball will be It will become the color of money, pink football should not be ugly!
Just like a saying goes: "Money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible." The club is like this, and so are people.In today's society where values ​​are collapsing, the perception that money is king has been accepted by most people. People who sneer at this value, except for a few people with truly noble sentiments, the rest are incapable of making money But he's just a useless guy who knows how to be "cynical".Ordinary people and even celebrities who criticize the world on the Internet, flirt with girls everywhere in private, or change girlfriends every day, will definitely be criticized by the majority of Internet fans, but if the protagonist is his principal Wang, they will probably only think that this is nothing It's just everyday, even if there are people who don't like it, I believe few will scold it.Why?My father is super rich!Just set a small goal of [-] million soft girls. With so many accounts, everyone would think that Principal Wang is qualified to play like this.

Although Li Mudi also likes money, whether he was so poor that he couldn’t even pay the rent in his previous life, or after time-traveling adventures, he has assets exceeding tens of millions of euros all at once, he doesn’t feel that his social status is because of money. Variety.Now he has become a well-known figure in China and the world of football, and it is also because of the identity of the football head coach, the achievements he has led the team, and his yellow skin, which has nothing to do with money.However, after the news that he had invested a huge amount of money in the crew of "The People" was exposed, he instantly felt that the attention of the people in the show business circle of the Celestial Dynasty suddenly reached a crazy level.Every time I open WeChat, there are countless fellow villagers in the "popsicle" group @自己, and people around them want to ask for the contact information of the Turin coach. Just ask Li Mudi what he means, and he will tell the other party only after he gets permission.Because the number of times Li Mudi logs into WeChat is really limited, and he only logs on when there is something to do. On average, it will appear about ten times a month. These big brothers and sisters helped to explain, which made them a little bit devastated.Bao Xiaolei, who has the closest personal relationship with the coach of Turin, has repeatedly suggested in private that he should find a broker or agent in charge of these matters as soon as possible. He let it go easily, so his sister Xiaolei also joined Brother Hong Lei's team logically, and went to help Baozi find a good manager or agent.

If it is said that the only people who paid attention to him from the Celestial Dynasty at the beginning were some crew members who needed someone to invest in, then on September 9, the last episode of "People" had a ratings of 15% and a share of 18.1%. After the announcement, the entire domestic film and television industry exploded, and Li Moody's name immediately entered the ranks of legends.The first drama I invested in was a drama that was rejected by countless senior investment companies at that time. What kind of vision is this?Although before the success or failure of the next investment, everyone still doesn't know whether it is the luck of a blind cat to meet a dead mouse, or a pair of golden eyes, but this does not prevent the insider who pays more attention to profit and fame to temporarily accept Li Mudi. Putting it at the top level, anyway, if someone becomes famous overnight, someone will be doomed in an instant. When the Turin coach fails, he will be pulled down and put on his feet.

Those who don't know the specific details "worship" Li Mudi so much, so the big manager next to him who just learned the truth, when he looked at a list of income that Baozi sent from China, he directly said I was dumbfounded.CCTV has been constantly adjusting the prime-time advertising costs according to the rising ratings of "People". When the value reaches 10%, the standard becomes 15 per 45 seconds, which is almost three times the normal standard.And the charging standard for the last episode has reached 15 million per 220 seconds, creating the highest record of a set of CCTV Golden Theater since it started broadcasting. However, there are still many companies vying for it like crazy. The most popular TV series in the past ten years, and the orientation is absolutely correct, the publicity effect will naturally be so awesome that there are no friends.During the 23 days that this drama was broadcast, CCTV received nearly 7.2 million in advertising fees, compared to the 5.2 million buyout fee, which netted 260 million soft girls, and the net rate of return was as high as 6%.According to the 4320% advertising fee sharing agreement agreed with them before, Li Mudi has an income of 2800 million. Since the previous buyout fee has recovered the cost, the money is his personal net profit, which is almost done. A one-to-one ratio of investment to income.Even after deducting various taxes and commissions for Baozi, there is still [-] million left. CCTV confirmed that it will be credited at the end of the month, making the Turin coach the second biggest beneficiary of this drama.

Guinness has been completely numb. With a cost of 600 million euros, he got back 970 million in just five months. Although the 160% income ratio is not too strong, the key is that the cycle is so short. If you do this twice a year, you can turn 600 million into 600 million in three years.Of course, in reality, it cannot be calculated so simply. There are many good projects, but too few can be discovered and participated in.Under normal circumstances, before everything is settled, no one knows whether a project will make money or lose money in the end. Maybe if there is another toss, the [-] million yuan may be lost.However, this does not prevent the Spanish economic giant from admiring the partner in front of him again. It really became the lyrics: "If you are willing to peel my heart layer by layer, you will find , you will be suppressed." In the days that followed, Li Mudi did notice a subtle change in his manager's attitude towards him. Although he was respectful before, he was still somewhat divided into strong and weak, but now it is completely different from both sides. Feeling equal again.

After this incident, the time soon came to the third weekend in September, and the Turin team ushered in the fourth round of the league at their home court.After Lazio beat the newly promoted Pescara 3-0 last night, the media naturally would not let go of the good opportunity to ridicule Li Moody, but the latter completely ignored those boring questions, and his attention was completely focused on how to win It's three points.

During training on Friday afternoon, Belotti, the team's top scorer and temporarily ranked top scorer in the league with five goals, accidentally sprained his left wrist. The team medical director, Greco, suggested a truce for this round. Whether he can play against Pescara on the weekend will depend on the recovery situation.Although the opponent's strength is not strong, but in the previous game, they also had one win and two losses with Turin, and they were evenly matched in points, so the head coach of the home team didn't dare to be careless at all.But losing the team's most important scorer all of a sudden, coupled with worries about Joe Hart's integration into the team, Li Moody felt that this game might not be won as easily as the media predicted before the game.

The home team still has a 4-3-3 formation, but personnel rotations have been carried out in some positions.The goalkeeper is still Joe Hart, the right back Bruno Perez, the central defenders Rossettini and Vallejo, the left back is the teenager Barreca, the midfielder Vives, the central midfielder Benassi and Baselli , right winger Rajajic, left winger Iago Falk, center is only 20-year-old Lucas Boyer.

In the away game, Empoli played with all the main force except for the injured players. The players worthy of attention include the veteran left back Manuel Pasqual, who just joined from Fiorentina in the new season, with a potential value of 150. Riccardo Saponara, the 25-year-old midfielder who just returned from AC Milan two seasons ago, and Alberto Gilardino, a former Italian international and famous Serie A striker.Their formation is 4-3-1-2 with an attacking midfielder.
