Chapter 416: Follow the saints

Name:Football Giants Author:Chen Aiting
"Hey, Hamad, call me now, what's the matter?"

Yang Huan sat on the softly cushioned red rosewood chair with a golden sword, the unspeakable local tyrant.

Peter Kenyon, who looked across from him, was amused in his heart, this young master sometimes really...

"Master Huan, there is someone who wants to meet you, I don’t know what you mean."

Hamad looked very polite on the phone.

This kid is actually quite clever. When there is no one on weekdays, he is very casual, even a little messy.

Once there are outsiders involved, he is very informed and interesting.

Otherwise, Yang Huan would not have a close relationship with him personally.

"Who? Can you let your little Middle Eastern prince come out in person?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

The implication is that even you have come forward, can I not see you?

Hamad chuckled, "Actually you probably know Mubarak, the CEO of Manchester City."

"Is it him?" Yang Huan was taken aback.

Mubarak has met several times, the most recent of which was at the Premier League presidential summit, but there was basically no exchange.

How could this very low-key Manchester City leader come to him suddenly?

Yang Huan felt a little strange in her heart, but she seemed to have guessed something vaguely.

Anyway, I was looking for Yang Huan at this time, nothing more than for those things!

"Master Huan, if you don't like seeing him, I will help you get back!" Hamad, the boy, was also righteous.

Yang Huan laughed, "What's the answer? Bring him here!"

"Okay, hehe, we will be there in an hour!"

Dare to love, they are in London!

After Yang Huan hung up the phone, he looked at Peter Kenyon and talked about Mubarak.

"He came at this time for nothing more than two purposes, one is a transfer, and the other is the International Champions Cup."

With the confirmation of Manchester United, the eight group places in the first International Champions Cup will be the last one.

The external media also attaches great importance to this event, and the organizers have been revealing news intentionally or unintentionally.

Now for the last place, it is generally considered to be one of Milan and Chelsea.

In Yang Huan's view, the scores of these two teams are a bit bigger.

Really can't agree, Manchester City is not bad, the influence of this team in the United States is not bad.

While waiting, Yang Huan made a special call to Zhuang Zicheng.

Hacker boy is now Yang Huan's personal information station, and there is almost no information he can't find.

I don’t know if I check it, I’m surprised when I check it.

Everyone knows that the boss behind Manchester City is Al Fahim, a member of the royal family of Abu Dhabi and the helm of the Abu Dhabi consortium, who is incredibly valuable.

But I am afraid that few people know that Mubarak, who was appointed by Al Fahim as the chairman of Manchester City, actually has another identity, that is, the chairman of the board of directors of Abu Dhabi Mudala.

Mudala Development Company is one of the main investment departments of the UAE government. It has a very wide range of business and is in charge of more than 50 billion US dollars of wealth. The investment scope includes new energy and technology fields.

Yang Huan smiled bitterly.

Damn you, the local tyrants in the Middle East are really not average, and they are tens of billions of dollars at every turn. Let people live?

The small Abu Dhabi is so amazing. In addition to these two consortia, there is also an even more amazing Abu Dhabi Investment Authority with assets of more than 600 billion US dollars. It is amazing to think about it.

But, what about money?

Really encountered something, don't you have to take the initiative to find the door?

Just when Yang Huan was a little proud, Hamad and Mubarak had already arrived.

The chairman of Manchester City is actually very young. He looks only in his thirties. He wears a pair of gentle and elegant glasses. He has the temperament of a scholar, and he can't connect with the big Middle Eastern tyrants in his mind.

If nothing else, Hamad is inferior to Mubarak in temperament.

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan!"

"Hello, Mr. Mubarak!"

After the two shook hands, and after a few words of kindness, everyone sat down.

"Mr. Yang Huan, when I came here just now, I made a special trip to the Royal Wharf in Southampton. The new stadium for your saints is amazing and awesome!" Mubarak gave Yang a full as soon as he came up. Happy face.

"Thank you, I also learned about the design of your new training base in Manchester. It is very, very good!"

Manchester City's stadium is not bad, but the training base is old and rotten.

Coincidentally, Manchester City's training base is in Carrington, next door to Manchester United.

Relatively speaking, Manchester City's training base is obviously inferior to Manchester United.

Therefore, Mubarak has always hoped to rebuild an advanced training base.

But if Yang Huan remembers correctly, it seems that this matter is not going well either. It was blocked by a nail house who is a Manchester United fan. He did not start until 2014 when he crossed.

"You tell me, Mr. Yang Huan, I came this time for two purposes."

Yang Huan nodded non-committal.

"The first purpose is to learn. Although we entered the football field earlier than you, we won the league championship last season, but we found that in many ways, we are not as good as Southampton."

This is also true!

To give the simplest example, Southampton won the Europa League last season, not only igniting the team, but also because of Tony Cross's comeback at a critical moment, it ignited Chinese medicine and massage.

As soon as the media excavated after the game, the Southampton player data analysis and research system also caught fire.

Manchester City has invested heavily in data analysis since 2009, but in fact, the output is very unsatisfactory.

But Southampton has created such an amazing result, let alone Manchester City. The entire European football scene is full of curiosity about this mysterious system, and they are all wondering, is it really that amazing?

As everyone knows, they are also studying data analysis, but the power given to researchers by Manchester City is far inferior to Southampton.

In the Saints, whether players can play or how long they will play, Satoy and others have an important say.

But in Manchester City, their data analysis team looks more like an aid to come and go.

Moreover, Yang Huan also gave the data analysis team maximum support, asking for money, asking people, and even when he encountered a problem, he waved his hand and the whole team had to cooperate.

This is something Manchester City can't do!

Therefore, when Mubarak proposed that he hoped to arrange people to study and at the same time introduce Southampton's research results, Yang Huan agreed without hesitation.

If you want to learn, I will teach it. As for whether you can learn well, it depends on your own ability!

Mubarak originally worried that this matter would not be so easy, but he did not expect Yang Huan to be so bold.

Therefore, the Emirati are not stingy, saying that when they cooperate in this area, they will definitely not let Southampton suffer.

The implication is that our technology and equipment are not good, but the money is a lot, don't worry, you will just charge the price at that time!

"I have another purpose when I go south this time, which is to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Yang Huan."

"Oh?"

"I heard that Mr. Yang Huan is actively planning for the International Champions Cup."

"Hmm!" Yang Huan nodded, looking very candid.

With such a bold promise to cooperate with Manchester City before, it makes people feel that he is very sincere and sincere to make friends.

"I wonder if you are interested in finding a sponsor?"

"Several companies are in contact." Yang Huan replied indifferently.

"Then it hasn't been settled yet!" Mubarak chuckled.

Yang Huan did not deny it, nodded and said: "It's almost."

"We at Etihad Aviation are very interested in developing the American market in the next few years. We hope to be able to name this event."

"Timing?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

Is it really so easy to make money for oil mining in the Middle East?

"We are willing to provide an annual naming fee of 20 million euros to become the largest sponsor of this event for five years!"

The so-called naming rights, to put it bluntly, means that the sponsor’s name must be added to the front when promoting the event.

In other words, after accepting sponsorship, the International Champions Cup has to be renamed the Itihad International Champions Cup.

And the organizer will no longer accept sponsorships from other airlines or even railways and other similar companies.

Yang Huan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Five years is too long, at most three years!"

"Three years?" Mubarak was a little surprised.

Is Yang Huan so confident in the promotion of this event?

"Let me tell you that, in my opinion, three years have been a very friendly price. I have made preparations for this event for a full year. I am confident that I can ignite the American football in July and August this year. city!"

This period of time happens to be the idle period of American games. Football and NBA games are all in the suspension stage. Only Major League Baseball still has games, but in the eyes of young fans, baseball is no longer attractive.

Therefore, football exerts its strength in this period of time, just to fill this gap.

In Yang Huan's view, the market is already there, and it depends on whether you can get it to work.

In Mubarak's view, Yang Huan is too confident as a young man.

Even, they are overconfident!

You know, the sponsorship fee of 20 million euros a year is already quite high for a newly launched event.

If it weren't for the participation of giant teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, if it wasn't for Yang Huan and Miracle Media's ability to operate, Mubarak would definitely not make such a decision.

Unexpectedly, Yang Huan should have such confidence!

interesting!

"I still have the last place in my hand, if Manchester City are interested, I can participate!"

Yang Huan threw a piece of fat again.

For Manchester City, even if they have won a league title, in the eyes of everyone, he is still a rich and upstart.

So the most important thing Manchester City needs to do now is to accumulate.

mingling with a group of top giants is undoubtedly a great opportunity to establish their position.

Thinking of this, Mubarak had to sigh in his heart.

The same is the acquisition of the team, the same is the big money, but Yang Huan has broken up the relationship, broken up the contacts, and has faintly entered the core circle of European professional football. Yang Huan himself has also entered the upper-class British social circle. .

But Manchester City has been excluded from the perimeter from beginning to end, as if it were an ATM for other teams.

And this time, there is no doubt that it is a very good opportunity to integrate into the core circle of European football.

So, this time Manchester City can only be a little brother for Southampton, following the Saints!

"Okay, it's only three years, but I want your promise. If you can put this event into operation within three years, we will re-negotiate the naming fee. At the same price, we have priority. As for Manchester City, we will definitely participate. !"

Mubarak seemed very bold and made a decision on the spot.

This is like the chairman of a large consortium that controls tens of billions of dollars!

"Okay, let's make a decision!" Yang Huan didn't talk too much, and agreed directly.

With a naming fee of 20 million euros, at least I can lose a little bit less.

And this is just the beginning.

There are more places where you can sponsor sponsors. Take your time, don’t worry!
