"Welcome to the city of Monaco, Mr. Yang Huan!"
In the castle halfway up the mountain in Monaco, Prince Albert, accompanied by Michel Pastor, Udruchi and Piccinini, came to meet at the castle gate.
When Yang Huan got out of the car, he immediately shook hands with the Prince of Monaco, who had completely thanked him, and he was very polite.
But my heart was depressed, and I would not come to this place anyway.
The reason, it was a bit embarrassing to say it, because it turned out to be lost.
Even though Monaco is a small and small country, the so-called sparrow is small, but it has all the necessary things.
For example, the protection of royal family members is very important. Therefore, the entire city of Monaco has no GPS signal and is completely shielded. In addition, the houses here are densely built and the roads are winding. I had to admit it in this small labyrinth.
Therefore, at the moment when he saw Prince Xieding, Yang Huan smiled bitterly in his heart.
I won’t tell you if I am lost in your place, but I won’t be here again even if you find someone to invite me in a sedan chair!
On the surface, everyone still laughed and looked very polite to each other.
After entering the castle, Prince Albert would naturally take Yang Huan to take a good tour, look around, and introduce the princess and the children to meet, and finally came to a spacious oval meeting room.
"Mr. Huan Yang, I am very pleased to hear that your Young Group’s Yacht Club has a strong alliance with our Royal Yacht Club of Monaco, and I am very grateful to Sunseeker Yachts and Aston Martin for sponsoring our Royal Yacht Club!"
Prince Albert smiled happily.
This cooperation was reached last year. The Yang Group joined the Royal Yacht Club of Monaco. The two parties will cooperate to build top international high-end cities in five cities including Longhai, Jincheng, Ludao, Pengcheng and Sanya. Yacht Club.
In addition, the Young Group plans to build a world-leading luxury yacht club in Monaco. The project has been approved by the Monaco government. Both Sunseeker and Aston Martin will participate in this series of activities and projects.
Not only that, the Young Group also succeeded in acquiring a large piece of land in the golden zone, halfway up the mountainside of La Tilby, facing the Monaco training base, which will be used to build luxury residences. Customers mainly face Including rich people from China.
Yang Huan didn't have much interest in these commercial cooperations, and my father would specially arrange someone to follow up.
Therefore, after Yang Huan chatted with him without a word for a while, he immediately cut to the topic.
"His Royal Highness, the main purpose of my trip is to talk to you about the Monaco Club."
Prince Albert laughed after hearing this, "Mr. Yang Huan, to be honest, I am very grateful for your contribution to the Monaco Football Club. We are very satisfied with the current situation of the team. Please believe that we will remember you. contribution!"
Regarding these polite remarks, Yang Huan usually just listened to it.
"His Royal Highness, I'm glad to hear you say that!" Yang Huan smiled faintly, somewhat insulted.
"But I heard that there are people within the French Football Association who complain about us in Monaco."
Prince Albert was stunned for a while, then glanced at Michel Pastor and others, obviously smiling wryly.
"Unexpectedly, Mr. Yang Huan's news is so well informed!"
Yang Huan smiled silently, waiting for Prince Albert to speak himself.
"Yes, there are indeed people who think that Monaco's privileges should be restricted!" Prince Albert nodded.
"I believe Mr. Yang Huan must also know that the Hollande government will start to levy a new tax called the Special Mutual Aid Contribution Tax. This tax is levied on employees with an annual income of more than one million euros. The tax rate is about 50%. ."
According to the calculation of the financial staff of the Monaco club, once this tax rate is levied, players with an annual salary of more than one million euros will pay 75% of the tax.
In other words, any team that wants to pay a player an annual salary of 1 million euros after tax must be given a pre-tax salary of 1.75 million euros. This is simply the government robbing football clubs for money!
Because in all walks of life in France, most of the professional players, especially those in the Ligue 1 league, have an annual salary of more than one million euros. Once it is collected, that year will be more than 100 million!
This matter originally had nothing to do with Monaco, because even if it pays taxes, it is also a matter in France. As a foreign team, Monaco does not need to pay this tax.
In Monaco, a small pocket country, there is almost no personal income tax!
But within the French Football League, some people have proposed that Monaco's tax advantages must be limited, otherwise, Monaco's zero tax advantage will be enough to attract the world's largest superstars.
At that time, who can match the entire Ligue 1?
Prince Albert received the news only two days ago. Unexpectedly, Yang Huan came to the door in a blink of an eye.
It can be seen that Yang Huan is also a well-informed person!
"Mr. Yang Huan, can you talk about your specific thoughts?" Prince Albert asked.
Yang Huan still didn't show the slightest anxiety or an expression of anger, but still looked calm and calm, smiling slightly, and nodding towards Prince Albert.
"Yes, your Royal Highness, I personally think that imposing a high tax rate on the teams in the Ligue 1 will not benefit the entire league. It will only lead to more outstanding players and stardom to flee the Ligue 1 and make the whole league even better. Lack of competitiveness!"
Prince Albert and others all nodded together.
Believe this, the government and the French Football League must have considered it, but they still decided to levy.
After all, they are crazy!
But the Ligue 1 teams have recently made a lot of money, including a TV broadcast order of more than 400 million euros sent by Al Jazeera. This is tantamount to giving the Ligue 1 a big cake for nothing. They naturally want to share a drink. soup!
In the final analysis, it is still a question of how benefits are distributed!
"In the past few years, more and more foreign capital has entered the European league, first the Premier League, then La Liga, and now Ligue 1, I believe there will be Serie A in the future, and the benefits of foreign investment are obvious, especially like Southampton. The successive massive signings of teams such as, Chelsea and Manchester City, as well as the sensation they created, have greatly increased the influence of the league."
This remark was once again recognized by everyone present, because it is a fact!
As Yang Huan said before, the positioning of the club determines the success or failure of a team.
Some teams are born to win the championship, so they are willing to spend a lot of money to introduce stars to strengthen their competitiveness.
And some teams are for long-term and orderly healthy management, so they take the route of training players to sell human traffickers.
Other teams are purely for relegation.
Then, the emergence of teams like Southampton, Chelsea and Manchester City has brought a benefit.
First of all, the championship team feels the pressure, so it needs to strengthen signings, but because of the rich competitors, the difficulty of signings increases, the transfer fee also rises, so the selling team makes a profit!
Sell the star, get a generous transfer fee, introduce suitable semi-finished products, reprocess them, and then sell them at a high price when they become talents.
This has become the survival of many mid-lower league teams.
Just like Everton, Aston Villa, and even Tottenham Hotspur before, don’t they all follow this route?
Therefore, the emergence of foreign teams, as long as they are well guided, is beneficial to the entire league!
On the contrary, if foreign teams are restricted and foreign capital is restricted, is it good for the league?
Looking at the Bundesliga, why can Bayern Munich buy the entire Bundesliga?
Because they have the strongest financial resources, no one can compete with them!
So why does Bayern Munich have the strongest financial resources and so financially healthy?
To put it bluntly, the Bundesliga bans foreign investment and even capital operation!
The good name is that it suffered a big loss more than ten years ago, but isn't it necessary to restrict capital operation?
This is called abandoning food due to choking, not rational management!
Therefore, Yang Huan dared to conclude that the Bundesliga will continue to go this way, and in another ten, twenty, or even three years, apart from Bayern Munich, no team can keep up with the European powerhouses.
Why is Bayern Munich alone?
Because Bayern Munich treats the entire Bundesliga as its own youth training backyard.
This shows that closure is not feasible, only openness has a future!
Let me ask, if there is no opening in the early years, can the Premier League have the current influence?
"Then the problem is, whether it is foreign investment or domestic capital, any league wants to grow, it must rely on the stars, and the stars have to be paid high, and if there is no high salary, people will run. Therefore, this new tax Appeared, and completely eliminated the possibility of being a popular star in Ligue 1!"
When Yang Huan said this, he sneered slightly.
"The widow of the former Adidas president Dreyfus wants to sell Marseilles, the Lyon team, which has won seven consecutive championships, also expressed willingness to sell part of the equity, and Lille, Chairman Cedou publicly hawked, these all prove the future trend."
When Prince Albert heard this, he naturally understood what Yang Huan meant.
That is, Yang Huan is a new tax opposition outright!
"Mr. Yang Huan, I can understand your feelings, but this is French internal government affairs, I'm afraid..."
Yang Huan was waiting for this sentence and immediately said with a smile: "What about Monaco?"
"Monaco has no intention to levy new taxes!" Prince Albert explained quickly.
"But they want to limit Monaco's tax advantages, and they also require us to move our headquarters outside of Monaco in France!" Yang Huan said nonchalantly.
"This is impossible, absolutely not allowed!" Prince Albert was also anxious.
The Monaco Football Club has always been the exclusive team of the Monaco royal family, and even the team badge has a crown.
If this makes the Monaco Football Club leave Monaco, where will the royal family's face be put?
And in the past year Monaco has also seen a lot of improvement in operating the Louis II Stadium. If Monaco can perform well in Ligue 1 and Europe, it will definitely attract more fans. .
"So, my attitude towards the new tax is that they just collect it if they like it. It has nothing to do with us, because we belong to Monaco!"
These words made Prince Albert's heart warm.
This is what my family said!
"However, if the French Football League must require us to pay taxes according to their standards, then I will only make one choice!" Yang Huan said here, unusually sonorous and powerful.
Everyone on the scene immediately looked at Yang Huan together, and they have only discovered until now that this young man is really powerful once he starts to get angry.
I really agreed, the tiger doesn't show off, don't treat me as a sick cat!
And everyone is also curious, what exactly is Young Master Yang Huan's killer?
