Chapter 739： Master key

"Hello, Master Huan, welcome to Frankfurt, I am Thomas Lake from Deutsche Bank!"

At Frankfurt International Airport in Germany, Yang Huan had just stepped out of his private jet and set foot on German soil. A middle-aged German man in his forties and a well-dressed suit was greeted next to him.

"Hello, Thomas!" Yang Huan smiled and shook hands with him.

Long Wu, who was following Yang Huan, looked around after getting off the plane, full of alertness.

Kesh Harris was at the end. He saw Thomas Lake as soon as he got off the plane and walked up with a smile.

"Ha, Thomas, long time no see!"

"Long time no see, Keish!" Thomas Lake respected Yang Huan very much, but he seemed very familiar with Keish Harris.

Yang Huan waited until the two shook hands before asking with a smile, "Is anyone here?"

"Well, here it is!" Thomas Lake nodded.

"For the sake of confidentiality, I specially arranged for the Sheraton Hotel next to the Airport Building No.1, where there is a passage to enter the airport directly without passing through the lobby. In addition, I also booked half of the floor to ensure that no outsiders would be disturbed. !"

Yang Huan listened and immediately nodded and smiled, "Good job!"

For this kind of people who can handle things, he never hesitated to praise and affirm.

Thomas Lake immediately smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Master Huan!"

After speaking, he turned and pointed to the northeast, "Come, please here!"

Yang Huan turned his head and glanced at the luxury private jet behind him. He had to sigh with emotion that there is a plane waiting for him all the time, which is convenient. The feeling is really sour.

It's okay, let's buy one by ourselves anytime!

The Boeing 757 behind him was owned by the Prime Minister of Qatar. After being brought to London by Hamad, it happened that Yang Huan had something to come to Germany and wanted to keep it secret, so he borrowed it and used it. It felt very good.

It’s just that the flight attendants on the plane are not beautiful enough. If you can ask some itchy flight attendants to wait on it...

Wow, I think it's enjoyable!

Thomas Lake accompanied Yang Huan and the others to the reception car at the airport. Within two minutes, he arrived at an internal passage.

After passing the passage, you directly entered the Sheraton Hotel, and the whole process was unimpeded.

This also made Yang Huan look at Thomas Lake's eyes quite differently.

On the sixth floor, Yang Huan and others, accompanied by Thomas Lake, entered a spacious luxurious suite.

"Master Huan, you take a break here first. I will arrange a meeting room and let him know by the way. The meeting will be held in half an hour. Look, okay?" Thomas Lake asked.

Yang Huan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, half an hour!"

"Good!" Thomas Lake turned and left.

Yang Huan looked at his back and nodded, "Kesh, how is this person?"

Keish Harris followed Master Huan's gaze and looked at him, "Master Huan, you said Thomas?"

"Ok!"

"Thomas Lake, thirty-nine years old, graduated from the University of Frankfurt, Germany. A native of Frankfurt, he first worked for Allianz Group after graduation, but moved to PricewaterhouseCoopers a year later."

"I worked in the consulting department of PricewaterhouseCoopers for five years and was promoted to senior manager. Because of his outstanding performance during the work period, he was hired by Deutsche Bank to hold important positions and have been working until now."

After Yang Huan listened, he knew it.

With this resume, Thomas Lake is simply perfect!

Whether it is Allianz Group, PricewaterhouseCoopers or Deutsche Bank, they are all well-known international companies.

Just because Thomas Lake can achieve results in these three big companies, it is not difficult to see that this guy is a talent!

"Help me pay attention to him!" Yang Huan exhorted.

Kesh Harris nodded immediately.

Young Master Huan said that he should pay attention, so he must use all the resources at his disposal to "pay attention". If possible, he should have several girlfriends and worked several times a week, and all investigations are clear.

Twenty minutes later, Thomas Lake reappeared in Yang Huan's room.

With him, there was a middle-aged German in his early fifties.

This man who is easily impressed has long hair that is completely incompatible with his age or even with this era. He has a round face and a standard body, but it sets off his head. a bit large.

Anyone who sees him can easily remember him, but he does not know him at all.

His name is Dietmar Beiersdorf.

what? never heard of that?

Is this normal?

Yang Huan had never heard of it either. If it weren't for the recommendation of the team behind him, he wouldn't even know this person.

However, according to intelligence, Dietmar Beiersdorf was a well-known defender in the Bundesliga in the early 1990s. He first played for Hamburg, but then he switched to Hamburg’s arch-rival Werder Bremen. Werder Bremen reached the pinnacle of his career and won a Bundesliga championship.

Like many celebrities, after retiring, Dietmar Beiersdorf transferred to the management team and served as the football director of the Hamburg team from 2003 until 2009.

During his time in charge of Hamburg, the performance of this northern German team has always been in the upper middle and upper reaches of the Bundesliga, but in the years since his departure, the team's performance has gone from bad to worse.

On the other hand, Beiersdorf, whether it is Red Bull in Leipzig or Zenit in Russia, the work ability is worthy of recognition.

After learning about Beiersdorf's resume, Yang Huan was not surprised why his people would recommend him.

Because he really needs someone who is very familiar with Bundesliga and Hamburg to help him!

Therefore, as soon as they saw the two walk in, Yang Huan immediately stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Dietmar!"

"Hello, Master Huan!"

After a few people sat down as the subject and the guest, Yang Huan talked about his plan straightforwardly.

"I think Thomas should have told you about specific things!"

When he said this, Yang Huan looked at Thomas. The latter put on a pair of glasses. Seeing Yang Huan's questioning eyes, he nodded immediately, indicating that he had already mentioned Beiersdorf.

"Yes, Master Huan!" Beiersdorf also nodded, "but I must say that it is very, very difficult!"

Yang Huan understands, "It is normal to have difficulties. I am not interested in things that are too difficult!"

Beiersdorf thought for a while, “After communicating with Thomas, I made a special flight to Hamburg before coming to Frankfurt. I talked to the club’s chairman Kerhof, some directors, and the fan organization. The situation in Hamburg has indeed been quite bad this season, and it is time to make changes!"

Yang Huan is not surprised at this, because the current Hamburg is still hovering in the relegation zone!

Thomas Lake, who had been just listening in silence, suddenly said at this time: "I don't know how they plan to deal with the team's 100 million euro debt?"

This problem can be described as hitting the nail on the head!

Yang Huan couldn't help but look at Thomas Lake, but found that the German seemed very calm, as if his question was not sharp at all, and as if he was expecting Beiersdorf's answer.

"They have explained this. In order to welcome the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Hamburg, with the strong support of the government, renovated the stadium. A total of 100 million euros were invested to turn the stadium into a modern stadium. In the past few years, the debt of signings, and now the team’s debt is close to 100 million euros."

Hearing this, Beiersdorf felt a little embarrassed himself.

Yang Huan smiled even more knowingly, this is close to 100 million, and there is still a difference between 100 million.

But the question is, how close is it?

According to the intelligence that Yang Huan got on hand, the accurate data should be 99.58 million euros, but this is the data at the end of 2013, and it is now in April 2014. , The interest generated in the past four months is enough to pile up this debt to over 100 million.

But Yang Huan was not interested in continuing to entangle on such side matters, "Go on!"

"Their plan is mainly divided into three steps. The first step is to reform the management, including inviting some former famous people into the management and participate in the daily management of the team!"

Hearing this, Yang Huan immediately sneered!

Throughout the entire European football world, as long as any team runs into problems and the team's performance drops into a trough, the first thing is to find famous places, as if famous places have become their master keys to solve all problems.

But if you look at it carefully, you will find that these are teams with very poor management and extremely chaotic management. On the contrary, those clubs that implement modern management will hardly allow famous players to enter the core management.

Of course, it does not rule out that people like Bayern Munich, Hernes, Rummenigge, and Beckenbauer are outstanding people in themselves, and at the same time they have received high-level professional education, plus Bayern Munich's entire set of professional management The management system has created Bayern Munich today.

But apart from Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid and other teams, which control the core position of the club's management, almost have no reputations in the past, because they need to be professional!

Beiersdorf also has a deep understanding of this. He also came from a football background, so naturally he knows that knowing how to play and managing a club is two different things!

From his retirement to his appointment as Hamburg Football Director, he has been self-improving, learning, and receiving professional education for the six years between his retirement. Because his life plan is to transfer to management, he needs to go Learn the cultural knowledge of these professions.

But even so, in the field of club operations, he is still a layman!

Therefore, Yang Huan is right, celebrities can only inject feelings into the club!

But the problem is, feeling this thing is not a panacea!

"The second trick is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but this is a long-term goal and cannot be achieved in the short term."

After a pause, Beiersdorf continued: "So, they need a third trick to attract investors and sell their club shares."

This is the real reason Yang Huan sits here!

Just kidding, in the Bundesliga with such strict rules and so many restrictions, if no club actively wants to sell, Yang Huan will not be able to buy it even if it is bullish, ruthless, and rich.

But now has a team to sell, he has a chance!

It can be said that Yang Huan didn't intend to enter the Bundesliga originally, but suddenly he heard that the burger was going to be sold, so he naturally moved.

As for the so-called 50 plus one policy, let's get rid of it!

I'm going bankrupt, and I'm going to be over, what are you talking about 50 plus one with me, isn't this nonsense?

Have the ability, your Football Association can help me solve my financial debts?

No way, is it possible that you have to watch me go bankrupt?

If you really do that, you can just leave me wherever you go, and don't come to mix my good deeds!

There is a good saying, flies don't bite seamless eggs.

Today's Hamburg is just a crack!

It's just that Yang Huan is not a fly that is done in one bite!
