This high-level meeting held in Longhai lasted a full day.
The atmosphere of the meeting was very warm, and every participant was free to speak and express their opinions.
There are all experienced European clubs who are at the helm of real power. What is being discussed now is closely related to their future. Therefore, everyone has put out their own skills to help their team. Strive for more benefits.
This is also normal.
Although it is a group operation, each team is a subsidiary.
As the leaders of these subsidiaries, they naturally hope that their company can develop better.
This is also more able to bring out their ability and ability, right?
Moreover, even after the group operation, the clubs still have considerable autonomy, and there are still too many things to discuss. Only managers like them who are truly involved in the management of the team can dig out. So many potential problems, and after discussion, a solution was quickly given.
The busiest person in the whole meeting was the female secretary in charge of recording.
One person is simply unable to handle the heated discussions and disputes of so many people.
Finally, Yang Huan had to ask Sun Yue to find someone temporarily and added three more minutes of the meeting.
In addition to controversies at the competitive level, there are also big controversies at the commercial level.
With the success of the Southampton Glory Plaza project, several teams under Yang Huan are full of ideas to imitate the Saints' business methods.
The new stadiums of Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are about to be completed, especially Inter Milan.
According to the promise made by Yang Huan, the new stadium will be officially completed before the Milan Expo. At that time, tourists from all over the world will gather in Milan. This is definitely a godsend opportunity for Inter Milan.
Fasone is a good player in running the stadium. He has even begun to prepare the business plan for the new stadium of Inter Milan, especially in attracting investment.
But now, in order to operate as a group, how to distribute the management rights of the stadium is a problem.
According to the simplest way, it is to fight separately, which is the most trouble-free.
But is this a good solution?
The answer is not necessarily!
This is a bit like the difference between large chain home appliance stores and small stores all over the country.
Yes, some small stores are indeed very prosperous. They even sell better than chain stores in the area, and things are sold cheaper than chain stores, but are they competitive?
You know, things in hypermarkets are expensive, and that is one of their strategies.
With the sales ability of the hypermarkets, the strong negotiating ability when purchasing goods with the distributors is absolutely impossible for a small store to have in their lifetime. They can reduce the purchase price to an incredible level.
Even when it comes to the holidays, they have enough ability to ask distributors to reduce profits, cooperate with them to boost sales, and then reduce the discount to the lowest. This is certainly not available in small stores.
Therefore, according to Yang Huan's vision, since it is a group operation, then the commercial resources of each team should be integrated, including sponsors and the internal stadium, as well as the operation of the commercial ecosystem around the stadium.
Because of this, the group will have more say when negotiating with sponsors and businesses.
This time, the four teams of Southampton, Inter Milan, Monaco and Atletico Madrid have joined forces and signed heavy sponsorship contracts with a number of large consortia including Nike and Qatar Airways. The overall negotiated sponsorship fee is higher than that of individual Negotiations are even higher, and even Ligue 1 teams like Monaco are enjoying premium treatment.
This shows that integration is competitive!
But from the perspective of the club operator, it is indeed a bit troublesome.
Because this time it’s chest advertising and jersey sponsorship, both of which are the main sponsors. That’s better, because the two or three sponsorships are all expensive and easier to allocate.
But if it involves small sponsorships, or brand licensing, it's a headache.
Moreover, how the benefits are distributed will not be so simple.
Furthermore, as a club operator, if everything is integrated into it, they will not have much autonomy in their hands. This is not necessarily a good thing for running a football team.
Yang Huan sat in the conference room, listening very attentively, but also very big head.
Because there are too many trivial details involved and too much distribution of benefits.
This is not a question of who makes sense and who has no reason.
It's that everyone makes sense!
This is very difficult!
Therefore, after a whole day of discussion, Yang Huan finally had to stand up and reiterate that group operation is imperative, and integration of resources in all aspects must be done. There will be difficulties, but not because of difficulties. Just hold back.
Therefore, Yang Huan proposed the integration strategy of grasping the big and letting go of the small, and the easy first and then the difficult.
Just like this time the main sponsors of the four teams are well integrated and the negotiations are also very smooth. It can be said that everyone is happy!
Finally, the first high-level meeting ended with Yang Huan's strong statement.
After the meeting, Yang Huan hosted a banquet in his hotel to entertain everyone.
…………
…………
"Huh, Niangxipi, it's more tired than playing a game!"
Yang Huan sat down on the sofa in the room and exhaled heavily.
After a whole day of meetings, I have to deal with the drinking of those guys again. Fortunately, he is not drunk for a thousand glasses. If not, I am afraid that he would have been drinking and getting down.
Sun Yue and Zhao Yuanfang both followed Master Huan in, and sat on the opposite sofa. Seeing Master Huan’s appearance, they all felt funny, as if they were saying, Master Huan, you finally understand our hard work, right?
"Master Huan, how about I double-click for you to stay alive?" Sun Yue said with a smile.
"Eh, no need!" Yang Huan immediately woke up, "Just your rough hands, I will let you press it, isn't that a living suffering?"
With that said, I couldn't help but think of the small steps at home. If she was there, double-click, how comfortable?
"By the way, Lao Zhao, how is your progress going?"
Sun Yue couldn't help laughing as soon as he heard that Young Master Huan was called Lao Zhao.
Zhao Yuanfang was depressed. He felt like Sun Yue was teasing him. You also deserve the surname Zhao?
"Master Huan, next time, call me Yuanfang!" Zhao Yuanfang said aggrievedly.
"I rub, you think I am Di Renjie, but Yuanfang!" Yang Huan laughed and scolded again.
At this moment, Sun Yue laughed even more brazenly.
But this is just a joke in private. After a laugh, it comes to the topic.
"Master Huan, the stocks of Benfica and Ajax have basically been wiped out. Now there are only a few major shareholders left. In addition, we are also actively contacting the Amsterdam city government, hoping to acquire Ajax. All the remaining shares of the Reina Stadium will also facilitate our future transformation."
Unlike many people think, Ajax’s home stadium, Arenal, is not entirely owned by Ajax.
Even, Ajax only holds 13% of Arenal Stadium.
The real major shareholder is the City of Amsterdam!
Moreover, at present, a prosperous business circle has formed around Arenal Stadium, and the surrounding supporting facilities are also owned by Arenal Stadium. Therefore, according to Yang Huan's meaning, it must be taken all.
"Very good, it must be done as soon as possible!" Yang Huan still trusts Zhao Yuanfang's ability.
"Oh, yes, the land around Detok Most will also be taken, and the training base expansion is imperative."
Ajax’s training base is near the Arenal Stadium, but the area is small. In recent years, there have been no outstanding players. Once Yang Huan takes over, Ajax will definitely become a group to train young players. Important base.
In this case, the expansion of Detok Most is imperative.
Moreover, after Zhao Yuanfang's field investigation and investigation and research, I feel that the open space between Arenal Stadium and Detok Most along both sides of the urban main road has great development potential and can be used for development.
In the past few years, the Kingdom of Windmills Holland has always been a place that Chinese tourists like to go very much. The number of tourists has increased year by year. In 2013, about 250,000 people went to Holland, and the number of tourists is still high. Under development.
In recent years, Chinese companies have also made investments in the Netherlands quite frequently. Especially this year, it is estimated that nearly 200 companies will invest in the Netherlands, and more than 500 Chinese companies will settle in the Netherlands.
It is completely predictable that Chinese tourists to the Netherlands will become more frequent in the next few years.
Although the Netherlands has several airports, long-distance flights will only stop at Amsterdam’s international airport.
Arenal Stadium is not far from the international airport and is located in the southern part of Amsterdam. The transportation is very convenient. Both the geographical location and the development potential are quite good.
"In addition, the acquisition of Benfica has almost proceeded, and only one or two shareholders are still negotiating, but I believe the problem is not very big, because Benfica itself also agreed to be acquired by us, so..."
Zhao Yuanfang's words gave Yang Huan another reassurance.
Because of the Portuguese language, the Portuguese Super League has a natural attraction to players from South American countries.
Winning Benfica is tantamount to making a strong stroke for Yang Huan's European football picture.
And what’s more interesting is that among the teams in the hands of Yang Huan, in addition to Southampton, Monaco and Atletico Madrid, there are also Belgium’s Anderlecht, Czech Republic’s Sparta Prague, and Switzerland’s Basel, Portugal's Benfica, and the upcoming Ajax have all reached the Champions League.
Except for Sparta Prague who needs to play the fourth round of qualifying, all other teams directly enter the group stage.
In other words, at least one or two million euros will start!
This is also what Yang Huan heard from many managements in the meeting just now, that is how to ensure the competitiveness of the team in their respective leagues and continue to enter the group stage of the Champions League.
And Yang Huan also promised that the group will invest a sum of money to improve the training bases, stadiums and supporting commercial facilities around the stadiums. The competitiveness of the team.
Therefore, after the implementation of the group operation, the overall situation is thriving.
"Okay, very good!" Yang Huan nodded unceasingly after hearing Zhao Yuanfang's report.
"Yuanfang You have to complete this matter as soon as possible. It is already early August. There is not much time until the end of the transfer period, so we must be fast. Let them submit the signings. Come over with a list and tell them that it is mainly young players."
Yang Huan’s positioning for Ajax and other teams was originally focused on cultivating young players.
Therefore, he does not expect these teams to produce results. Even, to some extent, whether they can reach the Champions League is not the focus. How to control the team's operating costs and cultivate more talents is the key. .
As for money, just selling a single player in the top league is enough for them to operate for a year.
Therefore, Yang Huan didn't take it seriously.
At this moment, someone rang the doorbell outside the hotel room.
"Who?" Sun Yue was a little strange, and immediately got up and walked over to open the door.
It's so late, who else will come?
