The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 423
Ye Qiu chose to meet the guests from Brazil at Theobald Training Base, because this is currently the only place Tottenham Hotspur can offer, and the club is currently in partnership with the London City Government, the Olympic Organizing Committee and the legacy company. Urgent negotiations are underway, because the main venue for the Olympic Games has entered the substantive planning stage.

After entering the substantive planning stage, if Tottenham Hotspur has not been able to negotiate with all parties, then the main Olympic stadium will definitely be designed and built in the way of track and field stadiums. If Tottenham Hotspur wants to renovate It will cost at least 1 million to [-] million euros to become a professional football stadium. If other costs are added, it is tantamount to letting Tottenham Hotspur rebuild their own football stadium.

Therefore, Ye Qiu has clearly issued an ultimatum to the London City Government and all parties involved in the Olympic Games. Either talk now or not in the future. He will withdraw from the competition for the main Olympic venue. The committee will just have to wait and see how to clean up the mess.

During the construction period, it received [-] million euros of financial support. After the construction, no one could take over, and it cost nearly [-] million euros a year to maintain the venue and hire personnel. These accounts are enough to discourage all parties involved.

Wembley Stadium's criminal record is just around the corner. In the three years since the construction of the new Wembley Stadium, in addition to the construction cost of the stadium, the FA spent an additional 300 million euros per month, and the money was used to pay the staff. salaries, and other expenses.

In fact, anyone with investment intentions will be welcomed now, and even West Ham United’s proposal to prepare for a loan, and a London university football club to save even the rent and plan to empty-handed the White Wolf’s proposal have all been taken seriously. , perhaps for Londoners, Tottenham Hotspur's proposal is the most in line with their needs and ideas, the only trouble is only two.

One is that Ye Qiu is not British, but Chinese; the other is that Ye Qiu asked to transfer a piece of land at the southeast end of the stadium to Tottenham Hotspur for free, and the team will build a shopping complex here. It is a five-star hotel integrating entertainment, entertainment and leisure, and it is adjacent to the financial district. After the Olympic Games, it will be transformed into a park, with great potential for appreciation.

There is no free lunch in this world. Ye Qiu paid 2013 million euros in advance for the construction of the stadium, and at the same time took the initiative to bear all the expenses for the stadium renovation after the Olympics. It may take longer for the stadium to be officially put into use, and it may take longer for a five-star hotel, so Ye Qiu didn't take advantage of it.

Of course, it depends on the angle of analysis. From the perspective of Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, [-] million will get a stadium with a capacity of about [-]. It is located in the heart of London with convenient transportation. Adjacent to the financial district, no matter from which point of view, there are great benefits.

As for the cost of future reconstruction, if it is considered at the early stage of design that it will be transformed into a professional football field in the future, the cost is actually not high, 2000 million euros is enough. This was the case with Manchester City’s City Stadium back then, and it was considered at the early stage of design. , the future renovation cost will be more than 1000 million euros, which is not high.

At the same time, the land in the southeast can be used to build hotels and shopping malls. Although this amount of money will continue to be invested, it will definitely make money in the long run. After all, Tottenham Hotspur can find someone to cooperate with. Do whatever is necessary.

Therefore, from an operational development point of view, Tottenham Hotspur have made money, and they have made a lot of money.

But it must also be said that now in the Premier League, who is willing to spend [-] million euros at a time in exchange for a stadium that will not be usable until six years later?Even Abramovich has begun to reduce team investment this season. Arsenal already has its own stadium, so in London, only Tottenham Hotspur have such ambition and courage.

This is why the outside world, whether it is the media or fans, is full of confidence in the future of Tottenham Hotspur.

Ye Qiu has such an ambition because he not only made a fortune in Leaf Technology, but also made a huge fortune in the U.S. stock market. Besides continuing to invest in Leaf Technology, In addition to Google's stock and other aspects, he also included Tottenham Hotspur in the plan.

Last season, Tottenham Hotspur's overall business was very healthy. The team prepared to build a new stadium, but also received a large amount of sponsorship money, especially the team finally reached the top three in the league. Bian received a large share of broadcast fees, making the club's finances relatively healthy, which is also related to the team's relatively low salary structure.

This year's salary pressure will be greater than last season. After all, many players have raised their salaries, and they have increased a lot. However, with the improvement of the team's performance, commercial income has also increased. After the Champions League, I believe the team's operations will continue to be healthy and there will be no debts.

As for Theobald training base, last season's investment was drawn from the surplus in the transfer market. If the transfer can be reached, there is no problem at all with Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer fee to fill the funding gap in the training base.

And both Vodafone and Adidas have made it clear that if Tottenham Hotspur can continue to perform at the high level of last season this season, they will not rule out further cooperation with Tottenham Hotspur.

At present, Adidas has tailored a new season's new jersey for Tottenham Hotspur. It will only be announced after the new season's training camp. At the same time, it will also accept fans to buy in all Adidas stores around the world. Tottenham Hotspur can also get a share from it.

You know, there is a money-absorbing machine like Beckham in the team, and jersey sales will definitely bring in a lot of money, and other players in the team are also very popular with fans. I believe Tottenham Hotspur’s jersey sales The situation may not be comparable to the giants like the Galaxy Battleship of the past, but it is also capable of entering the top ranks.

After all, in the past season, when looking at the football pages of major European mainstream media, there was news about Tottenham Hotspur almost every day, and many of them were carried out by Tottenham Hotspur on their own initiative. cooperation, which makes Tottenham Hotspur's exposure rate even higher than that of many wealthy teams.

This is a kind of accumulation. As long as Tottenham Hotspur's performance improves, coupled with the fans' attention in exchange for long-term and continuous exposure, the accumulation will surely make Tottenham Hotspur's stable growth. Step by step towards the ranks of the rich.

This time, Neymar's family of four made a special trip from Brazil to London. The air tickets and expenses were paid by Tottenham Hotspur.

Neymar's father was also a professional player, but he has always played in the Brazilian second division. He was a striker, but because of a car accident, he broke his leg and ended his career at the age of 32. He put all his energy on his son, hoping to train his son to be the best player.

This is also what Ye Qiu has always felt, that is, many outstanding superstars have received formal training since childhood, laid a very solid foundation, and then cultivated an outstanding sense of the ball, and obtained it after hard training and continuous improvement.

For example, Robben's father is a professional coach who has carved out his son's technical details since he was a child. Therefore, Robben's ball sense and pace are almost impeccable. The same is true for Neymar. His father is a professional player, so he naturally understands these.

In 2006, they went to Real Madrid for trial training and passed, but the elder Neymar was dissatisfied with Real Madrid's arrogant attitude and his lack of attention to his son, coupled with Santos' retention, he finally decided to stay in Brazil.

It's just that they didn't expect that they came to Europe again a year later, and this time there was no trial training.

Because the reason why the old Neymar decided to bring his son to London was a very detailed career plan handed over by Ye Qiu through Tottenham Hotspur's agent in Brazil, with a total of more than fifty pages. The scouts' analysis and evaluation of Neymar's training and games, as well as his detailed planning for his future.

Coupled with the fact that Ye Qiu has always had the reputation of being one of the best in cultivating stars in the world, it finally contributed to the old Neymar's decision to bring his family to London to have a look.

When they entered the Theobald training base, they were really overwhelmed by the club's generosity.

Although they were just sitting in the car, they were very impressed with this magnificent training base, which can be called the world's first, especially considering that Ye Qiu has only just taken over Tottenham Hotspur for a year, and from this training base they can also See the ambitions of Tottenham Hotspur.

But this is only a preliminary impression. When they entered the first-team training area that has already been put into use, and then visited the various facilities of Theobald Training Base, they were all amazed at the perfection and advanced facilities of this training base, and even There are a lot of training methods that they have never seen before.

As a former professional player, Neymar Sr. knows better than anyone else the role of these facilities and how much they can help players.

"No wonder he is successful wherever he goes!" Neymar Sr. sighed to his family in Portuguese.

Neymar, who is only 15 years old, has a shaved head. This has always been his habit. The old Neymar’s family education is very strict. Even though Neymar has a salary in Santos, he still manages his son strictly. Every income and expenditure, and even strictly limit his pocket money.

Even the Zeus mobile phone that Neymar is holding in his hand is after begging his father for a long time, and the two parties agreed that he must score [-] goals in a season for the youth team before agreeing to buy it for him. This is Neymar's treasure.

After visiting Theobald's training base, Roland took the old Neymar's family to the training building. At this time, Ye Qiu and Eliza Moon had already arrived at Theobald's training base from White Hart Lane.

"Hello, Mr. Da Silva!" Ye Qiu politely shook hands with old Neymar.

Old Neymar's name is the same as Neymar's, Neymar Da Silva, but according to the Brazilians' name, he should be called Neymar I, but Ye Qiu definitely can't call him that.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu!" Old Neymar shook hands with Ye Qiu politely, and at the same time introduced his wife, son and daughter.

After exchanging a few casual greetings downstairs, Ye Qiu went upstairs with old Neymar and Roland, while Eliza accompanied Neymar and his mother and sister around. In fact, almost everything about Neymar Everything is in the hands of his father.

He is a person who is cautious and at the same time attaches great importance to his family!

This is Ye Qiu's impression of old Neymar conveyed to Ye Qiu by his scouts in Brazil.

"Pai!" Before Neymar left, he turned his head, glanced at Ye Qiu shyly, shouted at his father, and then swiped his hands in front of him, meaning that Ye Qiu and others couldn't see him. I understand, only his mother and sister are smiling.

Old Neymar nodded with a chuckle, and then Neymar quickly turned around and caught up with his mother.

"What a shy child!" Ye Qiu boasted with a smile.

The old Neymar nodded, "He is still very immature, so we don't worry about him leaving home too far alone."

After a pause, the old Neymar smiled at Ye Qiu again: "He is your fan, look at his mobile phone, just now he asked me to remember to ask you for an autograph for him, I hope Mr. mind!"

After hearing this, Ye Qiu laughed, and Roland beside him also laughed. This kind of scene is not uncommon. Ye Qiu's fans are even more than many big-name superstars. A lot of people who don't even understand the rules of football is his fan.

"Is it just an autograph? I'm going to take a photo with him!" Ye Qiu laughed.

A group of three people came to the head coach's office on the second floor. It is not small, but not large. It is divided into an office and a room, with a partition in the middle.

"I also agree with what you said just now, Mr. Da Silva!" Ye Qiu just sat down and talked about Neymar straight to the point, "First of all, the Brazilian Football Association now prohibits the following players from transferring to Europe. There are ways to avoid it, but it is difficult for him to apply for a labor certification in the Premier League for the time being."

Old Neymar knew that what Ye Qiu said was true.

"But we are very sincere to Neymar, and we have already had contact with Santos. I believe you know this. We hope to buy out Neymar's ownership first, but still loan him to Santos and continue to play in Brazil. , until the right time, come to the Premier League!"

"Of course, we hope that Neymar can come to London to participate in the team's training and joint training every season. I believe this can ensure that he will adapt to the Premier League and integrate into our team in the future. Arrange technicians to conduct professional analysis and guidance on him to ensure his growth and progress to the greatest extent."

"We will specially arrange scouts to inspect each of his games and submit game reports, and we will also arrange technical personnel to go to Brazil every month to assist him, help him improve, and improve some problems and shortcomings, Of course, all of this will be done in a low-key manner so as not to disturb you."

For Santos, Tottenham Hotspur have already negotiated. At that time, the team will still pay a training fee according to Neymar's situation. Now the transfer fee for introducing Neymar is 300 million euros, a one-time payment. This is indeed very high for a child who is only 15 years old, but it is also enough to show Ye Qiu's appreciation and affirmation of Neymar.

After pausing for a while, so that old Neymar could digest his words well, and at the same time clear his mind, Ye Qiu continued to speak out his plan further.

"I heard that Mr. Da Silva established NR Sports Agency in Brazil?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

This question immediately made old Neymar feel embarrassed. He shook his head and said: "It's just a registered company, an empty shell. Now all the employees are our family. There is nothing to say."

Of course, Ye Qiu knew the current situation of this company, and smiled, "Brazil's economy has grown by leaps and bounds in the past few years, and it ranks among the BRIC countries. It is also developing at a high speed, and I believe that in the next few years, the value of Brazilian players will rise accordingly."

In the past, the reason why Brazilian players were cheap was mainly because of poverty in Brazil. However, Brazil’s economy has grown by leaps and bounds in the past few years. Now it has been called the BRIC countries together with China, India and Russia. The future development potential is very large, and the 2014 World Cup The right to host the event fell into the hands of South American countries.

In 2003, South American countries supported Brazil’s bid to host the 2014 World Cup. With Colombia announcing its withdrawal from the competition in April this year, Brazil has become the only applicant country for the 2014 World Cup. It is almost a sure thing. I believe that Brazil will The domestic football industry will also develop by leaps and bounds.

At present, Eliza's brokerage company is no longer just involved in the field of brokerage and business operations, but even involved in more sports fields, so the focus of the next development will be in London, England, because of the 2012 Olympic Games, one will be in the In Africa and the Middle East, because of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and the big conglomerates in the Middle East, there is also Brazil in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Of course, there is also Ye Qiu's base camp in Asia, especially China. They have established a Chinese official website, and also registered official Twitter and Chinese mobile phone applications and other publicity platforms.

Ye Qiu has always felt that African and South American players will play an increasingly important role in the four major European leagues. In fact, they are already very important now, but they will become more and more important in the future, especially in Africa.

As for the market, the Middle East and Asia have the greatest development potential, and the North American market is already huge.

"Our company also has quite a lot of business in Brazil. We will cooperate with many different companies. We are also very interested in cooperating with NR Sports Agency. After you go back to Brazil, our Brazilian branch will contact you. So here, I first wish us a happy cooperation!"

Ye Qiu's words surprised old Neymar. His company doesn't have any business at all now, but Eliza Moon's brokerage company is well-known and second to none in Europe, and has a lot of business in South America, especially In terms of business operation and advertising brokerage, it can be regarded as the largest large company in the Brazilian football industry.

Under such circumstances, no matter whether Neymar is brought under Ye Qiu's command, or his company cooperates with theirs, it is tantamount to a lucrative business for the old Neymar family, and he really has no way to refuse.

As for Ye Qiu, Brazil's sports industry market is too big, and his company can only be regarded as relatively strong in it. There is no problem at all in supporting old Neymar. Marr, besides, this is not doing business for him for no reason, and the old Neymar also has to work hard.

For Ye Qiu, this cooperation is a matter of little effort.

Moreover, the agent company is brewing and preparing for a big plan. Once it is implemented, it will not only cooperate with more people and more companies, but may even change the status quo of many agents and scouting circles.

Shocked by Ye Qiu's two moves in a row, old Neymar really couldn't refuse. He only made one request in the end, that is, not to let Neymar leave Brazil in a short period of time, and Ye Qiu didn't hesitate. promise.

Therefore, the two parties finally reached an agreement in just over half an hour.

And Neymar's family completed the negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur, accepted Ye Qiu's invitation, traveled in London for three days, and when they returned to Brazil, Tottenham Hotspur's transfer finally began to come to an end.
