The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 543 This is the rhythm of death!
In the past two or three seasons, the Hilton Park Lane Hotel in the east of Hyde Park in London, every last few days of the transfer period, will gather a large number of agents and club staff from all over the world.

All of them came here for one purpose, the Football Economic Forum!

The first football economic forum only accepted English teams to participate, the second quickly spread to the top five European leagues, and even included the Netherlands, Portugal and other second-tier leagues, and this year, the third, because of the accumulation of four games in the previous two years With the rich experience of the grand event, I finally decided to make a big one and directly open it to the outside world.

Hilton Hotel also took advantage of the cooperation with Moon Sports Services Company, so they also give maximum support to this football event held twice a year, because it is not just for them to attract customers , but also to start their popularity.

The size of the venue has changed from the first floor to the current three floors, and there is another floor dedicated to the Football Association and club offices, so there are four floors in total, of which the three floors are concentrated in the Hilton Hotel The three banquet hall floors can be accessed directly through the stairs, which is very convenient.

With the popularity of the football economic forum for two consecutive years, more and more media and fans are also paying attention to this feast. They will care about who can become the protagonist in the transfer market on the last day, who can Staged the final madness of the transfer market, and who on earth was able to make an upset shot at the last moment?
With the popularity of the Football Economic Forum, the player database has also spread its business to the whole world in just three years. Fun, right?
Do you know?In the past three years, the player database has attracted a total of more than 3000 registered users. That is to say, the income from membership fees alone has exceeded [-] million euros a year, because there are so many agents in the world, so many Professional clubs, so many sponsors and football practitioners, they all hope to climb this platform.

It is difficult to calculate exactly what kind of impact the emergence of the Football Economic Forum and the player database has had on the entire football industry, but everyone can clearly see that even if summer transfers and winter break transfers are very popular, every Three days before the end of the transfer period, the Football Economic Forum was able to set off the final frenzy.

Moon Sports Services Company is very clear about its position, that is neutrality, detached neutrality, so it hardly participates in any clubs, any disputes between agents and players, nor does it participate in any transfer links, it just provides An information platform that allows all people in need to find the answers they want.

And now it is only the first step. With the support of OPTA's huge and authoritative database, the sports service company will continue to move forward, and continue to develop more and more while ensuring the user experience. Tools that can bring convenience to users allow everyone to find what they want faster and more accurately.

For example, attracting more sponsors to enter, but not just top sponsors like Adidas and Nike. After all, for some small teams, sponsors like Adidas are simply unattainable, so Moon Sports Services also It is open to the outside world and accepts the registration of some formal commercial companies interested in investing in the football industry.

Of course, as outlined by Eliza Moon back then, in order to ensure the privacy of users, there must be some special features.

But in general, not only the football economic forum and the player database are getting more and more popular, but even the profitability of Moon Sports Service Company is rising steadily. As the company's largest shareholder, Ye Qiu naturally has both fame and fortune.

At least, it is clear to everyone that he has made a great innovation for the football world.

So, when Ye Qiu, accompanied by Peter Kenyon, Ron Gurley and the personnel from the sports service company, walked into the venue of the Hilton Hotel, seeing the chaotic flow of people at the scene, there were people rushing towards him along the way. Ye Qiu nodded in greeting, while Ye Qiu maintained his signature friendly and polite response.

"How is this year?" Ye Qiu just returned from Monaco with the team, so he doesn't know the situation at the Football Economics Forum yet, but judging from the scene he saw in front of him, it should be good.

The CEO of the sports service company is called Rob Newman. He was promoted and cultivated by Eliza Moon himself. He is an old courtier of the sports service company. He is about 40 years old and has a good way of doing things. He is also very courageous At present, Ye Qiu and Eliza have left almost all the company's affairs to him to handle.

Rob Newman always dresses up as a standard British gentleman. His only regret is that he has a typical Irish head shape.

"According to my preliminary estimate, next year's venue will continue to expand!" Rob Newman said with a smile.

His salary is linked to the company's performance. If the company's performance is good, his salary will be high, so when he said this, he didn't want to mention how happy he was.

After hearing this, Ye Qiu, Peter Kenyon and the others all laughed and understood the meaning of the words.

"The biggest news this morning was Juventus' signing Grosso, Fiorentina's Portuguese defender Da Costa swapping West Ham winger Savio Nserek's, and England's own Some of the more important transfers, such as Aston Villa's introduction of Manchester City captain Dunne."

To be honest, it is impossible for a big transfer to appear in the Football Economic Forum, because the transfer of superstars like Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, etc., is impossible in the Football Economic Forum Formation, because such transfers often involve very complicated and cumbersome business negotiations and interest negotiations.

It’s as if Messi was going to transfer to Manchester City. Tottenham Hotspur had to settle the more than 20 commercial sponsorship contracts with him before the transfer. So this is destined to be a protracted long-term battle for Messi's transfer.

Of course, later Messi announced that he would not leave, and Ye Qiu agreed without saying a word, but behind this, the staff of Tottenham Hotspur's administrative department had done a few months of useless work, and many marketing staff even It was a few months of boring negotiations with the sponsors, so it also caused a lot of loss and trouble to Tottenham Hotspur.

It was also because he understood this that Messi was so unsure before, and even worried that Ye Qiu would forcefully sell him out.

The Football Economic Forum is not for big business, but it can gather small businesses worth millions into a vast ocean.

"This year's market conditions are generally very good. The Premier League spent nearly [-] million pounds this year, which is about [-] million more than last season. Many of them came from West Ham United and Manchester City, and they have now, Basically, there is no action, or in other words, only the sale is left."

Rob Newman is now gradually grasping the market in the entire transfer market. After all, he has been observing in this position for two years. If he has not observed some tricks, then he, the CEO of a sports service company, will do nothing. up.

"So, there won't be any big deals?" Ron Gurley was a little disappointed.

Rob Newman shook his head with a smile, and pointed to an Englishman in a suit in the distance, "Everton's personnel manager, he has been here for three days, do you think Moyes can put such a big man in his hand A sum of money, don't you spend it?"

This season, Manchester City introduced local defender Lescott from Everton, which cost 400 million euros, and Moyes has yet to come up with a decent signing, and Everton's start to the new season He didn't play very well either, so now is the time for him to shell out his money and hit people.

In the past, Ye Qiu discussed this topic with Platini, that is, is it necessary to reduce the extravagant spending of super rich people like Abramovich, Abu Dhabi consortium, and Rybo Norev?

Because in his view, it is understandable that the super-rich have entered football and invested a large sum of money in order to gain attention. They want to build a strong team in the shortest possible time. It is also a bit wrong to say that he disrupted the laws of the market, because the so-called market laws are that someone buys and someone sells, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Platini thinks that the super-rich people spend a lot of money, which may lead to the rapid decline of talents in the middle and lower teams, forming the stronger the stronger and the weaker the weaker, similar to the dominance of Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga. , and it will be difficult for other teams to compete against them.

But Ye Qiu feels that football will always be pyramid-shaped, and rich families will always be very few, otherwise they would not be rich.

All the middle and lower teams are not stupid. On the contrary, like Everton, Aston Villa and other teams, they all have their own way of survival. You can poach people from them, it doesn’t matter. They take your money in another hand, and go to dig other people's corners, one by one, and dig down layer by layer.

What was the result?
Academy teams get money!

For teams like Ajax, Porto, and Lyon, they are all for money. Their crazy development of youth training has only one purpose, and that is to keep the club alive.

Therefore, Ye Qiu has always been disapproving of Platini's financial restriction policy, because he feels that this limits the vitality of the transfer market. He feels that the real problem is not who is willing to pay for signings, but It's about financial health.

What is financial health?
To give an example, suppose Chelsea’s market value is 5000 million, and Abramovich wants to introduce Shevchenko. He lent Chelsea 5000 million euros to introduce Shevchenko through some means. Then the players come in at this time. Chelsea has a debt of 5000 million euros, and Chelsea's total market value is [-] million.

There is another way, assuming that Chelsea's market value is 5000 million, and Abramovich wants to introduce Shevchenko, but he injected Chelsea with 5000 million euros in some way to introduce players, then at this time Shevchenko's The arrival brought Chelsea's total market value to 5000 million euros, but because Abramovich's [-] million was a capital injection, it was not considered a debt and was financially healthy.

So, what is the difference between the two?

The difference is that, if one day, Abramovich stops playing football and wants to leave Chelsea, then if he uses the funds invested in the previous method, he will automatically become a creditor of Chelsea, and he will be able to get money from Chelsea. Receive a certain percentage of recovery in bankruptcy and liquidation.

If the latter is used, he will inject capital and have a community with Chelsea. Once Chelsea goes bankrupt, he will get nothing.

In other words, although it looks like a financial game, the twists and turns in it are very interesting. Ye Qiu is reminding Platini that instead of controlling how others spend money, it is better to control other people's financial health In terms of level and debt, if capital injection is all used, I don’t care how many billion you invest, right?

Football clubs are actually just like people. Everyone has different living wishes and lifestyles. Whether as a manager of a country or a manager of an industry, the most important thing is to respect individual The will to live and the way of life, the premise is that fair and just laws are formulated for them as the standard bottom line.

In the field of football, as long as you are capable and not in debt, it doesn't matter to me if you buy players from all over the world!
Anyway, you can't bear it in the future, you will go bankrupt and liquidate, and your players will have to be sold at a low price, and all teams will take advantage of it!

In fact, Rob Newman's guess was not wrong at all.

In the final hours of the last afternoon of the last day of the transfer market, Miser Moyes finally made his move.

Dutch defender Heitinga was introduced from Atletico Madrid for £600 million, Birjaretinov was brought in from Lokomotiv Moscow for £1000 million, and central defender Distin was brought in from Portsmouth for £600 million.

What a spender, what a budget-conscious Moyes!

Another team, Aston Villa, which was poached by Manchester City, also made extraordinary shots. Collins, Dunn, Downing, Warnock...
Martin O'Neill is also a guy who is very diligent and thrifty. After landing in the Premier League, he managed Aston Villa in an orderly manner. From this point, it is not difficult to see that this guy is not a good stubble.

However, the last madness in the transfer market happened to Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga giants got Real Madrid's Arjen Robben at the last moment of the transfer market and brought the Dutch flying man to the Bundesliga. The transfer should also be regarded as the biggest transfer deal in the Football Economic Forum for three consecutive years, with a transfer fee of up to 500 million euros.

However, the largest transfer in England was quite an upset. The black cat Sunderland brought in Hull City captain Michael Turner for 1000 to [-] million pounds. This transfer was also a transfer The market was finalized at the last minute.

Ye Qiu witnessed the whole process of Robben's transfer from Real Madrid to Bayern Munich, because he happened to be talking to Rummenigge at the time. I wish Robben can have a good development prospect in Bayern Munich.

At that time, the three stars of Ajax switched to Real Madrid, but now they come and go, Sneijder went to Manchester United, Robben went to Bayern Munich, Van der Vaart was almost going to Manchester City, but in the end it still failed and had to It's a very embarrassing thing to say.

But there are joys and sorrows. Although Ye Qiu regrets the transfer of his former disciples, everyone is excited for the successful conclusion of the third football economic forum. This grand event is getting more and more prosperous. As for the current trend of copycats in European football.

Not long ago, a company in Austria also established a so-called football forum and player data platform. There are also people in Italy and Portugal who are doing the same thing, obviously in the business of copycat Moon Sports Services Company.

Moon Sports Service Company didn't give the slightest blow to such counterfeit objects, because the business is like this, there is only Yangmou, there is no conspiracy, because the conspiracy cannot last for a long time, only Yangmou can travel all over the world, and never fall.

The most important things in this business are contacts and data. Moon Sports Services currently has an absolutely overwhelming advantage in these two aspects. It can almost be said to have 99% of the market share. What do other small companies come up with? compete?
Therefore, Ye Qiu told Rob Newman that as long as the Moon Sports Service Company did not make mistakes, no one else could defeat them.

And everything is just a rule, the one who walks in the front gets the crab, and the ones who follow may not even catch the crab shell. This is the reason why the early bird gets the worm.

But just after the curtain fell on the transfer market, a message came from UEFA the next day.

Because in the transfer of the young teenager Kakuta, Chelsea had a serious violation and was prohibited from acquiring players in the next two transfer windows. Kakuta himself was suspended for four months and Chelsea fined 78 euros.

This piece of news immediately caused an uproar in European football. For Chelsea, the poaching routine led by Pini Zahavi in ​​the past period of time is also common in European football circles. Many people are very dissatisfied with this Israeli. Back then About Ashley? Cole and Ledley? King's storm is still making a lot of noise.

Now, there is another Kakuta transfer turmoil. Chelsea has always given people the impression that they don't remember the pain.

As early as when Ye Qiu was coaching Chelsea, he had told Abramovich many times that hegemony would not last long, and if he wanted to run a team for a long time, he had to take the kingly route, but he didn't listen and continued to be a gangster Going on, Ye Qiu did nothing.

But Ye Qiu didn't have much thought to meddle in other people's affairs, because he still had a lot of things to deal with.

One of the biggest things before him is to enter September. After the two-week national team match day, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in Manchester United and Chelsea in the fifth round of the Premier League and the sixth round of the Premier League. .

This is simply the rhythm of killing Tottenham Hotspur!
