Yang Huan has a headache now, because the group of Qataris in front of him, one or two look at it, they all look the same, and they know who is who at all.

Fortunately, Hamad was by his side, introducing him one by one. 【First Release】

It turned out that the middle-aged man who looked very similar to Hamad, but was slightly fatter and had a belly, is now the prime minister of Qatar. It is said that in this country, he belongs to the second most powerful figure.

Accompanying Prime Minister Hamad, there are also several important members of the Qatar government and the royal family, but they are more of a symbolic presence to accompany them. The one who really plays a role is a sports minister with a small beard. , Ben Nasser Al Ali.

Because Yang Huan was not visiting Qatar officially this time, but just for a vacation, the meeting this time was entirely private, and there were not so many annoying procedures such as official diplomatic etiquette.

When the big guy met in the meeting room of the Prime Minister's residence, he sat down after a few greetings.

Prime Minister Hamad thanked Yang Huan straight away and thanked Yang Huan for taking care of his son during his stay in the UK.

Yang Huan can feel that his thanks are from the heart.

Regardless of the fact that Hamad’s father is the prime minister of real power, he is also a member of the royal family, but in fact, as long as there are people, there must be competition, especially in a country like Qatar, where the competition is even more intense.

It's just that these are only known to the people in their royal family.

In the past, Hamad was quite arrogant and messy. Although he was obedient, it was useless.

But now it's different. There are a lot of stinks. I heard that I messed with men and women when I was in the UK. But what?

At least in the eyes of Prime Minister Hamad, Hamad now is at least more suitable to survive this fierce royal competition!

More importantly, through Yang Huan’s relationship, Hamad has established a very good network in the UK and even in the world, and most of them are not rich or noble. This will affect his future. It is of great help.

And all the changes of the baby boy came from Yang Huan.

This is why he thanked him in the first place.

After thanking them, the two sides discussed a lot of side matters. For example, Qatar welcomes Yang Huan to invest, and Prime Minister Hamad also promised to do his best to help.

In addition, Yang Huan also said that Qatar is welcome to invest in China, and the Yang Group is also willing to support in all aspects, and even cooperate. This is also the decision that his father Yang Wenfeng agreed to leave Longhai City.

The talks were going on in a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, and it was not until the end that the two sides talked about football.

"Mr. Yang Huan, what do you think of Manchester City after the Abu Dhabi Consortium took over?"

Yang Huan followed the prestige and found that it was Qatar's sports minister who asked the question, and politely nodded and smiled at the other party.

"Many people doubt Manchester City's investment over the years, but personally feel that, at least, Manchester City's investment is successful."

If you simply look at the investment and the team's achievements, perhaps success or failure is very controversial.

But if you look at the advertising effect on the Abu Dhabi consortium, Manchester City is definitely a success!

Everyone present, including Yang Huan, is very clear that the Qatari people are more concerned about the advertising effect, and then the team's performance and loss.

To put it bluntly, they are not bad at all!

"In the past ten years, the influence of the Premier League has been spreading at an exponential rate. Today, the world has entered the Internet era. The Premier League is the first of all leagues to achieve Internet live broadcast and launch Internet copyright."

Everyone present listened and nodded uncontrollably.

In recent years, the Internet has become synonymous with tallness.

But don't think that this is something out of reach of high-tech, on the contrary, the Internet is gradually becoming a popular product similar to TV, every household must have.

"I once had a very in-depth discussion with the CEO of our club, Peter Kenyon, and the CEO of the Premier League, Richard Scudmore, and we agreed that the speed of the Premier League’s pay TV live broadcast copyright Growth will gradually stabilize in a few years."

Judging from the current situation, the potential of Asia, Africa and South America is great, but the development speed is slow, so this will be a long-term task.

"In the future, the copyright of the Premier League will gradually become a three-legged model, that is, the local market, the overseas market and the Internet market!"

Speaking of this, Yang Huan smiled again, "Everyone has seen how big the local market is. Over the past few years, the overseas market has developed quite rapidly, and it has not lost to the local market at all, and it relies on the advantage of English. It will continue to maintain its development momentum in the future."

"Only the Internet market, the income in this area is quite small now, but in the next few years, I can guarantee that it will develop into a potential that will not lose to the local market and the overseas market, even larger than these two major markets. market!"

Having said that, Yang Huan laughed again.

"In other words, in the foreseeable future for many years, the broadcast rights of the Premier League will continue to be like a rocket, soaring rapidly, and influence will continue to spread, and finally spread all over the world!"

After hearing what Yang Huan said, Prime Minister Hamad and the Minister of Sports looked at each other, and they all felt the surprise in each other's eyes.

Before they decided to acquire Paris Saint-Germain, they had already conducted a very detailed evaluation and budget of the Premier League. At that time, they gave up the opportunity to acquire Manchester United and chose Paris Saint-Germain.

But a few years later, Ligue 1 is still the fifth largest league in Europe. Although Paris Saint-Germain is already the champion of Ligue 1, its reputation in the European arena and its influence in the world have been developing slowly. .

In the final analysis, Ligue 1 is not good!

In this case, they have already regretted their decision to not choose the Premier League.

Now, after listening to what Yang Huan said, they suddenly realized that they have a lot to do in the Premier League now.

"Mr. Yang Huan, thank you very much for your frank report!"

Prime Minister Hamad nodded his thanks very sincerely.

"But I still have a doubt. Since the Premier League is in such a good situation, why are there so many teams wanting to sell in the reports we have collected? And I heard that the Premier League teams have very serious debts. , And why is this?"

When the Minister of Sports heard this, he nodded and gave a secret compliment. The Prime Minister's question really hit the spot.

In fact, what they want to understand most is how to play professional football in Europe!

It is best to let Master Huan teach a lesson!

After Yang Huan listened, he smiled again and nodded: “It’s true that many teams want to sell, and many teams have serious debts, but I personally think that this is caused by problems with the team’s own positioning. The overall development of the Premier League is not in conflict."

"How do you say?" Prime Minister Hamad immediately became interested.

"Whether it’s the Premier League or Europe, there are many ways to play professional football, such as Barcelona and Real Madrid. For them, the youth training is just a slogan, and the emphasis on youth training is only occasional. Don’t look at the current youth training in Barcelona. The slogan is loud, but looking at the history of this team, it is not difficult to find that Barcelona is a special case at this stage!"

"These teams are not bad for money. They are pursuing achievements, championships, and honors. So they have to invest a lot of money in the team to operate and transfer. Therefore, these teams are basically impossible to achieve. Profits, on the contrary, are easy to get into debt, but they are the most influential team on the planet."

Before Florentino and Laporta came to power, Barcelona and Real Madrid were heavily in debt and were almost bankrupt.

"There is another kind of team. I don’t aim for the championship. What I want is stability. For example, Arsenal. This team has completely abandoned the pursuit of the championship in recent years. They have only one purpose, to maintain stability before the league. Fourth, the accumulation of steady and steady combat."

"When they accumulate to a certain level, that's when they start to give play to their advantages, because their finances are very healthy. Once the accumulation is completed, the potential to burst out is quite large, but no matter what, in terms of competitiveness, it is definitely not as good as Barcelona and Real Madrid."

Bayern Munich also belongs to this type, but on the one hand, the competition in the Bundesliga is not as good as the Premier League and La Liga, which leads to Bayern Munich standing out without pressure.

"There is also the most typical one is Porto. They do not pursue results. As long as they can guarantee to represent the Portuguese Super League in the Champions League, they are satisfied. What they want is a long-term business model. They do not invest and rely solely on the club to be self-sufficient, so they have to Take the human trafficker and cultivate the route of semi-finished products."

Speaking of this, Yang Huan shook his head again, “This kind of team is not unavailable in the four major leagues, such as La Liga’s Sevilla, Valencia, Serie A’s Udinese, and Atlanta, etc. One way, but gradually, the teams in these four major leagues have become less comfortable than the teams such as Porto."

The Hamad chief and the like were all surprised at once, "Why?"

Since they are all taking the route of human traffickers, why are the teams in the four major leagues inferior to the teams in the Portuguese Super League?

"The Champions League!" Yang Huan replied very concisely.

"The Champions League?"

"Yes!" Yang Huan nodded, "Except for the Premier League, the mid- and lower-tier teams in Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga are generally not ideal in terms of income. They are not far behind Portuguese Super League teams such as Porto, and may even be inferior to Porto. "

"More importantly, Porto can play in the Champions League. Not much else. As long as they can participate in the group stage, it represents tens of millions of income. The group stage can break through and the income will be more. This suddenly opened the gap. ."

"Moreover, the gold content of the Champions League is getting higher and higher. Porto can participate in the Champions League. Players have increased their chances of expressing themselves on a high-level stage and increased their exposure. They are definitely worth a bit higher than those who did not participate in the Champions League. It can attract more potential stars who are eager to participate in the Champions League to join, thereby increasing the success rate!"

Yang Huan saw the Hamad chief nodding vigorously, and felt that he should start to summarize.

"In fact, in the European professional football system, the self-positioning of a team is very important. Once you make a mistake, it may cause the entire team to collapse for many years, or even go bankrupt."

"And there is no doubt that Manchester City is taking the route of Barcelona and Real Madrid. They only have one goal, that is to maximize the advertising effect, so they have to burn money, smash superstars, and invest regardless of cost. It doesn't matter how much loss is."

"But there are also counter-examples, such as Aston Villa in the Premier League a few years ago. This team once occupied the middle and upper reaches of the league for a long time and was very competitive. But then the team’s business direction has problems and the results have plummeted. Ranked downstream."

Aston Villa did not lose to Tottenham Hotspur in the past few years~www.readwn.com~ But in the goal of hitting the top four in the league, Tottenham Hotspur handled under the operation of Daniel Levi. It was very exciting. Although it is not a success, at least Tottenham Hotspur also guaranteed the team's fifth and sixth positions in the league.

More importantly, if Tottenham Hotspur hadn't had a Northumberland plan, there would be no debt at all!

But what about Aston Villa?

After a round of fighting, the ranking plummeted, ranking downstream, and began to worry about relegation.

Want to revive?

With Aston Villa's current debt of nearly 200 million euros, it is still unknown how many years it will take!

Unless, their American boss is willing to burn money and stimulate.

This is why the entire European professional football community believes that Daniel Levi is the most savvy and outstanding professional manager in the Premier League outside of Peter Kenyon.

Without him, Tottenham Hotspur would never have today!
