Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth Eight Quote a Sky-High Price
"Thank you for coming to tonight's banquet in spite of your busy schedule, thank you!"
As the CEO of Miracle Media and the person in charge of the International Champions Cup, Sun Yue naturally had to go on stage to say a few words of thanks on this occasion. mobile reading mobile reading
After all, in addition to the team's boss and executives, there are also core executives of the major sponsors present tonight.
Compared with the low-key European Youth Champions Cup, Miracle Media has put in a lot of effort and invested a lot of resources in the promotion of the International Champions Cup. All participating teams are wealthy teams, which makes this event Very hot.
Last summer, attendance shocked the world.
Everyone expects that this year, the International Champions Cup will further set off a wave of football in North America.
What Sun Yue said on stage was more about the achievements of the International Champions Cup in the past year.
For example, this year's International Champions Cup signed a live broadcast contract, that is China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan.
And it was Yang Huan's WeChat video that won the live broadcast contract.
Of course, although they are all their own companies, and the left hand is handed over to the right hand, the money still has to be paid.
In addition, the International Champions Cup has also signed several other sponsorship contracts, and this year has more time, Miracle Media has drawn up a more detailed and larger-scale publicity and promotion plan.
From the plans listed by Sun Yue, everyone can see that last year it was to gain a firm foothold, but this year it is time to make great efforts to completely open up the US market.
Miracle Media is going to make the International Champions Cup a top event!
For everyone present, it is also wishful for the same.
From the perspective of the club, during the summer preparation period, there is such an extra event, they can not only ensure a high-level warm-up match, but also get a high appearance fee, and at the same time expand their commercial influence, Serves multiple purposes.
For sponsors, having such an additional platform is equivalent to an additional opportunity for marketing and publicity.
The World Cup only comes once every four years, the UEFA Champions League is far away in Europe, but the International Champions Cup is in the United States!
What really caught everyone's attention was that Sun Yue also mentioned the Asian Challenge.
There are a total of six teams participating in this event,
They will play several challenges in Asia, including China, Japan, Thailand and other countries and regions.
The six teams are Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool in the Premier League, Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Paris Saint-Germain in the Ligue 1, Naples in the Serie A and Atletico Madrid in La Liga.
Originally, Miracle Media hoped to invite traditional giants like Milan and Inter Milan.
These two teams have amazing influence in the Chinese region.
But unfortunately, Milan decided to participate in the North American Challenge. Inter Milan's asking price was too high, and they also asked Miracle Media to agree to let them participate in next year's International Champions Cup.
Miracle Media is no better than it was last year.
With the success of the International Champions Cup last year and all participating teams earning a lot of money, Miracle Media is not worried about no teams participating, so when choosing who to participate in the International Champions Cup, this must not be subject to the discretion of the participating teams Blackmail.
Just kidding, if they are threatened by Inter Milan now, wouldn't all teams follow suit in the future?
So, in the end, Naples was chosen.
Although the reputation is a bit bad, but at least the strength is good, and the results in the past few years are also good.
When Sun Yue introduced the Asian Challenge, everyone present also vaguely heard the meaning of Miracle Media.
As long as the International Champions Cup continues to exert its influence in North America this year and the Asian Challenge has a good response in the Asian region, next year's International Champions Cup will expand its team. The specific situation of the expansion is to be determined.
The International Champions Cup!
Since it is international, it must not stay in North America all the time, you have to look at the world!
"Okay, next we invite the mayor of Miami, Mr. Regalado, to say a few words!"
Following Sun Yue's introduction, there was a burst of warm applause at the scene.
The mayor of Miami immediately stood up with a smile, walked onto the stage, looked at his posture, and was ready!
Yang Huan was sitting at the same table with Regalado, watching him give a speech on stage, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"What's the matter?" Lin Yun'er who was sitting next to Master Huan asked strangely.
As the spokesperson of the International Champions Cup, it is only natural for Lin Yuner to attend tonight's dinner.
Not only her, but Uncle Psy and others, they are all stars of the International Champions Cup.
Yang Huan smiled and turned his head to the side, and after getting close to Lin Yun'er, he whispered: "This was added temporarily."
"Ah?" Lin Yuner was a little surprised.
That's okay too?
Her slightly surprised and moving appearance immediately provoked Yang Huan's index finger to twitch.
"Why not? In order to hold the finals, they paid five million euros!" Yang Huanxie said.
With last year's success, this year's International Champions Cup will be much more confident when negotiating the venue.
For example, in the finals, including Miami, there were at least four cities trying to host the finals. As a result, Miami won the right to host the finals with a government subsidy of 5 million euros.
The two semi-final cities also won 2.5 million euros in government subsidies.
For these three games alone, Miracle Media received 10 million euros in government subsidies.
Although there are not many subsidies for other competitions, the sum is not small, plus some preferential policies of the local government, such as tax exemption, or providing a series of convenient services.
Overall, this year's income will definitely be a bit more than last year's.
But relative to the increase in income, the investment is also greater, so in general, it is still a loss.
However, Yang Huan said that he will not make money for at least a few years, and this slogan is not for nothing.
When Regalado came on stage, it was nothing more than some high-sounding words, boasting about Miami, welcoming more of these giant teams, etc., which was quite boring to hear.
However, he seemed to have a good time talking.
This also made Yang Huan quite emotional, is it true that all officials are like this?
After finally surviving until he finished speaking, the atmosphere of the dinner party suddenly became lively again, and many people started to chat together in twos and threes.
In this kind of occasion, eating is never the most important thing, making friends and talking about business is the key point.
Just when Yang Huan was looking around with great interest, Russell, the chairman of Barcelona, walked over with a smile.
Accompanying him is Bartomeu, the first vice-chairman of Barcelona.
"Master Huan!"
Yang Huan immediately stood up with a smile, and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Sandro!"
Lin Yuner, who was originally sitting next to Yang Huan, stood up gracefully, and immediately revealed the pink tube top, waist and stamen dress that she was wearing. With her tall figure, she was really indescribably charming moving.
"Master Huan, I'm going back first!"
"Um!"
Uncle Bird Du Ziteng also stood up, "I'm going back too!"
"good!"
As soon as the two left, Russell and Bartomeu sat down.
"What's the matter?" Yang Huan looked at Roselle with interest, feeling that emotion in his heart.
I still remember that in 2010, he wanted to go to Barcelona to discuss the transfer of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but Russell and Bartomeu left him hanging in the hotel and waited for an hour. Thinking about it now, I still feel a toothache.
But who would have thought that now, two years later, they would take the initiative to come to the door, and they still respect and be polite to themselves.
So, this person's fate is really unpredictable!
"That's right, Master Huan, please help me with something!" Roselle said excitedly.
"Me?" Yang Huan was both surprised and amused.
Surprisingly, why does this guy look like he's on fire?
The funny thing is, you, you even come to beg me sometimes!
"how can I help you?"
"Sell us Barcelona Neymar!"
"What?" Yang Huan frowned.
This guy dares to poach a corner!
"Are you kidding me?"
"No, Master Huan, I'm very, very serious. As long as you agree to let Neymar transfer, we can talk about the transfer fee."
This time Yang Huan could tell from Roselle's eyes that he was serious.
And very, very seriously!
Neymar flirts with Barcelona and Real Madrid, and Southampton has already seen it in his heart, but he has been biting his mouth all the time, just saying that Neymar is not for sale.
But everyone can see that it is not so difficult for Southampton to force Neymar to stay.
Either Barcelona or Real Madrid, choose one of the two!
Looking at the whole of Europe, the only teams that can afford Neymar are these two teams.
Unfortunately, both teams are interested in Neymar.
"Talk?" Yang Huan shook his head with a smile, "How much can you give?"
Russell was taken aback, full of surprises.
Southampton had been refusing to talk about it before, but this time, Master Huan actually took the initiative to inquire about the price. Isn't this a godsend opportunity?
At their level, once the negotiation is settled, it is basically determined.
But when Yang Huan asked him how much he could give, it made him difficult.
If you drive too much, you will suffer. If you drive too little, you are afraid that Master Huan will turn his back on you.
"Master Huan, how appropriate do you think?"
"I think?" Yang Huan laughed at once, "You should say it, I'm afraid that if I say it, it will scare you!"
Russell smiled wryly now.
In the whole world, who doesn't know that Young Master Huan is rich and powerful?
In his eyes, a few million is just loose change, tens of millions is not in his eyes.
If you really want him to say it, maybe he will directly quote a sky-high price.
The Barcelona president looked at the right-hand man beside him, and Bartomeu nodded towards him.
"Master Huan, we are willing to offer Neymar a transfer fee of 70 million euros!"
Seventy million euros?
Second only to Cristiano Ronaldo, it can be called the second price in football history.
Judging from the current market conditions of Neymar, his performance in Southampton is indeed quite amazing, but at most 50 million euros is the top of the sky.
But the problem is that the current transfer market is too exaggerated and too outrageous.
There are not only veteran money-burning teams like Real Madrid, but also new local tyrants like Manchester City, Southampton, and Paris Saint-Germain, making the bubble in the entire European transfer market very outrageous.
No, not long ago, Paris Saint-Germain introduced Lucas Jr. from Brazil. How much is he worth?
Forty million euros!
My goodness, a young player who has never proven himself in Europe and who has only performed well in the Brazilian domestic league is worth 40 million euros.
In addition, some local teams such as Russia, Ukraine and Turkey have begun to burn money.
Porto striker Hulk moved to Zenit St. Petersburg for 55 million euros.
Benfica midfielder Witsel moved to Zenit for 40 million euros.
You know, these two players from the Portuguese Super League are at best familiar in European football. How famous can they be?
The current transfer market has long lost its rationality.
Any transfer of a top player costs 40 to 50 million euros, and you are ashamed to ask someone for an offer!
Therefore, when Roselle offered a price of 70 million euros, he was still trembling.
And what about Master Huan?
After hearing this, he immediately burst out laughing, shook his head uncontrollably, stood up, and sighed deeply.
"Sandro, talk about Neymar's transfer later!"
after? Besides?
What do you mean?
Roselle also stood up and was about to ask.
Young Master Ke Huan obviously didn't give him a chance, so he turned around and left.
Now, he has the qualifications and capital to hang Roselle there!
The chairman of Barcelona could only stare at his back in a daze.
"It seems that he is very dissatisfied with this offer!" Bartomeu said.
"Not satisfied? Seventy million euros, still not satisfied?" Roselle was a little weak.
Bartomeu also felt helpless, "Real Madrid may have made an offer!"
Russell saw Real Madrid general manager Sanchez talking with Ron Gurley just now, and now, hearing what Bartomeu said, it is very possible.
It seems that this rival team is also determined to win Neymar! ()
