Chapter 489: It's crazy!
"Mr. Yang Huan!"
"Master Huan, you are late!"
"Oh, Master Huan, you are here, we were still thinking of you just now!"
"Master Huan, you don't need to say any more, let's have a meal together tonight, I will treat you, and you must give me face!"
"Mr. Yang Huan, hello, I am..."
……
Yang Huan entered the meeting room on the eighth floor of the Landmark Hotel, and the scene suddenly became noisy.
Almost everyone stood up and gathered around Yang Huan, eagerly eager to show their courtesy.
No way, Southampton is like a cow, what can you do?
Don't look at Southampton currently in the middle of the Premier League rankings. It's not doing very well, but when it comes to making money, it's one of the best.
After Southampton participated in the International Champions Cup this summer and won the championship, the Saints announced that the team had signed four consecutive sponsorship contracts with Intel, Apple, MetLife and Tommy Hilfiger.
Relying on these four contracts, Southampton can earn 110 million pounds in income, 22 million pounds per year.
Before everyone could react, not long after returning to London, Southampton announced that it had signed a sponsorship contract with Cadbury, a well-known British retail company, with an annual cost of 6 million pounds.
then signed a new contract with Heineken Beer, and can get a sponsorship of 10 million pounds per year.
After that, Southampton announced that it had signed a sponsorship contract with the Chinese company Huawei and the American fast food company KFC.
The British Times once calculated that Southampton's annual business income has increased by at least 40 million pounds after the operation this summer.
And this does not include the annual main sponsorship income of Citibank 10 million pounds, Adidas and Qatar Airways each 30 million pounds.
If it all adds up, it would be more than 100 million pounds!
This ability to make money is one of the best in the entire European football world!
What's more, Southampton also announced at the new season jersey conference in early August that the Saints will cooperate with American sponsors, the famous leisure leading brand Tommy Hilfiger. Starting next year, the Saints clothing brand and Ibrahimović’s IB9 personal brand.
This is also regarded as another breakthrough in Southampton's business operations.
Moreover, this August jersey conference was also highly praised by the outside world. In addition to the fact that Norman Foster and his friends continued the Southampton jersey, last year, the team joined Aspley and Jie. Christopher Bailey, the world's top designer of rad luxury goods company, also designed a casual series with saint elements.
All of these have attracted the media and fans' pursuit, and the sales are very good.
There are even many people who think that Southampton’s business operations capabilities are not at all lost to Manchester United.
More importantly, the Saints have a very high influence among young fans.
Many media have questioned before, thinking that the Saints Fan Club founded in Southampton might not be able to go on.
The reason is that the members who paid £100,000 for membership last year will not renew the payment this year.
After the results came out in August, they slapped them in the face again.
One thousand members, all have paid a membership fee of 100,000 pounds.
This is another 100 million pounds in income!
Now Southampton's annual income is even enough to compete with Manchester United!
Especially after being promoted to the Premier League, receiving a large share of broadcast fees, and signing several large sponsors in the United States, Southampton's revenue ability is enough to make other Premier League teams feel jealous.
Of course, Manchester United is not bad. The signing of Chevrolet's record-setting sponsorship contract has also greatly increased the income of the Red Devils.
Together with Arsenal and Manchester City, they have also made a lot of money from the United States International Champions Cup.
So, this match naturally made other teams jealous.
Who doesn't want to make more money?
With money, we can introduce more powerful stars, improve the strength of the team, get a better ranking, make more money, and form a virtuous circle.
Therefore, this group of Premier League bosses, or the CEOs, saw Yang Huan walking into the venue, and they all licked their faces and leaned forward, as if they had completely forgotten how they targeted Nanfang. Of ampton.
Yang Huan knows exactly what's going on, but the so-called don’t hit the smiley with your hand, people are kind to you, you can’t be too shameless, right?
So he cares, he smiles at everyone.
"Hi, Roman!" Yang Huan smiled and stretched out his hand towards Abramovich.
The Russians are embarrassed in their hearts, but there are so many people, you can't be demeaned?
So he quickly stood up, "Hello, Mr. Yang Huan."
After Yang Huan shook hands with him politely, he walked towards his position.
When passing by the Manchester City owner Mubarak, the leader of the Premier League standings also stood up and gave Yang Huan an enthusiastic bear hug, as if for fear that others would not know their two teams Closely related.
Although Manchester City brought in Strowman from Southampton at a high price this summer, the outstanding performance of the Dutch helped Manchester City outperform the Premier League standings, and the money was considered worthwhile.
"Master Huan, the faces of these guys can become so fast!"
As soon as Yang Huan sat down in his seat, Peter Kenyon approached with a smile and whispered.
"This world is so realistic!"
In contrast, Yang Huan is more open-minded.
As soon as Yang Huan arrived, everyone was there, and the meeting began.
It is still the usual practice. There is still the chief executive of the Premier League, Richard Scudmore, who announced the topic of this meeting.
is mainly divided into two parts.
The first part is to introduce everyone to the current situation of the Premier League and the operation of broadcasting rights.
"With the strong rise of many teams and the joint efforts of everyone present, the Premier League is becoming more and more attractive."
"After hard negotiations, we finally signed a series of broadcasting rights contracts with our partners."
Following Skudmoore’s remarks, a Premier League staff came out and distributed a document to everyone present, which clearly listed the specific auction of Premier League broadcast rights.
These are all public announcements, there is nothing too fuss about.
The focus is on broadcast costs.
"Seven local broadcast negotiations have brought us a total of 3.3 billion pounds in revenue."
As soon as Skudmoore's voice fell, the frying pan immediately went live.
"Wow!"
"3.3 billion pounds?"
"Oh my god, am I dreaming? It's incredible!"
"Three seasons is 3.3 billion, that season is 1.1 billion pounds!"
"I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy, isn't the money that each team can get more?"
"Damn, you have to stay in the Premier League anyway!"
"Isn't it? You can't even earn a fraction of the Premier League deputy squad leader if you drop into the Premier League, you must be relegated!"
"For transfers during the winter break, the competition must be fierce. You have to prepare quickly!"
There was a lot of discussion, but Skudmoore was very satisfied with the atmosphere.
As the butler of the Premier League, his job is to satisfy all the bosses present.
Obviously, he did a good job this time!
"In addition to the local broadcasting rights, the broadcasting rights for the highlights of the competition in the next three years were purchased by the TV station for 200 million pounds!"
This once again shocked everyone on the scene.
However, with the previous 3.3 billion, the current 200 million is nothing to make a fuss about.
But soon someone thought of another big cake.
"Richard, how about overseas copyright? Has it increased?"
"Yes, the local copyright in the Premier League has increased so much, has the overseas copyright increased?"
Someone asked this, and everyone's attention suddenly fell on Skudmore.
The Premier League CEO smiled slightly, "We are very pleased to announce that the total overseas copyright income in the next three years will be as high as 2.4 billion pounds!"
"Wow, £2.4 billion?!"
"Oh my God, it is a billion more than the current 1.4 billion pounds!"
"I'm dizzy, completely dizzy!"
Skudmore was also happy to see the excitement of many people present.
Yang Huan is flipping through the documents in his hand. He noticed that in the overseas copyright sales of the Premier League, the Asian region accounts for the largest share and also the largest increase, reaching 1 billion pounds.
You must know that in the current execution of the 1.4 billion pounds contract, the copyright in Asia is only 500 million pounds, and the growth rate is staggering. However, Thailand has the largest share in Asia, reaching 200 million pounds.
is followed by Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India and Indonesia.
Nakano is seventh, and Japan is tenth, which is obviously unreasonable.
It is not difficult to see that the potential for tapping in the Asian region is still huge.
What caught Yang Huan’s attention was that the copyrights of these two regions had not yet been negotiated. It seemed that something went wrong.
Another area that attracted Yang Huan’s attention was the Middle East and North Africa.
Perhaps affected by the international situation, the share of the Middle East and North Africa has not increased, but has decreased.
If the growth rate is the fastest, it must be South America, which has more than six times, but the total is only 100 million pounds.
However, if you add Brazil’s 30 million pounds, the entire South America is only 130 million pounds.
With the signing of this contract, only North Korea and Albania will not broadcast the Premier League in the world.
The reasons for North Korea need not be said. Albania is because many countries buy Albanian satellite decoders to watch live matches, which affects the interests of Premier League broadcasters, so the Premier League absolutely bans Albania.
The cake is really big enough.
Judging from this contract, the Premier League champions from the 2013 to 2014 seasons will at least be able to allocate more than 100 million pounds in broadcast fees, and even if they are relegated teams, at least there will be Sixty to seven million pounds.
This is really crazy!
It is foreseeable that ~lightnovelpub.net~ the entire Premier League will go crazy for this!
A league ranking is several million pounds. Who doesn’t want to grab it?
Richard Scudmore has not said a word, but let everyone present to digest the shock and irritation brought by this new contract. He can see that everyone is very satisfied.
To satisfy the boss, this is his greatest achievement.
"Next, we will move on to the next link. There are mainly two topics."
After all the bosses in the room looked over, Scudmore did not continue talking.
"As I mentioned at the last summit, UEFA is vigorously implementing the law of fiscal fairness and is determined to be very determined. The proportion of our Premier League debt is also quite astonishing. The arrival of this new contract happens to give us one time. opportunity."
Everyone present listened and nodded again and again.
"But we must reach a consensus that the wages of players have increased too fast in the past few years, and we must determine the rules of the league game."
"Otherwise, sooner or later, we will be dragged down!"
"Because it is impossible for us to maintain such an amazingly high growth rate for every contract, that is unrealistic!"
