Chapter 659 Sports Layout
Before attending the film festival, Yu Yue received an invitation from Chuncheng Football Team owner Zhong Tai.
Yu Yue had contacted Zhong Tai for a long time, and of course he was talking about the football team.
After hearing the super high value of Kyoto Club, Yu Yue realized the madness of the domestic football market. When he returned to Chuncheng, he contacted Zhong Tai and wanted to invest in it. However, Zhong Tai was hesitant at that time, Yu Yue asked the other party to think and expressed his willingness to buy at a price of 10% over the market price.
Friends are friends, and business is business.
Yu Yue knew that Zhong Tai had been running Chuncheng Club for so many years and had developed feelings for him and relied heavily on the promotional effect of this football team. Moreover, the current football market is still so prosperous, so if you want to acquire it, you have to show sincerity.
What's more, when Zhong Tai settled in the forest, he also sent a number one general to help with the operation.
Zhong Tai didn't actually want to sell the club, but this season was too thrilling. He succeeded in relegation in the last round and almost fell down.
Although it is only a game, everyone knows that falling down and staying is simply the difference between hell and heaven.
If it falls, many players will leave in order to continue playing in the top league, the team's strength will inevitably be damaged. If you want to improve again, you still need to increase your investment.
Because the second-tier league is not so easy to mess around now, everyone is breaking their heads and rushing up. Many teams have even put in their efforts for many years. The team structure is very good, and it must be much stronger than the reorganized Chuncheng Club.
If it is difficult to advance to the Super League, the market value loss caused by relegation will be huge, and the team will definitely not be worth it. Of course, if you don’t want to sell, it doesn’t matter to the boss. Just rush in slowly. It won’t work for two years, or two years but not three or five years.
But the problem is that he can wait, but others may not be able to wait. In the current political achievements culture, economic development is indeed the focus, but sports is also particularly important. Local adults will not be satisfied with this achievement. If it was not bad before, there are people like Yu Yue who are very successful in playing sports. At that time, those adults will be passive if they propose to let Yu Yue do it.
They said, how could they not follow? Although they could not follow the rules, they could not follow them, or even avoid birds, but they lived in this pond after all, so how could they not make those people unhappy?
And it also damages its brand value.
In the Super League, you can hear the names of clubs named after their own group across the country, and your industry is still well-known. Once it is reduced, locals will understand it over time.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Zhong Tai decided it was time to talk to Yu Yue.
In order to avoid losing value after being demoted.
Yu Yue came to Zhongtai Group, and Zhongtai invited him to have tea in the office.
After a simple greeting, the two of them also went straight to the point.
Zhong Tai looked at Yu Yue and said, "I asked you to come here today to talk about the football team."
"Uncle Zhong figured it out?" Yu Yue said in surprise.
By age, Zhong Tai is barely from Grandpa Yu Yue, but there is no one in the world who takes the initiative to be a grandson. So Yu Yue is polite, after several contacts, he no longer uses titles like Mr. Zhong, but instead calls him Uncle Zhong.
Zhong Tai nodded: "Since you took Dibo away, the club is getting worse and worse, and I almost relegated this year."
"Is that right?" Yu Yue had no time to pay attention to the domestic league situation. He was surprised when he heard this.
Zhong Tai nodded: "Yes, it's so dangerous."
"Aren't our investment not small?" Yu Yue said.
"The problem is that others have invested more!" Zhong Tai also sighed. Football is really expensive nowadays. The foreign players he hired were higher than the entire team in previous years, but the results were getting worse and worse.
Although foreign players are powerful and rank at the forefront of the scorer list, the team as a whole is still not enough to compete with others.
Yu Yue nodded: "Yes, now everyone buys people like using Yin coins, throwing money into death..."
Hearing Yu Yue's explanation, Zhong Tai couldn't help laughing and sighed: "It's not the past! In the past, everyone paid attention to healthy management. Now, you can see that domestic clubs are basically losing money. I can't afford to lose my money."
Yu Yue understood Zhong Tai's feelings and understood his helplessness. It was indeed the case. In fact, for Zhongtai today, it was indeed not suitable for clubs.
It is due to the times.
In the past, everyone operated healthily, and even if the club was not profitable, it would not be too burdened.
But now the domestic market is full of big-name foreign players, and now the domestic league has become the choice for European players to make money by pension, which shows how arrogant he is.
The buyer is even more ruthless, and tens of millions of dollars are like white paper.
The domestic football market is indeed very prosperous now, but there is no way to support the high consumption of these foreign players. Moreover, domestic football only has the domestic market, and the annual bonuses and other aspects are very limited, so profits are basically impossible.
Especially the teams that are ranked in the top few now actually lose money.
Of course, people are not afraid of compensation because they have the support of awesome companies.
It's nothing to lose 200 million to 300 million a year, especially for big names like Xu and Zhang Dong.
In fact, they are still profitable.
The club's books are in losses and need to be supported by the boss's money, but the club has brought them publicity and public love, resulting in their brand value rising and their profitability increasing, so they are not afraid of losing money.
But it won't work for a boss like Zhong Tai.
The profitability of his own group is not as strong as others. Even if the team is a domestic champion, his industry determines that it is difficult for him to be as vigorous as those big names, so he can only operate in small capital and strive to lose at least.
On the one hand, there are rich people who are not afraid of losing money, and on the other hand, there are small bosses who are cautious, so one goes up and down, and you are destined to be unable to compete with others, which creates today's league pattern. The strength of the team is basically the boss's financial resources.
In fact, Yu Yue also understood that Chuncheng Club still has some background, and the club's management is pretty good. If the club did not have some hard power, just looking at the boss's wealth and investment, Chuncheng would probably have been relegated long ago.
Yu Yue understood, and Zhong Tai also knew that if we continue, Chuncheng Club would not be so lucky to succeed in relegation every year, and it would be a matter of time before relegation is relegated.
"Uncle Zhong, what is your opinion?" Yu Yue asked.
"Sell part of the equity to you." Zhong Tai said.
"Part?" Yu Yue said in surprise.
Zhong Tai nodded: "I don't want to let go completely, oh, but don't worry, you take the majority of the money, you are the club chairman, but I still retain some shares. In addition, I have an idea."
"You said." Yu Yue said.
"I don't want the club's name to be changed." Zhong Tai said embarrassedly.
Yu Yue was surprised when he heard this and did not change his name? That's a big deal!
This requirement is actually very ridiculous. Yu Yue wanted to buy a club, of course he wanted to give him the word "Spring Breeze". Otherwise, why would he play with it? There would be no brand effect.
Just imagine one day, if the Chuncheng Club swept across Asia, the name was not Chunfeng, but Zhong Tai's group. Isn't this spending his own money to make wedding dresses for others?
"I know my request is inappropriate, but I really want to keep this name. Our Chuncheng Club was the first to be established. Over the years, it has actually formed a culture. In fact, it is the same as foreign ones, just like forests have not changed their name. Although forests are not a group company, can we also preserve this name as part of the culture? In fact, over time, everyone knows that Chunfeng is the holder of the club, just like forests, but you are Yu Yue's forest." Zhong Tai said.
Yu Yue thought about it and it made sense. Indeed, everyone still knew that it was theirs, and more importantly, the superstructure understood, but still felt a little awkward.
"Yu Yue, I ask you to promise me that in this way, I will sell you 50% of the shares of the club in my hand. Don't be too high and go at the normal price. Then I will pay you a certain naming fee every year, keep this name and this tradition, okay?"
Zhong Tai's sincere words and almost begging made Yu Yue deeply touched him.
This old man is not a standard businessman. He retains traditional things in his bones. He is stubborn about cultural heritage and really has feelings for the club.
"Okay!" Yu Yue didn't hesitate anymore, and then said, "I won't pay the premium, but I'll forget about the sponsorship fee."
"No, it must!" Zhong Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, but he felt that the money should be paid.
"Forget it!" Yu Yue shook his head and said, "I respect Uncle Zhong's ideas. We won't talk about small money, but I have something to say."
"You said." Zhong Tai said.
"Since I have not taken over all the shares, I will definitely increase my investment after I settle in, otherwise we may not come down. What if other shareholders do not agree or you don't want to lose money at that time?" Yu Yue asked.
"It's simple. According to the market, since you are a shareholder, you must comply with the opinions of the board of directors. You have an absolute say, so if you want to invest, you have to invest. If everyone is unwilling to pursue the investment, then the shares will be transferred?" Zhong Tai said.
Yu Yue felt relieved when he heard this, and then said, "Will Uncle Zhong follow me to compensate?"
Zhong Tai smiled and said, "You let me compensate myself alone, but if you receive the compensation, what are I afraid of? You are too underestimating me, a veteran powerhouse. Besides, I believe you can build the team well. Wouldn't the equity increase at that time? I can't afford to pay, so I can cash out and leave."
After the two agreed, they agreed to go to the leader's place. It is necessary to say hello to the superiors in this change, because although the club is private, it is a good thing for someone to care about and care.
