Chapter 439 Player Database
Ye Qiu doesn't want him to be more concerned, and he doesn't want everyone to focus on his dual identities as the largest shareholder of the agency. He hopes everyone will pay attention to his Tottenham Hotspur boss and head coach.
But he was very clear that the old model would be broken sooner or later. Since Italy was the first to break this model a few years later, then now, he felt that it should be broken by himself and further promoted him.
Eliza is very typhoon, not only beautiful, but also dresses elegantly, behaves calmly and has a pleasant voice. She stands on the main podium, graceful and generous, and cooperates with her words and deeds, with a unique touching flavor. No matter how you look, she doesn't look like a woman who is about to reach the third place, but more like a young girl full of vitality.
And it is precisely her pure and mature charm, which is particularly charming.
"What I want to say is that this is not a ban unique to our agency. It is an open platform. I can even say that in the future, we will gradually transform and engage in commercial development, advertising sponsorship and other peripheral industries, and gradually leave the player transfer market."
This is a difference between high-end and low-end. Player transfers have always been low-end industries and are hard work, but commercial development and advertising sponsorship are the high-end and high-value-added sports industry, especially the packaging and operation of a professional player, which is simply a profitable deal.
Since Ye Qiu started working with Eliza Moon, they have established a high-end route. Therefore, over the years, the agency company has developed very rapidly, but not many players have signed, basically all of them are concentrated on the highest-end level, or the players coached by Ye Qiu, and basically no other ones have been signed.
This also makes the broker company less competitive with its peers from the beginning, and also allows the company to focus more on high-end businesses such as commercial development and advertising sponsorship. Now among all brokerage companies around the world, they are the most professional and capable of operating a player's business development and image packaging.
For Ye Qiu and Eliza, since they want to take the high-end route, they have to put themselves in a neutral position and abandon some low-end and low-value-added businesses so that others are willing to cooperate with you.
Just like Yezi Technology's mobile phone, Ye Qiu has positioned the highest-end from the beginning, and then opened up the mid- and low-end markets to other mobile phone manufacturers. Ye Qiu even thought that if one day Zeus' mobile phone can't be sold, he would consider putting it away and specializing in the research and development of high-end mobile phone systems, mobile phone hardware and applications, so that he can become an innovative company like Microsoft.
"We have created an open platform, which is the largest and most complete player database in the world. We currently have more than 60,000 full-game videos, and will add 500 more every week. We have more than 30 professional analysts analyzing and integrating these game videos and data to serve all football clubs around the world."
Many teams have their own player databases, such as Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. The more modern scouting system has such databases, but they must not be so large and so complete.
But the database is only part of it, and the key is user experience and application convenience.
In addition to the large and complete data, this scout database of the brokerage company also has many innovations. With the display of Eliza Moon one by one, they were presented to everyone on the scene, and they were all full of surprises.
For example, the database can allow scouts to edit all ball-free movements in a certain game of a player, or even make a separate video for download, which can make scouts' inspection more targeted and easier and more convenient.
In addition, everyone can access this platform through terminals such as P notebooks, mobile phones, etc., because there are special software programs on P notebooks, and mobile phones have special AP apps, and they can even use their mobile phones to upload them to the platform while shooting player videos.
Of course, in order to serve every customer, you can choose to keep it confidential or to choose to be public.
All agents can also use this method to upload videos and videos of their players. Through public means, they can watch videos and videos of their players' games all over the world at the same time. At the same time, the platform allows agents to establish archives for each player, improve information, and set up various tags, such as the advantages and disadvantages of their players, some of their players' hard requirements for transfers, or some hopes and messages, etc.
Not only that, the platform also has a dedicated community forum service, which allows everyone to communicate openly and secretly on the forum, and even allows player agents and teams to distribute player transfer information on it.
For example, if my players want to transfer, what kind of team they want to go to, what kind of salary they want to get, what team they want to get, etc., you can choose to post them on the forum, and all registrants entering this forum have undergone strict assessment.
For example, the team staff must provide their job report, and the agent must submit their broker's certificate, and then some commercial users will be introduced one after another, such as some sponsors, some industrial developers, etc.
Of course, for example, some secret sectors of transfers will definitely not allow sponsors and industrial developers to enter. This forum will ensure absolute secrets. Even the forum will set up different private sectors according to the level of player agents and teams, let alone start private chats.
The annual fee for each user is 10,000 euros, but it will not be collected from the player's transfer and commercial sponsorship reached
From this point of view, everyone can rest assured that they will not worry about leaking the secrets, because it will be difficult for journalists and fans to enter it, and they can ensure that privacy is not leaked to the greatest extent and part of the interests will be divided at the same time.
As Eliza was on the stage in less than twenty minutes, she kept showing the platform's various perfect services and facilities, especially some humanized designs, such as player selection, which can be distinguished and selected according to age, EU, location, etc.
"It's not just this platform. Every year, we will hold two forums similar to this, which will be arranged in the last few days of summer transfers and winter breaks. From next season, we will open teams from La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 to enter the forum, and eventually transform the forum into a global football economic forum."
At the end of the speech, Eliza Moon expressed this ambitious goal and expectations, which shocked and amazed everyone present, because if they really got to that point, they would definitely completely revolutionize all existing transfer models.
Ferguson, Wenger and others were sitting in the first row, sitting with Ye Qiu. No one expected that Ye Qiu would have such a big move. This was not just a shock, but it was simply to break the current transfer and football market structure.
If this platform is really done, the movement of players will become more convenient and more efficient in the future than it is now.
Thinking of this, Ferguson couldn't help but think of Platini's appreciation for Ye Qiu a few days ago. Now that he thinks, Platini obviously knows the ideas and creativity of Ye Qiu and Eliza Moon, so this time he will allow Secretary-General David Taylor to come to the scene to show that this move has been affirmed and supported by UEFA.
"Your big deal is indeed big enough," Wenger sat aside and said to Ye Qiu with a wry smile.
His team has been playing for so many years and has accumulated data from nearly 10,000 players, and the videos are less than one-tenth. But now Ye Qiu has taken 60,000 videos of the whole game, and they are from all over the world. In this way, the players' videos will definitely be more comprehensive, which is really terrifying.
Data is king, everyone knows that, like a platform like this, the more data it collects, the more attractive it is.
Ye Qiu smiled, but thought in his heart that the foundation accumulated by the Dutch team's scouting system over the years is something that other league teams cannot surpass in a short period of time, especially for teams like Ajax, Eindhoven, and Feyenoord. They collect players from all over the world, which is amazing.
Of course, 60,000 is just the beginning, and more will be collected in the future, but at that time, it will be done by agents and part-time scouts from all over the world. After all, one person, or even a group of people, will never be as good as the general public.
"I'm very surprised. Since there is such a platform, why do you still have to set up a forum?" Ferguson frowned and asked.
Ye Qiu smiled, "The platform is the platform, the forum is the forum. In the future, the forum will be held in the last few days of the transfer market. The purpose is to attract teams that are still hesitating and provide them with an opportunity to meet the player's agents face to face, or the other party's club officials, communicate face to face to gain trust."
"Maybe, they had almost finished their talks before meeting, but for the sake of safety, they decided to find an opportunity to meet. The forum provided them with such opportunities. Of course, there were other benefits, such as major football associations and even the registered offices of UEFA will be in the forum venue."
After hearing this, Ferguson couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, and asked with a smile: "Let me tell me how many customers do you have now?"
Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, "This is a secret."
When Ferguson and Wenger heard this, they laughed and scolded, and they were even playing mysterious.
Benitez, who was standing by, said coldly, "It seems that several teams in La Liga have joined."
When Fatty Bei said this, Ye Qiu didn't know how to deny it. He smiled and nodded, "That's why we are so confident that we will join La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 next year, and even the Dutch Eredivisie and Portuguese Super League to complete the celebration of major European leagues."
When talking about this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but say: "Actually, I don't know if you have noticed it. Maybe you haven't noticed that the players' salaries are rising, the head coach's salary is rising, the coaching staff and even the employees of many club positions are rising, but the salary of our scouts seems to have not increased for many years."
According to a detailed market collection report obtained by Ye Qiu, in the four professional league-level clubs in England, the average salary of scouts is basically based on the principle of distribution by work. That is to say, every time you submit a player inspection report, you can get a fee, and the average is four pounds.
Of course, scouts can get a monthly salary from the club every month, but this salary is so low that you don’t even believe it yourself, and it’s impossible for you to support yourself, let alone your family. So you have to find another job with a relatively generous salary to support yourself, so most of the scouts work part-time.
The reason why Sevilla is able to constantly introduce so many low-cost stars is that they have 700 scouts outside, but they all work part-time. Each scout submits an analysis report from a player to get an income ranging from four to ten euros depending on the report, and their basic salary is almost negligible.
So, for Sevilla, it is not difficult to support these scouts.
There is another type of scout who specializes in tactical inspections. They are called tactical scouts, which means they are tested by looking at the opponents. This requires them to be completed by watching the game. Therefore, when submitting game reports and analysis, they can get reimbursement for tickets and some appropriate travel expenses, but the average inspection fee for each game is four pounds in the Premier League.
But if you look at it this way, you may think that tactical scouts are obviously much more profitable than player scouts. But the problem is that after tactical scouts observe the game, they must write a game analysis report. In order to avoid scouts making fraud, each team has requirements for the length of the game analysis report, at least ten pages or more, and at most even twenty pages are required.
Tottenham Hotspur has currently formed a scouting system with less than ten real full-time players, including Peter DeVisel. The other nine full-time scouts are either responsible for analysis and collection at Theobord training base, or are distributed around the world, specifically responsible for a certain area, developing the club's scout network and system, and of course, attracting some part-time scouts to work for the club.
Next, according to Ye Qiu and Eliza's conception, the platform will also absorb this huge scouting crowd and expand the platform's player database in the shortest time. They also believe that this can create a new opportunity for scouts to change this traditional interests and working model between them and the club.
Ye Qiu even asked Eliza to contact Sky TV to see if the other party was willing to sell OpT's company.
After this data company was acquired by Sky TV, its scale gradually expanded, but it has few employees, only a few dozen people, and the company is not large in size. However, it is already a very authoritative banner in football data. Now, you can get tens of millions of euros in sales every year by selling data alone, but the overall market value will not be too high and the acquisition will not be difficult. However, it is a very necessary supplement to the scout data platform. After all, the concept of the platform is that data is king, and authoritative data of OpTAR is undoubtedly necessary.
After Eliza Moon introduced the features and services of the player database platform, the football economic forum officially began, but don’t imagine that this will be an orderly venue, because you will definitely be disappointed.
Although everyone entering this venue was wearing a well-equipped suit and wearing a carefully selected special tie, which looked polite, when the forum started to operate, you will find that they all rushed forward regardless of their image.
Because this forum attracted four levels of England, and the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly twenty Premier League teams, the Premier League teams, especially the top-ranked Premier League teams, have attracted the most independent agents, and they all want to recommend their players to these clubs.
For a time, the areas where these clubs were located were overcrowded and overwhelmed. Judging from the number of people on the spot, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur attracted the most independent agents, while Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton and other teams followed closely, and the rest were almost the same, and even many English Championship teams were quite popular.
For these clubs, they actually have no losses. Participating in such a forum allows them to obtain the data of players submitted by their agents, and this is also their self-display platform for all teams and agents at once.
When Ye Qiu and others saw such a lively and chaotic scene, they all smiled bitterly.
"Maybe, you will be interested in VIp." Ye Qiu smiled and recommended an independent area next door.
The so-called VI is actually some big-name agents, such as the agent company of Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes, arranged a vice president to come to the scene, preparing to recommend his players to some potential clients, as well as Brazil's Juan Ferger, who also specially arranged his son and an executive to come to the venue.
Even Ferguson's son's agent company has arrived, but they don't know the specific content and projects in advance.
After hearing this, Ferguson seemed to be a little moved. He walked over with a laugh and prepared to see and meet a few people. After all, he has been involved in the football circle for many years and there are still many familiar agents. Naturally, some independent agents will inevitably stuff some players' information and reports into Ferguson's hands along the way.
The Scots seemed quite happy, and they followed up with a smile.
Seeing Ferguson leaving, Wenger and Benitez also left one after another. Mourinho glanced at Ye Qiu with some envy and hatred, and walked towards the VIp box where Jorge Mendez was. Even though he was not very willing, he had to admit that he was indeed inferior to Ye Qiu in terms of innovation.
Ye Qiu was not too surprised by the chaos at the scene, because this was a rare opportunity for independent agents. Why didn’t they quickly recommend their players to the football club?
Don’t think that only big teams attract the attention of their agents. In fact, on the contrary, as long as you know how to operate, small teams often have many advantages that big teams do not have, and even small teams will have more opportunities.
Ye Qiu had a premonition that the final transactions of this football economic forum will not be too many, and if there were no accidents, they should be small teams. This is an experience of losing money and making a name for themselves, but it is an important process and stage for the player database platform to make his name and gradually build this football economic forum into a brand.
Ye Qiu himself has no players to do. At present, Tottenham Hotspur's all fronts are very reasonable, and for the time being, he has no demand.
But his lack of this idea does not mean that no one will come to him.
