Chapter 554 This is the rhythm of dying!

Over the past two or three seasons, the Hilton Park Road Hotel in the east of London Hyde Park, each of the last few days of the transfer period, has gathered a large number of agents and club staff from all over the world.

All of them came here for only one purpose, Football Economic Forum

The first football economic forum only accepted English teams, and the second quickly spread to the five major European leagues, even second-rate leagues including the Netherlands and Portugal. This year, the third session, due to the accumulation of rich experience in four grand events in the first two years, finally decided to make a big deal and open it directly to the public.

Hilton Hotel has also taken advantage of its cooperation with Moon Sports Services, so they have provided the maximum support for this football event that is held twice a year, because this is not only to attract customers for them, but also to increase their popularity.

The size of the venue has changed from the first floor to the current third floor. There is another floor that is specially provided for the Football Association and the Club office, so there are four floors in total. The three-story venue is concentrated in the three banquet hall floors of the Hilton Hotel. You can go up and down directly through the stairs, which is very convenient.

With the popularity of the football economic forum for two consecutive years, more and more media and fans are paying attention to this feast. They will care about who can become the protagonist in the transfer market on the last day, who can perform the final crazy of the transfer market, and who can make a surprise move at the last moment?

With the popularity of the Football Economic Forum, the player database has spread its business to the world in just three years. Although at first glance, it seems that a user's fee of 10,000 euros is very cheap, and it is not enough to collect it, right?

Do you know? In the past three years, the player database has attracted more than 3,000 registered users in total. In other words, income from membership fees alone exceeds 30 million euros a year, because there are so many agents, so many professional clubs, so many sponsors and football practitioners all over the world, and they all hope to climb this platform.

It is difficult to calculate in detail what impact the emergence of the Football Economic Forum and the player database has had on the entire football industry, but everyone clearly sees that even if the summer transfer and winter break transfers are very popular, every three days before the end of the transfer period, the Football Economic Forum can set off the final frenzy.

Moon Sports Services is very clear about its positioning, that is, neutrality, detached neutrality, so it hardly participates in any dispute between clubs, agents and players, nor does it participate in any transfer links. It provides an information platform to allow all people in need to find the answers they want.

And now it is just the first step. With the support of OpTA's huge and authoritative database, the sports service company will continue to move forward in the future. While ensuring user experience, it will continue to develop more and more convenient tools to users, so that everyone can find what they want faster and more accurately.

For example, attract more sponsors to enter, but it is not just top sponsors like Adidas and Nike. After all, for some small teams, sponsors like Adidas are simply unsatisfied, so Moon Sports Service Company is also open to the public and accepts some formal and commercial companies that are interested in investing in the football industry.

Of course, as Eliza Moon outlined back then, there must be some special things in order to ensure user privacy.

But in general, not only the football economic forum and player database are becoming more and more popular, but even the profit level of Moon Sports Service Company is also rising steadily. As the company's number one major shareholder, Ye Qiu naturally gained fame and fortune.

At least, everyone knows that he has made a great innovation for the football world.

So, when Ye Qiu, accompanied by Peter Kenyon, Ron Gurley and the staff of the sports service company, walked into the venue of the Hilton Hotel and looked at the crowds of people in the scene. People nodded and greeted Ye Qiu along the way, while Ye Qiu maintained his signature friendly and polite response

"How is this year?" Ye Qiu just led the team back from Monaco, so he is not clear about the situation on the Football Economic Forum for the time being, but judging from the scene he saw in front of him, it should be good.

The CEO of the sports service company is Robert Newman. He was promoted and cultivated by Eliza Moon himself. He is an old minister of the sports service company. He is about forty years old and has a good job and courage. At present, Ye Qiu and Eliza have almost handed over all the big and small things to him to deal with.

Robert Newman was always a standard British gentleman outfit, and the only regret was that he had a typical Irish head shape.

"According to my preliminary estimate, the venue will continue to be expanded next year," Robert Newman said with a laugh.

His salary is linked to the company's performance. If the company's performance is good, his salary will be high, so when he says this, he feels so happy.

After hearing this, Ye Qiu, Peter Kenyon and others laughed and understood what this said.

"The biggest news this morning was that Juventus signed in Grosso, and Fiorentina's Portuguese defender Da Costa exchanged clubs with West Ham United winger Savio Enserek. In addition, there are also some important transfers in England, such as Aston Villa introduced Manchester City captain Dunn."

To be honest, it is impossible for a big transfer to appear in the football economic forum, because transfers similar to superstars such as Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be formed in the football economic forum, because such transfers often have very complex and cumbersome business negotiations and interest negotiations.

It’s like when Messi was going to transfer to Manchester City, he had more than 20 commercial sponsorship contracts on him, and Tottenham Hotspur had to settle before the transfer. Otherwise, the club would have to bear the losses themselves from the beginning to the end, so this was destined to be a protracted and long-term battle.

Of course, later Messi announced that he would not leave, and Ye Qiu agreed without saying a word. But behind this, the staff of Tottenham Hotspur administrative department have been doing so for several months of useless work. Many marketers even negotiated with sponsors for several months, which has caused considerable losses and troubles to Tottenham Hotspur.

Because of understanding this, Messi was so unsure before, and even worried that Ye Qiu would sell him tough.

The Football Economic Forum is not a big business, but it can bring together millions of small businesses into a vast ocean.

"The market conditions are generally very good this year. The Premier League spent nearly 600 million pounds this year, about 100 million more than last season. Many of them came from West Ham United and Manchester City. Now, they have basically no action, or only for sale."

Robert Newman is now gradually grasping the market conditions in the entire transfer market. After all, he has been observing this position for two years. If he has not observed some tricks, then the CEO of his sports service company will be idle.

"So, there will be no big deal?" Ron Gurley was a little disappointed.

Robert Newman laughed and shook his head, pointing to a British man in a suit in the distance, "Everton's personnel manager, he has been here for three days. Do you think Moyes can keep such a large sum of money in his hand and not spend it?"

This season, Manchester City has introduced local defender Lescott from Everton, spending 24 million euros. Moyes has not yet made a decent signing, and Everton has not started the new season well, so now is the time for him to spend money to smash people.

Once, Ye Qiu discussed this topic with Platini, that is, is it necessary to reduce the money spent by super rich people such as Abramovich, Abu Dhabi Consortium, Reponolev?

Because in his opinion, the super rich people entered football and spent a lot of money to gain eye effect. It is understandable that they wanted to form a strong team in the shortest time. But if you say that they disrupted the market rules, this is also a bit wrong, because the so-called market rules are that people buy and sell, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Platini feels that the huge spending of money from the super rich may lead to the rapid decline of talents in the middle and lower-level teams, forming that the stronger the strong, the weaker the weaker, just like the situation where Barcelona and Real Madrid dominate the two heroes, and other teams will find it difficult to compete with them.

But Ye Qiu felt that football is always pyramid-shaped, and wealthy families are always a very small number, otherwise they would not be rich families.

All mid- and lower-level teams are not fools. On the contrary, similar to teams such as Everton, Aston Villa, they all have their own way of survival. You can poach people from them. It doesn’t matter. They take your money and run to dig other people’s corners, dig one by one, and dig down one by one.

What's the final result?

Youth Training丨The team got money

For teams like Ajax, Porto, and Lyon, they are just for money. They have crazy development of youth training and only one purpose is to make the club live.

Therefore, Ye Qiu has always not agreed with Platini's fiscal restriction policy, because he feels that this limits the vitality of the transfer market. He thinks the real problem is not who is willing to pay for signing, but the level of fiscal health.

What is financial health?

For example, suppose Chelsea’s market value is 100 million, and Abramovich wanted to introduce Shevchenko, and he lent Chelsea 50 million euros through some means and introduced Shevchenko. Then the players came in at this time, Chelsea’s debt was 50 million euros, while Chelsea’s total market value was 150 million yuan.

There is another way. Assuming that Chelsea's market value is 100 million, Abramovich wanted to introduce Shevchenko, but he invested 50 million euros in some way and introduced players. Then at this time, the arrival of Shevchenko made Chelsea's total market value reach 150 million euros. However, because Abramovich's 50 million yuan was invested, it was not considered debt and financially healthy.

So, what is the difference between these two?

The difference is that if one day Abramovich stopped playing football and wanted to leave Chelsea, then if he invested in the former way, he would automatically become a creditor of Chelsea, and he would be able to get a certain proportion of recycling from Chelsea's bankruptcy and liquidation.

If he uses the latter type, he is investing in funds and is a community with Chelsea. Once Chelsea goes bankrupt, he will get nothing.

In other words, although it seems to be a financial game, the twists and turns inside are very interesting. Ye Qiu is reminding Platini that instead of controlling how others spend money, it is better to control other people's financial health and debt. If all of them are invested, I will take care of you for several hundred million, right?

Football clubs are actually like people. Everyone has different willingness to survive and lifestyles. Whether as a manager of a country or as a manager of an industry, the most important thing is to respect individuals' willingness to survive and lifestyles, the premise is to formulate fair and just laws for them as the standard bottom line.

In the field of football, as long as you have the ability and do not have debts, it has nothing to do with me if you buy players from all over the world.

Anyway, you can't bear it in the future, and you will go bankrupt and liquidate. Your players will have to be sold at a low price, and all teams will take advantage of it.

In fact, Robert Newman's guess is not wrong at all.

In the last few hours of the last afternoon of the last day of the transfer market, the miser Moyes finally took action.

Six million pounds brought Dutch defender Heatinga from Atletico Madrid, ten million pounds brought Biryaretinov from Locomotive Moscow, Russia, and six million pounds brought centre-back Distin from Portsmouth.

Moyes, who is more careful in spending money

Another Aston Villa, who was poached by Manchester City, also made extraordinary moves, Collins, Dunn, Downing, and Volnock

Martin O'Neal is also a guy who is thrifty and thrifty. After entering the Premier League, he managed Aston Villa in an orderly manner. From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that this guy is not a good guy.

However, the final madness in the transfer market happened to Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga giants got Real Madrid's Robben at the last moment of the transfer market, and brought the Dutch fly to the Bundesliga. This transfer should be regarded as the largest transaction transfer for the Football Economic Forum in three consecutive years, with the transfer fee as high as 25 million euros.

The biggest transfer in England was a big upset. Black Cat Sunderland introduced Hul City captain Michael Turner for 12 million pounds. This transfer was also finalized at the last moment of the transfer market.

Ye Qiu witnessed the entire process of Robben's transfer from Real Madrid to Bayern Munich, because he happened to be talking to Rummenigge at the time. After the two sides agreed, Ye Qiu also called to congratulate Robben, wishing that Robben would have a good development prospect in Bayern Munich.

Ajax's third son star turned to Real Madrid in a glorious way. Now, after a while, Sneijder went to Manchester United, Robben went to Bayern Munich, and Van der Fate almost went to Manchester City, but he still failed in the end. It has to be said that it is a very sad thing.

However, there are joys and sorrows. Although Ye Qiu was regretting the transfer of his former disciples, everyone was excited about the successful end of the third Football Economic Forum. This event is becoming more and more prosperous, so that there is still a copycat trend in European football now.

Not long ago, an Austrian company also founded a so-called football forum and player data platform. In Italy and Portugal, there are also people doing the same thing, obviously in the business of Moon Sports Services.

Moon Sports Service Company did not give any blow to such a copycat, because the business is like this, there is only open conspiracy, no conspiracy, because conspiracy cannot last long, and only open conspiracy can travel all over the world and be invincible.

The most important thing in this industry is connections and data. Moon Sports Services currently has an absolutely overwhelming advantage in both aspects. It can almost be said that the other small companies with a market share are using to compete?

So, Ye Qiu told Rob Newman that as long as Moon Sports Services does not make mistakes, others will not be able to defeat them.

Moreover, everything is nothing more than a rule. The one who walks in the front eats the crab, and the few who follow it may not even be able to catch the crab shells. This is the reason why early birds eat insects.

But just as the transfer market fell, the next day, a message came from UEFA.

Because of the transfer of young player Kakuta, Chelsea had serious violations and was banned from acquiring players in the next two transfer windows. Kakuta himself was banned for four months and Chelsea was fined 780,000 euros.

This news immediately caused an uproar in European football. The poaching routine led by Pini Zahavi was also common in the European football circle for some time. Many people were very dissatisfied with the Israeli. The storm about Ashley Cole and Ridley King was still very sensational.

Now, there has been another transfer storm with Kakuta, and Chelsea has always given people the impression that they don’t remember the pain.

As early as when Ye Qiu coached Chelsea, he had told Abramovich many times that dominance is difficult to last. If you want to run a team for a long time, you must follow the kingly route. But if they don’t listen, they will continue to walk along the underworld, and Ye Qiu has no choice.

But Ye Qiu didn't have much intention to interfere in other people's affairs, because he still had a lot of things he had not dealt with.

The biggest thing before him is that it is September. After two weeks of national team matches, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Manchester United and Chelsea in the fifth round of the Premier League and the sixth round of the Premier League respectively.

This is simply to kill Tottenham Hotspur’s rhythm
