"Mr. Yang Huan"

"Young Master Huan, you're late"

"Oh, Master Huan, you are here. We are still thinking about you just now."

"Master Huan, you don't need to say much. Let's have a meal together tonight. I'll treat you. I must give me face."

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan, I am..."

As soon as Yang Huan walked into the conference room on the eighth floor of the Landmark Hotel, the scene suddenly became noisy.

Almost everyone stood up and surrounded Yang Huan, rushing to show their diligence.

There is no way, Southampton is just awesome, what can you do?

Although Southampton is currently in the middle of the Premier League rankings and does not perform well, but if you want to talk about the ability to make money, it is one by one.

After Southampton participated in the International Champions League this summer and won the championship, the Saints announced that the team signed four consecutive sponsorship contracts for Intel, Apple, Mets and Tommy O'Hillfeiger.

With these four contracts, Southampton can earn 110 million pounds, 22 million pounds a year.

But before everyone could react, not long after returning to London, Southampton announced that it would sign a sponsorship contract with Cadbury, a famous British retail company, for 6 million pounds a year.

Immediately afterwards, he signed a new contract with Heineken, which can receive a sponsorship fee of 10 million pounds a year.

Later, Southampton announced that it had signed a sponsorship contract with Chinese company Huawei and American fast food company KFC.

The British Times once calculated that Southampton's annual business income increased by at least 40 million pounds after operating this summer.

And this does not include Citibank's annual £10 million, and Adidas and Qatar Airways each have their respective main sponsorship income of £30 million each year.

If it all adds up, it will be more than 100 million pounds

This ability to make money is always a big deal when it comes to the entire European football world.

What's more, Southampton also announced at the new season jersey launch conference in early August that the Saints will cooperate with the American sponsor, the famous casual leading brand Tommy O'Hilfiger, and will officially launch the Saints clothing brand and Ibrahimovic's IH9's personal brand starting next year.

This is also seen as another breakthrough in Southampton's business operations.

Moreover, this jersey press conference in August was also well received by the outside world. In addition to the Southampton jerseys being played by Norman Foster and his friends, Christopher Bailey, the world's top designer who joined Aspree and Gerard luxury companies last year, also designed a casual series with very Saint elements.

These have aroused the pursuit of the media and fans, and the sales have been very good.

Many people even believe that Southampton's business operation capabilities are now not inferior to Manchester United at all.

More importantly, the Saints have a very high influence among young fans.

Many media have questioned before that, believing that the Saints Fan Club founded by Southampton may not be able to continue.

The reason is that the members who paid 100,000 pounds last year will not renew their payment this year.

But after the results in August came out, they slapped them in the face again.

All 1,000 members paid a membership fee of 100,000 pounds.

This is another £100 million

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 major sponsors in the United States, Southampton's revenue capacity is enough for other Premier League teams to feel jealous.

Of course, Manchester United is not bad either. The signing of Chevrolet's record sponsorship contract also greatly increased the Red Devils' revenue.

In addition, Arsenal and Manchester City have also made a lot of money from the US International Champions League.

Therefore, this event naturally made other teams feel jealous.

Who doesn't want to make more money?

With money, you can introduce more powerful stars, improve the team's strength, obtain better rankings, earn more money, and form a virtuous cycle.

So, when these Premier League bosses, chairmen or CEOs, saw Yang Huan walking into the venue, they all licked their faces and leaned over, as if they had completely forgotten how they targeted Southampton.

Yang Huan knew exactly what was going on, but the so-called "to push people without slapping smiles" is that they are polite to you, you can't be too disrespectful, right?

So, he smiled at everyone.

"Hi, Roman" Yang smiled and reached out to Abramovich.

Russians feel so embarrassed, but there are so many people, you can't be disrespectful, right?

So he also stood up quickly, "Hello, Mr. Yang Huan."

After Yang Huan shook hands politely with him, he walked towards his position.

When passing by Manchester City Chairman Mubarak, the real power manager, the leader of the Premier League standings, stood up and gave Yang Huan a warm bear hug, as if he was afraid that others would not know that the two teams were close.

Although Manchester City introduced Stroman from Southampton at a high price this summer, the Dutchman's outstanding performance helped Manchester City to stand out in the Premier League standings, and the money was spent valuable.

"Master Huan, these guys' faces have become really fast."

As soon as Yang Huan sat down in his position, Peter Nion came over 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 here and the meeting began.

As usual, there is still the CEO of the Premier League, Richard Coodmore announced the issue of the meeting.

It is mainly divided into two parts.

The first part is to introduce everyone to the latest situation of the Premier League and the operation of broadcast 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 working hard negotiations, we finally signed a series of broadcast rights contracts with our partners."

With Scudmoore's words, Premier League staff came out and distributed a document to everyone present, which clearly listed the specific auction of the Premier League broadcast rights.

These are all announced to the public, and there is nothing to be surprised about.

The focus is on broadcasting fees.

"Seven local broadcast negotiations have brought us a total of 3.3 billion pounds of revenue."

As soon as Skudmore finished speaking, the scene was in full swing.

“Wow”

"Three and three billion pounds?"

"Oh my God, I'm not dreaming, right? It's so unbelievable."

"Three seasons are 3.3 billion, and that season is 1.1 billion pounds."

"I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy. Isn't the money that each team can get more?"

"Damn it, I have to relegate in the Premier League anyway."

"Not it? I'm down to the Championship and can't even make a fraction of the Premier League deputy squad leader. I'll definitely have to relegate."

"The competition will definitely be fierce during the winter break, so you have to prepare quickly."

Everyone was talking, but Skudmore was very satisfied with the atmosphere on the scene.

As the steward of the Premier League, his job is to satisfy all the bosses present.

Obviously, this time he did a good job

"In addition to the local broadcasting rights, the broadcasting rights of the highlights of the event in the next three years will be bought by EC TV for 200 million pounds."

This shocked everyone on the scene again.

However, with the previous 3.3 billion, there is nothing to be surprised about now.

But soon someone thought of another big cake.

"Richard, what about overseas copyrights? Is there any increase?"

"Yes, the local copyright of the Premier League has been increased so much, has the overseas copyright been increased?"

After someone asked this, everyone's attention immediately fell on Skudmore.

The CEO of the Premier League smiled slightly, "We are happy to announce that the overseas copyright revenue in the next three years will total up to £2.4 billion."

"Wow, £2.4 billion?"

"Oh my God, it's 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, and she was completely carried away.

Yang Huan was flipping through the documents in his hand lightly. He noticed that Asia accounted for the largest share of overseas copyright sales in the Premier League, and also grew the most, reaching one billion pounds.

You should know that in the current contract of 1.4 billion pounds, the copyright in Asia is only 500 million pounds, with an amazing growth rate, while Thailand has the largest share in Asia, reaching 200 million pounds.

Following closely behind are Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India and Indonesia.

China ranks seventh and Japan ranks tenth, which is obviously unreasonable.

It is not difficult to see from this that the potential available for exploration in Asia is still quite huge.
