Chapter 778(1/2)
"Master Huan, something is not good!"
When everyone in the room was surprised when they heard Nikola Cortez shouting, they looked over in one go.
The Italian banker realized that he had lost his composure and was a little embarrassed, but he still came over.
"Nicolah, what's going on?" Yang Huan frowned.
This is a critical moment. If something happens at this time, it may be a big deal!
If something happened to a fan, then what Yang Huan was most worried about would happen.
So, at this moment, Yang Huan's heart was so hung in his voice.
"Master Huan, many fan organizations came to me just now, or called me, but they couldn't buy tickets at all."
When Nikola Cortez said this, Yang Huan was obviously relieved.
Yaya Goebbels, it turns out that this is the case, scaring the baby to death!
But soon, his brows frowned. Fans couldn't buy tickets, which was also a difficult problem.
For example, Southampton plays at home against Bayern Munich, and St. Mary's Stadium has only more than 30,000 seats. If some of the club's gift tickets are deducted, they will take out about 25,000 to sell them. What's the result?
There are more than 400,000 players who want to buy tickets!
Oh my God, it's 400,000!
Even the Camp Nou Stadium cannot accommodate so many people!
"Master Huan, I just contacted the Lisbon Municipal Government. It was initially estimated that there were 150,000 tourists and fans, but in fact, there are 150,000 now. By night, there are 200,000 people!"
"Most of these 200,000 people are our fans of Southampton and Atletico Madrid, so the city government hopes that we can actively cooperate with them for diversion and guidance."
The Light Stadium in Lisbon can only accommodate 58,000 fans in total, and Southampton and Atletico Madrid each received 17,000 tickets, which is a drop in the bucket for both teams.
According to Southampton's usual distribution in the past, each player can be allocated fifty tickets per game. The coaching staff, employees and sponsors have some free tickets. In addition, the Saints Fan Club has 1,000 members, and each person has five tickets, which adds up to nearly seven thousand tickets.
In other words, at most, only 10,000 copies can be found in the hands of fans.
But these 10,000 tickets are not fairly distributed. For example, fans who hold team tickets for this season and next season have priority refusal, and the club's official fan organization will allocate a certain number of tickets.
As a result, this point is not enough at all.
"Originally, these fans who came to Lisbon all hoped to buy tickets on site, and some even planned to grab tickets from scalpers. As a result, the tickets outside have been sold for 4,000 euros each, and it is still hard to get a ticket!"
When Yang Huan heard this, he smiled helplessly.
There are only so many people sitting in the Guangming Stadium, and he is also helpless, okay?
Could it be that he can make magic? He can make everyone smaller and stuff them all in?
"Nicolah, you should explain these things to the fans. It's useless to tell me!"
Of course Nikola Cortez knew, "Master Huan, I have explained it to the fans, but there is one thing that I believe you should have a solution."
"What's the matter?" Yang Huan was surprised. What could he do?
"According to the ticket allocation, we and Atletico Madrid each received 17,000 tickets, but UEFA had 24,000 tickets. According to the information I received, they still have a lot of tickets in their hands, but I communicated with them, and they refused to supply them to us, and they refused to even pay for purchases."
Yang Huan immediately understood.
Actually, if you think about it, UEFA is indeed very dark.
The two teams participating in the competition only received 34,000 tickets in total, but you can get 24,000 tickets in one UEFA.
Of course, considering that ticket sales revenue is also a major source of income for UEFA in the Champions League final, Yang Huan feels that such distribution is understandable.
But the question is, if you still have tickets in your hands now, why can't you sell them to fans of both teams?
"In this way, Nikola, you go to raise tickets internally. I believe that there should be a lot of players, employees and sponsors! All the remaining tickets will be raised for fans, as for UEFA..."
Yang Huan thought for a while, "I happened to have something to come to Platini, so I'll talk to him!"
"Well, okay, then I'll do it right away!"
"Go!" Yang Huan waved his hand.
After seeing off Nikola Cortez, Yang Huan sent away the management of various clubs one after another.
Then he called Platini and made an appointment to have lunch in the private room of Wangjiang Pavilion.
An hour later, Yang Huan met the UEFA president who was like a thief in the second floor of the Lisbon branch of Wangjiang Pavilion.
This guy should be afraid of being seen and causing trouble!
"Don't worry so much, Michelle, the more you fear, the more you will be!" Yang Huan laughed when he saw his appearance.
"Look at me, I'm not afraid of heaven or earth, and I haven't seen anything happen to me!"
As soon as Platini sat down, she smiled bitterly, "Master Huan, you are you, can I compare with you?"
If we have the ability of Master Huan, no, as long as we have half of Master Huan’s ability, we still have to be the miserable UEFA President?
I don’t even see it if I give us a FIFA president!
"Okay, okay, I'll just say it!" Yang Huan waved his hand with a smile.
Platini laughed twice, and saw that Master Huan had already ordered a table of delicious food, he immediately started to eat without hesitation, and even praised it and said it was delicious.
After almost the meal, the UEFA president remembered the serious things.
"Master Huan, what do you think you have something to come to me?" Platini asked.
To be honest, he was a little wary of meeting Young Master Huan at this sensitive moment.
I'm afraid that Young Master Huan will do something in the Champions League final by himself, that's too much risk.
Besides, aren’t Southampton and Atletico Madrid both Master Huan’s teams? Is it necessary to do anything else?
Yang Huan understood in his heart, but did not show it, but smiled slightly, "I heard that you still have some tickets in your hands that have not been sold, right?"
"Tickets?" Platini frowned and thought for a while, "Well, yes, there are some tickets, but not many. They are all assigned to sponsors and invited guests, and some are mobile tickets, so..."
Yang Huan nodded, "Actually, it's already noon now. All the things that should be here have come. Those who haven't come will probably not come again. So, I'm wondering if I can take out those tickets and share them with the two teams to sell them?"
After saying that, Yang Huan didn't want Platini to misunderstand him and added, "Of course, the income from ticket sales belongs to UEFA!"
Just kidding, there are at least a few thousand remaining tickets in UEFA. If converted into money, it would be a considerable amount.
As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly, Yang Huan never cares about such trivial matters.
If he really wants to calculate, it will definitely be a large number.
Platini thought for a while, "I have to discuss this matter with them again when I look back, but I believe that there is no big problem!"
This is also considered to be the UEFA president's agreement.
Yang Huan also nodded with satisfaction, "There is another thing."
"Please tell me, Mr. Huan!"
Platini is now riding on the same boat with Yang Huan, and to some extent, he has to look at Young Master Huan's expression.
Therefore, he did not dare to say that he was obedient to Yang Huan's request, but he did his best to satisfy him.
"It's not difficult. I just want you to postpone the bid for the venue of the 2016 Champions League final to announce it for a few months."
"Delayed? Why?" Platini was very surprised.
According to past practice, it should be announced now.
But why did Young Master Huan postpone the announcement?
"Our Glory Stadium is already applying to UEFA for a five-star hotel review, and it will be able to pass around June."
Platini immediately understood, "Master Huan, what you mean..."
"Yes, I hope to use the Glory Stadium to apply for the right to host the Champions League final."
Platini nodded.
Platini personally visited the Glory Stadium in Southampton. Whether in terms of software, hardware, or stadium capacity, it has reached the five-star standard. It has passed the five-star review and is not difficult at all.
It can even be said that if the Glory Stadium does not reach five stars, then no team in Europe or even the world can meet the five-star standard, just...
"Young Master Huan, you also know that in recent years, there have been certain requirements for the city where the Champions League finals are held. In Southampton, it may be a bit difficult!"
According to UEFA's requirements, the stadium of the Champions League final must be five-star.
In Europe, there are only more than 30 five-star stadiums, and a considerable number of them have long been abandoned.
More importantly, with the operation over the past decade, the influence of the Champions League has become increasingly greater and its economic promotion effect on the bidding cities has become increasingly obvious. Therefore, selecting some large cities with relatively strong economic strength has become one of the bidding standards for the Champions League hosting cities.
Looking back, almost all European cities are big cities, such as London, Madrid, Berlin, Munich, Milan, etc.
Southampton is just a small city, and there is no way to meet the standards at this point.
"I know, but Southampton belongs to the London one-hour economic circle. Most fans enter and exit through London's airports, and the transportation is very convenient. I believe this should not be a problem, right?"
After hearing this, Platini thought about it again and could only make sense.
"However, Mr. Huan was in Berlin in 2015 and in Milan in 2016. This is a consensus that has been reached. If the trade is adjusted rashly now, it may easily cause controversy."
After hearing this, Yang Huan laughed again, "It's simple. Milan will be held until 2017 and we will apply for it again. Although the time is a little hurry, it is still very time. If we really want to compete fairly, who do you think has a better chance of winning?"
To be continued...
