"Okay, I understand. Mr. Liu, please tell them for me. I welcome their arrival at any time."
During the halftime break of the El Clasico, Lister received a call from England. Originally, La Liga games started very late, but now La Liga also starts a little early to take care of Asian audiences. It is only about nine o'clock in the evening.
"Chinese?"
"kindness."
Lister nodded. The person who just called Lister was Liu Hongwei, the chairman of AutoNavi. The two have cooperated very well for more than ten years. The two of them have monopolized the channels for European giants to compete in business competitions in Asia.
In the world economy for more than ten years, the Asian economy has been developing faster and faster. If List and Liu Hongwei first cooperated, China's economy was still in the stage of development. Then since the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, Asia's economy has been developing faster and faster.
The status of the economy in the world is becoming more and more important. China's economic development is attracting more and more attention at this time, and everyone is surprised by the strength of the Asian economy. Therefore, European football is also paying more and more attention to the distant Asian market.
Therefore, in the past ten years or so, European giants have basically come to China to play commercial games, and of course they also play commercial games in other parts of Asia. But AutoNavi, as the largest sports promotion company in Asia, every time a European giant comes to Asia
, you can make a lot of money. For example, when the Italian Super Cup was held in Beijing last summer, AutoNavi operated the game and ultimately spent more than 200 million yuan. Of course, Lister, as a partner of AutoNavi, also earned
A share of over 10 million euros was reached.
Of course, it is not that there are other sports companies that want to avoid AutoNavi and List. However, AutoNavi and List have cooperated for many years and have formed very formal operating methods. And many sports companies in Asia have
Recognize the brand of AutoNavi. Therefore, those who want to take this business from them can only use higher and higher appearance fees to attract European wealthy families. Some wealthy families have been fooled.
When Meng Er was at its peak, especially after the introduction of Henry in 2006, Barcelona wanted to play games in Asia. After all, Barcelona had top superstars like Ronaldinho and Henry at the time. At that time, List represented Gao
The German company negotiated with Barcelona and the conditions offered were very generous. It was precisely because Barcelona's performance at that time was very good and Meng Er's influence was great, so Riester's bottom line at that time was an appearance fee of 3 million euros, which was about 3,000 RMB.
Ten thousand.
If Barcelona plays about five games in Asia, then it will be able to take away about 15 million euros in appearance fees alone. Plus some other income, it is very easy to get more than 20 million euros in one go. And
If the marketing was better, maybe 30 million euros would not be impossible to earn.
But at this time, a sports promotion company appeared and finally shouted for an appearance fee of five million euros. Lister and AutoNavi quit the negotiation on the spot, because the appearance fee of five million euros did not even make a profit in the end. Completely
It's about losing money and making money. Judging from the many years of cooperation between Lister and AutoNavi, how could they engage in such a money-losing business?
In the end, the talks collapsed. Barcelona and they reached an agreement. But for this kind of contract, Barcelona required some deposits in advance. But at the last moment, they couldn't come up with such a high deposit. The one who shouted five million euros
The sports company is just a shell company. They wanted to use Barcelona's empty hand, so they couldn't find the money to pay them a deposit. In the end, the cooperation fell through. Barcelona had been preparing for a long trip to Asia, but in the end it was a piece of cake.
It is precisely because of the emergence of this kind of informal company that AutoNavi's status in Asia is getting higher and higher, and its influence in European wealthy clubs is also growing. So much so that now the European giants' Asia tours go through AutoNavi.
company, and AutoNavi, except for places like China and Hong Kong, subcontracts commercial competitions in other countries to their own sports promotion companies. AutoNavi has also grown from a small domestic company in China more than ten years ago to now
It has become the largest sports promotion company in Asia. Liu Hongwei has also grown from a small fortune back then to a sports giant with a net worth of more than one billion yuan.
"The chairman of China's AutoNavi Company, you should know him."
"know."
Carvajal nodded. When Real Madrid visited China, he went with them and met them. Carvajal understood that List and AutoNavi were partners, and even established AutoNavi Asia Sports Promotion together.
The company. Lister himself also invested a lot of money.
"Looks like I'm going to London."
"how?"
"The big Chinese bosses are also going to enter the football industry."
"Chinese money?"
In fact, European countries that are now in a downturn are counting on Chinese funds to come and help them. This is also true in European football. Many powerful teams are short of money, so they look to China. After all, the world's economy is in a mess now.
Only the economies of East Asia, led by China, Japan and South Korea, are booming.
…………
The El Clásico did not continue to pay attention. The two sides drew one to one. It was Mourinho's first draw with Barcelona after coming to Real Madrid.
Of course, there were some episodes during the game, that is, Pepe, who had a record number of red cards in the El Clasico, received a red card again in this game. Fortunately, he only accumulated two yellow cards and there was no boxing action.
But at this time, Lister had already arrived in London and met Liu Hongwei. Then he followed Liu Hongwei to meet the big Chinese boss that Lister wanted to meet, but it was not the big boss himself, but his representative.
"Mr. Liu, I have heard about the reputation of Evergrande Group for a long time."
"I don't dare. Mr. Cherny is famous, and everyone in Chinese football knows it."
The person who could make Riester come over in a hurry was Liu Yongzhuo, the vice president of China Evergrande Group. It was Riester who contacted the company through AutoNavi on behalf of Evergrande Group.
Others don’t know it, but List knows it. Evergrande Group will soon take over Guangzhou Football in a few months. Then the glory of Guangzhou Football will begin, and they will even win the AFC Champions League in a few years.
champion.
"Please take a seat."
Liu Yongzhuo was surprised by Lister's fluent Chinese. Although he had heard that Lister's Chinese was very good before meeting Lister, he did not expect that his Chinese would be so good. There is almost no difference between him and the Chinese. No wonder when
When he asked about agents who had deep connections with Chinese football, many people recommended List.
It is not impossible for Liu Yongzhuo to contact List alone, but he cannot do so. Because List is not only the number one agent in world football, but also a rich man who can enter the Forbes rich list. How can such a person be?
He can meet whenever he wants. Only his boss is qualified to ask Lister to meet. That’s why he found AutoNavi and contacted Lister through Liu Hongwei.
"Mr. Liu, I don't know why you are looking for me?"
In fact, it is impossible for Evergrande to bring much benefit to List. After all, Chinese football has restrictions on foreign players, and the restrictions are not small. And even if Evergrande is rich, it will not introduce too expensive players.
Moreover, among the players with high net worth in European football, who will go to play in China? No matter how rich the Chinese league is, it will not be attractive to many European stars in their prime.
But List still attaches great importance to the arrival of Liu Yongzhuo, the vice president of Evergrande and the future chairman of Guangzhou Evergrande Club. It is not because of the profit, but because List has been looking for a place to retire for his players.
The Middle East is very good, but the number of players it can accommodate is limited. China is good, and its economy is becoming more and more developed. The enthusiasm for football is also getting higher and higher. And Chinese bosses will also dare to invest in the next few years. Of course, although it is for retirement. But
We won’t let those in their 70s or 80s go there to provide for their retirement. Even if it is for their retirement, they will also let those players who are truly capable to provide for their retirement.
Nowadays, more and more players are over 30, and Lister has to arrange their future lives. The Chinese League can consume a lot of veterans. This can not only increase the exposure of the Chinese League, but also increase the popularity of the Chinese League.
It can bring experience to the Chinese league. At the same time, it can also arrange for its players to earn some money in the later years of their careers. How could Lister give up on such a multi-purpose thing?
"Mr. Cherny, our Evergrande Group is also preparing to enter the football world."
"European football?"
"No, it's the Chinese League."
Lister already knew it, but he still pretended to hear it for the first time and nodded. Then he said: "Then I don't know if there is any need for me. I like China and I also hope that the Chinese league can develop. I once worked with China
The players have cooperated a lot and left a good impression on me. I can help wherever needed."
Lister's performance was very generous. With Lister's current status, he cannot be too eager for a Chinese club. But Lister also does not want China's future investment to be taken away by other agents. Therefore, Lister
Te can only express his love for Chinese football in other ways.
"Thank you, Mr. Cherney."
Liu Yongzhuo was very happy. He knew List before coming here. As long as he knows List, he can understand List's status in world football.
For example, Messi, the highest-paid player in world football, has a salary of 13 million euros after tax. Torres and Yaya Toure, the highest-paid players in the Premier League, both have a weekly salary of 220,000 pounds. They both belong to
Leicester's players. Moreover, almost half of the transfers with extremely high transfer fees in recent years are Leicester's players.
Some boring people will calculate Lister's annual income. There is a very exaggerated statistic that Lister's current annual income is hundreds of millions of euros. In fact, his statistics are not exaggerated. In the past three or four years, Lister's annual income is
His income is indeed more than hundreds of millions of euros. In the past three or four years, Riester's income has been higher and higher. In the past three years alone, he has earned more than 500 million euros. Because Riester's current income is not only
Limited to transfer commissions, player transfer fees, and salary sharing, List has now begun to have some other industries. Therefore, many people are unable to calculate List's income.
Although he is the vice president of Evergrande Group, he was already prepared to be rejected. Unexpectedly, List was more comfortable than he thought. So he said happily: "We are expected to play in the second level league next season.
Our goal is to upgrade. Therefore, we hope to use Mr. Cherny’s connections to introduce several powerful players to help the club upgrade.”
List nodded. In fact, List understood some of the recent events in Chinese football. Especially during the anti-gambling and anti-gang scandal in Chinese football in the past two months, Guangzhou Medical Baiyunshan Club, the predecessor of Guangzhou Evergrande, was involved in
It's very serious. Several senior executives of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical have been arrested. Demotion is a certainty.
"Okay, no problem. I will compile a document and send it to you whenever you want it."
"Thank you Mr. Cherny, we hope to get players who can compete."
"No need. The most important thing for me is mutual benefit. I won't use players to trick you. European football clubs can prove this to me. My credibility has been built by my fifteen years as an agent. I hope
I can cooperate with the Chinese League for a long time and will not do that kind of deceptive business." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
