680 Distressed Arsenal

"Ivan, Arsene, you are too anxious. This way the time will not be enough, but it makes things difficult for me."

The summer transfer has not yet come, but Riester has already felt the signs of a boom in the transfer market this summer.Several giants are not short of money, and several upstarts are ready to circumvent UEFA's "Financial Fair Play Policy".Everyone has money in their hands, and they are starting to move around in the transfer market again.Moreover, the transfer market is always one chain after another. As long as a certain rich family and upstart make a move, it will have a series of effects.

The transfer of Naples players is just the beginning, and some other big transfers have not yet started.Real Madrid signings are fierce, but they also need to clean up players to make room for salary.And as long as Real Madrid starts cleaning players, they will be able to enter the prosperous period of European football immediately.

Rist was busy working with Real Madrid, but received a call from Wenger.Rist put down his work and came to London.Let's take a look at Arsenal's CEO Gazidis and Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger.

"Rist, we know you have a way."

Gazidis gave Rist a top hat, but Rist shook his head.Rist understands what Arsenal means. Arsenal are short of money now, especially because they have not been able to get No.4 this season, so finances have become very difficult.Not ordinary difficulty.

Arsenal's performance in the Champions League has been mediocre in recent years, but they have all been able to qualify from the group stage.As long as they qualify in the group stage, Arsenal will encounter a strong enemy.Basically, it is the Champions League knockout round.

But don't look at Arsenal's journey to the top 3000 every year.But Arsenal can get more than 4000 million pounds from the Champions League every year.If you add some other income directly or indirectly from the Champions League, Arsenal can earn more than 5000 million euros from the Champions League every year, and when it is slightly higher, it will be [-] million euros.This income is more than many teams that have performed well in the Champions League.

This is a very high income for Arsenal.Arsenal is still repaying the loan, and it is a short-term loan.Therefore, the income from the Champions League must not be given up. In the past few years, Arsenal have been able to survive the difficult period smoothly because of the high income from the Champions League.But there will be no Champions League next season, which means that the income of 4000 million euros will be lost.So now Arsenal is very anxious.

"Ivan, I know that you are negotiating with Barcelona about the transfer of Cesc Fabregas. It is not so short of money."

Arsenal really can't help it.Now even the Champions League places have not been obtained, so Fabregas's transfer is already unstoppable.The moment Fabregas' name was spoken.Rist noticed the momentary pain in Wenger's eyes.

Rist understands Wenger.Fabregas is Wenger's most proud disciple. Wenger's second generation of Wenger was built with Fabregas as the core.But now that he wants to send away his most proud disciple with his own hands, Wenger will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Rist, this money is far from enough."

Gazidis shook his head.Fabregas should have been a very expensive player.It should be very common to be worth more than 5000 million euros.Whether it is Real Madrid, Manchester City or Chelsea, they are definitely willing to spend more than 5000 million euros for Cesc Fabregas.But Cesc Fabregas only wants to move to Barcelona, ​​and the relationship between Arsenal and the Barcelona club has always been good.Since the beginning of the new century, there have been many transfers between Arsenal and Barcelona.

Fabregas will definitely go to Barcelona this time, and Arsenal is not confident enough due to economic reasons.The final transfer was only about 4000 million euros, and Barcelona is still unwilling to pay this money directly.Barcelona is also short of money.Rosell is a man who cares about everything in the transfer market, so Barcelona adopted a series of other methods.Just like the down payment is only 2900 million euros, Cesc Fabregas paid 500 million euros himself, and there are a lot of follow-up clauses. Only when those follow-up clauses are met, Barcelona will fully pay.For Arsenal, who are currently short of money.This kind of transfer problem can't solve the big problem.

"Ivan, look at how many months it is now. If you are in such a hurry, there will be no time to operate. They don't have time to arrange the sponsorship advertisements, and they won't give you too high appearance fees by then."

"We understand. That's why we are looking for you. We believe that with your rich experience, you can do your best."

Although other people's compliments sound comfortable.Especially the compliment from Arsenal CEO Gazidis made Rist more comfortable.But Rist still has some difficulties.

Gazidis and Wenger approached Rist for a simple reason.Because they are short of money next season, they plan ahead and prepare to make money in Asia.In European football, other giants and strong teams have already started to make money in Asia.For example, Real Madrid has gone to Asia to play three commercial games, and other major giants are not to be outdone.Including the fact that Italian football held the Italian Super Cup in Beijing last summer, all to make money.

But Wenger has always been against such commercial competitions.Therefore, Arsenal will not even put pre-season training in other continents in the past ten years, let alone go to Asia to play commercial games.But this time Wenger couldn't stand it anymore, he could only agree with Gazidis' idea.

But it was too late, and it was almost May now before Arsenal found Rist.However, this is mainly because the situation in the Premier League did not fully become clear until March.Arsenal began to really fall behind and lost hope of entering the Champions League next season.Then Gazidis thought that he should go to Asia to collect money, otherwise it would not be easy to pass the next season.But he needed to convince a stubborn Wenger, so it took some time.The last time is now.

In May, start planning now.There will be a game in early July.It's only been two months, and the time is too tight.Which of the clubs that wanted to go to the Asian business competition before started contacting Rist seven or eight months in advance.It only takes more than three months to promote and then sell various advertisements.

"It's still too tight."

Rist has some difficulties.Arsenal is obviously going to play five or six games in Asia in order to fill the financial loophole next season, hoping to take away about 2000 million euros to make up for the loss of not being able to play in the Champions League.But where is it so easy.

"That's why I'm looking for you."

Rist thought for a while and nodded.In times of crisis, Fang Xian is a real hero. Now that Arsenal have found him, Rist is ready to make a move.Rist and Gaode already have a wealth of experience in the giant business competition.It's not on the same level as those rookie sports companies.

Some other sports companies play commercial games in Asia and only have two incomes.One is ticket income and the other is sponsorship income.Therefore, once the sponsors are not active, the European giants will not be able to afford the appearance fees of more than one million euros.However, over the years, Rist and Gaode have developed a whole set of ways to make money.

Reasonably arrange the team's itinerary, organize fan meetings, sell jersey tickets, promote events, and find TV broadcast partners.Because of the excellent organization, it can attract a lot of sponsors, and after so many years, it can also bargain with TV stations to get enough broadcast fees.Among the current commercial competitions in China, only the commercial competitions organized by Rist and Gaode can get a high broadcast fee.There is also on-site jersey sales, which allow players to sell half-year or one-year portrait rights in a short period of time, which is the specialty of AutoNavi.Every time it operates a European giant, AutoNavi's profit easily exceeds 05 million yuan.Like operating Real Madrid, the profit directly exceeded 4000 million RMB in [-].

It is possible to operate Arsenal, and the income is a little less than before, but it is definitely not impossible to operate.Therefore, he said: "Okay. I'll contact you right away, but you have to be mentally prepared. It is estimated that it should be about [-] to [-]% less than the usual appearance fee, because you made up your mind too late."

"Okay, Rist. We're waiting for your good news."

…………

"No, Rist. How could Arsenal be in such a hurry, there is simply not enough time."

"Lack of money."

Liu Hongwei on the other end of the phone had a headache. He had never been in such a hurry for a business match.Not to mention May, even March is already relatively late.

"I read newspapers saying that Arsenal are rich every day."

"It's true that you have money. Arsenal have been making profits every year for the past few years. Last year, Arsenal made a profit of nearly 4000 million pounds. But the short-term loan for Arsenal's new stadium is a huge pressure on Arsenal. The money in their bank is all It is money that cannot be used. Arsenal will not have the Champions League next season, so they want to make money in Asia."

"It's not impossible."

Liu Hongwei hesitated for a while and said: "Don't say it's two months, I can finish a match with only half a month. But in this way, our profit will be less, and Arsenal's appearance fee will not be enough. too high."

Liu Hongwei is a businessman.With the same effort, the final profit is far less than other competitions.He doesn't really want to hold such a business competition.And Arsenal is a declining strong team, and the lineup has become more and more weak in recent years.Although there are many fans of Arsenal in China, in the eyes of Liu Hongwei, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United are even less promising than Chelsea and Manchester City.

"Old Liu, look forward. That means Arsenal will be able to get rid of the current situation within two or three years. By then, Arsenal will still be a strong European team. This time we help Arsenal once, and Arsenal will appreciate it."

"Row."

Liu Hongwei is not giving Arsenal face.Because for Liu Hongwei, AutoNavi and Arsenal have never cooperated.Liu Hongwei reluctantly nodded for the sake of Rist as a partner.

"That is to say, the profit is a little less, so it is to give Arsenal a face. I will immediately send people to negotiate with Arsenal, and I will start promoting it now. But Arsenal must guarantee that they must come to Asia. Otherwise, the loss for both of us will be great."

"Don't worry. Arsenal's size is also a traditional giant in English football, and there will be no such backlash."
