I Am a Nobleman in England

"... Southampton is in League One, and the league broadcast fee is very small, only about 4 million pounds, only one-tenth of the bottom of the Premier League.

The low-level league caused Southampton to have almost no business operations. After the British budget airline decided not to renew the contract, the previous advertising sponsor has not been found. The shirt sponsor is the local brand Umbro, the annual sponsorship fee It's 1.5 million pounds.

On the contrary, the team’s game-day income reached more than five or six million pounds, which is Southampton’s largest source of income. All this thanks to the fanatical Saints fans in Southampton. Every game has an attendance of about 20,000, which is very rare in the League. "

In the Saints manager's office, Arthur stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the training court in the distance, and listening to the report on the team's revenue by Kautis and the club's commercial director David Thomas behind him.

"Game day income is relatively inoperable. After all, there are restrictions on stadium seating, broadcast fee sharing and commercial sponsorship, and the team is currently in the League. So no matter from which aspect, in the short term, None of the team’s profits can grow significantly."

As the new general manager of the club, Nicola Kotis frowned slightly and saw it very thoroughly. Years of operating experience told him that without high attention, high broadcast rate, and excellent game results, there is no way to get the business sponsor.

"Exposure, popularity... Hehe."

At this time, Arthur, who had his back to the two of them, couldn't help but muttered and chuckled. He turned to look at the two of them and laughed: "To be honest, it is not difficult to get the exposure rate. Just let the media hype, or I No matter how high-profile and controversial, the exposure of the saints will definitely be very high."

Hearing what his boss said, Coutisse’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he nodded in agreement, while the business director David Thomas looked at Arthur with an unknown appearance, not knowing his own. Where does the boss' confidence come from?

You know, apart from the local newspapers that will continue to report on the Southampton club, other British newspapers don’t care about the Saints. Perhaps this time change of ownership, some newspapers may mention it and no longer care. , After all, is a first division team, no one will be interested in its news.

As if seeing David Thomas’ doubts, Nicola Courtis explained with a smile: "In addition to the owner of the Southern Daily Echo, he is also the 30th Earl of Bolling, a As the earl becomes the owner of the Saints Club, I believe those reporters will not let go of this news point. Especially in the context of the large-scale acquisition of Premier League clubs by foreign capital."

"Ah?!" When David Thomas heard this, he couldn't help looking at the young boss in surprise. He couldn't think of his own boss still having such a noble status, and immediately said: "Boss, I really don't know if you are still a nobleman. ..."

Before he could finish his words, Arthur shook his head and reached out his hand and interrupted with a smile, "Well, no need to be polite. To be honest, if I can hide my identity, I don't want to mention it, but I also believe it. Those all-pervasive paparazzi will dig out my information.

By the way, let me tell you in advance. I was once a **** fan of Aston Villa, the kind of fan who was blacklisted by the club. Don't be surprised when you see the news. "

"what?"

"..."

Kotis and David stare at each other dumbfoundedly. Is their boss ‘Football Liu busy’?

Now, it's really going to be lively.

"I will leave the exposure and popularity to me. I believe it will not be long before the popularity of the saints will come up. Haha, remember, if there are merchants who come to seek cooperation, they must choose the best, and the stage xing contract must be listed. It was bought out at a super low price for several years. When we return to the Premier League, we will lose a lot."

Arthur laughed at himself, no way, these dark histories will be dug up by the media along with the news of his taking over of the saints, especially the innocent British newspapers. Arthur can even Thinking of how they would disgust themselves.

The busy Earl of Football, who was blacklisted by the Villa Club, turned into a property in a rage and bought the Saints just for revenge. Thinking of this, Arthur could not help but feel a chill.

"When you release information to the outside world, you only need to mention my name. Don't disclose the rest at all. Let the paparazzi slowly dig into the report by themselves. Only in this way can they have motivation and sense of accomplishment and continue to hype." Arthur Charged to Courtis.

"I know what to do, do I ask the Southern Daily Echo to do an exclusive interview and report some content in advance?"

"Yes, you can discuss it with Jerry, and you can cooperate more closely in the future."

You know, every club has its own throat SHE newspaper, but don’t underestimate these so-called throat SHE newspapers. Almost every newspaper plays a huge role, such as the KOU water battle with the deadly enemy and the various fights before the game. Psychological warfare, hype the player's reputation and wealth, criticize rumors, good blows to the sky, black washed into white, and can not be washed away directly ignore, etc., is definitely the team's external publicity window.

"Tomorrow when the news comes out, it will definitely be very lively. I will go out and hide quietly. Call me if you have anything to do." Arthur didn't want to be annoyed by the paparazzi, so he could take Jiang Lai to Stonehenge to have fun.

"Boss, funds..." David Thomas, who heard that the boss was leaving, didn't care about Kotis, asked directly, cheeky, no way, the saints are too poor, don’t take advantage of the fact that the boss is just entering. Asking for more money in the Lord's time, it will be hard to ask for it later.

"...I have already given you 20 million pounds, pay off the debt, and 2 million pounds are left, which should be enough." Arthur said directly angrily when he heard that Kauttis was asking for money again.

"David, it's okay, you go out first." At this time, Kauttis did not forget to let the unrelated people leave, and David Thomas really wanted to stay and listen, just like Kauttis thought, saints. I have been so poor in the past few years. David’s liver trembled after hearing about 20 million pounds, but he was a little disappointed when he heard that he was going to pay debts, but his eyes were full of gold when he looked at the young boss. Sparkling little stars.

The boss is really rich!

After David Thomas left reluctantly, Kauttis smiled bitterly and said to Arthur: "Boss, that 2 million pounds, one million is allocated to the training center by you, and you have increased the salary of the players. , Coupled with daily operations, the remaining one million is indeed a bit nervous, but the most important thing is that there is no money in the club to strengthen and hire a head coach."

Arthur also knew that what Courtis said was the truth. Now that 33 million has been spent, it is indeed not bad to spend a little more.

"3 million, I can only give you 3 million. Since then, I will not invest any more money in the club. It can be said that I have filled all the pits of the Saints and gave you the start-up capital. , It's up to you in the future.

If you really want to use money to smash the saints into giants, I believe that anyone can do the position you have, what do you think? ! "

Although he can give money, Arthur must also ask Kauty to understand that his boss is not the owner of Abu and the desert tyrants who like to burn money. If they can't get results, Arthur will never talk to Kauty. Si is polite, it is a spur and a warning!

"I understand, thank you boss, I will never let you down, boss, if you can't be promoted to the championship next season, I will resign automatically!" Kautis also solemnly said without ambiguity.

"Papa--"

Arthur walked up to Courtis, patted his shoulder twice, and smiled: "I'll wait and see, I'll leave it to you!"

Kotis personally sent Arthur downstairs and watched the young boss sit in the Rolls-Royce Phantom. The car started and disappeared from sight. He stood there and looked around the training center for a week, his eyes could not help changing Be sharp and firm.

"Start with paying off debts, and go to battle lightly—"

And Arthur, who was sitting in the car and returning to the hotel, was told by the butler Paul that the bodyguards he had hired were already waiting at the hotel.

"Three?" After listening to Paul's introduction, Arthur asked with some confusion.

"Yes, Lord, generally speaking, a minimum-scale bodyguard team requires at least three people. Because the main viewing angle of the human eye is only 120 degrees, three people can complete a 360-degree look around alert.

A billionaire like yours ~www.readwn.com~ The normal bodyguard team configuration should be at least 5 people. At the same time, a professional security assessment team is also needed to assess its security status regularly.

For example, are there any disputes on business cooperation recently? Has anyone threatened it? And whether there have been unusual security changes in the city where he lives recently, etc.

In fact, I want to suggest that you directly use the five-member bodyguard team. After all, you will no longer be obscured soon. When you become a celebrity, safety is the most important thing. "

Butler Paul glanced at the young earl in the rearview mirror and said earnestly.

In fact, this does not need to be told by Paul, and Arthur himself takes his own safety very seriously, and he knows better than anyone how chaotic the European continent will be in the future, and security issues really cannot be sloppy.

Of course, you don’t have to use a 40-person bodyguard team to protect yourself like Abu’s persecuted delusional patients.

"Let’s meet and communicate first, and listen to the suggestions of their professionals. If you really need to increase to a five-person team, then upgrade. By the way, Paul, which company’s security personnel did you hire?" Arthur was also kind. He is not the second generation of those idiots. He has bodyguards around him, but he wants to pursue freedom and privacy, and hates bodyguards.

"G4S, the world's largest security company, Shrek. After they knew your identity, they attached great importance to it and sent three of the most experienced people to be your personal bodyguards." The butler Paul raised his mouth, with a hint of pride Said.
