The Godfather of Football
Chapter 478: Not Short of Money
Tottenham Hotspur announces strong entry into the hotel service industry!
This news successfully made the front page headlines of all British and even many European newspapers on the next day. It even overshadowed the transfer soap opera between Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo, and completely suppressed the exclusive front page headline that Sean Ingler had originally placed high hopes on.
However, Sean Ingler would not feel depressed, because he also personally experienced the groundbreaking ceremony and took photos of the front page headlines. His exclusive explosive material also appeared in a very prominent position on the front page, and he rushed to produce an exclusive comment and analysis overnight last night.
On the first day of the team training camp, in addition to announcing the joining of David Silva, Tottenham Hotspur also attended an event at the BMW London headquarters and attended a luncheon. After that, the team rested for two hours and went directly to the south of the Olympic Village in Stratford to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of Zhenhua Hotel.
This is a five-star luxury hotel with a total investment of 700 million euros. Once completed, it will replace the Shard on the Thames River and become the tallest building in the UK and Europe. The latter was put into construction in 2002 and was originally expected to be completed in five years, but it was never completed on schedule due to funding reasons, which led to increasing investment and signs of unfinished projects.
Up to now, the investment in this tallest building in Europe has been increased to 1.5 billion euros and is still rising. The London Bridge District Company responsible for this project is now interested in introducing foreign investment to participate in the cooperation. Many Middle Eastern consortiums including Qatar are very interested in this, but the completion of this building is still a long way off.
This five-star hotel that Tottenham Hotspur cooperates with Huangtian Group will exceed the Shard in height, with a total height of 420 meters and 75 floors, which will be used for hotels, restaurants, apartments and office buildings. The designer of this building is the very influential and prestigious Alkins Group in the UK. Their most famous works include the Dubai Burj Al Arab.
This time, Alkins also hopes to make this tallest building in Europe as tall as the Burj Al Arab in Dubai. London is a landmark building that is second to none in the UK and even in Europe.
At the groundbreaking ceremony, Ye Qiu and Huang Tian Group CEO Chen Zhong both said that Zhenhua Hotel will not only be a five-star hotel and commercial office building, but also a sightseeing and tourist attraction. At the same time, it will also adopt more environmentally friendly high-tech technologies, including water recycling and solar energy.
At the same time, Eliza Moon, CEO of Leaf Technology, also attended the groundbreaking ceremony and said that a consensus had been reached with the London City Government and the Olympic Committee to build a 250-meter-high Zeus Tower between the hotel and the Olympic Stadium with a total investment of 50 million euros.
The Zeus Tower was designed by Leaf Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and ARUP, the largest engineering consulting company in the UK, will be invited to participate. It will be an ultra-modern building with a steel structure and earthquake-proof technology. The exterior will use a membrane similar to the BJ Olympic venue Water Cube. There are three ways to reach the top of the tower, namely elevator, ramp and spiral staircase.
But the most amazing thing is the top of the tower. A series of interconnected plastic bubble-shaped spheres will be installed on the top of the Zeus Tower. Each sphere can receive different data signals and display different images and data. From a distance, it looks like a colorful cloud standing on the tower, so they call it a digital cloud.
Once the tower is built, tourists will be able to climb to the top and enter the data cloud, and have a bird's eye view of the entire London city, and participate in some leisure and entertainment projects inside. It will also become a landmark building and a new tourist attraction in London.
If Zeus Tower is an innovative attempt by Leaf Technology and a permanent brand promotion of Zeus mobile phones, then the five-star hotel invested by Huangtian Group is a big move for Tottenham Hotspur to prepare for the future, because Tottenham Hotspur will invest 200 million euros in the construction of this hotel, plus the value of the land, Tottenham Hotspur holds 40% of the shares.
Such a large investment has caused amazement from the outside world, especially considering that the news revealed by Huangtian Group shows that this hotel will be put into use before the Olympics, which means that in the next three or four years, Tottenham Hotspur will not only bear the 300 million construction funds of the Olympic Stadium, but also pay 200 million for the construction of the hotel.
The entire Premier League, the entire UK, and even the entire Europe are shocked by Tottenham Hotspur's big move.
Stratford's future is definitely bright, especially with the participation of Leaf Technology, the future prospects of this five-star hotel are also very promising, and this is bound to bring Tottenham Hotspur an endless stream of permanent benefits in the future.
Sean Ingler mentioned in his exclusive commentary, "At the press conference for the groundbreaking ceremony, many reporters asked Ye Qiu a question: Does Tottenham Hotspur have enough funds to handle such a huge project? And Ye Qiu smiled and said that Tottenham Hotspur has no problem with funds!"
"According to the intelligence and news we have collected, Tottenham Hotspur has reached a consensus with Manchester City. The team's main central defender Brad Hangland and Croatian midfielder Luka Modric will respectively play four games. He transferred to Manchester City for a price of 10 million and 45 million euros, which also gave Tottenham Hotspur a net income of 210 million in this summer's transfer market."
"Tottenham Hotspur receives 40 million euros in sponsorship fees from Adidas and Vodafone every year. According to Tottenham Hotspur's commercial operation results this summer, in addition to these two In addition to major sponsors, it has increased sponsorship revenue to a total of more than 15 million, with a total revenue of more than 50 million euros."
"Of course, compared with Manchester United's sponsorship revenue of nearly 100 million, Tottenham Hotspur is only half of theirs, which is very inconspicuous, but this has greatly exceeded Tottenham Hotspur's operation in the past two years. In these years, we have not only achieved impressive results in the competitive field, but also in the commercial field.”
“And let’s not forget that after winning the Champions League, Deloitte predicts that Tottenham Hotspur will receive a potential income of 100 million euros in the next year, plus broadcast fee sharing and championship bonuses. Wait, we have absolutely reason to believe that, as Ye Qiu said, Tottenham is not short of money!”
Sean Ingle was amazed by Ye Qiu's generous and ambitious operation of Tottenham Hotspur. At the same time, he also expressed his admiration. He also mentioned Ye Qiu's words in his column. .
"We will continue to live a tight life in the next three or four years, but this does not mean that we will lose our combat effectiveness. We will try our best to make the team live more frugally while ensuring the team's combat effectiveness, because we are enduring hardships now for the sake of After the Olympics, when we get a new stadium, we open a new hotel, and we’ll have good days!”
"I hope that all fans and all players can be with the team. We share the joys and sorrows together. I can guarantee that Tottenham Hotspur will never forget anyone who walks this road together. !”
In Sean Yngle's understanding, Ye Qiu's words were addressed to the fans, but also to the players. He wanted to promise the players a future, an extremely bright and brilliant future.
"In the past, Tottenham Hotspur fans were envious and even envious of their rival team Arsenal's new training base, their new stadium, and their real estate projects. But now, the situation has obviously turned around, and Arsenal should be allowed to Na Lai envies Tottenham Hotspur because their real estate projects have put a heavy burden on the team's finances, but Tottenham Hotspur have enough funds to operate such a huge project."
Except for Sean Ingle, almost all media are amazed by Tottenham Hotspur's operational ability. Although many express concerns about the future, more people are full of expectations because they all believe , Stratford is close to the financial district, and will be the Olympic Village and Olympic Park in the future. It is also a major tourist attraction in London, and the value here will become higher and higher.
But there are still a few extremists protesting because the contractors for the Zhenhua five-star hotel project and the Zeus Tower project will be construction contractors from China. However, regarding this, London Mayor Boris Johnson Taking the initiative to provide clarification, he said that this was mainly because Chinese contractors had stronger capabilities and cheaper prices.
Just kidding, the total investment of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, with the participation of many Chinese contractors, is only 1.5 billion, while the investment for the Shard is over 1.5 billion. And don’t forget, the Burj Khalifa is in US dollars, and your Shard is in US dollars. The Euros are far behind. In the final analysis, it is because they do not have that kind of strength. The huge loss at Wembley Stadium is a very strong proof.
The Olympic Stadium is a bit special. The main reason is that Tottenham Hotspur is only responsible for providing part of it, that is, 300 million euros of funds, and will bear all future renovation costs by itself. Therefore, Ye Qiu does not need to worry about whether there are any problems during the construction process. It was a waste of money, but the five-star hotel and Zeus Tower were his own projects, so of course he had to worry about it.
This is also thanks to Boris Johnson. He has previously stated his support for Chinese investors to invest in London, so now he must open the door to these investments.
I believe that as time goes by, the Olympic Organizing Committee will become more and more embarrassed, because they will gradually discover that the preparation budget for the main venue of the London Olympics will have to be increased again and again. In the final analysis, it is still a problem with the industrial level of the entire country.
After the Guardian first published the exclusive news about the transfer of Hangeland and Modric to Manchester City, the entire Premier League was shocked, because although Hangeland's worth did not exceed Ferdinand, it was still a sky-high price. The transfer has happened. As for Modric, the transfer fee is even more than Robinho.
After Manchester City took action, Robinho, who had already fallen out with Real Madrid, finally switched to Manchester City for 42 million euros. Real Madrid took this money and began to pursue Cristiano Ronaldo again, but Ferguson's words from beginning to end are: not for sale, at least not this summer!
When Ye Qiu was on the phone with Ferguson, the old man ridiculed Calderon and Mijatovic more than once. He felt that they were too lacking in standards and strength, and they always did things that offended people and were not thanking them. matter.
This time Ferguson is tempted to sell people, because in his opinion, after selling Cristiano Ronaldo, as long as the money can be used to operate transfers, Manchester United's strength, especially their offensive level, will be improved. A higher improvement, but because Calderon's big mouth made Ferguson unhappy and made it difficult for Manchester United to step down, they could only cover it up temporarily.
Sometimes losing is better than losing. I can tolerate you poaching my corner, but you must not try to be nice even if you get an advantage.
Manchester United is now stimulated by Calderon's saliva, so they would rather die than sell this summer, but they have reached a private agreement with Real Madrid. Next year, Cristiano Ronaldo will transfer to Real Madrid at a sky-high price. I believe that after this time Calderon will restrain himself after being taught a lesson.
After the chaos at the beginning of the training camp, Tottenham Hotspur quickly got into training and preparations for the new season.
As they are about to embark on a trip to China, Tottenham Hotspur will play three warm-up matches in China, the last of which will be in BJ on July 31, exactly one week before the first men's football match in the Olympics. , this can also be regarded as Tottenham Hotspur’s warm-up for the BJ Olympics, to stimulate the atmosphere.
This trip to China was sponsored by Adidas, Tottenham Hotspur’s main sponsor, and later joined BMW and Qatar Airways. The three major sponsors jointly supported Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to China.
In early August, Tottenham Hotspur will go to Amsterdam to participate in the Amsterdam Cup Invitational Tournament hosted by Ajax. The other two teams participating this year are Serie A champion Inter Milan and La Liga strong team Sevilla.
By the way, just like Ye Qiu in his previous life, Mourinho replaced Mancini as the head coach of Inter Milan this summer after being dismissed from Chelsea. Therefore, this time the Amsterdam Cup is between Ye Qiu and Mourinho. Neo's long-awaited battle has also attracted the attention of many fans and media, and many TV organizations will broadcast it live.
After returning to London from the Netherlands, Tottenham Hotspur will usher in the Community Shield Cup with Manchester United. However, it will still be a big test for Tottenham Hotspur at that time, because including Messi, Kompany, and Lucas , Marcelo will all participate in the Olympics, and there was originally Thiago Silva, but after Ye Qiu negotiated with the players and the Brazilian Olympic team, he finally decided to release Lucas and Marcelo, and Thiago Silva. Silva did not participate.
Not only that, this time the players will still participate in the team's pre-season training as usual. After the team plays the last warm-up match against the BJ team, they will go directly to their respective teams to participate in joint training, and Until the end of the Olympics.
This is also the result of negotiations between Tottenham Hotspur and the Olympic teams of Argentina, Belgium and Brazil.
Calculating carefully, Tottenham Hotspur can be regarded as the team in the Premier League that supports the Olympics the most, because they have a total of four players selected, including top stars like Messi, and their contributions are insignificant. big.
On the contrary, there are several other teams. Arsenal only has one Alexander Song, Manchester United only has one Anderson, Chelsea has no one at all, Liverpool also only has one Babel, and Tottenham Hotspur has more than all of them combined. More, and this is after selling Mascherano and retaining Thiago Silva, otherwise the impact will be greater.
This is also related to the relatively young age of Tottenham Hotspur players, and this will definitely affect Tottenham Hotspur's performance during the Olympics, but Ye Qiu is also actively preparing countermeasures.
When Tottenham Hotspur held a training camp at Theobald, not only Ramsey, Hazard, Kyle Walker and other young players who entered the first team last season participated, but also Varane, Bo Gerba, Nastasic, as well as Neymar and Coutinho, who were under the age of 18 and were re-loaned in Brazil after the team introduced them.
Speaking of Coutinho, this is what Ye Qiu gained from the Football Economic Forum on the transfer market last summer. His agent recommended Coutinho to Ye Qiu, saying that it would not cost much to acquire this player. , as a result, Tottenham Hotspur acquired the Brazilian midfielder for a pitifully small transfer fee, but due to the restriction that he was less than 18 years old, he loaned him back to Vasco da Gama.
As a result, in the South American U15 game in November 2007, Coutinho became famous instantly. De Visser also spoke very highly of him, thinking that his skills were very good, but he was not fancy and tended to be European. He followed the pragmatic route, and also entered Vasco da Gama's first team and got enough training opportunities.
In the past year, Coutinho has attracted the attention of many wealthy teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Inter Milan, AC Milan, etc. Among them, Real Madrid paid a high price for him, but Toto Tenham Hotspur still have no intention of taking action, but will keep him in Vasco da Gama to continue training.
But this does not mean that Tottenham Hotspur does not value him. Every month Tottenham Hotspur will arrange personnel to go to Brazil to conduct physical examinations and exchanges with Coutinho and Neymar, and at the same time provide some coaching staff with The professional advice given helps them improve their strengths and weaknesses.
Moreover, during the league break, they will come to Tottenham Hotspur to participate in the team's joint training. They will also report to the team for the annual summer training. All expenses are paid by Tottenham Hotspur. The purpose is to cultivate these players' loyalty to the team and also help them better integrate into the team in the future.
Compared to introducing mature players with strength, Ye Qiu prefers relatively younger players. It’s not that he is a pedophile, but because he thinks young players are highly malleable. Mature players often have their playing style and technical characteristics already formed, but young players are not. They are highly malleable.
Messi’s body is stronger than before, and the rhythm and frequency of his kicking are faster than in his previous life. This is the result of Ye Qiu’s transformation of his Premier League. The same is true for Fabregas. The reason why he performs differently from Xavi in the national team is that he is tougher and plays more directly. In terms of passing, he tends to be more creative and adventurous.
These are the changes that have occurred under Ye Qiu’s sculpting since they were young.
Similarly, this group of young players in the Tottenham Hotspur team will be cultivated and sculpted by Tottenham Hotspur according to their characteristics and the team’s technical and tactical style, so that they can be promoted to the first team in the future.
But there is no need to worry that they will not be able to adapt to other teams, because an important element of Tottenham Hotspur's team style is position ambiguity, so diversity and adaptability are the key points, so there is definitely no problem with the players in this regard.
And this pool of talents is Ye Qiu's confidence in the team's future!
