Chapter 36 No Rules!

Chapter 35 No Rules!
It's just that Charlotte got the player, but didn't get the big club and the player's agent.Faxes of offers for players have not only overwhelmed Valencia's transfer department.Rumors of meetings between top club leaders and players or their agents flooded the media ahead of the World Cup.

There are even newspapers published by two media on the same day, and one of the brokers appeared in two places thousands of kilometers apart on the same day.What's even more amazing is that the two media used the same photo, but talked with other clubs about the transfer of other players in another place.

After being exposed by a certain media, the actions of the media of these two different countries instantly became a big joke in the media circle.Of course, this news was leaked by Charlotte, and it was used to help Valencia ignite the fire.Charlotte began to cooperate with the largest translation agency in Valencia early on, and has cultivated a translation department that specializes in translating the main media of the countries where the major European leagues are located.

This is Charlotte's preparation for a future in the transfer market.What Charlotte has to admit is that the top paparazzi reporters of major European and American media are no worse than 007.Just like the British "Sun" who worked with Charlotte, although they are known for having no integrity and no lower limit, they are also the most well-informed media in European football because they are the largest paparazzi in Europe.

On July 1994, 7, two days before the quarter-finals of the World Cup, the Valencia Club held a grand press conference in the Valencia Press Conference Hall.Several government officials and parliamentarians from the city of Valencia and the Galicia region also attended the press conference.When the invitation letter of this news was sent to the major media, it immediately grabbed the attention of the World Cup during the truce and attracted the attention of major European media.At the urging of the editor-in-chief, countless reporters boarded the plane to Valencia.

The hundreds of journalists under the speaker's desk just watched as Charlotte stepped up to the point in time, bringing along several other protagonists of the conference, several government officials and top leaders of the British Group and the Nike Group.

"Sorry, friends from the press, I interrupted you to report the news of the World Cup. I got a bonus!" As soon as Charlotte finished speaking, the reporters in the audience all laughed. He also sprayed water on the heads of his colleagues in the front row.But it also makes them feel that this is a typical Charlotte style, so relaxed and confident at any time, full of style.

Charlotte held up her right hand, showing three fingers. "The purpose of this press conference is not because I want to refute someone or something! There are only three things!" After speaking, Charlotte paused deliberately, and after seeing everyone's attention focused on herself, she stretched out He raised a finger and said.

"First of all, the Valencia Club has signed a cooperation agreement with Nike. Starting next season, Nike will be Valencia's main sponsor for the next five seasons. The specific sponsorship amount depends on Valencia's actual performance, up to five years At the same time, the British group is also determined by Valencia's performance, and will purchase the chest advertisement of the Valencia club with a contract of up to 5 million US dollars in the next five years." Charlotte raised her left hand and pointed Two people on the left. "These two are senior employees of these two companies. You can ask these two for details!"

The reporters in the audience were still in shock and never recovered.Charlotte stretched out two fingers again, telling everyone the second thing.

"The second thing is that Valencia Club has just signed a salary increase contract with all the players of the team, except that the two veterans of the team's youth training, Yate and Yebote, have chosen to retire and join the club's management;

.They will stay in Valencia for at least four years. "

If the first piece of news shocked them, then this piece of news really left these reporters completely speechless!Many of the reporters in the audience are well-known domestic football reporters, especially well-known reporters from several major leagues.Everyone knows that many domestic giants are secretly poaching Valencia.But in this case, Valencia can still keep all the players, which makes them have to be surprised.

You must know that Valencia is not a traditional European team, let alone a giant.Compared with the big clubs, Valencia is worse than the big clubs in terms of club income and bank loans.Originally, Valencia's salary made the management of the team difficult, relying on blood transfusions from the shareholders of the two clubs (in fact, Charlotte paid for it personally).Now, many reporters have to admire Charlotte as a recognized "rogue".

It's just that now everyone realizes that this is a vicious person, a strong person, and every step is interlocking.

Because in the eyes of many audience reporters, the timing of Valencia's rise is not right. When the "Player Trading Rules" came out, the team used the largest and huge contract between the two world football clubs, not only kept all the main teams, but also took the opportunity to step on the giants, raising Valencia's reputation to the top extreme.But what everyone wants to hear most now is the third news from Charlotte's mouth.The first two pieces of news are already hot enough, so what is the third piece of news at the bottom of the box that makes many reporters impatient?

Charlotte hung up the smell of the reporter, then slowly stretched out her hand and pulled out three fingers.

"The third thing is that the Valencia Club will spend 2.2 million US dollars to purchase 60 square meters of land east of Riazor and build a professional football stadium that can accommodate 5 people, with expansion capabilities. The old town in between will be developed by the Valencia Club to build a sports park and a commercial street. At present, the Valencia Club has signed a new contract with the city government, of which 1.1 million US dollars in land transfer fees have been paid. As for the remaining 1.1 million dollars, to be paid over 20 years, including interest. The Valencia club will pay $600 million a year."

"As for the construction of the stadium, the funds will be privately funded by the two major shareholders of the Valencia Club, Mr. Charlotte and Mr. Calle, while the sports park and commercial street will be developed by the Valencia Club itself." After seeing what Charlotte said, A councilor on good terms with Charlotte's grandfather offered to say
When Charlotte released all the third matter in one breath, all the reporters below were stunned.The third thing nobody thought of was building a whole new stadium.Especially in the Spanish media, other reporters may not be familiar with Caleb, but they know that Caleb is the major shareholder who has served as the vice chairman of Valencia Club for more than 20 years, that is, Charlotte's grandfather.Son of Valencia's founding players.

"Maybe ten years later, there will be a third giant in La Liga!" A reporter from the audience couldn't help but sigh!If this exclamation is something that is usually said, it is estimated that many people will laugh at him.However, under the premise of the three news released by Charlotte just now, these reporters want to refute but don't know where to start.

After the speaker proposed that he could ask questions freely, nearly a hundred reporters in the audience immediately raised their hands.

"Why did you think of building a large football field, and it was privately funded?" The first reporter named was Sun. They lived up to expectations and raised questions that all the reporters present wanted to know.

"There are two reasons for this: one is public and one is private." Charlotte said kind of sad!
"This is because of the player trading rules, making the future of football a capital world. A new large football stadium will bring a steady stream of funds to the club and enhance Valencia's brand value."

"As for the private, it's because another shareholder of our club, Calle, is my grandfather and the son of one of the founding players of Valencia. He has also seen the new life and growth of the club, as well as the low point of the club. and the peak. But when he was in poor health, he insisted on seeing Valencia because that was the most important memory in his life, so he was hospitalized many times. After watching Valencia win the Champions League, he again Excited to be hospitalized, and not in good condition. So I wanted to build a stadium that could lay Valencia's century-old foundation, so that he could feel at ease."

"These two reasons are why I am willing to invest in the club privately. Of course, there is another reason that all the shares in the club are owned by my family, so the money cannot be withdrawn, and it can be regarded as a commercial capital injection."

The reporters under this explanation finally understood the whole story, and also guessed the reason why Charlotte dared to raise her salary here.With the huge sponsorship of Nike and the British Group, even if Valencia loses too much, the two major shareholders of the club can definitely survive in private.After the completion of the new stadium, it will inject a strong impetus into Valencia's take-off. The construction of sports parks and commercial streets will also bring huge financial resources to Valencia every year. alright.

After getting it, there were several ugly-looking reporters, that is, reporters from "Mundo Deportivo", "Marca", and "Aspen". They all looked at each other involuntarily.

As for other media reporters, except for Gazzetta dello Sport, they all have a high attitude.Newspapers with no position like "The Sun" are even more excited, knowing that for them, "the more people there are, the more lively they are, and the more lively the more news."

"Why are Nike and England Group willing to sponsor the Valencia Club at such a high price?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, I asked my own person, the ace reporter of the Valencia newspaper, Barack, who was very special, and asked everyone Issues that are of concern to all, can successfully change the subject.

"That's because the achievements and development of the Valencia club are worthy of the investment of the two companies, and also because the club's long-term planning and lofty ambitions are similar to the current situation of the two companies, and the two parties have joined forces;
! "For this question, Charlotte had anticipated and made a plan, so the answer went smoothly.

Moreover, his words made the senior executives of the two companies around him want to laugh, and they had reservations about sponsoring them.After all, there are many examples in European football.In particular, the introduction of the "Player Trading Rules" has deepened their concerns. They worry that the sponsorship for five consecutive seasons will hit the water.

However, Charlotte's proposal and his promise to raise salary and keep all players made the two companies make up their minds.Moreover, the basic sponsorship and purchase costs are not high. If Valencia really falls like Nottingham Forest and other English clubs, they will not suffer too much loss.

However, I didn't expect this "hooligan" to directly advertise at the highest price at the press conference, making the two elites in the mall change their minds.Charlotte actually took advantage of both companies and used their reputations to boost the club's reputation and serve as a bargaining chip between the club and other sponsors.This method is commonly used in business, borrowing the cooperation of some companies to raise their own prices, but none of them thought that a football club would dare to play these games, based on the club's achievements.

It is important to know that should an accident occur in these circumstances, the damage to the club's reputation would be immeasurable.If the club does not perform well, it can only get the most basic sponsorship fee, which is only 600 million a year, which is only one third of the 1800 million he said.Then the club's finances will definitely have a big problem, so that the contract he signed with the two major companies will definitely not be able to keep the fire, and then he will definitely use the club's reputation to pay for this matter.

But when you think about Charlotte's net worth and look at his affection and devotion to the club, you can guess that the club will never have the problems they have in mind, even with private money plugging holes in the club.

"Mr. Charlotte, what are you going to do at the Riazor Stadium now?" Barack, the ace reporter of the "Valencia News" who is very concerned about the Valencia club, asked anxiously.

"The Riazor Stadium will always belong to Valencia and will become the stadium of the second team. The club will increase investment to upgrade the second team to the Western League, strive for self-financing, and train young players." Charlotte has already contributed to this The stadium that carries the memory of Valencia is ready.After listening, Barack nodded and said nothing.

"Mr. Charlotte, I would like to ask where your private donations come from? As far as we know, the Armani family doesn't have that much money despite having such a huge wealth, let alone your and Mr. Calle's private funds ’” Seeing that the atmosphere was on fire again, the spokesperson clicked on the name of “Mundo Deportivo” at the prompt of Charlotte, asking them to give exciting topics like a typical Valencia black newspaper.

"This seems to be my privacy. As long as I don't make money through illegal means, you don't care where I get the money. Do you want to hear my privacy and business secrets?" Charlotte didn't have a good face on the media.Not long ago, they were the ones who clamored the most in Valencia, and they directly let the other party be deflated.

"Mr. Charlotte, we don't want to inquire into your privacy, but we are curious about this plan with a total investment of more than 5 million U.S. dollars! After all, such a big news, if we can't find some exact information, I'm afraid the editor-in-chief will not spare us." ?” The reporter of L’Equipe stood up, seeing Charlotte’s character, and asked jokingly.
