Super Marshal

Tamim is indeed very sincere, and the chips he offers are indeed very tempting.

After careful investigation, he understood the current dilemma faced by the Chinatown team, so he promised to build a top-notch luxury football stadium for the Chinatown team and maintain an average annual net investment of 100 million euros for three consecutive years.

I have to say that this condition is very tempting, and Tamim only wants 50%. He is even willing to only get 49% of the shares, so that Gao Han can continue to be the majority shareholder of the team and the club All management and daily operations will not be involved and will continue to be handled by Gao Han's team.

Of course, Tamim's acquisition of Chinatown will definitely not be as simple as just getting some shares, and his demands are not excessive. There are two main conditions, the permanent naming rights of Chinatown's new stadium and the jersey chest for the next ten years. advertise.

Gao Han could tell that Tamim was interested in promoting his country.

According to Gao Han's understanding, Qatar is intensively applying to host the World Cup, but it is not easy.

Everyone knows that Qatar is just a small country. Although it is extremely rich, it has not been taken seriously by the world. What’s more, the competitor Qatar faces this time is the giant United States, which undoubtedly makes it more difficult for Qatar to bid. .

But the local tycoons in the Middle East do not seem to accept their fate. On the one hand, they are desperately lobbying FIFA, and on the other hand, they are carrying out construction projects domestically to improve their hardware and infrastructure. At the same time, they are also constantly increasing their voices in European football. .

For example, not long ago, the British Sun published news that a Qatari consortium was interested in acquiring Manchester United.

It is said that they made an offer of 1.3 billion pounds, but Manchester United's Glazer family paid back 3 billion pounds, which directly scared off the Qatar consortium, and the negotiations between the two parties failed.

However, Gao Han did not expect that the Qatari consortium would shift its target to his own Chinatown.

Although the conditions were very generous and the requirements were not excessive, Gao Han still had no intention of selling.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tamim. As my colleagues responded to you, Chinatown has special meaning to many people, including me. In our eyes, it is unique and indispensable. Instead, I would never sell his shares, not even 1 percent."

Gao Han spoke very firmly, and he believed that his attitude was clear enough.

Tamim looked a little disappointed. He originally thought that he could convince Gao Han by offering such a bargaining chip.

"Mr. Gao Han, maybe you can think about it again, and in terms of conditions, we can..."

Halfway through the words, Tamim saw Gao Han shaking his head slightly, so he stopped talking and shrugged helplessly.

He knew that Gao Han had made up his mind and would not sell his shares in Chinatown.

"OK, then maybe we can talk about cooperation." Tamim decided to do the next best thing.

"cooperate?"

"Yes, it is still the naming rights of the stadium and the chest advertisement of the jersey. We hope to sign a long-term contract, at least ten years, and we are willing to pay a sum of money in advance and help you apply for a long-term low-interest loan from the bank. , to help you plan to build a modern new stadium as soon as possible."

"Really?" Gao Han was a little doubtful. Is this pie in the sky?

"Of course, as my friend Mansour said, I always keep my word."

"Then...what do you need me to do?" Gao Han asked warily.

But Tamim shook his head, "No need, neither you nor Chinatown need it. This is just a pure commercial sponsorship and has nothing to do with anything else, right?"

Perhaps feeling Gao Han's wariness, Tamim smiled again, "If I insist on saying yes, then I just hope to become friends with you and let you feel my sincerity. Maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Woolen cloth?"

When Gao Han heard this, his heart immediately beat.

He really couldn't think of any reason to reject such an offer. As Tamim said, this was just a pure commercial sponsorship. As for whether to continue cooperation in the future, that was a matter for the future, wasn't it?

"Okay, I agree."

"Very good, Mr. Gao Han, I will arrange for someone to contact Chinatown as soon as possible. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Gao Han shook hands with Tamim somewhat dullly and watched the Middle Eastern tycoon leave.

Ten years of stadium naming rights and jersey chest advertising, based on the current commercial value of the Chinatown team, would be at least two to three hundred million, but in the end, he decided at once, and he didn't hesitate from the beginning to the end.

Should I say he is too rich? Or is it that he got the money too quickly?

Gao Han shook his head helplessly, the world is like this, people die of drought and die of waterlogging.

But there is no doubt that when it comes to football capital, Gao Han is definitely the one who died of drought.

However, Tamim's proposal felt like a timely help.

According to the terms of mainstream commercial sponsorship contracts, especially long-term contract terms, they are generally a fixed sponsorship amount plus an amount that fluctuates based on the team's performance.

According to Tamim, they are willing to advance half of the funds to the Chinatown team in advance. The initial estimate is at least more than 100 million euros. If a long-term low-interest bank loan is added, then one-third of the funds for the new stadium will be solved. Two.

The rest...

Gao Han thought of this, immediately took out his mobile phone, found Jorge Mendez's number, and dialed it directly.

"Hey, Gao Han, I just watched your game live, it was so exciting."

As soon as the call was connected, Mendes' excited voice came from over there.

Several players who scored goals came from his subordinates. How could he not be excited?

"Jorge, let me tell you something."

Gao Han immediately told Mendes about the conversation he had just had with Tamim and the cooperation intention reached. After the Portuguese listened carefully, he analyzed it and felt that cooperation should be done and that there was much to be done.

"This matter needs to be done quickly. If Armando needs my help in any way, just ask." Mendes was also very straightforward, and he also supported Gao Han unconditionally.

"Armando is responsible for this matter. It's not a big problem." Gao Han had great trust in Armando Marcos. "I called him to say something else."

"Chelsea?" Mendes immediately guessed Gao Han's thoughts.

"Yes, you tell Abramovich that Chinatown is determined to keep two players. They have just renewed their contracts. If they want to poach them, they can pay liquidated damages."

"Liquidated damages?" Mendes on the other end of the phone was obviously shocked.

In the recent contract extension, Falcao's liquidated damages were increased from the original 40 million euros to 60 million euros, and Ramirez's penalty was also increased from the original 20 million euros to 30 million euros. .

In other words, if Abramovich wanted to buy these two players in one go, he would have to spend 90 million euros at once.

God, unless the Russians are out of their minds, how could they agree?

With such money, what kind of player can’t be bought in Europe?

"This is impossible, Abramovich will not agree." Mendes shook his head without hesitation.

Only a fool would agree to such a condition.

Gao Han sneered, "No? Okay, I wish he didn't agree, so that the two players can stay and play in peace and contentment. I am also confident that I can sell them at a good price next summer. There is no shortage of them at all." Interested teams."

Mendes understood immediately.

Gao Han means that even if it is to be sold, it is best not to sell it during the winter break, and it is best not to sell it to Chelsea.

If it must be during the winter break and Chelsea must poach players, then yes, let's pay liquidated damages.

"Abramovich will be so angry that he vomits blood," Mendes said with a wry smile.

When encountering a master like Gao Han, whoever becomes his enemy will vomit blood.

"It's good to vomit blood. You'll get used to it." Gao Han felt relaxed.

Manchester City defeated Chelsea 5-0, shocking the world and completely occupying the front pages of major media around the world the next day.

Fans all over the world were surprised that Manchester City's powerful offensive was able to annihilate Chelsea, the Premier League champion, at home. This alone was enough to cause a major earthquake in the entire European football world.

But what attracted the attention of the media, fans, and people in the football industry even more was that Manchester City's technical and tactical play in this game aroused huge repercussions and discussions, and countless football enthusiasts and practitioners have studied it. It reflects Manchester City's style of play in this game and Gao Han's formation.

While Manchester City's bloodbath against Chelsea was occupying the headlines, the thirteenth round of La Liga was also in full swing.

Chinatown hosted Valencia, the top four team in the league, at home. The Bats were in excellent form this season, but the result was unexpected. Chinatown took the initiative in the first half.

Valencia, ranked fourth in the league, was extremely embarrassed by the Chinatown team in the away game. In the 38th minute, the Bat Corps suffered a sneak attack by Falcao and fell behind 1-0.

But in the second half, the situation suddenly reversed.

Otamendi, the main defender of the Chinatown team, received two consecutive yellow cards in less than ten minutes and was sent off the field by the referee with a red card. Especially the second yellow card gave Valencia a penalty area. Penalty kick inside.

In the end, the home team lost the game 1 to 2, which made all Chinatown fans, and even many neutral fans, feel regretful and regretful, because judging from the game video replay, Otamendi had no presence in the penalty area at all. The foul was caused by Valencia player Mata falling to the ground and had nothing to do with the Argentine central defender.

But this can no longer change the referee's decision.

Although Chinatown unfortunately lost the thirteenth round of the league 1-2, Falcao continued to score steadily and firmly occupied the top spot in La Liga's scorer list, even surpassing Barcelona's Messi.

That is, after this game, Spanish newspaper Marca published a news that Real Madrid intends to introduce Falcao during the winter break to strengthen the team's frontcourt attack, and Florentino is willing to help France. Ercao paid a transfer fee of 40 million euros.

Although the value of players has begun to bubble in the European football transfer market, Real Madrid's willingness to pay a transfer fee of 40 million euros for Falcao still shocked everyone because the price was ridiculously high.

Even though Falcao was the top scorer in La Liga last season, even if he leads the scorer list this season, after all, he is still young, and this season is his first season in La Liga, and his performance is not stable enough. He is worth Forty million euros?

But soon, the media broke the news that Manchester United and Liverpool were also interested in Falcao, especially the Red Army Liverpool. Benitez hoped to use Falcao to strengthen the team's offensive power and stabilize his coaching position.

Forty million euros?

This is a high price in La Liga, but it is not so out of the ordinary in the Premier League.

What's more, everyone knows that Falcao is the main center chosen by Gao Han, so he can't go wrong.
