“Stay in a five star hotel” On the first floor of St.
Mary's Stadium, in Yang Huan's office, Nicolas Cortez almost sang the highest tenor in his life.
The purpose is to show his surprise and difficulty in accepting it at this moment.
“Do you know how much a night in a five-star hotel costs?”
Opposite him, Sun Yue had a calm smile on his face, nodded and said, "I know, I'm staying in a five-star hotel now."
Nicola Cortez was stunned for a moment before he remembered that this guy was staying at the Grand Harbor Hotel for more than half a month.
"Don't stand there and talk, it won't hurt your back.
Since you know how much a night in a five-star hotel costs, you should know that for three referees in a game, plus the fourth official, their food and accommodation are themselves A huge expense.”
"Even if we play one game a week, if we arrange it in a five-star hotel, there are 24 teams in English League One and there will be 46 rounds of games, including 23 at home.
You can do the math for yourself.
How much does it cost?”
After saying that, Nicola Cortez angrily sat on another seat in front of Yang Huan.
"No need to forget it, do you think one hundred thousand pounds can be spent completely?"
Sun Yue still asked calmly.
Nicolas Cortez smiled bitterly, "Isn't one hundred thousand pounds too little?
And you also said that you want to give them a gift for every game.
My God, don't you know that we are in debt now?"
Southampton is indeed heavily in debt this summer.
Almost all the team's signings were paid for by Yang Huan out of his own pocket.
These are all included in the team's debt, but Yang Huan is the owner of the team.
"Don't be so nervous.
Gifts are not valuable, and hosting them in a five-star hotel is not a big deal, but doing so can help us establish a good image in the minds of the referees."
Having said this, Sun Yue paused for a moment, "When I said I wanted to give reporters gifts, you didn't think it was necessary.
But now look, in the past twenty days, we have appeared in various places in England every day.
In newspapers, this kind of attention is only given to a few top teams in the Premier League.”
Nicolas Cortez also had to admit that gifts are small gifts and not valuable.
Even now, whenever there is any news about the team, they hold a press conference, give gifts and things, and even treat reporters to a meal. , all of which made Southampton's relationship with reporters very active, and the reporters treated Southampton very well.
Sun Yue has extended some domestic styles to the UK, and this style can work anywhere in the world.
In recent times, Southampton's popularity has been far ahead in English League One.
Not much else to say, the team is currently negotiating with jersey sponsor Umbro, asking Umbro to increase the jersey sponsorship from the original two million pounds to five million pounds, especially after the team signed Ibrahi After Movich.
I believe it will be difficult for Umbro to refuse Southampton, because once Umbro refuses, Southampton will quickly switch to other sponsors.
Not only jersey sponsors, but also chest advertising sponsorships, Southampton did not hesitate to reject some sponsors below one million pounds before, and the current sponsorship market has quickly increased to two million pounds.
However, both Yang Huan and Sun Yue still rejected all sponsorship intentions.
They planned to give sponsors a heavy blow after Ibrahimovic's transfer was announced.
As long as Southampton maintains the current level of media attention, sponsorship fees will certainly not be low.
Yang Huan silently listened to the quarrel between the two assistants.
In fact, it was Nicolas Cortez who was quarreling, while Sun Yue was calm and calm.
As the boss of the team, it was difficult for him to say who was right and who was wrong.
After all, one is thinking about how to save himself money, while the other is to achieve the purpose of publicity.
"Okay, you two, stop arguing."
When Yang Huan saw that the two of them were almost arguing, he also stepped forward to stop.
We can't let them keep arguing, right?
"Nicholas, I think your idea is good, but Sun Yue's plan is more in line with my taste, so I will leave this matter to Sun Yue.
From now on, all marketing and external public relations matters will be left to him.
Responsible."

Yang Huan felt that it was necessary to divide the work between the two assistants and clarify each other's authority.
"As for you, Nikola, you are responsible for the daily operations and transfer operations of the team, especially the construction of the training base and the community promotion plan we have formulated before.
Both of these are key projects for the development of the team. ” The community promotion plan was formulated before Yang Huan took over Southampton.
The attendance at St.
Mary's Stadium still depends on the support of local fans, so the community promotion plan is very important.
Nicola Cortez's wife is the person in charge of this plan.
After Yang Huan took over the Saints, he did not make any personnel changes and continued to use the previous team.
After hearing this, Nicola Cortez sighed helplessly.
"I've told you a long time ago that Master Huan is a person who does big things.
He's not as fussy about things as you are.
Can Master Huan see through things worth tens of thousands?
He's petty and narrow-minded.
How can he do big things?"
Sun Yue saw Ni Guracotes was flabbergasted and laughed sarcastically.
Yang Huan felt very happy after hearing this, but he coughed twice, "If you dare to flatter me again, I will break your neck, kick your little balls to pieces, and then kill you Go to a gay bar to pick up soap, try it if you don’t believe me.”
When Sun Yue heard this, he immediately panicked and immediately laughed, "I don't dare to try, I don't dare to try."
Nicolas Cortez still shook his head and sighed, "You don't know, I looked at the team's financial situation last month.
We lost more than 10 million pounds last month.
Several major signings this month, and then...
Coupled with a series of expenditures, I feel panicked and the fiscal deficit is full.”
Yang Huan and Sun Yue looked at each other and both knew this was the truth.
Who made Southampton a League One team?
Moreover, Southampton did not have many commercial channels in the past, which made the team's ability to generate revenue extremely poor.
Everything was created step by step from scratch after Yang Huan took over.
Nicolas Cortez is a banker and has a natural resistance to deficits.
Therefore, last season, although Southampton under his leadership did not make a profit, it did not suffer much loss.
And you must know that before Nicolas Cortez took charge of Southampton, the Saints had just fallen into a financial crisis and were deducted ten league points.
This shows that Nicolas Cortez is indeed very strong in this aspect. business capabilities.
"Don't worry, Nicholas, everything will get better," Yang Huan said soothingly.
"Yes, we all understand your difficulty."
Sun Yue is not as careless as he seems on the surface.
On the contrary, he was able to integrate into the entire management organization of Southampton in less than a month.
His ability, especially the ability to deal with colleagues very nice.
Nicola Cortez and Sun Yue, one is good at business and the other is good at marketing and public relations.
With the help of the two of them, Yang Huan felt very relaxed and could spend more time picking up girls.
When Yang Huan talked about picking up girls, he thought of Zhang Ning.
It's shameful to say that he can't even seduce the woman he keeps.
He really has no face to meet the folks in Longhai City.
Jonathan Moss, thirty-nine years old, is one of England's newest young referees.
According to the characteristics of the English league, Jonathan Moss is not yet qualified to join the elite referee group dedicated to officiating in the Premier League.
In addition, he is young and needs to accumulate more experience, so he is currently serving in League Two, League One, the Championship and The whistles are randomly held in the four professional leagues of the Premier League.
This time, he was appointed as the referee for the opening game of the 2010-2011 English League One season, when Southampton faced Plymouth at home.
This is also an affirmation of his whistle-blowing ability.
As usual, he arrived at Southampton a day early with the two linesmen and the fourth official.
The saint picked them up at the train station in a luxurious Bentley.

"I've always heard that the new owner of Southampton is very rich, but I didn't expect it to be true.
He always uses a Bentley to drive to and from the hotel."
"I'm afraid this is the only one in the English professional league."
"Well, not even Manchester City."
The two linesmen in the car laughed and talked about Southampton's high-level reception.
Jonathan Moss sat there without saying a word.
He was used to this kind of scene, and he could even predict that this kind of high-level reception would continue, and then people from the club would come up to get close to them and build relationships with them.
This kind of thing has happened many times, and he doesn't find it strange.
But as a professional referee, he has his own bottom line, because he knows very well that there is a fourth official on the sidelines and a game supervisor in the stands.
Every move he makes on the court will be recorded by them one by one.
After the game, the referee company His calls will be graded, and if he fails, he will face a fine or even a ban.
In the past, refereeing was just a part-time job, and everyone was relatively indifferent to it, but now it is a full-time referee, and Jonathan Moss does not dare to joke about his career future.
Therefore, he has always been wary of Southampton's high-level reception.
He even suspected that Southampton wanted to bribe before the game.
"How others receive it is their business.
What should we do and how we should do it."
Jonathan Moss' words were echoed by the two linesmen, who both knew their every move was being watched.
But what surprised them was that the reception was indeed of a high standard.
Southampton arranged for them to stay at the Grand Harbor Hotel.
According to the driver, this is the best hotel in Southampton.
The new owner of the club, Yang Huan, lives in this hotel.
This further increased the suspicion of Jonathan Moss and others.
But after they checked into the hotel, they discovered that no one from Southampton had appeared in front of them at all.
Even the new club owner, who is rumored to be staying at the Grand Harbor Hotel.
This made Jonathan Moss and the three of them feel a little ashamed.
They judged a gentleman with a villain's heart.
At noon the next day, as the first game of the new season was approaching, Southampton's driver drove the Bentley to the hotel again and picked them up at St.
Mary's Stadium.
When the referee team arrived at St.
Mary's Stadium, there were not many fans here, and Southampton's executive chairman Nicolas Cortes only came to meet them, say hello, and then arranged for a staff member to receive them.
Inspecting the playing field and locker room, Jonathan Moss followed the pre-match process step by step and recorded everything, which will be submitted to the referee company for archiving after the game.
Throughout the entire process, Southampton showed no signs of being unprofessional or showing any signs of trying to get close to them.
This made Jonathan Moss and others breathe a sigh of relief, but they also couldn't help but have a good impression of this team.
"If every English team was as professional as them, our job would be much easier."
The fourth official said with a smile.
For them, it is very common for them to face the home team management or fans using various means to exert pressure before the game, or even verbal intimidation.
Even the Football Association has no way to stop it.
This situation occurs repeatedly in lower-level leagues, so the referee is often under great pressure.
But Southampton now gives them a more professional feeling than many Premier League teams, which left a deep impression on them.
"I heard things were not going well between Southampton and Plymouth either."
Jonathan Moss smiled bitterly.
Several cities on the south coast of England had very bad relations with each other, especially Southampton, which was the target of public criticism.
Who told him:
