"Master Huan, there is something I don't quite understand."
After Mubarak left, Hamad looked at Yang Huan with a puzzled expression.
"What's up" Yang Huan was sending a WeChat message to Sun Yue on his mobile phone, talking to him about this matter, so he responded perfunctorily.
"Why did you agree to Mubarak?"
Yang Huan was stunned when he heard this.
He turned around and looked at Hamad.
The little prince from the Middle East looked serious.
Obviously, he really doesn't understand.
The reason for the matter is that Yang Huan and Mubarak just reached a third cooperation agreement, that is, Manchester City hopes that Southampton can communicate with Manchester City in advance when selling Stroman.
Yang Huan also agreed.
But he didn't expect that the little prince from the Middle East would be so bored that he was puzzled by this matter.
A bit of a prank Yang Huan did not answer, he just glanced at Hamad and continued to send his WeChat message, while Peter Kenyon did it for him.
"It's normal, this is the norm in the transfer market" "How do you say this?"
Hamad asked in a very studious manner.
"It's very simple and easy to understand.
Stroman is not Manchester City's first choice.
He may even be ranked third or lower on their transfer list."
Hamad kept nodding, but said nothing.
"The reason why Manchester City did this is actually for double insurance."
Peter Kenyon knows the operation of the European transfer market very well.
After all, he has been involved in Manchester United and Chelsea for so many years.
"If I'm not wrong, Manchester City's number one target in the transfer market this summer is De Rossi from Roma in Serie A."
Mancini has always been very interested in De Rossi and has always wanted to use De Rossi and Yaya Toure to partner in the midfield to form Manchester City's world-class double midfielder configuration.
"However, it is obvious that Manchester City's plan to introduce De Rossi has encountered problems, so Mubarak will do this.
Once De Rossi's transfer does not work satisfactorily, they will retreat to the next best option and turn to Stroman."
A team's summer transfer list often has two, three, or even more options.
But it is impossible to operate every player on the roster.
This not only disperses the team's resources, but more importantly, damages the team's image.
Just imagine, if the other club and the player's agent have been having a good negotiation with you, and they have basically reached an agreement, but you suddenly tell them, sorry, our first choice player has been purchased, and they no longer need your player.
How will it be done?
It is foreseeable that this club cannot expect to make any further achievements in the transfer market in the future.
So, we have to change the way.
Many teams even frankly told the players' agents that your players are our spare tires.
You can keep them for me first.
If we can't buy our first choice target, we will bring in your players.
The transfer fee is whatever you want. , just don’t be too outrageous.
The player's agent and the selling team are happy to wait for the player's value to skyrocket, and they will even hype it in the media to drive up the player's value.
The buying team will also gain something, at least they can get a double share.
Insurance, isn't it?
This is also the reason why many unknown players can easily earn 10 to 20 million euros.
Mubarak didn't speak bluntly just now, but spoke in a somewhat cryptic way, so Hamad couldn't understand.
Yang Huan put down the phone and looked at Hamad with interest.
"I said, little prince of the Middle East, I have always been curious about why you, in such a small place, have so many international airlines."
When Yang Huan asked, Peter Kenyon also became interested.
Anyone familiar with the Middle East knows that there are indeed many airlines here.

Such as Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Gulf Air It’s not even a province the size of a sesame seed in China, but it has so many international airlines.
What’s the point?
Now that both Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways are partners of Yang Huan, they naturally want to know more about them.
When Hamad heard this, he immediately became happy and smiled.
That look seemed to be saying, Oh, Master Huan, it turns out that there are times when you don’t understand and you ask me.
That look and expression made Yang Huan so angry that he almost slapped him in the face.
"Don't tell me."
Yang Huan smiled and pretended to fight.
"I said, I said" Hamad quickly begged for mercy.
"Needless to say, the general direction is that oil will be hollowed out one day, so almost every country in the Middle East hopes to get rid of oil dependence.
That's why Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and we have Qatar."
This is quite easy to understand.
“And in the past few years, Middle Eastern consortiums have been acquiring companies with strong value preservation around the world, such as water services, electricity, transportation facilities, luxury brands, and shops in developed European countries, all out of this mentality. " Don't tell me, there are really no fools in this world.
Many people think that the Middle East consortium has stupid people and a lot of money.
However, they do not know that they also have their own agenda.
If we look at it in the long run, we still don’t know who is the fool.
“In terms of investment, new energy and high technology have always been favored, but there is also the media, such as the most famous Al Jazeera, which is known as the n in the Middle East and now has considerable influence around the world. " Only then did Yang Huan think that he heard that Qatar acquired Paris Saint-Germain because it wanted to enter the French media field.
"But the consortium is most interested in airlines."
After all, Hamad comes from a wealthy family, and his knowledge is really good.
His analysis is sound and convincing.
"The Middle East is located in the middle of Asia, Africa and Latin America.
It has inherent geographical advantages and is very suitable for being a transit station.
Therefore, when the countries in the Middle East realize this, they immediately rush in one after another."
"I remember that the earliest Gulf Airlines was acquired by Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Oman and Bahrain from the British Civil Aviation Company.
However, after entering the new century, the advantages of transit stations gradually emerged, coupled with different business philosophies, so We in Qatar took the lead in withdrawing from Gulf Air and forming Qatar Airways.”
"After that, Abu Dhabi also withdrew and established Etihad Airways.
Together with Emirates Airline, which was established in Dubai in the 1980s, these three are now the strongest in the entire Gulf region."
At this moment, Yang Huan could vaguely understand the general context.
In the past few years, especially after the outbreak of the subprime mortgage and European debt crises, the global aviation industry has fallen into a period of depression.
However, under such circumstances, the three major airlines in the Gulf region have begun to expand in large strides.
On the one hand, they have absorbed the shares of other airlines around the world through deep-pocketed mergers and acquisitions.
At the same time, they have increased investment in improving service quality and attracting More customers and a firm foothold in the market.
That’s why Etihad Airways is so bold in sponsoring the International Champions Cup and developing the US market.
They don’t lack money at all, they just lack market and popularity.
When the global economy recovers in a few years, the advantages and value of these three airlines will be truly reflected.
Thinking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help but laugh.
"You can't tell, you Middle Easterners are quite cunning too."
Hamad was quite smug and seemed very proud of being praised by Yang Huan.
Yang Huan slapped his thigh hard and stood up directly.
"Okay, things are finally done."
Peter Kenyon and Hamad quickly stood up.
"Peter, the team's affairs will proceed according to the plan we mentioned before."
Peter Kenyon kept nodding.
"Sun Yue will take care of the preparations for the event, so there should be no problem."
Peter Kenyon and Hamad were both confused now.

What was Master Huan planning to do?
"So, in the next few days, you'd better not bother me if you have nothing to do.
I want to retreat." retreat Both Peter Kenyon and Hamad were a little dumbfounded.
I have long heard that Master Huan would retreat into seclusion whenever he encountered something important.
I didn't expect that such a thing really happened
"Master Huan, why should such a good person be in seclusion?"
Peter Kenyon didn't understand.
Yang Huan smiled meaningfully, "You will know when the time comes."
After saying that, he left.
Only Peter Kenyon and Hamad were left standing there, stunned.
What is going on?
When Yang Huan walked out of Tingyuxuan, Richard Scudmore, who was far away in London, received a call from Sky TV CEO Jeremy Dallock.
The Premier League chief executive's shocked expression shocked everyone in the office.
But the violent news that caught them even more unprepared followed closely.
'What reassessing Premier League broadcast rights' Scudmore couldn't believe his ears.
It had been broadcast for so many years.
It was necessary to re-evaluate.
"Jeremy, are you kidding me?"
"I'm sorry, Richard, this is from the superiors."
Jeremy Darroch on the other side of the phone sighed helplessly.
"Why don't you know that losing the Premier League broadcasting rights will shake up your Sky TV network?"
"No, Richard, we are very clear, very clear," Jeremy Darroch explained patiently.
“So, we’re not saying we’re giving up, we’re just hoping to reevaluate the package and the bidding.”
But in Richard Scudmore's opinion, this is more like playing tricks.
Until he hung up the phone, he was still thinking about what was going on.
Sky TV giving up the rights to broadcast the Premier League is definitely a stupid move that will hurt both parties.
Besides, it's not like the Premier League can't find a team to take over, but the price must have shrunk significantly.
But what about Sky TV?
The losses will definitely be more severe It may even be impossible to recover from the fall.
What was the reason for Sky TV to make such a decision?
There is no doubt that they are taking the opportunity to lower prices and put pressure on the Premier League.
But what do they have to rely on?
A thought immediately flashed through Scudmore's mind, Southampton With the spread of media reporters, almost the whole world is now hyping the fact that Southampton will withdraw from the Premier League.
This undoubtedly gave Sky TV an opportunity to put pressure on The Premier League and Sky TV are a community of interests.
Both prosper and lose.
Therefore, Scudmore does not really believe that Sky wants to withdraw from the battle for broadcast rights.
And he quickly realized the problem.
That's Southampton Thinking of this, Scudmore immediately took out his mobile phone, found Yang Huan's number in the address book, and called him.
"Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off" Shut down Shut down at this time What a coincidence Scudmore searched the address book again, found Peter Kenyon, and called again.
"Hey, Peter, it's me, Richard."
"Hello Richard" "I want to meet Mr.
Yang Huan.
I don't know when he will be free."
"Sorry, Richard, Master Huan has been busy these days, and he is not in Europe."
"He is not in Europe."

Scudmore frowned, "Then when will he come back?"
"I'm afraid I have to wait at least half a month."
Peter Kenyon's answer disappointed Scudmore.
Could it be that he knew this would happen a long time ago, so he deliberately avoided it?
"Richard, actually meeting our Young Master Huan at this time is of no use," Peter Kenyon said with a smile on the phone.
"Why" "The crux of the problem is not us, it's the other teams, you know what I mean."
Scudmore was stunned and immediately understood what Peter Kenyon was referring to.
It seems that another special summit of Premier League presidents must be organized quickly.
Otherwise, by the time the next regular meeting is held, the start of the league will have been missed.
This matter is extraordinary and concerns the interests of all Premier League teams.
A decision must be made early.
Thinking of this, Scudmore talked to Peter Kenyon for a few more words, and after some communication, he hung up the phone.
"Go, send a fax to the other 19 Premier League teams, and tell them that in half a month, a special summit of Premier League Presidents will be held temporarily":
