In the afternoon, a silver helicopter flying from Nice Airport in France slowly landed at the Monaco Helicopter Airport.
This is also the only airport in the small country of Monaco.
The cabin door was opened by Zhao Yuanfang who came over.
Long Wu was the first to get out of the cabin.
After looking around, he jumped out.
Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing walked out slowly at this time, and Feng Jiu was last.
"Hello, Mr.
Yang Huan, welcome to Monaco" Monaco Club financial director Thomas Thomas, who had been waiting at the helicopter airport, immediately greeted him and extended his hand from a distance, looking very enthusiastic.
"Hello" Yang Huan shook his hand politely.
Domades didn't think there was any problem.
This young master Huan is now a famous figure in the world.
Prince Albert of Monaco has to personally receive him.
In front of him, he is nothing at all.
It is good to be treated with courtesy.
After Yang Huan was polite to Domades, he turned to Zhao Yuanfang and Pinizahavi who were picking them up at the airport.
The Israelis seemed very excited.
If this deal could be made, then he would be able to draw a lot of commission from it.
And he could also feel that Yang Huan was paying more and more attention to him.
Judging from the current situation of Monaco in the French second league, once Yang Huan really takes over, he will definitely have to make drastic adjustments to the lineup.
By then, whether it is signings or sales, he will be inseparable.
"Where is Prince Albert?"
Yang Huan asked casually.
"Waiting in the palace," Zhao Yuanfang came up and said.
"They booked a room at the Grand Hotel de Paris and chose this hotel as the meeting place.
I don't know whether Master Huan wants to take a rest first and then meet with His Highness the Prince, or whether he wants to meet and discuss things first and then rest."
Yang Huan glanced at Zhuang Ziqing beside him, his face full of fatigue.
Monaco itself has no airport, so Yang Huan and his party had to fly from London to Nice, and then transfer to a helicopter from Nice.
There will inevitably be a lot of struggle in the middle, and fatigue is normal.
"Let's send Ziqing to the hotel to rest in a moment, and then we can talk about things."
Zhao Yuanfang nodded immediately, asked Yang Huan to get in the car, and then went to tell Domadeus what Master Huan thought.
The latter immediately contacted the palace as soon as possible so that Prince Albert could prepare in advance.
The purpose of Yang Huan's trip is to acquire Monaco Club.
But it's troublesome The current shares of Monaco Club are mainly divided into two parts.
One part is held by the Monaco royal family, and the other part is owned by a company called Monaco Football Investment Company, referred to as Fi Company.
Reading newspapers in my previous life, when many Chinese media reported on the acquisition of Monaco by the Russian tycoon Rybolovlev, they confused FI with Horabchian's si company, but little did they know that the two were very different. fi was founded in 2003.
In that year, Monaco was almost ordered to be downgraded due to the debt crisis.
As the backstage boss of Monaco Club, Albert, who was still a prince at the time, used his connections to attract wealthy people including well-known European real estate developers Michel Pastor, Udrucci, Piccinini and other wealthy people to form The Monaco Football Investment Company acquired a 10% stake in Monaco.
The French Football League has strict regulations that no local government can subsidize a team more than a certain percentage each year.
But at that time, Monaco was in debt of 50 million euros and it was obvious that it could not survive.
Therefore, Albert and others used the method of establishing a company to acquire the club's shares to inject capital into the club in disguise to avoid this regulation.
Later, although Monaco reached the Champions League final and finished second, with good results, the finances were still unable to make ends meet, and FI companies were also constantly injecting capital.
The most impressive thing is that in order to stabilize the hearts of Deschamps and the team, fi company directly paid 16 million euros and promised high bonuses to the team, which finally helped Monaco enter the Champions League. finals.
But in the end, they lost to Mourinho's Porto in the final.
Because of the continuous increase in debt, fi companies are also constantly injecting capital and constantly increasing their shareholding in the club.
Fi currently holds 51% of Monaco's shares, while the Monaco royal family only holds 49%, losing its controlling stake.

But even so, the Monaco royal family still has the power of life and death in the Monaco Club.
In other words, to acquire Monaco, Prince Albert’s nod is required.
But there is also a good thing.
After a few years of lows after finishing second in the Champions League, Monaco has successfully got rid of the debt crisis.
However, selling players and cutting wages have made Monaco's competitive strength hover in the middle and lower reaches of Ligue 1, even in the French Ligue 1.
In 2011, they were relegated to Ligue 2 and failed to reach Serie A.
On the way to the Paris Hotel in Monaco, Yang Huan kept thinking about information about Monaco in his mind.
Among the three Ligue 1 teams he is interested in, the boss behind Rennes has made it clear that Rennes is not for sale.
As the saying goes, if you don't have desires, you will be strong.
The boss is also a rich man and he is not short of money.
Even if Yang Huan wants to buy it, it will not be that easy.
Another team, Marseille, is very enthusiastic and very strong, with an asking price of about 100 million euros.
However, according to Cash Harris' investigation, Marseille currently still has a debt of about 100 million euros.
This gave Yang Huan a headache.
A French Ligue 1 team without stadium ownership is asking for 200 million So Yang Huan set his main target on Monaco.
This team does have a natural flaw, that is, the home attendance rate is too low, but according to Yang Huan's survey, the per capita consumption of Monaco fans at the stadium is quite high.
Didn't someone say that?
In Monaco, one out of three people is a rich man What's more, it's a tax haven.
In Monaco, the tax burden required to pay players' salaries is about 7.5%.
In France, once President Hollande implemented the so-called special wealth tax, a 75% tax was levied on individuals with an annual income of more than one million euros.
According to this tax calculation method, based on an after-tax annual salary of 10 million euros, for other Ligue 1 teams, the club's cost is approximately between 65 million and 70 million euros.
But in Monaco?
More than 11 million In other words, for the same amount of money, other Ligue 1 teams can only support one, but Monaco can support six.
This is Monaco’s biggest advantage Even in Yang Huan's view, this advantage not only affects Monaco Club, but also helps Southampton to avoid taxes more reasonably and securely.
This is just in the field of football, what if it were magnified?
As the European debt crisis continues to deepen, the EU has never been able to escape the crisis.
It is inevitable that all countries will raise taxes to save government finances, even Germany and France.
By then, tax havens like Monaco will have unprecedented appeal.
In addition, there is another place in Monaco that attracts Yang Huan, and that is the Royal Yacht Club of Monaco.
This is an important top yachting organization in the world, with members from more than 60 countries and more than 1,200 super-rich people.
There are currently many top yacht clubs in China who hope to become members of the Royal Yacht Club of Monaco, including the yacht clubs of the Yang Group.
If in-depth and close cooperation can be carried out, Yang Huan's Sunseeker Yachts and Aston Martin All have great benefits.
It is precisely because of various considerations other than football that Yang Huan has set Monaco as his first choice.
"Master Huan, we have arrived at the Paris Hotel" Zhao Yuanfang, who was in the front row, turned around and said.
The car quickly stopped at the hotel gate.
Immediately there were guards on the left and right running over to help open the door, and stood aside politely with indescribable respect.
“Welcome to the Grand Hotel Paris Monaco” Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing got off the car at the right time.
Holding hands, they walked into this low-floor but extremely luxuriously decorated hotel, known as the top hotel in Monaco.
As soon as he entered the lobby, he was immediately greeted by the manager who had already received the news.
"Hello, Mr.
Yang Huan, His Royal Highness Prince Albert has arrived and is waiting for you in the living room upstairs."
After a pause, the polite middle-aged Frenchman smiled again like a gentleman.
"In addition, the presidential suite that His Royal Highness the Prince has reserved for Mr.
Yang Huan is also ready."
Yang Huan was still very satisfied with this service attitude and turned to look at Zhuang Ziqing.

"You go up and rest first.
I'll come back to you later."
Zhuang Ziqing knew that he had something to talk about, so she didn't say much, nodded, and left with Feng Jiu.
Yang Huan, Zhao Yuanfang, and Pinizahavi, accompanied by Domades, took the elevator to the reception room on the third floor of the hotel.
As soon as I got out of the elevator and walked into the living room, I saw the half-bald Prince Albert from a distance.
"Hello, Your Royal Highness the Prince" "Hello, Mr.
Yang Huan, welcome to Monaco" "Thanks" After shaking hands, the two introduced several assistants participating in the negotiations to each other.
It was through the introduction of Prince Albert that Yang Huan met the famous European real estate developer Michel Pastor.
It is said that this rich man who is already old has rarely appeared in public, but this time he took action in person.
This more or less made Yang Huan feel the sincerity of Monaco.
"Mr.
Yang Huan, when you come to Monaco for the first time, you must stay a few more days.
I believe there will be countless people who hope to have the opportunity to get to know you," Prince Albert said with a smile.
Yang Huan is now a world-famous diamond king, needless to say, his net worth is astonishing.
What he represents behind him is the Yang Group.
Nowadays, where in the world does not value Chinese consortiums?
"Okay, His Royal Highness the Prince kindly invites you, so I'd rather be respectful than obey."
Prince Albert burst out laughing when he heard Yang Huan agreed.
He is said to be a prince and has a distinguished status, but that was inherited from his father's generation.
But actually When it comes to going out, in terms of influence, he can't even catch up with Yang Huan.
At the very least, Yang Huan can make hundreds of thousands of people boo by shouting a few words on WeChat.
Can he do it?
Prince Albert and others also had this kind of self-awareness, so they were very polite when dealing with Yang Huan.
Especially when Yang Huan mentioned that he was very interested in investing in Monaco, the Prince of Monaco smiled from ear to ear and kept expressing his welcome.
Don't tell me, it's really good to come to Monaco to invest.
If Yang Huan remembers correctly, in the next few years, real estate prices across Europe will generally fall, but only Monaco, which has long held the highest housing prices in the world, is still rising.
The reason is just like what Yang Huan said just now.
When the whole of Europe is raising taxes, the rich rush to Monaco in order to avoid taxes.
Real estate has undoubtedly become their preferred way to enter Monaco.
Because they always have to find a place to live.
However, most of the apartment buildings in Monaco are very old, and land resources are in short supply, so there is a strong demand for old city renovation and renovation of old buildings.
This is also normal.
Which rich man would want to live in a shabby apartment building like that?
Of course it’s a high-end, classy new building.
Besides, if the Yang Group comes to invest, it can also attract more Chinese people who want to buy houses overseas, killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, as soon as he heard that Yang Huan had such an intention, Prince Albert almost made the decision on the spot and would definitely support it fully:
