In Germany, in addition to the gap between the east and the west caused by World War II, there have always been many conflicts between the south and the north.
Especially with the decline of some heavy industrial cities in the north and the influx of immigrants over the years, the conflicts between the north and the south have intensified.
Although it does not lead to conflicts, there is a lot of psychological prejudice.
In recent years, although there are big cities like Hamburg and Berlin in the north, in terms of livable environment, they still lag behind cities such as Munich in the south.
The latter is more suitable for living in terms of climate and environment, and is the favorite place for German wealthy people to gather. place of residence.
But for some wealthy northerners who are alienated from the south, allowing them to live in Munich in the south is undoubtedly against their inner wishes.
Therefore, they prefer to choose Switzerland further south.
Especially around Zurich.
Klaus Michael Kuhn, a well-known super-rich man in Hamburg, ranked 39th in the European Forbes list and 95th in the global Forbes list, with a net worth of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, is located in the southeast of Zurich.
Department, Skidlege in canton Schwyz.
Seventy-seven-year-old Kuhn has lived in Switzerland for many years.
Because he is engaged in the shipping industry, his mansion is designed to look like the command cabin of an ocean-going ship.
The interior is extremely luxurious and has been reported by the media, but those who really have a chance to see it are Very few.
Although the German tycoon is already in semi-retirement, he is still very dedicated to Hamburg.
The most famous thing is that in 2008, in order to keep Hapag-Lloyd, the world's leading container ship operator with a history of more than 160 years, in Germany, Kuhn and the Hamburg city government issued an appeal to jointly form a joint venture with many investors. formed a consortium to complete the acquisition of Hapag-Lloyd.
This acquisition further enhanced Kuhn's reputation and status in Hamburg.
Not only that, but Kuhn is a well-known Hamburg fan.
Almost every time there is a crisis in the Hamburg Club, Kuhn can be seen.
The Kuhn family and the Otto family, ranked 11th on the European rich list, with a net worth of more than 18 billion US dollars, are known as the two major financial backers behind Hamburg.
Therefore, every time there is the slightest disturbance in Hamburg, they will be contacted immediately.
This time is no exception.
At nearly noon, the sun was shining brightly, and Kuhn Manor welcomed guests from Hamburg.
The butler recognized at a glance that the leader was Alexander Otto of the Otto family.
He is the younger brother of Michael Otto, who heads the Otto Group, and is mainly responsible for Europe's largest shopping mall development chain.
Don't underestimate this ECE Group.
Although it is not as good as your brother's Alto Group, it has an annual turnover of 20 billion euros and owns nearly 200 large shopping malls in Europe.
It is the dominant player in the European retail industry.
Unlike his elder brother Michael Otto, who is keen on doing business, his younger brother Alexander Otto is more interested in football and has been an avid Hamburg fan since he was a child.
Therefore, he and Kuhn are the most famous and influential representatives of Hamburg fans.
Also traveling with him were Bernhorst and Sergei Barbarets, among Hamburg's leading local tycoons.
The only thing that can have so many rich people appear in the same place at the same time is basically the Hamburg Club.
Klaus Michael Kuhn had obviously known their purpose for a long time, so he had a secret conversation with them in the study.
The topic of discussion is undoubtedly the current situation in Hamburg.
"In the past few days, Kerkhoff has been calling me and saying he wants to meet with me."
In the study, Klaus Michael Kuhn gathered in a circle with the visitors.
This seventy-seven-year-old man with silver hair spoke slowly and calmly, as if he didn't care about anything.
But everyone listened to him carefully and listened to his opinions willingly.
"But, I didn't see him, and later I simply stopped answering the phone."
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this.
Unexpectedly, Kuhn actually took it seriously this time.
"We have paid enough for this club over the past few years, but in their eyes, all this seems to have become a matter of course."
Kuhn's words were recognized by everyone present.
To some extent, that's what Hamburg's management is thinking.
In any case, no matter how hard they try, it doesn't matter in the end, there will be fans who will support them anyway.
The worst case scenario is a change of leadership.

But after so many years, the leadership has changed one after another.
What is the result?
"I still remember that in the 1980s, Bayern South and Hamburg North represented the highest level of German football.
The duel between the two giants was known as the North-South Derby.
How beautiful Hamburg was at that time."
The group of rich fans present, even the youngest Alexander Otto, are witnesses of Hamburg's most glorious period.
At that time, Otto happened to be a passionate young man who was extremely eager to play for Hamburg and be the same as in his heart.
The idols gallop together on the green field.
That's why he has been Hamburg's fan representative for the past few years.
"Bayern Munich at that time was not as good as us at all.
They were even in deep financial crisis and almost finished.
But in the end, they not only survived, but also completed their rise in the 1990s, taking advantage of the boom of television broadcasts. , establishing their status as the Bundesliga hegemon in one fell swoop.”
"But for us, Hamburg's situation has been getting worse and worse in the past two or three decades.
It has long lost the demeanor of the Bundesliga giants in the past, and even the team's dignity has been lost time and time again."
"When it comes to money, we will not lose to Bayern Munich.
When it comes to players, our foundation is still not bad.
But why is it that Bayern Munich can get out of the predicament and establish itself as the super power of the Bundesliga, but our Hamburg is getting worse and worse?
, that’s it for the first team, the youth training camp exists in name only, and even the team’s financial revenue has problems.”
At the end of Kuhn's words, everyone present also looked indignant.
Everyone now says that Bayern Munich is the dominant player in the Bundesliga, and other teams simply cannot keep up.
But how many people know that Bayern Munich’s rise only took so many years?
It has only been since the 1990s that it has truly established its dominance in the Bundesliga.
Hamburg, which also has superior objective conditions, is stuck in a quagmire.
The bottom line is that management is incompetent In the past, they were not ignorant of those bastard things of the management.
It was just that they were asked to pay some money, but they were asked to be involved in the daily management of the team.
Firstly, they were not good at it.
Secondly, they were not good at it.
I don't have the time or energy.
Therefore, they have always turned a blind eye and pretended not to know as long as it was not too much.
But in the past two years, the situation has obviously gotten worse.
It even came close to being relegated last season.
You know, Hamburg is the only Bundesliga team that has never been relegated.
For Hamburg fans, this is the last fig leaf for this traditional giant.
But those bastards couldn't even keep this last fig leaf.
Now that something like this has happened again, how can people bear it?
"How is the team's situation recently?"
Kuhn asked again.
"It's okay.
We just won the last warm-up match.
The fans are still looking forward to Tuchel's team."
After hearing this, Kuhn kept nodding and sighed, "Yes, the biggest wish of fans is to see their team getting stronger and better, isn't it?"
But soon, Kuhn turned to look at Alexander Otto.
"Alexander, do you think this Bild incident has anything to do with Thomas Lake and Beiersdorf?"
Alexander Otto shook his head, "I have investigated and found that the person who leaked the secret to Bild was my maid.
She had been bribed by a reporter from Bild to leak information about my family to the other party.

As a result, this time, the eavesdropper It got to the point where I was talking to Thomas Lake and others, so" "In addition, there is another person who is said to be from the club's financial department.
He has been in the position for more than six years, but has been fired by Thomas Lake.
It seems that it has nothing to do with them."
Kuhn smiled faintly and was noncommittal.
"It doesn't matter whether it matters or not.
What matters is whether they have the ability to lead this Hamburg team.
Is it possible that before I die, let me see Hamburg regain its former glory as the Northern King of German football?"
When they heard Kuhn say this, everyone noticed that he was already seventy-seven years old.
Although he is still in good health, he is getting older after all.
Over the years, he rarely even went to Hamburg games, saying he was afraid of being stimulated.
"Needless to say, Beiersdorf's ability.
When he was kicked out of the Hamburg management, we also retained him.
Tuchel's coaching level is also top-notch in Germany.
Even Compared with Klopp, Loew and others, it is not much better.
As for Thomas Lake" Speaking of this, Alexander Otto paused, "I specifically found someone to get to know him.
He is very capable.
He was originally an elite cultivated by Deutsche Bank, but he chose to leave.
It can be seen that he wants to rely on his personal ability to become a leader.
Make a career."
"The various measures he has taken since coming to Hamburg, although they are a bit suspected of suppressing Kerkhoff, are still based on the long term."
After Thomas Lake took office, he first began to eliminate redundant personnel vigorously, clean up the club's financial system, and reduce expenditures in all aspects.
Then he invited Bernhard Peters to reorganize the youth training camp.
To put it bluntly, Hamburg’s youth training is in Germany, and it ranks low.
What is not well known is that a few years ago, they, a group of wealthy fans, had raised funds to reorganize Hamburg's youth training.
As a result, the money was given, but the youth training was still missing.
Kuhn and others asked about this matter countless times, but the result was nothing.
"Alexander, I heard that your company has cooperation with Yang Huan," Kuhn suddenly asked again.
As soon as Yang Huan was mentioned, everyone present immediately looked over.
Alexander Otto nodded, "We have close cooperation with the e-gift card company owned by WeChat Company, and we are also very interested in building two shopping malls at Inter Milan's new stadium and Atletico Madrid's new stadium."
"What do you think of him?"
Kuhn asked with concern.
Alexander Otto shook his head, "I have met him several times in public, but I can't tell what kind of person he is at all.
However, judging from his management of Southampton and Atletico Madrid, if he has his heart, As the Bundesliga develops, Hamburg’s performance will definitely not be bad.”
After hearing this, Kun's eyes flashed with light and he nodded, obviously knowing what he was talking about.
"Can you arrange a time for us to meet him?"
Kuhn asked.
"This should be no problem."
Alexander Otto nodded, "I'll call Thomas Lake and he should be able to arrange it."
Kuhn nodded and said nothing more.
Everyone could see that he was completely desperate for Hamburg's management.
In the past, when there was no more suitable candidate, he was forced to compromise.
But now, he wants to make a better choice.
At the end of the day, they like the burger itself, not the management In fact, as long as the burgers are good, they don't mind who owns the club:
