I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 255 Blueprint for the Future! The Moat of the Rich! The Chinese in Bayswater Surrounded by Wolves! [Subscribe]

From the moment Rizzoli's whistle sounded, Yang Cheng seemed to be swept up and followed involuntarily.

He first accepted interviews from media reporters from all over the world in the comprehensive media area on the sidelines.

Then comes the interaction with the players.

Finally, he went on stage to receive the award.

Before receiving the award, Yang Cheng chatted with Guardiola for a while under the podium.

It can be seen that this game was a terrible loss and it was a big blow to Guardiola.

Not only did the Barcelona players look listless, but even Guardiola looked particularly frustrated.

"We didn't create many chances throughout the game!"

This is what Guardiola finds most difficult to accept.

He spent four years carefully building the team, but in the end he was completely helpless against the Chinese in Bayswater.

If Yang Cheng adopted the iron-clad defense strategy, that would be fine.

But Yang Cheng did not retreat, but chose to fight back.

In terms of ball possession, the two sides were 57 to 43, a difference of 14 percentage points.

But this is nothing for Barcelona.

Guardiola's team basically has a ball possession rate of more than 6%, or even close to 7%.

But now, it’s only 57%, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.

"I think it's time for me to take a break and think about it carefully," Guardiola said helplessly.

Yang Cheng was slightly stunned.

If he understood correctly, Guardiola was saying that he planned to leave Barcelona?

This is really not surprising at all.

Not to mention that he had already wanted to retire, now that they lost the Champions League final like this, it is normal for him to want to leave.

Even the Barcelona top management probably won't keep him.

At this time, they would like to put all the blame on Guardiola.

But what else can Yang Cheng say?

"When I really have free time, I will come to London to see you someday. I haven't yet visited your training base which is praised by the industry!" Guardiola said with a smile.

"I'm welcome anytime!" Yang Cheng certainly wouldn't refuse.

But will Guardiola coach Bayern Munich after a year's rest like he did in his previous life?

Yang Cheng wasn't quite sure.

"By the way, Toni Kroos is really strong!" Guardiola specially praised him.

It can be seen that he admires the German midfield very much.

Yang Cheng nodded with a smile and accepted it on behalf of Toni Kroos.

Since Guardiola is about to leave Barcelona, ​​Yang Cheng naturally doesn't have to worry that there is an intention to poach players behind his words.

As for Toni Kroos' strength, Yang Cheng knows it better than anyone else.

In Yang Cheng’s previous life, Guardiola admired Toni Kroos very much.

It’s a pity that Bayern eventually sold him.

While receiving the award, Yang Cheng met Prince William and his wife, British Prime Minister Cameron, German Chancellor Merkel, and London Mayor Ken Livingstone in the stands.

Of course, UEFA President Platini and Secretary General Infantino are also indispensable.

Yang Cheng and others accepted congratulations along the way and went on stage to receive awards.

After receiving the award, they first celebrated on the podium for a while, and then took a group photo in the stadium.

After taking the photo, they stayed in the stadium to celebrate for about half an hour before returning to the locker room.

In the locker room, everyone celebrated for a while.

All the players have been suppressed for a long time.

Especially this season, the team's schedule is too tight and the competition pressure is very high.

But everyone withstood the pressure and successfully won the Triple Crown!

Therefore, Yang Cheng also gave the players enough space to let them celebrate all night long in the hotel.

But you are not allowed to leave the hotel!

This is mainly because Yang Cheng was afraid that after the players left the hotel and went outside, some scandal might occur.

For example, Manchester United’s Christmas dinner that year ended up in a big uproar, and everyone looked bad.

Families of players and employees also came to celebrate at the hotel.

In the end, the whole team celebrated all night.

In order to avoid spoiling everyone's fun, Yang Cheng only participated in the beginning and then quietly withdrew, leaving the carnival time to all the players.

……

"According to the accurate information we have received from UEFA, after winning the championship, our income from championship bonuses and broadcasting fees this season will exceed 6000 million euros, which is about 4800 million pounds."

"Plus we will get £6100 million from the Premier League."

"There's also a range of revenues from the International Champions Cup, the FA Cup and the League Cup."

"We expect our broadcasting revenues to be around £1.3 million this season."

While the players were partying and celebrating all night long in the hotel, Yang Cheng was drinking with Xia Qing, Adam Crozier, Omar Berrada and other core members of the club in the open-air bar on the rooftop of the hotel.

The topic naturally turned to the club's revenue this season.

Last season, Bayswater Chinese earned around £1.15 million from broadcasting fees.

The increase of more than 10 million pounds comes from this season's Champions League revenue.

The Chinese team at Bayswater earned 6000 million euros in the Champions League, but Barcelona, ​​which reached the final, only earned about 4500 million euros.

This is not the difference between the champion and the runner-up.

But it is because behind the Chinese in Bayswater is the whole of England.

The television broadcasting rights for the Champions League in England are sold at a very high price, so the share of broadcasting fees received by Premier League teams in the Champions League is unmatched by other leagues.

In fact, if nothing unexpected happens, Manchester City, which has reached the semi-finals, may be higher than the two giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.

This is the biggest advantage of the Premier League!

As for the distribution of the Premier League's broadcasting rights, it is now basically fixed.

The champion is about 6100 million pounds.

"Our matchday revenue has not increased much, it is expected to be £1.7 million, only a small increase on last season, but overall it is still very stable."

Last season, Bayswater Chinese had match-day revenue of £1.65 million.

Among the three major revenue segments, commercial revenue undoubtedly has the largest growth rate.

Thanks to the multiple contract renewals signed since the 11/12 season, especially the major sponsorships signed by the club with Prudential and Puma, the club's commercial revenue has jumped directly from 1.05 million pounds last season to 1.7 million pounds this past season.

Moreover, this does not include the stadium naming contract signed with Prudential Insurance and the £500 million per year sponsorship contract signed with Mann, which will take effect next season.

Combining the three major sectors, Bayswater Chinese's total revenue in the past season will reach a staggering 4.7 million pounds.

This translates to about 5.9 million euros.

"According to the reliable intelligence we have received, Real Madrid's revenue this season is only about 5.1 to 5.2 million euros, and it will definitely not exceed this number!" Adam Crozer said confidently.

Yang Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this.

This means that Bayswater Chinese is now truly the club with the highest revenue in world football!
And it’s far ahead of the second place.

This is really not an easy thing for the Chinese in Bayswater.

Not only Yang Cheng felt proud, but Adam Crozier, Omar Berrada and others also felt proud of it.

Because they all still remember clearly that when they came to this team, Bayswater Chinese Talents was just a team that had just been promoted to the Premier League.

Seven years passed in the blink of an eye.

Today, with their joint efforts, the Chinese in Bayswater have become a well-known top club in European football.

Especially this revenue, it will definitely make all the top teams envious to death!

All the club's accounts are handled by Xia Qing, so she naturally knows the club's current income and expenditure situation.

It is indeed a lot of money, and there is ample liquidity.

But so far, there are actually not many left, and basically all the available space has been invested in the new stadium project.

it's good now.

The new stadium will be opened soon.

Next season, Bayswater Chinese's income will continue to increase.

In addition, Bayswater Chinese's revenue does not include income from the transfer market and rental income from the four stadiums around the new stadium.

"From the current perspective, the broadcasting fee income is 1.3 million pounds, but this is difficult for us to control."

Adam Crozier analyzed the team's current revenue structure and future growth points.

The income from broadcasting fees is mainly determined by the team's performance. At the same time, the amount of broadcasting fees is related to the copyright auctions of the Premier League and UEFA.

Yang Cheng initially estimated that the next rapid growth in broadcasting fee income would have to wait until the next auction of the Premier League's broadcasting rights.

That is the auction this summer.

In Yang Cheng's previous life, the three-year broadcasting rights of the Premier League from 2013 to 2016 sold for 3 billion pounds in the domestic market and 32 billion pounds in the overseas market.

The current one being implemented has a domestic market of 19.5 billion pounds and an overseas market of 14.4 billion pounds.

Yang Cheng also did some calculations privately and estimated that the local market would be similar to that in his previous life.

Because the potential of the domestic market is very limited, Sky Sports has almost been pushed to its limit.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should remain about this number.

This is limited by objective laws and there is no way to change it.

But the overseas market should see rapid growth, and the figure will definitely be higher than in the previous life.

By that time, the Premier League champions will be able to receive over 100 million pounds every season.

Even a relegated team can get more than 60 million pounds.

This will definitely further increase the level of competition in the Premier League, and will also greatly enhance the Premier League's influence in European football.

Of course, Yang Cheng would definitely not reveal this now.

"With broadcasting fees out of our control, our next focus will be on match day revenue and commercial revenue."

“Since we are moving into a new stadium this year, we will focus on match day revenue.”

The current capacity of the new stadium has been revealed, which is just over 9. Excluding some mobile seats, on average every game can seat a full 9 people.

This will also make the Prudential Stadium surpass Wembley Stadium to become the largest football stadium in the UK!
In addition, there are 250 VIP boxes and a series of supporting commercial facilities such as the sky bar.

These can bring a steady stream of income to the club.

"In the past two years, we have invited third-party agencies to conduct research on the London ticket market three times, and also conducted research on fans. In the end, we unanimously decided that the ticket price system for the new season will be completely reorganized."

"We will be introducing a whole range of concessions for both older and younger fans."

"For example, members aged 21 to 24 will enjoy a 25% discount on season tickets and single-game tickets."

"We have also introduced a discount for family packages, offering a 17% discount for young members aged 18 to 50 and a 16% discount for members aged 60 and under."

Promotions like this are actually aimed at attracting more young fans and family fans.

For example, Chelsea has specially set aside one side of the stands as a family fan area, which is full of families.

Even though these family fans get discounts on children's tickets, in fact, these fans have the highest spending power.

This means that the money earned from the ticket discounts can be earned back from retail sales.

Even earn more.

Therefore, Bayswater Chinese will also make similar plans at Prudential Arena.

"Following the restructured ticket pricing we expect the average ticket price to be £45 and the average season ticket price to be £990."

The Chinese in Bayswater have been learning from Arsenal and have included the three Champions League group stage games in the season ticket sales.

This has had a very obvious boost to the team's season ticket sales.

So, other people's season tickets are for 19 games, but Bayswater Chinese and Arsenal are for 22 games.

But even so, the ticket price for Chinese people in Bayswater is still lower than that of Arsenal.

But it has to be taken into account that both Wembley Stadium and the Prudential Arena are much larger than Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.

Yang Cheng did a rough calculation and estimated that the annual ticket revenue would exceed 1 million pounds.

This does not include VIP boxes and match-day retail revenue, etc.

This season's revenue is only around 9 million pounds.

"How do fans react to the ticket price increase?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.

Xia Qing took over and replied, "I have previously asked the fan service department to conduct a survey with all the major fan organizations, and the general response is good. After all, our ticket prices have not increased over the years."

From promotion to the Premier League in 05 to now, the price of Bayswater Chinese tickets has not increased at all.

This has to be said to be very surprising.

Now, the average price has increased by £5, so how can fans be dissatisfied?

The price increases of other teams will only be more severe than that of Bayswater Chinese.

Of course, this is just based on the ticket prices.

The club's match and season tickets will also include winter heating costs.

Because when winter comes, Prudential Arena will close the roof and provide heating, which will definitely be charged.

"At present, all 250 VIP boxes of the club have been sold out. There are even many people queuing and inquiring. It can be said that the supply exceeds the demand. The income from this will definitely be higher than when we were at Wembley Stadium."

Adam Crozier happily reported, "In addition, we have made a breakthrough in attracting investment for the training center and 10 satellite training centers, and it is expected that the deal will be concluded in the near future."

"Who signed?" Yang Cheng also became happy.

This is definitely a huge sum of money.

Adam Crozier started planning and attracting investment two years ago.

Over the past year, we have talked to many companies, and many of them were very interested.

For example, France's AXA and the United States' Aon Insurance are both very interested in this cooperation.

Unfortunately, as Prudential is the main sponsor and has named the new stadium, Bayswater Chinese can no longer attract the insurance company according to the sponsorship contract.

Last year, Adam Crozier and others traveled to the Middle East and contacted the Dubai Tourism Bureau.

They also thought about sponsoring in Europe and promoting Dubai tourism.

But it was not the Dubai Tourism Board that signed the contract in the end.

“It’s the Qatar Tourism Authority!”

"Qatar?"

"Yes, they offered a higher price than Dubai, signing a five-year contract with an annual sponsorship fee of 5 million pounds, but they asked us not only to name the training center and satellite training center, but also to advertise for them around the training ground and on training uniforms."

Yang Cheng laughed when he heard this.

The price was beyond his previous expectations.

According to his original idea, it would be good if he could sell it for 2000 million pounds.

Unexpectedly, the Qatar Investment Authority was willing to give 3000 million pounds.

"On the one hand, the platform we offer in a package is really very generous, not only the Brent training center, but also the naming rights of 10 satellite training centers throughout London and surrounding areas, densely populated areas, as well as the jersey naming rights.

There are now many young Chinese players in Bayswater, and they are attracting a lot of attention.

"On the other hand, Qatar has been working hard to build momentum and publicity after winning the right to host the World Cup. This £3000 million is just a drop in the bucket for them."

Yang Cheng deeply agreed with this.

But he still felt that it was quite good.

"We have finally made it through and now the hard times are over!" Yang Cheng laughed.

Everyone nodded.

Bayswater Chinese have been heavily in debt since Yang Cheng took over the team in 2003.

First, he borrowed money to repay debts, then he took out a loan to build the Brent Training Center, and later he built satellite training centers all over Greater London, and then he raised money to build a new stadium.

Not to mention that the Chinese in Bayswater themselves have poor family backgrounds, even those with rich family backgrounds cannot withstand such ordeal.

But now, everything has come to fruition.

The initial investment is now reaping rewards.

"Good days will come from now on!" Adam Crozier also breathed a sigh of relief.

Unconsciously, Bayswater Chinese has become the most outstanding masterpiece in his career!

I don’t know when it started, but in various business occasions, his most prominent resume is about Bayswater Chinese.

This has made Adam Crozier deeply tied to the club.

"Oh, by the way, Nice has successfully retained the French Ligue 1 championship this season. You should find time to go over and take a look at their new training base." Adam Croser suddenly remembered.

This is another amazing story!
Just as Yang Cheng expected, after losing Giroud, Montpellier, the French Ligue 1 champions of this season in his previous life, is now much worse than before.

Since the beginning of the new season, Paris Saint-Germain, which has invested heavily, has been leading the way and even defeated Nice 7-2 at home in the 1th round.

Ronald Koeman's team was in hot pursuit and kept close to Paris Saint-Germain.

By February, before the 2rd round of Ligue 23, there was still a 1-point gap between the two teams.

But in this game, Nice defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 at home and successfully reversed the situation and topped the list.

Since then, Nice has never fallen from the top of Ligue 1.

Many players on the team performed very well.

For example, Pellet on the front line scored 23 league goals.

Aubameyang even had an amazing stats of 16 goals and 11 assists.

Stroman in the midfield and Aurier, Nastasic, Blind and others in the back line all performed very well.

Nice was able to win the French Ligue 3 championship with a -point lead over Paris Saint-Germain. Its performance won the attention of the entire European football world.

Head coach Ronald Koeman and several outstanding players in the team have also attracted the attention of many top league teams.

It can be said that all these made Yang Cheng’s investment at that time seem particularly wise!

In addition to its success in sports, in the business field, Nice's consecutive trips to the Middle East for winter training have allowed this French Ligue 1 team to gradually emerge and win a lot of attention.

It has also won the support of many fans in the Middle East and North Africa.

Together with Martin Harrison and Emmanuel Perrin, together with David Pensel and others from the ICC, they decided to hold warm-up cup matches in the Middle East and Africa during the winter training period.

This will be a major move to develop the Middle East and African markets in the long term.

Now, Yang Cheng controls more than just the Chinese in Bayswater.

There is also a French Ligue 1 champion team!
It can be said that he is also climbing up the list of power in European football. Of course, he has to go to Nice in Ligue 1 to take a look, but Yang Cheng wants to go further.

"After two years of operation, Nice is now on the right track. The running-in between our club and Nice has basically been completed. Next, we should free up our hands and buy another team at the right time!"

Yang Cheng's words surprised everyone present except Xia Qing.

"Buy more?" Adam Crozier didn't expect it.

Yang Cheng nodded, "And it's best to buy teams from the four major leagues, such as Serie A or La Liga."

The current market conditions for Serie A and La Liga teams are relatively poor, so it is a good time to buy them.

As for the Bundesliga, due to institutional restrictions, it is indeed not easy for outside capital to come in and acquire the company.

Moreover, it is indeed impossible to find a suitable team.

"We are now taking care of both the Chinese in Bayswater and Nice, which is actually enough. Is there a need to continue expanding?" Adam Crozier felt very puzzled.

"Of course!" Yang Cheng was very sure.

"We invest a lot of money every year in medical care, sports science, rehabilitation therapy, advanced equipment, our scouting system, player database, and even our entire business system."

"Now, what we have is a waste if we only use it on Bayswater Chinese and Nice, so we should expand further and share the cost among multiple clubs!"

“In addition, we also need to create unique advantages for us Bayswater Chinese and a moat that is difficult for others to cross!”

Yang Cheng’s ideas are different from those of Manchester City’s City Group.

The Abu Dhabi consortium's City Group started a little late and missed the best opportunity to enter the top five leagues.

But the timing of the current situation for the Chinese in Bayswater is undoubtedly very advantageous.

Of course, the best are like the Pozzo family, who own several top league clubs including Udinese, Granada and Watford. They share players with each other and their business is booming.

But in all aspects, the resources of the Pozzo family are obviously inferior to those in Yang Cheng's hands.

"Don't worry, I'm just giving you an idea and direction. You can slowly choose the right person. It's better to have nothing than to have something worse!"

Steady and cautious progress is also Yang Cheng's strategy.

In this regard, Yang Cheng will not be blind, nor will he be radical.

He is now proposing a blueprint for the future, hoping that Xia Qing, Adam Crozier and others will carefully look for a suitable club in the next few months or even a year or two.

……

On the afternoon of the second day of the Champions League, the Qatar Airways plane painted with the Bayswater Chinese team logo and star portraits arrived at London Heathrow Airport
Afterwards, the Chinese players from Bayswater boarded the bus that had been waiting there for a long time and headed to the Brent Training Center.

When the team arrived at the Brent Training Center, fans who had heard the news gathered there.

As soon as they saw the team bus, they all cheered excitedly.

Triple Crown!
Another Triple Crown!
This season's treble is more valuable than last season's.

Early this morning, media around the world were frantically reporting on the Bayswater Chinese's Triple Crown, and all agreed that it was the most valuable Triple Crown in history.

Surpassing Manchester United in the 98/99 season and Bayswater Chinese in the 08/09 season!

This is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of the achievements of the Chinese in Bayswater this season!

When the fans saw the team bus, you can imagine how excited they were.

There was even chaos at the main gate at one point, with no one able to get through.

After the bus finally entered the Brent Training Center, everyone got off and went to their respective rooms to wash and rest, and then regrouped.

When the team set out again, they did not board the team bus, but a double-decker open-top bus rented by the club with the Bayswater Chinese team logo and colors painted on the body.

At the front of the second floor of the bus, there was a banner hung with the 11/12 season printed on it, as well as images of four championship trophies, allowing everyone to see the spoils of the Chinese at Bayswater this season.

The players climbed onto the top floor of the bus, holding the Champions League they had just won, as well as the Premier League and FA Cup trophies taken out from the Hall of Fame.

When the door of the Brent Training Center slowly opened again, the fans who were still waiting outside became excited again.

This time, the police arrived at the scene early to maintain order and quickly cleared a path for the bus to reach Brent Cross.

In the past few years, since the stadium is not their own, Bayswater has been planning to build a new stadium.

So, the victory parade for the Chinese in Bayswater was almost non-existent.

But not long ago, Adam Crozier proposed that this fine tradition must be picked up again.

He suggested the team take part in a victory parade around Notting Hill and Bayswater.

Adam Crozier has been negotiating with the London City Council since the team reached the Champions League final.

It is well known to the whole world that London's roads are not wide. If they were opened to the team for the championship parade, there would definitely be traffic jams.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to open the major trunk roads.

Just like Chelsea.

The Blues’ championship parade was actually very short.

Take the west exit at Stamford Bridge, head east along Fulham Road, then south along Victory Road, turn west onto King Street, and then return to Stamford Bridge.

The whole journey is only about 2 kilometers, and it's all small roads.

This time, the London City Government promised that if the Chinese in Bayswater won the Champions League and achieved the Treble, they would be willing to let the team start from the intersection of Harrow Road and Ladbroke Grove Street in the north of Notting Hill.

Go south along Ladbroke Grove Street, through the core area of ​​Notting Hill, and when you reach the north gate of Holland Park, turn east all the way to Queen's Road Underground Station, and then turn north.

The whole journey is about 4 kilometers.

This has actually had a considerable impact on traffic in London.

After all, both roads are main roads with heavy traffic and pedestrian flow.

The London Police Department also began to prepare for the scene early, intending to use iron fences to separate the fans on both sides of the road, leaving a space in the middle large enough for a bus to pass through.

But it turned out that they had greatly underestimated the enthusiasm of the fans.

When the team's open-top bus arrived at the Ladbroke Grove intersection, the intersection was already blocked by enthusiastic fans, and even the east-west Harrow Road was filled with countless fans.

Thousands of fans cheered excitedly when they saw the bus.

This is the first time in history that the Chinese from Bayswater have held a victory parade in central London.

Enthusiastic fans had already packed both sides of Ladbroke Grove Street.

Even the apartments on both sides of the road were filled with people.

Many people even went so far as to climb up trees or traffic lights.

This group of enthusiastic fans just wanted to get a good look at their idol stars on the bus.

As the bus slowly drove by, countless fans followed behind it, and the number increased.

Their cheers were like an overwhelming tidal wave, sweeping across the entire block.

This spectacular and shocking scene also deeply moved the players on the bus. They were all dancing with excitement. Where was the fatigue from last night's Champions League final and the long journey?

Yang Cheng stood on the top floor of the bus. From what he could see, the front and back of the bus were filled with people, so densely packed that the entire street was blocked.

Moreover, as the bus approached Holland Park, more and more fans gathered and the cheers became louder and louder.

The players were on the bus, using microphones to interact with the fans on the scene.

Marcelo and others became excited and even started singing on the spot.

The first song was the team song of the Bayswater Chinese, which aroused a chorus from everyone in the audience.

The singing resounded through the sky, it was so spectacular and shocking!

After arriving at Holland Park, the bus slowly turned east and headed towards Hyde Park.

The closer you get to Hyde Park, the more fans gather.

Although there were London police and mounted police clearing the way, the road was still blocked by fans from time to time.

It took more than two hours to walk a short distance of 4 kilometers.

By the time the team bus slowly drove into Queen's Road, the entire Queen's Road was already filled with fans.

Especially the open-air plaza of Prudential Arena was surrounded by fans.

Sky Sports' live broadcast footage is shot from a high altitude.

Dense crowds of fans kept pouring in like a tide, trying to drown everything.

The bus slowly stopped at the open-air plaza of Prudential Arena.

The stage has already been set up here, and a host has been arranged.

The host arranged the first-team players to come out one by one to greet and interact with the fans at the scene.

Or put on a show.

Some are singing, some are dancing...

When it was the turn of the twin stars Gareth Bale and Walcott to play, they simply couldn't do anything.

Everyone knows that they will all represent Britain in the men's football competition at the London Olympics this year.

Also attending are Aaron Ramsey, Ryan Bertrand and Kyle Walker.

This also made this group of local players warmly welcomed by the fans.

When Gareth Bale came out, the whole stadium was filled with cheers from the fans and he couldn't even speak.

Finally, the Welshman was very emotional and expressed his gratitude to the fans for their support over the past few years.

"Tonight was the best night in all of our careers. We won the Champions League and the Treble. We proved that Bayswater Chinese are the best club in the world!"

With Gareth Bale's shouts, the whole stadium was boiling again!
The atmosphere on the scene also reached its climax!

……

After the championship parade, the team did not disband.

The Chinese in Bayswater specially held a grand celebration banquet.

Not just the players, coaches and employees, but their families as well.

Just as Yang Cheng said when he thanked the family members at the celebration banquet.

Professional football is a very special industry, and the challenges faced by practitioners are completely different from those in other industries.

For example, there are a lot of away games.

Sometimes, it even takes three days to go back and forth for an away game.

This results in many players being away from home often.

If you have consecutive away games, it is entirely possible that you can't stay at home for more than two or three nights a week.

What's more, the special schedule of the Premier League not only has no winter break, but also ushers in the most intensive Christmas schedule when all leagues are suspended.

Without the support and encouragement from their families, Yang Cheng said, players, coaches and employees simply would not be able to devote themselves to their work.

“So, here, on behalf of the club, on behalf of the team, on behalf of all of us Chinese in Bayswater, I would like to thank all the families and friends!”

"Every honor and every championship our club has won is due to the contributions of all of you!"

Yang Cheng's speech also earned him warm applause from everyone.

Afterwards, club executives such as Adam Crozer and team captains such as Modric and Jose Fonte all took the stage to give speeches.

The atmosphere of the entire celebration banquet was very warm!
……

After the celebration banquet, the team was disbanded on the spot.

Unlike the players who still had to prepare for the European Cup, Yang Cheng was liberated on the spot.

The next day, he went to sleep and slept until he woke up naturally.

But he still couldn't relax.

The next morning he went to a meeting at the club's offices in Grosvenor Square.

The topic is still the season summary and the outlook for the new season.

There is no need to say more about the summary, as Xia Qing and Adam Crozier have already reported it before.

What is really special is that Xia Qing proposed to invite PricewaterhouseCoopers regularly every year to audit the financial status of Bayswater Chinese.

This is very rare in European football.

The purpose of doing this is actually very simple, which is to let everyone see the financial situation of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Just as Xia Qing said, this is the courage that an industry leader should have.

What's more, Bayswater Chinese is now the club with the highest revenue in world football.

Last year, in order to compete for the title of the highest revenue, Real Madrid caused a lot of trouble, which aroused heated discussions among the outside media and fans, and even led to jokes.

Bayswater Chinese has won the title of the highest revenue this season, which is well deserved.

But in order to further verify it, Xia Qing believes that inviting PricewaterhouseCoopers to conduct an audit will undoubtedly enhance its authority.

Another benefit of doing so is that it can further optimize the financial system of Bayswater Chinese.

Yang Cheng deeply agreed with this.

The current Premier League actually has financial reports, which is a requirement of the Premier League.

But those who are familiar with the Premier League know that there is a lot of mystery behind these financial reports.

The funniest thing is that the American real estate tycoon Steven Rose who acquired Queens Park Rangers conducted a very detailed investigation before the acquisition.

But in the end, I still fell into the trap.

It is said that the main problem is salary.

Rumor has it that Steven Rose lost more than 1 million pounds in one year on Queens Park Rangers.

This money is just like burning.

Yang Cheng introduced modern enterprise management to the Chinese in Bayswater, so naturally all aspects had to be able to keep up and keep pace with the times.

So, he supported Xia Qing's decision.

No one else had any objections, so the matter was finalized.

Speaking of Steven Ross, David Pensel also received the latest news from the United States.

The World Football Challenge is still scheduled to go ahead, but the participating teams have not yet been selected.

This has caused very strong dissatisfaction in the United States.

Because it is already May 5th, there are only about 20 months left until the start of the competition.

The participating teams have not been determined yet, so how should the subsequent promotion, publicity and investment be carried out?
People don’t even know which teams you’ve invited to participate, so who’s willing to sponsor?

On the contrary, the Chinese side in Bayswater gave a clear schedule early on.

Bayswater Chinese were drawn into the Asian region this year, so the team will go to China for pre-season training.

All preparations have now been completed.

Going to Asia with the halo of the Triple Crown will undoubtedly create another wave in the region!
In addition, Prudential Stadium will be officially opened this summer.

As is customary in European football, the Chinese in Bayswater plan to invite the team to play a warm-up match.

After discussion, Adam Crozier, David Pensel and others finally decided that the Bayswater Chinese would face the winner of this summer's North American finals.

This is actually also a warm-up for the finals of the International Champions Cup North America and Asia after the subsequent expansion, to see what the feedback from fans and the market is.
As for the World Football Challenge, David Pensel also brought an interesting news.

Steven Rose started to warm up a year ago, especially hyping Queens Park Rangers.

Unexpectedly, the team was relegated from the Premier League this season and its record was terrible.

There was really no other way, so Steven Rose had to cancel Queens Park Rangers' trip to the United States.

This has also led to the fact that the participating teams of the World Football Challenge have not been clearly defined so far.

……

After talking about the season summary, the next thing is the outlook for the new season.

The focus is on this summer's transfer market.

"We have received at least 10 inquiries regarding player transfers."

Adam Crozier spoke out about the situation the team is currently facing.

As the team performed well, many teams outside wanted to poach the Bayswater Chinese players.

And they are basically all wealthy teams.

Yang Cheng actually knew about this situation.

Bayswater Chinese have decided to further increase their players' salaries, up to a maximum of £15.

That's really good.

But in many wealthy teams, whether it is the rich in the Premier League or the two giants in La Liga, they obviously don't take this salary too seriously, because the treatment they can offer is more generous.

Especially La Liga.

The personal income tax rate in La Liga is much lower than that in the Premier League, and this advantage is something the Premier League can never catch up with.

Especially for those top superstars.

Just like Cristiano Ronaldo.

With the same annual salary of 1000 million pounds before tax, he can get around 780 million pounds in La Liga.

But what about in the Premier League?
Only 500 million pounds can be obtained.

This means that the Premier League is indeed not as attractive as La Liga in attracting players, especially top stars.

If the Premier League giants are to offer the same salary packages as La Liga, then the Premier League clubs will have to pay higher salary costs.

But this is obviously impossible.

The overall salary package in the Premier League is already very high.

After the end of each season, many financial media have hyped up the Premier League bankruptcy theory.

The point is Premier League debt and player salaries.

Yang Cheng made it clear that he does not plan to make any big moves in the transfer market this summer.

There will be no large-scale signings, nor will there be large-scale sales.

This does not fit the current environment of the Chinese in Bayswater.

In Yang Cheng's opinion, the most important thing the team should do now is to stabilize its combat effectiveness, ensure that the team can continue to perform at a high level, put in better performance in the new season, and continue the club's outstanding record in the past few years.

This undoubtedly requires a stable team lineup.

Of course, the Chinese in Bayswater are now surrounded by wolves.

Many players with outstanding performances have attracted attention from the outside world.

From Lewandowski, Gareth Bale, to Modric, Toni Kroos, and the team's defenders.

"Our financial situation is much better now, so we don't need to rely on selling players to raise money."

"On the other hand, we need to maintain the stability of the squad and continue to consolidate our position in European football, especially as a top club among fans all over the world!"

Yang Cheng’s attitude is not to sell players or recruit new players.

But he actually knew very well that this was basically unrealistic.

For many players, what Bayswater Chinese can give is actually not that generous.

Yang Cheng’s attitude is very clear. He will never break the salary structure that the team has previously established for anyone.

If the player really wants to leave, he won't force him to stay.
