Super Storm

"Do you feel uncomfortable?"

When Yang Yang heard Wen Houzhong's joking inquiry, he immediately turned around.

I do n’t know when, beside him, there is a middle-aged man in his 50s or 60s. He is also wearing a dark suit and his hair is neatly combed, but he is short in height and slightly middle-aged. , The image does not feel tall.

Wearing a pair of swann glasses, with a kind smile on the face when the elders looked at the juniors, it made people feel cordial.

Yang Yang recognized it all at once, which is not ...

"Mr. Perez?" Yang Yang was surprised.

The President of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez!

Obedient, this is a character that only exists in media reports. Although it is said that he has been under tremendous pressure recently, there are many rumors about his resignation, but he is the helm of Real Madrid in the past six years.

With Real Madrid's position and influence in world football, plus Florentino's wrist and ability, his influence in the professional football world is really amazing.

"Call me Florentino, Yang." Florentino smiled and handed out the glass with red wine in his right hand. "I like my friend to call me by my name."

Yang Yang only noticed at this time that he was walking towards himself with a glass of wine in one hand.

"Thank you, Florentino." Yang Yang also recovered his calm.

For him, surprise is a sudden matter.

He has now seen the world, and has already passed the rookie stage that year.

Florentino seemed interested in him, and invited him to chat in a place where no one was there.

Standing at the entrance is indeed a bit too conspicuous, especially in the current popular situation like Yang Yang. God knows when media reporters will report it.

Of course, a situation similar to them is not uncommon in the Opera House, because this is a show and a party, and everyone is standing in groups and chatting together, there is no such kind of arrogance on the court. Opposite atmosphere.

If you really want to spread gossip, then it is everywhere.

"To be frank, I am not used to this kind of occasion. I once considered not participating." Yang Yang smiled bitterly.

"No, no," Florentino shook his head. "You should come, not only this year, but also to come every year in the future. This is like a certification. Do you understand what I mean? When you get out of the car Come down, walk across the red carpet, and walk into the Opera House, you are still the same you, but in the eyes of fans all over the world, you have changed. "

Yang Yang nodded, pondering his meaning vaguely.

Sometimes, some players have similar strengths, and even the roles they play in their respective clubs do not have much difference in their achievements, but it feels like they are two different levels of players.

This is a very complicated assessment. The information that media reporters and fans can receive comes from all sides, but this FIFA determination is relatively the most important basis.

Top 30, Top 10, Top 5, Top 3 ...

But if it is just a shortlist, it is not enough, so it needs such a show, a grand event that attracts worldwide attention.

Simultaneous live broadcasting from more than 160 countries, from the red carpet just now to the next performance and award ceremony.

Yang Yang can imagine that the scene on his red carpet will be broadcast live to every corner of the world. Tomorrow, major media newspapers and fashion entertainment magazines in the world may post photos of him on the red carpet.

This will allow fans all over the world to remember him firmly, but also recognize his new identity, first-line star.

Yang Yang now understands a little bit, why teammates are so envious when he is invited, and every year a lot of people come to take the initiative to rub the red carpet, and many entertainers in the entertainment industry will rub the red carpet of various film festivals.

To put it bluntly, it is for this purpose.

Seeing Yang Yang's gains, Florentino's eyes flashed a look of admiration.

He heard that Yang Yang is a top student at the Rotterdam School of Management, a world-renowned school of business administration, which is obviously not fake.

"You know, professional football is now completely different from the past. Before the earliest days, players only needed to care about playing well, but then with commercial sponsorship, the situation was different. Then there was live TV, and now more With the Internet ... the times are constantly changing and professional football is constantly advancing with the times. "

Yang Yang nodded again and again, very much in recognition of the Real Madrid chairman's judgment, and indeed it is.

"Do you know our Real Madrid?" Florentino asked.

"Of course, Florentino, the greatest club of the twentieth century." Yang Yang nodded.

"That represents the past, boy, we are trying to be the greatest club of the 21st century."

In a word, Yang Yang saw a strong ambition from Florentino.

"Actually, many people have misunderstandings about our Real Madrid. Even, they have misunderstandings about professional football."

Yang Yang frowned and shook his head: "I don't particularly understand."

"There are a lot of discussions and criticisms about us outside, even unprovoked accusations and shelling. They will think that we are too addicted to superstars, blindly focusing on business returns and economic benefits, and seriously neglecting the competitive level."

Yang Yang did not expect that Florentino would talk about this with himself.

"But they are all wrong and very wrong."

"Oh?"

"When I was four years old, my father took me into the stadium and let me watch the Real Madrid game. Since then, everything in Real Madrid has never been separated from my life. I have seen so many Great stars, such as Di Stefano, Gento and so on, they were the best stars in the world at that time. "

"Mr. Bernabeu is a great chairman. He has reached the pinnacle in the history of Real Madrid. He gave Real Madrid the best player in the world. This is the surface that everyone sees, but in fact? How can Real Madrid pay? What about the transfer fees and salaries of the best players? "

For the first time Yang Yang heard someone talk to him about the club's operation and history in such a straightforward manner, he was very interested.

Especially the giants like Real Madrid.

"The core revenue of the club at the time was the tickets. So the great Bernabeu Chairman built the current Bernabeu Stadium. At that time, the best stadium in the world. With this stadium, Real Madrid has the highest ticket revenue. So we have top stars such as Di Stefano, Gento, Puskas and Kopa. "

Speaking of which, Florentino told Yang Yang very positively, "Remember, children, in the world of professional football, economy and competition are mutually apparent. The success of any club is a combination of economy and competition. Results. "

"When Zidane came to Real Madrid at a high price, our sponsorship fee increased tenfold. Some people said that this is a high-input, high-risk and high-output process, but our case was included in the Harvard Business School. In the research course, 150 business schools around the world are studying Real Madrid ’s model, including the Rotterdam School of Management you are currently studying in. ”

Although Yang Yang was enrolled in the Rotterdam School of Management, he did not actually go to class. This was also approved by the school, but it should be right to hear Florentino so sure.

"You are studying business administration, and you must be very clear that if a company's cash flow is very abundant, it means that the company is operating well, and in the field of professional football, the players are the cash flow of this club."

Yang Yang now understands what Florentino means, "but the players are obviously more complicated and changeable than money."

Florentino nodded again in appreciation: "That's right, this is the problem we are facing at Real Madrid now."

"We have some problems internally, but our club is still the best. We have the most attractive image in the world. We never criticize referees, players and coaches casually. Good competition and cooperation. "

"Here, we have a complete set of programs that can train our players to be the most outstanding top stars in the world. At the same time, we can also provide a broader platform for the best and best players to wear us. Real Madrid ’s jersey goes to the game. "

"All media reporters and fans around the world believe that only the best players can play in Real Madrid."

Florentino didn't speak fast, and his tone was always gentle, making Yang Yang feel comfortable.

Although it was only the first time to meet, Florentino impressed him very much.

This is definitely not the one reported by the outside media, who only knows how to make money but has no knowledge of football.

On the contrary, he knows professional football very well, maybe even better than everyone else.

It may be precisely because he understands the nature of professional football so much that many things he does are not understood and recognized by ordinary people.

"There was a problem with our Galaxy battleship, and our locker room lacked a benign competition mechanism, which caused a problem with the cash flow of our company. Neo, and we will try our best to bring you in next summer. "

"Me?" Yang Yang was somewhat flattered, and his heartbeat accelerated.

The chairman of Real Madrid told him personally that he would do his best to introduce him?

"Yes, everyone including me and Real Madrid believe that in the next ten years, you and Robinho are the best candidates to represent Real Madrid on the football field, especially you!"

"You are our future!"

Yang Yang was at a loss, because he didn't know what reaction he should give.

That's Real Madrid!

Even if it was like Van der Vaart and Escud, in the summer of 2004, when they heard that Real Madrid was going to buy them, they could hardly bear any refusal, and they agreed without hesitation.

Who can refuse Real Madrid?

The answer is no!

Even top stars like Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham and Irving couldn't refuse.

Yang Yang asked himself, he could not refuse this temptation.

Especially when Florentino personally told him that he will be the most important player for Real Madrid in the next ten years.
