Florence’s action seems to mean that the brothers may have good potential? Is it because it hasn’t been sent out yet that it was sold here to be tempered by the official competition?
It seems that I need to observe a pair of brothers more. If my ability is passable, I will give them more. When I come out, it is not impossible, Terry thought.
At this time, the head coach didn’t realize how big a surprise this decision would bring him …
Chapter 526 Stadium planning
Full of good hopes for the future, the Milito brothers joined Terry, and Florence finally reached a consensus with the municipal government on the acquisition of Frankie Stadium.
After careful investigation, the municipal government also realized the huge gap between this precious stadium and those of the British in their eyes, not to mention the limitation of the government’s work in terms of commercial development around the stadium, even in terms of their self-proclaimed advanced hardware facilities, they still lag behind the English.
Therefore, after the resumption of negotiations, the Florence municipal government showed some lack of confidence. Frankie Stadium was much behind the British stadiums in terms of hardware conditions and commercial development. Even if they were cheeky, they would be embarrassed to ask for another $100 million.
And this naturally gave kenyon enough bargaining.
Finally, after some difficult negotiations, the municipal government agreed to sell the 66-year-old Frankie Stadium to the Florence Club for $60 million.
For Zhuang Ge, who made a lot of money in the financial crisis that swept across Southeast Asia, this money is nothing. The financial crisis and the wealth of Zhuang Ge in previous years have reached an astronomical figure. Although it has not been specifically counted, it is conservatively estimated by Karin and Groz that it is less than 10 billion US dollars.
However, like Rothschild and Rockefeller, Zhuang Ge’s foreign title is generally the biggest shareholder of Florence Club President Adidas due to family reasons, and it is not easy for outsiders to make statistics, so few media or outsiders can know his real wealth.
Therefore, for Zhuang Ge now, it takes 60 million dollars to buy Frankie Stadium, which is really a bit of rain in Mao Mao.
In kenyon, it was suggested that Zhuang Ge take out $40 million from his pocket to purchase and renovate the land around Frankie Stadium, and prepare to turn it into a central business district of Frankie Stadium.
In kenyon’s vision, this business district will build a series of commercial facilities, including specialty stores, shops, restaurants and entertainment facilities, supermarkets, etc. Most of these stores will be leased to interested enterprises, Carrefour and Wal-Mart in the United States have already indicated that they will open a new store in this business district.
A small part of kenyon intends to build these stores into Florence theme restaurants and bars, the largest Italian Florence brand specialty store.
After the official investment in the downtown area, the fans can come here to complete the modernization and have close contact with Florence.
However, Zhuang Ge still has some worries about this. After all, the concept here is that private property is sacred and inviolable. If someone really doesn’t want to leave this area, then the so-called transformation will start.
To Zhuang Ge’s surprise, Florence residents living around Frankie Stadium expressed their full understanding of the demolition and reconstruction of the club, saying that they would agree to sell the real estate in their hands to the Florence club if the club could give them some financial compensation.
Even some Florence fans who used to shop in this area asked the club if they could move back here and let them continue to run the original industries here after the transformation was completed.
Kenyon naturally readily agreed to these reasonable demands from the fans, because doing so will not only make this business district more prosperous, but also make the Florence atmosphere in the business district more intense.
At the same time, Florence’s move will attract people’s goodwill to think that this is a club full of human feelings, not those greedy guys with money in their eyes
So in this situation, Florence systematically acquired and commercialized the surrounding area of the stadium.
The renovation of Frankie Stadium will not be official until the end of the season. After all, the new season is coming. If you want to improve the key areas such as the venue and the stands, you can’t choose it at this time. It will affect the club’s income. One of the most important reasons is to change the status of the venue rashly. Who knows if it will make your own players feel uncomfortable and lead to a series of unpredictable consequences?
Therefore, after a meeting between the three general managers, Zhuang Ge decided to carry out a large-scale renovation of the stadium department first, so as not to look at these old facilities every day and always give people a feeling of lifelessness.
In those key areas, we will wait until the end of the season in May 2008 to carry out the transformation.
By the way, the only thing not included in the renovation plan is to leave it for the visiting team to make the dressing room …
Just as the management of Florence Club was busy with the renovation of the surrounding area of Frankie Stadium, it was the Italian Super Cup Day.
Although the Italian Super Cup is said to be a strong showdown between the Serie A champions and the Italian Cup champions, everyone knows that this cup, like the English Community Shield and the Spanish Super Cup, can be regarded as a warm-up event without special circumstances.
This Super Cup in Italy obviously belongs to the "special situation" mentioned in the face. Because professional leagues are paying more and more attention to expanding overseas markets, the Super Cup was not held in Italy, but in Tokyo, the capital of Japan.
The generosity shown by Japanese companies in sponsoring teams has already been fully verified in Palma and Florence, which has made many Serie A bosses salivate over the market in the Far East. Therefore, they strongly urge professional leagues to propose to the Italian Football Association that the Italian Super Cup be held in Japan more than two months ago. The intention of professional leagues is quite obvious, that is, they hope to further enhance the influence of Italian football in Japan through this Super Cup.
Immediately after the Japanese Football Association learned the news, the Italian Football Association and professional leagues made a joint pledge that they were capable of hosting the Italian Super Cup. At the same time, the Japanese Football Association President Kawabata Saburo also said that the Japanese Football Association was willing to buy the Italian Super Cup for two million dollars.
Faced with the temptation of a huge sum of $2 million, the Italian Football Association sold the Super Cup to the Japanese without hesitation.
Chapter 527 Italian Super Cup (1)
Florence has no problem with the Italian Football Association’s choice to hold the Italian Super Cup in another place. They have long been used to playing games all over the world. Vicenza, on the other hand, is a little reluctant to do this. After all, they don’t have many fans to play in Tokyo in Japan, so it is difficult to guarantee that the stadium will not become the home of Florence, which is obviously unfavorable for Guidolin’s plan to win the championship.
However, within a few days, Vicenza changed its main meaning and solemnly said that it is better to expand the overseas market of Italian football. What is a championship trophy? An Italian football is a contribution to Vicenza’s football career … Anyway, it sounds disgusting.
In fact, the reason why Vicenza people changed their attitude was simple, that is, the Japanese financial interests moved them.
In order to prove to people that they can successfully hold such a high-level competition, the Japanese Football Association paid a lot of money to the two clubs. They not only promised to pay Florence and Vicenza one million dollars each to participate in the competition, but also said that the ticket income of the second finals would be owned by the participating teams and divided equally between the two clubs.
Faced with such favorable conditions, the Vicenza Club is very critical of flying halfway around the world before the season, and its attitude immediately took a 100-degree turn, indicating that it will definitely participate in the Super Cup in Tokyo on time.
Florence naturally has no objection. Anyway, they will come here to play the Toyota Cup in six months, so it will be considered as a pre-adaptation venue …
Because Florence had finished winning the Italian Super Cup three times in a row before, except for a few people such as Zerroberto and Cruz, others didn’t have much desire for this chicken-ribbed championship trophy. Therefore, the players who held the final in Japan were more interested in pre-season warm-up to find a formal competition. After all, a mere Italian Super Cup could not hold their appetite for Florence players with full honors.
At 5 o’clock on the evening of July 17, although there is still one hour before the Italian Super Cup final, the Tokyo National Arena, which can accommodate 60 thousand fans, is already full.
However, something happened in the stadium that embarrassed Vicenza, that is, almost all the fans present entered the stadium in Florence purple jerseys, which made all the stands dyed purple. I don’t know if this might be the home of Florence.
