Chapter 147 Annual Financial Report

Not only has the broadcast cost of the Swiss Football Super League been greatly increased, but also the broadcast cost of the Challenge Group League has also increased a lot. Now the broadcasting fee that the Challenge Group League team can be divided into more than 1 million euros per year, which makes their lives much better. You know, a few years ago, even the Swiss Super League team could not get it. That's the number.

More than 1 million euros a year, which looks inconspicuous, but in the past, it was a challenge group league club's budget for several years. You know that when Lin Fenglei first arrived at the Gosho Club, the transfer fee he could use a year was only 18,000 euros. It can be imagined that more than 1 million euros. What a great wealth Yuan is for the challenge group league team.

Among the current challenge group league clubs, only a few are professional clubs, and the vast majority of the rest are semi-professional clubs. Their players are also signed semi-professional contracts. They can only train for no more than two hours a day, and they can only train two days a week. Most players even have to find another job. I come to support my family. Moreover, their coaches and staff are also semi-professional, and it is impossible to devote all their energy to the team's training. In this case, the quality of their training is certainly not guaranteed.

Just after signing the new TV broadcast fee agreement, more than half of the challenge group league clubs announced their conversion to professional clubs and signed professional contracts with most of their club's players and coaches. In the future, their players can train all day, and the quality of training will certainly be better than before. More, this can also ensure that young players with potential can grow up quickly.

In addition, although nearly half of the clubs have not announced their conversion to professional clubs immediately, they are also preparing for professional clubs. It is expected that they will not be long before the start of next season's challenge group league, all clubs in the challenge group league will be converted into professional clubs.

Semi-professional clubs generally do not have their own youth training system. Their players come from various schools and amateur teams through amateur scouts in their clubs, and then young players eliminated by signing some professional teams. The source of such players is of course unstable. It's decided.

After turning into a professional club, they need to establish their own youth training system, so that they will have a stable source of players in the future.

This is definitely an epoch-making day in the history of Swiss football. A country's football league is like a pyramid. It is impossible to have only the teams at the top of the tower, and there must be more teams in the middle and lower parts of the pyramid to support this huge pyramid. In the past, there were too few professional football clubs in the Swiss Football League that could support the pyramid, so the football foundation was not strong enough. If so for a long time, no matter how hot the Swiss Super League is now, it will eventually become a sourceless water and a rootless tree. Sooner or later, it will decline.

Now, the number of Swiss professional football clubs has increased so much, which means that the foundation of the Swiss Super League has been greatly consolidated. In the future, young players with potential in Switzerland will rarely have regrets; and this is only the beginning. With the rise of the Swiss football boom, Swiss investment There will be more and more people playing football, and there will be more and more professional football clubs in Switzerland in the future.

Because Switzerland is a rich country, there are many large consortia in Switzerland. They are not short of money. For their enthusiasm for investing in football, they only lack one excitement point. Now they have found a point of excitement, which will definitely stimulate them to greatly increase their investment in football. In today's world In the final analysis, the world football still needs to be invested. In addition to the Gesau team, of course, the Gosau team cannot be replicated. I believe that with the increasing investment in Swiss football, the energy they can burst out is huge.

After the end of this season, Stevens, the head of the club's finance department, submitted a financial report for this season to Lin Fenglei. This season, the club's bonus income exceeded 60 million euros because Gosho won the triple crown for the third consecutive season and included the European Super Cup and the World Club Cup. Among them, the Champions League has contributed more than 40 million euros in revenue, because the bonus of the Champions League is increasing year by year, so the bonus provided by the UEFA Champions League this season has increased significantly compared with 38 million euros last season.

Ticket revenue, including the league, cup, UEFA Champions League, as well as the ticket share of the European Super Cup and the World Cup, totaling more than 50 million euros.

In terms of sponsorship fee income, because the Gosau team has won the Triple Crown for three consecutive years and includes the European Super Cup and the World Club Cup, the two sponsorship contracts between Nike and GM alone have received nearly 80 million euros, plus some other sponsorship contracts, this season's Gosho Club's The sponsorship fee revenue reached about 150 million euros.

Another income is TV broadcasting fee income. This season's TV broadcasting fee income is divided into league and UEFA Champions League. The TV broadcasting fee income of Gosho Club in these events has reached about 20 million euros.

The last piece of income is the club's sales of jerseys, souvenirs, and the share of stadium shops. As of this year, the Gosau Club has opened more than 30 fan supplies stores around the world, and it is also easy to buy Gosau's jerseys and fan supplies through the official website of the Gosau Club. With the better and better results of the Gosau team in recent years, the sales of their jerseys and souvenirs are also There has been explosive growth.

It's just a commemorative T-shirt printed after Goshao's three consecutive championships in the Champions League this season. Now more than 100,000 pieces have been sold, and the fans' buying craze has not gone away. This year, the sales of Gosho Club in jerseys and souvenirs have reached hundreds of millions of euros. Excluding various expenses, the net profit has reached about 40 million euros. And the division of stadium shops is not a small number. As the Gosho team's performance is getting better and better, the attendance rate of the wind and thunder court is getting higher and higher. In many shops, on average, each Gosho club can receive a share of tens of thousands of euros a year, and this income also reaches 7,000 to 8 million euros.

To sum up, the revenue of Gosau Club this season has exceeded 300 million euros, which is a jaw-dropping number. With its excellent results in these seasons, Gosau has become one of the most profitable clubs in European football.

However, there are several clubs in front of the Gosho team. Their income is higher than that of Gosho Club. Real Madrid ranks first in the income list. Their income is nearly 500 million euros. Barcelona ranks second. Their income reaches 450 million euros, and Manchester United ranks third. He Their income reached nearly 400 million euros, while the Gosau Club ranked fourth.

Although he has not yet entered the top three in the income list, Lin Fenglei is very satisfied with this result. After all, the background of the Gosho team is still not as good as the previous teams. Their ability to have so much income this season has been so good that they have achieved better results in these seasons. Of course, if the Gosau team can maintain good results for a few more seasons, their income will sooner or later exceed that of the previous clubs and become one of the most profitable football clubs in Europe.

The Gosho Club's expenditure this season has also exceeded 120 million euros, most of which are staff salaries and players' salaries and game bonuses, which add up to more than 60 million euros, and the other part is the club's operating expenses. Since the Goshao Club is basically Lin Fenglei's sole proprietorship club, he only gave a few shares to a few executives of the club, so many clubs have saved a large share of the dividends to the club's shareholders.

In addition, there is basically no transfer expenditure of the Gosho Club, which is also the largest expenditure of the rich club, but it is basically completely saved because of Lin Fenglei's modifier.

In this way, the net income of Gosho Club this season is nearly 200 million euros, which is a staggering number, because there are several clubs in front of Gosho Club on the income list. Although their income is higher than that of Gosho Club, their net income is completely impossible to compare with that of Gosho Club. They Their net income is basically about 20,000 to 30 million euros, because their transfer fee expenses, player salaries and shareholder dividends are much higher than those of the Gosau club.

Lin Fenglei is very satisfied with Stevens' financial report. For two or three consecutive seasons, the Gosho Club's income has been getting higher and higher every year. He has money. He doesn't have to be constrained in many places. He can also implement a lot of his own ideas in the construction of the club.

He is now more and more appreciating Smith, the head of the club's business department. He is a genius in business negotiation and business development. The club's sponsorship fee contracts are basically negotiated by him. He runs the fan supplies stores opened by Gosho Club around the world, from site selection to operation. And the way he proposed to deal with the stadium shops has now become a continuous source of income for the club. This season's score has reached seven or eight million euros. As their business gets better and better, this number will only get higher and higher in the future.

In addition, Lin Fenglei has another personal income, that is, when the Gosho Club announced the new stadium plan, some large conglomerates built several big hotels in the town of Gosho, and Lin Fenglei also took out a sum of money to participate in one share. In the last two seasons, he even bought most of the shares of a big hotel. It also brought him an income of thousands of euros, and he was also thinking about whether to take out the money to invest in other industries.
