The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 430 Player Database

Ye Qiu doesn't want to be paid more attention to himself. He doesn't want everyone to focus on his dual identities as the largest shareholder of the brokerage company. He wants everyone to focus on his Tottenham Hotspur owner and head coach. identity of.

But he is very clear that the old model will be broken sooner or later. Since Italy took the lead in breaking this model a few years later, now, he feels that he should break it with his own hands and further develop it.

Eliza is very typhoon. Not to mention her beauty, she dresses elegantly, behaves calmly, and has a pleasant voice. Standing on the main podium, she is graceful and graceful, matching her words and deeds. She doesn't look like a woman who is about to go to school, but more like a young girl full of vigor.

And it is precisely because of her innocence with a touch of maturity that she is extraordinarily charming.

"What I want to say is that this is not a unique restriction of our brokerage company. It is an open platform. I can even say that in the future we will gradually transform and engage in more peripheral industries such as business development and advertising sponsorship. , Gradually get out of the player transfer market."

This is a difference between high-end and low-end. Player transfer has always been a low-end industry and it is hard work, but business development and advertising sponsorship are high-end and high-value-added sports industries, especially for a professional player. Packaging and operation, it is simply a lucrative business.

When Ye Qiu started working with Eliza Moon, they decided to take the high-end route. So over the years, the agency company has developed very rapidly, but the number of players signed is not many, basically concentrated in the The highest level, or the players coached by Ye Qiu, the rest are basically not signed.

This also makes the brokerage company less competitive with its peers from the very beginning, and at the same time allows the company to focus more on high-end businesses such as business development and advertising sponsorship. Now among all the brokerage companies in the world, they are The most professional and powerful operation of a player's business development and image packaging.

As for Ye Qiu and Elisa, since they want to take the high-end route, they have to put themselves in a neutral position and abandon some low-end, low-value-added businesses, so that others will be willing to cooperate with you.

Just like the mobile phone of Leaf Technology, Ye Qiu positioned the highest end from the beginning, and then released the low-end market to other mobile phone manufacturers. Ye Qiu even thought, if one day the Zeus mobile phone can't be sold. , He will consider putting it away and specializing in the research and development of high-end mobile phone systems, mobile phone hardware and applications, so that he can become an innovative company like Microsoft.

"We have created an open platform, which is the largest and most complete player database in the world. We currently have more than [-] full-time game videos in it, and we will continue to increase [-] copies every week. We have more than three Ten professional analysts analyze and integrate these game videos and data to serve all football clubs around the world!"

Many teams have their own player databases, such as Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. More modern scouting systems have such databases, but they must not be so large and complete.

But the database is only a part of it, and the key lies in user experience and application convenience.

In addition to the large and complete data, the brokerage company’s scouting database also has many innovations. With Eliza Moon’s presentations, they were all presented to everyone on the scene. full of surprise.

For example, the database can allow scouts to edit all the actions with and without the ball in a certain game of a certain player, and even make an independent video for downloading, which can make the scout’s investigation more convenient. More targeted, and easier and more convenient.

In addition, everyone can access this platform through PCs, notebooks, mobile phones and other terminals, because PCs and notebooks will have special software programs, while mobile phones have special APP applications, and they can even use their mobile phones to shoot players Upload the video to the platform.

Of course, in order to serve every customer, you can choose to keep it secret or choose to make it public.

All agents can also use this method to upload their own players' videos and videos, and through the public method, the whole world can watch their own players' game videos and videos at the same time, and the platform allows agents to upload for each player Create files, improve information, and set up various tags at the same time, such as the advantages and disadvantages of your own players, some rigid requirements of your players for transfers, or some hopes and messages, and so on.

Not only that, the platform also has a dedicated community forum service, which allows everyone to communicate openly and privately on the forum, and even allows player agents and teams to distribute player transfer information on it.

For example, my players can choose to post on the forum if they want to transfer, what kind of team they want to go to, what kind of salary they want to get and the positioning of the team, etc. Strictly examined.

For example, the staff of the team have to provide their employment reports, and the agents have to submit their own agent certificates, and then some commercial users will be introduced one after another, such as some sponsors, some industrial developers, and so on.

Of course, sponsors and industry developers will definitely not be allowed to enter some secret sections such as transfers. This forum will ensure absolute privacy, and even the forum will set up different private sections according to the player's agent and the level of the team. , not to mention opening private chat.

And the annual fee for each user is [-] euros, but it will not take a cut from player transfers and commercial sponsorships!

From this point of view, everyone can rest assured that there is no need to worry about leaks, because it will be difficult for reporters and fans to enter it, and it can also ensure that privacy is not leaked to the greatest extent, and at the same time, part of the benefits will be divided.

As Eliza was on the stage in less than 10 minutes, she kept showing the various comprehensive services and facilities of the platform, especially some humanized designs, such as player selection can be based on Age, EU status, location, etc., are used to screen and select various aspects.

"It's not just this platform, every year in the future, we will hold two forums similar to this, which will be arranged in the last few days of summer transfer and winter break transfer, and starting from next season, we will open it one after another Teams from leagues such as La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue [-] entered the forum, which will eventually transform the forum into a global football economic forum!"

At the end of her speech, Eliza Moon uttered this ambitious goal and expectation, which also shocked and amazed everyone present, because if she really gets to that point, it will definitely completely revolutionize all existing transfer mode.

Ferguson, Wenger and the others sat in the first row, sitting with Ye Qiu, none of them thought that what Ye Qiu launched would be such a big deal. transfer and football market landscape.

If this platform is really implemented, the flow of players in the future will become more convenient and efficient than it is now.

Thinking of this, Ferguson couldn't help but think of Platini's admiration for Ye Qiu a few days ago. Now that he thinks about it, Platini obviously knows the thoughts and ideas of Ye Qiu and Eliza Moon, so he will allow it this time. Secretary-General David Taylor came to the scene to show that this initiative has been affirmed and supported by UEFA.

"Your generosity is really big enough!" Sitting aside, Wenger said to Ye Qiu with a wry smile.

His team has been full of games for so many years, and has accumulated data collection of nearly ten thousand players, with less than one-tenth of the video recordings. But now Ye Qiu has [-] video recordings of the entire game, and they are from all over the world. In this way, the videos of the players will definitely be more and more comprehensive, which is really terrifying.

Data is king, and everyone knows that the more data a platform like this collects, the more attractive it is.

Ye Qiu smiled, but he was thinking in his heart that the scouting system of the Dutch team has accumulated over the years, which cannot be surpassed by other league teams in a short period of time, especially for teams like Ajax. , Eindhoven, Feyenoord, their collection of players from all over the world is amazing.

Of course, [-] is just the beginning, and more will be collected in the future, but at that time, it will have to be completed by agents and part-time scouts all over the world. After all, one person, or even a group of people, can never match The general public.

"I'm very surprised, since there is such a platform, why do you need a forum?" Ferguson frowned and asked.

Ye Qiu smiled, "A platform is a platform, and a forum is a forum. In the future, the forum will be held in the last few days of the transfer market. The purpose is to attract those teams that are still hesitant and provide them with a chance to meet the player's agent face to face. , or the opponent's club officials, face-to-face communication, an opportunity to gain trust."

"Maybe, before they met, they had already talked about it, but for the sake of safety, they decided to find an opportunity to meet, and the forum provided them with such an opportunity. Of course, there are other benefits, such as the major football associations. Even the Registrar's Office of UEFA will be sitting at the forum."

After hearing this, Ferguson couldn't help nodding, and asked with a smile: "Let me be honest, how many customers do you have now?"

Ye Qiu chuckled and shook his head, "This is a secret!"

When Ferguson and Wenger heard this, they immediately laughed and cursed, even playing mysteriously.

Benitez on the side said unexpectedly, "It seems that several teams in La Liga have joined."

When Fatty Bei said this, Ye Qiu couldn't deny it, and nodded with a smile, "That's why we are so confident that we will join La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue [-], and even Eredivisie and Portuguese Super League next year. Completing the celebrations of the major European leagues."

When talking about this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but said again: "Actually, I don't know if you have noticed, maybe you haven't noticed, that is, the salaries of the players are increasing, the salaries of the head coach are increasing, the coaching staff and even the positions of many clubs are increasing. Employee salaries are going up, but our scouts' salaries don't seem to have gone up in years."

According to a detailed market collection report obtained by Ye Qiu, in the four professional league clubs in England, the average salary of scouts basically adopts the principle of distribution according to work, that is to say, every time you submit a player inspection You only get a fee when you report, and the average is £[-].

Of course, scouts can get a monthly salary from the club every month, but this salary is so low that even you can’t believe it, and you can’t even support yourself, let alone your family, so you just I have to find another job with a better salary to support myself, so most of the scouts are part-time jobs.

The reason why Sevilla can keep introducing so many high-quality and cheap stars is that they have [-] scouts outside, but all of them are part-time, and each scout submits a player The analysis report can get a salary ranging from four to ten euros depending on the report, and their basic salary is almost negligible.

Therefore, for Sevilla, it is not difficult at all to support these scouts.

There is another kind of scouts who specialize in tactical inspections. They are called tactical scouts, which means inspecting opponents. This is done by watching the game, so they can get the ticket fee when they submit the game report and analysis. As well as reimbursement for some appropriate travel expenses, but the inspection fee for each game, in the Premier League, is also an average of four pounds.

But if you simply look at it this way, you may think that tactical scouts are obviously much more profitable than player scouts, but the problem is that after tactical scouts observe the game, they must write a game analysis report. To prevent scouts from cheating, there are requirements for the length of the game analysis report, at least ten pages of A4 paper, and the maximum even requires twenty pages.

In the current scouting system established by Tottenham Hotspur, there are less than ten real full-time players, including Peter Dewissel. The other nine full-time scouts are either in charge of the Theobald training base. Analysis and collection are either distributed around the world, specializing in a certain area, developing the club's scout network and system, and of course attracting some part-time scouts to work for the club.

Next, according to Ye Qiu and Elisa's idea, the platform will also absorb this huge crowd of scouts, and expand and improve the platform's player database in the shortest possible time. A brand new opportunity to change this traditional interest and work model between them and the club.

Ye Qiu even asked Elisa to contact Sky TV to see if the other party was willing to sell OPTA data company.

After being acquired by Sky TV, this data company has gradually expanded in scale, but it does not have many employees, only dozens of people, and the company is not large in scale, but it is already a very authoritative banner in football data. Now it only relies on sales every year. The data can obtain tens of millions of euros in turnover, but the overall market value will not be too high, and the acquisition is not difficult, but it is a very necessary supplement to the scout data platform. After all, the concept of the platform is that data is king. The authoritative data of OPTA is undoubtedly necessary.

After Elisa Moon finished introducing the features and services of the player database platform, the football economic forum officially started, but don’t imagine that this will be an orderly venue, because you will definitely feel disappointment.

Although everyone who entered the venue wore well-fitting suits and a well-chosen tie, they looked polite, but after the forum started operating, you would find that all of them went to the forum regardless of their image. Forward.

Because this year's forum attracts teams from the four levels of England, and among them, the most eye-catching ones are undoubtedly the [-] Premier League teams, so the Premier League teams, especially the top-ranked Premier League teams The teams have attracted the most patronage of independent agents, and they all want to recommend their players to these clubs.

For a while, the areas where these clubs are located were overcrowded and overwhelmed. Judging from the number of people present, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur attracted the most independent agents, while Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton, etc. The team is close behind, and the rest are similar, and even many Championship teams are quite popular.

For these clubs, they actually have nothing to lose. Participating in such a forum allows them to obtain the data of many players submitted by agents, and it is also a platform for them to present themselves to all teams and agents.

Seeing such a lively and chaotic scene, Ye Qiu and the others laughed wryly.

"Perhaps, you will be interested in VIP!" Ye Qiu smiled and recommended an independent area next door.

The so-called VIPs are actually some big-name agents. For example, the agent company of Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes arranged for a vice president to come to the scene and prepare to recommend their players to some potential clients. Brazil's Juan Figel, he also specially arranged for his son and an executive to come to the venue.

Even the brokerage company of Ferguson's son came, but they didn't know the specific content and projects beforehand.

After hearing this, Ferguson seemed to be really moved. He walked over with a smile, ready to see and see, and meet a few people by the way. After all, he has been in the football circle for many years, and there are still many familiar agents. Along the way Naturally, there will be some independent agents who will stuff some player information and reports into Ferguson's hands.

The Scots seemed to be quite happy too, and they followed suit with a smile.

Seeing that Ferguson was gone, Wenger and Benitez also left one after another. Mourinho glanced at Ye Qiu with some envy and hatred, and then turned towards the VIP where Jorge Mendes was. Even if he didn't want to go to the box, he had to admit that he was indeed not as good as Ye Qiu in terms of innovation.

Ye Qiu wasn't too surprised by the chaos at the scene, because this was a rare opportunity for independent agents, and why didn't they hurry up and recommend their own players to football clubs?
Don't think that only big teams attract the attention of agents. On the contrary, as long as you know how to operate, small teams often have many advantages that big teams don't have, and even small teams have more opportunities.

Ye Qiu had a premonition that this year's Football Economics Forum would not end up with too many deals, and if there were no accidents, they should all be small teams. It is an important process and stage to gradually build this kind of football economic forum into a brand.

Ye Qiu himself doesn't have any needs for players. At present, Tottenham Hotspur's various fronts are very reasonable. For the time being, he has no needs.

But he didn't have such an idea, but it didn't mean that no one would take the initiative to find him.

In fact, an independent agent soon came to the door, and he came to recommend his own players!
