港商为何青睐英超球队? 杨嘉诚收购伯明翰的幕后
香港商人杨嘉诚日前以5000万英镑购得英超伯明翰俱乐部29.9%的股份，正式成为该俱乐部的最大股东。杨嘉诚是谁？他为什么要收购伯明翰？

0 @) T: o+ N' n4 o0 W 杨嘉诚早先做过发型师，后涉足房地产，掘得第一桶金。2004年，杨嘉诚参股澳门赌场“希腊神话娱乐场”，成为亿万富豪。杨嘉诚在香港以“球迷”著称，2005年担任澎马流浪队主席，曾请来范志毅。

收购一支英超俱乐部一直是杨嘉诚的心愿，此前他曾接触过雷丁队和谢菲尔德星期三队，但最终还是把目标锁定在有132年历史的伯明翰俱乐部身上。杨嘉诚的报价比伯明翰俱乐部目前的市值高出1000万英镑，终于战胜了竞争对手、印度“钢铁大王”米塔尔。& P' T2 N& q2 m* r0 c

杨嘉诚称购买伯明翰“纯粹是兴趣”，其实兴趣的背后是追求利润。财务报表显示，伯明翰俱乐部已经连续3年赢利，今年2月18日之前的半个“财政年度”盈利360万英镑。如今英超正走入“良性循环”，光电视转播费一项，刚刚冲超的伯明翰俱乐部就分得了6000万英镑。

' E' A O; d, J' h8 ?另一方面，英超在东南亚地区拥有大量拥趸，利用球队使自己的其他生意打开亚洲市场也是一大目的。杨嘉诚已公开表示，不排除引进中国香港球员的可能。伯明翰能否成为郑智、董方卓等中国海外球员的“避风港”，值得期待。
