A few years ago, no one would have imagined that the Inter Milan club would return to the top under the leadership of Suning. In an Italian Super Cup final two days ago, Inter beat Napoli 1-0 to win the title, with Lautaro netting the only goal in stoppage time. This is the third consecutive time that Inter Milan has won the Italian Super Cup, and it is also the sixth championship trophy led by Inter Milan after Inter President Zhang Kangyang took office. This time, Inter Milan won a bonus of 8 million euros, and Zhang Kangyang will also spend 1.5 million euros to reward the whole team!
Zhang Kangyang is also really generous, and he took out 1.5 million euros to reward the whole team at once, which really has the style of Xu Jiayin back then, but the reason why Xu Jiayin spent a lot of money on football back then was because Evergrande had not yet thundered, and Zhang Kangyang had been collected by the world, so it was not good to have this money to pay off his debts? In 2018, in order to let Suning Store successfully tide over the difficulties, Prince Zhang chose to lend 255 million US dollars to CCB to solve the current problem.
At that time, he also made it clear to the bank that as long as he successfully survived this difficulty and the funds could resume turnover, he would definitely repay the loan. Obviously, Zhang Kangyang has not fulfilled the conditions promised at that time, and CCB has waited for a long time to no avail, so he can only choose to collect debts from Zhang Kangyang to warn him to repay the arrears in time, but Zhang Kangyang firmly denies that he has borrowed money from CCB. Regarding the agreement signed when borrowing money, Zhang Kangyang also said that this paper agreement was forged by CCB itself and had no practical significance, so since it was a fake agreement, he did not need to fulfill his promise.
With the support of these true and effective evidence, the court sentenced Zhang Kangyang to assume his responsibility as soon as possible and return the promised arrears and corresponding interest totaling 2 billion yuan. But Zhang Kangyang was dissatisfied with the verdict and did not repay the debt after that. However, now it is not that Zhang Kangyang does not want to repay this arrears, but that he has no money to repay this arrears at all. The reason why the whole team dared to come up with 15 billion euros to reward the whole team is because Inter won the championship and got 8 million euros in bonuses.
Today's Suning has lost 60 billion yuan in 8 years, and the significant closure of stores has not solved Carrefour's loss problem, and the financial report shows that in the first half of 2023, Carrefour China's net profit loss attributable to the parent company is still as high as 1.29 billion yuan. At the same time, the shopping card turmoil and supplier arrears caused by the rapid wave of store closures continue to plague Suning. Online competition has long spread to offline, and physical stores such as Jingdong Home Appliances and Tmall Youpin continue to encroach on Suning's territory in large and medium-sized cities and even third- and fourth-tier cities.
The reason why Inter Milan has achieved such good results is inseparable from Suning's continuous investment. When Suning was rich, it invested 6.7 billion euros in Inter in 5 years, and although Inter Milan has won a lot of honors, it has always been a "gold swallowing beast", in the 2020-21 season, Inter lost 245.6 million euros, and in the 2021-22 season, Inter lost 140 million euros. The loss of 140 million euros is still in the case of the sale of Lukaku for 113 million euros and the sale of Achraf for 68 million euros. Therefore, Inter's loss in the 2022-23 season fell to 85 million euros, which is a very good report card and proves that the club's situation is gradually improving. But the best result is still a loss. No matter how much money you have, you can't afford such a loss, not to mention that Suning, the financier behind it, will no longer invest. Not only do Inter not have much money, but they also have to repay a huge debt of $350 million in May this year.
I finally understood why Zhang Kangyang would rather spend 1.5 million euros to reward the whole team than repay his debts! What do you think of this matter? Everyone is welcome to discuss with each other in the message area.
