Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 279

From A to Chinese Super League, how many disgusting things have happened in Chinese football?From Wanda to Quanxing, how many big bosses have gone away in anger!The water here is too deep, and Li Lei really doesn't want to get involved, but this is an invitation from Xing Shuwang. Whether it's public or private, Li Lei can't refuse it directly, so he can only ask tentatively, "Why? What is me?"

"Since it is a professional league, it must cost money! It must be sponsored by enterprises! Our province is a large agricultural province with plenty of food, but there are not many enterprises that do well! State-owned enterprises are now Busy with reforms, there are not many private enterprises that can support a football team, and after much deliberation, you are the only ones who can benefit farmers!" Xing Shuwang gave Li Lei an inventory of the situation of some major enterprises in the Central Plains Province with his fingers, and most of them were not suitable.

Taking stock of the [-] football teams at the beginning of the A-League next year, except for the Bayi team, which is in a special situation, the other teams are all cooperating with companies, and the nature of the companies can be divided into three categories. The Jilin Samsung team is the most special. It is the only football team sponsored by a foreign company, named after South Korea's Samsung Group, and later changed to Yanbian Hyundai, and the boss behind it was replaced by Hyundai Group.

The second category is sponsorship by state-owned or state-holding companies, such as Shanghai Shenhua, Sichuan Quanxing, Shandong Taishan, BJ Guoan, and Shenyang Liuyao.

The third category is sponsored by private companies. Dalian Wanda, Guangzhou Sun God, Guangdong Hongyuan, Liaoning Far East, and Jiangsu Maite are all well-known local private leaders, either because they like football or want to make a name for themselves. Participated in this grand event, but unfortunately none of them could stay in the end.

"Is this also a good opportunity to help your company expand its influence! When it becomes professionalized, the stage will broadcast live, which is tantamount to advertising for free! And purely from the perspective of running a club, this should also be a way to make money. Now there are so many people who like to watch football games, selling tickets, selling on-site advertisements, etc., can these be profitable!" Xing Shuwang has done a lot of homework, and he speaks logically.

Li Lei was speechless. Xing Shuwang thought this matter too simply. There are so many football companies in the future, and there is only one that can make money from football. Most of them are for advertising, and the effect of advertising seems to be not as good as As good as they imagined.

So he subconsciously wanted to refuse, "Using football teams to advertise is indeed a good idea, but my Huinong is mainly engaged in business in the agricultural field, and this group does not coincide with the fan group that is mainly urban residents, so From this point of view, Huinong’s investment in the football field does not make much sense; as for the hope of making money from clubs, there is even less hope. In the top leagues of major European football powers, there are not many clubs that can be responsible for their own profits and losses, let alone We are just getting started!"

"I've also thought about what you said. Huinong Group is really not suitable for football! But with so many subsidiaries under your group company, there must be a suitable one? For example, Panpan Food Factory seems to me very suitable. It costs so much money to advertise ham sausages and instant noodles, these advertising expenses are more than enough to support a football team!" Xing Shuwang continued to persuade.

I have to admit that what he said is very reasonable. The fan group and the consumer group of Panpan Food have a high degree of overlap. From this perspective, it is more appropriate for Panpan Food Factory to operate the football team than Huinong Group. It can indeed enhance reputation and promote product sales.

"The province will not allow you to support such a big stand alone. As long as you agree, the province will directly transfer the Central Plains provincial team to you. We will start directly from the A-B league. If you play well, you can enter the A-A You are free to choose good seedlings from sports schools in the province, and you will also be granted a piece of land for training bases, player dormitories, etc. If you want a loan, the province will also provide you with convenience!"

How were the twelve teams of League A determined at the beginning?This goes back to 1987. In that year, the Chinese Football Association divided the National Football League into two groups, namely, Group A and Group B. At that time, there were eight teams in A. , except for the championship in the first year which was won by the second national team, the rest of the championships were all won by the Liaoning team.

Now that the official professional league is being prepared, eight teams are a bit short, so in addition to retaining all the teams in League A, they also selected a few top-ranked teams in League B, making up twelve teams. The team; the team in Central Plains Province had mediocre results and failed to become the founding team of League A, so they could only start from League B.

It seems that it’s okay not to agree. Now the whole country is very optimistic about the upcoming professional league. From the current point of view, the team does have a future; I don't believe it, and Song Weiyang can run a team, why can't I?

But before agreeing, Li Lei still has a few requests, "It's not impossible to let Panpan run the team, but I have a few requests. If the province can agree, I will start preparing when I go back! If I don't agree, then I will I can only say sorry!"

"Well, tell me! As long as it is a reasonable request, the province will definitely not refuse!" Seeing Li Lei's willingness to agree, Xing Shuwang can be regarded as letting go of a stone. If other provinces have professional teams, the Central Plains Province does not have one. It's not good looking either.

Therefore, the football team must still be established. If Li Lei refuses to agree, he can only find other companies. Those companies may not have such strong financial strength as Panpan; as long as he is willing, the conditions can be negotiated.

"First of all, the province can't put pressure on me. It can't say that I must go to A-A next year, and I must win the championship in a few years!" Li Lei is very clear that if he wants to win the A-League, it is not just about his own strength. Yes, if you play well, people can also bribe the referee to blow the whistle and bribe the opponent to play match-fixing. How do you play with them?

Xing Shuwang frowned slightly. Since he wanted to build a team, he naturally hoped that the results would get better and better. Li Lei first raised this point, which he didn't understand.

"The football foundation of our Central Plains Province is not as good as that of strong provinces like Liaodong and Guangdong, and it is not as attractive to players as big cities like Shanghai and BJ! Moreover, no one can say what the result will be in sports competitions, so I We can only try our best to ensure that the players play hard, as to whether they can win the championship is hard to say!" Li Lei explained.

These are all objective facts, and Xing Shuwang couldn't help it. He nodded reluctantly, "I'll do work for them, but we don't need to ask for grades, but you have to perform well, right? You can't always play in A and B, let alone Dropped to the Second Division!"

"Of course, I also hope that the advertising effect will be better!" This request will be much easier if they agree, as long as they don't force themselves to win the championship, they won't be involved in match-fixing, black calls and other disgusting things , and then Li Lei added a few small requirements, such as cooperating with famous schools in Zhongzhou, inviting teachers from these schools to teach the children in the echelon, and so on.

These Xing Shuwang agreed very readily, "The chance of athletes becoming successful is too low. It is a good thing to leave an extra path for these children. I definitely support it."

A few days later, Li Lei formally signed an agreement with the province on behalf of Panpan Foods, won the provincial team and renamed it the Central Plains Panpan team, and the province also generously approved a large team in the suburb of Zhongzhou near Heyang. A piece of land is used to build a training base. This piece of land is enough to build several football fields.

Before the training base was repaired, I temporarily rented the stadium of Zhongyuan University for training, and lived in the dormitory of the previous provincial team. Heard bad news.

Li Lei said something to him before his appointment, "Others want to win the championship when they run a team, and they want to advertise well! I also want the effect of advertising, but I want to be a clean person! We Panpan are in food, If you engage in crooked ways, even if you can improve your grades in a short period of time, it won't be worth it if you lose your reputation!"

"So others bribe referees to play black whistle and bribe opponents to play match-fixing. We will never do such things! Even if we lose the championship because of this, it doesn't matter! As for the team, if anyone dares to cheat, I will send him directly. Go in! He charges 20, and I will pay 200 million to buy clues and evidence! If you can't stand this constraint, you can leave, and you have to be an honest person with me!"

"The same is true for the youth team. I don't ask them to win many championships, so there must be no such thing as false reporting of age. Every time I enter, I have to measure the bone age. I have already asked someone to contact me. I will try to hire a few youth trainees from Europe. Experts come here, and then collect good seedlings across the country." Today's youth training seems to be better in the Netherlands and France, so Li Lei arranged for Ma Tianyou to look for it. If he can dig some from Ajax or Clairefontaine It's good that people come over, Li Lei is not only planning to recruit coaches, but also nutritionists, team doctors and so on.

"Other people just got the team, the first thing they think of is not to change the coach, but to find foreign aid, to see how they can improve their results in a short period of time! I have never heard of someone with a long-term plan like you. From here It can be heard in a few words, Boss Li, you really like football and you really understand football, and I feel comfortable working under you!" The old football player named Xu Fang was very pleased.

"To tell you the truth, when we were still playing professional games, there were quite a lot of friendship games between provincial teams and referees! Back then, there were so many moths just for a little fame, and now they are playing professional leagues. , there are more interests involved, this kind of thing will only increase, but don't worry, I don't care what happens to other teams! If there is such a person in our team, you don't need to tell me, I will be the first Call the police!" Xu Fang said sincerely, in fact, he still felt that what Li Lei said was a bit exaggerated, 20 for a game of match-fixing?Absolutely impossible, who can come up with such a big hand?

At the beginning, the income of A-A players was not very high. Taking the Shenhua team as an example, Xu Genbao combined the standards of all clubs and set the average salary line for Shenhua as 1500 yuan. The salary level of the players was divided into three levels. At that time Fan Zhiyi’s monthly salary is the highest at 2500 yuan, followed by mid-range 2000 yuan and low-end 1000 yuan. As the head coach, Xu Genbao’s monthly salary is 3000 yuan, other assistant coaches are around 2000 yuan, and the winning award for the main players is 3000 yuan. , a substitute of 500 yuan.

Later, it gradually became uncontrollable. The team owner brought a box of money to the locker room to encourage those players to play well, but they didn't respond much, because they earned more if they didn't play well! It is not an exaggeration to deliberately lose a game at 20.

Where is this kind of behavior acceptable to others, but it is absolutely not allowed here with Li Lei. If you dare to charge 20 yuan, I will dare to spend 200 million yuan to buy evidence and beat you to death!At that time, as soon as it is advertised in the newspaper, the positive image of Panpan Food will be erected, which is better than the advertising effect of winning the championship.

"What do you think about the coach? There are also foreign aids. This has to be done quickly. Ever since I heard that foreign aids can be hired, various clubs have been busy. Some went to Brazil, some went to Russia, looking for suitable foreign aids everywhere. If you don't look for it, you will definitely suffer in future matches." Xu Fang asked.

I went to Brazil because it is the kingdom of football, and the players are cheap and plentiful. I went to Russia because I just ran into big trouble there, and I can find good foreign players for not much money. The kind of arrogance to spend a lot of money in the future.

"Let's find a domestic coach to take the lead. It's still the request just now. Be a decent person and don't engage in those crooked ways. Let's see if there is a suitable foreign coach in the future!" Li Lei is more inclined to invite the South African team and Japan Troussier, the French coach of the World Cup team, is very good at training young players, but he doesn't know where Troussier is right now, so he can only let domestic coaches take the lead.

As for foreign aid Li Lei, he also has his own plans. His criteria for finding foreign aid are different from those of other teams. Strength is one aspect, but what is more important is professionalism. I hope these foreign aids can teach other players in the team a good lesson and tell them what is real. What a professional player should look like.

In the future, Shenhua's foreign aid Alberts is a very good choice. During his time in Shenhua, he put forward many suggestions, such as players should wear uniform clothing during training, not like a circus; it is best to wear uniform suits when attending events or public occasions ; After training and games, when the dirty jerseys and shorts are taken off, there should be regulations on which side should be turned upside down. The correct way of turning over can make the jerseys clean; in Germany, players’ sneakers are cleaned before handing them over to the staff Go tidy up; the jerseys in your closet should not be stuffed indiscriminately, but should be squarely folded into the size of an A4 paper...

The player nicknamed the Hammer has taught Chinese players a lot. It is a pity that he is now at the peak of his career and will definitely not come to China.

Li Lei can only let people go to Germany to try their luck to see if they can find a foreign aid with the same professionalism as Alberts.
