I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 475: 257-259: This is too big a deal! (6000 words)
[In 01, my father sent me to play football at Luneng Football School in Dongshan Province. The tuition fee was 16800 yuan a year. In 01, many families could not earn 16800 yuan a year. This tuition fee has already discouraged many potential football talents. Now, Gaoling is free, and the coaches are all foreign, and they are foreign coaches from South America. No matter what the result is, I want to pay tribute to him.]

[I also studied football. Chinese football has been getting worse and worse in recent years. The lack of successors is indeed a major reason. In 09, I heard the coach mention that there were less than 8000 registered players at that time. In a country with a population of more than one billion, there are less than 8000 registered players. How can we select excellent players?]

[When I was in college, every time I bought the "Football Newspaper", I would hear a football tycoon say that the Chinese national football team will lose in the future because there are very few children playing and practicing football. If I remember correctly, there was only less than 1 people registered one year. At that time, Yao Ming was very popular, and many children on the street replaced their footballs with basketballs. Now it seems that they are really losing! ]

[When it comes to football, people say that the soil for football is not good, and parents don't let their children play football. But why don't parents let their children play football? Ask yourself, do you really want your children to go the professional sports route? After all, only a small number of people who can enter the professional team are the best of the best. This does not include injuries and accidents that may occur during training and competitions. How many geniuses died because of injuries? Compared with the college entrance examination, the path of professional sports is truly a single-plank bridge for thousands of people. ]

【The cultivation of sports talents cannot make them disconnected from society, otherwise it will be like gambling. Once you fail to achieve anything in the field of sports, you will have no way out in life. Primary schools should cultivate interest in football (free of charge), and middle schools should select football talents (low fees). In the college entrance examination, let the football talents choose for themselves, whether to go to a football university or a cultural university. Maybe this will be better. Some things cannot be achieved overnight. Just proceed step by step and persevere.】

[To reply to the above post, Hillhouse Capital has really taken the right path this time. I think it will work! ]

[So Gaoling’s approach of combining sports and education is really the right one. It doesn’t matter if it fails. After all, you are still playing football in school, so just treat it as physical exercise. You won’t become a terrible cannon fodder denominator.]

[Indeed, in any industry, you must consider how to deal with those who are eliminated. Those at the top of the pyramid don’t consider their value, so they will naturally be eliminated. The most critical thing is the grassroots. Hillhouse Capital, which really invests money, is really awesome! ]

[Will it be useless? In the end, they are all gangsters, and they are the same old way of charging money to join the school team. ]

[How could it be a hooligan? Hillhouse hired only foreign coaches, not a single domestic coach. Do you think this is a joke? Hillhouse is serious this time! ]

the other side.

This heavy bomb also hit Hillhouse’s senior executives.

Gao Huaijun didn't expect that the thing he came up with would cause such a big event.

"Mr. Ning, please give me a check on how I should handle this matter. I've been thinking about how big this matter is." Lin Yunshen had just rushed to Lundun and completed the equity transfer procedures with Merlin's people when he heard on the news that Gao Ling had made such a big news.

This is what Gao Huaijun meant to communicate with him.

For the construction of the stadium, Gao Huaijun will ask Hillhouse Properties to find people from the overseas branch of China Construction Third Bureau to build it.

As for the domestic youth training sector, we took a fancy to Lin Yunshen's execution ability and gave him full responsibility to build this work.

This is giving him a headache.

China's football level is poor.

Not only is the level of Chinese football poor, the football level of the hundreds of millions of Chinese people overseas is also poor. There isn't even a single Chinese person in the top five leagues.

Therefore, we can only follow Gao Huaijun's request and work with the incoming youth training director to perfect the youth training outline.

But even so, there are a lot of things to do.

This is not as simple and comfortable as working on Hillhouse derivatives!
"Why has the situation gotten so big? Mr. Lin, this is a test from Mr. Gao!" Ning Yuan patted Lin Yunshen's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Oh? Mr. Ning, what did you say?" Lin Yunshen's eyes suddenly lit up and he became interested.

"Is Hillhouse Entertainment in need of an executive president now? My concurrent position as Hillhouse Entertainment is temporary, and a new executive president will definitely be appointed in the future."

"Gao Ling Entertainment's business may seem fragmented, but it's not a small business! Movies, games, and now football are all included in the big category of Gao Ling Entertainment. According to Mr. Gao, this section will be used as a publicity tool for Gao Ling in the future, and it would be best if it could make some money."

“If this is done, isn’t it better than Hillhouse’s derivatives?”

Ning Yuan said slowly.

Lin Yunshen nodded upon hearing this.

Hillhouse’s derivatives seem to have good performance, but that’s all it can do.

As a department of Hillhouse that has already taken supplementary actions, it only produces small gadgets such as electric fans, electric lamps, ballpoint pens, and wiring boards. Larger refrigerators and air conditioners are outsourced, but the profit is not high.

If he could be transferred to Hillhouse Entertainment, a department with a higher strategic level and voice, as executive president, he would naturally be able to move to a higher level.

Not to mention other things, Hillhouse Films alone is already preparing three films, one of which is the sequel to "The Wandering Earth", "The Wandering Earth 2".

It can be seen that this must be another hot-selling product.

He cannot see the game for now, but it is China's first 3A game, and the gimmick is quite high. Even if he has done something good behind the scenes, he can still enjoy some credit.

Not to mention football.

With the support of Hillhouse, it would be great if we could bring Charlton into a top club.

That's a joke!

There is no way that Lin Yunshen could leave a strong mark in the history of Chinese sports!
"besides."

"The task of training young football players that President Gao has given you is a very heavy one."

"This means that Hillhouse has transformed from a company that only considers profits and social development to a company that also takes social responsibilities into account."

Ning Yuan's expression became serious and he spoke in a deep voice.

He didn't wait for Lin Yunshen to speak and continued, "There are 100 pilot schools, and each school has three age groups. Except for U9, which is universal and everyone has about a month of experimental learning, each school has one team for U10 and U11, and each team has 25 people."

"This means that nearly 2500 ordinary students receive professional football training every year."

"After they reach junior high school, we have reached an agreement with the Xicheng Municipal Government that these students can enjoy extra points in the junior high school entrance examination and go to key middle schools."

"And we will still select about ten schools of different levels as target schools for football in junior high school."

"When it comes to high school, there will still be three high schools."

"For such a huge project, you don't need to be outstanding. Just do this pilot project well. You know what I mean by your position in President Gao's heart."

At the end, Ning Yuan patted Lin Yunshen on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

"Mr. Gao's top-level design ability is amazing. Such a grand design is not something that can be produced by a single company." Lin Yunshen on the side said with emotion.

In Xicheng alone, the number of football players increases by 2500 every year, and these players are professionals who combine sports and education.

This is really amazing!

Because this is not a full-time professional student like in a football school. After graduation, you will be useless except for football.

This is a school team. Classes are held normally and there are two or three training sessions a week, which basically does not affect students' studies.

The advantage of doing this is that there will basically be no phenomenon of retirement at the age of 13 (junior high school).

In fact, Chinese students are not as busy as imagined.

It is common to see junior high school students playing games once or several times a week.

In fact, parents also hope that students have a sport that can exercise their bodies.

This just allows them to enter school, become a member of the school team, and study for free, so students' parents are actually willing to do so.

After all, there is no cost.

Although there are many advantages, there are also disadvantages.

This kind of student who shops overseas.

One professional player for every 1000 people is considered a lot.

And young players are worthless.

This actually means that the money Hillhouse spends every year can almost be considered wasted.

It is equivalent to using Hillhouse's money to help China build its foundation.

There won’t be any effect in the next one or two years. It will take more than ten to twenty years to lay the foundation. Only after this batch of students graduates, will there be a good football atmosphere and the cost of youth training will be reduced gradually.

That’s why Lin Yunshen said that such a grand design could not be produced by a single company.

If it is Suzhou, Xicheng, Changzhou, Jinling and other five or six surrounding cities, we can do it together.

One year's youth training expenses, two hundred million can easily be wasted!
For twenty consecutive years, that would be an expenditure of tens of billions of dollars.

There is basically no return on this expenditure of billions, it is just thrown into the water.

Only Gao Huaijun would be willing to do that!
"Mr. Gao has his own big picture. Football is not just a sport, it is also a big regret in the hearts of the Chinese people."

"This regret has become more acute as China's economy has grown and various previously backward technologies have developed, such as the automobile industry, the electronics industry, and even the film industry."

"Although our national football team is not good, in which World Cup qualifiers was our football stadium not packed?"

"Every time the Chinese national football team loses a game, they are scolded to death. But will it be a sure thing to be on the hot search headlines next time?"

"What does this prove? It proves that football is the most talked-about sport in China!"

"If President Gao can make up for this regret, then how do you think the Chinese people will view us, Gao Ling?"

"What can we get from these billions?"

"We lost in the small calculations, but do you think we can lose in the big calculations?"

Ning Yuan personally poured a cup of tea for Lin Yunshen. After Lin Yunshen took it in panic, he looked at Ning Yuan meaningfully.

He knew that Ning Yuan had something else in his words!
This is actually quite understandable.

Let's do some calculations. There are 2500 football players in Xicheng alone every year. In ten years, there are 2.5 people in Xicheng alone.

If the effect is good next year or the year after, and spreads to Suzhou, Jinling, Changzhou and other surrounding cities in Jiangsu Province, then in ten years, the football population will definitely reach 100,000.

What is this concept?

With these 100,000 people, plus the overflow of football population that has grown, it is conservatively estimated that there will be 200,000 people.

And this number is actually almost the same as that of Han Country!

It doesn't have to be better than the island countries, but it can be comparable to the cold countries and have a certain degree of competitiveness.

Then Hillhouse has done a great job! This is not to mention the development of football population in other parts of China due to economic development. The number is even greater.

If Hillhouse can really provide a solid foundation for Chinese football and drive the development of the national football team.

The social effect of this is...

Lin Yunshen himself didn’t dare to think about it!
Generous!
A truly grand deal!
In China, only Hillhouse Capital dares to make such a big move.

. . . . . .

While China and other countries were shocked by Hillhouse's big investment, Gao Huaijun was still stuck in the corrupt country.

After more than an hour's drive, he arrived at the location of his new big toy after Lin Yunshen completed the equity handover ceremony of Charlton Football Club.

Greenwich is a suburb of London.

Greenwich, located in the southeast suburbs of London, is a small town that combines history and modernity, prosperity and tranquility.

Its location is almost equivalent to Qingpu's status in Shanghai.

However, compared with Qingpu, Greenwich is much closer to the city center of London.

In terms of geographical location, it is close to the inner ring of Shanghai.

Because Charlton's training ground is near the Valley Stadium, about two kilometers away from the Valley Stadium.

So Gao Huaijun did not enter the district center of Greenwich, but went directly to their training ground.

During this period, due to the relatively meagre budget of the original investors, the unstable level of the players, and the inadequate payment of bonuses, the team is now on the verge of relegation.

Last year they managed to avoid relegation with difficulty.

It seems that after another one or two years of turmoil, the team will probably be relegated to English League Two.

Now that Hillhouse Capital has taken over, it can be said that it is a blessing in disguise!

At this time, next to the dilapidated training base, many players were training separately.

It seems that the first team, the second team, and even the youth team are all training in an orderly manner.

When Gao Huaijun saw this scene, he couldn't help but nodded.

In the UK, even a Championship team has a complete echelon structure.

This is mainly due to the Premier League’s registration system.

The maximum number of players that each team can register in a single season is 25, but the actual number of registrants can vary depending on the needs of the team.

The Premier League registration rules require that each team must have no fewer than eight local youth players.

These players must have played for the English Football Association and the Welsh Football Association for three full seasons or 15 months (with breaks) between the ages of 21 and 3. This is the Premier League's household registration policy, which aims to promote the development of local youth training.

And the number of people who sign up for a single season in China is too many!
Each team can register 2023 players in 35.

With so many players, the club has no motivation to develop its own youth players.

Just buy it.

Moreover, in China, even the Chinese Super League teams are all freeloaders. Apart from the first team, there are no other youth training teams.

You want to choose 14 people from 11 billion people to play football?

how can that be!

It would be better to talk about this when the Chinese Football Association has built a corresponding echelon.

At this time, Hu Ge had already informed the club that Gao Huaijun would come over for inspection today.

Everyone at Charlton Athletic Football Club is taking this matter very seriously and is eager to give a good performance to their new boss.

For a small club like Charlton.

From top to bottom, from staff to coaches to players, there are problems of one kind or another.

The reason is simple. The original boss saved money in every possible way. How good can these people be? That's ridiculous.

Most of them are people from Greenwich and the surrounding areas, who come here just to make a living.

Now that Gao Huaijun has acquired the club, everyone is naturally in danger. The original head coach was fired, which has aggravated their crisis.

Because they know that nothing here is not for sale!
When Hillhouse Capital comes in, it will definitely not indulge in the little happiness of the Championship. It will definitely invest more money to get the team promoted to the Premier League as soon as possible.

Even go a step further and make this team a Premier League giant.

They are also nervous, worried that they will be fired next!
After the car stopped, the driver and Hu Ge in the passenger seat got out at the same time. Hu Ge took the lead and opened the door for Gao Huaijun.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Charlton Club employees were all stunned.

They vaguely knew that their new boss was a young man from the mysterious East, but they did not expect that the new boss was so young.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the new boss.

It turns out that he has been in business for more than ten years, and he is still only in his early thirties!
At this moment, other people also recognized Gao Huaijun one after another, which shocked everyone.

It was this young man who declared that within five years, Charlton, the little Karami, would reach the top of the Forbidden City.

How great is this financial resource?
At this time, the team's CEO Thomas Sandgaard walked forward, stretched out his hands, bent slightly, and shook hands with Gao Huaijun, "Mr. Gao, welcome to Charlton Athletic Football Club."

Gao Huaijun shook hands with him with a smile, "I am also very happy to meet such a professional team."

After hearing what Gao Huaijun said, Thomas Sandergaard secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the very least, Gao Huaijun will not fire him directly this time. It seems that he should be given a chance in the summer transfer window.

Then, the head coach Benítez, who represented the first team, also came forward and shook hands with Gao Huaijun. "Hello, Mr. Gao, it's great to see you here."

"Master Benítez is a true master of techniques and tactics. I hope you can lead this team to the Premier League, and lead this team to the top of the world and become the Champions League champion!" Gao Huaijun shook hands with Benítez and said generously.

The employees of Charlton Athletic Club who were standing by couldn't help but gasp when they heard Gao Huaijun say this.

An ordinary Championship team is actually aiming to win the Champions League!
This tone is indeed quite big.

However, when Benítez heard Gao Huaijun say this in front of everyone, he couldn't help but feel excited.

You know, he came here because of Gao Huaijun!
It turns out that he is in Magpie, although the funding is still available.

But he also knew that the team could at best reach the middle of the Premier League, and was far from the top.

But this Charlton team is different.

The boss is a top technology company in the Fortune 500.

It has two cards in hand: electronic technology and automotive industry.

Compared with the behind-the-scenes bosses of the major Premier League clubs, he is not inferior!
Now it is even more amazing that there is a giant like Merlin Bank to endorse it.

So he hesitated for a moment and then ran over.

He only has this opportunity during the latent period of a wealthy club. If they really become wealthy and select global coaches, he probably won’t have a chance!

Before the staff on the side could get excited for a few minutes, Gao Huaijun said, "This season, we have encountered a little difficulty in relegation in the Championship. Let me give you a little prize. If you can successfully avoid relegation, I will take out 1000 million pounds as a reward for your success!"

Wang Defa!
Wang Defa!!

Wang Defa! ! !
All the first-team players present couldn't help but get excited when they heard the news.

Just now they were still worried, thinking that they were about to lose their jobs, but not now.

Because Gao Huaijun’s reward is so exciting!
Charlton is a small team in the Championship, so the salaries of its employees are extremely low.

The combined wages of all first-team staff are less than £500 million.

Now Gao Huaijun has taken direct action and rewarded them with 1000 million pounds if they successfully avoid relegation.

This is more exciting than taking stimulants.

This means that if they can successfully avoid relegation, they will be able to directly receive a bonus equivalent to twice their salary this season.

It really doesn't matter whether this can be kept or not.

Dry!
It would be painful if the money could not flow into your pocket!

Almost in an instant, the emotions and shadows surrounding the Charlton team dissipated.

Everyone looked at Gao Huaijun excitedly, as if they had seen the God of Wealth.

Originally, a small number of them had complaints about their boss being an oriental yellow-skinned man, but now everyone has thrown such emotions out of the window.

atmosphere!

The new boss is so cool!

Thomas Sandgaard immediately stepped forward and excitedly shook hands with Gao Huaijun again. "Now the whole team is working hard to stay in the Championship, but Mr. Gao's visit this time has really played a stabilizing role. This £1000 million bonus is really timely."

Gao Huaijun laughed loudly and said to Thomas Sandgaard, "This is a small gift from me to the team. I will have to trouble Mr. Thomas to take care of the club's affairs in the future."

Thomas Sandgaard nodded quickly and replied very seriously, "I will try my best."
