Chapter 716: Making money is not a problem for Xiang Yang
1100 million fixed, 100 million floating terms.

This is the price Evergrande gave to Shanghai East Asia Club for Zhang Linfan's transfer.

In the Chinese Super League, where "money football" has not yet really taken off, this amount of money is not a small expense for East Asian clubs.

Although China's famous coach Xu Genbao wants to spend ten years to build the so-called "China Manchester United".

However, since winning the China League Two championship in 07 and successfully entering the China League One, the road to promotion to the Chinese Super League has been somewhat bumpy.

In particular, the club has been under great financial pressure after failing to advance to the Chinese Super League after finishing fourth for consecutive years and introducing foreign players.

Both Xu Genbao himself and head coach General Fan have some expectations for this transfer.

After all, the club has to survive.

After the season ends, Zhang Linfan is not the only player who will be sold.

Several key players on the team, including Wang Jiayu, Jiang Zhipeng, Cao Yunding and Gu Chao, have received offers from other clubs.

"Coach Xu, I think Xiao Zhang and the others' matter can wait." General Fan said whatever he thought in front of his mentor.

Having played for Crystal Palace in the past, he knows if the rumors are true.

What does it mean to these young people in front of me?

"Of course I know what you are thinking." Xu Genbao also attaches great importance to the results of youth training. How could he not hope that these young men he brought up could step onto a higher stage?

"But, is this reliable? Didn't you contact them?"

"How can I contact him?" General Fan was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.

His connections abroad are not enough to handle the specific execution.

Compared with Xiangyang, there is a huge gap.

"If I had known that there would be a Chinese person taking over Liverpool, I should have joined Liverpool back then." While smiling bitterly, he mentioned an old story.

He is the man who once refused to join Liverpool!
This is true.

At Crystal Palace, he was not only named the best player in the team, but also the captain.

After Liverpool extended the olive, the contacts between the two sides reached the stage of negotiating specific contract matters.

It was precisely the point in the contract that required him not to participate in the 2000 Asian Cup that made General Van say no to Liverpool.

But unfortunately, we only made it to the semi-finals that year.

Looking back now, I can’t say I regret it, but if I had joined Liverpool back then, I would have some connections that could be of use now.

"By the way, Coach Xu, Xiao Gao should be present at the 1/8 match in two days." General Fan perked up when he suddenly remembered this.

Gao Hongbo is also Xu Genbao's favorite disciple.

The current head coach of the senior team.

If he acts as a bridge, the probability of meeting Xiangyang face to face and communicating with him will be much higher.

"How could I forget about him?"

When Gao Hongbo was mentioned, a hint of pride appeared on Xu Genbao's face.

"Is Chelsea really interested in the player named Zhang Linfan?" On the other side, Xiang Yang, who was communicating enthusiastically with Chen Shi, took the time to ask Little John.

There was no point asking Bi Shaffer about this.

She, like herself, doesn't understand football.

"Really." Little John nodded with a smile. "I heard from Chelsea's scouts that this player has good defensive awareness and a certain offensive awareness. Although his speed and skills have a lot of room for improvement, he is a rare winger in your China."

"Winger?" Xiang Yang smiled curiously, "Isn't that the same position as Mbappe?"

"He's a full-back."

Little John, who was left speechless by Xiangyang, pointed out his friend's mistake with disgust, pointed to his chest and said, "It's the same position I like to play most."

"Don't you like to be a striker?" Xiangyang asked with a smile as they walked.

If we say they play street basketball, there is no technique or tactics to speak of.

Everyone wants to be in the front and shoot.

Words like "chasing back" and "defense" have never appeared in their games.

Of course, when talking about their football game, the word that appears most often should be "explosive".

It's just that you need to add "被" in front.
"Are there any other Chinese players who are being noticed?" Xiang Yang asked.

“I didn’t ask for details.”

Little John shook his head. He knew all this because a delegation of scouts from several clubs came to Guangzhou and stayed in the same hotel with them. He happened to meet them in the morning and asked them casually.

Who said that? He had met some Chelsea staff when he went back and forth to the club to discuss CFT business.

Looks familiar.

But to be honest, he was also surprised that there were Chinese players who were selected as the key targets of investigation.

The last time he watched the match in Beijing, the scene was so boring that he almost fell asleep.

It’s better to look at method B.

"By the way, Xiang." Little John smiled at Xiang Yang and asked curiously, "You care about this matter. Do you want to pick peaches?"

"Picking peaches?" Xiangyang blinked blankly.

Seeing his friend playing dumb, Little John laughed, "Tell me, do you want them to come over and look for potential Chinese players first, and then let Liverpool sign them?"

"Don't hide it from me." Little John added, as if he saw through his friend.

"This..." Xiangyang pondered for a moment.

It is not impossible.

But Liverpool's transfer is no longer the same as before. Xiang Yang, who plans to hire Edwards as sports director after the club completes the acquisition, will not easily touch the precious authority in the hands of his subordinates.

He doesn't want to learn from Abu.

"When the time comes, I will ask Edwards to send someone over to investigate."

Xiangyang said carefully and quietly.

It wasn't that he was averse to the presence of China's top leaders, but he was worried that Bi Shaffer behind him would hear him mention the name of his new love and get jealous again.

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.

You can't guess it.

Take Liu Qianqian as an example.

The two of them were so familiar with each other, but if they had to separate for a while because of work and then meet again, he felt that he discovered some strange things in his wife.

The days are so fresh~
"Mr. Xiang, Mr. Rang, you two are still discussing football." Seeing that the two were addicted to whispering, Chen Shi, who was slightly touched by Xiang Yang's words just now, quickly adjusted himself. "Yes, such a happy thing is really rare." Xiang Yang nodded without hesitation.

From his point of view, the more young Chinese players can go out and achieve certain results, the greater the influence of HYS in Chinese sports will be in the future.

As for poaching the players that Evergrande Club has its eyes on, what impact will it have on the club?
Sorry.

Xiangyang asked himself if he had the time for that.

First of all, he is not a living Buddha.

Secondly, it’s not like he has nothing to do.

Why worry about others?

Is it necessary to use "Motherly Heart" in such a place?

"It seems that our Guangzhou Football Club has a very high vision." Mayor Chen said, and was about to ask his secretary to call over Liu Hengzhuo, the general manager of Evergrande Football Club.

"As the captain of the National Olympic Team, he must be highly valued by all the clubs. It's not surprising that the scouts from these clubs want to focus on observing him."

But when he heard Xiangyang say this, he stopped again.

As the saying goes, "Listen to the words and the gongs and drums to the sounds."

Anyone with a brain understands the true meaning of this sentence.

Chen Shi is certainly a man of brains, and far sharper than the average person.

Xiangyang was not exaggerating Lin Fan.

Instead, he was expressing his disdain for Evergrande.

In this case, there is no need to invite Liu Hengzhuo over.

It’s strange to say, Xiangyang has a good relationship with the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, but why does it feel a bit out of place once it arrives in Guangzhou?

"Mr. Xiang, I just checked with the person in charge of sports. In China, our city is the only one that has retained the "amateur sports school system."

With his usual smile, Mayor Chen said, "Each of the 12 districts has its own football team. The competitions they hold are much higher than the campus football league you are promoting."

"Oh? Really? Then I need to learn more about this."

Xiangyang said with a smile.

But in fact, there are sports schools in China that use football as their main sport, and it is definitely not just in the city of Guangdong.

There are similar sports schools in the Northwest, but due to funding issues, amateur sports schools at the county level have basically become defunct.

But when all is added up, there are no less than 40 sports schools with a football tradition.

However, there are also great differences between the two sides.

Therefore, what Chen Shi said was not wrong.

"Mayor Chen, can we invest and sponsor this sports school competition? Let more schools join in." Xiangyang said to Mayor Chen.

"Okay, of course you are welcome." Chen Shi said with a smile:

"Not only can you participate in sponsorship, but you can also learn about our purely civilian amateur clubs. In this area, our promotion has been very effective."

Every year, the Guangzhou Football Association selects and forms the "Guangzhou Youth Team" from amateur clubs and amateur sports schools.

Every weekend, training and competitions are held in a dedicated football base.

Xiangyang won the "Hundred Teams Cup" in Beijing, and he had read the information and learned about it.

If HYS and Evergrande rushed to sponsor Guangzhou youth sports competitions, wouldn’t that promote development better?
Besides, who says sports only refer to football?

"Mr. Xiang, the long-distance running events held in Guangzhou have been going on for 10 years. Cycling has also developed well here. You should pay more attention to us. After all, we are also a first-tier city. In terms of competitiveness, we are not inferior to Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen."

Xiang Yang nodded: "We have just learned about it. But I believe that with the holding of this Asian Games, people's enthusiasm for sports will be aroused. As for the subsequent rollout of individual sports events, it will be a natural thing. I can assure Mayor Chen that HYS will not be absent on this point."

"Really?" Chen Shi was stunned.

How come this young man suddenly became so easy to talk to?

"How about this, Mayor Chen? Since the long-distance running event has been held for 10 years, why don't we work hard to develop it into a marathon? It just so happens that our HYS will host the Xiamen Marathon with Anta next year. We have some experience in organizing and preparing for the event. Besides, there will also be a marathon in the Asian Games."

Mayor Chen looked at Xiang Yang and thought for a moment: "You mean, we should hold it for a long time?"

“If we can get support, no matter how long it lasts, we at HYS will fully support it.”

"Okay! That's great!"

Chen Shi's voice was a little excited.

It's not his fault.

Compared with a football club, the direct and indirect economic effects that a successful marathon can bring are comprehensive.

Not just the game itself.

The city’s tourism culture, catering, accommodation, transportation, and even entertainment and shopping.

From the perspective of promoting the comprehensive influence of the entire city.

Evergrande Club is just a promotional business card of a company.

The marathon is the city’s promotional business card.

If you want to hold a large-scale marathon with a wide coverage, you really need comprehensive sponsorship and guarantees from the brand.

In this way, more people can be attracted to participate.

"Mayor Chen, if you have any concerns, we at HYS can directly invest and advance the copyright income." Looking at the smiling Mayor Chen, Xiangyang extended another olive branch.

The marathon event income is divided into three parts.

Copyright (to the city), B2C link for end consumers, and B2B link.

As the organizer of the event, Xiangyang certainly wanted to take care of it all.

The investment in hosting a marathon ranges from 300 million to 3000 million.

What about direct benefits?
Next year's summer marathon is expected to be 1.5 million.

So this business is profitable.
Before Chen Shi could reply, Bi Shafer's eyes suddenly lit up when she learned through the translator what Xiang Yang was talking about.

Event organization, sponsorship, media broadcasting, participant consumption, etc.

All the aspects included here are related to HYS, INS, the new broadcasting plan for the UTMB event, the acquisition of broadcasting websites, and the corporate product called DJ in which he invested.

You can also try to sell some sponsorship spots to companies with which you have good relations.

this.
It’s a complete package.
