Chapter 717 Xiangyang invites General Fan to join Liverpool
Compared to the entertainment industry.

Sports is the real source of huge profits.

As the conditions for hosting events will be gradually relaxed, operating companies and host cities of various events have reached cooperation.

In previous years, there were only a dozen marathon events in China, but in the future the number will exceed a thousand.

Even the Athletics Association had to issue a document requiring the same operating company not to hold events within two consecutive weeks, but it still failed to prevent marathon events of varying quality from being held across the country.

The main reason is that this kind of competition really makes money.

The kind with eyes closed.

Compared with the investment of hundreds of millions and considering the appeal of celebrities to the box office market, the threshold for hosting a marathon is too low.

The income is very secure.

In addition to the visible income such as registration fees and charity quotas.

Even taking photos can bring in a lot of income.

Anyone who has run a marathon knows that photos of the race must be downloaded from a special platform.

If you want a clear watermark, you will have to pay extra.

Some unscrupulous organizers even charge for downloading a single photo without a watermark.

Of course, this is just small money.

But what about the bigger picture?

According to the "China Marathon Population and Consumption Survey Report", the average annual consumption of Chinese road running enthusiasts is 11418 yuan.

Here, in addition to running shoes, there are also compression pants, open-top hats, and sports watches.

Of course, this also includes memberships on sports software.

In this regard, Xiang Yang expressed regret that these involve content and products, how can a complete sports brand be without them?
While he stayed in Guangzhou, patiently waiting for the football match of the Asian Games two days later.

HYS’s App in China has undergone an update.

Xiangyang, who stays in Guangzhou, doesn't just go to competitions to show his face every day, he still has to do serious work.

During the period when several European top clubs were visiting China to look for young football players, after the last communication and understanding, Bi Shaffer specially contacted the general manager of the AG2R team and asked him to send someone to China to conduct a detailed investigation of the Hengxiang team.

In the future, this team sponsored by Lightning (Huaxia) Company was successfully acquired.

The name has also changed slightly.

Just like the renamed AG2R-HYS, Hengxiang’s name also has the eye-catching word HYS after it.

The update of HYS App is also related to this acquisition.

Originally, only the UTMB race points list interface could be scrolled horizontally, and now there is an additional cycling record.

When I clicked in, I saw not only a ranking list, but also words like "my equipment" and "my car".

But what attracts the most attention are the eye-catching Chinese characters "Participating Stages".

Is HYS going to develop cycling race stages in China?

Through UTMB event points and the familiarity with HYS's tone in sports layout, users quickly realized this.

As expected, the moment I opened the mall.

A large number of gray “new arrival” photos and price question marks “???” attracted their attention.

Just when everyone in the community was discussing whether these new products could be exchanged for points or how much they would cost, a post suddenly became popular.

"Exploring the race, unexpectedly unlocking the Jingcheng Jietai Temple climb"

A mountain climbing enthusiast shared a screenshot of his app.

The total distance is 4.6 kilometers, with a cumulative climb of 191m, an average slope of 2.6%, 1 challenge number, 1 participant, and a time of 54 minutes and 18 seconds.

Average speed: 5.1km/h.

A hiking enthusiast.

By chance, with such a slow performance, I won the first place in the "Jietai Temple Climbing" stage.

While hiking with his friends, he wore a watch jointly branded by HYS and Garmin.

Therefore, the data is automatically uploaded after the software is updated.

Unexpectedly, I received 5 points as a reward.

However, these seemingly few points attracted the envy of the onlookers.

HYS points are equivalent to discounts.

Can be used directly as money.

Everyone who has used HYS App says it’s good.

"Where is Jietai Temple? Can anyone tell me about it?"

"Hurry up and get some points!"

“Do I have to wear a HYS sports watch? I don’t have one, what should I do?”

“Can the built-in positioning in the App be used together?”

"Didn't you read the update notes?"

"Who's watching that?"

"."

Just like the useless instruction manual, few people will click on the software update instructions to read them in detail.

As a test, HYS App actually announced a total of three stages in Beijing.

One is the Jietai Temple which has been visited by people, and the others are Tengwang Road and Miaofeng Mountain.

As for the results, of course they are activated by the data on HYS's sports watch. HYS does not sell mobile phones, so how could it let other manufacturers take advantage of it?

"Why are there only ones in Beijing? Don't we have any in Shanghai?"

“Why doesn’t our great Chongqing have a cycling section?”

"We don't have any in Chengdu either. What's going on? Do I have to buy a plane ticket to Beijing to earn points?"

"Didn't I say it was a test?"

"Hello."

Xiangyang, who had spent two days in various major competitions, had no time to pay attention to the discussions in the App community.

Xiangyang welcomed the visiting team led by Director Wei with a smile, "Director Wei, you must have worked hard after traveling so long."

He had heard about the gossip about the salary cap, and from the bottom of his heart, he gave Director Wei a thumbs up.

That's the way it should be done.

"No, no, please come out and welcome me personally, Mr. Xiang."

Director Wei's round face was also full of smiles. He had also heard the old man's praise.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is our football team's head coach Gao Hongbo. I'm sure you've heard of these two, our Hua Xia youth training coach Xu Genbao, Coach Xu and..."

"Fan Yi."

As a Beijing native, it is not surprising that I don’t know Gao Hongbo, who played for Beijing Guoan.

It is not surprising that you don’t know about such a famous old coach as Xu Genbao.

But as for Fan Yi, Xiangyang really doesn't need Director Wei to introduce him.

"How many have been replaced in each term? Have they changed?"

"Kacho also has something to say, what team am I leading? I'm leading the Spanish team."

"Can he do it? He can't play. He doesn't have the ability, you know?"

"If they continue like this, they will lose to Vietnam. After Thailand loses to Vietnam, they will lose to Myanmar. No one will lose next."

“I don’t care about my face anymore”

Looking at the smiling General Fan, Xiangyang's famous quotes suddenly popped up in his mind. To be honest, he really came right.

It’s more than just losing to Vietnam.

It is really difficult to find an opponent in the whole of Asia that the Chinese national football team can beat.

In a World Cup qualifier, we wish half of Asia could help us get into the top 12.

Who should take the blame for this?

Anyway, Xiangyang refused to carry it on his back, and this matter had nothing to do with him.

But that was in the past. Now, Xiangyang has become a hot commodity in the eyes of several people to some extent.

On the way here, Xu Genbao, Gao Hongbo and General Fan exchanged their opinions with each other and all felt that this was a very rare opportunity.

Must catch it.

In order to achieve results as quickly as possible, Director Wei also hopes that this assessment of young players will be a signal.

He even took the initiative to persuade Xu Genbao, who was in charge of the management of Shanghai East Asia, to postpone the transfer of young players for a while.

If there are really problems, the Football Association can lend a helping hand.

"Coach Xu, please rest assured that Zhang Linfan's transfer is not a problem." Facing several people, Xiang Yang first extended a small olive branch.

"I have asked them to send Zhang Linfan's game video to our Liverpool data center for evaluation. I believe there will be a result soon."

"Mr. Xiang also has high hopes for Zhang Linfan?" Xu Genbao looked at Xiang Yang with some surprise.

This is a pleasant surprise.

"Coach Xu, you're joking. I don't understand football." Unlike the previous two days, Xiangyang was unwilling to make nonsense in front of people who really understood football.

"All the results are based on the decision of our future sports director. However, I believe it is not difficult for us to arrange for a player to go abroad. I still have this little face."

Yes, no matter if it means Chelsea, which had already been optimistic about Zhang Linfan, has to pay the money.

Let Paris Saint-Germain buy this player.

The cost of around 100 million euros is not a big deal for Xiangyang's face.

But Xiang Yang also said that as long as Edwards thinks that Zhang Linfan or other domestic players are worth investing in.

Liverpool will not be ambiguous on this aspect.

There are no superstars in Chinese football.

But Chinese football needs superstars.

There is no doubt about this.

As a senior executive working for a luxury brand pyramid company, is it understandable that he cannot create stars?
Although football players have to rely on their strength to speak, we should not underestimate the momentum that can be created by giving a Chinese player the opportunity to land in the top five leagues.

In particular, this player can join a top team.

Even if it's just an appearance in the cup competition.

That was enough for the media to report on it over and over again for several years.

"That's really nice."

Xu Genbao held Xiangyang's hand and couldn't help but say:

"If this can really be accomplished, I believe there will be more parents who are willing to let their children develop towards the path of professional players."

"Coach Xu, you're joking." Xiangyang shook his head.

He does not agree with this view.

On the contrary, he thinks it is a good thing that Chinese children do not need to rely on football to find a way out.

"By the way." Looking at Fan Yi who was standing next to Xu Genbao and smiling, Xiang Yang said jokingly:
"If Mr. Fan had been able to join Liverpool, it would have been a happy event for domestic football."

“But I admire what you did.”

After adding another sentence, Xiangyang stretched out his hand towards Fan Yi.

Not everyone can refuse the opportunity to make a name for themselves in order to participate in the Asian Cup and play for the country.

At least none of the young players who came later could compare with the straightforward senior in front of him.

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Xiang." General Fan smiled and shook hands with Xiang Yang.

"That's not an exaggeration." Xiang Yang shook General Fan's hand and said with a smile:
"I don't know if we at Liverpool will have the chance to invite you to join for the second time. This time, there will definitely not be any harsh conditions."

"what?!"

As soon as these words came out.

Not only General Fan, who shook hands with Xiangyang, was standing there in a daze.

Even Gao Hongbo, Xu Genbao, Director Wei and the other people who were traveling with them were all stunned.

Xiangyang actually invited General Fan to join Liverpool.

this.
Can he still play?
No, I can’t get a labor permit.
This young man is so funny.
