Team Spirit

Chapter 56: England's Isthmian Premier League (asking for monthly tickets)
After hanging up the phone angrily, Jiang Mengyun looked at Lu Kai while complaining, but was shocked by Lu Kai's appearance.

Seriously, it was the first time she experienced what it was like to have "green eyes" outside of a book.

Lu Kai's expression clearly showed...

So hungry and thirsty!
creak!

Emily pushed the door open and saw Lu Kai's expression.

She rushed to Jiang Mengyun, puffed out her chest, and shouted, "I knew it, Xiaokai, you are old, it's understandable that you have those kinds of impulses towards the opposite sex."

"But Sister Jiang is more than ten years older than you after all. If you really want it, then let me, your sister, bear it all!"

Lu Kai was filled with questions: "Now I know how the news in your Sun is written."

Emily was stunned: "Huh? Wasn't that what happened just now?"

"Then why is Sister Jiang's face so red now... Ah, stop tickling me, Sister Jiang, I was wrong... I won't dare to do it again next time..."

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."

Emily finally escaped Jiang Mengyun's clutches and said to Lu Kai, "I have compiled all the manufacturer resources from The Sun and sent them to your email."

“We should be able to find some sponsors from it.”

"How is the team's current investment attraction situation?"

Jiang Mengyun shook her head: "I'm not very optimistic. There are quite a few local companies willing to sponsor, but the amount doesn't meet our requirements."

"And the idea of ​​using beef or coupons to offset the price...it's just speechless."

"Those willing to spend real money are only willing to sponsor for one year, and no long-term contracts have been negotiated."

"The best one at the moment is the largest local cannery in Kent. They want a chest ad, but we're still trying to negotiate the price."

Lu Kai tapped his fingers on the table. "Normally, we can get £30,000 to £50,000 in sponsorship for next season."

"But if we really want to play in the seventh tier, that amount will probably have to double."

Jiang Mengyun was shocked: "Xiao Kai, are you really going to take on that hot potato?"

Emily was confused, so Jiang Mengyun explained to her the news that Joyce brought.

Lu Kai also found the problematic team in the relevant news - Gravesend, which is very close to Dartford.

There are thirteen ninth-tier leagues in England, while there are only six eighth-tier leagues, which are mainly divided by region.
The Northern Premier League is the Northern Division of English Football, referred to as the Northern Division.

The English Football Northern Premier League, Division One South, is referred to as the Northern Premier League South.

The English Football League Southern Premier League, Division 1, Central Division, referred to as the Southern Premier League.

The English Football Southern Premier League, Division One, South West Division, abbreviated as England Southern Premier League South West.

The Isthmian League One North is abbreviated as Isthmian League One North.

The English football league is the Isthmian League One South, referred to as the Isthmian League One South.

After being promoted from the Kent Premier League, they entered the "England and Ireland First Division North".

The seventh level has only three leagues, namely:
The Northern Premier League of English Football, referred to as the Northern Premier League.

English Football Southern Premier League, referred to as the English Southern Premier League.

The English football league is the Isthmian Premier League, also known as the Isthmian Premier League.

Gravesend is in the "English-Islamic Super League".

The team's financial problems have lasted for several seasons, and the stadium and other facilities have long been sold.

The team's various assets put together may not be worth £100,000, but if they merge they will have to bear an additional £500,000 in debt.

Only a fool can do it.

Dartford's purchase of it was equivalent to buying a year's time and a promotion qualification from the eighth level to the seventh level for £500,000. This was also not worth it in the eyes of outsiders.

After all, if Dartford is able to complete the upgrade from the "England and Ireland League One North" within one year, the expenses will mainly be player salaries and team operating costs, which are within 100,000 pounds.

Five hundred thousand pounds is obviously too expensive.

If Dartford is unable to advance in the "England and Ireland First Division North", they will fall down immediately after being promoted to the higher-level "England and Ireland Premier League".

The so-called qualification for promotion is nothing but an illusion and has no practical significance.

So, it's not a smart deal anyway.

If there was any bargain to be had, it wouldn't be Dartford's turn.

But all this is based on "normal circumstances".

But the situation on Lu Kai's side is actually not normal.

Others may not know, but doesn't he know the potential of his Dartford team?

Especially him, his strength is constantly improving. Maybe he does not have the ability to compete in the top four leagues, but he should have no problem carrying the seventh and eighth leagues.

His teammates are all capable of becoming emperors and are full of talent. Even though they were still playing at the ninth level last season, they can definitely keep up with the seventh level this season.

There are two types of geniuses. One type stands out from the crowd since childhood and grows faster than their peers. When everyone else is at level 1, they have already reached level 10.

A kind of invincibility at the same level. When everyone is level 1, they are also level 1, but they are the strongest level 1.

When everyone is level 10, they are also level 10, but they will be the strongest level 10.

The latter are not easily classified as geniuses, because when others are at level 10, they may only be at level 5.

Even the strongest level 5 is far inferior to a level 10.

The classic representative of the former is Messi.

The classic representative of the latter is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Most of the players collected by Dartford are "C Ronaldo-type" players.

Therefore, for a team composed of talented players whose strength is improving rapidly at any time, saving a year of time + a promotion qualification, 500,000 pounds is really not expensive.

So Lu Kai has decided to acquire Gravesend.

However, the specific details of the acquisition still need to be discussed slowly.

After all, it is not Dartford that is in a hurry, but the Kent Football Association and Joyce.

Joyce, in particular, took the initiative to contact Dartford because Gravesend was the "advanced representative of Kent County football club" that he had vigorously promoted during his tenure, and it was his positive project.

If the team goes bankrupt and disbands, Joyce's reputation will suffer a huge blow.

By then, let alone being promoted to a senior position in the English Football Association, he might even lose his current position.

Therefore, Lu Kai is certain that Joyce will continue to increase his investment.

……

Two days later, Joyce indeed extended an invitation to Lu Kai.

Lu Kai fully authorized the team director Jiang Mengyun to conduct the first round of negotiations.

While I was focusing on handling a cross-border transaction!
This deal was proposed by Fan Zhiyi, who wanted to send a young Chinese player to play football in England.

Fan Zhiyi helped Lu Kai keep Ashley Young. Lu Kai couldn't let his elder brother break his promise in front of his younger brothers in China, so he had to give him enough face.

So I personally participated in the whole process.

Speaking of which, these past few years have been a time when Chinese national football players have been eager to study abroad in Europe.
