After discovering the weirdness of the wooden knife, Li Sheng spent two days researching it, but he didn't find anything.And then the wooden knife showed no sign of actively hurting him.He also put this matter down first.

Qiu Desheng found him and handed him the ownership certificate of Jinning Football Club: "Although Jinning Club is only a first-tier team, it has a lot of assets, and the ownership is complicated, so it takes a lot of time to go through the procedures. "

Li Sheng looked at the equity certificate, nodded and said, "It's normal that the procedures are a bit troublesome when it comes to state-owned assets."

It cost him 50 billion to fully acquire Jinning Club.However, the acquisition was also a loss.Jinning Club still has a lot of assets, and as long as they are willing to invest, those assets can be called benign assets.As long as the business can be managed, the funds he invested will be recovered one day.

He asked Qiu Desheng: "The club, have you conducted an assessment? Is there any need for the current management to stay in office? Does the club need additional financial investment?"

"The management of the club is superfluous. The current main executives are relatives and friends of the leaders of Jinning District or people introduced by them. They are not strong in the ability to manage the football club. At least, most of them are not qualified for their current jobs. As for the financial aspect, it is still healthy, but that is achieved through compression. The team’s average player salary is now the lowest in the entire first division. Not only is there no way to attract good players, but the existing players are also fluctuating.”

Li Sheng frowned and said, "If you find the right person for the management, you can replace them. What about the management team in terms of competition? How is their ability?"

"The current coaching staff is still the team that led the team to upgrade. But they obviously can't adapt to the First Division. The head coach was originally the assistant coach of the city team, and he is somewhat related to the mayor of Jinning District. Judging from the previous games, he The tactical thinking is rigid, and they don’t know how to adapt, and it is difficult to control the team. The training level of the coaching staff is also insufficient.”

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Is there no one who can use it?" Since he bought the Jinning team, of course he hopes to avoid relegation this year.If you really want to change the head coach, find someone from the outside, and the change will only make the situation worse.But if he can tap talents from the inside, it will at least make the team less turbulent.

Qiu Desheng thought for a while and said: "We didn't contact the club, but just conducted some investigation and analysis from the side. So we can't be sure that the coach is available. But we found that there is a physical coach in the team's coaching staff." Graduated from the Cologne Sports Academy. He once served as the head coach of a second division team, but after that team was disbanded due to financial problems, he had no chance to be the head coach again. He only entered the club two years ago as a physical coach ...Judging from the team's game video, the Jinning team can be better than other teams, that is, physical fitness."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said: "You investigate his performance in the second-tier team. If there are any bright spots, you can talk to him. Forget it, I will talk to him when the time comes. As for the players, there are what's the situation?"

"In fact, the current situation of the team is not optimistic. Players still have abilities, at least the main players are all able to play in the first division. But the depth of the bench is not enough. In fact, after the promotion, the team still has a few outstanding abilities. players. However, because the team could not meet their salary increase requirements, one went to a super team, and a few went to other first-tier teams, and they performed quite well. In addition, after the team was promoted, The player's salary increase ratio is too low, and many players are seeking transfers."

Hearing this, Li Sheng knew that his team's investigation into Jinning Club was still very deep.Since this is the case, many things can be entrusted to them: "You send someone to find the right management and coaching staff. As long as you find the right one, you can change people depending on the time. In addition, immediately announce the appropriate salary increase for the players. , How to increase, you research, according to the player's ability level and contribution. But the average salary of the players must reach the middle level of the first division team. "

"Okay. We will make a plan for you to review tomorrow."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "You can arrange it. I'll meet with the players tomorrow. It doesn't need to be too formal, just like a symposium."

"Okay, I will communicate with the head coach later."

The change of ownership of the Jinning Club did not attract much attention from the outside world.However, the internal changes are very large.When he summoned the coaching staff to meet with the players, the head coach was still very bullish.

Li Sheng didn't argue with him with his general knowledge, and asked him to leave, and temporarily appointed the physical coach Qiu Desheng mentioned as the temporary head coach: "You can speak with your results. If you can relegation this season, you can have at least one more year." It’s time to prove myself.” It means that if relegation is avoided, he will be the head coach next season.

After that, he said to the players: "My request is to relegation. I don't care what you think about before, or what you think about in the future. As long as you succeed in relegation, your salary will increase. The plan for all employees is being worked out, and the specific increase The space will be determined according to your performance during the relegation period. But before that, I will take out 500 million as a relegation bonus, the main guarantee is 50, and the substitute is 20. The rest will be divided according to your performance on the court The money belongs to you players. If the relegation is successful, the coaching staff will get another 500 million rewards. I will deposit this money in the team's account. Whether I can spend it or not depends on whether you can live up to expectations. "

He notified all the decisions that needed to be announced, and then listened noncommittally to the guarantees from the coaching staff and players.Then he left the team training ground.He has to go to Namibia in the afternoon.

The land he bought is located in the southern part of the Namibian Desert, which was originally set as a restricted area because of the possible existence of diamond mines, and no one is allowed to enter.However, after more than 20 years of exploration, nothing has been found, and this entry now belongs to Li Sheng.

The Namibian Desert is said to be the oldest desert in the world.It stretches across the entire coastline of Namibia, but the northern part is quite narrow, and the narrowest place is only about ten kilometers.But in the south, there is a rock wall area extending from the sea to 160 kilometers inland.

In fact, this is a very unsuitable area for the development of agriculture.Because there is almost no soil except in narrow floodplains.

Li Sheng looked at the sand dunes that stretched for several kilometers or even tens of kilometers and were hundreds of meters high.There is really a lot of rain here in some years.There is almost no rain in the coastal zone, and it slowly increases as you go inland.Usually it can reach between 130 and 150 mm.And on the eastern edge, some years can reach [-] millimeters.But usually in the form of extremely short-lived storms.

He wants to transform this environment into a farm.There is no need to think about the farming industry for the time being.If he wanted to develop farming, he had to turn the sand here into soil.

However, although the surrounding land on his side is surrounded by desert.But there are farms less than ten kilometers away from the edge.Those farms belong to steppe farms.The area is quite large, many are more than [-] acres.But the vegetation is very lacking, maybe there are some trees, but there is usually almost no grass on the ground.These farms all belonged to white Europeans.

The Namibian government had hoped to nationalize the land of these whites by amending the constitution.But in the end nothing happened.

Li Sheng doesn't want to care about the story between Namibia and taking down the white people.He is now only thinking about how to turn this desert into a grassland as soon as possible.

Yes, he can only turn this land into a grassland now.Even if he has golden thighs like space, it is impossible for him to make the sand here heavier in a short period of time.But planting grass is not impossible.Grass roots can take root to a depth of several meters, and can even reach the submerged layer of the underground world.

Although this piece of land is an uninhabited area, Li Sheng still hopes to keep this piece of land relatively closed.

So he drew a line on the map according to the extent of his own land.He said to Tang Ke who came with him: "I plan to build a barbed wire fence." There are still many wild animals in this desert.Not to mention reptiles.There are also some carnivorous beasts that occasionally appear in this land.Since he is going to use it as a pasture, he must fence the surrounding area.

Li Sheng looked at the map for a while, clicked five points on it, and said, "The seawater desalination plants are built in these places. The lines of the water pipelines need to be explored by you."

Holding a small notebook, Tang Ke recorded Li Sheng's requests one by one, and said, "We can initially plan the water delivery route on the satellite land."

The location of the desalination plant pointed out by Li Sheng is the most inland one, [-] kilometers away from the sea.This water transmission line may spread for twenty or thirty kilometers.

Tang Ke glanced at the sun and said: "The information I have collected says that the maximum temperature difference in this desert can reach 31 degrees. The daytime temperature in summer is also very high. If you use open channels to transport water, the cost will be relatively low, but additional The volume is also relatively large. If the water is transported by pipeline, the construction period and cost will increase a lot. Especially the number of water lifting stations has not yet been determined, and the construction period and cost cannot be calculated for the time being.”

The two were standing on a sand dune with no end in sight at either end. The relative height of the sand dune was nearly 200 meters.Although such sand dunes are rare in this desert, smaller sand dunes are very common. They are parallel to the coast and cut off the straight passage from the sea to the inland.No matter which method is used to build water lines, engineering can be very difficult.These dunes are all sand, and it is very troublesome to dig them out.

But Li Sheng didn't care about these.He only asked for a quick reconciliation: "Let's use the open channel. But I hope to keep the road as straight as possible. It doesn't matter if you build more water stations."

Tang Ke wrote down his request, and said: "In addition, the sand dunes here are very tall. If you want to build the base of the wind power generation unit, it is best to be near the top of the sand dunes, but the whole project is also very troublesome."
