Super Marshal

"Morning, Mr. Gao Han."

When Alpine jogging passed by the construction site of the new Chinatown stadium, he still stopped outside the gate to observe the progress inside as usual.

I don't know if it was the last chance encounter. Engineer Xiaoqi always came earlier and saw him every time.

Every time they met, they would chat a few words, and they got acquainted with each other.

Xiaoqi is a very conscientious engineer who works meticulously. Every time he meets he will tell Gao Han about the progress of the project and all the problems encountered during the construction process. Sometimes he even has to explain it too much. long time.

But Gao Han also sees from it that he is a very capable engineer, who can always explain some very professional and profound things in a simple and simple way, so that he, a little white in the construction industry, can have an intuitive impression.

Later, with the encouragement of Gao Han, Xiaoqi also began to organize these opinions and explanations, and after sorting them out, they posted them on Weibo, which aroused heated discussions among many domestic netizens. After all, the new stadium in Chinatown used a lot. The world's first new technology.

After fighting side by side, Gao Han and Xiaoqi became friends on Weibo and interacted a lot.

"Hello, Xiaoqi." Gao Han always called his screen name directly.

"I heard that you came back yesterday, and I thought I would see you again this morning." Xiaoqi smiled excitedly.

Almost every time I came to the construction site, Gao Han was able to find something new.

The entire new stadium and the nearby shopping center are changing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. Gao Han is amazed by the infrastructure capabilities of the Chinese construction company, and even thinks it should be completed soon, but Xiaoqi doesn't think so.

"According to the current progress, it can only be regarded as in line with the schedule at best, and it is basically unlikely to advance."

Xiaoqi saw Gao Han’s doubts and quickly continued to explain: “In fact, from the start of construction to the present, the pile foundation and basement have taken the longest time. After the ground is released, the progress is very fast. This is still our quality The control is very strict, and the construction is completely based on ultra-rigorous standards. Otherwise, the speed can be faster."

"But the next steel structure, interior and exterior decoration will be slow and meticulous. It must not be fast. Therefore, according to our preliminary estimates, it would be good to be able to complete the work on time."

Speaking of last, Xiaoqi's smile carries a little pride and pride.

He has said on Weibo more than once that he is extremely honored to participate in such a project, not only because he is an engineer, but also because he is a die-hard fan of Chinatown.

"By the way, I heard from the chief engineer a few days ago that you intend to develop supporting projects around the stadium?"

Gao Han nodded slightly, "The surrounding land is ours. Although the shopping mall is still under construction, it has all been rented out. It is a powerful Chinese retail chain in Madrid. The land has also been developed, and several Spanish and domestic companies are very interested."

Xiaoqi also vaguely guessed the current business direction of Chinatown, which is to lay a solid foundation.

Many fans believe that Chinatown has made more than 200 million people from selling people this summer. It is reasonable to put it into the transfer market to improve the team's strength, especially after the two-game losing streak at the beginning, there are more such voices. There are even some fierce fans accusing the team management of making money.

But they obviously overlooked one thing, that is, Chinatown's fiscal revenue is not high.

The transfer fee income is unsustainable, but with the current transfer market environment, if a large investment is made, the salaries of the players introduced will inevitably be higher, which will greatly exceed the range of Chinatown's tolerance and break the team's salary structure.

Since Chinatown was promoted to La Liga, the team has been increasing the salaries of players in the team, almost every year. The increase is also the highest in La Liga. This is certainly because Chinatown’s previous salary was low, but on the other hand It can also be seen that Chinatown is cautious in adjusting the salary structure.

As the number one expenditure item of a football club, once the player's salary increases too fast and the club's financial income cannot keep up, the consequences will be unimaginable, so Chinatown's caution is understandable.

Domestic fans don't understand, but Xiaoqi is in Madrid, and he is more informed. He can understand.

This summer, the three major teams of La Liga, Valencia, Villarreal and Sevilla, failed to sign the chest ads, plus Zaragoza, Osasuna, and Spaniards. With the newly promoted Vallecano, there are a total of seven teams in La Liga who have to run naked on their chests, and if they are valued by the market, they will at least lose more than five million euros.

In the new season, the total amount of advertising sponsorship on the chest of the twenty teams in La Liga is less than 100 million. Among them, Barcelona and Real Madrid have won 60 million euros. Atletico Madrid signed a contract with Turkish Airlines not long ago. Share 30 million euros with Chinatown, and the remaining 16 teams only got a mere 10 million euros.

Being prepared for danger in times of peace, Chinatown has to be cautious in dealing with the current environment, and everyone firmly believes that after the broadcast rights reform in 2013, the team’s income will increase, but the La Liga team’s living environment It's only slightly improved. If you want to catch up with the Premier League, you have to work harder.

If you can’t invest in signings, you have to think of a way out for the transfer income of more than 200 million euros. It is impossible to put interest in the bank. With the current act of printing money in Europe to save the market, the currency will only depreciate faster and faster. .

Therefore, the way Chinatown chose is to invest in the preparation of the new stadium and surrounding commercial facilities, continue to invest in the youth training and scouting system, and further improve and improve the club's management mechanism. This is tantamount to practicing internal skills and consolidating the foundation.

"By the way, how many fans do you think our Chinatown can have in China?"

Xiaoqi frowned slightly, thought for a while, and shook his head: "I don't know, but as far as I know, there must be many. The team has developed rapidly in recent years. With your influence, the trip to China this summer is also the same. Word of mouth is overwhelming, and it is estimated that the number of fans will increase, but most of them are scattered."

Gao Han nodded, "So, we consider establishing an officially recognized Chinatown fan organization in China."

"Really?" Xiaoqi was overjoyed after hearing this. This was something he had been talking about for a long time.

"The club's name is Chinatown. If there is no fan club in China, how can it be said?"

"That's great. There is an officially recognized fan club. I can guarantee that Chinatown will become more and more influential in the country, and the number of fans will be able to surpass those old giants."

After a pause, Xiaoqi looked at Gao Han with a smile, "If only a few Chinese players can be introduced, that would be even better."

Gao Han's face darkened, and he sighed for a long time.

Hasn't he thought about this?

As a Chinese, how much he desires to have a Chinese player in his team, that not only represents a huge Chinese market, represents endless commercial interests, but also can realize his dream.

He has even tried this before, but in the current domestic environment, there are very few people who have the ability and potential to gain a foothold in the four major European leagues, and it is difficult to run them to Europe.

Mendes complained to Gao Han about this incident more than once, but what can he change?

"There is a Chinese in our team." Gao Han calmed down, looked at Xiaoqi, and said with a smile.

"I know, Yang Xin, but he is only twelve years old."

"He is the direct line of our Chinatown youth training root Zheng Miaohong. The club is very optimistic about him. At present, we are also working hard to communicate with the Chinese Football Association and the Spanish Football Association. We hope to promote a cooperation and put us in the domestic youth training center. Some of the players were brought to Madrid for further training in football."

"In addition, I am also actively contacting other leagues and some teams that train outstanding players, hoping to run more young players to Europe."

This is why Gao Han is determined to open four more youth training centers in the next few years. He wants to train players by himself before sending them abroad.

"Will it involve too much? Can the football associations of European countries agree?"

Gao Han nodded, "It's really not easy, but South Korea has long established such precedents. For example, Sun Xingmin, who emerged in Hamburg last season, is the model of cooperation between South Korea and the German Football Association. He came to Europe at the age of 16."

After a pause, Gao Han said with confidence: "The Chinese market is big enough, and all major European leagues are coveting them. Do you think they would be unwilling to accept Chinese players?"

"But in this way, won't your Chinatown lose money?"

After working hard to support the youth training, cultivate a group of young players, and then transport them to Europe. It is conceivable that 15- or 16-year-old players can't get any transfer fees at all. So what does Chinatown rely on to maintain its operations?

"This is not true, because we can get a fixed rake from every transfer of players in the future. Therefore, theoretically, the better the players we have cultivated, the higher the transfer fee value, and what we can The more you get, so I think that as long as the initial accumulation of this model is completed, there will be gains in the future."

Xiaoqi understood what Gao Han meant, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com also vaguely realized that this set of business models may be really feasible, but what about the initial investment?

According to the current domestic media's assessment of Chinatown's plans for the next few years, at least two billion yuan will be invested.

I haven't seen any results yet, so I invested so much directly. Only a fool like Gao Han who loves Chinese football and desires Chinese football to take off can do such stupid things.

Just when Xiaoqi was moved and wondered whether to talk about these things on Weibo, Gao Han suddenly reminded him.

"Don't talk about these things on Weibo. Don't just post on Weibo for everything. Now everyone is seriously suspicious. You have become the gunman of our club."

Xiaoqi laughed, "What's the matter? How many people want to be a gunman for you, Chinatown, are they not qualified?"

After speaking, he turned his head and saw the Chaoyang from the east slantingly hit Gao Han's face, as if it was coated with a light film.

He still clearly remembers that Gao Han said that Chinese football is not someone’s football, it is not the football of the Football Association, it is not the football of professional leagues, and it is not the football of those club owners. It is the football of every Chinese.

The backwardness of Chinese football requires everyone to work together, and first of all, someone must dare to stand up and take the first step.

Gao Han stepped forward and took the first step. Regardless of success or failure, he should be respected.

Under repeated advice, Gao Han left the construction site of the new stadium.

He has another meeting to be held in the morning, and he wants to return to Paris as soon as possible at noon.

Watching the back of him leaving, Xiaoqi suddenly picked up the phone, took a picture of the back under the rising sun, and posted on Weibo.

Xiaoqi felt that what he saw was not a person, but a hope.

Hope for the rise and take-off of Chinese football!
