Allen's words did serve as a reminder to Li Shiguang.
I remember when I first transmigrated here, the extravagant lifestyle from the original owner's memories would often pop into my mind. After all, he was a rich second-generation heir, and he was always surrounded by women.
However, after Li Shiguang took over this body, perhaps because he was just an ordinary person in his previous life and had never experienced the life of a rich second generation, or perhaps because he was busy with work and under the pressure of reviving Leeds United, these lives that he used to envy gradually faded from his memory.
What was originally just a normal request for Allen to provide him with an assistant turned out to be something more profound.
But it's good that things are gradually getting better now, and we have money in our hands, so we should still enjoy life.
Whether the assistant is beautiful or not is not important.
Li Shiguang is now a big boss with a net worth of several million euros. Moreover, as Leeds United's performance gets better and better, he will definitely earn more and more money. In the future, he will not have to worry about not having beautiful women throwing themselves at him.
After indulging in a little daydreaming, Li Shiguang put Allen's suggestion out of his mind.
····
The next day, Li Shiguang returned to Stuttgart, Germany, where Allen arranged a meeting for him.
After the match against Chelsea, Li Shiguang sorted out two urgent matters at hand.
The first issue is the selection of a new head of youth training.
The previous youth team manager of Leeds United had previously followed Blackwell to West Bromwich Albion.
For a while, Li Shiguang couldn't find a suitable replacement for him, so until now, the training work of the youth training team has been handled by the assistant coach, and Li Shiguang himself also takes a day off each week to train the young men in the youth training team.
But things are different now.
In the future, Li Shiguang's work will definitely become busier and busier, and the time he can spend watching the youth team will be greatly reduced. Moreover, with the help of the system, Leeds United's youth training team will definitely become larger and larger, and those who can enter Leeds United's youth training will inevitably be young talents.
Therefore, it is now urgent to bring in a highly capable youth training director.
He now has two candidates.
One of them is Thomas Tuchel, who is currently coaching the Stuttgart U19 team.
The other is Diego Simeone, the Argentine defensive midfielder who will retire next year.
Both of these were coaches that Li Shiguang liked before his rebirth.
Tuchel's coaching career will reach its peak at Chelsea. After taking over in 2021, he immediately turned Chelsea's fortunes around, leading the team to their second Champions League title that year and being named FIFA's Best Men's Coach of the Year in 2021.
Especially after Chelsea was severely affected by some non-sporting reasons, when facing away games, Tuchel said: "We can fly there and we can fly back. If that doesn't work, we'll take the train; if that doesn't work, we'll take the bus; if that still doesn't work, I'll drive myself in a seven-seater car with my players!" Li Shiguang, who saw this interview on TV at the time, was also deeply moved by Tuchel's words.
But compared to Tuchel.
In fact, Li Shiguang prefers the "bandit coach" Simeone. Before he took over Atlético Madrid, Atlético Madrid was a team that focused on technical skills. However, after Simeone took over, he changed the previous style. The team emphasized defense, paid more attention to interception and tackles, and improved the quality of counterattacks.
It can be said that he brought diligence, strong discipline, grit, and an insatiable desire for victory to Atlético Madrid.
Such a tenacious spirit is something that Li Shiguang, who is also a head coach now, values highly.
Before Li Shiguang even got off work yesterday, he received a call from Allen, who said that he had arranged to meet with Tuchel today. So Li Shiguang quickly bought a plane ticket and arrived in Stuttgart early this morning.
After meeting, the two casually sat down in a coffee shop. Li Shiguang was straightforward in expressing his intentions. Now that he had more confidence, he offered Tuchel twice his current monthly salary and invited him to coach the Leeds United youth team.
Tuchel did not immediately accept Li Shiguang's invitation, but said that he should consider it and that even if he wanted to come to Leeds United, he would have to wait until the end of this season.
Li Shiguang didn't urge him. Even if Tuchel ultimately didn't want to come to Leeds United, he still had Simone as an option.
After the communication with Tuchel ended.
That afternoon, Li Shiguang rushed to Turin, Italy, because Wayne Joyce, the owner of Kappa, the sponsor of Leeds United's equipment, had invited him to dinner that night.
Due to the club's turmoil in the past two years, most of the previous sponsors did not choose to renew their contracts after they expired.
When Li Shiguang took over, Keppe was the only remaining sponsor, and the contract between the two parties was set to expire at the end of this year.
Kappa and other sponsors had originally planned to withdraw after the contract expired.
Who knew that Leeds United would undergo such a dramatic transformation this year? Not only did they return to the Premier League, but they also remained undefeated against two of the Premier League's biggest clubs last month. This got Wayne Joyce's mind racing, because a Premier League team can have a huge impact!
And coincidentally, just a few years ago, Kappa also entered the Chinese market.
However, because he had just entered this huge Chinese market and the company's brand awareness had not yet been established, his sales performance had not met his expectations for the past few years, and he was just worrying about it when Li Shiguang came into his view.
In his mind, wasn't the owner of Leeds United a person of Chinese descent? If he could continue to cooperate with Leeds United, given Leeds United's current momentum, Kappa could very well gain recognition in China!
So last week, Joyce called Allen and expressed her desire to meet with Li Shiguang in person.
Upon receiving the news, Li Shiguang was overjoyed. It was like a godsend; he had been thinking about sponsors anyway, so he arranged to meet Allen with him today.
Around 6 p.m., Li Shiguang met Wayne Joyce in a private room at a traditional Italian restaurant.
Both sides were willing to give and receive, so when Joyce expressed his desire to renew his sponsorship contract with Leeds United, Li Shiguang readily agreed.
This made Joyce very happy. He secretly thought to himself that this young boss, who looked to be at most 30 years old, seemed to have put most of his talent into football and was quite unfamiliar with business operations.
However, disagreements arose when the two discussed the amount of the new contract.
He then realized just how troublesome this seemingly harmless young man was...
