Chapter 343
This was a resounding victory, and we definitely deserve to celebrate.
People across the country who have just finished watching this game are probably setting off firecrackers and fireworks all over the country right now!
"I've made up my mind!"
Because our cheering squad of seven or eight hundred people was still excitedly banging drums and gongs, Xing Baohua couldn't quite hear what Wei Laisong was saying.
"I've decided that when I get back, I'll form the Luzhong Football Team to participate in national competitions and provide promising young players for the national team," Wei Laisong said, grabbing Xing Baohua's arm with a happy and excited expression.
Xing Baohua opened her eyes wide and shook her head in horror. This guy was possessed.
How much money would have to be thrown in there!
It might only cost a few hundred thousand to start now, and the salary is low. But once it becomes professional and enters the Jia-A era, just throw people in.
Allowing foreign aid is when the real spending begins.
Was Wang Shoufu rich? Just one sentence from him was enough to make Xing Baohua dare not get involved. She still remembers: "We can't afford to play this game, nobody can afford to play this game."
Of course, even without Wang Jianlin, the football team continues to play. It's not like he claims he can't handle the game.
As long as you stay within the rules, you can still play; it just depends on how you play.
The actor who performed in the skit, Uncle Benshan, threw away 10 million yuan and became the chairman of a sports team without really understanding what was going on. Later, he found out that this chairman was just a figurehead and didn't have any real authority.
He couldn't even meet the shareholders, and didn't even know who the shareholders were. This was probably his worst investment ever.
Building a team now is a great hope. We have no shortage of human, material, and financial resources, and we are confident that we can develop the team well.
But what happened a few years later was how this process unfolded in a brutal way.
The team led by Wang, the richest man in China, that once swept across Asia, has actually withdrawn and stopped playing.
Is it a lack of money or manpower? It's just that they're not used to some of the rules.
Xing Baohua was confident that his current financial resources were no less than Wang, the richest man in China, and perhaps even more. But given past experiences, did Xing Baohua feel he could handle the situation?
The leader of Luzhong has spoken, determined to build it; this is driven by hope.
If he leaves his post, can he still keep things under control? It'll be commercialized sooner or later, and either a car manufacturer or Dami Technology will take over.
Based on this relationship, he had to take over. Being able to personally announce in this setting that he wanted to build a team and provide talent for the national team was a way of telling Xing Baohua that the money needed to be prepared.
Xing Baohua estimated in his mind that throwing out a few million yuan a year was really nothing, since it wasn't fully commercialized yet and there was still room for maneuver.
It will only last for about ten years.
If he followed the rules, he could probably play for a longer time, but is Xing Baohua the kind of person who follows the rules?
After leaving the stadium, Xing Baohua called Mitsui Fujisaburo and asked him to find a large banquet hall, as he was hosting a dinner party that night.
When you come to Japan, you eat seafood, so what are you going to do, eat ramen and kimbap?
Believe it or not, if Xing Baohua hadn't treated them, they really would have eaten like that. Due to budgetary controls, they didn't have much foreign exchange on hand, so they had to be frugal when they were out.
For them, as long as they have enough to eat and the energy to run, that's all that matters.
The difference between them and the players twenty years later is like heaven and earth.
These are a group of players with dreams.
Therefore, at the celebration party, Xing Baohua promised that whoever scores a goal at the Seoul Olympics next year will receive a reward of 100,000 yuan from Dami Technology.
In addition to the goal-scoring bonus, all players, coaches, and staff will share a reward of 500,000 yuan for every game won.
If divided equally, each person could get around 17,000 to 18,000 yuan.
Then, Xing Baohua said with a laugh, "If you go around the Olympics and come back with zero points, you have nothing."
Although it was a joke, Xing Baohua also promised that everyone who participated, regardless of their performance, would be rewarded with a mobile phone.
A lavish celebratory banquet was held, and the CEO of Dami Technology made a solemn promise. Domestic reporters who accompanied the event also covered the incident on site.
The report was sent back and made it into the newspapers the next day, which reignited the debate.
Some argue that the rewards are too generous and this trend shouldn't exist. They suggest that focusing solely on football is too biased and that equal treatment should be emphasized, with donations from local businesses being handled by the General Administration of Sport for overall planning and processing.
Another group of people supported it, arguing that a generous reward would surely attract brave men.
Perhaps with a hefty reward, they might score a few more goals and achieve better results?
Some argue that honor is priceless and shouldn't be linked to money. Players should be motivated to strive for victory.
Instead of seizing the victory that is rightfully yours by offering a huge reward, which would tarnish your honor.
After the celebration party, Xing Baohua and Wei Laisong went back to their hotel.
Since it wasn't appropriate to drink too much at the banquet, the two returned to their residence and chatted while having a few drinks. Xing Baohua didn't have his private secretary serve him.
“Since you’ve made up your mind to build a team, to be honest, I’m resentful and resistant. It’s not that I don’t like the sport, but there are some things I can’t tell you,” Xing Baohua said as he poured Wei Laisong a drink.
"Then I won't say anything, you just need to pay up, haha!" Wei Laisong said somewhat domineeringly.
Fortunately, Xing Baohua invested using rice technology. If the car factory had invested, even if Xing Baohua disagreed, the city government, being the largest shareholder, would have made the decision on a whim.
Xing Baohua didn't want Wei Laisong to make a rash decision. Building a car factory wasn't easy; he didn't want Wei Laisong to ruin it.
So Xing Baohua said, "Paying money is no problem. The team's equity, construction rights, decision-making power, and personnel rights will all be managed by Dami Technology."
“This isn’t proper procedurally!” Wei Laisong said.
"We can't just pay money and be ripped off!" Xing Baohua said, thinking of Teacher Zhao, who could only pay money but couldn't do anything and was just anxious.
