“Didn’t we give you naming rights and advertising rights?” Wei Laisong said.
"Advertising on TV is much more effective than investing in a sports team. If you apply to higher authorities and the local government makes reasonable investments, it can effectively improve the technical level."
"Take my idea for example. We'd like to invite experienced professionals from abroad to train the second-generation youth teams, and build first-class modern training facilities and scientific management." Xing Baohua shared his idea for a reason.
It's not professionalized yet; it'll probably be around 1994, so it'll be another five or six years.
The first team can continue playing as usual; the important thing is to develop the second and third teams. After a few years, the second and third teams will gradually grow stronger.
This is the time to show our strength.
Xing Baohua has a long-term vision; if it's allowed, he will hire foreign teachers and foreign aid without hesitation.
If the price is right, around 94, and King of Football is about to retire, I don't believe he won't come if the money is right.
Just based on its fame, it can attract so many viewers! It can also serve as a mascot, inspiring young people's fighting spirit.
Unlike when a reporter asked him, he said, "Give me some advice on football in country Z."
Damn it, he stammered for ages and didn't utter a single word. If he came to China to play football for two years, he could definitely tell everyone how to play football.
The vision is wonderful, but it will be quite difficult to realize.
To put it bluntly, Xing Baohua has plenty of money, and sometimes he doesn't even know how to spend it.
But spending money shouldn't be a waste; it should also consider achievements and face. Once the goal is achieved, you can spend money however you like if you're happy.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Laisong said, "I'll ask when I get back. We're building a modern training facility as you suggested. Hmm, the city's stadium needs renovation. In that case, why not rebuild it?"
"Reconstruction? Does the city have the money?"
"No."
"Don't even think about messing with me. Getting involved in sports and building stadiums would cost hundreds of millions. We're just small businesses. If you want to do it, get the basic infrastructure in place first."
When Wei Laisong heard Xing Baohua talk about small-scale business, he almost rolled his eyes at Xing Baohua.
"That's an expansion on the existing foundation, isn't it?" Seeing Xing Baohua's stinginess, Wei Laisong could only go back and try to squeeze out some funds to expand the stadium, which would be less expensive.
The two drank together and finished discussing the team's development.
Then we started talking about Toyota.
Xing Baohua said, "If Toyota really brings out the Crown model, I really wouldn't dare to take it. I only want their chassis technology."
“They’re willing to sell to you unconditionally, and you’re still being picky. I think you should just take it directly. They’ll even agree to a joint venture if they want. It’s better than nothing!” Wei Laisong said.
"After the joint venture, how should the shares be allocated? Should we build a new factory? That won't work. It can only become one of our car series, instead of letting the Japanese get involved."
“Tell me your reasons,” Wei Laisong pressed.
"They want to use a car model to join our team. How should the shares be divided? If you have more shares, you can share. But I represent HK Wah Hung Group, which only has a small number of shares, and they want to divest some of them. The West German side definitely won't agree to that!" Xing Baohua said.
"Let's talk about it first, and then we'll study it further to see if it's more beneficial or detrimental," Wei Laisong said.
"Alright! Let's set the tone ourselves first. Don't say anything unless it's absolutely necessary. I'll handle it myself." Xing Baohua reminded Wei Laisong, afraid that Toyota might throw out another tempting offer, and that Wei Laisong might impulsively ruin some of Xing Baohua's plans.
Those Japanese devils are cunning; they might dig a pit for you somewhere.
After the two had drunk their fill, Wei Laisong went back to rest.
The next day, Wei Laisong came to Xing Baohua's room, and Fa Zi opened the door.
Seeing that Xing Baohua had just gotten up, he said, "You can't do this. We're here on official business, not for you to go out and have fun."
As they were talking, Fa Zi, who was standing to the side, covered her mouth as if she was about to vomit.
Wei Laisong was stunned, thinking to himself, "What's wrong with this little girl? She vomits at everyone she sees. I'm not bad-looking either! She was fine when we met before!"
While Xing Baohua was washing up, he was still wondering if that girl had gotten pregnant with someone's child beforehand.
A moment later, Fa Zi and Xing Baohua came out of the bathroom.
Wei Laisong asked, "What's wrong with her? Don't be a sucker and take over her mess."
"What? A sucker who takes over a bad deal?" Xing Baohua was confused and didn't understand.
She vomited at me as soon as I opened the door. I wonder if she's pregnant with someone's child. I'll make sure you get a buy-one-get-one-free deal later.
"What are you talking about! I just accidentally poked too hard on the head last night, causing some kind of memory-related closed injury. It's nothing serious, I'll recover in a day or two," Xing Baohua said with a smile.
"Uh...you really know how to have fun. I was thinking of having you come with me today to buy some things for my family and friends," Wei Laisong said.
"There's nothing to improve. After we finish our business tomorrow, you can go out and buy some things. Don't worry, I'll cover the expenses. Just give me some RMB when you get home."
"When I heard it was on me, I thought you were very generous, but it turns out I'm the one who has to pay."
“You’re practically dirt on your body. If you’re a friend, I’ll take care of things for you. But taking your money is a sign of respect for your status. Do you understand, Comrade Wei Laisong?” Xing Baohua said.
"You're talking so seriously, it doesn't seem like you. What are the plans for today?"
"There's no plan. If you're feeling bored, you can take your secretary and translator out for a stroll. Just don't go too far; JD.com is quite big, and it's easy to get lost."
"What's wrong with my child? Alright, hurry up and change your clothes and go downstairs to eat! Hey you, can you still eat?" Wei Laisong asked, looking at Fa Zi who was combing her hair at the dressing table.
