What truly angered Xing Baohua was that even the foreign players he hired with huge sums of money couldn't get into the A-level league.
Xing Baohua never imagined that just going out to participate in a few competitions would cost him nearly two million yuan. Even if he ate sea cucumber and abalone every day, he couldn't possibly spend it all!
Wei Laisong stammered, "The final match depends on the other two teams?"
Upon hearing this, Xing Baohua immediately understood.
What is the theoretical preliminary round? It's not just about winning the game; it also depends on the performance of other teams. If one or two strong teams underperform, then the Luzhong Rice team gets a further chance.
A team can spend 500,000 to buy just one qualifying spot.
For a B-League team, 500,000 is a windfall.
Singers and celebrities in China are just starting out, earning money through gigs, endorsements, and so on. But sports stars are not yet like that; they live off their salaries and bonuses.
The professional league had just been piloted when capital, represented by Wei Laisong, intervened.
All crows are black; where there's capital, there's manipulation. But how will a fledgling league make a profit? Will it rely on television broadcasting revenue or ticket sales?
To be honest, without Wei Laisong, every league in China would be clean. We admit our technical skills aren't great, but we play cleanly, without all that messy stuff.
When capital comes in, even Wang, the richest man in China, can't keep up with the complaints. Those who can't afford to play the game are shedding tears.
Uncle Benshan threw in 50 million, and none of the board members knew who they were. They ignored his pre-match encouragement and put on a show for him.
They're veteran actors, can't they tell you're putting on a show on the court?
"I'll let it go this time, but when it comes to the A-League, we'll compete on skill and ability. I'd rather spend a lot of money to hire foreign players than buy a spot. If there's a next time, I'll personally send you in," Xing Baohua said seriously.
"But what if they want to play?"
"You won't let them go bankrupt! Score more goals, overwhelm them with skill. In the face of absolute skill, all tricks and tricks are futile."
Wei Laisong smiled and said to Xing Baohua, "You're really naive. Alright, I'll pay attention to these things in the future, but you have to promise me one thing: I'll reward the players handsomely, so they won't want to spend other people's money!"
“Okay,” Xing Baohua nodded in agreement. This was one way to do it.
Unfortunately, most of the time, it's just wishful thinking on their part. The "clean ball" only lasts for a few years.
“The window of opportunity has opened in winter, so I’ll go out for a stroll. Also, Mr. Shi does have some shortcomings in his abilities, and I’m thinking about whether we should replace him.”
"No need. Uncle Shi is still quite capable; it's just that our current players are holding him back. Give him a period in the A-level league. It's good for you to go out and see what's good, and keep an eye out for good coaches. In case Uncle Shi gets sacked, there will be a replacement."
"Now that we've been promoted to Jia A, how about we invite a few famous foreign teams for a friendly match?"
"Do you want to embarrass yourself in front of the whole world?"
