Chapter 1035 This is the most important thing!
Accompanied by the shrill sound of aircraft tires rubbing against the airport's concrete runway, a private Boeing plane slowly landed at Barcelona International Airport.
Following the airport's instructions and guidance, the plane landed on the apron.
Soon, five black-bodied Lagonda Conquerors drove onto the apron and parked in a straight row next to the private jet. At first glance, they looked quite impressive.
When the cabin door opened, Yang Huan walked out with a smile.
Following behind him was Long Wu, followed by Sun Yue, Zhao Yuanfang, Peter Kenyon and others.
There were at least a dozen people in the group, who got off the plane one after another.
"Master Huan!"
The person who came to pick them up at the airport was Beijing Guo'en team's chief executive officer Fang Wei, and the pick-up vehicle was the reception car provided by the hotel.
Since Aston Martin launched the Lagonda sub-brand, sales have been rising steadily, especially in China. In just a few years, it has made rapid progress and become the best-selling top-level car series, sought after by wealthy people all over the world.
Not only that, Lagonda's Conqueror is also used as a special reception car by more and more top hotels around the world, which shows its luxury.
As Master Huan stepped off the plane, he saw Fang Wei in a well-dressed suit and immediately came up to him with a smile, "Boss Fang!"
Fang Wei's face immediately turned green, and he quickly waved his hands and shook his head, "Master Huan, stop making fun of me, just call me Xiao Fang, all the generals and not generals are nothing in front of Master Huan!"
When Yang Huan heard this, he thought, hey, that's interesting. He then looked at Sun Yue, who was frowning and making a secret signal.
"I say, Old Sun, why are all the people you taught flatterers?"
Sun Yue's face and head were covered in sweat. He had something to hide, so how could he dare to refute?
Everyone just laughed it off. Who is this Sun Yue now?
Although Miracle Media does not have as many high-quality football resources as Miracle Football Group, it now holds the agency rights for major international events such as the five major European leagues, the Champions League, the International Champions Cup, the European Cup and the World Cup.
Just based on this point, it is not an exaggeration to say that if Sun Yue sneezes, the football world will catch a cold.
The only person in the world who could point at Sun Yue and call him a bootlicker was Young Master Huan.
But there are also a few people who know clearly that Sun Yue’s current status is entirely due to Young Master Huan.
When they climbed the 6-foot-tall mountain together, who knew who Sun Yue was?
"Fang Wei, you've done a good job in Guo'en!" Yang Huan waved his hand and called Fang Wei over.
This guy is Sun Yue's right-hand man, otherwise, Sun Yue would not have arranged this guy to work in Miracle Media China branch.
Therefore, this kid did a really good job in Beijing Guoen and handled every aspect well.
"Work hard, and I will never treat you unfairly!" Young Master Huan encouraged.
"Master Huan, rest assured. I will do my best!" Fang Wei thanked him immediately.
With Master Huan's words, Fang Wei probably has a bright future ahead of him.
"By the way, I asked you to talk to the union before. How is the situation?" Yang Huan asked with concern.
The trade union, which is the ownership body of the Workers' Stadium, has to be convinced if anyone wants to acquire this prime piece of land.
If the union doesn't agree, this show won't go on.
"Master Huan, I haven't talked to the union yet."
"Never talked about it?" Fang Wei's words were a little beyond Yang Huan's expectations.
"Yes!" Fang Wei was not afraid at all that Master Huan would blame him for dereliction of duty, and seemed very calm.
"Why?" Yang Huan frowned, he needed an explanation.
He is not a barbaric and domineering person. As long as his subordinates can give a reasonable explanation, he can accept it.
"Master Huan, I have learned about the situation. I think the Workers' Stadium is right there. It cannot escape and no one can take it away."
Yang Huan nodded, thinking that what he said did make sense and there was no need to be too anxious about this matter.
"What we need most now is the support of the government, and I am absolutely sure of that."
The Beijing Municipal Government and the district government where the Workers' Stadium is located have planned to develop the sports industry for this area and want to turn it into a sports center for Beijing. This should be the source of Fang Wei's confidence.
"I have communicated with leaders at various levels. They are very interested in the football theme park and believe that it will benefit the country. They are willing to strongly support it and can fully incorporate our theme park into the overall planning of the government."
Yang Huan now began to understand what Fang Wei meant. Smart people do things with less worry.
"What I mean is that we should first slowly open up other links and form a unified situation, and then negotiate with the unions. That should be much easier. If we can also win policy support, we will be more confident."
Yang Huan nodded repeatedly. This approach was indeed more appropriate and more feasible.
If we can get strong support from the government, it will be not only convenient to obtain land, but the price will definitely be cheap, which is equivalent to half buying and half giving away.
Otherwise, how much would a piece of land of several hundred acres in a prime location on the second ring road of Beijing cost?
Are you kidding? That’s truly an astronomical figure!
"You go and take care of this!" Yang Huan pointed at Fang Wei and said.
"For the next period of time, I will try to stay out as little as possible. You will be fully responsible and report to me at any time."
Fang Wei understood what Master Huan meant.
If he can handle it, Young Master Huan will give him full responsibility.
Even in the next few years, the entire football theme park will be handed over to him.
This is no joke. A business worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. Especially considering that once the football theme park is completed, it will have all kinds of shops and shopping centers. The income from this alone is quite astonishing.
It should be said that this is also a borderline case.
Although the planning of the football theme park includes a series of facilities such as professional football fields, indoor football fields, children's football fields and football cultural exhibitions, there are also some commercial facilities that will definitely attract investment.
Yang Huan attaches great importance to the football theme park, because it will be the century-old foundation of Beijing Guoen.
“By the way, while promoting the football theme park plan, we must also speed up the implementation of our campus plan. We should not be afraid of investing more, but must implement it as soon as possible and develop a complete set of effective and orderly operation mechanisms.”
"I understand!" Fang Wei nodded.
The Campus Plan is a plan that Jingcheng Guoen has launched a long time ago. It cooperates with schools in surrounding areas. Professional coaches and former professional players go into schools to teach children how to play football for fun. At the same time, it also creates activities such as football interest classes and summer camps.
The purpose of these activities is not for youth training, but to attract more children to like football and sports.
It should be said that this plan of Beijing Guo'en is quite in line with the current domestic situation, and at the same time it does not have the utilitarianism of youth training of professional teams. Therefore, Yang Huan decided to continue to increase investment and continue to promote it.
God knows whether any of these kids will become professional players in the future?
Besides, such plans and investments are indeed helpful to the image of Beijing Guo'en. If a football theme park is really launched in the future, there will not be much controversy from the outside world.
Yang Huan was satisfied with Fang Wei's report. After praising him a few words, he saw that the time was almost up, so he immediately got into a Lagonda Conqueror in the middle.
He also specifically asked Fang Wei to ride in the same car, as he had some questions he wanted to know.
As soon as the car door was closed, the Conqueror started and headed towards the city of Barcelona.
The training ground for Beijing Guoan's training camp in Barcelona was arranged by Pochettino. It is the former home ground of the Espanyol team, Barcelona's Olympic Stadium, which is very close to the airport.
The hotel we stayed in was to the west of the stadium, not far from the Renaissance Convention Center, which is known as the top hotel with the most design and artistic atmosphere in Spain.
Beijing Guoan has sent a lot of people to the training camp in Spain this time. They directly booked three floors of the hotel. At the same time, facilities such as the gym and swimming pool are also exclusively for Beijing Guoan's use during specific times.
According to Fang Wei, Beijing Guoan's training camp in Spain this time, whether it is the treatment standards of the players or the level of the warm-up match opponents, is considered to be quite high, and the players are quite satisfied with it.
"As long as they are satisfied, the most important thing is that the players are satisfied and can devote themselves to the training camp. This is the most important thing."
Yang Huan's words made Fang Wei nod his head continuously and keep them in mind.
"Also, it's not easy for players to train alone. You can make some arrangements to allow players' girlfriends and family members to visit them. As for the expenses, our club will pay for it. We must give the players the best."
"I understand." Fang Wei nodded again.
"How is Pochettino?" Yang Huan asked with concern.
This should be the thing that worries him the most. He came to Barcelona in person just for this matter.
"The domestic players just arrived today, and Pochettino has not officially met them yet, but he met with foreign players such as Ibrahimovic, Xabi Alonso, Kaka and John Terry yesterday and talked for a long time."
Yang Huan hummed and nodded.
"I was not there at the time, but I heard that he took the initiative to find Bielsa and asked Bielsa to accompany him. Later, I asked Bielsa about it and he said that they didn't talk about anything, just some ideas about how to build the team and how to use the players. The atmosphere of the conversation was very good and harmonious."
Yang Huan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Pochettino is a smart man and of course knows the importance of these four big-name foreign players to the team.
Although they have not kidnapped the team, at least these four foreign players will be the backbone of the team in the new season. It is crucial for him to bring out the strength of these four foreign players.
Yang Huan believes that Bielsa should have mentioned these things to his apprentice.
From the fact that Pochettino took the initiative to communicate with the four foreign players as soon as he arrived, it is not difficult to see that he is not the kind of person who is stubborn and insists on maintaining the airs of a head coach. Presumably, his relationship with the players should not be bad.
To be frank, in today's football world, whether in China or in Europe, the history of the head coach forming a team entirely according to his own wishes is over. Even in England, with the emergence of a series of director titles such as technical director and football director, the power of the head coach has been weakened a lot.
Just like Leicester City, which currently firmly occupies the second place in the English League, this down-and-out team has been shining this season.
Up to now in the English League, the team chasing Southampton is not Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Arsenal and other teams, but Leicester City.
This really surprised fans all over the world.
However, the tinkerer Ranieri does not have the power to recruit players in this team and can only provide advice. As for who to buy and who to sell, he basically cannot make decisions.
This is also a necessity.
Because of the style of head coaches monopolizing power in the English league in the past, many fans have been blinded by the success stories of Ferguson and Wenger, but have completely failed to notice that behind the two successful cases are countless bones.
There are too many scandals, such as the black money scandal and the agent scandal.
Therefore, the most challenging ability for the head coach now is how to make good use of the lineup in hand, integrate it into a team, and achieve the best results.
It can be seen that Pochettino understands this deeply!
