Chapter 37: The Chinese Team in the Korea-Japan World Cup in a Different Time and Space



Xiao Zhen and Ivanka Trump landed at Narita Airport in Japan on the 30th with their two 10-month-old cute babies. A group of 9 cars drove to the mansion near the Imperial Palace that they bought 16 years ago.

On the same day, the Chinese men's football team qualified for the World Cup finals for the first time.

They also landed at Narita Airport. After attending the opening ceremony tomorrow, they will fly to South Korea to prepare for the competition. Their opponents will be Costa Rica, Türkiye and Brazil.

Two 949 aircraft landed at the airport one after the other at the same time. Xiao Zhen's private plane was in front and the Chinese national team landed behind. This business jet was purchased with a loan from the Chinese Football Association for the men's and women's football teams to go out for games.

In the 1999 Women's World Cup, the Chinese team's "铿锵玫瑰" (Chinese Steel Roses) won the second place in the World Cup. As a result, the country allocated financial funds to professionalize women's football. In the women's football A-League, the Shanghai People's War Gods women's team has dominated for two and a half years.

That is, 80% of the players of the team that won the second place in the Women's World Cup were from the People's Women's Football Team. After winning the second place.

Xiao Zhen's mother rewarded the participating female team members in accordance with the club's regulations, just like the male team. Each of them was a multi-millionaire and bought a big house in Shanghai. This let the young players in the team know that as long as they perform well, the club will really be willing to give them bonuses.

The team of "Zhuchang" has never been short of money, and the funding for men's and women's teams is the same. After the professionalization began in 2000, the basic salary of the main players of the women's team was increased by 30,000 to 50,000 yuan per month because many of them are members of the national team.

After the women's team won the Women's Football League A Championship in the first year, the club also awarded them an additional 50 million in cash.

This made many people in China who didn't know the purpose of playing football feel jealous and criticized the People's Team for playing "money football".

However, as the leading national livestock and food processing enterprise, Baixing Industrial Group does not pay attention to these sarcastic voices.

Baixing Group released an official announcement on its official Weibo account "Zhu Duoduo" stating that "some individual companies that are poorly managed and have poor performance are not suitable for the professional competitive sports industry!" This is a statement showing off its wealth.

Attached at the end was a tax payment certificate of Baixing Group over the years, which instantly silenced the crowd of people who were trying to stir up trouble.

With annual revenues of no less than 100 billion RMB since 1995 and no less than 200 billion RMB in 2000, the club's annual funding of 1 billion RMB from the group was a tiny fraction, unlike the top teams of the time who were still relying on government grants and subsidies.

Similarly, this Chinese team is composed of three parts of players: those who play football abroad in Europe, the People's Men's Football Team, and those selected from other teams.

Among those who play football abroad in Europe and in world-class clubs, 90% of the main players are from the People's Team, and the other 10% are incredibly talented football players.

For example, the jar-cut Li who played as a substitute in Everton has only become a substitute for the national team this time. He is not good enough as a main player.

As soon as we landed, we saw a China Airlines VIP plane with the same chord number 949, with eight SUVs and two Romeo bulletproof executive sedans coming out of the back.

The national men's football team members on the 949 business jet were envious, and gossip lovers were asking who this person was who was so rich that he used the 949 wide-body passenger plane as a private jet.

As soon as Li Wenhua saw Xiao Zhen pushing the stroller, he knew that it was his boss's eldest son, his former boss Xiao Zhen.

So Li Wenhua said that the plane was manufactured by the boss of the world's fastest man, famous writer and scientist Xiao Zhen, who owned the private plane.

"Oh my god, didn't they say he was serving in the Air Force?" Li Guogaitou said enviously.

"He and his wife boarded the train first and bought their tickets later. They were working on a highly classified project, so he was retired and returned home to manage his massive assets. He's the absolute majority shareholder of China Airlines, which just merged this year. This is just one of his businesses. He also holds the absolute majority stake in the Baixing Industrial Group," Li Wenhua explained.

"Captain, this is your former boss, right?" a Liverpool player said.

"Isn't he your former boss?" Li Wenhua nodded and said

The pot-cut guy said enviously: "It would be great if I could play in Europe for another two or three years and then come back to China to play for the People's Club!"

Li Wenhua and a group of former and future members of the People's Team looked at the pot cover and said nothing, because they thought this guy was a substitute among substitutes.

I guess the People's Team looks down on these over-age players and thinks they are all world-class midfield masters like their captain Li Wenhua?

Li Wenhua pouted. As the captain of the national team, he endured it so as not to affect the unity of the team. Then he asked the players to pack their personal luggage. The team leader called to say that the bus was waiting outside, so everyone packed their luggage and prepared to get off the plane...

The Imperial Palace house in Xiaozhen is too small. Actually, it is not small at 120 pings, which is more than 1,200 square meters. However, there are too many assistants and bodyguards who came with them this time, so half of the group moved into the Tokyo Paradise Center.

On the other hand, I heard that from the upper floors of the hotel, you can see the "canal in the sky" overlooking the top luxury residential complex Forest City, and you can even play rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets to live there.

Xiao Zhen said that since everyone was interested, they could take turns coming over the next two days.

The next day, the opening ceremony of the Korea-Japan World Cup officially kicked off. Xiao Zhen sat in the VIP seats and watched the opening ceremony and the opening match. The two cute kids really liked the noise and kept shouting "oh oh oh" along with the Chinese fans.

The next day, Xiao Zhen's family visited the Tokyo Paradise Center and enjoyed the view of the canal in the sky. They also went to the amusement park for half a day and then drove to the airport. They followed the Chinese team's bus into the airport, but Xiao Zhen's private plane flew first. Xiao Zhen's family flew to Seoul, and a group of people stayed in Xiao Zhen's mansion in Gangnam District, Seoul.
