Section 42 Leoni's Pilgrimage (Part 2)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 In the Wang Family Courtyard, in the Forbidden City, in the Great Wall, and in Donglaishun, Leonie was often so excited that she trembled all over and couldn't sleep at night. She dragged Huang Xin and Wang Aike to talk vigorously, and kept saying that she didn't want to leave.

After leaving, she would post her travel stories and photos on her blog every day. She didn’t know where she got so many blogger friends, but they left messages all the time.

However, Wang Ai only accompanied him for a long time, and was called by Gao Hongbo the next day. The national junior team was undergoing a small training camp for half a month, and then there was the warm-up match, and then until he went to Trinidad and Tobago in September,

Two months of intensive training. Lao Gao knew that Wang Ai had many things to do, so he met with Wang Ai to inform him of the schedule and coordinate some things. After a quick meeting, Wang Ai took Leonie to meet with his parents in Beijing. Wang Ai

Bin and Ai Xiaoqing's house is very close to Wang Ai's house, about a five-minute walk away. The decoration style is similar. After all, they are all done by a decoration company.

That evening, Leonie, who had changed into an ordinary German girl's attire and finally looked pleasing to the eye, arrived at Wang Bin's place with Wang Ai and Huang Xin.

Wang Ai introduced both parties, and Wang Bin smiled and nodded. He naturally knew about Leonie's affairs, including the joke she made about her clothes when she came to China.

Until now, Leonie didn't know what Wang Bin did, how big the company was, or even Wang Ai's specific club development plan. Wang Ai didn't tell her in detail, because it would always involve

The problem is money. If you have more money, you can do big things, if you have less money, you can do small things. If you don’t have money, you can only do nothing. Although Wang Ai’s plan is to lead the Tübingen youth to continue to upgrade to the Bundesliga in the 2001-02 season, and play in Germany like that

I was 15 years old when I was in B, and could initially adapt to the fiercely competitive professional competition. As a young man from Tübingen who had been upgraded in this way, I didn’t have to worry about the main position on the field or the relationship with my teammates. But if you come from home

If you can't get enough money, then the team will not be able to upgrade, and it will even be difficult to avoid relegation. Then Wang Ai will have to consider the issue of free transfer. In short, the team is your own, and you can follow the rules that are most beneficial to you.

For example, if Wang Ai does not want to get injured, he does not seek a large number of goals but promotes Allison as an arrow figure. For example, he hopes that the club's financial health will be healthy, and he will support Allison when he wants to leave.

Sell ​​it at a good price.

"Tell me how much money you want." Wang Bin got straight to the point.

"Han Xin ordered troops, the more the better." Wang Ai was also unambiguous.

"Last year, oh, last season, you spent 500,000 euros in exchange for a state championship and a regional league place. Now you want to win another regional championship and then be promoted to the second division? According to you

Say, the salary in the regional league is five times the salary in the state league, so based on this standard, you want 2.5 million euros this time? Is it 25 million yuan? "

"Okay." Wang Ai nodded indifferently.

"What do you mean?" Wang Bin said dissatisfied: "Seven or eight years ago, if I gave you two yuan, you would be happy for half a month. Now I give you 25 million, and you just nod? You are so lavish, and your family's money is

I will have to be tortured by you before I die!"

"How do you call it lavish?" Wang Ai said aggrievedly: "I am investing. Is investing good?"

"Investment?" Wang Bin sneered: "Where is the money back? Where is the return on investment?"

"No!" Wang Ai reached out and put the photo of the double champion on the table.

Wang Bin sneered: "I spent 5 million yuan and got a photo back? You tell me this is a return on investment? It's not enough for your photo to win the Pulitzer Prize!"

The father and son had a heated exchange, while Huang Xin and Leonie sat quietly.

"Okay, 25 million?" Wang Ai changed to a surprised expression: "Thank you so much, Manager Wang! Your investment will save the life of our club. You are the god of all members of our club! I represent..."

"Representative is a piece of shit!" Wang Bin slapped Wang Ai on the head with the "Reference News" on the table: "I haven't agreed to 25 million yet. If I give you this money, what are you going to give me back?"

Wang Ai happily drew big circles with both hands: "A big, big... photo!"

Wang Bin glared at Wang Ai and was silent for a moment: "Do you have to play football?"

Wang Ai nodded seriously: "We must kick."

"Okay, how much do you plan to ask for?"

"How many do you have at home?"

"What?" Wang Bin said in surprise: "You have a bottomless pit now? Your mother's and mine's money belongs to you. Yes, you can spend it as you like, but we can't just have fun in front of us, right?"

"No, no, I don't want to withdraw all the working capital, and I don't need much."

"Okay, let me settle the score with you first."

At this time, Leonie suddenly stood up, pointed outside, and said in Chinese: "Bathroom."

Wang Bin smiled and expressed his appreciation for the German girl's knowledge. Huang Xin also stood up and said that he would lead her there. Although Wang Bin, Wang Ai and his son did not want to go behind Huang Xin's back, it didn't matter. The following conversation was indeed

When it comes to family financial secrets, the fewer people who know about them, the better.

"My family doesn't have much money now. Last year, my family's net profit was about 1.1 billion. We built four new production bases for papermaking. Half of them are gone. We have to continue to invest in them in the future. The other half was thrown into the bottomless pit of the Internet. Basically, that's it.

Like this. The flower company has some money, and your mother will follow your instructions and either buy wasteland to build a planting base, or buy barren mountains to reserve production capacity for Stupid Food. If you scrape together tens of millions, you can put it out, and the systems are crowded.

It’s a squeeze, but if you think about it more, it’s gone.”

Wang Bin shook his head and said: "It's your fault, you spend too much money. The investment plan you left behind during the Chinese New Year has already been spent completely. The money you want now is only for the first few months of this year. This

It is a temporary expenditure and there is no budget for it, which is essentially a waste of money."

Wang Ai nodded: "I thought it was simple at the time. I only considered the issue of upgrade and did not consider the issue of club construction after the upgrade. Up to now, Tubingen Youth Football Club is still a grassroots team, and the management staff is not neatly equipped. Many of them have multiple positions for one person.

Still part-time. I am a student, the main player of the team, the club manager, and the head coach. Leonie is a student, the team leader, and part-time. If this doesn’t work, I can still make do in the low-level league and compete in the high-level league.

When it gets intense, I can't be busy at all. If one person can do one role well, that's good enough. In the second half of the game, I have clearly realized that I am increasingly unable to take on the roles of player and coach. The competition on the field requires

He is highly involved in the game and also takes into account tactical command, so no coach off the field can see clearly."

Wang Bin asked doubtfully: "Coach? As far as I know, the salary of a coach in Class A is only more than 1 million a year. Can your German regional league surpass Class A?"

Wang Ai shook his head: "Whether it's a coach or a player, their salary is not the big one. The real big one is the football stadium. I want to build a new stadium. The current stadium only has 3,500 seats, and there are a lot of people in each game."

Fans who have money can't buy tickets. The stadium must be regularized and the number of seats must be increased. This is a real investment, similar to real estate. Not to mention making a huge profit, there is still no problem in maintaining capital. Assuming that the team's performance is good,

The ticket revenue for each home game can also be considerable. For example, a 14,000-seat stadium can be basically full with an average ticket price of 20 euros according to my estimation. In this way, the revenue from one game is 280,000 euros. If you include ancillary

There is no problem in making profits through the development of themed hotels, restaurants, souvenir sales, stadium advertising, television broadcasts, sponsorships, etc. There is no regional league team in Tübingen, so Tübingen and the surrounding area within 50 kilometers

Nearly one million residents are potential consumers, and Baden is a wealthy state in Germany with strong spending power. Therefore, the club’s financial health can be expected. Also, after the stadium construction is completed, even if it is not needed in the future,

If you sell it, you won’t lose money.”

Wang Bin curled his lips and said, "Let's not talk about whether I can trust your so-called financial health. Let me ask you, how much will it cost to build this new stadium?"
