After Francisco finished talking with Coubertin, he immediately met with FIFA President Daniel.
"Mr. Daniel, are you here for the World Cup?"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Grand Duke."
Daniel, of course, also saw Brazil's first World Cup on the news and felt its influence immediately.
The newspaper reports about Brazil's World Cup made Daniel feel that Brazil is very wealthy. The report also said that the King of Brazil will host the World Cup next.
The popularity of the World Cup in Brazil and the wealth of King Pedro III of Brazil made Daniel very excited and excited.
Regarding the World Cup, FIFA has never thought about it.
As early as the birth of FIFA, Robert Guerin, the first president of FIFA, planned the World Cup, but only a few member states responded, and the plan failed in the end.
FIFA is not as wealthy as later generations. Now it has only a few members and its finances are also very tight.
The World Cup in later generations is the only large-scale world sports event that can be as famous as the Olympic Games. FIFA is also very heroic and domineering, and it is not comparable to the Olympic Committee.
The Olympic Games, in Tang Ning's era, felt like they were in the sunset, but the World Cup was indeed becoming more and more popular.
There is a high probability of losses in the Olympics, but huge profits can be made in the World Cup.
Every time they compete to host the World Cup, countries all over the world try their best to steal, cheat, and bribe, just to get the right to host the World Cup. They use various methods.
Among them, the most shameless South Korean, Zheng xx, took advantage of various opportunities to turn the originally scheduled World Cup in Japan into the World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
The World Cup in Japan and South Korea is simply a shame of the World Cup.
King Pedro III of Brazil was so wealthy and passionate about football that Daniel sensed an opportunity.
FIFA is not well-known now, but the World Cup is now starting. If FIFA can participate, it will definitely be a big profit.
"His Majesty Pedro III really loves football.
I have never seen a person like him, spending money alone just to host a global football games.
It costs so much money and effort, I can feel it, it must be huge."
Of course you can feel it.
The prize money alone is 50,000 pounds, and in the end, a replica of the Champion Competitor’s Gold Cup and a five-pound Competitor Silver Cup will be given away.
Although this silver cup is not made of pure silver and is mixed with other metals, it is not cheap, not to mention its potential value?
When the winner gets it, it represents real glory.
In addition to the official accounts, Tangning was also involved in the qualifiers, providing venues and personnel services, which also cost money.
In order to successfully host this World Cup, Downing needs more than just 50,000 pounds and a trophy. The venue and personnel also need financial support.
Although he sells tickets, in order to make it easier for the Brazilian people to reach out, Tang Ning sells the tickets at a very low price. In order to take care of people who cannot enter the stadium, he also arranges loudspeaker broadcasts outside the football stadium.
Effort and reward are not directly proportional.
Of course, Tangning doesn't ask for any profit in return, she just wants to gain influence.
"Mr. Daniel, you are right.
This time Downing spent nearly 100,000 pounds to host the World Cup!"
"Oh my God!
A World Cup actually costs 100,000 pounds, which is really luxurious."
Daniel couldn't calm down when he heard about one hundred thousand pounds. This amount of money is more expensive than the entire FIFA.
FIFA, with its development to this day, can spend all the money it has, even thirty thousand pounds is enough, and it can't even compare with the bonuses.
The total expenditure for a World Cup is 100,000 pounds, which directly costs five FIFAs. What an exaggeration.
How does this work?
Originally, Daniel was still confident that he could participate in the World Cup organization.
However, after hearing the news of one hundred thousand pounds, he suddenly lost confidence. The money from FIFA was not enough to hold the World Cup.
You know, Tangning is not just hosting the Football World Cup this time, he has also changed some football rules.
It can be said that what Tangning did was exactly what FIFA should have done, and they fulfilled their responsibilities.
Although FIFA was established early, it is still shabby!
The newspaper made it very clear that the King of Brazil is not planning to hold the event just once, but his goal is to hold it every four years like the Olympics.
Even if the situation is good and football fans are enthusiastic, it can be done once every two years.
In order to promote his beloved football, the Brazilian king is very generous. He is already establishing an International Football Association to promote the World Cup.
The next World Cup will be held in various places. The next World Cup will be held in Luxembourg, Europe, in 1910.
Luxembourg is the center of Western Europe and a place with convenient transportation. If the World Cup in Luxembourg is held well, FIFA can be dissolved.
Compared with FIFA, FIFA is nothing.
FIFA has only been established for five years, and its contribution is not as great as that of the World Cup. Its influence is comparable to that of FIFA.
As long as the World Cup becomes more and more influential, football fans around the world will no longer recognize FIFA.
"Your Excellency Francis.
I wonder if His Majesty King Pedro III of Brazil knows about the existence of FIFA?"
Daniel asked this question with a feeling of apprehension,
"This kid Tangning has gone to America a long time ago. I don't know if he knows about the existence of FIFA!?"
Oops!
This was Daniel's first thought.
If the King of Brazil does not know the existence of FIFA, it would be too dangerous.
And even if the King of Brazil knows about it now, there is actually nothing Daniel can do because the International Football Association has been established.
This time, Daniel came here to discuss cooperation.
At present, FIFA's biggest advantage is that it has many members in Europe, but these members are not mandatory.
If FIFA expands to Europe, FIFA will not have the ability to control the football associations of various countries, and it will not have the power to do so.

FIFA is not the father of each national football association. It is very weak today.
"I don't know, what does Mr. Francisco think of FIFA?"
Daniel is a very qualified leader. He saw the crisis, but he also tried his best to find a rescue method.
"Tang Ning and I are different. I don't play football. What I like is golf and I don't know much about FIFA."
Francisco's words are true. As a nobleman, he prefers golf.
Although football is the largest sport in the world, it does not mean that as an aristocrat, he will like this civilian sport, and there is no obligation to ask him to like it.
The ball games that nobles like are different from those of common people. They usually prefer polo and golf.
"However, my child is different from me. He likes to play various civilian ball games.
Football is just one of them.
Tangning also likes cricket, baseball, basketball, and even hockey. He likes all kinds of ball games, and he wants to promote them all."
"Is it like hosting a World Cup in football?" Daniel asked tentatively.
"Yes.
My son believes that sports, especially ball games, are very beneficial to human health. He is happy to promote various ball games to the world, including people on all continents.
To this end, he is preparing to establish a world federation of football associations in Luxembourg, the center of Western Europe."
Faced with the question, Francisco nodded in agreement and gave an affirmative answer.
"Of course, Downing has a very favorable impression of those organizations that promote various ball games.
If he knew about the existence of FIFA, I think he would be happy and would be willing to support it and hope that it would participate in his plan."
Francisco's words made him, who was completely lost, feel the existence of hope again.
The so-called FIFA is now more strictly speaking UEFA. In fact, UEFA is not very rigorous because not all European countries are involved.
"His Majesty Pedro III is truly an excellent monarch who loves sports and has a heart for the world."
Daniel first praised Tangning, and then revealed his willingness to participate in this great plan.
"The World Football Association is such a great ideal.
Your Excellency Francisco, I would like to ask the European FIFA to also participate. I wonder if His Majesty Pedro III would welcome it?"
"I think Tangning will welcome you very much!"
