In Gao Shen's previous life, he once saw a dream stadium, which contained a set of 6,500 square meters of circular double-sided display screens, which served as the stadium's scoreboard and large screen, and could also be used to interact with the fans on site.
Gao Shen still remembers how shocked he was when he saw this large ring-shaped screen for the first time.
Later, when Florentino renovated the Bernabeu, he also designed a circular screen above the Bernabeu Stadium. It was only single-sided, but it was far less impressive than the circular double-sided screen at the SOFI Stadium in the United States.
When Gao Shen proposed this idea, Norman Foster, Su Qing and others were all at a loss.
Screens, they know, all the stadiums have them.
But what the heck is a circular double-sided screen?
Gao Shen couldn't hold back anymore, so he simply took the pen and paper from Norman Foster's hand and started drawing there.
He had no art skills and his painting skills were terrible, but he could draw the outlines of stands, venues, etc., and he introduced them as he drew them. Gradually, Norman Foster and others began to understand.
Soon, a designer from Norman Foster's team took over the pen and paper, and quickly hand-drawn the effect Gao Shen wanted.
At first glance, everyone felt their eyes lit up.
There is such a huge circular double-sided screen suspended in the middle of the stadium. It is really shocking.
It is also very friendly to fans in the stands. Regardless of the height of the stands, they can see the screen. Unlike today's large screens, which are quite unfriendly to fans in many areas.
But while everyone was shocked, they couldn't help but have some questions.
"Is this realistic?" Norman Foster asked.
This is a curved screen, and it has to be made into a ring shape.
"It is absolutely possible, and I dare say that our Chinese companies can do it." Gao Shen said proudly.
Leeds United's ring-shaped double-sided screen does not require mass production. It is completely a reflection of the company's scientific research and technical capabilities. It only needs to be made. Gao Shen firmly believes that it can be realized with the capabilities of the current domestic screen manufacturers.
The key is to give them such an opportunity to demonstrate their technology and scientific research capabilities!
Su Qing thought about it for a moment, then came over and told Gao Shen that she wanted to ask her classmates and friends from relevant domestic industries and government departments to learn about the situation in this regard.
Gao Shen told her about several companies, all of which will be famous in the future, and said with great certainty: "They will definitely be interested."
This is a rare opportunity to show your technical strength to the world!
You know, whenever there is a project like this, everyone's first reaction is to those two Korean companies.
But Gao Shen believes that domestic companies will also be able to do it.
Su Qing agreed and went out to make a phone call.
Gao Shen continued to study details, such as ventilation conditions, with Norman Foster and others.
Thanks to the separate design of the dome and the court, there is no problem with ventilation conditions.
There will also be ample retail and catering space inside the stadium, and there will be at least 150 luxury boxes, which will greatly increase Leeds United's match-day revenue.
In fact, the spending power of Leeds United fans is very strong. This can be seen from the fact that the team has fallen into low-level leagues in recent years, but the fans continue to buy tickets.
Once the team starts building a new stadium, it must maximize the consumption potential of fans.
About half an hour later, Su Qing came back from the phone call.
She learned over and over again that a college classmate worked in a leading domestic company. After listening to Su Qing's introduction, he believed that this was achievable, but how to achieve it needed careful study.
This is not just a problem with one display screen, but the entire display system.
"They are very interested in this project. I want Chinese companies to contact them. If we can cooperate in the form of sponsorship, we can completely leave it to domestic companies to do it." Su Qing suggested.
These words spoke deeply to my heart.
In fact, the technology and R&D capabilities of domestic companies are not bad, especially the leading company where Su Qing works.
"Okay, you can follow up on this matter."
Norman Foster also needs Leeds United to come up with a plan as soon as possible.
According to Gao Shen's idea, this huge ring-shaped double-sided screen is to be suspended directly above the stadium. This requires consideration of the weight and the load-bearing capacity of the stadium dome. These factors need to be taken into consideration during the design.
In addition, there are multimedia entertainment systems, intelligent management systems, WIFI, etc., all of which need to be designed and laid out in advance. There will be many partners from the Norman Foster design team, Leeds United sponsors, etc. to participate.
design.
This is a very large system project that cannot be completed overnight.
Therefore, the initial estimate is that it will take at least a year.
Even after construction starts in the future, modifications will need to be made based on actual conditions.
Once completed, this will surely become the most dreamy stadium in the world, especially the huge circular screen proposed by Gao Shen, which will surely conquer all fans.
Of course, the cost will also be quite impressive.
…
Leeds United had just contacted Norman Foster's team and had the first round of communication. The team there immediately released the news and even circulated several hand-drawn drawings, including one by Gao Shen.
A huge circular screen outlined.
This instantly caused a huge response on the Internet.
Fantasy! Sci-fi! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!
There were so many praises pouring in, and everyone couldn't believe that this was really Leeds United's new stadium.
But Leeds United have a reputation for this.
When the first draft of the new training base was released, many people were skeptical, but then the drawings came out and everyone was impressed, especially the design skills of Norman Foster's team.
Now, the same designer team has the same design concept, which is naturally convincing.
The Times even broke the news that the huge circular screen was an idea from Gao Shen, which further ignited the passion of fans.
These days, in the professional football circle, if you reach a high level, the popularity is rising rapidly.
Leeds United officials have secretly carried out some promotion and hype in order to hype up this project, attract potential sponsors and title sponsors, and at the same time attract investment for the shopping mall next to the stadium.
On the other hand, Leeds United is also intensively communicating with the Leeds City Government, hoping to get the approval as soon as possible.
This is also a time-consuming and laborious job. Su Qing is very experienced and prepared in advance.
At the same time, Lucas is also contacting British banks to prepare for the financing of the new stadium.
As long as the approval is obtained, the design is completed, and all aspects of work are in place, the new stadium can be constructed immediately.
And everyone is marveling at Leeds United's courage to make such continuous big moves.
The new training base has an investment of 70 to 80 million euros and has only been under construction for three months. Now the new stadium is already on the agenda. Even Manchester City, which is backed by a large financial backer, does not have such courage.
But everyone has to admit that Leeds United seems to have such confidence.
The net profit from transfers last summer was 100 million, and the net profit from transfers this summer is 300 million. Looking at this ability to attract money, few teams in European football can catch up.
More importantly, Leeds United is currently ranked tenth in the Premier League, and it seems that the possibility of relegation is not very high.
According to preliminary estimates by Su Qing and Lucas, based on the Premier League broadcast rights income this season, Leeds United will definitely be able to make a profit this season, which is probably due to the increase in Premier League broadcast rights.
If you plan carefully, you can definitely get 30 million euros.
Therefore, Leeds United has enough confidence to negotiate a loan with the bank.
However, these are not Gao Shen's headaches. He leaves them all to Amelia Su and Lucas.
…
After meeting with Norman Foster and others in London, Gao Shen set off back to Madrid.
Su Qing stayed in London and continued to deal with follow-up matters. Next, she would go to Leeds, and then depending on the situation, she might have to fly to China, mainly to attend to the new stadium.
After Gao Shen returned to Madrid, he began to devote himself to the work of Real Madrid.
As the World Cup qualifiers began, Real Madrid players also appeared one after another. Gao Shen and the coaching staff had their hearts raised in their throats, fearing that their players would be injured during the game.
But fortunately, Real Madrid's players were safe this time and there were no injuries, which made Gao Shen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He is really worried that players will get injured, which is very fatal.
However, since the players are not injured, this matter has to be put aside temporarily, but the player's condition needs to be paid attention to.
This is the work Gao Shen has entrusted to the second team of the coaching staff, and it is also the most important top priority next.
In the fourth round of La Liga, Real Madrid will challenge Villarreal away from home, which will be a tough battle.
After the Yellow Submarine was relegated to La Liga in 2012, it only took one year to return to La Liga.
Nowadays, the overall strength of this team is not weak. After three rounds of play, it ranks eleventh in La Liga.
But Gao Shen clearly remembers that this team performed very well under Marcelino's coaching.
Marcelino became famous in the first battle at Villarreal. Not only did he spend half a season bringing this La Liga team that had no hope of promotion to La Liga, but he also became a famous dark horse and strong team in La Liga.
.
Marcelino has thus become a prestigious new generation coach in Spain.
After playing Villarreal, Real Madrid will go away again to challenge Anderlecht in Belgium.
This is the first game of the Champions League group stage. Real Madrid wants to qualify from the top spot in the group stage, so they must win the game against Anderlecht, otherwise, they will be very passive in the following games.
Especially in the competition with Manchester United.
What's more, after the two giant teams, there is a pharmaceutical company Bayer Leverkusen that is eyeing it.
This Bundesliga team is not a fuel saver either.
After the national team game, there will be two consecutive away games, which will also be a big challenge for Real Madrid.
Gao Shen must handle various relationships, especially adjusting the players' physical fitness and condition.
