As a standard Virgo, one is still very pursuing the advanced.
When he was a worker in his previous life, when his colleagues who were buying houses together were still buying decoration plans from decoration companies and owner groups, he was willing to spend tens of thousands of yuan to invite professional designers to build his dream house for himself.
Not only that, he couldn't trust the decoration company, so he personally found a reliable master and followed the decoration progress personally.
What's interesting is that the result he spent a lot of energy on was amazed by a neighbor in the community who came to visit by chance. He took a photo and posted it to the owner group, which aroused heated discussions. Many people liked it and some didn't.
More.
The reason is actually very simple. Some people think it is not worth spending so much money and energy to decorate in a minimalist style.
Gao Shen never participates in this kind of discussion, and never even defends it, because he knows that aesthetics is very subjective and people have different opinions. As long as you like everything.
Just like now.
Norman Foster's design, although only a hand drawing was given, he liked it very much.
The budget is higher than other teams, that's normal.
If nothing else, Norman Foster's design fees are much higher than those of other design companies.
It doesn't make much sense to calculate these.
Can Leeds United afford this expense?
The answer is, absolutely yes.
That's okay, Gao Shen made the decision on the spot, let's do it!
At the same time, Fernando Lucas will focus on investment promotion in the next period of time, hoping to attract title sponsorship, which can greatly reduce the financial pressure on the club.
Leeds United is a famous sports brand, and Gao Shen and Norman Foster have joined forces. How many such sponsorships are there in the world?
Gao Shen believes that there will always be some people who know the goods and can see the value in them.
Even if not, then just close the door and enjoy it by yourself.
…
After talking with Norman Foster's team, the design of the training base has begun to move to the next step.
Leeds United also has to start preparing to pay the next payment, but this is not a big problem for the team because summer transfer revenue has always been stable.
After returning to Leeds from London, Gao Shen made a special trip to the Thorpe Arch training base to meet with department heads and employees.
Gao Shen is very satisfied with the team's current performance and encourages everyone to keep up the good work.
When the team performs well, everyone is happy, but the management pressure also increases.
This is like what many people have said, reaching the Champions League finals or even winning the Champions League is not necessarily a good thing.
How big your head is and what hat you wear, this is the right way.
Now, Leeds United's hat is a bit too big.
Gao Shen made a request to Lucas that the team's investment must be accelerated.
As the team's performance improves, the revenue must keep up. Only in this way can we retain people. Otherwise, by next summer, we will have to sell them all every minute.
Renew?
If there is not enough revenue, once the contract is renewed, the salary expenses will rise all of a sudden. Once the team's performance drops and the income drops, it will immediately suffer a big loss.
There are many such examples, such as Everton.
This team has not made much progress until now because it was too strong when it competed for the Champions League.
In contrast, Tottenham Hotspur are much more pragmatic, climbing up step by step and laying a solid foundation.
"Actually, there is no need to wait until next year, the winter break this summer will come." Lucas said with a wry smile.
"You know what? We have only conceded three goals in the Premier League so far. What is the concept?"
"Manchester City have lost four and are second in the table, Stoke City have lost five and are 13th, Manchester United, who are third, have lost nine, and Chelsea, who are first, have lost seven.
indivual."
"Two days ago, Chelsea contacted us and inquired about the possibility of Koulibaly transferring during the winter break."
After Lucas finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly, "There are also Pogba, Incardi, Kurzawa and so on. Now they have received a lot of attention. Everyone treats us as a piece of fat."
Meat stares like that."
Gao Shen, Zidane, Carlo and others couldn't help but burst out laughing.
They can all imagine the difficulty of Lucas being caught in the middle.
The way for Leeds United to survive is to sell people, but to be honest, if they keep selling like this, the pressure on the club operators is still very high.
Especially, once the performance drops, the problem is really serious.
But it is amazing to say that no matter how Leeds United sells people, there are always people to support them.
For example, after Courtois went to Real Madrid, Navas performed well this season.
The national goalkeeper of Costa Rica had always had little reputation before this season. However, he has started to emerge this season and has repeatedly made outstanding contributions.
Pogba performed well last season. After Paulinho left this season, he took up the offensive banner of the team's midfield and performed even better. The key is that even the substitute Kondogbia
He often showed his bravery.
In comparison, Alan and Jorginho have been overshadowed. Although they have received a lot of recognition, they are not very eye-catching.
This is also a normal phenomenon. Offensive players have always been favored.
Gao Shen could understand why other teams were eyeing Leeds United. After all, Leeds United's players were young and capable, so they were naturally eye-catching, but he still reminded Lucas.
"Don't sell people during the winter break."
"I know that now the team needs stability. Even if it performs well in the first half, the pressure will be greater in the second half. I am also trying to appease the players and agents and don't want to sell people during the winter break."
"No, no, no, this is just part of it, mainly the World Youth Championship in Turkey next summer."
Lucas and Borrell looked at each other and laughed, "You and we are all thinking together."
Leeds United is mainly composed of young players, and many players in the team are players of the World Youth Championship, including England, Egypt, Croatia and France. On the contrary, Spain, the favorite this time, currently does not have a Leeds United international player.
Bellerin was born in 1995, so he is not old enough to catch up with this trend.
But as for England and France, the players in these two national youth teams all have Leeds United players, including Harry Kane, Maguire, Pogba, Kurzawa, Koulibaly, and Kondogbia.
Wait, and they are all the main players.
French media previously broke the news that Leeds United’s youth team has gathered half of the French national youth team.
Judging from the current situation and assessment, Spain is the favorite, but the French team may not have no chance.
As long as Leeds United players perform well in the World Youth Championship, it will definitely be a bonus. When that time comes, the player's value will soar further, especially under the current situation where player values are generally rising.
"There is news that Paris Saint-Germain is now following up on the World Youth Championship and the French National Youth Team." Borrell reported.
Just like the Premier League team wants to collect local players with local household registration, Paris Saint-Germain also needs a group of French local players with superior strength. From the current point of view, as long as the players perform well, they will be immediately targeted by Paris Saint-Germain.
For Leeds United, who should they sell?
But selling people during the winter break is not worth it.
If left until the end of the season, given the player's age, unless there is a sudden serious injury, there is basically no possibility of devaluation in the short term. However, if he performs well in the World Youth Championship, his value will explode.
However, specific situations must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
For example, in the two World Youth Championships in 2005 and 2007, Messi and Aguero both performed well. In these two World Youth Championships, many young talents emerged, and the values of each of them skyrocketed.
It was held in Egypt in 2009 and in Colombia in 2011. The best players in these two World Youth Championships were Ghana's Aditya and Brazil's Enrique Almeida, who won the championship.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】
Among them, after Aditya moved to AC Milan, he didn't get a chance and soon disappeared from everyone.
Enrique Almeida, who won the best player and top scorer in the last tournament, almost went to Queens Park Rangers after the World Youth Championship, but was restricted by his labor certificate and failed to do so. As a result, he is still in Brazil.
Domestic effectiveness.
Whether it is Lucas or Borrell, they are very confident in the young players in the Leeds United team, especially people like Pogba, Salah, Brozovic and others. Their strength
There are no problems with them, and they have all played in the Premier League.
Therefore, as long as they perform well in the World Youth Championship, their value will immediately rise sharply.
Under such circumstances, how stupid would Leeds United be to sell people during the winter break?
Gao Shen knew more than them, because in his previous life, France won the World Youth Championship, and Pogba won the World Youth Championship's best player, which made him famous.
Nowadays, Pogba gets the opportunity to train earlier than Gao Shen in his previous life, progresses faster and is stronger. In this case, coupled with Kurzawa, Kondogbia and Koulibaly
Everyone is playing for the same team and joining forces, the current French team is worth looking forward to.
No matter what, at least the value will definitely increase.
"Don't worry, I have already talked with the players and agents. Transfers during the winter break are also very risky for them, especially since the players are currently in a period of rapid improvement. If the transfer is not ideal,
, it’s likely to be broken.”
Borrell is retaining these players in the team from the perspective of their career development.
At least they won’t be sold during the winter break!
Gao Shen also breathed a sigh of relief, proving that his two executives were getting more and more into the zone, and he could rest assured.
…
After that, they talked about things again, mainly about team management and the preparation of the training base.
Fernando Lucas plans to go to China in person in the near future. Su Qing cannot accompany him this time, but she has entrusted domestic classmates and friends to help make connections. At present, the largest engineering contractor in China is also interested in following.
Leeds United are interested in the partnership.
For domestic contractors, such cooperation can quickly enhance their brand image in Europe, create better conditions for further business development, and also help Leeds United save money.
But many things are still being discussed, and we need to wait for Lucas to come to China for further negotiations.
Gao Shen took Su Qing, Zidane and Carlo to stay at Leeds United for a day, then returned to Cheshire for a night and met some old friends.
Just as they were preparing to return to Madrid, they suddenly received a piece of bad news.
