Of course, Wu Dong going abroad cannot be as simple as buying a club.
You know, most of the overseas box office of the three "Kung Fu Doctor" series in recent years has been placed in overseas accounts.
All in all, it's almost 20 million U.S. dollars.
He wanted to see if his idea could be realized?
At the beginning of this year, Apple released the first-generation smartphone that subverted the mobile phone industry, causing a global sensation.
Regarding this, Wu Dong had nothing to say.
However, after he had a little understanding of the domestic mobile phone industry, he was really shocked.
It can be said that 2G and 3G mobile phones have been fully exploited by domestic copycat manufacturers.
Except for the quality and brand effect of high-end phones, the rest are not bad at all, and may even have unique advantages.
The lowest cost price can be reduced to about two hundred yuan, which is quite exaggerated.
The reason why it did not develop was that it was jointly suppressed by large foreign manufacturers and national-brand mobile phone manufacturers, and finally it was completely wiped out.
However, the proliferation of copycat functional phones has also accumulated sufficient relevant technology and knowledge in the country. This is the main reason why the country can rise rapidly in the era of smart phones.
Wu Dong has no intention of playing with mobile phones at the moment, and there is no way he can get a license.
His idea is, can the tablet computer be built one step ahead of time?
It stands to reason that there are semi-intelligent knockoff phones in China, and relevant electronic components should be available in Huaqiangbei.
Like MP4 and handheld computers, there is actually a trend towards tablet computers. Maybe the emergence of tablet computers is just a matter of thinking?
Anyway, in his opinion, the hardware is enough.
What's the big deal? Make the tablet the thickness of a book. Let's not pursue some ultra-thin and other technological-feeling assembly, right?
As far as he knew, with the popularity of smartphones, individuals could easily assemble tablet computers with their own hands as long as they had the components. Wu Dong felt that he should be able to do it now.
Through understanding, Europe is still dominated by MP4, and there is no sign of tablet computers.
After returning to China, he plans to recruit a group of relevant technical talents to give it a try.
Ahem, as its beverage brands become more and more famous, monthly profits are growing exponentially. At this time, there is enough capital for Wu Dong to make troubles.
As the mobile phone industry undergoes major changes, mobile phone manufacturers in Europe first felt the huge threat from Apple smartphones.
Some small mobile phone manufacturers have either gone bankrupt or are on the verge of bankruptcy due to the double blow of the financial crisis and Apple smartphones.
With nearly 20 million U.S. dollars in hand, Wu Dong naturally had the idea of buying the dip.
You can't just buy a tablet and copy it. You don't have any technical background of your own, right?
Don't take out the tablet when the time comes and end up with the same fate as the VCD.
By the time Wu Dong returned to China in December 2008, Antwerp Club had successfully won the half-season championship of the Belgian Second Division.
The situation in the Premier League is excellent, and the club has also successfully completed the establishment of a business development department, which is mainly composed of experienced Chinese business developers, supplemented by business talents from Belgium and other European countries.
As for the competitive sports department, it will continue to be led by a puppet head coach, supplemented by coaches transferred from the Guihua school team club.
They are specifically responsible for training and trivial matters for players, and are still controlled remotely by Wu Dong.
Anyway, communications are very advanced now, and the team has already started to gain momentum. All I have to do is focus on me.
As the club has more and more Chinese elements, Wu Dong's control over the club is getting stronger and stronger.
At present, the Guihua school team has created a miracle in the Chinese Super League and won the Chinese Super League championship as a newly promoted team.
Needless to say, most of the key players simply cannot be retained.
Among them, those with good conduct and willingness to work hard will be sent to Antwerp through transfer.
The level of the Belgian First Division is at least higher than that of the Chinese Super League.
Moreover, European professional sports are quite developed, and any performance that is good enough will easily attract the attention of relevant people and institutions in neighboring Germany and France.
It can be said that as long as Wu Dong can firmly control the Antwerp club, this will be a bridgehead for domestic players to the mainstream European leagues.
The best thing is that the Belgian First Division is very suitable for Chinese players who have just gone abroad.
Once you get used to the intensity of League One, it will be relatively easy to move to a mid- to lower-tier team in the five major leagues.
Nowadays, information is developed, and the Guihua school team is the new champion of the Chinese Super League. It is a time when everyone is paying attention, and the affairs of the Antwerp club cannot be concealed.
Therefore, after Wu Dong returned to China, he was immediately followed by many sports media.
Even CCTV Sports Channel sent me interview invitations.
Wu Dong did not refuse. He first accepted an interview with a local newspaper and talked about things in Antwerp.
The reason is very simple, in fact everyone understands it.
It is to give the club's outstanding players a more reasonable and better future.
It is true that Antwerp is still in the Belgian Second Division at this time, but looking at the current momentum, there is a high probability of entering the Belgian First Division next season.
The level of League One is definitely higher than that of the Chinese Super League.
By attracting the attention of teams from the five major leagues through his performance in the A-League, it will be much easier to adapt to the other five major leagues.
If it doesn't work out, can't I still return it to Bijia?
In the studio of CCTV Sports Channel, the host didn't know what he was thinking, but asked him why he didn't buy a team from the five major leagues?
Wu Dong was a little funny. He directly asked the current Chinese players, how many of them can compete in the Premier League?
Besides, if you want to buy a Premier League team for less than tens of millions of pounds, you are just dreaming!
Germany's professional teams basically don't give outsiders the chance to get involved.
La Liga also has restrictions on foreign aid. If you buy a team rashly, you can easily fall into a financial trap and be unable to extricate yourself.
The Ligue 1 league is quite barbaric and has problems like this. The issue of foreign aid cannot be ignored at all.
As for Serie A, haha...
The following Portuguese Super League and Dutch Eredivisie, not to mention restrictions on foreign aid, are not a good place for Chinese businessmen to rashly reach out because there are so many big brokers there.
The biggest advantage of the Belgian league is that there are no foreign aid restrictions, the price of buying an Antwerp club is not high, and it is located in the core area of Western Europe. The league level is not as strong as the Portuguese Super League and the Eredivisie, but it is perfectly aligned with the Chinese Super League.
In short, he gave a lot of practical reasons and ideas.
If we adhere to a responsible attitude towards Chinese players, it is best to be a second or even third-tier European league team, otherwise it just sounds good.
Just like the boss Yang in Birmingham, if there are strong domestic players who can establish themselves there, I guess he will definitely buy one or two.
The host of CCTV Sports Channel nodded repeatedly and continued to ask the fans’ biggest concern: whether Antwerp will continue to purchase Chinese players.
Wu Dong smiled softly and said leisurely that he had already contacted Li Datou and estimated that Antwerp would probably add a Chinese defense general.
By the way, Li Datou's life was not going well at this time.
Following his mentor, he went to the Optics Valley team in the provincial capital city. As a result, the results of the Optics Valley team were a mess, and he was eventually demoted to the Chinese League One as the deputy squad leader.
This is nothing, and I don’t know what the top management of the Optics Valley team was thinking, but they directly held a press conference to announce their withdrawal from the Chinese Super League due to unfair treatment, and then the entire team was disbanded.
Such a coquettish operation has confused the entire domestic football world.
The Football Association also simply took advantage of the situation and canceled the Optics Valley team's qualification to participate in the professional league. It can be said that the punishment was quite harsh.
As the main player of the Optics Valley team, Li Datou naturally became a free agent.
At this time, the Antwerp club contacted him, and naturally it was easy to reach an agreement on a free transfer.
The host of CCTV Sports Channel probably knew the inside story. He just smiled and congratulated Li Datou, and then continued the topic of Antwerp.
In short, when this football talk show was aired, it caused a huge sensation among fans across the country.
Unexpectedly, Belgium's second division team Antwerp has five Chinese players in one breath.
And judging from their performance, all of them are the main players in the team.
Based on Antwerp's current record, they will all appear in the Belgian League next season.
Many fans realized at this time that the five Chinese players before were definitely not the club's main targets.
Don’t forget, Wu Dong is also the owner of this year’s Chinese Super League champion team, the club where the Guihua school team is located, and is even the team’s head coach and main player.
Purchasing the Antwerp club is obviously also for the future of the Guihua school team players.
Obviously, the main Chinese players after Antwerp will definitely be members of the Osmanthus school team, and they must be the best among them.
You know, the performance of the Guihua school team this year can definitely be described as crazy.
A player with enough energy as an individual can be said to be invincible. The techniques and tactics are not that complicated. On the contrary, they are quite simple. They just rush to surround the small and fast players, or in other words, they can complete all attacks and all defenses.
But with such a crazy style of play, he can dominate the Chinese Super League, and he can also resist the foreign players of each team, and his performance is quite impressive.
However, it's hard to tell which one of them has particularly outstanding abilities. It's all about playing overall football.
But that's it. I heard that some of the Chinese Super League's giants are already planning to completely carve up the main force of the Guihua school team.
Their purpose is that if you can't do it on the court, then buy it.
If it had been in the past, I'm afraid the Osmanthus school team would have been hard-pressed to escape.
After all, the main players of the Chinese Super League championship team are unable to retain people with the lowest wages and bonuses in the entire Chinese Super League.
But now the situation is different. You can use playing in foreign clubs as a bargaining chip to allow some of the main players to stay and compete in the Chinese Super League.
Wu Dong naturally saw these comments and just smiled lightly without comment...
