When the banquet ended, it was already 1:30 in the middle of the night. Wang Ai and Yan Shiduo, who met at the door by chance, went to the Dold Hotel where Wang Ai was stationed. They talked about today's award ceremony, especially the celebration banquet. In the bid.
Regarding the World Cup, Wang Ai is not an ordinary national football player or captain of the national team, or even a middle-level cadre of the Football Association under the leadership of Yan Shiduo, but a major member of the "World Cup Bidding Group".
Even though he exists as a mascot most of the time, because his status is too high and his influence is too great, many things cannot avoid him.
"Are you planning to go to Bayern Munich?" Yan Shiduo took a sip of tea and sat in Wang Ai's room: "I see you and Beckenbauer have been chatting for a long time and you look very happy."
Wang Ai nodded: "His Majesty and I have known each other for many years. He has been of great help to me and to the youth of Tubingen. Without him, it is unclear whether the youth of Tubingen could exist, so no matter what he says, I will take it seriously.
Listen and think about it carefully."
"Oh? Do you really plan to go?"
"Well, I have thought about it." Wang Ai recalled: "I approached me in Germany, and I have said it many times over the years. But I always felt that the time was not right. Bayern is very powerful, but it is always far from the top in the world.
A little bit. But who knows in the future, maybe I will be at Bayern in two or three years."
Yan Shiduo frowned and thought for a while: "Is your career too fluid? You are only 23 this year, and you have already changed four teams, and you plan to continue to change?"
"I am a super star." Wang Ai pointed to his nose and said concisely.
Yan Shiduo laughed: "You still need to emphasize this to me?"
Wang Ai also laughed: "You still don't quite understand what I mean. I mean there are two types of stars. For example, among the 23 here today, one is super-class like me, and the other is first-class."
"Um?"
Wang Ai thought for a while: "Super first-class stars are mainly offensive stars, such as Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho. They have gained a lot in their careers and don't worry much about their life after retirement. Their characteristic is high mobility. On the one hand
The competition for them is fierce, and on the other hand, they also hope to continue to compete for honors in stronger teams. In this way, no matter what they do after retirement, they can have more abundant capital."
Seeing Yan Shiduo nodding silently, Wang Ai continued to explain: "The other type is first-class stars, which are mainly defensive stars or offensive stars that are worse than super first-class stars. Their career income is not top-notch, and their reputation is not big enough. They move around.
Although it is possible, it will weaken the foundation of a city and a club. After they retire, they will not be able to compete with super-class stars. For example, it is not easy to be a head coach, commentator, or commentator. Even if they are building their own brand, they cannot compete.
.So they have to consider taking root in one city and one club, operating it for a long time, and seeking protection for their retirement life."
Yan Shiduo squinted: "So, their liquidity is relatively poor?"
Seeing Wang Ai nodding, Yan Shiduo asked again: "We have too little professional experience, so no one understands some things. Xiao Wang, you have been in Europe, your brain is good, and you are willing to think. Can you tell me something? , why can't a club always stay at the top? If it is always at the top, then you don't have to leave, right? Can't you kill two birds with one stone?"
Wang Ai lowered his head and thought for a while, then took the water glass and drank a glass of water: "I think it is probably a kind of self-correction under the capitalist system. For example, Inter Milan has dominated Serie A for four years, and last year it achieved Won five crowns. In this process, a lot of money was invested in the early stage, but the team's performance was not good, so the investment was not large and the income was not large. But after winning the championship, the income increased sharply, and the players' income also increased step by step. But there is an upper limit to Inter Milan’s market influence and development income, but there is no upper limit to the salaries of stars. For example, if we were the champions last year, then if I renew my contract this summer, my salary must be increased, right? What about next year? What if I get it again? Champions League and Serie A champions, do they still have to give me a salary increase? If not, I won’t renew my contract. In fact, even if the results are average, the club needs to keep the player’s contract, for example, for five years, so that the transfer can be sold at a good price. , we must also continue to raise salaries.”
Yan Shiduo frowned: "That is to say, in the rising stage, the surge in commercial income can offset the increase in players' income, and investors have sufficient returns. But after reaching the peak, the growth in commercial income is slow or stagnant, while the players' income continues to grow, slowly Will it become a deficit? Investors will lose their desire to invest, and the club's finances will not be able to support it, and it will have to start again and open a new one?"
Wang Ai nodded: "Yes, so we have to sell the players. The income of these players will drop sharply when they arrive at the new team, or even be cut in half. The original peak team has experienced a decline in combat effectiveness due to drastic changes in its members, but its expenses have also been significantly reduced, and even Rely on the reputation of the previous few years to turn losses into profits and maintain profits for a few years. Then we can accumulate strength and start over.”
Yan Shiduo sighed: "There are ups and downs. No one can be strong forever. It has maintained the competitiveness of the league and continuously promoted the improvement of football technology. This mechanism is ideal."
Wang Ai nodded: "After all, our time is short, and the mechanisms in all aspects are immature. Club owners and players don't quite know how to play, nor do they quite understand the rules of operation, so when it comes to operation... Hehe, after all, they are running. The professional league has been around for hundreds of years, but we have only been in it for more than ten years. We are still under the new system of the socialist market economy, and it will take time for the make-up lessons to be effective."
Yan Shiduo nodded: "So you have to run around? Anyway, your real foothold is China. Chinese fans don't care much about which team you are in, they only care about your performance and serving the country? That's fine."
"Inter Milan is at its peak now, so I guess if I don't leave next year, I will leave the year after that."
"Is Bayern Munich black?"
"The possibility is not small, it depends on Bayern's performance at that time."
Yan Shiduo laughed and shook his head: "It sounds very arrogant, but it makes sense to you. You are indeed qualified to be picky, as long as you always maintain your current status."
Wang Ai raised his chin: "Someone almost grabbed me. My goal efficiency has been reduced by half, and I am also a super forward. And my two major technical innovations are already legendary. Even if my goal efficiency is halved, the rich clubs will still want me."
, even if it’s against my business appeal.”
Yan Shiduo listened to Wang Ai's "bragging" with a smile, and waited until Wang Ai finished speaking before saying: "Do you understand what I said to Blatter today?"
