Chapter 100: Colorful Clouds Flying in the Mountains (10)
Unexpectedly, Lao Gao's attitude is exactly what Leonie wants. She admires Chinese culture and grew up in Germany. She is straightforward at heart: "I'm here to invite you today. To show my solemnity, I came in person."
"Invite me?" Lao Gao blinked his little eyes: "Let's celebrate the New Year together?"
Cheng Wei held up his forehead. She was afraid that the conversation between these two upright guys would break down, so she quickly interjected: "Lao Gao, have you thought about what you will do when you retire after the World Cup this year?"
Lao Gao turned to look at his wife, then at Leonie, and gradually understood in his heart. He was a little impatient, but he couldn't force himself on Leonie, so he could only hold his breath and said: "I haven't thought about it yet. It's early. It's still early."
The World Cup is important."
Seeing that his wife's face was not good-looking, Lao Gao sighed in his heart and chose to correct his answer: "That's right, Director Wei asked me to be a vice chairman, but I have been too tired these years and want to take some time off to rest my mind."
Leonie nodded when she heard this: "Actually, if it weren't for the doctor's troubles, this championship should have been yours. Didn't you win all the championships you can win in your coaching career? Your national team leadership performance is almost the best in all
Are they all number one in each event? I think you are the only one who can win all the championships from the youth team, to the youth team, to the Olympic team and then to the national team."
"No." Lao Gao waved his hands with concern: "That's enough for now. I have more than ten endorsements now, and I already have enough money. I just want to save worry in the future."
Leonie leaned on the back of the sofa and looked directly at Lao Gao: "Then I will tell you directly?"
Lao Gao looked at this famous strong woman and smiled: "Okay."
"On behalf of the Beyond Corporation, I formally invite you to serve as the general manager of Beyond Sports after resigning as the head coach of the national team."
Lao Gao was startled when he heard this, and Leoni continued: "At the same time, on behalf of the Liaoning Football Association, I invite you to serve as the vice chairman of the Liaoning Football Association."
Lao Gao was stunned for a moment.
Since the outside world knew that he was about to step down, various invitations have been pouring in. Not to mention the Chinese Super League, there is almost a queue for invitations. Invitations have come from the J-League, the K-League, the Russian Super League and even the five major leagues. As a World Cup champion coach, his resume is extremely brilliant.
In the eyes of all the bosses, he is a delicious meat bun. But Lao Gao has never made up his mind. It is not that he has never led a professional team, and he feels that he has no motivation. Moreover, the professional team is in turmoil, and he may even lose money.
Her body delayed her advertising endorsements.
Leonie's invitation was the first time that a sports company had invited her as a CEO. It wasn't even a club but a sports group company that was number one in China and number two in Asia! Ordinarily, the club's affairs were complicated enough.
One or two hundred employees are common. Beyond Sports is larger and more complex, with more than 2,000 employees. The branches alone include basketball, women's football, junior football, e-sports, medical rehabilitation, brokerage companies, etc., and the group company itself has
Logistics, legal affairs, general office, marketing, technology, finance, business, fans and other departments.
Even though it is just a sports company, its number of people exceeds that of the Chinese Football Association, and its revenue is not much less than that of the Football Association.
When Lao Gao thought about how he had only been in charge of about thirty people in recent years, at best he was a platoon leader, and when he was in charge of two thousand people as a regiment leader, and there were so many majors that he didn't understand, his head suddenly got bigger.
He wanted to refuse. At this time, Cheng Wei whispered from the side: "Director Wei is 61 this year and can work for another 4 years at most."
Seeing the boss looking at her, Cheng Wei felt a little guilty, but at this moment he could only muster up the courage: "Your resume is not great, but it lacks management. If Chinese football is not so brilliant, it may be based on your leadership achievements."
It's okay, but the performance of Chinese football is so good that it is an obstacle. Maybe Yao Ming can be the leader of the Basketball Association in the future, but you have to put in some effort."
Lao Gao's lips moved, but he didn't say anything after all. He didn't like women interfering in his career, but what his wife said now was very reasonable. And it was Leonie who came to invite today, so it was obviously her man's idea behind this.
And if the man doesn't come or call him to ask the woman to come forward, is this... taking care of his own self-esteem?
Thinking of this, Lao Gao had a wry smile on his face and sighed: "I understand, what you said is right, you are all doing it for my own good, and I do have some ideas about that position. It has been so many years since the founding of the People's Republic of China..."
Lao Gao shook his head: "If I were to become the vice chairman, let alone all kinds of exclusion and exclusion, being away from the front-line specific work would be equivalent to being hung up. My original idea was to go down and become a coach or something like that. Your
The invitation is better than my idea, and the importance beyond sports is stronger than the sports bureaus of some weak provinces. But... I have no experience, so how can you really feel relieved if you hand me such a big plate? I remember Xiao Wanger said
, that is the kingdom of his football dreams. It seems that it has never been out of his control since its establishment, right?"
Leonie said sternly: "As far as I know, your master and apprentice have communicated countless times over the years, and your football concepts have been highly unified. It will be the same whether you do it or he does it. There will be no deviation in philosophy, let alone
It’s not a problem to say that our two families are as close as one family.”
Lao Gao nodded slightly, and Leonie continued: "Beyond Sports has always had a general office secretarial team responsible for handling daily affairs in the past few years. Only major issues require approval from me or Huang Xin. The two of us are basically in a remote control state, please.
Go, if you have the energy, you can devote yourself to it and show your ambitions. I guarantee that there will be no obstruction from the top or the same level. If you are tired, you can stay as you are. The secretarial team can fully meet your daily needs. The reason why we don’t let go is
You said it is too important, but we have not found anyone trustworthy in terms of ability, character, and emotion."
Lao Gao was silent for a long time under the attention of the two women. Just when Leonie frowned, Cheng Wei poked Lao Gao. Only then did Lao Gao notice that the lion was getting anxious, so he smiled and shook his head: "
All my life, I have asked your family to make clear arrangements for you. You sit down while I go to the kitchen to take a look."
Lao Gao stood up and left, leaving the two women sitting across from each other in a daze. Leonie raised her eyebrows: "What does he mean?"
Seeing Cheng Wei nod, Leonie complained: "There are so many things."
This made Cheng Wei laugh out loud.
During dinner, Lao Gao asked seriously about the current situation of Beyond Sports, which showed that his arrangements for his apprentice's family were actually very useful.
Based on his resume, the Football Association's Foreign Affairs Department, Technical Department, Competition Department, Youth Department, and National Team Department are not problems, but the General Department, Development Department, Ford Power and the Chinese Super League are weak points. He wants to become the first in 20 years.
As a professional chairman, if he breaks the fate of being in charge of Chinese football, his resume will be even more perfect.
There is no more appropriate excess than surpassing the sports boss. No one else can get such a good thing even on their knees. If nothing else, Wang Ai cannot let go! Since the establishment of the family, all the people in charge have been his wife, oh no, his ex-wife!
