Soon Zhang Zhijun returned to Zhang Sheng's familiar resolute expression: "You don't have to worry too much, the group still has enough funds. Although a large part of the money is spent on the construction of the football field, but from other sources.
The place is crowded and we can still squeeze out some, but next year the group will not be able to give the club too much support."
After informing Zhang Sheng of the situation, Zhang Zhijun said: "The other people who can give us support are the Hubei Provincial Government and the Jiangcheng City Government. As local governments, they also have local interests, and they do not want local high-quality resources to be controlled by foreign capital.
.As long as your club can ensure results and allow them to achieve political results, they will definitely support us."
"I didn't expect that the group would still have to rely on the football club." Zhang Zhijun said, shaking his head helplessly.
Zhang Sheng quickly gave Zhang Zhijun reassurance: "This season the club will not sell a large number of players, and its strength will not weaken. Moreover, our players are also valuable. Selling one or two will cover all our club's expenses this year."
"
"You make more money selling players than I do selling properties." After hearing Zhang Sheng's assurance, Zhang Zhijun made a rare joke.
Zhang Sheng also smiled and said: "Buildings are easy to build, but cultivating a good player is not easy. How is the construction situation at the football stadium now?"
Hearing Zhang Sheng mention this issue, Zhang Zhijun showed a rare smile: "Yes, the progress is very fast, faster than I imagined. It may not take three years to complete, maybe it can be completed a few months earlier.
"
"I heard that the country is now very strict about this area. Can the quality be guaranteed?" Zhang Sheng asked a little worriedly.
Zhang Zhijun laughed and scolded: "You don't need to worry about such things. This is my old profession. Although the state conducted a strict inspection of the national construction market last month, our group can still have a hard word when it comes to construction quality.
"
Zhang Sheng, who traveled back from the future, knew that there had been several very serious construction accidents later, and was still a little worried. He had to add again: "It is better to be stricter in self-examination. There is no need to rush the construction deadline. The group is short of money. I have some problems here."
Investing can help.”
"Leave your little money to my precious grandson. Why does the group need your money, and how much do you have?" Zhang Zhijun looked contemptuous.
In fact, Zhang Sheng has a lot of money in his hands now. Since returning from time travel, Zhang Sheng has used his foresight to invest in many industries. The valuation of the industries in his hands is at least several hundred million, which can be regarded as a
Invisible tycoon, after all, Zhang Sheng came back from IT and the Internet, and the skyrocketing price of this thing is really boundless.
However, Zhang Zhijun still agreed with Zhang Sheng's words: "Originally, the group did have plans to strictly inspect the construction quality, but there have been a lot of things recently. You are right to remind us that we should be careful."
Hearing that his father accepted his suggestion, Zhang Sheng was very happy: "You should pay attention to your health when you are busy. Dad, you are not young anymore. You can spend more time with your mother to cultivate yourself. It is difficult for the two grandsons at home to be with you."
Playing."
"Yeah, I haven't taken the two little guys out to play for a long time." Hearing Zhang Sheng talk about his two grandsons, Zhang Zhijun had a grandfatherly look on his face, "When this period of time is over,
, I will take a break and play with them."
After chatting with Zhang Zhijun for a while, Zhang Sheng once again devoted himself to the affairs of the club. It seems that it is not so easy to take a good break during this holiday.
The biggest issue for the club now is transfer, because the transfer market is extremely lively at this time, and those clubs with the most transfer rumors are nothing more than those clubs.
The team that bears the brunt of the most rumors of selling people is the Dragons, because selling people seems to be their tradition. Next are the two clubs that have been relegated. It is inevitable for the relegated teams to sell their good players.
Different from history, due to the emergence of the Longteng team, Harbin Yiteng did not succeed in reaching the Super League last season. Of course, they were not responsible for the relegation. Instead, they were replaced by Shanghai Shenxin, who had been able to miraculously avoid relegation every year in the past.
As for the poor team, the other team has not changed, Dalian Albin, which has been owed wages for a long time.
The two relegated teams represent the "lower limit" of the Chinese Super League: the club's personnel, financial resources and many aspects are unable to support the competition at the Chinese Super League level. It is rare for the Chinese Super League company to increase the end-of-season dividends to shareholders. We count on league organizers
It is difficult to complete the TV broadcast negotiations and make the league truly professional and market-oriented - La Liga and the Premier League, the two top leagues, also have a "great disparity between rich and poor", but the league organizers ordered the broadcast revenue to be allocated to weak teams in proportion in order to maintain
As for the overall balance of the league, the Chinese Super League is far from being so mature.
Zhang Sheng, who has been in European football for several years, is very familiar with the various protection policies of major European leagues.
The organizers of the five major leagues all have provisions for allocating funds to charity and grassroots football projects. For example, the Premier League and the Football Association allocate tens of millions of pounds to the country's "Football Infrastructure Fund" every year. Most of this allocation is used to improve amateur football.
The venue conditions of football clubs, and the Premier League will also provide part of the revenue as an "umbrella fund" to Premier League relegated clubs to alleviate the financial crisis caused by relegation. These measures of Europe's top leagues are in line with UEFA's continuous efforts in recent years.
The "Financial Fair Play Policy" advocated by them complements each other, but in the Chinese Super League, which has just popularized the concept of "professional", its weak foundation is inversely proportional to the fierce confrontation between the "championship groups".
The reason why players are expensive in the Chinese Super League at this stage is because there are too many teams that want to achieve good results. The demand is large and the supply is small. It is inevitable that the players' worth will be inflated.
Of course, there is one team that is ahead of everyone here, and that is Guangzhou Evergrande, because Evergrande's attitude towards football has quietly changed, and it no longer focuses on performance only and values commercial dividends.
Evergrande has been making frequent moves outside the stadium this year. In the past, everyone knew that Evergrande Football represented Evergrande Real Estate. Now, this team also endorses Evergrande’s newly developed mineral water, grain and oil, milk powder and other products. In order to let Evergrande
New products can attract attention, and Evergrande has also negotiated with the sponsors to let the team wear the uniforms of Evergrande's new products by redeeming the sponsorship advertisements in certain games.
After making gains in performance, they began to reap the "dividends" of professional football and "bind" their continuously launched new products to Evergrande Football, which has sufficient influence and reputation, in an attempt to quickly open up the market.
According to Zhang Sheng's understanding, what Guangzhou Evergrande wants to do most now is to package and list Evergrande football in accordance with the modern enterprise system. This will bring about a new business model for operating football. Once Evergrande goes public in the future, it will be
Other domestic clubs have stronger and broader financing capabilities. Undoubtedly, Evergrande has once again pioneered the capital operation of professional football.
In fact, this is also one of the strategic goals Zhang Sheng has set for the Longteng Club. However, while he is still in the strategic planning stage, Evergrande has entered the substantial operation stage. If the historical process does not change, they will soon
It is expected to go public in July 2015. Now Evergrande Club is estimated to have started pre-IPO preparations. After all, there is a lot of preparatory work for a company to go public.
This can really be said to be one step ahead and one step ahead.
At the beginning of this season, another big change in Chinese football is that the Chinese Super League is slowly changing from a "real estate league" to becoming more diversified.
The addition of non-real estate companies such as Taobao, Suning, and Shanghai SIPG has given the league more vitality.
Now in the eyes of many investors, they even regard the 2014 season as a season of "starting from inheritance and transition to integration", and everyone is full of confidence. They believe that a lot of negative energy accumulated in the previous ten years has been gradually cleared in the past two years, and has been
Some positive energy has begun to accumulate. I think starting from the 2015 season, the Chinese Super League will enter a benign and positive energy track.
This is also the reason why those capitals that have never been involved in Chinese football before dare to invest.
Of course, Zhang Sheng, who is more concerned about the overall development of Chinese football, should be a little more conservative, because the Chinese League One, Chinese League Two, and amateur leagues, which are the cornerstones of the league, have really not improved much.
Because Yao Tian and Zhu Xuhe played in the Tianshan Snow Leopards, Zhang Sheng had a better understanding of some situations in the Chinese League One.
In the final match of the Chinese Premier League, Chengdu Tiancheng faced the Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopards at home. Fans jokingly called it a "wage arrears derby". Zhang Sheng even learned that as many as half of the clubs have wage arrears, and some serious wage arrears.
, players have gone to the Chinese Football Association to seek arbitration.
In Zhang Sheng's view, the reform of the Chinese Super League should start with the Chinese League One - without the support of the Chinese League One, it will be difficult for the Chinese Super League to develop. And for league organizers, the commercial value of the Chinese Super League is far from reaching the upper limit, but
The only prerequisite for obtaining huge profits is to first bring the Chinese League One into a professional track.
Compared with these Chinese Super League teams that cannot afford to pay wages, the two most powerful teams are the wealthy Chinese Super League teams who invest heavily in players.
Evergrande's player lineup will definitely need to be adjusted due to the change of coach this season. However, their local lineup is relatively complete. Apart from being a little entangled on the issue of Zhang Linpeng, they don't have much demand for other positions.
Even so, Evergrande accelerated its accumulation of international players. After Sun Xiang left this season, they began to chase Zou Zheng, who was still in the Chinese League One, and Longteng's left back Lu Zhihui.
At the right back position, Evergrande also has its own arrangements. If Zhang Linpeng really wants to leave, then Wang Shangyuan, who plays for Club Brugge in Belgium, is their target, and they also have plans for Longteng team captain Shu, who is also a right back.
Jun is also ready to move.
Of course, Evergrande is not without competitors regarding the transfer of Shu Jun. When Beijing Guoan faced the Longteng team, their right back Zhou Ting played really awkwardly, and Zhou Ting himself said that he had finished the game.
He will retire in the 2015 season, so recruiting a young and capable person to replace him is a top priority. Although Shu Jun was sent off in the game against Guoan, Guoan himself knew that the problem was mostly with the referee, and Shu Jun himself
There is no problem with his strength, so the pursuit of him has not relaxed.
Of course, what Guoan needs most now is a left midfielder. Liu Xing was injured at the end of the season and missed several games. Zhang Xizhe left for the Bundesliga. Then the relegated Dalian Albin player Yu Dabao became the target that Guoan wanted to lure over.
, and I heard that I have been watching it for a long time.
Also waving checks to sign players this season are the Shanghai duo.
After Shanghai Greenland acquired Shenhua last year and caused a controversy over the name change, this season it has "reformed" and is preparing to add the word "Shenhua" to the name of the club again and change its name to Shanghai Greenland Shenhua Football Club.
While the club's name caters to the fans' demands, they have not forgotten another thing that fans are looking forward to - signings.
Many well-known domestic players have a relationship with Shenhua, and the club has been revealing that they want to introduce better foreign players. As for the transfer fee this season, there are rumors that it will reach as much as 500 million.
As a rival in the same city, Shanghai SIPG is certainly not willing to be left behind.
And after the end of the season, they announced the overall acquisition of Shanghai East Asia Football Club, which completely erased the traces of East Asia from this team. Correspondingly, in the first year of the successful acquisition, in order to show the new atmosphere of the new team, they spent money
Buying is for sure.
First of all, they reached out to Guangzhou R&F and hired the entire coaching staff of R&F. As the head coach of R&F, Eriksen has performed very well in the past two seasons. Although due to the emergence of the Longteng team, Eriksen has not been able to play well this season.
He failed to lead the team to the AFC Champions League, but his successful transformation of the team is still obvious to all.
In addition, Eriksen will also bring his favorite player Dawei from R&F to Shanghai SIPG. While SIPG strengthens its coaching team, it also weakens a potential competitor for the AFC Champions League qualification. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
At the same time, Shandong Luneng is also strengthening the team's strength.
Luneng's performance in the league this season was a mess. Fortunately, Kuka led the team to win the FA Cup while the Longteng team was not in full strength, and retained the coach's seat, so signings became their first choice.
For Luneng, who is not short of money, it will definitely be a big deal.
Another team that is preparing to buy a lot of players is Guangzhou R&F.
Because Elkeson was poached by Shanghai SIPG, Dawei left, and forward Aaron also intended to leave the team. In addition, they failed to compete for the AFC Champions League last season. They had always wanted to compete with their city rival Guangzhou Evergrande and began to discuss the relationship between coaches and players.
Introduction.
Except for these teams that are interested in the top few, many teams that want to avoid relegation have not relaxed their recruitment efforts.
The signing of the last team is particularly related to Zhang Sheng, and that is Jiangsu Sainty.
Because Sainty's performance this season was really poor - ranked 12th, and the FA Cup was eliminated in the quarter-finals. The head coach Stano who came from Guoan was decisively fired, and they set their sights on
Gao Hongbo is right, that is to say, after going around in a circle, Sainty returned to the original path. It is worthy of the inertia of history.
