As he grows older and has been in power for a long time, Xiao Qian has actually developed an unfathomable character.
Under normal circumstances, he didn't want others to know his true thoughts, and others would just be confused. But this time, he basically didn't hide his emotions.
Everyone present basically felt his alienation and indifference.
Only one person still tried hard to smile and refused to give up.
That is Chu Dayou.
Speaking of which, the people here today are all representatives of the football community in Black Province, but the person who has the most selfless love and devotion to football is probably Chu Dayou.
Chu Dayou joined the football team at the age of eighteen, starting as an ordinary player. After more than forty years, his life's work has been related to football.
I have experienced all the bitterness and pain in these years.
Even so, he never gave up and his love for football was still deep.
He knows very well that today's football in Black Province has reached an important turning point. Whether it can be launched or not, success or failure may depend on today.
In line with that sentence, people are often full of hope when facing fear.
This is how Chu Dayou felt.
He was afraid that this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would be missed and football in the Black Province would never rise again.
Even though Xiao Qian had made it clear that he didn't want to get involved, he still decided to try hard.
"Haha, Mr. Xiao should know. Last year, our Chinese football team entered the World Cup for the first time. Nowadays, football has become the most concerned topic in the whole society. I have been involved in football all my life, and I have never seen it.
This makes people all over the country worried. What is this? This is an opportunity. If we can seize this opportunity tightly, I believe that football in our province will be able to usher in spring."
Obviously, his impassioned words were not responded to by Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian's silence was calm and terrifying.
Helpless, Chu Dayou had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.
"In view of the current good situation, we people in the football community also have new ideas. Mr. Xiao may not know that our football people have been working hard to show our strength on the Chinese football map over the years. It is a pity that
, due to various reasons, our efforts have failed in the past.
However, a great opportunity is now in front of us. Mr. Liu of Lange Group is also determined to revive our black province football and is preparing to rebuild Lange Football Club.
This time, our goal is to start from the Second Division, try to enter the A-B league in one to two years, and then hit the A-A league.
If we can get Mr. Xiao’s support, I believe our Black Province football team will be able to appear in the highest professional league in China.”
After saying so much in one breath, Chu Dayou was panting from exhaustion and looked at Xiao Qian anxiously, not knowing whether the grand blueprint he proposed would impress Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian didn't expect that even though his intentions were so clear, these people still wouldn't give up.
He had no choice but to talk to these people.
"Mr. Chu, Mr. Liu, I admire your efforts in revitalizing football in Black Province. If possible, I would like to do my best. But can I know what your specific plans are?"
Zhan Jinhuai thought he was loose, and said excitedly: "Our biggest problem now is insufficient funds. If we have sufficient funds, not only can we complete the reconstruction of the club, but we can also provide effective support from all aspects.
If Mr. Xiao is willing to help, we only need 200 million...100 million, and we are confident that we can break into Class A in two years."
Others nodded one after another, seeming to testify to his assurance.
Xiao Qian waved her hands and smiled bitterly.
"Director Zhan, I think you misunderstood me. What I want to know is that you plan to revive Longjiang Football, and this wish is absolutely correct. So where is your profit point? Your sustainable development
Where is the strategic plan?”
After a few words, everyone was confused.
Zhan Jin was silent for a long time, just repeating what he just said about the wheel.
"If we have Mr. Xiao's support, we will definitely be able to rush into Class A..."
Xiao Qian interrupted him directly.
"Whether you rush into Class B or Class A, these are just competitive goals. What I want to know is, what does your revitalization plan rely on to survive? How to make a profit? Although I can support you with 100 million or 200 million.
Funds, but how long can you use this money? What can you give me in return?"
Unfortunately, they couldn't answer any of Xiao Qian's questions.
Because when they came to Xiao Qian for help, they never thought that Xiao Qian would want to repay them.
They have done this many times in the past, and each time they were able to get some sponsorship from major companies.
It is precisely by relying on these sponsorships to advertise for major companies that they can be openly used to promote football.
It is a pity that football has not developed over the years, and naturally it has not given any rewards to major companies.
They don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Because they have seen many colleagues do the same thing.
Isn’t this how Chinese football came along?
There are not a few companies that have invested in Chinese football in recent years. Except for a few clubs with strong backgrounds that are backed by large companies, the rest of the teams change owners faster than they change players.
Now, a person suddenly appeared and asked them to pay back, and they were dumbfounded.
They don't know how to repay.
Seeing that the situation was frozen again, Secretary Xu hurriedly smoothed things over.
"Mr. Xiao also knows that the cost of playing football is very high. Over the years, everyone has worked hard to develop football, but what is missing is financial support. As an outstanding entrepreneur in our province, if you can support our public undertakings, everyone will be grateful.
Endless.”
Xiao Qian was baffled.
"The cost of playing football is high, that's for sure. But what I'm asking is, how do you make money playing football?"
Chu Dayou exclaimed.
"Making money? How can you make money playing football?"
Not only him, but everyone else was also astonished. It was obvious that Xiao Qian's words were beyond their understanding.
Zhan Jinhuai also felt that Xiao Qian's understanding of football had gone awry.
"Football is a field of pure investment, but it is an important part of the national sports industry and an important branch of the country's goal of becoming a sports power. But if you want to make money from football... Haha, I have been involved in football for so many years, and I have seen it.
Many of my colleagues in China have never seen anyone make money from football."
Xiao Qian was stunned, it was the first time she heard such an idea.
"Who told you football doesn't make money?"
He was speechless, and others were even more surprised.
Chu Dayou looked like someone who had come before.
"Mr. Xiao, you don't know this. I have been involved in football for decades and have experienced almost all the development processes of our country's football. Whether it was the sports team era or the later professional league stage. Everyone basically has
We are losing money to engage in football. Without the support of external funds, we simply cannot survive."
When he said this, Chu Dayou was full of confidence.
Although we know that Xiao Qian is a shareholder of Real Madrid, how can an entrepreneur understand football better than him?
But it is a pity that although Xiao Qian does not know football better than him, Xiao Qian knows business better.
"If football doesn't make money, why do so many capitals around the world enter the football industry every year?"
With just one sentence, Xiao Qian refuted Chu Dayou and was speechless.
"In this world, capital is the most honest. Will capital get involved in unprofitable industries? Take Real Madrid as an example. If Real Madrid is a loss-making business, why does everyone want to become a shareholder of Real Madrid? Mr. Chu, you know me
How much dividends can you get from Real Madrid every year? It's millions of euros. I really don't understand, what is your theoretical basis for saying that football must lose money?"
Not to mention European football, even in Chinese football, many companies are still entering one after another. If there are no benefits, are those operators fools?
"That's Real Madrid, of course it's different."
Chu Dayou was extremely helpless and had no choice but to use Real Madrid's status as an excuse.
"If our Lange club reaches the top league, we..."
Xiao Qian didn't want to hear it anymore and interrupted directly.
"So what if you enter the A-League? Can you make money? What is the way to make money? In recent years, there have been many clubs in the top professional leagues that have failed to operate. Why is it that everything will be fine if the Lange Club enters the top league?"
Xiao Qian's question went straight to the point, making Chu Dayou unable to resist any longer. Others, like him, lowered their heads in despair.
Seeing that his goal was finally achieved, Xiao Qian said with a bit of hatred: "You want to engage in football, so come to me for help. Originally, for the purpose of helping my hometown, I can definitely provide help. An investment of 100 million or 200 million, for
As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't really matter. Do you know what the problem is?"
Xiao Qian pounded the table hard, trying to make his voice enter everyone's heart.
"The problem is that I can't see any feasible plan from your demands. You keep telling me that you want to attack A B and A A.
Is this important?
Even if you make it to the AFC Champions League, if you don't find a correct and lasting direction and method, what will you do if this or 200 million yuan is used up?
Are you going to look for money everywhere again?
What will you do when one day no one is willing to invest money in you?
What awaits you is still a dead end, isn't it?"
His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's hearts one after another, making them unable to breathe.
Xiao Qian left one last sentence.
"Here, I sincerely hope that everyone will think carefully about it when they go back, what is the essence of football? How to find a sustainable development model for Longjiang football, and where is the development direction of Longjiang football? If these problems are not solved
