Chapter 2542: The Helm of the Club
At eight o'clock in the morning, Rongcheng, a slow-paced city, has already become a busy scene.
Especially after leaving the Third Ring Road, the workers of the major factories related to Fairy Fairy Company have already started their new day's work with great energy.
Unlike the industrial workers working in coastal areas such as Nanwan, these workers not only have a much higher salary, but also because of strict working hours, overtime work is all voluntary, and they are also very full of spirit.
For this reason, Guo Taiming felt like crying.
It's not that the Red Sea factory in Rongcheng makes it difficult for him to work. Although the salaries of five or six hundred thousand workers here are higher, Fairy Company will also subsidize part of it, so what the Red Sea factory pays is generally to be with him in Nanwan. Factories in other places were flat.
But the problem is that the working hours vary greatly.
The factory work in Nanwan is generally 12 hours, and that in Zhenzhou is also 11 hours, but the maximum in Rongcheng is 9 hours, and the difference is very large.
Today is a networked society, and it is not like the inconvenient transportation and communication in the past, when you are hundreds of miles away, you don’t know what’s going on on the other side.
When there is an Internet, everyone can quickly know things thousands of miles away, let alone this simple problem of working hours.
Therefore, these factories in other places are making trouble, and no matter how the Red Sea factory explains it, it will not work.
In the end, Guo Taiming could only pinch his nose and admit it. He reduced the working hours in Nanwan and Zhenzhou by one hour, and increased his salary a little.
This fee alone directly reduced Guo Taiming's profits in these two factories by more than 30%.
Don't doubt, being an OEM is such a hard work. If Xiao Qi's Fairy Company hadn't been an example, and if there hadn't been sweatshops exposed in the United States, usually 5% of the profits should be rewarded by burning incense and praying to Buddha.
Fortunately, the overall scale of the first, second, and third factories in Rongcheng of Red Sea has already accounted for half of the shares of the Red Sea factory, so even if the profits of the other two factories have decreased, the profits of the three factories in Rongcheng are higher than many. Overall, Guo Taiming's life is much better than in previous years.
And because of this. Guo Taiming is about the same as the boss of the Wei family of Master Zhuan. He spends most of the time in the mainland every year, and most of the time is here in Rongcheng.
Leave this matter aside.
On the third floor of Fairy Canteen, inside the box.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, Robin van der Seym was filled with emotion as he looked at the workers who were rapidly walking towards the factory.
He had already eaten a Western-style breakfast, and he was drinking coffee at this time. "It's rare, but Huaguo is better! With such a large population, you won't be lonely wherever you go! In the Netherlands, except for a few big cities, there are almost no people there!"
Xiao Qi smiled, indicating that he could understand his feelings.
He had seen a report that a young man from Canada, during his stay in the capital, one of his favorite things to do every day was to watch hundreds of aunts dancing square dances in the park square. Just a look for hours.
In his words, he has never seen so many people in Canada, and he has never seen everyone singing and dancing together so happily. It's amazing!
It's a pity that what this young man doesn't know is that with the acceleration of urbanization. In Huaguo, it is actually very rare for neighbors to gather together, that is, you can see them in parks and squares, and in the community, there are people who have lived in the neighborhood for 20 or 30 years and don't know what their neighbors are called.
Therefore, Xiao Qi himself prefers Yuanyin City. If you are in a small city, you will know people when you step out of the door. After shopping, at least twenty or thirty acquaintances will greet and chat. This feeling is very caring and warm.
"If you stay in Rongcheng in the future, you will definitely see more scenes like this." Xiao Qi said, "In the beginning we only had a football team. But in the future, the Fairy Sports Group will definitely have more sports, which will allow you to Play more, and you can have a broader career future."
"I know that in terms of salary, you won't treat me badly, but the problem is that I need to know, is it necessary for me to run a mere football team?" Van der Sek said directly, "I can do well in Pepsi. Yes, if I come to a small club to develop, I'm afraid it will have a big blow to my reputation, right?"
"This is not a small football team." Xiao Qi said, "You also know my habits. My annual investment in this football team is estimated to be 1.5 billion yuan, which is considered first-class in Asia. It is two or three Within a year, you will definitely be able to achieve good results and become a football symbol in Huaguo and even Asia. And you are responsible for reflecting the club's achievements in operating income. If you succeed, who doesn't know your achievements?"
Van der Sek said noncommittally, "I know a lot about Huaguo football. If you want to rely on the current domestic players, it will definitely not work, and the gimmicks are not enough. Tell me, which European players are you going to buy? If it is small, I will definitely not agree."
Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, and said the names of the two people he had already dealt with.
Van der Sel took a breath, "They, haven't they announced their retirement this year? How is that possible?"
"Under the charm of money, nothing is impossible." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "Although they are old, they are still good enough to play football in China for two or three years. I will give them 10 million a year Euro salaries, do you think they are willing to come?"
10 million euros! ?
Now the football superstar with the highest annual salary in Europe is Messi, but his salary in Barcelona is only 10 million euros! Although he can have an income of more than 30 million including advertisements and championship bonuses, the salary contract is 10 million euros!
It is unimaginable that two former superstars who are 37 years old and 40 years old can still have an annual salary of 10 million euros at this age!
No wonder they agreed, Van der Ser felt that with this salary, he dared to run for 90 minutes!
After a pause, Xiao Qi said again: "In addition, we plan to introduce several superstars next year..."
The next few names he said made Van der Sek dumbfounded again.
If these superstars come, not to mention the Asian teams, even the quasi-first-class teams in Europe may not be able to beat the Fairy Football Team!
Although they are not young anymore, but the tiger is still strong, and there will be no problem at all for another two or three years!
Now Van der Sel finally understands why Xiao Qi said that he would invest 1.5 billion RMB a year, and the salaries and bonuses of these superstars would cost 700 to 800 million RMB, right?
"In addition, the head coach of the fairy football team is Mr. Gao Bo, the former head coach of the Huaguo national team for one and a half years now, but when I reach the Super League next year, I have booked a world famous coach." Xiao Qi said: "He It is the coach of the last World Cup champion and the current head coach of Italy, Mr. Lippi. How is it, Robin, do you have confidence in us now?"
Van der See swallowed his saliva, intending to ask Xiao Qi if what he said could really be done, but he also understood, how could the world's richest man tell such a lie to him?
"My power, can you guarantee that it will not be disturbed by the outside world, and everything will be operated according to the market?" Van der Sze asked.
"I can't guarantee it completely, because you know that the national conditions in this country are different from those in western countries." Xiao Qi said, "But I will try my best to ensure that your professional ability can be displayed, except for the event of sports, which is the head coach. In addition to being responsible, and the superstars you have brought in to build your reputation in the past few years, you have the greatest power in the operation of the club."
Xiao Qi said this very sincerely.
It's not completely guaranteed, but Van Deser who has lived in Huaguo for so many years knows that this is where Xiao Qi is most sincere.
Although Xiao Qi is the richest man in the world, he is basically the boss in Europe and the United States, but in China, his status is really not high.
"If this is the case, you give me a week, I still need to deal with some things, and I will report later." Van der Sel said, "I hope that the news of the introduction of these two superstars will come from me, the club CEO. Announce."
"no problem!"
Xiao Qi laughed, "I know that you can earn about 5 million US dollars a year in Pepsi. I am a straightforward person. We will sign a contract for five years first, and I will give you 10 million US dollars every year. If the operating results are good, Then let’s calculate the bonus separately, do you think it’s okay?”
"I can't refuse such a condition." Van der Sek nodded with a smile.
As the general manager of PepsiCo's Greater China region, he is indeed out of talent to come to Xiannv Football Club, but this generous salary and bonus will make up for his loss.
What's more, the Fairy Football Club is only the first step. When the Fairy Sports Group is officially launched, he will win more reputation.
Xiao Qi was also relieved to see Van der Sze go.
It's not that he doesn't want to invite famous European football managers. Although those people's salaries are several million euros, the huge salary of 10 million US dollars is still enough to make them tempted.
The key point is just like what he told Van der Sek, the operation of clubs in Huaguo is completely different from that in foreign countries. If you copy it mechanically, it is likely to be a failure.
Therefore, only elites like Van der Sel who are familiar with business operations and have a deep understanding of Huaguo's national conditions are suitable to run the club.
As for those club managers in Huaguo, Xiao Qi doesn't like any of them.
How can a person who is not an outsider commanding an expert, or who is always thinking about how to put money in his pocket, manage a good club?
There are so many idiots in Huaguo football, so it is even more messed up! (to be continued ~^~)
