Three Hundred and Seventieth Chapters Help

Although they only made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League, the Porto fans seemed happier than winning the Portuguese League Cup. When the Porto players were training the next day, there were still two or three thousand fans watching, looking for Gao Dong, Falcao, Hu Erke and other rising stars signed autographs and took a group photo.

Porto chairman Da Costa kept his word, and gave the Porto players the bonus for reaching the Champions League semi-finals the next day, and invited the players to have a big meal at noon.

It was a holiday in the afternoon, and when he returned home, Gao Dong saw that Chen Qiang, Huang An, and Zhang Liang were all there, and asked in surprise, "Brother Chen, President Huang, and Editor Zhang, why are you all here?"

Chen Qiang said with a chuckle, "This time it's a one-shot fame, let's come over and congratulate you."

Zhang Liang sighed: "It is to play against a giant like Manchester United. You see, after winning against Manchester United, the whole of Europe is now talking about you."

Gao Dong said: "If you don't win, you will draw two games."

Chen Qiang said: "It's no different from winning. Anyway, Manchester United was eliminated."

Huang An pointed to the two bottles of Moutai on the tea table, and said, "I brought all the wine from my hometown. Today we need to get drunk."

Gao Dong smiled and said: "Mr. Huang is not greedy, I am in a tight competition right now, so I can't drink."

Huang An said with a smile: "You won't be allowed to drink, we will drink, you will be the referee, don't let Chen Qiang play tricks."

Gao Dong said with a smile: "I'm the best at this job, but our chairman just invited us to eat this morning, we can't eat now, at least let me rest my stomach, and eat more when the time comes."

Xiao Le said: "You are promising, okay, you are almost becoming a big star now."

Chen Qiang said: "Dong's temper can't be changed even after becoming a superstar."

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Why do you want to change it? I think Dong's like this is good, down-to-earth. I hope Dong will really become a superstar in the future, just like he is now."

Gao Dong grinned and said, "What about Editor Zhang? Don't think I'm still a million miles away from a superstar. Even if I really become a superstar, can I change someone else?"

Huang An said: "Dong, I can no longer be called Editor-in-Chief Zhang, but Chairman Zhang."

Gao Dong said in surprise, "Chairman Zhang? What's going on here?"

Chen Qiang said enviously: "Editor Zhang's career is booming, and now he has established an Iberian investment company.

"Puhua News" can only be regarded as a subsidiary of the investment company. "

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "I have to thank Dong when I wake up. Since the arrival of winter, our "Portuguese Chinese News" has always been able to get the exclusive news of Dong, and the influence and development of "Portuguese Chinese News" have become more and more important. The sooner it is, now it has expanded from the 32nd edition to the 2nd edition, and it is precisely because of this that I have the confidence to establish this investment company, Dong, I must toast you a few times at dinner."

Huang An sighed and said, "Zhang Liang and Chen Qiang, you two are hugging Dong's thigh. I'm just drinking and drinking, and I have something to brag about."

Chen Qiang sighed, and said depressedly: "With Dong's current popularity and reputation, domestic sponsorship contracts must be chosen randomly, but I am stuck in this stall in Portugal. I can't throw it away, and I can't keep it."

Gao Dong asked in surprise, "What's wrong with Portugal?"

Chen Qiang said: "After President Nan came to power, he really gave up the Star of Hope project, and Adidas also refused to invest in the Star of Hope. Now all the expenses of the Star of Hope children are covered by our Xinglong Brokerage Culture Company. Bear, this is a bottomless pit, forty or fifty children, a day's food, clothing, housing and transportation plus the salary of coaches and management staff, this is not a number, the key is that we don't know when it will end."

Huang An sighed: "It will take at least three years for this group of children to become talented. After three years, it's not good how many will be successful. If they can't compete in Europe, how much can they sell for when they return to China? I think you might as well give the star of hope The team is disbanded."

Gao Dong said: "Brother Chen, can't you find another sponsor?"

Chen Qiang said helplessly: "Huaguo football is already like this. There are almost no merchants in the Huaguo National League. Who will support this long-term youth training?"

Gao Dong said: "Then let's disband."

Chen Qiang said: "The key is that it is not easy to disband. These people have training contracts with the Football Association and Xinglong Brokerage Culture Company. Those who have club relations are fine. They have already returned to China six times. People like Dong have no club relations. Yes, there are also some who broke away from the club in order to go abroad, how can I send them back, there are dozens of them, I really don’t care about it, how will our Xinglong Brokerage and Culture Company mess around in Huaguo football in the future.”

Gao Dong was speechless, and said: "It looks like this is really a hot potato that is not easy to throw away."

Huang An sighed: "I hope Star of Hope can produce a super new star like Dong, so that you can get back your money at once."

Chen Qiang sighed and said: "Don't make a winter, even a few Yang Fans are fine. Unfortunately, most of these people are now playing in the Portuguese C and Portuguese B or even regional leagues."

Zhang Liang laughed and said, "Only Dong is a genius, and he doesn't have a club. In the end, he was kicked out of the Star of Hope by the leader of the Football Association. Fifty million euros, it’s as cheap as Porto.”

Chen Qiang said with great remorse: "It's all that bastard Li Sheng, otherwise Hope Star's life will be easier."

When Xiao Le heard Li Sheng, he said indignantly: "He has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai."

"There is no regret medicine in the world, so don't mention the past." Huang An said with a smile: "Chen Qiang, I will take responsibility for you. If you are short of money, I will help you deal with it. If there is too much, I will pay you one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand euros." have."

Gao Dong also said: "Brother Chen, it's really not easy to turn around. I still have hundreds of thousands of euros here, and I don't have much use for it. You use it first."

Chen Qiang couldn't help shaking his head, and said: "Thank you, I can still support the funds for the time being, but it is a difficult problem to train the children of Hope Star."

Zhang Liang said: "Brother Chen, my investment company has just been established, so this money can't help you, but where are your difficulties, I'll see if I can give you an idea and find a relationship."

Chen Qiang said: "Although the group of Hope Stars has passed away many top-notch players, the rest of these children also have great potential among Huaguo's football seedlings.

Their current problem is that they cannot compete with young players from South America and Africa, and they have no games to play. At their age, how can they grow quickly if they only play games without training.

I have two plans now. One is to set up a league similar to the regional league, gather all the players of the stars of hope, and set up a team, so that games and training are guaranteed.

The other is to find an investor to cooperate and buy a Portugal C or Portugal B club, so that the players of the star of hope can directly participate in the Portuguese league. "

Gao Dong said: "I'm afraid the first one is not very reliable. The establishment of a league is easy to establish. Who will play it? It's better to buy a team."

Zhang Liang mused, "It would cost at least a few million euros to buy a Portugal C underdog. The key is that the Portuguese Football Association may not sell it. It is easy to establish a league, but I am afraid the quality of the participating teams is not high."

Chen Qiang said: "Brother Zhang is right, the Portuguese Football Association and these clubs don't want to sell, they just want to give us some shares and let us spend money to invest. I haven't found an investor, so I am now preparing to set up a league of hope, to bring hope Star players gather together to compete."

Gao Dong originally wanted me to help you invest, but when he heard that Portugal C would cost several million euros, he immediately shut up, because his entire family fortune was only five or six million euros.

Zhang Liang said: "If you can't buy a team, this is a good idea. As long as this group of people grows up and can enter the Portuguese League and play in other leagues, you will be able to operate."

Chen Qiang said: "There are still many relationships to coordinate. Dong, Brother Zhang, you have a lot of contacts in Portugal, and you may need your help."

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Although I have been in Portugal for so many years, if I want top connections, I might as well be Dong. As long as Dong finds Da Costa or Mendes, everything will be settled."

At this time, Gao Dong was not humble, and said: "Brother Chen, whenever you need me to find someone, just give it to me, and I will go find Da Costa and Mendes."

Chen Qiang said with emotion: "I don't care if I make money or not. It's about the future of forty or fifty children, so I won't be hypocritical. Dong, Brother Zhang, I will rely on your help when the time comes."

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "No problem, it's a success, just invite me to a table."

Gao Dong smiled and said, "Count me in."

Chen Qiang said: "That is necessary, I will toast you and Dong later."

Gao Dong agreed to help, half of Chen Qiang's concerns were resolved, and then the five of them smiled, and when Hou Zi, Yang Fan, and Yu Debao arrived, the eight of them went to the Cultural Hotel, which was selected as one of the top 100 hotels in Porto, and had a big meal. After dinner, they went their separate ways.
