Chapter 918 Refuse to Reconcile
Gao Xiaodong was a little surprised and said, "Brother Chen, what does Yida have to do with us?"
Chen Qiang said: "Have you heard that Yida Group is planning to sponsor the Football Association recently?"
Gao Xiaodong shook his head, "I didn't pay attention."
Chen Qiang said: "Yida Group is negotiating with the General Administration of Sports and is preparing to sponsor the Football Association with RMB 500 million in three years to help the Football Association hire world-class foreign teachers to coach the national team; select young players to study in Europe; name the Chinese Super League and Youth League; explore reform of referees Assessment and reward system; sponsoring the national women’s football team and naming the women’s football league…”
Gao Xiaodong thought for a while and said, "Yida wants to get Gao Bo, right? What does it have to do with us?"
Chen Qiang said: "It is certain that Yida Group wants to do something about Gao Bo, but it also threatens our interests. Doesn't Yida want to send young people to study in Europe? I heard from friends within the Football Association that Yida Group wants us to This group of players from the Star of Hope are going to pass.”
"What?" When Gao Xiaodong heard this, he became anxious and said angrily: "Are you trying to rob someone? Back then, the players of the Star of Hope were only sent out for more than a year, but the Football Association and Adidas didn't care. The expenses were paid by you and I paid for it together. Without us, this Hope Star team would have been disbanded long ago."
Chen Qiang said with a gloomy face: "This group of players are now around 20 years old and are about to produce results. Even if one or two players perform, let alone you, even if they can reach the level of Sun Hai and Zheng Hua, their worth will be higher than that of Sun Hai and Zheng Hua." It costs 3 to 5 million euros, and Yida Group has a very good idea. It wants to spend 500 million yuan in three years to snatch away more than 30 promising seedlings.”
Gao Xiaodong slapped the table, his job jumped up, and he cursed angrily: "The worth of more than 30 players is definitely more than 20 million euros. Yida Group wants to earn the reputation of saving Chinese football, and also wants to reap benefits. , I really think everyone else is a fool."
Chen Qiang said: "This group of Stars of Hope is the wealth of our Xinglong Agency, and we must not give it to Yida Group easily. However, the ownership of these players is relatively vague. We trained them on our behalf at the time. Later, our domestic football team turned against gambling. Crack down on gangsters, and no one will care about the players of Star of Hope. If they are disbanded, they will be disbanded..."
Before Chen Qiang finished speaking, Gao Xiaodong interrupted Chen Qiang and said: "Is there still an ownership issue now? I remember you said at the time that the remaining players should give their ownership to Xinglong Agency."
Chen Qiang said: "Yes, I said so. Some players from relatively wealthy families have bought out their training fees and severed ties with their original clubs or football associations. Some players from poor family backgrounds still belong to their original clubs and football associations. We bought out their training fees from their original clubs and the Football Association, but a third of the players wanted to stay in Europe, but their clubs were unwilling to sell their ownership to us, so they continued to train with us. "
When Gao Xiaodong heard this,
Depressedly said: "Brother Chen, you are so kind. If the ownership is not sold to us, why should we train them? We are not the National Football Association or a charity. In this case, if they want to leave, we have no way. "
Chen Qiang sighed and said: "Among these players whose ownership is unknown, there are also very capable players like Wei Hao and Yu Debao."
When Gao Xiaodong heard that the matter was so complicated, he couldn't help but scratch his head and said, "Brother Chen, what are you going to do now?"
Chen Qiang said: "Didn't I come to discuss with you? Gaobo must be in conflict with Yida Group now, so I want to join forces with Gaobo to boycott the cooperation between the Football Association and Yida, at least not to let the Football Association support Yida Group Claim ownership of the Star of Hope.”
Gao Xiaodong said disdainfully: "Yida Group is a domestic real estate giant with annual revenue of tens of billions. What ability does Gao Bo have to compete with Yida?"
Chen Qiang said: "You don't understand the complicated relationships in domestic football. Gao Bo is not alone. He also has the support of many Football Association officials. The words of these officials also have a certain weight. Besides, I think our main weight is you." , if you agree to join the national team, I think the Football Association will not make it difficult for us for the star of hope."
Gao Xiaodong pondered for a moment, then turned to the monkey who had been listening quietly and said, "What do you think?"
Monkey said: "The ownership of the Star of Hope people is very important, but I think whether Xiaodong can join the national team, how he can join the national team, and how he performs in the national team are more important. If for the sake of the Star of Hope people, Xiaodong can be allowed to join the national team." The national team is uncomfortable playing and is restricted in every aspect, which affects Xiaodong’s reputation, so it’s not worth it.”
Xiao Le said: "Yes, Xiaodong is now a superstar with an income of 20 to 30 million euros a year. How can he change his career plan because of people like Star of Hope?"
This is not because Monkey and Xiao Le look down on the people of Hope Star, but because Gao Xiaodong is too popular now, and he is still young. He still has at least ten years of career. Even if he relies on annual salary alone, ten years will be enough. 100 million euros, it would not be worthwhile if Gao Xiaodong's career plan was affected by people like Star of Hope.
Chen Qiang said: "Monkey, Xiao Le, will Xiaodong never join the national team? Since he will join the national team sooner or later, why not take this opportunity to solve some problems."
Monkey said: "I don't think it's a good time to join the national team. I'm not optimistic about Gao Bo's coaching level, and his character is not very good. A few days ago, someone from the Liaotai Club he coached publicly mocked him on Weibo. , I am not optimistic about Xiaodong's cooperation with him. In addition, once Gao Bo unexpectedly dismisses class, the new head coach may also have opinions about Xiaodong."
Chen Qiang said: "I have thought about what you said, but I think with Xiaodong's current fame and status, no matter which coach takes office, he will not dare to give Xiaodong shoes."
Monkey said: "It's hard to say. Cantona is very good, but Jacquet still doesn't use him.
Chen Qiang asked: "Can the Chinese team compete with the French team?"
Monkey said: "The goals of the national football team cannot be compared with those of the French team."
While Hou Hou and Chen Qiang were arguing, Gao Xiaodong thought about all the situations and made a decision before interrupting the argument between the two and said: "I definitely want to enter the national team, but I don't want to cooperate with Gao Bo , I don’t like people who break their promises, wait until Gao Bo gets out of class before considering joining the national team. We definitely cannot give the ownership of the Star of Hope players to Yida Group, not to mention it is an asset worth hundreds of millions, even if it is just one piece We can’t give money away for free, otherwise we will file a lawsuit with them.”
Chen Qiang said: "We are not afraid of lawsuits for those we have ownership of, but those who don't have ownership are in trouble. Under the pressure of the Football Association, maybe they will leave."
Gao Xiaodong said: "Let's hold off for now. When Xinglong Agency grows, we can send players to major clubs. At that time, even if we expel these players, they will not leave."
Gao Xiaodong refused to cooperate with Gao Bo. Chen Qiang was not surprised. However, he had already told Gao Xiaodong that he was worthy of Gao Bo and said: Well, anyway, with the poor nature of the Football Association, the cooperation with Yida Group will probably take a long time. Put it off until the second half of the year and wait until then. "
Gao Xiaodong said: "Let's hold off for now, let's do whatever we have to do. Even if we really can't keep him in the end, we still have to ask for a severe compensation from them. Anyway, we won't let Yida and the Football Association take advantage of it in vain."
Monkey said: "Xiaodong is right. No one in Europe has taken advantage of us. We are still afraid of those people in China."
Gao Xiaodong said: "Brother Chen hasn't been here for a long time. Sister Xiaole will cook some more hometown dishes tonight and let's have a good dinner."
"Okay, you must have a good drink tonight." Chen Qiang felt relaxed after hearing that Gao Xiaodong and Hou Hou didn't take this matter to heart.
