Episode【286】: Ambitious Isabella

In his previous life, when Zhong Cheng met this man, he was already at the end of his career.

It was after they lost to Guangdong Evergrande coached by Lippi in the World Club Cup that the Al Ahli veteran, who was regarded as a god by fans in Egypt and the Arab region, announced his retirement at the age of 35.

But in that game, Aboutrika still left a very deep impression on Zhong Cheng.

In Zhong Cheng's view, he could continue to play for two more years. His body and skills could fully support his sports career, but he still chose to retire.

This player once attracted admiration from the likes of Robben and Zidane.

In a warm-up match, Robben's Bayern Munich team faced Al Ahli, and Aboutrika left a very deep impact on him.

Robben commented: "Ahly's No. 22 player surprised me. He even made me mistake him for Zidane playing on the court. His skills are so good. The only difference is that Zidane His movements are faster. Despite this, he is still very good. When he is on the court, he can ignite the passion of the Al-Ahli team to the maximum extent. He creates too much trouble for our defense."

It can be seen that Aboutrika surprised Robben. It is really a pity that such a player did not go to Europe to play.

When Aboutrika retired, Zidane wrote a letter to encourage him.

Yes, the private relationship between Aboutrika and Zidane is very good. Zidane once said: "It is an honor that my name can be linked to your name in this way. History A legend like you will never be forgotten.”

Yes, Aboutrika has been called the "Egyptian Zidane", the "African Zidane", the "Arab Zidane" and so on. This is really a player with great strength!

Now, Aboutrika is 31 years old.

He is no longer a stranger to many scouts in European football. Many scouts discovered him very early, but they were unable to bring him to European football.

Now that he is 31 years old, he is not young, so naturally no European clubs will be interested in him.

If he were five or six years younger, there would definitely be many European clubs wanting to take him to Europe. Unfortunately, he is now this kind of old monster player.

Such a legendary player was later designated as an anti-government terrorist by the Egyptian government. They believed that he had an affair with the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization designated by the Egyptian government, and froze all his funds and passport, and even banned him from traveling abroad!

I never thought that such a god-like player would end up like this!

When he found out about this, Zhong Cheng was also filled with sadness.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Cheng actually heard Aboutrika's message now. Zhong Cheng felt it was really strange. He never expected that he would be able to build a relationship again after resurrecting his life. It was quite fate.

Of course, Zhong Cheng still has no plans to go to South Africa. In his previous life, he didn't have much anxiety about Aboutrika. It was just that when the two teams played against each other, he stood on the sidelines and watched and got to know this player. .

To be honest, Zhong Cheng still felt a little pity for Aboutrika.

He should have gone to Europe if he had the ability, but it's a pity that he dedicated his entire career to African football!

If, if he had gone out to Europe when he was young, what would have been his ending?

At this time, the European media will naturally not use too much ink on a 31-year-old veteran. Everyone will focus on his national team teammates, another one known as "Zidane" On the players.

This player's name is Zidan, which is the same as Zidane's, so he is called "Egyptian Zidane".

The forward is currently playing for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. He performed very well in last year's African Cup and this year he performed very well against Brazil in the Confederations Cup, scoring two goals.

This 28-year-old forward is in his prime and is about to enter his peak period. Naturally, he has attracted more media attention. Many media are even still operating, saying that Bayern Munich, the top team in the Bundesliga, is preparing to introduce him this summer. The Egyptian striker.

Of course, Zhong Cheng is not very optimistic about Qi Dan.

This guy has never proven himself whether in Werder Bremen, Hamburg, or Dordmund. His scoring efficiency is very low, but his speed is indeed very fast.

Zhong Cheng doesn't need such a player.

Zhong Cheng later directly led Julia Oliveira and Isabella George to fly to China, also paying attention to the news of the Confederations Cup.

In the first group, the Spanish national team was very strong, winning three games and scoring nine points to take first place in the group. The host South Africa team has one win, one draw and one loss, ranking second in the group with four points. These two teams directly entered the knockout rounds and the semi-finals.

The situation of the second group is very complicated, so complicated that it burns your brain.

The Brazilian national team won all three games and won the first place in the group and directly advanced to the semi-finals. The competition for second place in this group is very fierce, because the remaining Egypt, Italy and the United States all have the same results, with one win, two losses and three points. The relationship between victory and defeat is also set, but well The goal difference in the United States is higher, so the American team is lucky and breaks out directly.

The second group appeared in Brazil and the United States.

The 2009 Confederations Cup semi-finals pitted Spain against the United States and Brazil against the host South Africa.

When this matchup came out, Zhong Cheng had already arrived in China.

Zhong Cheng's return to China this time was actually planned long ago, because he had very important matters to return to China to handle, so this time he didn't even go to the Confederations Cup.

The main thing for Zhong Cheng to return to China this time is to solve the problems of the coal mining company in his hands.

Because the country is currently engaged in a very famous "coal mine integration" plan. In fact, this "coal mine integration" plan has been launched in China since last year.

Last year, the Shanxi government issued a document calling for accelerating the implementation of mergers and reorganizations of coal mining companies, requiring that the number of domestic coal mines be reduced to 1,500 by 2010.

What is the main reason for this coal mine consolidation?

In fact, it is because China's resources are owned by the whole people, and because when China was still in the initial stage of development, there was an electricity shortage in the country and the supply of coal mines was insufficient, the state released part of the coal mining rights, allowing more private individuals to obtain them. Coal mining rights, the so-called "coal mine privatization" has emerged.

This was a loophole in the system back then and a special method that came out of special circumstances.

In recent years, domestic coal boss incidents have frequently appeared in front of the public, making countless people dissatisfied. After all, China's coal resources belong to the whole people, why have they now become the private property of these coal bosses?

Moreover, the state has long been aware of this loophole that was missed back then. They have long since begun to find ways to make up for it and regain the coal mining rights.

Therefore, the country is not only issuing private coal mining licenses a few years ago, but is even recycling them.

This so-called coal mine consolidation actually means closing small private coal mines, carrying out technical transformation on medium-sized coal mines, and then selling them to seven large state-owned coal mines in accordance with national team standards.

This is actually "the state advances and the people leave", and the state wants to take back private coal mining rights.

This matter is quite big for Zhong Cheng. After all, he has a very large coal mining company under his control. Jinxi is now one of the first provinces to integrate coal mines, and it is happening very rapidly here. Since last year, many small private coal mining companies have been forced to close down.

To be honest, there is no problem at all with the state taking back private coal mining rights. This thing does belong to the whole people and the state, and it is normal for the state to take it back.

And this also has many benefits, such as reducing safety hazards, because many private coal mining companies have great safety hazards. These small private coal mines are really unprofessional and accidents often occur.

In addition, it can improve production efficiency. After all, after the integration, the team will be more professional and the equipment will be more advanced. These are things that small private coal mines cannot achieve, and the efficiency will definitely be greatly improved. There is also the ability to reduce the passage of taxes and so on.

Now the country is acquiring coal mining companies, and Zhong Cheng must go back and deal with this matter now.

Zhong Cheng fully supports the national integration of this coal mining enterprise. After all, it belongs to the national team and the whole people. Zhong Cheng is now going back to discuss with Mr. Pan An to sell the coal mining company in his hands to the state as soon as possible and return it to state ownership.

Because of Zhong Cheng, Shanxi did not integrate Zhong Cheng's coal mining companies immediately. But Zhong Cheng will not make it difficult for the country, and Zhong Cheng's company is not just a coal mining company now.

After Zhong Cheng returned to China, he immediately stood up for Pan An and discussed the matter with Pan An.

Both of them reached a unanimous decision on this matter, which was to accept this integration and sell [Zhongcheng Coal Mine] to Jinxi Coking Coal Group.

Zhong Cheng left this matter entirely to Pan An to handle, but Zhong Cheng did not touch on this aspect in detail.

After solving the problem of the coal mining enterprise, Zhong Cheng went directly to the capital.

After Zhong Cheng came to the capital, he naturally went to his own [Zhong Cheng Pictures]. Now Zhong Cheng is very concerned about film and television matters. In the future, Zhong Cheng and the others will pay more attention to this aspect, because in the future , this thing is the big trend.

In the future, the entertainment industry will be really rich in money. Even if you film it well, a movie with an investment of tens of millions will earn back billions at the box office.

Zhong Cheng followed Isabella George’s footsteps and visited [Zhong Cheng Pictures].

It is worth mentioning that [Zhongcheng Pictures] has almost become a leading company under the management of Isabella George. Their company has just acquired a small piece of land in Beijing and is preparing to build their own club. Headquarters building.

Yes, Isabella George is now looking for outstanding architectural design masters all over the world, and is ready to design the future headquarters building of [Zhongcheng Pictures]. She wants to make it a landmark building in the capital. .

To be honest, Isabella George is really very ambitious.

However, Zhong Cheng is very supportive of Isabella George, which is a good thing. He is happy to see Isabella George have such fighting spirit.

Now Zhong Cheng is following Isabella George to visit every department. To be honest, Zhong Cheng is really not familiar with this place, not at all. He is really incompetent as the chairman.
