Chapter 844: Draft (Part 1)
Yang's mother stayed in Shanghai for half a month. After she cleaned up the room, she boarded the plane to Chengdu with Yang's father who came from her hometown, and was seen off by a group of new sisters.
Yang Dongxu originally wanted to go with her to see his elder sister, but Yang's mother gave him the task of taking good care of Zhou Ya, so it was the younger sister who had nothing to do who followed.
"Is Fu Chaming's child going to have a hundred-day banquet?" On the way back from seeing his parents off, Yang Dongxu drove and Zhou Ya sat in the co-pilot seat.
Since getting married, Zhou Ya's focus has been on those overseas companies and investments for a while, but she has also devoted some energy to housework, such as the gifts for relatives and friends' weddings, and the birth of children. She took good care of everything, which made Yang's mother like this daughter-in-law to the core.
"It should be next month, I don't remember the time. But Mr. Fu just passed away, they are holding a 100-day banquet for the child to celebrate, or mourning for the old man. I don't know if they will hold it or not. But I have asked Aunt Cui to prepare gifts. If they don't hold it, I will find someone to send it over. If they hold it, I will arrange a time to go there." Yang Dongxu said while driving.
"Little Tiger is about to go on vacation. Aunt Hua said that he doesn't want to go to school anymore. He quarreled with his mother about this matter. Sister Guihua was so angry that she wanted to take her back to her hometown to the graves of his deceased grandfather and father, and let Little Tiger talk to the elders of the Nalan family himself."
"He mentioned it to me when he went to Hong Kong last time. He said he wanted to be a football player. You know he liked playing football when he was a child. It is said that his football skills are really good now. He has worked hard." Yang Dongxu said.
Although he liked to bully Little Tiger since he was a child, he would bully him whenever he had nothing to do. Although he is not much older than Xiao Hutou, Yang Dongxu really puts himself in the position of an elder to take care of Xiao Hutou. So for the future of the child, he wants to respect Xiao Hutou's own choice, and also wants to give him some plans based on his own experience, so that he can avoid some detours.
"What do you think?" Zhou Ya glanced at her husband.
"If he really wants to play football, then play football. After all, he is still young now. Even if he can't make a name for himself in four or five years, he is only in his twenties and it won't delay him to make other life plans."
"Then I'll go and do some work for Sister Guihua." Zhou Ya nodded. The man is charging in the front, and the woman naturally has to do a good job of the aftermath.
"Then you'd better mention it when you do ideological work. If you really support Xiao Hutou to play football, you must send him abroad. He can't make a name for himself in China. Since we want to do it, we should work hard in the best direction. Even if we fail in the end, we won't let Xiao Hutou regret it." Yang Dongxu reminded.
"Which foreign team are you going to send him to? It's not easy to get into a strong team, and those foreign teams have their own youth training camps. Little Tiger is not old enough to play football, but they don't want him without youth training camp experience." Zhou Ya asked.
"I have thought about this issue. If we really send him abroad, we must first find some professionals to make a comprehensive evaluation of Little Tiger, and send him to where he is suitable to play to hone his skills."
"How is the team acquisition going?" Zhou Ya continued to ask.
When Yang Dongxu acquired the NBA team, he planned to acquire a football team. As a result, NBA teams have become popular candidates for the championship after strengthening in recent years, but the football team has not been successfully acquired.
"We are still negotiating, but the negotiations are almost over. This time, the Internet bubble has brought bad luck to many people. Barcelona's management has been a bit chaotic in recent years, and this year is even worse. The negotiation team has already won the shares of several shareholders. If we win over those major shareholders, Barcelona will basically belong to us completely." Yang Dongxu smiled and was a little excited.
Football is the world's largest sport, and the value of football stars is the highest among all sports. Although Yang Dongxu is not a senior football fan, he is still a fan, so he is naturally excited about the acquisition of a powerful team like Barcelona.
"Why do you have to focus on La Liga? I heard that Serie A is the best league in football at present." Zhou Ya arranged the acquisition of the team before. After all, she is more familiar with overseas capital operations than Yang Dongxu. So Yang Dongxu insisted on acquiring a La Liga team, and the choice given was either Barcelona or Real Madrid. She was very curious.
Although both Barcelona and Real Madrid are top giants now, La Liga is indeed weaker than Serie A, and many stars are either in AC Milan or Inter Milan. Many stars who want to play well also want to prove themselves in Serie A.
"Serie A is indeed the most successful football league, but it is also because of its success that there are many shady dealings. Even if many team managers don't want to admit it, it is undeniable that gambling is one of the reasons why football is so popular. Even if it is not the main factor, it is a secondary factor."
"Will Serie A have problems?" Zhou Ya was stunned.
"Ask someone in the circle and you will know that some people have made so much money that they are becoming more and more unscrupulous. Such a league will have problems sooner or later. So I don't want to fall into a cesspool just after acquiring a team. It's better to prepare for a rainy day as soon as possible.
And now there are constant disputes among the management of Barcelona, and even the contradictions between the head coach and the management are prominent. It's a good time to take over Barcelona now. Even if it's just an investment, the return will double in two years." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Yang Dongxu obviously bought Barcelona because he wanted to become the coal king in a few years. People in later generations often say that Messi's success is because he is in Barcelona, and it is Barcelona that made him brilliant.
But the opposite is also true. Messi's success has revived Barcelona, the former giant, and let more people around the world know Barcelona. Yang Dongxu doesn't know about others, but at least he likes Messi and then knows Barcelona.
But it's a bit early to talk about Messi now. After all, Messi, who was born in 1987, is only thirteen years old this year. He was just spotted by the coach and brought to Barcelona to participate in the trial training in September this year. In the eyes of many people, whether this boy with dwarfism can stay in Barcelona's youth training camp is a problem. No one pays attention to this child.
So it is certain that Barcelona will be taken over and Messi will be well trained, but more importantly, Yang Dongxu wants to intercept Ronaldo Dinho, the elf of football.
Although many fans later joked that this football elf was a senior prostitute who was delayed by football, you have to admit that this Brazilian star, whose private life is indeed a bit chaotic, is great. He is a symbol of this era and a dancing elf on the field who is absolutely unique in dribbling.
According to the information he inquired, Ronaldinho's contract with Gremio will expire this year. Although many teams are interested in this rising young man, the price they offer is not high.
The most competitive team at present is Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, but the financial situation of this team has always been worrying, so the price of dismissal is only the best among the teams that are interested in Ronaldinho first.
Yang Dongxu has urged the negotiation team to hurry up and make some concessions on the acquisition price. After taking over Barcelona, he plans to intercept Hu from Paris Saint-Germain and sign this footballer who will be the best in a few years to the team three years in advance.
Let Barcelona, which is currently in a poor performance, get rid of the current flat period as soon as possible. Since he has spent money, he is naturally not equal to Barcelona. The Dream II Dynasty will revive after 2003. Why waste a few more years if it can revive a few years earlier?
Yang Dongxu has already thought about taking over Barcelona in the summer transfer window, and then start spending a lot of money to sign stars. Real Madrid's Galaxy Battleship can also play with it.
And unlike the Galaxy Battleship's rich style of signing whoever is popular, Barcelona can also play a little connotation and cultivate its own superstars in advance, such as Ronaldinho, who must be taken this year, Messi, who is trained for the future, and those players who are not very famous at present, but will be very awesome in the future. They are all his targets.
For an ordinary fan, all the names that can make him remember and familiar are definitely stars with good results and reputations. After taking them early, you can make a lot of money without buying tickets and selling stars.
As for signing so many talented stars and the current football stars, the team's performance is not good enough, it must be the problem of the head coach. He doesn't mind imitating the Russian rich and turning the firing of coaches into one of his labels.
Of course, Barcelona is still in negotiations, although there is a high probability of taking over Big, everything can only be a plan before signing. Now he must first confirm Dayao's NBA draft.
Because the NBA draft had already begun at the end of June, Yao Ming, as a yellow man, appeared in the NBA draft field dominated by whites and blacks, which attracted a lot of attention.
Especially his height and delicate touch, many teams' scouts began to pay attention to and inquire about him. After all, many NBA teams these days love big centers.
However, because he had never played in the American college league, although Yao Ming had good height and skills, most teams were still hesitant about him. After all, in terms of physical confrontation, yellow people are indeed not as good as whites and blacks who have innate advantages.
At the same time, there has been no precedent of yellow people appearing in the NBA arena before, and the draft picks in the hands of each team are very valuable. This round of draft may have teams choosing to gamble, but no one is willing to take out the first round draft picks to choose this uncertain factor.
After all, the 2000 NBA draft was rated as one of the worst drafts in NBA history, if not the worst, a few years later.
But at present, it seems that most teams still feel that all rookies are full of talent. For example, Kenyon Martin, the absolute No. 1 pick, is regarded as a fake No. 1 pick by later generations, but he is also nicknamed the "inside gate". In this era of loving big centers, many teams are scrambling to get him.
So seeing so many talented rookies, exchanging a second-round draft pick can basically secure Yao Ming. Therefore, the manager of the 76ers team has been carefully operating this matter during this period. After all, this is a deadly task issued by the big boss. If he fails to complete it, he will just pack up and leave.
