football is not round

Chapter 144, Fighting wits and courage

Next time:

The home game between Shengcheng PIP Football Club and Yanbian Football Team is going on fiercely. With the goal of the speed forward Zhang Jingyang of Shengcheng PIP Football Club, Shengcheng team leads [-]-[-].

Nuan Xiaoxi and Hua Kite stood on the balcony of the box and watched the game on the field. Since it was the first time for Hua Kate to watch a football match live, and now that her identity was different, she was very excited.

And on the balcony of another box in Mengxi Stadium, Li Jinyu, the general manager of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club, was communicating with the agent of the team player Li Xu who flew over from Shanghai.At the same time, many heavyweight transfers of Shengcheng PIP Football Club were also born.

"Okay, okay, thank you. I'll do it next week. Next week I'll go over to see where you are. Hehe..." Manager Li Xu greeted his friends from the Didu football team on the phone. "Don't worry, the summer transfer can help you choose a few good people. Don't worry, don't worry, when did I fail to do what I promised you? Hehe..."

Afterwards, Li Xu's manager hung up the phone.He opened his mouth to Li Jinyu and said: "Finally, after Zhang Enhua's confirmation, the contract version has been discussed and the details have been confirmed. I guess Zhang Enhua should know, so it should be finalized after the game."

"Well, it's almost the same as what we judged." Li Jinyu also said with a helpless smile.

"I got the information you want, you...hehe..." Li Xu's manager said with a smile.

"Hehe..." Li Jinyu smiled, and then looked at Xiao Cao beside him.

"We have already quoted 8000 million yuan back, but we have not received an answer yet." Li Jinyu's secretary, Xiao Cao, reported truthfully.

"I'm here, and I don't want you two to take more detours. Hehe..." Li Xu's manager also got straight to the point.

"Just contact me directly, and a three-party discussion will do. What do you think?" Li Jinyu was also very frank.

"Forget about the three parties. After all, our agent is not ahead of the precedent, isn't he? Hehe..." Li Xu's agent refused with a smile.

Indeed, this sentence is nothing more than Li Jinyu's words to test Li Xu's agent. He also wants to know how deeply the other party is involved in this matter, and what is his player's attitude.After all, football is a sport that focuses on human factors. If Li Xu has the intention to transfer, he will definitely not put his heart into playing the game, worrying that he will be injured.

"Well, how about I find time to make a phone call to the boss of the Shanghai team after the game? Hehe..." Li Jinyu said with a smile.

"As soon as possible, I want to go back to Shanghai early tomorrow morning and see Li Xu and Li Ping tonight." Li Xu's manager said quickly.

"In such a hurry? I was thinking of treating you to a drink after I've been busy for two days." Li Jinyu said with a smile, this sentence is indeed true.After all, the club also hopes to have a good relationship with the agent. After all, the opportunities like today are all accumulated over the past ten years.

"The summer transfer meeting will be held soon, as well as the renewal of players' contracts. And as you know, our company is now also accepting transfers from overseas markets, which means that the work of foreign aid is also left to me." Li Xu's agent said helplessly.

"Then you are a good thing. You have more business and more money." Li Jinyu said with a smile.

"But let's put it down, the transfer of foreign players is not as easy as it used to be. You need to know who the owner of the national team is. The foreign players of several big clubs are managed by his son. How can we intervene. So you can see how difficult it is for your club to become a national team. Just look at Li Xu and you will know. Hehe..." Li Xu's agent said with a smile.

"Hey..." Li Jinyu also lamented the current situation.

While Li Jinyu, the general manager of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Club, was chatting with Li Xu's agent, Nuan Xiaoxi and Hua Kate entered the box again during the halftime break in another box of Mengxi Stadium and began to eat that Nuan Xiaoxi's favorite barbecue.

"Is it delicious?" Nuan Xiaoxi handed Hua Kate a skewer of roasted pig hearts, then asked Hua Kate, and at the same time picked up a skewer of mutton and ate it.

"It's delicious, how did you find this restaurant?" Hua Kate asked Nuan Xiaoxi curiously while eating.

"When I first bought this sports equity, Zhu Guangliang and I came for a stroll, and then we stumbled into this barbecue restaurant by chance. Although Guangliang is a rigid and lazy person, he is quite generous in treating guests to dinner. If this is Ma Feifei's treat, it will be the beef noodle restaurant next door. Hehe..." Nuan Xiaoxi said jokingly.

"Hehe..." Jiang Kaile, secretary of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club next to Nuan Xiaoxi, and Xiao Sun, deputy manager of the club's external relations department, couldn't help laughing after hearing Nuan Xiaoxi's evaluation of the club's external relations manager Zhu Guangliang and club general manager assistant Ma Feifei.

"Look, the two of them agree with my evaluation, haha..." Nuan Xiaoxi pointed to Xiao Sun and Jiang Kaile beside her and said with a smile.

"Annoying, have you ever commented on the assistant to the general manager?" Hua Kate pushed Nuan Xiaoxi slightly angrily.

"Hehe..." Nuan Xiaoxi smiled mischievously.

"We played so passively in the first half, what can we do in the second half?" Hua Kite asked a little worried as he watched the replay of the first half on TV.

"It's okay, the midfielder coach has to make tactical adjustments." Nuan Xiaoxi said casually, not caring.

"Oh." Hua Kate nodded, not asking anything.

"Mr. Nuan, it seems that Li Xu's manager is here." Jiang Kaile casually reported to Nuan Xiaoxi.

"Oh." Nuan Xiaoxi nodded without saying anything.

"How about I go over to see the progress of the transfer? Since yesterday, Mr. Mao and Mr. Li have not closed their eyes all day and night. The leaders and secretaries of the club have been working overtime to follow up the progress of the transfer market in China and Europe. I think the results should start to come out now." Jiang Kaile guessed.

"Don't worry, they will come to you if they want to repay you." Nuan Xiaoxi kind of instructed.

"Understood, Mr. Nuan." After Jiang Kaile answered, he also took a sneak peek at Xiaosun, the former secretary of Nuan Xiaoxi who was beside him.

Xiao Sun was expressionless, still eating the barbecue with his head down, and handing Hua Kate a few barbecues, taking care of this so-called future proprietress or the spokesperson of the club.

After a while, Nuan Xiaoxi said: "Sort out the details of the club's sponsors and tell me, let's see if there is any room left, or if we need some leader to help."

"I've sorted it out, and I've communicated with Manager Zhu Guangliang before." Xiao Sun replied quickly, obviously judging Nuan Xiaoxi's intentions in advance.

In fact, when Nuan Xiaoxi learned last night that Klinsmann's signing was indeed not blocked, Xiao Sun had already carefully checked the list and details of the sponsorship of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club.Then, I communicated with Zhu Guangliang on the phone.

"Hello, Manager Guangliang." Xiao Sun called Zhu Guangliang politely.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Guangliang asked lazily because he had just finished meeting with Yu Houhou, the general manager of the pharmaceutical logistics company, to negotiate the acquisition of the company.

"Our club has decided to sign Klinsmann tonight, and the annual salary is 2000 million euros." Xiao Sun focused on "2000 million".

"Does Mr. Nuan know about this?" Zhu Guangliang was taken aback after hearing this. Zhu Guangliang already knew the club's sponsorship situation like the back of his hand.After all, Nuan Xiaoxi's driver last night went around negotiating sponsorship issues with local companies, so Zhu Guangliang knew what the 2000 million euros meant.

"President Nuan didn't object, so I'll call you now." Xiao Sun replied quickly.

"Sponsorship, hehe..." Zhu Guangliang smiled.

"I sorted out the existing materials, and confirmed that they have been sent to your mailbox." Xiao Sun quickly reported the current work progress.

"It's useless to look for us. We have to let Mr. Nuan go to the leader above. If the leader doesn't come forward, we can't handle it with anyone." Zhu Guangliang quickly recognized the current situation.

"So, I think Mr. Nuan will definitely ask when he comes to watch the game tomorrow, so I will communicate with you in advance." Xiao Sun said.

"Okay, I see. I'll contact the governor's secretary next week and see if I can make an appointment." Zhu Guangliang thought for a while and said.

"Don't we need to find Vice Governor Chen first? After all..." Xiao Sun hesitated.

"It's useless. We can't figure it out from the bottom of the current situation. We can only assume that if there is no income, what should we do? The first is bank loans. This is a matter for the governor to ask the governor for a word, and it will be quick to mortgage an asset at that time. The second is to find a big company for sponsorship. The province that can provide this fund now is a state-owned enterprise, or a large and medium-sized central enterprise. Thirdly, if we are looking for PIP now, which one of us can do it? Do you really think Mr. Nuan can speak well? Even Mr. Nuan, I guess he is opposed to additional investment. After all, Mr. Nuan is also a shareholder of the PIP group, and the profit is given to him as a dividend. How can he be willing to invest in this bottomless pit?" Zhu Guangliang said in a detailed analysis.

"Well, I see." Xiao Sun nodded unconsciously holding the phone.

"Tomorrow Nuan always asks, let him come to me directly. I will contact him tonight for a meeting time, so as to save time when the time comes."

"But isn't President Nuan planning to go to the market in second-tier cities next week?" Xiao Sun reminded.

"How old is our province? The governor can see him for more than 10 minutes, ha ha..." Zhu Guangliang said with a smile.

"Okay, I see." After Xiao Sun finished speaking, Zhu Guangliang hung up the phone.

When Nuan Xiaoxi asked about the sponsorship today, Xiao Sun quickly answered Nuan Xiaoxi.

"Study it for a while, and then you call Zhu Guangliang to confirm the time to meet the leader." Nuan Xiaoxi ordered.

"Mr. Nuan, we have six billboards that expire at the end of the year, one of which was sold to Xiaoxin Pharmaceutical Factory and is being replaced. In addition, I have communicated with the other five by phone before, and I am more active in renewing the contract. As for the price, we are still not very optimistic. We have not responded to our offer of 500 million a year." Xiaosun said.

"I can't even answer 500 million. Even if I do, it's only 2500 million, equivalent to 300 million euros. Hehe..." Nuan Xiaoxi shook her head and smiled.

"It is true, but we can only do our best. Now if we signed the contract at 500 million, we would have increased the price by 60.00% compared to the same period last year. Such an increase is not small. Moreover, our current price is only lower than that of the first-tier clubs in the top domestic leagues." Xiao Sun said.

"Yes, I know. But our reality is also difficult. Even if it is raised to 600 million, if it can be 100 million more, we will have 100 million more room for manipulation in the future." Nuan Xiaoxi's attitude is more difficult.

"Yeah." Xiao Sun nodded.

After a while, Nuan Xiaoxi looked up at Xiao Sun while eating, and said, "You will inform the remaining five companies that if you don't renew the contract for 500 million a year before next Wednesday, there will be no such price. Then, let Zhu Guangliang contact Governor Zhou, and I will go to the pier in person. If you don't believe it, you can't sign 5 million for 3000 brands."

"Well, I see." Xiao Sun looked at Nuan Xiaoxi at this time, and it was exactly the same as Zhu Guangliang's judgment last night.

Afterwards, Xiao Sun put down the food in his hand, and then ran to the outside room to deal with communication matters.

In the private room, Nuan Xiaoxi, Hua Kate, and Nuan Xiaoxi's secretary Jiang Kaile were sitting there quietly eating. The air in the room began to cool down even though the issue of the club's operating funds was mentioned just now.

"What are you thinking? Hehe..." Nuan Xiaoxi suddenly noticed Hua Kite's anxious expression while eating.

"Oh..." Hua Kite was taken aback by Nuan Xiaoxi's sudden cry, "I didn't think about anything, I just thought about what to do in the second half." Hua Kite was not troubled by Nuan Xiaoxi's financial problems, but the passive situation in front of him did make Hua Kate very worried.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.

This chapter is over.

Postscript (interlude, tidbits, extra episodes):

Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club played against Yanbian Football Team at home. At the end of the first half, the score was still scored by the speedy forward Zhang Jingyang of Shengcheng Football Team in the first half, making Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club [-]-[-] ahead of Yanbian Football Team, which was playing away.

The coaches above the benches on both sides of the field were very anxious. The head coach of the Yanbian team had already stood on the sidelines and directed for a full 10 minutes.It's not so much knowing, it's more like standing anxiously on the sidelines more often.

The coaches of the Yanbian team coaches whispered to each other about the situation on the scene and their own countermeasures and judgments, while the assistant coaches of the Yanbian team collected suggestions, especially for the coach in charge of offense.

"At present, Li Qingcheng, the right back of the Shengcheng football team, is a weak point. I can focus on it. And strengthen the offense at this position. You find that without Li Qingcheng, you can't attack at all. It means that there is only one Li Xu left on the two wings, so our defensive pressure will be relatively better." The Yanbian team's offensive coach and the Yanbian team's assistant coach said.

"However, our breakthrough ability is not good at this position. Li Qingcheng can't attack, and we can't attack. Now we can only go in with two high balls from the wing, and the headers of Zhang Enhua and Li Weifeng are too strong." Yanbian team assistant coach said.

"In this way, we are replacing a few people on the wing, so as to strive for a partial two-on-one. How about strengthening the style of cutting from the wing to the penalty area of ​​the Shengcheng football team, and ensuring that the pass is mainly low and flat?" The coach in charge of the Yanbian team's offense gave new suggestions.

"Well, yes, I will report to the head coach later. What about another substitution? Any ideas?" The assistant coach of the Yanbian team asked the offensive coach of the Yanbian team.

"It depends on physical strength. In the second half, I tend to make substitutions. What do you think?" the Yanbian team's offensive coach suggested.

"Well, well, I see." After the Yanbian team assistant coach collected the offensive opinions, he went to collect the opinions of the defensive coach step by step.

Before halftime, the head coach of the Yanbian football team walked to the coach's bench, and the assistant coach hurriedly communicated with him.Then, during the intermission, in the lounge of the Yanbian football team, the head coach of the Yanbian team began to re-arrange the tactics.

The coaching bench of another team in Mengxi Stadium was also busy. Before the intermission, the head coach of Shengcheng Piruk Football Club was in close communication with his assistant coach.

"Ma Fei thinks the second half is about to start, Xiao Zhao's organization is really bad." Said the assistant coach of Shengcheng football team.

"Well, yes. I think the formation should also be changed. Now the biggest problem is that the midfielder can't control the football." Pi Luke, head coach of the Shengcheng football team, said.

"I suggest playing [-], let Ma Fei replace Li Ping. Ma Fei plays left back, Li Xu plays right back, Li Weifeng and Zhang Enhua play double center back. Midfielder Li Tie and Xiao Zhao dragged behind, Zhang Jingyang and Li Qingcheng walked two sides to the front, Ike came back, and let Goetze pull the gap. In the midfield, Ike and Goetze will hold the ball. If Goetze still can't hold the ball in the second half, I suggest Chen Lei go up. What do you think?" suggested that.

"Yes, this plan is good. I am quite satisfied, you can arrange it now."

Later, during the intermission, the head coach of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Club, Pi Luke, arranged it like this.However, there was a little change. In the second half, the Shengcheng team had two substitutions and adjustments.In addition to the previous assistant coach suggesting that Ma Fei replace central defender Li Ping, Piruk also directly replaced Gotze with foreign forward James, and did not plan to give Gotze a little more time according to the previous thinking.

"We can't relax like this in the second half. We must remember that the next round is an away game against Hangzhou, the No.

"Champion!" The players of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club also responded loudly.

In this way, the second half of the match between Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club and Yanbian Football Team began.
