Chapter 62 The Information Disclosed by Informed Sources

Long Bisheng and a group of people were stunned. Except for Long Bisheng and Wu Bufan's family's not-so-good conditions, everyone else's family conditions were decent, and even the surrounding family was a small rich family, but in their opinion, tens of thousands was already a lot, and Liu Lin actually said that the annual income of the Football Association exceeded [-] million!

For them, [-] million RMB is just a number that exists in their imagination, and Wu Bufan couldn't help but say, "Don't be fooling around—[-] million, I've seen the Football Association's office building on TV, it's just such a dilapidated two-story building, it doesn't look like a unit with an annual income of [-] million."

"It is a fact that their office building is old, but it is also a fact that their annual income is [-] million yuan." Liu Lin said with a smile.

"How do you know? We often read football newspapers, but no newspaper has published such news." Li Jie couldn't help asking.

"Of course it won't be published in newspapers, but we can find some information to judge." Liu Lin said naturally: "For example, in the past two years, the "Sports Round" published that the number of billboards drawn by the Football Association each year has been greatly reduced, from 12 yuan to four. There is another report that the best billboard income in the national league is Yunjia Tianyu, which reached 1000 million a year. The income of a club on billboards is about 600 million, and the income of the Football Association on the billboards of a club is about 800 million. There are 100 A-A teams and 4000 A-B teams in the country.

Long Bisheng and the others looked at each other. They had been stunned by Liu Lin for a long time, but they also began to admire Liu Lin from the bottom of their hearts. What he said was indeed similar to what was occasionally reported in some media, but ordinary fans would not care about this, but he was keenly aware of the connection, and judged the approximate income of the Football Association for a year-maybe as long as he was careful, he could discover these things, but what was even more frightening was that he didn't specifically memorize these things, but just said them casually-what kind of memory ability is this? Ah!

"Damn, why do you remember these things so clearly when you have nothing to do? Have nothing to do?" Asked frantically around.

"No, I just jotted it down when I read it. I like to think about these things when I'm free. I like the feeling of figuring everything out." Liu Lin said with a smile.

"You are awesome." The surrounding swallowed a mouthful of spit and said with difficulty.

"But I really didn't expect the Football Association to earn so much a year...what the hell are they doing?" Zhang Yi couldn't help but said, for a current A-A club, if it can invest [-] million a year, it is really a huge investment.

"You can't say that. After all, the Football Association has a lot to do throughout the year." Liu Lin explained: "The training of youth national teams at all levels, the league composition of young echelons like ours, the national league for domestic university and high school students, the divisional league for junior high schools, the training mechanism for women's football... etc. All of these must be invested. Now the Football Association is still running football schools across the country, providing free training facilities for elementary to junior high schools in some areas with a good football tradition, etc. These places spend a lot of money."

"This is the same as what is taken from the people and used by the people." Dai Guangming said with a smile.

"Yes." Liu Lin nodded.

Hu Gandang is concerned about another question: "How about the strength of players in other clubs and our age group? Are there any outstanding players?"

Liu Lin spread his hands: "You really think I know everything... I don't know about this, because there is no news about it in the newspaper."

The others chimed at the same time, and Liu Lin shouted, "Please, I'm only 12 years old. Besides the newspapers, how can I get this information? Besides, the newspapers don't report this now."

The others rushed away and ignored him, Liu Lin couldn't help but get angry.

"It's really a declining world, people's hearts are not ancient, and they start ignoring people if they don't ask what they want to know, beasts." Liu Lin pretended to be emotional for a long time, but the others were still the same. After getting along with each other for the past few days, they already knew that Liu Lin was not only well-informed and knowledgeable, but also had a big mouth.

Liu Lin rolled his eyeballs, and then suddenly laughed a few times - as soon as they heard this voice, other people knew that this guy might be holding back something again, and maybe he wanted to say something to make others focus on him!

Sure enough, Liu Lin cleared his throat, and seemed to be talking to himself, "Well, I heard a piece of news two days ago, and I was going to tell you about it, but since you're not interested... then I'd better not say it."

The others were still busy with their own affairs, Dai Guangming and Long Bisheng were reading a book, Zhang Yi was chatting with his surroundings about a movie that was released a few days ago, Hu Gandang was listening to music with a headset, Li Jie and Wu Bufan moved a table to wrestle their arms.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Liu Lin was not annoyed, and continued to say slowly: "This news is related to our school. If we know it in advance, then we may take the initiative in the future competition...Since you are not interested, then I will not talk about it."

Liu Lin had found their weakness. If Liu Lin was talking about something else, they probably wouldn’t have shown any strong interest—but what Liu Lin was talking about was something related to Yunjia Tianyu Football School, and it also involved future competition.
And they also know that Liu Lin can often tell some news that interests everyone, and these news are often correct-in this case, it is not unacceptable to give this guy some face.

"Hey, Boss Liu Lin, who said we are not interested anymore, we are interested! Come on, tell me, we like to hear news from Boss Liu the most!" Surrounding Tian came up to him with a stern face, and winked at the others desperately.

"Yes, yes." Zhang Yi, who is also a gossip guy, immediately agreed. Dai Guangming smiled and then nodded. The more honest Long Bisheng and Wu Bufan also nodded at the same time. They also wanted to hear what news Liu Lin could tell.

"Huh? It seems that some comrades are not very enthusiastic? How can this kind of immodest attitude work? The so-called shameless asking, not to mention that I am so tall, so high that you look up to me, how can such an attitude improve." Liu Linde pointed to Hu Gandang and Li Jie who seemed not very enthusiastic, and said with his nostrils up.

"Hey..." Li Jie stood up, Hu Gandang took off the earphones slowly, and then stood beside Liu Lin with Li Jie, one on the left and one on the right. With a little force, Liu Lin immediately screamed.

"It's alright, alright, I said... don't use violence, fight with words and not fight with martial arts..." Liu Lin waved his hands and moved away from the two barbarians. Li Jie shouted: "Stop talking nonsense! Say it!"

"Why are you in a hurry." Liu Lin forgot the pain after the scar healed, and said slowly while arranging his clothes, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry...young man, be patient."

Seeing Li Jie pinching his knuckles again, Liu Lin hurriedly said: "A few days ago, I got the news in the newspaper that the Football Association plans to have a women's football team become a first-tier club in three years. A proof of whether it can pass the registration qualification. Now all clubs are starting to prepare for this. It is said that it is a measure to ensure that the Olympic Games and the World Cup women's football team can continue to be competitive in the world."

"Isn't there a Super League for women's football? Why do you want to form it?" Hu Gandang asked strangely.

"No money. After all, without the appeal of the national team, women's football is definitely not as exciting as the men's football. That's why the Football Association has adopted this compulsory measure to allow all first-level clubs to invest in this area. After all, women's football still needs to use a professional system at this stage to produce results." Liu Lin said.

What Liu Lin said is the truth. Although the Chinese women's football team won the World Cup in 99 and greatly stimulated the fans' enthusiasm for women's football, the reality faced by women's football is actually very cruel.

"But what does this have to do with our football school?" Dai Guangming asked strangely.

"It's no problem for a local club that has a women's football team. After all, it just needs to spend some more investment. But Yunjia doesn't have a women's football team locally... So, according to reliable news, our football school will start recruiting women's football players this semester, and our Shaolin Temple will have girls coming in!" Liu Lin said proudly.

"Huh?" Everyone's eyes widened.
