Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 487 We are the same people

Before ending the call, Xu Bing gave Pei Wei two days to think about it—he said he would call again in two days, and hoped that Pei Wei could give him a good answer.

After hanging up the phone, Pei Wei fell into deep thought. Xu Bing had invited him to join the management of the Football Association more than once before, but Pei Wei never agreed, but this time Xu Bing's tone was very affirmative, and Pei Wei thought about it He couldn't think of anyone other than himself who would be suitable to sit in this position after Xu Bing left.

Leaving the position of the chairman of the Chinese Football Association and becoming the executive committee of FIFA is actually of no benefit to Xu Bing. Although FIFA has the word "international" on it, it looks very powerful. At the same level in China, BJ and local are completely different concepts. The FIFA executive committee looks beautiful, but in fact the power it holds is far from being comparable to the chairman of the Football Association.In fact, as long as Xu Bing is willing, it is normal to hold two positions, just like South Korea's Chung Mong-joon, who is not only the vice president of FIFA, but also the undisputed top figure in the Korean Football Association. It is not easy to resign from the top position of the Football Association because of poor health and inability to be distracted.

On the surface, even if Xu Bing didn't sit in this position, his administrative level is still the same as before, but everyone knows that having a level and having real power are completely different things, just like a catchphrase that "bureau level Without a long belt, you won’t fart too loudly”—the words are not rough.

In the same way, if Pei Wei really sits in this position as Xu Bing said, this seemingly glamorous position will not benefit Pei Wei at all-although the club owner sounds a bit worse than the chairman of the Football Association, But it is estimated that no matter who it is, if he is asked to choose between these two positions, he will probably choose the club owner, especially the owner of Yunjiatianyu-in Yunjiatianyu Club, Pei Wei is the absolute boss, the one-size-fits-all boss, everyone They all work for him and get his salary. How much more nourishing is life—and what about the Chairman of the Football Association?There are so many clubs and national teams to manage, and every day is like walking on eggshells. With Xu Bing's physique and fragile heart, there must be reasons for this.

Although the chairman of the Football Association is the highest leader of a country's football in name, in fact they are the football public figures that are least known to fans in their country-fans who like Serie A will know how many giants there are in Serie A and how brilliant the Italian national team is. How many great stars have emerged in Italy, how many respected or maverick club presidents in Serie A...but how many people know who the president of the Italian Football Association is?Who in the average fan cares about this?

Especially the Chinese Football Association, when the national team and the league perform well, fans focus on the club, coaches, and players, and don't care who the chairman of the Football Association is. Pointing the finger at the Football Association, the first person to bear the brunt is the chairman of the Football Association - the train runs fast, it all depends on the headband, when it runs fast, it doesn't care about the front of the car, and when it runs slow, it will scold the front of the car...

As for the position of the chairman of the Chinese Football Association, the less well known the better the chairman is, just like the Chinese football fans of later generations who probably don’t know the "King of Hell", but those who know Xu Bing and Wan Junsheng do not. not much.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Bing did not use the friendship between the two to impress Pei Wei. After all, this incident can be said to be of no benefit to Pei Wei. He has enough wealth and has a certain status in politics. Fans have a very high popularity in their hearts, and he really has no reason to give up the position of club chairman.

"But, how could I refuse you..." Pei Wei sighed and showed a wry smile: "Who made me the same person as you..."

night.

"It's growing fast. The clothes I bought a month ago can't be worn anymore." Su Mei said softly as she folded some baby clothes: "You said that the child didn't even have a year old, so he just grew up." It's so fast, isn't it because we gave him too much nutrition?"

"I have long said that when buying clothes for children, you should buy bigger clothes, otherwise you will not be able to wear them soon, which is a complete waste." Pei Wei said with a smile, he likes this kind of atmosphere very much, full of warm home atmosphere, especially Listening to Su Mei rambling about some trivial things made him feel warmer: "Do you know what clothes I wore when I was a child? One from the east and one from the west. The children in our compound basically wear clothes from other houses." Clothes, especially sweaters, were dismantled and remade when we were young. We all grew up wearing Baijia clothes at that time, so how could there be so much consumption... But your family is in good condition, I guess you don’t have this feeling Tried it."

"Who said I haven't tasted it?" Su Mei straightened her waist and put the folded clothes into the closet: "There is an older brother above me. I have been wearing my brother's leftover clothes since I was a child. When I went to the street, people thought I was a boy... I didn't pay much attention to these things when I was a child, and I didn't pick up my brother's clothes when I grew up."

"We all come from hard backgrounds." Pei Wei smiled and hugged Su Mei in his arms: "But children nowadays are all delicate, and we parents wish our children could wear the best clothes, eat the most nutritious food, and go to the most expensive food." Good school - they are very happy, but compared with us, they have a lot less fun."

"Yes, there are more and more toys now, but is it more interesting than when we were young? Jumping rubber bands, playing marbles, making clay figurines, swinging... Even if there is nothing, just draw a few lines on the ground. Playing hopscotch... There are many people of the same age in a compound, and you can find friends to play with just by calling out. Now, people live in high-rise buildings, and the communication between people is getting less and less. No wonder the enrollment of kindergartens is now The age is getting younger and younger, and children can only find friends in kindergarten." Su Mei nodded and said.

"That's nothing to do. After all, this is also a symbol of the progress of the times." Pei Wei changed the topic: "By the way, Lao Xu called me today."

"Oh, your relationship is really good... What did he say?" Su Mei didn't care, she already knew that Xu Bing and Pei Wei had a very close relationship, so naturally she wouldn't be surprised by it, she just asked casually said a word.

"He said good news." Pei Wei said after thinking for a while: "The Chinese Football Association is likely to be able to win a position on the FIFA executive committee in the near future. He plans to serve as the executive committee himself, and then choose another person. Come to be the chairman of the Chinese Football Association."

"It's a good thing." Su Mei straightened her body: "There are people in the court who are easy to talk to, and there are people from the Chinese Football Association who work in FIFA, which is of positive significance to the status of Chinese football... Why do you seem unhappy? look?"

Su Mei found out that something was wrong, and Pei Wei showed a smile: "This matter is indeed a good thing, but do you think it is a good thing for Xu Bing personally?"

Su Mei quickly came to her senses, and she thought about it carefully: "It's really not a good thing...Being an executive committee member is of course not as good as the chairman of the Football Association, and he doesn't have any real power... Xu Bing really said that after becoming an executive committee member Is it not the chairman of the Football Association? It seems that these two positions can be held concurrently, right?"

"Because of heart disease, he can't be too tired, and he can't concentrate on both ends... This is what he said." Pei Wei said in a deep voice.

Su Mei showed a look of admiration on her face: "I'm beginning to admire Xu Bing... He went to FIFA as the executive committee and another person became the chairman of the Football Association. This is good for Chinese football and good for the Chinese Football Association. , It is good for Chinese fans, but it is not good for him, but it will be bad... It is not easy, it is really not easy."

"He is really a good chairman, an excellent chairman..." Pei Wei sighed and said, "It is a blessing for Chinese football to have such a chairman... If it weren't for him to grasp the critical moment, have a strong vision and vision, and serve wholeheartedly Chinese football is good, no matter how much money I invest in the league, it is useless... If the Football Association does not do anything, no matter how hard I try, I will be abandoned by other clubs. After all, the power of a club is not enough to control the entire league. Without the strength of the Football Association, I would not be able to do anything."

"You can't say that." Su Mei naturally stood on Pei Wei's side: "Of course your hard work is also very important. I don't know how many things in the league can go smoothly because of you. You have changed other people. The philosophy of the club has pointed out a correct path for Chinese football... No one can deny this credit!"

"Wow, why do you say I am the same as Taizu?" Pei Wei said with a smile: "I will make a mistake if I continue."

"That's what it is." Su Mei raised her nose: "Everyone is aware of what you have done for Chinese football and the Chinese League. Do you know what status you have in the hearts of fans across the country? Let's put it this way, as long as they If the supported team didn’t play against Yunjia Tianyu, then they will definitely support you! Not to mention Yunjia, there are at least [-] irons from you and Yunjia Tianyu!”

"Yes, the people's eyes are discerning." Pei Wei said thoughtfully, and then looked at Su Mei: "If I, like Xu Bing, also act as a public and selfless person, what do you think? "

"Ah?" Su Mei couldn't react for a while.

"I mean." Pei Wei repeated: "I will take over Xu Bing's class and become the chairman of the Chinese Football Association. I will step down from the position of chairman of Yunjia Tianyu Club—what do you think?"
