Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 492 The Curve to Save the Nation
"I'll be the executive committee?" Pei Wei was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "I don't seem to be qualified to be... FIFA's executive committee has only twelve members in total, and this time we plan to add four more. You must know that anyone who can be an executive committee member must hold a relatively high-level position in the football federation of the continent, or at least hold an important position in the football association of his country. I can't even get into the football association. Why should I be the executive committee member? "

"I don't understand this, I can only make this judgment based on your actual situation." Su Yue spit out a smoke ring: "FIFA seems to be two levels higher than the Chinese Football Association - after all, the difference between the two There is also an AFC in between—but in terms of nature, your job in FIFA and the Chinese Football Association are two completely different concepts.”

Seeing Pei Wei's confused expression, Su Yue sighed in his heart. His son-in-law is really mentally handicapped: "It's very simple, the Chinese Football Association directly governs the entire Chinese league, and you own a club. If you work in the Chinese Football Association, you will not be able to get rid of the suspicion of using power for personal gain anyway-don't say that you will not do such a thing. With the development of society today, it is absolutely impossible to have a position where you can only rely on self-consciousness to restrain yourself. A strong restraint method will do. Although FIFA seems to be two levels higher, but no matter how powerful they are, they can't control the domestic league in China. Naturally, other clubs can't say anything. The so-called county officials It's better to manage now, that's the reason. Doing so can not only avoid the contradiction of your identity, but also solve the problem of Xu Bing's lack of skills. As for how to get you to be the executive committee, it depends on what Chairman Xu does Done."

"I understand." Pei Wei let out a long breath. The conversation with the old man opened his eyes. The smooth sailing experience after rebirth once made his self-confidence infinitely inflated, but after this conversation, Pei Wei knew , although he has a forward-looking vision, this can only give him a certain advantage at a certain level, rather than being invincible—as emphasized in the historical fictions that have begun to be rationalized in later generations Well, modern people are not necessarily smarter than ancient people, especially on the political level, after all, the vast majority of ordinary people in modern times don't have any political acumen.

"Thank you very much for your guidance, which made me understand a lot of things." Pei Wei said solemnly: "If you hadn't reminded me, I might have stumbled on this matter... Although even if I stumbled It’s nothing to me, but it might be a big toss for Chinese football—with the current foundation of Chinese football, it can’t afford to be tossed.”

"Do you still need to say such things in front of me?" Su Yue laughed: "You must know that you are my son-in-law... I should help a little, or Su Mei would have troubled me, haha !"

"I'm sorry, Old Xu, I'm afraid I won't be able to work in the Football Association."

After leaving Su Yue's home, Pei Wei didn't go back to Yunjia, but went directly to Xu Bing's house. After sitting down in Xu Bing's study, Pei Wei said this straight to the point.

It was obvious that Xu Bing had no psychological preparations for Pei Wei's words. After a moment of stunned, he figured out what Pei Wei was talking about, and immediately his face changed: "You... what are you talking about? We You are well prepared, as soon as you cut off the connection with Yunjia Tianyu Club, you can take office immediately! At this time, you actually told me that you can't do it anymore! What a joke!"

"Old Xu, don't be angry, listen to me." Pei Wei knew that he was wrong. You must know that although he didn't agree directly at the time, it was equivalent to agreeing, and Xu Bing believed in him so much. During this time, he probably did something. I have a lot of work, but if I let go like this, it is tantamount to leaving him there. No matter how good-tempered Xu Bing is, he will not be able to bear it.

"Tell me!" Xu Wei calmed down. He also guessed why Pei Wei must be because Pei Wei himself was not willing to be the chairman of the football association. Yes, and now Pei Wei is still explaining to himself in a low voice, which in itself has already demonstrated Pei Wei's sincerity.

Pei Wei then told Xu Bing about Su Yue's analysis in detail. He had nothing to hide in front of Xu Bing, and he also believed that Xu Bing knew more about these principles than himself. Considering that it is probably because the authorities are obsessed, I just need to mention a few points now, I believe he can quickly distinguish the pros and cons.

During the process of Pei Wei's narration, Xu Bing's brows were kept tightly locked. After Pei Wei finished speaking, Xu Bing let out a sigh of relief, and said with a little bit of gratitude: "It's fortunate that Mr. Su reminded you, It also reminded me... At first I only thought that both Zhang Long and Wan Junsheng admired you, and they also agreed with me when I made this suggestion, but I forgot that the Football Association is not just the three of us, even the internal No objection, we also have to face the pressure from the General Administration of Sports... What I didn't expect is that you don't know anything about politics!"

Xu Bing looked at Pei Wei with a wry smile, and Pei Wei spread his hands: "There is no way, I am not born with that material."

"However... it is very difficult for you to get the position of the executive committee." Xu Bing pondered: "The selection of the FIFA executive committee is very strict, except for the secretary-general of each continental football federation who automatically becomes the executive committee. , Others who can take up this position must have outstanding contributions, even if you are the chairman of your country's football association, you may not be qualified, let alone you are not a member of the football association, but just the owner of a club."

"I don't know much about this, so I can only rely on you." Pei Wei shrugged his shoulders: "If it doesn't work, you can take on two jobs alone, and if Wan Junsheng is not allowed to be the chairman, you can check behind the scenes. Pretty much."

"This can only be the last way out of desperation." Xu Bing frowned and thought for a while: "But if you want to say that you have made outstanding contributions to football, you can count it. You must know that you have mentioned it for the Chinese Football Association. Countless constructive opinions, among other things, the "not allowing the transfer of club league qualifications" is a very forward-looking suggestion! I checked the statutes of FIFA and UEFA. But there is no such thing! That is to say, in Europe, if a first-tier team goes bankrupt, then you can buy the first-tier club and change its name to another city! Although this This kind of thing has never happened in the history of European football, but if someone does this, FIFA and UEFA can't do anything about him, because there are no relevant regulations! Do you know? Just this one I will I can recommend you to FIFA!"

"Isn't it? That's okay too?" Pei Wei was a little confused.

"Of course, this alone is not enough, but everyone can see your contribution to Chinese football. Maybe many people don't know it, but in the eyes of those who are familiar with the league, if there is no Yunjia Tianyu Club of you, China The development of football is definitely not as good as it is today!" Xu Bing said quickly: "In the past eight years, we will remember all the achievements you have made! Whether it is your proposal to the Football Association or to the club Construction, the efforts made to connect Chinese football and world football... let a country with the largest population on the earth gradually make their football known to the world. What Lian would like to see the most! Of course, in addition to these things, you also need an identity! I think I know what to do now!" Xu Wei smiled mysteriously at Pei Wei.

"You...what are you going to do?" Pei Wei asked stammeringly.

"You'll know then."

******************************************
On March [-]th, at the beginning of the new year's Haigeng spring training, the Chinese Football Association suddenly held a press conference at the Haigeng base in Kunming.

At the press conference, the Chinese Football Association announced such an amazing news: "In view of the great contribution Pei Wei, chairman of Yunjia Tianyu Club, has made to Chinese football, the Chinese Football Association specially hired Pei Wei as the honorary vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association!" Of course, this vice-chairman is only in name, and Pei Wei is still his club owner. He does not have any power within the Football Association, but he can make some suggestions to the Football Association at any time.

Pei Wei, who was in Haigeng, jumped up immediately when he saw the press conference on TV. He never thought that Xu Bing would make such an announcement without notifying him!
Just as he was about to call Master Xu Bingxing to inquire about the crime, Xu Bing's phone call came before him.

"How are you, are you satisfied with this position?" Xu Bing's voice came from the phone, revealing such a cunning.

"Damn, what are you doing? If I can be the vice chairman, do I still need to talk to you? Did you listen to me that day?" Pei Wei was furious.

"Why worry, this vice chairman is only in name! You have no power in the Football Association, you are only a consultant! Consultants, don't care, what opinions will other clubs have? When the time comes, you will be credited I will put them all out one by one, and anyone who has an opinion can talk to me directly!" Xu Bing said decisively: "Besides, this is mainly to provide you with an identity, so that you can compete for the position of the FIFA Executive Committee Only then can you become famous.”

"What is this? Curves to save the country?" Pei Wei asked dumbfounded. With such an official uniform, there will definitely be troubles in the future.

"You are right, this is called saving the country by curves! There is no way, only in this way can you be qualified to compete for the FIFA executive committee."
