Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 56 Go to BJ
Pei Wei originally planned to get only one century-old use right of the stadium, but he got two. On the surface, he lost money, because his annual expenditure on the stadium will need to double in the future-but in the long run , he still made a profit. Although 2000 million is a lot from now on, but in the 21st century when land prices are skyrocketing, it is too cheap to be able to obtain such a vast stadium with this little money.

And getting the right to use the Yunjia Stadium is not a bad thing. Now Yunjiatianyu has four echelons of different ages in addition to the first team. The two lawns in the original training base are no longer enough. The lawn must be guaranteed. After obtaining the Yunjia Stadium, two of the echelons can be placed in the Yunjia Stadium for training, ensuring that the first team can have an independent training lawn.

At the same time, Yunjia Stadium can also develop auxiliary facilities, so that the expenditure invested in this stadium will not be so unbearable.

After returning to the club, he immediately arranged for the construction personnel to start construction on the former North Bay Stadium. At this time, only two months before the start of the league, he could not do too much reconstruction, he could only strengthen the stands and set up some seats. That's all, of course, the first thing to do is to lay a lawn of sufficient standard.

These things are naturally done by the people under him. After the stadium is settled, the preparatory activities before the start of the season have also come to an end, and the specific division of labor has been implemented. Next, it is the turn of the club staff to be busy.

As a boss, you don't need to do everything yourself, you just need to hand things over to the right subordinates. This is the highest level of leadership.

On January 1995, 1, after Pei Wei spent a leisurely three-day vacation, his assistant Xiao Zhao called him.

"Boss, people from the Football Association are looking for you."

*********************************
People from the Football Association came to Pei Wei not for anything else, but to inform him to attend the Chinese Football League club meeting held on January 1. In addition to the officials of the Football Association, there were also 22 teams from A, A and B in the meeting. The owner or manager of the team, although it is a bit strange that such a meeting should be organized by the club itself, but it is organized by the official representative of the Football Association, but there is no way, there is no such thing as a "professional meeting" among the clubs. Organizations such as the Union.

Without further ado, Pei Wei immediately flew to BJ with his assistants. This kind of meeting must be held. Although there will only be some stereotyped nonsense at the meeting, if you don't come, you will definitely stay in the heart of the Football Association. A bad impression, who knows when those bureaucratic officials will trip you up.

In addition, this kind of meeting is also a good opportunity to strengthen contact and exchanges with other clubs. People cannot live in a vacuum. One more friend is better than one more enemy. This is an unbreakable truth.

After arriving in BJ, I lived in a guest house arranged by the Football Association. According to the reception staff of the Football Association: "Our football association is very hard, life is very poor, and the office building is a small two-story building. Our leaders commute to and from work by bicycle, and eat boxed lunches at noon, so we can only use the guest house to entertain everyone... I can only say sorry if there is any negligence..."

It doesn't matter to Pei Wei, he has never lived anywhere. When he was struggling to start a business, he lived in a small hotel and drank haggis soup. He didn't even look at the guest house, and drove directly to the five-star hotel in the car.

"Young people, I just don't know how to work hard." Hubei Egang's new boss Mr. Zhou smiled and handed Pei Wei a cigarette: "This hostel is a good place, much better than my clothing store."

Mr. Zhou is the boss of a local private company in Hubei. Last year, Egang fell short in the A-B league, ranking third by one point and failed to advance to A-A. The sponsor, Egang, did not want to continue to take over. Pei Wei just got the news that Hubei Egang officially changed its name to Wuhan Yazhi after being acquired by the owned Yazhi Group.

In Pei Wei's past life memory, this owner who started his business by selling clothes at a street stall was one of the few Chinese league team sponsors who used a private enterprise to support a team. In his previous life, he took over the Wuhan team in 96. , I didn't expect that now he actually took over a year ahead of schedule.

It seems that this world is different from the one in my memory, but also, in my previous life, there was no team like Yunjia Tianyu.

But if my memory is not wrong, this Zhou can be regarded as a character. He just used his company with an annual output value of less than 21 million to support the Wuhan team for several years, and finally quit without paying. However, he did not lose money. The Wuhan club was sold for tens of millions, and all the original investment was recovered. The Wuhan team has also done a good job in terms of management. At least in the [-]st century, they are one of the few Chinese clubs that can break even.

Pei Wei dislikes those teams of later generations who rely on state-owned enterprises as the background and burn money desperately to achieve good results. He believes that this is not about football at all, but about political performance. The local team's good performance is a part of the incumbent officials. A political achievement... What is this?Football is a special industry, a "smoke-free project" with huge profits, and an important pillar that can drive the local economy... But in China, football clubs are nothing but a money-burning thing.

Why did football in Guangdong or in the south quickly decline after being brilliant for a while in the late 90s?It's not because their players are out of reach, it's just one aspect of the reason.

In the first few years of professionalization, the club owners basically made money, because after owning a club, the advertising effect and the preferential policies of the local government made the backstage groups of these clubs taste a huge sweetness, so The club became a hot commodity, but when the preferential policies ceased, and after the advertising effect was not so great, the owners who took over later found that the club was just a money-losing product that kept swallowing money, so naturally no one was willing to take over. After the source, the decline of Guangdong football has become a matter of course.

Pei Wei thinks that in the Chinese league, there should be more private owners like himself and Mr. Zhou. It is precisely because they work for themselves that they can dig out the potential of the club to generate income.

So he decided to have a good chat with Mr. Zhou.
