World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 372 Equity Reform (a chapter with private goods)
A week after the end of the Sao Paulo State Championships, Yan Ruyu, the deputy director of the Taishan Sports Center Base in Brazil, received a notice to return to China immediately for an emergency meeting.

It is said that the theme of the meeting was about the equity reform of the Taishan Club.

In recent years, there have been constant rumors about State Grid's withdrawal from the football industry.In particular, the relevant central departments have recently clearly pointed out that "the State Grid should stick to the main business of electric power and withdraw from traditional manufacturing and real estate-related industries."

Although the football industry has not been clearly pointed out, it does not seem to be within the scope of the main power industry.

"Wolf is coming" rumors are rampant, and now, the boots are finally about to hit the ground.

A few days later, when Yan Ruyu walked out of the departure gate of Sao Paulo International Airport with a tired expression, it was not the driver of the base who greeted him, but a smiling Gao Yuan.

Yan Ruyu's mouth drew a graceful arc.

"It's really flattering that the coach of the Sao Paulo state champion picked him up personally!"

Gao Yuan gritted his teeth, and took the luggage from Yan Ruyu's hand in a gentlemanly manner.

"Reciprocity, I still remember half a year ago, when I walked out of this exit, the first thing I saw was the big beauty who picked me up."

Gao Yuan drove back to the base, and Yan Ruyu sat in the passenger seat.

"It seems that this reform is going to be serious." Yan Ruyu sighed quietly.

"The State Grid is really going to withdraw? The century-old club will not be built?" Gao Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Backed by a large state-owned enterprise of the world's top 500, I thought that the Taishan team was the most stable club in domestic football and even in Asia. I didn't expect that changes in plans and policies might turn the "century-old dream of a wealthy family" into a mirror in an instant.

"It is not to withdraw completely, but to carry out shareholding reform! It is declared that the goal of building a century-old club will not change."

"Actually?" Gao Yuan asked directly.

Yan Ruyu smiled awkwardly, "Who knows, let's take a step and see, at least the club is still alive!"

"Tell me about the shareholding system reform."

"This is just a briefing, and the specific reform plan has not yet been finalized. But in principle, the State Grid will not completely withdraw from Taishan Sports for the time being, but will take out a part of the equity and buy it by the Shandong Provincial Government through redemption. The future Taishan Sports will be jointly built by the State Grid and the Shandong Provincial Government. The name of the Taishan team will not change, the Taishan Football School will continue to operate, and the Brazil Taishan Sports Center will temporarily maintain the status quo."

"Does the local sports bureau participate in the joint construction? Why does it sound so familiar? It seems that Liaobei Hongyun did the same thing back then?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. The disbandment of Liaobei Hongyun was caused by many problems left over from history. We are different. The Taishan team has a deep foundation and brand value, and it is a high-quality asset, which is not comparable to Hongyun team!" Yan Ruyu turned pale and said hurriedly, as if explaining to Gao Yuan, but also as if comforting herself.

"Hehe, background? Does Chinese football have any background? In terms of background, the Liaobei team won the top ten in China back then! Liao Xiaohu is also a memory of a generation. Doesn't it mean bankruptcy if you say bankruptcy and dissolution?"

Gao Yuan said coldly.

Yan Ruyu bowed her head and said nothing, it's not that she doesn't know these things, it's just that she doesn't want to think deeply.

Gao Yuan saw that Yan Ruyu was in a low mood, and her beautiful eyes seemed to flash, so he said in relief:
"Don't listen to my nonsense, I'm just guessing, maybe this is a good thing! Our Taishan team's sluggish state-owned enterprise disease may be cured this time! Besides, in the first few years after the restructuring, the leaders will definitely attach great importance to it, and will definitely give them a certain amount of resources. Maybe our Taishan team will be able to win a championship under the leadership of Director Li! The team has taken it back!"

Yan Ruyu knew that this was Gao Yuan trying to comfort herself, but what he said was also very reasonable. At least in the first few years after the restructuring, the Taishan team should not be bad.

This topic was too heavy, Yan Ruyu changed the topic and said, "By the way, it's not all bad news when I go back this time!"

"What's the good news?"

"When the club was studying and implementing the spirit of restructuring, it clearly stated that we should free our minds, actively send talents outward, and expand the influence of the Taishan team brand! The leaders also talked to me privately, and praised DB for doing a good job. It has won glory for Chinese football and made positive contributions to the Taishan team brand. I hope that our recent work will focus on sending out outstanding players to imprint the brand of Taishan on the Chinese youth training!"

Gao Yuan was taken aback, he didn't expect the club's thinking to change so quickly.After a little thought, he figured it out.

In the final analysis, this is still related to the equity restructuring of Taishan Club.

On the one hand, State Grid hopes to add value to the brand of the Taishan team.In the tense domestic football world, Taishan youth training can achieve reverse output and send outstanding players abroad. This is a considerable achievement, and it is also the achievement of the State Open's investment in football for decades.

This is to announce to the world that the money spent by the State Open on football is not in vain. We have truly cultivated talents and made contributions to Chinese football.

On the other hand, the Taishan team will not be the exclusive asset of the State Grid in the next step.The team's record has something to do with the State Open, but the impact is not so great.Whether the team's lineup is competitive enough is not something that the State Open is too worried about.

As the saying goes, it doesn't feel bad for a cub to sell his father Tian. Instead of being sold by his successors, it is better for the master to sell Tian when he is running his own business!At any rate, you can gain both fame and fortune.

Of course, there must be other reasons, but these are not what Gao Yuan needs to delve into. What he cares about now is how to send players to the club that is most suitable for their development within a limited time.

"The club has already started to take action. The relevant teams are negotiating with European clubs. It is said that He Xiaoke, Batur and Tian Yuda have all been spotted by European clubs. The negotiations are going well and are coming to an end." Yan Ruyu said.

"Is it so fast? We didn't ask for our opinions at all! What kind of club is it suitable for their development?" Gao Yuan asked anxiously.

"The football school is responsible for the operation. They have been engaged in youth training for so many years, and they have a complete set of operating procedures and a mature evaluation system. They are all their own children trained by the football school. The club will definitely choose the most suitable career plan for them!"

"Can our company participate?" Gao Yuan asked suddenly.

This company, of course, refers to Yuanshuai Sports Consulting Service Co., Ltd.

"What the leader told me was that as long as it is suitable for the growth and development of young players and does not damage the club's image and economic interests, professional institutions and social capital can be encouraged to participate. However, we do not have player ownership, so we can only match them and provide consulting services, and cannot play a deep role in player transactions."

"It is enough to be able to participate! I am worried that my players will go to a club that is not suitable for their development, or they will be deceived by foreigners, and they will suffer in the contract! We can match them up and escort them! Ruyu, you have worked hard during this time, contact Gao Fushuai, suspend other business of the company first, and put all your energy into the transfer operation of DB players. No matter what, we must not let my players be wronged!"

Yan Ruyu smiled, "You don't need to tell me, I know you love your players. When I was in China, I met Gao Fushuai, and the work has been arranged, so don't worry!"

Gao Yuan glanced at Yan Ruyu in surprise, and held back the words that came to his lips.As soon as it was exported, it was replaced with three words that were neither salty nor bland: "Thank you!"

Yan Ruyu didn't talk to Gao Yuan any more, but turned her eyes to the scenery outside the window, muttering in her heart, "Oh, just thank you!"

ps: Well, I admit that I have included private goods in this chapter.

Obviously, I am a fan of the Taishan team. I never expected that Taishan is also facing restructuring.

When I heard the news, the first thing that came to my mind was "Liaoning Hongyun" and many Chinese football clubs that were managed by the local sports bureau and then disappeared.

Although Chen Yong of "Football News" is advocating that this is a good thing, but as a fan who has watched the rise and fall of Chinese professional football for decades, I am not optimistic.

As written in the article, the first few years may be good, but after a long time, who knows.

I hope that "building a century-old club" will not become empty talk. I hope that we can all witness the day when the century-old club (2093) will be built!
