World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 32 Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills
"Coach Zeng, may I ask, what is the Huayuankou Football Youth Training Base?"

"Oh, this, this is a football school under my name." Zeng Zheng said casually.

"A football school under your name?"

"That's right, I plan to form a team by myself and hit the A-A." Zeng Zheng was also unambiguous, and directly stated his purpose.

Football has developed vigorously in recent years, and a large number of football clubs have emerged every year, applying to sign up for the Second Division.

Those who got kicked out were sponsored, and those who couldn't get kicked out were disbanded on the spot.

So don't look at the influx of so many football teams into the market, and countless are eliminated every year.

Among them, the bitterness, the locomotive that even A and B can't escape the bad luck of relegation can't be more clear.

"Coach Zeng, excuse me, as a coach, everyone will give you a thumbs up; but if you lead the team"

"There is no need for Manager Chen to worry about this."

Zeng Zheng raised his legs.

"As long as you can get results, money is not a problem. The money problem is solved, and most of the problems are also solved."

With that said, Zeng Zheng took out two more documents.

"This is Bao Wenjie and Li Weifeng's own transfer application. It has their fingerprints and signatures on it. I also brought a copy of their ID cards."

"Coach Zeng, you are really well prepared. Did you expect us to sell someone?"

"Manager Chen, to tell you the truth, my team is based on the Jianlibao youth team, and the core players are all active Jianlibao students."

"Jianlibao has been abroad for four years, and will return next year after completing his studies."

"It would be a pity if such a team breaks up, Manager Chen, what do you think?"

Hearing Zeng Zheng's explanation, Manager Chen nodded.

Jianlibao's players coveted too many influences.

With Jianlibao's level, it is not difficult to occupy a A-A seat all the year round if they return to China as a team.

But the question is, will those local forces who send students to Jianlibao give up easily?

Looking at Manager Chen's puzzled eyes, Zeng Zheng glanced at the contract in Manager Chen's hand.

In the next second, Manager Chen reacted instantly.

"Coach Zeng, you mean that you have already bought all Jianlibao."

In the end, even Manager Chen found it incredible.

Jianlibao students come from all over the world, even the bamboo shoes don't have such a great energy to integrate them all.

"I don't need to buy everyone out."

Zeng Zheng snapped his fingers, "As long as I have 11-15 people as the core, this team is considered complete."

"Of course, the more former members of Jianlibao, the better!"

"And these students have been with me for four years, and they also want to stay with me and continue playing football after they return to China."

As a die-hard fan, Manager Chen was also very excited when he heard this.

Of course he knew that because of the special nature of the team, Jianlibao was fully qualified to represent the national team.

Just like this year's World Youth Championship, Jianlibao formed a team to replace the National Youth Championship.

Although excited, Manager Chen has not lost his mind.

"Coach Zeng, may I ask, you have already..."

Seeing Manager Chen pointing at the contract in his hand, Zeng Zheng snorted lightly.

"Over Liaozu, Zhang Yin's compound is one of my partners."

"Dalian Sports School is also very supportive of my work."

"The local sports teams in Tianjin, Wuhan, and Qingdao have all finished greetings."

"After all, I came from bamboo shoes, so they still have to sell their face."

While listening to Zeng Zheng, Manager Chen snapped his fingers.

If what Zeng Zheng said is true, then more than half of Jianlibao's students have already been "fixed".

"Coach Zeng, from what you said, isn't Jianlibao going to be named Zeng when he returns?"

"That's not it!"

Zeng Zheng couldn't fall out of the opponent's verbal trap.

"I really can't help those troops and the boys from Bayi."

"But their parents are quite talkative."

"After I explained in detail what professional football is, they all supported my work."

Manager Chen felt relieved when he heard this.

At least Zeng Zheng wasn't talking nonsense.

The reason why Jianlibao was disbanded in the previous life was that the property rights were not clear.

Although the name is Jianlibao, it is just that Jianlibao is the title sponsor, and the property rights are not under the name of Jianlibao.

The bamboo shoes are just a threader in the middle, and its students are all recruited from the army, local sports teams, private enterprise clubs, and local schools.

So after Jianlibao graduated and returned to China in 98, these players became the "sweet pastry" that various places competed for.

In the end, because no one side could integrate it, Zhuxie had no choice but to announce that Jianlibao was disbanded, and its players were divided up by various clubs.

If Zeng Zheng wants to integrate Jianlibao, he will inevitably have to deal with various forces.

When Jianlibao returned to China for the first time in 95, Zeng Zheng registered the Huayuankou Youth Training Base in his own name.

Although it is only a shell company, it is catching up with Liaozu's downgrade.

Under Zeng Zheng's strong mouth, the frustrated Zhang Yin directly invested in Zeng Zheng's Huayuankou youth training base.

As Zeng Zheng's partners, Li Tie, Li Jinyu, Yao Li and other Liaozu teenagers have long been Zeng Zheng's own people.

With these people as his team, Zeng Zheng's confidence naturally increased.

Plus his current name.

After Zhu Xie greeted the local provincial teams, these places would still show Zeng Zheng a face.

After all, there are no professional teams now, and these students go to various local clubs after they come back.

Selling which is not selling?
In addition, the students themselves are willing, and the provincial team doesn't want to make unpleasant things with the students.

As for the Bayi team, because of its special composition.

Not only does it require more cumbersome procedures to release people from the army, but the parents of the students also considered letting their children work as officials here in the future.

So after thinking about it, Shanshan, the locomotive that is about to sell the whole team, became the first stop of Zeng Zheng's "acquisition journey".

After listening to Zeng Zheng's nonsense, Manager Chen finally believed it.

He opened the contract brought by Zeng Zheng and read it carefully.

After a long while, Manager Chen put the contract on the table, tapping the table rhythmically with five fingers.

In just a quarter of an hour, Manager Chen transformed from a passionate fan into a businessman.

"Coach Zeng, I don't understand a few things. What do you mean by transfer funds, bonus commissions, portrait rights, and signing fees? The team trains players from a young age, and the cost is not small!"

In the contract submitted by Zeng Zheng, the transfer fee for the two was only 2 yuan.

Except for the 2 yuan, Locomotive’s other income comes from the capital commission of the two re-transfers, as well as the share of the bonus, portrait rights and signing fees under Zeng Zheng’s command.

To put it bluntly, Zeng Zheng is playing empty-handed white wolf!
Who would like to put this on?

Not to mention anything else, the 2 yuan alone is not a one-time payment.

"Manager Chen, you and I are both businessmen. After the locomotive is sold, it doesn't mean that we will completely withdraw from the football market."

"Business, of course we have to take a long-term view."

"The two of them are under my command, and they will definitely develop better in the future."

Having said that, Manager Chen shook his head.

When it comes to money interests, not to mention Zeng Zheng, the substitute coach of the national team, even Chairman Zhuxie is not good at it.

"Coach Zeng, it's not that I don't trust you."

"I'm also involved in football. I can't understand what's going on between A and B."

"Just in case, I mean just in case."

"If your new Jianlibao doesn't kick out anything, aren't we investors all in vain?"

"Investment! I understand too!"

"But if you want to raise money, at least you have to have something as collateral!"

After speaking, Manager Chen looked Zeng Zheng from top to bottom.

Cracked sunglasses, wrinkled trench coats, faded belts, and paint-peeled shoes.

It doesn't look like a rich man anyway.

"I can mortgage my youth training base to you."

"What's the use of that youth training base? I don't even know where it is."

"Coach Zeng, why don't you mortgage it to the bank to cash it?"

Zeng Zheng fell silent, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Seeing that Zeng Zheng kept silent, Manager Chen asked himself and answered:

"Coach Zeng, let me guess, you have spent almost all of your property just to set up this youth training base?"

"Youth training is like running a school. You have to recruit students, hire coaches, etc. These are all money."

"If I'm right, your youth training base has already been mortgaged, right?"

Hearing this, Zeng Zheng's face immediately turned a liver color.

When Manager Chen saw this, he felt that his guess was indistinguishable.

think about it.

Zeng Zheng is a college student who graduated four or five years ago.

Even if you have great ability, how much salary can you earn by following Jianlibao for four or five years?

Not to mention making money, maybe the salary is still under pressure!
Seeing that Zeng Zheng was in trouble, Manager Chen continued.

"Coach Zeng, it's not that I don't support you."

"You have also seen the situation of the locomotive. These two players are completely redundant. I am also very happy to earn more."

"But the conditions you offered do not match the risks I have to take. This business really cannot be done."

Seeing the other party's refusal, Zeng Zheng reluctantly asked the last sentence: "Manager Chen, can't we be accommodating?"

Seeing Zeng Zheng's fiery gaze, Manager Chen rolled his eyes.

"Coach Zeng, don't blame me for being mercenary."

"We're talking about business, I believe that if it were you, you wouldn't agree easily, would you?"

Before Zeng Zheng could speak, Manager Chen continued.

"However, it is difficult to come to Ningbo once for the sake of Coach Zeng, and we cannot let Coach Zeng come for nothing."

"How about this."

"If you can raise 5 yuan within a week, there is still room for negotiation, what do you think?"

5 yuan?
In this era when the monthly salary is only a few hundred yuan, how can ordinary people get [-] yuan in a short period of time?

This was clearly Manager Chen's problem for Zeng Zheng. He predicted that Zeng Zheng would not be able to get the money. .

Seeing the playful gaze of the other party, Zeng Zheng stood up, gritted his molars and responded.

"Okay, fifty thousand is fifty thousand!"

"Okay, then for the next week, I will wait here for Coach Zeng's visit."

Manager Chen stood up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

Zeng Zheng didn't talk nonsense, picked up his bag, and strode out of the office.

After walking out of the residential building and turning a corner, Zeng Zheng's frown suddenly relaxed.

He took out his mobile phone from his arms and dialed a number.

"Hello, Brother Sun? Ask the accountant to transfer [-] yuan to my account before he gets off work at night."
