Soon Zhang Zhijun returned to Zhang Sheng's familiar resolute expression: "You don't have to worry too much, the group's funds are still enough, although a large part of the money is pressed on the construction of the football stadium, but it can still be squeezed out from other places, but next year's group can't give the club too much support."

After informing Zhang Sheng of these circumstances, Zhang Zhijun said: "In addition, the Ejiang Provincial Government and the Jiangcheng Municipal Government can also support us. As a locality, there are also local interests, and they do not want local high-quality resources to be controlled by foreign capital. As long as your club can guarantee results and let them have political results, they will definitely support us. ”
"I didn't expect the group to rely on the football club on this day. Zhang Zhijun shook his head a little helplessly and said.
Zhang Sheng quickly reassured Zhang Zhijun: "This season, the club will not sell a large number of players, its strength will not weaken, and our players are also valuable, selling one or two is enough for all the expenses of our club this year." ”
"You make more money selling players than I do selling real estate. Hearing Zhang Sheng's assurance, Zhang Zhijun made a rare joke.
Zhang Sheng also smiled: "The building is easy to build, and it is not easy to cultivate a good player." How's the construction of the soccer stadium going now?"
Hearing Zhang Sheng mention this problem, Zhang Zhijun showed a rare smile: "Yes, the progress is very fast, faster than I imagined, maybe it won't take three years to complete, maybe a few months earlier." ”
"I heard that the state is very strict about this area now, can the quality be guaranteed?" Zhang Sheng asked a little worriedly.
Zhang Zhijun scolded with a smile: "You don't have to worry about such a thing. This is my old business, although last month the state did a strict inspection of the national construction market, but in the quality of construction our group can still speak hard. ”
Zhang Sheng, who came back from the afterlife, knew that there were several very serious construction accidents later, and he was still a little worried, so he had to add again: "It's better to be strict with self-inspection, there is no need to rush the construction period, the group is short of money, and I have some investment here to help." ”
"Just leave your little money to my precious grandson, where does the group need your money, and how much can you have?" Zhang Zhijun looked contemptuous.
In fact, Zhang Sheng has a lot of money in his hand now, since he came back from the crossing, Zhang Sheng has used that bit of foresight and foresight to invest in a lot of industries, and the valuation of the industry in his hand is at least several hundred million, which can be regarded as an invisible tycoon, after all, Zhang Sheng is doing IT Internet wears back, and this thing is really boundless.
However, Zhang Zhijun still agreed with Zhang Sheng's words: "Originally, the group did have plans to strictly inspect the quality of construction, but there have been a lot of things recently, and you are right to remind you, you should be careful." ”
Hearing that his father still accepted his suggestion, Zhang Sheng was very happy: "If you are busy, you should also pay attention to your body, Dad, you are not young, you have time to cultivate with your mother, it is difficult for the two grandchildren in the family to play with you." ”
"yes, I haven't taken them out for a long time. Hearing Zhang Sheng talk about his two grandsons, Zhang Zhijun had a grandfather-like kindness on his face, "When this time is over, I will rest for a while and play with them." ”
After chatting with Zhang Zhijun for a while, Zhang Sheng once again devoted himself to the affairs of the club, and it seems that it is not so easy to take a good break this holiday.
Now the biggest issue of the club is the transfer part, because the transfer market is very lively at this time, and the most transfer rumors are nothing more than those clubs.
The first to bear the brunt of the most rumors of selling people is the Longteng team, because selling people seems to have been their tradition, and then there are two clubs that have been relegated, and it is inevitable for the relegated team to sell the good players in their own team.
Different from history, because of the emergence of the Longteng team, Harbin Yiteng did not succeed in surpassing last season, and of course there was no share of relegation, replaced by Shanghai Shenxin, a poor team that used to be miraculously relegated every year, and the other team has not changed, and Dalian Albin, which has been in arrears for a long time.
The two relegated teams are the representative teams of the "lower limit" of the Chinese Super League: the club's personnel and financial resources are unable to support the competition at the Super League level, and the Chinese Super League can increase the dividends of shareholders at the end of the season, which is already commendable, and it is difficult to expect the league organizers to complete the televised negotiations to make the league truly professional and market-oriented - La Liga and the Premier League, the two top leagues, are also "rich and poor" However, the league organizers ordered the broadcast revenue to be distributed proportionally to the weaker teams in order to maintain the overall balance of the league, and the Chinese Super League is far from being as mature as it has developed.
Zhang Sheng, who has been in European football for several years, is still very familiar with the various protection policies of major European leagues.
The organizers of the five major leagues all have provisions for granting funds to public welfare and grassroots football projects. For example, the Premier League and the FA allocate tens of millions of pounds each year to the country's "Football Infrastructure Fund", most of which is used to improve the conditions of amateur football clubs, and the Premier League will also provide a portion of the revenue as an "umbrella fund" to the Premier League relegated clubs to alleviate the financial crisis caused by the relegation. These measures of Europe's top leagues complement the "fiscal fairness policy" that UEFA has been advocating in recent years, but in the Chinese Super League, which has just popularized the concept of "professional", its weak foundation is inversely proportional to the fierce confrontation of the "championship group".
The reason why players are expensive in the Chinese Super League at this stage is also because there are too many teams that want to get good results, the demand is large, the supply is small, and the inflated value of players has become an inevitable thing.
Of course, there is one team in front of everyone again, that is, Guangzhou Evergrande, because Evergrande's attitude towards football has quietly changed, and it is no longer only about results and commercial dividends.
Since the beginning of this year, Evergrande has been moving frequently outside the stadium, and everyone knew that Evergrande football represented Evergrande real estate, and now, this team has also endorsed Evergrande's newly developed mineral water, grain and oil, milk powder and other products. In order to attract attention to Evergrande's new products, Evergrande also negotiated with the title sponsor to let the team wear the uniforms of Evergrande's new products by redeeming the title advertisements in individual games.
After making achievements in performance, they began to obtain the "dividends" of professional football, and "bind" the new products they continue to launch to Evergrande Football, which has enough influence and reputation, in order to quickly open up the market.
According to Zhang Sheng's understanding, what Guangzhou Evergrande wants to do most now is to list Evergrande football packaging in accordance with the modern enterprise system, which will bring a new business model for operating football. Once Evergrande goes public in the future, it will have stronger and broader financing capabilities than other domestic clubs. Undoubtedly, in the capital operation of professional football, Evergrande has once again made a pioneer.
In fact, this is also one of the strategic goals set by Zhang Sheng for the Longteng Club, but when they are still in the strategic planning stage, Evergrande has entered the substantive operation stage, if the historical process has not changed, they will be listed in July 2015, and now Evergrande Club is estimated to have carried out pre-listing preparations, after all, a company wants to go public in the early stage of preparation is very much.
This is really a step ahead, step by step.
At the beginning of this season, another big change in Chinese football is that the Chinese Super League has slowly changed from a "real estate league" to become more diversified.
The participation of non-real estate companies such as Taobao, Suning, and SIPG has given the league more vitality.
Now in the eyes of many investors, they even see the 2014 season as a season of "starting and ending", and everyone is full of confidence. They believe that a lot of negative energy accumulated in the previous ten years has been gradually cleared in the past two years, and they have begun to accumulate some positive energy. From the beginning of the 2015 season, the Chinese Super League will enter a benign positive energy track.
This is also the reason why those who have never been involved in Chinese football before dare to invest.
Of course, Zhang Sheng, who is more concerned about the overall development of Chinese football, should be a little more conservative, because the league's cornerstone, the Chinese League, the Chinese League B, and the amateur league really have not improved.
Because Yao Tian and Zhu Xuhe are playing in the Tianshan Snow Leopard, Zhang Sheng knows more about the situation in the middle league.
In the final game of the Chinese League, Chengdu Tiancheng faced Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard at home, and the fans jokingly called it a "salary arrears derby", Zhang Sheng learned that as many as half of the clubs with salary arrears are serious, and players have gone to the Chinese Football Association to seek arbitration.
In Zhang Sheng's view, the reform of the Chinese Super League should start from the Chinese League - without the support of the Chinese Super League, the Chinese Super League is difficult to develop, and for the league organizers, the commercial value of the Chinese Super League is far from reaching the upper limit, but the premise of obtaining huge benefits can only be to pull the Chinese League into the professional track first.
Compared with these teams that can't afford to pay salaries in the Chinese League, the two worlds of ice and fire are those Chinese Super League tycoons who invest heavily to buy people.
Evergrande this season because of the change of coach, the player lineup must have to be adjusted to a certain extent, but the local lineup is already relatively complete, except for Zhang Linpeng's problem is a little tangled, they do not have much demand for other positions.
Even so, Evergrande has accelerated the hoarding of internationals, and after Sun Xiang's departure this season, they began to chase Zou Zheng, who is still in the Central League, and Lu Zhihui, the left wing-back of the Longteng team.
In the position of right fullback, Evergrande also has its own two-handed arrangement, if Zhang Linpeng really wants to leave, then Wang Shangyuan, who plays in the Belgian Brugge team, is their target, and they are also ready to move Shu Jun, the captain of the Longteng team, who is also a right back.
Of course, in Shu Jun's transfer problem, Evergrande is not without competitors, Beijing Guoan in the face of the Longteng team, their right-back Zhou Ting is really embarrassed, and Zhou Ting himself said that he will retire after the 2015 season, so it is imperative to recruit a young and powerful person to replace him, although Shu Jun was sent off in the game against Guoan, Guoan himself knows that it is the referee's problem, Shu Jun's own strength is no problem, so the chase for him has not relaxed.
Of course, what Guoan needs most now is a left midfielder, Liu Xing was injured at the end of the season and missed a few games, Zhang Xizhe left the Bundesliga, then the relegated Dalian Albin player Yu Dabao has become the object that Guoan wants to come over, and I heard that it has been staring at it for a long time.
Also brandishing cheques this season are the Shanghai Twins.
After Shanghai Greenland acquired Shenhua last year, causing a turmoil in changing its name, this season can be regarded as "reforming", and is ready to add the word Shenhua to the club's name again and change its name to Shanghai Greenland Shenhua Football Club.
While catering to the needs of the fans in the club's name, they have not forgotten another thing that fans are looking forward to even more - recruitment.
A number of well-known players in China have been linked to Shenhua, and the club has been revealing that they want to bring in better foreign aid, and the transfer fee for this season is rumored to be as much as 500 million.
As a rival in the same city, Shanghai SIPG is certainly not willing to be left behind.
And after the end of the season, they announced the overall acquisition of Shanghai East Asia Football Club, which can be regarded as completely erasing the traces of East Asia from this team, so correspondingly, in the first year of the successful acquisition, in order to show the new team and new atmosphere, it is certain to spend money to buy people.
First of all, they reached out to Guangzhou R&F and dug up the entire coaching team of R&F, as the coach of R&F, Eriksen has performed very well in the past two seasons, although because of the appearance of the Longteng team, Eriksen failed to lead the team to the AFC Champions League this season, but his successful transformation of the team is still obvious to all.
And Eriksen will also bring his love for R&F Dawei to Shanghai SIPG, which has strengthened its coaching staff while weakening a potential AFC Champions League qualification competitor, killing two birds with one stone.
At the same time, Shandong Luneng is also strengthening the strength of the team.
Luneng's performance in the league this season was a mess, but fortunately, Kuka led the team to win the FA Cup when the Longteng players were not in order, and retained the coach's seat, so reinforcements became their first choice.
For Luneng, who is not bad for money, the stroke will definitely be not small.
Another team that is ready to buy a lot of people is Guangzhou R&F.
Because Elkeson was poached by SIPG, Dawei left, striker Aaron also intended to leave the team, and last season's failure to compete for the AFC Champions League qualification, they have always wanted to wrestle with their city rival Guangzhou Evergrande, and they have also begun to introduce coaches and players.
In addition to these teams who only care about the top few teams, many teams that want to be relegated have not relaxed their recruitment moves.
The introduction of the last team is even more related to Zhang Sheng, that is, Jiangsu Shuntian.
Because of the poor results of Shuntian this season - 12th place, the FA Cup was eliminated in the 1/4 finals, and the head coach Stano from Guoan was decisively expelled, and they set their sights on Gao Hongbo, that is to say, after going around in a circle, Shuntian returned to the original path, which is worthy of the inertia of history.
