18. Finally, it's a matter of money
For youth training and echelon, Zhang Sheng still has enough confidence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Now Longteng Club has a reserve team, U17, U13 and U9 echelons. It can be said that in the clubs of the Central League, it has been at the forefront of all teams. Coupled with the players summoned by his own summoning system, he didn't spend that unjust money to acquire the outside echelon at all.
What's more, Jiangcheng Zall is the darling of Jiangcheng football, not to mention that they will play in the Chinese Super League next year, just from the history of Jiangcheng Zall itself, tracing back to the source, this team is the descendant of the real banner of Jiangcheng football, so it has been concerned and cared for by the entire Jiangcheng and even Hubei Province. So some time ago, Zall had reached an agreement with the Jiangcheng Football Association, and it is not surprising that the players of the Jiangcheng Football Association will supply Zall in the future.
This means that many football talents have been monopolized by Zall, even if the Longteng team buys other echelons, the echelons that come over are all very poor in ability, and the cost performance will be very low. It is better for the Longteng team to report its echelon to the Football Association first, and then slowly replenish it.
Zhang Sheng thought of this and insisted on his own approach: "Dad, I think that since we already have a football school, there is no need to do such a quick success, and now the youth coaches from Germany are also in place step by step, I think we should still believe in them." ”
Seeing Zhang Sheng say this, Zhang Zhijun didn't persuade him, and he also knew that it was really not cost-effective to just buy the echelon. Because the next thing is also more important, and that is the question of money.
Zhang Zhijun is also very cautious about this question: "Zhang Sheng, the team has just entered the Central League, according to your plan, how long will it take to rush to the first division?"
Zhang Zhijun asked this question, mainly to consider the input of Zhongjia. Because there is basically no income in the middle league, how much money to invest and how to invest are what every club needs to be cautious about.
Throughout the nearly 10-year history of the Chinese League, the disparity between the rich and the poor in the Chinese League has indeed intensified. The Chinese League was founded in 2004, its predecessor was the League B, due to factors such as expansion, the investment of China's secondary league at that time has been small, and the investment of more than 10 million levels is enough to become a local tyrant in the league. In the first year of the Chinese League, in 2004, the Jiangcheng team invested 33 million yuan, ranking second in the first division, and the largest investment that year was Jiangsu Shuntian invested 46 million yuan, and the Zhuhai Zhongbang investment that year and Jiangcheng team joined hands to surpass the success was only 26 million yuan. In the later 2014 season, the Jiangcheng team's investment was also the second in the Chinese League, but it cost 60 million yuan, and the two teams Chongqing Lifan and Shijiazhuang Yongchang spent 70 million yuan and more than 40 million yuan respectively. Comparing the two sets of figures, it is not difficult to see how much growth has been made in terms of team investment over the past decade.
Before 2009, the Chinese League has been in tens of millions of rushes, millions of relegation under the tepid state, until Guangzhou Evergrande into the Chinese football, the situation began to change dramatically, the 2010 season of the Chinese League, Guangzhou Evergrande crazy investment of 170 million yuan, hired Li Zhangzhu as the head coach, under the leadership of Muric, Zheng Zhi, Gao Lin and other stars, Guangzhou Evergrande is also the most successful team in the history of the Chinese League. In the 2011 season, Dalian Albin and Guangzhou R&F became the top players in the Chinese League, and finally Albin has invested more than 70 million yuan to surpass the success, and R&F also spent a lot of money.
According to incomplete statistics, the average investment of the teams in the Chinese League last year was about 15 million yuan, and in the end, the two teams that overtook the Shanghai East Asia team invested about 18 million yuan, and the Jiangcheng Zall team invested about 50 million yuan. The difference between the two teams' investment is relatively large because of the difference in the models of the two teams. As the Shanghai East Asia team that he coached by himself, Xu Genbao's salaries and bonuses to the players are not high, but these players will still do their best for the team. In addition to Harbin Yiteng and Shanghai East Asia, which have better youth training systems, Jianye, Yongchang, Lifan, and Zall have invested in 50 million yuan.
Over the course of a decade, the value of players has also increased exponentially. In addition to the expensive foreign aid, the introduction of local central defenders can be compared: in 2004, the Jiangcheng team from the Guangzhou team to introduce the backbone of the defense Li Zifei, spent 1.56 million yuan, and in 2014, from Shandong Luneng to the Jiangcheng team of the young player Liu Yang, his transfer fee was 3.5 million yuan. In addition, the significant increase in salary income has also become a running cost that teams must face. Aside from the snowballing winning bonus, ten years ago, the monthly income of 10,000 yuan seemed to be the highest salary among the players in the Chinese League, and now the annual income of more than one million is not an isolated phenomenon.
Lacking the attention of fans and no market returns, the only way for teams in the Chinese League to successfully counterattack is self-reliance, and the most direct way is to surpass. Throughout the history of the Chinese League, each club has its own unique way of operating, Guangzhou Evergrande, Dalian Albin and other giants have exchanged huge investment for short-term returns, while Shanghai East Asia and Yi Teng have also achieved success with youth training and long-term investment, like Harbin Yi Teng team only has more than 10 million yuan per year, but it has achieved very good results.
Zhang Zhijun was concerned about the youth training system before, and he also wanted to ask Zhang Sheng's operation ideas, so as to have a psychological preparation for the annual investment.
Zhang Sheng answered Zhang Zhijun's question very confidently: "I guarantee that our team will be able to surpass success this year." ”
Zhang Zhijun and Zhang Chen glanced at each other, obviously a little dissatisfied with this answer. Zhang Chen also persuaded: "Brother, I know that you are very confident in the team, but it is not easy to surpass the team. The level of middle A is not at all comparable to that of middle B. I think it's important to have a thorough and detailed plan. ”
Zhang Sheng wanted to refute on the spot, but was immediately stopped by Zhang Zhijun: "I know what you want to say, whether you want to issue a military order again." Your brother also cares about you, the matter of rushing to the super is not simple, this is not only related to the development of your team, but also related to the strategic planning of the group, and you can no longer rely on you. ”
Seeing that his father and brother are so cautious, Zhang Sheng can't directly say that I have a summoning system, don't worry. In the end, Zhang Sheng compromised, and he remembered Zhang Sheng's plan before he crossed over: "According to the worst plan, I am ready to spend three years to surpass." I have my own ideas about the investment in rushing. ”
Zhang Zhijun nodded: "Then you can talk about it." ”
Zhang Sheng pointed his fingers and said, "Dad, you should know the cost of Zhuoer Chongchao last year, right?"
Seeing Zhang Zhijun nodding his head to show understanding, Zhang Sheng continued: "I don't think we need to spend so much money on 5000w to invest in Chongchao. First of all, the value of our foreign aid is relatively low, and the four foreign aid signed now only cost 100w euros. Secondly, our players are all self-trained, and the salary is relatively low, I calculated that it is about 200w. ”
Zhang Chen interjected and asked, "Is the salary so small?"
Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "That's right." Most of the teams have four salaries, 2000300050008000 we have lower salaries because we are all young players. But in terms of bonuses, we have to do a good job. Last season, our league win prize was 10w per game and the draw was 5w. The game in the middle league is even harder, and I want to set the winning prize at 20w, and the draw is still 5w. As for the FA Cup win and promotion awards, it would be fine to keep it the same. But the most important thing is that the prize money is paid out in a timely manner, preferably the day after the game, so that the bonus is more effective for the players. ”
Zhang Zhijun asked a little worriedly, "Will the bonus be too small?"
Zhang Sheng shook his head and emphasized again: "Although this bonus is not much, it should be a lot. The most important thing is that we can ensure that we can distribute it in a timely manner. ”
In fact, Zhang Sheng is referring to something, and now many Chinese teams have a practice, that is, to try to increase the salaries and bonuses of the introduced players, and to draw people into the team after they owe it first, even if the budget is not enough, you can wait until next year's budget to 'tear down the east wall and make up the west wall'.
Taking Chengdu Tiancheng as an example, as the spark of professional football in Chengdu, it was finally relegated due to the financial crisis, and the arrears of the players' salaries were not resolved until the end, so far there is no professional team in Sichuan football.
As for the bigger trouble, there is an 800w wage arrears incident in Nanjing. Later, there were 12 registered players in one game, and the team was also discouraged and relegated to the second division. Of course, it is not only the above two teams that owe wages, including Guangdong Rizhiquan, Qingdao Manatee, Shenzhen Red Diamond and Shenyang Zhongze, all of which have had scandals of unpaid wages. So much so that the Chinese Football Association later stipulated that if the salary and bonus confirmation form (also commonly known as the non-arrears table in the circle) was not submitted before 17 o'clock on January 15, the team would automatically lose its registration qualification!
Zhang Zhijun was also very satisfied with this statement: "This is the practice of doing practical things, so let's do what you say." So tell me how much money you're going to need each year?"
Zhang Sheng thought for a while and confirmed: "According to my thoughts, the annual fund of 1500w is considered to be the top, of course, if the results of the FA Cup are good, there may be more bonuses." ”
Zhang Zhijun finally decided: "So be it." For the purchase of players, the group will provide 3000w of funds per year. You've already decided on it this year. For the operation of the club, the group will also provide 3000w of funds every year. As for the surplus transferred out of the player, you can control it yourself, put it into the bonus or supplement the transfer fee. The rush year is limited to 3 years. After 3 years, the club will make another plan. Zhang Zhijun turned his head to look at Zhang Chen, "Then it's Zhang Chen." This year, the group will concentrate resources on the development of the Olympic Sports Center project, and the project and the connection between the project and the football club will be handed over to you.
