Zhang Sheng said directly: "The team's investment is mainly in the investment of players and games. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I now understand that the capital investment is mainly the following negatives, one is to pay 1 million yuan (500,000 preliminaries, 500,000 finals) entry fee and 1 million league deposit. Second, the preliminary stage is a home-and-away system, which requires a certain amount of operating expenses. Then there is the cost of maintaining the team's grounds. Others, such as jerseys and game essentials, are all small money. ”

Zhang Zhijun nodded and said: "Well, I understand that the team has been established for a year now (club entities participating in the Chinese Second League must be established for at least one year), and they are also registered in the Football Association and the Industrial and Commercial 2 side." The hard conditions are basically met, but do you have any ideas on the core player problem? I think your current team is still mostly young players. Do you need to recruit a few strong players in a few core positions? The cost of the transfer, the group to find a way to solve. ”

Zhang Sheng shook his head and said: "Dad, you also know that now only 5 players over the age of 25 can participate in the second division, and now several old players in the team are still able, and a few young players can also be put on top if they have physical problems." The atmosphere in the team is also good. If you want to recruit overage players, one may affect the atmosphere in the team, and the other is that it is difficult to recruit players now, and the cost performance is indeed not very good. In addition, our team's physical training team is from Germany, and their work is also very effective, which should ensure the normal physical needs of the team. ”

Zhang Zhijun nodded and said: "You are professional in the evaluation and training of players' abilities, so I won't interfere much, so let's ask Vice President Yang of the logistics department of the group to arrange a logistics team for you to be responsible for the logistics arrangements for your team's usual outings." I can't solve other problems, but I can still help with this one. What is your plan for the team, and how many years do you plan to make it to the top team?"

Zhang Sheng smiled proudly and said: "I am ready to rush to the first division next year, and the strength of our team is outstanding in the entire second division." ”

Zhang Zhijun was a little stunned. After a pause, he said: "It's good to have confidence, but Chinese football is not as simple as you say, don't underestimate any team." Don't underestimate the complexity inside. ”

Zhang Sheng smiled and said: "Dad, I have also been immersed in the dye vat of Chinese football for more than 10 years, from the previous provincial echelon to the later Magic Water Youth Team, and then from the Jiangcheng Sports Institute to the current club, I still know the Tao of Taoism." Besides, since several major events in football in the past few years, I dare not say that the current professional football circle is clean, but at least many things dare not be so blatant. Results still depend on strength and competition. ”

Zhang Zhijun did not refute Zhang Sheng's words, but said very indifferently: "Since you have your own judgment, I won't say more." When you get married, you can be considered a family, and many things have to be borne by yourself. Then he turned his head to Ye Ting and said, "Have you decided to go to South America for your honeymoon?"

Ye Ting held Zhang Sheng's hand and said, "Yes, many countries in South America are very beautiful, and I used to look forward to traveling to South America." Besides, Zhang Sheng has several very good friends in Germany, all of whom are in the South American football circle. He also prepared to open channels for foreign aid and other things after he was promoted to the first in the past. I think it's pretty good. ”

Zhang Sheng glanced at Ye Ting, turned his head to Zhang Zhijun and said: "I had a similar agreement with those friends before I returned to China, and now there is still a lot of demand for South American players in China. Since they have the resources, I can also help the domestic team to pull the line, and many times, it is necessary to make a few more friends in the domestic club. ”

Zhang Zhijun was very appreciative this time: "Your idea is very good, competition is competition, and cooperation is indispensable in many cases." The more friends you make, the farther you can go. I support you, this time I go to South America, you don't have to worry about domestic affairs, I will ask someone to help you deal with it. ”

The next day, Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting boarded a plane to Hong Kong, then transferred in Hong Kong, and finally arrived in São Paulo. In São Paulo, Costa greeted Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting at the airport. Costa drove Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting to the hotel first.

São Paulo at the beginning of November is one of the hottest months of the year in São Paulo. Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting were wearing short sleeves and sunscreen. With the indigenous Costa, plus when he was in the Magic Water Youth Team before, Zhang Sheng stayed in São Paulo for nearly 4 years, and Zhang Sheng is also very familiar with São Paulo.

Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting first went to Ibirapuera Park, São Paulo Independencia Park, St. Paul's Cathedral and other places, and then Costa took the two to eat countless delicious tropical fruits, including Brazil's national drink guarana, as well as pure wild Amazon jungle products such as acai berries, cashew pears, custard apples and acerola tails.

Not far from São Paulo's Independency Park, Ye Ting pointed to a piece of low house and asked, "Where is that?"

Zhang Sheng said with a solemn expression: "That's a slum. The slum is also known as the "Wildflower Village", the Portuguese word for the ghetto is favela, which means "wild flowers full of life", many great stars such as Ronaldo and Xiao Luo have come out of here, although I really want Chinese football to become strong, but I don't like to get up in this way. The security over there is very poor, let's go. ”

After three days of happy play, Costa took Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting to meet Costa's father.

Costa's father, Costa Sr., is the club's deputy general manager of the São Paulo Corinthians team. He has previously spent time with both São Paulo and Pamelas, and as an insider in São Paulo football, he is very familiar with the São Paulo state team and has a deep network.

He is the only senior member of the club who has spent time at both Corinthians and Palmeiras. Because Corinthians and Palmeiras are old enemies, being able to stay at both clubs and be at the top without much criticism is a great figure.

Old Costa received Zhang Sheng and Ye Ting very warmly. Then Ye Ting went to chat with Costa's wife, and Zhang Sheng chatted with Costa's father and son. Because Zhang Sheng has spent a few years in Brazil, his Portuguese is still good, and he has no problem communicating with Costa and his son.

Zhang Sheng greeted the elder Costa and then said: "When I was a player, I spent almost four years in Sao Paulo, and there are a lot of good memories for me. The main reason I came here this time is to bring more excellent players to the Chinese Football League, and now China's professional football is developing rapidly, but more excellent players are needed to help them improve their level. ”

"Oh, I remember, there was a Chinese youth team that came to São Paulo for a few years," Costa said. Since then, we have also seen the Chinese market, in fact, our club is planning to have a Chinese player join our team. ”

Hearing the old Costa say this, Zhang Sheng thought of something that has been rumored in the circle for a long time now, that is, Chen Zhizhao joined Corinthians. Historically, in March next year, Chen Zhizhao did join Corinthians on loan, but with Chen Zhizhao's strength, he did not have much chance in Corinthians.

Zhang Sheng also said: "It's a really good thing, but I think Brazilian players should get more when they go to China. ”

Thinking of the later generations of the Chinese Super League waving money to poach Corinthians' number players one by one, the main striker Augusto and the main midfielder Ralph were poached by Beijing Guoan, the core defender Gil was poached by Shandong Luneng, and even the team Quan Jian of the Chinese League also poached the main midfielder Judson. It can be said that the entire central axis of Corinthians was hollowed out. I don't know what old Costa will think then.

The elder Costa proudly said: "Brazil is the kingdom of football, and there are a lot of good players. It's great to be able to communicate with China. “

Zhang Sheng introduced the development prospects of China's domestic football to the elder Costa, and then hoped that the elder Costa could play a role and recommend more excellent players to Chinese clubs. Of course, in the middle of the transaction, the Costa father and son can also get a lot of benefits.

"That's true, and I also want our exchanges to be interactive, and Costa may have told you that I have a club in China right now, and my club will play a professional league from next year," Zhang said. The club has already had a partnership with Red Bull Club in Germany, and we have a relatively large company behind the club, and the prospects for development are very good, so I wanted to get cooperation channels in Brazil as well, and I immediately thought of your help. ”

Old Costa glanced at his son, and Costa nodded to his father. Old Costa turned his head and said, "Zhang, I know that you and Costa are good friends, but you also know that businessisbusiness, business is business." Your team is just a brand new team after all, and we need to know more about cooperation. These things are not up to me alone. Since you have come from China so far to visit me, we are still willing to give you the opportunity to cooperate. Well, how about I'll take you to Corinthians' club tomorrow? As for the follow-up cooperation, we can talk about it in detail. “

Zhang Sheng agreed: "I agree with you, business and friendship are separate, thank you for the invitation, it is my honor to be able to visit one of the greatest clubs in Brazil, and I am looking forward to visiting tomorrow." I'm also looking forward to seeing you in China. ”
