919. Finally getting to the point

Seeing that the time was not early, the two of them hadn't talked about business yet.

Zhou Fangyuan was helpless in his heart, he wanted to lead the topic to the winery several times halfway, but Arnault could always quietly change the topic. If it is an ordinary person, it is not worth Zhou Fangyuan's attention, just use money to smash it. However, Arnault is not short of money, and LVMH is not short of money, not that it is useless to throw money, but if you really want to spend money, how much is appropriate? Winery is sometimes bottomless, and the more famous the winery, the more expensive it is, even to the extent that it is reasonable to throw away any amount of money.

Of course, Zhou Fangyuan can't invest blindly, and if the value of the winery exceeds expectations, then he can only give up. Therefore, he came to visit Arnault to get a sincere price, rather than negotiate with the other party to ask for some exorbitant price and pay back on the spot. But now that Arnault doesn't pick up, Zhou Fangyuan is very helpless.

Arnault, for his part, was still chattering about his love for French football.

Or rather, his love of football.

No way, who makes football the number one sport in the world?

Not only does he like it, but countless fans all over the world, people who like football, the most of all sports, and there is no problem that football is called the number one sport.

The earliest football actually originated in China, and this statement has been recognized by the international community.

It was still the Qi State in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, when the football was called "Keju", and the Han Dynasty Keju was a means of training soldiers, and a relatively complete system was formulated. For example, if a court is specially set up, it is specified as a rectangle in the east-west direction, and there are six symmetrical "Ju Domains" at each end, also known as "Ju Chamber", each guarded by one person. The site is surrounded by a fence. The game is divided into two teams, which attack and defend each other, and the winner is determined by the number of kicks into the opponent's bow room.

After the initial popularity of the Han Dynasty, the Keju activities reached a climax in the Tang and Song dynasties, and even the kicking method of division of labor according to the position on the field appeared. In the Tang Dynasty, there were many ways to juju, there were "juju" for the number of times of the game, there was a net hanging in the middle of the field, similar to the "white play" of net football, there were many people involved in the "leap bow", and there was a game with a goal, this way each team has a certain number of people and a fixed position, and the players can only play in their own positions and cannot move. At the same time, Keju and Buddhism were transmitted to Fuso, and the use of "Keju" in Japanese and Korean can still be seen as a Chinese influence.

The Song Dynasty's "Wulin Old Things" once listed the list and position of the two teams during the "Thirty-two Zhuqiu" competition: "16 people in the left army: Zhang Jun in the ball head, Wang Lian in the stilt ball, Zhu Xuan in the head, Shi Ze in the head, Ding Quan in the left pole net, Zhang Lin in the right pole net, Hu Chun in the right pole net, etc.; 16 people in the right army: Li Zheng in the ball head, Zhu Zhen in the seesaw ball, Zhu Xuan in the right pole, Zhang Ning in the vice-coercion, Xu Bin in the left pole net, Wang Yong on the right pole net, and Chen Jun in the right pole." This is considered to be the first football "starting list" in history.

From the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, Keju experienced a process of development to a climax, but by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this activity went into decline. It is said that the Greeks and Romans were already playing a game of football before the Middle Ages. On a rectangular court, they placed the ball on a white line in the middle and kicked it with their feet onto the opponent's court, a game called "Habastom" at the time.

The origins of modern football are in England. Legend has it that in the 11th century, there was a war between England and Denmark, after the war, the English people found the skull of a Danish invader when they were cleaning up the ruins of the war, out of resentment, they kicked the skull with their feet, and a group of children also came to kick it, but they found that the skull kicked and the foot hurt, so they used a cow bladder blow to replace it - this is the birth of modern football.

At the beginning of the 12th century, there was a football game in England. King Henry IV of England came up with the earliest English word foteball to define football, and games are entertainment, twice a year, generally held between two cities. The host throws the ball into the air and the game begins. Both sides will rush up, shouting, kicking and hugging, and whichever side can kick the ball into the other's downtown area will win. If the ball enters the house in the middle of the way, people will rush in and kick it indiscriminately, often smashing the contents of the house, and the owner has to sigh that he is unlucky.

When a pedestrian on the road touches a ball rolling over, he will suffer a flying disaster. So at that time, as soon as the game came, people had to escape the disaster and close their doors until the game was over. Such a game was strongly opposed by the public, and the English government issued a ban: the football game was to be played in the open field, and those who entered the downtown area were heavily fined, so a special football stadium appeared. By the early 19th century, football was quite popular in some countries in Europe and Latin America, especially in England.

In 1848, the Cambridge Rules, the first written rules of football, were born. The so-called Cambridge Rules were some of the rules that were developed during the competition between Oxford and Cambridge in the early 19th century. At that time, there were 11 people in each team playing. Because there were 10 students and one teacher in each dormitory at the school, they played dormito-dormitory matches with 11 people per side, and the current 11-a-side football game started at that time.

In 1862, the world's first football club was founded in Nottinghamshire, England. In 1863, the first football association (FA) was established in England and the rules of football were unified, and this day is known as the birth day of modern football. There are a total of 14 football rules formulated this time, which are the basis of today's football rules. From the second Olympic Games in 1900, football was included as an official Olympic sport, but it did not allow professional athletes to participate. On May 21, 1904, FIFA was founded in Paris. In 1904, the football associations of France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, and Spain established the Fédération Internationale de Football Association in France. Since 1930, the World Cup has been held every four years, and restrictions on professional athletes have been lifted.

Football has gone through many twists and turns, and has become the most popular sport in the world from ancient times to the present.

In comparison, basketball is a bit worse.

In fact, the watchability of basketball should be no less than that of football, although the field is small and the number of people is small, but because the human palm is more flexible than the ball of the foot, the action can be more gorgeous, and the game is relatively more intense.

But it's a pity that basketball, to this day, is still the dominant situation in the United States. Just like the pattern of national strength, one super and many strong, the United States is the one super, basically in a state of arrogance. Even if today's Dream Team no longer has the glory of the past, it still crushes other countries, so that the game is not unexecuted. The most important thing in sports competition is the unknown, and there are winners and losers to be interesting. For example, in the table tennis project in China, the world competition is not as fierce as the team competition, so naturally people from other countries don't like it very much.

Basketball is the same path.

It's the same thing in football.

In football, there is no such thing as one superpower and many strong.

At present, it seems that the most powerful country in football is still the Brazilian team in theory, after all, the Brazilian team has won the most World Cup titles. But even the Brazilian team does not dare to guarantee that they will reach the finals every time, and they have been eliminated in the semi-finals many times. It can be said that as long as it is the best team in the world, it is possible to win the Hercules Cup. At the beginning of every international competition, the ownership of the championship is unknown, which is one of the fundamental reasons why people love football the most. doll

Because of the unknown, everyone has room for speculation and the possibility of looking forward to it.

Basketball because of the dominance of the United States, as long as it is an international competition, the champion must be the United States, just like table tennis, why do people from other countries like it? It makes no sense to like to come and go, and your own country can't win the championship. It's also thanks to the fact that basketball is really beautiful, otherwise it's really the same as table tennis, only the strong can play with themselves, and others can't get involved.

As for the French team, it is also one of the strongest teams in the world football world.

As a Frenchman, Arnault is naturally honored, and he likes football, and when it comes to football, it is simply not over.

It just so happens that this year is another World Cup year, this summer, the 18th World Cup will be held in Germany, not far from France, the entire French society, now has begun to preview the heat of the World Cup, Zhou Fangyuan on the way, you can already see a lot of fans with the French flag painted on their faces, all kinds of carnivals in the streets and alleys. There are still two months before the World Cup, and it has already been so lively, when will the World Cup really begin? As the host, how lively will Germany be?

This is the charm of football, and it is also a mystery that countless people are obsessed with it.

However, Zhou Fangyuan didn't come today to talk about football!

He was a little anxious in his heart, this kind of thing can't be delayed, if it is delayed, maybe there will be other variables. But he can't be in a hurry yet, he can't lose an inch, once he loses his ground, it is likely to cause more trouble.

A good winery is always a seller's market, and it is the seller who has the final say. Whether to sell or not, when to sell, and how much to sell are not negotiable, but in general, it still depends on the seller's intentions. Again, Arnault is not short of money, if people insist on not selling, then Zhou Fangyuan can only say that it is time to change the target or buy it at a premium. He didn't want to change the target or something, he looked at several manors, and Lusalus was his favorite. But there are some troubles with a premium buyout, because once a premium is acquired, the cost can often become very large, and a lot of liquidity is mobilized for the sake of a winery...... No fool would do that, after all, a winery is not a necessity.

In short, seeing Arnault talking eloquently, without talking about the winery at all, Zhou Fangyuan felt helpless in his heart.

Talking about football, chatting and talking, I don't know why, Arnault changed his words and talked about tennis again.

Well, it's actually normal, after all, the French Open is also internationally famous.

The French Open, also known as the French Open, is a tennis grand slam tournament held annually from May to June at the Roland Garros Stadium in Paris, France. The tournament is the second Grand Slam tournament to be played each year after the Australian Open. The tournament was founded in 1891 and became the first major tournament to enter the Open era in 1968. The tournament is played on an outdoor clay court, which is often close to four hours long due to the slower speed of the clay court, which is good for baseline confrontation, and the men's singles matches are decided in a best-of-five series. Because it is extremely difficult to win in such a field, the players need to have excellent skill and amazing perseverance.

Unfortunately, despite the best clay in the world, the strength of the French players can only be described as average.

Counting the French Open champions over the years, there are few French players. Since 1968, there has been only one French champion in the men's singles, named Yannick Arnaud. In the women's group, since 1968, there has never been a French player as the champion, which shows that the French tennis strength is really not good.

In addition to tennis, France also has a relatively well-known sport.

That's the Tour de France.

The Tour de France is a well-known annual multi-stage road cycling event, mainly held in France, but also frequented by neighboring countries such as the United Kingdom, Belgium and the neighbouring Spanish Pyrenees.

Since its inception in 1903, it has been held annually in the summer and has been held over 23 days in 21 stages, with an average distance of more than 3,500 km. The full schedule varies from year to year, but most of them circle France for one week. In recent years, the Champs-Élysées in the heart of Paris has been crossed before the end of the race, passing by the Eiffel Tower. The race is divided into a number of segments, from one town to the next, each of which is timed separately. All the stage results are added up to determine the overall result of each rider. The winner is the one with the least accumulated amount of time in each period. At the end of each day, the leader will be given a yellow jersey, the best sprinter will receive a green jersey, and the best rider in the mountain race will receive a polka-dot jersey, sometimes referred to as the king of the mountain.

In this event, the number of French champions is relatively large, much better than that of the French Open.

At least there is a champion here, every year is not for nothing, and there are some receipts when it comes out, at least the face looks a lot better.

Aldo chattered endlessly, seeing that the sun was about to set, Arno suddenly changed his words after taking a sip of tea.

"You want to buy my Château Lysalus......"

Hearing this, Zhou Fangyuan immediately cheered up his spirit, okay, it's been a day of tossing, and he came over early in the morning, and it's all been a long time, and he has finally stepped into the right topic. Maybe there is still a possibility of testing patience here? But I'm sorry, Zhou Fangyuan can't enjoy so much now, and he doesn't want to think about it so much, he only knows that the next content is the most important thing, and whether he can take Lysarus according to the plan will be seen.
