At a time when the youth programme was being refined, the BBC broadcast a video of George Macmillan's apology to the world.

In the video, George Macmillan is wearing a normal suit. Like a grandson, restrained, wooden, nervous and remorseful, he constantly confessed his stupidity and mistakes to the camera, repeatedly apologized to the Chinese people, and repeatedly explained that he had no disrespect for Huaxia, but he didn't control his tone, so he accidentally released the wrong information, so he begged all the Chinese people for forgiveness.

Judging from the video alone, George Macmillan's apology is very sincere, and there are almost no flaws to be found.

However, Li Mu knows too well that this stupid bird is two pounds, and he doesn't have the city government at all to act in such a play.

It seems that there is a professional team behind him to help him, help him draft the apology, help him match his clothes, and help him design his expressions and body language, otherwise, with his heart, it would be impossible to achieve such an impeccable apology video.

And Li Mu also knew what George Macmillan, and the Macmillan family behind him, invested so much energy in him.

From the situation of the Goldberg family, Li Mu learned that these old aristocrats and big families in Europe generally have the role of family leaders, but all family leaders will have a stronger voice and resource allocation power in the entire family, so the struggle for family leaders in each generation continues.

George Macmillan was trained as the next generation of family leaders, but he has not yet taken over, so he caused such a big trouble, not only offended Li Mu, but even offended all the Chinese people, in such a passive situation, George Macmillan is very likely to lose the identity of the family leader.

Therefore, he must make up for the mistakes he made as much as possible, and his apology, Li Mu may not buy it, but as long as he does it sincerely and let the people of China buy it, it is enough.

It was precisely because he saw through his motives that Li Mu was not ready to let him go.

When the BBC inserted a video of George Macmillan's apology on TV, an article washing the floor for George Macmillan also appeared on Titter, and the article even used the water army from China to publish Titter in Chinese, saying that George Macmillan's words were unintentional, he was not aimed at the Chinese people, but simply a little angry about that incident, so he made inappropriate remarks, and his apology was so sincere that it could be forgiven.

There are more and more such contents, comments and feedback are becoming more and more positive, and it seems that this crisis PR is on the way to success.

However, Li Mu took the time to use his Titter to post a third tweet related to this incident.

The content of the tweet was:

"In my opinion, George Macmillan's apology is all a lie!

Because many days ago, when I was attending a salon in the Goldberg family, I had a conflict with George Macmillan, and I even beat this stupid guy because he insulted Huaxia and the people of Huaxia several times in front of me, and the part in the recording was the second time he insulted Huaxia!

So, in my eyes, George Macmillan, is a racist who doesn't know how to learn, a piece of trash who lies even to apologize, So, Fuck-Off!"

This Titter made George Macmillan's PR, which had originally begun to work, fall to the bottom in an instant.

In contrast, Li Mu's credibility is countless times greater than that of George Macmillan, and as soon as he expressed his position, all netizens overwhelmingly supported Li Mu and criticized George Macmillan.

Especially Chinese netizens, the hatred of this rich kid can be said to be deeply hated.

George Macmillan was immediately scolded on the Titter, and even the BBS that published the apology video for him was shocked.

The Macmillan family, especially George's father, William Macmillan was almost desperate, and Li Mu made up for it at this time, basically to minimize the possibility of George becoming the leader of the Macmillan family in the future, and it seems that he only used one Titter to achieve this goal!

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Makino Technology released a full set of plans for youth training with Manchester City Club for the whole country.

As soon as this plan came out, it shook the entire domestic football industry greatly, and at the same time caused a huge sensation at the level of ordinary people.

From the youth training plan announced by Makino Technology, it can be seen that Makino Technology is completely self-paying to carry out this youth training this time, and the high standard of this youth training is unprecedented in China.

First of all, Makino Technology not only does not require youth trainees to pay a penny, but even the audition reimburses the children and parents for travel expenses and accommodation expenses.

This set of scoring criteria is directly taken from Manchester City's previous youth training assessment standards.

The assessment is divided into ten items, each item is 10 points, and the total score is 100 points.

The 10 events are: Strength, Fitness, Speed, Awareness, Juggling, Passing and Receiving, Dribbling Over the Pole, Positioning Kicks, Shooting, Heading.

In the scoring system with a full score of 100 points, as long as the child can reach 40 points, he can be reimbursed for travel expenses and accommodation expenses, and if he or she scores less than 40 points, he will not be reimbursed;

Those with more than 40 points but less than 60 points will not be able to pass the primary election;

Those with more than 60 points will pass the primary selection and prepare for the second round of screening;

In the second round of screening, the top 1,000 people prepared for the third round of screening;

In the third round of screening, the top 300 people with the highest scores prepare for the final round of screening;

In the final round, among the 300 people, the 30 people with the highest score will be selected, and the final 30 people will be uniformly processed by Makino Technology for them to apply for visas and arrange to go to the UK for training.

In addition to the fact that there is no registration fee for the audition, no students are allowed to spend money, and even reimbursement of travel expenses and accommodation expenses, as long as the youth players can enter the third round, they will be rewarded accordingly, with a reward of RMB 5,000 per person;

The 300 people who can enter the fourth round will be rewarded with RMB 10,000 each;

Once the last 30 people are selected, they will be directly rewarded with 20,000 US dollars, and Makino Technology not only bears all the expenses, but even gives a frighteningly high "salary" every month.

Many professional players can't help but sigh that Li Mu's treatment of youth trainees exceeds the salary of 90% of domestic A-A professional players, and the standard is wealthy;

Roughly calculated, two batches of 60 youth trainees are sent every year, each with bonuses and subsidies, plus various other costs, almost more than 100,000 US dollars, in this way, the cost to be borne in a year is nearly 10 million US dollars, plus the expenses required for the audition, it is estimated that 15 million to 18 million US dollars a year will be smashed!

Moreover, in the plan announced by Makino Technology, there is a very important point: Makino Technology and Manchester City Club will not require youth students to sign a brokerage contract.

In other words, Makino Technology spends money and Manchester City Club contributes to the two sides to cultivate a group of domestic youth football players, but after training, their professional freedom is never restricted, and they have no conditions to tie up, and they can play in any team.

Almost all clubs' youth training is divided into two modes, one at own expense and one for free.

Needless to say, self-funded ones are spent on studying, which is no different from spending money to go to cram school;

As for the free, there are usually clubs that bear all the costs, but the youth students must sign a multi-year agreement with the club, and some will even be tied for a longer time, because they don't want the talent they have cultivated to be lost to other teams.

However, Li Mu doesn't care about this at all, what he wants is to quickly cultivate a group of potential teenagers for Huaxia, this time does not need to be too long, as short as three or five years, as long as eight years or nine years, even if it is only for Huaxia to cultivate two or three excellent players who can play the main position in Europe's first-class clubs, it can greatly improve the football level of Huaxia.

Li Mu doesn't believe that in the next five years, there will be no outstanding players out of the 300 youth training places.

The entire youth training audition activities were all arranged by Li Mu in Yanjing, and the specific time and place have not yet been decided.

He asked the staff of Makino Technology to find a standard football stadium in Yanjing, the football stadium must have hardware standards, convenient transportation, the number of hotels around the stadium and other requirements, once found a venue that meets the requirements, immediately sign an agreement to win, and then start to formulate a specific time plan.

At that time, the entire audition process will be completed by the staff of Manchester City Club, Manchester City will send youth team coaches, physical coaches, assistant coaches, team doctors, etc. to Yanjing, from the audition to the final list formulation, all the right to judge will be handed over to Manchester City professionals, so as to avoid favoritism to the greatest extent.

What makes Li Mu most pleased is that once this youth training plan was released, it suddenly made domestic young parents look at football with admiration.

In the past, they thought that their children had no future in football, but now there has been a change, Li Mu bought Manchester City, and is ready to engage in youth training in China, and gives such a generous and attractive incentive, it is simply in the minds of parents that football has been raised from the valley to the top.

Countless parents began to be eager to try, and even hope that their children will start practicing from now on, because even if they can't be selected this year, there will still be opportunities next year, the year after next and the year after tomorrow.

So, on the second day after Makino Technology released its youth training plan, a wave of football fever was set off across the country.

After class, there are obviously more children playing football, the football fields in the city begin to be overcrowded, and those outdoor fields that are barely suitable for playing football are also encroached upon, and even some parents begin to take their children around to find basketball courts everywhere to practice basic skills such as positioning long-range shooting and shooting.

Stores specializing in sporting goods ushered in the biggest wave of market since the new century, in many places, the soccer balls, jerseys and sneakers in such stores have been snapped up, even the superior dealers have not been able to transfer the goods, and the manufacturer's production capacity is also very limited, full horsepower production, but still unable to meet the needs of the market.

A national football craze has begun.
