Chapter 516: Liverpool and Football Investment

Joining the Trilateral Committee made Zhou Shi barely step into the top of this world. Qualified to worry about the future of humanity. However, he flew to England as planned, and the company's development plans would not be affected. However, although he joined the trilateral committee on the American side, he was also welcomed in England.

I originally wanted to go to the last Liverpool game, but unfortunately it was not in London or Liverpool, so Zhou Shi gave up this idea. This time, he and Lu He mainly made the final decision for the construction of the new stadium, which obviously would not be the 100,000-person stadium that Zhou Shi originally envisioned. It's not that there are no 100,000-person stadiums in the world, the main thing is that Liverpool's ball market is obviously not so big, even after a few years, the stadium of 50,000 people has not been filled, and it is about 97 percent, Tottenham's new Wembley Stadium has 90,000 people, and the attendance rate is only 67 percent, and too empty stadiums will seriously affect the home atmosphere. Well, Liverpool's average home stadium is over 50,000 people is already good, but Soriano decided to build an 80,000-man stadium after careful consideration, leaving room for expansion. The cost of competing for a stadium may be as high as 500 million pounds (Tottenham's stadium with more than 100,000 people is more than 600 million, which also includes the fact that the land price in London is much higher than in the Liverpool area, and the new stadium of Tottenham is still a few years later, and the land price itself has risen a lot, so 500 million pounds should be more reasonable).

The expenditure of 500 million pounds is not a small amount, and if it is entrusted to no one, it is possible that hundreds of millions of pounds will not see a splash. He had just joined the Trilateral Commission, and the possibility of joining the Petersberg Club gave him more confidence. In addition, Galaxy Capital has built a network of influence in the United Kingdom, which is able to withstand most risks. Those who think that being rich is an uncle must have too many fantasies, and if they don't have enough strength to support them, they will only be a fat pig to be slaughtered. Even Zhou Shi has encountered a lot of challenges, how many of those immoral and incompetent nouveau riche can die well, and the domestic pig killing list is not a decoration.

"Simon, do you really want to build a new stadium?" Soriano still couldn't believe it, the British media had a big report on Zhou Shi's situation a while ago. Many companies related to him have fallen into a lot of trouble, including Friends.com and Twitter, which are widely used in European cultural and sports circles, plus the latest mobile phone brand Guoke.

"It's okay, the group will soon be back to normal. "Zhou Shi

"Simon was invited to join the Trilateral Commission, which was tight on money and now that the restrictions have been lifted, if you have any players to buy, you can rest assured that you can make a bold offer, and we still have a chance when the Financial Fair Play Act is not yet in place. "Lu He

"No need to buy players, we have players who are good enough now, we just need to make small repairs,Rafael said that in the next few years our team will enter a period of maturity, and then it will be time for us to reap the glory. "Soriano

"yes, that's good, I'll wait to see your results. "Zhou Shi

"There is absolutely no problem, but Chairman Lu, the commercial development of the team, especially the development of the Chinese market, needs your assistance. "Soriano

"Oh, what do you want me to do?" Lu He

"There are many companies in Huaxia who want to talk to us about sponsorship and invite us to perform in Huaxia. However, we are short of professionals to deal with Huaxia. "Soriano

"This matter is easy to handle, and the right person will come to assist you soon" Lu He

"If a satellite club can be established in China, it will be of great benefit to the establishment of Liverpool's brand image. "Soriano

"Chinese football is so bad, and there is also the impact of labor certification, it is difficult to provide Liverpool with enough and good talents!" Zhou Shi

"We don't need the talent that China provides, we can also provide talent for China, for example, to provide a place for young players to build confidence. "Soriano

"It seems good to provide a place for Liverpool to train, if the players who train here can perform well in Europe, he will have a lot more appeal in the Chinese market. "Zhou Shi

"I think so too, with the conditions of Chairman Lu and Simon, we have a great chance to become the most influential football club in China. "Soriano

"In that case, it's better to buy a club domestically, buy a small club in a country that doesn't have restrictions such as labor certifications, and let the domestic players come out, so that we can be undefeated at home. "Lu He

"It's a good way to bring in talents and go out. Zhou Shi thought about it, it seems that he can make a lot of contributions to domestic football. Even if the loss of domestic players going out can be made up for by means of a second transfer contract.

"It's likely that the small club won't be able to recoup its costs. "Soriano

"We can make money through other channels, like Liverpool. "Zhou Shi

Soriano seems to think about it, the meat is rotten in the pot, but this is something that other clubs can't learn, and there are a few world-class rich people who will invest in football. The richest man in the Premier League has also changed from Chelsea's Abou to Liverpool's Zhou Shi. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan does not count, most of his wealth belongs to the family, and politics and business are integrated.

"So buying a football club in China is our next target?" said Soriano

"But in the future, the entire team and youth training system of that club in Huaxia will need you to bother!" Zhou Shi didn't believe that there were many high-quality professionals in China, and even the referees were amateurs, let alone others.

"The academy can be recruited from places like La Masia and Ajax, and it's mainly about input. The remuneration of these people working in China will not be low. "Soriano

"Then some of them are recruited to study at home, and some of them are studying abroad from home. Zhou Shi still decided that if his own people were not good, it would be useless to invite more foreigners.

The domestic football world has not yet set off a big black storm, and now it is a group of demons dancing, and the most important thing is that the professional ethics of domestic players are basically without any morality, and these situations cannot be changed even if there is more investment. There are too many players like Bai Chop Chicken, and domestic players are not without talent, but they have to waste talent if they do. There are many players who are caught up in gambling and match-fixing, and it is even more common for players who smoke and drink. Zhou Shi really doesn't have much confidence in overseas players coming to China for actual combat training, and I am afraid that he will fall into a situation of "tireless teaching". But no matter what, domestic football still needs to be invested, and you can do as much as you can.
