Chapter 080: Fighting for Strength
Back to Madrid. A series of celebrations made the club feel like a spring breeze.
Simeone gets the treatment he wants—transfer rights.
Ding Yue got the news that the club was going to China this summer.
For a club that is building a team towards a first-class club, it is unscientific to have never been to China.
Whether from an economic point of view or from the perspective of expanding the market, China's big cake has been targeted by the giants.
With such a big baby as Ding Yue in his hand, if Atletico Madrid doesn't know how to use it, then it can only be said that the people in the operation department are fools.
One of the most striking examples is the interlaced NBA's Houston Rockets.
Alexander, who was the second-to-last owner in the NBA at the time, finally had a chance to make a comeback in 2002 - they got Yao Ming in the draft!
It is an undeniable fact that while believing in the strength of the little giant, he also covets the huge Chinese market behind him!
Facts have proved that Alexander is indeed a potential stock, Yao Ming's performance in the NBA for five years has blossomed - rising steadily, and the most intuitive confirmation of the influence derived from this is that the Rockets owner's wealth has skyrocketed.
In September 2006, the Forbes 400 richest people list was announced, and Alexander's assets soared to $1.2 billion, and he rose from the poorest owner in the NBA to the ninth richest person in the total assets of NBA owners. On January 26, 2007, the Forbes NBA Team Value List was announced, and the Rockets ranked 5th among the 30 NBA teams with assets of $439 million!
In fact, the "back-to-back" two championship trophies made Houston a more basketball-rich city, but it didn't give Alexander the wealth he had hoped for. According to ESPN, in the first few years of the 21st century, Alexander's personal net worth was only $00,000, making him one of the "poorest" owners in the NBA.
Change until Yao Ming's arrival.
In the beginning, the world was laughing.
Until recent years, the popularity and economic benefits of rockets in China have made all NBA bosses jealous.
According to BusinessInsider, according to statistics, from 2002 to 2011, when Yao Ming played for the Rockets, the NBA had its own merchandise stores in more than 100 countries, of which the Chinese market was the most profitable market after the United States!
Not only that, but over 30 million people tuned in to the Rockets on average every game in front of their TV sets in those 9 seasons!
The economic benefits of growing interest are enormous. According to the official statistics of the Rockets, the annual revenue of the Rockets has soared from $82 million in 2002 to nearly $160 million in 2011!
During this time, the Rockets also entered into partnerships with a number of sports brands in China. At the Toyota Center Arena in the Rockets, Chinese elements are everywhere from players to advertisements. It was the "power" of those seasons that transformed Alexander and his Rockets into the "middle class" of the league.
Such a leap is enough to be described as a miracle.

"We're going to have three games in China, one in your hometown. One in Shanghai and one in the imperial capital. ”
Before going on vacation, Simone found Ding Yue for a one-on-one conversation.
Ding Yue has mixed feelings, going to China for pre-season matches is good for both his domestic popularity and the club, but ...... Problems will follow.
"Very nice. China is a great country. You'll all love it then. Ding Yue said with a smile.
Simeone smiled politely and continued, "That's not the most critical issue. I can tell you unequivocally that we have received offers from a number of other clubs. Your offer. ”
Ding Yue was stunned.
Simeone banged on the table.
The atmosphere was a little dreary for a while.
After a while, Simeone asked, "Did the agent receive it?"
Simeone didn't say.
But Ding Yue knew what it meant. This happened in the time of Saint-Etienne.
"I had already told my agent before the UEFA Cup final that I would still be at Atletico next year. ”
"Didn't have an idea?"
"My idea is to win the European Cup at Atletico!"
This time it was Simeone's turn to be surprised.
"European Cup?"
I don't even think so!
"I think we can!"
Ding Yue naturally would not say that it would not be a problem for Atletico Madrid to enter the Champions League final in the future...... Simeone will be his teaser.
However, as long as he continues on this path, Simeone is not far from becoming famous and Atletico Madrid is not far from the championship.
Simeone was dumbfounded and smiled.
After thinking for a while, he stared at Ding Yue for a while before he realized that this kid was not joking.
"You have that much confidence in the club?"
"I have faith in you, coach. Ding Yue also looked at Simone with a smile.
It's weird.
When Simeone first heard the chairman say that there was an offer for Ding Yue, he almost didn't slap the table in the chairman's office.
Having spent time in Argentina, he knows that nowadays, a player's loyalty is at stake in money.
And the chairman of this offer......
Shaking his head, Simone said, "So, I got a promise?"
"Yes. Instructor. ”
"Okay, let's go. Rest well. We're going to do a lot next season!"
In fact, Ding Yue also wanted Simeone to ask if he had any opinions on recruitment......
But Simeone didn't ask anything.
……
……
Baiyun Airport.
Treatment......... It's different!
Someone picks you up!
Ding Yue faced more than 100 people and shouted his name loudly with banners...... I couldn't help but pause for a while.
Looking back, there was no one left, and I was the last person to get off the plane.
"Ding Yue, Ding Yue, sign me!"
"Ding Yue, you are the strongest!"
……
It took half an hour for Ding Yue to sign the names of the fans and go out of the field, but he saw a group of reporters with long guns and short guns...
finally squeezed the position to meet Ding Yue, and the reporters' questions were so sharp that Ding Yue blushed......
Feng Yuzhi watched Ding Yue being overwhelmed by the crowd not far away. The corners of his mouth could not hide a proud smile.
By the time Ding Yue got into the car, an hour had passed since he got off the plane.
"I'm going to pick up my son. It's not easy. ”
Ding Yue listened to her mother's words and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Mom, don't laugh at me." ”
"Where dare to laugh. My big star!"
Feng Yuzhi is really happy, whose son went to Tsinghua University and Peking University? Harvard Cambridge?
Oh, my son is a footballer.
Hey, Chinese football stinks, right.
My son... Where to play?
Oh, Spain.
No, it's the ...... Ding Yue!
Hey, that's a coincidence!
As soon as she thought of the people who looked down on her before when the sisters talked about their sons, Feng Yuzhi couldn't help laughing.
"Son, you're angry with my mother!"
