Chapter 972: Thoughts

The Camp Nou is a huge man with 99,000 seats, and the atmosphere at home is spectacular.

However, there are gains and losses, and the ordinary seats are arranged too much, and the position left for the VIP box is not very good. Above the box is the third layer of stands, the light blocking effect is excellent, it is difficult to see the whole field when sitting inside, so you can only turn to TV commentary, not so much watching the game on the spot, but entering a football bar with its own ambient sound.

Of course, in the eyes of the local tyrant bosses who have owned the box for a long time, the vision and atmosphere are not important, what they want is just a football-themed meeting place, as long as there is air conditioning, drinks, sofas, soundproofing and can talk and chat.

In the box where Atletico and Al Thani are located, the commentator is dutifully interpreting the game on TV, introducing the players, guessing intentions, predicting success or failure, interspersed with jokes that adjust the atmosphere, and do everything they can to keep the scene from being too dull. However, his efforts did not impress Atletico, as the two club presidents sat comfortably on the sofa and chattered, not paying much attention to what was on TV.

The pace of attack and defense in football games is relatively slow, and it is naturally not easy to arouse people's interest in the midfield.

And the most important thing is that these two people are not here.

According to Atletico Madrid's thinking, Al Thani should have come to him to make some acquisition scandals, just like before. And he happens to have some time, and he doesn't mind doing this favor, as long as he appears in the box of the president of Malaga, he will naturally be noticed by the media and fans, and he doesn't need to worry about the rest of the things. So after completing the "appearance" task, he showed his intentions and planned to return to the hotel to prepare for the evening press conference, and was about to find an opportunity to speak, but the exclamation from the window made him temporarily put away his thoughts.

The TV footage showed MΓ‘laga on a quick counter-attack, with a long pass from the back finding the team's top scorer, Sandro Ramirez, who calmly pushed the ball into the door of his former club in the face of the goalkeeper.

The 95-year-old Sandro was born at La Masia's film and television academy and was criticised for his performances in the talent-rich Barcelona first team, and was sold to the underdog Malaga last summer. Now, he has proved himself in an alternative way at Camp Nou, and he got a little carried away for a while and raised his hand happily in celebration.

Naturally, the home fans will not let the former abandoners be complacent, and the stadium soon resounded with continuous boos. The voices of 90,000 people converged into the whistling wind, which penetrated through the glass of the box and into Atletico Madrid's ears, but there was a hint of strong outside and dry in the middle.

Also on the outside are the Barcelona players, who seem to have been drained of their energy and power by the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie in midweek, and although they firmly dominated the field, they were never able to convert possession into shots and goals.

People in the circle often say that football is round, and anything can happen on the playing field. It doesn't mean that if you are high in value and strong in strength, you will definitely be able to win, the weak team often stages a counterattack in order to relegate the rankings, but the strong team often overturns in the gutter because of the decline in state, the preservation of strength, and the carelessness of the enemy.

Although he knew this in his heart, when such a scene really appeared in front of him, Atletico Madrid couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Quickly putting away his surprise, he turned his head to look at the other side, and exclaimed: "Chairman Althani, I have to say, you have really earned it!"

The Arab aristocrat in a handmade suit bowed his head triumphantly, "Of course, we knew about it last year." ”

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Atletico with sincerity and asked, "Are you tempted to see the performance of the boys?"

The money of the Middle East tycoons is not blown by the wind, everything is easy to say when the oil price is high, and the most important chest advertising space of the team, Malaga is willing to hand over to UNESCO (UNESCO) for five years, and do not pay back the cost of the penny, showing the rich and capricious nature of the oil team. But when the oil price plummeted last year, they also had to start the money-saving mode and change the main sponsor, and now the team jersey is printed with "BeeGame".

It was this partnership that led to a connection between Atletico and Malaga, and now Al Thani wants to deepen that connection.

After the bankruptcy of the new stadium plan, he had the idea of selling the club, but he never found a suitable receiver, and the matter has been dragged on until now. In his opinion, the clubs of the five major leagues and well-known wineries are the same thing, the same number is scarce, the fame is huge, although it is not very profitable, it is an excellent social tool, and the requirements for the identity of the buyer and the timing of the transaction are very high, and it is not possible to simply care about the gains and losses like the disposal of ordinary assets.

Compared with the previous groups of interested buyers, Atletico Madrid has a richer net worth and a higher reputation, but he is the least likely to make a move. It's no secret that someone likes to "develop" a hobby from scratch, and anyone who cares will know it with a little attention.

Sure enough, Atletico quickly smiled and shook their heads, politely declining the offer in Arabic: "Their performance is really good. However, not everything good needs to be bought. That's fine now, isn't it?"

You're a local tyrant in the Middle East, hey! The football club and the local tyrant are the best match!

He didn't say it, but he was sure that the person on the other side would understand.

No one is stupid, of course Al Thani understood what Atletico meant, sat up a little straighter, and threw out his plan, "Chairman Ma, let's cooperate!"

"Huh?" Atletico raised his eyebrows slightly, motioning for the other to continue.

Al Thani opened his big mouth full of stubble and introduced it with gusto.

He said a lot, and it can be summed up in one word: borrowing chickens to lay eggs. This person suggested that the Egret Island Bees and Malaga establish an in-depth cooperative relationship, share the youth training base and scouting network, and the outstanding players of the Egret Island Bees can come to Malaga for further study and receive orthodox Western-style youth training, and they can also send sub-echelon teams to Asia for training and competition, and by the way, promote and achieve a win-win situation.

Of course, the use of other people's youth training and scouting by Egret Island Bees is naturally not free. Doing so is tantamount to passing on a large part of the club's maintenance costs, and it is really a good calculation.

Atletico Madrid's face has not changed, but he is complaining frantically in his heart: after saying so much, it can be summed up in three words - give money, give money, give money. Dear, are you still a local tyrant in the Middle East?

Of course, everyone is a decent person, and it is easy not to do such a hurtful thing to debunk in person. Atletico Madrid smiled and listened to the other party's full set of words, then Shi Shiran opened his mouth and asked, "It's all very interesting projects, but what can we get?"

"Of course there are more and better players and Malaga will be the best springboard for you to face Europe. ”

Atletico shook their heads, "My team is still very weak, and this year will only play in the second division for the first time, and it is too early for it to make a name for itself in Europe." ”

"But," he added, as he said, "of course there is no problem with cooperation. However, the Bees don't train like any other team, and if we get a deal, we'll need to revamp the Football Academy and Rose Garden to add support for AR/VR systems. ”

The Bees' virtual training method is also famous, and Al Thani is not ignorant of it, but he just frowned and asked, "Is the rose garden going to be renovated too?"

"It's optional. However, I highly recommend the transformation together. ”

Atletico nodded in affirmation, pointed to the box TV, and said: "If our virtualization solution is adopted, the box experience in the Rose Garden will be much enhanced, and the viewing experience of the webcast will also be significantly improved, thereby alleviating the restrictions on the club due to the lack of seats in the stadium." ”

The club's home stadium, La Rosaleda (formerly the Rose Field), was built in the 40s and even after several expansions, the number of seats was still low. Al Thani took over with the intention of building a brand new stadium and developing the surrounding properties, but the partnership eventually broke down and the team had to settle for the original one.

Despite the transfer fee and peripheral development, ticket sales are still the main recurring income of the club, the more seats there are, the higher the income ceiling, and the stadium is also a core hub for creating a home culture and connecting with fans, which is quite important, and there are not one or two clubs like Arsenal who do not hesitate to borrow money to build the Emirates Stadium.

Naturally, no one dislikes too much money, Al Thani's eyes lit up, and he carefully inquired about the relevant details, and then nodded and turned the topic to the youth training, "I have also heard of your virtual youth training, but is this really possible?"

"It may be a problem of adaptation," Atletico nodded, "so my suggestion is that our two clubs work together to improve the system. Even under the current rules, this system may not do much to improve performance, but it is a good thing to attract fans and young players, isn't it?"

"That's right!"

Understanding his intentions, the president of MΓ‘laga agreed after a little reflection and agreed to introduce virtual training at the academy and rose garden. Anyway, it's the bee mirage that pays for it, and if it doesn't work, it's not your side that suffers.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Atletico smiled and stretched out his hand, and after shaking hands, the two of them were happily touched when they raised it again, obviously satisfied with the result. The exact content of the agreement will need to be discussed by professionals on both sides, who just need to wait for the final text and sign it.

The cooperation was reached, and both of them put down a concern and had the kung fu to pay attention to the outside game.

With the half-time break behind and the battle reigniting, Barcelona seemed to be lacking a bit of luck and were still down by a goal until now.

Looking at the battle situation on the screen and the remaining time, Atletico stood up with a smile, "It seems that the victory is decided, and there is no need to watch the next games." ”

Al Thani also stood up and asked politely, "Why are you leaving?"

Atletico explained: "We have a pre-show press conference in the evening and I need to go back and prepare for it now. ”

The streets of Barcelona are full of mobile phone advertisements, and of course Al Thani will not be unaware of the news that Bazhan is coming, and smiled when he heard this, "Then I will not keep you, may Allah bless you with a complete success of your press conference." ”

"Thank you!" Atletico thanked him and left the box.

"Please wait a minute!" the other party suddenly spoke.

Turning his head to look at the man, Atletico had just the right amount of curiosity and doubt on his face.

Al Thani asked, "After tonight, you'll be recycling those three concepts, right?"

Atletico nodded in acknowledgement, "Yes, the warm-up has been completed and there will be a recycling ceremony later as planned." ”

"That's good, I'm interested in them. After the recycling is complete, please sell me a set!"

"No problem," Atletico readily agreed, and the needs of the local tyrants were worth satisfying.

"Still," he decides to tell the truth, "these three devices are still concept products, and the experience may not be successful with ordinary devices." ”

"It's okay!" said the other party indifferently, "Of course, it would be better if I could customize the shell and interface." ”

"It's only natural that we also offer a custom service with gold and diamonds that are guaranteed to keep you satisfied. ”

Bee has prepared many selling points for this year's new products, among which the most eye-catching is naturally the "energy-saving mode butterfly screen".

The energy-saving mode can reduce the power consumption of the display by 40%-95%, and together with the advanced processor with lower power consumption, it can greatly improve the battery life of mobile devices. At the same time, lower-power screens can greatly reduce the dependence on power cables and batteries, and also allow for unique designs such as wireless displays, which Bee Electronics has launched as a three-piece concept of the "Wireless Series".

The set includes a mobile phone with a bracelet and screen, a tablet with a large stylus and screen, and a laptop with a screen that can be removed, all of which look eye-catching.

The series was also exposed in a bizarre way, with the wireless concept notebook BBQ being taken to the Davos forum by Atletico Madrid, and the other two concept machines being packed into 20 bulletproof display cases on the streets of Barcelona to verify the device's endurance and intelligent voice interface in public.

Before Atletico's arrival, the cabinets had been sitting on the streets for four days, earning countless eyeballs for the bees. Tonight, they will be collected and taken to the press conference site for close observation and inspection by the media of various countries.

Walking to the door of the box, Atletico looked at Guo Luojun, who was unresponsive, and patted him on the shoulder speechlessly, "Don't look at it!

"Ahh

Speaking of which, he was also unlucky and sad, saying that he would watch the game together, but when he arrived at the place, he found that the box at Camp Nou was particularly crumbling, and Atletico Madrid still had TV to watch, but Xiao Guo could only sit near the door, staring at the local tyrant's personal bodyguard. When he was tired, he remembered that he could still watch the game on his mobile phone, and with the help of the translation assistant, he finally found a available live video address.

Paid to open it, and it didn't take long to see it, and the negotiations on Atletico's side had ended, so I had to put away my phone and go back to see it again.
