Lin Cheng has been fond of football since '91, but he really started watching football at the '94 World Cup, and like most Chinese fans, Lin Cheng witnessed the tragedy of Robert Baggio's century.

Since then, Lin Cheng has never let go of his love for football, as long as there is a picture of football on TV, Lin Cheng will launch the screen domination mode and firmly control the remote control.

Father Lin Furong was also brought into the pit of football by him under the influence of Lin Cheng, and watching the football game was even more popular than Lin Cheng, in the case of two-to-one, Zhu Xueqin, the mother who has always said nothing at home, also had to give way to the father and son who were crazy about football, and obediently handed over the control of the remote control.

At that time, as long as there was a football game, the father and son would watch it on time, even the National Games and youth team games.

As a native of eastern Guangdong, the father and son's favorite at that time was the Hongyuan team in eastern Guangdong, the Hongyuan team has Li Bin, Ma Mingyu, Ou Chuliang three international generals, and it is also a well-known team in the country, but in the past two years, I don't know what's going on, the results are getting worse, and this year it was relegated from the A League, and it hasn't gotten up again until it was disbanded.

As for the national football team that has always worried the Chinese people, the father and son are full of bitter water to pour, from the draw in the 80s, to this year's Golden State does not believe in tears, and even the next 02 years of pumping out of Asia, until 2017, when Lin Cheng hung up, they are still wandering in the abyss.

Fans are really heartbroken by the national football team, and there are endless jokes about the national football team on the Internet. Like what:

Shanglian: I asked how sad my country's men's football team is. Downlink: Just like a group of eunuchs going up to the Qinglou. Crosslink: No one can shoot!

Shanglian: Second, I asked how sad my country's men's football team is. Xialian: It's just like a group of maids guarding the green building. Crosslink: Always shot!

Shanglian: Three questions about how sad my country's men's football team is. Downlink: Just like a group of naughty boys going up to the green building. Crosslink: Can't shoot yet!

Shanglian: Four questions about how sad my country's men's football team is. Downlink: It's like running a hall and a handyman in the Qinglou. Side-by-side: Watch others!

……

In short, there are too many paragraphs about the national football team, and if it is compiled into a book, the estimated number of words can be compared with the millions of words of online articles in later generations.

At this time, Lin Cheng suddenly heard Huo Yingdong talking about football, he was really full of sighs, and the bitterness in his heart was about to flood out.

"Huo Lao, why did you suddenly ask me about entering the football industry? Although I also like football, I know that football is really difficult to do. Lin Cheng replied.

Huo Yingdong said excitedly: "Cheng Zai, I don't hide it from you, I have always spared no effort to support China's sports industry, in addition to the Olympic Games, I am most concerned about Chinese football, this year Chinese football is only one step away from rushing out of Asia to the world, which makes me feel very sorry!"

But now the opportunity has come, and the central government has promised me that as long as I help Beijing successfully qualify to host the 2008 Olympic Games, Zhenting will be admitted to the Chinese Football Association as the chairman of the Football Association.

I have a great deal of confidence in Beijing's bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games, and we would have been able to bid in 2000, but the two executive committee members who originally supported our country did not come to vote, and this led to our failure.

Now that we are making a comeback bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games, it will be our turn in China no matter what. As long as the bid is successful, Zhenting will enter the Chinese Football Association to preside over the football reform, and I am confident that I will bring Chinese football to the World Cup. ”

"Huo Zhenting is going to enter the Chinese Football Association as the chairman of the Football Association?" Lin Cheng was shocked, this is something that has not happened in his previous life, could it be that the butterfly wings that crossed it were instigated?

"What does Uncle Ting's appointment as the chairman of the Football Association have to do with whether or not I enter the football industry?" Lin Cheng said puzzled.

Huo Yingdong explained: "A good man needs three gangs, Zhenting is in charge of the Chinese Football Association, so he naturally needs someone below to support his football reform."

It just so happened that some time ago, the Guangdong East Hongyuan team was relegated, and the parent company of the Hongyuan Club, the Hongyuan Group, didn't want to play football, so your governor Zhu Wulin called me and asked if my company wanted to take over the Guangdong East Football Team, so I thought of you. How's that, are you interested?"

"Take over the Yuedong Hongyuan team?" Lin Cheng felt that the football club was a big hole when he heard it, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse.

From 1998 to 2009, the phenomenon of fake gambling in Chinese football became more and more serious, and it was not until the state took action to crack down on black gambling that the miasma of Chinese football was cleaned up.

In fact, even in 2017, when Lin Cheng hung up, match-fixing still existed in the soil of Chinese football.

You don't see that the two teams in the north always drop the chain at the beginning of the league, but when it comes to the last few rounds of the league, they always see who kills who is like eating a big health care.

After Lin Cheng was reborn, because he knew the results of almost all important games in football in the next twenty years, but the greatest charm of football was unknown, Lin Cheng lost the greatest pleasure of watching football at once.

After losing interest in football, Lin Cheng never thought of buying a football club to play with, and now Huo Yingdong suddenly suggested that he buy the Guangdong East Hongyuan team, which caught Lin Cheng off guard and became hesitant.

The serious phenomenon of fake gambling in Chinese football made Lin Cheng worried, but just when he wanted to veto this suggestion, he remembered the Huacheng Evergrande Club, which was very popular in Chinese football in later generations.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, football is still very interesting, for example, Xu Hengda uses the football club as an advertising business card to promote his own corporate brand, which doesn't push Boss Xu to the position of China's richest man in 2017.

Just a Huacheng Evergrande Club, how much advertising money will Evergrande Group save!

Not only that, Evergrande also pulled Chinese fans back to the football field, before Xu Evergrande entered the football circle, the Chinese Super League has long been unattended, even the national television station CCTV is reluctant to broadcast the Super League game.

But after the Huacheng Evergrande team was born, more than half of the domestic international players were recruited to the team, and then supplemented by three or four top Brazilian foreign aids, the Evergrande team's game became exciting.

The Evergrande team also went out of China and promoted Asia, in the case of the national team being repeatedly humiliated by Japan and South Korea, the Evergrande team represented the Chinese team to slaughter Japan and South Korea, and in 2013 and 2015, won the AFC Champions League twice.

Thinking of Evergrande's successful model, Lin Cheng has a bottom in his heart, Chinese football is still very interesting, although Lin Cheng has no ambition to change the general environment of Chinese football, it is completely worthwhile to use football clubs to promote corporate brands.

So Lin Cheng said to Huo Yingdong: "Okay, the Yuedong football team has been taken over by our Lin Group!"
