Chapter 997 - Take over

Although I dare not say that all the teams in the Korean K League are teams of large groups, it can be said that basically the strongest teams in the K League have a large group standing behind them, and it is precisely because of the financial support of the large group that the money is squandered, and the team's results and strength can come up.

Behind FC Seoul is GS Sports, and behind GS Sports, there is GS Collective, and it is not an exaggeration to say that FC Seoul is a team of GS Collective.

Jeonbuk Hyundai, not to mention, Hyundai Group has changed the name of the team to Jeonbuk Hyundai, and this advertisement hits the dog above board.

Of course, it's not just the Hyundai Group that is shameful, such as Suwon Samsung, who also nakedly uses the team to advertise the collective.

Ulsan Hyundai, well~~~ don't say anything, it shouldn't have anything to do with the Hyundai Group, coincidentally, well~~~ It should be.

POSCO, not to mention, Samsung and Hyundai still know at least a little shame and add a place name to the team's name, but look at POSCO, the naked company name, this advertisement is also intoxicating enough.

There is also the Busan idol that Kim Yu-bum pays attention to, and the backing is actually sponsored by IPark Construction.

Among the teams in the K League, if there is no sponsorship of a large group, it is basically impossible to get good results, and it is basically impossible for a team that feels like a strong team, and who does not have the support and sponsorship of a large group or a large company behind it.

In fact, Jin Yufan really doesn't have any ideas about the K League, even if he has an idea, it is not the K League of South Korea, if he wants to go, he should go to the Premier League in the United Kingdom, and he ~~~ Atletico Madrid will be very fierce in two years, these are the goals of Jin Yufan.

But Kim Yu-beom also thought about it carefully, and it seems that even investing in a team in South Korea's K-League is not much of a deal. It's not like Chelsea is throwing tens of millions of euros at every turn, in the South Korean K League, millions of dollars are considered sky-high, and it is still very rare, the South Korean K League has played "selling better than buying" to the fullest.

In this case, Jin Yufan estimates that it will be every year. Giving the club a million dollars or two would be enough to make the club deep in the K-League. What's more, it is not necessary to invest so much money every year, and after careful calculation, hundreds of thousands of dollars in the Korean K-League are relatively large transfers, and millions of dollars are heavyweight transfers.

Combined with player salaries, club staff salaries, and various expenses, it is almost a few million dollars a year. What's more. These don't need Jin Yufan to go out alone, the club also has games, and there is also income from tickets and sponsors.

Considering that the investment is not large, and at the same time having a regular professional team is also very face-saving, and at the same time, you can also play with Samsung Group and Hyundai Group, and more importantly, football is very popular in South Korea, after the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, it officially surpassed baseball to become the number one sport in South Korea.

has always belonged to its own K-League team. In the future, it doesn't matter if it's advertising or what to do. It's all very good, and it's also very favorable.

After all, behind every team represents a huge fan base, once Jin Yufan controls a team, the government will move itself in the future, and as long as he uses a little effort, he can make countless fans have strong dissatisfaction with the government.

Otherwise. You really think that the giants of Samsung Group and Hyundai Group have nothing to do to invest in football, really just because they like football. To put it bluntly, it is still through the charm of football and the influence of the club to escort itself, so that the government does not dare to move itself lightly. The second is to simply like football and use football to advertise for their company.

And now, there are only Busan idols who have the strength, the conditions, and the clubs that can be won. The reason is very simple, that is, I-Park construction has recently had financial problems, and the investment in I-Park construction has not been able to achieve good results and returns, and I feel that the investment is too large and the recovery is small, and it is not very cost-effective, so I planned to get rid of the burden of Busan Idol Club several years ago.

If it weren't for the persuasion and request of the Busan government, it is estimated that I-Park Construction would have kicked the Busan idol away and would not have played with the K-League.

Don't be surprised, although football is the number one sport in South Korea, there are only a dozen or so clubs in the K-League that are truly professional. What's more, many teams have been established for a short time, and the short knife makes people speechless.

Incheon United was established in 2003, Gyeongnam FC in 2005, and Gangwon FC in 2008. Nima even has Gwangju FC, which was only established in 2010 and has not yet joined the K-League, and is still in the process of applying, and will officially join the K-League in 2011.

It can be seen from the names of the K-League teams that they are either advertising teams supported by large groups, rich and powerful. If you don't have money and no strength, it's a weak team, especially if the team name has FC, and there is no support, basically it is formed by the local government, in response to the slogan of supporting the K League.

It can be seen that although South Korea won a historic good result in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup in a unique way in South Korea, making football surpass baseball and become the number one sport in South Korea, it was only for fans, and it was really hard for the club.

Even many large groups and chaebols are reluctant to invest in K-League football clubs in the end, because they pay more and gain less, and they really don't think it's worth it.

For example, the teams supported by Kookmin Bank and Hanhui Bank eventually withdrew from the K-League.

This is also the case with the current construction of I-Park, which regards the Busan Idol Club as a burden and wants to throw it away, and is actively looking for a buyer. After persuading and persuading the Busan government, the Busan government reported the fact that I-Park was ready to abandon the Busan Idol Club to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and asked the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to find a way.

As far as the Busan government is concerned, it is natural to hope that the Busan Idol Club will not be disbanded, after all, there is such a team representing Busan, which not only responds to the slogan of the South Korean government's strong support for the K-League, but also allows Busan citizens to watch football matches. Having a supporting team enriches the lives of the citizens of Busan.

In the face of this incident, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism certainly did not dare to slack off, and then contacted I-Park Construction, and after determining that I-Park Construction was determined to lose the Busan Idol Club, there was no way. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism can only start to find a way to find a buyer for the I-Park construction.

Otherwise, if I-Park Construction announced that it would not do it that day, the blow and impact on the Busan Idol Club would be fatal, not only would they not be eligible to continue to participate in the K-League, but the team would be disbanded directly at that time, which is absolutely not allowed by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

In order to vigorously support the development of the K-League, even the government has asked the governments of each city to form a team to participate in the K-League to make up for the vacancy of too few teams in the K-League. Originally, the league team was poor, the I-Park construction was not done, and the Busan Idol Club could not participate in the K-League, or even disappeared in the future, which is definitely a heavy blow to the development of the K-League.

Even if it is a weak team, there are too few teams participating in the current K League, and it can achieve the effect of making up the number, which is very important for the development of the K League. Not to mention a team like Busan Idol Club, which has also won a lot of honors.

Don't say anything else. The fact that Busan Idol Club was the first team in South Korea to win the AFC Champions League was enough for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Busan government to find a way to keep the team from being disbanded, although that was in 1986, but it was significant.

Because of this, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has also begun to actively look for ways to find people who can accept the Busan Idol Club. Among the final candidates, there is the name of Jin Yufan.

Regarding this point, the selected person made it very clear that first of all, Kim Yu-beom has enough financial resources to maintain the survival of the Busan Idol Club, and Kim Yu-beom is also a native of Busan. And supporting orphanages and various charitable causes in Busan, this qiē will make Kim Yu-beom recognized by the citizens of Busan, and can make Kim Yu-beom soon-on-lì accept the Busan Idol Club.

Among the final five candidates, Kim Woo-beom accepted the Busan Idol Club, which can be said to be the most suitable and the least resistant among the Busan Idol Club fan base.

Because of this, Choi Kwang-sik found Kim Yu-fan and told him about it, so that Kim Yu-fan's football soul burned again, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and Kim Yu-fan wants to have a team that has always belonged to him.

After being silent for a while, Kim Yu-beom finally made up his mind to win the Busan Idol Football Club, not to mention how much having a team will help Kim Yu-beom's personal status and influence in South Korea, even if it is to prepare for and accumulate experience in the future to enter the top European football clubs, the most unfortunate thing is to fulfill a football dream of his own.

Thinking of this, Kim Woo-beom made a call and made a call to Choi Kwang-sik: "I am willing to accept Busan Idol Football Club, and I am also willing to make my own contribution to the development of the team and the K League." But my request is very simple, that is, I hope that Minister Choi can help me solve this matter, and I only have money and wait to accept the club, because I don't have time to negotiate. At the same time, I hope this price can make me accept, I tell you the truth, I'm not very sure yet, it's just not good to sweep your face Minister Cui, but there is only one chance, if the other party asks for too much, then I'm sorry, I won't play with you. ”

Cui Guangzhi on the other side of the phone was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Okay, don't worry, as long as you are willing to take over, as for other things, I will naturally help you solve it, I promise to solve this matter as soon as possible, and I don't believe it, the other party dares to open his mouth, you just wait for my news." ”

Kim Woo-beom is willing to accept the Busan Idol Club, which is definitely a good thing for Choi Kwang-sik, because the K League has very few teams, and if it loses Busan Idol Club again, it is still the first team in South Korea to win the AFC Champions League, which will undoubtedly hit and affect the K League.

There are many people in South Korea who can afford to accept Busan idol clubs, but for the current big groups and chaebols investing in K-League clubs, they are all for advertising, and the naked team advertising name is the best way to promote it, which also makes the K-League very embarrassing.

Football is just football and does not contain any other factors, but in the K-League, the team that contains other factors has money and strength, and the team that does not contain other factors has no money. The strength is also weak and pitiful.

Choi Kwang-sik, as the minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, of course, has to find a way to solve this matter, and does not allow large groups and big chaebols to enter the K-League, which is the most basic requirement, in fact, not to mention Choi Kwang-sik, even if it is Zheng Dongcai who did it before.

There is no sponsorship and support from large groups and big chaebols. Maybe it will have a big impact on the K-League, but it can't be helped, if the K-League wants to become a truly more professional league, this impact and pain must be endured.

The goal of the K League is the top five leagues in Europe, and if you look at the top five leagues in Europe, basically there are those teams that are named after the sponsorship, basically after the name of the place, or maybe for historical reasons, which at least makes it clear to everyone at a glance. It won't be like the K-League, where you can see the collectives and companies behind it at a glance.

Teams like FC Seoul, Jeonbuk Hyundai and Suwon Samsung can't change their names now, so what the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism can do is to stop those big groups and chaebols who want to enter the K-League for advertising from this moment.

At the moment, there are a few advertising teams in the K-League that are saturated. As for the others, don't focus on the K-League.

And the Busan Idol Club is ready to give up the Busan Idol Club. This is definitely a big deal for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, after all, Busan Idol Club is not a small team, and once it is disbanded and disappears into the K-League, it will have a great impact on the K-League.

Otherwise, why would the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism be actively looking for a replacement for the Busan Idol Club? After a series of choices, in terms of no advertising, identity, acceptance, and financial resources, among the final five, Kim Yu-beom was the most suitable to take over the Busan Idol Club.

First of all, Jin Yufan plays an entertainment company. It's not enough to put the MC's advertisement in the Busan Idol Club, otherwise it will become something and become the Busan MC, or the MC Busan.

If you really do this, it is estimated that the fans will be the first to disagree, and it is okay to joke that you can sponsor, but a small entertainment industry agency dares to change the name of the team, this is not an act of looking for death.

As for Kim Yu-beom's other industries, although the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is not particularly clear, it also knows that it is not very suitable to change the name of the team. At the very least, although there are a lot of industries owned by Jin Yufan, they are basically very scattered, and they are not grouped together to form a collective or company, because there is no need to worry about changing the name.

Identity is also a very important point, look at the five major European leagues, many clubs have really changed their owners, and if the new owners do not have a very good, very suitable, and acceptable identity to the fans, they will naturally be rejected and opposed by the fans frantically.

Even if Abu went to Chelsea with a lot of money, he was frantically opposed and rejected by Chelsea fans at the beginning, and even regarded Abu as an enemy. It wasn't until Chelsea relied on Abu's money to buy stars like crazy, their strength increased greatly, their results rose, and they won one honor after another, that fans began to gradually accept Abu.

If Kim Yu-beom is a native of Seoul, then it is impossible to accept the Busan Idol Club, and it is estimated that even if the Busan City Government and fans accept it and work hard to maintain the team, they are absolutely unwilling to hand over the team to a rich man in Seoul.

As for why, I'm sorry, then it has to be said from the north-south relationship between Seoul and Busan, in short, it is not possible to say it clearly in a few words, in other words, taking the K League as an example, Suwon Samsung and Jeonbuk Hyundai are derbies between the two groups, and FC Seoul and Busan idols should be regarded as a derby between two cities, and even because of the geographical environment and historical reasons of the two cities of Seoul and Busan, the current first and second status in South Korea, it is okay to say a national derby.

Then there's the receptivity, the new club has to have a good identity and image, so that the fans of the team can accept the new owner. If Kim Woo-bum is famous in Busan and just does all kinds of evil, it is estimated that the entire Busan idol fans, even the citizens of Busan who don't care about football, will refuse and oppose Kim Woo-bum taking over the Busan Idol Club.

Fortunately, Kim Yu-beom's image in Busan is very good, and it can even be said that his influence is very large. Because Kim Yu-beom's image is very good, he has been carrying out charity activities in Busan since he was able to do so since his debut, which was announced by the media, which also gave Kim Yu-bum a very good image in the impression of Busan citizens.

In addition, Kim Yu-beom is now in a state of super-god in the Korean entertainment industry, and has entered Hollywood and achieved unimaginable results. Therefore, as a native of Busan, Kim Woo-beom has naturally become a hero and pride of all the citizens of Busan.

With this identity, Kim Yu-beom will take over the Busan Idol Club, and the resistance will be very small, at least the Busan City Government and fans are unlikely to refuse Kim Yu-beom to take over the team.

Finally, there are financial considerations, and Choi Kwang-sik naturally doesn't want to find someone willing to take over for the Busan idol with great difficulty, but it didn't take long for Kim Yu-beom to give up the team because of financial problems, and then wouldn't he have to find a home for the team.

Therefore, financial resources are also a very important reason. In terms of financial resources, although the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has not yet fully investigated how much Kim Yufan has, at least from the results of the investigation so far, Kim Yufan has enough financial resources to maintain the survival and operation of the Busan Idol Club, and even as long as Kim Yufan is willing, he can spend money crazy and make the Busan Idol Club one of the top teams in the K League.
