Chapter 1476 - Friendship First, Competition Second
Lin Feng released a set of data. This set of data is the cost of the four warm-up matches of the Chinese men's football team in 2003.
The national football team has visited four times to play warm-up matches, and spent 2.32 million yuan on air tickets, accommodation, food, player subsidies and daily expenses.
paid round-trip air tickets and huge subsidies of 120,000 yuan for Yang Chen and Sun Jihai, two returnee players.
The coaching team led by Ali Han paid 1.3 million US dollars, or 9.1 million yuan.
During the training camp of the players, including the staff, a total of 36 people, each person spent 400 yuan per day for food and 280 yuan for accommodation. For a total of 62 days, the total expenditure was more than 1.5 million yuan.
The relevant and unrelated staff of the Football Association (15 people) were treated the same as the national football team during the warm-up match of the national football team, spending a total of 720,000 yuan.
The three away games cost a total of RMB 110,000 (transportation costs).
When the data was released, there was a national uproar. For a long time, the Football Association has always been shouting poverty, always shouting poverty, it turns out to be such a poor method. You said that it is understandable that the national football team spent 2.32 million yuan, the subsidies for returnee players can also be understood, Ali Han's coaching team can also be understood, and the expenses of the players during the training camp are even more understandable, but why should the relevant and unrelated staff of the Football Association be treated the same as the national football team during the warm-up match?
You say that the national football team, the warm-up is naturally to play games, but why do these related, irrelevant and irrelevant staff go to do so much? And spend 720,000 yuan, isn't this a typical waste? Dare to be affectionate, you related and unrelated staff regard the warm-up game as a tourist festival
All of a sudden, the Football Association suddenly became the finger of thousands of people. All the invective was directed at the Football Association.
This is a slander, a naked slander - the relevant leaders of the Football Association immediately issued the strongest protest, claiming that this data is absolutely apocryphal, and ordered Lin Feng to daoqian. and claimed that if Lin Feng did not daoqian, Lin Feng would be held legally responsible.
Lin Feng didn't say anything about the protest of the Football Association, and directly published all the consumer bills for the four national football warm-up matches on the Internet, which added up to the number announced by Lin Feng. And these bills were all collected by Lin Feng from the hotel where the national football team stayed last year and the flights they took, and they all had the signatures of the relevant leaders of the Football Association.
Dumbfounded, the Football Association was speechless. Originally, the four warm-up games last year were well known, as for the hotel and the flight they took, all the reporters were very clear, and fans with a slightly better memory could also remember the hotel where the national football team once stayed. The date and amount on these notes are all too clear.
Uh, this, this, when a team goes out, there must always be relevant staff to arrange accommodation, contact buses, buy air tickets, book hotels, and other trivial things need to be done. And these naturally can't be distracted by the national football team, and the staff of the Football Association are responsible. Therefore, spending 720,000 yuan is not much, which is a very normal expense. - Yan Shiduo stammered a little to explain.
He didn't know where Lin Feng got so many bills, it's been almost a year, shouldn't it have been destroyed a long time ago, why was it still brought by Lin Feng, and it was so detailed. - Seeing those bills, Yan Shiduo had a headache, not to mention how much he hated Lin Feng in his heart.
You talk about it, originally you sponsored the national football team, contributed a little money (relative to Lin Feng's assets), everyone cheered each other on, you let the Football Association have money to spend, and the Football Association made your Tottenham Hotspur the most famous foreign football club in China, which is a matter of mutual benefit. As a result, Lin Feng was reluctant to even make this little money, and Zuihou was still like this.
Chairman Yan Shiduo was quite angry and indignant at Lin Feng's ignorance of current affairs. But now it's like this, and if it continues, it won't be able to end. Of course, Yan Shiduo is also afraid that Lin Feng will continue to raise the old bottom of the Football Association, and the Football Association will not be able to step down at that time. What do you think, Lin Feng can even get tickets for last year's national football team to go out to play warm-up games, and this magic power is too big. And there are a lot of things that the Football Association can't see behind their backs. What's more, after consulting his superiors, the superiors asked him to calm down the matter as soon as possible and deal with it in a low-key manner. …,
"Xiao Lin, it seems that there was a bit of a misunderstanding between us in the previous matter. I think so, the game is about to start, why don't you come to Beijing and talk face-to-face. In desperation, Yan Shiduo took the initiative to call Lin Feng, intending to make peace.
Lin Feng nodded. Since the other party is willing to give in, then there is no need to blindly insist. If you continue to make trouble, you will only lose both.
Soon, Lin Feng took his special plane and all the players of Tottenham Hotspur to Beijing collectively to prepare for the friendly match with the national football team five days later. In the afternoon of the same day, Yan Shiduo and other leaders of the Football Association personally gave Lin Feng a pick-up. Although the Football Association is very arrogant and arrogant, in the face of Lin Feng, a person who is a bit "muddy", they can no longer play the prestige of leadership.
"Xiaolin, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Nan Yong, chairman of the Chinese Super League, and this is Yang Yimin, director of the Football Sports Management Center. Yan Shiduo introduced the two important managers of the Football Association who accompanied him.
Lin Feng is no stranger to these two people. Especially this Yang Yimin, Lin Feng has seen it on "Football Night" and other columns. When the domestic league was questioning match-fixing and the black whistle turmoil, it was this Yang Yimin who said frankly that the domestic league was absolutely clean, and there was absolutely no match-fixing and black whistle. But what about the truth? Lin Feng was dismissive.
Lin Feng nodded at the three of them, maintaining basic etiquette. From the bottom of his heart, Lin Feng is not a bird to these people at all. Just these few people in front of them, tossing the black smoke miasma of domestic football, treating fans as everything in their hands, wantonly trampling on the fist and football heart of the majority of fans.
After a while, I sat down and started drinking. However, obviously, for Lin Feng's drinking, Yan Shiduo and others were like thunder. Earlier in Changchun, all the cadres of Lin Feng drank and fled, this time in the "Legend Theme Park", Lin Feng drank 72,000 players by himself, Lin Feng's prestige of "Bacchus", that is Megatron Huaxia. Today's meal, Yan Shiduo naturally did not go into battle in person, and found more than 10 cadres in the Football Association to accompany him, and he was bound to accompany Lin Feng.
But obviously, Lin Feng didn't have any intention of drinking today, and he stopped drinking after three glasses and two glasses. After all, it depends on the person who drinks it. Lin Feng is not like anyone can drink it. As far as these people from the Football Association are concerned, Lin Feng is unappetizing when he sees it, and he can be exempted from drinking alcohol. Yan Shiduo looked at it and frowned slightly. You must know that in the past, when these high-ranking officials invited those CEOs to dinner, they were polite and flattering.
And today, they flattered Lin Feng with a face, but Lin Feng ignored it, which was really a slap in the face. But think about the above said that this matter should be handled as low-key as possible, so as not to cause a bigger storm. Therefore, Yan Shiduo turned a blind eye to Lin Feng's disdainful attitude.
"Kobayashi, regarding this game, in line with the purpose of not disappointing the fans, I want to pay your team's appearance fee at the normal market price. As for setting up a football school, we have set it up as well, but I hope the Football Association can play a key role in that to be able to find talented footballers in the country, because Tottenham Hotspur are in England and you can't put all your attention on football. Yan Shiduo made concessions at the beginning. But obviously, his demands are not low. Want to occupy a key position in this training school.
Lin Feng frowned. Since Lin Feng plans to set up this football school, he is to discover talented football players in China, then select the best to admit them, and then send them abroad for thorough Western-style football education, so as to build a solid foundation for the future of Chinese football. But if the Football Association is in power, hum, let alone discovering Chinese football talents, I am afraid that this football school will become a money-making machine for the Football Association. I think about it, staring at the title of Tottenham Hotspur, I don't know how many parents in the country will send their children to school, and how much money will be made in it. …,
Lin Feng decisively rejected this request.
Yan Shiduo frowned, this football school must be in the hands of the Football Association, otherwise if various talented players are cultivated in the future, it has nothing to do with the Football Association, which will not work. However, Lin Feng's attitude was so resolute that Yan Shiduo couldn't continue.
"Mr. Lin, I'll talk about this later. Regarding the sponsorship, I hope that Mr. Lin can take into account the actual situation of the Chinese national football team and be generous. Especially this year is the first year of the Chinese Super League, but due to the influence of various factors, its market response is not ideal, the future of Chinese football, especially need people of insight like Mr. Lin to be generous. Therefore, I hope that Mr. Lin will agree to our contract and come to the rescue when Chinese football is in crisis. Of course, in return for Mr. Lin's generosity, the naming rights of the Chinese Super League next year and related commercial advertisements will belong to Mr. Lin. Nam Yong took over the topic.
Seeing Nan Yong speak, Yan Shiduo stopped talking. For Nam Yong, he completely believes it. You must know that since he served as the vice president of the Football Association, he has experienced many crises, such as the national security strike, the G7 League, etc., and these crises were all helped by Nan Yong. Yan Shiduo fully believes in Nan Yong's crisis handling ability.
Seeing that Lin Feng was silent, Nan Yong thought about it and continued to speak.
"Mr. Lin, as for the financial statements, we can release them to the public once a quarter, but you must know that there are some things that are confidential and cannot be released to the public. This requires your understanding. Nam Yong said.
Lin Feng nodded. Lin Feng asked so much before, and it was purely an awkward quarrel with the Football Association, but now that the Football Association is willing to give in, he will also make concessions. As for the annual investment of 20 million US dollars, although a large part of it may still be digested by the Football Association, it is not bad to be able to give yourself naming rights and advertising contracts. What's more, it's not so simple for them to swallow their own money.
"OK, since most of us are on the same page, it's easy to communicate about the details. I don't think it's as good as this football school, I'll talk about it after this game, Mr. Lin, what do you think?" Nan Yong said with a smile.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and nodded. There's a lot at stake in this soccer school. If there is a Football Association to match the bridge, for all parents, it is absolutely reassuring. After all, the Football Association is still a national administrative department in the hearts of most families, and it can be trusted. On the contrary, if you leave aside the Football Association, it is not unbelieving, but the credibility is worse. What's more, this football school really wants to be successful, and there are too many details. Therefore, it is also extremely appropriate for the two sides to talk after this friendly match.
Hu Nanyong breathed a sigh of relief. Basically, the overall cooperation between the two sides is finalized, and there are only some small details left. Originally, the Football Association has always been strong, even in the face of the G7 League, Nan Yong will never be soft, and finally let the once extremely arrogant "G7 League" collapse. However, in the face of Lin Feng, Nan Yong was really ruthless. If you really want to be ruthless, Lin Feng is even more afraid. What are people afraid of, it's a big deal, it's a big deal that Lin Feng won't touch Chinese football again, his Tottenham Hotspur can still show off his power in the Premier League, but the Football Association is sad. So many leaders above are watching.
After another burst of glasses, under Yan Shiduo's signal, Nan Yong once again made an extremely excessive request.
"Mr. Lin, about this friendly match, in order not to put too much pressure on the national football team and make it lose confidence, I hope that in this game, Tottenham Hotspur can play a little more friendly. Friendship first, competition second, don't hurt the harmony. What's more, the players of your team are all here for vacation, and if both sides are too serious, they will lose the meaning of the friendly match itself. Nam Yong said with a smile.
Lin Feng was stunned when he heard this. I didn't react for a while, and I didn't know what Nan Yong wanted to say, but when Lin Feng reacted, he suddenly understood. The Football Association is hoping that Tottenham Hotspur can put some water, saying that friendship is the first and the game is second, and the white point is match-fixing. …,
"Mr. Lin, you should understand what the level of the national football team is, if the two sides really fight with real guns, and the zuihou national football team loses too much, it will be boring. I don't think Mr. Lin wants the national football team to be so embarrassed," Nan Yong said helplessly.
Lin Feng snorted coldly in his heart. It turns out that the so-called "undefeated workers" was created in this way. No wonder the national football team plays so vigorously every warm-up game, but when it comes to the main game, it changes, and the mystery is here.
"Mr. Lin, do you think it's right?" Nan Yong said.
Lin Feng nodded.
"Yes, in line with the principle of not letting the ugliness of the family be publicized, I agree with Mr. Nan's suggestion. Lin Feng agreed.
Hu Yan Shiduo, Nan Yong, and Yang Yimin breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Lin Feng would refuse. Once you refuse, it will be troublesome, and if you want to fight with real guns, you don't know how much the national football team will lose. Once they lose too much and create a shameful record, then their leaders can't explain it to the above. When the time comes, they will be nailed to one for the rest of their lives - the stain that once set the record for the largest loss of the national football team during their tenure. That's not what they want.
"Then we'll see you then," Lin Feng smiled and got up to leave. But between leaving, there was a cold mockery between the corners of his mouth.
