Chapter 392: Otto the Great

In the low muttering of other leaders and staff of the Football Association, Xiao Yingyi, the full-time vice chairman of the Football Association, also frowned deeply.

7-year contract? The Football Association cannot interfere with the national team?

Zhang Huasong's request is indeed outrageous.

If he can't even control the national team, where is the majesty of the Football Association?

However, the Football Association, which has been in a desperate situation, really cannot refuse Zhang Huasong's 1.5 billion yuan strategic cooperation proposal.

The amount of information is too large, and Xiao Yingyi can't make a decision for a while.

Moreover, involving such a large amount of astronomical strategic cooperation, the Football Association can't even make the decision, and must report to the General Administration of Sports.

Therefore, the negotiations are temporarily suspended, and it is necessary to wait for the Football Association to report to the General Administration of Sports and obtain instructions from the General Administration of Sports before negotiating at a later date.

Zhang Huasong led his team to leave the Football Association, and Xiao Yingyi and others rushed to the General Administration of Sports to report to the relevant leaders.

Although Zhang Huasong and the Football Association suspended the negotiations, the speculation from the outside world has not stopped.

Now Zhang Huasong's popularity is too high in China, no matter what happens, as long as the media reports it, readers will be interested, not to mention that it is still related to football.

On the second day after Zhang Huasong and the Football Association suspended negotiations, some media broke the news that Zhang Huasong was ready to invest 1.5 billion yuan to reach a strategic cooperation with the Huaguo Football Association.

"The Best in the History of Chinese Sports: 1.5 Billion Strategic Cooperation!"

"Astronomical: Zhang Huasong is ready to invest 1.5 billion to reach a strategic cooperation with the Chinese Football Association!"

"1.5 billion sponsorship of the Chinese Football Association, Zhang Huasong's earth-shattering generosity!"

"Take out 1.5 billion casually, how much money does Zhang Huasong have?"

Previously, everyone's attention to Zhang Huasong was basically focused on his sports achievements and music achievements, and everyone discussed his Australian Open Grand Slam, Laureus Sports Awards, Grammy Music Awards and so on.

As a result, this time, the news that Zhang Huasong broke completely shocked the people of the whole country. Even ordinary people who don't usually care about sports and music were shaken a lot.

1.5 billion? Is this money that a sports athlete can come up with? It's too exaggerated, too scary, isn't it?

At first, netizens expressed disbelief, thinking that the media must have fabricated fake news.

However, as more and more media reported on it, and some media broke out Zhang Huasong's various incomes and the game income of Feixun Company under his name, everyone believed it.

Not to mention 1.5 billion, Zhang Huasong can get it now with double the cash! As for the total value, Zhang Huasong's total worth of more than 5 billion is absolutely no problem.

This is also because Feixun is a sole proprietorship and private owned by Zhang Huasong, and the media only calculates Zhang Huasong's various cash income and fixed assets.

If Feixun accepts venture capital, with the development prospects of WeChat and the horror income of the two games, the valuation of Feixun alone will definitely be tens of billions.

Suddenly, the title of Zhang Tianwang disappeared, and the title of "President Zhang" filled all corners of the Internet, and even many foreign media reported on it, and expressed their amazement at Zhang Huasong's worth.

There is no doubt that Zhang Huasong has become the most successful tennis player among track and field athletes, the most successful singer among tennis players, and the most successful entrepreneur among singers......

The magnitude of the crossover and the degree of success of the almighty king Zhang Huasong can only be jaw-dropping.

Of course, in addition to being amazed, domestic fans also expressed strong interest in the content of the cooperation between Zhang Huasong and the Football Association.

In 2010, the naming fee for Pirelli to name the Chinese Super League was only 40 million, which is the largest sponsorship fee received by the Football Association every year.

So, where will Zhang Huasong's 1.5 billion be used?

According to 40 million a year, is this going to be the title of the Chinese Super League for 37 years?

It's impossible to think about.

So, how to use 1.5 billion? What kind of cooperation projects can use up 1.5 billion, and how many years of cooperation?

These issues have become the focus of attention of the national media and fans.

Hundreds of domestic and foreign comprehensive media and sports media instantly gathered to the Chinese Football Association to find out.

However, at this time, the Football Association has been strictly ordered to do so, and no other news has leaked out.

And Zhang Huasong's studio and Feixun Company only told reporters that they were waiting for a reply from the Football Association. Before the formal signing of the contract, it is inconvenient to disclose the specific cooperation project.

In the next few days, even the news that Zhang Huasong and his wife received a total of 12 Grammy nominations and finally won 5 awards were drowned out by the news of Zhang Huasong's huge investment of 1.5 billion yuan in Huaguo football.

The people of the whole country have fallen into a heated discussion on Zhang Huasong's worth and how to use the 1.5 billion huge money, and a heated discussion on the Internet has set off a "hugging President Zhang's big legs", and Feixun has suddenly become the most desirable place for programmers in the country.

The amount of 1.5 billion is indeed too appalling, and Zhang Huasong's conditions are indeed very harsh. It took several days, and it was not until February 21 that the Football Association notified Feixun to resume negotiations.

This time, there is also a big leader of the General Administration of Sports, which shows that the General Administration of Sports also attaches great importance to this negotiation.

Naturally, the office of the Football Association was also crowded with media from all over the country, anxiously awaiting the outcome of the negotiations between the two sides.

However, to the disappointment of the media, the talks between the two sides still did not produce any results.

Zhang Huasong's insistence that the Football Association could not interfere with the national team's selection of players and the conditions of tactical command made the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports very annoyed, but Zhang Huasong's sky-high sponsorship of 1.5 billion yuan made the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports unable to refuse.

A tug-of-war began.

Naturally, the negotiation of 1.5 billion yuan cannot be determined in a moment and a half.

Even leaving aside the issue of the national team, there are too many things involved.

Of course, Zhang Huasong knows the urine nature of the Football Association, and he has no concession on this point, but cooperates with the Football Association a little bit on other issues.

For example, the sponsorship fee for the first year of the Chinese Super League was finally determined not to be 40 million, but 50 million, which was raised every year.

Although it cost an extra 70 million in the end, Zhang Huasong was also content in exchange for the concessions of the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports on the issue of the national team.

At the end of February, the two sides agreed on the general direction.

After several days of detailed negotiations, Feixun and the Huaguo Football Association finally reached a consensus on all issues.

On March 4, 2011, the signing ceremony of strategic cooperation between Huaguo Football Association and Beiping Feixun Technology Co., Ltd. was held in the conference room of Huaguo Sports General Administration.

On the side of the Football Association, a member of the Politburo and a state councilor attended the signing ceremony, as well as the chairman and deputy director of the General Administration of Sports, the chairman and vice chairman of the Huaguo Football Association, and the general manager of Huachao Company.

On the side of Feixun Company, Zhang Huasong, Ye Chu, Qin Zhuozheng and others naturally attended as representatives, and at the same time, Zhang Huasong's wife Shu Yufei, agent Pan Xiaowen and so on also watched the signing ceremony.

It can be said that this is one of the most important signings in the history of Chinese football, which can be seen from the attitude of the Central Committee to send a Politburo member to attend the signing ceremony.

Before signing the contract, the Central Committee member brought the instructions and expectations of the central bigwig who is rumored to be very concerned about football, hoping that Zhang Huasong and the Football Association can cooperate sincerely to bring Huaguo football out of the trough and live up to the ardent expectations of fans across the country.

Naturally, not only did dozens of domestic and foreign media come to the scene to report on the signing, but the CCTV Sports Channel also broadcast the signing ceremony live, which is definitely a national concern.

In his speech, Zhang Huasong expressed his love for football and his expectations for the national football team, hoping that this cooperation between him and the Football Association can bring some good changes to Chinese football in the throes of reform.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people at the scene and across the country, Zhang Huasong and Xiao Yingyi officially signed the contract as representatives of the two parties and completed the signing ceremony of this strategic cooperation worth at least 1.5 billion.

After the signing ceremony was completed, the specific matters of cooperation were naturally disclosed, and Zhang Huasong's generosity caused the national media and fans to marvel, but Zhang Huasong's heavy money on the Football Association also caused many people to worry.

In the reporter's Q&A after the signing, a reporter asked Zhang Huasong whether he wanted to buy out the Chinese Super League and manipulate Chinese football, and Zhang Huasong denied it.

Zhang Huasong replied that Feixun is only a private enterprise and it is impossible to interfere with the work of the Football Association.

In this cooperation, Feixun's identity is only a "sponsor".

Feixun did not get any management rights, dividend rights, etc., and Feixun only used sponsorship money to play a title advertisement in the Huachao League.

As for other sponsorship projects, in addition to the selection of the head coach of the national football team, Feixun will not participate in any specific project operations.

It is the credit of the Football Association that Huaguo Football has done well, and it is also the responsibility of the Football Association to do it well, and it has nothing to do with Feixun, which is just sponsoring Huaguo Football with enthusiasm.

As for the selection of the head coach of the national football team, Feixun is ready to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to invite world-class coaches, doesn't it have the right to choose candidates?

Whether outsiders understand or not, Zhang Huasong will not have any compromise in the position of national football coach.

After all, when he enters football in the future, he will also cooperate with this coach and participate in the national team competition.

If there is a puppet coach who is remotely controlled by the Football Association, Zhang Huasong will not do it.

However, no matter how Zhang Huasong explains, the most interesting national team coach in this cooperation is not only Zhang Huasong's salary, but also Zhang Huasong's personal selection, and also restricts the Football Association's right to meddle in the national team.

In this way, wouldn't the Chinese national team in the next few years be equivalent to Zhang Huasong's final say?

In the next few days, conspiracy theorists naturally seized on this point and criticized it, thinking that Zhang Huasong was relying on a lot of money to put himself above the national team, and the crime should be punished.

However, at this time, Zhang Huasong's past achievements, merits and huge popularity have played a role.

First of all, Zhang Huasong is now nicknamed President Zhang, and he is not short of money. In the national team where Zhang Huasong has the final say, it is impossible for athletes with insufficient strength to pay money to enter the national team through the back door.

Second, how many championships has Zhang Huasong won for Huaguo? It is absolutely unreasonable to say that Zhang Huasong is not patriotic. If Zhang Huasong is not patriotic, why did he bother to come to the troubled waters of Chinese football?

In the end, under Zhang Huasong's huge popularity, there are too many fans who support Zhang Huasong without thinking. A handful of media outlets and conspiracy theorists didn't make any waves at all, and were extinguished by Zhang's fan base.

The vast majority of people believe that Zhang Huasong sponsored the Football Association with a heart that loves football, and wants to promote Chinese football.

However, Zhang Huasong has been flawless in the domestic controversy. At this time, after signing with the Football Association, he had flown to Germany and appeared at the home of former Greek men's national team coach Ottore Hagel.

Ottore Hagel is Zhang Huasong's favorite candidate for the coach of the Chinese national team in the next seven years.

Ottore Hagel's career as an athlete was lackluster, but his coaching career was one of the world's most famous.

The famous Kaiserslautern miracle and Greek mythology were created by Rehhagel, who was reverently called Otto the Great.

Rehhagel's iron-fisted personality and strict discipline made it difficult for him to struggle with the superstar players in Bayern Munich, where the big names are gathered.

However, in Kaiserslautern and the Greek national team, which did not have a big star player, Rehhagel was a huge success.

In the Greek team, Rehhagel fired several disobedient main members of the national team as soon as he took office, which caused an uproar in Greece and made Greek fans extremely disgusted with Rehhagel.

However, the end result was that a disciplined and united Greek civilian team without a big star and built exactly as Rehhagel had asked them to do, won the final title at Euro 2004 in Portugal, creating a Greek myth that shocked the world.

After the Greek team won the championship, how many Greek players made fans around the world remember and impress?

Not a single one.

The whole world understands that the real key to the myth of the Greek national team's victory in the European Championship is Ottore Hagel, not some superstar player.

Rehhagel's coaching style is exactly the same as his famous saying: where he is, he has the final say.

So, in the Bremen, Kaiserslautern and Greek national teams that he can say, he has achieved great success.

In Bayern Munich, where there are many superstars, any player is worth more than him, he can't say it, and the players don't train according to the tactics he arranged, so Bayern Munich has become the most unsuccessful experience in Rehhagel's coaching career.

It is precisely because he knows Rehhagel's iron-fisted character and discipline requirements that Zhang Huasong will strongly demand that the Chinese Football Association absolutely not interfere in the selection and tactical training of the national team, the list of players on the field, and so on.

If Zhang Huasong invited Rehhagel, the Chinese Football Association would still be as powerful as before, and the layman would command the insider, and use Rehhagel as a puppet, which would definitely cause huge contradictions.

Zhang Huasong believes that in his coaching career, he has won three German league championships, three German Cup championships, one European Cup Winners' Cup and one European Cup championship, created the Kaiserslautern miracle and Greek mythology, and is good at coaching the weak team.

At this time, Rehhagel has stepped down as the head coach of the Greek national team for more than half a year, and he is idle at home, which is a good time for Zhang Huasong to visit and invite him to coach the Chinese national team.
