Chapter 391 1.5 billion strategic cooperation
When the United States Zhang Huasong and his wife returned to Beiping after attending the Grammy Awards ceremony, the new leadership team of the Chinese Football Association was indeed anxious.
The 2011 season of the Chinese Super League is about to start on April 1, and there are only more than two months left, but the title sponsor of the Chinese Super League has not yet been found.
The Football Association and Huachao have lowered the naming fee again and again, and the psychological price has been reduced to half of the time when Pirelli was named, but neither has found a company or group willing to take over.
Not to mention taking over, I didn't even find one of the intended title sponsors.
It is said that the general manager of Huachao Company has half of his hair.
The Football Association is only responsible for guiding and pulling the line, and the general manager of Huachao Company is the specific person in charge. If you can't even pull the title sponsor, the general manager of Huachao Company will be mainly responsible, and it will definitely be pointed out by Qianfu at that time.
At this time in parallel time and space, Wanda Group has begun to negotiate with the Chinese Football Association. Therefore, the Football Association will not panic yet.
And now this is Blue Star, without Wanda Group's charcoal in the snow, the Chinese Football Association is really desperate.
When the new season begins, the central leaders and fans across the country find that the Chinese Super League does not even have a title sponsor, and when they run completely naked, they don't know what kind of pressure the leaders of the Football Association will face.
It was under such circumstances that Feixun sent an official letter to the Huaguo Football Association (Football Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports), and Zhang Huasong, president of Feixun, applied to visit the Huaguo Football Association on February 16 to discuss Feixun's intention to carry out strategic cooperation with the Huaguo Football Association.
On the afternoon of February 15, Zheng Songyi, head of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Football Association, rushed into the office of Xiao Yingyi, director of the Football Management Center and full-time vice chairman of the Football Association, with a fax.
Xiao Yingyi was on the phone to contact a CEO of a private enterprise in the south he knew, hoping that the other party would title the 2011 season of the Chinese Super League. If you feel that the naming fee is too high, you can sit down and discuss it slowly.
However, the other party politely rejected Xiao Yingyi's invitation on the phone, no matter how Xiao Yingyi persuaded him, it didn't work, and the other party kept talking about other topics.
And, listening to the tone is getting more and more impatient.
At this time, Zheng Songyi rushed in, and his face was full of joy, Xiao Yingyi could only say a few words to the CEO of the private enterprise on the phone, and then hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yingyi, who was physically and mentally exhausted, sighed and asked Zheng Songyi, "Songyi, why are you so happy?"
Zheng Songyi raised the fax in his hand, stepped forward and handed it to Xiao Yingyi, and smiled: "Chairman Xiao, you can just look at it!"
Xiao Yingyi took it curiously and looked at it, and was so shocked that she almost jumped up.
"Zhang Huasong, president of Feixun, is it the Zhang Huasong who plays tennis?" Xiao Yingyi asked in surprise.
Zheng Songyi nodded and said, "Yes, it's that Zhang Huasong, who holds the position of president of Feixun Company." Although Ye Chuzai, the general manager, is in charge of the day-to-day affairs of Feixun Company, Feixun Company is indeed wholly owned by Zhang Huasong alone. ”
"What is he doing in the Football Association when he plays tennis? Could it be that he wants to cross the border and want to play football?" Xiao Yingyi asked in surprise.
Zheng Songyi shook his head and said: "No, you see the name of him on the official letter, he is the president of Feixun Company." Moreover, the official letter was sent from Feixun Company, not Zhang Huasong's studio. In terms of content, the other party said that he came to discuss strategic cooperation related to Huaguo football. In my opinion, Zhang Huasong may want to make his Feixun company name the Chinese Super League. ”
Xiao Yingyi's face suddenly brightened, and he smiled: "If that's the case, that's great." ”
Zheng Songyi nodded and said, "Yes!"
Xiao Yingyi immediately ordered: "No matter what Zhang Huasong's purpose is, hurry up and reply to the other party, and be ready to greet him." ”
Even though Xiao Yingyi is in power, he is still very eager for the visit of Zhang Huasong, the first superstar in the sports world with a huge international reputation, and Zhang Huasong, the owner of Feixun Company with a net worth of billions.
On February 16, when Zhang Huasong arrived at the office building of the Football Association with his personal lawyer Qin Zhuozheng and several senior executives of Feixun Company, he was faced with a welcoming team of dozens of people from the Chinese Football Association.
"Welcome to President Zhang!" Xiao Yingyi, who is in his 50s, took the initiative to shake hands and say hello, with a very kind attitude, and did not see any signs of bureaucracy.
"Thank you, Chairman Xiao!" Zhang Huasong said with a smile.
The two sides then introduced each other to the key members of their team before entering the FA office building.
Although Chinese football is now completely stinky on the street, the number of Chinese fans has not decreased, and the Football Association, which is responsible for the reform of Chinese football, is naturally the focus of the media and fans across the country.
When Zhang Huasong's team and the leadership team of the Football Association began to talk in the conference room, the media had already broken the big news that the international superstar Zhang Huasong appeared in the Football Association.
"International superstar Zhang Huasong just returned to China after participating in the Grammy Awards, what do you want to do with the Chinese Football Association?"
"Zhang Huasong appeared in the Football Association, does he want to play football across borders?"
"After track and field and tennis, could it be that Zhang Huasong wants to continue cross-border football and lead the strong rise of Chinese football?"
"According to eyewitnesses, Zhang Huasong has Ye Chu, the general manager of Feixun Company, by his side, maybe Zhang Huasong wants to name the new season of the Chinese Super League in the name of Feixun?"
All kinds of news are flying on the Internet, and I don't know the truth, but Zhang Huasong's fans and Huaguo football fans have erupted with great enthusiasm for discussion.
Although the national football team is not good, the number of fans in China is definitely second to none in the world, after all, the population is there.
Seeing the news of Zhang Huasong's appearance in the Football Association, these fans naturally broke out with strong interest in discussion.
For the title of the Chinese Super League, netizens are not very interested, basically no one discusses, everyone discusses whether the purpose of Zhang Huasong's appearance in the Football Association is to cross over to the football world.
If that's the case, the national football team is really likely to turn over.
After all, Zhang Huasong has achieved great success in both track and field and tennis.
Not to mention football skills, just Zhang Huasong's sprint speed of 9.46 seconds in 100 meters, if you go to play football and play forward, you are definitely the fastest football player in the world, no one can beat it.
In terms of physical fitness, Zhang Huasong can even set a world record in a marathon, and it is easy to run 10,000 meters in a race.
As long as you have a little bit of ball skills, you are definitely much more dangerous than the current national team forwards.
Therefore, netizens are very excited and feel that it would be so happy if Zhang Huasong really wanted to play football across borders.
However, another group of netizens who are completely dead to Chinese football are firmly opposed to Zhang Huasong playing football.
Because the reputation of Chinese football is too stinky, don't lose your popularity by playing football across borders.
Moreover, football is a collective sport, and they believe that even if the almighty Zhang Huasong crosses the ball, it is impossible to lead the national football team that can't support the mud to make too many breakthroughs, which is a waste of time.
In the heated discussion among netizens, in the conference room of the Football Association, Xiao Yingyi and other leaders and staff of the Football Association were stunned after listening to Zhang Huasong's strategic cooperation proposal of at least 1.5 billion yuan in 7 years.
When the Football Association lowered the psychological price of the naming fee of the Chinese Super League to less than 20 million yuan and could not find a sponsor, Zhang Huasong's 1.5 billion cooperation agreement was simply an astronomical amount.
The first part of the cooperation proposed by Zhang Huasong is to donate 20 million yuan to the Football Association every year to support the youth football league and campus football league under the age of 18 in China and increase the football population in China.
The cooperation will last for 7 years, until the 2018 World Cup in Russia, with a total amount of 140 million, paid annually.
If the league does well, Feixun does not rule out the possibility of additional sponsorship fees in the middle.
How to use this fund will not interfere with the Football Association, and the Feixun Company will only supervise that it will not be diverted for other purposes.
If there are good seedlings in the youth league and school league, Feixun will fund them to study abroad in European clubs, and will not interfere with the ownership of these young athletes by local sports committees or clubs.
In other words, these overseas sponsorships are completely free, but they must be the seedlings that Feixun is really optimistic about.
The cooperation will be effective until the end of the cooperation in 2018, and if the cooperation is pleasant, the cooperation period will be extended at that time.
Some netizens complained that the 1.3 billion Chinese people could not find 11 people who could play football was incorrect.
In fact, the level of football is not determined by the total population, but by the professional population engaged in the sport.
In the 90s, when Huaguo first launched the professional league, there were as many as four or five hundred thousand professional football players of all ages left by the sports committees of various provinces and cities in China, so the results of the Huaguo national team before 2004 were still good, because the selection was relatively wide.
But as of 2011, there are only 8,000 registered professional football players recorded by the Chinese Football Association.
There is a big difference between choosing a national team from four or five hundred thousand people and choosing a national team from 8,000 people.
There are more than 2 million professional athletes in Brazil, more than 1.4 million in France, more than 500,000 in Dongying, and more than 400,000 in Han.
In contrast, it is not difficult to understand that the performance of the national team has fallen to the point where the performance of the national team has fallen to the point where it is today.
If China's football population can reach 500,000, not to mention winning South Korea and Japan, it should be no problem to play a good game.
And this is why it is particularly necessary to pay attention to youth leagues and campus leagues, which is also the reason why Zhang Huasong put forward this point in his first cooperation proposal.
The second content of the cooperation is to hire a real world-class coach to coach the national team for the Chinese men's national football team funded by Feixun, and the salary is fully responsible for the salary of Feixun.
I don't know the exact number of this cooperation, but if a country like the Chinese team wants to impress a truly world-class coach, it must come up with an astronomical annual salary.
Therefore, during the 7-year cooperation period, the salary involved is probably at least more than 500 million, which is much higher than the average annual salary of the parallel time and space Wanda Group and the Chinese Football Association to invite Camacho's team.
If you don't pay a high salary, you can't invite a real world-class coach to coach an Asian weak team like the Chinese national team.
Of course, Zhang Huasong is conditional.
If the Football Association agrees to Zhang Huasong's strategic cooperation proposal, then the Football Association will change the previous style of the emperor who commanded the insider.
The national team will be formed by the new world-class coach, and the Football Association will have no right to interfere in the selection of players. It's okay to give advice, but it's the manager's business whether to listen or not.
If the Football Association interferes with the selection of members of the national team and causes conflicts, even if the Football Association breaches the contract, the Football Association will be responsible for the huge amount of liquidated damages, and Feixun will not pay a penny.
The third cooperation is the naming of the Chinese Super League, and the naming fee in 2011 was the same as that of Pirelli, at 40 million yuan. In the future, it will increase by 10 million per year, and by 2018, it will reach 110 million, and the total naming fee will reach 600 million, which will be paid year by year.
The fourth cooperation is to provide 7 years of 200 million yuan to title and fund the Women's Super League, in order to promote the development of Chinese women's football, hoping to regain the glory of the sonorous rose.
The fifth cooperation content is to provide at least 10 million funds every year to promote the professional reform, training, assessment and reward of domestic football referees, increase the professionalism of referees, and reduce the incidence of mistakes and even black whistles.
Five cooperation contents, with a time span of 7 years, involve at least 1.5 billion yuan. This is not only the largest sponsorship ever received by the Football Association, but also the largest sponsorship in the history of Chinese sports.
If this strategic cooperation is signed, it will undoubtedly give a shot in the arm to Huaguo football, which has fallen into darkness, and let Huaguo football get out of the trough.
The leadership of the last Football Association capsized, and Xiao Yingyi was ordered to preside over the work of the Football Association, so naturally he was not asked to mess around.
Not to mention the attention of hundreds of millions of fans and media across the country, the attention of a central bigwig who loves football alone is enough for Xiao Yingyi and other team members to walk on thin ice.
If during his tenure, Chinese football can get out of the trough and even reach the World Cup finals, it will undoubtedly be a huge political achievement.
When the time comes, the officialdom will be promoted, and the people will receive rave reviews, which is simply perfect.
Just looking at the sponsorship amount proposed by Zhang Huasong, everyone in the Football Association is eager to sign a contract and get money immediately.
Although Feixun will have supervision and financial audits, such a large amount of astronomical funds, even if there is no corruption, just the right and scenery to control money are enough to make people rush to it.
However, the conditions that Zhang Huasong put forward along with the sponsorship, especially the seven-year contract period and the condition that the Football Association would never interfere with the national team again, were equally shocking.
"What does Zhang Huasong mean? Is this to usurp power and control the national team?"
"Not only to control the national team, but also to buy out the naming rights of the Chinese Super League for 7 years, I think he wants to manipulate the entire Chinese football!"
"If we agree to his conditions, we can't even control the national team, is this still the Football Association?"
"That's too arrogant, who does he think he is?"
"It's just an athlete, and he doesn't know what his last name is if he's a little famous, right?"
Of course, everyone only dares to mumble in private.
Although he has no official position, Zhang Huasong's current reputation and international influence are not something that these domestic football association staff can provoke in person.
