After discovering the strangeness of the wooden knife, Li Sheng spent two days researching it, but he didn't find anything. And then the wooden knife showed no sign of actively hurting him. He put this matter down first.

Qiu Desheng found him and handed him the certificate of ownership of Jinning Football Club: "Although Jinning Club is only a first-class team, it does not have a lot of assets, and the ownership is relatively complicated, so it takes a lot of time to go through the procedures. ”

Li Sheng looked at the equity certificate, nodded and said: "When it comes to state-owned assets, it is normal for the procedures to be troublesome." ”

The wholly-owned acquisition of Jinning Club cost him five billion dollars. However, this acquisition can be regarded as a loss. Jinning Club still has a lot of assets, and as long as you are willing to invest, those assets can be called benign assets. As long as the business can be operated, the funds he invested will always be recovered one day.

He asked Qiu Desheng: "Have you conducted an assessment on the club's side, and is there any need for the current management to stay in office?" Does the club need to invest more financially?"

"There are some people in the management of the club, and the current main executives are relatives and friends of the leaders of Jinning District or people introduced by them, and they are not strong in the ability to manage the football club, at least, most of them are not qualified for their current jobs. As for the financial side, it is healthy, but that is through compression. The average salary of the team's players is now the lowest in the entire First Division. Not only is it not able to attract good players, but the existing players are also fluctuating. ”

Li Sheng frowned and said, "If the management finds the right person, replace it." What about the athletic management team, and what about the capabilities?"

"The current coaching staff is still the same team that led the team to the next level. However, they clearly cannot adapt to the first division. The head coach was originally an assistant coach of the city team and was a bit related to the mayor of Jinning District. Judging from the previous games, he has a rigid tactical thinking, does not know how to be flexible, and it is difficult to control the team. And the level of training of the coaching staff is also insufficient. ”

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "Is there no one who can use it?" Since he bought the Jinning team, of course he hopes to be relegated this year. If you do have to change the manager, looking for someone from the outside, and changing the team will only make the situation worse. But if you can tap talent from within, it will at least make the team less turbulent.

Qiu Desheng thought for a while and said: "We didn't have contact with the people in the club, but just conducted some investigation and analysis from the side. So it's not certain that coach is available. However, we found out that one of the strength and conditioning coaches on the team's coaching staff graduated from the Cologne Sports Institute. He once served as a head coach in a second division team, but after that team was disbanded due to financial problems, he never had the opportunity to be the head coach again. He only joined the club as a strength and conditioning coach two years ago. Judging by the team's game video. What the Jinning team can be stronger than other teams is physical fitness. ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "You investigate his performance in that second division team." If there's a sparkle, talk to him. Forget it, I'll talk to him then. And the players, what's going on?"

"Actually, the situation of the team is not optimistic at the moment. The players still have the ability, at least the main players are at the level of being able to play in the first division. However, the bench depth is insufficient, in fact, after the team is promoted, there are still a few players with better ability. However, because the team could not meet their demand for a raise, one went to the super team, and several others went to other first-division teams, and they all performed quite well. In addition, after the team is promoted, the proportion of salary increases for players is too low, and many players are seeking transfers. ”

When Li Sheng heard this, he knew that his team's investigation of the Jinning Club was still very in-depth. If that's the case, there's a lot of stuff left to them: "You send people to the right managers and coaching staff. As long as you find the right one, watch the timing change. In addition, it will be announced immediately that the players will be given an appropriate salary increase, how to increase it, you will study it, and add it according to the player's ability level and contribution. However, the average salary of a player must be in the middle of the ranks of a first-division team. ”

"Okay. We'll make a plan tomorrow for you to see. ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "You make arrangements, and I'll go and meet with the players tomorrow." It doesn't have to be too formal, it's like a symposium. ”

'Okay, I'll talk to the manager later. ”

The change of ownership of Jinning Club did not attract much attention from the outside world. However, the internal changes are very large. When he called the coaching staff to meet with the players, the manager was very bullish.

Li Sheng didn't argue with him with the general knowledge, and directly asked him to leave, temporarily appointing the physical coach mentioned by Qiu Desheng as the interim head coach: "You can speak with results, if you can be relegated this season, you can at least have a year to prove yourself." "It means that if he is relegated, he will be the manager next season.

Afterwards he said to the players: "My request is relegation. I don't think about what you thought about before, and how you think about it in the future. As long as you can succeed in relegation, your salary will increase. The plan of all employees is being made, and the specific upside will be determined according to your performance during the relegation period. But before that, I will take out 15 million as a relegation bonus, the main guarantee is 500,000, and the substitute is 200,000. The rest is divided according to your performance on the pitch. It's all you, the players. If relegation is successful, the coaching staff will be rewarded with another five million. I'll keep this money in the team's account, can I spend it? It's up to you to fight or not. ”

He informed all the decisions that needed to be announced, and then listened noncommittally to the assurances of the coaching staff and players. After that, he left the team's training ground. He had to travel to Namibia in the afternoon.

The land he purchased was located in the southern part of the Namia Desert, which was originally off-limits due to the possible presence of diamond mines. But after more than 20 years of exploration, nothing has been found, and this one now belongs to Li Sheng.

The Namia Desert is said to be the oldest desert in the world. It stretches across the entire coastline of Namibia, but the north is quite narrow, only about 10 kilometers at its narrowest point. But in the south, it stretches from the seashore to the rocky wall 160 kilometers inland.

In fact, this is a very unsuitable area for agriculture. Because apart from the narrow floodplains, there is almost no soil.

Li Sheng looked at the sand dunes that stretched for several kilometers or even tens of kilometers and were hundreds of meters high. There are a lot of rains here in some years. There is almost no rain in the coastal zone, which slowly increases as it enters the interior. It usually reaches between 130 and 150 mm. On the eastern edge, in some years it can reach 500 millimeters. But it usually comes in the form of extremely brief storms.

He wants to transform this environment into a farm. Farming is not a matter of concern for the time being. If he wanted to develop farming, he would have to turn the sand into soil.

However, the land on his side is surrounded by desert. But there is a farm less than ten kilometers away from the edge. Those farms are dry savannah farms. The area is quite large, many are more than 100,000 acres. But vegetation is very lacking, maybe some trees, but there is usually almost no grass on the ground. These farms are all white Europeans.

The Namibian government had hoped to nationalize the land of these whites by amending the constitution. But in the end, it didn't work.

Li Sheng didn't want to care about the story between Namibia and taking down the white people. Now he is only thinking about how to turn this desert into a grassland as soon as possible.

Yes, he can only turn this land into a steppe now. Even if he had the golden thighs of space, he couldn't make the sand heavier in a short period of time. But growing pasture is not impossible. Grass roots can take root up to a depth of several meters, and even reach the diving layer of the underground world.

Although this land is uninhabited, Li Sheng still hopes to make this land relatively closed.

So he drew a line on the map according to the extent of the land that belonged to him. He said to Donko, who had come with him: "I'm going to build a barbed wire fence. "There's still a lot of wildlife in this desert. Needless to say, reptiles. There are also some carnivorous beasts that can occasionally be found in the land. Since he was going to use it as a pasture, he had to fence it off.

Li Shengyou looked at the map for a while, dotted five dots on it, and said: "The desalination plant is built at these sites. The route of the water pipeline needs to be explored by you. ”

Tang Ke took a small notebook, recorded Li Sheng's requests one by one, and said: "We can first preliminarily plan the water transmission line on the satellite land. ”

The location of the desalination plant pointed out by Li Sheng is the most inland one, 70 kilometers from the sea. This water transmission line may spread for hundreds of kilometers.

Tang Ke glanced at the sun and said, "The information I have gathered says that the temperature difference in this desert can reach a maximum of 31 degrees. Daytime temperatures are also high in summer. If you use open channels to transport water, the cost will be relatively low, but the additional amount of issuance will also be relatively large. If the water is delivered by pipe. The construction period and cost will increase a lot. In particular, the number of water lifting stations has not yet been determined, and the construction period and cost cannot be calculated for the time being. ”

The two of them were standing on a sand dune with no end in sight, and the relative height of the sand dunes was nearly 200 meters. While such dunes are rare in the desert, smaller ones are common, running parallel to the coast and cutting off the sea from the inland. Regardless of how the water line is built, the project can be very difficult. These dunes are all sand and are very troublesome to dig up.

But Li Sheng didn't care about that. He only asked for a quick reconciliation: "Use the nullah." But I'd like to be able to straighten the line as much as possible. It doesn't matter how many more water lifting stations are built. ”

Donko jotted down his request and added: "The sand dunes here are very tall, and if you want to build the base of the wind turbine, it is best to be near the top of the dune, but the whole project is very troublesome." (To be continued.) )
