After Zeng Cheng saw off the CEOs of the top western restaurants and hotels in China who came to Qinglong Village, he was thinking that he could live a leisurely life again, but he received a call from the capital. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The phone call came from the office of the five elders, saying that the five elders wanted to meet him and discuss something with him.

After receiving this call, Zeng Cheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly drove away from Qinglong Village, planning to transfer to Chongqing to rush to the capital. Because although the Five Great Elders are only the fifth ranked Great Elder now, in the change of office in three years, this one will become the Chief Great Elder.

For the call of a person who will be the most powerful person in China and even the world in the next ten years, Zeng Cheng has to pay attention to it.

In fact, Zeng Cheng probably knew that the reason why the five elders summoned him was because Forbes magazine had exposed that he was the owner of Manchester United.

After Forbes magazine exposed the news, many domestic sports media, especially football media, went to Shicheng to interview him, and the questions were not separated from football, such as:

"Mr. Zeng, after you become the first Chinese to buy a European Super League club, will you buy a few Chinese players to play football?"

"Mr. Zeng, will you go on a buying spree this summer?"

"Mr. Tsang, will Mr. Alex Ferguson remain the manager of Manchester United next season, and will his presence affect your standing at Manchester United?"

......

After all, this is the biggest news in Chinese sports in recent years, a Chinese actually bought a Premier League team, and it is one of the best teams in the world in recent years, and even the word "one" can be removed, which is really shocking. Later, in the five major leagues, there will be Chinese.

This is also a lifesaver for Chinese football, which is in a slump, and can join Zeng Cheng's club when Chinese players are in a bottleneck.

Facing the questions of many domestic reporters, Zeng Cheng sighed with emotion. Compared with foreign reporters who are obsessed with digging from Zeng Cheng to what superstars will be signed this summer, many domestic reporters are more concerned about whether Zeng Cheng will invite domestic players to play in the UK, especially many domestic football fans, while despairing of Chinese football, Zeng Cheng is like a beacon for them, bringing them light.

For the questions of many reporters and fans, Zeng Cheng didn't know how to answer them. After all, the level of domestic players is really limited, and it may be difficult to enter the team that aims to be the king of Europe. What's more, Ferguson is not the kind of person who will give in and compromise, and he interferes too much in the team, which will only affect his relationship with Ferguson. And if his relationship with Alex Ferguson is stiff, it will be a disaster for Manchester United. Zeng Cheng knows all too well how important Alex Ferguson's role is to Manchester United. This can be seen from the fact that in another time and space, Manchester United fell into a slump immediately after Alex Ferguson's retirement.

But Zeng Cheng was not good at categorically refusing. This matter is very easy to be involved in emotional issues such as "patriotism" by people with a heart, if Zeng Cheng is a little careless and is accused of "treason", then Zeng Cheng is really dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say anything about his suffering.

Fortunately, Zeng Cheng is now experienced in facing reporters, and he has finally coped with the past with all kinds of means.

Recently, few media reporters have continued to interview Zeng Cheng on this issue, but they didn't expect that at this time, the five elders made an appointment to meet him.

Zeng Cheng knows very well that the future boss in charge of China is a complete football fan. Since he took office, there have been many initiatives in the field of football in China. Regardless of whether these measures have actually played a role in improving the environment of Chinese football, these actions are real after all.

In addition to the many initiatives in the field of football in China, this bigwig's inspection of football is also basically a must-have item when he visits abroad. Especially when he visited the UK, he also visited Manchester.

What made Zeng Cheng feel a little resentful was that the visit was actually Manchester United's sworn enemy, that is, the Manchester City team that was nicknamed a noisy neighbor and a cousin next door by Red Devils fans, and the reason was because the banner figure of Chinese football, China Sun, had played for Manchester City for a long time.

This time, the five elders summoned him, and Zeng Cheng really couldn't find any other reason besides football.

After greeting each other, the five elders said in a deep voice: "Xiao Zeng, I invited you to the capital this time, but I actually had a reluctant invitation. ”

Zeng Chengxin said that since you always know that it is a reluctant invitation, then why do you need to say it. However, this can only be slandered from the bottom of his heart, Zeng Cheng naturally will not say it, and signals the five elders to speak directly.

"Xiao Zeng, you also know that our domestic professional football league has been in existence for more than ten years, but except for a period of popularity in the early days, it fell into a low ebb due to various reasons. Later, although the state also took a lot of measures to change this situation, the effect was very insignificant. As for me, I think so, can I ask Xiao Zeng to form a men's football team to compete in the Chinese Football League, preferably to enter the Chinese Super League in a relatively short period of time. The five elders said hesitantly.

Zeng Cheng heard that the five elders really wanted to invest in the domestic men's football team by themselves, and he almost couldn't help laughing. It would be a big joke to invest in the domestic men's football team by yourself. In this league full of match-fixing, black whistles, and bribery, I will never be stupid to invest in the national football team. In this black hole, it is useless to invest much on your own. This is not a place where you can play with money, not to mention that if you want to publicize, you have more ways to publicize, and you won't rely on a men's football team to publicize.

However, Zeng Cheng did not immediately refute the face of the future head of China, but Zeng Cheng was really reluctant to invest in the men's football team. Investing in the men's football team, Zeng Cheng felt that he not only insulted himself, but also insulted the soft sister coin in his hand.

For Chinese football, Zeng Cheng is really desperate. In fact, he was also full of hope for Chinese football, especially in the 2002 World Cup, although that period was the final sprint time for Zeng Cheng's college entrance examination, he still seized every opportunity to watch the Chinese team's game. Even if he really can't watch the game, he will find a newspaper to learn about the game.

However, the result was very disappointing to Zeng Cheng, the Chinese team lost three games in a row, swallowed nine eggs but did not score a single goal, and ended their first World Cup finals journey in disgrace.

Therefore, Zeng Cheng pondered for a long time before he said: "Chief, it is reasonable, I should agree to this request of yours, but you should also know that I have just signed two orders with Airbus and Boeing with a total value of more than four billion US dollars, which not only completely emptied my funds, but even owed a large amount of debt." And you should also know that investing in a team is not something that can be played by millions or tens of millions, so I am really a little shy right now. No, I haven't made any changes to Manchester United since I took over Manchester United, it's not that I don't want to make some changes to Manchester United, I just don't have the money......"

The five elders knew that Zeng Cheng's words were just excuses, and although he did not personally participate in the purchase contracts signed by Zeng Cheng with Boeing and Airbus, he also knew about it. Both contracts are not a lump sum payment, but an installment payment, and it is divided over five years, and the funds for this down payment are only 30 percent of the total amount, which is $1.3 billion. In the next four years, we will only need to pay a little more than 800 million per year.

In addition, Xianyuan Group now has to enter billions of funds every month, so today's Xianyuan Group has very abundant cash, and Zeng Cheng can easily take out tens of billions of soft girl coins in cash. With so much cash, it is not a matter at all to take one or two hundred million dollars to build a team to compete in the Chinese league.

With such investment, it is possible to qualify for the Super League within two years.

Of course, there is also a more straightforward way to buy a Chinese Super League football team. And now there is a Chinese Super League team in Yudu, although the record is a little unsightly, the league has played five rounds, and has not tasted victory, ranking at the bottom with a score of 1 win and 3 losses, but after all, it is still playing in the Super League.

And now that the league has just begun, if Zeng Cheng buys it over and bories a few fringe players who can't play football from Manchester United, there will definitely be a comprehensive change immediately, and maybe it will be possible to win the championship at the end of the season. After all, the level of Manchester United players is too high, even if they can't play there, they will stand out from the crowd in the Chinese Super League.

Seeing that Zeng Cheng deliberately shirked, the five elders were still a little unhappy in their hearts. If it were someone else, he would definitely be angry. But the young man in front of him is not an ordinary person, first of all, he is the richest man in China, with a net worth of tens of billions; secondly, he himself is a miracle doctor with excellent medical skills; third, he has a good relationship with several members of the Standing Committee; finally, he is deeply loved and valued by many retired elders led by Yun Lao, even with the current status of the five elders, he does not dare to make those old men unhappy. In addition, he does have a request for Zeng Cheng now, so he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said to Zeng Cheng with a pleasant face: "Xiao Zeng, we don't talk darkly, although I don't know the root cause of your company, I also have a lot of understanding." I know, you don't really run a Super League team without money. ”

Speaking of this, the five elders waved their hands, stopped Zeng Cheng, who was a little embarrassed and wanted to interject, and said: "I know that the main reason why you didn't agree to enter the domestic football world is because the domestic football environment is too bad now. But don't worry, I assure you, that will soon change. (To be continued.) )
