"These men in black don't know where they came from. All of you have been careful lately. Liu Tao instructed.

Everyone nodded.

"What about Zorro and his son? Didn't the two of them come over to cultivate? Liu Tao asked.

"They finished their work and left. Do you have something to do with them? Xia Xueqing asked.

"It's fine." Liu Tao shook his head and said, "It's not early, you guys go and rest." ”

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Liu Tao sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

What are these men in black? He also has a lot of enemies on weekdays, and for a while, he really can't figure out who did it.

If it weren't for the fact that his family was going back and forth, he would have set up a Heavenly Thunder Formation on the periphery a long time ago, and if someone tried to break in, they would have been split into a pile of ashes immediately!

People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. Even if he does good things, he will inevitably offend people.

Liu Tao himself has nothing to worry about. If the other party comes to him directly, then he will naturally send the other party away in his own way. But the other party often goes after his family, which he doesn't want to see.

Although he had already taught his cultivation techniques to his parents, Xia Xueqing and others, their cultivation time was not long after all, and the strength they could exert was very limited. So he has to worry about everyone for a while.

As time passed, everyone got up one after another. Ai Mei and Chu Tianjiao made breakfast and beckoned everyone to dine together.

After eating, Liu Tao came to the lobby of the Mingdu Hotel with Xia Xueqing and others. This is where the press conference will take place.

Since Xia Xueqing had released the news before, a large number of reporters quickly gathered here.

When the time was almost there, Liu Tao came to the stage to say hello to everyone, and the press conference officially began.

"Everyone is welcome to come here and attend a press conference hosted by our company. Through the company's unremitting efforts, new drugs have been introduced. It will go on sale this afternoon. Liu Tao cleared his throat and said.

"Mr. Liu, I don't know what kind of disease your company is mainly targeting this time?" A reporter asked.

"We have developed two drugs this time. One is used to treat stomach cancer and the other is used to treat breast cancer. Liu Tao replied.

"What? Two? The reporters in the audience immediately looked at each other. Cancer is one of the most intractable diseases in the world, and there is no specific drug for treatment. Shenhua Pharmaceutical Company is good, it has developed two drugs at one time, which is simply a miracle in the medical world!

"Yes." Liu Tao nodded and said, "Both drugs will be available in the afternoon." At that time, patients can come to Binjiang's sales center by themselves or ask a friend to make a purchase. ”

"Mr. Liu, can you tell us about the prices of the two medicines? We can write it in passing when we are doing the report. The reporter asked.

"The drugs for the treatment of stomach cancer are still 10,000 yuan a pair, and if it is an early patient, three pairs of drugs can be cured. In the case of advanced patients, five to six pairs are required. As for the price of drugs to treat breast cancer, it's the same as this. Liu Tao replied.

"Mr. Liu, haven't you thought about raising the price of medicines? You must know that Shenhua Pharmaceutical is the only company in the world that can provide drugs to treat these cancers, and it would be a good thing for the company to raise the price. A reporter said yes.

"I made a promise that I would never let patients spend too much money on treatment. Now the sales of drugs are very good, and the company is making enough profits. So I'm not going to raise the price. Liu Tao shook his head and said.

"Mr. Liu has such a mind at a young age, and he is simply a living bodhisattva. We'll definitely write this report when we get back. The reporter said.

"Thank you. After the press conference, I will hold a banquet here to entertain you. Liu Tao said with a smile.

Naturally, everyone thanked them one after another.

After the press conference ended, Liu Tao asked Xia Xueqing to arrange for someone to entertain the reporters here, and then he and the other party left here.

"Ah Tao, where are we going?" After getting into Liu Tao's car, Xia Xueqing couldn't help but ask.

"I want to go to the Shenlong Club." Liu Tao replied.

"The momentum of the Shenlong Club is very good right now. In your absence, the club has won three league games in a row. Xia Xueqing said.

"With so many internationals coming together, if I can't sweep the domestic league, won't my money be wasted? Of course, the main purpose of sweeping the domestic league is not the main goal, the main purpose is to make them appear as the overall squad of the national team. Chinese football has been decadent for so long, and it's time to rise. Liu Tao said lightly.

"Huaxia football is now ranked more than 100 in the world, relying on the current group of international players. Do you really have the confidence to build these players into world-class players? It's a bit hard for me to watch. Xia Xueqing said with some concern.

"All I can give them is good health. After the body transformation, the indicators of their body will be improved a lot, which will definitely be good for them. As for whether they can become world-class players, it depends on their own efforts. Of course, if the Chinese team participates in the World Cup, I will represent the Chinese team. Liu Tao said.

"The Chinese team is participating in the World Cup? I'm afraid we'll have to wait four years to do it. You also know that this World Cup has no chance with the Chinese team. Xia Xueqing said.

"I heard that a national team bribed FIFA officials and referees in a World Cup qualifier. If this news is true, then the national team will eventually miss the World Cup. Liu Tao said.

"You can't be talking about the Saudi team, right? I've seen the news. However, it seems that no results have been investigated yet. Xia Xueqing said.

"Flies don't bite seamless eggs. Now FIFA has intervened in the investigation, and it is believed that the results will be available soon. Of course, I'll find someone to follow up on this. If the news is true, then the Saudi team will not be able to participate in the World Cup. Liu Tao said.

"If the Saudi team doesn't make it, won't the remaining teams have to play again? The World Cup is less than a week away, and even if it is, it may not be too late. Xia Xueqing said.

"At that time, the Saudi team and the Chinese team were in the same group, and the two teams ranked first and second respectively. If the Saudi team cannot participate in the game, according to the regulations, the Chinese team will replace the Saudi team. Liu Tao said.

"In this way, doesn't the Chinese team have a chance to participate in the World Cup?" Xia Xueqing asked.

"Yes." Liu Tao nodded and said, "If the Huaxia team qualifies for the World Cup, I will participate as one of them." ”

"Did I hear me right? Aren't you a basketball player? When did you become a soccer player again? Xia Xueqing was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking.

"Can't basketball players play football?! I'm going to have to shock the world enough! When Liu Tao said this, he laughed out loud!

"I know you're amazing. But football is not the same as basketball, do you know anything about football? If you don't know how to play, you'll have to train for a while. Xia Xueqing said.

"No, you don't." Liu Tao shook his head and said, "I don't go forward, I don't have a midfielder, and I don't need to learn football skills." ”

"I mean, I mean to be a defender or a goalkeeper." Xia Xueqing guessed.

"I don't have anything else to do, just be a goalkeeper. As long as they can hold the gate, the team will win. Even if it is overtime or penalty shootout, the final winner belongs to the Chinese team. Liu Tao said confidently.

"You're so confident you can keep other teams from scoring?" Xia Xueqing's tone was filled with a hint of doubt.

"There are no three-thirds, and I don't dare to go up to Liangshan. Since I want to be a goalkeeper, I naturally have confidence in my own strength. Liu Tao said with a smile. Know that he has an eye that can slow down the ball so that he has enough time to react! If you want to score goals, dream of it!

If this is the big five leagues, then a good goalkeeper may not be able to help the team achieve the ultimate victory! After all, if it's all draws, you can only get one point, and the final match points are still relatively behind.But for the World Cup, as long as you can qualify from the group, then as long as you can guarantee that you don't concede a goal, you can win the championship in the end!

In other words, if the Chinese team wants to win the championship, it must qualify for the group stage!

If Liu Tao can try to ensure that the team does not concede goals, then as long as one goal can be scored in three games, then he can qualify from the group.

With so many players gathered in the front court, it would be difficult not to score.

The team is usually a single striker or two strikers, with no more than three. If you follow Liu Tao's tactical arrangement, at least four or five strikers will be arranged!

This formation will definitely shock the world!

You know, since ancient times, no team has had the courage to do this! After all, a team only has 11 players in the game, and if there are more than five strikers in a game, it means that the number of midfielders and defenders combined is only five. Five people have to organize both offense and defense, which is simply an impossible task.

But for Liu Tao, organizing offense and defense can be done completely. As long as he drives the ball enough to get into the opposition front zone, then his team-mates have a chance.

Thinking of this, the corners of Liu Tao's mouth showed a hint of pride.

The Chinese team is destined to become a dark horse in the World Cup this time.

"Seeing that you are so happy, I really hope that the Saudi team will bribe the relevant officials of FIFA, so that the Chinese team can enter the World Cup smoothly, and then you can release your passion to the fullest." Xia Xueqing said with a smile.

"I'm sure we'll be able to get the results soon." Liu Tao said.

By this time they had arrived at the club.

A new stadium has been built. Zhu Xiaoming just returned from training with the players. Seeing Liu Tao, Zhu Xiaoming stepped forward to say hello.

"Coach Zhu, I heard that the team has won three consecutive victories recently, so I came here to take a look and congratulate you by the way." Liu Tao said with a smile.

Zhu Xiaoming waved his hand and said, "The three teams we meet here are all weak teams. It's not too late to wait until the next game to defeat the Shu team. ”

"Has Shu Da made any recent moves?" Liu Tao asked.

"Shu Da has recently attracted two super foreign aids. One is an Italy international and the other is an England international, both active. Zhu Xiaoming replied.

"It seems that Shu Da has a lot of blood this time." Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Yes." Zhu Xiaoming nodded and said, "It cost 40 million euros to buy two players. When converted into Huaxia coins, it is almost 250 million. ”

"Shu Da has just formed an alliance with Tiangu.com, and the market value of both companies is more than 100 billion, and 250 million yuan has been taken, but it is only a drop in the bucket. If it weren't for the restrictions on the number of foreign aid in the domestic league, I'm afraid that Shuda's players would have to be replaced by foreign ones. Liu Tao said.

"The strength of our team is probably a little lower than that of the other side now. Mr. Liu, are we also bringing in a few foreign aids? After all, the strength of these football players in the five major leagues is still relatively high. Zhu Xiaoming said.

"The introduction of foreign aid is for sure. Not now, though. The players are still grinding in with each other, and if outsiders come in, they have to be re-grinded. Manager, do you not have confidence in these players of ours? Liu Tao shook his head and asked.

"Not really. The main reason is that everyone used to train hard, but now it is not easy to catch up all at once. Especially the players are under a lot of pressure right now, everyone wants to win the game, for fear of being sorry for the money you spent. Zhu Xiaoming replied.

"If you want to hurry, you can't get there. You ask people not to have any pressure, just play hard. Now that we're halfway through the competition, even if we want to win the championship, I'm afraid it's unlikely. Now Shuda has introduced so many strong foreign aids, and its strength has increased greatly, and there is basically no suspense about the championship. Liu Tao said.

"After half a year of running-in, it will not be a problem to win the championship next year." Zhu Xiaoming nodded and said.

"By the way, you told everyone not to work too hard when they participated in the competition recently, so as not to hurt themselves. They are about to face an even greater test. Liu Tao reminded.

"Mr. Liu, are you talking about the Saudi team bribing the officials and referees of the Football Federation?" Zhu Xiaoming guessed.

"Yes." Liu Tao nodded and said: "If this matter is true, then the Saudi team will definitely be disqualified from the World Cup." According to the regulations, the Chinese team will replace the Saudi team in the World Cup. By the way, are you familiar with the head coach of the Chinese national team? If you're familiar with it, you can introduce me to it, and I'd like to meet them. ”

"I played with him for eighteen years, do you know each other?" Zhu Xiaoming smiled bitterly.

"You can call me and make an appointment." Liu Tao said.

"Yes." Zhu Xiaoming nodded.

"I'm going to be very busy these days, so I don't think I have time to watch the game. You make everybody try to relax and I'm going to give everybody bonuses regardless of the outcome of the game. Liu Tao said.

"Okay."

"Don't forget to ask me for the head coach of the national team. Call me when you make an appointment. Liu Tao said.

"Yes."

Then, Liu Tao left the club with Xia Xueqing.

"Where are we going now?" After Xia Xueqing got into the car, she asked.

"Go home." Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Home? Are you going home for lunch at noon? Should I call Aunt Guan in advance? Xia Xueqing asked.

"No, you don't." Liu Tao shook his head and said, "You call directly to order food and ask the other party to send it to your home." ”

"Okay." Xia Xueqing immediately complied.

Soon, the two returned home talking and laughing.

"Huh? How did you guys find here? When Liu Tao walked into the living room, he found Dong Hao and others sitting on the sofa.

"Boss!" Everyone stood up and said hello.

"When did you come back?" Liu Tao asked.

"As soon as we got off the plane, we took the car and rushed over." Dong Hao replied.

"What about trophies? You didn't bring it with you when you came, did you? Liu Tao asked.

"How can you! The trophy has been taken to the study by my uncle. Dong Hao replied.

"Mom, my dad didn't go to work today?" Liu Tao glanced in the direction of the study and asked.

"It's the weekend." Aimei replied.

"Look at my memory. I don't even know what day of the week it's going to be. Liu Tao said with some embarrassment.

"Boss, you have a lot of opportunities every day, and you should not remember these trivial things." Wang Lung said beside him.

"I'm not the prime minister, so where did I get all the opportunities. It's just that I don't go to work and sometimes I don't know. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Boss, a few of us came to join you. You must take us in. Dong Hao said.

"Is it just a few of you? What about the rest? Liu Tao asked.

"They'll go back to their clubs to pack their things, and it won't be long before they're here." Dong Hao replied.

"Can the club release people? Now that the Chinese team has won the World Basketball Championship, your value has also doubled. Liu Tao asked with some concern.

"We have all discussed that if the team does not release the team, it will be a big deal to pay some liquidated damages. After making money for so many years, it is estimated that the liquidated damages can still be afforded. Dong Hao replied.

"Where can you pay liquidated damages yourself. Since everyone is determined to follow me, then I naturally can't say it's useless. I will send someone to help you pay your liquidated damages. Liu Tao said.

"The boss is righteous! I'm going to follow you for the rest of my life! Wang Long gave Liu Tao a warm hug as he spoke.

"Haven't you eaten yet? I just called and ordered a meal, and it will be delivered soon for everyone to eat together. Liu Tao said.

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

After eating, Liu Tao asked Dong Hao and others to go back to the club to go through the relevant procedures, and as for the liquidated damages, he would send someone to directly call the accounts of each club. (To be continued.) )
