"Tao, where did you get the money to buy the players?" Fan Wenjuan asked. Previously, Liu Tao called her to ask for a sum of money, but the money was used to inject capital into Huaneng Group. As for the money to buy players, Liu Tao didn't talk to her.

"I asked Uncle Fang to pay for this money. The properties under his name have been almost sold, and now he has eight billion in cash. Liu Tao replied.

"I said, why didn't you ask me for money. What about Uncle Fang? Why didn't he come back with you? Fan Wenjuan asked.

He followed Sister Xueqing and the others to the square auditorium. With so many people pouring into Binjiang at once, I really didn't feel comfortable with it. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"You make that much movement every time. The last solo concert of Red Sleeves had already made such a big move, and this time the movement was even bigger. Fan Wenjuan quipped.

"One billion dozen advertisements, there is not much movement! The standard king of national television is only hundreds of millions of Chinese coins every year. Now Sister Xue Qing and those players must be busy. Binjiang TV should be able to broadcast this press conference live, so turn on the TV quickly. Liu Tao said.

The phone was turned on immediately and switched to Binjiang TV. Sure enough, Binjiang TV was broadcasting the press conference held in the plaza auditorium.

Xia Xueqing, Zhu Xiaoming, and Tang Shan sat on the stage. The audience was a group of media reporters from all over the country, and it seemed that there were thousands of people.

I have to say that Liu Tao's movement is too big! If it's just a team purchase, the movement is definitely much smaller than that. But having bought so many players at once, and all of them are national players, this big sum is really shocking!

You know, these players basically have contracts, and if the football club wants to poach them, they must pay liquidated damages. The liquidated damages alone cost hundreds of millions, even if he was wealthy, he didn't spend so much money to buy so many players.

It can be described in three words: not bad money.

At the beginning of the press conference, Tang San was the first to speak. You must know that Tangshan is now the CEO of DPCA Automobile Manufacturing Company, and this football club is counted in the name of DPCA Company, so in the eyes of the outside world. The deal was done by Tangshan.

Tang San said a few words briefly, and then motioned for Xia Xueqing to speak.

Xia Xueqing is now the general manager of the new team. She expressed her hopes for the team and the direction she wants to work hard in the future, and then motioned for Zhu Xiaoming to speak.

Zhu Xiaoming is already an old acquaintance to these media reporters in front of him. So after he finished speaking, everyone asked him questions.

"Coach Zhu. Why did you come back to the mountain this time? Is it because the other side promised you that you would buy these players? Someone asked.

"It's not." Zhu Xiaoming shook his head and said, "The acquisition of players was after I decided to become the head coach. The reason why I chose to coach the Shenlong Club was mainly because I was moved by the ideals of the other party. ”

"Ideal? What ideal? The other person asked.

"They want me to make this team the best team in Asia. Of course, if possible, I would also like this team to be the best in the world. This is something that needs to be done together. Zhu Xiaoming said.

Listen to him. There was a burst of laughter from below. Since the level of the domestic football league is not generally low, everyone feels that his words are a little unrealistic. If these players can win the league championship, they feel more reliable. If these domestic players want to win the AFC Champions League alone, I am afraid it will be difficult. As for being one of the top teams in the world, it's just wishful thinking.

Zhu Xiaoming did not express his inner anger in the face of the cold words from the audience. He understands why these reporters in the audience laughed, not because he made everyone feel ridiculous, but because now the entire Chinese football community makes everyone feel ridiculous.

Actually, he's not bragging. At the moment he already has 20 internationals and prospective internationals, and as long as the players can fully follow his orders and train according to his requirements, it is not impossible to become a first-class team.

What's more, there is Liu Tao by his side to help him. As long as Liu Tao can improve the physical quality of these players. Then he naturally has more confidence in his heart.

A good player has to have a strong body. If you miss the game due to injury from time to time, you basically can't play for the team.

"Coach Zhu, you should also know Mr. Pippi, the coach of Shu Da now. What do you think is the biggest advantage you have over him? A reporter asked.

"Mr. Pippi is a very good coach. He has coached at some of Europe's top clubs and has a wealth of coaching experience. I really don't have much of an advantage over him. Zhu Xiaoming told the truth.

"Although Shu Da is not as good as Shenlong Football Club in terms of the number of international players, Shu Da now has three very powerful foreign aids. In this way, if Shenlong wants to win Shu Da, I am afraid that the chance of winning is not large. The other party said.

"It will take time to prove. I know very well in my heart that you won't believe anything I say now. Wait until after three games. You can judge me and my teammates again. Zhu Xiaoming said lightly.

When Zhu Xiaoming was arguing with reporters at the scene, Liu Tao was having dinner with his family.

They talked from time to time while watching live TV.

"It doesn't seem like the journalists are optimistic about the future of the team." Fan Wenjuan said with a smile.

"Mainly because the team didn't bring in foreign players. Now domestic players, even if they are internationals, are not recognized by everyone. The main reason is that the level of international players is too poor, coupled with all kinds of negative news, which makes everyone extremely disappointed with domestic players. But I'm sure it won't be long before they have a big impression of the team. Liu Tao said confidently. He had already made up his mind that if any player didn't play well, he would hide that player forever! Let the opponent not even have a chance to play! It doesn't matter what kind of player it is. As long as it is hidden in the snow for three or five years, the level drops quickly, and it is basically wasted! After all, a player's best career in sports is ten or eight years.

Top players are even more important to many teams than to managers. As a result, many teams are the hegemons of the team, and even the head coach does not dare to reprimand the other party.

Liu Tao will never allow such a bully to appear in the team! No matter who disobeyed Zhu Xiaoming's orders. He will also not hesitate to block it!

The bad influence of the ball dominance is definitely not as simple as losing one game or two! The deposit of the ball master will affect the unity of the whole team! Football is a team sport, and it is definitely not a team sport that can be won by one or two top stars.

"Tao, you should have appeared at the press conference. When the time comes, the media reporters will definitely be more overwhelming, and you can also take the opportunity to increase your popularity. Wang Weizhen said beside him.

"Half a month later. My name will spread throughout the country of China. Of course, there are many opportunities to become famous in the future. Now, I just want to enjoy a moment of peace. Liu Tao smiled slightly and said.

"Today's young people want to be famous quickly, and even do whatever it takes to become famous. You're good. There are such good conditions not to take advantage of it. If you look at the bosses of those companies, they are also appearing frequently, hoping to attract the public's attention. You can use your influence for the benefit of the company. Fan Wenjuan said beside him.

"I'm naturally going to be high-profile when it's time to be high-profile. It's not time to make a big splash. The team hasn't achieved anything yet, and whatever they say will make others feel like they're talking big. When the press conference is over, I'll talk to the players and help them with their fitness deficits. Liu Tao said.

"Yes." Fan Wenjuan nodded and said, "If there is anything you need our help with, just say it." ”

"Now that the players have been bought, the next step is to invest a lot of money to build a state-of-the-art stadium. I'll leave this to you. You can take a look at the courses built by top clubs at home and abroad. Then let the designer make the design drawings and hand them over to Wanshan to build when the time comes. Liu Tao said.

"Okay." Fan Wenjuan said.

By this time, the press conference had ended.

Liu Tao called Xia Xueqing and asked her to take Zhu Xiaoming and all twenty players to the Sovereign Hotel. He's going to give everyone a welcome banquet there.

Soon, Liu Tao met them in the banquet room of the Sovereign Hotel.

"Welcome to Shenlong Football Club. I hope everyone can work together to bring more glory to the team. After Liu Tao greeted everyone, he spoke.

"Definitely!" Everyone said in unison.

"We are all fortunate to be here and hope to cherish this hard-won opportunity. I know that the domestic fans are very disappointed with the national football team, and we should all be able to understand their feelings. I believe everyone knows what kind of coach Coach Zhu is, and I hope you can improve your level as much as possible from his guidance. Other than that. I will help you with your lack of fitness. Liu Tao said.

Everyone nodded.

"Now that everyone is their own person, I have to say some ugly things in front of me. If someone doesn't train well and doesn't follow Coach Zhu's guidance, the consequences will become very severe. For you guys. Professional football careers are short, and that's why time is so precious. If someone doesn't train well, I'm sure the manager will put him on the bench. Sitting on the bench for five years makes even the best players worthless. I'm definitely not kidding you, I hope you all take it seriously. Liu Tao said very strictly.

The team heard him. I couldn't help but have a cold war in my heart. They are all relatively good players in China, so they naturally understand what it means to sit on the cold bench. If they don't play consistently, then their level will definitely drop.

They certainly don't want to see such a situation.

Even if they want to leave the team now, I'm afraid it's a luxury. Not to mention anything else, even if it is liquidated damages, they can't afford to pay for them. As for the teams that want to buy them, it is even more impossible to come up with this liquidated damages. The reason is simple, they are not worth the liquidated damages.

So, no matter what, they have to stay in the team and train well.

In order not to sit on the cold bench for a long time, they must train hard. Otherwise, once it is hidden, then the career will be completely over.

"You don't have to be too nervous. As long as you follow the coach's guidance, train hard, and play seriously, I will definitely not treat everyone badly. Of course, if your quality is confirmed by those clubs in Europe. If they want to poach people, I won't force you to stay here. However, I believe that it will not be long before the scenery of domestic leagues will definitely overshadow those foreign football leagues. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Mr. Liu, let's be honest. Now the better teams in China are just Shu Da and our Shenlong. The rest of the team was not strong, and now the core players of the team have basically been poached here. If other teams can't improve their strength, I don't think domestic fans will be willing to spend money to watch the game. The games that no one watches, and those super football leagues that want to surpass foreign countries, are basically no fun. One of the players, Wang Bing, said. Wang Bing is the main striker of the Chinese national football team. He had played in a foreign country for two years, and although he only played in a second-rate football league, he had seen the world anyway.

In recent decades, even if the players of the Chinese national football team participate in foreign leagues, they basically join second-rate teams. The players of those top football clubs are basically from Europe and the Americas, and there are few Asian players, even Africa.

"Rome wasn't built in a day. Originally, I was not optimistic about the football market in Huaxia, but now my thinking has changed. The economic development of Huaxia is so rapid, and rich people abound. After you have money, there will definitely be many people who are willing to invest in football. Shuda Group is a prime example of this. Shuda Football Club is like a top-level advertisement for Shuda Group, and everyone will naturally notice Shuda Real Estate and other brands under Shuda Group when watching Shuda games. I believe that it won't be long before the top bigwigs will enter the football industry. After all, this industry has achieved good results in many parts of the world, and Huaxia is certainly no exception. The reason why the football market in Huaxia is so chaotic is mainly because the level is too low. If more and more world-class players enter the football league of Huaxia, I believe that the football market of Huaxia will definitely be extremely hot at that time. Liu Tao said.

"What Mr. Liu said is very true. As far as I know, there are at least seven or eight bigwigs with a net worth of tens of billions or even tens of billions of dollars who are willing to buy a football club. After all. The football market accounts for 43% of the overall sports market. If these bigwigs invest in football clubs one after another, the football market of the entire Huaxia country will definitely do it. Zhu Xiaoming agrees with Liu Tao's opinion. Although Liu Tao is not very old, he does have something unique in his grasp of some things.

"You have to have faith in the domestic football league. To invite you to join the team. The club has already paid a billion. As long as everyone trains hard, the club will increase its investment. Construction of a new football stadium will begin soon, and it is expected that it will be used in the near future. As long as you train well, the level of treatment will definitely be the best in the country. I can guarantee that. Liu Tao said.

"We're going to train hard." Wang Bing and the others nodded one after another. In their opinion, Liu Tao's charm is absolutely extraordinary. An owner who can casually spend a billion to buy players must be very rich. Work with such a boss. The future is certainly promising. At the very least, the salary is not to worry about.

Liu Tao chatted with everyone for a while, and then let them stay here to rest. Then, he went home with Xia Xueqing and Fang Baichuan.

Seeing them coming in from outside, Fan Wenjuan, Wang Weizhen and others joked around Xia Xueqing.

Fang Baichuan sat with Mr. Xia and chatted.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was very lively.

When it was close to midnight, Liu Tao opened up the second line of Ren Du for Fang Baichuan, thus allowing him to become a cultivator as well.

When Fang Baichuan learned that he could cultivate, the excitement in his heart could not be described in words. He often saw people on TV say that there were cultivators in this world, and they could also cultivate to become immortals, and he had always scoffed at this kind of news, always feeling that these news were all fake. But now, in the blink of an eye, he had also become a cultivator, and he even had the hope of immortality.

If it was in ancient times, cultivators might not be so rare. After all, there were many rare medicinal materials in ancient times, and the aura was much thicker than now, so as long as a person was willing to work hard, it was not too difficult to become a cultivator.

But now it's harder.

Not to mention anything else, it is just a rare medicinal material that needs to be consumed to get through the second vein of Ren Du. If there are no such rare medicinal materials, it is necessary for cultivators with high cultivation to use the true qi in their bodies to open up the second vein of Ren Du for the other party, which naturally raises the threshold for cultivators.

If it weren't for the descendants of the lineage, there would simply be no cultivators willing to waste the true qi to open up the second line of Ren Du for the other party. The loss of true qi means that the cultivation time is extended, and it means that the distance from immortality is getting farther and farther away.

Fortunately, Liu Tao has the help of Tianyan, and there is no shortage of true qi. It was precisely because of this that he was able to teach the cultivation exercises to so many relatives and friends, and to open them up to the second line of Ren and Du. If you are an ordinary cultivator, if you want to help so many people get through the second vein of Ren Du, at least you will have to spend a year to replenish your true qi.

A year is already precious for ordinary people, let alone for cultivators. Therefore, there are very few people who are willing to dedicate their cultivation to help others become cultivators. (To be continued.) )
