"Not really! We don't even have a team in a provincial city of our size? Wu Hao obviously didn't believe it, and Hong Lei on the side also said to him with a sigh when he saw this.

"That's true, it was a few years ago, but last year the team was disbanded, and now there is nothing." The history of football in Sichuan Province is still good from the very beginning of domestic football, and even ranked the best in the country more than ten years ago, but after several changes of hands, the more bad it becomes.

Until last year, it was directly relegated, and then there was no money to pay salaries, and it was finally disbanded, and this team was formerly Sheffield United, also known as Tiancheng Club.

Wu Hao also felt a little speechless when he heard this, after all, anyone who heard of such a large province and city, and the economy is not bad, but there is not even a team.

In fact, at present, many provinces and cities in China do not have professional teams, but these provinces are relatively weak economically in the country, and the most football clubs in the country are in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, among which Evergrande is undoubtedly the most famous in recent years.

Liu Ben on the side saw Wu Hao's speechless expression, then sighed and continued: "Since there is no team in our province at present, and Leizi and I are fans, so we have been thinking about whether to build a club recently, of course, our ideas are beautiful, but the reality is cruel, because the two of us have no money at all!" Liu Ben also felt a little embarrassed when he said this, after all, it was obvious that he wanted to find Wu Hao to invest.

If it was in the past, Liu Ben naturally couldn't have this kind of thought, but now that there is a super tyrant like Wu Hao around him, no, now in Liu Ben's eyes, Wu Hao is no longer a tyrant. Rather, it has already moved towards the path of 'Shenhao'.

Because, Wu Hao's handiwork that dares to spend billions of dollars in his hometown at once is not something that ordinary local tyrants can afford.

To put it simply, even the top 10 richest people in China are not saying that they can casually take out billions of yuan in a way that does not ask for any economic return at all. Get a resort or something in such a remote little place.

After all, they talk about assets of tens of billions of dollars, but most of them are the value of stocks, stocks rise and shrink fast, to put it mildly, once there is any abnormal situation, I am afraid that their personal assets are still claimed to be tens of billions one day, and it is possible to shrink by half the next day.

And, how much cash can they come up with at once?

And Wu Hao immediately understood a little when he saw Liu Ben say this, but he did not refuse. To be honest, I heard Liu Ben say that Sichuan Province didn't even have a football, and even if he didn't understand football, he was not a fan, but he was also faintly unhappy in his heart.

"I see, so tell me how much it costs to invest in football! Then tell me your plan. ”

When Liu Ben and Hong Lei heard Wu Hao say this, they both looked at each other and smiled, knowing that Wu Hao must have agreed, because in their opinion, with Wu Hao's handwriting. It's not a big deal for him to invest in football.

Because, they don't have any big teams all at once. In the early days, at most, I will play the second division club, after all, a newly established football club, even if you invest more money and buy more players, you have to play step by step from the lower league.

Domestically, except for a few amateur teams. There are about 20 pairs in the second division every year, 16 teams in the first division and 16 in the super league, and the teams in the second division want to go further and win the championship in the second division in order to be promoted to the first division, and the same is true for the first division, where the teams at the bottom of the table can only be relegated. Then give way to someone else.

At that time, Rongcheng's team also stayed in the Super League, but it was not for a long time, and they were in the first division for many years, and finally even directly relegated to the second division and then disbanded.

And Shuangqing City, a sister city adjacent to Rongcheng, now has another team that was re-promoted to the Super League last year, but it has not completely reduced the entire southwest region to a football desert.

However, this team is only in the middle and lower reaches of the 16 teams in the current National Super League, and the biggest goal is relegation. It is not at the same level as these local tyrant teams in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and even now the spending of those teams in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou for a season is already on par with those clubs in Europe.

It's just that domestic players are basically the same word 'miserable', and the people who score goals in each team are those foreign aids, and when domestic players are in the game, there are few players who can score goals.

Soon, Liu Ben cleared his throat and said to Wu Hao with a slightly excited tone: "Brother Hao, in fact, it doesn't cost much money to invest in football in the early stage, because Hong Lei and I just plan to set up a professional team first, and then play the second division league first. ”

"And the annual expenditure of a team in the second division is about one or two million, I think this money should be nothing to you Brother Hao, of course, this must be an astronomical amount for me and Leizi." After Liu finished speaking, he looked at Wu Hao a little shyly, and that look made Wu Hao get goosebumps all over his body.

"Isn't it a little less than 10 million or 20 million?" Wu Hao thought it would cost a lot of money, but he knew that it was only one or two million, and this money was naturally nothing to Wu Hao. He didn't even think it would be too shabby.

In fact, one or two million is already a local tyrant-level team for a second-division team, of course, if you have the ambition to be promoted to the first division or the super league, then you have to invest 100 million yuan every year.

And this investment in the football club, then don't expect the team to make money, you can only say that every year try to ensure that the loss is a little less.

Take Rongcheng's sibling brother Shuangqing City's Lifan Club as an example, this club is set up by Shuangqing City's local enterprise Lifan Group, Lifan Group is a manufacturer of motorcycles and cars, but its motorcycles and cars are at the bottom, and its total assets are only about 20 billion yuan.

And his Lifan Club has been struggling in the First Division League all these years, until last year, it rushed to the Super League, which also made Shuangqing City, a hot big city in the mainland, the best ball market in the country.

In the overtaking stage, the attendance rate of each game is more than 30,000, and the maximum attendance rate is as high as more than 40,000 people, which is quite rare and rare in China.
