He came in a car right away. Let's wait here for him for a while. Xia Xueqing said.

"He's already a handful of years old, so we should go and look for him." Liu Tao said.

"It's the same. He now lives in the provincial capital, not far from our home. I reckon it would take him about three hours to get here. Xia Xueqing looked at the time and said.

"We can't spend three hours waiting here, can we? Why don't you get down to business first and discuss with Tangshan about the promotion of DPCA Motors. I went to Wanshan's company to take a look around, and by the way, I selected the wool that needed to participate in the test. Liu Taojian said.

"Good. See you in one minute. Xia Xueqing nodded.

Then Liu Tao left the office building and came to the nearby Guowei Building.

Soon, he appeared in front of Hu Wanshan.

At this moment, Hu Wanshan was sitting in front of the computer watching the news, and when he saw Liu Tao coming in, he quickly stood up.

"Don't be so nervous! Do whatever you need to do. Liu Tao said.

"I'm not busy with anything! It's just watching the news. Hu Wanshan replied.

"It's good to watch the news. Sometimes useful information can be found in the news. The old secretary of the first village of Huaxia Kingdom got the first pot of gold in his life after hearing the news. I came to you to select a batch of wool for audition. Liu Tao said.

"Wool is in the warehouse now? Shall I take you over or will I have my men pick a batch and send it over? Hu Wanshan asked.

"It's okay to have them send it over. You ask them to pick fifty pieces of wool and send them here. Liu Tao said.

"Okay." Hu Wanshan immediately complied.

In a short time, fifty pieces of wool were delivered. After Liu Tao observed them one by one with the eye of the sky, he recorded the valuations one by one. In addition, he wrote the number on each piece of wool so that it would not be mistaken.

After these were all completed, he handed the recorded number to Hu Wanshan and said, "You can keep these wool materials and numbers properly, and Sister Xueqing will come and pick them up." ”

"Yes." Hu Wanshan nodded.

"By the way, Wanshan, what do you think of the domestic football league? I'm talking about the men's team. Liu Tao asked.

"One word: stinky! Two words: it stinks! Three words: it stinks! Hu Wanshan said without hesitation. Hu Wanshan is a true fan, and there are usually important events. He won't miss it.

"It seems that everyone's evaluation of the Chinese men's football team is unanimous. I'm ready to buy a football club in an island city. What do you think? Liu Tao asked.

"Isn't it? Boss, when did you become interested in football? I haven't heard you talk about football before. Hu Wanshan asked with some surprise.

"I just want to buy a team to play with. Isn't it a popular tyrant to engage in football now! It is said that the poor play hanging, the rich play, and the local tyrants love to play football. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"I used to think about having a team. But I have a headache when I think about the money I want to invest. Now if you want to build a decent team, you don't have to think about it without hundreds of millions of funds. You also know that all my previous net worth was only a few hundred million. Hu Wanshan said.

"I'm ready to come up with three billion. If that's not enough, I can add some of my investment. With this money, I believe that the team will definitely achieve very good results. Liu Tao said confidently.

"Boss, are you planning to compete with Shu Da's boss? People are also in real estate. If the two sides are competitive. If you can't keep it up, the other party will also make additional investments. It's really not certain who will win the championship then. Hu Wanshan said with some worry.

"I'm looking forward to his additional investment. Not only him, it is better to have more local tyrants involved. In this way, the domestic football league can soon be upgraded to more than one notch. Liu Tao said with some disapproval.

"There are indeed a lot of local tyrants in China now. It's just that everyone knows that football is a bottomless pit, so there are very few people who are willing to invest a lot of money now. Of course, if you and Shu Da are willing to invest heavily in the team, I believe many people will follow suit. After all, football is a very good means of publicity for businesses. Hu Wanshan said.

"Yes." Liu Tao nodded and said, "I'll go see someone first." I'll tell you when the team buys it. ”

"Okay." Hu Wanshan said.

Then, Liu Tao returned to Xia Xueqing.

"Is Mr. Zhu here?" Liu Tao asked.

"Not yet." Xia Xueqing shook her head and said, "I called Guò just now. It will take about fifteen minutes. ”

"I hope Mr. Zhu can agree to go out of the mountain." Liu Tao said.

"Haven't you always been confident? Why do you look a little unconfident now? Xia Xueqing quipped.

"Am I not confident? I don't think so. I believe that as long as he shows sincerity, Mr. Zhu will definitely be willing to go out of the mountain. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhu is also very eager to meet a master. If you can give him enough power, then I'm sure he'll surprise you. Xia Xueqing said.

"He's the coach of the team, as long as it's related to the game, it's definitely what he says. As for the general manager of the club, I am ready to let you be. A beautiful general manager like you will definitely attract a lot of people's attention, and it will also be great for the team's publicity. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"No problem. I have known Mr. Zhu for so many years, and we can talk to each other very well. I'm definitely not going to interfere with his management of the team. Xia Xueqing readily agreed.

"After I negotiate with him, I will take him to the island city to talk to the big boss of the football club. Let the other party sell the team to me. Liu Tao said.

"Now this team is so bad that it is estimated that it is not even worth 100 million. Of course, there are still so many players in the team, even if they play averagely. But the salary still has to be paid. Xia Xueqing said.

"Those who are valuable can stay, and those who are worthless are all terminated. I will ask Mr. Zhu to make a list of players I like, and then buy all of them. Liu Tao said.

"I wonder if Mr. Zhu will let you buy the gang of the national football team? To be honest, those guys kicked really average. If it were powerful, the national football team would have entered the World Cup long ago. If possible, it's a good idea to get a couple of better players from abroad. With these good players, it's also good news for the national players. After all, train with the masters. The speed of improvement is still very fast. Xia Xueqing built yì said.

"No!" Liu Tao shook his head and said: "What I want to build is not only a league team, but also a team that represents Huaxia in the World Cup!" Are foreigners still allowed to participate in the World Cup?! The answer is no. As long as they run in smoothly in the course of the league, then there will naturally be no big mistakes when participating in the World Cup. ”

"Isn't it? I really didn't expect your idea to be so long-term. Although these players in the domestic league are not bad, there are still some players in the national team who participate in foreign leagues. The level of those people is still a grade higher than that of these players in China. Are you calling these people back too? Xia Xueqing asked.

"Nope." Liu Tao shook his head. "Since they like to play abroad so much, they just need to stay abroad. I don't care how good they are, I don't think it will be long before there is no way to compare with the players I bought! ”

"I said Ah Tao, you are simply bursting with self-confidence now! Full of positive energy! I really want to know how you're going to train these players? Could it be that you plan to teach them the cultivation exercises? Let them become cultivators too? Xia Xueqing asked with interest.

"They are not qualified to become cultivators yet. I will transform their bodies. Let their bodies withstand ninety minutes of play. Compared with those blacks, there is still a big gap between the Chinese people's physique. Liu Tao said.

"It's true. You see the running ability of those black people, it's almost like a machine qì people. On the other hand, if you look at the players in our country, basically playing half the game is already tired and panting. If the physical problem can be solved, the strength of the national football team can be improved by at least two grades. Xia Xueqing deeply agrees with this.

"Transforming the body doesn't just strengthen their physical fitness. And it can also make them improve all aspects of their suzhì in an all-round way. The reflexes will also improve quickly. Of course, the cooperation between the players and the intensity of training are also necessary. If the players don't work hard, even if they have high physical conditions, it will be in vain. Liu Tao said.

"Now the domestic players are pampered, and there are really not many who really play well." Xia Xueqing nodded and said.

"I will support the players who train hard and play seriously. For those players who hang around all day long, have no ability and feel that they are very big, I will definitely not be soft. I believe that not only me, but even Mr. Zhu will definitely not tolerate such a player. A team doesn't rely on one or two top stars to win. Football matches are about team cooperation, as long as the cooperation is good. Even without the top stars, you can still win. Portugal have top stars, but so what? It's so hard to get a win. Liu Tao said.

"Yes! I'm really looking forward to you buying this team's first game right now. Xia Xueqing's eyes were full of anticipation.

At this time, Xia Xueqing's mobile phone rang.

The call was made by Zhu Xiaoming.

He's already in Binjiang City, and he's downstairs.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Tao and Xia Xueqing went downstairs to pick him up.

Xia Xueqing said hello to the other party, and then introduced Liu Tao to the other party.

"I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be so young. Xue Qing told me on the phone that you want to buy a team, I don't know which one you have your eye on? Zhu Xiaoming asked while looking Liu Tao up and down.

"Mr. Zhu, it's windy here, let's go to the office and sit down and talk." Liu Tao did not answer the other party's question, and said.

"Okay." Zhu Xiaoming nodded.

Then, the group of three came to Xia Xueqing's president's office.

"Uncle Zhu. Please drink tea. Xia Xueqing personally made a cup of tea for the other party.

"There's no need to be so polite. Let's get down to business. Zhu Xiaoming said with a smile.

"Yes. Let's get down to business first. Xia Xueqing said as she sat down next to Liu Tao.

"Mr. Liu, can you now answer the question I just asked?" Zhu Xiaoming asked with a smile.

"The team I want to buy is the Island City FC that you used to coach." Liu Tao replied.

"Why did you buy this team? There are basically no good players in this team now, and the whole league is also at the bottom. Now halfway through the season, they are in the bottom of the table. It seems that this year's relegation is already a foregone conclusion. Zhu Xiaoming said.

"I'm from Binjiang, so I want to buy a hometown team. Mr. Zhu, I bought this team just to buy an empty shell. When you become manager, I'll ask you to make a list of players you want and I'll buy them. Liu Tao said.

"What you said is true?" Zhu Xiaoming's pitch suddenly rose an octave.

"Of course it's true. It's just to buy a few players, and you don't need to write empty checks, right? Liu Tao said with a smile.

"How many? If you want to buy it. At the very least, buy eighteen to twenty. Zhu Xiaoming said.

"Twenty doesn't cost much. Mr. Zhu, I also have requirements for players, and they can only be domestic players. Liu Tao said.

"I didn't expect you to buy players from abroad. Besides, the cost of twenty top domestic players is not small. Zhu Xiaoming said.

"Even if it's 20 million for a player, it's just 400 million. I've got three billion for the team, and I can add them if it's not enough. Liu Tao said nonchalantly.

"Three billion? OMG! Even if you buy all the players of the national team, it won't cost so much money. Of course, this amount of money is still a lot worse than those giants in the five major leagues. Zhu Xiaoming exclaimed.

"If you think you can, we'll leave for Island City now. I'm hoping to buy the team today. Liu Tao said.

"It's still unknown whether the other party will sell or not. Even if the other party is willing to sell, the two sides will definitely have to negotiate the price. I'm afraid it won't work today, at least half a month. Zhu Xiaoming said.

"For me, time is money. We're going to do it now, and I'm sure we'll be able to do it today. Liu Tao stood up as he spoke.

Zhu Xiaoming saw that he was so confident, so naturally he didn't say anything, and he also stood up.

Then Liu Tao drove Zhu Xiaoming to the island city.

On the way, Liu Tao called Fang Baichuan and asked the other party to say hello to the boss behind the club.

Although Fang Baichuan didn't know what the young master wanted to do, since the young master had opened his mouth, he could only do it immediately.

After he made an appointment with the boss behind the scenes, he called Liu Tao and told the other party the news.

Liu Tao asked Fang Baichuan to wait for them at the agreed place in advance. They'll be there in a moment.

After about half an hour, Liu Tao and Zhu Xiaoming came to a five-star hotel that Fang Baichuan had made an appointment with each other. (To be continued.) )
