Chapter 1510: Ambition

PS: Thank you CZKVIPO for the tip!

Cui Zhengyuan took a turn in Hengdian and soon set off for Yangcheng, the capital of Guangdong Province.

Here, there is also an important figure waiting for him.

"Executive Cui, I'm glad to be there." The man in front of him smiled and stretched out his hand, and despite the suave appearance on the surface, the fanaticism in his eyes could not be concealed.

Looking at this man, Cui Zhengyuan was also a little moved. "Mr. Xu, I have admired my name for a long time."

The man in front of him was in his early fifties, but he seemed to be high-spirited and had a worldly wisdom.

With a soft complexion and a warm smile, he feels more like a diligent official.

But those who know his identity are all like thunder.

Xu Jiayin, one of China's most famous tycoons, owns Evergrande Group, China's top real estate company.

Of course, what can link Xu Jiayin and Cui Zhengyuan is naturally not real estate.

Although our executive director Cui Da has crossed over, he doesn't know anything about real estate. At most, it is to know where the land is going to appreciate, and to start first.

This alone cannot become a real estate predator.

The reason for the handshake between the two celebrities mainly comes from another field, and that is football.

In 2010, Xu Jiayin's Evergrande Group bought out the entire equity of Yangcheng Football Club at a price of 100 million yuan, and also obtained the naming rights of Guangzhou Automobile Group for 25 million yuan.

Since then, the Yangcheng Evergrande team, which has received a huge amount of capital injection, has begun its glorious journey.

In last year's Chinese League, the team successfully overtook four rounds ahead of schedule and also locked the first place in the league.

To be honest, when they first rushed to the Chinese Super League, Xu Jiayin and Evergrande Club were ambitious and ready to show their ambitions.

Judging by the lineup at that time. Although Evergrande is a promoted horse, they definitely belong to a strong army. There are also strong players at home and abroad such as Zhang Linpeng, Cleo, Zheng Zhi, Muric, Jiang Ning, Sun Xiang, Gao Lin, etc., who can fight with the Chinese Super League.

But the Super League is the Super League after all, and it is far from being comparable to the strength of the Chinese League.

Although this season's Chinese Super League has started so far, Evergrande has still shown the temperament of a hegemon, but the process is far from smooth.

Now that the schedule is more than halfway through, Xu Jiayin and Evergrande Club are keenly aware that the next game may be difficult to play.

But the most difficult thing to do is that Xu Jiayin is not from a football background, and he has no idea how to run a football club. And to be bigger and stronger, he has little experience.

Under such circumstances, Xu Jiayin thought of Cui Zhengyuan.

The roots of this association have to start from a long time ago.

When Cui Zhengyuan bought Manchester United, it was jointly carried out with a Chinese consortium, and the Chinese consortium was the largest shareholder.

But after winning Manchester United, the person who is mainly responsible for the club's planning is actually Cui Zhengyuan.

The main lineup that brought Manchester United back to the top of Europe was basically instructed by Choi Jung-won. And all these years. Choi Jung-won has been helping Manchester United continue to replenish the squad.

As a result, Manchester United won two Champions League titles in 2007-2008 and 2009-2010, becoming the veritable first club in European football since the new century.

Xu Jiayin is China's top richest man. has an inextricable relationship with that Chinese consortium, so naturally he knows a lot about Cui Zhengyuan's deeds.

So at this time, when he encountered a predicament, he immediately thought of Cui Zhengyuan.

Running a club in addition is not a small investment. Evergrande Group, despite having money. But it's still hard to take on it independently.

If there is another strong partner on board, it is also worth considering from the perspective of taking risks.

Cui Zhengyuan has never thought that he would be able to connect with Chinese football and Evergrande. So when I received Xu Jiayin's invitation, I was surprised.

But after the accident, ecstasy welled up in his heart.

He knew that with the coming to power, China's football environment would change dramatically and become the hottest football market in Asia.

The vast market alone, as long as it is truly developed, is equivalent to gold everywhere.

Now that he has the opportunity to intervene in this market, Cui Zhengyuan is not surprised that he is a fool. What's more, participating in Chinese football can be regarded as pleasing the big man and making C.J Group go more smoothly in China.

The two sides are willing, and naturally they came together quickly.

After the meeting with Xu Jiayin, accompanied by the boss, Cui Zhengyuan personally appeared in the stands of Tianhe Stadium to watch Evergrande's home game.

The score was 2-1 in the end, and Evergrande emerged victorious. But the process is just like what Kang Bing, the general manager of the club, introduced, Evergrande played stumbling and winning extremely difficult.

Their opponent is still a weak team like Jianye in Yu Province, if they encounter a strong team like Luneng and Guoan, it is really difficult to say whether they will win or lose.

Because of his contribution to Yangcheng football, Xu Jiayin has long become the object of love in the hearts of Evergrande fans. So he appeared in the stands and naturally attracted a lot of attention.

And the people who saw Xu Jiayin, how could they not see Cui Zhengyuan, who was always talking and laughing with him.

Whether it is a fan or a reporter, they are all surprised by the appearance of Cui Zhengyuan, and at the same time they also thought of a possibility.

The game is not over yet, and the news has been reported in eye-catching fonts on major sports websites.

Choi Jung-won, executive director of South Korea's C.J Group, executive director of A.P Company, and chairman of Manchester United Club of the English Premier League, appeared in the stands of Tianhe Stadium and had a very happy conversation with Xu Jiayin, the boss of Evergrande, and it was suspected that the cooperation was approaching.

Manchester United has a high reputation in China, and there are countless fans. So many people know that this club was jointly acquired by Chinese capital and Korean capital, and the chairman of the club is Korean.

In addition, the results of Korean football in recent years have been very good, so it makes Chinese fans feel sour.

But now Cui Zhengyuan may be going to cooperate with Yangcheng Evergrande, which will immediately make the fans of this club boil.

As long as you are a professional fan, who doesn't know Modric, Yaya. Toure, Lewandowski, Thiago. Silva, David. Silva, Gareth. Bale: These players were all brought to Manchester United by Choi Jung-won.

It is precisely with such a strong and luxurious squad that Manchester United has stepped to the top of Europe twice in a row and become the world's No. 1 football club.

Now that this god has a relationship with Yangcheng Evergrande, does it mean that his favorite club is finally about to usher in the moment of take-off?

As for the fact that Evergrande is about to become stronger, the fans of other clubs are not so happy.

For a while, there was a lot of abuse about monkeys and turtles on the Internet, which added a bit of bad excitement to Chinese football.

The speculation of the media and fans did not last long, and the day after the end of this round of the Chinese Super League, Evergrande Club officially announced that after friendly and cordial talks and consultations between the two sides, South Korea's A.Psports Company signed an agreement with Evergrande Club.

According to the terms of the agreement, A.Psports will inject 130 million yuan into Evergrande Club, becoming the second largest shareholder of the club.

At the invitation of Xu Jiayin, chairman of Evergrande Group, Mr. Cui Zhengyuan, chairman of A.Psports, will be the chairman of Evergrande Club.

Subsequently, Xu Jiayin and Cui Zhengyuan signed an agreement, and the picture of shaking hands and exchanging contracts was exposed, officially announcing the conclusion of this deal.

In the picture, Xu Jiayin's smile is particularly bright.

Many people feel that he is happy because he has found a strong partner, and Evergrande is about to reach a higher level. But only the top brass within Evergrande knew that his smile was because of Cui Zhengyuan's words.

After the agreement was signed, Choi Zhengyuan officially took office.

At the club's first high-level meeting, Cui Zhengyuan clearly pointed out the shortcomings of Evergrande.

That is, as a professional football club, it is completely unprofessional in terms of corresponding construction.

In many aspects such as the division of club functions, player management, infrastructure construction, and logistics support teams, Evergrande is all following the old domestic style, and it is completely unable to keep up with the new international form.

In response to this, Cui Zhengyuan did not point out the problem, and also came up with his measures.

In view of the lack of domestic football professionals in China, it is necessary to introduce high-level international football teams so that domestic counterparts can learn from them at close range.

It was at this meeting that Cui Zhengyuan's first sentence made all the high-level executives excited.

"If the club wants to become bigger and stronger, an advanced coaching team is essential. So bringing in a whole coaching team is the biggest preparation we have to do for next season. ”

In terms of specific candidates, Cui Zhengyuan was not ambiguous, but firmly and persistently wrote on the prompt board - Marcello. Lippi.

The people present are all people in the football circle, who would not know the name of the silver fox.

And along with the name, there are super top teams such as Juventus, Inter Milan and the Italian national team.

No one dared to imagine that such a top coach would really come to China to coach?

In the face of everyone's doubts, only Cui Zhengyuan's smile was exceptionally bright and firm.

If you are not a person who has come over, how can you know how many people Lippi was frightened when he really came to China to teach.

Not only did the champion coach come, but he brought the entire coaching team with him.

The consequence of this is that not only did the Evergrande team have the opportunity to get in touch with the world's top and professional training, but also learned what the real football logistics look like.

If the Evergrande team, which has piled up money, regards the league championship as a bag, then the arrival of Lippi and his coaching team has made the AFC Champions League champion settle in China for the first time. (To be continued......)
