The summer sunset in Barcelona shines on the sensual beaches of Santa Sebastia and the white sails dotted with the Mediterranean, and the magnificent colors resemble a Picasso neoclassical painting. The gorgeous sunset, like overturned paint, sprinkled on the sky, while the sunset was like drunken wine, thrown into the water, dyeing the blue ocean into a dazzling red.

The setting sun shines on the giant statue of Columbus at the end of Ramblas, making one of Barcelona's 60-metre-tall landmarks shine so brightly.

Because of the existence of this sculpture tower, many people who do not know much about history will mistakenly think that Columbus set off from Barcelona to the distant Caribbean. In fact, 500 years ago, the Genoese Columbus of Italy went to sea far away, and his finger on the portrait sculpture pointed proudly in the direction of the Americas.

At that time, although Europeans had already believed that the earth was round, there was no concept of the Pacific Ocean, and Columbus thought that he was going to China and India, carrying with him the letters of the Queen of Spain to the Indian monarch and the Chinese emperor.

Although Christopher Columbus was not the first navigator to reach the Americas, his discovery of the Caribbean brought Europe and the Americas closer together, thus opening up the great era of European exploration and colonization of overseas territories that would continue for centuries, and the Spanish maritime empire that spanned the seas.

Christopher Columbus discovered the most economical and safest route from Europe to the Americas, and his voyages became the dividing line between medieval and modern European history, and of course, he brought the destruction of ancient civilizations and races to the New World, and made the African slave trade a lucrative business.

In the restaurant on the top floor of the W Hotel by San Sebastia Beach, Zhuo Yang, Kou Ko and Cousin Joan Laporta chatted about Columbus while enjoying the beautiful view of the sea.

Joan Laporta has been happy for a while, and Zhuo Yang, who joined Barcelona at a shocking price, won a trophy for the club in his first game, although Sandro Russell thinks the trophy is not difficult, even without Zhuo Yang is a matter of holding the handle. This was true, but it allowed Russell's impeachment to be aborted after six months, and Laporta survived the crisis.

This made Laporta very happy, otherwise with the urine nature of those members of the club, no one could guess what choice they would make.

Nowadays, professional football clubs in the world are basically divided into two types: company system and membership system, corporate clubs have owners and shareholders, players and coaches are actually employees of the club, and the vast majority of the five major league teams belong to this category.

However, at the beginning of the earliest establishment of modern football clubs, they all had the rudiments of a membership system. Everyone gets together because of their hobbies, and from time to time they get together some money to get the team running, and they talk about who to play with and who to play during the game, and that's pretty much it.

With the passage of time, such a rudimentary football club ecology gradually became outdated, so some wealthy people became the owners of the club, sole proprietorship or joint-stock football clubs have broken ground, only Spanish football has always adhered to the purest membership model.

But in 1990, due to the deterioration of the economic environment, La Liga teams were generally struggling, and it seemed that they could no longer sustain themselves, and more than half of the clubs in La Liga and La Liga submitted bankruptcy files to the government. What is this concept? Most clubs can't afford to pay their salaries and players go on strike. This is all light, if it continues to deteriorate, if these clubs go bankrupt and dissolve together, will La Liga end its life for just a few decades?

It was certainly impossible to sit idly by, and the Spanish government had enacted a new Sports Law, Article 19 of which required all professional sports clubs to change from membership to limited companies. But there is also a gap that allows the membership to be retained if the financial situation indicates that it has been profitable for three consecutive seasons.

In this wave of reform, four clubs have stood still: Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bilbao and Osasuna.

Spain's three most economically developed regions, Catalonia, Madrid, and the Basque Country, are based on Barcelona, Real Madrid and Biba, and are also the football centers of these three regions, and the good economic environment and team operation have allowed them to avoid financial deficits. As for Osasuna, although their football status in the Basque Country is not as good as that of Biba, they have been able to successfully pass the financial review of the reform because they have been operating a small family of jasper to live within their means.

FC Barcelona now has about 120,000 members, which is different from AC Milan and Juventus, and it is more appropriate to call them 'fan clubs'. The members of Barcelona and Real Madrid are not shareholders of the club, and the club does not pay dividends, and the members do not have any monetary income from the club.

After paying a membership fee of 130 euros per year, the greatest right of the member is to elect the president of the club, excluding the opportunity to buy tickets for the tournament first.

Only 120,000? It's not that fans aren't enthusiastic about becoming members, it's that the club has strict rules for admission. Taking Barcelona as an example, if you want to become a full member of Barcelona, you must be an immediate family member of the old member, and the immediate family member also has to wait in a queue, and it is said that some people have been waiting for ten years.

This rule is very easy to understand, if you open your mouth, you can become a member as long as you pay the membership fee, in case any Chinese rich person spends tens of millions on a whim to let hundreds of thousands of Chinese collectively become members, and then can easily become the chairman of the club in the election. What do you do when you see it?

The membership club is actually a non-profit organization, which belongs to all members, so the club cannot be resold, which makes many Middle Eastern oil robes waving money to buy Barcelona and Real Madrid but have no way in.

However, the biggest drawback of the membership club is that it is easy to produce internal corruption, and there are many black box operations. Therefore, to be able to survive the 'impeachment storm' safely this time, Laporta has put down a big stone in his heart.

Today he invited Zhuo Yang and Koko to dinner, but it was not for the championship, because Koko was about to start school, and he would return to Hannover early tomorrow morning, and Laporta would practice for his little cousin.

Despite the sudden change from Milan to Barcelona, Zhuo Yang still had a satisfying summer vacation, and he and Kou were together every day, and they could see each other every morning, and this happiness was irreplaceable.

The best summer will come to an end, and an even better summer will soon come.
