Chapter 3 (15)

The weather on the plateau can be unpredictable at times. When the team members came to the playground just now, the warm sun was still hanging red overhead, but when everyone stretched their waists and arms to do the warm-up activities under the leadership of the assistant coach, they gathered on the track one after another, ready to start the endless running laps, the sky suddenly darkened, and when people looked up in surprise to find the reason, the silky and slender rain gently smashed on people's faces.

The assistant coach didn't even turn around to ask You Shen's opinion, and waved his hand to let the players run: "Jog." ”

Both coaches and players are accustomed to this weather phenomenon. The drizzle did not hinder their training, and there was no water on the ground, and sometimes the rain stopped silently before even the shoulders were soaked. Of course, sometimes it will be sprinkled all day to water the earth carefully, but the scene after the rain has stopped also makes people feel renewed, the lawn in the playground and the neat low shrubs on both sides of the road will be filled with deep greenery, even the air will fade away from the turbidity, become fresh and refreshing, and the mood of the people will become lighter - they have been in this small base for many days, the poor accommodation in the base, the same bad food, and the monotonous running circles day after day, At this time, people always consciously or unconsciously yearn for some changes in their surroundings, even if this change does not really change their situation, but it will also make people feel relieved and relaxed mentally......

Wei Honglin, who was sandwiched in the middle of the team, was talking about something seriously, and there were several guys gathered around him; There were already a few chuckles in the ranks; There are also people laughing and scolding Wei Honglin with vulgar swear words.

Even You Shen, who was standing on the side of the runway with his hands behind his back, had a slight smile on his face. While watching the players jog rhythmically with much more energetic steps than usual, he lit cigarettes with the two assistant coaches, and whispered all kinds of interesting things that had happened in the base in the past two days.

The provincial city of Mingyuan Club, which has just been formed, is proud of its wealth, and wants to leave a generous image of a good owner for all the players, and thinks that it is smart to charter a unit guest house outside the base ** kilometers, but it is always tossed back and forth every day, not to mention, and always because of being late and unable to find a suitable training venue, so it has to travel all day long to fight guerrillas; But most of the other clubs don't want to deal with them because they break the rules, and their own players complain because they can't train systematically, and the provincial city of Mingyuan has to beg the Football Association to come out to play a round to see if the Football Association can come forward to coordinate and solve their practical difficulties. How could the shrewd Football Association offend the public for this matter, and the sentence "This matter is not within the purview of the Football Association" sent President Mingyuan away. There was no way, the provincial city of Mingyuan had to rent a simple teahouse outside the gate of the base, from the boss to the players, everyone collectively laid the floor, so that the problem was finally solved - now they can finally seize the time to grab speed and share a training ground with others......

"Look at it, Mingyuan's hard days are not over yet!" The goalkeeper coach said with confidence, "I heard that the president of Mingyuan had a treat in the city of Kunming the night before yesterday, but only four clubs sent people to the banquet, and the highest level was only a vice president. He glanced at the Mingyuan people who were standing together to speak, and lowered his voice, "The bosses of Shanghai Taixing and Sichuan Hongsheng have already said cruel things in private, and they want to teach Mingyuan a lesson." There is also Tianjin High-tech ......"

You Shen nodded with the assistant coach. Most of the time this is not a rumor. Sichuan Hongsheng and Shanghai Taixing have international players poached by the provincial city of Mingyuan, and Tianjin High-tech spent a lot of effort after the end of last season, and finally drummed up two players from other clubs to apply for transfers, who knew that Mingyuan was intercepted and killed from the halfway, not to mention the large amount of public relations fees that went in, and also offended the two clubs to death, and at the end of the year, they did not get a little benefit, and now I am afraid that it is possible to eat the heart of the boss of Mingyuan alive.

The assistant coach glanced at Mr. Mingyuan, who was warming up with his hands, pouted, and said, "These are all guys with no eyesight!" I have a few stinky money in my pocket, and I can't wait to buy it even for the day! He laughed as he spoke, and said, "I'm afraid I don't know how I died." I have met many acquaintances this day, and when it comes to Mingyuan, there is no one who hates it! ”

That's for sure! All the clubs in the first A plus all the clubs in the first class B, maybe there are also B clubs with some ideas, and none of the clubs are willing to say good things for the provincial city of Mingyuan for even half a month. Because Mingyuan broke the rules and crossed the rule that everyone tacitly knew to each other - they unscrupulously used money to recruit players, and it was a clear price!

Yes, everyone admits that if you want to recruit a good player, you have to take the money out and smash it, because there are not many good players these days, this is an undeniable fact. Every club holds its good players in their hands like baby bumps, for fear of bumping into them, and even more afraid that someone outside will throw a candy and throw a pear to hook up, but whenever a player has a requirement to put forward a condition, as long as it is not so out of line, the club can meet their wishes, such as solving the player's household registration problem, giving them a set of housing, or helping to find a fixed job for the player's family, and finding a reputable kindergarten school for the child...... It's all a trivial matter that doesn't cost a few dollars, and the club is a personal favor, and it seems that it cares about its subordinates; The players' practical problems have been solved, and they are closer to the club, not to mention, even their families will be grateful to the club. The difference between the main players and the non-main players is also reflected in these little things. If you raise your salary and bonuses every year, give you some nutritional supplements during the holidays, and organize family members to travel from time to time, the club will be more like a professional sports team, which is also a way of life that the players are familiar with. It is especially worth mentioning that these things with a strong human touch can bring everyone's hearts together, and the team is easy to manage.

But the provincial city is different! This Mingyuan summer in the second division of the league on a big fanfare, the team of a few former internationals who are about to retire to get more money than the top three clubs in the first three clubs of the current internationals, which immediately led to the whole league chickens and dogs, player wages rose across the board, there are several first-class clubs last season player salary bonus expenditure almost quadrupled compared with the previous year, the financial statements are ugly and messy. Now the provincial city of Mingyuan is once again in front of the clubs of the first A, and once again set an example for other clubs......

You Shen listened to the two assistants complaining, and at the same time smiled as the team members ran past him, and after the last group of team members passed, he also nodded and said hello to several officials from Mingyuan. He also heard their memories of the simple and beautiful life they had in the past—something he often recalled—but he did not express his opinion on what the provincial city of Mingyuan had done.

Because he felt that there was nothing wrong with the provincial city of Mingyuan's approach.

What is the number one meaning of the Pro League? It's the professionalism of the league! What is League Professionalization? It is to let the market decide the survival and direction of the league. So what is the market for professional leagues? Capital and audience! "Capital" comes in front of "audience". The first thing that professional leagues attract is not the audience, but the capital. This kind of capital refers to those who regard football as an "emerging" industry in China, and it is not the kind of capital that uses football as a platform and then relies on policy and publicity advantages to develop other industries. From this point of view, the capital that initially entered the professional league was still at the level of spending money on advertising, and they only used the league and clubs as a carrier for advertising, and gradually began to use the league and the team to seek policy benefits for themselves after gradually tasting the sweetness, so the major shareholders of these clubs are still not capital in the usual sense, they are just sponsors of a different title. In fact, even Mingyuan, the most hated provincial city at the moment, cannot be regarded as capital, but they obviously have the rudiments of capital - Mingyuan people already know how to use policies to desperately grab resources for themselves, although the means are a bit despicable...... He does not deny that the more clubs like Mingyuan, the better, and they will inject more money into this market, and the abundant funds can push the league and the level of competition to a higher level. Of course, the profit-seeking nature of capital also determines that the first thing it does when it enters this market is to use policy advantages - or loopholes - to grasp the means of production to the maximum extent and maximize the benefits that can be obtained; In the league, the means of production refer to the players. In this case, the influx of capital will inevitably bring a bad consequence - money will be used as the first benchmark to measure the value of the player, and the rapid accumulation of money will also bring ethical confusion and loss to the player. He is also at a loss for this evil consequence that will definitely surface in the near future, and can only pin his hopes on the self-discipline of the players, and on the correct guidance of the Football Association, clubs, and society and many other aspects. But he also knows that he is just wishful thinking, and many clubs have seen players and clubs shouting, and those guys have a little bit of things that don't go their way, and they often threaten the club with a strike or even a boycott, and they have repeatedly succeeded.

Therefore, he felt that the provincial city of Mingyuan's approach was wrong. Mingyuan people are too anxious, and they are eager to grab resources by unscrupulous means before the players and the club are not psychologically prepared, which will lay a huge bane for the future league.

He looked at Mingyuan's boss with some pity, this fat man probably didn't know what he had done, right?

Mr. Mingyuan ended the conversation with the person next to him and walked over, looking probably ready to chat with him.

The topic started with the physical training of the two teams, then the poor accommodation and food conditions of the Haigeng base, and finally the second division a few months ago. It can be seen that Mingyuan's fat boss is not afraid to talk about the embarrassment of his team, nor does he avoid the mistakes he made in football and club management, he can even joke about sleeping on the floor of the teahouse at night, and exchange various insights about sleeping on the floor with the two assistant coaches who were talking about him behind his back just now. I have to say that his demeanor and bearing are still very impressive.

"Remember you have one of my little fellows on your team? It's called Gao Jinsong, right? The fat boss said happily, "You guys are fast enough." After the end of the second division, we have been contacting him, but at that time, whether we can enter the first A is still between the two, so I didn't care too much. As he spoke, he had already seen the three Yafeng coaches exchanging glances, and quickly explained to himself, "I don't mean anything else, I just mentioned him in passing." As you all know, our provincial football team has long been disbanded, and most of the people in the team have long since abandoned football to do other things, and there is only one He Ying among the remaining players who can play football except Gao Jinsong. He Ying was originally our team member, but later failed to keep it for various reasons, he went to Chongqing, and now he is also the main player of Chongqing Green Maple. We are thinking about hanging a 'provincial city' but there is no member of the provincial team, it is really not a thing, so we hit Gao Jinsong's idea, but unfortunately this side of the matter has an eyebrow, Gao Jinsong represents you Hubei to participate in the national league......"

You Shen also smiled: "It's impossible to transfer, why don't you lend him to you?" ”

The fat boss turned his face to look at the team members who were wheezing on the runway, and said very happily: "Okay, you can make a price for you." ”

"Five hundred thousand. When the transfer window reopens in the summer, you will get another 500,000, and Gao Jinsong will be your person. ”

The two assistant coaches shifted uneasily. They could tell that You Shen was not joking when he said this. However, selling Gao Jinsong for one million is a worthwhile business no matter how you say it.

The fat boss also smiled and thought for a while: "200,000 leases, and 800,000 in the summer." ”

You Shen smiled. At first glance, the fat boss's words seemed to approve his offer of one million, but as long as he thought about it a little, he could understand that Mingyuan people still had the idea that the goods were not in the right way. He shook his head and rejected the fat boss's suggestion. 200,000 rental fees? Don't say he doesn't agree, even if he agrees, Wu Xingguang, the general manager of Yafeng, can't agree, and Gao Jinsong gave 300,000 yuan when he signed the contract.

"500,000 can be loaned to a player who has won both the Ballon d'Or and the Golden Boot in the national league, and you can also have the right of first refusal to buy that player." You caution reminds opponents that the Mingyuan club is not actually at a loss in this business, although the quality of both titles is very doubtful.

"300,000 for the first time." The fat boss, amused by him, gave in slightly. This is actually a signal, if You Shen really wants to make this business happen, then Yafeng should reduce the rental fee to between 350,000 and 400,000, this price is acceptable to Mingyuan.

"Five hundred thousand." It seems that You Shen is not a qualified businessman.

The fat boss narrowed his eyes with a smile, and agreed one after another: "Okay! I believe in the vision of You Guide, according to the price you said! 500,000 is 500,000! I went back and talked to the other bosses of the club, and found an opportunity for the two of us to sit down for a meal and talk slowly. ”

You Shen also said cheerfully: "Okay." ”

Instead, the goalkeeper coach came down and asked You Shen: "Do you really want to loan Gao Jinsong to Mingyuan?" ”

You Shen looked at the goalkeeper coach strangely. Didn't this guy see that he had a bad talk with Mingyuan's fat boss? A lease fee of 500,000 yuan, can that money be counted as a matter in Mingyuan's eyes? Even if it's a thing, there were several big names in Mingyuan at the side of the venue at that time, and they still need the fat boss to go back to them to discuss? This is obviously a prevarication.

However, if Mingyuan really took out 500,000 yuan to lease Gao Jinsong, You Shen didn't know whether he should agree or disagree. But one thing he knows very well is that there are really 500,000 in front of him, and Wu Xingguang and Yafeng Club will definitely agree to this deal. Who would give up the opportunity to make money by changing hands?

Until noon, this rare winter rain still did not show the meaning of a star to stop, and the thin rain was carried by the breeze blowing from time to time, and it was fluttering drippingly. Intermittent droplets of water began to drip down the tiles sticking out of the eaves. The paved roads were completely soaked with rainwater, and palm-sized puddles were beginning to appear in some of the sunken places. Occasionally, three or two tourists will walk along the lake's edge. A young man affectionately embraces his lover and poses to stand by the lake for a photo of them. Near the shore there is also a painting boat, the boatman wears a hat and a robe, standing at the stern of the boat babbling and rocking the oar, at first glance it looks quite simple and ancient, but the occasional dazzling arc light on the side of the boat tears this scene to pieces. Further afield, the famous ancient pagoda diagonally opposite became blurry and hazy in the mist and mist. Pedestrians, trees, painting boats, stone towers, lakes beyond, and shadowy boats and landscapes are all gently swept into the painting by this drizzle......

Gao Jinsong is now sitting in a small teahouse by the Dianchi Lake, waiting for the three young men and women who were taking pictures by the lake just now to walk towards him.

When the group approached, he stood up to greet them, even if the three had only just taken a few pictures in the drizzle. He smiled at them only when he was dealing with his loved ones, and his smile was full of care, affection and deep affection.

Both women were his sisters. Walking in front is the second sister Gao Xia, and holding hands with her is He Yingying's sister He Yingying. He Yingying is more than half a head taller than Gao Xia, and her skeleton is much larger, but it is very well-proportioned, and that young man is naturally He Yingying's boyfriend Yin Guangyan. What's funnier is that if He Yingying hadn't been wearing a pair of flat-soled casual cloth shoes, she might have been taller than her boyfriend.

It was Gao Jinsong's idea to let Gao Xia and He Yingying come to Kunming. His reasons are very good, the first is that they are now on winter vacation, and they don't have the burden of vacation homework in college, so if they don't go around, eat and drink, isn't it a loss? Second, this is the last vacation of their university life, and if they don't hurry up, it will be difficult to find such a calm opportunity after graduation and work; Third, the two of them hadn't seen each other for several years, so they took it as a brother's wish to let them get together; Fourth, and most importantly, who taught them both to have a good time to make money now? The right should be filial to the old lady! The most important one is that he happened to be given ten days off because of a fractured shoulder blade, just in time to spend with the two of them.

In the face of such a good reason, what else can He Ying say except nod? However, he still followed Gao Jinsong's idea to make some plans for himself, and stuffed the female college student he knew in Chongqing into this tour group, and took the trouble to ask for leave from the club on the grounds that his relatives came to Kunming to visit relatives. He has the identity of the main force, and he belongs to the players who can pass the 12-minute test with absolute ease, so the club naturally granted him three days off.

As soon as He Yingying sat down, she took a teacup and drank water, and found that the tea was cold and spit out, so she called the waiter to come over to change the tea, and asked in a babbling voice: "Where did He Ying die?" Why haven't you come yet? Are you going to do bad things again? "It seems that this is a woman with a big grin.

Gao Jinsong hurriedly swallowed the almonds in his mouth and replied to He Yingying's words: "Maybe you're still rowing." He had always been in awe of He Yingying, and if you could trace it back to the roots, this awe may have come from a fight he witnessed when he was a teenager: He Yingying drove a little famous hooligan near her home two blocks away......

"We're going boating too." He Yingying immediately said happily to her boyfriend.

Yin Guangyan was wiping the rain from his glasses with a velvet cloth, and said embarrassedly: "It's still raining." But he immediately changed his tune and said, "Okay, I'll go charter a boat." However, he still signaled He Yingying with his eyes, and snubbed the two sisters and brothers of the Gao family who were not very polite.

Gao Jinsong waved his hand and said it was fine, and claimed that the injury on his back did not allow him to do strenuous exercises such as rowing.

Gao Xia didn't want to go boating either. From yesterday to now, she hasn't found the time to talk to her brother properly. If you are serious about it, this is the first time that the siblings have met in more than three years.

So Yin Guangyan, who was a little reluctant, had no choice but to rent a boat with the elated He Yingying.

Gao Xia immediately couldn't wait to ask his younger brother, what incredible things had happened to him in the past half a year? This question has been in her heart for too long, she has asked the eldest sister about it many times, but the eldest sister can't say it clearly at all, and when asked about his younger brother, Gao Jinsong's explanation is always as if he is making up a story to lie to her, what football, what league, it seems that the football professional league is like a mountain of gold, as long as he wants, he can go there at any time to take a large piece of gold home, and then he can lie on it to eat and wear without worry......

Gao Jinsong had no choice but to describe his experience in the past half a year to the second sister.

“…… That's it, by mistake, I'm now a player at Wuhan Yafeng Club. He refilled his and his second sister's teacups with boiling water, and continued, "He Ying is also a professional player now. However, his Chongqing Green Maple is a B team, and my Wuhan Yafeng is a A A team. ”

Gao Xia fans stared at Gao Jinsong with two big eyes, as if they were looking at a stranger. She couldn't believe what he was saying until now, it was as if she were in a bizarre dream. She never thought that such a twisted and bizarre story would happen to her brother, let alone that a person's fate would change dramatically under such an accidental circumstances. She couldn't help but wonder if the tall young man in front of her was still her familiar brother. But she was immediately amused by her suspicions—it was her brother, of course, and how could she have come here to listen to this wonderful story?

She quickly thought of something and asked him, "Then you won't go back to the provincial capital in the future?" What should I do with my account? ”

Gao Jin froze. He had never thought about the hukou. Yes, he is now in Wuhan and has participated in national sports events on behalf of Hubei, but his hukou is still in the provincial capital, and this small matter, which does not seem to be a problem at the moment, may bring him a series of unnecessary troubles in the future. He thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "The club should have a charter. If I behave well, the club can take care of this for me. He immediately thought of a more convenient solution. I can buy a house in Wuhan, so that my hukou can fall to Wuhan as long as I want. ”

He immediately remembered something else. If it weren't for the mention of buying a house and getting a hukou, he might have forgotten about it.

He told his second sister about the new house he bought in the county, and explained to him in detail why the house was written in his name. "I originally planned to buy a house for you and your eldest sister, but the time was a bit tight at that time, so I had to record it in my name first, and when we returned for the Spring Festival, we would go through the procedures for the transfer." He already knows the rules of A A's winter training, and there are generally about ten days of vacation during the Spring Festival, which is enough time for him to go back to go through the procedures, and the only thing he is worried about is that he will not meet the government departments that handle this kind of procedures when the time comes.

Gao Xia didn't expect her younger brother to be so thoughtful, and her tears immediately welled up. Growing up, she hardly cared about her brother, partly because he spent most of his time playing football in regional and provincial towns, and partly because she cherished her studies so much that it was not until her father died and she went to university that she gradually realized how good her brother was to her - almost half of the money he earned was used for her education. This made her even more ashamed. She suddenly remembered that her eldest sister had told him that in order to save money for a meal, her brother would rather work for a few more hours at the place where he worked for the free dinner. Thinking about the sacrifice her brother made for her, thinking about the eldest sister taking care of her father and pulling her two nephews at the same time, and maintaining their family with that scheming brother-in-law, she was almost in pain......

Seeing the second sister sitting there wiping her tears vigorously, Gao Jinsong hurriedly persuaded her: "Sister, someone is watching the mile ......" He couldn't understand why she was crying for a while, let alone how to comfort her.

Gao Xia simply lay on the square table and cried.

Some people were already pointing in this direction, and many of them had looks of disdain and disgust on their faces. In their opinion, if a young woman cries so sadly, then that young man must be responsible, even if it is inconvenient for them to express their ambiguous thoughts on such occasions, but their eyes can also reveal that they are very fond of the speculation of the dark side of human nature in their hearts.

Gao Jinsong stared angrily at the guys who were speculating indiscriminately, wondering if he could find a way to beat them all up. As soon as this terrible thought came to my mind, it immediately rushed upwards like a flame pouring over it. Now it's up to the guy who doesn't have long eyes to hit his fist!

Fortunately, at this time, He Ying came back with his girlfriend. He saved the guys who were about to be unlucky, and he also saved Gao Jinsong, who was likely to stay in the police station for a few days.

He Ying's girlfriend immediately comforted Gao Xia in a delicate way unique to women, and He Ying also stopped Gao Jinsong, who stood up and was about to fight, and interrogated two sentences about the matter, and then he also rolled up his sleeves and picked up a wooden stool.

"Don't do their business." Gao Xia wiped her tears while quickly exonerating those guys. She knew that the two brothers would not be able to fight to their deaths, and that the ones who watched the hilarious scene did not seem to be able to withstand their beatings. "It's my own heart that is uncomfortable." When he finished speaking, he sobbed and cried again.

This made Gao Jinsong, who was holding back the fire, and He Ying, who was eager to try, look at each other, and they couldn't decide whether to fight or not for a while.

To fight or not to fight? He Ying asked Gao Jinsong with his eyes.

Never mind. Gao Jinsong sat back in his chair in frustration.

The two of them sat and sat for a long time, and He Ying realized that there were two people missing: "What about my sister?" He didn't ask where Yin Guangyan went. That guy's white appearance makes him tired, and he raises his glasses all day long, doesn't he want to show off how much he reads and is a master's student! He privately said a lot of bad things about that guy in front of his sister, but it didn't work. One day he'll have to find an excuse to pick him up!

"The boat went." Gao Jinsong said.

He Ying immediately instructed his girlfriend to go to the lake to have a look, and specially explained: "Remember to look carefully to see if there is a young man with glasses floating on the water." This drew him several punches.

Gao Jinsong was also amused by him, and teased him: "As for it, there is so much hatred? Isn't he whiter than you? "He originally wanted to say that he was handsome, but because He Ying was more taboo about others saying this, he turned his mouth when the words came to his lips." Doesn't I think he's good to you and to your sister? Your sister said yesterday that your parents agreed......"

He Ying pursed the corners of his mouth and snorted in his nose: "That person is not authentic!" ”

Gao Jinsong looked at him for a while, and then changed the topic: "You said last time that Director Shen wanted to change rooms, is there any follow-up?" ”

"I'm asking people all over the world, it's hard to find the right one......"
