Chapter 2: Raising Funds

Since God has given this opportunity, it is better to simply make a club, because Jingyang's mind thought of one thing that will happen in the next year, that is, Parma went bankrupt due to financial problems and was forced to be relegated to the Italian Amateur League D, and there was no owner for a long time, and just before the rebirth, Parma rushed back to Serie A again, Jingyang liked Parma very much in his previous life, Parma could be said to be very strong back then, but he met a few unreliable presidents, This traditional powerhouse has gotten into the amateur league.

Promoted to the First Division in the 1990s, the league's best result was second. In Europe, the team has won four European trophies: the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1992-93, the UEFA Super Cup in 1993 and two UEFA Cups in 1994-95 and 1998-99.

Parma's European honours are the most successful of any Italian team outside of the top three in the North (Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus).

After 2003, due to management problems, the team's performance was not as good as before. On April 30, 2015, in the 33rd round of Serie A, Parma lost 0-4 to Lazio, 16 points behind the bottom 4th Atalanta in league points, and was relegated to Serie B ahead of schedule.

On March 19, 2015, the Italian court officially declared Parma bankrupt. On July 1, the new Parma Club was inaugurated, named Parma 1913. The name is a tribute to the legacy of the old Parma club.

So Jingyang plans not to be in a hurry, just use this year's time, to raise enough funds, and now he still has a card with 300,000 euros in hand, which is also the compensation left by Marco Jingyang's parents, this Brazilian world is an opportunity, if the operation is good, the money can be at least 100 times multiplied, and then use these funds to make his own old online games, Jingyang knows which games will be popular in the next four years.

With enough capital and capital, you can wait for Parma to acquire after relegation, after all, there is an FM system that you don't have to worry about losing money, you can rely on the foresight of the system to dig up some unknown talented players, Jingyang is confident that Parma can regain the glory of the year again!

Jingyang doesn't have to worry about being noticed by the betting company, after all, the annual World Cup alone has tens of billions of funds in Europe alone, and Jingyang's plan is to bet on ten different countries according to his own memory, so that this money is not worth mentioning in the eyes of these capital predators.

Time is running out to hurry up and fly to Brazil, soon Jingyang flew to Brazil, found a hotel to live in, and began to choose ten countries of the company's betting website, after looking at the group grouping, there is no change.

Group A: Brazil. Mexico, Croatia, Cameroon.

Group B: Netherlands, Chile, Spain, Australia.

Group C: Colombia, Greece, Côte d'Ivoire, Japan.

Group D: Costa Rica, Uruguay, Italy, England.

Group E: France, Switzerland, Ecuador, Honduras.

Group F: Argentina, Nigeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iran.

Group G: Germany, USA, Portugal, Ghana.

Group H: Belgium, Algeria, Russia, South Korea

And there are still some upsets in the group stage of this World Cup, such as Mexico in Group A, Chile in Group B, and Chile in Group B are unpopular and actually beat Spain to qualify, Group C is almost the same strength, and the odds are not high, Jingyang did not bet, Costa Rica and Uruguay in Group D can be said to be big upsets, and Italy and England are actually beating out of the group, Group E and Group F are meaningless, Group G The United States beat Portugal to qualify, and Group H Algeria is considered an upset.

Jingyang divided 300,000 into ten parts of ten accounts, and began to bet a few days later after the end of the group stage, Jingyang's funds have now reached 3 million euros, which has increased tenfold, and in the next one-eighth of the finals, Jingyang did not choose all this time for fear of being noticed, and secondly, he was not guilty of arousing suspicion for some small profits, Jingyang bet on the eighths of the final, Costa Rica scored in the second half, and Greece tied the penalty shootout in the 90th minute Costa Rica victory, and the first game began Brazil vs. Chile, Luiz scored a 1:1 penalty at the end of the game!

In foreign companies, it is possible to press the goals of both sides and the time of the goal, the first game of the quarterfinals between Brazil and Chile, and sure enough, the two sides ended up scoring 1:1 in the 18th minute, and the game between Costa Rica and Greece was not an unexpected penalty shootout!

This time Jingyang's ten cards in the total funds have reached 9 million euros, the quarterfinals Jingyang changed the way of betting, this time Jingyang chose a higher profit pressure on the second half and the final score, first bet on the German team in the first half 1:0 lead France and keep it until the end of the game, and then bet on Brazil 1:0 Colombia in the first half, 1-1 in the second half Colombia wins, although I know that Brazil won but the odds are not high, so I deliberately placed a small amount of bets, Argentina deliberately bet a small bet on Belgium Jingyang to buy Argentina to lose, although Jingyang knew that Argentina won in the end, but if all guessed correctly, then it won't be long before someone will come to the door, and finally re-bet on the Netherlands vs Costa Rica full-time draw, penalty Netherlands 4:3!

Although this time it is only tripled, and the funds have reached 18 million, which is not as high as the previous odds, but it is enough, because the next semi-finals are the main event, and no one thought that the German team would be able to slaughter the host country Brazil with a score of 7:1 in this World Cup hosted by Brazil... But this is a good thing for Jingyang, Jingyang took out two million bets on Argentina to lose and deliberately bought the wrong one, and then the remaining 16 million points were all pressed on the German team, and also bet on the first half of the 5:0 Germany lead, and the second half of the German team scored first, the final score was 7:1 Germany won, after doing all this, Jingyang was very excited to watch the same scene as in his memory at the scene of the semi-finals, and soon the 90-minute game ended with a score of 7:1!

Jingyang's funds have removed 2 million and there are 16 million left, and the five-fold income has reached 80 million euros, with this money, as long as the final is right, the funds can reach at least 200 million, which is enough to prepare the funds of the network company in the early stage!

After watching the semi-finals between Germany and Brazil, Jingyang returned to the hotel and carefully began to bet, ten accounts each account 8 million, divided into ten betting companies to bet, first Jingyang chose the two sides to play a 90-minute draw, Germany scored the winning goal in overtime and finally defeated the Argentine team 1:0!

At the finals, Jingyang sat in the left stand facing the field, watching the back and forth of the game on the field, Jingyang, who was almost frightened a few times, screamed, for fear that Argentina would rewrite the history in his memory, in that case, everything he had done before would be in vain, and he would not be able to buy Parma.

Time passed minute by minute, the referee blew the whistle for overtime, Jingyang stared at the time on his phone, 112 minutes for the German team to attack, 123 minutes for Di! The referee blew the whistle and Götze made a beautiful shot and the ball went in! Jingyang waved his fist excitedly, and in the end, history did not change, and the final score was 1:0, and the German team won the Hercules Cup!

Jingyang looked at the euro in his ten accounts and smiled, because both sides are strong teams, the odds of playing overtime are not large, and if overtime is played, the probability of kicking a penalty is greater, and the probability of being able to kill is very low, so the odds are quite high, reaching an astonishing 4.5 times, each account has 36 million euros, fortunately, Jingyang chose ten different betting companies in ten countries.

Because Jingyang's bet this time has alarmed one or two small betting companies, but seeing that it is only 36 million euros, these two companies did not take it seriously, after all, there are more people who lose money in the World Cup, and he thinks that this person is too lucky and does not take it to heart, and the world's three major betting companies do not care about Jingyang's money.

Jingyang, who returned to the hotel, didn't sleep well all night, and put an ordinary pistol under his pillow, after all, the security in Brazil is not good and Jingyang can't guarantee that he will not be targeted, if others ask where the pistol came from, it is very simple in Brazil, as long as you have money, you can buy a tank. , not to mention a pistol.

Three days later, in the northern Italian city of Parma, Jingyang bought a three-story 2,000-square-meter European-style office building wearing a suit and leather shoes, and spent a full 4 million, but Jingyang knew that in another two or three years, the building could be sold for at least 6.5 million to 7 million, so it was said that it would make a steady profit, and the geographical location was very good, and it was used as the office location of his own network company, Jingyang spent 2 million euros again to buy the necessary equipment, and then hired some employees. One of the most unexpected was that he actually dug up a team that was not valued in Blizzard, and the director of this team was the main designer of the later design overwatch, and Jingyang hired the entire team without hesitation.

Jingyang did not leave in the next four days, and after helping them settle down in their accommodation, they were paid a year's salary in advance, the reason was to let them work with peace of mind without worries, and the chief designer Michael Chu, a young Chinese man, was very moved, which was a trust in their entire team, so the next month was also very smooth, the whole team was very motivated, and Jingyang was not idle in his previous life as a programmer who made games, so he naturally knew that those who made money.

For example, Overwatch, PUBG, these mentions in Jingyang and everyone unanimously decided to go all out to make them, because the whole team is a veteran, and they know at a glance that this is a good idea, and their team is better at making design games like FPS.

Three months later, the approximate mapping of Overwatch has been completed, and the rest is just a test, which does not need Jingyang to care, just when Jingyang plans to leave for a period of time to go to the United States, Spain, and England to engage in some investment cooperation, the chief designer Michael Chu, an Asian young man, found Jingyang and gave Jingyang a big surprise, because on this day Michael Chu brought a person, If it is a player of Warcraft, it must be no stranger to CraigAma, the designer who designed the artifact system in later generations, which can make Jingyang very happy, after all, if you want to say that the country of online games is more profitable, it must be China, and CraigAma with his team can realize another idea of Jingyang.

In fact, in Jingyang's heart, the Chinese market is the core market in the future, with CraigAma and others, you can start to make martial arts role-playing online games with a high degree of freedom, and Jingyang knows how popular Jingyang is when NetEase launches the reverse water cold, and not only that, with CraigAma, these designers who are good at making characters, it is completely possible to design two battle royale games, first of all, PUBG must be launched, and secondly, Jingyang remembers that another paid game gradually occupied the market before being reborn, That is martial arts, a game similar to PUBG, except that the game is no longer a gunfight, but a variety of martial arts moves, ancient Chinese cold weapons, etc., the form is more diverse, more in line with the Chinese market.

Jingyang once again waved his hand and spent a lot of money to purchase equipment, now the third floor of the whole building is Michael Chu's team, the second floor is CraigAma's team, and the first floor is used to receive guests, the name of the network company Jingyang thought about it and felt that it was called: Sailing Network Co., Ltd., Sailing represents the beginning of Jingyang's dream, and everyone agrees.

Time soon saw that Christmas was approaching, Jingyang after talking about the last investment, now there are 210 million euros left in the funds, after returning to Italy again, Jingyang made a decision, informing the two teams that there will be no holiday this year, everyone's mood is not high, Christmas abroad is equivalent to the Chinese New Year, and Jingyang is really so stupid? No, but in order to surprise these people, as early as a month, Zhanyang arranged his assistant team to get in touch with the families of the employees of the two teams, and the round-trip air tickets were all-inclusive, and the round-trip food, drink, and accommodation were all-inclusive, Jingyang hoped to give the employees a surprise!

Because Jingyang knows that a company is not how powerful his technology is, nor how terrible his funds are, but in the enthusiasm of employees, simply put, it is a hard-working, conscientious, responsible and cohesive team, maybe his strength and experience are not as good as some other teams, but often such a team can create greater surprises.

On the day of Christmas, Jingyang came to the company in Parma, and when he walked into the company, he could see that everyone's mood was not high, but Jingyang didn't care about taking his family members quietly to the conference room on the first floor, and instructed the secretary to call the two teams down for a meeting.

Jingyang stood on the rostrum: "Ahem, I know that some people must have scolded me in their hearts a few days ago, but what do you think of this surprise?" ”

As soon as Jingyang finished speaking, the two chief designers took the employees to throw Jingyang up to express his excitement and gratitude, in their hearts that meeting such a boss is the greatest luck in their lives, although they are all from a giant company like Blizzard, but in a company like Blizzard, it is difficult to enjoy such a feeling of home.

After a brief chat with everyone, Jing Yang stood on the windowsill alone with a cocktail and looked at the starry sky after nightfall, watching everyone reunite with their families, it is impossible to say that Jing Yang is not uncomfortable, but he can't destroy such a good atmosphere, right? At this moment, a pair of strong hands held Jingyang's shoulders, Jingyang looked back and saw that it was Michael Chu, although Michael Chu was young but more careful, he had already learned that his boss Jingyang was an orphan, and now this scene was probably uncomfortable, so he came over to find Jingyang.

Michael Chu looked at Jingyang, "Head, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Jingyang smiled and said uncaringly: "It's okay, I've been used to it for so many years, I'm fine, don't worry, go back and reunite with your family, you programmers don't go home all year round, it's rare to have a chance to reunite." ”

Jing Yang said in fluent Chinese for a while, and only after saying it did he realize that it was wrong. "Head, you can also speak Chinese, originally said that it is a little troublesome to communicate in Italian, now let's all speak Chinese, I am also Chinese, my family decided to settle in Italy in the future, head you can come to my house more in the future, my mother cooks very delicious!"

Jing Yang didn't expect Michael Chu to be able to speak such good Chinese, and Jing Yang was very moved to hear the warm words. "In that case, don't call me one by one, just call me Xiaoyang, how about I call you Brother Chu?" Michael Chu: "Okay, then I'll go back first, Xiaoyang might as well go out for a few days to relax, this might be useful." With that, he left.

"Do you want to go out and walk around? Anyway, after coming to Italy, I really didn't have a good time, this time I should go back to my alma mater to have a look, the University of Bologna's own alma mater, and it is also a historical city, so it should be completely relaxed. ”

Said to go, Jingyang took out his mobile phone to check the fastest flight, the time was still in time, after booking the ticket, packed a few clothes, and drove to the airport to prepare to go to Bologna, by the way, you can also meet a person, but also to prepare for the future acquisition of Parma, after all, even if the funds are sufficient, but you can't hold up the club alone.

Whether it is the talent to manage the club, or the coach who cultivates the players, etc., it is necessary to get it together, there is a saying that it is difficult to support alone, Jingyang is not short of funds and has the existence of the FM system It is not a problem to choose players, but these players always need people to train and eat when they are bought.

And once Parma completes all procedures such as bankruptcy, then the club is basically an empty shell, first of all, the player will definitely not accompany Parma to the amateur league, according to memory, only Lucarelli, the old captain, stayed and accompanied Parma to fight back in Serie A, but others have to find it one by one, so this time Jingyang went to Bologna to meet someone who he needs to use in the future.
