Chapter 531: The Grasshopper Shakes the Tree

After receiving the Golden Globe Award, the winter break will end in more than ten days.

Liu Yun took advantage of the time and took Liu Xiaoyan to ruin his hometown in Handong. Little Coke was just seven months old and not suitable for long journeys, and Isabella stayed in Manchester to take care of Little Coke.

Liu Yun's worth has now soared to nearly $300 million. Of course, the vast majority of this is the value of Manchester United's shares. Liu Yun thought that with money, it was time to do something for his hometown.

China's NBA superstar Yao Riyue is also worth hundreds of millions of dollars after retiring. He chose to return to his hometown Huhai and invest in his hometown basketball club Huhai Big Turtle.

Liu Yun didn't want to spend his money on the men's football team. What Taoist practices and match-fixing are engaged in by the Handong Bairun team at home. He knew in his heart that spending money on the men's football team was tantamount to a waste.

Liu Yun has a lot of money, but Qian Duo is not rushed out of the river, but is earned by sweating and even bleeding on the court. He would never invest his money in the bottomless pit of the men's football team in order to make a good name.

Compared with the soft-footed shrimp men's football team, Liu Yun prefers women's football. He had previously had the idea of funding women's football. Women's football has always been the pride of Chinese people. In the 99 Women's World Cup, the sonorous rose team led by Sun Wen, Liu Ailing, and Zhao Lihong bloomed in the United States. kicked out the spirit of the Chinese people. In the end, he won the World Cup runner-up.

However, the treatment of the women's football team has not been improved because of the excellent results of the 99 World Cup. In recent years, the salary level of men's football players has doubled, but the salary standard of some women's football provincial teams is still at the level of 35,000 ordinary workers.

National honor is not worth eating, and women's football players are also human beings, and they also have to dress and eat.

At last year's National Games, Li Xi, who was known as the first beauty of the Chinese women's football team and a star of hope, retired gloomily.

Li Xi's father, Li Weixin, said excitedly at the time: "Which players in the men's football team have an annual salary of several million is already small. There are not a few people with an annual salary of one or two million. They drive around in luxury cars and spend a lot of money in entertainment venues。。。。。 In the international arena, it has repeatedly failed. You can take a look at the last World Cup Asian preliminary match! Don't chase the ball, don't stop when you meet someone. One by one, they walked like an uncle! Look at our women's football girls again, regardless of personal treatment, they do their best to win one game after another for the motherland and get one honor after another. In the end? My daughter Li Xi is already a well-known women's football player. Do you know how much the provincial team pays her every month? 2290 bucks! In the first-tier city of Jinmen, food and clothing are not enough! For the sake of my daughter's future, I want her to retire, go to the university of her dreams, and find a decent job. I'm dead set on Chinese football! ”

Li Xi's father said what many female football players wanted to say but never dared to say.

It is true that Sun Wen and Sun Qingmei, the representatives of sonorous roses, are not bad now. How many Sun Wen (Miss World Football 2000) and how many Sun Qingmei (Miss World Football 91) are there?! Most of the female football players, including some women's national football players, have been attending sports schools since they were teenagers and have devoted themselves to football. When they win glory for the country, everyone calls them sonorous roses and the pride of China. When I retired, because I didn't have a higher education, I didn't have any skills in football for more than ten years, and I didn't have the wealth accumulated by high income... The fact that they can find a stable job is already a high incense.

In recent years, the salaries of Chinese men's football players have been speculated. Parents are encouraging boys to get involved in football. When it comes to girls playing football, parents are surprisingly unanimous – don't waste your time!

Li Xi, who retired gloomily, is the top scorer of the women's football U18 group at the National Games. Her father didn't persuade her to hang up her boots and quit football for the sake of her future?

Liu Yun decided to set up a women's football school in Handong out of his own pocket, and if the situation allows, he will select players from the women's football school to form a club and apply to compete in the Women's League.

However, there are a few people in the association who have long looked at Liu Yun unpleasantly. Someone said that the application for the establishment of a women's football school must be approved by the association. The association is not a servant, but a manager. Liu Yun usually does not obey management, why should the association approve his application?

This is in line with the association's consistent style. After the Five Rats incident in 01, a club announced that it would withdraw from the Chinese football circle. Yan Shiduo, the person in charge of the association, said in front of CCTV reporters: Huaguo Professional League is not TO, if you want to leave, I have no right to keep you, and I don't want to keep you. You don't play, there are people lining up to play.

Yan Shiduo's words 18 years ago were high, as if he only remembered that the association was the manager, and forgot that he still had the important identity of a servant.

Just when Liu Yun was disheartened and wanted to dispel the idea of running a women's football school, Li Dakang, the leader of Jingzhou City, heard about it.

Li Dakang was furious: "! If the Golden Ball Award winner wants to support the development of women's football in Jingzhou City and set up a women's football school out of his own pocket, what approval does the association need? I fully support Liu Yun! The women's football school is under the name of the Jingzhou Education and Sports Bureau! I think the group of masters of the association dare to come to my Jingzhou to pick up the school's sign, don't they? ! ”

Li Dakang immediately sent a secretary to contact Liu Yun, and took time out of his busy schedule to discuss the specific details with Liu Yun in person.

Li Dakang is a good official who is resolute and resolute, and a capable official who does what he says. Under his direct inquiry, the location and enrollment of the women's football school were solved in just 3 days.

The women's football school is listed under the name of the Jingzhou Municipal Education and Sports Bureau. Liu Yun fully funded the school. Not only does it not charge tuition, but it gives each student a subsidy of 2,000 yuan per month. When students enter the city, provincial and national teams, Liu Yun will personally subsidize them with subsidies of 8,000 yuan, 15,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan per month.

The inauguration of the school was scheduled for the day before Liu Yun returned to Manchester. Li Dakang personally attended the unveiling ceremony.

Li Dakang shook Liu Yun's hand and said: "In order to accomplish the grand goal of becoming an international metropolis, in addition to developing the economy, we must also develop culture and sports. Lao Liu, your contribution to the development of women's football in Jingzhou will not be forgotten by the people of Jingzhou! ”

Liu Yun was a little flattered: "Thank you, Li Shu (and Ah Harmony)." Hopefully, I can do my part to change the status quo of women's football. ”

Li Dakang said with a smile: "The Chinese characters are broad and profound. One of my favorite idioms is the grasshopper shaking the tree. In textbooks, this is a derogatory term. I think it's a compliment. How much courage does it take for a mayfly to shake a tree? It may take a long time to change the status quo of some things. It's scary that no one will try to change. You are the one who tries to change the status quo. It deserves the respect of all of us. ”

The unveiling ceremony ended. Li Dakang secretly said to Liu Yun: "Old Liu, I want to go through the back door for you." My girl is a big fan of yours. Can you sign her name? When she came home from the New Year's holiday, I gave it to her. ”

Liu Yun directly signed his name on the jersey he wore in the Champions League final last season and gave it to Li Dakang.
