After the interview, Lin Wenlei hurried to the Sheraton Xiakou Hotel, and Benteler introduced him to a person named Ian Turner, and didn't say much, just said that it was best to meet.

Lin Wenlei was a little curious, so he arranged a meeting, which was waiting with Helen Soma at Sheraton.

When I got off the Porsche 911, I saw the smiling Helen Soma waiting at the door wearing a black silk skirt and a tight dress. Noticing Lin Wenlei's hesitation and even defense after seeing her, Soma almost sighed in his heart.

In the previous innings of Foigt, Herus and Welf who trapped Lin Wenlei, Helen Soma also played a heavy role. She admits that she is a vain girl, eager to blend into high society with her delicate face and passable wisdom, so as soon as Welf, who can provide her with this opportunity, seduces her, she happily plays, and pits Lin Wenlei without even a little guilt.

But who would have thought that what they had been working on to weave to Lin Wenlei was actually a big gold mine. Lin Wenlei not only sold for a sky-high price of 2 billion euros (what is open to the world is an ordinary large-scale gold mine), but also caught up with the boss of Glencore, and entered the top circle of Europe in one fell swoop, the world that Helen Soma dreamed of squeezing into.

Now, Foigt and Herus have been thrown into prison on various legal charges, and it is almost impossible to leave in this life. And she, Helen Soma, could not refuse to become Lin Wenlei's little assistant. If it had been before, Soma would have been happier to be closer to the most powerful circle in Europe, made up of big businessmen and big bankers. But now, she is just a little woman who got this position because of punishment, and the boss who can decide her fate still hates her and doesn't trust her...

Helen Soma tries her best to make Lin Wenlei notice the side of her little woman, and tries to change her boss's impression of her.

"Boss, here's Ian Turner's profile..."

Lin Wenlei took a look, Ian Turner is 36 years old and is American. He graduated from Stanford University with a degree in computer systems engineering. After graduating, he worked at lBM's Center for Mainframe Computing and then as a data analyst for the Oakland Raiders, a U.S. football team, before being fired a year ago.

"Boss, Turner may want to talk to you about digital football, he has been doing the application of big data computing in sports, and has lobbied a lot of people, but they are not willing to invest because of the huge cost..."

Soma's introduction made Lin Wenlei interested, which should be the reason why Benteler introduced him. I walked briskly to the café where Soma was directing. When Helen Soma put one hand on Lin Wenlei's arm, Lin Wenlei's muscles stiffened, and then he quickly stepped away.

Both of them looked unnatural for a short moment, and then walked inside as if nothing had happened, and Helen Soma also introduced Lin Wenlei and Ian Turner with a natural expression.

After the greetings, they sat down, and both of them secretly looked at each other at the same time. In Lin Wenlei's view, Ian Turner is not like his impression of a computer or programmer, unkempt, lacking in exercise, and pale, but with a mentally cut hair, T-shirt showing powerful arms, and bright eyes, more like an athlete.

"Mr. Lin, I've heard Bendtner introduce you, and I'm very interested in your idea of introducing digital training equipment into soccer training. My research, the application of big data computing in high-confrontation sports, has a lot of overlap and mutual promotion with your research. If you're willing to invest, I think my research will definitely have a chemistry with your research and have a multiplier effect!"

Ian Turner was trying to convince Lin Wenlei, but Lin Wenlei struggled to listen to his unskilled German, and in the middle of the day he heard a sentence that interested him - 'the application of big data computing in high-confrontation sports'. Just waiting for him to come out with some dry goods.

Turner took out a document at Soma's suggestion, and then Helen Soma naturally took it, helped Lin Wenlei remove the coffee cup in front of him, put the document away, and helped open it, everything was done as a matter of course and without pretentiousness.

"Well, yes, in Chinese...", Lin Wenlei was quite satisfied with the document. He was very worried that Ian Turner would come up with an English document, Lin Wenlei had a high school degree in China, and he couldn't learn German because of life and academic pressure, and he almost didn't know anything about English.

Lin Wenlei knew that Helen Soma should have done these jobs, and when he looked at her, he saw that she didn't raise her head, and looked at another English document intently, without saying anything, and flipped through her Chinese documents.

Ian Turner started out with nothing special, mainly to build a player database, analyze and extrapolate the player's technical characteristics, personal physical data, etc., so as to play a supporting role in training and games. Targeted training programs can be arranged scientifically and systematically in training, and reference plans can be put forward in terms of lineup arrangement, offensive and defensive combinations. Analyze and summarize the game during the game, and propose improvement plans to the coach.

In the middle part, combined with some research from Benteler's side, and after the data collection and analysis of opponents and arenas are introduced, you can monitor the opponent's tactical characteristics, technical characteristics and physical condition at the same time in the game, and give the coach a hint of the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, as well as the analysis of the opponent's situation.

At the same time, it can also be combined with Benteler's digital football training equipment to develop a scientific and systematic training program according to the coach's training requirements for players, and can also combine physical training and technical training to systematically arrange according to the player's individual characteristics.

To put it simply, it is to turn football training, which used to be mastered by professional coaches through study and experience, into a fool's machine, and directly ask for it, and then just urge the players to practice as required.

To cooperate with Benteler's digital stadium, even the on-the-spot command can be fooled, and the system finds loopholes in the formation of both sides, coordination loopholes, and physical fitness loopholes, and the coach only needs to deploy personnel according to the prompts.

"Mr. Turner, with all due respect, I feel like I'm reading a science fiction novel about coaches losing their jobs."

Ian Turner raised his eyebrows and looked elated:

"In fact, it's a very realistic outlook analysis, Mr. Lin. The only thing that stands between the prospect and the reality is some money, a mainframe computer, and my intelligence, Mr. Lin. ”

After the smugness was over, Ian Turner began to explain:

"I don't know if Mr. Lin has heard of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Alamos National Laboratory in the United States? In the 60s, they were able to simulate a nuclear explosion with a simple computer, and now there are very large computer systems that can improve climate research, weather forecasting, tornado tracking, and related research, helping researchers reduce uncertainty and accuracy in simulations. So is it difficult to extrapolate a ball game? It is only necessary to integrate the system and accumulate data, and it will be completely achievable in a few years. ”

Ian Turner succeeded in convincing Lin Wenlei, who blurted out:

"How much does it cost?"

"At the initial stage, 50 million US dollars, the data accumulation is completed, and after the model is established, it needs its own large-scale computer computing, which will require about 200 million US dollars at that time."

"Straight to the mainframe computer? Did it help with this project?"

Lin Wenlei's obsession with this technology and spending a lot of money made Ian Turner stunned for a while, and then a little overjoyed:

"Of course it helps! Mr. Lin! Then I am confident that I will achieve my medium-term goal in 5 years!"

Although Lin Wenlei felt that 5 years was still a long time, he felt that he still had to respect other professional talents, nodded and agreed with Ian Turner's statement, and asked his assistant Anna to provide the grant, and Helen Soma was responsible for following up.
