Chapter 242: Own Stadium

ps: Thank you for the monthly tickets voted by the book friends "Disillusioned Niu Niu" and "Langya Dream", and continue to ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets and member clicks ^_^

After the award ceremony and press conference, although it was late, the Eastern team held a simple celebration banquet at the hotel where they were staying. Although there will definitely be a more grand commemorative ceremony after returning home, there will definitely be leaders from all walks of life at that time, but it is difficult to have fun, so the team members generally cherish the happy time of this night. Perhaps the only thing that made everyone a little unhappy was that although Gao Jun rarely broke the drinking ring, he only drank a bottle of beer, and everyone was not allowed to drink as much as they wanted, but after such a great victory that was enough to make them unforgettable, even if they didn't drink much, everyone's mood was "everyone is drunk if they don't get drunk"

After the Oriental team returned to China, they were warmly welcomed by the fans at the airport, and many citizens who never watched the game also came to join in the fun, and the total number of people reached more than 100,000, so that the traffic was paralyzed for a time. After that, leaders at all levels also rushed to express condolences and commendations in batches, down to the local cadres of Chongming and the officials of the Municipal Sports Bureau, and up to some central leaders, and the Chongming base, which has always been deserted, has become a little lively and noisy.

Although Gao Jun was born in the sixties and seventies in his previous life, he was far more tolerant of some bureaucratic styles than his friends, but the high frequency he had never experienced still made him feel physically and mentally exhausted. However, this is still very beneficial for the Oriental Club, and under Gao Jun's suggestion, Xu Gui seized the opportunity when the aura of the Club World Cup championship was dazzling, negotiated with the relevant departments, and successfully obtained a large piece of land at a price that was almost free of charge. It has created conditions for the further expansion of the Chongming football base and the upgrading of facilities.

More importantly, the municipality eventually agreed to the Oriental Club's request for a football stadium of its own. It was impossible to give the 80,000-person stadium, so the historic Jiangwan Stadium was chosen instead. Of course. In order to avoid being charged with the crime of "loss of state-owned assets", the city government also put forward a condition, that is, it is required to join the shareholders' club, and it will suddenly ask for 60% of the shares.

If it was before, it would be impossible for Xu Gui, who was worried about losing the club's control rights, to agree to this request, but Gao Jun knew the successful experience of the Zhutou Sankong Huhua team in history, and under his reminder and persuasion, Xu Gui finally conditionally agreed to the municipal government's plan, that is, the direct capital injection by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was changed to the capital injection by a number of municipal enterprises. The total number of state-owned shares reached 60%, but the shares of each municipal enterprise were inferior to Xu Genbao, so that Xu Genbao won a football stadium of his own for the club without losing control of the Oriental Club.

In addition, perhaps due to the influence of the "world champion", the city government also agreed that if the Oriental Club is profitable, it does not have to pay dividends to the various shareholders, but can invest all of it in the operation of the club or deposit it in the ZĂ i bank as a backup fund, and if the club has financial difficulties in the future, they can also inject further funds, let alone contact sponsors and the like. After all, everyone knows that football clubs have always burned more money and made less money

With a football stadium of its own, not only can the Oriental Club receive all the ticket revenue, but more importantly, the home turf problem that has been plaguing the team can finally be solved. Speaking of which. The turf problem has always been a long-standing problem in Chinese football, and many people think it is due to technical reasons, which is indeed there. There is a big gap between Chinese grass seeds and cultivation techniques compared with Western ones, but this is not the main reason. Historically, the turf of those stadiums used in the football matches of the 2oo8 Beijing Olympics was very good, but why did it come to the league. Many of these courses have turned into vegetable patches.

The key to this problem lies in the ownership of the stadium, except for a very few clubs such as Tianjin Taida, which generally do not have their own football stadiums, and the home stadiums in the league are basically rented, and the football stadiums rented by Chinese football clubs have very little access to them, and they are not even as high as the priority of singer concerts, even if the club is not afraid of wasting money to get the turf done during the interval, and it is frequently destroyed by those activities other than football, the turf will be turned into a vegetable field again. The reason why the turf is of good quality in football competitions such as the Olympics is because the vegetable patch is detrimental to the government's face, so there is usually enough time to raise the turf in advance, and there will be no more concerts and other damages during the game

Bad turf will increase the probability of player mistakes and even injury, because the Oriental team's style of play is the style of ground passing and cutting, short pass penetration, so the impact of the turf is greater than that of other Chinese teams, if it is not for the strength of several core players, it is difficult for the Eastern team to achieve good results on both fronts of the league and the AFC Champions League this season. As for the Club World Cup, due to the generally good conditions of the stadiums in Japan, the strength of the Eastern team in the game is significantly stronger than when playing at home in China, and not only because of the good condition

There are a few strong players this year, and the Oriental team can achieve a good home record even if the venue is not good, but in the upcoming European winter transfer period, several core players such as Gao Jun will definitely leave the team to play in Europe, and the strength of the Oriental team will inevitably be greatly reduced next season.

Therefore, Xu Gui and Gao Jun are so concerned about this matter, although Jiangwan Stadium is a little old, but it only needs to renovate the facilities, turf and underground pipelines, it can become one of the best football stadiums in China, and it is completely too late to get it done before the start of next season, and the most important thing is that renovating a stadium can save more money than spending hundreds of millions of yuan to build a new football stadium, not to mention that the Oriental team cannot afford such a huge investment, and the construction time is also a problem

However, compared to before, the current Oriental team is definitely rich in money, first of all, the expenses of the Oriental team are definitely quite low in the middle team, because the introduction of players this season has little money, and the player's salary is only in the middle of the middle (this is still because of good results and a lot of bonuses, otherwise it is only the level of the bottom few.) So in terms of expenses, it is definitely worthy of the word "saving". And, in addition to "throttling", this season's Eastern Club has also done a good job of "open source", with an eye-popping and amazing increase in revenue compared to last season (to be continued!).
