Chapter 176 Accounts Are Not Calculated That Way (Seeking Tickets for Support)

Recruiting needs to consider many factors other than competitive reasons, such as the player's worth, popularity, contribution to market development, and so on.In the final analysis, a professional club is an enterprise, and in addition to competition, more commercial factors must be considered.

This is not a Chinese characteristic, it is true of professional clubs all over the world.

Every year during the transfer period, we can see the big-name coaches complaining endlessly in front of the media like Mrs. Xianglin, such as "I want a midfielder and the club buys a striker", "If I can't buy XXX, I will not guarantee next season's results", "I wanted to focus on training XXX but the club sold it to me"...

Especially for some wealthy clubs, there will often be a lot of grievances and hatreds at this time. The love-hate entanglements between coaches, sports directors, club presidents, and owners are like dog-blood soap operas, attracting melon-eaters to watch with gusto.

At this moment, the marketing department expressed strong opposition to the coaching staff's signing plan.

"Director Li, you are an expert in sports, but we also have to consider the angle of business development and market factors. What is the popularity of Vermaelen, and what is Moises? If I were a fan, I would definitely go to the game when I heard that Vermaelen was coming. But is Moises? Hehe, who is he?" Director Liu of the marketing department is also a member of the signing team. The first thing he considers is the commercial value of players.

The head of the finance department expressed concern about spending. "Vermaelen joins for free, while Moises' estimated price is about 650 million euros, and the club's board of directors' signing funds are only 5000 million yuan. I really don't know if this price can be negotiated."

Others also whispered to each other.

Hearing these figures, Sun Hua, the general manager of the club, also frowned, and looked at Li Xiaopeng, wondering what his old partner thought.

Li Xiaopeng smiled, appearing harmless to humans and animals. "I'm just a football coach, and I think about everything from football. I may not think about other things comprehensively, but I still think that Taishan is a football club, and everything should be considered from football."

This is obviously pretending to be stupid. You know, Li Xiaopeng is not only the head coach of the Taishan team, but also the executive vice president of the club, a typical manager.From budget final accounts to personnel management to infrastructure construction, nothing can be done without his signature.

"As for what you said, it makes sense, but it doesn't seem to be all right. Xiao Gao, do you have any thoughts on these questions from the leaders?" Li Xiaopeng suddenly clicked on Gao Yuan's general.

Gao Yuan was originally not eligible to attend the meeting of cadres above the middle level of the club, but Li Xiaopeng insisted on letting him attend.Now that the vice president of the club has spoken, there is no reason for others to stop him.But after agreeing to attend the audition, what does this sudden roll call mean?

Gao Yuan is also a little confused. Once he has appointed a coach, it is fine to express his opinions in the coaching staff. How can he go to the club's high-level meeting and let me speak?But let’s just say, there’s nothing to be afraid of!

Gao Yuan sorted out his thoughts, and said loudly: "Leaders, I don't think that's how accounts are calculated!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was startled.This kid speaks loudly.

"Vermaelen doesn't need to spend a transfer fee. But what about the signing fee? As far as I know, there are many clubs interested in him at the same time. In this case, his agent will definitely ask for a high signing fee, which is certainly not a small amount. Besides, what about his salary? Referring to Fellaini's annual salary of 1200 million euros, the annual salary of a star of Vermaelen's level will definitely not be less than 800 million euros. But what is the salary of Moises? It will not cost 500 million euros. The salary difference is nearly doubled! If you sign a three-year contract, the salary alone will far exceed the transfer fee!"

These words were deafening, and the face of the person in charge of the finance department gradually darkened after hearing these words.

"Let's talk about Vermaelen's commercial value. Yes, he does have an outstanding resume, but I don't think his reputation is much higher than Fellaini's. We already have Pellet and Fellaini in our team, and adding Vermaelen is just icing on the cake. Beihe Huaxia has introduced Mascherano and Lavezzi. How much does it improve their attendance? In the final analysis, it still depends on the team's results and the team's game scenes. Fans will naturally buy tickets if they play well and perform well. If you don’t play well, no matter how many stars you have, the fans won’t buy it!”

Director Liu wanted to argue, but felt that it was impossible to refute, so he opened his mouth and said nothing.

"The introduction of Moises seems to be just an ordinary signing, but it is actually related to the change of the team's overall technical and tactical play. Maybe this half season can't change anything in a short period of time, but we should look to the future. Only when the team's performance improves can the club's interests be maximized! Our dream of building a century-old club can be better realized!"

Everyone stared blankly at Gao Yuan, thinking that this kid is pretty good at talking, and you are an assistant coach, you are quite comprehensive.

Li Xiaopeng was even more smiling, wishing to give Gao Yuan a few likes.He originally wanted Gao Yuan to express his opinions from the perspective of the team's skills and tactics to persuade everyone, but he didn't expect him to say everything he wanted to say!This boy is not easy!

Yan Ruyu glanced at Gao Yuan with a smile on his lips, his eyes were a little complicated.

As the head of the club, Sun Hua should set the tone at this time.He smiled and said: "The reason is not clear. Everyone's consideration is very comprehensive, and the opinions they put forward are also reasonable. We still have to promote democratic centralism for this kind of three major matters. Let's vote with a show of hands. If you agree with the coaching staff's opinion, please raise your hand if you want to introduce the reserve candidate Moises."

Li Xiaopeng was the first to raise his hand, which was reasonable, but the second one who raised his hand was somewhat unexpected, it was actually Yan Ruyu, director of the administrative department.

How is this going?Didn't it mean that she and Gao Yuan were at odds?At the beginning, when Gao Yuan was introduced, everyone still remembered how she angrily opposed her. How come she has become a staunch supporter of Gao Yuan now?

Even Yan Ruyu raised his hands, and everyone else raised their hands, even the person in charge of the finance department raised their hands. Finally, seeing that everyone raised their hands in agreement, Director Liu, who knew that the situation was over, had no choice but to raise his hands in agreement.

"Okay, unanimous approval! It is agreed to introduce Moises and write a letter to the club's board of directors. At the same time, the signing team must seize the time to negotiate and sign him as soon as possible!" Sun Hua made the final decision.

The signing team was very efficient, and the negotiations and physical examination were completed a few days later, and the foreign officials announced the news of the introduction of Moises.

As soon as the signing news came out, there was an uproar as usual.

The fans who had expected to be raised a bit high in their hearts were very disappointed, and they became a crowd in the post bar forum.

"Who is Moises? Who are you?"

"At first, I thought that the club was holding back their big move, but in the end, holding it back and forth, a fart came out!"

"I've waited so long for this thing to be introduced to me! TMD"

"What about the foreign players at the level of Harland and Mbappe? If you can't come, at least you get someone who is worth about the same as Jill! How come the value has been reduced by more than half!"

"The club is incompetent, Li Xiaopeng is going to die!"

"Moths, you must have embezzled the signing funds, I'm going to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to sue you!"

·······

Later, someone broke the news that the club was interested in Vermaelen, but was rejected by Li Xiaopeng.This time it even poked a hornet's nest.

"Let's leave get out of class, Li Xiaopeng, please don't harm the club anymore, okay?"

"Give me back the High Priest! I want Vermaelen!"

"Why not Vermaelen? Is it because the player's wrist is too big and I can't hold it down?"

"Why else? It must be that Vermaelen didn't give prefect Li a kickback! The Europeans are no match for the Brazilians. They will come to the prefect's house at night, and they will take care of it!"

"My second uncle's cousin's eldest nephew's uncle lives in the same building as Li Xiaopeng. He said that two days ago he saw a Brazilian sneaking to Li Xiaopeng's house at night carrying two bottles of Baotu Spring Baijiu and a bag of fruit!"

"Real hammer, report it!"

"I'm going to sit in front of the club! If Li Xiaopeng doesn't finish class, it's not enough for the people to be angry!"

"Go together, count me in!"

·······

Gao Yuan was filled with righteous indignation. It was obviously his own proposal, but Li Xiaopeng took the blame again. He used his special account for posting to get a detailed analysis report of Moises and posted it on the Internet, but was instantly drowned out by all kinds of abuse.

"Fifty cents from the Catch Club!"

"Tell me, what kind of benefits did Li Xiaopeng give you? How dare you say good things about him against your conscience!"

"I don't look at the statistics or not! I only know that Vermaelen is more famous, and there is no transfer fee!"

"Hehe, the host seems to be talking about statistics, but his conscience is really broken! Are professional scouts from European clubs not as good as you?"

"Are you afraid it's not Li Xiaopeng's trumpet?"

······

A few days after the Taishan team announced the signing of Moises, Vermaelen also signed the J-League team Victory Ship Kobe, forming the most luxurious foreign aid combination in Asia with Podolski, Villa and Iniesta.

As soon as this news came out, it was naturally another overwhelming criticism of the Taishan Club and Li Xiaopeng.

Moises has a high professionalism and flew from Brazil to Shandong shortly after signing the contract.

His flight arrived at 9:[-] p.m., and the administration department and the coaching staff were jointly responsible for picking him up.

Because it was Gao Yuan who advocated the introduction of foreign aid, he took on the heavy responsibility of picking up the plane. Originally, the administration department had agreed that the deputy director would come, but for some reason, after hearing that Gao Yuan was in charge of picking up the plane, Yan Ruyu came to the scene in person.

Gao Yuan's expected pick-up, he thought he would hold up a sign, stand in the airport lobby, wait for people to arrive, shake hands and say hello, then get in the car and leave, and go back to the club to eat and sleep.

Unexpectedly, when he came to the airport hall, he was shocked. Damn it, it turned out to be a big scene!
