From the Country Team To the Rich

The next day, in the 23rd round of the German Promotion League, Hoffenheim played against Fort Wayne at home.

They are extremely familiar with this old opponent.

Fort Wayne is currently at the bottom of the standings and in the relegation zone.

This also proves that not every newly promoted is as vigorous as Hoffenheim.

The entire Jurgen Stadium was full of seats, and some fences were even full of people, and a large number of fans gathered outside the stadium to interact with the fans in the stadium.

5000 seats can no longer satisfy Hoffenheim.

Zhang Xian somewhat underestimated the enthusiasm of the residents in the Sinsheim area for football. Since the past two weeks, a large number of foreigners have poured into Hoffenheim every weekend.

It is conservatively estimated that the attendance of Hoffenheim in each game has exceeded 6,000.

They are full of anticipation for the team that will enter the Fieldsmore Stadium this summer and can't wait to get to know them.

Now Hoffenheim's ball market has surpassed most of the fifth-tier teams, and the fourth-tier league is a popular home game.

Facing the problem of hard-to-buy tickets, Hoffenheim couldn't find a solution for a while.

On the contrary, a lot of 'scalpers' settled in, swept up the tickets in a short period of time, and then sold them at a high price.

In this regard, Hoffenheim has also made some corresponding measures, but it still cannot contain this phenomenon.

Now, they can only wait to enter the Fieldsmore Stadium to clear the damage caused by the scalpers to the market,

But there is still a problem, that is, the growth rate of Hoffenheim fans is a bit too fast.

The support of the ticket purchase curve is in the form of a dragon rising. Hoffenheim is afraid that when they enter the Fieldsmore Stadium, 10,000 seats will not be able to satisfy these enthusiastic fans.

For a while, Hoffenheim fell into the troubles of happiness.

On this issue, Hoffenheim also discussed, and they concluded why so many fans love Hoffenheim.

Some fans from other regions even went to Hoffenheim to watch the football.

In the end, they came up with a few points.

First: Hoffenheim's home atmosphere is the key, and their opening show attracted many fans.

Second: The team's excellent performance is the foundation of guaranteeing the football market.

Third: This is also the most critical point, class positioning!

The contradiction between urban and rural areas in Germany is very intense, but it is not the gap between the poor and the rich, but the gap in ideas.

Urban people think that rural people are not enterprising and tend to be peaceful, and compare rural people to 'losers'.

Rural people think that urban people are too utilitarian and do not know how to enjoy life, and despise them as "slaves to money".

This is the premise of a big contradiction. Although it has not been directly brought to the table, it has vaguely formed a concept, which makes the two parties dislike each other.

And this concept is even more intense in football.

Under such circumstances, Hoffenheim, an out-and-out rural team with excellent results, is naturally loved by rural residents in various regions.

It can be said that Hoffenheim's rural positioning has ushered in huge support for them.

And this is still the situation when Hoffenheim has not yet exerted its strength. If they really achieve results in some national competitions, or kill some teams in big cities, these rural residents may give Hoffenheim the crown. The title of 'Anti-City Fighter'.

Of course, this title has advantages and disadvantages.

But based on the current stage of Hoffenheim, the advantages undoubtedly outweigh the disadvantages.

For this reason, the top management of Hoffenheim, led by Zhang Xian, made up his mind to go all the way to the dark.

They are country teams!

Their goal is to integrate the rural forces of the entire Baden-Württemberg state and form a Baden Country Union!

 …

The enthusiasm of the fans ignited the entire stadium.

And the Hoffenheim players who were fighting at the lively home court played 200% of their combat effectiveness.

Ji'an was full of firepower in this game, breaking his left side into a sieve.

In the 90-minute game, he scored one shot and two passes.

The final score came to Hoffenheim 3:0 Fort Wayne, winning the game.

It is worth mentioning that after Ji An scored his key goal, he bowed deeply to the fans around him.

Finally, he bowed in the direction of the podium again.

The fans didn't know the meaning of Ji'an's action, they only thought that he was thanking himself for his support, and couldn't help cheering even louder.

On the other hand, Zhang Xian, who was sitting on the rostrum, smiled slightly.

He knew that this was Jian's apology for previous actions.

On the rostrum, Jurgen Bauer excitedly took off his clothes to celebrate, as if he had scored a goal, his white belly trembled like waves, he grabbed Ji'an's jersey in one hand and kept waving it.

From a certain point of view, the club president is crazier than the fans.

"Bauer, come back and sit down." Zhang Xian said helplessly.

This fat man doesn't have the majesty of a high-level person at all.

Hearing Zhang Xian's words, Jurgen Bauer stopped celebrating a little, returned to his seat, and said with a happy face; "Win this game, we will be able to widen the point gap to 5 points, which is very important for us." We upgrade with more guarantees.”

"Next season, we will go to the senior regional league!" Jurgen Bauer's small eyes were shining.

That's the senior regional league!

German fifth tier league!

They were able to complete the double jump in just two years, which is unimaginable.

When the former Hoffenheim was still struggling in the seventh tier, he had no less daydreams.

And when all this is about to come true, it feels unreal.

To this, Zhang Xian responded lightly: "So, we must be fully prepared!"

"What else do you need to prepare!" Jurgen Bauer said excitedly; "Come on! Keep going! We must speed up our pace and enter the Bundesliga!"

Zhang Xian took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, saying: "The pace of promotion cannot be stopped, but the club needs to make improvements."

Jurgen Bauer asked: "What improvement? I don't understand these things, you can just figure it out."

Zhang Xian glanced at Fatty angrily, and said, "You have to try to learn."

"I'm not that kind of material!" Jurgen Bauer waved his hand; "I still prefer to enjoy football, and leave the brain to you."

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "Are you not afraid that I will sell Hoffenheim?"

Jurgen Bauer subconsciously said; "Impossible!"

After finishing speaking, he saw Zhang Xian looking at him with a smile, and couldn't help grinning, and said, "It should be... no?"

Zhang Xian took out a document from the side and said, "This is what needs to be done in the second half of this year's season, take a look!"

Jurgen Bauer took the document, and he saw a huge line of words on it.

[List of Mergers and Acquisitions].

Jurgen Bauer was stunned and said, "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Xian said indifferently: "As it says above, I plan to acquire several clubs!"

This is an idea that Zhang Xian had earlier.

Hoffenheim's development has been very fast, but Zhang Xian is still not satisfied.

He needs to grow Hoffenheim faster.

And in this process, nothing is faster than 'mergers and acquisitions'.

After the inspection in the first half of the year, he plans to merge the two clubs.

They are Newster Warriors and SC Villa.

With the unfavorable performance of the Newster Warriors last season, there has been a huge gap in funds, and it is likely to declare bankruptcy.

SC Villa are also facing financial problems.

Therefore, the small club's ability to resist risks is too weak, and these two clubs are about to declare bankruptcy. At this juncture, Zhang Xian is ready to invest in mergers and acquisitions.

Why did you choose these two goals?

On the one hand, these two clubs are not too far away from Hoffenheim, just over 30 kilometers away.

On the other hand, fans of both regions have a certain sense of belonging to Sinsheim.

After the merger, Hoffenheim set their home court in the Sinsheim area, which can relieve the resistance of these club fans.

Of course, the most important thing is that both clubs have a certain fan base.

As long as the nutrients of these two clubs are absorbed, Hoffenheim can be better supplied.

In this regard, Zhang Xian has already contacted the top management of the two clubs. Their top management and fans have said that if it is Hoffenheim, they will agree to the merger and acquisition project and hand over their shares.

The situation in Hoffenheim is special. Due to Jurgen Bauer's continuous investment for ten years, he owns all the shares in Hoffenheim.

This is good news for Hoffenheim.

The premise of the merger is to retain the entire share.

For the fans of these two companies, if the club declares bankruptcy, the shares in their hands will be gone. It is better to hand over the shares voluntarily in exchange for the club to exist in another form.

Under this premise, this merger and acquisition transaction developed extremely smoothly.

Now it is only necessary for Hoffenheim to report to the German Football Association, and after reviewing the qualifications, the transaction can be completed.
