Super Marshal

Ever since Gao Han came up with the idea of ​​acquiring a Chinese professional team, Lin Guoping and Xiang Tianming began to contact each other. Gradually, the news spread. Many professional teams are eager to cooperate with Chinatown. Many cities Provincial and municipal governments have also extended an olive branch to Chinatown.

No joke, if Chinatown acquires their team, it will definitely help the city create a new business card, and with it, Chinatown’s nationally renowned youth training center project will vigorously develop football in the country. In the case of industry, there is no doubt that we have taken advantage of the east wind.

However, the Chinatown team also has its own considerations. First, it must have its own stadium, or be able to buy a stadium. Secondly, it is best for this team to be in a big city. After all, small and medium-sized cities do not have such a large capacity. If you can't bear a Chinese Super League team, the last thing is that the local football market cannot be too bad.

Based on its own considerations, Chinatown is also frequently dispatched, and it is indeed in contact at present. The closest one is Shenzhen.

Among Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, only Shenzhen currently does not have its own professional team, so it is very interested in entering Chinatown. In addition, Shenzhen's current team is in the second-level league and has changed hands several times, which also meets the requirements of Chinatown.

However, we are only in preliminary contact at present, and there will be negotiations to follow, and there are still many things to deal with.

"What's going on?" Gao Han asked with concern.

"The city government hopes that we can stay in BJ. You know, the BJ team is currently encountering some problems in its operations and is planning to sell its shares. If we are interested, we can take over and let us lead and operate it in the future."

"I don't like others to get involved. The other party only plans to sell part of the shares, and I have no interest in it." Gao Han shook his head.

There are many rumors from the outside that he wants to acquire the BJ team, but in fact, he has never thought about it. Firstly, it is too expensive, and secondly, there are other problems that are difficult to compromise, such as shares and stadiums.

"The city government is very kind to retain us. They said that they can come forward to communicate and coordinate, and it is not a bad idea for us to take over the whole project. Of course, we need to negotiate the price."

When Gao Han heard this, he couldn't help but frowned again. It seemed that he really wanted to stay.

"What about the stadium?" Gao Han asked again, "As far as I know, the current stadium is not owned by the BJ team."

Lin Guoping smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, but according to reliable information, if we are willing to take over the BJ team, the stadium can also change hands, but you also know that this stadium has a special symbolic meaning, we will take over the renovation of the new stadium Finally, the name cannot be changed, but some businesses can be built around it, and the city government has already been thinking about this."

"But how could the union be willing to give up?" Gao Han was curious.

You must know that there are currently commercial facilities for rent around this stadium, and the annual rent is high. Although selling the new stadium and surrounding land can make a large amount of income at once, it is also disadvantageous in the long run. .

After all, this is in the core area of ​​BJ where land is at a premium, so it goes without saying how valuable it is.

"Besides, even if the other party is really willing to sell, where will we get the money to buy it? The land price in BJ is so high, and I can't afford such a large piece of land." Gao Han smiled bitterly, but this was indeed the truth.

Based on the current land and surrounding facilities where the BJ team’s home stadium is located, the value is probably higher than that of the BJ team, right?

"Boss, you don't know this." Xiang Tianming explained with a wry smile, "This land has different uses and different values. For example, residential land is the most expensive, followed by commercial land, and industrial land is cheaper. There are some lands used for science, education and other purposes, and the prices are even lower.”

Lin Guoping nodded and said: "Yes, based on my insinuation, I think the total price of the team and the land should be within our acceptable range. Of course, this land has only one purpose, and that is a football park and commercial supporting facilities." There will also be certain restrictions.”

Gao Han understood that according to the city government's intention, this place was to be built into another landmark building in downtown BJ.

Lin Guoping is the person who knows Gao Han best. After the reorganization of Chinatown this summer, Gao Han received one billion euros in transfer fee income, and he also plans to use this money to acquire a professional team in China and build a stadium. .

If according to what Lin Guoping is saying now, it is really possible to acquire the BJ team and use this piece of land to renovate a new stadium. It will definitely be a very cost-effective deal. It can even be said that it is like taking advantage of Gao Han.

Gao Han thought he didn't have the business acumen or shrewdness, but he was relatively rational. He never believed that pie would fall from the sky, so he looked at Lin Guoping curiously.

"I do not understand why?"

Lin Guoping smiled mysteriously, said nothing, and pointed at it.

Now Gao Han understood a little bit.

When he took over as the head coach of the national team, he only negotiated with the Football Association about the salary of the coaching staff, which was 10 million euros. However, he did not discuss much about his own salary. Even Mendes did not discuss this. After intervention, the Football Association finally raised funds through various channels and gave Gao Han an annual salary of 20 million euros after tax.

But compared with Gao Han's annual salary of 100 million euros at Paris Saint-Germain, the gap is still too big, so...

"What do you think?" Gao Han looked at Lin Guoping excitedly.

The latter nodded slightly and said, "I've asked about it, it's feasible."

"What about you?" Gao Han turned to look at Xiang Tianming.

"You would be a fool if you don't agree." Xiang Tianming chuckled.

This should be regarded as a kind of compensation from the superiors for Gao Han coaching the national team.

But in the long run, if Chinatown acquires the BJ team, raises the banner of BJ Chinatown and creates a Chinese Super League and even Asia's top wealthy team, it will also be of great benefit to BJ.

Even if we can create a benchmark team in the Chinese Super League, it will be beneficial to the entire Chinese football.

"So what's the current situation of the BJ team?" Gao Han asked with concern.

Xiang Tianming shook his head this time, "Not ideal. The BJ team's performance in the past two years has not been very good. This season's performance is also not good. In May, Zaccheroni dismissed get out of class, and the team's performance has not improved." , and now we are facing stock expansion and fundraising, so the team’s performance has been very volatile, and I think this season will also be difficult.”

"However, the good thing is that the current BJ team is in a mess. If we can take over as soon as possible, there will still be enough time to reorganize, especially the coaching staff and foreign players. We should be able to make it in time for the next season."

It is only September now, and the league has just entered its final stage and will not end until the end of October. If the acquisition can be completed as soon as possible, it will indeed be in time for training and preparations for the new season.

Hearing this, Gao Han thought about it seriously and nodded: "Okay, father-in-law, I will leave this matter to you. You have full authority to negotiate on my behalf. You should know my thoughts and requirements clearly."

Lin Guoping nodded and smiled. Of course he knew exactly what his son-in-law wanted and wanted.

To be honest, although Gao Han has a great name, he is not familiar with the domestic environment, and can even be said to be very unfamiliar. Especially when it comes to dealing with the government, Gao Han knows nothing about it. This is why he agreed to help manage Chinatown in the first place.

He is an old man, and he only has Lin Xia, a daughter, so he naturally treats Gao Han as his own son. What's more, he has nothing to do after retirement, so he can help Gao Han and find a job for himself. .

"Negotiate this deal as soon as possible. I will be responsible for the competitive aspects. When the time comes, I will ask Mendes to help find suitable foreign players, and then select an outstanding head coach, so that we can get on the right track next season."

…………

…………

In the next few days, Gao Han had to start working again before he could fully rest.

First, he agreed to an exclusive interview with a well-known domestic media. This was in return for their spying on Iran's military situation.

This was Gao Han's first exclusive interview with a media reporter after becoming the head coach of the national team. It immediately caused a huge response in the domestic media field. In particular, Gao Han gave an in-depth analysis of the challenges and risks currently faced by the national team in the interview.

Many people thought that the Chinese team had won two consecutive games in the opening game and that the team's strength had greatly improved after Gao Han's coaching. However, in an exclusive interview, Gao Han said with certainty that the team was able to win two consecutive games because of the right time, place and people, especially against Iran. In this game, the home field advantage is indeed obvious.

But in the next few games, the Chinese team will also face the challenge of traveling long distances and traveling back and forth, which will also pose some new challenges to the national team.

At the same time, Gao Han also said that the national team has indeed made great progress, but the overall strength still does not have any advantage.

"Not only facing strong Asian teams like South Korea and Iran, but also teams like Uzbekistan, Qatar and Syria, we must be careful and not allow for any carelessness."

Gao Han's admonition seems even more sensible in the face of Syria's zero-0 draw with South Korea.

In an exclusive interview, he also advised all international players and fans to look at the two consecutive victories calmly and rationally.

"I want to say that the top 12 tournament has just begun. We will have more games and challenges next, and we will encounter more crises and difficulties. I hope everyone can always keep in mind why we can win two games. The winning streak is off to a great start, and only if we keep this in mind and clearly understand ourselves can we continue on this path.”

Gao Han's exhortation also aroused considerable repercussions in the country, especially the feedback from the national football players. Everyone thought that Gao Han's words made sense. Two consecutive wins does not mean everything. The team needs to continue to stay united and work together to overcome Strong enemy.

After accepting the exclusive interview, Gao Han flew non-stop to Madrid, Spain, to begin his European tour.

After handling the matter in Chinatown, he will also fly to various parts of Europe to inspect China's international players studying abroad in Europe. This will provide him with more references for recruiting international players in the next period of time.

While Gao Han was flying to Europe, Lin Guoping and Xiang Tianming, who were staying in China, also started to acquire the BJ team. Lin Guoping came forward on Gao Han's behalf to negotiate with the parent company behind the BJ team. If Chinatown becomes a shareholder, they can hand over the management rights of Team BJ.

But Gao Han was not interested in this, so the two sides basically did not have any substantive negotiations.

However, this time, the other party has obviously given in and is willing to let Chinatown acquire Team BJ. However, they also have their own requirements, such as the team name and the overall valuation of Team BJ, which require negotiations between the two parties.

Chinatown has specially set up a negotiation team, headed by Lin Guoping, to be responsible for acquisition negotiations.
