I'm afraid the old father-in-law's matter won't be handled well in a short period of time, so Zhou Buqi plans to stay in the magic city first and stop running around.

For Boss Zhou, being based in the Magic City has more advantages than being based in the capital.

First of all, Ziweixing’s international department is located in Shanghai, with a large number of foreigners and a large number of domestic and foreign business handovers. It will be more convenient to command the overall situation here and remotely control domestic and foreign Internet businesses.

In addition, Magic City is an international city and its geographical location is better than that of the capital.

Real estate business, blind box business, including Jieyu Media's film and television business, are now basically centered around the Magic City. Another very important point is the football business.

Zhou Buqi wants to engage in football in China, and the target has been chosen, which is to acquire the East Asia Football Club in Shanghai. This season is basically over. The East Asia team has failed to reach the Super League, and there are big problems on the economic level.

If a big boss can take over the club at this time, it will be a sigh of relief for the club, Xu Genbao Xu's guidance, and the local government.

But there was a bit of a negotiation disagreement.

It's the youth training business.

East Asia Football Club only has four age groups and only players, not youth training assets. The football youth training base in Chongming Island is not included.

If there is no youth training base, it means that after Zhou Buqi takes over the club, the team has no longer-term plan. Of course, most domestic Chinese Super League teams do not have youth training bases, and echelon players basically rely on recruiting

Rather than training, on the one hand, I don’t want to spend money on youth training, and on the other hand, it is also related to the general environment.

For example, Zhu Jun's Shenhua team once wanted to completely shut down the youth training echelon.

It's not that he has a bad heart, on the contrary, he is full of love for football and doesn't care about spending money on football. It's because the youth training echelons are all children, and the parents of the children hope that their children will succeed, and the coaches can rely on it when selecting talents.

Subjective will, there is room for rent-seeking by power. Many parents have to bear the humiliation and bear the burden in order for their children to play football.

In the final analysis, it has to do with the competition mechanism of the market.

Just like Manchester United.

If Manchester United's youth training echelon also engages in this practice and treats the parents of young players at the expense of their appearance, even if they don't sue or cause trouble, they will just take their children to other youth training bases.

There are football clubs all over the UK. In recent years, due to the decline in the fertility rate, there are not enough children. A lot of football youth training resources are wasted and have begun to be tilted towards girls. It is conceivable that in the next few years,

The British women's football team will attract worldwide attention.

Children in the UK who want to receive football training can just go to the youth training base to sign up. Not only are they free of charge, but they can also make money. The youth training base must provide nutritious meals, wearing equipment and training equipment, and even provide certain subsidies to the children.

This is not possible in China.

There are only a few well-known clubs in total, which are in an advantageous monopoly position. For the club, the young players will come or not if they like them! If you have more, it will not be too much, and if you have less, it will not be too much!

So much so that you have to spend money to find connections in order to play football.

Not to mention those messy clubs outside, even the Chongming Island football base under Xu's guidance requires children to pay 600 yuan in tuition every month. This is Manchester United's youth training base, and it is Manchester United's monthly tuition fee for the children.

A living allowance of £600 is provided.

Zhu Jun, who has been helping him deal with East Asian clubs, explained: "It's not surprising, it's the same in all walks of life, football is just a microcosm."

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was a little funny, "What are you feeling about again?"

Zhu Jun said: "It's not a sigh of relief, it's a basic reality of a society and the difference in initiative."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes, initiative."

Zhu Jun said: "If I don't talk about anything else, let's talk about my company. If any employee in the company is disobedient, I can fire him with just one word. The initiative is completely in my hands. I also acquired companies in South Korea. I want to

It’s not that easy to fire people. This is still the dismissal stage, let alone the recruitment stage.”

Zhou Buqi felt deeply, "Yes, when recruiting people in China, you can be picky and selective, and the recruiter firmly holds the initiative. If the job seeker has something bad, he can easily deny it, no matter what he has done.

How much effort it takes. Overseas...Silicon Valley is actually not bad. It’s almost the same as at home. The competition is fierce, supply exceeds demand, and recruitment is also very demanding. Recruiting in places like the UK, Germany, South Korea and Japan would be a big problem!”

When demand exceeds supply, the supply side takes the initiative.

When supply exceeds demand, job seekers take the initiative.

The Internet environment in Silicon Valley is similar to that in China. There are many people, not enough positions, and the competitive pressure is very high. There are many thresholds that can be set when recruiting people.

It's different in places like Europe, South Korea and Japan. Not to mention that supply exceeds demand...at least according to Ziweixing's employment standards, there are obviously not enough relevant local talents.

In order to meet the goal of job hunting, we can only lower our standards, and tolerate many minor problems as long as we can. In order to get them to join the job, even if they don't like to work overtime and don't work so hard, they can only admit it.

Because if you don't use them, there will be no one available.

You can only compromise.

But even if the supply side compromises like this, the job seekers are still dissatisfied and will continue to protest, go on strike, and organize labor unions to demand better treatment.

The employers are definitely not satisfied with being exploited by employees, which has resulted in the transfer of industries under the globalized economy. Especially some low-end industries, which have low profits to begin with, are still exploited by employees. Stop making money as soon as possible and move the industry to

Go to places with low human rights where capital has greater power.

Zhu Jundao: "In the final analysis, it depends on who has the initiative. The power is in the hands of capital, and employees must be squeezed by capital; the power is in the hands of employees, and capital can only kneel and lick employees."

Zhou Buqi was riding in the same car with him and was going to Chongming Island. When he heard this, he turned to look at him and couldn't help but said with a smile: "You haven't read too many sociology books recently?"

Zhu Jun sighed, "No, just some feelings about football. If you want to start domestic football, there is an impossible threshold to cross. In a word, there is no chance!"

"No." Zhou Buqi waved his hand, not interested in discussing some too profound topics, and then said jokingly, "If we don't discuss anything else, if we only look at the market effect, it is still determined by the relationship between supply and demand. It is caused by the shortage of the supply side.

Power rent-seeking has crushed the football dreams of too many applicants. With 1.4 billion people, we can’t select 11 people who can play football. If there are 14 million people, maybe we can really select them and really make it to the World Cup.”

Zhu Jun laughed loudly, "Amazing logic!"

Zhou Buqi said seriously: "Really, playing football depends on people. If there are too many people, people will no longer be human."

Zhu Jun couldn't help but rolled his eyes and changed the topic, "To be honest, if there is no youth training base, there will be nothing. The Chongming Island Football Base is Xu Genbao's family property, and he cannot transfer it."

Zhou Buqi asked: "Is there no chance?"

Zhu Jun said: "No chance. If nothing else, do you know how much that 100 acres of land is worth now? At least 200 million! When he bought it 10 years ago, he only spent 8 million. This time he bought the shares of the East Asia Club

Sell ​​it, pay off the loan, and this football base will become a cornucopia, and he won't sell it."

"How many loans are there?"

"About 30 million. At that time, he spent all 8 million out of his own pocket to buy this land. Then he borrowed 23 million from this land. After so many years, he couldn't make any money at all, and the loan limit was

Increased.”

"I bought the land for 8 million and got a loan of 23 million..."

"Yes, it is a specially approved land. The local government attaches great importance to it. This is a key project."

At this point, Zhu Jun hesitated and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Zhou Buqi turned to look at him and said amusedly: "What's wrong? Tell me!"

Zhu Jun said: "We also need to understand the local government and Director Xu's mentality. The local government wants to build Chongming Island into a larger football base, and Director Xu also wants to continue to make more contributions in the field of football. If you

Who dares to believe you when you buy the football base on Chongming Island? What if you start building buildings and selling houses with the ultra-low-price land specially approved by the local government? This is not like many big football bosses who use football as a pawn.

Is it a cover to make dirty money?"

Zhou Buqi couldn't laugh or cry, "What about me? How much money do I still have to pay?"

Zhu Jundao: "Who can say for sure about the future? I believe you, and they can believe you too? Domestic football has been professionalized for almost 20 years. There are too many similar histories of blood and tears, and there are lessons to be learned."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "So, the youth training base is out of business?"

Zhu Jun said: "No chance, but the club and the base belong to the same family after all, and we can establish a strategic cooperative relationship. In the future, if the base cultivates excellent echelon talents, the club can have priority."

"Let's take a look."

Zhou Buqi has basically figured it out. It seems that it is unlikely that he will buy the Chongming Island football base together with the East Asia club this time.

There are basically only three teams in the club.

There are currently adult teams, reserve teams and youth teams in the Chinese League One. There is no follow-up youth training echelon at all. If you want to further develop in the future, you can only continue to buy people from outside.

I can only sigh bitterly in my heart.

The domestic football industry is really difficult to manage. It’s hard work, no money, no thanks, and it’s hard to gain trust and support.

My heart went cold.

I feel that with my level, no matter how fancy the football business is abroad, it will be difficult to achieve any substantial results at home.

However, superficial results can still come out.

For example, they bought a few top foreign players and led the club to win the Chinese Super League and compete for the AFC Champions League. They relied on some beautiful club results to fool the leaders and coax the public.

After going to Chongming Island and communicating with local leaders and Xu Genbao again, Zhou Buqi accepted the final plan.

Spend 50 million to buy the Shanghai East Asia Club.

The acquirer is PPT Group, which is the Bubble Taochao Football Group. After the end of this season, all transfer procedures will be completed and the team will be renamed.

The new team name will be provided by the chief sponsor, Modu Taizun Real Estate Team.

Go and advertise for my old father-in-law's Taizun Real Estate Company.
