Restricted Superstar

Although they only reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the Porto fans seemed even happier than winning the Portuguese League Cup. When the Porto players were training the next day, there were two or three thousand fans to watch and look for Gao Xiaodong, Falcao and Hu. Erke and other rising stars signed a group photo. ?

The Porto chairman Da Costa said the words, and the next day he gave the winnings for reaching the Champions League semi-finals to the Porto players, and invited the players to have a feast together at noon.

After a holiday in the afternoon, when he returned home, Gao Xiaodong saw that Chen Qiang, Huang An, and Zhang Liang were all there, and said in surprise: "Brother Chen, President Huang, and Editor-in-Chief Zhang, why are you all here?"

Chen Qiang laughed and said, "This time it's a famous goal. Let's come over and congratulate you."

Zhang Liang sighed and said: "I just want to play against a giant like Manchester United. You see, I won Manchester United. Now the whole Europe is talking about you."

Gao Xiaodong said: "If we didn't win, we tied two games."

Chen Qiang said: "It's no different from winning, anyway, Manchester United was eliminated."

Huang An pointed to the two bottles of Moutai on the coffee table and said: "I have brought all the wine from my hometown. Today we are going to get drunk."

Gao Xiaodong grinned and said, "Isn't Mr. Huang greedy? I'm in a tight game now, so I can't drink it."

Huang An smiled and said: "Don't let you drink, we drink, you will be the referee, don't let Chen Qiang be fooled."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "I am the best at this job, but our chairman just invited us to eat this morning, so we can't eat it now. Anyway, let me rest and eat more."

Xiao Le said: "You are a little prosperous, OK, you are almost becoming a big star now."

Chen Qiang said, "Xiaodong's temper can't be changed when he becomes a superstar."

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Why do you want to change? I think Xiaodong is just like this. It is grounded. I hope Xiaodong will really become a superstar in the future, as it is now."

Gao Xiaodong grinned and said: "What the editor-in-chief said, don't say that I'm still a thousand miles away from the superstar, even if I really become a superstar, can I change someone."

Huang An said: "Xiaodong, I can't call Editor-in-Chief Zhang anymore, I will call Chairman Zhang."

Gao Xiaodong said in surprise: "Chairman Zhang? What is going on?"

Chen Qiang said with envy: "Editor-in-Chief Zhang's career is booming. Now that he has established an Iberian investment company, the "Portuguese Chinese News" can only be regarded as a subsidiary of the investment company."

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I also want to thank Xiaodong. Since Xiaodong has come, our "Portuguese Chinese News" has always been able to get Xiaodong's exclusive news, and the influence and development of "Portuguese Chinese News" have also increased. It’s coming sooner, and now it’s expanded from the 32 version to the 12o version. It’s because of this that I have the confidence to set up this investment company, Xiaodong, I must toast you a few cups at dinner in the evening."

Huang An sighed and said, "Zhang Liang and Chen Qiang, you two are hugging Xiaodong's thighs. I am now drinking and drinking, and I have a bragging conversation."

Chen Qiang sighed and said depressed: "With Xiaodong's current popularity and reputation, the domestic sponsorship contract must be picked at random, but I got stuck in this stall in Portugal. I can't throw it away, or keep it."

Gao Xiaodong said in surprise: "What's wrong with Portugal?"

Chen Qiang said: "After Chairman Nan came to power, he really gave up the Hope Star project. Adidas also refused to invest in Hope Star. Now all the expenses for the children of Hope Star are paid by our Xinglong Brokerage Culture Company. Take it, this is a bottomless pit. Forty to fifty children, one day's daily necessities, food, housing and transportation plus the salary of coaches and managers, this is not a small sum. The key is that we don't know when it will end."

Huang An sighed: "It will take at least three years for these children to become successful. It is hard to say how many will be successful after three years. If you can't play games in Europe, you can sell for a few dollars back to China. I think you might as well use the Star of Hope. The team is disbanded."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Can't Brother Chen find another sponsor?"

Chen Qiang said helplessly: "Hua Guo football is already like this. Even the Chinese national league has almost no business names. Who will support this long-term youth training."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Then disband."

Chen Qiang said: "The key is that it is not easy to dissolve. These people have training contracts with the Football Association and Xinglong Brokerage Culture Company. Those who have a club relationship are good to say. They have already returned to China for the sixth time. There is no club relationship like Xiaodong. Yes, there are still some people who want to break away from the club in order to go abroad. How do I send them back? There are dozens of people, and I really don’t care about it. How will our Xinglong Brokerage Culture Company play in the Chinese football in the future."

Gao Xiaodong was speechless and said, "It looks like this is really a hot potato that is not easy to throw."

Huang An sighed and said, "I hope the Star of Hope can produce a new star like Xiaodong, so that you can get back your money."

Chen Qiang sighed and said: "Don't tell me a little winter, you can even count a few Yang Fans. Unfortunately, most of these people are now playing in Portuguese, Portuguese, Portuguese or even regional leagues."

Zhang Liang laughed and said: "Only Xiaodong is a genius, and he does not have a club. In the end, he was kicked out of the Star of Hope by Team Leader Li of the Football Association. Otherwise, one Xiaodong would make you earn money. He is worth four. 50 million euros, Porto is so cheap."

Chen Qiang said with great regret: "It's all the **** Li Sheng, otherwise the life of the Star of Hope will be easier."

When Xiao Le heard Li Sheng, he said angrily: "He has eyes but no knowledge of Taishan."

"There is no regret about taking medicine in the world. Don't mention the past." Huang An smiled and said, "Chen Qiang, just take responsibility for you. If you are short of money, I will help you deal with it. Have."

Gao Xiaodong also said: "Brother Chen, it's really not easy to turn around. I still have hundreds of thousands of euros here. I'm useless. You take it first and use it first."

Chen Qiang couldn't help shaking his head, and said, "Thank you, I can still support the funds for the time being, but it is a difficult problem to cultivate the children of Hope Star."

Zhang Liang said, "Brother Chen, my investment company has just been established. This money can't help you anymore, but if you tell me where the difficulties are, let me see if I can help you with an idea and find a relationship."

Chen Qiang said: "Although the Star of Hope players have gone a lot of top-notch players, the remaining children are also very promising among the Chinese football seedlings.

Their current problem is that they can't compete with young players from South America and Africa, and they don't have a game to play. At their age, how can they grow up just by playing games without training.

I have two plans now. One is to set up a small league similar to the regional league, to gather all the players from the Star of Hope and form a team, so that competition and training are guaranteed.

The other is to find investors to cooperate and buy a Portuguese C or Portuguese B club, so that the Star of Hope players can directly participate in the Portuguese league. "

Gao Xiaodong said: "I am afraid that the first one is not very reliable. The establishment of a league is good. Who will play? It is better to buy a team."

Zhang Liang groaned: "Buying a Portuguese C underdog will cost at least a few million euros. The point is that the Portuguese Football Association may not sell it. It is easy to establish a league, but I am afraid that the quality of the participating teams is not high."

Chen Qiang said: "Brother Zhang is right. The Portuguese Football Association and these clubs do not want to sell. They just want to give us a little share and let us pay for investment. Besides, I haven't found investors, so I am now preparing to set up a Hope League. The players from the Star of Hope gathered to compete."

The higher self helped you invest. Later, when I heard that Portugal C cost several million euros, I immediately shut up, because his entire family fund was only five to six hundred thousand euros.

Zhang Liang said: "If you can't buy a team, this is also a good way. As long as this group of people grow up and can enter Portugal and Portugal to play, or go to other leagues, you can run."

Chen Qiang said: "There are still many relationships to be coordinated, Xiaodong, Brother Zhang, you have a lot of connections in Portugal, and you may need your help."

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Although I have been in Portugal for so many years, I am not as good as Xiaodong when it comes to upper-level contacts. As long as Xiaodong finds Da Costa or Mendes, he can make sure everything can be settled."

At this time, Gao Xiaodong was not humble, and said: "Brother Chen, when do you need me to find someone, tell me directly, I'll find Da Costa and Mendes."

Chen Qiang said bluntly: "Let's talk about whether you will make money or not. It is related to the future of forty or fifty children. I am not hypocritical. Xiaodong, Brother Zhang, I will rely on your help when that happens."

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "No problem, it's successful, just ask me to have a table."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Count me."

Chen Qiang said, "That's a must, I will offer you and Xiaodong a glass when I look back."

Gao Xiaodong agreed to help. Chen Qiang's concerns were half resolved. Then the five people talked and laughed. After the monkey, Yang Fan and Yu Debao, the three of them arrived, they went to the cultural hotel in Porto to be selected as one of the top 100 hotels for a big meal , And then dispersed separately. 8
