In early July, Yang Dongxu left the United States for Spain. Regarding José's proposal, he gave the opinion that he could try to cooperate, but he emphasized what José said about pure business cooperation. If this cooperation can be successful, perhaps some of his early plans in Europe and the United States can be realized faster.
Many people think that the capital of Spain is Barcelona, but in fact the capital of Spain is Madrid. Barcelona is only the second largest city in Spain, and Madrid also has two powerful giants, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
However, Atlético Madrid’s global reputation and status in the hearts of players are not as good as that of Real Madrid, which is in the same city. Real Madrid is regarded by many as the name of a football giant and will not be linked to the capital of Spain. Therefore, most Talent Feeling The capital of Spain is Barcelona.
The negotiating team that has been negotiating with Barcelona shareholders for more than half a year finally made a breakthrough last week. After nearly three years, Yang Dongxu finally got his wish and acquired Barcelona, a wealthy team with a strong historical background.
According to his previous style, he did not attend the signing ceremony. Even at the press conference when it was announced, his name was not mentioned. Everyone knew that this was a consortium from the East that acquired Barcelona, but there was no way of knowing who it was.
And I came here today because the summer transfer has begun. As the big boss, he needs to have a meeting with the team's management to see how this former giant, which has been very poor in the past two years and has dropped to fifteenth place, will be in the next season. Walk.
Yang Dongxu's arrival was very low-key, with an inconspicuous car and no fanfare other than Du Fei following him. When you enter the Barcelona club and walk around, you feel more like a tourist with a privileged entrance than the big owner of this club.
But when he, the seemingly casual boss, walked into the club's meeting room, his expression gradually turned serious. In addition to the club's management, there were also many club members in the conference room.
Generally speaking, a wealthy football club has many members, and many members are even shareholders of the team. But now Yang Dongxu has taken over all the shares in Barcelona.
Therefore, the members of the football club sitting in the conference room are basically the managers of the club. A team sells tickets, operates advertising, transfers broadcast rights, football lottery, corporate sponsorship, various football publications, player transfer fees, Customized stadium seats, etc. are all managed by the club.
In short, a football club is like a company, with various departments having managers of each department, and the chairman of the club is the actual manager of the team chairman, just like the CEO of the company.
"I know that the team was acquired by me, and some shareholders sold their shares and left the club directly, which makes you feel very uncomfortable, confused, and hesitant about the future." Yang Dongxu, who was sitting in the main seat, didn't look like a smile. , but not too serious.
His eyes swept over the club members sitting in the conference room. These people involuntarily sat up straight and looked at this young man with an oriental face. When Yang Dongxu spoke, everyone had a look of surprise on their faces. .
Because Yang Dongxu didn't speak Chinese, he didn't have a translator with him, and he didn't speak English. He spoke Spanish, and he didn't have any accent or stutter. It was pure Spanish. If you didn't look at his face, you would think he was an authentic person. Spaniards are talking.
This made the big boss who had almost used brute force to throw money at the new arrival to win over Barcelona, a wealthy club, couldn't help but feel more close to them. They had been very resistant to the arrival of this big boss before. After all, throwing money at the wealthy club was against them. Insult, even if those shareholders are very happy to accept this insult, many people present are very happy to be insulted like this.
"But this is already an established fact. As long as I don't sell my shares, there is no doubt that Barcelona is mine." Yang Dongxu said very straightforwardly.
People who had some affinity with him suddenly frowned again. Although he was stating the facts, no one liked this domineering way of speaking.
But Yang Dongxu didn't seem to notice this and continued: "The team will undergo certain reforms in the future. Not only will the team members sell a group of members and then sign a group of new members, but the management will also do the same.
I have read the recommendations you listed before. Laporta is the club president, and I want Frank Rijkaard from the Dutch team as the head coach.
This is not a discussion, this is a direct appointment, so no matter what opinions you have in mind, or whether you agree or disagree, you cannot affect the outcome of this time. Those who don't like it can leave now. I think there are many people who would be happy to take over your current position. "
If what I said just now made people in the conference room feel that this boss is more domineering, then he is now an absolutely powerful dictator. The meeting was to discuss some things, but this big boss seemed to have no intention of discussing and directly mentioned the things that needed to be discussed. The result is set and no one is allowed to question it. This is the final decision. If you don't like it, you can get out.
There were a few bad-tempered people who immediately got up and left the meeting room, and even cursed shit when they left, thinking that a tyrant had come to Barcelona and would sink completely and be submerged in the dust of history and would never be able to stand out again.
This caused a few wavering people to leave, and those who stayed behind had different expressions on their faces and obviously had other plans in mind. After all, although they can still get a salary while sitting in their current position, if the big boss continues to mess around like this, the team is likely to have no results, and they undoubtedly have no future, so it is better to make plans early now. .
Yang Dongxu ignored the people who left and the little thoughts of those who stayed, "If no one leaves, the meeting will officially begin now.
At present, I have no plans to change the supervisors and managers of each department. The salary of employees in all positions will be 10% higher than before. Whether it will be increased in the future will depend on the performance of the team. Now Laporta leaves the rest to leave. "
Everyone looked at their random big boss, then looked at Laporta, who was surprised, disbelieving and a little overwhelmed, got up and left the meeting room.
Several of them looked very ugly, because they had been strong competitors for the club president or the head coach before, but it was strange that they were not happy in these two positions.
"Do you have the confidence to manage the team well?" There were only two people left in the conference room, Yang Dongxu's assistant and Laporta. Yang Dongxu looked at Laporta and asked.
"I..." Facing this big boss who was obviously much younger than him, Laporta didn't know why he suddenly felt a pressure he had never felt before.
"You have absolute dominance in the club, and you can even decide whether to leave or stay on the team. In short, I will fully support you no matter what you want to do. If anyone disobeys, you can directly bench him or even I will resolve the issues of expulsion, liquidated damages and compensation. In a word, can you manage the team well?" Yang Dongxu stared at Laporta.
"I..." For some reason, Laporta felt his face turn red, even a little hot. Facing Yang Dongxu's increasingly sharp gaze, he felt that his heart was about to burst out of his chest. Finally, he It took almost all the strength of his body to shout out two words: "Yes!"
"Very good!" Yang Dongxu clapped his hands, as if he was very satisfied with Laporta's choice: "Now can you tell me how you manage this team and this club?"
"I..." After Laporta shouted two words, his body slumped in the chair became tense again. For some reason, he felt that the very young and smiling boss in front of him looked very similar. is a devil.
A devil who lures people to trade with him. Once he gets involved, he has to continue trading in order to get more, even if he is afraid in his heart.
"I want to keep Luis Figo." Laporta said, controlling his heart that was beating violently again.
"Is he willing to stay?" Yang Dongxu asked with his expression unchanged.
Yang Dongxu naturally understands the current Barcelona star and even one of the best players in the world. But it was precisely because of this knowledge that he felt unable to keep Figo.
However, he was very satisfied with Laporta's entry point. Laporta did not make any ambitious promises, nor did he say how he would attack the club's management. Instead, they directly want to keep the star players based on the team's performance next season.
Therefore, he, the club chairman who was suddenly stunned by the pie in the sky, still has a certain ability to cope with the sudden work that requires decision-making. He knows that good performance of the team is everything, and anything else is nonsense.
"This..." Laporta's face darkened.
He knew that it was basically impossible to keep Figo. This was not a question of whether Yang Dongxu was willing to pay more. But as one of the best players in the world today, Figo wants more championships and more honors. And Barcelona, which is trapped in a precarious future with an uncertain future, is obviously not the one he wants to choose.
"This is the player list I prepared for you for the new season." Yang Dongxu gestured to the assistant beside him, who placed a list in front of Laporta, who was still in a state of emotional agitation and could not calm down.
"This..." After taking a look at the list, Laporta's expression suddenly changed.
"Try to operate as much as possible. I hope that the above players can appear on Barcelona's playing list next season. Especially Zidane, since we have no way to retain Luis Figo, then we will get him. Compared to Luis, I I feel he is more suitable for Barcelona.
In addition to him, there are Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Giuly, Larsson... In short, don't be afraid of running out of money. If you don't have money, I can continue to invest money in the club.
In short, the first column of stars on the list must be taken, and you can choose the others at your own discretion. I don't expect what will happen in the first half of next season. I can even give you time to train throughout the season, but you must give me a satisfactory answer next season. Otherwise, replace get out of class with another person." Yang Dongxu felt that he was following the trend of Russian financial oligarch Abramovich.
If you don't agree, throw money at it. If it doesn't work, throw more money. If it doesn't work, then all the club presidents and head coaches will get out. You can also sell the players you hired with high salaries. In short, if you want players, I will buy them for you. , If you want a coach, I will spend money to get it for you. If you don’t get out of here if you don’t get good grades, who will?
After pondering for a moment, Laporta nodded vigorously: "I will complete the task you assigned."
After just a few minutes of thinking, he felt that the shirt on his back was wet with sweat. The young boss in front of him was not only strong, but also overbearing.
But why is it so satisfying to work with this boss? Is it because the other party gives you a lot of absolute power? Or will he have a bright future after winning these players on the list?
"only......"
"If you have any other questions, just ask them. As long as they can be solved with money, it's not a problem." Yang Dongxu said.
"Um..." Rapordo felt that his values of nearly forty years had been hit hard again. He felt that the boss in front of him was a bit pretentious, but why did the boss' pretentiousness make him feel so superior?
"It's about the club's external media. Just now...a lot of people have left. Louis is going to be traded away, and even many members of the team are going to be traded away, as well as the replacement of the head coach. Although This list has been added, but what should be the caliber externally to the fans?" Laporta has begun to enter the role of chairman of his club.
"Let's operate the players on the list first. As long as Zidane is bought, the public opinion pressure will be reduced by at least half, and all the famous players on the list will be brought over. The fans' doubts will turn into expectations, and then you don't have to worry about the tickets. Selling problem.
As for being scolded by the fans for not performing well, that is a problem between you, the team members and even the head coach, and has nothing to do with me. "Yang Dongxu shrugged.
"Um..." Looking at his big boss, Laporta, he suddenly became speechless, as if what you said makes sense and I am speechless.
But when I think about it carefully, the big boss seems to be trying to blame others, but I have to say that what he said makes sense. First of all, those people who just left the conference room will definitely make all kinds of nonsense in the media. There is no way to control this. You can't kill people and silence them, right?
Therefore, when the sale of Louis is questioned by fans and even demonstrations occur, taking Zidane, who is also one of the best stars in the world today, is the best way to deal with it.
Then, the subsequent signings of famous players in various positions seemed to be a waste of money without any skills. But stars are stars as long as they can attract questions from fans and complaints from those who are unconvinced and quit membership.
The arrival of these stars can bring more fans to Basara and make the tickets easier to sell. So in the end it’s a matter of team performance. With so many stars and the inability to produce corresponding results, is it not the fault of him as the chairman and head coach, or whose fault is it?
