    1998 was undoubtedly a good year for the Chinese Football Association. With the continued development of 4i, the national team successfully entered the World Cup for the first time in history and achieved the best results of an Asian team in this World Cup  ¡­This also enabled the Chinese Football Association to receive high praise from the General Administration of Sports in the year-end summary.

    Although at the Bangkok Asian Games at the end of the year, the Chinese second team, which lacked all the players in Europe and most of the main players, was eliminated by the Iranian team in the semi-finals and only won third place, the flaws cannot be concealed. In the past year,  , Chinese football¡¯s achievements can be described as brilliant.

    There are competitions every year, and this year is no exception. For the Chinese Football Association, the biggest task in 1999 is undoubtedly the Olympic qualifying competition. The selection of this Olympic team is very wide. The team that performed well in the World Youth Championship the year before last  The top eight Chinese youth team, the Qianlibao youth team who returned from Brazil, includes the three main players of the national team, Nie Fei, Sun Chenghai, and Li Gang, as well as the fifth and sixth players from the Qianlibao youth team who have signed contracts with European and South American clubs.  The young players under contract should be the strongest combination in history, both in terms of personal ability and overall strength.

    But the problem now is that this theoretically extremely powerful team has not yet been formed. The most important thing is that they do not have a head coach, and there is only half a year left before the Asian group stage of the Olympic qualifying competition.

    It¡¯s not that the Football Association¡¯s work efficiency is low. In fact, their work efficiency is much higher than in history. This is of course the credit of Xu, an outstanding and prestigious chairman. Under his leadership, more and more people have  Many young people who are knowledgeable about football and understand the market conditions have entered the Football Association. With the injection of these fresh blood, the Chinese Football Association has become more and more professional and efficient.

    The reason why the head coach of the Olympic team has not yet been determined is because this position is too difficult to choose.

    The head coach who led the China Youth Team to the quarterfinals of the World Youth Championship is Tang Pengju, while the head coach of the Qianlibao Youth Team who spent five years in Brazil is Chu Guanghu. Both of them have their own strengths. Tang Pengju participated in the World Youth Championship.  experience, and Chu Guanghu is not familiar with the former Qiangbao players who will definitely become the main force. In last year's Asian Games, the Chinese team sent out only a few players of the right age in Europe.  The national team was jointly coached by these two coaches at the same time, and the final result of third place was quite satisfactory.

    It is precisely because of this that the Football Association is in trouble - who should be allowed to play and who should not be allowed to play?  The two are equally famous, capable, and qualified, and both have made great contributions in the past. No matter who doesn't become the head coach of the Olympic team, they will definitely be unconvinced.

    With no other choice, the Football Association staff had no choice but to hand over the work, so the problem fell into Xu's hands.

    As Xu, who has become the well-deserved leader of the Football Association both in fact and in name, has gained greater power to do what he thinks should be done, he must also assume greater responsibilities accordingly.

    The current Football Association is different from before. In the past, the chairman did not take care of things, and the vice-chairmen were really responsible for doing things. If anything went wrong, the chairman would be responsible for it. But now, as the chairman, Xu has started to take charge.  But all the responsibility fell on him.

    Now the General Administration of Sports is trying to let the various sports associations below have more political autonomy. The Football Association, which has done very well in both work and income in recent years, has become the first pilot. The chairman of the Football Association has  The General Administration of Sports has the highest power and does not interfere. The term of the chairman of the Football Association is four years. Re-election is decided through the evaluation of the organization, colleagues and all walks of life. Of course, there are also rigid indicators. For example, during Xu's four-year term,  The lowest hard target is to enter the finals of the Olympic Games and World Cup. The Chinese women's football team entered the semi-finals in this year's Women's World Cup, and strive to win medals in the Olympic Games - this is the task of the national team.

    So when this problem was put into Xu's hands, Xu was also in trouble. Where could he find a good coach for a while?  Although many coaches were hired after the World Cup, big-name ones could not be hired, and ordinary Xu still looked down upon him - after experiencing Benitez's unpredictable rotation skills and accurate judgment of the on-the-spot situation.  After that, Xu¡¯s horizons became much higher.

    Xu, who had no clue after thinking about it, thought of Pei Wei again. Simply asking Pei Wei to come forward and ask Benitez to stay on the Olympic team for a while seems to be a good choice.

    ***************************************************

    United States, California.

    After signing the two contracts, Pei Wei closed the contract with a snap, then shook hands with a middle-aged American opposite him with a smile on his face.

    Pei Wei smiled happily. The middle-aged American man opposite him, Paige,He also laughed happily - in the contract just now, Pei Wei's Tianyu Fund injected $40 million in venture capital into Page's Google.

    Became a 35% shareholder of this company that was established less than half a year ago.

    Page is very satisfied. Through this investment, they have raised enough funds to do what they want to do, and Pei Wei's generosity also makes him and his partner Brin very satisfied-you must know that they got the first  The investment was only a mere US$200,000, and the price paid was one percent of the shares.

    Pei Wei is more satisfied than them - no one knows better than him how much Google's assets will be in the future - he only knows that in 2006 before his reincarnation, it would not be a problem to multiply the $40 million by a thousand times -  -Owning 35% of Google's shares is probably equivalent to having an extra gold mine around you - the kind that can't be mined completely.

    Originally, Page and Brin were a little worried that the major shareholder would interfere with their operations after the investment, but Pei Wei's words dispelled their doubts: "I won't care about your operations. I just wait for every year."  Just dividendsthat¡¯s not what I¡¯m interested in.¡±

    After politely declining the invitations from Page and Brin, Pei Wei took Su Mei and left Google and returned to the hotel where they were staying.

    However, Pei Wei is a little confused - he has made too much money now - not to mention the nearly 3 million Hong Kong dollars in profits he made in the defense of Hong Kong last year, and not to mention that his shares in cerent company are about to be obtained.  With nearly three billion US dollars in cash, his shares in Google alone allow him to comfortably receive nearly ten billion US dollars in dividends every year What is this concept?

    If this money was used to play football, it would be enough to buy all the wealthy clubs in the European continent - Gretz only spent a few hundred million dollars to take over Manchester United. How many Manchester United are there in the European continent?

    "Forget it, let's not think about other things. Spending every day happily is the most important thing." Thinking of this, Pei Wei smiled slightly, turned to look at Su Mei, and made a decision in his heart.

    "What are you looking at me for?" Su Mei was a little scared when he looked at her, and a feeling of danger came to her heart.

    "Well" Pei Wei was about to speak when the phone rang without warning, interrupting his words.

    "Damn it, what bastard is so short-sighted?" Pei Wei cursed in his stomach and took out his cell phone angrily: "Who is it?"

    "I'm Lao Xu." Xu's thick voice came over the phone.

    Pei Wei became less angry and said: "Oh, it's Lao Xuwhat's the matter? Don't waste your phone bill. I'm in the United States now. International long distance calls are not cheap. Don't let your Football Association  My phone bill is overdue"

    "How can I care about this" Xu smiled bitterly and said, "I have something I want to ask you to help me with"

    "What's going on? It's so serious. Just tell me. I'll help as much as I can."

    *********************************************

    "You want Rafael to be the head coach of the Olympic team?" Pei Wei asked in surprise.

    "Yeah, don't worry, our Football Association will not treat him badly in terms of treatment. And just like when he led the national team, he is still the head coach of Yunjia Tianyu. At the same time, we give him the absolute power to select players.  Our Football Association will never interfere," Xu explained.

    Pei Wei shook his head: "That's not the problem. The key is his personal intention. We only have one year left in his contract, and he is no longer prepared to renew it. After ending his contract with us, he plans to go to Italy and  He went to England to study for half a year and then returned to a European club as a coach Because his goal is still in Europe, I tried to persuade him many times but couldn't persuade him. Think about it, he doesn't even want to be the head coach of Yunjia Tianyu.  , let alone the head coach of the Olympic team.¡±

    "Then what should we do?" Xu said anxiously: "Then give me an idea. The Olympic qualifying group stage is about to start in less than half a year. Do you want Tang Peng Ju to be the leader or Chu Guanghu to be the leader?"

    "Let me tell you, both of them are not suitable." Pei Wei shook his head and said, "It's not that I look down on them. In fact, they don't have the qualifications to become real professional coaches They can still lead the team in training, but they can't command the game.  No, there are many coaches in China like this. Qi Dashuai is also a good coach, but you have seen his achievements in leading the national team. He has not received special coaching training, so it is impossible to just rely on what he accumulated while playing football.  Who may become a good professional coach How many real world-class coaches are excellent in football? Jacquet, Lippi, Sacchi, Ferguson, Wenger Including Benitez, all of them have played well in their playing careers.  Not very good, so just because you can play well doesn¡¯t mean you can be a good coachWhen looking for a head coach, you must first make it clear that what the Olympic team needs now is not a coach who can train players to improve them, but a coach who can lead the team to victory, so the two people you mentioned are not qualified!  "
