    This guest house is not big, but it is already the largest and best-equipped guest house near Haigen Base. In the largest room of this guest house, dozens of middle-aged or elderly men gathered.  There was smoke and whispers.

    These people have different looks and ages, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they all carry the temperament of a successful person - a very ethereal temperament, but judging from the demeanor and style of their conversation,  , are not small people.

    These people are naturally the bosses of the twenty-eight clubs A, A, B.

    It has been two full years since the last such meeting. The last time Pei Wei gathered all the club bosses under the guise of informing them about the salary limit order issued by the Football Association - it was only at Haigeng spring training.  This condition only existed during the 1980s. In normal times, everyone would be far apart. It would be difficult to gather together.

    However, the benefits brought by the last meeting are obvious. After controlling player income, the expenses of each club have been greatly reduced. Although there are still basically no clubs that can achieve profitability, they can still maintain the minimum accounts.  Balance, a club can still afford to lose thousands of dollars every year.

    After all, these thousands are nothing compared to the brand effect brought by a team.

    I think back then, a winery in Shandong spent hundreds of millions of advertising dollars in order to obtain prime time advertising time on CCTV. The effect obtained was probably not as great as the naming rights of an ordinary mid-tier A-A team.

    Therefore, these bosses have done a good job in the past few years. They have saved money for the group and achieved results. Just looking at the looks on the faces of the bosses who came today, you can see that they have done a good job in the past two years.  The spring breeze is triumphant, and my little life is very nourishing.

    Most of the people who came today are old faces from the last party. Of course, there are also a few new people who have joined. The most eye-catching ones are probably the boss Hualong from Shandong and the boss Zhang Bing from Liaoning. Although they are new newcomers, they are still present.  None of the other bosses dare to look down on them - in terms of personal assets, except for Pei Wei who can stabilize one of them, the other bosses are really nothing.

    The table was filled with drinks and high-end cigarettes, which were supplied by the owner of the Yunnan team who had just joined the A-level A team. The last time such a party was held, the Yunnan team was still a B-level team, so this time Yunnan¡¯s President Feng took the initiative to ask for all the drinks and cigarettes.  Let¡¯s talk about the ¡°Friendship of Landlords¡±. As a club that has just been upgraded, it is very important to have good relations with other clubs.

    Seeing that people had almost arrived, Pei Wei coughed lightly: "Everyone, please be quiet."

    The bosses all quieted down. Of course they were not here to drink, smoke and chat. In the final analysis, such a gathering was nothing more than a discussion between clubs on how to obtain greater benefits in the league.

    "The last time we got together was two years ago, right?" Pei Wei smiled and said something nonsense: "In the last gathering, everyone abided by the unwritten rules set, and  The results are good. I think the economic situation of your clubs has improved to a certain extent in the past two years, right? I think the purpose of gatherings like this is nothing more than to bring everyone together and work together to come up with some good ways to increase growth.  The income of the club will increase the attractiveness of the league. First, it will make Chinese football develop faster. Second, it will make fans more happy to watch football. Third, we can also get more benefits - everyone said so.  no?"

    The bosses all laughed, and Pei Wei's words spoke to their hearts. Of course, the third item should be put first, but if you can complete the first two while completing the third item,  That would be more perfect.

    "So, there is no clear goal for today's gathering. After all, the league has been developing very well in recent years. If you have any good and reasonable suggestions, please put them forward and let's discuss them together. As long as  It¡¯s beneficial to everyone, so there¡¯s no reason not to pass it, right?¡±

    After saying these words, Pei Wei sat down, picked up the tea cup and blew it gently, while his eyes kept looking at the faces of several heavyweight bosses.

    Dalian's Mr. Wang has a relatively indifferent expression. Last year, Dalian Dongfang's performance was extremely poor. Being ranked outside the tenth place was a great shame for all Dalian people. It seems that during the intermission period of the league, Mr. Wang's life was not easy.  Finding a coach and buying players are enough for him, so he probably won't make any suggestions. Shanghai's President Yu doesn't look too good either. In the past few years, Shanghai Shenhua has taken on the title of a strong team, but has not been able to gain it.  What great results? He claimed to win the championship every year, but was pushed to third place every year. Beijing's Zhang Zongze had a relatively calm expression. Originally, Beijing Yulin was a relatively aloof team among the A-A teams. At the feet of the emperor, he was the symbol of the capital.  Its strength is also in the A-levelAlthough they basically don¡¯t have much hope of winning the championship, they are a strong team.

    They are doing pretty well. As for the bosses of other small and medium-sized clubs, they have less say than they do. It is probably impossible to expect them to speak.

    Pei Wei paid more attention to the expressions of Zhang Bing and Hualong. Hualong still looked cold, as if someone owed him two hundred dollars, while Zhang Bing had a Hexi smile on his face, looking aloof from the world.  No contention.

    To be honest, even Pei Wei can't think of any ideas that can allow each club to obtain greater benefits. At this stage of the league, basically all the financial resources that each club can develop have been developed, such as tickets, broadcast fees, and fan supplies.  ¡ª¡ªEven if the traditional income of European giants is only a few items, in addition to the share of the Champions League, other incomes that Chinese clubs should develop have been developed. Although it is far less than the income of European teams, the consumption level of Chinese fans  Put it there, this is not something that can be increased overnight.

    To put it bluntly, Chinese clubs are now operating with debt. All the bosses can do is to make the club lose less and make the group feel that these losses can be made up elsewhere. Like Mr. Zhou in Wuhan, he  His club loses nearly 10 million every year, but his Yazhi Group saves at least 20 million in advertising costs, so although it is a bit difficult, it can still be supported.

    As for player transfers, domestic transfers are just one thing. However, there are still too few players in China that can make Europe interested. Except for Yunjia Tianyu, who has made a lot of money in the sale of several foreign players.  In addition, the benefits brought by other international players playing abroad cannot even make up for the losses caused by the decline in team strength.

    So from a certain perspective, the prosperity of a league is closely related to the overall level of the national economy. If the per capita income is high, there will be more fans who have the financial ability to go to watch the game, so the club's income will also increase.  There will be a corresponding increase, so that they can afford better stars. If the per capita income is low, then the stars will only be lost quickly. The giants in the Brazilian and Argentine leagues basically rely on exporting stars to Europe to survive, so their countries  Although the team's level is world-class, European teams have clearly had the upper hand in the Toyota Cup competition in recent years.

    The decline of Serie A seems to prove this - of course only Pei Wei knows this at this time - after entering the 21st century, with the slow economic growth in Italy and the increase in the unemployed population, a large number of small and medium-sized clubs can only rely on sales.  Players are provided to maintain the normal operation of the team. Among the seven Serie A sisters who were extremely glorious in the European arena in the mid-to-late 1990s, Fiorentina was once relegated to Serie C due to bankruptcy. It once won the Serie A runner-up and even achieved good results in the Champions League.  Parma can only make a living by selling players. The stars they sold can even form a luxurious team capable of winning the European Champions Cup - Buffon, Cannavaro, Thuram, Veron, Qui  Yesa, Crespo, Mutu, Adriano, Gilardino After selling so many stars, Parma has completely become a weak team that fights for relegation every year. As for  Lazio, after spending crazy money to buy people and win a league championship, this team quickly fell into decline. It also changed from a championship team to an ordinary team, except for the huge financial support behind it.  Outside of the top three in the north, even Rome can only live on a budget.  Looking back at the Premier League, even mid-range teams like Tottenham, Newcastle and Manchester City can easily spend tens of millions of euros to buy players. It is not surprising that the Serie A teams are overshadowed by the Premier League teams in the Champions League.  Something happened.

    Thinking of this, Pei Wei sighed. The football industry has never existed outside the national economy. It seems that if Chinese football wants to develop at this stage, it can only take the grassroots route, which is to vigorously develop youth football and increase the number of players to train.  Infrastructure, follow the route of South American leagues such as Brazil and Argentina, focus on exporting players, and use European teams to cultivate stars for the Chinese national team while gaining economic income. This is the path that is most suitable for the current situation of Chinese football.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: In addition to themselves, the Chinese League has also attracted tycoons with huge wealth like Hualong and Zhang Bing, but how many such Chinese tycoons are there?  Even if there are many, I'm afraid not many are interested in investing in football.

    Seeing the silence among the bosses present, Pei Wei secretly thought, wouldn¡¯t he have no suggestions at all?  Then this gathering would be meaningless - I originally planned to come to such a gathering every year and eventually form a formal professional alliance, but it seems that I am still a little anxious.

    At this time, Zhang Bing suddenly raised his hand and said with a gentle smile: "I have a suggestion"
