Chapter 382

Although they only reached the top four of the Champions League, Porto fans were even more happy than winning the cup. The next day, when Porto players were training, there were still two or three thousand fans around to take photos of rising stars such as Gao Xiaodong, Falcao and Hulk.

Porto president da Costa kept his word. The next day, he put the prize money into Porto players' cards. The main player was 100000 euro and the substitute was 50000 euro. At noon, he invited the players to have a big meal together.

In the afternoon holiday, when he got home, Gao Xiaodong saw that Chen Qiang, Huang an and Zhang Liang were all here. He was surprised and said, "brother Chen, president Huang and editor Zhang, why are you all here?"

"Chen Qiang said with a smile:" this is a famous ball, we come to congratulate you

Zhang Liang sighed: "it's just to play against a big club like Manchester United. You see, if you win Manchester United, now the whole Europe is talking about you."

Gao Xiaodong said: "if you don't win, you draw two games."

Chen Qiangdao: "it's no different from winning. Anyway, Manchester United have been eliminated."

Huang an pointed to the two bottles of Maotai on the tea table and said, "I've brought all the wine from my hometown. Today we're going to get drunk."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Mr. Huang, it's not greedy. I'm in a tight competition now. I can't drink it."

Huang an said with a smile: "don't let you drink. Let's drink. You'll be the referee. Don't let Chen Qiang cheat."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "I'm good at this job. However, our chairman just invited us to eat this morning. We can't eat it now. At least let me have a rest and eat more at that time."

Xiao Le said: "you're a little promising. Now you're almost a big star."

Chen Qiang said: "Xiao Dong's temper can't be changed even if he becomes a superstar."

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "why do you want to change it? I think Xiaodong is just like this. I hope Xiaodong will become a superstar in the future, just like now."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "if editor in chief Zhang says anything, I'm still 18000 miles away from a superstar. Even if I really become a superstar, can I change someone?"

Huang an said: "Xiao Dong, you can't call chief editor Zhang in the future. You should call chairman Zhang."

Gao Xiaodong surprised: "Chairman Zhang? What's going on? "

Chen Qiang said enviously: "editor in chief Zhang's career is booming. Now he has set up an Iberian investment company. Portuguese Chinese newspaper can only be regarded as a subsidiary of the investment company."

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "I also want to thank Xiaodong. After Xiaodong came, our Portuguese Chinese newspaper always got the exclusive news of Xiaodong. The influence and development of Portuguese Chinese newspaper are getting faster and faster. Now it has expanded from 32 edition to 120 edition. Because of this, I am confident to set up this investment company. Xiaodong, when I have dinner in the evening, I will be happy to have dinner I'll give you a toast. "

Huang an sighed: "Zhang Liang and Chen Qiang, you two are holding Xiaodong's thigh. Now I'm just mixing wine and drinking. I have a boastful talk."

Chen Qiang sighed and said: "with Xiaodong's popularity and reputation, the domestic sponsorship contract must be arbitrarily selected, but I'm trapped in Portugal. I can't throw it away and I can't 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 star of hope plan, and Adidas refused to invest in the star of hope again. Now all the expenses of the children of star of hope are borne by our Xinglong brokerage culture company. It's a bottomless hole. Four or five or ten children, a day's basic necessities of life and the salary of coaches and managers, it's not a big problem The key to a small number is not to know when it will end. "

Huang an sighed: "it will take at least three years for these children to be successful. It's hard to say how many can be successful after three years. If you can't compete in Europe, you can sell some money back to China. I think you might as well disband the hope star team."

Gao Xiaodong said: "can't brother Chen find another sponsor?"

Chen Qiang said helplessly: "Chinese football has been like this. Even the Chinese Premier League has no name. Who will support the youth training with large investment and long cycle?"

High small winter way: "that disbands."

Chen Qiangdao: "the key is that it's not easy to disband. These people have training contracts with the football association and Xinglong brokerage culture company. Those who have club relations have been running back to China for a long time. For those who have no club relations like Xiaodong, there are still some who want to go abroad and break away from the club. How can I send them back? It's dozens of people, really Let's just let it go. How can we get involved in Chinese football in the future

Gao Xiaodong speechless, said: "it seems that this is really a hot potato to throw."

Huang sighed: "I hope the star of hope can have a supernova like Xiaodong, so you can go back to the original."

Chen Qiang sighed: "don't say a little winter, even a few Yang fan can do. Unfortunately, now these people are all in Portugal C, Portugal B or even the regional league."

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Xiao Dong is a genius, and there is no club. As a result, he was chased out of the star of hope by manager Li of the Football Association. Otherwise, you will make a lot of money in Xiao Dong. He is worth 40 or 50 million euros now. Porto is so cheap."Chen Qiang extremely remorseful way: "is Li Sheng that bastard, otherwise the star of hope's life is better."

When Xiao Le heard Li Sheng, he said indignantly, "he has eyes and doesn't know Taishan."

"There is no regret medicine in the world, let alone the past." Huang an said with a smile: "Chen Qiang, I'll take responsibility for you. If you are short of money, I'll help you deal with some. If you are too much, there are 100000 and 200000 euro."

Gao Xiaodong also said: "brother Chen, it's really not easy to turnover. I still have hundreds of thousands of Euro here, and I'm not very useful. Take it 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 now it's a difficult problem to cultivate these children who are the stars of hope."

Zhang Liang said: "brother Chen, my investment company has just been set up. This money can't help you. But tell me where the difficulty is. I'll see if I can help you to come up with an idea and find a relationship."

Chen Qiangdao: "although the players of the star of hope have made a lot of top-notch progress, the rest of them are also potential football players in China.

Their problem now is that they can't compete with the young players in South America and Africa. They don't play in games. At their age, how can they grow up quickly if they only play in 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 of the star of hope and set up a team, so that the competition and training can be guaranteed.

The other is to find investors to buy a Portuguese C or B club, so that the star of hope players directly participate in the Portuguese League

Gao Xiaodong said: "I'm afraid the first one is not very reliable. It's good to set up a league. Who will play? It's better to buy a team."

Zhang Liang pondered: "it will cost millions of euro to buy a Portuguese B weak brigade at least? The key is that the Portuguese Football Association will not necessarily sell. It is easy to set up a league, but I am afraid the quality of the teams involved is not high

Chen Qiangdao: "brother Zhang is right. The Portuguese Football Association and these clubs don't want to sell. They just want to give us some shares and let us invest. Besides, I haven't found any investors, so I'm now preparing to set up a hope League to bring together the players of the stars of hope

Gao Xiaodong originally wanted to say that I would help you invest, but later he shut up immediately after hearing that Portugal B also wanted several million euros, because his whole family was only five or six million euros.

Zhang Liang said: "if you can't buy a team, it's a good way. As long as these people grow up and can play in the Portuguese League, or go to other leagues, you can run."

Chen Qiang said: "there are still many relations to coordinate. Xiao Dong, brother Zhang, you have a lot of contacts in Portugal. You may need your help."

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "although I've been in Portugal for so many years, I'm not as good as Xiaodong in terms of the upper level contacts. As long as Xiaodong goes to find da Costa or Mendes, he can guarantee that everything can be settled."

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

Chen Qiang said with emotion: "whether you make money or not depends on the future of 40 or 50 children. I will not be hypocritical. Xiao Dong and brother Zhang will depend on you to help."

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "no problem. If it's successful, please give me a table."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "count me in."

Chen Qiang said: "that's a must. I'll drink to you and Xiao Dong later."

Gao Xiaodong agreed to help, and Chen Qiang's mind was half solved. Then five people talked and laughed. When monkey, Yang Fan and Yu Debao arrived, the eight people went to the cultural hotel in Porto, where they were selected as the top 100 hotels, for a big meal, and then they dispersed.
