football is not round

Next time:
Governor Chen in the main mansion was meeting investors from several other teams in the province, and they were discussing enthusiastically.

And Nuan Xiaoxi here in Shengcheng is still seriously eating this bowl of stewed noodles that has been sitting for a long time, Nuan Xiaoxi doesn't know what Governor Chen means by coming here at this time?
Is it for me to win?Or don't let me win?This is the question that Nuan Xiaoxi has been circling in her mind for a long time after knowing that Governor Chen is coming tomorrow.

In the official residence, Governor Chen received investors from the other three football clubs in the province in his office.Currently there are four professional football clubs in Liao Province, of which there are two second-tier teams in Xiaolian City.There was originally a team in the Super League, but because the team went bankrupt, it had to be reorganized and started again from the second division, similar to the previous Shengcheng picture-in-picture football club.The other two teams in the province are the Shengcheng PIP Football Club and the Shenbei team in Shengcheng.Since Governor Chen will visit the Shengcheng team alone tomorrow, he will not be invited today.The investors of the Shenbei team were invited to come here today.

In fact, the domestic football market has been particularly sluggish in recent years. Investors would not be willing to invest in football if it were not for the support of local policies.After all, the current football club is a question of how much to lose, to make money?I dare not even think about it.Even Nuan Xiaoxi had the opportunity to establish the so-called European player output system after a large investment in the early stage. As for the return of the cost, it will be a few years later.

After all, football is a business, so when many cities in China no longer support football, the enthusiasm of football investors has rapidly declined.But now the general environment has changed again. The new secretary likes football, so the thinking of the provinces has gradually begun to change.Today, Governor Chen specially met with investors, with the idea of ​​stabilizing the morale of the army and solving the problem.

"Okay, I talked a lot with the bosses today, and the problems are also specific. After the meeting, I will implement them in a timely manner and solve them so that you won't be wasted." Governor Chen concluded.

All the investors stood up one after another, shaking hands with Governor Chen and saying goodbye.

When it comes to Shenbei football team investors: "It's not easy to stay in the first division, and we have to make persistent efforts to do a good job in our internal skills."

"Don't worry, leader. We will develop in a down-to-earth manner, and please give more support to the leader." The Shenbei team investor responded.

"Well, tomorrow I'll go to the Shengcheng team to meet Nuan Xiaoxi, and I'll take care of your matter tomorrow." Governor Chen concluded.

"Thank you, leader, I hope the leader will visit us if he has the opportunity."

"Yes, don't worry."

After Nuan Xiaoxi finished the big bowl of braised noodles, she walked out of the cafeteria shyly, followed by Zhu Guangliang and Ma Feifei.

"Ma, please contact Mr. Li, Mr. Sun, Mr. Mao, and Mr. Shi, who is in charge of security, for a meeting in the conference room in 10 minutes."

"They should already be in the meeting room, I'll go over to confirm now." Ma Feifei said.

"Oh, it's pretty fast."

"Xiao Sun told me when I went upstairs just now, Mr. Li said that you don't need to rush over there, let's finish our meal first, and just go over later."

"Oh. Got it. Let's go back to the office to tidy up before we go. By the way, Guangliang, you go there too, and you will receive the reception tomorrow. From now on, you will be in charge of the main mansions on both sides, and I will save myself some trouble. You can see when you have a position in the club. The vice president is fine, I am the vice president myself."

"Hey, just watch it. I can do anything." Zhu Guangliang said with a smile.

"Let's get a deputy manager of outreach, and you can get more salary."

"Understood, I'll talk to President Li later." Ma Feifei responded.

"Thank you, Sister Feifei," Zhu Guangliang responded with a smile.

"Don't thank me?" Nuan Xiaoxi looked at Zhu Guangliang blankly.

"I drive for you every day, and I haven't asked for the driver's money yet." Zhu Guangliang joked.

"That's right." Nuan Xiaoxi was also happy.

Nuan Xiaoxi and his entourage returned to his office, and Nuan Xiaoxi's assistant in the Shengcheng team, Xiao Sun, came up, "Mr. Nuan, just now Mr. Li sent someone over to say that they can just come to the conference room at 03:30 in the afternoon, and they have their own affairs."

"Okay, how much longer?"

"Ten minutes left."

"You guys are busy with each other. I'll squint for a while and wake me up 7 minutes in advance."

"Okay." Assistant Xiao Sun responded.

Maybe this person gets sleepy easily when he gets fat, and Nuan Xiaoxi really squinted for a while while lying on the sofa in the office.

"Mr. Nuan," Ma Feifei called him, and seeing him sit up with his eyes open, she handed him a towel moistened with warm water.

Nuan Xiaoxi wiped her face and said, "Xiao Lian's matter has not been dealt with cleanly. I was just looking for him, and now I came to the door by myself."

"Then ask Mr. Li Benjia from the real estate company to come over tomorrow?"

"No," Nuan Xiaoxi vetoed it.

"Then Guang Liang can't talk to me either."

"Don't underestimate Guangliang. You may not be able to handle Secretary Li in the city in the future, so you should use Guangliang more."

"Ah."

"I must have something to do when I come to the door tomorrow, otherwise I wouldn't come here at this time."

"Hand the ball?"

"That's not true. Such a big leader naturally knows how to avoid suspicion."

"That's nothing else." Ma Feifei thought for a while and replied.

"Mr. Nuan." At this time Zhu Guangliang entered the office.

"What's the matter?" Nuan Xiaoxi asked.

"I just communicated with the provincial government. Now Governor Chen is holding a meeting with several football investors. It should be a communication meeting. Investors from Xiaolian's two clubs and Shen Beidu have all gone."

"Is it reliable?"

"Really, my friend saw some bosses go to Governor Chen's office."

"What are you talking about?"

"The news from Xiaobei is just to talk casually about the club's management, without any special materials."

"What time does it open?"

"Looking at the governor's itinerary, it takes about 45 minutes, and there should be 15 minutes to finish."

"Well, then you don't need to go to the conference room, wait here for the exact news and then go and tell me alone."

"Ok."

"Especially the news about us must be accurate."

"Understood," Zhu Guangliang answered and left Nuan Xiaoxi's office.At the team's new base, Nuan Xiaoxi reserved an office for Zhu Guangliang alone, and this office is sometimes used by Nuan Xiaoxi's assistant Wang Xue from the real estate company.

"Come on, let's go there first." Nuan Xiaoxi said to Ma Feifei.

"Okay." Ma Feifei walked towards the conference room with the materials and Nuan Xiaoxi.

In fact, the meeting is also very simple for Nuan Xiaoxi. These meetings are usually hosted by the general manager Li Jinyu, and Nuan Xiaoxi always listens.In addition, we still have to wait for Zhu Guangliang's news today, so Nuan Xiaoxi read the meeting progress briefing, listened to the preparation progress reported by other people at the meeting, and had nothing else to do.

"Mr. Nuan, the news is out." Zhu Guangliang opened the door, walked quietly to Nuan Xiaoxi, and whispered.

Nuan Xiaoxi pointed in the direction of the door, then got up and went out to return to her office.

"What's the situation?" Nuan Xiaoxi sat down on her office chair and asked.

"I heard that several clubs talked about their current team situation, and the problems encountered by the company."

"What can he solve!" Nuan Xiaoxi said tirelessly.

"But there is something that concerns us."

"The Shenbei team doesn't want those members of our reserve team?" Nuan Xiaoxi stood up after finishing speaking, turned and looked out the window.

"Yes." Zhu Guangliang answered very simply, he knew that Nuan Xiaoxi was in an extremely bad mood right now.

"If you want, just give me face, what can we get?" Nuan Xiaoxi turned around and asked.

"I heard that Governor Chen just wants us to lower the price."

"The matter of money is easy to discuss. I want to ask about the current school relocation progress in Dalian. I want a specific timetable."

"Okay, I'll go and confirm." Zhu Guangliang left Nuan Xiaoxi's office.

"Ask President Li to come to my office to discuss something." Nuan Xiaoxi picked up the phone on the table and said to assistant Xiao Sun.

"Okay, I'll go right away." The club's assistant Xiao Sun replied.

After a while Li Jinyu walked into Nuan Xiaoxi's office and sat opposite Nuan Xiaoxi's desk.Li Jinyu has worked with Nuan Xiaoxi for more than two years, and he knows that every time he comes in and sits in a different position, the things he must deal with must be different.Usually, when there are business deals, or when simply listening to Li Jinyu's report, he would sit on the sofa and coffee table.And today's sitting position is definitely not something that can be bargained.

"What's the matter with Mr. Nuan?" Li Jinyu asked first.

Nuan Xiaoxi kept looking at Li Jinyu without speaking for a long time, Nuan Xiaoxi took a sip of tea from the cup, and said slowly: "I know what Governor Chen means by coming tomorrow."

"What do we need to do?" Seeing Nuan Xiaoxi's dignified expression, Li Jinyu knew that it was not an ideal expression.

"Has Shen Bei contacted those members of the reserve team before?"

"I have contacted, but the discussion is not in-depth, and the price quoted is too low."

"Let's talk about it again, and you can express your opinion on this matter tomorrow."

"Ok."

"The price will increase for Shen Bei, you can figure it out!" Nuan Xiaoxi set the tone lazily. "In the end, if the price is too outrageous, it's not our problem." Nuan Xiaoxi continued after taking a sip of water. "You don't need to tell me the process, just tell me when you have the final result. Tomorrow Governor Chen asks, and you just answer the call."

"Okay. What are your requirements for the reception tomorrow?" Li Jinyu asked.

"Who are you going to arrange for tomorrow's reception?"

"You, me, Ma Feifei, the others didn't think about it. Put Xiaosun and my assistant Xiao Cao in the room service, who else do you think will be put in?"

"Manager Zhu Guangliang, by the way, I'll ask Ma Feifei to find you to be the deputy manager of the outreach later."

"Ok."

"Sister Cat, let's go too, this is a celebrity, what do you think?"

"I also suggest that she accompany."

"That's all. By the way, the province said that it will be on the rostrum tomorrow or in the box?"

"Your box, that's what the province said."

"Oh"

"The province doesn't want to be too high-profile this time, so I arranged for your box."

"Okay, can I eat in the middle?"

"The province named the barbecue you ate before."

"Hehe, I've also made it famous for eating, it's amazing."

"Haha..." It was rare that the atmosphere became a little relaxed.

"I won't go over to the meeting. Manager Guangliang will come over later and I need to communicate with the real estate company."

"I see." Li Jinyu stood up and said goodbye.

"Sister Cat, you can notify her directly," Nuan Xiaoxi instructed.

"Okay, I'll let her know in a moment."

After a while, Zhu Guangliang walked into Nuan Xiaoxi's office with the materials.

"Guangliang, what's the situation with Xiaolian?" Nuan Xiaoxi asked after taking the materials Zhu Guangliang brought over.

"Well, the news from Xiaolian is that the relocation of the two junior high schools should be in the process. The primary school is still in communication with the city, and there is no clear timetable."

"What did Li Benjia say?"

"Mr. Ben Jia has already gone to Xiaolian to communicate. It is estimated that he will meet the mayor of Xiaolian the day after tomorrow."

"The city can't help with the process, and the province can't help either."

"Do you think you need to say hello to Governor Zhou? How about saying hello to Xiaolian's secretary when you are in the Standing Committee?"

"Bottom-up is a good idea, but obviously there are not many schools that can and need to be relocated. I read in the information that these two schools are the only ones that need it now."

"Yes, so now we don't have much room for maneuver. After all, school resources are also involved in other real estate company projects, and it's not easy to handle."

"I know, is there any other news? Why do I feel that Governor Chen won't just come and ask for something directly, so he should give some sweet dates, right?"

"I don't know, but if the project can be approved at the top, it might be easier for the bottom to advance."

"What project?" Nuan Xiaoxi looked up at Zhu Guangliang.

"Such as changes in the rules for school ratings."

"Oh..."

"I see."

"What exactly does President Ben Jia need my help to implement tomorrow?"

"I didn't say it, I just said that I'll watch it after communicating with Mayor Xiao Lian the day after tomorrow."

"The mayor is older than the governor!" Nuan Xiaoxi said with emotion.

The next day, the sky was clear, and Nuan Xiaoxi drove the Zhonghua SUV to Mengxi Stadium early at noon.

"Have you eaten yet?" Nuan Xiaoxi asked casually when she saw Ma Feifei when she got out of the car.

"I didn't eat it."

"Let's go out and have something to eat together." Nuan Xiaoxi waved at Ma Feifei.

"I'm not going, I still have things to do. I have to follow up to check on the security, procedures and so on."

"Then I'll ask Guang Liang to pack it for you and bring it back?"

"Pull it down, he's too busy, and asked me to pack it for food."

"What is he doing as a driver?"

"Outreach manager, this is not responsible for the layout of the venue."

"What venue?"

"Your box and Li Zhong's box."

"What's the arrangement? Can it produce flowers?"

"Who knows?"

"Let me pack some fried rice for you."

"Okay." Ma Feifei said and left.

"Guangliang, where are you?" Nuan Xiaoxi picked up the phone and called Zhu Guangliang.

"I'm in the box." Zhu Guangliang answered the phone.

"What are you busy with? Don't even have time to eat?"

"Isn't there something ready?"

"No one is in charge? Is it your turn?"

"Well, what should I do? I'm in charge?"

"Give it to someone else, I'm in the parking lot, let's go out to eat together." Nuan Xiaoxi arranged.

"Okay, wait for me."

"How many minutes?"

"A little over ten minutes."

"The beef noodle shop, I'll order you a beef noodle first, you can come here directly." Nuan Xiaoxi concluded.

"Okay, I'll go find you."

Twenty minutes later, Zhu Guangliang arrived at the chain beef noodle restaurant in a hurry.

"You eat now, can you still eat later?" Zhu Guangliang asked Nuan Xiaoxi.

"Hey, I woke up a little late in the morning, and my mind was full of ideas, so I wrote something. Then I realized that time was too tight, and I didn't have time to eat anything."

"Don't eat breakfast, gallstones."

"Pull it down." After Nuan Xiaoxi finished speaking, she stood up to fetch the two bowls of noodles that were ready. "Give me another package of fried rice." Nuan Xiaoxi said to the chef inside.

"Okay." The inside responded.

After a while, the two of them finished eating beef noodles, and Nuan Xiaoxi walked back to the stadium with the packed fried rice and Zhu Guangliang.

"How is the performance over there this month?"

"The tax support has come down. The pre-sales in Shengcheng are good now, and the expansion of the school is on the agenda. The second-tier cities are now seeing that Anxi and Fujin are also selling well and keeping up with the progress. Xiaolian's expectations for this year are not high, so there is nothing wrong with the performance progress now." Zhu Guangliang reported while walking.

"Do you think Xiao Lian should change his general?"

"Who's going there?"

"Let Ma Feifei go and work for a while. Then choose one of the other second-tier city managers. What do you think?"

"Who is the second line vacant for?"

"Who do you mention? Let Li Banjia handle it by himself." Nuan Xiaoxi said.

"You still think Xiao Lian's progress is not good?"

"It's not that it can't be done, it's that it's going around in circles, it's not going to work at all!"

"Then when Mr. Ben Jia returns to Shengcheng in a few days, let Mr. Ben Jia and I talk about it."

"The people who come down should be assigned to some deputy managers in the branch first. As for any department, let Li Benjia take care of it."

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"If you don't stop, you will be in chaos! You are so orderly, what else do you want to do?"

A month later, during the internal construction safety inspection of the provincial picture-in-picture real estate company, it was found that the construction workers in the Xiaolian area had problems with personnel safety and the quality of meals was unqualified.Subsequently, the regional general level adjusted the headquarters, and the relevant person in charge was directly dismissed.Then Ma Feifei was temporarily transferred to the acting regional general manager of Xiaolian City, while Zhu Guangliang followed in the past to be responsible for the regional supervision work.Of course, these are things for later, but these inspections did make the picture-in-picture group a model for the media in the following month when they randomly inspected construction safety-related issues on construction sites.

Nuan Xiaoxi and Zhu Guangliang walked back to Nuan Xiaoxi's box. "Where's Secretary Ma?" Nuan Xiaoxi asked after seeing Li Jinyu's assistant Xiao Cao scrambling at the scene.

"It's in President Li's box." Xiao Cao replied.

"Guang Liang called and asked to come over for dinner."

"Okay." Zhu Guangliang took out his mobile phone, "Mr. Ma, come to Mr. Nuan's box for dinner." "What? Busy?" "Oh, I see. I'll send it to you." "Mr. Nuan, I'm here. Ma Feifei and Mr. Li are talking about the club's materials."

"Okay, you go there." Nuan Xiaoxi picked up the cup and found that it was water, so she asked Xiao Cao, "What is Xiao Sun busy with?"

"Oh, she's preparing food at the barbecue shop."

"Give me an ice cold Coke."

"Ok."

Hey, a deputy governor, who is also in charge of science, education and sports, actually came to watch a game in a low-key manner, preparing the same as the head of state of the island country.Nuan Xiaoxi picked up the cup and walked to the window to look at the stadium, feeling infinitely moved.

"Mr. Nuan, the governor will be here in 10 minutes. Mr. Li told you to go down." Ma Feifei came over and called Nuan Xiaoxi.

"Okay." Nuan Xiaoxi put down her glass, straightened her suit and went out with Ma Feifei.

"What's supposed to come always comes, and it's finally here." Nuan Xiaoxi muttered in a low voice while walking.

Two Audi A6 cars drove in at Mengxi Stadium, followed by two buses.The governor arrived, and so did the two teams that played today.

A game that was originally without suspense had an earth-shattering scene.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.

This chapter is over.

Postscript (interlude, tidbits, extra episodes):

"Governor Chen, you can see that the investment in the current league is not small. Our company is not big in the first place, and there are not many players we can buy." The investor of the Shenbei team said.

"Yeah, the price of domestic players, especially now, is too inflated." The investor of Xiao Lian's new team just started agreed.

"Yes, there are really not many good players in China now." Governor Chen also expressed emotion.

"Look at the governor, the Shengcheng team is bound to be promoted this year, and it is operating well in all aspects, which is our model." The investor of the Shenbei team said holding the Shengcheng team.

"Nuan Xiaoxi is doing a good job. I have been to the UK before, and the talks are good. The training conditions and competition configuration are also very good. I think this system is very promising, and it will benefit a lot of domestic players." Governor Chen also felt a little proud after speaking.

"Yeah, it's definitely not something we can compare with, but we have to work hard to avoid relegation and give the province credit."

"Well, of course." Governor Chen agreed.

"Recently, the Shengcheng team has adjusted a few players to the reserve team and promoted a few newcomers. The newcomers are also very good."

"Yeah, I watched the game, Zhang Jing is really good." Governor Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, yes," Xiaolian's two investors echoed.

"Look at the governor, can they discuss with Director Nuan and transfer them to us. They can't play in the Super League, and they should be able to play in the first division. It can be considered as resource coordination in the province. What do you think, governor?" The Shenbei team investor finally asked the question.

"Okay, I'll see Director Nuan and talk to him tomorrow, but don't make the price too low, it's all business after all." Governor Chen agreed.

"That's it, that's it." The Shen Bei team investor said with a smile.

In the summer transfer window, the Shenbei team bought five players from the Shengcheng team at one go, and the price was not very high, including the left back who made many mistakes in the game.

Although Nuan Xiaoxi has some pimples about this, he knows that the team's metabolism is also an inevitable result, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.On the contrary, it is more gratifying to see that Zheng Tao, who came up from the youth team, can enter the rotation lineup. At this time, Ma Fei has already settled down as the main left back, although he is only less than one year older than Zheng Tao.

In addition, Li Weifeng, a newcomer who trained and played with the first team, began to grow quietly. No one knew that he would be the number one central defender in Asia five years later.

There is another thing that Nuan Xiaoxi doesn't know. Four of the five players sold were players who had a dinner party at the beginning of the season and wanted to prevent the team from advancing.
