Green Dragon

Chapter 706 Go to the United States to earn a lot of money!

7 month 11 day.

After more than 40 days, Long Shute stepped into Anfield again.

After nearly a year, this ancient stadium has finally completed the expansion project.

More than 1.2 million pounds were spent, and the total capacity was increased from 45000 to 61000, barely reaching the average level of the top European giants.

However, due to the long age, the overall Anfield stadium is still relatively old, and it is impossible to renovate it. The only way is to tear it down and rebuild it.

What would it cost to build a new stadium?
Arsenal have told everyone.

Even with the most conservative estimate, in 2016, when labor costs are rising rapidly, a stadium needs about 6 million pounds.

Although Long Shute and the domestic consortium behind him have such financial resources, it is not easy to get more than 50 billion yuan of funds...

If you want to consider re-selecting the location and building surrounding supporting facilities, then the cost will at least double.

Of course, there are companies that can spend money, such as state-owned giants that are at the top of the profit list every year, they can invest in the construction of the stadium by naming it.

But...Liverpool fans must not want to hear that their stadium has become "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Stadium", "China State Grid Stadium", "China Petroleum Stadium", "China Mobile Stadium", "China Ping An Insurance Stadium", "Chinese People's Stadium" court"……

Moreover, these state-owned giants actually do not have a large customer market abroad, and they did not rely on this method to develop their business...

"Have you had a good time this summer?"

At the moment, the club's general manager Johnson is interacting with the fans.

Since it is a fan meeting, there is no ticket revenue for this event. Fans only need to make an appointment online to qualify for admission-of course, club season ticket holders and senior members have priority.

"So happy!"

"It feels so good to be a champion!"

Someone answered this way.

"It's so boring! Such rubbish as Portugal can win the championship!"

"England played like a piece of shit!"

It was also answered.

Henderson, Sturridge, Lallana, Milner, Clyne, these newly returned England internationals can't help but feel a little embarrassed...
-
Since the capacity of the stadium has increased by nearly one-third, Long Shute has already decided before going on vacation that the ticket price for the new season will drop by an average of one-fifth, and a slight increase in overall calculation is enough.

He is not Arsenal, who sells the most expensive tickets in Europe, but has no regard for the feelings of the fans-of course, Arsenal fans in London must have more money than Liverpool fans.

"As of today, we have sold [-] season tickets for the new season, and due to the adjustment of the ticket sales system, this year's reservation window is only open for three weeks, which is equivalent to more than [-] most loyal fans tomorrow. fans have ordered season tickets for the new season, and as the general manager, on behalf of the club, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you all!"

Johnson nodded slightly around.

He didn't bow deeply with tears in his eyes, because that would be a bit exaggerated...

"This year, our fan meeting will be different from previous years. In addition to the interactive questions and answers and lucky autographs, we have also added players and fans to the 5-on-5 half-court football match, penalty kick nine-square grid challenge, and table tennis relay shooting. There are a total of [-] live audiences who can get interactive qualifications, I hope everyone can enjoy this pleasant afternoon! Thank you!"
-
As Johnson explained, what followed was indeed a happy time.

Long Shute gave autographs and group photos to more than [-] fans, and then competed with three amateur football fans in shooting skills.

Of course, the fans are standing at the penalty spot, and the dragon captain is standing 40 meters away, otherwise their game is meaningless at all...

However, the final result is still that Long Shute won an overwhelming victory—nonsense, with his long-range shooting skills, he has already reached the state of pointing and hitting where no one interferes!Even if you stand near the middle circle, you can beat those amateur football fans! -
At the end of the event, there is one more little thing.

The Liverpool club held a retirement ceremony for the Anfield live announcer who is about to turn 70, and Johnson presented him with the Premier League champions (fake) medal.

With warm applause, the [-] fans in the audience expressed their most sincere thanks to the old man who had dedicated his whole life to them. The old man with all white hair was moved to tears by himself, thinking that he was saying goodbye Gerrard at Anfield...

This ceremony couldn't be simpler, but it conveys to the outside world the club's emphasis on ordinary fans and heart-warming human care. Powder efficiency to a new level.
-
After the fan meeting, Liverpool played a warm-up match with a nearby semi-professional team, helping the opponent earn tens of thousands of pounds in tickets, and then began a Pacific commercial tour.

As the four-time winner of the new Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup, and League Cup, Liverpool today is of course different from the past. They flew aggressively to the Asia-Pacific region and held two commercial competitions in Hong Kong and Australia respectively.

Naturally, not to mention Australia, it has been the sphere of influence of the United Kingdom since ancient times. Liverpool has received a huge welcome in Sydney, raking in more than 600 million pounds in a game, and also received tens of millions of pounds in sponsorship contracts for the new season.

The same is true in Hong Kong.

Due to historical reasons, the United Kingdom still has an unparalleled influence on this small island. An old giant like Liverpool has many fans. Former Chief Executive Mr. Dong, star Hui Zhian, Huang Rihua, etc. are all supporters of the Red Army. The spending power of the team is generally quite outstanding, and Liverpool once again returned with a full load.

One day later, the Red Army soldiers finally came to another continent, ready to start their gold rush trip in the United States.

Stadiums can generally accommodate more than 8 people, and Americans are synonymous with stupid people and rich money. Compared with Hong Kong and Australia, this is the best place to make a lot of money!

One game on the west coast and one game on the east coast, the stadiums are full and the seats are not enough to describe the popularity of Liverpool here, not to mention the former Red Army captain Steven Gerrard and another football superstar Kaka standing for them...

Yes, Kaka, who returned to his second peak in AC Milan, finally came to the major leagues in the United States, but now he obviously enjoys life more. He is healthy and peaceful, and he has no signs of divorcing his wife. Caroline They even invited Long Shute and Emma to be guests at home, and showed off their cooking skills, making the lazy little witch feel ashamed...

During this family dinner, Long Shute also made a joke with his good friend:

"You can consider coming to Liverpool to retire, Ricky."

Kaka didn't even think about it for a second, just shook her head and refused:

"The prince of San Siro...how could he join Anfield!"

Long Shute persuaded with a smile:
"Who says it can't? I'm not living a good life? Milan and Liverpool are not sworn enemies, you shouldn't have such worries, let alone... this is already my team!"

But Kaka still refused:
"Big brother, please spare me! With the rainfall in the UK, I will get arthritis in less than three months! Besides, you really want me, who is 35 years old and full of injuries, to be with you. Go to England and fight for another two years?"

Long Shute patted Kaka on the shoulder with a smile, and gave up the topic.

Of course he knows that today's Kaka is really not suitable for the Liverpool team, and the 35-year-old Brazilian has also reached the age of rest.

He was just kidding.
