Start from 1999

Chapter 115 Returning to China
Regarding the problem of Borussia Mönchengladbach, Nick feels that he can only rely on his teammates to continue to improve in the league. Now he has to rush to China, and Xichuan Football has made big news.

In the just-concluded 1999 season A League, the Xichuan team missed the league championship again, and the championship belonged to the Kyoto team of the three Borussia Mönchengladbach foreign aid teams.

At this point, Nick had already received calls from the three of them. The three of them seemed very excited. They had status and honors in the Kyoto team, and the three of them were obviously a little happy.

This greatly disappointed the Xichuan team's backstage boss, Qianxing Winery. Years of huge investment has not been rewarded, and Qianxing Winery decided to let go.

So after the last round of the league, a press conference was held to announce the overall transfer of the Xichuan team, including the first team, second team, third team and football training base. The transfer price was 6000 million yuan, which was two years earlier than history.

After Bai Jie received the call from Papa Bai, she immediately discussed with Nick. Nick felt that there was no problem with the price, and he now had enough money to buy the Xichuan team, so he immediately made a decision to go to Xichuan with Bai Jie himself.

It was already a little cold in Xichuan in December, and outside the airport, the two elderly people waited impatiently.

Suddenly, a blond-haired foreigner walked out of the passage with the help of a pregnant woman, and the two old people ran up with smiles on their faces.

"Xiaojie, Xiaojie!"

"Hey, Nick!"

These two are naturally Bai's father and Bai's mother. Bai's mother was a little excited when she saw her daughter's towering belly, and almost ran to the ground.

"Ah, Mom, slow down, slow down!" Bai Jie couldn't move, but Nick had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stepped forward to support Bai's mother. The "Mom" yelled Bai's mother even more.

"Hehe, aren't you happy to see you all come back? Alright, let's go home first." Bai Ma put her arms around her daughter with a smile on her face.

Dad Bai said to Nick: "Nick, why did you fight with that Bayern goalkeeper again?"

"Dad, that kid shoveled out all the bones of my teammate. Do you think I can stop beating him? Hey, but in this way, I was suspended for 15 games. The lesson is still a bit profound." Nick laughed.

"So that's the case. That kid really deserves a beating. I watched that ball. He didn't mean to stop at all, but you shouldn't hit someone. Your team depends on you. You're not here. Has the team tied two games in a row recently? Use your brains more in the future and teach those insidious villains from other aspects." Papa Bai's views are very insightful, and Nick nodded.

Back home, Bai's mother was busy preparing meals. Regarding her daughter's health, Bai's mother regarded her as the top priority. Now Bai Jie was really treated like a rich lady.

Dad Bai talked to Nick about the Xichuan team.

"Hey, Nick, it's really a pity for the Xichuan team this year. They are only 3 points behind the Kyoto team. Thinking about the previous games, winning two games in those draws, the result is completely different."

"Dad, I have no regrets about this matter. Although the Xichuan team has been playing well, they still lack the temperament of a strong team. This is one of the reasons why they lost the chain at the critical moment. However, after I bought it, it will immediately bring a qualitative leap to the team and let them truly experience the joy of playing football. Besides, I can guarantee foreign aid, and the team needs to train more young players. The entire team must be built according to the standards of European clubs." , The Xichuan team has a hot style but is a bit soft, so German foreign aid can be added in very well. Coupled with the talents of the original Xichuan team, it is still very hopeful to dominate the Chinese league.

Moreover, Nick's expectation for the Xichuan team is not only to dominate the Chinese football world, but also to become a talent pool for Chinese football and a tool for Nick to make money. Nick is not here to engage in welfare. Therefore, in terms of team building, Nick will do it in full accordance with European football standards.

"That's good. The construction of European teams must be better than ours in China. By the way, Nick, did you pay the 6000 million yuan in one lump sum?" Dad Bai didn't know much about Nick's net worth. Nick still made a lot of money this year. Due to his rising reputation in China, Nick received a lot of endorsements from China in recent months. One of the building materials companies gave 2000 million yuan in endorsement fees for three years.

So now that Nick's net worth has already exceeded 1 million yuan, there is no problem in acquiring the Xichuan team. However, the team's follow-up investment is not small. Nick still feels that he does not have sufficient funds, so he can only come step by step.

"How about I help you talk about it and ask Qianxing Winery to charge less?" Dad Bai said again, the number of 6000 million is not too much, and it is not too much. Dad Bai is worried that Nick will not be able to spend so much money. With Dad Bai's relationship, it is still possible to let Qianxing Winery reduce by 800/[-] million.

"Dad, no need, 6000 million is 6000 million. This number is auspicious. Money is not the problem. The key is the team's management. I hope Dad can convince the Provincial Sports Bureau that the Xichuan team will not listen to them in the future. This is a purely foreign-funded enterprise. Even the Chinese Football Association can't interfere too much, otherwise, this team will be difficult to run." Nick has nothing to complain about the price. I don't want the team I worked so hard to build to become the result of some people's spiritual civilization.

Dad Bai nodded and said, "It's necessary. You paid for it. What's none of their business? I'll tell you about it. As long as you abide by the law, I still don't believe it. Can people suppress people for doing practical things for Chinese football?"

"Dad, you have to find key people to hold back those monsters. This is the first all-foreign-funded football team in China. If it is done well, it will become a benchmark. If it is not done well, foreign capital will be intimidated in the future!" Nick is very familiar with those scumbags, and now may be an opportunity. Chinese football in the 02 World Cup has been well enjoyed. The economic benefits obtained are much higher.

The key is to let those officials see the benefits in the future. If you want to play football, just do it purely.

The two chatted very speculatively. Dad Bai was full of confidence in the future of Xichuan football, and Nick was also very confident. It takes some dedication to lead the way, and Nick's super-era experience is obviously very helpful for this.

What do people need?
That is the value is reflected and recognized!

Nick hopes to start from this aspect. When those obstacles are cleared, football here will be a blue sky!
