Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.

Xia Haoyang considers himself a senior football fan who has his own understanding and opinions on football. During his few days at the Hongta Base, he also observed the training and games of other teams.

But whenever Xia Haoyang thought a certain player was good and asked if he could buy him into the Guoan team, the executive president Ma Li and a group of retired veterans of Guoan would not agree and shook their heads. At first, perhaps because they were embarrassed to directly refute Xia Haoyang's point of view, everyone spoke tactfully, saying that a player of this level, someone in Guoan's first team was no worse than him and there was no need to consider him. Later, after understanding Xia Haoyang's character, they all said directly that this person was not worthy!

After being rejected so many times, Xia Haoyang understood that although he could be an outsider, he should not say too much, otherwise his dignity would be affected. Therefore, he no longer interfered with the team's expert group's inspection of domestic and foreign players.

The weather at Kunmi Hongta Base has been very good these days. It is sunny and windy every day, but the temperature is around 24°, which is very suitable for sports. Xia Haoyang walked on the green grass and looked at the blue sky, feeling relaxed and happy.

"Mr. Ma, how is the performance of the young player Lily Ramu?" Xia Haoyang asked.

Lily Ramu was the first player Xia Haoyang bought after he took over Guoan, and the only player so far. At the beginning, Xia Haoyang suspended a young international striker from Guoan for three seasons because he had an unruly private life and hurt Minzhi, causing him to quit Chinese football in his 20s. So Xia Haoyang bought Lily Ramu, a striker from a minority ethnic group in the Western Regions, as a replacement.

"Lily Ramu's performance is pretty good. The young man has a good attitude, is active in training, and dares to fight and take the ball on the court. His playing style and fighting spirit have made the entire team satisfied." General Manager Ma complimented.

Xia Haoyang nodded. He usually watched news reports. It seemed that Lily Ramu, Guoan fans and Yancheng sports reporters were all very satisfied with him. They admired his style and enthusiasm on the court. However, as a striker, his scoring ability was indeed a little weak. Lily Ramu was not a talented player, but more of a tactical player who worked diligently on the court. This was also the reason why Guoan wanted to replace him with a foreign shooter.

"Central defender Xiao Cao, how is Cao Minyou's transfer going?" Xia Haoyang asked again.

"The transfer is almost done, 100 million euros. When we sold him, the price was 150 million euros. But this season, Cao Cao is more injured in the UAE and has not played many games. The club also wants him to leave. After all, he occupies the only Asian foreign aid spot. We have also communicated with him privately. The salary is lower than his current level, but it is already the main treatment of the team."

"How much is Xiao Cao's salary at Guoan?"

"The highest paid player on the team right now, not to mention the foreign players, is captain Zhang Zexi, who makes 1200 million Chinese yuan, and there are two other players in this category. Then there is a player with an annual salary of 1000 million yuan, a player with 800 million yuan, and Xiao Cao's salary is 700 million yuan, with a five-year contract. Then there are three players in the team who make 3 million yuan."

"Okay, this salary basically fits his position." Xia Haoyang nodded in approval again, then quickly walked towards the Guoan team's training ground.

Executive President Ma Li also took a deep breath. He also knew that Xiao Cao's wife Zhu Suya was a female singer who had once been under Xia Haoyang's company. Perhaps buying Xiao Cao back was also for the better development of this female singer, because the year Xiao Cao went to West Asia to play football, Zhu Suya also followed him to West Asia, and then her music career almost came to a standstill that year.

Therefore, Mr. Ma cut the Gordian knot and signed a contract with Cao Minyou by offering a relatively high salary, because he knew that this matter had to be done beautifully, even if it cost a little more money.

Xia Haoyang will invest funds in Guoan starting this year. The original plan was 3 million Chinese yuan, but Xia Haoyang directly asked Fei Jie from the company to transfer million to the account of the Guoan Club, and made it clear that if it was not enough, it could be increased.

In today's Chinese Football Super League, an investment of 8000 to 1 million is the level of a relegation team, 1.5 to 2 million can operate a mid-level team, and an investment of more than 3 million can strive for the top, which was also the investment standard of the Guoan team in the past few years; if it reaches 5 to 6 million, it can compete for the championship.

When he took over the Guoan team, Xia Haoyang promised that the annual investment would not be less than 300 million yuan, and now he has fulfilled his promise with practical actions. Although the investment of 500 million yuan is not the highest investment among the teams in the current Chinese Football League, the Guoan team is very satisfied, and Xia Haoyang's 500 million yuan is a one-time payment without any discount, which will be very beneficial to the operation of the Guoan team this year.

After staying at the Kunmi Hongta Base for about three or four days, Xia Haoyang left southern Yunnan and returned to Yancheng on the pretext of celebrating the 15th day of the first lunar month with his family. As luck would have it, he ran into Cao Minyou and Zhu Suya, who were returning from West Asia, at Yancheng Daxing International Airport.

The private plane that Xia Haoyang was on arrived at the same time as the flight that Zhu Suya and her husband were taking back from West Asia, so they met at the exit passage.

"Hello, Mr. Xia. I heard from Mr. Ma that it was you who insisted on buying me back to the Guoan team. Thank you for your trust." Cao Minyou took the initiative to step forward and greet the club's president.

Xia Haoyang has changed a lot in the past year, but if you have a computer or mobile phone with internet access and follow Chinese news, you can't help but know about it. Cao Minyou and Zhu Suya are both aware of his becoming the richest man and the boss of Guoan Club. When Ma was communicating with Cao Minyou, he also made it clear that it was the club boss Xia Haoyang who insisted on buying him back to the team.

Xia Haoyang smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with Cao Minyou. "I've seen your game, it should be the game against Taishan. Guoan was leading before you left the field, and your defense also impressed me. Later, you left the field due to injury, which led to the team losing the ball and eventually being tied by Qilu Taishan. Now the club's defense is not stable, so I thought of you. I hope you will work hard in the future."

Everyone is not stupid. Xia Haoyang only mentioned Cao Youmin's outstanding performance and did not mention anything else. However, the three people present all knew why Xia Haoyang bought Cao back to Guoan, even the executive president Ma knew it.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia." Zhu Suya was excited but didn't know what to say, so she could only say these simple words.

Xia Haoyang did not immediately ask Zhu Suya to return to the company. He simply smiled and said, "Your singing voice is still beautiful. I hope to hear you sing again this year."

"Yes, I will. I will sing some new songs this year. Thank you, Mr. Xia." Zhu Suya's voice was a little choked, and her hands were tightly grasping her boyfriend's arms.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene seemed to be a little out of control, Xia Haoyang said, "You have also been on a flight for more than ten hours since you came back from West Asia. Go back and rest early. We can talk about it later if there is anything. Goodbye."

Looking at Xia Haoyang's back as he left on his own initiative, Zhu Suya still shed tears.
