The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

In fact, Chinese capital has controlled European teams before, and the teams they controlled were top teams.

2016年6月7日，苏宁体育公司以2.7亿欧元获得国际米兰俱乐部68.55%的股份，成为国际米兰第一大股东；但是2024年苏宁体育因为资不抵债，国米的大股东被橡树资本取代。

Also in 2016, China Capital Fosun Group acquired the English Championship team Wolves for 4500 million pounds; in 2019, Wolves were promoted to the Premier League. After Guo Guangchang took over, Wolves' investment was relatively rational, and the team's performance was also stable. It can be said that Guo Guangchang's investment was very successful. However, after China Capital's investment, Wolves did not have a close connection with Chinese football, and there were no Chinese players playing for the team.

In November 2005, China Xiangjiang Star Interactive Entertainment Co., Ltd. acquired 11% of the shares of Espanyol Club for 6500 million euros; in August 50.1, Star Interactive Entertainment Co., Ltd. acquired a total of more than 2016% of the shares of Espanyol Club for 8 million euros. In May 4000, Espanyol Club was relegated to the Spanish Second Division; in June 99, Espanyol Club was promoted to the Spanish First Division; in May 2020, Espanyol Club was relegated to the Spanish Second Division again. Espanyol Club has been relegated to the second division twice in the past three years. The owner Chen Yansheng has lost interest in running the club and has already put the club on sale for 5 million euros. Because the price is too high, no buyer has been found so far.

The fact that Wu Lei was able to join the Espanyol team from 2019 to 2022 was actually related to the fact that the major shareholder behind the team was from China.

In June 2016, Chinese businessman Jiang Lizhang bought 6% of Granada Club's shares for 3700 million euros. In May 98.13, Granada Club was relegated to the Spanish Second Division. In June 2017, Granada Club was promoted to the Spanish First Division again. In May 5, Granada Club was relegated to the Spanish Second Division again. In June 2019, Granada Club was promoted to the Spanish First Division again. Granada Club has performed mediocrely in recent years and has been relegated to the Spanish Second Division twice. Its record this season is also very poor. It is currently in the relegation zone. The team owner Jiang Lizhang has long intended to transfer the club and has set a price of 6 million euros.

There is also Chinese capital behind Nice and Auxerre in French Ligue 1.

"Indeed, the teams you mentioned are all in the top leagues of the five major leagues. Do you want to become a transit station for Chinese players? This starting point is too high." Xia Haoyang thought about it.

"Mr. Xia is talking about Inter Milan, a top European team, the Champions League and Serie A champions; Wolves, Espanyol, and even Nice and Auxerre are all in the top five leagues, and the teams are under pressure to avoid relegation. The current strength of Chinese players is indeed not worthy of such a strong team, so what I mean is a transit station. Small and medium-sized clubs in mid-level European leagues such as the Belgian Second Division or the Dutch Second Division are more suitable for the training and growth of Chinese players."

Xia Haoyang nodded involuntarily.

"I hope that the path taken by Japanese football will continue to be repeated by Chinese players. I really look forward to that day. Only when Chinese players continue to go to Europe to play football can the strength of the national team be truly improved, and then the World Cup will not just be a distant dream." Ji Hai said emotionally.

"Ji Hai is right. First, we need to go out! This is the same as the country's economic development. Why did we carry out reform and opening up in the 80s? Because you have to go out! Go out and see the world, see a world that is different from yours, see how other people are, and see that it is like this, which you have never thought of. Then the second step is to invite in more outstanding players and coaches to come to China, to China's various levels of leagues, including amateur leagues, and even to introduce foreign coaches for youth training. The third step is integration, integrating the technology, methods, means, or other things of foreign and Chinese football. Finally, we need to find our own distinctive path, so that Chinese football can truly improve and grow."

"What President Xia said is absolutely right. Going out, inviting others in, integrating, and finding our own distinctive path are exactly the right direction for Chinese football to rise." Ji Hai said excitedly.

"It's not that what I said is right, but this is how China's economy develops. In fact, the development of football and the development of the economy are on the same path, but we football people have not done well in these four aspects." Xia Haoyang shook his head and said.

"Yes, if you can't even take the first step, how can you talk about improvement? The first step is to let more Chinese players go abroad!" Ji Hai said again solemnly.

Today's conversation made everyone in the Guoan president's office very excited. Everyone felt that they had found the right direction for the development of Chinese football, but it is not easy to actually implement it. Just taking the first step of going out may require several years or even decades of uninterrupted development.

But if you have the right direction and keep going forward unswervingly, you will inevitably succeed. Ji Hai and others have such a firm belief.

At noon, he had lunch with Ji Hai and others in the canteen of the Guoan Club. In the afternoon, Xia Haoyang went directly back to his mansion in Baguo Village and did not go to the company.

Seeing that Zeng Jingyi and others had not returned yet, Xia Haoyang went to the balcony to water the flowers, and then continued to think about the conversation with Ji Hai in the morning.

"Go to Europe and take control of a small club?"

In fact, the capital investment is not large. If you just buy a Dutch or Belgian second-tier club, even if you buy all the shares, it is estimated to be only a few million euros or tens of millions of Chinese yuan. The annual operating expenses include various expenses required for club operations, such as coaches' salaries, venue maintenance fees and other logistical support costs, which are only two to three million euros, about 15 to 20 million Chinese yuan, which is much less than the annual expenditure of 500 million yuan by Guoan.

But Xia Haoyang's problem is that he doesn't plan to develop in Europe. He has been building the Tara girl group for six years and has never left the country. Now he wants to go to Europe to control a football club for the rise of Chinese football? Is it really necessary for him to do this?

Xia Haoyang, who was on the balcony on the third floor, saw from afar Zeng Jingyi, Xiao Mengyan and others walking happily towards home, so he abandoned all these messy thoughts and happily went downstairs to welcome his wife home.

At this moment, nothing is more important than his wife in Xia Haoyang's mind.

The world is safe and secure,

Live up to Tathagata and live up to you?

With a beautiful woman by my side,

Who cares about the sword and Tathagata!
