Xifeng Company has invested a lot in football clubs because the returns are too high.

The first is the business return. If your team stays in the A League, how much advertising costs will be saved? Countless fans are potential customers; the second is the political return. The province and the city support the football team very much, and the leaders believe that this can enhance the regional image.

Take Li Sufu later took over the Sun Gods team as an example. He was relegated to the second-rate team in the B League for several years. Because the financial owner had no money to do football, the Huadu government directly found the State Sports Commission for help, and the State Sports Commission helped Geely Group take over.

In order to improve the team's strength, Xifeng not only paid for players, but also built a training base in Rongping. The construction of the training base alone cost 13 million yuan and was completely completed in March today.

Chen Tao immediately called the police when he returned to Rong Ping. The police were confused and had no idea how to file a case.

Chen Tao was so angry that she brought the team up. She took a lot of effort and wouldn't mention it. This time she took her lover and her lover's friends to watch the game. The game that was originally winning was actually chaotic, which made her and Song Weiyang look completely disgraceful.

This anger would not work. Chen Tao returned to the company and directly called the legal department to inquire about the situation.

The staff of the legal department said: "This is a bit troublesome and I can't find any relevant laws for playing counterfeit football. If I have to pursue it, I can prosecute it according to Articles 163 and 164 of the Criminal Law of 97."

97 Article 163 of the Criminal Law: If a company or an enterprise staff takes advantage of its position to demand property from others or illegally accept property from others to seek benefits for others, and the amount is large, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or detention; if the amount is huge, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years and his property may be confiscated.

97 Article 164 of the Criminal Law: If the amount of property is given to the staff of a company or enterprise, the amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or detention if the amount is huge; if the amount is huge, the sentence shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years but not more than ten years, and the fine shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years but not more than ten years.

The first one is used to sue his own players, and the second one is used to sue Loncin Club.

Chen Tao immediately took the legal staff to call the police. If Xifeng hadn't been in the local area, the police would have refused directly because the crime was in the mountain city. Even so, Rong Ping's police only agreed to arrest Xifeng's members for investigation. The Loncin team and the others did not have the power to enforce the law across borders.

In fact, after the initial nervousness, the relevant personnel of Xifeng Football Club did not take it seriously now. Who would have thought that Chen Tao would break the ground?

As netizens said, Xifeng also played counterfeit balls in the relegation match last year, and seven or eight teams joined forces!

But when Chen Tao brought the police to the club, everyone was shocked, including the head coaches and players who did not collect bad money.

After about a long time of interrogation, all the suspects denied it. Anyway, there is no evidence, whoever admits it will be stupid.

But, there are really stupid people.

A player who just transferred to the market this year only played the fake game of Shancheng. He didn't take him to play, but he heard it by himself, so he was dragged into the water and had sex with him. The guy complained to the police: "I only got 50,000 yuan, and I haven't had time to spend it yet. Comrade Police, can I not pursue my refund?"

The policeman said with a serious look: "If you actively return the stolen money and provide for whom the main culprit is, even if you make meritorious service, you can be given a lighter punishment, or even only criticism and education and a small amount of fines."

"It was assistant coach Peng Yang who asked me to play counterfeit football, and they also participated in illegal football betting." The guy said immediately.

The police asked: "Is the handicap for betting in Rongping?"

The guy shook his head and said, "I don't know, it seems to be in another province."

40 minutes later, assistant coach Peng Yang was taken to the police station for questioning. He refused to admit it when he was beaten to death. He cried and shouted for injustice. He also said that the person who confessed that he was framed.

The matter is at a deadlock at this point, and unless it is tortured, it cannot be investigated at all.

Chen Tao was so cruel that she wanted to investigate the matter to the end. She called all the employees of Xifeng Football Club to the office to talk one by one, and asked Xifeng Company's financial staff to check the accounts.

Before the account was found out, someone took the initiative to expose it, and he went to find Chen Tao quietly at night.

This person is a middle-level employee of Xifeng Football Training Base. He said: "I don't know if Peng Yang has any problems, but he is a distant relative of Wu Baogen from the training base. Wu Baogen has a very problematic person. He is in charge of the daily equipment procurement of the training base, and I don't know how much it costs. Mr. Chen, I don't tell lies. I have a grudge with Wu Baogen. This position was originally mine, but because he climbed up with Mr. Zhang, I squeezed me down and asked me to be responsible for the maintenance and maintenance of the equipment!"

"Which Mr. Zhang?" Chen Tao asked.

"Zhang Degui, the general manager of the football training base," said the man. "Wu Baogen knows nothing. He hasn't graduated from junior high school. He used to be an ordinary worker at Xifeng Canning Factory, but now he is a slutty person and has a correspondence undergraduate degree. How did Wu Baogen climb up to Zhang Degui? I feel disgusted when he said it. He introduced his cousin to Wu Baogen as his lover! Others don't know, don't I know yet? I could hear it clearly in the toilet at that time!"

Chen Tao was extremely big, and he found such a thing when he checked the fake ball.

The man also said: "Wu Baogen is very proud and boasts about him being Mr. Sun's person every day!"

"Mr. Sun?" Chen Tao frowned.

"Sun Kang, deputy general manager of Xifeng Football Club." This person is not a good person, with a sinister smile on his face. Today, he is here to avenge his personal revenge.

The general manager of the club is Chen Tao, but she is usually too busy and everything is under the responsibility of the deputy general manager Sun Kang. Before joining the football club, Sun Kang was already a middle-level leader of Xifeng Company and had outstanding abilities. If she had stayed at Xifeng Company at that time, she would now be at least the general manager of a regional branch.

Chen Tao asked about some more situations, and went to Sun Kang the next day and said clearly: "Old Sun, do you know about the counterfeiting of the ball?"

"I know, I have criticized the relevant personnel," said Sun Kang. "Mr. Chen, don't make too much trouble. It will bring our team's reputation. The police station should remove the case."

Chen Tao sneered: "You also know that it affects the team's reputation? The chairman's face was thrown away!"

Sun Kang gritted his teeth and said, "This incident is an emergency and no one would have expected it. If you had known that you and the chairman were going to watch the football, and they would have given them a hundred courages, they would not dare to play fake football in front of you and the chairman."

"You're also involved?" Chen Tao asked.

"How could I participate?" Sun Kang immediately cleared his relationship and said, "Mr. Chen, counterfeiting is a hidden rule in the football industry. If we don't play counterfeit football, other teams will also play. This time, the Loncin team asked us for help, and next time we asked the Loncin team to help each other and make a good relationship with each other. If we don't cooperate with each other, we will be rejected by other teams and will not be easy to play in the future. Anyway, we will not be relegated and we will not win the championship. Playing a few matches of counterfeit football is nothing, and we will not lose any loss."

Chen Tao was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "No loss? This time he ruined the team's reputation!"

"This is nothing, fans can understand," said Sun Kang. "If you don't play counterfeit football, Xifeng may not be able to relegate last year. This is the benefit of playing counterfeit football!"

Chen Tao said in surprise: "I went to watch Xifeng's relegation game last year, how could it be a fake ball?"

Sun Kang smiled bitterly and said, "It's really a fake ball. Last year's league points were too close, and there was still suspense until the last round. If you don't pay attention, you will be demoted. Several teams, including us, dare not bet on luck, so they can only use money to do things and let those teams that will definitely not be relegated. If the Bayi team and the Sun God team have no money, they can only be demoted and get out."

Chen Tao recalled the last round of the league last year and said with a complicated expression: "In other words, the teams with sixth to twelfth points last year played all fake balls?"

"Ahem, there are two or three teams exceptions. They are really fighting," Sun Kang coughed. "Of course, among the top few, there are also those who play counterfeit balls, and they are responsible for letting go. So, this matter cannot be too big. Once it gets big, we will be in trouble."
