Chapter 1068 Youth training is not a business!
In the morning, an Airbus flying from Europe slowly landed at the Beijing Capital Airport.
An hour later, Gao Han walked into the office of Beijing Chinatown Training Center.
In the office, father-in-law Lin Guoping and general manager Xiang Tianming had been waiting in the office for a long time.
"What's going on? So anxious?" Gao Han asked as he entered the door.
This time, he flew back to Beijing from Madrid overnight, his eyes were still covered with blood, and it was obvious that he could not rest well on the plane.
Just yesterday afternoon, he received a call from his father-in-law Lin Guoping, telling him that he would appear on the list of delegations to Brazil for the BRICS summit next month, which surprised Gao Han.
He is not a person within the system. The leader visited Brazil, what did he do?
So, as soon as he heard the news, he immediately put down his job in Madrid and flew back to Beijing overnight.
This is a big deal!
Lin Guoping signaled Gao Han not to worry too much, and after signaling Gao Han to sit down, he poured him another cup of boiling water.
"I have specifically inquired about this matter. The BRICS Summit and the World Cup finals were held one after another. The Brazilian president invited the chiefs to attend many times as early as April, but at first he declined because of the itinerary, but later the itinerary changed. The chiefs decided to participate and personally ordered your name."
"I still don't understand, why click me?" Gao Han still couldn't figure it out.
"It's very simple. You are the most outstanding business card in our country in football, even in the field of sports. I believe you also know that the country is paying more and more attention to the development of national sports, especially in football. The highest leader has expressed this kind of attitude on different occasions many times."
Gao Han understood Lin Guoping's words.
In fact, when he founded the Chinatown Youth Training Center, it was thanks to the secret support of the leader.
Some people think that this is the leader's personal preference, but Gao Han believes that this is something that will inevitably occur after a country develops to a certain level and a certain stage.
For a country, the sports industry is not just an economic account, but also a national strategy that profoundly affects the quality of the people. This is true from Europe to the United States to South Korea and Japan.
In fact, there have been calls for elevating national fitness to the level of national strategy over the past few years.
Just imagine, how many industries can be elevated to national strategies?
How can this be determined and changed by a person's preferences?
"I heard that the country is vigorously promoting the development of the sports industry. This time, it will clearly stipulate that national fitness will be elevated to the national strategy. Football is the world's largest sport. No matter from any aspect, it is the top priority. This time the leader visited Brazil and participated in the World Cup final, which must have considered this aspect."
After hearing what his father-in-law said, Gao Han felt much more relieved.
He may not understand other things, but football is his old profession and is familiar with it.
Moreover, according to Lin Guoping's meaning, he traveled with the group more, that is, the station platform. This time, there were a lot of people visiting the chief and the itinerary was arranged very tightly. Even if Gao Han wanted to say something to the chief then, he might not be able to do what he wanted.
However, being able to get the head personally named and visit the group will inevitably greatly enhance Gao Han's influence in China and even the whole world, and it is also an official certification of Gao Han's achievements in the past decade.
Every thing and every decision the country has made will not be aimless. I believe that this time I invite Gao Han to visit with the group will be the same. In any case, this will be beneficial to Chinatown and Gao Han.
After understanding the links and interests, Gao Han became much more relaxed.
In recent years, he has dealt with celebrities from both domestic and foreign countries. He is no longer the fledgling boy more than ten years ago.
But since we are going to accompany the top leader on a visit, many things still need to be studied by Gao Han. Fortunately, there is a diplomat like Lin Guoping around us, so we don’t need to seek help from others.
The matters of Gao Han’s most concerned training center have been progressing very smoothly under the presidency of Lin Guoping and Xiang Tianming. All links have been opened up long ago, and they are basically moving forward steadily according to the original plan of Chinatown.
The only regret is that Gao Han originally planned to host the Chinatown Youth Football Invitational Tournament held in Madrid in July this year, but now he has to give up because of his visit to Brazil with the group.
"Those boys are all looking forward to it now. In the past year, they have all been holding back their strength, especially the thirteen or fourteen-year-old bastards, who are waiting for it." Xiang Tianming laughed.
He is now considered the number one figure in China, and his reputation is even louder than his father who works in real estate. This makes both the father and son sigh that he was indeed the right bet on Gao Han back then.
Especially when Xiang Tianming's father heard that Gao Han was actually ordered by the Supreme Leader to visit the group, he was even more amazed, which made Xiang Tianming stand up in front of his father, and he admired Gao Han, a partner who is both a teacher and a friend.
Gao Han also smiled with relief after hearing this, "It's a pity that the conditions are not allowed, otherwise we can arrange more such exchange events. By September this year, Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy will visit China, and the comprehensive cooperation between China and Spain in football will be officially signed, and future exchanges will be much more convenient."
"Are you sure?" Lin Guoping asked with concern.
This is something that Gao Han has been promoting vigorously over the past few years. If it can be done, it will not only be of great benefit to Chinatown, but also be of great benefit to the development of Chinese football.
"There has been basically agreed, and only some details are left to be negotiated, but the overall situation cannot be changed. In the future, our Chinatown will become the first overseas youth training base of the Chinese Football Association, and the Chinese Football Association can also arrange national teams, or some selection teams to participate in low-level leagues in Spain."
In addition, it also includes the training of coaches and referees, as well as other football industry related personnel.
But in Gao Han's view, this is just a test. If successful, you can go further in the future, continue to cooperate with other countries and other leagues, and further deepen your efforts on the two paths of bringing in and going out.
"By the way, Tianming and I studied it carefully. The next two training centers have been basically confirmed. The football atmosphere in Yanbian, Jilin and Kashgar, Xinjiang, is a place for talent." Lin Guoping said.
"But I believe you are very clear about the problem."
Of course Gao Han knew that it would be harder and harder to set up youth training centers in these two places than other places.
But Gao Han also knows the situation in Yanbian and Kashgar, and it is indeed a very promising area.
"You can do it just by letting go. These two training centers must be built. In terms of funds, Chinatown can spend 1 billion yuan, and I believe it should be almost enough."
Lin Guoping and Xiang Tianming both looked at each other. Gao Han’s investment in youth training over the years has been real money.
If he could use his salary to support the development of the youth training system in the past, then now he has no income.
"Don't worry." Gao Han obviously saw their thoughts and smiled. "Goding's transfer to Atletico Madrid has basically been negotiated. 50 million euros, not a penny. In addition, the team may have to sell another player. Chinatown can still support the investment of one billion yuan."
Since Gao Han said so, I believe he must be confident, and Lin Guoping and Xiang Tianming did not ask more.
In fact, they all knew that the most important thing was that Gao Han kept the bottom line tightly and refused to give in. Otherwise, Chinatown would not be short of money at all, and some domestic large consortiums would have to invest.
As long as Gao Han lets go, not to mention one billion yuan, there is no problem with one hundred billion yuan.
Previously, there were even investors who were interested in cooperating with Chinatown to tie up Chinatown’s domestic training centers with many projects and go public. With Gao Han’s name and taking advantage of the current domestic strong development of the sports industry, they will definitely be able to attract a lot of money, but Gao Han almost refused without thinking.
He is a very conservative person at heart, and he thinks that youth training should not be done like this.
What's more, if you go public and make money, isn't it the interests of small investors?
I still remember when Gao Han refused sternly, he said, "Youth training is not a business!"
Sometimes Lin Guoping thought that his son-in-law was definitely a stubborn and stubborn "stupid guy", but perhaps the leader personally ordered the general this time and valued the stupidity in him that was not in line with the current mainstream society.

As June comes, the World Cup is getting closer, but the European football transfer market is becoming more and more lively.
Many giant teams including Real Madrid and Barcelona have learned from previous lessons and hope to finalize their favorite recruitment targets before the World Cup.
But Atletico Madrid was the first to ignite the war.
The bedsheets army has been pursuing Chinatown's main central defender Godin in the summer of 2013, but after Chinatown sent Miranda to Inter Milan, Gao Han ordered Godin to stay in the team.
As it turns out, this decision ultimately created the glory of Chinatown in the next season. Godin played a crucial role in both runner-ups and Champions League champions, and also made the Uruguayan central defender's value soar.
But because of this, Godin's contract renewal problems occurred. The players and the club's salary requirements were far from each other. In addition, Gao Han made a promise when he tried to retain Godin last year, so Chinatown finally chose to transfer him.
Atletico Madrid paid a settlement fee for Godin for 50 million euros.
The top 28-year-old central defender officially joined the Bedding Legion.
At the press conference to announce Godin's joining, Simeone said inexplicably that Atletico Madrid will continue to strive for three championships in the new season and strive to achieve the mission of a triple-champion that was not completed last season.
General Manager Hill Xiao also promised all fans that the club will continue to strengthen signings, especially in the left winger.
As expected, in less than a week, Atletico Madrid once again announced that it would introduce Chilean winger Sanchez from Manchester City at a high price of 80 million euros. The player would set the highest transfer record in Atletico Madrid's history.
After Gareth Bale left Real Madrid last season, Sanchez was lost again this season. Manchester City's lineup with superstars was finally unable to maintain, but with the rise of local players such as Sturridge and Harry Kane, Manchester City is not worried about the attack in the frontcourt, and is more focused on consolidating the thickness of the lineup.
Even if the Abu Dhabi consortium is rich, it is impossible for it to invest huge amounts of money every year.
Atletico Madrid made two consecutive major transfers, investing 130 million euros before the World Cup, which greatly stimulated the entire European football market and made everyone believe that the transfer market this summer will be extremely lively.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and other teams are also following Atletico Madrid.
