The situation in Xiangjiang football was quickly investigated.

Xiangjiang's football can be traced back to 1886, when the Xiangjiang Football Club was formed by employees of British businesses. It was not until 1908 that the Xiangjiang Group A Football League was established.

In the early stage, only foreign players participated, and the championship was monopolized by the British and foreigners. It was not until 1923-24 that the South China team became the first Chinese team to win the Group A League championship.

It was suspended for a while during World War II, and then it began to recover after the war. Over the past few decades, Xiangjiang football has been very prosperous, and fans have been waiting all night to wait for tickets.

At its peak, there were as many as 14 Group A teams in Xiangjiang, a small place with millions of people.

But eighty years later, Xiangjiang football began to become chaotic and gradually went downhill.

Starting from the twelve Group A teams in 1980, until before the season started in June this year, the Boluhua Football Team announced its disbandment, with only nine Group A teams left!

At this time, the nine teams in Group A were Seiko, Nanhua, Haibee, Yuyuan, Xiashi, Dongsheng, Dongfang, Wanwan, Tsuen Wan.

Xiangjiang football can be said to be successful and failure.

Previously, Xiangjiang's capital tycoons invested in football, so every team has the ability to introduce foreign players, ensuring the quality of the league and the excitement of the game.

However, most capital is short-sighted and only cares about the advertising benefits of the promotion. If the players are not good, they will replace them. They do not pay attention to local youth training. They just know how to introduce foreign players, so some teams can even have seven foreign players!

The disadvantages of introducing foreign players are gradually emerging, and the influx of a large number of foreign players not only squeezes the development space of local players, but also causes many teams to operate in losses.

Xiangjiang Football Association has vigorously reformed, but its approach has been a little radical. It has successively issued "foreign restriction orders" and "foreign ban orders", and even launched "youth classes" with all Chinese classes and young players, which have serious competitive levels.

As the decline is, the audience is not fools, the prosperity of the football market is no longer there, and the once empty streets have become deserted.

Under such circumstances, some backward teams could not withstand the pressure and could not see the hope of the future. Capital withdraws its capital and disbands the team one after another.

This is why the Boluhua team was disbanded for reasons.

Xia Yu still remembers that it seems that Seiko football team will announce its dissolution in the next two years.

According to the information here, the Seiko Football Team was founded by Huang Chuangshan, and the Baoluhua Football Team was founded by Huang Chuanghua. The two are brothers.

And the fathers of these two brothers happen to be the core member of the Southeast Asian consortium, the Thai wealthy businessman Huang Ziming.

Seiko Football Team is currently the second largest team in Xiangjiang football, and has won nine league championships.

The largest giant, undoubtedly the oldest Nanhua football team, won the 19th league championship.

However, since 1977-78, there has been no league championship. In the past six years, Seiko Football Team has won six consecutive championships!

After reading the information, Xia Yu thought for a long time, and then asked someone to invite Huang Chuangshan, the chairman of Seiko Football Team, to come to his home.

...

Huang Chuangshan is a 34-year-old middle-aged man. As the third son of Huang Ziming, the top wealthy businessman in Thailand, he has created a famous Seiko football team. Huang Chuangshan has a high status in society.

But when he came to Xia Yu's house, he put his posture very low. Although he was older than Xia Yu, he seemed to think of himself as a junior.

There was no choice. After receiving Xia Yu's invitation, Huang Chuangshan was shocked and hurriedly asked his father Huang Ziming for advice. After being told by his father, he came to Xia Yu's house with a nervous mood.

"Hello, Mr. Xia, I am Huang Chuangshan, my father asks me to say hello to you!"

When he entered the door, Huang Chuangshan personally carried a bag of fine fruits with both hands. This was also what his father taught him. Xia Yu had nothing to do and he might not be able to use gifts. So he just brought fruits. Xia Yu was not too late for his family.

I can eat it, and it can be considered as a ritual.

"Mr. Huang, please come in. I have received your father's greetings. Next time I will thank him in person."

Xia Yu did not put on airs and invited Huang Chuangshan into the house with a smile.

"Mr. Huang, sit there casually, don't be restrained, should you drink tea or coffee?"

"Just tea, thank you!"

"Okay, I have to wait a while for the tea, and have some fruit and snacks first."

After a few smiles and greetings, Xia Yu saw that Huang Chuangshan was still a little unwilling to let go. He couldn't help but show it and simply stepped into the topic.

"Mr. Huang, I invite you here this time, mainly to talk to you about Xiangjiang football."

When Huang Chuangshan heard the football he was proud of, he felt relieved, and his sense of restraint disappeared instantly. He sat upright and said sincerely: "Mr. Xia, please speak, I will know everything and answer everything."

Xia Yu smiled lightly and said, "Okay, I heard that Xiangjiang football has many disadvantages at present, and there are relatively large internal conflicts."

"I want to hear what you think."

Huang Chuangshan was revived and thought of something deeper, and he felt a little excited.

He realized that this was an opportunity to make a huge change in Xiangjiang football!

He has already made many suggestions on the issue of Xiangjiang football, but due to various reasons, he has little say and cannot do something if he wants to promote some things.

But if the boss in front of him is willing to take action, then Xiangjiang Football will always have to be obedient.

He took a deep breath, sorted out the mixed ideas, and then said respectfully: "Mr. Xia, I do have some of my own opinions. If I say something inappropriate, please forgive me for being superficial."

"Tell me, today is just for communication and just speak freely." Xia Yu said with a smile, reducing Huang Chuangshan's psychological pressure again.

Huang Chuangshan talked happily: "Mr. Xia, Xiangjiang's football world is indeed at a critical moment now!"

"I admit that the Hong Kong Football Association's foreign restrictions and foreign bans have had a great impact on our teams, so that my second brother disbanded the Baoluhua Football Team."

"The FA's starting point is good. Even if it affects the interests of Seiko football team, the FA is too radical."

"The Xiangjiang football team cannot finally achieve the entire Chinese team while ensuring the competitive level. Because Xiangjiang football team is not in the face of success, the most important thing that the FA should do is to build a youth training system and reform it step by step."

"Building youth training requires a lot of investment, but I am ready, but other conservative teams are unwilling to do this, just want to force us to death, restrict foreign players from entering, and let the salary level of local players fall to low.

For ordinary people, this is absolutely not possible. Players’ salary cannot guarantee support for their families. They will definitely provide living space for fake gambling and black players, and players must live!”

"I prefer to increase the source and reduce expenditure, so that the cake in the Xiangjiang football market can be made bigger and bigger and make the Xiangjiang football world more and more prosperous."

"The FA will want to maintain the football soil of Hong Kong, and I support it, but I cannot give up the competitive level because of this. This is the most wrong thing. Without exciting football games, we will not attract enough fans. In the end, Hong Kong Football will only

Going to decline.”

"I have some ideas about this. I think policies can be introduced to limit the upper limit of foreign aid for each team, ensure the competitive level, and provide local players in Xiangjiang to grow and continuously improve their level."

"As for conservative teams, I think the expenses are very high. I think all teams can be the same as our Seiko Football Team. The team either takes commercial sponsors as the team name, or adds the sponsor name, and is backed by big capital.

Naturally, you will have money to build the entire team system.”

"It's just that the current situation of the Xiangjiang Football League Group A is difficult to change, and there are great drawbacks. The most obvious ones are the safety issues of the court and the continuous large-scale incidents of football hooligans disrupting public security."

"Most teams do not have stadiums, and the games are rented by the Hong Kong Stadium and Mong Kok Stadium. Since the beginning of 1980s, the police will no longer rent it."

"Except for the Xiangjiang Grand Stadium, the rest are small stadiums, which can accommodate between eight or nine hundred and one or two thousand people. The situation of fans climbing mountains and walls to watch the game is prominent, and there are many security risks."

"But major teams do not have enough capital to own their own stadiums, and the current operating system is difficult to attract enough large capital to enter, so I think it is best to have another league in the Xiangjiang Group A League,

Establish a foundation and rebuild a bigger league.”

"Mr. Xia, I'm sorry, I've talked so much at once."

After saying that, Huang Chuangshan showed apologies, but still felt a little unfulfilled.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "It's very good, it's incisive and comprehensive. I have given me a lot of information I need, thank you!"

Huang Chuangshan hurriedly said modestly: "Mr. Xia, you are polite. It is my honor to use me!"

Xia Yu took a sip of tea and said to Huang Chuangshan: "Xiangjiang's football must not only have a competitive level, but also be able to train local players. Your idea is right, and the Seiko football team operates well."

"Only a prosperous football market can raise high-level teams. Maybe not long after, we will have to compete on the same stage. Then we have to learn from Seiko football team."

Huang Chuangshan was both surprised and happy, and said hurriedly: "Mr. Xia, it is a blessing for Xiangjiang football to be able to enter the football world. I have only achieved a small score now, which is really not worth mentioning."

"Ha ha……"

"Don't disclose it to the public for the time being. I still haven't thought about some things." Xia Yu smiled and reminded Huang Chuangshan.

"Please rest assured, I must be tight-lipped."

Huang Chuangshan responded quickly.

...

Two days later.

A yacht was moored on the blue sea, and Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong each took a sea rod and fished happily on the yacht's deck.

"A Yu, there is still a lot of controversy outside because of Hui Defeng, but you are fishing here with us. If it spreads, it will definitely surprise many people."

It was too boring to simply fish, and everyone started chatting on the boat. Huo Yingdong said to Xia Yu quipped.

"It's just a mere Defeng, and I can't make a big wave. Why should I spend too much energy? It's better to do something meaningful."

Xia Yu chuckled and said casually.

Huo Yingdong was immediately moved and said to Bao Yugang beside him: "Old Bao, listen to this tone. The consortium with a 10 billion Hong Kong dollar only takes the word "A Yu's mouth". When can we be so generous.

Just go straight."

"That's right, we can't compare with A Yu. As soon as his title as the terminator of the British consortium was revealed, it was too late for Defeng to hide."

Bao Yu had just sang and Huo Yingdong and joked about Xia Yu.

Xia Yu shook his head helplessly. I don’t know when, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong like to joke with him more and more.

However, this is also a manifestation of the good relationship between the three of them.

"Hey, I've bitten the hook!"
