At the invitation of Jurgen Bauer, Zhang Xian visited the office of the sports director.
Yes, his job is sports director.
This is also the highest management position of the Meteor Team today.
The director's office is very clean or one could say empty.
There are not many furnishings in the office. The Meteor team's home jersey and the crudely crafted team emblem are hung on the bare walls.
There is a desk near the window, and a few chairs are placed in front of the office desk, which is regarded as a meeting place.
Jurgen Ball graciously introduced Zhang Xian to the team and offered him a cup of coffee.
Zhang Xian did not have any dissatisfaction with the crude environment. He could only say that he was mentally prepared for all this.
Jurgen Bauer also took Zhang Xian out to visit the home stadium, but Zhang Xian refused.
"Mr. Chairman, can we talk about the future of the team now?"
Jurgen Bauer's eyes lit up, this is the conversation he looks forward to the most.
He is particularly looking forward to what kind of reply he will get from this 'professional'.
The three people sat together, yes, Mary did not go.
Zhang Xian did not care about her either, but talked freely; "First of all, I searched for some information on the Internet, but the information is limited, and I can't even find out the schedule of the seventh-level league, so I can only rely on some sporadic information to a Make subjective judgments based on the information."
"Uh-huh!"
Jurgen Bauer repeatedly nodded and said, "You can say".
"In my opinion, your commercialization methods are too bad. I don't know what the previous director did. But in the field of publicity, you have failed too much. By the way, do we have a press office? ?" Zhang Xian asked.
Jurgen Bauer looked blank.
Instead, Mary on the side said; "No, we now only have finance, scouts, HR (human resources) and administrative modules for the first team."
"It seems that we need to add a news office, right?" Zhang Xian smiled and looked at Mary, and said, "Does Hoffenheim have a media company?"
Mary shook her head and said, "Hoffenheim does not, but Sinsheim has a small media company."
Zhang Xian said: "We need an external voice to get in touch with them."
Mary nodded, went to the desk and took out a stack of papers and pens, and sat back to start recording.
Zhang Xian was very satisfied with Mary's performance.
"How much funds can be used at this stage?"
"After deducting the wages that need to be paid, we still have about 10,000 euros left."
Mary told Zhang which made him frowned. It's less than what he expected.So The most urgent thing is how to make money!
Zhang Xian continued to ask: "Do we have no income from sponsorship?"
"There is a sponsorship from the Haas Meat Federation, 500,000 euros a year, and their condition is the LOGO on the chest of the jersey!"
"Too little, adjusted to 1 million euros in the next quarter."
Mary put down the pen and said; "They won't agree."
Zhang Xian waved his hand; "As long as we can enter the professional league next quarter, we are eligible to negotiate terms."
Mary frowned, she felt that Zhang Xian's words were a little impractical.
They have been trying to enter the professional league for the past few years, but they have not succeeded. Why will they be able to enter next year?
As if reading Mary's heart, Zhang Xian said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will get in, but before that, you need to sign a contract with them. As long as we get into the professional league, they have to pay 1 million euros sponsorship, this will be a mutually beneficial and win-win situation, isn't it?"
Mary stopped speaking, but turned to look at Jurgen Bauer.
At this time, Jurgen Bauer raised his hand excitedly: "In this regard, I can call the shots. As long as we enter the professional league, the Haas Meat Federation will provide us with 1 no 2 million euros in sponsorship!"
Zhang froze, as he was thinking who gave the chairman such confidence?
Mary smiled and pointed to Jurgen Bauer and said, "That is their family's business."
Zhang Xian suddenly realized that and he remembered that Smith had mentioned to him that the boss's house was in the sausage business.
Zhang Xian looked at Jurgen Bauer thoughtfully.
The latter tried to open his eyes wide, to make himself look more energetic.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Zhang said: "Small problems need to be solved slowly, and then the problems of the big policy."
Zhang turned his head and looked at Jurgen Bauer: "Sir, what is our goal? Or how big is your heart?"
Jurgen Bauer did not hesitate at all, he jumped up instantly, clenched his fist and shouted: "The Bundesliga! The Meteor team should be in the Bundesliga!"
The scene was very quiet and Zhang looked at Jurgen Bauer faintly.
Mary is holding her forehead with a headache.
Jurgen Bauer didn't get a response. He opened his mouth and sat down like a frustrated balloon. He said with a sullen expression: "Are you making fun of me? I know, even if you didn't smile on the surface, you will secretly make fun of me. It's okay, I'm used to it. Many people say that I am a lunatic.They say that The Meteor team can't go to the Bundesliga at all. This is not even a professional team. They said, I'm daydreaming, saying that my dream is as funny as the clown. In fact, we can't even make it into the sixth tier. We are indeed an amateur team."Jurgen stopped and Zhang didn't say anything either.Afther some moment Jurgen said with a sigh "I know, but. But I just want to go to the Bundesliga. My biggest dream is that the Meteor team can be in the Bundesliga, and they can collide and fight with the powerful teams in the European battlefield!"
"This is the only dream of my life."
Zhang Xian said lightly: "All dreams are worthy of being respected."
Jurgen Bauer grieved: "But they are right, dreams are dreams, and they cannot be realized."
"So what about making it the goal?"
Jurgen Bauer looked up suspiciously,
Zhang Xian smiled and said, "I like to talk about goals, not dreams, because goals can be achieved. If I just want to make fun of you, then I won't be here, right?"
Jurgen Bauer was trembling with excitement, and asked: "So. So, do you agree with it?"
"No, but we can try."
Jurgen Bauer was confused.
He saw, Zhang stood up and said: "This is a long-term plan and goal. Even if we climb one level a year, it will take a full six years, and we need to solve many problems."
"For this, we need a long-term development strategy, which is evaluated, reviewed and continued to formulate the next stage of development strategy every two years."
"After dividing the goals into detail, all this becomes less difficult."
Jurgen Bauer was the first to hear someone analyze this issue so seriously, his eyes widened and he looked forward to saying, "You continue."
"First of all, starting from the club itself, we need a well-run and financially healthy club."
"At this point, today's clubs are not eligible. You know, even if we enter the Bundesliga, we need to conduct a financial assessment before we can compete in the Bundesliga."
Jurgen Bauer nodded and said, "Hmm!"
"Secondly, the base of fans, our influence is too low now, how many fans do we have? One hundred? Two hundred? What is the attendance rate of the game? Is the support of the fans high? How many diehards are there?
A successful club needs a lot of support from fans. This is a complementary process.So, in the first two-year plan, we need to solve the problem of the base of fans. We want more people to follow us and be willing to join us."
Jurgen Bauer touched his chin and said: "But where do we find so many fans? Fans in big cities have already been divided up."
"Why go to the city."
"Where shall we go?"
Zhang now turned on his phone, found a map of Baden Chau, and smiled: "Here."
"what?"
Zhang Xian shook his head and said; "Bauer, don't you know? If we enter the city to search for fans, it will be impossible, and it does not fit our team's own positioning!"
"What position are we in?" Julian Bauer said blankly.
Zhang Xian smiled and said: "Country! We are a country team, why go to the city to seek development? This is our base camp!"
"The countryside has enough resources. In fact, in Baden , except for a few big cities, most of the population is concentrated in the countryside." Zhang Xian asked bewildered: "This is a huge market. Are you really not tempted?"
Whossh!!
Jurgen Bauer swallowed subconsciously.Apparently he had been bewitched by the pie drawn by Zhang Xian.
"Can we really win?" Jurgen Bauer's eyes revealed a greedy color.
Zhang Xian smiled and said: "Why not? Those big teams don't want these rural resources. As representatives of rural power, we need to integrate them to create a Baden Country League. Believe me, her future will be a giant, she will push the Meteor team to the true pinnacle of Europe!"
The pinnacle of Europe!
Jurgen Bauer's eyes revealed enthusiasm.
"What's next?" Jurgen Bauer trembled excitedly.
Mary looked at Zhang Xian faintly, with a trace of scrutiny in her eyes.
In her opinion, Zhang Xian is drawing flatbreads for them.
However, she didn't stop it either. After all, it sounds pretty good, if it can be realized.
Looking at the opponent's impatient look, Zhang Xian continued to smile and said: "The next step is to build the stadium, and create a stadium that belongs to us!"
"Our stadium?!" Jurgen Bauer's voice became sharp.
But anyone can see the sparkle from those two small eyes.
Now the Meteor team's stadium is a small stadium with only 1,000 seats, and they are even playing sideballs with the German Football Association. This stadium does not meet the football association's required court area.
But there is no way. The Meteor team is poor. They have no money and can only use the broken stadium in the small town as their home venue.
They can't even get the funds for renting other stadiums.
Jurgen Bauer does not want to experience the same look that other teams look at when they play away games.
It was like saying that their 'pauper' eyes humiliated him.
Therefore, Zhang Xian's proposal touched on Jurgen Bauer's heart, making him completely incapable of resistance.
"Our stadium" Julian Bauer felt thrill throughout his body, repeating it over and over again like a devil, but his voice did become firmer and firmer.
"Yes!We should build our stadium" Julian Bauer slapped the table and said vigorously: "A stadium that belongs to us!"
Mary sighed.
This is really a naked picture pie.
However, she knew she was drawing a pie, but she couldn't help but look forward to it.
When she thinks of a new stadium, she has such a picture in her mind.The huge and gorgeous stadium is large enough to hold tens of thousands of people, where there are many flags, and thousands of fans arms are raised like forests.
There are the crazy slogans and shouts going
on.This is where the meteor team is playing.
Not one or two hundred people, but tens of thousands of people shouting slogans and cheering for the team together.
It is their own people, they will meet the challenge again and again there, they share honor and disgrace, they fight side by side.
This scene fascinated Mary deeply, and she subconsciously murmured: "This is awesome!"
