It still hurts to think that so many intellectual resources in the university are lying dormant. Han Songlin can't do more right now, but if there's a chance, he doesn't mind doing something.
There is no sign of it happening yet, so he is not worried.
The expansion of Hans's Luwei has now entered a stable period. Han Songlin and Xu Lu have had serious discussions, and now instead of opening directly-managed stores, Han's Luwei can try to set up some franchises.
Han's Luwei can provide training for the franchises, charge a franchise fee, and provide marinated food packs.
Yes, marinated food packs.
The franchisees can use the Han's Luwei brand, and that's fine.
In fact, there are still relatively few chain stores in China.
Is it because the level of commercial development has not yet reached a certain stage?
It seems to be the case.
For Han Songlin, this is a good opportunity.
While Han Songlin was busy in Yuzhou, he suddenly received a phone call.
The call came from the county, saying that the Shuchuan Football Association hoped to seek cooperation with Han Songlin.
Han Songlin was momentarily stunned.
Was there a need for cooperation between himself and the Football Association?
Wait!
The Jia A, the Chinese Football Association League, was due to start in 1994.
And now, it was in the preparatory stage.
Han Songlin hung up the phone from the county and looked pensively into space.
What would the future of Chinese football look like?
Frankly speaking, there was no need to say anything.
After the establishment of the professional league, football performance had instead declined all the way.
What was the reason?
The ineptitude of the Football Association, that was for sure.
But if that was all there was to it, Han Songlin felt that it was a bit extreme.
Apart from the Football Association, don't the football investors also bear some responsibility?
People who think only about trading football are directly damaging the football environment.
Should he get involved in this mess?
Han Songlin hesitated.
While he was still hesitating, Han Songlin returned to the music box and met a group of people from the Shuchuan Football Association and Shuchuan Sports Institute.
Zhou Youwei appeared in the crowd with a smile, introducing, 'Mr. Han, let me introduce you. This is Chairman Wu Di of the Shuchuan Football Association, and this is President Wang Qing of the Shuchuan Sports Technology Institute.'
'Chairman Wu, President Wang, how are you? I'm Han Songlin, very pleased to meet you!' Han Songlin kept his posture low.
Although Shuchuan Sports Technology College is not well-known, Han Songlin understands that according to historical development, this college will cooperate with Shuchuan Quanxing to establish Quanxing Football Club, which will become the founding team of Jia A. In the future, it will be renamed Shuchuan Sports Vocational College and undertake the training of athletes for the Shuchuan National Games.
'Mr. Han is really young and promising!'
Even though it was known earlier that Han Songlin was very young, looking at him now, he is not just young, he is downright overly young.
Wu Di and Wang Qing exchanged a silent glance. Would Han Songlin, who is so young, invest in football?
Wu Di and Wang Qing exchanged a glance. Han Songlin was so young, would he invest in football?
Han Songlin laughed lightly, 'The young lad still needs a lot of guidance from the seniors.'
The group sat down, and the discussion was held in the county government.
Naturally, the county had also sent someone to attend the meeting.
'I don't know if Mr. Han has noticed that our professional football league is about to be officially established?' Wu Di asked first.
Han Songlin sipped his tea and kept a straight face: 'I've read about it in the newspaper.'
Han Songlin glanced at the headline and then simply ignored it.
After all, before this, Han Songlin had never thought about getting involved in football or anything else.
If he was going to get involved in football, he might as well get involved in basketball!
At least in the future, there would be a Yao Ming in basketball, leading the Chinese national team to achieve good results.
And even in the future, Huaguo basketball will be able to dominate the rest of Asia.
Football?
Forget it, I don't want to talk about it.
There was a brief silence in the meeting room.
Zhou Youwei laughed, knowing that Han Songlin was not the type to beat around the bush: 'It's like this, our national professional football league is about to start. The provincial government is planning to organise a professional football team to participate.'
Provincial government?
Han Songlin was a little stunned, and then a little dazed.
It seems that since the beginning, football in China has been supported by the local authorities.
It has to be said that sometimes, it really is the monk singing the crooked scriptures.
Many industries in China have received a lot of support, but it has all been entrusted to the wrong people.
For example, in the chip industry, the most famous incident was the Hanxin incident.
This incident directly sent the development of Chinese chips into a low ebb.
It can be said that the chip development that carried the hopes of the entire nation was ultimately proven to be fraudulent!
Public opinion affects every aspect of society, and for many years, no one in the country dared invest in chips.
'So, Chairman Wu and President Wang want to?' Han Songlin calmly stared at Wu Di and Wang Qing, but in his heart, he was still wondering if football was an investment.
There are really not many profitable football clubs in the world.
It seems that Manchester United was profitable during the era of Sir Alex Ferguson, but as soon as he retired, the club invested huge sums of money every year to continuously recruit players.
They also changed managers as frequently as they changed clothes, but the results still didn't improve.
Wu Di: 'We want to invite Mr. Han to cooperate with us to build a professional club together.'
'With the Sichuan Sports Institute?'
'Yes!'
Han Songlin: 'Chairman Wu, President Wang, don't blame me for being direct; since we are cooperating, there will definitely be an issue of leadership.'
'In everything, if you want to succeed, leadership is very important. You can't have two voices in a club, one saying go east and the other saying go west. To be honest, nothing will get done in the end.'
Wu Di and Wang Qing felt that although Han Songlin's words were direct, they were indeed true.
Everyone is a member of the officialdom, and they know very well what holding things up is all about.
Han Songlin thought about it seriously. Football is not something you can just give up.
You can't just keep making money and making money for the rest of your life!
In his previous life, Han Songlin also watched football matches, and he shared the anger of the Chinese football community.
He knew very well that it would be very difficult for Chinese football to truly develop.
Because the whole of China simply cannot be sure that those people are really serious about youth training.
It's very frustrating, isn't it?
Since he has to live this life again, Han Songlin feels that he must always do something and change something.
If he doesn't leave his mark on the world, wouldn't that be too incompetent?
Of course, if you want to invest in football, it's not just about throwing money at it.
Han Songlin also had his own ideas about this.
'If we want to establish a professional league in China, we must first go to Europe to see what professional leagues are really like.'
