From the Country Team To the Rich

Brazil is the kingdom of football, with football clubs all over the country.

Rio de Janeiro is no exception. There are four Brazilian First Division teams, six Second Division teams and countless small teams.

In addition to these, Brazil's youth training, football schools, and football training camps set up by European clubs here are like carps crossing the river.

In particular, Brazil's football population is about 26 million, which accounts for one-tenth of the total population.

It can be said that one out of every ten Brazilians is engaged in the football industry.

In Brazil, the football industry has really developed to the limit. It can be said that every industry reveals a breath of football and is closely related to it.

It's just that it can't keep up with Europe in terms of professionalism, which also makes a large number of Brazilian players and children look forward to the European football environment.

Here, no one can refuse the words 'go to Europe to play football'.

Yes, this is their lifelong dream.

For them, football is a profession and life.

"The four First Division teams and six Second Division teams in Rio de Janeiro are not included in the scope of cooperation."

Sansuke Inoue directly erased these 12 clubs. It can only be said that Hoffenheim has not yet met the conditions for cooperation with them.

"I mainly visited those small teams and their youth training, and three of them expressed interest in cooperation with us." Inoue Sansuke said.

Zhang Xian nodded and said, "Where are those football schools?"

Forehead....

Sansuke Inoue rubbed his nose and said, "I haven't seen their senior management."

Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, but immediately felt relieved.

Football schools are a luxury in Brazil, and it can also be said that this is the training base for European football clubs.

Talented children will be sent directly to various high-level leagues, excluding small clubs like Hoffenheim.

"Which three clubs are they?"

"Configa, Santa Cruz, and Remo."

"What is their economic situation?"

"From the outside, it's a well-run club, but I can't find out if it's too specific."

Zhang Xian frowned slightly. It was difficult to make a judgment without finding out the economic situation.

After all, in this club cooperation model, there are likely to be scams, which will eventually lead to loss of people and money.

European clubs have suffered in this regard.

Zhang Xian also had to be careful.

At this time, Zhang Xian turned his head, looked at Lu Lan who was dozing aside, and asked, "Can you find out?"

Lu Lan was dozing off, he was not interested in what Zhang Xian and the others were talking about.

Hearing Zhang Xian's words suddenly, he couldn't help but froze.

"Sir, did you call me?"

Zhang Xian nodded and said, "Can you find out the financial situation of the three clubs?"

Lu Lan smiled and spread his hands and said, "Sir, I'm just a guide, and how could I find out such confidential things."

Zhang Xian still said: "I won't let you work for nothing."

"Sir, I really can't do it!"

Zhang Xian stretched out a hand, spread out his palm and said, "Five thousand ohms!"

Lu Lan said directly: "Deal!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhang Xian happily, and said, "Sir, I will bring the three economic reports you need tomorrow."

Zhang Xian nodded and said, "Then tomorrow."

After a day's driving, Zhang Xian was indeed a little tired. He needed to take a break to beat the jet lag.

He knows that this is not a job that can be completed overnight, and the most important thing is not to be in a hurry.

Once there is a problem, it will be a huge blow to Hoffenheim.

 …

Coming out of the hotel, Lu Lan was very happy.

He earned 5,000 Euros today,

This is a lot of money for him.

Putting the cash obtained from Zhang Xian into the wallet, and then putting the wallet into the pocket on his chest, he showed a satisfied expression.

Immediately, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

As the saying goes, if someone uses money to eliminate disasters, he uses the money to work.

In fact, there are many guides like him in Rio de Janeiro, infiltrating all walks of life. In addition to earning some extra money, they can also exchange information with each other.

Just like Zhang Xian's request, Lu Lan can ask his friends to help him.

However, he also needs to spend a sum of money, but it will definitely not exceed 1,000 Euros.

"Dude, I need the economic reports of Configa, Santa Cruz, and Ramo for this year."

Lu Lan said towards the phone.

Soon he shook his head and said, "No, it's impossible. The maximum is 700 Euros. I only got 1,000 Euros. You earn more than me."

"Okay, just send it to me tomorrow morning."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Lan clapped his hands, and 5,000 Euros was in hand!

Thinking of earning 5,000 euros in one day, Lu Lan couldn't help but praise God, even couldn't help whistling while driving, looking extremely happy,

On the way home, Lu Lan passed by a sports goods store, bought a pair of small football shoes in the store, and left happily carrying the packing box.

About ten minutes later, Lu Lan came to a building complex halfway up the mountain.

The whole of Rio de Janeiro is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and many buildings can only be built around mountains and rivers.

This is called the boundary of the city, of course not the real boundary, but at the boundary between the city and the slums.

From the mountainside, you can see the bustling urban agglomeration on the right, and the dilapidated scene on the left, which is the poor area of ​​Rio de Janeiro.

In Brazil, a country with a huge gap between rich and poor, for any Brazilian citizen, entering a slum means that their life and property are not guaranteed.

The reason why Lu Lan lives here is because it is still in the urban agglomeration, but because it is adjacent to the slums, housing prices are extremely cheap.

This is a one-story room, the building looks quite old, and there is an elevator inside.

Take the elevator, go to the sixth floor, and knock on the door on the right.

"coming!"

A childish voice came.

With the sound of the door opening, a half-grown child about 1.3 meters tall, wearing a pair of shorts and a waistcoat came into view.

The child has brown hair, and the big eyes are studded with blue eyeballs, shining like jewels.

"Uncle Lu Lan!"

Seeing Lu Lan, the child shouted happily.

"Hahahaha, Leo, do you miss Uncle?"

Lu Lan squatted down, the boy rushed over, and they hugged each other.

"Look, a gift for you."

Lu Lan handed over the brand new sneakers he just bought, and Leo's little face suddenly showed excitement.

He took Leo's hand and walked into the house.

This is a small apartment of about fifty square meters, with extremely simple furnishings.

The walls of the house are covered with posters of such stars, and there is a small ball rolling on the ground.

"Where's mom?"

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Lu Lan couldn't help asking.

Leo was already squatting on the ground, unpacking, fiddled with the new combat boots, and said with a bright smile, "Mom has gone to work."

Lu Lan nodded, picked up the ball beside him, and threw it over.

It was like a reflex action by Leo. With a hook of his little foot, the ball lay quietly on his foot.

Subsequently, Leo began to juggle the ball cheerfully.

If Zhang is here now, he will definitely be surprised. An eight-year-old child has such gorgeous footwork without any sense of sluggishness, as if it happened naturally.

The ball seemed to turn into a black and white elf, bouncing around the little boy's shoulders, feet, thighs, etc., without falling for five minutes.

Lu Lan also watched this scene with relief.

But when he saw the occasional pinhole-like spots on the young boy's immature thighs when he was juggling the ball, his previously brimming smile instantly turned into bitterness.

The uncle and nephew played for a while, and a woman came in.

Seeing the woman, Leo ran over again and shouted, "Mom!"

Lu Lan also smiled and said, "Sister!"

The woman is Leo's mother and Lu Lan's sister, named Jona.

Qiao Na looked at Lu Lan and said with a smile, "Leo has been talking about you."

Lu Lan scratched his head and said, "I've been busy recently, and a big client came."

Jona nodded and said, "Let's have dinner together."

The food on the dinner table is not rich, and obviously the family is not that rich.

After eating, Qiao Na looked at Leo and said with a smile, "It's time to get an injection."

Leo immediately ran off the chair, rushed into the room, and said, "I will fight myself!"

After speaking, he slammed the door shut.

After seeing Leo leave, the smiles on Qiao Na and Lu Lan's faces slowly faded.

Lu Lan pursed his lips and asked, "How much money do you have left?"

Jona said; "One more thing."

While speaking, Qiao Na hid her hands behind her back.

Lu Lan didn't even need to look, he sighed and said, "You went to the chemical plant again."

Jona said in a little embarrassment; "The salary is very high there, you know, Leo's illness cannot be delayed."

Lu Lan was silent.

Majette Leo, his nephew, was diagnosed with 'dwarfism' at the age of five.

Yes, Leo looked like he was eight, but he was 11.

It's just that under dwarfism, his development is not as good as other children.

Dwarfism is a disease of growth hormone deficiency, which means that the child will not grow tall all his life, which will greatly affect the child's future.

The most important thing is that the child also showed outstanding football talent.

In Brazil, football can change destiny.

However, while God gave Leo an outstanding talent, he also suffered from 'dwarfism'.

This is an extremely cruel thing.

In order to treat Leo, Jona has to pay 1,500 euros a month to buy growth hormone.

This is a huge hole for an ordinary family.

In six years, the house was destroyed, her husband ran away, and her body was about to collapse.

Even though Lu Lan was helping the mother and son, it was still treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

Moreover, as Leo grows, more growth hormone doses are required.

Today, they are still affordable, but in a few years?

They dare not imagine the future, because all they see is darkness and helplessness.
