From the Country Team To the Rich

With a big victory, Hoffenheim has successfully gained fame in the league at the same level.

Inside the club, they are also quite happy for this victory. They feel that Hoffenheim can still maintain a high morale this season and win every game.

But as a matter of urgency, Hoffenheim needs to solve a problem.

"Yesterday, fans began to complain about the lack of tickets. According to statistics, more than 3,000 fans participated in the purchase of tickets that day, while the Jurgen Stadium only has 1,000 seats."

After a pause, Mary said, "Mr. Director, we need more seating for watching games!"

Zhang Xian rubbed his eyebrows and nodded.

In fact, the increase in the number of Hoffenheim fans did exceed his expectations.

In his vision, the attendance of Hoffenheim in the next few years will not be very good, so there is no need to expand the stadium.

But judging from the current situation, the number of Hoffenheim fans has accelerated a lot, resulting in insufficient home seats.

A sixth-level stadium stand, 1000 seats is already quite a lot, which basically meets the needs of fans.

But in the unique environment of the Sinsheim area, Hoffenheim is more popular than imagined. For this reason, they urgently need to make some changes.

Zhang Xian sighed and said, "Mary, help me contact Van De Ven and tell him that the plan has been advanced, and ask him to help us get in touch with Sinsheim Town Hall. We need to settle in the Filzmore Stadium next year!"

Mary nodded excitedly.

The Filzmore Stadium is Sinsheim's public stadium, and it's a stadium that can seat over 10,000 fans, and it must be great to watch a game there.

And with Hoffenheim's financial capacity at this time, it can still afford the rental fee.

Keeping this in mind, Mary asked, "So what about this season?"

Entering the Fieldsmore Stadium must be a matter of next season, and they still haven't been able to solve the home seating problem.

In this regard, Zhang Xian sighed and said: "For the time being, let's expand first. Talk to Chiellini and ask him to put aside the matter of the training base and take the lead in expanding the home field. They need to complete it within three weeks. Except for weekend match days In addition, the first team is training at the training ground, and we will do our best to let the engineering team expand first!"

Mary nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

"The home billboard contract should be re-signed."

Billboards used to cost 200,000 to 300,000 Euros, but now that they have upgraded and become more influential, they naturally ask for more in return.

"We have contacted the major advertisers and set the price at 400,000 Euros per year, and they agreed." After a pause, Mary grinned; "However, the advertisers said that they hope that the home billboards can be replaced with LEDs. scrolling electronic screen, so that more promotional materials can be added!"

Zhang Xian directly shook his head and said, "The cost is too high. The paper quality at this stage is enough. I will change it later when I have money."

Finally, Zhang Xian asked: "How about the naming rights of the home stadium?"

The current Hoffenheim home court is called the 'Jurgen Stadium', but Zhang Xian intends to sell the naming fee in order to earn more money.

Regarding this, Mary said with a little embarrassment: "Haas Meat Federation is willing to buy it!"

"Oh?" Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows; "Are they willing to name it?"

"It should be said that they hope to retain the name of the Jurgen Stadium and at the same time win the naming fee of the 'Jurgen Stadium' at a price of 5 million euros."

Zhang Xian couldn't help laughing out loud, Haas Meat Federation is going to lock Hoffenheim and the Bauer family.

In the past, Haas Meat United didn't pay much attention to Hoffenheim, but with Hoffenheim's performance getting better and better.

Sales of Hass sausages in the Sinsheim region are also on the rise.

With the help of Hoffenheim, the Bauer family made a lot of money,

This is mainly due to the chairman Jurgen Bauer.

Fans know that the Bauer family is the rich man behind Hoffenheim and has given them a lot of help in recent years. For this reason, many people are willing to buy Hass sausage when choosing.

The Haas Meat Federation wants to continue to maintain this "friendship" relationship.

For this reason, they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to retain the naming rights of the 'Jurgen Stadium'.

In fact, Haas Meat United can also use Jurgen Bauer's relationship to put pressure on Hoffenheim, but they obviously began to pay attention to Hoffenheim's influence, so they made this decision.

With the entry of 5 million euros, Hoffenheim's movable assets are close to 10 million euros.

This made Zhang Xian's mind involuntarily active.

He said immediately, "Call me Braden."

Not long after, Braden walked into Zhang Xian's office and said flatteringly, "Mr. Director, are you calling me?"

Braden is the most idle person in Hoffenheim.

But this is also related to Zhang Xian's management of the first team and youth training. He has no time to set up a scouting department.

Today, Hoffenheim's scouting department exists in name only, with a total of one scout and one scouting director.

Compared with the scouting organizations of hundreds of powerful clubs, Hoffenheim seems too amateur.

And now, with enough funds, Zhang Xian is also ready to recruit a team of scouts.

"I will allocate 500,000 euros to you. I need to expand the scouting department to double digits within a month."

Braden was obviously stunned, and said, "Where did I go to find so many people?"

In this regard, Zhang Xian's answer was very clear, saying; "That's your problem, if you can't do it well, then I'm sorry, I will find someone else to do the job!"

Hearing this, Braden shuddered, and immediately said seriously: "I promise to complete the task!"

He didn't dare to say no more, if he was trying to evade, Zhang Xian would probably kill himself directly.

This Chinese can really do such a thing.

 …

In the afternoon, Zhang Xian came to the youth training base.

For Zhang Xian, youth training is as important as the first team.

The 'Internal Youth Training League' has been going on, and it has gone through three rounds of the league. Hoffenheim has lost and won, but what is surprising is that the U11-12 youth team has maintained a record of unbeaten victories.

Even in the face of the challenge of the powerful Saarbrücken youth training, they still won the game with a score of 2:1 and completed a three-game winning streak.

Of course, performance is not the main reason, the most important thing is the growth of youth players.

From the current three games, it can be seen that the teenagers are no longer so unfamiliar with the game, their cooperation has become more tacit, and their fighting spirit has become more high.

This is what Zhang Xian is most happy about now. He knows that as long as these players grow up, they will be the capital for Hoffenheim to sweep Germany and even Europe.

Zhang Xian watched the training of the U11-12 echelon for a while, and then moved to the U17-18 echelon.

These children are considered semi-finished products, but there are not too many talented children among them, and Button is the only one who has been following Hoffenheim.

Button is a taciturn child, or because of the language barrier, he is not very talkative. Although he has learned some German, he keeps silent except when playing games.

At first, the coaches thought he was not used to life in Hoffenheim, so they had a lot of conversations with him.

In the end, it was discovered that the child was just shy.

When someone praised him, he would scratch his head and smile honestly. Although he was not good at words, he did not have any conflicts with the players. Of course, there were also reasons for his strength.

Different from his shy personality, his style of play can be described as extremely hot.

All balls must be contested!

As long as he's in the game, he's a wall.

Button has a tall and strong figure, but at the same time has an agile figure, which makes him the midfield gate of the U17-18 echelon.

It is difficult for opposing players to get past his defense.

For him, Koch quarreled with Harden Bazel many times.

Koch wanted to bring Button to the first team, but Harden Bazel disagreed.

Now Hoffenheim's first team is strong enough. Button used to sit on the bench and settle down for a period of time. It's better to practice more in the youth league.

For this reason, both of them went to Zhang Xian, but in the end Zhang Xian still respected Harden Bazel's wishes.

After all, Ji'an was snatched away last time, so he can't do that again this time.

And the youth training league is also very important, he knows that Baden Hazel also needs people.

However, Zhang Xian will not let Button continue to stay in the youth training. In the second half of the winter schedule, he will promote Button to the first team for training.
