Goldfinger is a bit strange

In the presence of Earl Martin, chairman of the Football Association, as well as representatives of the Nottingham City Government and fans, Liu Qingshan and Mr. Rice, the former chairman of Notts County Club, signed a purchase contract.

The price Liu Qingshan paid was to repay Notts County's debt of two million pounds and pay an additional one hundred thousand pounds to Mr. Rice.

However, the external price is claimed to be a total of five million pounds.

This principle is similar to the principle of sending out troops in ancient times, with a hundred thousand soldiers, but claiming to have millions of soldiers.

The price of 2.1 million pounds to acquire a League Two team is actually a bit high at the moment.

However, considering the long history of Notts County Club and the rapid development of commercial football, it is considered to be excellent value for money.

After signing, Liu Qingshan became the new chairman of Notts County Club.

Everyone welcomed and congratulated him with warm applause. .

This is the most satisfactory result for all parties: Mr. Rice has finally emerged from the quagmire, and the government has successfully shed its burden.

Fans are also very happy: they finally no longer have to donate money to their beloved team!

No one is rich these days, and donations from fans will certainly not last long and will not fundamentally solve the problem.

Just like a team like Notts County, their results are too mediocre and they don't have the support of big sponsors.

Local reporters were also very supportive and conducted some interviews on the spot. The focus was of course on the new chairman Liu Qingshan.

"Mr. Mountain, what are your ideas for the development of the team?" A reporter began to ask, which is something that everyone is very concerned about.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "Our top priority is to improve the team's strength."

"How to improve?"

"It's very simple, buy the players we need." The smile on Liu Qingshan's face became even wider.

Reporters like to inquire: "Which players do you think the team needs?"

"As long as they are excellent players, we need them. For example, these members of the current England national team, after all, they won fourth place in the World Cup."

Liu Qingshan's words were astonishing, and the reporters were stunned: What a huge appetite!

Before the reporters could react, Liu Qingshan continued: "I plan to invest 20 million pounds in the club this season to recruit players and improve the team's strength."

Wow!

Everyone present exclaimed, even Earl Martin, who always pays attention to his manners, was no exception.

Today, the pound is still relatively strong, and it is basically around 1.50 against the US dollar.

Twenty million pounds, or at least thirty million US dollars, is an absolutely generous sum for any club at the moment.

You must know that for players at this time, transfer fees and the like are really not high.

Just like Maradona, when he was most valuable, he was only worth 9 million US dollars, which was the highest among the stars at that time.

As for the members of the England national team, the transfer fee for the team's most famous star at the time, Lineker, was 1.2 million pounds.

In other words, for 10 million pounds, you can basically buy all the main players of the England World Cup team.

Compared with the transfer fees that would cost tens or even hundreds of millions a few decades later, this seems to be quite cheap, but in fact it is not necessarily the case. In this era, money is relatively real in the entire world.

The reporters were so shocked that they didn't know what to ask. The fan representatives were going crazy, and they were all screaming weirdly.

Of course they have reason to be excited: finally there is a rich boss!

Liu Qingshan saw that the reporters were silent, so he continued: "I have to ask you all to help me and spread the word in the newspaper."

"If England team players are interested in joining Notts Club, their income will be doubled compared to the original club."

Reporters continue to be confused: How can you still play like this?

Count Martin's lips moved a few times, and he wanted to say: If you do this, you will definitely be disliked by other clubs.

But think about it, it seems that there is no rule against this kind of practice.

When people have money, they like to spend it like this, and there is no need for others to tell them what to do.

But if this happens, the transfer market will be thrown into chaos by Mr. Mountain.

The value of the players is generally going to be raised to a higher level. I really don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing?

Earl Martin was a little worried, feeling that Mr. Mountain was the catfish mixed in with the group of sardines.

Big news!

The reporters finally realized that if this news was published, it would definitely cause a chaos.

The more chaos, the better. Of course, reporters are afraid that the world will not be in chaos.

So they surrounded Liu Qingshan and started asking questions.

Liu Qingshan answered one by one with a smile, and those excited fans dispersed and went back to spread the good news.

After dealing with reporters and sending away government officials, the rest are basically club members.

Notts County Club, due to financial constraints, does not have many staff members, and they are basically pieced together.

The coaching staff who were on vacation were also summoned. The head coach is Neil Warnock, and his coaching ability and level are acceptable.

His biggest achievement is leading seven different teams to promotion. He is a promotion coach, which is quite suitable for Notts County Club, which is currently preparing to move from the Second Division to the First Division.

Although the coaching staff is called a "team", there are actually only two people, one is the head coach Neil, and the other is the assistant coach, who is responsible for training. The division of labor is as simple and crude as this.

It seems that the original chairman, in order to save money, really kept the troops simple and simple.

Liu Qingshan met with coach Neil. After some pleasantries, he told Neil that he wanted to spend a lot of money to recruit players.

Neil was excited at first. After all, as a coach, who wouldn't be willing to coach high-level players.

But soon I became a little worried: "But what about the original players? Are they all fired?"

The assistant coach is Carlisle, a young man in his thirties who was a retired Notts County player. He also added:

“There are several players on the team who are locals and have been playing for the team.”

Liu Qingshan understood clearly: These players may not necessarily be very capable, but they are all veterans of the club. If they are all kicked out, it will have a bad impact on the club, as if the club has no feelings.

This is very important because it determines whether the players will have a sense of belonging to the club.

Liu Qingshan had actually thought about it a long time ago. He waved his hand very simply:

"This is easy to solve. If they are willing, they can retire directly and join the work of the club. Now the manpower in various departments of the club does need to be supplemented."

After all, he has been a player and is an insider. Even if he retires, he can still engage in football-related work.

Gu Pei could be a trainer, an assistant, or at worst, a scout.

Assistant coach Carlisle took a deep look at Liu Qingshan, and he couldn't help but feel good about the new boss.

This approach can help players still have a stable job after retirement, which will definitely win people's hearts.

It seems that the new boss is not only rich, but also has a conscience, and Carlisle also sees hope for the Magpies.

Several people were holding the team's roster and confirming the players one by one. In fact, there were some good players in the team, such as Steve Cherry and Phil Turner.

Notts County Club will return to the First Division next season, and these two players have contributed a lot.

Players like this must of course continue to renew their contracts, but of course their remuneration must also be appropriately increased.

Most players need to leave the team, and meritorious players are recruited to the club to continue working.

After placing the existing players, the team will only have five or six players left, so it is obvious that the team needs to be reorganized.

This is also a relatively big test for the coaching staff. It is not easy to integrate a new team.

Liu Qingshan continued to control the overall situation: "According to my analysis, under the temptation of our high salary, there will definitely be several players from the national team who will come to serve. Everyone, be prepared."

"In addition, send someone specifically to contact Lineker and poach him no matter what the cost."

"Sir, Lineker is already thirty." Head coach Neil reminded that such a veteran does not seem worth investing too much financial resources.

Liu Qingshan smiled slightly: "Our team needs a team soul."

The coaching duo instantly understood that Lineker had the highest honor in the England team. With such a player as captain, the team's cohesion would immediately build.

The two couldn't help but look at each other: Who said Mr. Mountain doesn't understand football?

Lineker's current net worth is not high. It is estimated that with a price of two million pounds, he will definitely be tempted. There is still a high chance of success in this matter.

Afterwards, the coaching duo mentioned a few more players they thought were suitable for the team, and Liu Qingshan also agreed. After all, players are really cheap nowadays, with ordinary ones costing hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Liu Qingshan raised another question: that is, the echelon construction of the team must also pay attention to the training of young players, so as to form a virtuous cycle.

Everyone knows this truth. The reason why Notts County Club could not do it before was because they had no money to invest. Now it is better. They no longer have to dig and search and break a penny in half to spend.

Liu Qingshan also provided the coaching staff with a list of young players, such as Roberto Baggio, Zidane, Alan Schiller, etc. Those who can be recruited should be recruited into the team as much as possible.

"It is said that Robert's transfer fee has exceeded 10 million US dollars." Coach Neil frowned.

Baggio performed well in the just-concluded World Cup and scored the most exciting goal of the World Cup, so his value has also increased.

"It doesn't matter. Money is not an issue. I will call him personally."

Liu Qingshan and Baggio still have a good relationship. After all, Baggio was hired as the spokesperson of Jade Bird Mobile.

As for Zidane and Schiller, who are not yet famous, they are very cheap. If they are given one hundred and eighty thousand pounds, they can basically be recruited.

In a few years, they will be worth tens of millions, which will definitely not be a loss.

At this time, players had not yet experienced price increases, and the famous Bosman Act had not yet been passed.

Just like the later Shevchenko, he once won the European Footballer, Golden Football Award and other honors. He played for AC Milan, Chelsea and other teams, and he was definitely a big star.

Such a big star went to the Shenhua team for trial training in the domestic A-A team, but was disliked by the team, saying that he was too tall and not suitable for playing football.

And how much was Shevchenko worth at the time?

He asked for one million, but the team found it too expensive, and he was not hired.

As for domestic Class A, when it was officially professionalized in 1994, the player value was basically only a few hundred thousand Chinese dollars.

The most expensive one at that time was General Fan, worth 1.2 million.

Thinking of domestic football, Liu Qingshan felt that after returning to China, he still had to invest in a football school. As for buying a team in China for fun, he had no such idea.

At that time, he would not be criticized by the media, saying that he invested all his money in foreign teams.

Liu Qingshan stayed in the club for two days. Money makes things easier, and basically all the club's affairs were implemented.

At the same time, the newspapers throughout England were almost flooded with Nottingham County Club.

The reason is very simple. This kind of high-priced recruitment of players is really unprecedented.

The first to express his position was the rising star of the national team, Gascoigne, who was known as the bad boy. He issued a statement saying that he was willing to join Nottingham County Club.

When other players were hiding and embarrassed to speak, Gascoigne, who acted on his own, was the first to lift the fig leaf.

With the lead to attract firepower, it would be easy to deal with. One after another, several national team players began to contact Nottingham County Club.

On the third day, Lineker announced that he would join Notts County with a transfer fee of 2.6 million pounds.

This price also set off the media again, because Lineker's value was only 1.2 million, which was more than doubled.

It seems that Notts County Club is serious, not just for show.

With Lineker's lead, six national team players have joined Notts County, with prices ranging from 1 million pounds to 2 million pounds.

These players together are less than 10 million pounds, which makes Liu Qingshan happy and shout that it is cheap.

Notts County fans are all crazy. For many years, the team has not made such a big move.

All fans are full of expectations for the new season.

"It's great to be rich." The fans of Nottingham Forest, the rival team in the same city, can't help but feel a little jealous.

"It's great to be rich!" Notts County fans usually respond with this sentence, leaving the other party speechless.

What made Liu Qingshan most gratified was that Roberto Baggio also agreed to join, and Zidane and Schiller also expressed their willingness to join.

When the time comes, the other positions will be filled. This team will compete in the second division. Liu Qingshan feels like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

The ancient Notts County Club has regained its vitality and is thriving.

As for other teams, they are more miserable. They curse Mr. Mountain behind his back.

If they want to keep the original main players, they must increase their salaries, which will increase a large amount of expenses for nothing. Of course, they have reason to curse.

But Liu Qingshan doesn't care. He is just a troublemaker. Next year, he will brew a bigger football storm.

After arranging the club's affairs, Liu Qingshan returned to London.

As soon as he returned to the hotel where the Heart to Heart Art Troupe lived, Gao Lingfeng told him that someone had invited him.

Liu Qingshan was a little tired these days. Just when he was about to refuse, he heard Gao Lingfeng say, "It's the crown princess of the royal family."

Liu Qingshan nodded. It seemed that he had to accept this invitation.

March, early spring.

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim blood rain.

The city was full of broken walls and ruins, and everything was withered. Collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, withering silently.

The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff had long been soaked into wet red, full of gloom and weirdness.

The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, and looked at the mottled stones in front of them alone.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered clothes, full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his worn-out coat from all directions, swept through his body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog about seven or eight feet away from him, and sometimes vigilantly observed the surroundings.

It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, the slightest movement would instantly take it into the air.
