King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 14 Dreams Still Needed

Most of the signings in Notts County are quite cheap in terms of price. Except for Guardiola and Hubner, the other new players are all young players without exception.

But being young is the best future.

Although Notts County has not officially announced the arrival of these young players, the Notts County training ground suddenly has some outstanding new faces, which still excited the onlookers of Notts County's diehards.

"Randall, is there a show in the top ten in this league this year?"

"Fak, look down on Mario, just look at the few shots that Dario was in the penalty area. Who can stop the second?"

Mario scratched his head and replied to Landauer, "Then the top six in the league?"

"Can you be more bold, if people don't have dreams, what is the difference from salted fish."

"But Randall, our Notts County was a salted fish last season..."

"But we are going to turn over this year, at least we have to have an upgrade playoff place!"

"You are too bold, I think the direct league champion forget it..."

…

1.5 million left back Lahm on loan for three years, 5 million pounds coach and player Pep Guardiola, 2.7 million euros midfielder Sneijder, 2.3 million euros right winger Luo Ben, 1.5 million euros forward Hubner, 1.1 million euros left midfielder Iniesta on loan for three years, and 1 million euros forward Van Persie.

Even if the young talents of these foreign leagues are still unknown in the English League, for most English fans, these people bought by Notts County are semi-finished products, and they have almost no league experience. It looks like It's the same as buying lottery tickets.

But these expenses in Notts County are real. Even if the media keep criticizing Notts County for amateurs, but people have money, their bosses are willing to spend it.

This fact cannot be changed.

New Notts County's body was unknowingly labeled as stupid and rich.

This summer, Notts County has spent 20 million euros on transfer work. The UAE consortium and Russian energy predators have not yet entered the football world, and have not yet set off the frenzy of gold football. The purchasing power of 20 million euros is still very strong.

The League One and League Two clubs are already very wealthy if they can spend millions of pounds to buy people during a transfer period.

Even in the Premier League, the clubs in the middle and lower reaches do not have this courage. Those who can come up with 20 million euros in a transfer period to reinforce the lineup are basically Manchester United and London.

The preparations for the new season in Notts County are proceeding step by step, and the media are not tired.

The loyal janitor Old Grant also frequently reported to Wei Xun's office recently:

"Wei, there have been a lot of suspiciously dressed people at the gate of the base recently. We have to remind our lads to always be careful when going home or going out."

Wei Xun nodded, indicating that he knew it.

These people are either reporters or paparazzi, and there are really few serious criminals.

Notts County is now the well-deserved traffic king in the League Two.

No, in addition to the scandal, all major newspapers have come up with all the topics that can be compiled, and an opposition force headed by the former coach of Notts County, Scott, has also quietly begun to rise.

Wei Xun's retreat was still interrupted.

He hadn't fully spoken the sentence of his insanity before he was splashed with a basin of cold water on his face by Zhao Tai.

Wei Xun ended reluctantly today, and Zhao Tai personally led someone to grab Wei Xun from the apartment.

Although Zhao Tai is the executive director of Notts County Infrastructure, the commander-in-chief of infrastructure is still Wei Xun. There are some things that must be decided by him. If he helped him make a decision, this kid would be dissatisfied again. It's all a loss back then.

He was twenty-five years old, and Wei Xun was a little angry, and went all the way to the construction site next to the Notts County club base:

Workers from the construction company under the Shengfei Group are rushing to work day by day and night according to the construction drawings provided by the Notts County Club.

Rows after rows of Shengfei Construction, the safety-first two-story slab houses and building fences were erected within five days.

Packs of cement and yellow sand, piles of construction materials being stirred, steel neatly placed in the corners, and the construction vehicles moving in and out are so lively.

Standing in front of Wei Xun is the Notts County Fan Club, which is expected to be completed in October. At first glance, this steel frame structure is a bit of a reduced version of the auditorium.

According to Wei Xun’s vision, when the fan hall is completed, Wei Xun and the Notts County Club will host a global live broadcast of the first Notts County Fan Conference, which will also allow the people of England to see our speed in China.

Give Shengfei a chance, Shengfei will return you a miracle, this is the slogan of Shengfei Group Construction Company.

Having eaten the food of the Shengfei Group for so many years, Wei Xun did not have any memory of this slogan in his mind.

The upper-level managers are still too far away from these grass-roots workers.

The Notts County restaurants and residential areas have not been set up properly, so many people are waiting for food and accommodation.

Newly-introduced young players cannot always be placed in the homes of die-hard fans in the form of boarding, although this is very conducive to establishing a relationship between the team and the fans.

The design blueprint of the base was finalized by Wei Xun and Zhao Tai himself. Wei Xun was responsible for the blueprint design. The sketches he drew were somewhat similar to those of a graduate student in the School of Architecture. He also found a few famous professors in the School of Architecture to modify and improve them. Zhao Tai was responsible for the specific implementation.

Land prices in England are still very cheap now. The Trent River area where Notts County Club and Meadow Lane are located is already the border of Nottingham’s official jurisdiction, and land prices are a bit cheaper than other land plots.

If you don't want to subsidize your father, you have already said it. If you want to save money, you can only rely on other methods.

Wei Xun teamed up with his father, Wei Kangmei, to take down a large number of plots near the Notts County base on the north bank of the Trent River.

We will buy as long as you are willing to sell. If you are not willing to sell, we will add money to you until you are willing to sell.

Fragmented plots will be very troublesome in the later stage, so Wei Kangmei would spend such a high price to obtain the land.

As in China, as long as the compensation is sufficient, there is no such thing as nail households. But if you want the lion to open your mouth, Shengfei Group also has a hundred ways to treat you.

Violent demolitions, right?

Shengfei Group has a special department to do this, but it was useless this time.

The part slightly close to the urban area was taken away by Shengfei Group for the development of business districts and residential areas. In the part of the residential area close to the Notts County Club site, a Notts County Club family area needs to be built, which is a future allocation For staff and player family members who meet the standards, if they do not meet the standards, they can buy them at a preferential price.

Wei Xun knew that house prices in future generations would rise quickly and fiercely, but the country was vast and sparsely populated, with a developed economy, land prices were far from crazy enough.

Hoarding real estate in the UK does not make much money. The real money is in infrastructure projects and subsequent development.

Most of the bidding projects for the Notts County Club were successfully bid by several construction companies under the Shengfei Group. However, based on the principle that the sedan chair can lift people, Wei Kangmei still leaked some oily projects from the nails, according to Wei Xun. In the name of Notts County, they contracted to some local construction companies in Nottingham.

In any case, both Wei Xun and New Notts County are newcomers, and there should be room for people and things. Wei Kangmei cannot allow Wei Xun to teach others at the beginning of the club's development.

As the young owner of the Shengfei Group, the future heir, the new chairman of the Notts County Football Club, and the owner of the final interpretation of this project, the construction has been under way for so long. This is the first time Wei Xun has come here. It's too shameful!

No face-saving project will be done.

Wei Kangmei urged Wei Xun to visit the construction site many times on the phone, comforted the workers, said a few words of self-confidence, sent some condolences or bonuses, but Wei Xun just didn't listen.

"I'm telling you, doing business is like fighting a war. You have been a kid with a lot of ideas and will make fun of people, but when you go to the battlefield, there must be some people around you who are working for you! If you still don't go, I will let Zhao Tai tie you over... ".

But Wei Xun's lazy cancer committed again, and Zhao Tai had to come to the door to tie someone.

Hey, it's all here, so I have to show it well in front of the domestic and foreign media:

"Come on, change clothes for this palace..."

Later, someone put a dirty large-size tooling on Wei Xun's body, with a yellow helmet on his head.

Don't say it, it really looks like that.

The yellow cement paste and some paints of other colors stained Wei Xun's body, which can be regarded as a yellow robe.

"I think at the beginning, Lao Tzu's team only opened, only your dozens of people, seven or eight guns..."

Wei Xun stretched out his hand to shake the dust on his tooling, waved his hand, greeted several people behind him and said:

"Hurry up and submit the pictures of the thousands of miles in this palace..."

In the crowd, I don't know which guy yelled "hi".

The workers near Wei Xun all started to laugh. The Nottsshire staff who accompanied them and the local construction owners in Nottingham looked at them dumbfounded. To avoid embarrassment, they also laughed, "Ha...ha...haha...".

It seems that after today, the Chinese language training market in Nottingham will be booming, but Notts County has major projects.

Expand the blueprint of the new Notts County base planned by Wei Xun staying up late:

The two largest areas above the drawing are the responsibility of Shengfei Group. On the left is the Chinese-style garden residential area, and the target customers are middle and high-income groups; the right is the core business area, which will become the New Notts County club area in the future. Key areas of life and entertainment;

The huge open space in the middle is the future Magpie Square. All the roads are paved with marble. This will become the core education base of the Notts County Club.

On Magpie Square, three flagpoles will be erected, and the Chinese flag, the British flag, and the flag of the Notts County Club will be hung.

Going further inside, a white marble watch will be erected, and I haven't figured out what to engrave yet.

In order to purchase a white marble watch of this size, Wei Kangmei also spent a lot of effort in the country. It is also that the face of Wei Anguo's father is big enough, otherwise it is really hard to say.

There are still people up there who can do things well.

Below the Huabiao, there will be a wall dedicated to recording the deeds of the people who have made outstanding contributions to the Notts County Club.

The two buildings further south are the Notts County Club Hall of Honor and the Notts County History Museum.

On the west side of the honor showroom, there are the players’ apartments and the club medical center, as well as a supporting community hospital, to facilitate the base residential area and club players to seek medical treatment in time.

On the other side is a bold design by Wei Xun, the Notts County Fan Club. It is specially provided for fans of Notts County for rallies and other activities.

Between the fan hall and the business district, there is also an area reserved for the future Notts County Sculpture Park. In the future, sculptures will be erected for the players who have established meritorious services in Notts County, as a memorial, which will be passed on forever.

Immediately afterwards, there will be a long green belt separating the living area and the club competition area. The three blocks in the middle are the Meadow Lane Stadium, the home of Notts County, the new office building of the Notts County Club, and the team training center;

The No. 1 and No. 2 restaurants in Notts County are located on the left side of the Meadow Lane Stadium, offering tastes and cuisines from all over the world. For the players' career, the food in the restaurant must meet the standards of professional players, and the staff and players use different windows to line up for dinner.

In the triangle area of ​​the green belt and Meadow Lane Stadium, a data analysis building will also be erected, and big data will be used to provide reference for the future planning and youth training layout of Notts County.

Close to the banks of the tributary of the Trent River, there will be the team’s residential area and single-family villa area. Players’ families, married players, foreign coaches and staff who have not purchased real estate can apply. Live here.

Families of young players who have not signed a professional contract are completely free. Other qualified personnel only need to pay a low rent to move in. The club will bear all water and electricity costs.

The east bank of the Trent River is the future of the team, Notts County Kindergarten, Elementary and Middle School, and Notts County Youth Training Center!

The combination of sports and education can allow parents to send their children to Notts County with confidence.

The potential is really great. The players and their parents are willing to be strong, and the club will directly sign youth training contracts with them. I don't want to be a professional player. I just treat football as a hobby, and it won't delay my future work.

On the east side of the club base is the team’s indoor and outdoor training ground, which is also the area where construction effects can be seen the most so far:

Workers are filling soil and planting turf in an orderly manner. After all, player training cannot be stopped for too long.

Therefore, the construction of the training field in the base is also the most urgent. Wei Xun spent a lot of money to recruit a large number of temporary workers to complete the construction of the training field.

Wei Xun spent so much cost to build his kingdom because of many considerations.

To become a world-class professional football club, both software and hardware must meet the standards. At the same time, the club must also establish a strong team culture as a support.

They both carry one head on two shoulders. Why can't others do, but you can?

Willpower, habits and beliefs!

Wei Xun admitted that he had copied the *** Square and the Monument to the People's Heroes, but this is indeed the best way to shape the club's spiritual culture.

In the future, every young player from Notts County will go to the Honor Gallery, History Museum, Sculpture Park, and the Notts County Heroes Monument to edify and inherit the club culture.

Notts County, the future can be expected.
