Star Coach

Jiangshan knew that Levy's transfer operation was quite disgusting. He liked to sell players the day before the transfer window ended. They were actually buying new left-backs, but for Bale, they had to hold on to him and not sell him until the transfer market closed.

In this way, his side could have a lot more preparation time, and the purchase of players was guaranteed. In addition, it could delay the opponent's preparations, killing two birds with one stone, which was very insidious.

After being awakened by Jiangshan, Woodward immediately woke up, left the negotiation team to continue arguing with Levy, and then took the sponsorship team to fly to China with Jiangshan.

After more than a year of operation, West Ham United also has many stars. Although the cards are not big, there are many young and handsome players, who are very popular among young fans.

Reus is the most handsome, especially popular among female fans in China. If he endorses sanitary napkins, it is estimated that it will cause a hot sales boom. All the players bought by Jiangshan who did not participate in the World Cup set off with him.

David Silva, Hummels, Kroos, Lewandowski and others in the West Ham team are all players of their respective national teams. They went to South Africa to participate in the competition and failed to come to China, missing the opportunity to increase their popularity.

Jiangshan saw that there were not enough players, so he also pulled a group of players from the youth team. Even though Harry Kane was confirmed to be rented out next season, he still took him to let him feel the warmth of the team.

There were also young players such as Kante and Mahrez who were less than 20 years old and also needed to be rented out to accumulate game experience. Kante was discovered by Jiangshan in Suresnes, and Mahrez was discovered from the Quimper team. They are all in the low-level league in France, and the cost of digging is particularly low.

There are still many young talented players in the West Ham youth training camp, but there is no need to bring them now, and wait for them to grow up one by one.

Of course, there is also a young man recommended by Tony Carr, Voss, who just turned 16, an attacking midfielder. Jiangshan was not impressed with this midfielder. He is obviously talented, so why doesn't he know any news?

"He will definitely not be able to play in the future, so it's better to sell him as soon as possible." Jiangshan thought to himself, and had already sentenced this guy to death. To be fair, this player has great talent, but he lives an undisciplined life and likes the life of nightclubs. Jiangshan guessed that he fell into nightclubs and could not become a talent.

With all the personnel in place, Jiangshan personally led the team to China. As soon as he arrived at the airport, he could hear countless fans shouting.

"So there are so many fans to welcome me when I joined West Ham? My popularity in China must be higher than that in England." Baines was in a bit of a weird mood. He was not in the national team, but he could still have such a high popularity in China. It is estimated that only Jiangshan can bring such influence.

"I didn't expect so many people to know me, hehe... I have to show it well." Harry Kane was very proud, "Jiangshan said that my future is limitless, and I can't let people look down on me."

As soon as Woodward arrived in Beijing, he started business negotiations, and he didn't even have time to attend the press conference. Jiangshan was facing reporters all the way.

During the World Cup, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans was very high. When they saw West Ham players appear, they responded with great enthusiasm.

Many fans also bought West Ham's peripheral products. The sales in the past two days have exceeded their sales in England in a quarter.

The first game was against Guoan. The Chinese Super League was still going on. Both sides did not exert their full strength. It was like an exhibition match, and they played happily. Woodward was very excited, "Jiangshan, I found that the team's peripheral products are particularly popular. It seems that we need to make the cake bigger."

"Also, we have signed an agreement with Wahaha to designate them as a domestic partner in China, with a sponsorship fee of 1 million pounds."

"At the same time, there are also sponsorships from China Mobile and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. I think these two companies have great influence and are vigorously expanding foreign markets. I think we can make a profit."

"Make a good deal, they have plenty of money." Jiangshan was very satisfied with Woodward's business operations, and he was responsible for all the specific matters.

This summer, he must make a profit, otherwise the net investment will exceed the target again. He doesn't have much money to spend on team operations. Self-sufficiency is the correct way for West Ham to develop.

Jiangshan had no time to relax. He had to run in the team and participate in the show. The whole summer was very busy. Fortunately, the time was not long, and he had a training base in Shanghai.

The team's training was often held here. The conditions were great, not inferior to those in England.

In more than half a month, West Ham played 5 games in China. Every game was a big score, which was very exciting. The fans were happy to watch and the team made money.

Woodward almost laughed his teeth off. Although he didn't make much money from peripheral products this time, the amount of several sponsorships was not small. China Mobile invested 3 million pounds to become a domestic communications partner. What West Ham had to do was to find a few players to shoot commercials.

Of course, all sponsors hope that Jiangshan and Reus can attend. The influence of handsome guys can be seen.

ICBC invested 5 million pounds to start initial cooperation. I heard that ICBC will also issue West Ham star debit cards, and the intention to prepare for long-term cooperation is reflected.

Woodward almost never refuses sponsorship, including sanitary ware companies and food processing companies in southern Fujian. If it weren't for the difficulty in cooperating with shoe and clothing companies, Woodward would have spent millions more pounds in southern Fujian.

After more than half a month, Woodward lost weight and became darker, but he was energetic and in good condition. "It is indeed the boss's home court. These companies are too crazy."

After a trip, West Ham made a lot of money, with an extra sponsorship fee of 15 million pounds, and 15 million pounds per year. The contract period is basically 5 years. In the past few years, West Ham's basic expenses have been enough from here.

When the season is about to start, Bale's transfer finally achieved a major breakthrough. Tottenham finally gave in and was ready to let him go. The opening price was 30 million pounds, which was not cheap at all.

At the same time, they were also paying attention to West Ham's itinerary in China and found that several young people in West Ham were good! Especially the 16-year-old Voss, who performed outstandingly and had great hope of becoming the next superstar.

Voss's performance in China is particularly in line with their future plans, and they asked to include Voss in the transfer.

Woodward also learned from Levy's way, biting Voss and continuing to argue. Finally, before the start of the season, the transfer was finally agreed.

Bale transferred to West Ham for a transfer fee of 25 million pounds, a super price. You know, Bale is only 21 years old. Although he is the best newcomer, he is still a long way from being a star. In the eyes of the outside world, West Ham is taking a gamble.

Voss transferred to Tottenham for a transfer fee of only 500,000 pounds. He signed an apprentice contract, and the price was not high. In fact, the invisible transfer fee was 5 million pounds, which just offset Bale's transfer fee.
