388: Chapter 388 A group of professionals in the football club! Fighting spirit 15!

After Yi Jiangang left, Su Yang took a look at the buff for Meteor Football Club.

[Desire to Win +15%: Slightly increases the club members' desire for victory.]

[Note 1: This buff not only covers the team members, but when competing against teams outside the club, all club employees—including the coaching staff, logistics personnel, and management—will be bolstered by the buff.]

[Note 2: The stronger the desire for victory, the greater the sense of achievement and pleasure gained after winning.]

This was the strongest, most comprehensive buff Su Yang had selected from the many available when the football club was first established!

Football is a sport that places great emphasis on competitiveness.

Just like playing "Honor of Kings," nobody wants to lose; everyone wants to win.

Football is war; it is victory!

The more everyone craves victory, the harder they will work!

What Su Yang valued most, of course, was the sense of achievement and pleasure after the team won.

This would surely bring wonderful enjoyment to the customers!

And once they had enjoyed it, wouldn't they want to enjoy it a few more times?

Su Yang would have the club management keep track of the winning records for each member participating in the team!

He had to ensure that every one of them could enjoy the fun of football and the joy of victory!

This buff could even cover the coaching staff, logistics, management, and all other club members, which was truly impressive!

The clearer and more unified everyone's goals were, the more they would pull in the same direction.

Of course, if the football club developed toward professionalization, this buff could also play a powerful role!

As for the attribute points rewarded for establishing the football club, they actually surprised Su Yang a bit.

1 Spirit, 1 Strength, 1 constitution, 1 agility... it was very comprehensive, very nice!

In the afternoon, Su Yang received a call from Fernando.

Su Yang leaned back in his boss chair: "So, you are willing to stay?"

"Yes! And my... wife!"

"Welcome!"

Su Yang already knew about Fernando's situation through Adrian!

"But regarding the compensation..."

"I will increase your salary by five hundred thousand, and it will be based on your working hours at Fildo Group, including your wife and any other staff members willing to stay!"

"Thank you!"

"Help me persuade the other employees who want to stay in China; after all, it's not that far by plane from France to China!"

"I'll try!"

"Tell them that if they stay, I will also give them a raise!"

"Alright!"

"By the way, help me persuade Adrian; I quite appreciate him as well!" Su Yang thought for a moment and added, "If you know any professional French wine experts, you can recommend them to me too!"

Adrian would definitely stay...

"Can they be Chinese?"

"Of course!"

"I once exchanged ideas with several winemakers from Chenyu Group. There are a few I feel are quite excellent, especially the one named Li Dong. He has great insights into distilled wine, and I've benefited quite a bit from him... However, his compensation is far worse than mine, with an annual salary of only over two hundred thousand... It's really hard to say!"

"Do you have his contact information?"

Su Yang was somewhat moved.

He loved hoarding talent!

In high-tech industries, he still greatly respected technical talent.

Besides, Chenyu Group was a large company with massive assets, so they certainly wouldn't care if he poached a few people.

One could tell from the salary that they definitely didn't care much about that Li Dong!

"Yes!"

"Give me all of those you think are good; I'll see how many I can poach!"

"Alright, and also, my wife says there is a professor named Zuo Quan who is very capable in plateau grape cultivation techniques!"

Fernando's wife, Camille, was also an expert in cultivating wine grapes!

"A professor?"

"It seems he is from your provincial agricultural university. Can he be poached?"

"Ahem, that might be hard to poach, but I can invite him over often!"

"That works too!"

"..."

After receiving the phone numbers forwarded by Fernando via wechat, Su Yang was in an even better mood!

The next morning, after waking up and washing up, Su Yang said goodbye to Qin Shuang.

Luhu Villa was too big; living there alone felt a bit desolate, and he felt that Qin Shuang's house was more comfortable to live in.

Plus, he didn't want to spend over half an hour commuting to work every day!

So, on weekdays, he usually stayed at Qin Shuang's place.

Emmmm... most of the time, Luhu Villa was left for the nanny to stay in!

"Su Yang!"

"Yes!"

"How many other women do you have?"

"Of course not, I only love you!"

Qin Shuang opened her eyes and rolled them at him: "Can you find someone else to come over? I can't handle you!"

Su Yang was too strong; after being with him once, Qin Shuang felt like she could be satisfied for a week!

But every time, she was both expectant and afraid... afraid of being worn out to death.

When a man dies in bed, it's called "dying in the saddle," but what is it called when a woman dies in bed?

"Is that okay?"

"Find someone with a tight lip!"

"I'll consider it!"

"Mm!"

"Then you continue resting?"

"Alright!"

Su Yang arrived at the office right on time and saw a backside with a perky butt.

Yu Chengjun was in a professional suit, wearing fitted trousers, with her back to him, bending over while wiping his desk.

But her swaying hips still made Su Yang's mind wander!

This subtle, elusive temptation...

There was no helping it!

After all, he was a normal man!

However, Su Yang quickly thought that since returning from De County, this little secretary had seemed to become a bit strange!

Could it be that he had thought wrong?

Or was he being overly sentimental?

Even though he had thought a lot in his mind, it actually only took a few seconds.

Su Yang directly scouted Yu Chengjun!

[Name]: Yu Chengjun

[Status]: Nervous, slightly excited

[Skills]: 1. Eloquence (Ordinary), 2. Acting (Ordinary), 3. Secretarial Logistics (Entry) ...

[Talent]: 1. Communication (Three-star), 2. Business Management (One-star)

Excited?

The hell are you excited about!

Su Yang finally confirmed that he shouldn't have misinterpreted the situation, and he wasn't being overly sentimental!

"Boss, you're here!"

Yu Chengjun turned her head in surprise.

"Yes!" Su Yang nodded calmly and sat in his seat, "Finished cleaning?"

"Everything is cleaned up!"

"You cleaned a bit late today!" Su Yang looked at Yu Chengjun, who had a beautiful face, was full of youthful vitality, and possessed a touch of sweetness and the air of a workplace elite, and said, "In the past, you always finished before I arrived at the company!"

"Sorry, Boss, I got up late!"

Su Yang said in a low voice: "Be careful next time!"

"Alright!"

After being verbally reprimanded by Su Yang, when Yu Chengjun gently closed the office door, she couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration!

This outcome was something she hadn't expected at all.

After Yu Chengjun left, Su Yang also sighed slightly in his heart.

Temptation was truly everywhere!

This world was simply too dangerous for an outstanding man like him.

If he wasn't careful, he might become someone else's prey!

Su Yang still appreciated Yu Chengjun somewhat.

She was good-looking, had good talent, worked diligently and carefully, and was hardworking and uncomplaining.

In terms of performance, there was nothing to find fault with...

In the afternoon, Su Yang began the interview process for the football club's management team.

By noon the next day, he had roughly decided on the club's management and coaching staff.

The general manager position would be held by Xie Yuxiang, who was forty-five years old and came from within the system.

He loved football and had been involved in football his entire life.

He had previously served as middle management for a local Chinese Super League team and had also been the deputy general manager of a China League Two football club.

Later, that club's team had brilliant results in the beginning and had the potential to be promoted to China League One!

But two years later, the club was riddled with debt and owed over ten million in wages to the club management and team players.

The club management looked for connections everywhere and begged the authorities, hoping the club could survive.

The team's famous head coach even stated that if any enterprise was willing to take over the team, the wages owed to the team players, management, and staff could be wiped clean, just hoping the team could survive...

Of course, the result was that no enterprise was willing to take over this China League Two football club.

The team was directly dissolved on the spot!

It was slightly tragic, but Su Yang thought it was okay.

Not to mention the distant ones like Quanxing, Hongta, Yanbian, and other top-tier league teams, just looking at the data he had read, in the last five seasons, at least six Chinese Super League top-tier teams had dissolved.

Tianjin Tianhai, Suzhou, Shancheng Liangjiang Athletic, Jiangcheng, Yangcheng, and Bincheng Ren.

The Yangcheng football team, which had won the Chinese Super League eight times—the most in league history—was even renting trophies on an online store to try to survive before it dissolved.

The Suzhou team dissolved on the spot three months after winning the Chinese Super League, which was truly defying the heavens.

Thirty years of domestic professional football had been shrouded in a sense of tragedy.

So, a local China League Two football team dissolving was just too normal.

After Xie Yuxiang left that China League Two football club, he served as the head of two amateur clubs, and recently, upon learning that Spark Fitness was going to establish a football club, he came directly to apply.

In short, Xie Yuxiang had quite a lot of connections locally, whether with other amateur or professional football clubs, or at the Football Association.

Besides that, he was also a loyal customer of Spark Fitness, the kind who bought an annual membership!

Additionally, Su Yang also recruited two good deputy general managers.

One was Huang Jianuo, only thirty-one years old, who obtained a master's degree in sports management from Loughborough University in the UK, interned at a Premier League club, had served in middle management, had capabilities leaning towards sports marketing, and had quite good talent.

And there was Xiao Sui, who was once a player who studied abroad in Germany; although he didn't have many achievements, after switching to club management, his ability was quite good, he was skilled at organizing and managing teams, and he possessed a coaching license.

The head coach was Zhang Yunzhong, who had also studied abroad and came from a Chinese Super League professional team.

After switching to a professional coach, he had long been teaching students at a football school.

To be honest, Su Yang didn't expect to be able to recruit these talents.

Of course, it was also possible that his eye for talent was too good.

People with talent and ability couldn't escape his eyes!

In fact, he didn't offer very high salaries.

The general manager had an annual salary of three hundred thousand, and the deputy general managers and head coach had annual salaries of only two hundred and fifty thousand!

For the others, Su Yang also provided professional assistant coaches, support coaches, physical coaches, and so on.

As for the logistics, Su Yang didn't care; the management team would solve that themselves.

Su Yang wouldn't treat the ordinary employees poorly either.

The club's ordinary employees couldn't earn big money, but they were guaranteed two days off per week and social security.

However, they mostly couldn't rest on Saturdays and Sundays.

On the day he recruited these eight new employees to the company, the club held a general meeting.

At the meeting, Su Yang told all the club employees:

Meteor Football Club was established by Spark Fitness to meet the needs of fan customers.

As long as the losses weren't serious, he could accept them.

It was enough to make most of the bosses and customers feel satisfied.

He didn't care whether it made money or not; it just highlighted that he was rich and willful!

After Su Yang left, there was a moment of silence in the Meteor Football Club's meeting room.

"Everyone just get used to it; that's the big boss's style!" Yi Jiangang said with a smile, "He won't waste words; you just need to execute according to his requirements."

"Alright, General Manager Yi!"

Xie Yuxiang nodded with a smile.

Next, Yi Jiangang continued the meeting with the football club's senior management.

When the meeting ended, Xie Yuxiang turned his head and smiled at the deputy general manager, Xiao Sui, and the head coach, Zhang Yunzhong: "I didn't expect the three of us to be able to work together!"

Because they were all practitioners in the local football industry, they had actually interacted before.

Xiao Sui said with a smile: "I was pulled over by Old Xie..."

"I was recommended by a friend!" Zhang Yunzhong said with a smile: "The football school was laying off staff, so I ran away first!"

The other deputy general manager, Huang Jianuo, saw that something was wrong; why did it feel like he was an outsider?

Xie Yuxiang didn't neglect Huang Jianuo: "General Manager Huang, I heard you graduated from Loughborough?"

"Yes!"

"You seem to know Zhang Yunzhong?"

Huang Jianuo said somewhat embarrassedly: "I watched Coach Zhang's matches when I was a kid, and my dad even collected his signed jersey!"

"Hahaha..."

Su Yang returned to the office and directly opened the system notification:

[Ding~ Your club has more than 10 official employees; you have obtained an achievement reward: 2 Spirit points, 2 Strength points, 2 constitution points, 2 agility points, and Advanced Ball Sense talent; the football club under your name can obtain a new permanent buff.]

[1. Tactical Execution Improvement, 2. Fighting Spirit Improvement, 3. Training Effect Improvement, 4. Publicity and Promotion Effect Improvement, 5. Team Coordination Efficiency Improvement, 6. Service Effect Improvement...]

Su Yang thought about it and decided to choose Fighting Spirit Improvement.

The more fighting spirit everyone had, the less they would accept defeat, and the more they would crave victory, the more they would be able to play wonderful matches.

The more fighting spirit they had, even if they lost, they wouldn't give up easily and would come back to settle the score next time!

He welcomed the bosses to come again next time!

As for publicity and promotion, he had his own professional GG Media Company!

Tactical execution and team coordination were too high of a requirement for ordinary amateur teams.

It wasn't even certain if they would play together next time!

As for the other training effect improvements, Su Yang could consider outsourcing football training to Yanhu Education.

He should be able to piggyback on Yanhu Education's +50% learning ability improvement buff, if needed!

[Ding~ Your Meteor Football Club has obtained a special buff: +30% Desire to Win, +15% Fighting Spirit.]

After seeing this buff, Su Yang nodded with satisfaction and then added the attribute points to his body.

As for Advanced Ball Sense, he didn't care much about it.

As a big boss, he wasn't going to become some football player!

In the Linyi Film and Television office, Lin Yi said in disbelief: "Lin Yi is only worth twenty million?"

Yu Siying nodded: "About that!"

"Our Linyi Film and Television has the third-tier star Tang Ximing!"

Yu Siying nodded calmly: "That's why I added an extra ten million; I've already been very sincere!"

Lin Yi said unwillingly: "He is only worth ten million?"

"The contract expires in one year; do you think he will renew it?" Yu Siying stared at Lin Yi and said, "Can he earn ten million for the company in one year?"

Lin Yi decisively changed the subject: "We have a professional film and television production team!"

"These people are a dime a dozen now; there are many industry insiders who can't find work!" Yu Siying chuckled, "You should be grateful that after I acquire the company, I will give them a meal."

"What about the copyrights we have accumulated over these years?"

"Three million, no more; those ten-plus IPs aren't worth that much now!"

"We also have professional shooting equipment..."

"You can find those in the second-hand market; there are so many film and television production companies going bankrupt every year!"

"Our Lin Yi still has some fame!"

"It's already declined; it's just a third-tier film and television production company!"

"Uh!"

Lin Yi felt like she was going to explode with anger!

Yu Siying chuckled: "How about this, let's both take a step back; how about twenty-three million?"

"Fine!"

Lin Yi sighed, feeling as if her bones had been pulled out.
