Ordinary people might not think the name on the masthead is worth fussing over.

Isn't the football team in Changsha from Xiang Province!

But Su Yang cared more about the details.

He worried that if they used the "Changsha" name, it would hinder the club's ability to attract fans from other parts of the province in the early stages.

After all, the current fan base isn't huge, so they need to gather as much popularity as possible!

If the Football Association hadn't forbidden it, he would have wanted to use the national name...

Of course, if the club develops to the later stages, the city name prefix might not have much impact.

Everyone likes to win.

As long as you are a strong team, as long as you can keep winning and keep taking home honors, the whole country will be your fans!

Su Yang just wanted to solidify the foundation for Xianglong as much as possible!

Of course, if the team relocates to Changsha as a whole, many costs and expenses will increase.

However, the authorities have corresponding subsidies and venue support.

What Su Yang bears more of is the personnel salary expenses!

Moreover, in the short term, the team and youth training will still stay in Loucheng.

The team might leave eventually, but the youth training teams will likely stay in Loucheng.

After discussing the important tasks with the club's senior management, Su Yang finally asked: "Are there any other questions?"

The former club vice president, Zhou Ying, cautiously raised his hand.

Su Yang smiled and said: "President Zhou, go ahead and ask!"

"Does the player information the boss wants include Chinese Super League players?"

"Of course it does!" Su Yang nodded. "Our goal is to reach the Chinese Super League, so naturally, we have to consider Chinese Super League players. It's not like I can't afford it. As long as they are players who can help the team, we need to buy them!"

"I understand, Boss!"

Zhou Ying had a rough idea now; this new boss was likely not just paying lip service.

He really wanted to reach the Chinese Super League!

"Also, we must give young players a chance!" Su Yang saw the Football Association official nearby. "Your side needs to cooperate as well. Compile all the information on young players in Xiang Province for the club, as well as information on other football talents!"

"Okay, President Su!"

Since Su Yang was willing to give local players more opportunities, the local Football Association was naturally very supportive.

Especially after seeing that Su Yang intended to introduce Chinese Super League players.

Professional football development in Xiang Province was very awkward, and they really wanted to see Xianglong achieve results!

In Su Yang, they truly saw hope!

Finally, Su Yang looked at the club management present and smiled: "Just work hard for me and do things seriously. At the very least, I will definitely pay your salaries on time; I will absolutely not delay them!"

Su Yang's direct subordinates couldn't help but laugh, and the others from the former club felt more relaxed.

Su Yang said seriously: "If you do a good job, I will give everyone bonuses!"

In the evening, Su Yang even invited the club management, leaders of relevant departments, and people from the Football Association to have a meal together!

A leader at the table asked him how confident he was in leading Xianglong to the Chinese Super League.

Su Yang answered with great confidence that it was 100%!

The high-spirited confidence he exuded almost infected everyone at the table!

If an ordinary person said that, the people at the table certainly wouldn't believe it.

But Su Yang had the capital, and the people present happened to believe in capital.

The Guangdong Province team, which once kicked off the era of "gold-dollar football" and was brilliant for a time, is the best example!

In fact, even if there was only a 1% chance of success, Su Yang might still say 80%, 90%, or even 100% success.

The next morning, the local news program of Matong Station reported on the news that Spark Fitness, a subsidiary of Jufan Holdings, had acquired the local Xianglong Football Club.

Broadcast at the same time was an interview where Xie Yuxiang, in front of numerous media outlets, claimed that he would lead Xianglong Football Club to reach China League One in three years, reach the Chinese Super League in five years, and defeat the Baniu football team head-on on the pitch!

Of course, the relevant departments also had to show their faces...

Guo Xueqin was directly ignored because the news was relatively brief, so there was no footage of her.

Originally, Yi Jiangang could have represented Spark Fitness to sign the agreement.

However, Su Yang thought about it and decided to let the CFO, Guo Xueqin, come over to show the importance Jufan Holdings placed on this!

Xianglong appearing on the Matong Station news report was also part of Su Yang's agreement with the Changsha authorities.

They needed the local media to show some support when the team achieved results!

Just as the news was being broadcast, many local fans in Xiang Province were boiling over. They contacted other fan friends via wechat and QQ numbers one after another:

"Did you see it? It's on the news! Jufan Holdings acquired Xianglong!"

"Really? That's great! Xianglong doesn't have to fold!"

"Although I'm not a Xianglong fan, I'm quite happy that it can survive... It's a pity that they don't play matches in Changsha, otherwise I would definitely support them!"

"An investment of 500 million, reaching China League One in three years, reaching the Chinese Super League in five years... I think I smell a familiar scent. Is Xiang Province football finally going to rise?"

"Tears in my eyes, family, I have finally waited for this day. Is our Xiang Province football finally going to rise?!"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly it—defeat the Baniu club. I like this slogan; we have to beat them!"

"..."

In the morning, after Su Yang gave Xie Yuxiang some instructions, he boarded a plane back to Rongcheng.

The club's affairs would be sorted out by Xie Yuxiang and others, and Su Yang trusted their abilities!

Just as Su Yang was playing on his phone in the first-class cabin of the plane, Spark Fitness transferred 5.5 million to the account of Xingrui Technology, effectively completing the transaction.

At the same time, 10 million was transferred to the account of Xianglong Football Club.

In addition to solving the debt problem, the other goal was to pay off the salaries of club employees, players, and coaches in one lump sum.

Su Yang would never owe employees their salaries, no matter who he owed money to!

He also heard the system prompt, and then he put Xianglong Football Club and Meteor Football Club together to share the buff.

Seeing that the total number of employees for Xianglong Football Club and Meteor Football Club was close to one hundred, he wasn't in a hurry.

Before leaving, he had already instructed Xie Yuxiang to continue recruiting for Xianglong Football Club.

Coupled with the fact that Meteor Football Club was about to open in Shancheng, it would be no problem to have the number of full-time football club employees exceed one hundred before the season started!

The day after returning to the company, Meteor Football Club head coach Zhang Yunzhong came to Su Yang's office looking pitiful.

"Boss!"

Before Zhang Yunzhong could speak, Su Yang said directly: "I know your thoughts, but let me think about it!"

"Just give me a chance!"

"I will consider it seriously!" Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "You can go back and make a plan—a Xianglong team construction plan with the goal of reaching China League One, with a budget of 100 million. You can go to investigate Loucheng, and you must hand it to me within twenty days!"

"Thank you, Boss!"

Zhang Yunzhong bowed deeply to Su Yang and then left in a hurry!

Su Yang looked at Zhang Yunzhong's departing back. After thinking for a while, he saw the information on domestic players in his email.

In a country of 1.3 billion people, there were barely over 500,000 registered players and only about 1,500 professional players.

Among them, players from Xiang Province who were currently playing professional matches or had already shown outstanding performance were highlighted by Xie Yuxiang!

Since it was a football club in Xiang Province, Su Yang would certainly be slightly biased towards players from Xiang Province.

Local fans would certainly prefer players with local household registration, and team fans would certainly prefer the direct descendants cultivated by the team!

Of course, this was certainly on the premise of being able to maintain the team's performance!

Putting the information of these 1,500+ professional players, as well as young talented players from various places, into his mind, Su Yang turned his attention to the coaching spots and then slowly carried out the Business Deduction.

In any case, Zhang Yunzhong's loyalty to him was also very high.

He had also contributed a lot to the construction of the Meteor Club.

If possible, Su Yang would certainly give him priority!

China League Two teams could play in the China League Two and the FA Cup.

The FA Cup was directly ignored by Su Yang; his goal was definitely China League One!

The China League Two season usually took place from the end of March to the end of October, which was completely within the scope of Su Yang's Business Deduction!

First, Su Yang took the existing Xianglong players as the foundation and Zhang Yunzhong's team as the head coach team.

Zhang Yunzhong's coaching ability was definitely unquestionable; otherwise, Su Yang wouldn't have recruited him in the first place!

He might not be comparable to the top domestic football coaches, but he was capable of serving as the head coach of a China League One team.

That is to say, with sufficient funds, he had the ability to lead the team to upgrade.

However, because football involved too many variables, Su Yang hoped that Xianglong could upgrade stably!

If possible, he would of course prefer to reach the Chinese Super League in two years, not five!

After determining the team's foundation and the head coach team, Su Yang directly screened out several players with low moral standards from the Xianglong players and directly excluded all players with moral standards below 60 from the player information.

If they were professional players, he would definitely prioritize those with high moral standards.

In his company, employees with high moral standards were relatively dedicated and self-disciplined.

Not to mention how excellent or capable they were, at the very least, when they received a work task, they could do their best!

Even if this type of person wasn't very smart or capable, other employees wouldn't have much objection, and it wouldn't affect everyone's unity too much!

Among players, low moral standards could likely manifest as slackness, laziness, causing trouble, cheating, gambling, alcoholism, malicious injury to teammates, and so on!

If these malignant tumors remained in the team, even good players could be corrupted, and it would also affect the unity within the team!

Commonly known as one rat dropping ruining a whole pot of soup!

Su Yang always believed that football was always a team sport.

Only when everyone was united as one and worked together could they be more likely to win!

Even if they lost, as long as they tried their best, it was still a wonderful match!

No fan wanted to see their own team members strolling on the pitch...

Su Yang also configured the lineup for Zhang Yunzhong according to his coaching style.

About 1 goalkeeper, 3-4 defenders, 3-4 midfielders, and 2 forwards.

This configuration was relatively common in China League Two, ensuring that the team had sufficient strength and flexibility on both the offensive and defensive ends.

Subsequently, Su Yang began to fill the positions and substitute lineup of the Xianglong football team according to the players' habitual positions, ability levels, and moral standards, and then carried out the Business Deduction!

If possible, he would try to prioritize players from Xiang Province, followed by players with low transfer fees who could potentially be bought!

Even though Su Yang used moral standards to screen out a large number of players, the workload of determining the main and substitute lineups and letting Zhang Yunzhong lead them to the championship was still quite large!

However, Su Yang felt it was very interesting, just like playing a game!
