Chapter 83: How to get involved

Han Songlin went to Rongcheng with Li Wenjie, so why did he bring Li Wenjie along? It was simple: Han Songlin didn't trust the man.

Right now, Li Wenjie also had no place in the factory.

The second factory was a dedicated production base, regardless of other matters.

In fact, Han Songlin felt that Li Wenjie would be good at sales.

After all, Li Wenjie had done a good job of welcoming and seeing off people before.

However, before arranging for Li Wenjie to do sales, Han Songlin still had to bring him to Chengdu.

The first time Han Songlin came to Chengdu in his previous life was in 2009, when he was studying in Chengdu.

What was Chengdu's impression on Han Songlin at that time?

How could there still be so many shabby, low-rise houses in the provincial capital?

It seemed that the houses in County H were no different.

In the following years, the economy of Chengdu developed rapidly, and high-rise buildings continued to increase.

It was even said, 'The world economy looks at China, the Chinese economy looks at the west, and the western economy looks at Chengdu!'

Han Songlin was very surprised when he first saw Chengdu TV station promoting like this.

Well, these were all things that happened many years later.

This was not the first time Han Songlin had visited Chengdu in the 1990s, so he was not too surprised to see the low-rise houses.

Without any hesitation, Han Songlin went straight to the roadside and found someone holding a sign to show him the way.

Nowadays, if you go to an unfamiliar city, you don't have a mobile phone navigation system, and of course, you don't have a car navigation system either.

So what should you do if you want to quickly get to a place when you come to a big city?

"Driver, do you know how to get to Sichuan Institute of Sports Technology?'

Standing by the roadside, the man holding the sign to show the way was a middle-aged man, not dressed very well.

It should be said that this was considered normal attire for the times.

'Of course I know the way! Thirty yuan for the guide!'

'Okay, get in!'

Han Songlin didn't even bargain, and just told him to get in.

The middle-aged man felt a sense of inadequacy when he saw Han Songlin's prompt agreement.

In fact, why didn't Han Songlin bargain?

Because Han Songlin did feel that the price was okay.

To save time, thirty yuan was a bargain.

With a dedicated guide, it really didn't take much effort to get there.

Once there, Han Songlin gave the guide the money and let him go.

As for how he got back, that was none of Han Songlin's business.

Entering the school was very smooth, and the security guard didn't even stop him when he saw the car.

In those days, people who could afford a car were not ordinary people.

The person driving the van was an individual business owner, and the person driving the sedan was either the boss or a public servant.

Han Songlin asked for directions along the way and easily found Wang Qing's office.

'Dean Wang, Chairman Wu, hello!'

'Hello, Mr. Han, let me introduce you to Director Hao of our Sports Bureau.'

'Hello, Director Hao!'

Hao Guoqiang smiled and shook hands with Han Songlin, saying, 'Hello, Mr. Han, I heard before that you are quite young, but I didn't expect you to be so young.'

'Haha, Director Hao looks like he is only in his early thirties!'

'Haha, Mr Han is joking. I'm already 56 years old, and I'll be retiring in a few years.'

'Oops, I really didn't notice. You must exercise a lot, don't you?' Han Songlin noticed when he shook hands with Hao Guoqiang.

Hao Guoqiang's hands had a very strong feeling.

If someone like this is not born with it, then they must like to exercise.

Combined with his position, it's not hard to guess.

'I like to go running and stuff.'

Wu Di laughed, 'Our Director Hao used to be a professional track and field athlete from Sichuan, and won a medal at the National Games.'

'My respects!'

Hao Guoqiang's face was full of a smile, and he waved his hand, saying, 'A hero doesn't talk about his past achievements, now that I'm old, I can't do it anymore.'

'Now you are still strong in your old age!'

After a while of mutual business flattery, everyone sat down to formally begin discussing the football club.

Han Songlin had also come prepared with some ideas on how to run the club in the future.

'For the first team, I plan to use the current players as the core, and next year we can bring in some foreign players. One is to directly improve the team's fighting power, and the other is to give our local players an opportunity to interact with foreign players.'

'I want to focus on the reserve team and the construction of the various age groups. I will buy a piece of land in Chengdu and build a special football training base.'

'In addition, we will bring in some youth coaches from Europe and send some youth coaches to Europe to study. In this regard, I hope to cooperate with the Football Association.'

Wu Di readily agreed: 'No problem!'

This is a good thing!

'Personally, I hope to train more outstanding football players.'

What is the current training level of football players?

It is at least better than in the future.

Because the current athletes are all training hard.

'The development of football is to meet the cultural and sports needs of the people. If you want football matches to be exciting and enjoyable for the people, then you must have excellent football players. These excellent football players definitely cannot just fall from the sky. No, they can only be trained from an early age, year after year, day after day.'

'Therefore, we must develop youth football, and not just one club, but the whole province must work together. For example, in schools, we can add some football courses to give children who are interested in football more exposure to the sport. We can select children with talent and send them to the youth teams of the clubs to receive more professional training.'

Han Songlin has seen a lot of news in the future and naturally understands why Chinese football is not doing well. To put it bluntly, it is all about money.

Football schools?

They are all about making money, and they are only set up to make big money.

In order to make money, the school's facilities are reduced, for example, the coaches are just casually hired, without considering their teaching ability at all.

Anyway, I just need to have a coach.

'The club does not have enough youth coaching talent. In this regard, I hope the academy can help train more coaching talent.'

'A football team needs a physical fitness coach, a tactical coach, a technical coach, as well as psychological counselling, data analysis, a team doctor, etc. In this regard, I hope to receive support from the Sports Bureau.'

Hearing Han Songlin say this, the three of them looked at each other in surprise; it is really not easy to set up a football club.

'We need to conduct a scientific study of sports. Within the club, we will set up a special research team, and the academy can take the lead in taking charge of this team. After all, the academy is professional when it comes to sports.'

Han Songlin said while paying attention to the expressions of the three men. If you want to do a good job with the team, it's not just about throwing money at it. You also need to get along with everyone.

To put it bluntly, everyone needs to have something to do.
