I Love Sports, and I Love This City!

Kane and Julie both stared at Lin Qi in shock. Their minds could not imagine that because of just a conflict of opinions, Julie, who had been working in the club since she was nineteen years old, would be kicked out by the new owner after she had served the club for twelve years.

She has put so much effort into this place in the past twelve years. Even now that the club has been downgraded to an amateur club and can only get a monthly salary similar to the per capita salary, she has never thought about leaving here.

Even Julie will think that she will work here for the rest of her life, and then she will let her son become an athlete, receive training here, and represent Sabine City in the world.

There were many things she didn't expect, including being fired for refuting Lin Qi's words.

She still looked at Lin Qi with wide eyes and disbelief, and Lin Qi repeated, "You can leave, madam..."

After such a reminder from Lin Qi, Julie left in despair. Kane hesitated to speak. Looking at Julie's desolate back, he finally couldn't help but stand up, "Sir..."

Lin Qi raised his hand to stop Kane's next plea. These people had been in the club for too long, and the previous operators essentially just wanted to launder money. They delegated power to the team's management, causing everyone in the team to have a skewed perception of power.

There is only one person who talks the talk on this team and that is the owner of the team, everyone else is just serving him and they have to figure that out.

They can object to any order of Lin Qi. As long as they resign, they can do anything they want to do that is not illegal, otherwise Lin Qi will let the lawyer sue them until they can't afford to wear pants.

Even if Julie doesn't stand up, Lin Qi will take action on one person, that is the coach. The coach is not here today, but as far as he knows there is still a coach here.

Because the money laundering incident affected not only the original business enterprise, but also some players, including coaches, were also involved.

A very simple truth is that if players and coaches do not participate in the entire process, it will be difficult to complete the transfer money laundering method perfectly.

This also makes it difficult for the original coach to find a new home. Not every club is willing to accept a coach with professional stains to take charge of his own team, so the coach stays here to rest on his laurels.

If Kane can clearly position himself, then the person who uses it to establish authority will be among the other two people, until Julie takes the initiative to stand up.

After Lin Qi stopped Kane, he changed the topic, "I agree with what you said before. Sports represent the spirit of a city. Sabine City wants to show something new in this sluggish summer. We need a professional men's Rugby team to boost the atmosphere. If I take charge here and restart the professional club, how much will it cost?"

Originally, Kane wanted to talk to Lin Qi about some things about Ms. Julie, but at this moment his heart suddenly jumped, and a thud made him feel briefly dizzy. How could he remember that a lady who had worked together for more than ten years was kicked out by this lovely boss?

After a short calculation, he quoted a price to Lin Qi, "This year we will need about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, and we may increase it more in the future. If we want to introduce stars, the cost may be higher."

He lowered his voice as he spoke. Running a professional Football Club is actually not a simple and easy task. The transfer fee of top Rugby star Jonathan during this year's transfer period has exceeded 3.1 million, creating a history.

Think about it, a star worth 3.1 million cannot cooperate with a group of "Blue Vests". He also needs excellent teammates, at least three to four star-level players, and then some high-level Blue Vests. The price of the lineup alone may exceed tens of millions, and this also includes the annual salary. Not to mention ordinary small businesses, even the smallest chaebol may not be able to play this kind of game.

Lin Qi did not speak. Kane gritted his teeth and added, "I think the first thing we need to do now is to advance to the professional league and complete the process from amateur to professional. Then we can train our own stars. In this way, the cost will be greatly reduced, and maybe we can make some money!"

A smart man, he knows how to get capitalists like Lin Qi to support his idea, that is, let them see profits.

Lin Qi actually does not consider the issue of expenses and income. Many times club managers like Kane have sufficient understanding of the club and the sports industry, but they do not understand some higher-level things.

For example, City Hall will set up a sports fund this year. Who knows what this fund is used for. This fund may not be able to provide Sabine City and Football Club with the cost of bringing in top players, but it can still solve part of the financial pressure.

There are also United Sports Association's share of game broadcasts and professional league bonuses. As long as his club is lined up with some Federal top teams, he can make a lot of money just from the broadcast fees.

Not to mention some cooperation plans between him and the mayor to enhance Sabine City's image and voluntarily jump into the "pit" to save Sabine City's endangered sports. Can the mayor not give some policy support?

Therefore, he is not worried about the cost at all. What he considers is how to support these things as soon as possible and let people see the results, so that he can ask for money and policies.

"Give me a complete development plan for women's Rugby and men's Rugby. According to professional standards, make this plan carefully. It will determine how much I invest here." Lin Qi said, paused here, "Also, does the club have its own training base?"

Kane frowned and shook his head. Even when the big player was here a few years ago, he never considered arranging a professional training base for the club. They were just here to launder money, not to assist sports. It was impossible to invest much here.

Even when players are introduced, they all have their own purposes.

Lin Qi nodded and roughly knew what his next job would be. It not only required money and policies, but also land!

Sometimes whether a businessman can make money or how much money he can make has nothing to do with the type of business he does. It just depends on how courageous he is and whether people can trust him!

Soon, at the request of Lin Qi, Sabine City Professional Football Club issued an announcement to the society after just one noon - posting announcements and publishing information in newspapers.

From now on, the club will be renamed "Interstellar Professional Club". Men's professional Rugby is just one project under this club. In addition, there is also women's professional Rugby, which has entered the preparatory period, as well as baseball, cricket, polo, basketball, tennis... which are still in the preparation period...

In short, anyone who sees this announcement will feel that the club that has been cowardly for three years has suddenly become violent. They can also feel something that they have not felt for a long time through this announcement, something called the spirit of the city.

In the afternoon, under the witness of the City Hall and the mayor, people from Lin Qi and United Sports Association, as well as the club manager, signed a club equity transfer agreement, As the subsequent responsible parties of the club, City Hall and United Sports Association transferred all the equity and rights of the club to Lin Qi for a price of "one dollar", including a debt of approximately more than 30,000 yuan.

During the period when the club was without an owner, United Sports Association was responsible for maintaining the minimum daily expenses of the club. More than 10,000 yuan per year was only used to pay basic staff salaries. Now that the debt is in effect, Lin Qi has to pay the money back to the United Sports Association.

In front of reporters, Lin Qi talked about his feelings for this city, his support for sports, and his love for Rugby and other ball sports.

In the past, he was just an ordinary person who was unable to do anything about these things, but now he has some abilities, so he should shoulder his responsibilities and contribute his own strength to the revitalization of Sabine City!

"Touching!" After a simple press conference, Ferral led Lin Qi out. As he walked, he said with some gloating, "You are in trouble. You fired the club's assistant?"

Lin Qi nodded, "What's wrong?"

Ferral chuckled, "The people from the Sabine City Women's Rights Protection Association are here. They say you discriminate against women and plan to sue you."

This surprised Lin Qi, but he didn't take it to heart. "Give me their phone number. I believe we can resolve the misunderstanding soon."

There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved through communication. Even wars can be solved through negotiation, let alone some trivial problems? According to Lin Qi, this is not a thing at all!
