The Devil's Christmas and New Year's Day schedule is finally over. Manchester United's next game, Premier League, will have to wait until January 16th. Of course, there will be a game of Football Association Cup in the middle. However, the current Football Association Cup is played by the reserve team + substitutes. They will not participate in the main team that played Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
Therefore, they now have about ten days of vacation, and they should go and do some things of their own.
So, early the next morning, Zhang Kuang flew back to Hong Kong.
He Qigang picked him up at the airport.
After the car started, He Qigang handed over a stack of files, which was as thick as a brick.
"Let's talk about the land first." He Qigang turned to the first page, "Yuen Long South Shap Pat Heung There is a piece of private farmland over there with freehold ownership. Construction can be started by changing the lease to recreational land. The area is large enough and there is room for expansion in the future. Tin Shui Wai North Area 117 also read it. There is no need to change the lease. It can be used for work, but the land is smaller."
Zhang Kuang flipped through it and asked, "Where is Shenzhen's?"
"Guangming New District Gongming and Loucun are areas with flat land, low cost, and easy approval. They are most suitable for cross-border boarding." He Qigang took out another copy, "Shajing Xuegang and Longgang Universiade Center also looked at it, it depends on whether the students want to keep their mainland student status or transfer to Hong Kong status."
Zhang Kuang thought for a while and said, "Then Shenzhen will open one school and Hong Kong will open one. The one at Shenzhen will be from primary school to the third year of junior high school, using the normal mainland learning method. This is to prevent mainland parents and children from losing their mainland student status."
Then, people from the football school select 8 to 10-year-old youngsters from all over the mainland. After comprehensive evaluation, these youngsters may be selected into the Shenzhen football school.
In the early stage, we will train while studying. Through internal selection, if they enter the U-series echelon within the school, we will take them to play overseas games. If they have achieved good results and are willing to transfer to Hong Kong, they will be allowed to join the U-series echelon of Hong Kong, and we will help them connect with overseas clubs.
If you don't want to transfer, you don't have to force it. You can enjoy the same free resources from enrollment to junior high school for three years, and you can find your own home after graduation."
He Qigang: "As far as we know, if you do this, Shenzhen's football school will not be able to get Football Association's registration from the mainland."
Zhang Kuang: "I have no intention of registering with the Football Association in the mainland. Is it possible that if I don't register with the Football Association in the mainland, I won't be allowed to run a school?"
He Qigang: "That's not true. It's just that students cannot participate in the Football Association competitions in the mainland."
Zhang Kuang: "I have no intention of letting the children participate in the Football Association competition in the mainland. We are letting the children participate in the Europe competition."
He Qigang: "If that's the case, then if they can't play, they won't be able to enter the mainland's professional leagues."
Zhang Kuang: "If you can't even play, why should you join the professional league? When the time comes, we will organize a car maintenance class or a professional class that requires hands-on work such as mechanical automation. Those who are willing to learn car maintenance will find a way out."
This point must be explained carefully and thoroughly to parents before they enter school. If they want to think clearly about their children's future, it may not be so smooth. Of course, they can also take the high school entrance examination and rely on their sports skills to advance to higher schools.
If you continue to perform well in high school, you can also enter a university majoring in sports."
He Qigang: "You have thought it through clearly."
Zhang Kuang smiled, "Many football schools in the mainland follow this path. Only one-third of the children in football schools will eventually have the opportunity to pursue a career. The rest will go to study repairs, attend technical schools, become sports students, etc."
He flipped through the information on the land of Yuen Long South again. "Hong Kong will also open one, in a similar way. We not only have to consider the students' careers, but also what to do if they pursue careers. This is the long-term solution."
He Qigang:"Well, let's take a look at all the plans first."
Zhang Kuang: "Don't worry, I'll take my time when I get back to the hotel. Tomorrow I'll inspect the Hong Kong plot, and the day after tomorrow I'll go to Shenzhen to look at the plot. The day after tomorrow we'll have a meeting to discuss the overall framework. Thank you for helping me so much during this time."
He Qigang made an OK gesture, "I'm not helping you for free, I want to invest in this football school."
Zhang Kuang seems to have expected it, but some things still need to be made clear. "But my football school is free and even has to pay students wages. This is a money-losing thing."
He Qigang waved his hand. "Our family is not short of such money, and we can afford to lose money. The main reason is that we want to delve deeper into sports. If we don't cooperate with a big star like you, why should we find someone else?"
Zhang Kuang:"Uncle He agrees?"
He Qigang: "It has nothing to do with the family, it's just my personal participation. Of course, I'm not totally out of ideas. In this way, I will take 49% of the football school and you will take 51%. I will register a brokerage company and Guo Jingjing will manage it. The students will sign the contract voluntarily. You will get 40% and I will get 60%."
Zhang Kuang frowned. "I said, the purpose of setting up this football school is not to tie up the students, let alone represent their brokerage business."
He Qigang: "Zhang Kuang, if these children can really start a career, sooner or later they will sign with a brokerage company. They sign with others, and we sign with them. It all depends on the volition of the children and their parents.
We will definitely adhere to your principles: first, we will not force any child to sign a contract, and we will not use moral kidnapping, resource constraints and other means to force anyone.
Second, children and parents can volunteer after comparing the conditions of our company with those of other companies. If our conditions are more stringent than others, then they don't need to choose us at all.
Third, we don't sign long-term contracts, they only sign contracts every three or five years, and we don't sign any liquidated damages that the children cannot afford in the terms. This will definitely allow them to easily terminate the contract and leave when they feel uncomfortable with the cooperation.
Zhang Kuang, this is a reasonable operation, it does not go against your vision, and it will not have a negative impact on your school philosophy.
Moreover, we will not let your name appear on the list of shareholders of this brokerage company, so that we can avoid public opinion attacking you for telling lies."
Zhang Kuang thought about it for a moment. In fact, he couldn't stop it. It didn't matter whether he bought shares or not.
Zhang Kuang: "Forget it about buying shares, I can't do the kind of thing where my words will be ruined. Although I can hide this matter so that outsiders can't see it, I can't get over my own psychological level.
Let's do this, you open a brokerage company, and at the same time, you must do the three things you mentioned. If you can't do it, I will be the first to jump out and target your people.
I don't want to say anything else, it's just a gentlemen's agreement. You give back no more than 5% of these children's agency income to the football school every year. Do you think that's okay?"
He Qigang frowned. "You really don't want to invest?"
Zhang Kuang: "I have no intention of using these children to make money, and I don't lack the money either."
He Qigang: "Okay, then I guarantee you that 5% of these children's annual agency income will be returned to football. I will write this in every agency contract. You can rest assured about this."
Zhang Kuang smiled, then stretched out his hand and shook hands with He Qigang.
"Thank you very much. On behalf of the football school, I would like to thank you."
In the next two or three days, he conducted repeated inspections at Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and held meetings with everyone to discuss football-related details.
Wu Guohua was also invited by Zhang Kuang to Shenzhen, and after chatting with him for a long time, Zhang Kuang asked him to be the principal of the Shenzhen branch.
Finally, after many days of consideration and discussion, on January 8, Zhang Kuang and He Qigang signed a cooperation agreement and established a football school named: 'Xionghua Football School'.
The school is divided into Xionghua Football School (Shenzhen) Branch and is located in Shenzhen, covering an area of 100 acres, with three 11-a-side football fields, 10 7/5-a-side training fields, and complete accommodation, teaching, and office buildings.
There is another school Xionghua Football School (Hong Kong) Branch, located at Tin Shui Wai North Area 117, which also covers an area of 100 acres and has the same facilities and site planning.
The two schools can only admit one class each year, and each class can enroll 30-35 students. When the whole school is full, the football school can enroll up to 315 students, which is an elite route.
After all, everything is free, and you can get a salary after being selected for the school U-shaped team, and you will get bonuses if you win the game. Just add these expenses to the basic expenses of the school, and hire top foreign teachers. The cost for this year is not low. Even if Zhang'er wants to recruit more people, he can't afford it.
As for the relevant main person in charge of the school, after He Qigang introduced it, Kwok Ka-ming will serve as the general principal. This Kwok Ka-ming is an MBE, a JP, a Hong Kong football star, a top FIFA/Asian Football Confederation coaching lecturer, and an authority on youth training.
In fact, he is only honorary. His main responsibility is to coordinate the relationship between the football school and Football Association around the world, and help the football school coordinate various events to ensure that the students of the football school can always participate in the competition.
The youth training director of Hong Kong branch has a great background. He Qigang has already contacted him and is about to sign an agreement. He was snatched from Dubai Al Wasl.
This person is Barcelona's Albert Benehs. This is the manager of Barcelona La Masia's youth training. He has been in charge of La Masia's youth training for 20 years. He resigned at the end of 2010. He was originally going to Dubai, but was cut off by He Qigang.
And the youth training director of Shenzhen branch has a good background, his name is Ramon Martínez, his name is Real Madrid Castilla's youth training manager has been in charge of Real Madrid's youth training for 16 years, producing Real Madrid local cores such as Guti and Casillas. He is familiar with Real Madrid's stepped talent selection and simultaneous training of physical fitness and technology.
His contract will not expire until June 2011, but it has been determined that he will not renew his contract with Real Madrid. He Qigang has already reached an agreement with him. As soon as the football school here is established, he will immediately sign contracts with these two at the same time.
This makes Zhang Kuang very satisfied. He Qigang's ability to do things is beyond words. He does these things very efficiently. Maybe it is a good thing to cooperate with him.
As for the principal of Hong Kong branch, he is named Chan Ping-on. I don't know Zhang Kuang very well, but his resume is very rich. Recently, he is one of the founders and the school director of the United Kingdom Arsenal Xiang Hong Kong Football Team school.
If He Family hadn't come forward, the other party would have been convinced by Zhang Kuang's ideas.
At the request of Zhang Kuang, after implementing this series of things, he did not hold any press release conference or the like, because he wanted to keep a low profile, at least during the establishment period of the school, and could not be too high-profile, and then someone would get stuck midway.
So, everyone who could get together on the night of the 8th gathered together for a meal and a small banquet and that was it.
On the evening of January 9th, the second round of Guangdong–Hong Kong Cup was held at Hong Kong Stadium. At the invitation of Hong Kong FA, Zhang Kuang went to watch the game.
The message from Zhang Kuang was sent out in advance, and the number of scalper tickets at the stadium gate tripled.
Zhang Kuang wore a black down jacket and a hat and walked in from the VIP aisle in a low-key manner.
But someone in the stands still recognized him.
First there was a commotion, then someone stood up and applauded, and then a wave of applause came towards him from all directions.
Zhang Kuang was a little embarrassed, waved to the stands, and quickly sat down in the second row of the rostrum.
He Qigang smiled and said, "Since you came here, the tickets will be sold out today."
Guangdong Team and Hong Kong Team played fiercely on the field. In the end, Guangdong Team won the game 3 to 2, and the total score of the two rounds was 4 to 3 to win the cup.
When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Kuang walked down the stands and walked into the field.
Players from the two teams were shaking hands and greeting each other, and they were stunned when they saw him approaching.
Zhang Kuang Starting from the goalkeeper Guangdong Team, they shook hands one by one and said "congratulations" in broken Cantonese.
When he walked to Hong Kong Team, he patted the captain on the shoulder. "I'm sorry that I can't fight side by side with you this time. I will definitely do it next time."
The shutters of photographers on the scene were heard.
The next day Hong Kong The front pages of all major newspapers were full of photos.
Zhang Kuang flipped through the newspaper and threw it on the table without taking it seriously.
The next day he flew back to Paris. He had not replenished his Qi and blood packs for several days and could not wait to go back to replenish his blood packs.
As for finding any China female friends, he has no interest in it. He is a disaster. He only harms non-China women.
Moreover, when it comes to controllability, he prefers those with beautiful figures.
After arriving at Paris, there was a big battle. After the battle, he made a good meal. This time he bought a lot of condiments from China, as well as some top-notch canned side dishes, such as chopped chili, tempeh, spicy dried tofu, etc.
After making this meal, tsk tsk, several women each ate many pieces of bread.
Of course, he bought a steamer before because the baguette was too difficult to chew.
He originally learned the unique skill of steaming Western bread from a short video in 2026, but after trying it, he found that the steamed bread was sour and inedible.
The main reason is that the lactic acid and acetic acid produced by fermentation of flour in dry bread cannot evaporate, causing a sour taste. If the bread is dry, this sour taste will not occur. Once the bread is wet, the dry bread will become sour.
Westerners eat this kind of hard dry bread every day and bite half-cooked meat, which leads to dental problems in all Westerners, so dentists are popular in the West.
If you come to the East, you will find that the dental business is not very good. 80% of the people in the East will never go to the dentist once in their lives. The remaining 15% will only have wisdom teeth extracted, cavities, or orthodontics due to accidents. The last 5% will get dental implants.
Because Orientals are accustomed to eating soft and well-cooked food, dental disease is almost non-existent.
Anyway, it is impossible for Zhang Kuang to learn how Westerners eat dry bread and eat half-cooked meat. If anyone dares to tell him that those foods are more nutritious, he will slap him to death.
He once argued with Manchester United's nutritionist that he basically didn't eat at Manchester United's base. He usually went home to eat. If he had to eat at the base at noon, he would make noodles by himself.
So Manchester United's nutritionist couldn't stand his unbalanced diet and argued with him several times. At first Zhang Kuang didn't pay much attention to them, but later when he saw them talking to them every day, he couldn't help but started arguing with them.
What did Zhang Kuang say at that time?
They pointed out six major problems with Chinese food. The first is heavy salt, the second is heavy oil, the third is heavy sugar (white rice, white flour steamed buns, and noodles have a lot of starch and high sugar content), and the fourth is insufficient intake of low-fat protein.
As a result, how did Zhang Kuang refute them?
Let's talk about heavy oil first. It seems like a lot of oil is put in Chinese stir-fry dishes, but in fact it is very little oil. It just allows the oil to coat the ingredients.
But the heavy oil in the West is the fatal dose. If nothing else, the butter on the bread that Westerners eat is enough to fry four or five dishes in China, but they eat it on a piece of bread.
Not only butter, but also cream. A lot of cream is added to many Western dishes, including salads, which are all added with cream. Which amount is not more than the amount of oil in China's stir-fry?
Also, Westerners like to eat deep-fried food, which one has more oil than China vegetables?
As for sugar, China's staple food contains some starch sugar except for flour and rice. There is very little sugar in other staple foods. Only a small amount of sugar is added to some dishes for seasoning. Generally, there is no sugar, except in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
But what kind of Western dishes do not contain sugar? And they all contain lethal amounts of sugar. Especially the drinks that Westerners like to drink are full of sugar, including coffee. But the favorite drinks of China people are boiled water and tea, both of which have no sugar.
Let's talk about the emphasis on salt. In fact, this is the most unscientific. If a person eats too much salt, he will be poisoned. If he is not poisoned, it means that he needs so much salt. Deliberately reducing the so-called salt does not make people healthier, but makes people less healthy.
Finally, what is said about insufficient intake of low-quality protein? This is the most ridiculous thing. China does not eat fish, shrimp, chicken, soy products, eggs, etc. In the past, it was insufficient because of poverty. These foods were not available. It does not mean that China's dishes are not nutritious and healthy. There are no ingredients, how can they be healthy?
But the modern China can't eat all of these, so how can it be that the low-fat protein is not enough? This is nonsense.
Therefore, Zhang Kuang finally came to the conclusion that in fact, China's diet is healthier, with low oil, low sugar, appropriate salt, and rich low-fat protein. China people can eat and drink all kinds of things without getting fat, but Westerners can easily get fat because Western food is heavy in oil and sugar.
Therefore, for the sake of good health, Zhang Kuang rarely eats Western food.
This set of theories directly confused Manchester United's nutritionist, because Zhang Kuang directly used specific data as examples, such as how much oil he would put in noodles or stir-fries, and how much butter Westerners would put in bread. By comparing them, he would know who has more oil.
The same goes for sugar and low-fat protein. You can compare them all.
Finally, after a comparison, I found that Western food is indeed more unhealthy.
Because of his argument with Manchester United's nutritionist, he heard that Manchester United's nutritionist began to study how to make Chinese food.
Of course, this is all off topic.
That's a bit too far.
Zhang Kuang always cooks for himself when he has time, and several women also like his cooking. For a few women who are only used to eating pasta, Zhang Kuang uses a unique trick: steaming steamed buns and steamed buns.
After exercising, eating a delicious meal is so refreshing. When you are full, you can exercise to eliminate food.
After dinner, Zhang Kuang watched TV on the sofa in the room.
The 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or Awards Ceremony was being broadcast live on the screen. He actually already knew the results, but he still watched it.
FIFA also invited him to go there before. After all, he is the latest Golden Boy Award winner and the most popular person at the moment.
He is also on Ligue 1's annual best team list. He is eligible to participate. FIFA wanted to grab a wave of traffic from the Eastern market, but was rejected by Zhang Kuang. It's true. He wanted to return to Hong Kong because he had something to do and had no time to interfere.
In fact, according to the selection criteria, he is also qualified to be shortlisted. After all, the selection period is the annual performance from 2010.1.1 to 2010.12.31.
Even without the results of the national team, his performance this year Zhang Kuang is not enough to be selected for the 23-man roster? How many of these 23 people have information that surpasses him? Not many.
But he was not selected, which shows how much these people discriminated against him. They wanted to eat up his traffic but did not give him a chance to be selected for the big list.
Zhang Kuang just ignores them. He will not go until he enters the top three in some year. Otherwise, he will not go. Even if he is selected for the best team of the year, he will not go.
The last three Ballon d'Or of this year are Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, and Messi won the award.
This result has caused FIFA to be attacked by public opinion. Anyway, more than two-thirds of the fans around the world are dissatisfied. Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhang Kuang, and he does not want to comment on Messi.
Play hard and get more and better information. If he just can't get Ballon d'Or, he has nothing to regret.
After watching the awards ceremony, Zhang Kuang picked up the remote control and pressed mute.
The living room started to get dry, and the sound of waves crashing on the shore could be heard faintly.
