From The Country Team To The Rich
Chapter 3 Main Purposes

Chapter 3 The Main Objectives

At the invitation of Jurgen Bauer, Zhang Xian visited the office of the sporting director.

Yes, his job is a sports director.

It is also the highest management position of the Meteor Team today.

The office of the director is very clean or empty.

Not much furniture in the office. The Meteor team's home jersey and the team's roughly crafted emblem were hung on an empty wall.

There was a table by the window, and several chairs were placed in front of the office desk, which was considered a meeting place.

Jurgen Bauer kindly introduced Zhang Xian to the team and offered him a cup of coffee.

Zhang Xian had no dissatisfaction with the rough surroundings, he could only say that he was mentally prepared for all of this.

Jurgen Bauer also invited Zhang Xian to visit the host stadium, but Zhang Xian refused.

"Chairman, can we talk about the future of the team now?"

Jurgen Bauer's eyes sparkled, this was the talk he was most looking forward to.

He was looking forward to the idea of what he would get from this 'professional.

Three people were sitting together, Mary was also in the conversation.

Then Zhang Xian began to speak; "First of all, I searched for some information on the Internet, but the information was limited, and I could not even know the schedule of the seventh level league, either, so I can only rely on some makeshift information. And make subjective judgments based on that information."

"Uh huh!"

Jurgen Bauer repeatedly nodded and said, "Continue."

"In my opinion, your commercialization method is too bad. I don't know what the previous director did. But in the field of publicity, you have failed too much. By the way, do we have a press office? ?" ask Xian.

Jurgen Bauer is empty.

Instead, Mary on the side said; “No, we now only have financial modules, scouts (scouts), HR (human resources) and administrative sections for the first team.”

"It looks like we need to add a news agency, right?" Zhang Xian smiled and looked at Mary, and said, "Does Hoffenheim have a media company?"

Mary shook her head and said, "Unfortunately Hoffenheim doesn't have it, but Sinsheim has a small media company."

Zhang Xian said: "We need to contact them."

Mary nodded, then went to her desk and took out a stack of papers and pens, and then sat back down to start writing the essentials needed.

Zhang Xian was very satisfied with what Mary had done.

"How much money will be used at this stage?"

"After deducting the wages to be paid, we still have about 10,000 euros left."

Zhang frowned. Less than 80,000 yuan?. It turns out that the most urgent thing is how to make money!

Zhang Xian continued to ask: "Do we not have any income from sponsorships?"

"There, we have a sponsor from the Haas Meat Federation, 500,000 euros per year, and their condition is the main sponsor , with the Meraka LOGO on the front of our jersey!"

"Too little, adjust it to 1 million euros in the next season."

Mary put down the pen and said, "They won't agree."

Zhang Xian waved his hand; "As long as we can enter the professional league the following season, we are qualified to negotiate terms."

Mary frowned after hearing Zhang Xian's words.

They have been trying to enter a professional league for the last few years, but they have not been successful. Can they come in next year?

As if reading Mary's heart, Zhang Xian said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will enter, but before that, you will have to sign a contract with them. As long as we get into the professional league, they have to pay 1 million euros. It's going to be a win-win situation isn't it?"

Mary stopped talking, but turned to look at Jurgen Bauer.

At this moment, Jurgen Bauer raised his hand excitedly: "In this case, I can make up my mind. As long as we enter the professional league, the Haas Meat Federation will give us 1.5 notches, 2 million euros as sponsors!"

Zhang froze, who gave you this kind of confidence?

Mary smiled and pointed at Jurgen Bauer and said, "It belongs to their family."

Oho!

Zhang Xian suddenly realized that he remembered that Smith had told him that the club's owner's family owned a sausage sales business.

Jurgen Bauer tried to open his eyes wide, to make himself look more convincing.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Zhang Xian said: "Small problems need to be solved slowly, and then we can solve bigger problems."

Zhang Xian turned his head and looked at Jurgen Bauer: "Mr Bauer, what is our goal, or rather your greatest desire?"

Jurgen Bauer did not hesitate at all, he immediately jumped up, then clenched his fists and shouted: "Bundesliga! Meteor team should be in the Bundesliga!"

The scene made the room very quiet, and Zhang Xian looked at Jurgen Bauer faintly.

Mary was holding her forehead, she had a headache.

Because Jurgen Bauer didn't get an answer. He opened his mouth and sat down like a frustrated balloon. He said with a sullen expression: "Are you making fun of me? I know, even if you don't laugh, you're secretly making fun of me in your heart."

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Many people say I am crazy. How can the Meteor Team play in the Bundesliga, this team is not even a professional team."

"They said, I daydreamed, saying that my dreams were as funny as clowns. In fact, we can't even get into level six. We're an amateur team."

"I know, but I just want this team to play in the Bundesliga. My biggest dream is that the Meteor team can be in the Bundesliga, and can fight against strong teams in European competitions!"

"This is the only dream of my life."

Zhang Xian said casually "All dreams deserve respect."

Jurgen Bauer was sad and said "But they're right, dreams are dreams, they can't be realized."

"So, what's our biggest goal?"

Jurgen Bauer looked up suspiciously,

Zhang Xian smiled and said, "I like to talk about goals, not dreams, because goals are attainable. If I just wanted to make fun of you, then I wouldn't be here, would I?"

Jurgen Bauer trembled with excitement, the fat on his cheek trembled, and asked: "So. So, do you agree with that?"

"No, but we can try."

Jurgen Bauer is confused.

I looked, Zhang Xian stood up and said, "This is a long-term plan and goal. Even if we go up one level a year, it will take a full six years, and we need to solve a lot of problems."

“For that, a long-term development plan is needed, which is evaluated, reviewed and continued to formulate a next stage development strategy every two years.”

"After dividing the goal into details, all this becomes easier."

Jurgen Bauer listened to Zhang analyze the matter very seriously, his eyes widened and said, "Continue."

"First of all, starting from the club itself, we need a club that is well-managed and financially sound."

"At this point, the club is not qualified. You know, even if we go into the Bundesliga, we need to improve our finances before we can compete in the Bundesliga."

Jurgen Bauer nodded and said, "Hmm!"

"Secondly, fan issues, our influence is too low now, how many fans do we have? A hundred? Two hundred? How many average people attend the game?"

"A successful club needs a lot of support from fans. It's a complementary process."

"So, in the first two-year plan, we need to solve the fan base problem. We want more people to follow us and be willing to join us."

Jurgen Bauer touched his chin and said: "But where do we find so many fans? Fans in big cities have been split."

"Why go to town."

"Where are we going to look?"

Zhang now turned on his phone, found a map of Baden Chau, and smiled: "Here."

"What?"

Zhang Xian shook his head and said; "Master Bauer, don't you know entering the city to look for fans, it's impossible, and it doesn't suit the state of our team"

"Our situation?" Julian Bauer said blankly.

Zhang Xian smiled and said: "Village! We are a village team, why go to the city to look for fans? This is our base camp"

"Rural has enough resources. In fact, in Baden, except for a few large cities, most of the population is concentrated in the countryside." Zhang Xian asked puzzledly: "This is a huge market. Are you really not tempted? "

Jurgen Bauer gulped unconsciously, apparently he had been bewitched by the pie said by Zhang Xian.
