Vol 5 Chapter 318: Football School Investment Plan

At the end of the live broadcast of the Central TV, Wansheng played an advertisement for the Tagore Group's next big move.
"An international football school will be built in TJ City ... an initial investment of more than 500 million yuan ..." This is a planned investment project of Tagore Wan Group.
Wan Sheng decided to invest in an international football school, for which he discussed with Kevin Tagore for a long time.
Kevin Tagore believes that this project is difficult to make money for the group company. Wansheng convinced Tagore in other ways. "Kevin, you still don't know much about China's investment environment."
"In China, a profitable enterprise or group must do something, one is to pay taxes, and the other is to do charity, donations ... Maybe, paying taxes can do something, as long as enough taxes are paid, No one will find trouble, but face work is a must. "
"Oh?" Kevin Tagore didn't understand.
Wan Sheng explained, "In China," impression "is a very important thing, so charity must be done, for example, if we earn 100 million US dollars every year, then we will take 1/10 to do charity No matter whether it is a foundation donation, support for local education or disaster relief donations, in short, charity is essential. "
"We have so much money for charity, only the relevant departments can know, then we can put this money on elite football schools."
"Indeed, it is difficult to make money by running a football school, but my plan is not only that, we have to build a team on this basis to participate in the Chinese professional league, based on the football school, for the professional team To deliver fresh blood, among them outstanding players, we can also choose to sell to other big clubs in the league, and the return will come when the time comes. "
"But can you be sure that the football school will train talents?" Kevin Tagore asked doubtfully.
He looked at the smile on Wan Sheng's face and immediately understood it.
But Wan Sheng stood before him. The head coach of the Manchester City club in the Premier League. In three or four years, he has trained a lot of big stars, and his vision is almost unparalleled.
There is Wan Sheng's vision. Then the football school will be able to cultivate talents. Maybe the newly formed team will not need to buy players from other teams or leagues. The youth training of the football school can guarantee everything.
Kevin Tagore understood.
This kind of business has a good reputation and is less likely to lose money. Naturally, it can be done. In addition, a large amount of investment seems to be a lot, but in fact, the Tagore Wan Group has transferred 200 million US dollars of idle funds to China. It is also a good idea to come to invest in a football school, not to mention, after coming to China, several investment projects have been very profitable. It is possible that the current Tagore Group, the most indispensable is the project that can make money.
Finally, Kevin Tagore agreed.
The chairman, the CEO, the two giants, and the people who control more than 80% of the group's shares all agreed, and the others did not have any say.
After the decision was finalized, Kevin Tagore quickly selected the location and applied for the investment qualification in TJ City. And in early July and spent more than 600 million yuan, photographed nearly 300 acres of commercial land.
After that, there was Wansheng's advertisement on CCTV this time.

Generally, if there are guests, dare to advertise on the central TV. Must be ‘blocked-killed’.
However, instead of incurring resentment, Wan Sheng's approach was unanimously praised. The timing of the main Wansheng choice is too clever.
China has just lost to Uzbekistan. For the first time in 27 years, the Asian Cup has been eliminated.
This is almost a big earthquake for Chinese football!
It is at this moment. When all fans were disappointed with Chinese football, Wansheng publicized Tagore Wan's plan to build a football school.
If it ’s just a football school, or a huge investment plan, it will naturally attract the attention of all fans in China.
Chinese football lost the ball, Tagore Group was about to build a football school, the former disappointed the fans, the latter let the fans have expectations.
Is such a huge investment in football a hype, or is Tagore really trying to help Chinese football?
"The Tagore Group will be committed to helping Chinese football take off in the next ten years, and will not hesitate to invest heavily in this ..."
Wan Sheng's remarks caused widespread heated discussion among the media and fans.
Soon the media began various analyses.
At the beginning of the analysis, of course, it was to report on the Tagore Group. Last year, most of the investment group ’s assets were still in the US stock market, but this year they changed their strategy and almost lost money to transfer funds from the US stock market The Hong Kong stock market, in which they also invest a large part of their capital in industries and investments in mainland China.
For example, "U-Pants" websites, such as a medical equipment company, and then buying large tracts of land, etc.
These investments indicate that Tagore Group really wants to take root in the real industry in Mainland China.
Throughout the past few years, the development of the Tagore Group can almost be described as a miracle. In a few years, they have changed from a small investment company of several million pounds into a multinational group with assets of more than one billion dollars or more.
How did they develop?
A survey by domestic media quickly concluded that Tagore's investment group has a unique vision. They have made a lot of money in almost every investment, and development can also be described as magical.
So now, Tagore Group wants to invest in an international football school, is it also to make money?
In this regard, the media interviewed many experts and professionals, and some deadly football schools.

Xue Baiwen, a senior researcher with CIC consultants, said in an interview that the current development foundation of Chinese football schools is relatively weak, and there are few football schools with high levels of teaching quality.
At present, the Chinese football school's models mainly include "Luneng model" and "Hengda model". Both models have their own characteristics. "After several years of development, the two football schools can survive the downturn in the football market. Not easy. "
Football school fees are very high, 400,000 tuition for 8 years is not a joke.
Speaking of football schools, it goes back to the 1990s.
At that time, football schools born with the reform of the professionalization of Chinese football blossomed all over the country, but by the end of the last century. A large number of football schools are closed and closed. The fundamental reason is undoubtedly the deterioration of the domestic football environment, but the adherents have achieved results.
Shandong Luneng Football School has been sticking to the club for more than ten years. It has also trained a number of talents available for Chinese football.
Evergrande Football School has begun a new exploration, that is, a large investment, international backup talent training model.
Xue Baiwen said, "The operation of Evergrande Football School pursues large-scale development, whether it is the number of students enrolled or the area occupied by the school. It is the largest in domestic football schools; the operation of Luneng Football School is small and precise. The number of students in the whole school is similar to the number of freshmen in the Evergrande Football School, but the school area is only about one-fourth of that of the Evergrande Football School. However, in comparison, the Luneng Football School has more talents. "
A senior football player said, "Because the Football Association requires the club to have its own echelon, the club has also engaged in some of its own teams, but the more successful ones are Evergrande, Luneng, etc. The football schools of other clubs are currently streaming Mostly in the form. "
Evergrande Football School charges higher. Luneng football school tuition is relatively low, but overall, the current school fees are not low.
"The children can play football, there are fewer families in the city, and more rural families. The high tuition fee makes many parents feel unbearable." A senior football media person said, "Children who enter football schools generally start from Starting at 12 years old, at least 20 years old to play. At a cost of 50,000 yuan per year, 8 years will cost at least 400,000. "
Well, the cost of education is so high. Should football school make a big profit?
An industry source who has been studying football for a long time told the media that although football schools did not disclose specific financial data, in fact these football schools are difficult to make money.
Evergrande Football School Principal Liu Jiangnan said publicly in the media, "(Football School) does not have a profit. So the boss without long-term vision will not be a football school."
Simultaneously. Liu Jiangnan said he was not optimistic about the Tagore Group's investment. "The more they invest, the more they lose. It's really hard to make money."
"There are some football schools and clubs in Europe that make money from the youth training system, but in this regard, our regulations are not perfect. So we have difficulty earning income and can only be treated as a national training first. Which team is China Teams contribute to the country. "
The principal of the football school complained.
After the interview, the media became clear that the current football schools in China are generally at a loss. This is mainly due to the high cost of the football school ’s venue equipment, and the need to hire professional football coaches at high prices, the overall operating costs are relatively large.
Then the question arises, will the Tagore Group's investment be profitable?
The football people interviewed, almost no one is optimistic, they all make such a sound--
"If they really invest so much in building a football school, I estimate that bankruptcy is their only way."
"Perhaps the Tagore Group's funds are enough to support them to maintain a large football school, but they will certainly not make money."
"I don't think this is a way to make money."
"They are doing charity for Chinese football."
"If they really do this, I will definitely admire it, maybe it is Wan Sheng, he is an excellent football coach, maybe he wants to do something for Chinese football?"
"..."
Wan Sheng and Kevin Tagore laughed at the reports.
These media are almost equivalent to helping the Tagore Group advertise for free, and it is a charitable ad. The effectiveness of the ad is very good. Almost all Chinese fans are paying attention to this matter.
How many fans are there in China?
Hundreds of millions dare not say that there must be tens of millions. Think about it, tens of millions of fans know the Tagore Group, know that they have a good investment vision, know that they will build a football school in TJ City, this This kind of invisible attention definitely has great value.
Tagore Wan Group has also been widely praised, because the media has reached a conclusion, "Wan Sheng said that it is true, Tagore Wan Group did this investment for the development of Chinese football, their group company income can also support They run a large international football school. "
Tagore Wan Group received attention and praise at the same time, and the advertisements that Wan Sheng made on the central TV had the best effect.
Soon a reporter interviewed Kevin Tagore. As the CEO of Tagore Group and the second largest shareholder of the group company, Kevin Tagore's interview was still very compelling.
In an interview, Kevin Tagore made a few points--
"We did not invest in football schools for profit. We all know that Wansheng is a football coach. At the same time, he is also a Chinese fan. He hopes that Chinese football can take off. Now that he has the ability, he wants to do it for Chinese football. Something. "
Then he said to himself, "As his best friend, I will fully support his approach and ideas. I have been in China for more than half a year, I like it very much, Chinese people are very kind, I think about my future Also here, to do something for the fans here is also what I hope ~ EbookFREE.me ~ We have reached an agreement on this issue, we have a plan soon and have already begun to take action. "
"In the plan, this large-scale football school is mainly faced with enrollment in China. We have the ability to achieve it, so that potential children can pay the least tuition to do bad professional training."
"I emphasized that we do not hope to make money by operating a football school. In the context of Chinese football, it is very unrealistic."
"In addition, we will also consider forming a team to participate in the Chinese professional league ..."
Hearing Kevin Taylor ’s words, many fans are already looking forward to it.
The large-scale football school must have a complete youth training system, and then cooperate with the formation of a team to compete in the Chinese professional league.
The overall plan is quite complete. Whether it can be realized or not, we will continue to read on.
Soon the media reporter asked the question of "progress". After saying for a long time, there was no progress at all. It was an empty word. Kevin Tagore said with confidence, "We took hundreds of photos in the WQ area of ​​TJ city. Acres of open space, that is the site of the football school. "
The reporter asked, "Why is the site selected?"
"We have developed through investigations. There is a north-south hub with two important highways running through it. It is also the center of the TJ city and the capital. We believe that there will be full development in the next ten years."
"So, while building a football school, the group company is also considering a series of investment plans for the surrounding area."
