Chapter 6 The Debate of Choice

The smug Jin Shang came to the door of his father's room and was about to knock on the door when he heard a burst of vague complaints coming from inside. It seemed that Lao Jin was talking to someone on the phone, and his tone also revealed anxiety and impatience.

Soon, after hanging up the phone, Jin Shi dialed a number again, this time with a slightly flattering tone.

Presuming it wouldn't be over for a while, Jin Shang made himself a cup of tea, sat on the sofa in the living room, crossed his legs, and waited contentedly.

About ten minutes later, after finishing his work, his father opened the door and walked out, and saw Jin Shang face to face.

"Finished?"

"Uh, did you hear that?"

"No, but I can guess who the other person will be."

Jin Shang winked, indicating that he had something to say,

"If you're not busy, let's take a look first."

Jin Shi came over and sat down. While looking at the plan in his hand carefully, he said in a complicated tone:

"Just saying hello once in a while."

"knew."

Family affairs are difficult! Especially scandals among the elders, or even...scandals.

The soap opera specially prepared for housewives in the theater at 8:30 p.m. is not as bloody as the real experiences of the seniors of the Jin family.

Do you really think that your father Jin Shi changed his surname from Huang to Jin?

Zhuge Liang left Qishan on the sixth day, Jiang Boyue made nine expeditions to the Central Plains, and Lu Fengxian was a slave of the three surnames.

How many surnames did my father Jinshi change in the past forty years or so?

The stories that happened during this period are enough to fill the script of an annual hit drama.

…

Ten minutes later, Jin Shi read the plan in his hand twice before gently putting it down.

"You put all this effort just for this... website?"

"Of course, if we don't step into the forefront of this era, many of my ideas will be castles in the air."

"One million, just throwing it in like this, feels a bit much..."

"There are very few of them anymore. Last year, a computer cost tens of thousands. This year, the price has dropped significantly, and you can buy it for only six to seven thousand. In addition, the five 'fans' homes' service points within the area have been renovated and arranged, and manpower has been hired.

, training employees also requires investment; the above are fixed expenses, connecting to the Internet, and setting up a local area network. I have to find out how much investment there is."

As for building a website, it’s difficult for those who don’t know how to do it, but it’s not difficult for those who know how to do it. If you find the right person, it can be done with 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. On the contrary, subsequent maintenance requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which tests the level of technicians.

"I probably understand."

After asking for some details again, Jin Shi very elegantly signaled his son to wait, and then made a phone call.

"Hey, Section Chief Zhang, it's me, Lao Jin, who I met at the dinner last week..."

"Yes, yes, I am the owner of the football club. What you said at the time, smashing the goods in your hands, are you still here?"

"One hundred units, I want them all! We are all friends, please give us a preferential price..."

"Okay, okay, the day after tomorrow, I will take someone to inspect the goods. If there are no problems, the deal will be completed."

…

After a phone call that made Jin Shang feel magical, a business deal was concluded.

Looking at his son's shocked face, Jin Shi seemed to feel a little bit shortchanged and said unsatisfied:

"Five thousand and five thousand, it can't be any lower. I'll go to the telecommunications bureau tomorrow to check on the situation. There aren't many contacts there. I need to find someone to clear things up and ask for help."

"so cheap?"

"This is not a business matter. From now on, I will read more and think more."

As he spoke, Lao Jin sighed:

"Originally, I wanted to follow your wishes and invest one million in the middle of the year to buy good players and work hard to upgrade. But in the end, I basically spent it here."

"Why did you make such a sudden decision?"

Jin Shang was a little confused. His father was not such an impulsive person and could not easily throw away money because of Jin Shang's instigation.

"I just heard reliable insider information. The expansion of the Jiazi and Jiachou leagues has increased from twelve teams to fourteen teams, which affects the Jiayin. It is very likely that six teams will be upgraded this year. Clubs with ideas can now

Then you can be ready..."

"Half of them have to be upgraded? This is going to change the world, why is it so sudden?"

"If it wasn't sudden, it would have been out for a long time. I think it will need to be expanded again in two years."

"Sixteen teams are just right, but eighteen is a bit too much."

Jin Shang echoed and said,

"I think the domestic infrastructure construction has probably reached a critical point. Things that couldn't be done before are now possible."

The country has a vast territory. It takes half a day to fly from south to north, and from east to west. The longitude and latitude span is huge, so the schedule is naturally difficult to arrange.

For example, warm winds are blowing frequently in the south, while it is still freezing and snowy in the north; it has just fallen into the night in the far west, while it is already late at night in the far east.

This is completely different from those small countries where you can drive multiple times a day between any two places by bus.

If residents’ living standards do not improve, they will have no money to spend in pursuit of spiritual and cultural life; there are too few flights, and after one season, the money for air tickets and hotel stays can bring down the team, so how can we still play?

Ten years ago, only Koshien was in the national league, and the following were divisional matches. Now the third level is the national league. This shows that club owners have money to invest, fans have money to spend, and local companies are willing to sponsor. This is the expansion of the top league.

The power of scale.

If you play a few more rounds in the league, you can earn a little more up and down, so why not?

Jin Shi waved his hands carelessly:

"What you said makes sense, but it has nothing to do with us. Now I am considering whether to invest more in buying good players and working hard to upgrade."

One million is not a small amount. The transfer fees for major players in top leagues are mostly concentrated between 300,000 and 500,000. One million can compete for the annual transfer bidding king.

In Jinshi's Beijing Northern United Football Club, the average basic monthly salary of the main players is more than 3,000. With full bonuses, the annual income should be over 50,000. In the same level league, it is considered to be above the middle level.

In comparison, the average monthly salary in China is about 500, and in Beijing it is a little higher, just over 1,000.

Thinking about the current situation, Jin Shang remained silent. He wanted to encourage his father to increase his bet, but he was afraid that the upgrade would fail at the end of the year and be in vain.

"Ashang, you are my son, how could I not know that you are holding a fire in your heart? Your heart is big, big!"

"Aren't you working hard to maintain your career to prepare your children and grandchildren for the future?"

"If you want to do something, you must be a human being first! The children who work hard every day in the youth training camp are not chips, but hope; you need to be loyal to your friends; you must not treat your subordinates badly. Although our club is average in strength, it is very popular.

Do you know why?"

"It's true that we can't keep up with the times and are no match for those reckless heroes, but we have warmth, family, and human touch. Those are precious assets that money can't buy."

"I hope you will be successful in the future, but I even want to brag to everyone about how great my son is, and everyone who hears it will give them a thumbs up, just like I did seven years ago when I introduced my genius son to tens of thousands of family members at the stadium.

proud."

"How long has it been since you... went to the stadium to watch a game?"

Jin Shang was speechless. As Jin Shi finished speaking, a ball of golden light emerged out of thin air and hit Jin Shang's chest head-on. With the help of Jin Shang's broom, a huge black ball was squeezed out of Jin Shang's body.

The sphere takes its place and merges into the body.

"Money worship, utilitarianism, elitism!"

At the moment of contact, Jin Shang understood the meaning of this black ball that was not simple at first sight.

Those distracting thoughts that are intertwined with each other and do not distinguish between each other deeply portray Jin Shang's inner thoughts of "becoming a master".

Whether you are rich, powerful or influential, to put it bluntly, don’t you want to prove that you are superior to others and then enjoy a good life?

The reality is that more and more people will have such ideas in the future.

"What's wrong?"

It was a rare opportunity to give his son an ideological education class. Jin Shi, who was speaking eloquently, saw Jin Shang's expression was wrong and couldn't help but ask.

"It seems that except for the time of awakening, it is not easy for ordinary people to see."

"Did the golden broom work? Tell me quickly..."

With a thought in his mind, Jin Shang controlled the golden broom to refine the black ball, but found that he could not do it and could only dissolve most of it. After erasing many extreme thoughts, he extracted a large amount of golden energy and instilled it into Jin Shang's body.

The black ball has shrunk a lot and its color has become lighter, like a gray-white rolling cloud, returning to the inside of the body and sinking into the depths of the mind.

"Generally speaking, the golden broom is quite useful. I tried to believe what you said, but I found that some of the original views are still very stubborn."

"What does this mean?"
