Jose Maria didn't know much about Mr. Chen's past, so he asked such a question.

How can car model toys and football clubs be linked?

Why did an entrepreneur who made car model toys become interested in football?

And what benefits can the acquisition of mid- and downstream teams like Espanyol bring to his company?

You should know that before Mr. Chen acquired this club, Espanyol had already owed nearly 200 million euros in debt and often defaulted on wages. Whether players, coaches, or other club staff, they often could not get paid on time.

But what Jose Maria didn't know was that the first step for the Chinese parking space toy king to make a fortune was closely related to football. In the summer of 1996, in the distant UK, the European Cup was in full swing. The England team, who played at home, hoped to repeat the good show 30 years ago at their home court and win the European championship.

But the most impressive thing about that European Cup was indeed the emergence of the Czech Iron Cavalry.

And Bierkhof's Golden Ball Win in the European Cup Finals, which was the first time that the World Series won the championship with a Golden Ball.

It was also this summer that the young Mr. Chen was in a hotel where buyers gathered, and he was gritting his teeth and promoting the first product, electric football toys, one by one, one by one.

On the first night, he made 600 yuan with this toy, and 600 yuan in 1996.

In the summer of 1998, the World Cup was held in the romantic France. Although the Chinese team failed to participate in the World Cup, the song "Dog, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

Chinese fans... No, fans all over the world are going crazy for the French World Cup.

People remember Ronaldo's mysterious sleepwalking in the finals, and also remembered the two flashes of inspiration from Zidane's head, the birth of a new king.

This summer, Mr. Chen no longer needs to knock on the doors of those buyers one by one. The "Singing Football" he developed has entered the Hong Kong Toy Fair.

With the opening of the market, the company is getting bigger and bigger. His company has become the first company in China to be authorized by the Fortune 500 automakers. It can reduce the ratio of real cars and make them into model toys.

It can be said that Mr. Chen has now become the largest toy car model manufacturer in China, and has a great relationship with the two football toys of that year.

So who said that car model toys and football clubs are separated by two worlds?

This is simply a causal relationship.

If there were no football toys from the past, there might not be Mr. Chen’s car model toy company now.

Who said that Mr. Chen has no feelings for football and knows nothing?

Who said he invested in football clubs just to make money?

But why is it the Spanish?

It is said that when Mr. Chen's company acquired the Espanyol Club, someone wrote a post on a famous bragging website in China, saying that Mr. Chen was on a whim and asked casually on this famous bragging website, saying that he was a very rich person, and he was bored when he had too much money and wanted to play something different from ordinary people. He planned to acquire a European football club to play, but he knew nothing about football, so he just knew that playing football was very expensive, so he came to this website to ask about the average annual income of over one million, with a master's degree or above, and most of the website users of the top investment banks in Silicon Valley and the world, and wanted them to give themselves an idea to acquire that club.

Then this boss Chen got the advice of high-quality enthusiastic netizens who earned one million a year, either in the United States or on a business trip to the United States. He was obviously tired from work but didn't know why he had time to spend twenty-four hours a day on this website. Then he waved his money and threw it into the Royal Espanyol Football Club, which was heavily in debt and suppressed by his archenemy Barcelona in the same city, for a hundred years.

Of course this is a rumor, but it is just a practice of high-quality website users to gild their faces. Otherwise, how could they be called a famous bragging website?

After all, it is a magical place where everyone says "Thank you for invitation, I just got off the plane and I'm in the United States"...

The actual situation is that Mr. Chen's business team has also visited many places and has multiple candidate targets, such as considering football clubs such as Milan and Real Sociedad. However, after careful analysis, from the perspective of return on investment and geographical location, they believe that the Royal Espanyol Football Club located in Barcelona is relatively easier, whether from the perspective of investment or the future of other businesses.

So I chose the Spanish.

Many Chinese fans always have a wealthy complex. No matter what they do, they always have to tie the wealthy family, otherwise they will be embarrassed.

But business is business. Although the wealthy family of A Milan has a large number of fans in China and seems to have a great prospect, Mr. Chen's team is very clear that it is a bottomless pit, which looks beautiful, but it is a trap. If your company is really fed up with A Milan, it may turn around and lose all its wealth.

The Spaniards are not rich, their grades are not good, and their history is not brilliant. There is also a radiant death suppression in the same city, and they have no fans in China at all.

But for Mr. Chen, this is actually an excellent stage that allows him to perform freely.

To satisfy the vanity of Chinese fans and to do what they want to do down-to-earth, he chose the latter.

It’s enough to have Gao Zheng do this, but he can do other things that someone must do from the perspective of running a football club.

Mr. Chen sat on the rostrum of Calderon Stadium, and he could feel the constant curious eyes coming towards him.

However, under everyone's gaze, he remained calm and looked calm.

Serezo, the chairman of Atletico Madrid club sitting next to him, seemed not very used to being a Chinese by his side. In order to avoid embarrassment, he took the initiative to chat with Mr. Chen: "I hope today's game will be a wonderful game..."

But after saying this, his mouth twitched, and he felt a little regretful.

The strength of Atletico Madrid and Spain is so different. How wonderful is this game? Is Atletico Madrid's one-sided massacre of Espanyol?

So what he said inevitably makes people feel that he is a satirizing the Spanish Chinese boss.

However, Mr. Chen was not angry, but smiled and said to Serezo: "I also look forward to a wonderful game."

Serezo looked at the Chinese businessman's kind smile and thought to himself that the other party should not be ironic...

He also squeezed out a smile to respond.

Fortunately, the competition is about to begin, so he doesn't have to focus more on how to continue the awkward chat.
