Chapter 86 Upgrade
If there is 10% profit, capital is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, capital becomes active; if there is 50% profit, capital takes risks; for 100% profit, capital dares to trample on all human laws; if there is 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime, or even risk being hung...
Marx's "Das Kapital" almost criticized the capitalists so that even the legendary vampires were ashamed of themselves. It is undeniable that capitalists are greedy, but greedy people are not the same as capitalists. ¥f is the same as the legendary vampires, and capitalists are also divided into different levels.
Angel Hill should be considered a rich second generation among capitalists, so naturally, it is not considered high-end in the eyes of others.
However, influenced by his father since childhood, he was still a standard businessman. For him, nothing was not a seller. Although the goods he operated were a little special. Thirteen years ago, in order to promote the approval of the share expansion plan, his father resigned from the position of club chairman and he became the general manager of the club. The following year, when his father died, he got something more practical: the equity of the club became the largest shareholder of the club, but at that time, he smartly chose to continue to hide behind Chairman Cerezzo, because he knew that his position could make him chase more things.
Of course, Xiao Hill could not have no feelings for this club. His father once regarded this club as life, so at his inauguration ceremony, he swore that he would devote everything he had to the club.
How valuable is the capitalist’s oath?
It should be said that Hill once tried very hard to realize his words, which can be seen from the current transfer operations of Atletico Madrid in the past decade. However, the rules of the football world are obviously different from those of the mall. One plus one. There is no doubt that equals two in mathematics, but on the football field, sometimes it is even worse than the simple one.
Of course, at least one place in the football field and the mall is the same, that is, only the result is the result. So, more than ten years later, Xiao Hill does not know if anyone still remembers the bold words he said when he took office, but the decision he will make next will tell everyone a cold answer: the capitalist's oath is not that valuable.
In fact, he almost made this decision three years ago because it was the most glorious time of the club. At that time, his decision could be made both casual and affordable, but in the end he stayed, not because he gave up, but because Cerezzo gave up.
And now, this decision was once again in front of him.
A quote from Oriental, the target of the quote is not a player, but Atletico Madrid's shares.
This is a generous offer.
So he made a choice.
Xiao Hill reached out and pressed his eyebrows, then squinted his eyes and glanced at the office where he had been there for more than ten years. The negotiations had reached an agreement. He came to pack his things today, but after a week, he suddenly realized that there were so few things he had left in this office.
Put some simple documents into his bag, and his eyes looked out the window. From his position, he could clearly see the whole picture of the entire training ground. At this time, the players were conducting a series of training under the leadership of the coach. The pictures were so peaceful. Xiao Hill knew that the color of Atletico Madrid might change some changes after today. The group of young people in front of him were like the butterflies in the Amazon rainforest in South America. They occasionally flapped their wings a few times, and they had no idea what would happen in places they could not see. Perhaps, for them, this club was just a stop for them to realize their ideals, or, it was just a job for them to maintain their lives. As for who was in charge, it didn't matter.
Xiao Hill clamped his leather pants around his waist and walked out of the room. The moment he closed the door, he seemed to see the energetic figure when he first walked into the office, but immediately, as the door ruthlessly closed, he turned around and once again put a signature smile on the corner of his mouth.
The next day, the headlines of "Maca": Atletico Madrid changed the world, and capital from China invested!

The season is over.
The team is on holiday, the coaching staff is on holiday, and most of the staff are on holiday. Except for the two, Lin Sen and Tang Hua, Lin Sen is because he doesn't care whether to have a holiday at all, while Tang Hua is because he needs to prepare for next season.
Upgrading is a happy thing, but it is also a hard thing for the head coach, because now, Tang Hua has to do almost completely the work he did last year and the two summers before, because he once again has to face a brand new league environment.
In the past season, Cambridge United once again became the biggest dark horse in the league. In the second half of the league, almost no team dared to say that they would win when facing Cambridge United. In the media's words, this Cambridge United seemed to suddenly pop out of a crack in the stone.
The media said that it is not only because of Cambridge United's outstanding performance, but also because there are too many newcomers in this Cambridge United team.
In low-level leagues like League One, almost not many teams can maintain their first-team lineup for several consecutive seasons, so there will basically be a few positions changing every season. These changes may be veterans who have been in battle or the hope star of big teams. In short, this is the way for low-level teams to survive. However, Cambridge United was undoubtedly an exception last season.
Although they also loaned several outstanding young players from Manchester City, in the late stages of the league, their own young people were their own, and more than one.
George on the front line is already an older face. This young forward under the age of 20 became one of the most eye-catching stars in the entire League One last season, scoring 25 goals in 46 games. Although he is only ranked third in the scorer list, considering his age, the media has begun to help him create various scandals.
In addition to George, Stam, who beat George to be the best rookie in the League One, has been reported not just for scandals, because the media has photographed scouts from Premier League teams appearing in the Cambridge United stands more than once. People are afraid of becoming famous. Many Cambridge United fans are happy that their team has found the future defensive core, but on the other hand, they are also worried whether Stam can really stay with the team next season.
For fans, the biggest surprise is Francis' appearance, not because of anything else, but because he has something that neither George nor Stam does, that is his fancy skills. Almost every game, Francis will make some technical moves that make fans in the stands applaud, Marseille swing, Cruyff turn, and oxtail... When piercing the crotch has become a regular extraordinary move. For opponents, this is of course an insult, but for Cambridge fans, this is enjoyment. It is precisely because of this advantage that Francis, who has only played well for more than half a season, has surpassed other teammates and became the most popular player among fans last season.
Of course, for Tang Hua, the past season has passed, and it is certainly a job to take stock of the past data, but it is not a good thing to be addicted to the past. He knows that Cambridge United has performed well in the past season. Cambridge United seems to only need to maintain its original state in the new season, but this is just an illusion after all.
If Cambridge United still plays in the First Division next season, maybe Cambridge United really doesn't need much change, but they play in the English Championship next season, which means that Cambridge United's lineup also needs to be "upgraded". In addition to the individual positions of the main lineup, Cambridge United's weak bench depth exposed at the end of last season is also a problem that needs to be solved in a new season.
The good news is that as the stage improves, Tang Hua may be able to get a lot less rejected in the new season, such as on loan of young Manchester City players, because the English Championship stage is already quite attractive to many young people in Premier League teams. The bad news is that Lin Sen has told him before not to have too much hope for the transfer budget.
In a word, Cambridge United is still short of money.
From the fifth league to the B, from the B to the A, and then to the English Championship next season, Cambridge United, which has three consecutive jumps for three years, looks very glorious. On the surface, the club's revenue has indeed increased, but it is accompanied by a series of necessary upgrades to a series of hardware and software. Since there is no time to upgrade these things, they can only be compensated by money.
Therefore, Tang Hua was able to understand the difficulties of the club, but he was still a little disappointed. Watching young people grow up is certainly a pleasant thing, but God is not a fan of Cambridge United. It is impossible to give Cambridge United a few geniuses in training camp every summer. What's more, even geniuses will take time to grow. Next season's Championship is no longer the English League One. For small clubs like Cambridge United, it is not entirely a place for training.
Of course, Tang Hua can also be self-sufficient by selling players, but the problem is that Cambridge United is currently making him unable to sell. The reason is very simple. He doesn't want to sell at the price, because it's just to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall, which is more harmful than good. As for what he wants to sell, it won't be sold at all.
It was in this situation that Tang Hua received a call from Lin Sen.
Lin Sen didn't say much on the phone, but just told Tang Hua one thing, that is, Cambridge United's transfer budget for the new season will be three million.
