Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Du Yongxiao's mind was spinning very fast. As soon as he heard what Boss Huo said, he knew that this boss was going to drag him into trouble.

To be honest, Du Yongxiao is also very patriotic. Although he knows that Hong Kong football will not be as successful as the national football team in the future, but people who like football are right.

After thinking for a moment, Du Yongxiao smiled and said: "Shall we set up a Football Association? I'm happy to help, but I have a condition."

"What conditions?" Mr. Huo had already expected Du Yongxiao's answer. As far as he knew, Du Yongxiao was a patriotic person and had always been very enthusiastic about sports. Otherwise, he would not have let Mr. Huo invite Du Yongxiao to participate in this event. thing.

"My condition is -" Du Yongxiao pointed at Mr. Huo, "He needs to be the chairman of the Football Association!"

"Uh, what?" Mr. Huo looked at Du Yongxiao in surprise.

Even Young Master Huo and his two younger brothers looked at Du Yongxiao in surprise, suspecting that they had heard wrongly.

At first, Boss Huo thought Du Yongxiao was seeking benefit for himself and wanted to seek this position.

Therefore, Mr. Huo has been mentally prepared to give up the chairmanship of the Football Association to Du Yongxiao. He would rather retreat to the second line and be a deputy.

In fact, for Mr. Huo, no matter whether he is in charge or deputy, as long as he can contribute to Hong Kong sports and develop football, he is willing to dedicate and sacrifice.

Unexpectedly, Du Yongxiao would give up such a position to Young Master Huo.

The chairman of the Football Association not only has real power, but also has enough honor.

If Mr. Huo were as young as Du Yongxiao, he might not be able to resist the temptation.

But Du Yongxiao did it.

For a moment, Mr. Huo was full of emotions, "A hero comes from a boy!"

Young Master Huo was still surprised: "Axiao, how could it be possible? I -"

"You are very good." Du Yongxiao didn't let Young Master Huo say anything more, and looked at the other two young masters of the Huo family: "Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. In my opinion, Young Master Huo's achievements in sports will be unmatched by anyone in the future. , so there is absolutely no problem for him to serve as the Football Association!"

"So A Xiao, what about you, what do you want?" This sentence was said by Mr. Huo.

He had been in the business world for so many years, but he had never seen anyone so selfless. He felt that Du Yongxiao had another purpose.

"You ask me what I want?" Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "Let Hong Kong football stand up, let Chinese sports stand up! In addition -"

Du Yongxiao glanced at Mr. Huo, "Maybe you think sports are losing money, but in my opinion, this is also a business! For example, holding football matches, selling tickets, selling jerseys, selling sneakers, selling dolls, etc. "

Make money from sports?

Mr. Huo and his three sons looked at each other.

In Hong Kong in this era, people like to watch movies and are willing to buy tickets to watch theaters, but few people are willing to buy tickets to watch football matches.

Du Yongxiao seemed to understand their thoughts and said with a smile: "That's because many Hong Kong people don't even have enough to eat now, so how can they bother to watch football? But I believe that with the development of Hong Kong's economy, everyone will have clothes to wear. Everyone has food to eat, and sports, especially football, will be very popular. When the time comes, we can invite the world's most famous teams to compete in Hong Kong——"

Du Yongxiao recalled that in the previous life, Hong Kong had hosted many competitions for foreign teams in Hong Kong, and they had really made a lot of money, especially the naming rights.

But there are also bad times, such as when the world-famous football king and Argentinian star Messi was invited to attend a game in Hong Kong.

Messi came to Hong Kong, China with Miami International to have a commercial friendly match with the Hong Kong Superstars United. The game was packed with people, but the result was that Messi did not appear for even one minute in the entire game.

In fact, in the team lineup released by Inter Miami before the game, Messi did not appear in the starting lineup or on the bench. After the game started, he came belatedly and sat on the bench. I don’t know if it was for satisfaction. The fans wanted him to sit on the sidelines, so he reluctantly sat on the bench with an injury.

Fans may still be imagining that the ball king can come on as a substitute. Even playing for only 10 minutes is considered a sign of respect for the fans. However, the fans are wrong. Messi did not appear on the field until the end of the game.

So after the game ended, the entire stadium was booed.

It can be said that this "Messi incident" is enough to affect the entire Hong Kong Football Association, making the commercialization of Hong Kong football more arduous and long-distance.

Mr. Huo listened carefully to what Du Yongxiao said. He did not have the front and rear vision like Du Yongxiao to know the future development trend of Hong Kong sports, but he also listened with enthusiasm.

"I believe in you, Ah Xiao! I believe that you are good for Hong Kong and good for Hong Kong sports! Although I have no choice but to drag you into the water this time, I have no choice. Who told me to be optimistic about you! But the biggest problem now is the approval of the land ———”

Du Yongxiao was stunned for a moment, "Didn't it get approved last year?"

"Having said that, you also know that I have a very bad relationship with those ghost guys. They will never hand over the land to me easily, so I still need you to personally take action——"

Du Yongxiao fully understood this time that one of the reasons why Mr. Huo got him involved was in terms of funds, and the most important thing was the approved land!

Nowadays, the real estate development in Hong Kong is booming, and every inch of land is of great value.

The land in Hejiaotian approved by the Football Association last year happens to be in the center of local commercial development.

For the British Hong Kong government, this was a real miscalculation. Who would have thought that that piece of land would suddenly turn into a cornucopia?

But they couldn't keep it in their faces and then went back on their word after the approval had been approved, so they hinted to people like the Football Association several times, hoping that they would take the initiative to change the location.

However, the Football Association has finally looked forward to this day, so how can it be willing? In my last life, I also had to put off my work for two or three years before settling on it.

Now Mr. Huo can't wait for a moment. He hopes that Du Yongxiao can help, communicate with Hong Kong and British, and build the FA building as soon as possible.

Du Yongxiao has not resigned yet. After all, he is also the first Chinese chief superintendent in Hong Kong. In addition, he also has many connections within the British Hong Kong government, which is stronger than that of his boss Huo.

Du Yongxiao came over, rubbed his brows helplessly and smiled bitterly at Boss Huo: "Since you said so, Boss, I have no choice but to give it a try. I just have to report to the Hong Kong government about the rickshaws tomorrow, by the way."

Du Yongxiao said it easily, but Boss Huo knew that this matter was as important as gold.

"Ah Xiao, I'm embarrassing you!" Mr. Huo said, getting up and pouring a cup of tea for Du Yongxiao, and handed it to Du Yongxiao in the astonished eyes of his three sons: "Anyway, thank you!"

Who is Mr. Huo?

He was the real black and white emperor in Hong Kong. With such a status, he personally poured tea and water for Du Yongxiao at this moment. Even though Du Yongxiao was calm and composed, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. He took the tea cup and said: "Don't worry, boss, Du will do his best." !”

Drink it all in one gulp.
