Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 315 Bored People

On December 12th, another transfer news came out of the media.

However, this was not a rumor; it was immediately confirmed by both clubs the moment the news broke.

Real Madrid's Gareth Bale will join Burton Albion on a loan for one and a half years.

The transfer fee is zero, but the club needs to cover half of the other player's salary.

Burton fans, however, did not seem particularly excited when the news broke.

Everyone knows that Bale's condition is worrying.

Is he really a good fit for Burton, who need immediate impact right now?

Fortunately, Will was no longer in town, otherwise he would have definitely come and kicked down Li Yanqing's office door.

“Oh, Lee.”

"I'm starting to feel the strain."

When are you going to come forward and explain this?

In that little bar frequented by football fans, Strange was covering his head, looking at Li Yanqing with a frustrated expression.

The fan club members don't usually have contact with people from the club, so they ask Strange directly any questions they have.

In the last two days, he has clearly been overwhelmed by the noise surrounding Bale's potential signing.

"Why are the fans reacting so strongly?"

"Isn't it?"

"He's at least a local star."

Why is everyone so unanimously against this?

After taking a big gulp of wine, Li Yanqing suddenly asked a question.

He always felt that something was off about this.

Logically, the fans' reaction shouldn't be like this, considering the addition of star players, even if their form has declined somewhat...

"Normal fans certainly don't see any problem with it."

"But you should know, Lee, there are many die-hard fans of the team in the fan club."

"When they consider a problem, they always put themselves in the position of the head coach."

"Completely different from the average fan..."

In fact, Strange himself was like that too.

Although he frequently organizes offline ball games, he has never played a game himself.

He's passionate about analyzing tactics.

Of course, the skill level was also terrible...

“Then it’s not surprising.” Li Yanqing was speechless.

“Tell them I think Bell is fine.”

"Besides, he wasn't the only player they brought in during this transfer window."

"besides......"

"Who else?"

Li Yanqing only remembered that the matter of Deulofeu had not yet been announced when he had almost finished talking.

"Hahaha, you'll find out soon enough."

"There are only two weeks left before the transfer window opens."

"Soon, very soon!"

Li Yanqing chuckled, then skillfully blended into the crowd and slipped away unnoticed.

"Wait! Li!"

"I'm not done yet!"

......

"Ugh...it's a bit cold." Li Yanqing shivered and then tugged at his cotton-padded coat.

This winter is exceptionally cold, and the snow on the ground is much thicker than last year.

I shudder to think what the town would look like if this heavy snow continued until Christmas.

Perhaps Robinson's brewery business will be as good as before?

"Kevin!"

"Why are you still here?"

On a street corner, Li Yanqing, who was strolling around, ran into Kevin again.

Logically, now that Bale's situation is settled, he should continue his scouting work.

"Stop it, I get holidays too!"

"Chris just told me that I have two months of free time every year!"

Kevin felt a little depressed when the topic came up.

Why didn't anyone tell him he could have a holiday?

“Uh…” Li Yanqing was speechless for a moment.

He simply couldn't imagine how much Fairchar disliked his former manager that he couldn't even clearly explain his working hours to him.

"Never mind, let's not talk about that."

"I discovered a big problem when I came back this time."

"Business at the brewery has dropped by at least 20 percent!"

I don't know where Kevin got the specific data from, or whether he calculated it himself.

To be fair, although this guy used to be annoying, he has excellent business acumen.

At least Li Yanqing had no idea how much Robinson's income had decreased.

All I know is that the problem is serious; everyone has gone into hiding and refuses to come back.

"Because of that guy named Hans?"

"I know, I know him!"

"I told you long ago that we should just destroy that guy!"

Kevin sighed. Robinson stopped investing money in the club, which also reduced his own income considerably.

"Little Fleck can't handle those things."

"We need someone with a lot of experience."

"I'm afraid he'll make things worse..."

Shortly after Robinson left, he handed over the CEO position to his son, Ben Fleck, who also ran the brewery and club.

Li Yanqing knew about this.

But Fleck seems to be a fairly composed person, so it shouldn't be as serious as Kevin makes it out to be.

"Well, first of all, it's not good for us to talk about others like this."

"Secondly, explain in detail why he couldn't handle it?"

Li Yanqing wiped the snow off the ground and then sat down next to Kevin.

He was genuinely captivated by what the other person was saying.

"It's very simple."

"Did you see those ads?"

Kevin pointed to a wall where many brand-new beer posters were displayed.

Is there a problem with this?

"The poster is pretty good..."

Li Yanqing didn't quite understand.

“It’s not a problem with the poster,” Kevin shook his head and then sighed.

"Li, you have a real talent for coaching."

"But I knew that from the moment you first joined the team."

"You must be an extreme idealist."

"You're lucky; you really have the ability, so you've secured your position for now."

"But I must say, if someone like you goes into business, you'll lose everything very quickly."

"Think about it, why did Robinson Crusoe hide?"

"To minimize the impact." Li Yanqing was very clear about this basic principle.

Once everyone has forgotten about it, there won't be any problems.

"Yes, things will naturally get better as long as Robinson's name or person is out of their sight."

"We can regain the market share that was taken away through other means."

"But look at what Fleck has done?"

"Publicize it extensively!"

"Place an advertisement..."

"He really thinks he's the boss!"

"The problem could have been solved simply by doing nothing, but he insisted on making things worse."

"These stupid rich kids!"

“Uh…” Li Yanqing felt that Kevin’s words made a lot of sense.

However, he couldn't agree with them because he really didn't understand these details.

He was still quite satisfied that the other party didn't interfere in the team's affairs.

"You don't actually think he doesn't get involved in the team's affairs, do you?"

"We'll see."

"Once he ruins the brewery's business, he'll naturally come and cause trouble for the team!"

"These boring people are always thinking about how to prove themselves!"

"But they simply don't have that ability..."
