Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 1046 - 1045: The Two Sides of Money

The limping uncle said, "The money I'm referring to has two meanings. The first is to give more children who love football an opportunity to realize their dreams. Although the proportion of children who love football may not be large due to our huge population base, the sheer number is not negligible. However, in our country, professional football is a luxury sport, with only the wealthy able to send their children to football schools, while poor families find it hard to support the costs."

"If we have a football school now that enrolls nationwide and can exempt expensive tuition fees, it will provide more opportunities for people to enter the professional football world, thus better discovering talent."

Lin Fan nodded.

Building a football school and waiving expensive tuition is indeed a good idea, but the problem is, how does the school make money if students don't pay tuition?

Currently, some football schools and training institutions make their money by collecting tuition, and the fees are exorbitant, which essentially comes from the parents' pockets.

Not charging fees is essentially charity; who would want to be that fool?

The one who could afford to be that fool would have to be a super wealthy tycoon.

Lin Fan happens to be a tycoon, the richest man in Yun City!

The limping uncle said, "The second meaning of money is to enable football players to earn money. Football has become highly professionalized worldwide, and the football market is vast. We should also marketize football, so people can earn money, which naturally increases their participation."

Lin Fan nodded again: "This means we need to improve players' treatment."

A generous reward will surely attract brave individuals!

This is an eternal truth.

Lin Fan fully agreed with the limping uncle's analysis. He himself is a world-class football player and has world-class understanding of football. The limping uncle's analysis resonated deeply with Lin Fan, demonstrating the uncle's remarkable insight.

Lin Fan said, "Uncle, what you just said sounds pretty ambitious; it won't be an overnight change. So, what's your opinion on the current Yun City team? Can their performance be improved?"

The limping uncle said, "For the current team, we need to undertake drastic reform, get rid of the underperformers, and recruit more talented players. That's the first step. Then, we need systematic training for these players, which tests the head coach. A world-class head coach and a second-rate one like Li Shanfeng would lead to teams with huge differences!"

Lin Fan smiled: "What's your level, uncle?"

The limping uncle laughed: "Not to boast, even though I haven't played on the field for years. You know I don't play because my foot is crippled and I can't play, but it's a blessing in disguise. It allowed me the energy and time to devote myself to another endeavor - researching world football. My dream is to one day become a coach and lead the Huaxia team to rival the world's strongest teams."

Lin Fan said, "If I put you in charge of the Yun City team, how long will it take for them to deliver results?"

The limping uncle said, "That depends on what results you're looking for."

Lin Fan said, "As far as I know, the Xia Super League is about to start, and the Yun City team is on the verge of relegation. The most crucial thing now is to avoid relegation."

The limping uncle laughed: "Avoiding relegation is kid's stuff; I promise you a top-three finish!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Top three!

The Yun City team is at the bottom of the Super League, almost getting relegated, and yet the limping uncle aims for a top-three finish!

That's quite daring!

The limping uncle laughed: "If Mr. Lin plays personally, it's not just about the top three. Mr. Lin is a heavenly talent. If Mr. Lin plays personally, there would be no problem winning the championship in this Super League."

Lin Fan said, "I won't play personally, but I need a good coach to help the team; I'll assist as needed."

Football field.

Yun City team's players and coaches are waiting for Lin Fan to arrive.

While waiting, they discuss the candidate for the new head coach.

Someone thinks Mr. Lin, who is not short of money, might bring in a foreign coach this time.

"Nowadays, none of the strong domestic teams go without hiring a foreign coach. Whoever has a foreign coach, wins the world. The previous boss was too stingy, didn't hire a foreign coach, and let Li Shanfeng coach us, which never led to good results."

"It's not just about being stingy; maybe he just didn't have the money!"

"Mr. Lin is different. Mr. Lin is the richest man in Yun City; he's probably not short of money!"

"If Mr. Lin is knowledgeable, he should know that foreign coaches have better skills than domestic ones. So, it's about whether Mr. Lin understands or not."

"What are you guys saying? If Mr. Lin doesn't hire a foreign coach, then Director Wang will definitely be the head coach!"

"I also think Director Wang is impressive!"

"I've always had high hopes for Director Wang!"

Some believe Lin Fan will promote someone from the existing coaching staff to head coach, and as the assistant coach, Wang Datie is the best choice.

Wang Datie felt proud; he also believed he had the most opportunity to become head coach.

He didn't think Lin Fan would go for a foreign coach because hiring one requires a lot of money, and the foreign coach would likely struggle to adapt and need a long adaptation period, which Lin Fan wouldn't have time for.

The reason is simple: the Huaxia Football Super League is about to start; there's no time to train a team from scratch, and where can you temporarily find a foreign coach that can adapt quickly to this team?

So the possibility of internal promotion is very high, possibly the only option.

If it's internal promotion, then Wang Datie would be the top candidate.

"The boss is here!"

Someone exclaimed, and they saw Lin Fan walking over with a limping middle-aged uncle.

Seeing the downtrodden middle-aged uncle, Wang Datie was stunned but soon recognized him as Wu Da!

The boss brought Wu Da over; does it mean the boss agreed for Wu Da to be the assistant coach?

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. I'm Lin Fan. I just bought the Yun City Football Club, and I'm your new boss." Lin Fan smiled.

The whole arena applauded.

Warm applause and cheers.

No choice, this is the boss; you have to show respect.

Lin Fan then introduced the limping uncle, "This is Wu Da; someone among you probably knows him?"

Wang Datie said, "Boss, I know him."

The limping uncle recognized Wang Datie and laughed: "You're Wang Datie!"

Wang Datie laughed: "Rare for Brother Da to remember me."

Lin Fan said, "You can catch up later; I'm here to introduce Wu Da as the new head coach."

What?

Everyone was shocked.

Wang Datie, who was smiling, was suddenly frozen.

What nonsense? Lin Fan actually hired this limping downtrodden uncle as the head coach?
