Guangzhou Football Club's shareholding reform blocked after
Evergrande (name)
The Group has made a firm commitment to ensure the operation of the Guangzhou soccer team and plans to send two youth teams to participate in the new season of the Chinese Super League and the Asian Champions League. Despite the fact that the team's maximum annual salary for the new season is set at 600,000 RMB, the annual operating cost is only 15 million RMB and the team has to be self-financed, the Guangzhou team is still actively engaged in self-help.
To this end, the club has launched an all-merchandising campaign, transforming every player and staff member into a salesman and making full use of the resources the team possesses, including a world-class soccer training base in Panyu, whose 11-a-side natural turf rents for as much as RMB 6,500 per hour.
The Guangzhou team's soccer training base is built along the river and was praised as one of the top training bases in the world by Carnavaro during his tenure. When the base was opened to the media for the first time, access was strictly controlled, with security personnel patrolling every 10 to 20 meters, and filming and casual walking were strictly prohibited, with visitors only allowed to follow designated routes.
Nowadays, in order to survive, the Guangzhou team rents out the entire soccer base to the public. Whether you come to play football, organize team training, or study visits, the base is open to receive, the price is transparent. Even the first team's training ground, locker room and other facilities can be used externally.
At present, the two teams and the coaching team of the Guangzhou team have a total of more than a hundred people in the base for training, in order to solve the financial difficulties as soon as possible. The club not only launched a comprehensive investment activities, but also the use of microblogging, jitterbugging and other platforms to attract investment. In order to accelerate the return of funds, the club also tried to live with goods, inviting famous netizens and the team's main players to jointly promote the club's surrounding fan products.
Currently, China's national teams are in trouble, and most clubs have serious problems with more than half of them owing wages. Except for a few state-owned clubs, other teams are in a worrying business situation. It is certainly regrettable that the once glorious Guangzhou team has fallen into such a situation, but this is also a crucial moment to test the ability of Chinese Super League teams to survive on their own. Guangzhou team to survive at all costs, this spirit is not shameful, but worthy of respect.
