The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

"Boss Xia, I'm Ma Li. Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"Mr. Ma, please tell me something." Xia Haoyang parked the car on the side of the road before answering the phone.

"Boss Xia, something happened."

"Well, what's the matter?" Xia Haoyang frowned habitually, his expression became serious, and his voice became serious.

Xia Haoyang knew that something difficult must have happened, because President Ma didn't call him every now and then.

A few days before returning to Vancouver, Xia Haoyang went to the Guoan Club and explained everything very clearly. Moreover, the normal operation of the club generally did not need to go through Xia Haoyang.

As if he was thinking about how to choose his words, there was silence in the microphone for a while before he spoke.

"The results of our Guoan youth training have been average in recent years, and we haven't cultivated many talents. There is a gap between the Taishan team, the two teams in Shanghai, and the bankrupt Daxiang team. We are even worse than the youth training teams of some low-level teams. Alas, I feel ashamed when talking about these things."

Xia Haoyang didn't respond and continued listening.

"Since last year, the club has started to vigorously develop youth training after receiving financial investment from President Xia. I have reported to you before that the club has co-organized small leagues for four age groups, namely U33, U8, U9 and U10, with 11 partner organizations. The competition is held every weekend from April to October. Currently, 4 teams have registered for this event, which provides a football exchange platform for more young players in the Yancheng area and a talent selection window for our club."

"Based on last year's invitation to participating teams to watch the Chinese Super League live, this year the club will provide a Workers' Stadium tour for all U11 age groups of all partner institutions, allowing more young players to enter the Workers' Stadium to experience the professional football atmosphere and enhance their affinity and sense of belonging to our Guoan Club. In addition, the club also sends youth training experts to visit partner institutions regularly to obtain more feedback on cooperation."

Hearing this, Xia Haoyang felt a little anxious.

Xia Haoyang was young and was used to being straightforward in his actions and words. He really wanted to tell Ma Li that if you have something to say, just get to the point. These irrelevant words that seemed to be seeking credit were meaningless. But he held back and didn't say it. He just responded with a "hmm" and continued to listen patiently.

But Mali still got the topic back to business.

"In a U11 match not long ago, our youth training coach discovered a very outstanding young player with extremely proficient basic skills. His overall view, awareness, and movements are different from those of ordinary young players. If this child is trained properly, he will definitely be able to play for a professional team, and even become a national team player to develop in Europe."

"So what?" Xia Haoyang asked.

"So our youth training coach went to learn more about the player's situation to see if he could be recruited into our team. However, after some investigation, our youth training coach found out that the young player did not have a 'free agent contract'."

A free agent contract means that after the contract expires, the player is no longer bound by the original club and can freely choose to join any club he is interested in. This status usually means that the player's contract with the original club has been terminated and the two parties no longer have any legal or economic connection.

In the field of professional football, the free transfer mechanism provides players with greater career choice space. When the contract expires, players can negotiate with any team for better treatment and more ideal game opportunities. This mechanism also helps clubs to adjust their lineups more flexibly in the transfer market and introduce players that are suitable for the team's tactical system.

It should be emphasized that if a player does not have a free contract, then his transfer to another club must be approved by the original club. Generally speaking, the two clubs need to pay a certain training fee for the player's transfer, which is commonly known as the transfer fee.

If a club wants to poach a young player who has obviously received professional training, even if he is only in his teens, the current default industry practice is that the original club's consent is required, such as paying a certain training fee (transfer fee) or issuing a "free agent contract."

Xia Haoyang is a football fan himself and has been the chairman of the Beijing Guoan Club for three years. He is well versed in matters such as transfers.

"This is very easy to do. If you really like him, then go to his original club to discuss the transfer fee. If the other club is unwilling to let him go, then forget it. It's not like Messi or Ronaldo have to have him." Xia Haoyang felt that there was nothing to say about this matter.

Ma Li felt a little embarrassed when he heard Xia Haoyang's words. He sighed and said, "It's like this. The young player had a minor injury. After studying at the previous training institution for a year, his leg bone was broken. The two sides were unhappy, so the young player's mother wanted to change the environment, and then came to Yancheng, and was spotted by us."

"Injury is a minor matter. Children in their teens are still developing and their bones can regrow. Take the child to the hospital for a thorough check-up. As long as it does not affect his future football career, you can still buy him and train him. I heard that Messi also had some illness when he was a child, and the Argentine club was unwilling to take the responsibility. It was Barcelona's meticulous care and treatment that eventually Messi became a football legend in Barcelona." Xia Haoyang thought the core of the problem was that the young player had an injury that made the club suspicious.

"Boss Xia, the key issue now is not the child's injury, because they had a falling out with the previous training institution. They are willing to join our club's youth training team, but they don't have a free agent contract. So now his mother has exposed this matter online, accusing the previous training institution of not allowing his child to leave normally."

"What the hell? What is being exposed? This should be a matter of our club communicating with his child's previous training institution about the transfer. Why would his mother expose it? Isn't this just causing more trouble?" Xia Haoyang couldn't understand.

"To put it simply, the child's mother wanted to discuss better joining conditions with our club, but our coach required the other party to issue a free agent contract before offering this condition. Otherwise, if we have to bear the training fee, we will definitely not be able to meet the other party's requirements in terms of salary conditions. Then the other party's mother volunteered to take care of this matter. I didn't expect that what she said was that she could take care of it was exposed online: saying that the other party's training institution did not let his child leave under the banner of free training, and even asked for a sky-high training fee. This matter has fermented on the Internet."

"Is this guy fucking crazy?" Xia Haoyang couldn't help but curse.

Mr. Ma was also in tears: "Mr. Xia, please go to the Internet to check the news first. Today's hot search claims that Ji Hai's youth training institution demanded 18.8 yuan in withdrawal fees."
