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

"Boss Ma, why are there so many fans blocking the door? What happened?"

Xia Haoyang really didn't know what happened. After his wife got pregnant, all his thoughts were on her. He didn't care much about the company's affairs, and now he doesn't pay much attention to the variety show "Competition 100" on Xinan TV. Although he clocked in and out at the Guoan Club these days, he didn't actually hold any meetings or give any instructions. He just chatted with a few people to stabilize the morale of the club, especially the first-team players.

But it was precisely because of Xia Haoyang's lack of enthusiasm that he didn't even know that there was such a big protest from fans of his own team. In some ways, it was indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of Xia Haoyang, the club's general manager.

But now Ma Li is in an awkward situation. As the club's executive president and the actual operator, the fans have launched such a big protest, repeatedly targeting Xia Haoyang, which is actually due to their dissatisfaction with him as the real executor.

Moreover, President Ma had already discovered the signs of fans' protests yesterday and arranged personnel to communicate with the fans. Unexpectedly, it was ineffective and led to today's large-scale protests. This made him feel a little embarrassed in front of Xia Haoyang. This was a typical case of poor performance.

For Ma Li, who has been working in the bureaucratic system for many years, what he is afraid of is not the fans making trouble and protesting, but these people making trouble in front of their leaders, and in front of leaders who are completely unaware of the matter. This leaves him no chance to solve the problem at all. Now, how should he explain it?

After a year of dealing with him, Ma Li also knew Xia Haoyang's personality. He was the type who was more straightforward and didn't like beating around the bush, so he decided to speak frankly. However, even if he spoke directly, he would start with his own responsibility: "The fans are dissatisfied with the club's league results this season. I'm sorry, President Xia. It's us who failed to manage the team well and let the fans down."

After all, Mr. Ma is an old hand, and the words he used are "we" rather than "just me". Anyway, the law cannot hold everyone responsible. The Chinese people have this kind of wisdom.

"The team played badly, but instead of scolding the coach or a player, you directly accused me by name? Did I make a mistake?"

Xia Haoyang thought about it. When he watched football matches, for example, when AC Milan lost, everyone would call the coach an idiot, or a star player who performed poorly an idiot. Then, because the club's new owner, Red Bird, drove away the manager everyone liked, Maldini, who was a former meritorious player, the fans would also call Red Bird an idiot. When Tianci watched the Chinese national football team, whenever they lost, he would almost always blame the coach alone, and never scold the players.

So Xia Haoyang knew that there must be a reason why hundreds of Guoan fans were collectively shouting "Xia Haoyang, get out."

Since Xia Haoyang asked this, Ma Li couldn't hide it and could only say frankly: "The fans are concerned that after President Xia became the boss of Guoan Club, he didn't spend money to buy superstars, didn't build Guoan into a super team, and didn't win the championship immediately. Because President Xia is the richest man, and didn't spend a lot of money, the team's performance is still not ideal. Everyone is dissatisfied with this gap, so the fans are targeting you."

"Gap? You mean that if the club is poor, everyone might accept the unsatisfactory results this season, just like in previous years, because of financial problems of CITIC Group behind the scenes, it could not take care of the club and could only maintain an investment of 2-3 million yuan each year. The team could not achieve results, but everyone could understand. Now that I, Xia Haoyang, have taken over, even if the investment has become million yuan, the fans are not satisfied because we did not win the championship, because they think that now the club owner is a rich man, he should spend a lot of money on the club and invest in the team?" Xia Haoyang asked very directly.

"Well, well, it's the fans who have this idea. They don't consider how difficult and luxurious it is to invest 5 million yuan in Chinese football nowadays. They don't have a correct concept about the management of the club. They just watch the game and love it, so..." Mr. Ma explained with difficulty and effort.

"I understand. Perhaps this is due to different identities and different perspectives. When we watch football, we also complain about why Red Bird didn't invest and why Maldini was driven away. I can still understand the fans' mentality." Xia Haoyang, who was sitting in the car, figured it out. "But understanding is understanding. I don't like being forced by others like this. Whether to invest in the Guoan Club, how much to invest, whether to buy stars, I'm sorry, it's not up to you fans to decide. I'm the boss, and it all depends on my own mood. I'm sorry, the real world is so cruel. It's not the people who have the final say, but the capital."

Xia Haoyang also has a temper.

President Ma was upset when he heard Xia Haoyang's words, but that was the rule of the game. The fact was that Xia Haoyang had the final say on how much Guoan invested each year. It was just that when he acquired the club, he promised to invest at least 300 million yuan each year, otherwise CITIC Group would not have given the team to him for nothing.

After meeting the minimum investment amount, no one in the club dared to ask how much Xia Haoyang was willing to invest each year, from top to bottom. That's why Ma Li was so overjoyed to receive a one-time investment of 500 million yuan from Xia Haoyang at the beginning of this year.

But the fans don't care about all this. They want to see the club become strong, win games, win championships, and have big-name stars. They don't care how much money is spent or whose money is spent.

This is caused by the different positions of the two sides.

So what should we do in the current situation?

"Since the fans want me to go out for an interview, then I will go out for an interview. I didn't know what was going on just now, but now I know, so I will go meet the fans." The expression on Xia Haoyang's face was not good.

"No, President Xia, this kind of thing cannot be explained in a few words, and the fans are angry. They may not listen to your explanation. On the contrary, I am worried that the conflict between you two will intensify, which will be even more difficult to deal with. It is better for you not to show up." President Ma hurriedly dissuaded him, because he was worried that Xia Haoyang was young and hot-tempered and could not resist the provocation of the fans.

Just now, Xia Haoyang said, "The real world is so cruel. It's not the numbers that have the final say, but capital." If this were said to the fans in person, it would definitely trigger conflicts between the two sides and cause even more dire consequences.

"I have to show up now, because the fans have seen me outside the gate. If I don't show up now, the fans will definitely not disperse. Don't worry, I know what to say to the fans, don't worry." Xia Haoyang kept his eyes on the fans outside the gate, but he did not forget to smile at Ma Li, the executive president of Guoan.
