Chapter 16 12 million transactions in the last round of Generation A in late 2003

How these "gray accounts" circulate is almost a mystery, but the total amount of these accounts can be estimated at 12 million yuan.Before November 30th, people from all walks of life, holding a total of 12 million yuan, ran wildly in the north and south of China. On November 30, 2003, at the Shenzhen People's Stadium, after Li Yi and his team defeated Shenhua 4-1 cleanly, the Shenhua players had put on golden championship uniforms and began to celebrate symbolically in the stadium. Wu Jingui held up The trophy, pursing his lips vigorously, concealing the ecstasy in his heart.Beside him, Bian Jun kept avoiding the water bottles and sundries thrown down by the Shenzhen fans in the stands. The chaos escalated with tens of thousands of "parallel importers" shouting in unison. The new champion had to flee back to the lounge at high speed. Limping behind, he almost had a physical conflict with the fans who rushed up.

At the same time, in the 80,000-person stadium in Shanghai, Wang Yun, who scored the last goal for the team, ran to the lounge crying. Under his seat, there were almost thirty of the same cigarette butts in the cut-off Marlboro. Cheng Yaodong left alone, walked past a stand, and someone shouted "Cheng Yaodong, a hero!" Going forward, a dozen fans came up to meet him and gave him a dozen middle fingers.The Tianjin team members hugged and cheered completely ignored this. The cheers of Sun Jianjun and Zhang Shuo mixed together, shrill and piercing. Every hug between the team members became a collision because it was too emotional.

At the Datianwan Stadium in Chongqing, a fan yelled at the reporters in the field through the police: "It's all fake! They are all fucking shameless! The international team is shameless! The Chinese Football Association is even more shameless! This is all Chinese Football Association Well done, let the Shenhua team win the championship, let the international team go to Tianjin, and not let the Lifan team go to the Chinese Super League, isn’t the Football Association slapping itself?” Several policemen rushed up to hold him down, but his voice was still there Teleported in the wind, and finally turned into a howl. "Send off comrades" suddenly sounded over the stadium, covering up all voices, or, there is the truth.

"Shenhua won the championship", "Tianjin is released internationally", "Lifan is not allowed to enter the Chinese Super League", Chongqing fans shouted hysterically, exposing the huge truth of the last round of A-A in late 2003. In that round, Shenzhen played Shenhua at home, Tianjin International played Tianjin at home, and Chongqing played Qingdao at home. Between Tianjin and Chongqing, the direct competitors of the Super League, and Shenzhen and Qingdao, which are on the sidelines but have enough decision-making power, there is a food chain whose last link is match-fixing.

Some people want to win the championship, some want to surpass, some want to lose, some can't help but want to let go, football has never been so chaotic, and A-A has never been so absurd. The confusion of government and business, black and white, and the exchange of interests around this food chain have already begun vigorously before that. People who have been dazzled by desire, staring at each other with red eyes, with ulterior motives, in the name of grandeur, Doing selfish things.Matching it is the funds that relevant parties have consumed or want to consume in order to participate in this game.

If the tax or audit department raided the accounts of several clubs on December 1 of that year, I believe they would find some such accounts, or they had been spent but could not be clearly used, or they had been listed as income but they were not clear. The origin, and even the cash that has been spent on the books but put away in the box.How these "gray accounts" circulate is almost a mystery, but the total amount of these accounts can be estimated at 12 million yuan. Before November 30th, people from all walks of life, holding a total of 12 million yuan, ran wildly in the north and south of China.

During the period from the evening of November 29th to the early morning of November 30th, if the montage method is used, the bosses, coaches, players, bankers, middlemen, officials, businessmen, and brokers in Shenzhen, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Qingdao can be drawn as a whole. This ukiyo-e painting, black and white, has been tensely and mysteriously connected, promised, tested, and betrayed in the past ten hours. That night, a limousine drove up to the entrance of the lobby of one of the team's training bases. There were a lot of RMB and cash in the trunk of the car.Two people got out of the car. One of them had a familiar name and was known for his resourcefulness. The other was not well-known, but he was a relative of the coach of the team who was about to show up for the handover.

They are sending money on behalf of a certain city.In order to win the championship of the last generation of A, the city issued a death order, and took back this historic honor at all costs.The company behind this team is very rich and has a background. It has given away a lot of money before this, and this final battle requires it to be in place.So they sent the most suitable intermediary to deal. The two people who got out of the car happened to be cooperating with a company related to culture at that time. Before coming, they had negotiated clearly with each other and handed over directly in cash.And because the team was short of money, the main players hadn't been paid for a long time, so they agreed without any struggle.It is worth mentioning that the head coach on the other side of the transaction has a lot of ties to this city. It is entirely possible that he will receive money from another team in the same city. That team also wants to win the championship and needs his blocking.The owner of this luxury car has never slowed down.

However, the 2 million yuan turned around due to a small detail, and was finally put into the trunk of the luxury car.Those who were there at the time and those who weren't offered two versions: One is that the head coach has a sense of justice and refuses to play match-fixing.The second is that several main players saw people and money coming as promised, and when they were excited, they yelled: "Brothers, let's share the money!" They were so blatant that he didn't expect it. Being cautious by nature, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly greeted his relatives who came from afar: "Go, take the things away." Withdrawing the hand that had reached out to the box, their head coach is also a teacher and a father, has absolute authority, and is better than them in judging the situation, so no one dares to raise objections.But the two intermediaries who thought it was going well and had already given money to Fang to make a phone call were stunned and didn't know what to do.The two middlemen were finally pushed out by the coach, and behind them, followed by a group of reluctant players.

The second theory may be more credible, because after that, some players who were not on the scene saw their teammates return to the room in frustration and tie themselves on the bed.The resourceful intermediary once privately revealed that things were mainly bad for the main players, but the bad things turned into good things, because it turned out that the coach's prudence saved them money, and the team got what they wanted without buying the ball. of. Interestingly, the 2 million that could only be shipped back intact in the end caused a big problem for that club. It was not sent out, but it was not easy to pay back, so the money was stored in In that box, was brought and carried.After being in the hands of intermediaries in other ways for a long time, the club found a reason similar to winter training fees and field rental fees to return it to the account.

Many years later in Guangzhou, the intermediary thankfully said that this is fate. If there were no shouting from those players and no waiters with good deeds came out to watch, the money would have been given away. When the high-ranking officials in that city were sacked two years later, they probably couldn't tell the truth, and they themselves were involved. In Shanghai, on the eve of the game, Xu Zexian, the boss of the international team, invited all the players to drink coffee on the 88th floor of Jinmao, which represents Shanghai's high-end nightlife, as usual. Make a judgment for the next day's roster.Everyone tacitly pretends to be relaxed, listening to music, chatting, watching the smoky night view of the beach, but everyone is pretending, the unpredictable eyes of Xu Zexian and Wang Guolin made many people lose the courage to face it calmly , Moreover, everyone is speculating whether the teammate who is close at hand is the undercover agent of the other party, or the person sent by the boss to monitor him. People who don't know Xu Zexian or Shanghai Tang can hardly understand the tension and complexity in the boss's heart at this moment.Xu Zexian loves football crazily. As long as he is free, he even watches the second-tier women's football league and youth games. At that time, he was the president of China COSCO Shanghai COSCO Sanlin Real Estate Group. Although he had a big business in Shanghai, he was always excluded in football. .On the big stage of Shanghai, tone is very important, face is very important, he must have done Shenhua.As early as 2002, the Shanghai COSCO team (the predecessor of the international team) he organized beat the Shanghai Shenhua team in the Shanghai Derby. On that day, he got drunk. ideal. Xu Zexian served as a soldier and participated in the Battle of Laoshan. He was an artilleryman. Although he never shot and killed people at close range with a gun, he could knock down everyone with every shot.He is such a heroic figure who often laments in front of Shanghai: I have made so much contribution to Shanghai, why Shanghai people don’t allow my football team. These two Shanghai teams, such as Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, are both big names in Shanghai in name, but secretly they are fighting fiercely.It's not that the Shanghai people don't tolerate Shanghai International, but that Shanghai Shenhua doesn't. In order to win the championship that year, Shanghai Shenhua spent a total of 100 million yuan, and the government paid for it.Lou Shifang of Shanghai Shenhua is backed by the government, so he uttered bold words that he will definitely win the last generation A championship. He has the confidence, not only backed by the government, but also has a very good relationship with the Chinese Football Association. A champion, but the green light was given all the way. An official of the Football Association said clearly: "Let Shanghai win the last A champion, in fact, it is what everyone expects." Xu Zexian was a little annoyed by the accident that happened at Jinmao that day.As soon as the international D3888 Mercedes-Benz bus stopped, a taxi was rear-ended because of rushing off the road. Many team members were startled when the taxi's bumper flew out. "Is this called a moldy head?" Someone muttered.Shen Si immediately corrected: "That's called touching the lottery head!" Xu Zexian couldn't feel a little comforted by these words.When the team returned to the base, Xu Zexian talked with Cheng Yaodong for a long time in the room, discussing who would play the next day, and they also heard some rumors.At this time, the rumors that the Tianjin team for relegation and the Shenhua team for the championship were working as international team members were already rampant. Even Xu Zexian knew that it was more practical to find players directly than to find clubs.So he couldn't go back to his room and sleep peacefully, although every international player said that he would never betray the boss. In fact, Xu Zexian was not the only one who couldn't sleep that night. There were many people moving around in the dark night: a player with the surname A found his best teammate with the surname L in the team, and said that a certain team promised that if the next day's game was released , 3 million will be given, half of which can be paid in cash that night, which is 1.5 million.Teammate L insisted on asking for 3.5 million, and paid all of it that night, because—"If you don't make money at such a critical time, you will have no chance in the future. If you only pay half, and the opponent doesn't fulfill his promise after achieving his goal, we have nothing to do." An hour later, L turned against his teammate A who was doing his job at the beginning: "Why don't we fight the other way around, although the middleman only promised 3 million, but the cash will be delivered tonight." A resolutely refused (because in fact at this time he Already received money from others, but kept it from L), so he found another partner to cooperate with, and L quickly found a new partner. This directly led to two tactical situations in a team in the second day of the game, passive sabotage and desperate attack.The funny thing is that on the eve of that night, Cheng Yaodong was still in the room at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, excited like a primary school student who was about to go on an outing the next day. He thought that the first champion of his career was about to appear, and he even thought about it What to say at the press conference. The city that was as anxious as Shanghai that night was Chongqing, because in the last few rounds of the league, Lifan was not afraid of being ugly, and unswervingly took advantage of the loopholes in the rules of "losing and entering the Super League". Prepare for the final round loss to the Qingdao team.It has become the consensus reached by Lifan Club and the team that it is only possible to enter the Chinese Super League if you lose. In the last battle in Qingdao, the thoughts of Lifan team members were unprecedentedly unified: they will definitely lose!Everyone believes that this kind of loss is fundamentally different from match-fixing: "Shouldn't Chen Zhonghe also choose an opponent for the women's volleyball team at the World Championships? We lose to save ourselves and abide by the rules of the game, which is reasonable and legal." Chongqing fans, who have always regarded the visiting team as the enemy, took the visiting team Qingdao to the hotel with drums and gongs. They have already begun to design the slogan for Sunday, "We will use Chongqing dialect to call Qingdao coach Li Zhangzhu Xiongqi, Yao Xiaxiongqi, and we You have to use Mandarin to call the Qingdao team to score one." Some fans have even written banners for Sunday's game, which read: "Yao Xia, please stab me!" Even the coach of the Chongqing team, Mirossi, said: "As a Coach, I shouldn't lead the team to lose, but the right to live is the first right of human beings, as is human beings, so are clubs and teams." Before the start of the game on November 30th, many people in the 80,000-person stadium were asking each other: "Do you have a Nokia mobile phone? Do you have a Nokia battery?" The reason for asking this question is that Shanghai Radio Station and Oriental Radio Station will use " Shenhua and Shenzhen live broadcast live in the form of "Time-Space Connection", and only the new Nokia mobile phone can listen to the live broadcast of the radio station, and a wonderful scene occurred from this: among the 20,000 viewers, 1/5 of them had their ears plugged. Wearing headphones.In such an afternoon where time and space intersect, the high penetration rate and advanced means of China's telecommunications industry have been vividly confirmed in the football field of the last generation A. In the 6th minute, the news that Li Yi of the Shenzhen team scored a goal against Shanghai Shenhua came from the radio.In the 6th minute, this was a very exciting moment for the international team. Everyone believed that the international team's victory over TEDA was expected, and the championship was as realistic as a fingerprint in the palm of your hand. However, it was Zhang Shuo from Tianjin who scored the first goal in front of 80,000 people that day. It was the 42nd minute. No player could clearly recall the process of that goal, except for the international team goalkeeper Jiang Jin. "I saw two central defenders fell to the ground. I was very isolated. I wanted to save but I couldn't do anything." Losing points in the melee was the only summary of the international players after the game. Zhang Shuo's goal was stuck in the throats of the audience like a fishbone, and the singing over the stadium of 80,000 people suddenly stopped. No one imagined the situation where Tianjin TEDA scored first, and the Shenzhen team's leading goal was not so good important.Xu Zexian took off the gray coat abruptly, Cheng Yaodong pinched the red stopwatch to check the time, Wang Guolin sucked "Marlboro" desperately... "It's okay, nothing will happen." Xu Zexian leaned against the door of the lounge to the reporter afterwards Confidently speaking, he has turned defeat into victory many times in his life.But he should find that his team has two main players with stiff movements and rigid lines, and they have not played at their usual level at all. In the 80th minute, Lu Yan of the Tianjin team scored a goal - that light lob shot drew a vivid arc in the air, like a patient whose heart stopped beating, and the life curve suddenly jumped out of the electrocardiogram.Jiang Jin said to me on the 87th floor of Shanghai Jinmao the night before: "I don't need anything, except for a league championship." But this attack made his last dream as a player go away.Three points after that, Shenzhen Zheng Zhi scored, 4-0.Even when such news came, Xu Zexian's eyes were already lost. Before the game, he even led the singing of "Go! Go! Go! Go!" But he knew very well that the second self-defense match in his life The counterattack ended in failure.Zhang Yifeng, who was the boss of Tianjin TEDA at the time, once used "dead people" to describe the predicament after being tied by Lifan, but now the situation has reversed—Tianjin people have spent a few days and nights getting used to their own death, but Shanghai people have been used to death within a second. I saw a ghost passing by. Wang Yun's goal before the end of the game was almost ignored by people. Pate scored a goal for Shenhua, which can somewhat restore Shenhua's dignity. 1 to 4 is ugly, but the championship is still in hand.Shanghai Shenhua ranked first, and Shanghai International ranked second. This pattern lasted for many weeks in the A-A standings in 2003. Unfortunately, in the last two rounds, the points of 55 and 54 did not change. Let me add the footage of Chongqing Datianwan Stadium: The real bad news finally came in the 80th minute, as if the death reprieve was implemented as scheduled, which made all Chongqing fans give up, but the players on the field seemed to have not received the news, and they were absent-minded Playing a game purely to pass the time.But the fan band in the stands suddenly played the music "Send off Comrades", which was originally given to the visiting team by Chongqing fans. The game finally ended, 1 to 3, and the loss was hearty.Mirosi blushed and walked back to the bench from the coach's bench.Without hearing the cheers of the fans, the team members saw the reaction in the audience and knew the final choice of fate without asking.No one shed tears, and even the urge to turn red eyes was lost.Some young girls in the stands couldn't bear such a blow, and several girls cried sadly.More fans were still shouting "Xiongqi" to the Lifan players who left the field.Fu Bin and Liu Xin walked over and threw the gloves and jerseys into the stands. The last generation of A is not only a loss to win the championship, but also a loser to win the championship. Rumors began that night: the Tianjin team, desperate to relegation, actually managed some members of the Shanghai International team, so they defeated Shanghai International, which was aiming to win the championship; there were also rumors that Shanghai International The team also spent a lot of effort to let Shenzhen block Shenhua; there are also rumors that Chongqing Lifan reached a tacit agreement with a northern team in the previous few rounds in order to avoid relegation. Useless work. During that time, Lou Shifang, the general manager of Shanghai Shenhua, who was also the director of the former Shanghai Grand Theatre, often said very literaryly, "The past is not like smoke." In fact, only he is the one who really knows the full truth.All his performances, all metaphors, all deliberate and unintentional sensationalism, just like Yu Qiuyu in the later period.Facing the catastrophe that is taking place in Chinese football, he once even used a large section of the "Bible" to explain it, and climbed the Fragrant Mountain in the fog to relieve his chest. "When I accidentally wrote 'Jin-Dukou' in Tianjin's away game, it became the motto of the last generation of A-A. At that time, the draw with Tianjin, a few people would have thought that Tianjin TEDA would finally determine the ownership of the championship. How many people expected that Tianjin would really become the "ferry" for Shenhua to ascend to the sky." In Lou Shifang's diary on November 30th, he was infinitely moved and grateful, and only he knew the mystery of "Tianjin-ferry" . In addition, there are still fragmented details exposed. For example, Tianjin's "privileged" international match-fixing, which was the most popular news on the night of the game, was later disclosed by many media: Tianjin had a match with Shanghai International Club before the game. Reached an agreement to release water to Tianjin according to the competition situation and get rid of Lifan!This news is said to have been disclosed by the Shanghai fan "Five Spice Beans" to the Chongqing fan "Big Ball" on the evening of November 30th.According to "Big Ball", "Five Spice Beans" and him, and even many other Chongqing fans, have had friendship for many years and have a sense of justice. "Spiced Bean" said that if there is such a need, he can stand up and testify, and said that this is what the No. 2 official of the International Club told him. At the same time, another Lifan player complained to the media: "Actually, several of our team members got the news yesterday that the Tianjin team was full of confidence. But I didn't expect that in order to make this scene more realistic, they let Shenzhen beat Shenhua and cooperate with the international stage to play a good show that Tianjin team is not for the hope of winning the championship. Alas, let's forget that we were done by others, and finally Got teased." The term "Nei Ding" was once associated with Beijing Guoan in 2009. Regrettably, since it was officially quoted in the Chinese Professional Football League in 2003, there is no accident every time it appears. "Definitely."The Macau handicap also proves the mystery.The battle between Shenhua and Shenzhen is the only A-A match that started this round of the Aocai.In the first handicap, the visiting team Shenhua had a handicap, with a discount of 0.825, which means that Shenhua can only win by two goals. Obviously, this handicap is too big, and it does not match the strength of the two sides.A member of the Shenhua club was surprised after hearing the opening of the game from Aocai: "Really? Macau has opened again?" But after hearing the handicap, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Shenhua didn't lose. , but this handicap is very strange, enough for them to think about it." Shenhua team is playing away, but it is about the championship, and they will go all out. It is understandable to be optimistic about Shenhua's victory. It is not unreasonable for the Aocai to open like this.And once the Shenzhen team fights for Shenhua, the result will be hard to say.Therefore, the attitude of lottery players towards the Shenzhen team will directly affect the flow of funds.After the handicap was opened, there was not much change, but the discount fluctuated up and down.In the Aocai opening games for Shenhua this season, Shenhua won more than lost, and most of them won the game. Such a handicap is undoubtedly a good sign for them. This is the beginning of the "association relationship", and at this time, You Ke and Wang Po are both accumulating strength. For match-fixing and black whistle gambling, we had countless opportunities. In 1978, Chinese sports handed over the ball at the Asian Games; in 1994, Chinese football fought back against bribery; in 1995, the great urban development under the economic reform created a noble "defense of Chengdu"-these three progressives are actually related to The handicap has nothing to do with it, it is a matter of favor and politics, but they have destroyed the last line of defense in the Chinese football world from the perspective of values. The trial of Chen Yiming in 1998 and the Yushen Xuan case in 1999, Chinese football began to involve a huge amount of money, but it did not attract the attention of relevant departments. When the "11 to 2" that shocked the world, the Gong Jianping case and the Chinese national football team When the World Cup happened together, few people would think that it was a metaphor, and everyone forgot the shame amidst the glory.When the politician Yuan Weimin did nothing about that case, China's match-fixing is bound to develop in an unscrupulous direction, because even if Yuan Weimin and the Chinese Football Association want to catch it now, there is nothing they can do. Behind these clubs is the government's direct support, regardless of the Sports Bureau It is still the Football Association, which cannot shake the authority of the local government at all. This is the origin of the last A12 million. The danger from gambling companies is actually not as great as from underground bookmakers, because at this time You Ke and Wang Po are acting. Although they are not famous, they have been manipulating the status of various clubs. All kinds of competitions, they are familiar with the unspoken rules of Chinese officialdom and stadiums. At this point in the story, we did not narrate the whereabouts of Wang Po and You Ke too much, but they are making the best preparations for the next round of trading.When state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, and governments are blatantly creating all kinds of match-fixing in the name of cities or enterprises, they have discovered the power of handicap even more deeply.Between the gambling company and the government, the game is cautiously playing side-by-side, but the energy is about to explode.In fact, at this time, Wang Po's national power in Shaanxi was overwhelmed, and a series of incidents such as house arrest, "5 to 1", and forged evidence had been created. When the well-known "power rent-seeking" is reflected on the football field, it will threaten all walks of life because the project itself impacts every level of society with unparalleled film and television effects.At this time, player Q was tied up and thrown into the lake; player L was going to be hunted down by the club, but his elder brother was rising with a powerful attitude to become the big dealer in Qingdao, and no one dared to touch him; player W, the former The boss, lamenting to the other boss Q, stop playing, the old shark has to sink to the bottom. At this time, Chinese football has no chance, and it cannot turn back.Just this year, everyone loves to say a line from "Infernal Affairs": If you come out to mess around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.
