Chapter 17 2004 Shenzhen "Iau Tiao Champion"

"I really don't have any money. You can play match-fixing with me and get the money back from the dealer." This is what Wang Po, who is now imprisoned in Shenyang, said to the phone many mornings around 2004.On the other end of the phone was Jiang Hong who had played in the National Power Team for two seasons but only got a 1.2 million IOU. "225 yuan for receiving the Vice Secretary of Defense of the United States" and "1,530 yuan for receiving the Lao President"... These two IOUs issued in 1998 in Daying Village, Yiliang County, Yunnan Province made people laugh.Shi Chongming, a villager in Daying Village and an old accountant in the production team, said with a wry smile: "The deputy secretary of defense of the United States must have never visited our village, and the president of Laos did, but that was in the early 1990s. , and left as soon as we came, and it didn’t cost us a penny.” Shi Chongming held a thick stack of white slips in his hand, and these white slips had been rampant in Daying Village for 15 years, until December 2007, when the village group leader who issued these white slips Wang Guangming was arrested, and this muddled account was finally exposed to the sun.

This is the most amazing IOU story in history. The involvement of the Deputy Secretary of Defense of the United States makes the IOU here colorful and adds a lot of joy.Coincidentally, Chinese football has also used IOUs to perform the same black humor. Among them, the funniest thing is that in December 2009, a survey report by the State Council Football Work Research Group turned out to be: arrears of wages have become fake football. The main cause of the proliferation of gambling.The most unbelievable thing is that in the 2004 season, Shenzhen Jianlibao players won the championship in the first year of the Chinese Super League with hundreds of IOUs sent to them by their boss Zhang Hai in the past 8 months.

The civil servants of the State Council were only one step away from saying such stupid things as "Chinese football needs high salaries to support honesty".All politics are based on the indifference of the vast majority of people, but in the investigation report of the State Council, there is almost a pathetic description. "The income of most domestic players is seriously inconsistent with the rumors from the outside world. This contrast surprises us. The players are not only low in income, but also seriously owed wages." In this statement in the investigation report, the word contrast was marked Emphasis on symbols.The civil servants who were completely unfamiliar with the professional player class before and did not like it, after a seemingly informative investigation, thought they had everything under control, so they took the same sense of accomplishment as the authors Chen Guidi and Chun Tao, and listed "playing white bars" as a The source of evil, and then came to this most absurd logic.

Taking "playing IOUs" and arrears of wages as a necessary and sufficient condition for Chinese football's "fake betting on gangsters" is a conclusion that is short and thick enough!According to this logic, migrant workers with IOUs who go to the streets to kill people should be pardoned by the law.It should be said that the vicious proliferation of selfish desires and the chaos of the management system doomed Chinese football in the chaotic period to form an alliance with gambling, and the widespread wage arrears that lasted for several years exacerbated the spread of darkness in a more extreme way.In this process, some people who are well versed in the rules and evil intentions take advantage of the situation, manipulate the club, use the club as their own gambling capital, and make profits from it as a means of making money.There are also some club operators who, when unable to pay the players' salaries, privately told the players that they can make up for their salary losses by "playing match-fixing" under appropriate circumstances, and the clubs will not pursue their illegal actions .

At the same time, a gray industrial chain of "gambling for wages" has also quietly formed.On the one hand, some clubs defaulted on the wages due to the players; on the other hand, while "crying poor", they encouraged the players to make profits through immoral and illegal activities such as match-fixing or betting, which eventually led to the phenomenon of match-fixing and betting in the domestic football league. in flood. "I really don't have any money. You can play match-fixing with me and get the money back from the dealer." This is what Wang Po, who is now imprisoned in Shenyang, said to the phone many mornings around 2004.On the other end of the phone is Jiang Hong, who has played in the National Power Team for two seasons, but only got a 1.2 million IOU.

After learning that Wang Po was arrested, in his "Hutong Bar" located under the old city wall in Xi'an, Jiang Hong squeezed through the smoke, dim lights, and narrow aisles of the bar, climbed up the stairs, and pushed the two people away. Through the small door at the top of the stairs, he came to the open-air balcony, which was his territory. In Xi'an in November, the outdoors are chilly, but he is always willing to stand alone in front of the fence, watching the traffic on the road ahead, and meditating. He always thinks back to the first two years when he just retired, the moment he opened his eyes every morning, he panicked, he was playful before the fight, he had no savings, except for the white note, he could only hold empty fists with both hands.Therefore, he can't help but call his boss Li Zhimin and the club's boss Wang Po to recover the wages owed.Li Zhimin, who started out by making batteries, has been exhausted by football. At first, he was able to deal with him a few words, but later he simply "is not in the service area", and Wang Po will always have only one sentence and one way for him to choose.

If he wants to take this path, he will not be completely kept in the dark before Shaanxi Guoli Club will move to Ningbo. The club will be empty, and he will be the only one in a daze in panic; he will not be abandoned in Xi'an and have no choice. He could only board the lifeboat of Anxinyuan with Carlos; he would not have drank the ecstasy that Wang Po secretly dropped in his wine in the nightclub the day before Guoli played away in Wuhan that year... The "Red Lover" nightclub in Wuhan is already blurred in Jiang Hong's memory. His last impression of it was that Wang Po was sitting on a long black patent leather sofa in a private room, smiling strangely at him. "Boss, you can have some too." Wang Po suddenly bullied him to persuade him when he took out the bag. It was exactly the same as when he was pulling him before a certain game and asking him to do this on the field. The same goes for his rejection.That time, when Wang Po yelled "have another drink" after returning from the bathroom, he couldn't hold on and suddenly became dizzy.

Jiang Hong, who later admitted to taking drugs on his blog, was only self-confessed.With the image of Jesus tattooed on his arm and the "Jesus" ring he bought back in Monte Cristo, Brazil, on his finger six years ago, he has struggled to pay off his debts and quit drug addiction for several years, and his heart has become peaceful.There is only one topic that can make him angry, and that is another episode around that white note, which makes him out of anger. After failing to collect debts, Jiang Hong returned home for a short time. His parents, who were over 70 years old, saw the white note and decided that the son hadn't understood it with reason. When I arrived in Xi'an, I took every possible opportunity to join the National Strength Club, and reasoned from law to humanity.Jiang Hong's mother, Zhao Guiying, was the captain of the National Public Security Women's Basketball Team in the late 1950s, and her father, Jiang Yonglin, was the goalkeeper of the Shanghai Youth Team in 1956. Both of them are in good health and report to the club every day.But in the end, after spending several months of living expenses, he came back to see his son empty-handed.

Jiang Hong said it was the first time he saw the haggard and depressed faces of the two elderly people who had been tortured in Xi'an for a month.At that moment, when he was a child, the quilt was spread on the floor of his 14-square-meter home, and the scene of his father repeatedly practicing rescue actions on it repeatedly recurred in his mind. Jiang Hong's blood surged up, and his hatred for Wang Po suddenly upgrade. On November 24, 2004, the Shenzhen team won the championship.That night, Zheng Zhi and his friends were rinsing their hairy belly in the hot pot restaurant, sweating and crying. Zheng Zhi asked his friend: "Is there any team in the world that won the championship without paying wages for a season?" , probably because of the civil strife in the Nigerian military government that had experienced no wages for 6 months.This is simply incomparable with the Shenzhen club. In this year, the owner Zhang Hai owed the players wages for 8 months in a row. Although he was warned by the Chinese Football Association for relegation, in the end, the total wage arrears was still as high as 30 million yuan.

During that time, Zhu Guanghu and Zhang Jian, a club executive, were like the director and party secretary of a small street factory whose funds could not be turned over due to arrears. In the magnificent Jianlibao Building, they asked their boss for wages.In this immigrant city that has always meant wealth, Shenzhen football has actually been displaced, but since Zhang Hai, it has never gotten rid of the shadow of wage arrears.Until 2008, their general manager still held up the white note in his hand and smiled wryly at his friends. There were a bunch of fragmented numbers written on it: 2,000 yuan for meals to receive referees, 500 yuan for mobile phones, 1,500 yuan for mineral water... …

In August 2002, Zhang Hai, a 28-year-old young man with a face like a full moon, announced his arrival on a luxury cruise ship "Virgin" that cost millions of dollars.Immediately, a series of dizzying capital operations were launched: investing huge sums of money to promote the new product "Fifth Season", acquiring Henan Baofeng Winery, acquiring Shenzhen Football Club, investing in Ping An Insurance and Fujian Industrial Bank equity... The whole Shenzhen is looking up to this mysterious young man, of course, including Shenzhen football.However, they did not expect that this person would bring the most special time to Shenzhen football.Zhang Hai created the most powerful lineup in the history of Shenzhen football with the courage of his own capital predators. Zhu Guanghu's complete rectification, followed by Zheng Zhi, Yang Chen, Xiao Li Ming, etc. When Shenzhen was regarded as a mid-to-lower team, they had already gathered fierce players. After the acquisition of Jianlibao, Zhang Hai has been working hard to shape his image as an "industrialist". However, except for the "fifth season" which was regarded by the industry as "big thunder but little rain" and the "fifth season" which caused serious losses due to hoarding of raw materials Except for the two new products of "Burst Fruit Qi", Jianlibao's main business operation is lackluster. In sharp contrast to this, after Zhang Hai took over, Jianlibao spent as much as 2 billion yuan on acquisition and investment, and the bank loan alone was as high as more than 1 billion yuan.While diversifying investment, Zhang Hai also controls a large number of peripheral companies that have business dealings with Jianlibao, and "turns public into private" a large amount of investment funds in the transfer between these companies through transfer payments and other methods.However, the deterioration of Jianlibao's operating conditions is an irreversible fact. In August of that year, Zhang Hai himself was kicked out of the "throne" of Jianlibao's chairman and president by his partners. More than 30 million. One of the most obvious contradictions is that if the salary is not paid, how can the players have the motivation to win the championship?How did Zhu Guanghu mobilize these disciples?Is it just a master-student relationship?This team is too much like the Liaoning team in 1999. Zhu Guanghu and Zhang Yin, with their godfather-like personal charm, interpreted the great power of family football in a certain period.And Zhu Guanghu obviously has deeper network resources, and he is good at dancing in this circle, which has won a wide range of space for his team. Lao Yang from Shenzhen has now returned to Beijing and started a company hosting servers.Not long after the company opened, the turnover was not smooth, and he basically relied on recovering some of the original arrears to maintain the situation.That money was almost all money owed to him by other people who gambled.Lao Yang himself was one of the "traders" who played for the Shenzhen team at that time. Under normal circumstances, the best way for individual players to seek personal gain is to cooperate with the dealer to influence the result of the game, but a special team like the Shenzhen team Under such circumstances, a united team can completely gain greater control and rely on "eating the dealer" to obtain greater "overall benefits".Of course, at this time they need some professionals like Lao Yang to help them complete the operation. Careful people have analyzed all the results of the Shenzhen team in the 2004 season, and found that they basically scored points on the strong teams, which all depended on their super strength, but they left a lot of points on the weak teams. draw.In the eyes of experts, this kind of team is the best manipulator.Take the third round of the season as an example, when Shenzhen played an away game against Qingdao, the day before the game, the dealer’s handicap was a tie/half goal. The banker) placed a bet on Qingdao.Even if most of the local dealers are not strong in "foodie", it is not a problem at all to bet 20 million like this method of spreading pepper noodles all over the place.Under normal circumstances, the formed local dealers are offline gambling companies, and they are consistent in the handicap.If the 20 million is dropped, the overseas handicap will soon feel the tilt of the betting amount. This is the last thing the dealer wants to see. The so-called dealers are not gamblers who bet on their own. "So, the safest situation is that the funds on both sides are roughly equal, almost forming a situation where gamblers bet against each other.In this case, the handicap will definitely change significantly or even drastically. Like the handicap before the game, it has undergone a completely opposite change, from Shenzhen tie/half ball to Qingdao handicap/half ball, and the water level It is a pitifully low 0.05 (betting 1,000 yuan can only win back 50 yuan), and its purpose is to divert the betting amount to the opposite side.Such a handicap will of course attract a large number of punters who don't know the inside story but are lucky, and invest their funds in Shenzhen, which is more powerful.But no matter what, every sum of money is based on the handicap at the time of betting as a reference standard. As long as Qingdao wins in the end, the 20 million that was spent the day before the game will be considered a win.The final result was that Qingdao won 1-0. According to the handicap at the time, betting on Qingdao would win all. International gambling groups generally divide the leagues of various countries into levels, and the Chinese league is definitely the lowest level, because the variables are the most, the risks are the greatest, and even bookmakers are often afraid to open for the Chinese Super League.And a team like Shenzhen is the most terrifying natural enemy of the dealer. Because of their strength and their unity, it is easier to create deception.Of course, as the saying goes, tricks cannot be played for a long time. If you do it for a long time, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the dealers, and they will not touch the Shenzhen team's game at all.The Shenzhen team draws a lot throughout the year, but only loses two games. This is an experienced performance. In fact, for a team like this that has suffered from wage arrears for a long time, as long as it really does a good job in two or three games, the basic operating expenses for the whole year will also be reduced. it came out.It is worth noting that in this kind of game, it is best that the opponent has a strong requirement to score points, and also can control the players of the team, so as to achieve a win-win result of "you score points, I earn money", otherwise, If you are not careful, the opponent is controlled by the dealer and is also determined to lose, and the play may be completely ruined. Objectively speaking, this represents a more advanced thinking that is more in line with international standards.For example, in England, where gambling is extremely developed, Manchester United rarely loses throughout the year, but it is very likely to have a big upset, such as losing to Sunderland at home, but that one game may be deceiving. Turned over countless people who habitually bet.Another example is the 2003 European Champions Cup. AC Milan led by 3 goals in the first round, lost 4 goals in the second round, and was eliminated from the quarterfinals. This situation, which is absolutely impossible according to common sense, almost made Milan earn back. The cost of a full season.This kind of sudden attack in the industrialized economy often has the maximum explosive power. In the 2005 season, the defending champion only ranked third from the bottom in the league. I wonder if this is a mockery of Huizhong Tianheng taking over the Jianlibao equity for 3 yuan but nothing has changed.Zhu Guanghu left with his seal and took his Shenzhen Football disciples to continue to win in the national team battlefield, but his successor, Chi Shangbin, after 103 days of struggle, threw out the saying that the Shenzhen Football Champion was "false". . On May 19 of that year, when Chi Shangbin stated the inside story to the Football Association about the "Ball Bully Incident", he mentioned something that shocked the two Football Association chairmen: when Huizhong Tianheng took over the Jianlibao Club, the financial department was in the process of auditing the accounts , It was found that the whereabouts of a fund of 600,000 yuan on the club's books was unknown. At that time, Huizhong Tianheng executives questioned the head coach Zhu Guanghu, and Zhu Guanghu replied that the money was given to the referee.When narrating this plot, Chi Shangbin cadenced and tossed, vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.This new situation is said to have shocked the vice-chairmen of the Football Association, Xie Yalong and Nan Yong, but the wavelength of the shock dissipated before it had time to expand.The two Football Association leaders said that this is just a rumor in the rivers and lakes, and it is not easy to evaluate without conclusive evidence.This made Chi Shangbin very sad. When he walked out of the Football Association building, he couldn't help but look back. He believed that there must be some kind of device in this place, so that people here can keep calm when they encounter any problems, and even their body temperature is constant. . Although Chi Shangbin failed to provide more evidence in the end, a coincident example is that in all the matches of the Shenzhen team this year, as many as 7 rounds were played more and less. The opposing player is sent off.Some media questioned Zhu Guanghu about this, and the latter always answered that he didn't know. At that time, Zhu Guanghu was already the head coach of the national team, and the attitude of the Football Association could only be this way. Just like in 2009, after You Ke was arrested on suspicion of commercial bribery and match manipulation, some media immediately thought of him as the national team coach Gao Gao. During the cooperation between Hong Bo and Xiamen, the Football Association's embarrassing attitude is also the same. Because of this trip to Beijing, Chi Shangbin felt that his 103 days in Shenzhen were too tragic. Li Yi and Li Weifeng confronted, joked, ridiculed, and even attacked him, which made him really unstoppable. He was 6 days earlier than Zhu Guanghu. He was born, and he is unwilling to admit that his ability to control the team is inferior to the opponent. "I'm not a deserter, and I won't take the initiative to resign. Although I'm not a hero, I can't watch Chinese football being suppressed by evil forces like this. In "Heroes and Daughters", Wang Cheng held a blasting tube in his hand and said, 'For victory, fire at me!' I want to say: 'For the justice of Chinese football, shoot me!'" Chi Shangbin could almost stand on the side of justice with his Chinese face, but he was blown away by the blasting canister in his hand in the end. At the Jianlibao Base, Li Yi appeared in front of the camera with a smile on his face, his frizzy hair resting on his eyes that were narrowed to pretend to be mysterious, making him appear extremely frivolous. "How do you feel about Chi Shangbin's get out of class?" There was no need to talk politely with Li Yi, and the reporters went straight to the point. "It's dawn," the expression on Li Yi's face instantly became awe-inspiring.Before this, Chi Shangbin accused him of ruining the team's ethos, leading the small players to drink all night long, and he also said a heroic quote: "There is no need for it."This time, "It's dawn" is his original creation, and there is no copyright issue. Just these three words made Chi Shangbin's passionate Chinese character face instantly change.Then Li Yi became the great emperor. In Baidu Encyclopedia, he wrote: This term refers to the Chinese player Li Yi who is very rich in connotation in the Internet language.After this sentence, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi, and Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty all surrendered to him. Compared with them, Chi Shangbin really had no reason to feel wronged. Maybe Chi Shangbin can still remember every day of these 103 days. February 20, 2005: Chi Shangbin officially became the head coach of Jianlibao in the 2005 season, and moved into Room 305 of the Bijiashan base dormitory.Then I had a long conversation with Xie Feng and some players, trying to fully understand the situation of the team, but the most important thing is to reassure people and persuade everyone to accept the new work contract. March 9, 2005: After defeating the Iwata Joy team in the first game of the AFC Champions League, they decided to strengthen the strict management of the team. The players were dissatisfied because they only had half a day of rest after the AFC Champions League game. April 13, 2005: After the Jianlibao team scored 3 consecutive draws in the league, Chi Shangbin started killing again, and Wang Xinxin and Zhang Yonghai were fined to leave the team.According to news from inside the team, at the meeting where the decision was announced, Chi Shangbin not only spoke resolutely, but also looked very excited. April 17, 2005: In the League Lushen battle, because Zhou Ting was replaced, he angrily smashed his jersey in front of tens of thousands of fans, publicly challenging Dachi's authority. April 25, 2005: The Shenzhen team lost 0-1 at home to the Beijing Guoan team in the league. Chi Shangbin was surrounded by the sound of "get out of class" from the Shenzhen fans all the time, and expressed his belief in any honest player , Upright people will not be affected by the rectification. May 4, 2005: In the Shenchuan battle with the league, Chi Shangbin almost blocked all the big players of the Shenzhen Jianlibao team, but his "iron fist measures" brought about a 3-game losing streak.What's even more frightening is that the 0-2 loss to the Sichuan Army actually means that all the bosses of Jianlibao have declared war on Chi Shangbin: as long as Chi Shangbin continues to serve as the head coach, the Shenzhen team will continue to lose.The Shenzhen players drew a clear line with Da Chi, and the big guy spoke and was not allowed to score. May 15, 2005: Shenzhen Jianlibao played against the Liaoning team at home. As the conflict between Chi Shangbin and the players could not be resolved, the Shenzhen team lost Liaoning 1-3 at home as expected Team, the Chinese Super League has lost 5 games in a row, including 3 games in a row at home. May 17, 2005: Chi Shangbin was dismissed as the head coach by Shenzhen Jianlibao Club, becoming the second head coach to be dismissed from the Chinese Super League this season.At the same time, Yang Saixin, acting chairman of Jianlibao Football Club, issued a statement on resigning from the position of acting chairman, resolutely standing with Chi Shangbin. May 18, 2005: Faced with media questions, Li Yi, who hadn't planned to say anything, uttered the classic quote "It's dawn": "Didn't he (Chi Shangbin) once say that the sky is about to dawn?" ? It’s really dawn now! Now that the sky is already dawn, what else is there to say?!” May 19, 2005: Chi Shangbin held a press conference to reveal to the media the current internal turmoil in the Shenzhen team.This matter has attracted great attention from the General Administration of Sports. When Cui Dalin met with Chi Shangbin, he expressed regret for Huizhong Tianheng's decision.Then he also called Xie Yalong and arranged an interview with Xie Yalong, Nan Yong, Chi Shangbin and Yang Saixin. May 20, 2005: Yang Saixin first threw out the concept of "ball dominance", and the Football Association may cancel Li Weifeng's national football qualification.Chi Shangbin, who had just been dismissed by Shenzhen Jianlibao Club, and Yang Saixin, the acting chairman of the club who resigned angrily, went to Beijing to "appeal" and met Cui Dalin, the assistant to the director of the General Administration, and Xie Yalong and Nan Yong, the two giants of the Football Association.Yang Saixin "complained" to several leaders about the bad behavior of the "ball bully" of the Shenzhen club. Such a past event that was about to be dusty was actually another heavyweight exposing incident back then.Chi and Yang repeatedly broke the news through statements to the Football Association, interviews with the media, and blog posts on the Internet. They pointed directly at the Shenzhen team for bribing referees in the process of winning the championship in the first year, and pointed at big names such as Li Weifeng and Li Leilei. Players participate in gambling. A few days later, due to the strong response, the Football Association once again sent a research team headed by Nan Yong to Shenzhen.However, this is destined to be another routine. From Pan Sutong to Li Shufu, to Chi Shangbin and Yang Saixin, Chinese football has never lacked people of various identities who dare to stand up and challenge the rules. But, what time, Can this sky be pierced?
