"It seems that the outside world never knew about the relationship between you and the stadium before, did you deliberately hide it?"
The reporter pulled the question back."
Not really."
Wang Ai pondered: "This matter belongs to my off-field life, and it is relatively far away.As a player, people care about my games, training, and then they care about my daily life, and as for my investment activities, people don't have much interest in themselves.Before '09, I would occasionally look at their work reports, but I really didn't have time to go there in person, so I could only read them.And after 09 years, I don't care about the big development.In fact, the goal of 10,000 yuan was not set by me, but was calculated by the team based on my future income, the overall maintenance cost of the stadium and other factors. ”"Don't you care about spending so much money?
The total investment is tens of billions, right?
”"Why should I care?"
Wang Ai smiled and asked: "I handed over this matter to someone who is completely credible, and there is a strict audit system." ”"I mean, shouldn't you care about the progress of the project or something with all this money?"
Wang Ai shook his head: "My principle is not to lose money, invest in the country, and do good deeds."
As for how much it goes, it doesn't matter if it's big or small, just let the meat rot in the pot. ”"And when did you know you had 10,000 stadiums?""
Strictly speaking, after that chapter came out.""
Did you find out by looking at other people's statistics?""
Yes."
Wang Ai was very calm, and his eyes were very clear: "Maybe it was presented in their work reports before, but I don't have time to look at them carefully."
If you look at my game statistics, there are almost 100 official competitions a year, and in the case of one game in three days, you have to train for a while the day before, you have to train for recovery the day after, and you have daily training for the day in between.I have a little time outside of this that I can never finish my business activities, I don't have time, and I don't have to. ”"When was the last time you had a clear idea of how many courses you had?""
During the World Cup in South Africa."
Wang Ai nodded: "It was four years ago, when we changed the city every time we played, of course, we also changed the game venue and training venue, and once again when I accompanied the coaching staff to inspect the training ground, the senior director talked to me about this aspect, saying that it depends on how other people's training grounds are, and then casually asked me how your civilian stadium is doing."
At that time, my assistant replied, it seems that there are more than 6,000, right?
Anyway, my impression is stuck on this number. ”"You've been saying it's an investment, but as far as we know, it's led by your philanthropic fund, the King Foundation?""
Yes."
Wang Ai explained: "Every year, the charity fund will allocate a part of the money to directly charity, such as donations and materials, but the remaining part will be invested normally to ensure the survival of the fund itself.Because the Wang Fund is a non-public fund, it does not raise donations from the public, and it all depends on me alone.And I'm not engaged in any lifelong career, and I won't have money in a few years, so the self-hematopoietic task of the fund is more urgent. ”"So since there is no fee and maintenance costs, is this investment a failure from the perspective of the fund's investment purpose itself?"
Wang Ai smiled when he heard this: "How can you say this."
If you consider it from a rigorous investment perspective, it is certainly not a very ideal project to engage in a civilian stadium, and it stands to reason that such a large scale of funds to go to the stock market or something, the rate of return may be higher.But on the one hand, I have this pursuit, and this fund is very personal to me, so the team must consider me more.On the other hand, although the investment in the stadium itself is not profitable, the land is appreciated, that is, our cash flow may be tight, but the total assets are still growing. ”"Of course, this kind of irrational behavior from an investment perspective can be established, and it is beneficial to the development of the country, precisely because our country is constantly developing, and the speed of development is not slow, so our very conservative investment can absorb the daily management costs with the expansion of total assets, and even growth."
Speaking of this, Wang Ai smiled: "I'm not a financier, I'm a person who has a little achievement on the court, and a little wayward, so I won't calculate too much, probably just don't lose."
It doesn't matter if I lose it, I have enough money to spend and I don't have a loan. ”"Now that the news has come out, fans across the country have begun to take the initiative to call the stadium Wang Ai Stadium, what do you think about this?
And some fans want to write you a thank you letter together?
”Wang Ai took a deep breath and looked helpless: "Forget it, it's good for everyone to enjoy the exercise with the spirit, don't worry about me."
Really, I feel that my name and image appear a little too often, far more than my contribution, which makes me very uneasy.In fact, I have not built a single brick of these stadiums, and the fact that I can appear so many and always provide services to everyone is inseparable from the support and support of local governments and sports departments over the years.The leading team of this matter is only a dozen people, and it is impossible to ensure the quality of the stadium for ten years, so in the final analysis, it belongs to one of the public services provided by local governments for our people.Our fans everywhere have also done a lot of work, such as maintaining order on the pitch and protecting the quality of the turf, so it also belongs to the service that our people themselves provide. ”"You can't attribute this to investors."
Wang Ai looked at the reporters very seriously: "I just started up, and in fact, in these 10,000 public services that continue to be provided, my factor is already very small, and the longer it goes, the smaller it gets." ”"Then if you don't want the name Wang Ai Stadium, what do you think is the right name?""
Uh, people."
Wang Ai was rarely speechless, and after thinking for a while, he said with a little embarrassment: "Just call it the court, right?"
Or a football field?
How many pitches?
Or is it named after the place where the stadium is located?
For example, the Eastern Suburbs Stadium or something.I believe that by now, the local people have become accustomed to the title, so just let it be. ”"Isn't it a civilian stadium?""
It's not.This civilian stadium is our positioning of the nature of the stadium, not the naming of the stadium.We didn't have a name inside us, just the serial number, which was the Arabic numeral on the doorpost. ”"So what do you think about other stars investing in stadiums named after individuals?""
I'm supportive."
Wang Ai said very seriously: "For example, Lao Ma and Ma Mingyu did it, he is not like me who doesn't care about anything after spending money, he has been teaching children in the stadium."
It is that he has always been a part or even a core part of the service provided by the stadium.Therefore, it is appropriate to call Ma Mingyu Stadium, and it is not worthy of the name to call Wang Ai Stadium. ”
