The lively celebration scene started on the night of the game.

The Yucheng City Government held a grand fireworks in the Municipal Square that night. The quiet night sky was instantly turned into a gorgeous starry sky by colorful fireworks;

The club also specially arranged a parade. All members of the team stood on the convertible bus, holding the newly won AFC trophy in their hands, and waving excitedly to the crowd on the roadside;

The march was getting longer and longer, and a short section of Renmin East Road was less than one kilometer away, and it took half an hour to drive.

This is just the local situation where the football atmosphere is not strong. In first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, various celebrations have made this wonderful championship night more exciting and Chinese-style;

Chinese football was particularly humble in this 2008 sports year. It was entirely due to its own death. They were nailed firmly to the pillar of shame when they had nothing to gain;

Against this background, Yucheng's winning of the championship also made them catch up with a good time, and the entire Asian and even the world football team remembered such a Chinese team;

In China, their fame has far surpassed any team, and their fans have seen a geometric growth.

While gaining great honors, the generous bonuses are also particularly eye-catching and envious to the Chinese people.

The AFC Champions League prize is $600,000, plus the winning prize and away travel expenses, Yucheng received a total prize of $1.9 million in the AFC Champions League alone;

This is not counted as domestic related rewards. If it is converted into RMB, the club will earn more than 10 million yuan;

Echoing Yucheng's first-time winning behavior is this record-breaking sky-high bonus income.

Looking back at the time when Liaoning FC won the Asian Club Cup championship, the prize was only 20,000 yuan. Compared with today's grand occasion, it is really heaven and earth.

CCTV repeatedly played event videos on multiple channels that night and arranged relevant documentaries immediately;

This made Yucheng Yuchai, a brave champion, suddenly become the favorite team in the hearts of the Chinese people, no doubt about it.

The exclusive interview report group of Sports Daily entered Yucheng three days before the start of the game. In addition to clearly recording every detail of the winning moment, it left a legendary story for Chinese football;

More importantly, with the repeated increase in the AFC special issue "Long Huan Teng", it has arrived at the final stage;

With the climax of winning the championship, the entire publication becomes detailed and full, and it also has unique collection value.

The dismal sales of Olympic specials in the middle of the year caused a headache for the newspapers and they have decided to give up the "Longteng" series;

Unexpectedly, God will pay off. As Yucheng goes up, the newspaper's persistence will also be rewarded with the greatest reward;

Before the publication was completed, the 8,000 volumes planned for the initial edition had been sold out. The number of printings had to be increased repeatedly to barely cope with the strong purchasing demand.

This is a good opportunity to make a comeback, so the newspaper will naturally not let it go. In addition to the special friendship with the team's star player Long Tian, ​​the main creator and editor of the publication, Mi Jikuan, undoubtedly rushed to the front of the interview team.

Mi Jikuan’s interview with Long Tian was scheduled for the morning of the next day after the game.

"How about it, big star, did you have a beautiful dream last night?" Mi Jikuan asked with a smile.

"There is no time to dream. I was so tired that I returned to the room at twelve o'clock and fell asleep as soon as I fell into bed." Long Tian couldn't help but feel bitter.

"Of course, you are the Asian champions now and the idols of the people of the whole country. There will be more busy moments in the future." Mi Jikuan responded lightly.

"Then I would rather be quieter, there is not so much trouble." Long Tian replied very directly.

Mi Jikuan smiled: "I think I'm not going to be so lucky to have so many things, but I'm pretty good at saying it."

After chatting and joking for a while, the two began to enter the formal interview content.

What: First of all, congratulations on winning the AFC Champions League and the honor of assisting king that you have long been accustomed to. Can you talk about your thoughts?

Long: Thank you Brother Kuan. Let me say this, before I get it, I always think about it; once it is realized, I will feel very ordinary.

: It is normal for you to have this idea. After all, you also received the honor of assisting king a year ago. I would like to ask, is there any difference between the assisting king of the World Youth Championship and the assisting king of the AFC Champions League?

Long: There is still no way to compare the youth team competition with the adult team competition. There are big differences in the intensity of the game and the stability of performance.

What: So, your growth this year is still very gratifying.

Long: Well, I feel like I have grown up a little more and have gained knowledge. I seem to be more eager to solve my shortcomings.

No: Being arrogant or impatient, down-to-earth, there are really not many young players who can think like you.

I think this is also the main reason why you can get to where you are today.

Let’s talk about your next plan. According to the latest news in the international transfer market, many wealthy families in the five major European leagues have shown strong interest in you and will send personnel to Yucheng to contact your team’s agent team soon.

Long: The specific one depends on the future negotiations. I don’t have more news to tell you now.

What: Do you have any ideas? You should know that you have no problem with language communication now, and you have the honor of champions and honors. You are now completely in a state of being a rare product, and there is still a lot of room for options.

Long: If possible, I still hope to choose a team and league that is more suitable for my development and further hone my skills.

What: I still can't forget your Serie A and AC Milan when I hear you. That old man Galliani is so stingy, Milan's situation is worse than last year. I guess they can't pay too much for you.

Long: Everything goes with the flow, and some things cannot be forced.

Okay, then I wish you good luck and tell me the good news soon.

Long: Yes, I will tell you the first time after the negotiation is completed.

What: By the way, you still have Club World Cup next month, can you set a small goal?

Long: I haven't finished the league yet, so I can't take care of this for the time being. The only idea is to perform well at that time, and strive to avoid embarrassing the country, and learn from the world's strong teams.

What: You Yucheng have all passed the AFC Champions League and are still thinking about the Chinese Super League? Haha, I'm really a little greedy!

Long: Of course, I haven’t tasted the taste of the league assist king yet!

What: It's really horny enough, very good, I like it! Then I wish you good luck.

But I'm unfortunately telling you that with three rounds left in the league, Zhivkovic, who is currently ranked first in the assists list, has already had 10 assists, and your assists are only half of his. Your game is not low.

Long: I want to remind you that with the two rounds of supplementary games, our Yucheng still has 5 games without playing, so we will try to get more than one assist per game.

What: Young man, Saligude, it’s great, I wish you good luck!

As Yucheng finally reached the top of the AFC Champions League, the performance of the club's parent company Yuchai Group continued to rise.

As of mid-November when the AFC Champions League ended, the group's total revenue for the whole year had reached 52.5 billion yuan, far exceeding last year's 25.6 billion yuan, an increase of 105% year-on-year;

This does not include the surge in orders after winning the AFC Champions League. In the remaining month and a half, it is not difficult to exceed 60 billion in total revenue for the whole year.

After more than fifty years of development, Yuchai has long become the leading internal combustion engine manufacturer in China;

It is an investment and financing management company with capital operation and asset management as the core, and is a large state-owned enterprise group with more than 20 wholly-owned, controlled and affiliated subsidiaries;

To date, its main business has covered six major industrial sectors including engines, engineering machinery, energy and chemicals, logistics and automobile trade, parts, and special purpose vehicles, and has been ranked among the top 500 Chinese enterprises for many years;

In the latest ranking of China's 500 most valuable brands released by the World Brand Lab, the group broke through the brand value of 20 billion yuan for the first time, ranking 56th on the ranking, reaching an unprecedented height.

Under the influence of the financial crisis this year, under the huge downward pressure on the economy and the collective recession of the manufacturing field, Yuchai was able to rise against the trend and achieve this outstanding achievement, which has to be said to be a miracle.

Behind the miracle, in addition to the hard work of all the employees of the group, the success of the football club is also an extremely important reason.

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of the group, the club has been established in less than ten years since its establishment in 1999, and its total investment has exceeded 70 million yuan.

Under the leadership of General Manager Bai Huijun, the club has begun to get on track and commercial operations have begun to take shape;

It can basically achieve a state of self-sacrificing profits and losses. In the current domestic dirty environment, this has become a single-skinned existence.

Especially with the team's great success in the AFC Champions League this year, the strong comprehensive benefits of football clubs such as brand value, commercial interests, and social influence have begun to take effect, and it has a great momentum to surpass the premiere machinery manufacturing industry and become the group's leading industry.

This was also the beginning of Bai Huijun's trouble.

As the actual person in charge of the club, he led the team to achieve today's results, and he was the biggest contributor;

Bai Huijun should be full of happiness for achieving such good results after hard work.

But after a brief happiness, more rumors began to come, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

The group will hold a board meeting in the near future. The meeting originally scheduled to be held last month has suddenly changed to this month;

The specific time happened to be after the AFC Champions League final, and the mystery in it had to make Bai Huijun think twice.

Through inquiries everywhere, Bai Huijun also learned that many of the issues at this meeting revolve around the club, such as the distribution of the prize money of the tournament, the extension of the sponsorship contract, and the team's future planning;

He immediately understood why the meeting was postponed, and it was just for the team's favorite;

Whether to divide the shares or point out the way forward is an unknown number.

Bai Huijun has been building a club according to European standards. To this day, the team is of great international standards, and he has also had the illusion that he can control everything;

However, only when he truly leverages the interests of all parties, he knows his insignificance;

The general manager is just the general manager, after all, he is not a big boss with the right to speak.
