Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Lin Zhe first went to Africa, and then spent some time having fun.

So the two have been separated for quite some time.

A little farewell is better than a wedding.

It had been almost half a month since they last met, and Yan Xi rushed into Lin Zhe's arms as soon as she arrived.

Then it rubbed against Lin Zhe like a kitten rubbing against someone.

"did you miss me?"

Lin Zhe hugged her tightly and said with a smile.

"Of course I want to! Come on, let me take you to get something to eat."

……

Having come to Europe, the food here is only slightly better than that in Siberia.

That is, a slightly better level.

However, once the money is right, finding a good place is not difficult.

I took my wife out to dinner, especially since we hadn't seen each other for so long.

Naturally, we should go to a nicer, more romantic place.

To put it bluntly, it's about having a certain level of sophistication.

Years ago, when Lin Zhe was in college, he certainly wouldn't have wanted to come to a place like this.

Not only is it ridiculously expensive, but going inside and seeing the upscale decor and the incredibly sophisticated waiters makes me feel uneasy.

There was nothing I could do; I only had a few hundred yuan in my pocket.

If you're just trying to impress girls by forcing yourself to go to a place like this...

You might have to go to the restroom halfway through the meal to ask your best buddy for help.

And most importantly, it's impossible to get enough to eat.

Exquisite dishes mean pitifully small portions.

When Lin Zhe was in college, he had the biggest appetite of his entire life.

Going to a place like that is just asking for trouble.

……

But things are different now. Now I have unlimited money in my pocket, which brings me unlimited courage and composure.

Of course, to put it bluntly, this might just be considered vulgar.

But who wouldn't want such vulgarity around them?

Red wines produced by top wineries with sufficient vintage.

As for the food, just order more if you're still hungry.

When I was younger, I would occasionally go out and treat myself to a steak.

When they get there, they'll ask how well-done you want it, and those guys will all pretend to be.

Order it medium-well, medium-well, medium-rare, or medium-rare.

But that thing even had a bloody taste when you ate it.

Especially when the meat isn't top-quality, leaving it slightly raw is pure torture.

Perhaps some people will naturally enjoy eating it undercooked.

But Lin Zhe really couldn't eat it.

Later, Lin Zhe also learned that well-done steak is the real test of a chef's skill.

It's really difficult for ordinary chefs or small Western restaurants to get the timing right.

If you bake it a little longer, it will burn.

If you skip a few more strokes, it might only be 90% cooked, with the innermost part of the meat still oozing blood.

In short, most chefs really can't handle this job.

If the food is baked to a mediocre or not very tasty quality, it could easily ruin the shop's reputation.

But the places Lin Zhe is visiting now are naturally all top-notch.

A well-done steak, plus various side dishes.

It's more than enough for Yan Xi and the other two.

……

During the meal, the two of them drank more than half a bottle of red wine.

If this were beer, Lin Zhe could have some more.

But thinking that it's a rare romantic dinner for my wife, I thought it would be better to have some red wine.

Both of them are feeling slightly tipsy now.

After leaving the restaurant, take a walk along the riverbank.

Then Lin Zhe shared his thoughts with Yan Xi.

The main focus is on Zhetong's development in Europe.

Lin Zhe also mentioned that he plans to sponsor a top European football club.

Of course, this investment is not small.

For top-tier clubs, such as those with high-level sponsorship or strategic partnerships, the starting price is at least tens of millions of euros per year.

But Lin Zhe felt that the money was perfectly acceptable.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xi immediately expressed her support.

Although she is not like Lin Zhe, she often watches football matches and can be considered a football fan.

But she naturally learned about these European club cases in her business courses.

After all, these successful clubs are often worth billions of euros.

This is something that many companies cannot achieve.

Moreover, in terms of popularity, football has the most fans in the world.

Sponsoring a brand will definitely not be a bad deal in terms of brand awareness.

Lin Zhe also held this idea.

We can cooperate closely with local clubs to allow them to use Shangzhetong Power's electricity supply first.

As an anchor point for entering the European market.

Then, power was provided in the vicinity of the club, and some additional activities were launched.

For example, collaborating with club sponsors to organize some events.

Local residents who choose Zhetong power supply and open a Zhetong account can do so.

There's a raffle, and prizes include club merchandise such as jerseys and scarves.

In addition, the jerseys also include items such as jerseys autographed by the players.

You can also give away tickets or similar items.

Anyway, the odds are different, and there are also small items, various inexpensive merchandise from the club.

For example, a water cup.

Ordinary people probably don't feel anything about these things.

But for die-hard fans in Europe, these things are still tempting.

Each and every one of the various things we use in daily life.

Even the blankets they use are printed with their club's logo.

Moreover, the community culture in Europe is deeply ingrained in everyone's bones.

You were born here, not to mention your parents.

It means your parents' parents have supported this team since they were young and are members of the club.

Then, in your generation, without a doubt...

You will be a member of the club from the moment you are born.

Then you will naturally support everything about this club day after day, just like other die-hard fans.

These items, especially autographed jerseys from club players, are naturally very tempting.

Such a lucky draw opportunity is one that many people would not want to miss.

……

Lin Zhe had this plan: to directly and significantly sponsor clubs of all sizes.

Then, the first thing to do was to power all the club's facilities.

Next, power was turned on to the communities surrounding the club.

Large clubs naturally have a wider scope.

Small clubs also have their own community culture.

Starting with their community, they project outwards, perhaps into a neighborhood or something similar.

……

After they finished talking about this, they took a walk together towards the hotel.

Lin Zhe actually encountered it on the way.

Inside a football training field, some people are playing football with great effort.

And it's clear that it's quite standardized.

They were all wearing training vests and were divided into groups for sparring.

Then Yanxi also helped Lin Zhe take a look at the sign outside the training ground.

It really is a football club.

It's just a very low-level one.

After seeing the name, I took out my phone and searched for it.

This community football club has only a little over two thousand members, or die-hard registered fans.

He plays in lower-level local leagues.

The club's players all have other jobs, such as plumbers and welders.

People come here to play football for two reasons: the community and football itself.

Lin Zhe thought for a moment and decided to give them a chance. (End of Chapter)
