[0750 Chapter] Thriving (Baise Come on!)
When the final whistle sounded, the score of 0:5 was clearly displayed on the on-site scoreboard. According to international practice, the home team was in front and the visiting team was in the back.
At this time, the stands at St Andrews Stadium were already empty, and Birmingham fans had already stood up when the team was behind 0:5 after the 80th minute of the game.
Most of the fans who celebrated Manchester United's victory were wearing Manchester United's uniforms. They witnessed their beloved team defeating their hometown teams in their hometowns. For these fans, this is a wonderful experience. Although Birmingham is the team they liked since childhood, even these fans had longed to join Birmingham and compete for the people of their hometowns when they were young.
But now that time has changed, Manchester United's strength in the Premier League has made it a huge number of fans all over England, and Manchester United often has the illusion of home games on their away trips.
Especially when a world-class superstar like Gu Fei joins Manchester United, Manchester United's influence in various parts of England has increased sharply, and a large number of Gu Fei's fans have transformed into Manchester United's fans.
Since last season, Manchester United has been invincible in the Premier League and even in Europe. The sharp offensive style and the wonderful performances of the stars have made Manchester United very popular.
Taking this game as an example, Gu Fei's hat trick made the game enter garbage time early, but then Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo scored a wonderful goal, locking the score at 5:0.
The wonderful goals and smooth cooperation all made Manchester United fans fascinated, and naturally more fans of other teams would turn against each other.
Now, Manchester United can often get more cheers from away fans when playing away games, which also plays a positive role in improving Manchester United's record.
Gu Fei took the players to thank the fans in the stands, and the cameras on the sidelines faithfully recorded Gu Fei's every move, and the fans in front of the TV were also extremely excited.
Gu Fei's hat trick made him become the current Premier League scorer with 10 goals after missing three Premier League games. 8 assists also gave him a long lead in the assist list, continuing his outstanding performance last season.
The reason why Gu Fei was able to become the world's number one star in people's eyes in just one year is that in addition to his great reputation in the international tennis world, amazing data is the fundamental reason.
Before entering the professional football world, Gu Fei was just a tennis superstar with a genius, and people knew nothing about his skills in the football field. However, Gu Fei changed people's impression of him in a very short time. The scorer list and assist list ranked first, making him achieve supreme glory!
The live cameraman has been following Gu Fei, because the director and even the senior executives of the TV station know that having Gu Fei's pictures means high ratings and huge advertising revenue.
The media reporters who came to the scene were also unwilling to be outdone. They captured the heroic figures of Gu Fei and Manchester United stars from all angles. Their figures will appear on the front pages of major sports media around the world tomorrow and become the targets for fans to buy.
The strong rise of Gu Fei and Manchester United in European football means huge revenue and exposure for the media group, so Gu Fei is extremely popular.
Although Gu Fei comes from the red Chinese Empire, European and American media will make some unrealistic reports on Gu Fei due to ideological reasons, but they never dare to "ban" Gu Fei, because behind Gu Fei represents huge economic interests!
Therefore, Gu Fei has more and more enemies in the world sports world, and media reports are even more overwhelming, which has promoted Gu Fei's reputation worldwide!
Although there are many white chauvinist officials within UEFA who have certain prejudice against Gu Fei's rise and do not want to push Gu Fei to the public. However, Gu Fei is no longer a superstar who can be restricted by simply suppressing it. Instead of standing opposite Gu Fei, it is better to follow the general trend and achieve win-win results!
In fact, although there are ideological differences between European and American societies and the Chinese Empire, not everyone is willing to confront the Chinese Empire. In their eyes, development is the real hard truth.
In recent years, China's economy has continued to grow rapidly. It is a foregone conclusion that it has become the second largest economy in the world. Following the general trend of China's economic development, European and American countries have enjoyed a lot of dividends, and naturally more people support the rise of the Chinese Empire.
Gu Fei's strong rise means that Chinese football has more possibilities, and the huge Chinese market makes all football industry operators envious.
Since last season, Manchester United's rapid development in the Greater China Cultural District has become one of the huge dividends brought by the superstar Gu Fei.
In the first two seasons, Manchester United's business development in China and even the entire Asian region was not smooth, far behind Real Madrid, and even in Xiangjiang, Southeast Asia was not as good as Liverpool.
But Gu Fei's entry into Manchester United changed all this. Manchester United became the home team of the Chinese cultural circle overnight, and Gu Fei's perfect performance in Manchester United surprised more Chinese people.
According to incomplete statistics, in the past year, Manchester United has opened 18 fan supplies stores in China. In addition to Manchester United's genuine jerseys, various peripheral products are also dazzling. The huge consumption capacity of Chinese fans has also made many hesitant European clubs regret it!
Before this, many consulting companies including McCarthy asserted that football peripheral products, including genuine jerseys, do not have a large market in China. After all, the prices of these genuine products are relatively high, which is a huge burden for Chinese fans with low income.
Taking a genuine Manchester United home winter long-sleeved uniform as an example, the price in a Manchester store is 58 pounds, which is equivalent to nearly 700 in China currency, which is the salary of many working-class people for half a month.
In the low-end wholesale market in China, pirated jerseys of 20-30 yuan each are not only roughly made, but also the quality cannot be judged by the naked eye, which undoubtedly attracts more fans.
Moreover, the intellectual property protection work in China is not carried out very well. Experts are worried that the genuine peripheral products have just been launched in China and will be able to find alternatives in the small commodity market in the second week, so they will be frustrated!
It is precisely because of this that European clubs, including Real Madrid, did not rush to open specialty stores in China, but came to China for tours, play exhibition matches, harvest a batch of leeks and leave.
According to the consulting company, you must wait until China's per capita income reaches the level of a moderately developed country and China's intellectual property protection law is as developed as European and American countries, and club stores can be put on the agenda.
In fact, this is also the general view of European and American companies and even European and American countries on China in this era. They look down on China with a proud attitude, and hope to make huge profits from the huge Chinese market.
However, after Gu Fei took over Manchester United, all his actions seemed to be slapping the face, which made the so-called professionals stunned.
The first Manchester United store opened in Binhai, Yanjing, Xiangjiang and other places was booming in business and customers were crowded. Many Chinese fans took out thousands of Chinese coins without blinking, bought various peripheral products including genuine jerseys, and returned home with a full load.
However, three months later, Manchester United's domestic stores opened in China increased from 6 to 12, and gradually moved from first-tier cities such as Yanjing to second-tier cities such as Kingsoft, Rongcheng, and Yuzhou, allowing more and more Chinese Manchester United fans to enjoy the happiness of genuine fans.
Before the start of this season, Manchester United's stores began to appear in the central and western cities, including Guixi Yongcheng, and Manchester United is becoming the second only to the Chinese national team in the minds of Chinese fans.
Now, 18 specialty stores have cooperated with travel agencies to launch travel routes from China to Europe to watch Manchester United’s games and travel shopping, becoming a model of Manchester United’s diversified business development.
After the Champions League knockout match began last season, Chinese fans appeared in the Manchester United fan squad. They wore Manchester United uniforms and held red flags, becoming a beautiful scenery on the sidelines of the Champions League!
Even in this game, Manchester United's expedition to Birmingham still had more than 500 Chinese fans following Manchester United's footsteps to England's second largest city, personally witnessing Manchester United's big victory and Gu Fei's hat trick away.
For Chinese fans who come from afar, spending thousands of pounds to come from China thousands of miles away to England, in addition to experiencing the supreme atmosphere of the top football league close-up, witnessing victory is also a very important reason.
Since the 1994 World Cup, Chinese fans have appeared on international stadiums to watch the game, but the Chinese fans at that time were just transparent people.
In 1998, with the development of the domestic economy, the French World Cup became the beginning of large-scale live viewing of Chinese fans, and more and more Chinese faces appeared at the game. However, at that time, Chinese football never appeared in the World Cup. In the eyes of the media and European and American people, China is a football desert. Can Chinese people play football?
At that time, Chinese fans went to various world competitions to watch, and were more in a state of freedom because they did not feel immersive and felt that they were out of reach from these games.
In 2002, the Chinese men's football team entered the World Cup for the first time, and the world felt the enthusiasm of Chinese fans to watch the game on the spot for the first time. In that year, the Chinese national team swallowed 9 eggs and was in a mess, but Chinese fans left a very deep impression on the world.
From then on, a red flag was added to the scenes of major events, but because Chinese football was too weak, even Chinese fans were ignored.
The Chinese fans were anxious and angry about this, but the Chinese men's football team was too unsatisfied, so they could only swallow their anger secretly!
Nowadays, Gu Fei has risen like a comet, which has greatly improved the status of Chinese fans. He is also highly treated to watch football overseas.
Because of Gu Fei, European and American journalists and the public no longer think that China is a desert area of football. Instead, they all gave Chinese fans a thumbs up and said that they were compatriots of superstars.
Just from the treatment of fans, we can see that Gu Fei has won a huge position for Chinese football in European football. Every step Gu Fei takes is creating a new history of Chinese football!
Many fans are willing to come overseas to watch football because the victory of Gu Fei and Manchester United can give them great spiritual enjoyment. They have a deeper relationship with Manchester United, which has always won.
According to incomplete statistics, in the third quarter of 2007, Manchester United's specialty store revenue in China will reach an astonishing 50 million pounds, while this figure was only 30 million pounds in the first quarter. This year, Manchester United's revenue in China will reach an astonishing 160 million pounds, and the huge profits are amazing!
At this point, the Chinese market has replaced England and has become Manchester United's largest source of income, which undoubtedly tilts the club's policies toward the Chinese market more.
Manchester United's successful business development in China surprised the outside world. Everyone underestimated the consumption enthusiasm and ability of Chinese fans. Only Gu Fei, who had disagreements at the time, knew very well that behind the huge China population base, there were tens of millions of fans with consumption capacity, and only Gu Fei in the world has absolute confidence in the Chinese economy!
The season is coming to an end, and many European football clubs have also begun to enter the Chinese market. They are either planning specialty stores for fans' peripheral products, or trying to cooperate with Chinese football clubs to carry out youth training and player exchanges.
However, Manchester United has now taken the lead in the Chinese market. As long as Gu Fei is still the boss of Manchester United's club and still has outstanding performance in the team, Manchester United's leading position in the Chinese market is no one can shake.
Next, Gu Fei will guide Manchester United clubs to further reduce various peripheral costs and the price of jerseys in China, attract more Chinese youth to join the ranks of football, further cultivate the football market in China, create a better football atmosphere, and cultivate a huge football population!
Only by completely transforming China's football environment can the Chinese football industry embark on a virtuous cycle, and finally maintain a steady pace of development after leaving individual support.
For Gu Fei, European football is not just a goal to catch up, but also a mountain that Chinese football needs to surpass. Only by becoming the "world's number one" can it conform to the Chinese people's pursuit of career!
With China's vast territory and huge population, Gu Fei is confident that he will develop Chinese football into the world's number one existence. This is a very difficult challenge, but it is very interesting.

The away victory over Birmingham is just a small episode of Manchester United's winning streak. Manchester United, which is becoming more and more powerful, is presenting exciting stories to Manchester United fans all over the world.
