According to the planning and design of Herzog and De Mellon, the capacity of the new stadium is 42,000 people, which can meet the needs of Chinatown. After all, the Aldevilla Stadium is only 8,000 people.

Chinatown itself has conducted market research on the capacity of the new stadium and has also commissioned a third-party agency to conduct a questionnaire. The conclusion is that, judging from the current team's situation, a stadium with about 15,000 people can meet the needs of Chinatown.

But the new stadium will take at least three years, and during this period, Chinatown will increase its development of fans in the surrounding areas. If Chinatown can continue to stay in the La Liga in the next few years, with the current team's development, it is expected that the number of viewers in the stadium in each game will be between 25,000 and 30,000.

With the team's rapid development in the past few years, it's not an exaggeration to double in three years.

Therefore, according to a longer-term plan, the capacity of the new stadium is designed to be 42,000. If the team develops better in the future, the third floor stand can be further covered to increase the capacity of the stadium to 60,000, or even more.

But this is already quite a distant thing.

Herzog and De Mellon have adopted many existing mature technologies in the planning and design of the new stadium, such as the stands of the Allianz Stadium, which is highly praised by the high-end Allianz Stadium. Whether it is the slope or distance, it gives fans a very high viewing experience. At the same time, it also facilitates the voices of fans in the stands to the stadium and increase the atmosphere of the home court.

This time, they further optimized it on this basis, using a compact bowl-shaped platform as the fan stand, which greatly improved the viewing line and allowed fans to enjoy every inch of grass in the stadium without any corner of the stadium, which made a considerable improvement in comfort.

In addition, the design of the new stadium in other aspects is also highly valued by Gao Han and Chinatown.

The various facilities of this new stadium represent almost the most advanced level in the world football world, such as broadcasting cameras, media agents, administrative rooms and senior executive rooms, especially the latter.

According to the design of Herzog and De Mellon, the new stadium will have 150 administrative rooms and 50 senior administrative rooms, totaling 200, which will bring extremely rich benefits to Chinatown every year.

Not only that, due to the appearance design of the new stadium, the interior area inside the rib shell structure is very spacious. In addition to a series of perfect facilities provided to fans, there is also a large area for commercial purposes. The bridge arch connecting the bridge connecting the shopping center is planned as bars, cafes and other leisure and entertainment venues, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the operating income of the new stadium.

There are many benefits, but there are many problems encountered, that is, the new stadium is investing heavily.

According to preliminary estimates by Herzog and De Mellon, the total budget of the new stadium and the shopping center next door is between 450 million euros and 500 million euros, which undoubtedly exceeds the psychological price of Gao Han and Chinatown.

Over the past year, Gao Han and Chinatown have raised money everywhere. Selling Falcao and Ramirez in exchange for 80 million euros and selling the team's stadium naming rights for the next twenty years. Qatar Airways is willing to pay half of the money in advance within the next three years to help Chinatown build a new stadium, about 100 million euros.

In addition, Gao Han also received a long-term low-interest loan of 150 million euros from the bank, but if all these are added, it will only be about 330 million euros. Even if Gao Han invests a little more, it will probably be about 350 million euros, which is undoubtedly still quite far from the budget of more than 400 million to 500 million euros.

After seeing off Herzog and De Mellon, Gao Han, senior executives of Chinatown, and Deputy Chief Li, the general manager of the project, stayed to have a meeting and continued to study the plans of the two architects. The results were very consistent and very good.

But the only thing is that the budget is indeed exceeding, and it is also quite a lot more.

"Actually, our situation is relatively good now." Armando Marcos smiled bitterly.

"What do you mean?" Gao Han asked strangely.

"I also got the news not long ago." Armando Marcos laughed, "After Valencia sold Mendita at the beginning of the century, he was determined to build a new stadium. The budget at that time was 180 million euros. But as a result, this project is not only a long way from completion, but the budget for the new stadium has also repeatedly broken through new highs."

"I heard it was 350 million before, but now I heard it is estimated to be nearly 500 million euros."

"Really or not?" Gao Han also smiled bitterly. Isn't this too outrageous?

However, it is not surprising that Valencia has this idea. For the Bat Legion, having a new stadium is undoubtedly the top priority, so selling the money and investing in the construction of the new stadium should be considered a long-term solution.

"Indeed." Cantalero affirmed, "The main reason is that Valencia's management is too much. On the one hand, he has no money at all, which has led to the delay in the project. On the other hand, their management has indeed been a little confused in recent years."

Gao Han nodded. One day, the emperor and another day, especially for teams like Valencia, management turmoil is indeed a very troublesome thing. After all, the most important thing for every new chairman to take office is to quickly achieve results and please fans, rather than considering the long-term development of the club. Therefore, they often invest in the transfer market as soon as possible.

When Gao Han thought of this, he felt a lot of comfort in his heart.

As it turns out, seeing someone who is more unlucky than you is undoubtedly the best healing medicine.

At this moment, Deputy Chief Li suddenly inserted in and asked Gao Han cautiously: "Mr. Gao Han, I wonder if you have considered handing over the entire new stadium project to a Chinese construction company to take charge?"

"Leave it to a construction company in China?" Gao Han was a little surprised.

Armando Marcos and others were also surprised.

"Yes, China's infrastructure level has made rapid progress in recent years, and it is easy to do a variety of large-scale projects, and it is also very experienced in the construction of sports facilities."

Deputy Chief Li stopped at this point, for fear of giving people a sense of self-proclaimed self-proclaimed suspicion.

"I participated in the planning and design throughout the process. According to my preliminary estimate, 450 million to 500 million euros should be handed over to European construction companies to make a budget, but if it is handed over to Chinese companies to take responsibility, I believe it will not exceed 450 million euros, or even lower."

"Really or false?" This time, the voiceless one turned into Armando Marcos.

As the general manager of Chinatown, he knows better than anyone else that if it can be so much cheaper, it will be a blessing for Chinatown. With these tens of millions, the team can do too many things.

"I dare not say the specifics, but I think it should be possible, and it is one of the top construction companies in China." Deputy Chief Li said confidently.

Gao Han was also moved.

He is not a tycoon like the Middle East consortium. One or two hundred million is like fragmentary money. For him, millions are distressed, let alone the gap of tens of millions of euros? And it is still handed over to the company of his motherland, so of course he feels more intimate.

"But...will there be any trouble?" Gao Han pointed to the top of his head, meaning the Spanish government.

"Maybe, but these can be operated." Deputy Chief Li seemed quite sure.

Armando Marcos, Cantalero and others immediately looked at Gao Han in unison, their eyes full of encouragement.

Let's give it a try!

For Chinatown, tens of millions of euros are not a small amount.

What's more, the infrastructure capabilities of Chinese companies are indeed quite amazing, with fast speed and cheap prices. Who do they choose if they don't choose?

Gao Han thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, then please help me contact Deputy Chief Li."

"Let Tianming help me. Their family is engaged in real estate and knows more people than me." Deputy Chief Li suggested.

Gao Han thought about it and agreed. He was still very sure of Xiang Tianming's family's connections in China.

On the other hand, after the preliminary planning and design, Chinatown should start operation as soon as possible.

Armando Marcos said he will submit it to the Madrid District Government and Fuen Lavrada Municipal Government for discussion as soon as possible. Once it is approved, a planning permit will be obtained, which will further promote the planning and construction of the new stadium.

Gao Han was not worried about the government's attitude, because according to the results of his previous communication with the Madrid District Government and the Fuenlavrada Municipal Government, both levels of governments support the construction of the new stadium in Chinatown, and the surrounding land has been bought by Gao Han, so there will be no problem in renovating the new stadium.

There are two more troubles now. First, once the new stadium is started, Aldevilla Stadium will be pushed down. Then where will Chinatown’s home game be arranged?

Another one is money.

Funding has always been a long-standing problem in preparing for the construction of a new stadium. Valencia has failed to build a new stadium for many years, and in the end it is because of lack of money. Atletico Madrid's new stadium project was also relied on the bed sheet army to raise money for many years, so that the construction can be completed.

It can be said that it is quite difficult to build a new stadium, but it is imperative for the long-term development of the club.

If it really doesn't work, then you can only continue to sell people.

Since selling Falcao and Ramirez last summer, the team's performance has been affected for a while, but Pochettino quickly stabilized his position. Diego Costa and Aubameyang took on the task of siegeing the city and siege. Coupled with Mkhitaryan's high-level performance, Chinatown finally won the eighth place in La Liga and became a dark horse in La Liga this season.

Looking at the whole season, in addition to Falcao and Ramirez who have already transferred, the team's best performers are undoubtedly captain Marcos Senna, who can be said to be the core pillar of Chinatown's midfield.

In the frontcourt, Mkhitaryan was the most eye-catching player. After Falcao left, Pochettino after several rounds of running-in, he adjusted the offensive combination in the frontcourt, allowing Mkhitaryan to be more the team's midfielder and play his role in the offensive end. This not only activates Mkhitaryan, but also ignits the goal momentum of Aubameyang and Diego Costa.

It can be said that this set of frontcourt tridents is not as good as Falcao, but when combined, the team's attacking power is no less than that of Falcao's period, and Mkhitaryan's role is very critical.

The most stable performance on the defense line is undoubtedly two central defenders, Aldevelde and Otamendi. These two players have been selected for the national teams of Belgium and Argentina. This is undoubtedly a recognition of Chinatown's strength, especially Otamendi, who was also brought to the South Africa World Cup by Argentina's head coach Maradona.

Once Otamendi performs well in South Africa, his value will undoubtedly surge and lead to a round of crazy grabs.
