As the world’s leading sports activity, football has always received significant attention. Now, in Asia, a region often referred to by Europe as a football wasteland, a club is surprisingly investing so much money into football. This is undoubtedly big news.

Of course, when European clubs hear this news, they will probably scoff, thinking that Tianyu Club is just another farce like Chelsea with Abramovich.

Despite Abramovich’s substantial investment, Chelsea did not achieve particularly impressive results. After all, the owners of Europe’s top clubs are not short of money.

Thus, having money does not necessarily guarantee winning championships in football. Even though Abramovich had money, the top clubs in Europe would not sell their star players to him.

However, the situation in Asia, especially in our country, is different from Europe. For example, the newly emerged Asian powerhouse Guangzhou Evergrande achieved the AFC Champions League title through its extravagant spending.

Although the AFC Champions League doesn’t compare to the UEFA Champions League in prestige, it is still the top club competition in Asia. Now, Wu Hao aims to create a new powerhouse in the same manner, and his spending is even more extravagant than Evergrande’s.

Time flies, and as the press conference concluded, various media outlets extensively reported on it. The fastest responses came from major online news portals, followed by rapid dissemination through social media platforms like Moments and Weibo.

Given the scale of this football investment, which is jaw-droppingly extravagant, it sparked a frenzy of discussion online.

The most intense discussions came from the fans and netizens in Shuangqing City. Whether they usually watch football or not, everyone had an opinion on the news, with fans of the Yuanli Fan team being particularly vocal.

“My Fan has finally bid farewell to the era of the broken sails; the super-rich Tianyu is about to rise.”

“Could our football finally be on the rise? How could a club invest 30 billion so suddenly?”

“I heard that the renamed Tianyu plans to build its own professional football stadium. Is that true?”

“Definitely, didn’t you see the new owner invested 30 billion? With that much money, what kind of stadium can’t be built?”

“The new Tianyu Club forum has been set up. Fans, come and join quickly.”

Compared to the heated online discussions from fans and non-fans, the owners of the top clubs in the Super League, such as Evergrande and Shanghai SIPG, were also shocked by the news.

Their shock wasn’t due to the 30 billion figure; after all, with their net worth in the hundreds of billions or even trillions, that amount of money is not beyond their means. However, their wealth is tied up in assets like stock values and other investments.

If asked to invest 30 billion all at once into football, they definitely lack the resolve. Even the current “national father” Jack Ma and the richest man in China would feel the same.

While they have the money, they are still fundamentally businessmen. If this large sum were to be invested in other profitable industries, they would definitely consider it.

But in football, the profitability is well known worldwide. Even the top five leagues in Europe have few clubs that make substantial profits. Only a handful of clubs make a profit each year; others just manage to balance their expenditures.

However, it’s not to say that there aren’t profitable opportunities in football. The biggest beneficiaries are undoubtedly the betting companies, which earn astronomical sums behind the scenes.

As Tianyu Club’s massive investment plan caught the attention of netizens and business tycoons, curiosity and interest in the club’s backer grew.

Since Wu Hao intentionally had the AI release some information online, some of his details became known to the public. Wu Hao’s actions were inevitable given the global attention on football. Keeping such an investment hidden was nearly impossible.

Of course, if he truly wanted to keep any personal information off the internet, he could have the AI erase it. However, such actions would seem too fake and could reveal even more.

Wu Hao never intended to remain hidden in the background. No matter how much attention he garnered, it would not affect his private actions.

With his abilities, he could ensure his whereabouts remained undiscovered anywhere in the world. Besides his telekinesis that allows him to fly, Wu Hao also has advanced stealth technology.

His AI has even made significant progress in developing an anti-gravity engine. At this rate, in a few months, Wu Hao could create an autonomous stealth aircraft equipped with anti-gravity technology.

Once Wu Hao fully masters the anti-gravity engine, manufacturing not just aircraft but even a flying aircraft carrier would be entirely feasible.

A few days later, Wu Hao, along with his family and his cousin’s family, arrived at the city airport with a team of bodyguards. Although Sanyuan City is a prefecture-level city, it still has a small airport.

“Xiao Hao, is this the plane we’re taking?” After arriving at the airport, Wu Hao’s cousin, Liu Qin, looked at a white Gulfstream G550 and couldn’t help but marvel.

Although she was aware of the chartered plane Wu Hao had prepared for their trip, seeing it in person still brought her both excitement and astonishment.

The Gulfstream G550 is one of the best private jets in the world. Although it only accommodates around 20 passengers, it is more than enough for Wu Hao and his family, totaling around ten people, plus a few accompanying bodyguards.

It’s not just Wu Hao’s cousin who was surprised by the private jet; his parents and sister were equally amazed. After all, they had never even been on a regular commercial flight before!

Today was their first time flying, and it was on a luxurious private jet.
