After being rejected by Qin Yikong, Qin Yiyi met his best friend Ma Yuanbao and officially started preparations for the club. They named the club "Core Light" and faced many difficulties in the early days. The players were not professionally trained, they were short of funds, they had no visibility, and the team morale was low. Ma Yuanbao used his professional advantages to develop a detailed financial budget and also secured the first small sponsorship. Qin Yiyi led by example and stayed up late training with the players to hone their tactics. During this period, Qin Yikong secretly sent someone to help.
