Green Journey

Chapter 334 The Overbearing Manchester City!
"Chu Zheng and Guardiola met in a teahouse, and the two sides talked secretly for 4 hours, so the next stop of Chu Zheng is Manchester? "

"Guardiola went to China in person and waited for Chu Zheng for a week. The Premier League giants are about to complete a billion-dollar signing! "

"Chu Zheng may accept the invitation of Manchester City, and will wear the Blue Moon jersey to play in the Premier League next season!" "

"A world-class midfielder may join Manchester City, the arrival of Chu Zheng will make Blue Moon even more dazzling! "

"..."

As the fans in the teahouse put their photo signatures with Chu Zheng and Guardiola on their personal social media platforms to show off, the news of the meeting between Chu Zheng and Guardiola spread rapidly on the Internet.

Near noon, a large number of eye-catching news headlines appeared in the eyes of the people across the country.

Regarding this news, many fans among Chu Zheng's nearly 8000 million fans are somewhat disappointed.

Most of these fans are fans of Manchester United. It feels so sour to watch their favorite stars join their rivals in the same city.

No way, as the Premier League's first Manchester United to open up the Chinese market, they do have a large fan base in China.

But soon these fans have prepared themselves mentally. It is already a miracle that a towering tree like Chu Zheng can grow in the soil where football nutrients are extremely scarce. So they are content and don't demand anything else.

On Chu Zheng's side, after a pleasant conversation, he originally wanted to invite Guardiola to his house for a meal.

But Guardiola refused, saying that he would fly back to Manchester in the afternoon, and the club still had a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

Chu Zheng expressed his understanding.

The summer transfer window seems to be very long every year, but it is not the case for big clubs, and sometimes the time of these few months will seem a little tight.

Especially for a big club with strong capital and ambitions like Manchester City, their transfer work is very busy.

And this year Guardiola is a new official, so Manchester City is bound to clean up some players who are not suitable for Guardiola's tactical system.

There are also those players whose competitive status has declined due to their seniority, which also need to be cleaned up.

After sending Guardiola off from the airport, Chu Zheng heard Mario ask, "Chu, Mourinho and Wenger, maybe you need to meet them, otherwise it would be too impolite."

"Nonsense!" Chu Zheng rolled his eyes, "Let's go, let's visit Mourinho first!"

Chu Zheng did not return home until evening.

"Hoho, uncle, you're a miserable chatter!"

As soon as he entered the house, Lin Mengmeng, who was squatting in the yard playing Ultraman, threw herself into Chu Zheng's arms, and whispered into Chu Zheng's ear to complain.

"Grandma is angry and chattering!"

Chu Zheng, who was squatting in the yard, picked up the little man, kissed the little man, and asked cheerfully, "Why?"

"What are you doing when you come back, you can't play outside the house every day!"

"Selling lightning by the bridge, cut flash, FU! FU! FU!! (wind sound)"

"Hahaha!!!!!!!" Seeing Lin Mengmeng swearing like Su Ping vividly, Chu Zheng laughed so hard.

"Uncle, what do you mean by selling lightning?" Lin Mengmeng asked innocently.

Chu Zheng's laughter stopped abruptly, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he faltered: "Oh! Oh! You should ask the old man this question!"

"Mom! I'm coming back to chat!" After saying that, Chu Zheng yelled, and then entered the room with the little man in his arms.

After a while, Chu Zheng made Su Ping, who was a little angry, laugh.

In the evening, after dinner, Chu Zheng's family happily watched the special program recorded by the four of them at the end of May in the living room.

When the four of Chu Zheng talked about some interesting things about the youth training team, everyone was overjoyed.

But at around 8:[-], the dusty Mario came over.

Mario came to the living room and sat down after eating something hastily at Chu Zheng's house.

Seeing that Chu Zheng and the two hadn't returned to their room and had something to say, Chu Dong turned down the volume of the TV.

However, it attracted Lin Mengmeng's loud protest, but was brutally suppressed by her mother Chu Ling, and her ass almost didn't blossom!
Mario took out a few documents from his bag and handed them to Chu Zheng, saying, "Chu, this is your personal treatment clause initially drafted by Manchester City Club."

Chu Zheng took a look, and immediately frowned.

Because the contract period proposed by Manchester City is 6 years, Chu Zheng raised his head and glanced at Mario who was already talking with Lin Mengmeng, and then lowered his head and continued to look.

Salary: The basic weekly salary is 16 pounds, and the total before tax is 832 million pounds

Prize money: Winning the Premier League title will receive an additional £100 million bonus

Winning the FA Cup will earn an extra £50

Winning the Carabao Cup will receive an additional £50 bonus

Winning the Europa League will bring you an extra £300 million

Goal bonus, £5/a

Assist bonus, £5/a

In addition, if Chu Zheng can play 60% of the total number of games in a season, he can also get an appearance bonus of 142 million pounds.

If he can win the Ballon d'Or, he will receive a bonus of 41.6 pounds, and an additional reward of 73.5 a year.

In addition, the prize money of the UEFA Champions League is also written in great detail.

Even if he can't win the Champions League, as long as Chu Zheng leads Manchester City to the Champions League knockout round as a main player, he can also get a corresponding level of bonus.

The bonuses for each level are quite substantial.

After carefully reading these bonus terms, Chu Zheng felt the sincerity of Manchester City.

This attitude of throwing money is simply arrogant, and it is appropriate to use money as paper.

All in all, in theory, Chu Zheng's average weekly salary before tax will reach more than 28 pounds a year, and his annual salary will be around 1500 million pounds.

Of course, this is the ideal state.

In addition, the fax did not mention the distribution of Chu Zheng's portrait rights.

This kind of thing requires Mario to use verbal swords to negotiate, and the specifics need to be negotiated between the two sides to decide.

Seeing that Chu Zheng was frowning all the time, Chu Dong and the others who knew that Chu Zheng was discussing transfer matters with Mario on the sofa next to him also looked curious and had no intention of watching TV.

Only the little girl Lin Mengmeng concentrated her mind and watched it with gusto.

After a while, Chu Zheng raised his head, and suddenly found that his sister Chu Ling had quietly sat beside him, and was constantly casting wild eyes.

Chu Zheng was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "You understand!"

After saying that, Chu Zheng immediately threw the document on Chu Ling to prevent him from being beaten.

As soon as Chu Ling got the document, Lin Gou and Chu Dong all came together.

Seeing the string of zeros on the document, Lin, who was gnawing on an apple, was instantly petrified.

Although he can't read English very well, he can see the symbols and amounts of the British pound very clearly.

"Shovel! A goal of [-] pounds!" Chu Ling knew a little English, his eyes were round, and he exclaimed again and again.

"If I knew playing football was so profitable, I would have practiced it too!" Lin sighed leisurely.

Then he was instantly stunned by his wife.

"Just you?" Chu Ling gave Lin Gou a disgusted look, "It's just that little bow-legged guy who runs up like a Benzene devil, going to the court to let others fight against Japan?"

"Haha!" Seeing his son-in-law's self-closing expression, Chu Dong immediately laughed gloatingly.

On Chu Zheng's side, he looked at Mario and said, "The contract period is too long, preferably 4 years."

"I think so too!" Mario laughed. "This is just a document of intent. Begiristan made it very clear that you can discuss any dissatisfaction."

"But Chu, Begiristan made a condition, and he hopes you can agree. To be precise, he hopes you can cooperate with them."

"What?" Chu Zheng asked.

"Begiristan hopes that after the contract is negotiated, the signing will not be announced until July!" Mario said meaningfully.

Suddenly, Chu Zheng's face suddenly realized, he nodded after a little hesitation, and said, "No problem!"

Chu Zheng still knows a little bit about it.

Manchester City's request involves UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FPP) restrictions on European club transfers.

This Financial Fair Play Act can be explained clearly in one sentence.

That is, you spend as much as you earn.

Therefore, in the transfer battle every summer, in addition to fighting with other clubs and agents, each club also has to fight with FPP, a tight-knit curse, to conduct as much as possible in the transfer market without violating the FFP rules. put in.

And Begiristan's request is one of the means that European teams often use to fight against FPP.

In Chinese, it means transposition.

Synchronized with the European mainstream league competition system, FFP's financial cycle is also a multi-year system.

June 6th of each year marks the end of the previous fiscal year, and July 30st marks the end of the next fiscal year.

This fiscal year dividing line happens to be during the summer transfer window, so it gives European clubs a room to operate.

If Chu Zheng does not sign the contract until July, then he will be a player signed in the next financial cycle.

And Chu Zheng's transfer fee was transferred out of thin air to the accounts of the 2016-17 fiscal year, so that the club's finances would look healthier.

This kind of time travel operation is very common in European clubs.

In addition to reducing expenses as much as possible, increasing book revenue is also a way for European clubs to deal with UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act.

Such as creating something out of nothing!

Because direct capital injection by the parent company or club owner is not allowed by UEFA.

Therefore, many clubs use various "sponsors" to increase the club's revenue.

And behind these high sponsorships, there is often the shadow of the club owner.

Just like Paris Saint-Germain, his rise is inseparable from those generous sponsors.

Ligue [-] local tyrants spend a lot of money in the transfer market every year, and they are always very lucky to reap generous sponsorship from the Middle East at critical moments.

After signing Beckham in 2013, Paris Saint-Germain turned around and won a super sponsorship contract from Emirates Airline.

The amount of sponsorship has skyrocketed from 400 million euros per year to 2500 million euros.

The sponsorship quickly balanced the precarious accounts of Paris Saint-Germain due to the high wages of Ibrahimovic, Beckham, David Silva and other stars.

In the face of media doubts, Paris said he was wronged.

It's not his fault that others like to give him money!

Um!The logic is very clear and there is nothing wrong with it!
In addition, there are methods such as Jin Chan's escape, Li Daitao's rigidity, etc. UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act is almost being played by these arrogant clubs.

And UEFA is also very troubled in the face of this phenomenon.

It is very difficult to investigate and deal with some clubs.

Because every club that plays very wild and unscrupulous, stands behind a group of top lawyers and financial elites in the world.

Some clubs are even standing behind a certain kingdom, using state-owned assets.

No matter how powerful your UEFA is, can you still find it in other people's treasury?

So there is a saying in Europe, "Maybe the Financial Fair Play Act itself is not fair!"
