The next day, the Chu Zheng family appeared at the Chengdu Automobile Exhibition Center Auto Show.
Seeing Chu Dong, Su Ping, Chu Ling, and Lin Guo listening to the lies of a female BMW salesperson with great interest, Chu Zheng put Lin Mengmeng directly on his neck and wandered around the exhibition center looking at the car...Model!
During this period, Chu Zheng met some fans. After giving him autographs and taking photos, these fans did not bother him.
Chu Zheng's current fame is neither small nor great.
But if he wants to sensationalize the venue like some A-list celebrities, he is still a bit far away from this realm.
"Hey! There is such a car!" Chu Zheng, who was wandering among the crowd, was suddenly attracted by a car on an exhibition stand.
"Wow! So beautiful!" Lin Mengmeng, who was sitting on Chu Zheng's neck, was also instantly attracted by a pink mini car on the exhibition stand.
When he heard that the little man was interested, Chu Zheng went over and consulted.
"Hello, do you also sell this small car?"
"Sir, what do you call me?" The male salesman in a crisp suit immediately put on a professional smile when he saw Chu Zheng.
"My surname is Chu!"
"Mr. Chu, this Beetle is specially designed by our Volkswagen Group for children."
“Its design is inspired by the movie’s crazy beetle car!”
"Although it is a car specially designed for children! But it is equipped with an engine with a capacity of 6.5 horsepower and can reach a speed of 40 kilometers per hour!"
"Of course, to ensure safety, we have installed brakes and shock absorbers on each wheel, as well as a speed limiting function..."
Chu Zheng was dumbfounded when he heard the detailed introduction from salesman Balabala. It was almost no different from a real car.
"Mengmeng, do you like it?" Chu Zheng hugged the little man down.
"I like it! Uncle, do you want to buy it for me?"
"Thank you, uncle! I love you!!" Lin Mengmeng asked and answered herself in a cute manner, not giving Chu Zheng a chance to refuse.
The male salesman next to him was also instantly amused.
Chu Zheng looked dumbfounded. He pinched the little man's nose and said, "You little man!"
After a while, as soon as Chu Zheng finished swiping his card, Chu Ling and four others came over.
"Bought it?" Chu Zheng hugged Lin Mengmeng and asked with a smile.
"Yeah! Buy two cars together!" Chu Ling smiled like a flower and seemed very happy. "My mother and I teamed up to get a lot of discounts and gifts from the salesperson."
"Okay, I'll swipe my card later!" Chu Zheng followed happily.
"Sir, please fill in your address and contact information. We will deliver the car to your home on time the day after tomorrow!" At this moment, the male salesman came over and handed Chu Zheng a form.
"You bought a car too!" Chu Ling looked stunned, "You are going abroad again soon, why did you buy a car?"
"Xiao Zheng, you didn't buy this for Mengmeng, did you?" Lin Guo looked silly, but his mind was racing the fastest.
As soon as he saw the pink miniature Beetle on the exhibition stand, he guessed the cause and effect, and he immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
"Yes! Mengmeng and I have good eyesight!" Chu Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"How much!"
"Shovel!"
"Sixty thousand!"
"I'm going to die! You have so much money that you have nowhere to spend it, right?" Chu Ling snatched the invoicing receipt from Chu Zheng's hand and immediately exploded on the spot and chased Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng dodged happily, while the villain Lin Mengmeng slipped away even faster and sought shelter in the arms of Su Ping, the big boss of the Chu family.
"What a nagging! Just buy it if you buy it!" Su Ping happily watched the two siblings playing around.
At this moment, Chu Zheng's phone rang.
After a while, Chu Zheng came back after answering the phone, put the card directly into Chu Ling's hand, and said: "It's my mother's birthday, I have to leave beforehand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Zheng ran away.
Half an hour later, Chu Zheng appeared in a business suite at the Chengdu Hilton Hotel.
Looking at the two gray-haired old men sitting on the sofa opposite, Chu Zheng was shocked in his heart.
He never expected that Leicester City would take him so seriously, and that team coach Ranieri and club sporting director Steve Walsh would come in person.
"Chu, this is your personal contract. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can raise it and we will try our best to meet your requirements!" Walsh opened the briefcase and handed a contract directly to Chu Zheng with a smile.
Mario sat next to him expressionlessly, as if it had nothing to do with him. He was obviously still depressed.
In less than five minutes, Chu Zheng roughly read the contract.
He is very satisfied with the personal treatment given to him by Leicester City.
The contract term is five years.
There are also various bonuses available.
The weekly salary is £80,000 before tax.
According to the Premier League's 52-week salary calculation method, Chu Zheng's annual salary reaches 4.16 million pounds.
Although the Premier League tax is also very high, after avoiding tax through some legal methods, Chu Zheng's annual salary is still very considerable.
So Chu Zheng was very satisfied.
And according to Chu Zheng's understanding of Leicester City, this is already the maximum salary that Leicester City can offer, and the sincerity can be said to be very sufficient.
Chu Zheng raised his head and handed the contract directly to Mario.
Mario nodded and took over the contract and quickly entered work mode. Although he had read it in advance, the contract still needed to be carefully reviewed.
What Mario is most satisfied with about this contract is not Chu Zheng's weekly salary, nor the high bonuses.
But Leicester City was afraid that Chu Zheng would refuse to join the unknown team, so they symbolically asked for 10% of Chu Zheng's image rights. This was what he was most satisfied with.
Now that Chu Zheng's fame has a solid foundation and he has high-level honors, he will start to select endorsements for Chu Zheng this season and develop the commercial value of Chu Zheng and the Chinese market behind him.
Chu Zheng chatted with Ranieri and Walsh.
"Chu, do you know the ancient position of 'libero' on the court?"
Chu Zheng was stunned by Ranieri's question and asked a little uncertainly: "Are you talking about Beckenbauer? Or Sammer?"
"Who do you think is more perfect between the two of them?" Ranieri asked without answering.
"Absolutely, both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages!" Chu Zheng smiled and continued: "After Beckenbauer, the best successor to the German free agent tactics is Sammer. In midfield dispatching and
Although Sammer is not as good as Beckenbauer in terms of team organization, Sammer is better than Beckenbauer in choosing defensive positions."
The smile on Ranieri's face became even stronger, and he said: "Chu, do you know what I think of you?"
"I'm very curious!" Chu Zheng grinned. Ranieri's way of chatting with a hammer and a stick made him really speechless. The topic changed too quickly.
"Chu, you are the synthesis of Beckenbauer and Sammer in today's football! You have abandoned their respective shortcomings, but gathered their respective advantages!" Ranieri directly bombarded Chu Zheng in Italy.
"Uh! (⊙﹏⊙)" Chu Zheng was stunned by this bombardment. Ranieri's evaluation was too high, which made him feel a little hot on his face.
Next to him, Mario also raised his head, obviously shocked by Ranieri's words.
Seeing Chu Zheng's shocked expression, Ranieri continued to laugh and said: "Chu, I'm not kidding you!"
"Beckenbauer and Sammer didn't have the strength you have now at your age!"
Ranieri said what he really felt in his heart.
Although Chu Zheng only played three games in the defensive midfield position at Wolfsburg, it was enough for Ranieri to see Chu Zheng's terrifying talent on the offensive end.
Whether it was midfield dispatch or attack organization, Chu Zheng did it flawlessly, especially Chu Zheng's ability to find gaps, which Sammer did not possess.
On the defensive end, Chu Zheng's miraculous defense that has been able to produce half-hour highlights, his position selection ability, and sense of crisis are something Beckenbauer does not have.
So Ranieri is right to say that Chu Zheng is a combination of Beckenbauer and Sammer.
At least that's what Ranieri thinks.
Although the position of free man in modern football has disappeared, it has not been eliminated because it lags behind the tactical system of today's football.
On the contrary, the former free man has actually been completely integrated into the fast-paced football system of this era.
In today's professional arena, you can still find traces of the former free man in the game.
Such as box-to-box versatile midfielder.
This type of midfielder is a player who can appear in any position in the entire team. He is the super core of commanding and organizing defense, and is also the initiator of the team's offense.
Liverpool's Steven Gerrard and Manchester City's Yaya Toure are good examples of this.
In addition, there are ball-controlling and ball-playing center backs, which are actually products of the evolution of free agents.
For example, Boateng's long passes and long shots, Ramos and Bonucci's scoring runs, and Pique's dribbling organization are all shadows of the free agent.
Therefore, Ranieri believes that the free man's thinking is not outdated, but is constantly transforming and evolving to adapt to the needs of the times.
In addition to the above factors, the disappearance of free agents is actually because the requirements for players in this position are too abnormal.
Because if he wants to become a true free agent, it is not enough for this kind of player to be a genius, he must be a genius among geniuses.
And this super genius is now sitting in front of Ranieri.
Chu Zheng is now in the eyes of Ranieri. Although the advantages and disadvantages are still obvious, Ranieri believes that he can transform Chu Zheng into the first true free man in modern football.
