"Chu Zheng and Guardiola met in a teahouse, and the two sides talked secretly for four hours, so Chu Zheng's next stop is Manchester?"
"Guardiola went to China in person and waited for Chu Zheng for a whole week. The Premier League giant is about to complete a billion-dollar signing!"
"Chu Zheng may accept Manchester City's invitation and will wear a Blue Moon jersey to compete in the Premier League next season!"
"A world-class midfielder may join Manchester City. The arrival of Chu Zheng will make the Blue Moon even more dazzling!"
"..."
As the fans in the teahouse showed off their photos and autographs with Chu Zheng and Guardiola on their personal social media platforms, news of the meeting between Chu Zheng and Guardiola quickly spread on the Internet.
As noon approaches, a large number of eye-catching news headlines appear in the eyes of people across the country.
Regarding this news, many fans among Chu Zheng's nearly 80 million fans are a little disappointed.
Most of these fans are Manchester United fans. It feels so sour to see their favorite stars join their rivals in the same city.
There is no way, as Manchester United is the first Premier League to open up the Chinese market, they do have a large fan base in China.
But these fans quickly built up their psychology. It was already a miracle that a towering tree like Chu Zheng could grow in their soil, which was extremely deficient in football nutrients, so they were satisfied and did not demand anything else.
On Chu Zheng's side, after a pleasant conversation, he originally wanted to invite Guardiola to his home for a meal.
But Guardiola refused, saying that he would fly back to Manchester in the afternoon and that 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 for big clubs, it is not the case. Sometimes these few months can even seem a bit tight.
Especially for a big club with strong capital and ambitions like Manchester City, their transfer work is very busy.
Moreover, Guardiola is a new official this year, so Manchester City is bound to clear out some players who are not suitable for Guardiola's tactical system.
There are also players whose competitive status has declined due to their age, and they also need to be cleaned up.
After seeing Guardiola off from the airport, Chu Zheng heard Mario ask as soon as he got in the car: "Chu, Mourinho and Wenger, maybe you need to meet them, otherwise it would be too rude."
"Nonsense!" Chu Zheng rolled his eyes, "Let's go and visit Mourinho first!"
After this trip, Chu Zheng did not return home until evening.
"Oh, uncle, you are such a nag!"
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.
"Grandma is angry and nagging!"
Chu Zheng, who was squatting in the yard, picked up the little guy, kissed him, and asked cheerfully: "Why?"
"What are you doing when you come back? You can't do anything outside the house every day!"
"Sell Lightning Mai by the bridge, cut flash, FU! FU! FU!! (wind sound)"
"Hahaha!!!!!!!" Seeing Lin Mengmeng imitating Su Ping's curse, Chu Zheng laughed so hard.
"Uncle, what does selling lightning mean?" Lin Mengmeng asked innocently.
Chu Zheng's laughter stopped suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and he hesitated: "Uh! Uh! You'd better ask the old man this question!"
"Mom! I'll come back and chat!" After saying that, Chu Zheng shouted, then he carried the little man into the house.
After a while, Chu Zheng made Su Ping laugh, who was a little angry.
In the evening, after dinner, the Chu Zheng family happily watched the special program recorded by the four of them at the end of May in the living room.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the four Chu Zheng talk about some interesting stories about their time in the youth training team.
But around 8 o'clock, Mario, who was tired of traveling, came over.
After Mario had something to eat at Chu Zheng's house, he came to the living room and sat down.
Seeing that Chu Zheng and the others did not return to the room and had something to say, Chu Dong turned down the TV.
However, Lin Mengmeng protested loudly, and was brutally suppressed by her mother Chu Ling. Her butt almost stopped blooming!
Mario took out several documents from his bag and handed them to Chu Zheng, while saying: "Chu, these are your personal treatment terms initially drawn up by Manchester City Club."
When Chu Zheng took it and took a look, his brows immediately wrinkled.
Because the contract period proposed by Manchester City was 6 years, Chu Zheng raised his head and glanced at Mario, who was already chatting with Lin Meng, and then lowered his head to continue looking.
Salary: Basic weekly salary of 160,000 pounds, total pre-tax amount of 8.32 million pounds
Bonus: Win the Premier League title and receive an extra £1 million
Winning the FA Cup will receive an additional £500,000 bonus
Winning the EFL Cup will receive an additional £500,000 bonus
Winning the Europa League will receive an additional £3 million in bonuses
Goal bonus, 50,000 pounds each
Assistance bonus, £50,000/each
In addition, if Chu Zheng can play 60% of the total games in a season, he will also receive an appearance bonus of 1.42 million pounds.
If he wins the Ballon d'Or, he will receive a bonus of 416,000 pounds and an additional annual bonus of 735,000 pounds.
In addition, the prize money for the Champions League matches is also written in great detail.
Even if he fails to win the Champions League, as long as Chu Zheng leads Manchester City to the knockout rounds of the Champions League as a major player, he can still receive a corresponding level of bonus.
The bonuses at each level are considerable.
After carefully reading these bonus terms, Chu Zheng felt Manchester City's sincerity.
This attitude of throwing away money is simply arrogant, and it is just like using money as paper.
All in all, in theory, Chu Zheng's average weekly salary before tax in a year will reach more than 280,000 pounds, with an annual salary of about 15 million pounds.
Of course, this is the most ideal situation.
In addition, this fax did not mention the distribution of benefits from Chu Zheng’s portrait rights.
This kind of thing requires Mario to negotiate with words and words, and the specific decision can only be made through two-way negotiations.
Seeing Chu Zheng frowning all the time, Chu Dong and others on the sofa next to him, who knew that Chu Zheng was discussing transfer matters with Mario, also looked curious and had no intention of watching TV programs.
Only the little person Lin Mengmeng was attentive and watched with gusto.
After a while, Chu Zheng raised his head and suddenly found that his sister Chu Ling had quietly sat next to him and was looking wildly with her eyes.
Chu Zheng was happy and said with a smile: "You understand, you understand!"
After saying this, Chu Zheng immediately threw the document on Chu Ling to prevent him from being beaten.
As soon as Chu Ling's documents were obtained, Lin Guo and Chu Dong all came over.
Seeing the string of zeros on the document, Lin Gou, who was chewing an apple, was immediately petrified.
Although he couldn't read much English, he could see the pound symbols and amounts clearly.
"Top shovel! Fifty thousand pounds for one goal!" Chu Ling knew some English, and her eyes were rounded when she saw it, and she exclaimed again and again.
"If I had known that playing football was so profitable, I would have practiced it too!" Lin Gou sighed leisurely.
Then he was instantly attacked by his wife.
"Just you?" Chu Ling glanced at Lin Guo with a look of disgust, "Just that little bow-legged guy who runs like a Japanese devil and goes to the court to let others fight against the Japanese?"
"Haha!" Seeing his son-in-law's autistic expression after being beaten, Chu Dong immediately laughed with gloating.
On Chu Zheng's side, he looked at Mario and said: "The contract period is too long, it would be best to have 4 years."
"I think so too!" Mario laughed, "This is just a document of intention. Begiristan made it very clear that if you are dissatisfied, we can discuss it."
"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 be announced in July!" Mario said with a hint.
A sudden realization dawned on Chu Zheng's face. He hesitated for a moment before nodding and said, "No problem!"
Chu Zheng still knows a little bit about the things here.
Manchester City's request involves UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FPP) restrictions on European club transfers.
This Financial Fair Play Bill can be explained clearly in one sentence.
That means you spend whatever you earn.
Therefore, in the transfer war every summer, each club not only has to fight with other clubs and agents, but also with the tight curse of FPP. They must do their best to carry out the transfer market in the transfer market without violating FFP rules.
Invest.
Begiristan's request is one of the methods often used by European teams to fight against FPP.
In Chinese terms, it means transposition.
In sync with the competition system of mainstream European leagues, FFP's financial cycle is also multi-year.
The previous fiscal year ends on June 30 of each year, and the next fiscal year ends on July 1.
This fiscal year dividing line happens to be during the summer transfer window, thus giving European clubs a space to operate.
If Chu Zheng does not sign his contract until July, then he will be among the players 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 will look healthier.
This kind of time and space shuttle operation is very common in European clubs.
In addition to reducing expenses as much as possible, increasing book income is also a way for European clubs to deal with UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act.
Like making something out of nothing!
Because direct capital injections by parent companies or club owners are not allowed by UEFA.
Therefore, many clubs try to use various "sponsors" to increase the club's revenue.
Behind these high-dollar sponsorships, there are often shadows of club owners.
Just like Paris Saint-Germain, his rise is inseparable from generous sponsors.
The French tycoons spend heavily in the transfer market every year, and are always extremely lucky to receive generous sponsorships from the Middle East at critical moments.
After signing Beckham in 2013, PSG turned around and secured a super sponsorship contract from Emirates Airline.
The amount of sponsorship has skyrocketed from 4 million euros to 25 million euros per year.
This sponsorship quickly balances PSG's precarious accounts due to the high wages of stars such as Ibrahimovic, Beckham, and David Silva.
In the face of media doubts, Paris Saint-Germain said that he was wronged.
It's not his fault that others like to give him money!
Well! The logic is very clear and there is nothing wrong with it!
In addition, there are other methods such as Jin Chan Escapes, Li Dai Tao Zhi, etc. UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act is almost being played by these tyrannical clubs.
UEFA is also very troubled by this phenomenon.
It is difficult to investigate and deal with some clubs that are killing chickens and monkeys.
Because behind every club that plays wildly and unscrupulously is a group of the world's top lawyers and financial elites.
Some clubs are even backed by a kingdom, using state-owned assets.
No matter how powerful you, UEFA, are, can you still dig into other people's treasury?
Therefore, there is a saying circulating in Europe, "Perhaps the Financial Fair Play Act itself is not fair!"
