112. Normality
Body 112
For Zolin, good news and bad news come hand in hand. Under the shadow of the super good news of Sun Digui's return, it seems that other things are not too big.
What caused a lot of reaction in the outside world was that Zuo Lin was suspended by the Football Association for 3 months. However, Nike immediately announced that Zuo Lin's plan to participate in the sports carnival at the end of the year remained unchanged, and Sang Shilin and Gu Mingyuan filed a lawsuit against the Football Association after summing it up. Although it was inconvenient for Shenbao Football Club to participate in this matter, so as not to be wearing small shoes in the future, it gave Gu Mingyuan great convenience in collecting evidence. There are very good grounds for filing a lawsuit:
1. Wulin was allowed to enjoy the vacation by the club during the league off-season, and it was only natural that when he left, the national team did not announce the list of the new national team, and there was no problem in violating the regulations of the Football Association and the regulations governing the national team.
2. There is no statutory law for the selection and management of the members of the national team. The national teams convened every year only sign a three-month to six-month management regulation and a contract for the distribution of portrait rights. In normal times, the national team coaching staff does not have any obligations for the players' matches and training. The current Zuo Lin, the national team contracts have ended, before the new contract is signed, do not bear the responsibility of the national team's games and training, the national team coaching staff and the Football Association have no right to dictate Zuo Lin's behavior outside the national team.
3. In the process of enjoying the holiday, Zuo Lin did not have any behavior that violated the sports ethics of professional athletes. The proof of this is the photographs taken by Zuo Lin when he went deep into the Zangbu Padang Waterfalls. No one had been able to go deep into this core area until now, and this series of photographs is unique and worthy of expert scrutiny.
Fourth, when the national team's record is unfavorable and there is no clear evidence and no laws and regulations to support it, punishing the players is an act of anger and diverting attention, and Zuo Lin will never pay for such behavior.
When Gu Mingyuan submitted the lawsuit in a very high-profile manner and released the news, many people's faces were very sad. The Football Association and the league management committee have always decided to punish players, but everyone has all kinds of concerns and does not put this matter on the table. Revoking the ban on Zuo Lin would be a slap in the face. But if this lawsuit is fought in the Beijing Intermediate People's Court, if you don't use private means, the legal counsel of the Football Association has already made it clear that you can't win the lawsuit. As for Zuolin's advertising partners, including Nike, they have made their position clear with practical actions. Although he was banned, the implementation of all endorsement contracts was not hindered in any way, and even the banned Zuolin should have more time to cooperate with them to participate in various promotional activities.
Only out-of-court settlement can reach a way that will make the Football Association lose face. The terms of the compromise between the two parties that let Zuolin get the benefits. As for the future, the Football Association can only hope that Zuo Lin is not really prepared to stay in the domestic league and go to play in the five major leagues as soon as possible. And just as the Football Association was preparing to mediate through the Shenbao Club, the statement of the Shenbao Football Club made the Football Association officials almost vomit blood.
After returning to Shanghai, Zuo Lin asked Gu Mingyuan to come forward and terminate the contract with the Shen Leopard team, and paid the liquidated damages of 15 million yuan for 5 years at one time. From that moment on, Zolin was a free agent. In place of the original contract is a "mercenary" contract with 15 appearances in the second half of the season, which spells out the responsibility of being a goalkeeper and never allowing opponents to score. The club no longer manages Zorin's training. No longer pay daily salary expenses, pay 100,000 yuan per game, and enjoy the same winning bonus as official players. The league does not have a clear regulation of such contracts, and in fact, such contracts can be concluded through various reasonable and legal agreements, and they cannot be regulated. The Shenbao team has nothing to lose, and the 15 million liquidated damages have allowed the club to occupy a favorable position in the transfer market during the season, and even in the transfer market next year, and what is lost is only the management of Zuo Lin and the convenience of putting Zuo Lin in the front court. In the second half of the season, the Shenbao team will play more than 20 league games and FA Cup plus Asian matches, and there are 15 games for Zuo Lin to guard the goal, which is enough to ensure that they get the record they want. Not to mention the fact that Zolin's "mercenary" contract actually reduced the club's expenses on Zolin's wages and bonuses.
It is a good indication for a player to come up with 15 million liquidated damages at once. Zuo Lin stayed in the field of football, it was completely a ticket, money or something, it was nothing to him. When several officials of the Football Association later reported that Zuo Lin frequently appeared at the banquet of a group of old people from families who were now gathered in Shanghai to drink and mess around, their hearts were even more suspended. But the officials of the Football Association couldn't touch Zuo Lin at all, knowing that Zuo Lin's apartment was on Julu Road, but he was blocked outside several times and disappeared. found Gu Mingyuan and proposed an out-of-court settlement, but he was directly sent away. Gu Mingyuan also made it very clear that the settlement is often because the parties to the litigation have what the other party wants, and they can reach an agreement in a non-litigation way. But now, what does the Football Association have in its hands? Zuo Lin is not uncommon in playing football, does not care about money, has the advantage of legal theory, has sufficient evidence, and has positive attention from the media, what does the Football Association have? Either revoke the ban and apologize publicly, or see you in court. And Gu Mingyuan also said very lightly, don't expect to do things behind your back, Zuo Lin is not afraid of this. If you want to do something, let's come together, and when the time comes, the Football Association will not be able to get off the stage, let alone him, Gu Mingyuan did not remind him.
For this kind of condescending out-of-court contact, Gu Mingyuan is not averse. It is quite rare for a lawyer to be able to be in such a position. Forcing the other party to give up super-technical means by force, all but fighting with the letter of the law and their understanding of the text, this is the job that a lawyer likes. Of course, Gu Mingyuan also intends to fight such a lawsuit, and recently, Zuo Lin and Zhang Ling have talked to him, hoping that he can come to preside over a series of business affairs for Zuo Lin in the development of biological products. Although Gu Mingyuan is a lawyer, he still has a certain understanding of business operations after being involved in economic lawsuits all year round. He has made a lot of efforts in economics, management and other related disciplines, and as a lawyer, his understanding of economic regulations and policies is better than that of ordinary people. For a company, a person like Gu Mingyuan who changed jobs halfway may not be the best choice, but Zuo Lin said it very truthfully: professional managers can be invited, but the problem is that people who don't know can't believe it. The business in his hand has already involved the supply of drugs from the National Security, the Military and the Special Affairs Bureau, and the future development is also based on professionalism and practicality, and the marketing can be handed over to a more professional advertising company marketing company, but there must be a person who has been with each other for a certain amount of time and has trust and understanding between each other to take care of it. Gu Mingyuan is a lawyer, and being a good lawyer is his chosen job, not that he doesn't love the law, but under this love, he has more practical considerations for firewood, rice, oil and salt. After careful consideration, he had already given up his partner status at Tianming Law Firm and accepted the position offered to him by Zuo Lin. After the lawsuit with the Football Association is settled, he will become the manager and operator of a series of industries under Zuo Lin's name as a lawyer, and Zhang Ling will pay more attention to the field of finance and investment.
For Zuo Lin, this may also be good news. However, this is not as comfortable as the college entrance examination results. In the college entrance examination that he has been preparing for for more than a year, Zuo Lin's results have reached the first batch of undergraduate pitch lines. This achievement has made countless people smash their glasses. Originally, because of Zuo Lin's special status, it was a gold-plated thing to find a university to study, even if he didn't take the exam, the university would happily accept him as some kind of show-off capital. But when Zuo Lin really got a pretty good score that everyone didn't expect, everyone was a little caught off guard. This result can show that Zuo Lin has indeed worked his homework, and he is not putting on a show as he originally imagined. So, for a student who doesn't put on a show, what should he do when he gets into school? Is it to admit according to Zuo Lin's wishes or to discuss with the high recruitment office to make a special case to deal with?
Naturally, these disputes would not fall into Zuo Lin's ears. Originally, Zuo Lin, who had already wanted to give up the idea of going to university because he had too many things in hand, was still struggling whether to study according to the original plan. The thick stack of degree certificates that Sun Digui was carrying was quite amazing, which made Zuo Lin very envious. But Sun Digui didn't think it made sense for Zuo Lin to study for a lot of degrees. At that time, Sun Digui was to understand the world in all aspects, to understand the science and technology, history, economy, military and culture of various countries, and now, all kinds of situations can be understood through the Internet. Now Zuo Lin needs to study in some fields, and this ability to study is not something that university education can bring him. It is better to set up a few professional laboratories with your own mind, and then follow those scientific researchers who have the ability and ideas to organize experiments and learn relevant knowledge at the same time. As a result, the significance of the college entrance examination results to Zuo Lin was quickly reduced to a symbolic level.
There is good news and bad news, and they are entangled with each other, perhaps, it is the normal state of life. Although all kinds of news are mixed together to make Zuo Lin's exposure in various media during this period of time quite low, Zuo Lin has no intention of falling into it. As usual, he spent a lot of time in his apartment on Julu Road every day, reading, reading notes, and cultivating. After the old gentlemen finally had enough trouble and began to deliberately put some mutual cooperation on the table, Zuo Lin was also dragged by Sun Digui to participate. Because Yan Beizhai followed Sun Digui all day long, all the organization of the wedding was thrown to his two sons, and Ye Yilan's relatives came to Shanghai, and the reception work actually fell to Zuo Lin. Even, Yan Hokusai handed over the decision of some businesses of Shennong Group to Zuo Lin, and Han Li, who knew that he was not thinking about business for a while, had to smile bitterly and show Zuo Lin a bunch of documents every day. Han Li knows some of Yan Beisai's thoughts, Yan Beizhai is clearly preparing to hand over the Shennong Group to Zuo Lin gradually, and the wedding and even the honeymoon in the future are the reasons, this time Sun Digui went out of the mountain to provoke these ancestors, just let Yan Beizhai advance this plan a little.
