Wigan Athletic's players and members of the coaching staff were all sitting in the conference room, all with sad faces and sullen faces. When Ling Feng and Gondes walked in, the players and members of the coaching staff who had not left stood up in unison, but no one said anything.

Glancing at the personnel in the conference room, Ling Feng found that six of the main lineup had been poached, and even the stronger substitutes had been poached more than half. Now there are only 15 people in the main lineup with substitutes. The members of the coaching staff are still intact and have not left a single one.

It is not difficult to understand that when the giant team comes to poach people, they must not look down on the coaches of Wigan Athletic, as long as they can cultivate, play, and turn. Let the players with potential.

"Boss, you saw it all." Mullen sighed, "That's the case, we're ...... now There are only fifteen people left. ”

There are only fifteen players left in a club, which is no different from an amateur team. As for the remaining lineup in front of him, Ling Feng is pleased that he is most familiar with and most optimistic about the main players, they are goalkeeper Pique, striker Gondes, central defender Richie, midfielder Yokasi and midfielder Li Wei'an. It's a stump, but with five substitutes, we can still play against Watford.

"Those guys, no matter how much I try to persuade them, it's useless." Mullen added: "I called to complain, but no one paid attention to me. The day after tomorrow we have to face Watford, boss, in this situation, how do we play against Watford? You have to think of a way, you have to stop this dirty deal. ”

The eyes of the players and members of the coaching staff fell on Ling Feng, waiting for his statement.

Ling Feng thought for a moment before he spoke, "How much liquidated damages did they pay in total?" ”

"Fifteen players, a few clubs who came to dig corners, paid a total of £30 million in liquidated damages. And the clubs that come to poach almost all offer them double their current annual salary, a million pounds a year. A few of the main players are higher, and a few of the substitutes are lower. "Mullen is well aware of the situation.

Liquidated damages are to ensure the execution and completion of the contract signed between the club and the player, so such a contract usually has a penalty liquidated damages. After Ling Feng took over Wigan Athletic, he raised the player's salary a bit, and also raised the liquidated damages to an average of around £2 million, which is in line with the amount Mullen said.

"Boss, you really have to think of a way, and quickly." Mullen said anxiously.

Ling Feng said: "They are willing to pay liquidated damages and leave, I can't call them back again, and I don't need to." Those who are gone, they can abandon us today, tomorrow, even if I spend more money to get them back, then what's the use? After a pause, he looked at the players and asked, "Do you believe that you can win against Watford in your own strength, or do you not believe in my ability to win against Watford?" ”

No one answered Ling Feng's question, but in their hearts, Ling Feng's strength was absolutely nothing to say, they absolutely believed it, but half of the main force was poached, and the customary tactical system could not be implemented, could Ling Feng carry the entire team with his own strength? This was doubtful, but in front of Ling Feng, they didn't dare to say it.

The subtle changes in the players' expressions could not escape Ling Feng's eyes, and he had already thought of a countermeasure, "I will play in person in the game against Watford the day after tomorrow, are you confident that you can win the game with me?" ”

The players nodded slowly, not reacting positively.

Ling Feng said with a smile: "Okay, the people who can stay here are all people who have feelings for Wigan Athletic, as the boss of Wigan Athletic, of course I will not live up to your feelings." Tonight, let's re-sign your contract, and from now on, your annual salary will be doubled. If you break into the top 10 of the Premier League next year, I'm doubling your job, if you finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League, I'm going to double it again, and if you win the Premier League, I'm going to double it. ”

Ling Feng finished speaking, but the players and members of the coaching staff were still stunned, all of them looked dumbfounded, and the conference room was also very quiet.

That's right, Ling Feng's left bite doubled, the right one doubled, and finally promised that after winning the championship, one person would be rewarded with five million pounds! It's all glittering pounds!

Take Wigan Athletic's Zhengyin striker Gangdes as an example, his current annual salary is 500,000 pounds, and Ling Feng directly tripled him, so his annual salary is 2 million pounds. If he breaks into the top 10 in the Premier League next year, his annual salary will reach £4 million. If he qualifies for the Champions League in the top four, he will earn £8 million a year. If he wins the Premier League, his annual salary plus prize money will reach 15 million pounds!

Can a striker with an annual salary of only £500,000 suddenly have the opportunity to earn £15 million?

This is how Gondes's account is calculated, and even if it is a substitute for Wigan Athletic, with such a double of the current annual salary, it is still an annual income of seven or eight million pounds!

This kind of income is very high in the Premier League, not to mention the players in the Championship who have always been looked down upon!

"Coach Mullen, you and the members of the coaching staff are the same. Okay, I'm done, do you guys have anything else to add? Ling Feng asked again.

"Long live the boss!" Gangdes finally couldn't contain the ecstasy in his heart, and cheered loudly.

The originally quiet conference room exploded all at once.

The atmosphere came out, and the passion of the players and members of the coaching staff was also mobilized, Ling Feng's heart breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and he waited until they had enough to talk before he spoke out again: "Everyone, be quiet, in view of what happened today, I think my side has increased your salary, so the liquidated damages should also be increased accordingly, and the multiple is the same as your salary increase, do you have any opinions?" ”

Gangdes' current liquidated damages are three million pounds, and according to the multiplier that Ling Feng just said, it will be a terrifying forty-eight million pounds! This is already the transfer fee of the Premier League's first-class big stars.

"No problem, boss, we're not going anywhere, we didn't leave today, and we won't leave in the future, we'll follow you!" Gangdes said excitedly.

"I'm not leaving! I agree! ”

"I agree with ...... too"

Outside the door of the conference room, Gatosha couldn't help but whisper to Vivian next to her, "It's too terrible for Ling to spend money like this, right?" That's the pound, is there a salary increase like this? ”

Vivien glanced at Gatosha disdainfully, "What do you know?" This is English football, the most money-burning sport in the world, which only billionaires can afford. Also, don't look at Ling's lavish spending, you don't know how smart and cunning he is, he can find a way back with the money he spends, and he comes back with his family. ”

Gatosha smiled bitterly, she didn't say anything, but she knew that what Vivien said was true, at least she hadn't seen Ling Feng make a money-losing deal. It's like doing business, it's the same with other things, and it's really harder to take advantage of him than to climb to the sky. On the surface, he is generously giving the players a salary increase, but the money he spends on the players will earn him more money back!

Other clubs often burn money by buying players in the transfer market with hundreds of millions of dollars, but Ling Feng has his own means of cultivating stars, and he makes stars by himself, just by virtue of this, Wigan Athletic stands on the profit model!

It took half an hour for Ling Feng to come out of the conference room, and he didn't need to operate the matter of signing the contract, the Goddess Group had a professional team of lawyers, and they would do it for him.

The players and members of the coaching staff also left the room, and a lot of people were talking about the players who had left, calling them fools. Yes, if it weren't for the fools who dreamed of getting a place at the big clubs and left Wigan Athletic, how would they get the immediate benefits?

But just after Ling Feng whispered a few words to Mullen, asking Mullen to find a few British players between the ages of eighteen and twenty, his mobile phone rang.

It was actually Cindy Kraser who called, which surprised him.

Looking at Xiandi's number, Ling Feng's heart couldn't help but feel a wave of anger, he didn't want to answer her call, so he cut it off directly.

Jingle bells, jingle bells......

The phone rang again, and it was still Cindy Creser's.

This time, Ling Feng slid the answer button and said angrily, "What are you calling for now?" ”

"I'm sorry, Ling, I'm really sorry......" Xiandi apologized on the phone, her voice full of guilt, "Ling, please accept my apology." ”

"Humph!" Ling Feng snorted coldly, this was his answer.

"Ling, I know you're angry, I called this time to explain to you." "Manchester United also have several shareholders, and they unanimously want to do this, and I can't stop it," said Cindy. I couldn't convince my father and my brother either. ”

"Are you finished? After that, I hung up. Ling Feng didn't mean to forgive her.

"Hey, I know you won't forgive me, but I still want to sue you, this is someone operating in the shadows, although I don't know the identity of that person, but I believe that person must be very powerful, you have to be careful. You Chinese are not very problematic in doing business in the UK, but football is a very important part of the UK, especially xenophobia...... Be careful. Xian Di finished speaking, but she didn't hang up, she seemed to want to hear Ling Feng say something very badly.

Ling Feng was silent for a moment before saying, "Since this matter has nothing to do with you, I don't blame you, if you know who the mastermind behind the scenes is, please sue me, if it's inconvenient, give me a hint." ”

"I will, so will you forgive me?" There was finally a hint of joy in Sendy's voice.

"Well, well, I'm fine. Since this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to apologize to me. That's it, goodbye. After saying that, Ling Feng hung up the phone.

Manchester United came to poach him, Xiandi didn't even tell him, and only called to apologize afterwards, if he could forgive her, then Ling Feng would feel that he was a slut. On the surface, he didn't care, but that was because he was still counting on digging up more valuable information from Cindy's body.

Xiandi's call also made Ling Feng fall into deep thought, "Several wealthy families came to me to poach people, this will definitely not be a coincidence, so who instructed it?" Who has so much energy to let several giants of the Premier League come to me to poach people at one time? Don't...... Is it the Queen of England? I'm dizzy, is this possible? ”

This sudden speculation startled Ling Feng himself.
