Chapter Twenty-Nine: Rich!
After the Chinese players returned to the lounge, they didn't care about their physical fatigue and didn't play carefully with the gold medal they had won with all their might, but immediately discussed how to spend the prize money.
What sustains them to the end today is not some firm belief or any desire for honor, but a lot of small money!
Without that 10% prize money as an incentive, Wu Jie felt that there was a high probability that he would lose to Kuwait in today's game.
"I'm going to buy a color TV to take home! Also buy a refrigerator! ”
Gu Guangming has long been eyeing the color TVs in Hong Kong stores, and those latest models of Sony color TVs are not available in China.
"Just watch it on TV in black and white, I want to save the money and use it after I get married."
Shen Xiangfu plans to buy a domestic black-and-white TV, and save the rest of the money for his future wife, which looks very useless at first glance.
"I don't even know what to do with so much money!"
Chi Shangbin shook his head, he didn't know what to do with this huge amount of money at all.
The same is true for many players, and the biggest motivation before winning the championship is these bonuses.
But now that they have won the championship, they don't know what to spend this huge amount of money that adds up to more than 3,000 US dollars!
Of course, they don't know that the prize money they receive may not be US dollars.
Wu Jie felt that if he was a sports official, he would definitely be kind enough to help the players directly convert it into RMB that can be used in China.
"Xiaojie, your golden boot is gone, and the best player must be you, these add up to at least 20,000 US dollars, how do you plan to spend this money?"
Rong Zhixing asked the question that everyone was most interested in, the bonus they got was already a huge amount of money, but compared to Wu Jie, it was a big deal.
But they don't feel that Wu Jie is not worthy of these bonuses, because a large part of their bonuses are also stained with Wu Jie's light.
What was Wu Jie's achievements in the Chinese team before he joined, and what his achievements were after joining, everyone knows this.
"I want to buy a piano and a guitar, then buy some clothes and household appliances for my family, and save the rest of the money to maybe open a football school in the future!"
Wu Jie is not talking nonsense, the real La Masia Football School was only established last year, and he could have established a top youth school in China in the 80s.
This may not be mature in a year or two, and many of the ideas are not realistic for the time being.
But even if it is not too late to wait until 84 years later, he is confident that he will build a La Masia belonging to China, which will be called "Demacia" at that time!
As for the piano and guitar, of course, he wants to teach himself music and then make money from it!
Most of his salary to play in Europe in the future will definitely be handed over to the country, and if there is no other means of making money, where will he have the money to do what he wants?
This system has a complete internet backup, all internet data up to 2020 is searchable, and you can even download music and movies for entertainment.
The movie is forgotten, but the music can be copied, and this thing does not take much effort.
The dual character of super football genius + super music genius, he is afraid that he will become popular to the sky.
When the teammates heard Wu Jie's words, they had to sigh that the genius's brain is different from ordinary people, and they actually want to buy a piano and a guitar, is this to play music?
Also, he wants to open a football school, which is something he has never heard of.
Su Yongshun chatted with Wu Jie about the football school, but Wu Jie couldn't say his thoughts yet, and he couldn't talk anymore if he couldn't talk a few words.
This made Su Yongshun think that opening a football school was just an absurd idea he came up with on a whim, so he stopped chatting with him deeply.
After the group took a shower, changed their clothes, and discussed, it was almost time to go to the post-game press conference.
One of the two deputy leaders of the Chinese team led the team to the press conference, and the other was responsible for receiving bonuses from the organizers.
Now that the Golden Boot and the champion are out, there are a lot of bonuses to be claimed for these two alone.
This money is of course a drop in the bucket for China, but it is a huge amount of money for the sports department and the Football Association!
At the post-match press conference, hundreds of journalists from all over Asia came this time.
What interests them most is not the Chinese team winning the championship, but the dramatic process of the game.
If one were to evaluate one of the darkest pages in football history, tonight's game should be a strong contender.
Su Yongshun appeared restrained in answering such questions, although he expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the referee's enforcement tonight and the foul of the Kuwaiti players who violated their professional ethics.
But after the catastrophic experience, he played Tai Chi Kung Fu well, and his words were not very aggressive.
This disappointed the reporters and turned their eyes to Wu Jie.
"It's still this kid who has energy!"
This is everyone's voice, so a reporter from Singapore took the lead in asking Wu Jie: "This is your first championship, but the process must have made you feel very angry, do you have anything to say about this match?" ”
Wu Jie is an inspirational figure who will become the first brother of the body department in the future, and immediately replied with a smile: "Champions have the courage to keep turning the page, because they know that the next chapter will be better." ”
This kind of answer obviously did not satisfy everyone, and the Singaporean reporter simply asked: "So what do you think of today's referee and opponent?" ”
Wu Jie was a little more serious and said: "My evaluation is very simple, if you can't win, then you will lose like a champion, because elegant and decent defeat is always better than a dirty and immoral victory." ”
This answer finally made the reporters excited, and this is what they wanted!
But everyone still felt that the taste was a little light, and after a neon reporter got the opportunity to ask a question, he asked again: "We all know that at the end of the game, the referee on duty made the most ridiculous decision in football history, do you have anything to say about the red card you got?" ”
Wu Jie shrugged his shoulders and said, "The more rational a person is, the more irrational he is, and the more ridiculous he is, the less ridiculous he is." In fact, both of us have been prepared, but unfortunately some people did not keep the bottom line on the football field after all! ”
This answer can be regarded as exciting, and the reporters on the scene raised their hands to ask him to add some more ingredients, please be salty, okay.
Wu Jie stopped at the point, he wouldn't be stupid to say it so bluntly, can a stupid boy be the first brother of the body?
He knew that the Kuwaitis would definitely not be pleasing in this game, including the Soviet referee, and the performance of both of them definitely crossed the FIFA tolerance line.
So he just complains appropriately, the Chinese Football Association will definitely file a complaint with FIFA, and the Kuwait team and the Soviet referee will soon get a penalty from FIFA.
At this time, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency asked the last question: "After the Asian Cup, it will be the World Cup qualifiers soon, are you ready for a new journey?" ”
Wu Jie smiled: "Of course I'm ready, I think there is only one way to success, and that is to prepare, prepare, prepare, and then go with the flow." ”
In this press conference, Wu Jie's performance was obviously much better, because there were a lot less things that were too aggressive.
He also understands that it is difficult for China to accept idols who are too out-of-the-box and too arrogant in this era, so he needs to properly suppress his speech to adapt to this era.
The next day, the tournament organizers announced the "Best Player", "Best Goalkeeper" and "Best Team"!
Wu Jie's name naturally appeared on the "Best Player" award, which was originally awarded to the best player in the championship team, and he scored a total of 18 goals in the main game, which directly more than doubled the highest number of goals in the Asian Cup, and this award cannot be awarded to others.
The "best goalkeeper" was awarded to the goalkeeper of Kuwait, but in fact, Li Fusheng's performance was significantly better, and the Chinese team only conceded three goals until the final.
Naturally, there were many Chinese players on the "best team", Wu Jie, Gu Guangming, Shen Xiangfu, Rong Zhixing, and Chi Shangbin were all selected for the best team.
At this time, it is time to calculate the small money, the prize money for the Asian Cup champion is 200,000 US dollars, and after double, it is 400,000 yuan.
The "Best Player" and "Golden Boot" were originally 50,000 US dollars, but after doubled to 100,000, they add up to 200,000.
The "best team" was originally $10,000 per person, but after doubled, it became $20,000, and the five people selected were $100,000.
This means that the Chinese team has received a total of 700,000 US dollars in this Asian Cup trip, of which Wu Jie has won 220,000 US dollars.
Of the $400,000 championship reward, 40% will be handed over to the sports department, 40% will be handed over to the Football Association, and the remaining 70% of the remaining 20% will be divided equally by the players, so that each player can get 2,540 US dollars.
Forty percent of the individual rewards should be handed over to the sports department, three percent should be handed over to the Football Association, one percent of the players themselves will be obtained, one percent will be handed over to the team, and the last half will be given to teammates and coaching staff.
Their entire coaching staff, plus the team leader, and 22 players, is 36 in total.
In this way, Gu Guangming, Shen Xiangfu, Chi Shangbin, and Rong Zhixing can get more than $5,000, the rest of the players can get more than $3,000, and the coaching staff and team leaders can also get more than $3,000.
Of course, Wu Jie got the most, and he could get a total of $25,000 in rewards.
This is 25,000 US dollars in 1980, which is enough to buy a two-bedroom apartment in the mid-range area of Hong Kong.
But the team leader soon brought them good news, and each of them approved a foreign exchange limit of 1,000 US dollars.
This also means that most of their winnings will be exchanged for RMB for free, and cannot be spent entirely in Hong Kong, saving them from squandering their hard-earned winnings.
Wu Jie is a little painful, which naturally means that the country still collects most of the foreign exchange.
But considering the scarcity of domestic foreign exchange during this period, he is not unbearable, and the future first brother of the body must have this awareness.
There was just a problem, he wanted to buy a piano and a guitar, and he had asked about the prices of these two things in Hong Kong.
In this era, the mid-range brand piano is about 2000 Hong Kong dollars to 3000 Hong Kong dollars, and the guitar is 500-1000 Hong Kong dollars.
A thousand dollars is enough, of course, but if you want to buy more household appliances and clothes, it is not enough.
So he could only ask the team leader to apply to see if he could be accommodating, give the future first brother of the sports department some face, and apply for a foreign exchange quota of 2,000 US dollars.
