Chapter 181 The World's No. 1 Highest Salary
After the third round of the top 10 match with Iran, the Chinese team topped the Group A standings with 9 points, South Korea and Iran were in second and third place with 3 points, and Uzbekistan and Lebanon were in the bottom two with only 1 point.
After playing this round of the top 10 matches, the national team's competition has come to an end for the time being, and the next step is the training camp of the national Olympic team, and then participate in the London Olympics with the national Olympic team.
Although with Cheng Hai's level and strength, participating in the U23 Olympic men's football competition is a bit of a cannon to fight mosquitoes and overkill, but Chinese football has been weak for a long time, although it won an Asian Cup, it is far from enough.
Therefore, whether it is the Football Association, fans, the media, or Cheng Hai himself, they all hope that the national Olympic team can make a breakthrough in the London Olympics, and if they can win the championship, it will be a great joy.
You must know that the Japanese women's football team has already won the World Cup, and it is also an East Asian country, and Chinese fans have long been envious.
Although the Olympic champion is far less valuable than the World Cup, it is still a world champion after all.
If Cheng Hai can lead the current Olympic team to win the Olympic championship, it will undoubtedly play a very important role in promoting the development of Chinese football.
This is Cheng Hai's unshirkable responsibility and obligation as a football player to promote the vigorous development of football in his country.
What's more, Cheng Hai has just turned 20 years old, and he is a player of the Olympic age to participate in the Olympic Games, and it is natural that he should come to participate in the Olympic Games, and no one can say that Cheng Hai should not participate in the Olympic Games.
Of course, the Olympics don't start until late July, and even if there will be a period of intensive training, there will be a period of vacation between the third round of the top 10 and the training camp of the national Olympic team.
Not only Cheng Hai, but also Zhang Linpeng and other players who participate in both the national football team and the National Olympic Games need to take a vacation.
It was during this holiday that Cheng Hai solved the issue of renewing his contract with Borussia Dortmund.
After Cheng Hai's god-like performances in the three World Qualifiers, Dortmund and Baker finally made some concessions and finally reached a unanimous agreement on the renewal of their contracts.
A week after the top 10 match with Iran, Borussia Dortmund announced that they would hold a press conference at 15:00 on June 20, 2012 to announce the results of the contract renewal negotiations with their number one star Cheng Hai.
Needless to say, this must be a successful contract renewal, otherwise what kind of press conference will be held, it is something that is done only when there is a problem.
After the news came out, the whole of Europe was boiling, and those super wealthy executives who were bound to win Cheng Hai beat their chests and were annoyed.
Dortmund fans were as excited as a holiday, and tens of thousands of Hornet diehard fans pulled banners supporting the club or Cheng Hai, held portraits of Cheng Hai, and wore jerseys with Cheng Hai's name and number printed on them, and ran outside the building where the Dortmund press conference was located on the day of the press conference on June 20 to express their support.
In the afternoon of the same day, at a press conference, in front of many media reporters and representatives of several fan organizations, Cheng Hai and the club's chairman Laubar signed the contract, announcing that Cheng Hai's contract with Dortmund Club was successfully renewed.
On the renewal of the new contract, Cheng Hai signed a four-year contract with Dortmund FC, with an annual salary of 26 million euros after tax, with an annual increase of 5% during the contract period.
In addition, the penalty will be increased to EUR 200 million, effective July 1, 2013.
Generally speaking, the annual salary and liquidated damages club are kept secret, and only the media can dig up, or guess.
But this time is different, Dortmund needs to use Cheng Hai's contract renewal and annual salary figures to increase exposure and attractiveness, so Dortmund took the initiative to announce it at the press conference.
When Cheng Hai's annual salary of 26 million euros and 200 million liquidated damages popped up, the audience was in an uproar.
The annual salary of 26 million euros after tax is more than twice the 12 million of Ronaldo, the highest salary in the previous five major leagues, and 5.5 million more than the 20.5 million euros of Anzhi Eto'o, the world's first annual salary, which is now the highest salary in world football.
Cheng Hai hasn't won a Golden Globe Award!
Although everyone thinks that this year's FIFA Golden Globe Awards will not be left behind, after all, he has not yet gotten his hands, and Cheng Hai is not Mr. Golden Globe at this time!
Dortmund offered Cheng Hai such a high annual salary of the world's first year, which shows how much money the club has invested in order to keep Cheng Hai and hit the six crowns in 2012 and the six crowns in the next season.
Now, there will never be any fans of Cheng Hai who stand up and say that the salary that Dortmund gave Cheng Hai is not worthy of Cheng Hai's strength and status, as well as his contribution to Dortmund.
With an annual salary of 26 million after tax, according to Germany's ultra-high personal income tax rate, Dortmund needs to pay a pre-tax salary of more than 44 million.
Last season, Dortmund reached the Champions League final and won the championship, and the prize money was only 60 million.
Originally, this was a considerable amount of income, and it was also the money motivation for the major European leagues to fight hard in the league for Champions League qualification.
As a result, now Cheng Hai's annual salary and bonuses after tax are combined, I am afraid that all the bonuses that Dortmund have worked hard to play in the Champions League for a season until they win the championship will be exhausted, and even if there is a surplus, I am afraid there is not much left.
If you don't know, these 60 million are not enough.
Because, according to Cheng Hai's goal efficiency, Dortmund's appearance fee, goal award, and championship award in addition to the fixed salary next season are also astronomical.
It is equivalent to Dortmund playing the Champions League to work for Cheng Hai, and the salaries and bonuses of other players, the club has to go elsewhere to earn money to pay, which is terrifying enough to think about.
Fortunately, there are also radio and television broadcast revenues and other advertising revenues, tickets, and fan supplies, otherwise, with Dortmund's heritage, it will definitely not be able to support it. Even so, offering such a high salary to Cheng Hai is definitely a loss financially for Dortmund, just to see the prospect of Cheng Hai helping the team win the championship.
Like Chelsea owner Abou's philosophy, for the sake of the title, you have to lose money.
This high salary shocked the reporters and fans at the scene.
However, the 200 million liquidated damages make people feel low.
Because, Ronaldo's transfer fee in 2009 was close to 100 million, but he has not brought a Champions League to Real Madrid.
As for Cheng Hai, it is said that Chelsea has offered a transfer fee of 200 million euros, but Dortmund did not agree.
In other words, according to this year's market, Cheng Hai will be able to sell 200 million.
If Cheng Hai wins the Golden Ball Award at the end of the year, really leads the team to complete the six-crown championship and successfully defends the Champions League next year, then Cheng Hai's worth will definitely be more than 200 million.
This liquidated damages, in terms of Cheng Hai's strength today, are a bit low, and next year Cheng Hai will definitely be directly taken away by other clubs with the amount of this liquidated damages, and Dortmund will not earn more than 200 million transfer fees.
In fact, Laubar and other club leaders are suffering and can't say it.
As far as this condition is concerned, it was not easy to negotiate.
Baker's conditions for Cheng Hai are an annual salary of 30 million and liquidated damages of 150 million. The conditions that Dortmund began to put forward were an annual salary of 15 million and liquidated damages of 300 million.
The gap between the two sides was very large at the beginning.
With the big European giants in the outside world, the pressure on Dortmund FC, which wants to complete the annual six-crown fetty, has doubled.
Coupled with Cheng Hai's performance in the three world preliminaries, as well as Beck's slight concession, Dortmund finally compromised and signed a contract with an annual salary of 26 million and 20,000 euros.
It is this condition, according to Cheng Hai, that he signed this contract because Dortmund is where he debuted and has feelings for Dortmund.
Otherwise, the annual salary of 30 million will not be less.
Of course, for Borussia Dortmund, this contract is not a loss.
After signing Cheng Hai, although the annual salary and bonus expenditure figures are very large, Cheng Hai's existence will definitely help Dortmund achieve better results, and attract more attention from fans all over the world, especially Chinese fans, and will definitely gain huge gains in terms of brand value enhancement, fan supplies sales, and overseas radio and television broadcast sharing.
In addition, next summer, Dortmund will also definitely receive a transfer fee of 200 million euros from Cheng Hai's transfer.
This is definitely a windfall for the Dortmund club, which signed Cheng Hai for free.
As long as they survive the 2012/2013 season, Borussia Dortmund will be the richest club in European football in terms of transfer budget in the summer of 2013.
In the matter of signing Cheng Hai, a million profits are not enough to describe the gains of Dortmund club.
Therefore, the scout Emory who signed Cheng Hai at the beginning is no longer an ordinary scout who is running around, but the deputy manager of the scouting department, in charge of overseas scouting and youth player excavation.
In addition to this, the bonuses are also quite numerous.
It is really a person who has attained the Tao and a chicken and dog ascended to heaven!
After Cheng Hai signed the contract with the president of the club and took a group photo with the new jersey for next season, when the press conference announced that he could ask questions, all the reporters in the audience raised their hands in unison.
Some reporters can't even wait to be named and throw out the question.
However, Cheng Hai naturally did not answer this kind of unruly reporter's question, and the press officer did not pay attention to it, but named other well-behaved reporters.
Reporter: "Cheng Hai, the world's first annual salary of 26 million is more than twice the annual salary of Ronaldo, who set a world transfer fee record, do you think you are worth the price?" ”
Cheng Hai: "This is the result of a negotiation between my agent and the club's management, and this is the club's recognition of me, and they think I am worth the salary. ”
This is a decent answer, and the reporters in the audience were slightly disappointed: there is no news breaking point!
Who knows, Cheng Hai followed closely: "However, I think that my strength far exceeds this salary, and Dortmund uses this salary to renew my contract, which is definitely worth the money." It was also because of my feelings for Borussia Dortmund that I agreed to renew my contract with this salary. Otherwise, without an annual salary of 30 million, I don't have to think about it at all. In the coming year, I will let you know what a good deal President Raubal has done. ”
As soon as Cheng Hai's words were finished, the audience was shocked!
No one expected that Cheng Hai, a Chinese player who has always been low-key and humble, would say such a domineering declaration, without the modesty of Chinese people at all.
Of course, for journalists, this is the best.
Because they have news to write about.
The reporters immediately continued to ask: "Then why did you agree to 200 million euros in liquidated damages?" Don't you think this number is not worthy of your strength at all? ”
Laubar's face is green, this reporter is looking down on him!
Think 200 million euros is Chinese cabbage? Can anyone take it?
Then, I listened to Cheng Haidao: "This is the result of our discussions with the club, and we agreed that this liquidated damages are enough, and there is no need for more." ”
In fact, everyone understands that this is to set the liquidated damages a little lower, and there can be a few more clubs that have the financial resources to attract Cheng Hai, and Cheng Hai can have the qualifications to choose and negotiate conditions in his annual salary.
This liquidated damages are quite beneficial to Cheng Hai, but it is not easy to say it directly at this press conference.
……
The press conference lasted for more than an hour, and after the meeting, Cheng Hai signed autographs and photos of hundreds of die-hard fans who came to support him in front of the building for more than two hours before leaving by car.
The outside world has already swiped the front page headlines of the media around the world because of Cheng Hai's contract renewal.
Last year, Cheng Hai had not won the Champions League, and everyone can still say that the League Cup is weak, and the gold content is not as good as the Champions League.
The FIFA Ballon d'Or also awarded last year's Ballon d'Or to Messi for this reason, rather than to Cheng Hai, who staged the miracle of 152 goals of the year.
But this year, Cheng Hai led Dortmund all the way to Arsenal, AC Milan, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Barcelona to win the Champions League, and set a treble and a season record of 24 goals.
From the moment the Champions League final ended, Cheng Hai had undoubtedly become the first person in world football today.
That doesn't change just because he hasn't won the FIFA Ballon d'Or yet, or that he's only 20 years old.
That's just the way it is.
And Dortmund's salary of 26 million euros for Cheng Hai is also a strong proof of this.
"Cheng Hai and Dortmund successfully renewed their contract, and the annual salary of 26 million is the highest salary in world football!" 》
"26 million annual salary renewal of Dortmund, Cheng Hai has firmly sat on the throne of the world's number one superstar! 》
"Renewing the contract with Dortmund with an annual salary of 26 million to become the world's first person, Cheng Hai believes that his strength is more than worth so much! 》
"Dortmund's 26 million annual salary renews Cheng Hai, Cheng Hai said that this is a friendship price, and Dortmund has made a lot of money. 》
"The latest news, Dortmund held a press conference, and signed a contract with Cheng Hai at the press conference and successfully renewed the contract."
"It is reported that Dortmund renewed the contract with Cheng Hai for four years and gave the world's highest salary of up to 26 million euros per year."
"This salary is more than 5 million higher than Eto'o, the world's highest-paid salary, and more than twice the salary of Cristiano Ronaldo, who previously set a world record for transfer fees."
As a result, Cheng Hai claimed that even this salary was a friendship price, and it was signed for the sake of his relationship with Dortmund. Otherwise, don't talk about it without 30 million. ”
"Although judging from the honors and strength that Cheng Hai has won, it seems that 30 million is not impossible."
"However, compared with the salaries of Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and other Mr. Golden Balls, Cheng Hai's salary is really a bit appalling."
"When I saw Cheng Hai say that this is still a friendship price and Dortmund has made a lot of money, I can't help but feel that Cheng Hai is bragging."
"However, when you count the championships, records, and miracles that Cheng Hai has won in the past two years, you have to admit that Dortmund can successfully renew Cheng Hai's contract, in fact, it has already been earned, and you don't have to care what the annual salary is."
"The liquidated damages alone have been increased from 100 million to 100 million, and the extra 100 million is more than enough to pay Cheng Hai's salary."
"What's more, in the next season, Cheng Hai may bring Dortmund the annual six crowns and season six crowns, the Champions League defense, and the results of the Dortmund dynasty, which is far beyond the value of 30 million annual salary."
"It is precisely because of this realization that Dortmund is willing to offer Cheng Hai an annual salary of 26 million euros and keep him."
"Let's wait and see how Cheng Hai performs next in Dortmund to see if he can really deserve this shocking annual salary."
The above are media reports, and in China, in Tieba, in the forum, in the QQ group, in the school that Cheng Hai once studied, in Cheng Hai's hometown, and in Cheng Hai's circle of relatives and friends, Cheng Hai's annual salary figure shocked everyone.
As you know, Cheng Hai is very strong now, helping Dortmund to win the historic treble, whether it is a transfer to another club or staying at Dortmund this summer, the salary will definitely rise.
However, when the figure of 26 million euros of annual salary after tax came out, everyone was still dumbfounded.
According to the exchange rate at this time, 26 million euros, equivalent to more than 200 million yuan, is still after tax, and you can purely get the money in your hand.
In other words, Cheng Hai's salary for one year of work can create two billionaires.
It's a dizzying number.
At the university where Cheng Hai once studied, his teammates on his original school team had already graduated and went their separate ways.
However, we also have QQ groups.
After seeing the news of Cheng Hai's contract renewal, everyone spoke in the group and sighed:
"I didn't expect that my former teammates, only 2 years later, can get an annual salary of 200 million."
"Awesome! The annual 152 goals, five-minute points, Champions League champions, trebles, European Golden Boots, and Golden Ball Awards are all things that we couldn't think of before, but we didn't expect them to be realized by Cheng Hai alone. ”
"I also play in the same school team, why can Cheng Hai get an annual salary of 200 million, but I am a physical education teacher in middle school?"
"It's good that you can be a teacher, I work as an equipment manager in a health club, alas!"
"People are different, Cheng Hai is so awesome, you can't accept it, haha!"
"I accept it, I don't disobey it! Moreover, I am proud of having such a great teammate, and I will have a lot more confidence to brag in the future. ”
"This is not bragging, Cheng Hai is my teammate, he just played with me, what's wrong? Defy? Unconvinced! ”
"Haha, yes!"
"@程海, after making so much money, don't you come out and send a red envelope?"
"Yes, local tyrant, hug your big legs, please eat!"
