Chapter 653: Giving back to the fans is risky
Office of the President.
Michael Ashley sat on the chair, staring motionlessly at the magazine in his hand, looking leisurely in a half-lying position, but the expression on his face was like a defeated rooster, with no energy at all, and he looked like he was coming to the end of the road.
The bonus negotiation just now......
He's defeated!
Ashley, a self-proclaimed successful sports businessman, whose father owned only a few chain sporting goods stores, expanded his business to buy sports clubs, consolidate sports companies, and skyrocket his fortune to the richest list.
He was successful.
Ashley believes that he relies on vision, but he is also good at all aspects, such as excellent negotiation skills, and he always spends less money to complete more valuable acquisitions.
The negotiations with Real Madrid and Manchester City representatives two days ago are still vivid, and he has always been proud, but in the face of the 'strong' Zhen Shaolong, he eventually became a loser.
"Or because there are no chips......
After Zhen Shaolong left, Ashley thought carefully and found the main reason for the defeat - chips.
Zhen Shaolong is a Newcastle United player, he is the chairman of Newcastle United, the identities of the two seem to be a little unequal, but in fact, Zhen Shaolong is the strong side, because his performance is enough to affect the team's results.
There is no club with such a strong player and 'no player is indispensable' is not an empty saying.
In addition to Zhen Shaolong, the best players in football are C-Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka and others, but they are only top stars, and their teams can still have temporary replacements, and their performance will not be too different.
Zhen Shaolong is different.
Zhen Shaolong is indispensable to Newcastle United, it is impossible for Newcastle Lenovo to find a replacement, and his prestige in the club, fans, and media is also unshakable.
Therefore, Zhen Shaolong is qualified to talk to him on an equal footing.
Zhen Shaolong also has other chips in his hands, the most important thing is that his value is too high, and the transfer is a very big thing, and the club cannot afford the loss caused by 'no transfer'.
"That's more than 200 million euros!" Ashley thought about the large sum of money, and suddenly felt that it was nothing to lose.
This is a compromise with money!
In the world of a successful businessman, it is normal to compromise with money, and it can even be said to be a life principle and creed.
The most depressed thing about Ashley is Zhen Shaolong's last bargaining chip--
Laura.
Lola likes Zhen Shaolong.
Ashley felt that he was not blind, so it was impossible for him to make a mistake in judgment, even if Zhen Shaolong was dating Erin, but only by expressing his liking for Lola, Lola would definitely agree.
"That bastard must be a nymph! Unlike me, Michael Ashley, would never betray divine love! ”
"He's not a good son-in-law!"
"The most important thing is ...... This guy actually blackmailed me......"
When Ashley thought about the relationship between Lola and Zhen Shaolong, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable all over his body, and even began to be frightened, "As soon as possible, we must finalize the transfer as soon as possible, we can't delay it any longer!" ”
"In case he really doesn't leave, Laura often comes to the club......"
"It's too dangerous......"
He immediately called Charnley and said, "It looks like we're going to get the big deal up to speed up, get the players we need as soon as possible, and try to finish it before the end of the season!" ”
————
Zhen Shaolong's return to training brought good news, "Mr. Ashley has agreed to give out bonuses!" ”
"And quickly...... It's not today, it's tomorrow, we'll get the money right away anyway! ”
"Hula......"
The teammates applauded collectively and clapped each other to celebrate, and they were also very grateful to Zhen Shaolong--
"It's still amazing! I was able to get a prize money from Mr. Ashley! ”
"It's normal for the club to give bonuses and we're in the last four of the Champions League."
"This is the training ground, you don't have to be polite to that fat man, I usually call him 'miserly fat man'."
"It's the boss who gives out the bonus, and we should respect it."
"Yes, be respectful!"
"Zhen, how much is the bonus?" Viduka asked key questions, which were of concern to many of his teammates.
Most of Newcastle United's players are not paid at a high level, Owen, the second highest salary, only earns more than 100,000 pounds a week, and Milner is less than Owen's salary, with a weekly salary of less than 100,000 pounds, and is already the third in the team.
The salaries of the other teammates are very pitiful.
For example, Viduka.
With an annual salary of just £850,000 and an average weekly wage of around £15,000, Viduka's salary is in the middle of the pack and better than most of his team-mates.
Those players with lower salaries will naturally care about the amount of bonuses, after all, it is a bonus for the Champions League results, and the bonus amount must add up to millions of pounds.
"Two and a half million pounds."
Zhen Shaolong explained the specific figures, which immediately made his teammates very happy and surprised.
Two and a half million?
When did that fat man become generous?
After determining the overall amount of bonuses, the focus of discussion among teammates was the distribution of bonuses, and everyone felt that there should be a reasonable distribution method, but if the bonuses were to be paid according to their contribution to the game, most substitutes would not get paid at all.
These are all questions.
The club decided that it was a good thing to pay out the bonus, but it also made the whole team a little unmotivated, and at noon, Keegan approached Charnley to explain the situation and urged him to send the bonus as soon as possible.
In fact, Charnley still has to put it off, because the quick release of the bonus will make Ashley very unhappy, but when he heard that it would affect the team's training, he decided to take action immediately.
As the club's manager in charge of finance, Charnley is still very competent, and he quickly figured out how to distribute the prize money, which was also supported by other managers and Keegan.
The £2.5 million prize money was split between two parts, one for £1 million and one for £1.5 million.
The £1 million share is split equally among all, and as long as you are a first-team player, you are eligible for the bonus.
The £1.5 million portion is determined based on the time played in the Champions League, with the player who plays the whole game getting the most, and the player who doesn't play gets no bonus.
In this way, the worst player can also get more than 40,000 pounds.
Coloccini, who played all the matches and played most of the games, would receive the top prize of £120,000, plus the base of more than £40,000 for a total of £170,000.
Zhen Shaolong's playing time is a little less, and he can also get nearly 160,000 pounds.
And so on for other players.
This distribution plan satisfied the vast majority of players, and the only problem was Zhen Shaolong, who felt that it was more reasonable to distribute according to the contribution of winning because he was able to get more ......
"Okay!"
"So be it!"
Zhen Shaolong remembered his great sentiments and felt that he should not be entangled in this bonus.
It's nice to have a bonus!
This money is definitely extra income, and it is enough to buy a house for Huzi, and not spending the money in your bank is the most comfortable result.
Subsequently.
Zhen Shaolong remembered the task.
After the prize money was distributed, the system task was also changed, and there was an additional description for the prize money, "You have won 2.5 million pounds, and you will enjoy the following bonus effect in the next game-
1. The trigger distance of the "Must Kill" skill is increased by 2.5 meters by yearning for expansion.
2. The correction range of "calibration" is expanded by 1.25 meters.
3. The duration of "Skill" is increased by 2.5 seconds. ”
That's a good bonus!
The scope of "Nirvana" is in the small penalty area, the horizontal line of the small penalty area is 5.5 meters away from the goal, and the expansion of 2.5 meters is equivalent to eight meters, and the distance between the big penalty area line and the goal is 16.5 meters, and eight meters is almost half of the goal.
Needless to say, "Calibration".
It's so buggy!
The correction distance increased by "Calibration" and the effect of the improvement are all exponentially improved, and the expansion of the correction range is expanded by 1.25 meters, which is equivalent to more than doubling the increase, and the whole is a circle with a diameter of 4.5 meters.
If you shoot with your back to the goal, or with a position other than your feet, Calibration can also double the effect, which is equivalent to a circle with a diameter of nine meters.
What can't be kicked?
"Skill" is not small, adding 2.5 seconds of time, it is estimated that it can stick the ball directly into the goal?
Zhen Shaolong thought about it carefully, would he be beaten by the other party's annoyed and angry group when he rushed to the goal with the ball......
"Try not to do that...... Low profile! Be low-key! ”
At last.
Zhen Shaolong noticed the task reward - a little appearance, and he was not surprised by the reward for appearance, because many tasks are beauty rewards.
He opens the role page to see the properties--

"Before I knew it, my appearance had reached 99! Plus a little is not a hundred? ”
Zhen Shaolong suddenly remembered the Toulon Cup two years ago, when because of the improvement of the task, the accumulation of appearance attributes exceeded one hundred and ten points.
That caused a violent response, and a large number of French female fans quickly became his supporters, so much so that in the final against the French team, there was a group of French fans who supported him.
That...... What a nice experience!
Now that the appearance is more than 100, will it also have an effect?
When it came time to play against Arsenal, a large number of Arsenal female fans came to support them......
Ahem!
"Low profile! It's low-key! ”
"This is the trouble of good looks, and there are many supporters everywhere you go...... Actually, I don't want to do that, but who can refuse the support of the fans? ”
Zhen Shaolong suddenly felt that a special female fan association should be set up to select the 'best (selected by appearance) supporters of the month every month', and the 'best supporter of the month' could get benefits - a chance to meet the idol (himself) alone.
"It's a good idea, and you should really give back to the fans who support you, but ...... Will it cause public outrage? ”
Zhen Shaolong fell into a philosophical reflection between giving back to the fans and personal crisis.
