Chapter 8 See who is the most wronged
With the exception of the Premier League, the winter break for all major leagues starts before Christmas and starts again in early January, and the winter transfer window for all levels of Spain's leagues opens on January 3 and does not close until the end of the month.
The league is already halfway through the winter transfer, and the biggest significance of this transfer window is just to let the clubs make up for the shortcomings, and few teams will make any big moves at this time, and they are generally just some simple tinkering with the squad, but this year's La Liga is a bit abnormal.
First of all, Atletico Madrid sold homegrown talent and this year's Golden Boy Award winner David for 30 million euros shortly after Christmas. Alvaro was brought to Madrid from Mallorca, and then Luis was dragged for a whole year. Lua's transfer drama has finally come to an end.
Lua is one of the hottest attackers in football today, at the age of 25, is in the prime of a player's age, this talented player from Brazil is not only skilled, fast, but also very good at seizing the opportunity to score, arguably the most terrifying all-round killer on the field, last season single-handedly led Portugal's civilian team Maritimo all the way to the Champions League final, although he lost to the star-studded Galaxy Battleship, but his individual performance is remarkable. Already considered one of the leading figures in world football for the next decade.
Barcelona paid 100 million euros to bring the Brazilian to the Camp Nou, much to the envy and hatred of other clubs.
You must know that Lua will not be able to participate in this year's Champions League after coming to Barcelona, but Barcelona is still in a hurry to buy people, why everyone knows it.
Real Madrid, which has five superstars, has successfully completed the run-in under the tutelage of the Portuguese coach, not only killing in various arenas last season, but also pressing the La Liga teams this season, which is completely the momentum of dominating the world.
Barcelona, who are at the juncture of the transition between the old and the new, have not been able to make good summer signings and can now only spare no expense in the transfer market.
With the excellent performance in the last game, Chu Yang originally thought that the uproar of the super transfer had nothing to do with him, but he didn't expect that a phone call from the club's commercial director would shatter his illusions.
"Chu, I'm very sorry, you're not in our plans for the second half of the season, I think you can get in touch with other clubs."
"At the moment the club has received official offers from five clubs, three from China, one from the Eredivisie and one from La Liga, you think about it seriously and we will respect your choice."
Your Excellency doesn't say much, but the meaning is clear.
You have been put up for sale, if there is a club you want to go to you can come to the door, if not, choose one from the club that offered, we are very humane and will fully respect the wishes of the players.
Hanging up the phone, Chu Yang put the phone between his five fingers and turned it, but his mind flew to other places.
Isn't it expected to be sold, why are you still a little unwilling......
Of course, there are clubs he likes, but they are all the kind that he looks up to and others don't look down on him, so the only ones he can choose are the five clubs that make the offer.
The three Chinese Super League teams are put aside first, and La Liga is a bit of a low grade for people like him who entered La Liga at the beginning of his career, and he doesn't think about it, so the first thing to think of is the Eredivisie.
"Einhorn? Damn, I don't know Dutch. β
As soon as such a complaint came out, the mobile phone in his hand rang, an unfamiliar number, Spanish, who knew that when he got connected, it was not English or Spanish, but the familiar Chinese.
"Hello, is it Chu Yang?" A very mellow male voice.
"It's me, who are you?"
"I'm Chen Ping, the president of Valencia Club, I think you should know what I contacted you for, right?"
"I know." Valencia is one of the clubs that have made an offer to Laco.
The football pattern of this world is still slightly different from Chu Yang's previous life, the top teams are still familiar ones, but there are also some familiar strong teams that have become weak scum, and some millennium weak teams have become strong teams.
The most obvious is Valencia, this quasi-giant team in Chu Yang's previous life has become a weak team that can only struggle in La Liga, although it has also had the glory of calling for wind and rain in La Liga and the Champions League, but now it has basically fallen into the belly of an adult who fails every year, which surprised Chu Yang, who was in your realm for a while.
But it's just a surprise, he wasn't a fan of the Bat Legion in his previous life, so he didn't know much about Valencia after coming here.
Chen Ping said: "I'm in A CoruΓ±a now, I don't know if you have time to come out and talk?" β
"Oh?" Chu Yang didn't expect the other party to be so sincere, "Of course you can." β
Most of the clubs in Spain are joint-stock system, not all membership system as many people think, the chairman of these clubs is the representative of the major shareholders in the club, responsible for managing the daily affairs of the club, of course, some major shareholders will also take the chairmanship themselves, but I don't know what kind of Mr. Chen Ping is.
Now it happened to be a meal, or Chen Ping deliberately chose to call Chu Yang at the meal, and he directly chose the meeting place in a high-end restaurant in A CoruΓ±a.
Chu Yang, who was still doubting whether Chen Ping would be a Korean or a Singaporean, instantly confirmed Chen Ping's identity.
Talking about things at the dinner table, national characteristics.
Chen Ping looked to be about fifty years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a suit and leather shoes, and he looked like a business elite at first glance, but to Chu Yang's surprise, it was not him who was talking to him, but another young man.
He looks less than thirty years old, he looks very handsome, only a little shorter than Chu Yang, and his height of about 1.77 meters is more than enough among the Chinese people.
The young man took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Hello Chu Yang, I am the chairman of the Valencia Club, Xiao Luo. β
He paused as he spoke, as if to add weight to himself, and added: "That Xiao of Tenglong." β
Tenglong Group, the largest Internet company in China, the country's largest social platform Weibo is engaged in by them, the largest communication software Weichat is developed by them, the largest search engine Qianxun is operated by them, and the largest shopping website Taobei is also tossed out by them.
As long as you imagine what the BAT triumvirate in Chu Yang's previous life looked like when they were gathered together, you can know what kind of scale the Tenglong Group in this world is.
Xiao Yu, the helmsman of Tenglong, is only in his fifties, but he has been the richest man in Asia for five consecutive years, the life of this business tycoon is legendary, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an open life.
Everyone in the country knows that Xiao Yu has an only son, but they know very little about his son, and now it seems that he is the one in front of him.
"I didn't expect to meet the legendary Prince Tenglong in a foreign land, fortunately," Chu Yang said, "It's not realistic to buy Real Madrid Manchester United or something, but it's not difficult to buy a mid-to-lower team in the top league with Tenglong's financial resources, right?" Why did Xiao Dong go to Xiyi to play? β
Xiao Luo explained with a smile: "Of course it's not difficult for Tenglong, but it's not easy for me. β
"I understand when you say that," Chu Yang said, "What is this?" The test game of the heir or the hobby of the rich second generation? β
Xiao Luo looked at Chu Yang and said seriously: "No, it's the main cause, the kind that most of the effort is put on it." β
Chu Yang touched his nose and asked knowingly, "Okay, then what is it for?" β
Xiao Luo didn't answer his question, but asked, "Do you know why Laco put you on the list?" β
"It's not strong enough."
"That's right," Xiao Luo nodded, "They want to buy Burmondo, and they're ready to succeed, so you're naturally superfluous." β
"No wonder." Chu Yang smiled bitterly, he and Bulmondo, no matter how stupid people are, they all know how to choose.
"You're quite calm," Xiao Luo had been observing Chu Yang, "Not unconvinced?" β
"There's nothing unconvincing, it's still the same sentence, the strength is not enough, convincing," Chu Yang took a sip of the tea in front of him, "I didn't expect that my strength could enter Xiao Dong's eyes, I was a little flattered." β
"Mr. Chu is modest, maybe you will think that we wanted to bring you to Valencia because we saw your performance in the last game, but in fact, it is not," Chen Ping, who had been silent, continued, "Dong Xiao has been optimistic about you a long time ago, and this offer has been prepared for a long time, and we have prepared a generous contract for you." β
Chu Yanggang said to Xiao Luo in his heart, your vision is really not very good, and Xiao Luo's next words made him understand that he was thinking too much.
"I originally thought that everyone is Chinese, and it is a hand to help, anyway, you are not doing well in Laco, I also need a gimmick to attract domestic fans, plus the scouts recognize your professional attitude, so let them pay attention to it, I didn't expect you to have a stunning hat-trick before the start of the transfer period, even Einhorn was attracted to it, I must have been thinking about where to learn Dutch, right?"
Chu Yang was not embarrassed at all and said: "No, it's all a part-time job anyway, if I can choose, I still hope that my boss is Chinese." β
Xiao Luo didn't expose him, but asked, "Do you know what price Laco offered you?" β
"I remember that Laco was quite optimistic about me at the beginning, and the liquidated damages were 10 million, it seems that the transfer fee can't be higher than this, I guess," Chu Yang said, "Nine million?" β
"You really think highly of yourself," Xiao Luo said with a smile, "Five million, the bargaining price should be less than one million." β
"More than three million? That's worth a lot of money, too. He couldn't remember what the exchange rate between the euro and the yuan was, anyway, it was about one to eight, and more than three million euros was at least more than 20 million yuan.
"The market valuation is 500,000 yuan, and the seller's market is just sitting on the ground," Xiao Luo said, "Who doesn't know that there are many wrongs in China now." β
"Well, that's a story of Sangxin."
Xiao Luo's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and he was silent for a while before he said, "Einhorn is only willing to pay 600,000 for you, but I kind of want to pay the more than 3 million." β
"Because of those three goals?" Chu Yang smiled, "Aren't you afraid that I'm just lucky?" β
"It's still worth the gamble," Xiao Luo also smiled, "My vision and luck have always been good." β
"This is a fact," Chu Yang continued, "It can be seen from the reincarnation. β
Xiao Luo gestured to Chen Ping with his eyes, and Chen Ping took out a contract from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Chu Yang.
"This is my sincerity, I just revised it last night, you can take a look first, sign for three years, an annual salary of one million euros, liquidated damages of one yuan, and other bonuses are calculated separately," Xiao Luo said, "I want to see who is the most wronged." β
Chu Yang couldn't help laughing out loud again, and said, "Xiao Dong is indeed very confident in his vision. β
He doesn't know what level an annual salary of one million is in Xiyi, but it should be the top batch, and the liquidated damages of one yuan are no longer strange to describe.
The so-called liquidated damages are a fee that the buyer must pay to the seller when the player himself wants to leave and the buyer wants to buy, but the seller does not want to release the person.
It stands to reason that the more optimistic a club is on a player, the higher the liquidated damages will be, and the club will be able to make a profit when the player has to leave before the contract expires.
Now Xiao Luo is doing the opposite, the liquidated damages are one yuan no different from free, which is confident that Chu Yang will not take the initiative to leave, or Chu Yang does not want to stay in Valencia, and the club will never stop it.
This is a far more important contract than a commercial one, full of idealistic romance and the willfulness of a loser, which is more like a legal contract than a gentleman's agreement, and in the eyes of outsiders, I am afraid that there is no difference at all.
This rich second generation has a lot of personality.
With such a thought, Chu Yang stretched out his hand and shook Xiao Luo again.
"Happy working together, boss."
