Chapter 51: Good News and Bad News
After a brief exchange, the group sat back on the couch.
Butler Jon gave Qin Shou a cup of tea and left the living room very interestingly. There are some things that the master didn't say, but as a subordinate, you should know it in your heart.
These guests obviously had something to discuss with Henry and Qin Shou, but Steward Jon was not suitable to stay on the spot.
After all, there is no trivial matter for football stars, if there is any news that breaks the news and arouses the disgust of the owner, then Jon Steward is a yellow mud crotch, not but.
"It smells so good."
The smoke lingers on the glass, and the faint fragrance lingers for a long time, and just smelling it makes people feel refreshed. Baker's eyes lit up, and he looked fixedly at the teacup held by Qin Shou in his hand, his face full of curiosity.
"Qin, this is ChineseTea? Chinese tea? Baker took a deep breath and showed a look of satisfaction, "It seems to be delicious." ”
Qin Shou smiled, this is what Henry bought from a friend for him, it is just a very ordinary flower tea, for people like Qin Shou who are used to drinking the local tea from his hometown, the taste of this tea is very ordinary, but for most foreigners, Chinese tea is a very fashionable and fashionable drink.
"There's still some at home, I'll ask Butler Jon to get some for you later."
Although Qin Shou is very sensitive to money, such a thing is not of much value, it is not worth a few dollars, and it is regarded as a favor to give some to the guests, so he decided to give Baker a little bit very arrogantly.
Baker nodded excitedly and thanked Qin Shou.
"Would you like some too, Mr. Anderson?" Qin Shou turned his head and asked Anderson.
"Thanks, I still don't want it." Anderson waved his hand, gently stirred the spoon in the coffee cup, and smiled, "Chinese tea is very good, but I still prefer coffee." ”
Qin Shou nodded and didn't say anything. With Anderson's status and economic strength, if he likes tea, he will definitely have his own channels to get some of it, and since he said he doesn't like it, he can only really prefer coffee.
After chatting for a while, and finally getting to the topic of the day, Baker took out a stack of materials from his sports bucket bag and put it on the table.
"There's good news, bad news, Qin." Baker said to Qin Shou, "Which one do you want to listen to first?" ”
Qin Shou thought for a while, adhering to the Chinese tradition of first bitter and then sweet, and said: "Bad news." ”
“OK。” Baker snapped his fingers and continued, "Your loan contract with Arsenal has expired, which means that you and Thierry will return to the United States with me after I hand over some things with the Arsenal club. ”
Qin Shou nodded, indicating that he understood. From what Baker meant, he could tell, it seemed that Arsenal did not want to renew his contract or buy him out.
"That is, Arsenal have not made an offer or a transfer request to the club?"
Qin Shou groaned slightly, his face a little gloomy. He has been at odds with a number of team-mates over the years, and there seems to be a rift in his relationship with manager Arsene Wenger, which makes him feel as if he is struggling to stay at the Emirates Stadium. However, when this speculation was really in front of him, Qin Shou's heart was still very sad.
Although it was not a long time, Qin Shou really had a strange affection for here. There are friends here, there are fans who like him, and most importantly, Arsenal is his first stop in Europe, which means something different to him and his career.
Beck's answer was beyond Qin Shou's expectations, and when he heard Qin Shou's inquiry, Baker waved his hand again and again, and said, "In fact, it's the opposite. ”
After a pause, in Qin Shou's stunned gaze, Baker continued: "Let's talk about the bad news first. If you choose to move to Arsenal, you will still return to the United States with us. On loan, of course, you'll be back in London at the end of the English league season. ”
"Are you sure this is bad news?" Qin Shou was a little stunned.
Arsenal have already made a transfer request to the New York Red Bulls for their own problems, which means that if they nod their head, then they will truly become a member of the Emirates Stadium. No matter how you look at it, it's all good news, what's not good?
"Bad news indeed. Qin, I think your understanding is a little biased. Baker continued, "As far as we know, even if you move to Arsenal, when you come back from your loan, you won't stay at the Emirates Stadium and you'll be loaned out by Arsenal again. ”
Qin Shou instantly understood the meaning of Baker's words.
In other words, Arsenal will buy ownership of themselves but will still loan him out afterwards. As for when he will be able to return to the Premier League, only the devil knows!
Qin Shou's face instantly became gloomy.
He has already proven his ability in the Premier League, and Arsenal have also recognised that they have the quality to establish themselves in the Premier League, otherwise they would not have applied for a transfer to the United States. What he doesn't understand is why the club would choose to send him out on loan instead of staying in England in this situation.
Qin Shou was silent and did not speak, and Baker did not continue, but quietly waited for Qin Shou's answer. Anderson was sipping coffee slowly on the side, glancing at Qin Shou a few times from time to time.
However, Henry's face was also not good-looking, and he was silent for a while before reaching out and patting Qin Shou's shoulder. has been in the football circle for a long time, and it has become commonplace for many things, and Henry, who quickly figured out the twists and turns, sighed silently.
"Qin, although it is very uncomfortable, I must tell you that between you and Fabregas, Mr. Wenger chose the latter."
Qin Shou raised his eyes, and he quickly understood what Henry meant.
In fact, it is easy to understand that Qin Shou's performance during this period is too good, and it has threatened Fabregas's status in the team. Most of the members of Fabregas's small circle are the main force that Arsenal can't beat, and if Qin Shou continues to play so well, it is difficult to ensure that the circle led by Fabregas will not put pressure on the club.
Choosing Qin Shou will inevitably make Fabregas and others dissatisfied with the team, and even have the idea of leaving the team.
And if Fabregas is chosen, then there is only one result, and that is to banish Qin Shou from the Emirates Stadium.
However, with the talent and potential shown by Qin Shou, as well as his excellent competitive state, it was easy to let such an excellent player slip out of his hands, but the professor was unwilling, so the above problem arose - taking the ownership of Qin Shou and then loaning him to other teams.
"Is this the professor's choice?"
Qin Shou smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more, just clenched his fists, revealing the unrest in his heart at the moment.
"Qin ......"
Henry looked at Qin Shou with some concern, for fear that his friend would have some bad thoughts. If it were him, he wouldn't be happy to hear that he was being manipulated like an object. What's more, it is Qin Shou, who is not very old and experienced, Henry is really worried that Qin Shou will make a decision that he will regret for the rest of his life if he can't figure it out.
"I'm fine, Thierry." Qin Shou smiled again, but the bitterness in his smile could be clearly seen by everyone present, which made the three people around him a little panicked.
Qin Shou waved his hand and asked Baker, "What is Arsenal's offer?" ”
"Three million euros."
"That's a lot."
Qin Shou pursed his lips. This number is indeed not small, after all, Qin Shou is still very young, and he is a player in Major League Soccer, and the most important thing is that Qin Shou has only played in the Premier League for less than three months, although he has performed well at this stage, there are not a few young talents who have died in world football. So this offer can be regarded as very generous.
"It's a lot." Baker nodded. At the beginning, the club signed Qin Shou to the team without spending a penny, and in this turn and sale, he made a net profit of 3 million euros. If this business is successful, it will be really profitable.
"Tell me more about the good news you said earlier."
"Oh, okay. In fact, Qin, in fact, you don't have to feel sad, although Arsenal's approach is a bit unkind, but this is a common thing in football circles, not to mention, whether you want to stay in England or not, it depends on your meaning. Before coming, Dietmar has already explained, and the final choice is yours. If you're not willing to stay in the UK, then Red Bull's doors are always open to you. Seeing that Qin Shou's mood was still a little low, Baker was relieved.
Qin Shou's mood finally improved. He thought of his American friends, the old Carl who was always in shape, the stupid Papasto, and the always smiling Uncle Huang, and the pork chop John who took care of him. Of course, there is also Coach Juan, who accompanies him to train and coach him, and Dietmar, the manager who seems to be indifferent but actually loves his players like a child.
It is undeniable that Baker's words made Qin Shou feel warm in his heart and extremely moved.
"Alright, let's talk about the good news." Seeing that Qin Shou's mood improved, Baker also showed a smile on his face, he clicked on the stack of materials on the table, and said, "This is good news." ”
"This is ......" Qin Shou turned his attention to the stack of papers that had been placed on the table by Baker before, he took it in his hand, glanced at it roughly, and then said in surprise, "Quotation?" Transfer request? ”
"Hah, that's right!" Baker's interest seemed to be high, "Arsenal don't choose you, that's their loss. Hmph, they don't want to go to your club. Qin, come, take a good look and see if there is anything you like. ”
"So much?"
There were more than a dozen of such a stack of materials, and Henry and Anderson looked at each other in surprise, both of them feeling incredible.
Qin Shou nodded, and began to carefully browse the bunch of clubs that made offers.
