Chapter 99: Are Chinese Rich?
Time flies, and the day of the Madrid derby is fast approaching.
All the players of Atletico Madrid have already arrived at the Bernabeu Stadium and are in the away team's dressing room, preparing for the pitch.
There was a lot of commotion in the locker room, some people were chatting, some were singing, and some were playing live games in Photoshop. It's the norm, and before every game, everyone does something they love to do to relax and de-stress.
Qin Shou didn't have this habit, so after changing into his jersey and sneakers, he found a place to sit down and close his eyes and take a nap.
"Eh, guys, you said we'd have extra bonuses for this game, is that true?"
Everyone was doing their own thing, and in the middle of the chat, someone suddenly asked such a question. Immediately, everyone's attention was attracted.
Professional players, what they eat is youth, in addition to the so-called honor, that is, to make more money while they are young, after all, the career of players is not long, most of them can play in a professional league for 20 years, and the peak period is only a few years, if you don't work hard, you can earn enough money for a lifetime in such a short time, then the future life may not be very satisfactory.
Therefore, when it comes to such a thing as an extra bonus, everyone's attitude is almost the same, and they like to hear about it.
"I think it's true, that's what Mr. Boggs said."
"Oh cool, I heard that the usual bonus has doubled or tripled, even if the appearance reward has increased a lot."
"Our Chinese boss is really arrogant and rich......"
"It's the Chinese shareholder, not the boss...... However, people are willing to give bonuses because they want us to play seriously and win this derby. If you don't behave well, ha, I don't have the face to take the so-called bonus. ”
"It's the same thing, if you want to get a bonus, you have to have a good performance worthy of it. Well, I decided that I was going to try to perform in this game, of course, it's better to have goals, but not really, but also assists...... I seem to have seen countless bills beckoning to me......"
"Hahaha, Lucas, you money junkie...... However, Chinese directors are really rich. By the way, Qin, are you Chinese so rich? ”
The teammates were giggling and discussing, and the topic was suddenly thrown to Qin Shou, who smiled and said nothing.
Before arriving at the Bernabeu, assistant coach Boggs announced to the team that ******, a shareholder from China and one of the current board members of Atletico Madrid, would be attending the Bernabéu in person.
This is not news because in Europe, many club owners, shareholders and even directors come to the stadium to cheer on their teams. The Atletico players are just a little curious, after all, they don't know much about the Chinese boss who injected money into the club to help Atletico Madrid tide over financial difficulties, only that the other party seems to be very rich.
What really interested the players was another announcement from Boggs. He told the players that the Chinese board of directors offered a generous bonus as a reward for the team to win the derby, and of course, as long as they win, the players who played would receive a bonus, and the players who performed well, such as goalscorers and assisters, would be several times more than the previous bonuses.
The so-called great reward must have a brave man, this saying is actually very applicable in the football world. In Chinese football, many clubs use money to motivate their players before important matches. In European football, the situation is similar, and wealthy owners are happy to use this way to boost the team's fighting spirit.
It's like Chelsea owner Román. Roman Abramovich, the season when he was in charge of Stamford Bridge and the team was expected to win the league title for the first time, came to the stadium with two big black suitcases to watch the game - the black suitcases were full of euros, said to be 10 million euros, as long as the team won the league title, the money was the whole Chelsea team.
As a result, the Blues went frantic in that game, eventually finishing with a huge scoreline.
Regarding taking money to stimulate the enthusiasm of the team, Qin Shou, like most of his teammates, has an attitude of being happy to see it happen and not taking it for nothing. To put it bluntly, Qin Shou is also a money fan, he is a person who has experienced hard times, before he became a professional player, in order to make a living, he is running around several part-time jobs a day, as long as he can make money, no matter how hard and tired he is, he will rush to do it. Moreover, one of the important reasons why he embarked on the road of football is to make money.
In professional football, there is a bonus for appearances, a bonus for winning, a Ballon d'Or for goals, and an assist for assists...... There are countless rewards, and Qin Shou is so active on the court, and he is also willing to score goals and assists, in order to earn more money.
Qin Shou is just an ordinary person, and his idea is very simple, make money, make money, make money, and then ...... Let all the loved ones and friends live a life of abundance.
Of course, Qin Shou's mentality has also changed a lot, after all, he has made a lot of money now, so much so that it is just a bunch of numbers, so his goal has begun to develop to a higher level, that is, to pursue more and greater honors while making money.
This is the same as the United States saying that China has no human rights and no freedom, and China's answer is very incisive and to the point -- Lao Tzu can't eat enough, and you still talk to me about human rights? Lao Tzu has eaten his fill, and then slowly pursues higher spiritual enjoyment.
Qin Shou is like this, after making money, he starts to pursue other things.
Of course, if he can earn an additional bonus, Qin Shou naturally has no opinion.
It's just that Qin Shou really doesn't know how to answer the questions of his teammates.
There are a lot of rich people in China, but when it comes to Chinese people being rich, it's nonsense. In the interior, there are still many remote places, and many people have not even solved the problem of food and clothing. Although since the beginning of the new century, the country has become stronger and stronger, and the policies and benefits for the common people have become more and more and better, but the changes will not be achieved overnight, and there are still some places that are still very backward.
However, in the eyes of many foreigners, China is indeed a very rich country. Many Chinese bosses began to invest heavily in Europe and the United States, and in casinos such as Macau and Las Vegas, Chinese customers are the most popular, and they often spend a lot of money, and the so-called fashion week, auctions, and ...... Chinese are active in every high-end event venue.
Not to mention far away, let's talk about La Liga, many clubs have cooperated with Chinese companies, and there are even Chinese bosses who have invested in shares. Many of the team's main venues have billboards from China.
That's it, can you say that the Chinese have no money?
Qin Shou said that many Chinese have just solved the problem of food and clothing, and they are not rich, and it is estimated that their teammates do not believe it.
Fortunately, the teammates just talked casually, and seeing that Qin Shou did not respond, they shifted the topic away again.
"Ha, by the way, just now I saw the Chinese who came to the training ground two days ago, and he was following another Chinese. Is that person our Chinese boss? ”
"I guess so. I saw it too, and Mr. Cerezo was accompanying me. ”
"Wow, is he the king? It looks very temperamental, no wonder he will become one of our bosses. ”
"It's still the same sentence, it looks like it's so rich."
"Ha, I said Lucas, can you not carry a word for money in every sentence?"
"Alright, man, I promise not to put the word money in my mouth. I felt like the smile on his face was like a euro ......"
“……”
The teammates chattered and laughed, and Qin Shou also talked and laughed from time to time.
Soon, though, the talk stopped, and Simeone and Boggs walked into the dressing room to make the final touches before the game.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Jianlin."
Accompanied by President Cerezo, ****** walked into the VIP box at the Bernabeu. This box is exclusive to the president of Real Madrid, and it is also because of Florentino's invitation, so ****** chose to enter this box to watch the game.
****** wasn't surprised by the fact that there were people in the box. He already knew that in addition to Cerezo, Real Madrid president Florentino would also be present at the Bernabeu to watch the Madrid derby today. In other words, three executives from both clubs will watch the game together in a box.
It's just that what ****** didn't expect was that he was greeted by a familiar voice. When he looked up, an old friend was getting up and walking towards him.
"Eh, family seals? Why are you here? ”
There was a surprised expression on his face, but he quickly stepped forward and reached out to shake the middle-aged man in front of him.
This person's name is ******, he is the chairman of the board of directors of Evergrande Real Estate Group in China, and he is also a well-known rich man in China.
The two have known each other for decades, and they are not only competitors in the business field, but also a pair of close friends. For the sudden appearance of a friend, ****** is both puzzled and has a kind of joy of reunion in a foreign country.
"Why can't I be here? You can come and watch the game, and I can come to the Santiago Bernabeu to watch the game. ****** joked with a smile, "Actually, our group has always been in contact with Mr. Perez, maybe my team will have some cooperation with Real Madrid in the future." I was invited to watch the Madrid derby. ”
Speaking of this, ****** paused and said: "Today I can be regarded as a person from Real Madrid, I have to cheer for the home team." You don't want to end up in a bad mood because your team lost. ”
