Chapter 271: A New Season Begins
On July 15, Shi Hao secretly went to London for a physical examination, but he was accidentally photographed by the pervasive British media on the way, so he simply generously posted a selfie of himself during the physical examination on Facebook, with the words "everything went well".

There really weren't any moths in the physical examination. On July 16, Chelsea's official website released the news: Chinese player Shi Hao joined the team.
Paris Saint-Germain's official website was also updated: Thank you for the three trophies you brought to the team in the past season, I can't forget those wonderful moments, and I hope you have a bright future.
The exact transfer fee has not been announced, but transfer expert Di Marzio has basically guessed it: David Luizga 15 million euros.
Among them, David Luiz is worth 50 million euros, which is equivalent to Shi Hao's transfer fee of 65 million euros.
This price is the result of Luo's continued pressure on Paris Saint-Germain. After all, Shi Hao is the hero of the team, and Paris Saint-Germain has already made a lot of money on him, so it would be too chilling if he didn't let go of the 80 million euro contract breaker.
Naturally, the details of Shi Hao's new contract will not be made public. Due to Shi Hao's own active cooperation, Chelsea saved a transfer fee, so at the last moment Chelsea increased his personal treatment: the weekly salary and captain Terry are on par with 175,000 pounds per week, 93,000 pounds after tax, second only to Hazard in the team.
The signing fee is £9.5 million, the appearance fee is £25,000, the goal bonus is £28,000, the Champions League knockout stage bonus is £400,000, the Champions League win prize is £600,000, the Premier League title is £500,000, the Premier League top scorer is £400,000 and the Ballon d'Or is £600,000...... Overall, the weekly salary and bonus are almost half the price quoted by Real Madrid.
As compensation for not being able to meet his salary and bonus requirements, there are several hidden clauses in his contract: he cannot join any Premier League team on his next transfer; If the three teams of Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich want to buy Shi Hao, when the bid reaches 90 million euros, the team must release him; If Inter Milan wants to buy Shi Hao, the team must release him when the bid reaches 70 million euros.
Of course, these terms are not made public.
If you consider it purely from the economic aspect, his transfer is very uneconomical. You must know that if he can successfully transfer to Real Madrid, his commercial value will also be greatly improved, and he will get more advertising fees.
But Shi Hao is bent on winning the Golden Ball Award first and then going to Real Madrid or Barcelona, preferring to earn less, and Luo Yunhui is helpless.
Shi Hao took more than 4 million euros in Paris Saint-Germain's annual salary after tax last season, more than 3 million euros in appearance fees, goal bonuses, Champions League winning bonuses, Ligue 1 winning bonuses, etc., and almost 4 million euros in various advertising and endorsement fees (mainly because he signed a contract with Volvo relatively late), so he is also a rich man with a net worth of tens of millions of euros.
And this season, his advertising revenue will reach more than 22 million euros.
As soon as he arrived in London, he asked a real estate agent to start looking for a house and was ready to buy a luxury house for around 6 million euros.
He has also successfully completed his studies in Italy, and is preparing to apply for a master's degree in business at a British university, which also allows Luo Yunhui to operate. And Liu Xiyu's transfer to the UK to study for a master's degree is also on the agenda.
According to the FA's new rules, the international ranking of the Chinese team is too low, and Chinese players cannot apply for labor certification through normal channels, only to apply for special talent clauses. For a player who performed so well last season, the special talent clause is not difficult.
Shi Hao joined Chelsea, and did not hold such a big welcome ceremony as Neymar when he joined Barcelona, but simply held a press conference. After the application for the Special Genius Clause was successful, a press conference was held.
At the press conference, Shi Hao appeared with the Chelsea No. 10 shirt and answered various questions from reporters.
The most asked questions were why he moved, why he chose Chelsea, and his goals for the new season.
'Frankly, the new contract offered me by PSG was much better than the one offered by Chelsea. Again, I reiterate that this transfer is not about money, but about proving myself in a more competitive league. ”
'Chelsea is a team with a long history and under Mr Jose Mourinho we are on the right path and I think joining a team like this will help me develop my career.'
"Champions, of course champions. At the same time, I hope to continue to make a difference in the Champions Cup. ”
Shi Hao's transfer is not the biggest news for Chelsea this summer. The departure of Frank Lampard is the most remarkable thing.
However, Shi Hao's arrival has somewhat comforted the emotions of Chelsea fans and made them more optimistic about the team's prospects this season.
Chelsea's other transfer deals are well underway. Belgian monster Romelu Lukaku moved to Everton for 36 million euros, Demba Ba transferred to Besiktas, Van Aanholt, Xavier, Van Ginkel, Ashley Cole, Eto'o, Torres, Marin, Piason, Hazard Jr., Cuevas, Wallace and Shi Hao's teammate Achu in Porto have left the team on free transfer or loan.
After letting go of these stars, Chelsea's recruitment work is also going relatively well. After their bid for Ibrahimovic was rejected, they brought in Atletico Madrid's star Diego for 38 million euros. Costa was replaced by a €20 million purchase of left-back Felipe, who performed well at Atletico Madrid last season, a free signing of the old monster Drogba, 10 million euros for Remy, and finally a successful 33 million euro to bring Cesc Fabregas to Stamford Bridge to fill the void left by Frank Lampard, and also reclaim Courtois.
After this series of transfer operations, Chelsea's strength has risen instead of declining, and it is believed that it can make a difference in both the Premier League and the Champions League.
And Real Madrid, after seeking Shi Hao to no avail, turned to buy Shi Hao's former teammate J. Rodriguez for 80 million euros, creating the highest price this summer.
They are also one of the favourites in the Champions League this season.
During Chelsea's pre-season training, Mourinho's ideas for transforming the team were already beginning to emerge.
He still stuck to the 4231 formation, but he tried to transform Shi Hao into a midfield position and take on a 9-and-a-half role. It is necessary to assist the midfielders to organise well, but also to be ready to attack the city at any time, and if necessary, to use their individual ability to cause problems in front of the penalty area.
In Mourinho's tactical system, a part of Diego was sacrificed. Costa's goalscoring ability allowed him to do more fulcrum, wander and harass and press in the front court, while the task of scoring was more entrusted to Shi Hao.
