"What do you think, Asena?"

Jin Ming and Wen Dongfang are discussing their future, and there are also many clubs paying attention to Jin Ming, thinking about what conditions should be offered to Jin Ming to attract Jin Ming to their club.

Clubs like Manchester City are simple, just throw money at them. Anyway, Manchester City is going to smash all the best players in the world. Of course, this is also the best way for a team to rise.

And in faraway London, there is also a club under consideration.

Steve. After returning from Germany, Lawley gave Wenger a report on his visit to Podolski. But at the same time, he also handed over his report on Jin Ming's investigation to Arsene Wenger.

Arsene Wenger understands Steve. The meaning of Lawley.

Steve. Lawley's evaluation of Podolsky is not low, it should be said that it is still very high. But attaching Jin Ming's report is to sue Wenger, who admires Jin Ming more and likes Jin Ming more.

Arsene Wenger has a lot of respect for Steve. Lawley's report.

Podolsky and Jin Ming's reports both looked at them carefully, and then said with a smile: "It's outstanding." Like thierry. ”

"The German side thinks that his technical style is the same as that of Cristiano. Ronaldo is a lot like that. ”

"Huh. Ben Thierry and Cristiano. Ronaldo is a lot like that. ”

Steve. Lawley shrugged and didn't say a word.

Arsene Wenger thinks Thierry Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo's technical style are somewhat similar, and of course many people will not agree. But Steve. Lawley knows that if Ronaldo had chosen Arsenal back then, then Ronaldo is now estimated to follow Henry's path.

If Arsene Wenger had cultivated Ronaldo back then, it is estimated that Henry would have been used as a template.

"What do you think?"

"Very strong. If you come, you can help the team. ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

Arsene Wenger shook his head.

Arsene Wenger looked at Jin Ming's report again. There is also a picture of Jin Ming's game. But in the end, he sighed and said, "It's too expensive." Twenty-three million euros is still too expensive. Until next summer, we're going to have to tighten our belts. After next summer, everything will be said. But we still can't bring in players who are so expensive next summer. After all, the rest of the team needs to be replenished. ”

Arsene Wenger was slightly disappointed.

How many years have it been before Wenger's eyes have been in sight. In the end, they couldn't be introduced because of money. The poor economic situation has prevented Arsenal from being as bold as when they brought in Reyes.

"Arsenal, he's really good and can help the team, right?"

Gazidis, the club's CEO, who had been silent next to him, suddenly asked Wenger.

The man Gazidis is also a character with mixed reputations.

Before coming to Arsenal, Gazidis was a vice commissioner in the Major League Soccer and was working to make money for the Major League. It was later poached to Arsenal by Kroenke, the president of the Arsenal club.

He came to Arsenal in '08. It was also the most difficult time for Arsenal's economy.

He has a strong ability to pull sponsorship. Or that he has a strong ability to expand Arsenal's business development, and after he became Arsenal's CEO, Arsenal's income has also been rising. His contribution in this regard is still very large.

And Arsenal have recently signed several large sponsorship contracts. Although the contract started in two or three years, it showed a lot of people what he was capable of.

Arsenal can survive the most difficult economic moments, in addition to Arsene Wenger can lead Arsenal to the Champions League every year and sell the captain every year to raise funds, there is also Gazidis's earning ability.

But Gazidis, the Yankee, didn't know football at all.

Arsenal vice-president David Murphy of the year. When Dunn was there. In the transfer market, he is Arsene Wenger's biggest leader. Arsene Wenger has his eye on a player. David. Dunn could easily handle the other party.

But Gazidis, a fool, has been played around in the transfer market.

It's not just the slow response and poor negotiation skills when bringing in players, but also the poor ability when selling players. None of those players could be sold for a price.

Gazidis himself is knowledgeable and knows his shortcomings. Therefore, he only paid close attention to the commercial side of the club, and left the competitive side of things to Arsene Wenger. Just Arsene Wenger and Steve. Laurie talked about Jin Ming, and he didn't interject at will.

"Yes, he's very good. It's really about being able to help the team. ”

Arsene Wenger nodded.

Jin Ming's talent. It really makes Wenger admire. In the current Arsenal wing, Walket is on the right. On the left there is Gervinho. Walcott was twenty-two years old and Gervinho was twenty-four.

Walcott was quick and didn't run badly, but he didn't have a good cross, a poor last pass, and a poor shot. And Gervinho is known as "passing Messi, shooting Heskey", and the passing is also very poor.

The combined threat of the two men on the flanks is not half that of Jin Ming.

And Wenger attaches great importance to the analysis of the player's numbers. Steve. The report of Jin Ming brought by Lawley has a very detailed report of the number jù. Including Jin Ming's running distance, number of passes, pass success rate, number of shots, shot success rate, breakthrough success rate and so on in a game.

All very high.

If Arsenal can really have a player like Jin Ming on the wing, the attacking power will definitely go up a notch. Wenger does not deny this.

"Then buy it."

Gazidis has a lot of character.

Arsene Wenger looked up at Gazidis. Although Gazidis has been criticized by many people in the negotiation of the transfer market, Gazidis is very knowledgeable. He never made an irresponsible argument about a transfer.

Basically, who Wenger wants to buy and who he wants to sell, Gazidis will not object.

I didn't expect Gazidis to suddenly be so strong this time.

Gazidis saw Wenger's eyes and understood that his words might cause Wenger's disgust. So he quickly explained: "Asena, aren't you just thinking about money? ”

"Yes."

Arsene Wenger did not deny it.

It's really a matter of money. Just like this summer, Arsene Wenger is actually looking to buy Eden Hazard from Lille club. It's a pity that when the final negotiations were made. Arsenal were unable to meet the transfer fee demanded by the other side, in fact, it was only a few million pounds apart.

Arsene Wenger finally gave up on Hazard, and then had to turn around and buy Gervinho. Gervinho is good in Ligue 1 though. But compared to a top talent like Hazard, the talent is much worse.

Arsenal's current financial situation is not very well-off, so it is really not so easy to find a player with a high price.

"Kim is a different person than any other player. I know him, and after he joined Schalke, Schalke's Chinese sponsorship skyrocketed, with a sponsorship fee of more than 10 million euros a year. Of course this is Schalke. If it's Arsenal, then it's possible to win 20 or 30 million euros. ”

Sure enough, Gazidis is actually valuable to Jin Ming in the field of competition. It's not very clear, and I'm not going to figure it out.

For Gazidis, making money for Arsenal is the goal. As for judging the quality of the players and how to use them, that's Wenger's business.

Originally, he didn't have any interest in Jin Ming. After all, Gazidis will not interfere with Wenger's authority in the field of sporting. But now after discovering that Arsene Wenger is interested in him. Gazidis immediately began to analyze the impact of Jin Ming's arrival on Arsenal.

Moreover, Jin Ming is currently the only Chinese player to play in a major European league. I've checked it, and his influence in China is very strong. It's the same as Manchester United's Park Ji-sung's influence in South Korea. If we have a Chinese player at Arsenal, then we can overpower Manchester United as the most popular club in China. Asena, you should know how strong China's economy is right now, how big the Chinese market is. ”

For Gazidis, he still values the Chinese market the most.

At present, the giants of Europe are developing new markets. Including North American market, Chinese market, Southeast Asian market, Middle East market market. Among them, the Chinese market is definitely not something that anyone can ignore.

Even if China's per capita is still much worse than that of developed countries, who makes China have a population of 1.3 billion?

Such a large number of people. It's a huge market. In addition, China's rapid economic development in recent years has attracted the enthusiasm of major European football giants to develop the Chinese market.

Look at the current European football giants, they all can't wait to go to China to make money. Go to China to play two games, and when you come back, you can earn tens of millions of euros. Where to find such a good thing.

Moreover, the Chinese market is getting bigger and bigger, and the development has slowly become formal, which makes the world's giants even more eyeing the Chinese market.

Arsenal's weakness in this regard is very obvious.

In terms of overseas development, Manchester United is the boss. Arsenal's annual overseas income is less than Manchester United's £50 million. Now Arsenal has also begun to pay attention to overseas markets, otherwise Arsenal would not have gone to Hangzhou last year.

But it was a lot late.

Compared with Real Madrid and Manchester United, Arsenal lags a lot behind in the Chinese market. In the past two years, I have only started to open some Arsenal stores in the Chinese market. But even if it's much later, the increase in income is visible.

"Asena, Jin Ming's transfer fee seems to be a lot, but it's not much at all. Jin Ming's own transfer fee, he can earn it back by himself. He will be able to attract some Chinese companies to sponsor our Arsenal, and his jerseys will be sold in the millions in China, because there are tens of millions of fans in China who can afford to spend money. Of course, if we have Jin Ming, when the time comes, we will go to China to play, and the appearance fee will be several times higher than now. ”

The more Gazidis spoke, the more excited he became.

Arsenal's appearance fee is not high, especially the poor results in these years. Compared with Real Madrid's appearance fee of more than 3 million euros at every turn, Arsenal's appearance fee is around 1 million euros.

But if there were Jin Ming, the situation would be very different.

And with Jin Ming, it is estimated that the various business activities that invite Arsenal will also increase a lot. It's all money.

Twenty-three million euros?

As long as he has Jin Ming, goes around China and plays two games, Gazidis is sure that he will be able to recover 156 million euros. Coupled with some other scattered income, it is estimated that Jin Ming's transfer fee will be able to be earned back soon.

"Assena, we must bring in Jin Ming. He is a money printing machine in his own right, a super money printing machine. ”

Wenger didn't speak, just quietly watched as Gazidis was excited there. After Gazidis finished speaking, he found that Wenger did not react, so he smiled and said: "Asena, what is your opinion." ”

Arsene Wenger has a high status at Arsenal.

Not only the number one in the field of competition, but even the management of Arsenal can be intervened. Of course, Gazidis knows how to do it, and Arsene Wenger also knows that he can't meddle in the club's running at will.

Gazidis is very excited, but in the end, whether to bring in Jin Ming or not, it still needs Wenger to make a decision.

If Arsene Wenger is against it, then it doesn't help that Gazidis is excited. Because Arsene Wenger is the absolute number one in the transfer field at Arsenal.

"Ivan, as long as there is no problem with money, of course I have no problem."

Suddenly, Wenger smiled slightly, which made Gazidis stunned for a moment. Soon he was very excited, though, as Arsene Wenger agreed to bring in Kim Ming. The arrival of Jin Ming, the arrival of this Chinese player, is definitely the most important step for Arsenal to expand its influence in China.

Gazidis's head kept turning, thinking about how Arsenal would develop the Chinese market after Jin Ming came to Arsenal. In the Chinese market, you should earn 30 or 40 million euros a year.

Steve. Lawley watched Gazidis fall into joy there, and couldn't help but say: "Ivan, even if we want to bring in Jin Ming, it depends on whether Jin Ming is willing to come to our Arsenal." The clubs he has been in contact with lately are not one or two, even Real Madrid. And before I came back, I had already heard a message. Manchester City's Marwood has been in contact with Kim Ming's agent. According to what I have learned, Manchester City are willing to pay £170,000 a week and £4 million in signings. ”

When Gazidis heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Damn nouveau riche. ”

Gazidis is really angry with an upstart like Manchester City. Originally, Arsenal had no money, and there were nouveau riche such as Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, and of course, bastard clubs like Real Madrid, which speculated the value of European football players too high.

Players who were originally only 10 million euros have become 20 million or 30 million after their intervention. It's a team like Arsenal that hurts the most.

Small teams can make money by selling good players. And the so-called traditional powerhouses like Arsenal, if they want to compete with top giants like Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City, and upstarts, they must bring in reinforcements. But where do they have so much money, which can be compared to Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City.

It is necessary to maintain combat effectiveness without bringing in players who are too valuable, which has become a dead knot.

In recent years, Arsenal has seen many talented players, but they have been unable to bring in due to financial problems. Because the value of talented players is also very high by them.

170,000 pounds, also thanks to them to think of it.

However, Gazidis quickly calmed down and said to Wenger: "Why don't we contact it first?" ”

Manchester City's intervention did make it difficult for Gazidis. After all, for modern football, history is a fart, and heritage is a fart. Unless Arsenal's history can be compared to that of a top club like Real Madrid, there is really no advantage against Chelsea and Manchester City.

Arsenal's highest salary is 100,000 pounds. And if you look at Manchester City, there are not one or two players with a weekly salary of more than 150,000 pounds.

What player is willing to give up his £170,000 a week and come over and get £70,000 or £80,000 a week. But Gazidis still has to work hard, and if he doesn't work hard to raise the white flag, it will be too embarrassing for Arsenal.

"Steve, you'd better get in touch first."

"Okay."

Steve. Lawley is not only Arsenal's chief scout, but also has been in direct contact with players in some cases. (To be continued......)
