Chapter 14: Returning Home
Coming out of the Tokyo FC club, Thomas Krott had a smile on his face: "OK, basically a verbal agreement has been reached, the other party will sign you, but since you are a college player, it will take some time to help you register, I will help you get it right." ”
"So easy?"
"One is because you're doing well, and more importantly, because you don't have to spend a transfer fee to sign you, and they can send you to the youth team even if they don't need it, and it won't have any impact on the club."
"I'm Chinese, won't I take up their foreign aid quota?"
"Don't worry about that, the J-League today is not the J-League of 20 years ago. 20 years ago, in the J League, all teams wanted to have 10 foreign aid places to be enough, and now the J League is shrinking financially, and the clubs are very cautious in their transfer spending, and many of them can't use up their three foreign aid places, not to mention that you still belong to Asian foreign aid. ”
Nowadays, the J League's foreign aid policy is 3+1+1, three unrestricted foreign aids, one Asian foreign aid and one under 20 years old, but many teams are limited by finances, and the three unrestricted foreign aides cannot be spent, let alone others, and there were only two Brazilian foreign players in the Tokyo FC team last season. Ringer's move to Tokyo FC has taken up at most a small number of Asian foreign players at the club (both Japanese and South Korean teams think that Asian foreign players are not as useful as their own local players).
"Okay, Thomas, you can take care of the registration for me, I'm going back to China."
"Back to China? Okay, but you'd better come back as soon as possible after the registration is completed, and you should know the situation in Japan, your salary is definitely not much, so you have to be prepared. ”
"I know that."
The general wage system in Japan is the annual merit system, which simply means that the longer you stay in a company, the higher the salary you can get, and as long as you work for a company for a long time, you will receive a salary increase every year, and the salary is proportional to the length of service.
This system was originally created to encourage loyalty, but now it has developed into a slightly deformed and rather unfriendly to young people, especially for young people. In many companies in Japan, young people are tired and tired to support the company's main business, but the salary they get is not as good as the cleaning aunt who has swept the land in the company for ten years.
This system has also infiltrated the Japanese professional football industry, where young players are paid a meager salary even if they are in the thighs of the team, and veteran players can still receive the highest salary in the team when they are about to play, which is also a rare and unique sight in world football. Of course, there are two sides to everything, and this unique system suppresses young players and makes them not get good treatment, but it also makes capable young players sharpen their heads and squeeze into Europe, because in Europe, the salary is proportional to the pay, and young players can only really make a lot of money when they go to Europe.
In principle, this system only applies to local Japanese players, and foreign aid is not applicable, but Ringer is a college player who studied in Japan, and at the same time, he is not famous, so he is naturally classified as a local player.
On January 5th, Ringer boarded the plane back to China, and the fat man was not together, this time period was the Japanese New Year holiday, and it was also a good time for the fat man and his fox friends to spend time drinking.
After more than three hours of plane, Ringer landed at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. Speaking of which, Ringer was born in Su Province, a high-ranking official, and the fat man is also from Su Province. When Ringer was a freshman, his father changed jobs, and a professor at Nanjing University became a professor at Sun Yat-sen University in eastern Guangdong, and his mother also moved to work here, and Ringer was in Guangzhou for the first time.
"Dad, where is our new home?" Dad Lin personally drove to pick him up.
"Haizhu District."
"Where is Haizhu District?"
"You don't know."
There is a generation gap, and the communication barrier is quite serious.
Although he didn't know where it was, Ringer could tell that he should have entered the city, the distance was not close, and it took an hour to drive. Eventually, Lin's father's slightly old Beijing Hyundai drove into the wooded complex, and Ringer guessed that his parents lived in the school, and when he first entered the door, he saw the name of National Sun Yat-sen University.
"Xiaolin, I'm back." This is my mother who heard the sound of the car and came down.
Grid has the meaning of inference and measurement. Ringer's father is engaged in philosophy, and he was given such a name back then, and his mother felt that it was not good to call him Xiaoge, and she thought it was a little brother if she didn't pay attention, so she called him Xiaolin, so there was an old Lin and a small forest in the family.
Later, the Xiaoao Jianghu TV series was on the air, and Ringer was called Xiaolinzi by the fat man.
When Ringer came back, he called home first, so his mother specially prepared a meal and waited for him, and soon, Lin's dinner officially began.
"Xiaolin, the food in Japan is not to taste, you can eat more of this spicy chicken."
"He's been there for two years, and he should have gotten used to eating coarse chaff and light rice a long time ago."
"You know what? I didn't tell you to eat it. ”
Before high school, Ringer only felt aggrieved at home, and only thought about escaping, but now that he was reborn, he felt silent warmth.
"Mom, you're not the dean of academic affairs now?" My mother changed to work in Guangzhou, and I heard that she is now just a simple English teacher.
"It's not good, you don't have to worry about those teaching tasks in your heart, the college entrance examination indicators, just simply go to and from class, it's a lot easier." Mother Lin really looked a lot more relaxed.
When he was in middle school, Ringer thought that the dean of academic affairs was a terrible position, and the job content was to force everyone to study to death, but now he thinks about it ridiculously.
"I decided to play professional football." The purpose of Ringer's return this time is to say this, after all, this is not a trivial matter, it is better to come back and say it in person.
The living room fell silent, and both of them looked up at Ringer.
"Really, I'm sure."
"Now that it's decided, what else is there to say." Father Lin was obviously a little angry, slammed the bowl on the table, and went back to the study alone.
"Xiaolin, you went to play football, what about your studies?" Father Lin and Mother Lin are highly educated after all, and their acceptance of this matter is still very high, just now Father Lin was too surprised to hear the news. In fact, they just feel that there is no way out of football, and they are worried that Ringer may be more of a whim.
"I don't have to worry about my studies, but in Japan, there are a lot of college students who play professional football, and there is a special policy to deal with this situation."
"Okay, you have to take care of your studies, the diploma of the University of Tokyo is still very important, if you don't play football well, you should go back to school quickly." After the meal, Ringer also explained the situation of college football in Japan to Lin's mother, Lin's mother spoke seriously, but Ringer felt a little sour in his heart, he knew that his parents were worried about him.
"You clean up the bowls, and I'll go tell your dad." Mother Lin also entered the study.
Ringer breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally done, it was much easier than he imagined, he was worried that it would cause deeper family conflicts, you must know that when he went to study in Japan, his family was not very satisfied.
For the next week or so, Ringer walked around Guangzhou to get acquainted with it, after all, his parents were going to live in the city for a long time. Both parents still have to go to class, so naturally they can't accompany him, so he can only hang out alone.
When he was bored, Ringer also looked through sports newspapers and found that there were two hot spots about football in domestic sports newspapers.
First, China lost 0:1 to Iraq two months ago and was eliminated in the top 20 of the Asian zone in the World Cup qualifiers in Brazil, and the aftermath of this incident has not completely passed. After all, it can't even make it to the top 10, and China can only be regarded as a second-rate level in Asia. The Spaniard Camacho is being criticized, he has an annual salary of up to 40 million yuan from the Chinese Football Association, and the Chinese team has no important games to play in the next three years, and he deserves to be scolded.
Another thing is the just-concluded Chinese Super League, the first Chinese Super League Jinyuan football, Guangzhou Evergrande won the Chinese Super League championship as a promoted horse, and the Chinese sports media are looking to the future, predicting whether Evergrande can achieve a three-year triple jump (the champion of the Chinese Super League to the champion of the Chinese Super League and then to the AFC Champions League).
