The days passed quickly, and after a few days of boredom, Ma Fanshu and Lei Yu boarded the flight back to China alone.
This summer, the relationship between the two was finally settled.
Lei Yu's personal social media at home and abroad also stated in a high profile that he was no longer single.
The whole world is guessing who this lucky Chinese girl is.
Some people guessed that she was the daughter of a certain group, others guessed that she was the daughter of a high-ranking official, and still others guessed that she was a well-known star.
But no one would have thought that Lei Yu's girlfriend was just an ordinary sophomore who was still in college.
Ma Fanshu's usual low profile allowed her to perfectly avoid the sight of the paparazzi.
...
After learning that Lei Yu had officially found his girlfriend, Nasha also called to congratulate her and briefly explained the contents of Arsenal's new contract.
"Dear, do you know? Because of you, the entire Premier League has benefited!"
In the past few years, the Eurozone crisis has swept across the mainland, and Serie A and La Liga have been plagued by disasters. Real Madrid and Barcelona, for example, can only use the income from eliminating redundant personnel to strengthen their lineups, while Milan can only sell off its stars to pay off its debts.
In France, Lyon and Marseille, the once unparalleled top clubs, are in financial crisis and are so embarrassed that they don't even have chest advertisements.
Even the Bundesliga, which has the healthiest football economy in recent years, the economic data at the beginning of this season is not optimistic.
Britain, isolated in the northwest, is also in a financial crisis, but this does not seem to affect the Premier League's economic indicators at all.
Because Lei Yu was so prominent in the Champions League final, before the start of the new Premier League season, the top 20 chest advertising sponsorship reached a record-breaking 200 million pounds!
A surge of 45% compared to the 2011/12 season, surpassing the Bundesliga in one fell swoop and becoming the most economically valuable league in the football world again.
In addition to chest advertising, there are also television broadcasts, sponsors, etc.
Tottenham, among the six major Premier League clubs, has the least number of secondary sponsors, five. Looking at Europe, even Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern, which are the most developed in the commercial field, have only a handful of secondary sponsors.
For example, Arsenal, who struggled for seven years to win a championship trophy, has signed contracts with as many as 8 secondary sponsors!
Barcelona, which has been so popular in recent years, has two Champions League trophies and four La Liga titles, but has only signed five second-level sponsors.
For a time, the Premier League became the league with the greatest commercial influence in the world.
"I don't want to hear how many benefits the Premier League gets, I just want to know about my own!" Lei Yu said impatiently.
"Okay, then I'll pick a few simple ones and tell you!"
The first is worth.
After the baptism of the Champions League, Lei Yu's net worth has soared.
Coupled with the favor of major wealthy clubs, the assessment given by "Kicker" directly reached 100 million pounds, which is not much different from Arsenal's newly signed liquidated damages.
Second is salary.
Lei Yu's weekly salary has risen directly from 100,000 pounds to 600,000 pounds. This figure is a high salary in the world, let alone Arsenal.
Of course, plus some income from appearance bonuses, commercial activities, endorsements, sponsors, etc., from the current literal point of view, Lei Yu can earn at least 65 million a year.
Apart from Melo, no one else has earned more in football than Lei Yu.
Of course, the reason why they are not as good as Melo is entirely because Arsenal is too poor.
The Gunners have set many goals for Lei Yu based on the new season. Only after these goals are achieved will follow-up funding be provided.
Moreover, Lei Yu's new contract also states the commission ratio that Lei Yu will receive from his next employer, his next employer, and even his next employer after he transfers in the future.
For such a "rigorous" and "high-standard" contract, Nasha worked hard for nearly two months before "wrangling" with Arsenal to complete it.
And according to Nasha, if Lei Yu chooses to leave the Gunners and join a club like Manchester City that is not short of money, his salary will even directly exceed that of Melo.
Of course, Nasha also held on to Lei Yu's signing fees, image rights and other major additional benefits for Lei Yu, ensuring that Lei Yu could make up for the club's poor losses elsewhere.
...
After the European Cup and the Olympic Games, the new season is getting closer.
The competition among Premier League teams in the transfer market has also reached a fierce stage.
Before returning to Kearny, Lei Yu received a piece of news that made him extremely angry.
Robin van Persie transfers!
The next second he learned the news, Lei Yu called Van Persie's mobile phone.
"Hey, Lao Fan, what's going on with you?"
Listening to Lei Yu's furious rebuke, Van Persie on the phone looked unusually calm.
After Lei Yu finished speaking, Van Persie said calmly.
"Lei, this matter has been planned as early as the beginning of the year."
"That's right! It was planned at the beginning of the year. Isn't it enough for you to change your mind after half a year?" Lei Yu was still angry.
"Ray, Sir Alex is good to me. He promised me a lot..."
"What he gave you, couldn't Arsenal give it to you? When did the boss restrict your appearance? When did the boss restrict your playing style? When did..."
Before Lei Yu could finish speaking, Van Persie suddenly said: "Lei, I never said it was the boss's problem. But Arsenal, how much salary do you think they will give me?"
Hearing the word "salary", Lei Yu calmed down.
Immediately afterwards, Van Persie whispered again on the other end of the phone: "Arsenal has been so stingy in the past, why should they give you such a high annual salary... Lei, I think you should know better than anyone else."
After Van Persie finished speaking, a busy tone sounded on the other end of the phone.
Van Persie hung up the phone.
After hearing Van Persie's reminder, Lei Yu reacted.
The sensitive word "vampire" has indeed been mentioned in the London media these days.
How much did Arsenal give up to keep themselves?
Could it be that his salary was really scrapped together by a gunman?
In order to raise his salary and retain himself, even Van Persie, the champion of the Champions League, was sold!?
This is too...
People die for money, birds die for money.
Perhaps Van Persie still feels that Arsenal is very likely to return to the Premier League championship in the new season, but in the face of reality, he still chose Sir Alex Ferguson, who extended an olive branch to him.
...
This summer, Manchester City, which has already won the championship, continues to make purchases. For Blue Moon, their first task is to consolidate the team and defend the country.
In this transfer window, they spent up to 50 million pounds to buy Rodwell (midfielder, Everton, 15 million), Xavi Garcia (midfielder, Benfica, 16 million), Nastasic (defender, Fiorentina)
,10 million), Maicon (defender, Inter Milan, 3 million) and Scott (winger, Swansea, 8 million).
As the rival of Blue Moon in the same city, Manchester United, which lost the championship at the last moment, did not show any weakness and also paid more than 50 million for purchase.
In addition to poaching Van Persie from Arsenal for 35 million, he also bought Butner (left back, Carlos Tevez, 3 million), Shinji Kagawa (midfielder, Dortmund, 17 million) and others.
As for the blue team Chelsea, which has no harvest, it continues to be the most expensive club in the Premier League.
Abramovich spent up to 80 million pounds to buy Azpilicueta (left back, Marseille, 7 million), Moses (winger, Wigan Athletic, 9 million), Hazard (midfielder, Lille, 32 million)
, Oscar (midfielder, Brazil International, 25 million), Marco Marin (midfielder, Werder Bremen, 7 million) and others.
As the new season was about to start, Lei Yu suddenly received a call.
The professor on the other side of the phone did not explain the reason, but just asked casually: "Lei, what kind of forward do you like to play with?"
Since the call came to him, Lei Yu said casually.
"Like Lao Fan!"
"Lei, I'm not kidding you!" The professor's voice was also full of helplessness.
Obviously, if he could make the decision, he would not want to sell Van Persie.
Seeing Wenger say this, Lei Yu also sighed.
"If it's a center, I hope to have a support teammate who can be seen at a glance and can provide frontcourt protection, who is strong, has a keen sense of smell in front of the goal, is skillful with his feet, and can be a green leaf.
"
"Oh, is that so? Okay, I understand." After hearing Lei Yu use a long list of adjectives, the professor nodded.
Two days after Wenger hung up the phone, Arsenal's official website announced that they had officially signed the forward Olivier Giroud from Montier.
The French forward is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 88kg.
Coupled with the "hair" all over his face, you can see him in person when you look up on the court.
The 26-year-old Giroud signed a four-year contract with Arsenal after passing the medical examination and soon came to the Colney training base to join the other Gunners.
"I am excited to join a team with such a high reputation as Arsenal. I believe that in the new season, I will create new results!" Giroud said with excitement after completing the signing.
"From the first moment I heard about Arsenal's interest in me, I couldn't help but imagine how excited I would be to put on an Arsenal shirt."
"Arsenal also has an amazing teammate like Ray, and I think I will integrate into the team very well."
With the addition of Giroud, and after the Gunners sent their own striker Robin van Persie, the forward staff really felt relieved.
