"It's okay." Zhang Sheng suddenly figured it out, "How much is the funding gap for that project?"
"Actually, it's not that the group has no money." Zhang Zhijun explained the situation in detail, "This project was originally won by a Shanghai-based real estate developer, but later it was released due to funding problems. We at Evergrande all wanted it, and finally reached an agreement.
, each accounting for 50%. But now there is a sudden need for urgent negotiations to increase funds. Evergrande said it wants 51%, and you also know the gap between the two percentages."
After saying this, Zhang Sheng probably knew what was going on.
Guangzhou Evergrande must have contacted Du Zhenyu. They also know that the price will not be cheap and Evergrande can afford it, but whether the Longteng team can be sold is another matter. Now if the Longteng team sells, Longteng Group will
The funding problem will disappear. If it is not sold, the leadership of this project will be gone.
Evergrande only needs a gesture to raise funds, and Longteng Group will have to submit.
In fact, joint development of real estate is a major trend now. In first-tier cities like Shanghai, where land is extremely expensive, it is normal for two or even three real estate developers to join forces for a project, but who takes the lead varies greatly.
Companies like Evergrande, which has sufficient land reserves, smooth capital channels across the country, and accumulated savings, are much more calm than companies like Longteng Group, which have suddenly taken off in the past two or three years. The more the market is regulated, the more likely it is that the big fish will eat the small fish.
"For the central defender position, we still have sufficient reserves." Zhang Sheng patted his leg lightly and gave the answer, "Du Zhenyu certainly has a lot of work to do at Evergrande. But the transfer fee cannot be less than
150 million."
"If you really sell it to them, the project fund increase will definitely disappear." Zhang Zhijun said with a bitter smile.
Zhang Sheng did not let his father continue: "Dad, the club does need money now. The original loan to build the stadium has also reached the repayment period. Let's find a way together."
The next day, Du Zhenyu's father called and the other party politely requested a transfer.
"What do Du Zhenyu think?" Zhang Sheng was still a little reluctant.
"If the club can adjust the salary to be the same as the other party, we actually don't want to leave." Du's father was very direct.
"How many?"
Father Du hesitated for a moment, then said proudly: "Ten million."
Zhang Sheng held back a breath of cold air and shook his head: "It is impossible for the club to offer such a high salary."
Currently, the highest salary in Longteng Club is foreign player Chavez. His annual salary is 250,000 euros. The highest salary among domestic players is not the head forward Nie Jiang. His contract was signed last year for only 5 million yuan. Now the highest salary is
It's the team's vice-captain Ma Yongli. He is a veteran player of the team. He just signed a new contract in the middle of the year, with an annual salary of 6 million yuan.
Du Zhenyu's current salary in the team is 4 million per year. If he goes to Guangzhou Evergrande, his salary will more than double immediately, not to mention that Guangzhou Evergrande's winning bonus is much higher than that of the Dragons.
In fact, the salary of the domestic players of the Dragon Team is not too low. Tianjin Quanjian only paid 5 million to their captain Zhang Lu. Zhao Mingjian, Jiang Ning, and Yao Tian, who transferred to Hebei Huaxia last year, only had 6 million.
Millions, Zhang Xizhe, and Wu Lei are just shy of 10 million, but these players are the stars of their respective teams.
It can be seen that in the Chinese Super League, the salary of Longteng Club is at the upper middle level.
Evergrande is different. Gao Lin in their team already has more than 10 million. It is said that the salary has been increased this time and will reach 15 million. There are many other players with more than 10 million. These incomes are not considered permanent.
There is a reason why players from most clubs want to go to Evergrande due to the huge tournament prize money.
The excessive salary of Chinese Super League players has weighed on the club like an invisible boulder.
The Dragons have a lot of revenue this season. The Chinese Super League has a dividend of 100 million, plus other total appearance fees and bonuses reaching 130 million. Advertising fees are more than 400 million, and tickets have reached nearly 5,000.
10,000. Because of the good business development, this season’s business and merchandise revenue has reached more than 40 million.
Therefore, the club’s total revenue reached nearly 700 million (not counting transfer income), but the salary expenditures cost nearly 400 million (all salaries above are after tax, including the entire coaching team). This is still Pato and
Ben Alpha's salary expenses after his two highest-paid players left the team.
It is conceivable that because the Dragons do not have such good results and do not have so many good players, in order to ensure results, other clubs can only introduce foreign players at high prices and offer extremely high annual salaries - such as Guangzhou Evergrande's Diego Costa, whose annual salary
Up to 15 million euros, Paulinho 12 million euros, and J. Martinez, who has been injured for a long time and has not played, 12.5 million euros; SIPG offered Hulk
It is a bonus of 20 million euros, 24 million euros for the rumored foreign aid Oscar; and it is said that Shenhua is negotiating with Tevez for the world's largest annual salary of 38 million euros.
The income of these clubs is less than that of Longteng. Guangzhou Evergrande’s income this year is only 620 million, SIPG is less than 400 million, and Shenhua is just 300 million. Their salary expenses make them unable to make a profit at all. Like
Evergrande's expenditure this year is as high as 1 billion, SIPG is said to be 700 million, and Shenhua spent all its income on Tevez alone.
From a business perspective alone, it is a very urgent need for Chinese Super League clubs to reduce their salary burden.
If the Longteng Club also offers high salaries like Evergrande, the club's annual income, apart from salaries and daily expenses, will make a lot of money to invest in youth training - this year the club's investment in youth training is as high as 150 million.
In the end, Zhang Sheng flatly rejected Du's salary request.
Sure enough, the transfer negotiations between Longteng Club and Guangzhou Evergrande regarding Du Zhenyu have just begun, but Evergrande has relented on the Shanghai project, probably also waiting for the outcome of the negotiations.
On the second day after the negotiations started, Zhang Sheng also received an important news: because someone from the top raised objections, they believed that the Chinese Super League is now too dependent on high-priced and high-paid foreign players, and young players have few opportunities to play. Most of the games where young players from the team participate
They are all very few and cannot grow. On the contrary, the youth training of some clubs has developed well, and they can achieve good results with only three foreign players.
There are two meanings in this statement. One is that foreign aid, especially Yawai, is completely unnecessary, and the other is that young people must be given more opportunities.
Therefore, the Football Association sent letters of opinion to each club to discuss whether foreign players should keep the number 41, or change it to 31, and whether to add mandatory playing conditions for U23 players.
What Zhang Sheng didn't know was that compared to real history, due to the poor performance of the national team, the Chinese Super League team was eliminated from the AFC Champions League early. Under the instructions of the General Administration leadership, the foreign players directly changed from 41 to 31, and the 18-man roster must have two U23 players, one of whom must start.
This time the Football Association has given each club a buffer period to discuss before making a decision.
When such blockbuster news shocked the entire Chinese Super League, what also caught the eye was the equally blockbuster signing - the Chelsea player who has been rumored, Brazil's "Little Golden Man" Oscar, for 60 million euros Transferred to Shanghai SIPG, also transferred was Akhmedov, the captain of the Uzbekistan team from Asia and Foreign Affairs. His transfer fee was 7 million euros.
Regarding the opinion letter from the Chinese Football Association, in the long run, reducing the number of foreign players and controlling the trend of money-burning is worthy of encouragement, but the suddenness is too strong. Each club, especially those with AFC Champions League tasks, lacks the influence of an Asian foreign player. The strength is still very strong. After all, Chinese Super League clubs do not have a large number of outstanding local players like the K League and J League.
As for netizens online, they all have their own opinions.
Some are of the venting type: simply cancel the foreign aid, and every goal scored by U23 and below will be counted as two. A win for all U23s will be counted as 6 points. Winning seven games in a row will directly lead to the Chinese Super League championship!
Of course, someone replied below: Crazy hints at Team Dragon.
Some people question the execution process: What if all the young people are injured in a game and receive a red card? Are you still going to examine their injuries? I don’t believe it!
The same reply is below: Still hinting at the Dragons, and possibly Guangzhou Evergrande.
Some are head coach types: teach you a trick and replace the starting U23 player the first second after kickoff.
Some are big chess-type fans: We should have paid attention to the issue of foreign aid and young players long ago. Chinese football must proceed step by step and not be impatient.
There are also few players with conspiracy theories: The Football Association actually wants to destroy the entire defense line of the Korean team so that they can't play. At the same time, it also wants to destroy the core of Uzbekistan and make them collapse.
There are also a lot of fans: five foreign players, one in the starting lineup and four on the bench. Flexible scheduling, perfect!
From the standpoint of netizens and ordinary fans, most people certainly hope to see each team’s foreign players become more famous and stronger, so that the games will be more exciting.
From the media's standpoint, they also hope that there will be more stars and more news that fans will pay attention to.
At the same time, those who are most dissatisfied with the Football Association's opinion letter are the relevant practitioners. If there is one less foreign aid, the agent will lose countless commissions, the middleman will make a lot of money less, and the person who collects the kickback will have one less opportunity. That is also true. These people are the most scolded in the self-media.
Of course, Zhang Sheng secretly agreed with this opinion of the Football Association. No matter which one it was, it would be very beneficial to the Longteng team. However, Zhang Sheng really did not dare to agree loudly in public, because this offended not only one person.
Now think about the transfer issue of Du Zhenyu that Guangzhou Evergrande has discussed with itself. The price of 21-year-old Du Zhenyu will obviously be higher.
While each club was still debating, they did not relax transfers, and compared to last year, the price of players was higher.
The first shock - the shock here is not the shock of UC and Toutiao, but the news that really shocked all football people - is the news of Argentine star and former Manchester United forward, Tevez, nicknamed "The Beast" He was transferred from Boca Juniors to Shanghai Shenhua for 11 million euros. His annual salary is exactly as reported by the outside media - his weekly salary is as high as 615,000 pounds, making him the world's highest annual salary, far exceeding the two big players, Messi and Ronaldo. Superstar.
While everyone was still shocked that a former top player like Tevez came to the Chinese Super League, new news came.
Belgian midfielder Witsel was transferred to the new Chinese Super League tycoon Tianjin Quanjian for 20 million euros and an annual salary of more than 20 million euros. Then South Korean foreign aid Kwon Kyung-won was recruited to the team by Tianjin Quanjian for 11 million U.S. dollars. It’s not over yet.
, Yang Shanping, who has been rumored before, really transferred to Tianjin Quanjian for 100 million yuan (some say 60 million, and the other money is the signing fee). In addition to being a hit in the Chinese League transfer market last year,
They have hit the Chinese Super League transfer market again this year.
The same tycoon is Hebei China Fortune. Zhao Yuhao, whom they recruited from the relegated team Zhejiang Greentown, spent 100 million, and then came from Beijing for 150 million (one said 80 million, and the other was the signing fee).
National security took Zhang Chengdong away.
Such news is not only unbearable for Chinese fans, but also for foreigners. Spain's "Marca" also feels that this player whose actual worth is only 475,000 euros was sold for an outrageous price of 20 million euros.
Incredible.
Chelsea coach Conte directly criticized the Chinese Super League on the first day of 2017: "I think the amounts quoted are inappropriate, these prices are unreasonable, and we must have enough respect for money.
Such an attitude is not the right direction for the development of the football market."
When Conte said this, in fact, the real window for the Chinese Super League has just opened, because the winter transfer window for the 2017 season stipulated by the Football Association is January 1st - February 28th, 2017, but various clubs have long suppressed
Can't stand it any longer.
On the first day of the winter window period, an explosive news was announced by Guangzhou Evergrande: the 21-year-old rising star Du Zhenyu, the international center back of the Dragons, transferred to Guangzhou Evergrande.
The Longteng fans were calm. So many captains had left. They didn’t care about transferring such a player. They just wished him well. However, the Guangzhou Evergrande fans were laughing so hard that they couldn’t close their mouths. Liu Yong Zhuo Niu
B’s reply filled the entire Guangzhou Evergrande official WeChat account.
Neutral players have speculated how much Guangzhou Evergrande spent.
Some people speculated that it was 100 million, but they were quickly despised: "One hundred million? Buy a leg? What is Yang Shanping's level? 100 million, Zhang Chengdong wants 150 million. If you can call Du Zhenyu, the price will not be low.
, why do you need 200 million?"
"I think 200 million is too little. Think about it, if the U23 rules are really implemented, such a player will be scarce in the Chinese Super League, and his worth of 200 million will definitely increase by 50%. 3
Hundreds of millions." This is a fan with a bigger imagination.
In fact, Du Zhenyu's price is not so exaggerated. After negotiations with Guangzhou Evergrande and after the Shanghai project was restored to its original state, the price for his transfer to Guangzhou Evergrande was only 150 million yuan, which was the same as when Lin Feng transferred to Guangzhou Evergrande.
price.
With such additional conditions unknown to outsiders, Du Zhenyu's price can still reach 150 million. Can you imagine what the price will be like if he really wants to force the purchase?
When Du Zhenyu left the team, there was another player in the team who asked for a transfer, that is midfielder Xiong Jian, who played awkwardly in the Longteng team and was never physically fit enough. At the same time, he was attracted by the high salary outside.
