King of the Zone

He scored in two consecutive friendly matches and scored twice as a substitute in 20 minutes. It would be inappropriate for the German media accompanying the team to turn a blind eye to Cheng Hai.

Therefore, in the reports on Dortmund's second pre-season friendly match in several local newspapers in Germany or the Ruhr area that were published the next morning, the report on Cheng Hai was not just a name, but a lot more content.

As one of the Bundesliga giants, although Dortmund's pre-season friendly match is not of high importance, Germany's largest "Bild" still reported Dortmund's 5-0 away victory over Floridsdorf in the absence of other major events.

Of course, the length is not large, just a few paragraphs.

There is only one picture.

The key point is that the accompanying picture is the moment when Cheng Hai kicked a lob shot when he scored the first one-handed goal.

Although it's just a side view, there is a line of small words below to explain: "Cheng Hai is shooting."

This is enough to make Cheng Hai famous.

In the text, the reporter of "Bild" also praised Cheng Hai.

"According to our newspaper, yesterday, Borussia Dortmund had a pre-season friendly match against Austrian C-League Floridsdorf in an away game to test the team's recent pre-season training results."

"In the game, Dortmund used their strong strength to completely control the game and finally won 5-0."

"Among them, Barrios and newly joined Japanese player Shinji Kagawa each scored a goal, and Westfalen's darling Mario Gotze also performed well and scored a goal."

"The first few players have performed well, but there are players who have performed better, and they are not yet an official player."

“名叫程海的99号前锋在这场比赛中第70分钟才被换上场，但他却在替补上场的20几分钟内上演了梅开二度，最后帮助球队取得5-0的大胜。”

"Combining the one goal scored in the last friendly match, Cheng Hai has scored three goals in two friendly matches. He is in a brave state and is better than most of the players in the team."

"But why do you say he is not an official Dortmund player yet?"

"Because as of press time, Cheng Hai is still just a young player who came to Dortmund from Huaguo to participate in trial training."

"It is understood that Cheng Hai has no professional game experience before, and he did not even come from the youth training camp of professional clubs. He is a college amateur player in Huaguo. He was recommended by Dortmund scout Emory to the team to participate in the team's trial training when he participated in the Huaguo University Football League National Finals in June."

"As a result, in the two friendly matches during the trial training period, Cheng Hai scored three goals in a row in the two friendly matches."

"This kind of background and the number of goals scored can be called inspirational."

"After Mario Gotze, Dortmund is expected to harvest another young talent."

"I hope to see Cheng Hai in the official Bundesliga game as soon as possible."

The report on Dortmund is not the front page headlines, not even in the important pages of the previous editions, just a tofu block article relatively late in the football section.

But even so, with the circulation and influence of "Bild" in Germany, Cheng Hai became famous overnight.

Coupled with the reports of several other local newspapers in the Ruhr area, several Chinese media reporters who were editing news about Hao Junmin at the Schalke 04 club naturally knew of Cheng Hai's existence.

When I saw this report for the first time, everyone still couldn't believe it.

But seeing the following media say so, everyone has to believe that there is really a Chinese player who participated in the trial training in Dortmund and performed well, even arousing praise from Germany's largest media "Bild".

At this time, someone remembered a report just after the domestic football match, and everyone quickly searched the Internet, and sure enough, they found news about Cheng Hai winning the national football championship, winning the best player and top scorer, being spotted by Dortmund scouts, and invited to Dortmund for trial training.

This is a real hammer. The news that Huaguo player Cheng Hai had a trial training in Dortmund couldn't be more true.

Everyone became excited at once, immediately packed up their things and rushed towards Dortmund.

According to the report in "Bild", if Cheng Hai, who scored three goals in two friendly matches, can't pass the trial training and sign with Dortmund, then the management of Dortmund will be blind.

At that time, the Bundesliga will have two Huaguo players playing, and the Huaguo Derby in the Bundesliga will be staged in the most popular Ruhr Derby.

It's exciting just thinking about it!

What's more, even leaving aside the factors of the Huaguo Derby, Cheng Hai, as a college amateur player, directly joined the Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, which is also full of news. A report will definitely be warmly welcomed by fans and readers when he returns to China.

That's why everyone rushed to Dortmund so impatiently, wanting to interview Cheng Hai immediately.

Of course, the "Bild" that reporters can see, Klopp, as a practitioner, must read it every day like the club management.

After seeing the praise of Cheng Hai from the largest German newspaper, Klopp and Dortmund's management knew that things were in trouble.

If the signing with Cheng Hai is not completed immediately today, they believe that there will definitely be a large number of scouts from other teams outside Dortmund's training base today.

Among them, Bayern Munich's scouts are indispensable.

Therefore, before the training started, the general manager called Klopp and asked him to bring Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi to the office. Cheng Hai lived in the base dormitory at night and hadn’t had access to today’s latest newspapers. He hadn’t started training, and the players living outside, such as Shinji Kagawa, had no time to tell Cheng Hai about the report, and immediately restarted the signing negotiations.

The decision of the club is correct.

Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi really didn't know that he had been highlighted by "Bild" and was already famous. He would definitely attract competition from Bayern, other Bundesliga giants, and even several other major league giants.

When the two of them had just arrived at the stadium and hadn't entered the locker room to change their training uniforms, Klopp stopped them and said, "Cheng Hai, don't participate in the training, go to the office building with me, and then discuss the signing. You performed very well yesterday. The general manager of the club and the director of the athletic department are very satisfied. They think that we can discuss some conditions."

Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi, who didn't know the specific situation, were naturally very happy, and happily followed Klopp to the club's office building.

As for training, Klopp will naturally leave it to the assistant coach.

In the small conference room of the club, the two sides restarted the signing negotiations again.

This time, no matter whether it was the general manager, the director of the athletic department, or the lawyer, they all put away their contempt and even contempt for Cheng Hai, appearing to be sincere.

But Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi didn't know about the "Bild" report, and they didn't know that Dortmund was determined to sign a contract with Cheng Hai today. They just thought that yesterday's brace had impressed the club.

Therefore, in the case of unequal information between the two parties, the negotiation process is very fast and smooth.

It took less than 2 hours for both parties to reach an agreement.

According to the latest negotiated terms between the two parties, Cheng Hai signed a five-year contract with Dortmund until June 5, 2015, with a liquidated damages of 6 million euros.

The liquidated damages of 5000 million euros, in Dortmund's view, has been set high enough.

Moreover, in order to avoid making wedding dresses for others, Dortmund also requires that the liquidated damages clause must be at least three seasons later, that is, it will not take effect until July 2013, 7.

Dortmund feels that the high liquidated damages and the three-year clause are enough.At that time, if someone really took advantage of him and offered 5000 million euros to take Cheng Hai away, they would not lose money.

For Cheng Hai, 5000 million euros is no obstacle at all.

For Dortmund, they took advantage of Cheng Hai's ignorance of the "Bild" to make up their minds to deal with Cheng Hai today, which is a kind of information asymmetry.

But for Cheng Hai, he took advantage of the fact that outsiders didn't know that he had a system cheat, so that the liquidated damages set by Dortmund were only a mere 5000 million euros, which is also a kind of information asymmetry.

He believes that with the help of system plug-ins, it will not be a problem for him to exceed the world record transfer fee of 9400 million euros created by Ronaldo when he transferred to Real Madrid last year.

The only problem is the liquidated damages clause that only takes effect in three years, which is a bit long.

However, after discussing with Fu Hangyi, Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi felt that, for the 18-year-old Cheng Hai, although the three seasons were a bit longer, it was not completely unacceptable.

Because the club showed a posture of not signing the contract if they did not accept this clause, Cheng Hai finally agreed.

It is not completely unacceptable to stay in the Bundesliga giants Dortmund for three seasons.Anyway, he is only 18 years old, and even after three seasons, he will only be 21 years old, which is still very young!
In fact, Cheng Hai didn't know that if he persisted to the end, the liquidated damages clause would take effect after two seasons and Dortmund would also be acceptable.

However, because of the unequal information, this result was negotiated.

But Cheng Hai was already satisfied.

After all, it is much better than the previous club not accepting the liquidated damages clause at all.

The liquidated damages clause was negotiated, the contract period was shortened, and Cheng Hai also got more share of the image spokesperson.

From 9% to 8% of the previous team, and only limited to Dortmund's internal merchandise sales, that is, posters, jerseys, sneakers with Cheng Hai's name and avatar printed on them, Cheng Hai only took [-]% of the sales before to [-]%.

Then, when it comes to global image endorsements other than Huaguo, the two sides are reversed, Cheng Hai gets [-]% and the team gets [-]%.

As for the domestic image endorsements in Huaguo, the club is not eligible for points, and all of them belong to Cheng Hai.

This is also much looser than Dortmund's previous offer to Cheng Hai.

Both Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi felt satisfied, and did not ask for more in terms of salary and bonus.

Of course, with the performance of scoring three goals in two games, the previously discussed weekly salary of 2000 euros is also not worthy of his performance and potential.

In the end, the two sides agreed on a weekly salary of 4000 euros. Although it is still the lowest in the team, it is already close to the weekly salary of Goetze and Shinji Kagawa, which is not a shame.

In fact, Cheng Hai didn't know that even if he asked for the same weekly salary as Gotze and Shinji Kagawa, the club would agree.

Because Dortmund must sign Cheng Hai today to prevent him from being poached by other clubs.

But for the same reason as before, because the information was not equal, Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi lost more confidence in bargaining.

For Cheng Hai, signing the contract earlier and getting the German rewards for the signing task earlier would also be able to get rid of the days of having to rely on Fu Hangyi's translation as soon as possible, and better communicate with coaches and teammates.

In addition to salary, various bonus terms such as goal awards and championship awards have also been slightly increased.

Moreover, in the end Klopp also offered to propose a signing fee of 10 euros, and Dortmund's general manager and others also agreed.

This became the last favorable condition for the two parties to reach a final agreement and sign the contract immediately.

Both parties signed the Chinese-German bilingual contract, and Cheng Hai officially became an official player of Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

Afterwards, the staff of the club took care of things like renting a house, applying for a bank card, and applying for a work visa for Cheng Hai.

Of course, Cheng Hai had to pay the rent of the house himself.

After all, he still has a signing fee of 10 euros.Converted into RMB, it is as high as 100 million!
Although a large amount of personal income tax will be deducted, there will be a lot of leftovers!
This is also one of the reasons why Cheng Hai failed to stick to the end and negotiated a lower contract period and liquidated damages effective period.

After all, for Cheng Hai, who was just an ordinary college student with a poor family background, such a signing fee is really a lot, and it can reduce the pressure on parents a lot.

Coupled with the reason that you can get German rewards after signing the contract, things have become like this.

Witnessed by everyone, the contract was signed, the general manager of the club and Cheng Hai both smiled, and Klopp, Fu Hangyi and others also applauded.

At least for the next three years, the two sides will be in the same trench!
At the same time, the moment Cheng Hai signed, an electronic sound from the system to issue rewards came to his mind: "Congratulations to the host for completing 'Task 2: Signing with Dortmund' and receiving German (daily use) rewards. Rewards are being distributed..."

Then, Cheng Hai suddenly had a lot of hazy feelings in his mind. He felt as if he knew German naturally.

But this feeling couldn't be grasped in his mind, which made him want to say some complicated sentences in German but he couldn't speak them. He could only clearly understand the pronunciation and writing of a few simple daily German expressions.

This made Cheng Hai wonder: Is this the German for everyday use?Is it too bad?

At this moment, an electronic voice came from the system: "The German rewards have been distributed, but in order to avoid the host's abnormal behavior from being suspected by the outside world, most of the host's German is temporarily blocked, and it will be gradually unlocked within the next month according to the host's study and life contact status, so as to obtain complete daily German listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. The host is requested to keep Fu Hangyi, or hire another Chinese-German bilingual teacher to learn German."

It was only then that Cheng Hai suddenly realized that most of his abilities were blocked in order to prevent him from being suspected when he suddenly learned German, and it would take a month to gradually unlock them.

No wonder he can't speak those complicated sentences now.

But it's already good, and it's definitely better than some players who can't learn a foreign language by death.

One month later, he will no longer have any obstacles in communicating with his teammates and coaches, which will be more beneficial to his career.

This makes Cheng Hai full of expectations for future Bundesliga games.

Just as Cheng Hai was thinking about it, the system that issued the signing rewards released a new task.Moreover, there are three at one time.

Mission 3: Bundesliga Championship

Task requirements: Help Dortmund win the 2010/2011 German Bundesliga championship
Success reward: 50 skill points
……

Mission 4: DFB Cup Winner
Task requirements: Help Dortmund win the 2010/2011 German FA Cup

Success reward: 30 skill points
……

Mission 5: UEFA Cup Winner
Task requirements: Help Dortmund win the UEFA Cup in the 2010/2011 season

Success reward: 100 skill points
Seeing the skill points rewarded by the three missions, Cheng Hai swallowed suddenly.

If he can win these three championships at the same time and achieve the honor of the minor triple crown, then the reward of 180 skill points alone is enough for him to directly add many skills to the full value of 20.

Then won't he become even more perverted next season?
Thinking about it makes people look forward to it.

Of course, no matter which championship it is, it will not be easy, and Cheng Hai and his teammates need to work hard.

……

While Cheng Hai was thinking about it, Klopp, who witnessed the signing, had already made up his mind. He immediately sold Langelof, who was wearing the No. 9 jersey, and gave Cheng Hai the remaining No. 9 jersey.

Although Cheng Hai's current physical fitness does not seem to be able to play the main force, but now that the two parties have signed a contract, it will take a long time!

Judging from Cheng Hai's progress during this period, Klopp believes that Cheng Hai's physical fitness will eventually meet the requirements of playing a full professional game!

Cheng Hai's physical fitness was not good before, just because he had not experienced professional football training!
At the same time, Klopp thought it over, he would also ask the nutritionist to give Cheng Hai a separate meal, to give him weight and height.

Although Cheng Hai has a good physique, he still has some disadvantages when facing tall opponents in professional football, especially when it comes to headers.

Therefore, if Cheng Hai's height and weight could be increased, it would undoubtedly be more perfect.

Unknowingly, Klopp has placed Cheng Hai in the same position as Mario Gotze, and needs to carry out all-round training.

Just when the two parties signed the contract, chatted for a while about Cheng Hai's needs for housing, and when the meeting was about to end, a club staff member knocked on the door and came in. Many media from Germany and China came outside, asking to interview Cheng Hai.

The general manager and the others knew the purpose of these reporters' visit, and they were all attracted by the "Bild" in the morning.

They also know that besides the reporters, there must be many scouts from other teams outside the base, and some people are even coming from farther places one after another.

This made everyone extremely rejoicing: Fortunately, Cheng Hai's contract has been settled.

Otherwise, let Cheng Hai know that he has already appeared in "Bild" and has become famous all over Europe. I'm afraid it will not be so easy to sign a contract.
