King of the Zone

Chapter 67 Homecoming

After completing the contract amendment with Dortmund, Cheng Hai took the title of "Mr. 1 Million Euros" and got on the plane back to China, accompanied by Baker and several of his assistants.

There are still several endorsement contracts in China that require Cheng Hai to sign, shoot commercials, etc., as well as an exclusive interview with CCTV-5.

Cheng Hai is completely popular in China.

At Beiping International Airport, thousands of fans even came to pick up Cheng Hai, and the momentum was no less than that of any entertainment star in China.

Cheng Hai helped the Olympic team win the Asian Games championship, the Bundesliga top scorer list, the world record of 100 seconds for 9.56 meters, 1 million euro liquidated damages and other events, so that he will not be weaker than any domestic entertainment star in terms of popularity or popularity.

In Beiping, Cheng Hai signed endorsements for three top domestic brands, shot commercials for a few days, attended a charity gala, and donated some money.

While Cheng Hai was stranded in Beiping on business, on December 12, the Football Association announced the final squad for the 28th Qatar Asian Cup in 2011.

This is the real Huaguo men's football team, not the U23 Olympic team. The games played are international A`level events, and the goals scored can also be counted as career goals, not like the Olympic team's Asian Games games. Goals can only be counted as youth team goals, not career goals.

There is no doubt that Cheng Hai was selected into the National Football Team with the number 9 representing the main striker, and Cheng Hai was appointed as the first captain.

You know, this is the adult national team, and Zheng Zhi, the oldest member of the team, is already 30 years old.Apart from Cheng Hai, the youngest player is also 21 years old, 3 years older than Cheng Hai.

In this way, Cheng Hai was also appointed as the captain of the national team, which shows how high the Football Association and the national football coaching staff have placed on Cheng Hai.

And Zheng Zhi and other national football veterans did not express any dissatisfaction. In interviews, they all expressed their welcome to Cheng Hai to join the national football family. Cheng Hai's current strength and achievements are unparalleled in domestic football.

Although Cheng Hai is young, he has great reputation and high prestige. If he is the captain and leads everyone to fight for the Asian Cup, no one will be unconvinced.

It can be said that as long as Cheng Hai does not get injured and retires early, Cheng Hai will be the main force and captain of the Chinese national team for more than ten years.

Of course, there may be a few people who are a little bit unconvinced in their hearts and feel that Cheng Hai is not qualified enough, but they dare not speak out.

With Cheng Hai's great prestige as Olympic captain, Asian Games gold medalist, 100m 9.56 seconds, and No. 1 scorer in the Bundesliga, the media, fans, and even the Football Association all support Cheng Hai as the captain.

When Cheng Hai was interviewed, he was not hypocritical. He thanked the national team for the recruitment and appointment, and said that he would go all out to lead the big brothers of the national football team to make a breakthrough in the Asian Cup.

Although Cheng Hai did not say the words of winning the championship, the national football team has already won the runner-up in the Asian Cup before.

To make a breakthrough in the Asian Cup, there is only the champion. The implication of Cheng Hai's words is obvious, that is to go for the championship!

This made the media and fans very excited and looking forward to it.

The national football team will report on December 12, flying from Beiping to Qatar to prepare for the Asian Cup.

The first game of the Hua Guo team in the Asian Cup is on January 2011, 1. The national football team will prepare for the game in Qatar for a week.

However, after Cheng Hai applied, he was allowed to postpone, and he could fly to Qatar on January 1 to meet up.

Because the Bundesliga ended much later than the Chinese Super League, it was already December 12th when Cheng Hai finished dealing with Beiping, and he still wanted to go back to his hometown to rest for a few days!
If it was someone else, the head coach would never agree.

However, because Cheng Hai showed extraordinary recovery ability during the Asian Games, the head coach Gao Hongbo agreed to Cheng Hai's application to postpone the report.

On December 12, after handling the brand endorsement and media interviews in Beiping, Cheng Hai took the opportunity to fly back to his hometown of Qianzhou Province.

Returning to Qianzhou with Cheng Hai also included a private secretary, Yue Yonghao, and a professional bodyguard, Han Zhijun.Of course, all men.

After all, they are all people with an annual salary of 2000 million yuan, and they are still public figures, so logistics and security still need to keep up.

Therefore, after discussing with Cheng Hai, Baker recruited a private secretary who is proficient in German and English and a professional bodyguard who understands English in Beiping, and first solved some basic travel accommodation and safety issues.

In addition, after Baker returns to Europe, he will help him recruit a financial assistant who is proficient in European and American finance to deal with his financial problems.

Cheng Hai's current income has increased dramatically, but it's not only a matter of the club's annual salary and bonuses, but also a huge amount of endorsement fees.

Backed by the huge Huaguo market, even if the number of endorsements by Cheng Hai is not very large, he still earns much more than stars in other countries.

For example, if Bolt was born in China, his net worth would have skyrocketed by more than ten times.

According to a rough estimate, Cheng Hai’s current annual salary at the club is more than 200 million euros, and the income from bonuses and endorsement fees may be higher than the annual salary, which can reach 500 million euros.It will get higher and higher as time goes by.

Naturally, such a large amount of money cannot be kept in the account for interest, which is not enough to cut leeks from inflation, so it is necessary to hire a financial assistant who is proficient in finance to manage financial management and investment.

In Qianyang City, the capital of Qianzhou Province, Cheng Hai stayed for one day, was received by a leader in charge of culture and sports, and signed a contract to become the tourism image ambassador of Qianzhou Province.

Of course, there is no remuneration, just doing my duty for my hometown, but it is also an honor.

Later, the Provincial Sports Bureau lent Cheng Hai an off-road vehicle, and Yue Yonghao and Han Zhijun took turns driving back to their hometown county.

First, drive from Qianyang City to Hongzun City. There is a highway, but it took more than two hours to drive.

But from Hongzun City to the county, there is no expressway, and between the mountains, the winding mountain road is narrow and bad, and it is also a national road. The traffic volume is very heavy and there are often traffic jams.

After getting off the expressway in Hongzun City to the county, it was only a distance of more than 80 kilometers. The three of Cheng Hai drove for a full 4 hours before returning home.

Cheng Hai's home is right next to the national highway in the outskirts of the county. The newly built three-story villa and the big courtyard are already full of people inside and out.

Because Cheng Hai is so well-known, reporters interviewed him everywhere he went. Yesterday, he was interviewed by the provincial leaders and signed an image ambassador. All the news broadcasts at the provincial level. The relatives, friends and neighbors at home knew that Cheng Hai would come back today, and they were waiting at home early in the morning to watch the big stars.

There are also officials at the village and town levels, as well as reporters from the city and county TV stations, all waiting at Cheng Hai's house. There are one or two hundred people inside and outside, and the three-story villa and the yard of one or two hundred square meters are crowded.

Although Cheng Songquan and Xi Yulin had a hard time entertaining these guests, they were still very happy.

This is definitely Guangzong Yaozu.

It has been nearly half a year since he got his passport and left home in July. On the afternoon of December 7, Cheng Hai finally returned home.

Cheng Hai's return naturally caused a commotion in the whole village. Those who were reserved and didn't come to Cheng Hai's house to wait before heard that Cheng Hai came home to see the strange things.

"Ah Hai is so tall? It turns out he wasn't so tall."

"It has become much stronger!"

"That's right, I don't even look at what Ah Hai does? Football players, don't be taller and stronger, wouldn't they be knocked into the air by others?"

"Who are those two people who came back with Cheng Hai?"

"I heard it's his assistant and driver, but I don't think the driver looks like a driver, but a bodyguard."

"It must be a bodyguard. The driver is only a part-time job! It doesn't matter what Cheng Hai's status and worth are now? It's quite normal to hire an assistant and bodyguard."

"Yeah! The annual salary is tens of millions, so it's normal to hire personal assistants and drivers."

"Cheng Songquan and Xi Yulin have made it through this time. Their family was the poorest. I didn't expect to become multi-millionaires in less than half a year. And judging by the momentum, they are not far from billionaires."

"By the way, Cheng Songquan said that he wants to build a tea factory and lead everyone to grow tea to get rich. Is it true?"

"I don't know if it's true or not, but they must have the financial resources! As long as the tea factory is built and Cheng Hai can promote it for free, it will be exciting to think about it. Don't say it sells well all over the country, I think it's possible to sell it all over the world."

"Yes! I think we have to quickly support Cheng Songquan to build a tea factory. We can also grow the land into tea, and sell tea greens to them in the future, which is much more cost-effective than simply farming the land."

"I have a relative. His family grows tea. The annual income of one mu of tea is several times higher than that of crops. It is absolutely worthwhile."

"I want Cheng Song to be able to lead everyone! If he doesn't open a tea factory, we won't be able to sell the tea we grow. Even if we sell it, we will be exploited by the tea dealers. It's not like getting rich."

"I think it's okay! Cheng Songquan said this on more than one occasion. As long as Cheng Hai has the funds in place, wouldn't it be easy to build a tea factory?"

"Well! Everyone should show respect to Cheng Songquan and Xi Yulin in the future! If we want to get rich, we have to fall on them."

"Just kidding, even if we don't get rich, we have to show some respect, and we don't care about the fame and status of his son Cheng Hai."

"Haha, that's true!"

There is a saying that sums it up well. In the first 30 years, the father respects the son, and in the next 30 years, the son respects the father. This vividly illustrates the relationship between father and son.

Although Cheng Hai is not yet 30 years old, his achievements are higher than most 30-year-old people in the world.

Therefore, regardless of whether there is a conflict of interest or not, relatives, friends and neighbors must respect his parents and dare not offend them.

That night, although not every villager ate at home, there were still six tables set up in Cheng Hai's house, entertaining more than 50 people including relatives and friends, village and town cadres, and reporters.

Fortunately, there were relatives to help, and we all hosted the reception together, otherwise Cheng Songquan and his wife would not be able to manage such a big reception.

Some close relatives and friends asked many curious questions to satisfy everyone's curiosity.

Coming back this time, Cheng Hai is definitely returning home.

That night, after the excited villagers talked about leaving, Cheng Hai left behind his uncle who was the mayor of Linzhen, a cousin who was engaged in construction projects, a cousin who ran a taxi company, a cousin from a bank on the side of his Cheng family, a cousin who was engaged in communication design, uncle, third uncle and others, and held a family meeting.

Cheng Hai finally confirmed his parents' thoughts. Cheng Songquan and Xi Yulin still didn't want to go to a big city to live in a community building and enjoy the blessings. They still wanted to stay in their hometown, familiar and kind.

Here are the memories of their lifetime of struggle, and their familiar relatives, friends, and villagers. They can be respected enough here. They don't want to move to a strange big city, and they may not be able to find anyone to talk to.

Afterwards, everyone made suggestions for Cheng Songquan, how to lead the villagers to make a fortune.

To be respected by the villagers in the local area, it is not enough to be rich and famous. You have to benefit everyone and lead everyone to become rich and well-off.

But letting Cheng Hai use the money for charity, that's definitely not acceptable. Sheng Mi's kindness against Mi's hatred is a famous saying of the elders.

In this county, tea and wine are the two most famous industries, but Cheng Hai's identity is undoubtedly not suitable for the family to run wine, nor can he lead the villagers to become rich.

Therefore, as I said before, Cheng Hai paid for it, and Cheng Songquan was in charge of building a tea factory, calling on the villagers to abandon crops and plant tea cash crops.

It's just that Cheng Hai is not short of this little money, and the profit can be set lower to give the villagers more profit, and the purchase price of tea should be fair.

In terms of scale, Cheng Hai is not short of money now, but he wanted to go directly to a large tea factory, but he was persuaded by his assistant Yue Yonghao to cancel this plan.

Even if the tea leaves are planted, it will take two or three years before they can be harvested in large quantities.

Cheng Songquan was inexperienced, so it was not appropriate to make the scale too large at once. It is better to set up a small factory first and slowly explore the experience. With experience, the villagers have picked a large number of tea leaves, and then expanded the scale step by step.

Anyway, Cheng Hai didn't want to get rich from this, but just let his father have something to do, and by the way, he could lead the villagers to become rich, so that his parents would be more respected and live a more comfortable life in the village.

But there's no need to start a big factory right away, it's beyond the capabilities of Cheng Songquan and his wife, and it will make them even more tired, but it will be a burden.

What Yue Yonghao said was reasonable and well-founded, and he quickly persuaded Cheng Hai's family members to agree with his idea. First, invest hundreds of thousands to build a small factory, set up a shelf, and start a small-scale trial operation, and then slowly explore later.

Then came the new year. On January 2011, 1, New Year’s Day, Cheng Songquan rented more than ten tables and benches in the name of celebrating the new year, invited several chefs, slaughtered a pig, a sheep, and chicken, duck, fish, and various seafood. He set up more than ten tables and had a real big banquet.

In the next few days, Cheng Hai met with local leaders and donated some money to his alma mater of middle and elementary schools. He also discussed the details of opening a tea factory with his parents, relatives, and villagers in more detail. Most of the villagers agreed that it was better to use part of the land to grow tea instead of farming.

Of course, everyone will not put all their eggs in one basket to grow tea, and not everyone will respond to Cheng Songquan's call.

There will be several stubborn cows in any village, and there is no way to do this, and it cannot be forced.

With Cheng Hai's face, the tea factory must have no problems in handling various documents. The county leaders are afraid that Cheng Hai will become famous and rich, so they will send his parents to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big cities to settle down.

Now Cheng Hai's parents still stay in the local area, and they have also become village leaders. If they want to set up a factory and lead the villagers to become rich, they must strongly support them.

Afraid that Cheng Songquan might not understand something, he specially sent a person from the county agricultural bureau to help guide the preparation of the tea factory, and build the tea factory in time for next spring when tea can be picked.

Although there is no large-scale cultivation of tea leaves in the village, there are some sporadic ones. After picking, they are usually sold in the tea green market, and they will be sold by second-hand dealers.

If Cheng Songquan's tea factory is built, at least the villagers in his own village can buy tea at the factory price nearby, so as not to be caught by second-hand dealers.

Of course, these specific matters will not be returned to Cheng Hai.

He stayed at home for a few days, visited several elders, and after each of them showed their respect, on January 2011, 1, Cheng Hai, Yue Yonghao, and Han Zhijun left their hometown and drove back to Qianyang City.

Returned the car in Qianyang City, rested for one night, and took a flight to Doha, Qatar the next day.

After more than ten hours of flight, the three of Cheng Hai arrived in Doha.

However, due to the time difference, it was not evening when the three of them arrived, but afternoon.

The return of the first captain of the national football team naturally attracted the attention of many Chinese media and fans. There were as many as hundreds of Chinese and overseas Chinese fans who picked up at Doha Airport, as well as several Chinese media reporters.

When the reporter worriedly asked Cheng Hai whether it took so long to report and whether it would affect the team's cooperation and preparation, Cheng Hai said that there was no problem, and his recovery ability was very good.

In fact, it is because Cheng Hai has the function of dream training. After joining the national football team, when he enters the dream training at night, his teammates will be replaced by the teammates of the national football team. In his dream, he can let him understand the passing and cutting habits of his teammates, so that he can integrate into the team more quickly.

Coupled with the energy recovery function of dream training, he can devote himself to training full of energy every day. Even if there are only a few days left before the start of the game, he will not be worse than those players who trained in advance.

After following the national football manager who picked him up from the airport to the hotel where the national football team was staying to report, Cheng Hai actually met the team leader, head coach, and teammates of the national football team.

Although there are a few old teammates from the Olympic team in the national football team, most of them are players who have never seen each other. It is necessary to introduce each other.

Therefore, the national football team held a welcome meeting to welcome Cheng Hai's arrival, unify their thinking, and reiterated the goal of this Asian Cup in Qatar, which is the semi-finals.

After the welcome meeting, Cheng Hai officially joined the team, and then received the task issued by the system about the Qatar Asian Cup:
Mission 7: Asian Cup Champion
Task requirements: Help the Huaguo Men's National Football Team win the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup Championship

Success reward: 200 skill points
