The question was really confusing.
? ? ?
Li Shiguang's question really confused Sun Jihai.
In fact, his purpose today was just to invite Li Shiguang to dinner, but he was already 26 years old and was no longer a young man who had just started out. He could understand what Li Shiguang meant by asking.
It was impossible for Sun Jihai to have never thought about this question, but he was just a player, and Li Shiguang was the boss of Leeds United after all! The identities of the two were very different, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to mention such things!
You know, Leeds United is now ranked fourth in the league. If they can continue this state until the end of the season, the probability of winning a Champions League spot is very high. If I can join Leeds United, I will become the first Chinese player to set foot in the Champions League. According to the football atmosphere in China, I will be praised to the sky by then, right? Maybe I can get more endorsements in China!
But what Li Shiguang said just now gave Sun Jihai an opportunity. He knew that if he missed this opportunity, he might regret it. So according to the Chinese custom, Sun Jihai raised the cup in his hand to Li Shiguang. After taking a sip of tea instead of wine, he said: "I didn't expect that my little thought could not be hidden from Brother Li. In addition to inviting you to dinner today, I really wanted to recommend myself, but I was afraid that I was not strong enough and you looked down on me, so I never dared to speak." After Sun Jihai finished speaking, Li Shiguang's eyes flashed a hint of "I understand all", and he took two puffs of cigar before asking: "Xiao Sun, how much did Manchester City spend to bring you to England?" Sun Jihai was startled and replied: "About 2.3 million euros." "What about your weekly salary?" "15,000 euros." Li Shiguang pondered for a moment, that was not expensive, Manchester City should be able to accept an offer of less than 4 million euros! So he spoke again, but this time he changed the way he addressed Sun Jihai.
"Ahai, although I am of Chinese descent, I have never forgotten that I have oriental blood in my body. You and I are from the same hometown. If you want to make progress, I am willing to help you..." Sun Jihai's face had already turned red when Li Shiguang was halfway through his words.
Seeing him like this, Li Shiguang felt happy but also a little sad. As a football fan in his previous life, he understood how much effort a player needed to make it out of the place known as the football desert. His answer now was not just to give Sun Jihai a little hope. Once Sun Jihai could step onto the top European court, it was conceivable how much encouragement this would bring to him and the fans on that land! Of course, he could definitely make a lot of small money.
But as the head coach of Leeds United, he had to guarantee Leeds United's performance. After all, the better the performance, the more money he could make.
So before Sun Jihai could thank him, Li Shiguang said "but".
"But, Ah Hai, I have to make it clear to you first. You have to go back and think about it yourself. After all, there is still some time before the summer transfer window."
"Brother Li, you talk, I listen." Sun Jihai nodded.
"First, I must ensure healthy competition in the team, so I won't give you any special treatment. If you want to come to Leeds United, your direct competitor is Maicon. You have played against him, and you should be very clear about his strength. In Leeds United, everything is based on strength. If you are not strong enough, you can only become a substitute or a rotation player! Second, I want to make it clear to you in advance that Leeds United does not welcome troublemakers! In my team, obeying my orders and executing my tactical plans during games and training is the most basic requirement."
"Of course, I won't just make requests to you. If you join Leeds United next season, I will raise your weekly salary to 30,000 euros! You don't have to rush to reply to me, go back and consider the pros and cons and call me, ok?"
What the hell is there to consider! Sun Jihai had been ready to take a pay cut to join Leeds United, but he didn't expect that Li Shiguang, in addition to making two very normal requests, would actually raise his salary. This made Sun Jihai want to run back to Manchester City and say he quit!
While the two were chatting heatedly, Chen Guanhai was smoking a cigar and listening beside them, without saying a word.
Seeing that Sun Jihai finally got what he wanted, he was also sincerely happy for Sun Jihai. Seeing
It is estimated that we can see Sun Jihai playing in the Champions League next season, which makes him, who is determined to make a career in football but has not found a definite direction, also ignite a fire in his heart.
Suddenly, Li Shiguang turned his head and looked at Chen Guanhai, who was frowning as if thinking about something, and said: "Brother Guanhai, I see that you came to Europe to study at a young age. Your family conditions should be pretty good, right?"
Chen Guanhai was stunned. For a moment, he didn't expect that the topic would turn to my family conditions? He raised his glasses habitually and said: "Hahaha, Brother Li, I don't belittle myself. My family conditions are indeed okay. You may not know that I actually knew Brother Sun when I was a child. The team that Brother Sun played in China before was invested by my father."
"Oh?" Chen Guanhai's words made Li Shiguang interested. He guessed that your family background was good, but he didn't expect it to be so good.
"So after graduating from college, do you plan to stay in Europe or return to China to develop?" Li Shiguang continued to ask.
Chen Guanhai scratched the back of his head, with a trace of entanglement on his face: "Actually, my family's main business is real estate. My father has always asked me to go back to help him after graduation. But I don't really want to go back. I want to be like you and make some achievements in football for my father to see!"
Hearing Chen Guanhai's words, the idea that had been buried in Li Shiguang's mind for a long time immediately jumped out.
Damn! Brother! You said it earlier! Don't I have a ready-made project? And it is extremely compatible with your family's industry!
Li Shiguang has been coveting the home stadiums of other Premier League teams for a long time!
He had long wanted to expand the Elland Road Stadium, but expanding a stadium would easily cost tens of millions of euros. After paying off the loan, some banks came to sell loan products to Li Shiguang, but Li Shiguang told them to get out after taking a look at the high interest rate, so he had been suffering from not having enough money in his pocket, and this idea was buried in his heart for a long time.
"This Sun Jihai is really a lucky guy. He has given me such a great gift before he even arrives!" Looking at Chen Guanhai now, Li Shiguang felt like he was looking at a bunch of walking euros.
So he moved his stool towards Chen Guanhai, showing the friendliest smile of his life, and asked in a gentle tone: "Brother Guanhai, do you want to invest in Leeds United?"
