"What did you say? No data?"
Coach Wenger thought he heard wrongly, "Man, you have been trading with me for several years. Don't you know that I always look at the data first before giving money?"
"Coach Wenger, it's not that I don't give it to you, it's that this kid is too special! Damn it, I've been engaged in... data mining and sharing work for so many years, and this is the first time I haven't played a professional game, or even... A player from a professional youth training camp can actually be directly offered a transfer fee of 3.6 million!"
Coach Wenger was so shocked that his eyes widened, "What? He really hasn't played a single professional game? Isn't he a youth training player of a professional club? Which club quoted 3.6 million pounds? A player with no data, I won’t even pay £0.36!”
"The one who made the offer to this boy was Liverpool Football Club."
"..."
Coach Wenger opened his mouth in shock and couldn't say a word for a long time!
Coach Wenger wouldn't be too surprised if the offer was made by a small club. After all, small clubs sometimes use eye-catching ways to increase the popularity of topics, but Liverpool...
Liverpool is recognized as a giant!
They don’t need to rely on attracting attention to increase their popularity!
They themselves are popular - especially since they only finished 7th in the league last season, the popularity is higher than Arsenal finishing 4th in the league.
"Liverpool spent 3.6 million to buy a player who has never played in any professional league or youth training game?" Coach Wenger still couldn't believe it.
The other party added: "Moreover, Liverpool's offer of 3.6 million pounds was rejected by Southampton Club."
Coach Wenger: "..."
"How about it, Coach Wenger, are you interested?"
"You know marketing." Coach Wenger said extremely calmly and rationally: "But, I still say what I said. Without data to support it, I will not pay even 0.36 pounds."
We at Arsenal need to manage our finances!
The other party immediately said: "Don't hang up the phone in a hurry. My dear professor, although I can't give you any data about that kid, I have gone through all the hard work and spent a huge sum of money to finally get through my insider in Liverpool." I bought a highlight from the channel. This is the highlight of the match between that player representing the Southampton U18 team and the Liverpool U18 team. I can sell this highlight to you. Of course, it’s still the same old rule. You can give it to me if you are interested after watching it. My price."
Coach Wenger immediately hesitated.
Coach Wenger also unconsciously put his hand on the zipper of his jacket and pulled it out of habit.
Logically speaking, with a transfer offer as high as £3.6 million, Wenger felt there was no need to watch any more highlights - so what if he did? Want me to bid for more than £3.6 million? No! impossible! Absolutely impossible!
but……
Wenger was full of curiosity.
What kind of player is this? Can Liverpool go crazy for him?
I really want to see it...
No, I have to control it. What if I want to sign it after seeing it?
Just when Coach Wenger was hesitant, he heard the other party say again: "Professor, I will give you another 2 minutes to think about it. If you don't want it, I will sell this collection to Chelsea. I have the exact information." News, they are also very interested in this kid."
The North London derby rivals also want it? !
Coach Wenger immediately said: "Man, you really know marketing! Don't give it to Chelsea! Send it to me!"
The other party smiled dryly, "Okay, I'll send it to your email right now - oh, by the way, this guy is a Chinese, he's only 17 years old, his name is... Gu Ran."
Coach Wenger was so shocked that he almost jumped up, "What? A Chinese player?"
The reputation of Chinese players in the Premier League has always been good, but they are too rare.
For example, Manchester City's Chinese Sun Jihai, Crystal Palace's Asian Footballer Fan Zhiyi, Everton's Li Tie who likes to blow bangs but cannot blow bangs after joining, Charlton's 2-time Chinese Footballer Zheng Zhi, and Manchester United's King Dong Fangzhuo.
The players in China who can play at the Premier League level are all genuine and there are absolutely no parallel imports.
Moreover, Chinese players have a huge Chinese fan market behind them, so most British clubs are eager to have Chinese players - as long as they have real materials.
But neither Sun Jihai, the most accomplished one, nor Dong Fangzhuo, the most dazzling one, are like Gu Ran, who got an offer before even playing in a professional league!
Not to mention Chinese players, looking at the entire football world, there are very few players who have been offered transfers without professional youth training experience or professional games.
The other party chuckled and said: "Don't be surprised, Coach Wenger, otherwise when you watch his highlights, your jaw will drop to the ground."
"Oh, how is that possible?"
Coach Wenger hung up the phone and opened his e-mail.
As expected, Gu Ran's highlights have been sent.
——Okay, let me see why this legendary Chinese is worth 3.6 million pounds!
Coach Wenger clicked on the play button of the highlights.
Coach Wenger's eyes widened...
30 seconds later.
The collection is still buffering.
Arsenal’s internet speed is too slow…
Coach Wenger shook his head, put the highlights aside, and continued to fill out the time deposit form.
After filling it out, coach Wenger called Arsenal's financial director Tom Fox, handed him the signed time deposit slip, and asked him to handle the deposit matters.
After the financial director left, coach Wenger leaned back in his chair comfortably and clicked on Gu Ran's highlight video.
Still buffering...
Coach Wenger sighed, stood up and made himself a cup of coffee.
The short 10-minute collection took a full two hours to buffer, and the buffering was finally completed.
Coach Wenger's curiosity was almost worn out, and he clicked the video play button half-heartedly.
The first half of the video features two beautiful single shots from Sterling.
Coach Wenger naturally knew Sterling, who was worth 2 million pounds, and coach Wenger began to wonder if the other party had given him the wrong film.
When coach Wenger was about to call the other party to return the goods, Gu Ran, who was wearing the No. 9 jersey in the video, was replaced.
Immediately afterwards, there was a passionate scene where Gu Ran defended against Sterling alone.
Coach Wenger was immediately stunned!
This forward can actually guard against Liverpool U18 forward Sterling? !
However, as a forward, having good defensive statistics...is of no use, right?
Before Coach Wenger could think about it, Gu Ran in the video performed a set of violent sprints. He passed several people in a row on the wing, and then hit a Lampard-style cloud-piercing arrow + Battis outside the penalty area. Tuta-style powerful heavy artillery + Alan Shearer-style precision guidance!
"Oh buy it!" Coach Wenger immediately exclaimed!
This Chinese boy really wants speed, strength, strength, physical confrontation, and shooting skills! He's also really good at defending! ! !
How did Southampton Club pick up such a treasure! ?
Yes, you don’t need any data verification to know that this kid’s future will be bright!
It would be great to get Arsenal for free.
Just as Coach Wenger finished thinking this, Gu Ran in the video completed another key clearance, then dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and when being double-teamed by two strong central defenders from the opposite side, he made a fake shot and deceived the ball. Pass the goalkeeper and score the ball easily!
Coach Wenger was all excited!
With this kind of performance, it is definitely impossible to get it for free, you have to spend some money!
——1 million pounds is about the same, and 3.6 million pounds is still too high.
Just as Coach Wenger thought this, he saw Gu Ran in the video showing overtaking on the outer lane, riding a bicycle with violent aesthetics, passing back from the bottom, smelling in front of the goal, and making a sideways barb at zero angle for a follow-up shot!
Coach Wenger was dumbfounded!
A left back wearing No. 9 is more useful than a forward!
Buying this guy is equivalent to buying a super full-back who can attack and defend at the same time, and also comes with a goal-machine forward with a violent aesthetic!
3.6 million is not the transfer value of one person, it is the value of two players!
And it only occupies one player's quota on the field!
From this point of view alone, Liverpool’s asking price of 3.6 million pounds is not too crazy!
Coupled with Gu Ran's potential in commercial value as a Chinese player!
It’s not expensive to ask for 3.6 million pounds!
Liverpool are not crazy at all, but very smart!
Coach Wenger almost held his chin with his hands, watching this 10-minute highlight in great shock.
After watching it, Coach Wenger’s first feeling was:
The transfer offer of 3.6 million pounds is simply an insult to this talented Chinese player!
At least...3.61 million pounds!
Coach Wenger is addicted to Gu Ran's short film and can't help himself!
He has already begun to imagine that Arsenal has the defensive and offensive power after Gu Ran!
Coach Wenger's hands kept going up and down on the zipper.
How to do how to do?
Do you want to make an offer? The final price must be over £4 million, right?
etc……
Coach Wenger suddenly woke up from his daydream and eagerly grabbed the phone and called the financial director, "Tom! Tom! Has all the money been deposited?"
Arsenal's financial director Tom Fox grinned on the other end of the phone and said: "Don't worry, Arsene! Can I still handle the things you told me? The money has just been deposited, not a penny has been missed! It's 6 Monthly payment! The certificate of deposit has just been released! Just wait for the interest to be collected! Compliment me!"
Farke...why are you so fast this time?
It’s all Arsenal’s damn internet speed!
Coach Wenger's mouth twitched slightly, "...Tom, are you still in the bank? Go and ask me what the lowest loan interest rate is."
Tom Fox: "...Man, I have been in this business for more than 40 years, but you really can't handle me anymore."
…
at the same time.
In the manager's office of Manchester City Club.
Head coach Roberto Mancini is communicating with newly arrived assistant coach David Platt——
"Roberto, thank you for inviting me to come to Manchester City to be your assistant coach. Since the last time I coached the amateur school team and was eliminated in the semi-finals, I almost don't want to be a coach anymore."
"Haha, David, it's just an amateur game. Don't worry about it. I'm sure the team you coach is too bad."
Platt shook his head, "No, my team is very strong. Originally, the championship was not a big problem, but we met a guy who was so strong that even today, when I think of that black-haired Chinese guy, I I’m all covered in cold sweat!”
"Chinese boy?" Mancini's eyes suddenly lit up, "You can't be talking about... Gu Ran, right?"
Pratt was shocked, "What? Do you know him too? Could it be that... you were also defeated by Gu Ran?"
Mancini laughed, "How is that possible! As far as I know, Gu Ran has just received his labor certificate. The Southampton club he belongs to is also a League One club. We at Manchester City can't touch them - unless They can advance all the way through the League Cup and FA Cup and finally meet us."
Pratt took a breath, "Has he already obtained a labor certificate? Great! Hahaha! Head coaches in the League One, tremble! By the way, Roberto, why are you paying attention to Gu?" So?"
Mancini smiled, "This guy has been paid attention to by Manchester City's top management more than half a month ago. We have a verbal agreement with Southampton Club. This agreement was made by FA Chairman Bernstein in person with Southampton." Southampton will transfer him to us within half a year at most."
Pratt couldn't believe it: "Is this true?"
Mancini smiled and said: "Of course it is true. Although I have never been in contact with this player Gu, the top management of Manchester City are looking forward to him very much. After all, Manchester City once had Sun Jihai, the Sun of China. From the top management of Manchester City to the fans, they have great expectations for China. The players all have a natural affinity.”
Pratt was all excited, "Hahaha! Roberto! This is great! You don't know how useful Gu Ran is! I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to cooperate with Gu Ran! But... This kid is so strong, will other clubs also want to steal him?"
Mancini said: "Your news is too late, let alone a year later. Now Liverpool has offered him 3.6 million pounds. Our rivals in the same city, Manchester United, said they want to offer 4 million pounds, and there must be more." Clubs with money or clubs without money are hiding in dark corners thinking about how to take action."
Platt exclaimed in amazement: "Oh God! Liverpool... made the move too quickly! £3.6 million is too high!"
Mancini sneered, "What's the use? Liverpool's little money is not enough. Do you know what Manchester City's top brass did? Just now, Manchester City officially reported Gu Ran's transfer to Southampton. The quoted price is: 4.6 million pounds! A small increase in the fixed price!"
"Oh God! Is this a small bite?" Pratt shouted excitedly: "It's crazy! It's so crazy!"
Mancini smiled and said: "Don't make such a fuss David, our big boss is Mansour, His Royal Highness the tycoon prince of the Middle East! The offer of 4.6 million pounds is just a gesture, to tell other clubs not to think about it, Gu Ran It belongs to us at Manchester City."
Platt said excitedly: "It's so cool! I can't wait to see Gu Ran put on the Blue Moon jersey!"
Mancini shrugged and said with an indifferent expression: "Actually, I don't care whether I buy Gu Ran or not. I have Mario Balotelli."
Platt shook his head and sighed quietly: "Roberto, you have never been fucked by Gu Ran..."
…
The top brass of Southampton Club had an emergency meeting in Rice's office.
"...It's against the law! It's against the law! It's all against the law!" For the first time in so many years of working in the industry, Laisi knocked on the table, jumped on his feet and roared.
"I have just worked so hard to get Gu's labor certificate, and those big bullshit clubs are like sharks that have smelled something fishy and are surrounding me and want to take a bite!"
"Shet! Falk!"
"Liverpool alone is crazy enough! Manchester United is also making noises because it's not a big deal!"
"And that Manchester City! With the support of Middle Eastern tycoons, don't you think of spending money as spending money, but as pouring oil on the ground?"
"We agreed that they wouldn't show any interest in me after half a year, but they didn't abide by the agreement at all, so they're just making a crazy offer now!"
"This offer is already very close to Gu's minimum termination fee! How can I sleep well at night?"
"Manchester City's method of play has violated Financial Fair Play FFP rules!"
Old Les became more and more angry as he talked, banging his fists on the table, and the photo of him and Bell was also shaken continuously.
"The most hateful thing is not Manchester City, but Arsenal!"
"Arsenal actually offered to loan Gu Ran! Wenger actually wanted to prostitute my Gu for nothing!? How dare he? How dare he!!!"
Other senior executives quickly persuaded in a low voice:
"...Old Les, don't get excited."
"That's right, Gu is still here, we just rejected all their offers."
"But to be on the safe side, we should sign a new contract with him before we can react and have a professional agent, give him a better treatment, and increase his minimum termination fee to 10 million pounds. .”
"I agree!"
"Give him more playing time and he will definitely agree."
Old Les panted, and it took him a long time to regain his senses.
Old Les said in a deep voice: "——Tell those big clubs that are arrogant and cruel, if they dare to take Gu Ran's idea again, just wait for revenge! I, Les Reed, am not a soft persimmon! In addition, Monday's event will be held for Gu The welcome ceremony must be grand! All senior executives, media, fan representatives, first-team players and reserve team players must all be present!"
"We must make Gu Ran feel that this is his home!"
"good!"
…
"Ah! Ah! Ah!!!!"
After Gu Ran came out of the gym, he sneezed more than a dozen times in the Cayenne.
Who? Who is thinking about me?
Suzuki Honami? Evelyn?
Or Sophie, Maria, Anne?
Oh, what a sin.
It can’t be that a man is thinking about you, right?
Otherwise, my parents miss me?
Right.
It’s been so long since I was reborn, and I still haven’t had much communication with my family.
Now that the labor certificate has been obtained, my career will officially start. Although I am not even remotely famous in China, as long as I get kicked out, people in the country will know about me sooner or later.
Therefore, I have to take this time to explain to my family that I will not go to college but play professional football.
I also have a car and a house in Southampton. My parents will be crazy happy, right?
They endured hardships in their last life, but now they can enjoy themselves in this life!
Gu Ran couldn't help but have a happy smile on his face.
Let’s go back to the sand dunes first. After we get back, we can have a good chat with my family!
Gu Ran stepped on the accelerator, and the Cayenne sped happily.
On the way home, Gu Ran stopped the car in front of the newsstand.
I was interviewed by Evelin yesterday, and I have to see what big news Evelin made today.
Gu Ran wore sunglasses and lowered his baseball cap, and said in a rough voice: "Boss, please give me a copy of the Progressive Saints."
"Sorry, the Advance Saints are out of stock."
"Are they sold out? Is it so popular?"
"Yes, don't talk about my newsstand. The whole Southampton's "Advancing Saints" has been sold out."
Damn it...
what's the situation?
A small newspaper from a local club sold out on the same day?
Gu Ran asked: "Is there too little printed?"
The owner of the newsstand curled his lips and said, "The daily printing volume of the Progressive Saints is 50,000 copies, and an additional 30,000 copies were printed today - but as soon as it was released, they were all gone! If you want to read it, I actually kept a copy for myself, you can stand here and look at it, but you can’t take it away.”
Gu Ran quickly said: "Thank you so much!"
The boss said: "You're welcome, it's only 1 pound."
Gu Ran:......
Gu Ran silently took out 10 pounds.
This is the smallest amount of money he has.
...Well, being too rich is also a trouble.
The boss said: "I can't find it - why don't you scan all the newspapers here? Get a copy of "The Sun", the news in the Sun is also very exciting today - the whole English football world is shocked, Chelsea and The two female owners of Liverpool are jealous of a man. There is also this Times Financial Newspaper, which has a column about following coach Arsene Wenger's financial management."
...What the hell! ?
Just follow Wenger to manage your finances, but the tidbits from "The Sun" sound really exciting!
The female boss of Chelsea should refer to Sister NO, right?
The boss lady of Liverpool must be the magnificent Linda!
Damn it! How awesome is that man to make two women with such high status and aura jealous?
I’m so envious! This is called a winner in life!
You must take a bite of this melon!
Gu Ran was very playful: "Boss, will this melon stay cooked?"
"What?" The newsstand owner looked confused.
"Oh, it's nothing." Gu Ran smiled, "I don't want the "Finance News", but a copy of "The Sun"."
...Foreigners certainly don’t understand our Chinese humor.
Gu Ran added: "Just exchange the remaining money for water, just ordinary mineral water."
In short, we just can’t take advantage of this profiteer boss in vain!
The boss was startled and said, "Sir, 9 pounds can buy you a lot of water. Why do you need so much water?"
Gu Ran said with a arrogant look: "Do you care? I just like water. What's wrong?"
The boss frowned and muttered quietly to get some water.
Gu Ran chuckled and opened the copy of "Progressive Saints" that could not be taken away.
The headline on the home page is "Shocking Reversal!" Gu Ran: I am your God! 》
Gu Ran: *%&#@*!
Evelyn, Evelyn! Is it really okay for your dick to be so big?
Let’s look at the second version: “Alan Shearer: I’m not as good as Gu Ran in that respect!” 》
Gu Ran: &%&￥%&￥%! ! !
No wonder this newspaper is out of stock today!
If Mrs. Hiller sees this newspaper, why don't she come and tear it up?
Then look at the third and fourth pages: "Les: The labor certificate is done!" Gu will appear in the first team in the new season! 》,《Latest quotation! Liverpool wants to buy Southampton's star of hope for 3.6 million! ", "Reliable news: Manchester United will bid 4 million pounds for Gu Ran! ", "Alert: Chelsea is ready to make a move! ", "Funny: Arsenal wants to loan Gu Ran for free? ", "Manchester City: Give in, I'll pay 4.6 million pounds! ", "Gu Ran Support Club: We will continue to expand the size of the guild and are now recruiting young girls with dance experience, with priority given to pole dancers"...
Damn it...
Gu Ran's whole body was numb!
The entire Advance Saints newspaper is almost full of news related to him!
It’s impossible to be low-key even if you want to be low-key!
Gu Ran tried to calm down his mood.
No, no, I can’t calm down!
Let's change our thinking and eat kougua first.
Gu Ran put down the Advance Saint and opened the sports section of The Sun.
A bright headline immediately came into view: "That night, Linda and Sister NO entered his room together."
Damn it! I like! The money was not wasted!
Gu Ran started reading with great interest...
