Chapter 2177 Let high school students lead junior high school students
By the sixth day of the lunar new year, the weekly annual leave is over.

In the morning, I went to the capital, and had lunch with the family members of the hostesses; in the afternoon, I went to the capital city again, and I needed some hospitality, especially at Shi Jinglin's house.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, Zhou Buqi, following Ziweixing’s practice in the past few years, stood at the company’s gate early in the morning with many senior executives from the Shanghai District to welcome the employees back to the company, and gave each of them a 1000 yuan big red envelope.

Then, Zhou Buqi sat in Shanghai, waiting for Rangnick to bring a Manchester United player to join the Shanghai Taizun football team that Shi's father-in-law had placed high hopes on.

The first foreign aid finalized is Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung.

This season, Manchester United changed their head coach and introduced many midfielders, making the older Park Ji-sung gradually lose his position.

Especially after October, there is no chance of a substitute. Klopp would rather use the 10-year-old Pogba than use him.

In addition, his contract with Manchester United will expire in June this year, which means that his career at Manchester United is basically over.

Coincidentally, if the father-in-law of the Shi family wanted to invest heavily in the football team, he would be close to the water.

Park Ji-sung's current salary is 220 million euros after tax, which is the highest among Asian players currently playing in Europe.But such a salary is considered the penultimate tier in the Manchester United team.

Coming to China to play football is different. After signing a three-year contract, the annual salary after tax is 440 million euros, directly doubled!

The temptation of high salary, coupled with the close distance between China and South Korea, certain family factors, and the internal promotion of Manchester United, he made a decision to play in China.

Transactions with zero transfer fees.

This news has not yet been announced in China. Park Ji-sung needs to come to China for a physical examination and pass the review of relevant departments, especially the political review... If this player has ever said some bad words, or there are relatives at home who acted as more sensitive position, this transfer could not be finalized.

This is the biggest difference between the domestic transfer market and European football transfers. Because there are more requirements, the Football Association must send an agent to participate in it to ensure the "safety" of this transfer.

Last year, Evergrande signed Konca, the best player in Brazil's first division, which attracted a carnival in domestic football.

Kokonca is just a star in South American football. He has never been selected for the Brazilian national team, and no European team can take a fancy to him.His short stature and traditional midfielder style can no longer keep up with the development of modern football.

However, it is still possible to come to the country to kill the Quartet.

As long as Park Ji-sung is signed by the Modu Taekwondo team, there is no doubt that this will be the biggest player in the country.

Zhou Buqi simply shook hands with Park Ji-sung, welcomed him to join, and promised him that he would definitely be selected into the legendary Hall of Fame of Manchester United.When he retires, he will hold a retirement ceremony at Old Trafford as a Manchester United star.

This sentence hits the pain point directly.

It made Park Ji-sung almost cry.

What an honor is this?

In fact, with Park Ji-sung's level and his contribution to Manchester United, it is almost meaningless to be selected into Manchester United's Legendary Hall of Fame.But he has an identity bonus, he is Asian.

Giving Park Ji-sung such an honor will benefit Manchester United's market expansion and business development in Asia.

Asia is the core market of Manchester United, so in Manchester United's signing plan, there is always a quota for Asian players.Park Ji-sung has left, and Zhou Buqi's next plan is to buy another Korean—Sun Xingmin.

Zhou Buqi arranged a dinner, not for Pu Zhixing, but for Rangnick.

Zhu Jun, the owner of another team in Shanghai, was also present.

Rangnick has already submitted a list of transfer signings, just like Zhou Buqi said before, look for the Portuguese language department, and keep an eye on Brazilian football.

He has selected eight Brazilian players, all of whom are midfielders. This season, he will select two of them to join the Modu Taizun team.

Zhou Buqi looked at the list and attached photos.

Needless to say, he really knew two players.

One is defensive midfielder Paulinho, and the other is forward Firmino.

There is no doubt that these two are very good players, especially Firmino, who later became a well-known penalty area killer and jade face...

However, as a center forward, Firmino is more Europeanized and modernized, and has strong team attributes. He is not the kind of player who can dribble and solve battles alone.

The level of domestic football is too low. When choosing strong foreign players, you must choose players who can do everything by themselves. Don’t expect too much to cooperate with domestic players and play team football. It is best to rely on personal ability to do it alone.

Zhou Buqi made a clear request to let Rangnick introduce Paulinho and sign a 6-year long-term contract to lock this player in the Taizun team as much as possible.

The father-in-law of the Shi family smiled without speaking, and did not participate in the whole process.

He is only responsible for taking money.

On the other side, Zhu Jun felt that he knew football very well, so he talked to Zhou Buqi many times, and said with a smile: "No wonder you want to buy out my 5% stake in Manchester United!"

Zhou Buqi asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhu Jun said: "In this way, you can transfer Park Ji-sung to the Taekwondo team. My Shenhua has no chance at all."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "Park Ji-sung's transfer is more symbolic than real. He has been affected by injuries this season, and he can't even play for Manchester United."

Zhu Jun was very surprised, "Why didn't you introduce some big names?"

Zhou Buqi joked, "It's expensive!"

"Are you still short of money?"

Zhu Jun opened his eyes wide.

Zhou Buqi said disapprovingly: "Big-name players also have big tempers. Look at Manchester United's Rooney and Robben. Who can bear their tempers? If it weren't for Park Ji-sung's good character and high quality, I would not agree to make him Introduce to China."

Zhu Jun didn't think so, and snorted: "One Evergrande and one Taizun have all started to act. It's okay, I'm going to do it here too. I'm sure it will be more sensational than you!"

"Ok?"

"Drogba's contract with Chelsea expires this summer. Now, he can pre-sign a new contract. I have sent someone to talk."

Zhou Buqi opened his eyes wide, "How much will it cost?"

Zhu Jun said: "Give me the top grade."

Zhou Buqi took a deep breath, "1200 million euros after tax?"

"Almost, if it's missing." Zhu Jun nodded, "If it's missing, I won't talk about it at all."

In the current world football, the highest salary is Ronaldo of Real Madrid, with an annual salary of 1200 million euros after tax; then Messi of Barcelona, ​​with an annual salary of 1100 million euros after tax; and then there is Ibrahimovic of AC Milan, with an annual salary of 1000 million after tax ( Milan paid 200 million, Barcelona paid 800 million); followed by Real Madrid's Kaka, 900 million euros after tax; then Manchester United's Rooney, and Chelsea's Terry, Lampard, Barcelona's Harvey, Real Madrid's Benz Horses, etc., all have an annual salary of 800 million euros after tax.

If Drogba's salary is top-notch, that means he has reached Melo's standard.

Zhou Buqi felt that this way of thinking was completely wrong, and said in a deep voice: "My suggestion, don't do it like this. Don't you know the level of domestic football? That kind of world-class star is not suitable at all!"

Zhu Jun laughed and said, "Drogba is here, isn't he chopping melons and vegetables?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Do you understand?"

Zhu Jun said angrily, "I don't know better than you?"

Zhou Buqi said: "You play football better than me. I admit that I can't lift your shoes enough. But you are not as good as me in terms of football knowledge, really. Drogba is a world-class star. The game is full of gods to block and kill gods, but it may not be easy to come to the Super League!"

"Don't make trouble."

Zhu Jun didn't believe him at all.

Zhou Buqi said: "Really, why don't you believe it? Football, the more it reaches the world class, the more sophisticated it is. European football is now highly systematic and team-oriented. Just like If you ask a physicist to solve physics problems for middle school students, he may not be able to solve them better than middle school students.”

Zhu Jun asked, "What's the point?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Separate them into categories. The more you reach the peak, the more you need to be outstanding in a certain special field. If you ask an astrophysicist to solve circuit physics problems in junior high school, this is the wrong direction. It's not a concept at all."

Zhu Jun was silent.

Zhou Buqi said: "How high is the level of football in Europe, especially Chelsea and Manchester United, it's like a team of physicists, each of them is responsible for a share, you are responsible for calculating astronomical problems, and I am responsible for solving electrical circuits. You are in charge of calculation and measurement questions, and I am in charge of decompression. Everyone has a clear division of labor, and everyone has reached the level of a master in their respective fields. What is the level of domestic football? A group of middle school students have not reached the level of classification at all. level."

Zhu Jun was a little moved by what he said, "Then what do you want to do?"

Zhou Buqi said: "You can't find a master, but high school students. High school students have not reached the point of leading the world in a single field, but they can surpass junior high school students in the comprehensive level. Let a physicist do physics problems with junior high school students , it may be difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior; if a high school student and a junior high school student are asked to do physics problems, then the high school student must be stronger."

Zhu Jun smiled, "Your level of fooling is really high."

Zhou Buqi said: "Who fooled you? That's what the Taizun team did. Didn't you see it?"

Zhu Jun frowned, "How good is Drogbado?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Drogba is a monster, a big center forward, and the fulcrum he is best at is turning his back and heading the ball to the top. He is very fierce in European football. When he comes to the Super League, what do you ask him to do? Going to the top, you have to have someone who can give him a good pass, right? Who will pass it? To do the fulcrum back, you have to have someone to respond, who can cooperate with him? At Drogba’s level, you have specialization in skills. He's all set, he's a typical representative of team football. It's better to choose a few 'high school students' from Brazil, all skills are not up to the level of masters, but they are enough to be invincible in domestic 'junior high school students' football .”

Zhu Jun was silent for a long time, and waved his hands, "Forget it, let's talk about games, are you eyeing EA?"
