The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 221

221 A Superstar with a Pay Cut?

In a coffee shop at a five-star hotel in Ghent, two men sat opposite each other in a relatively cheap private seat.

The man in the white shirt had yellow skin. A cup of steaming coffee was placed in front of him. His right hand held a spoon and easily stirred the coffee in the cup. His enthusiasm instantly rose and covered his face like a fog.

Sitting opposite the man was a black man with a little reggae braid. His face was a little frightened, and the coffee in front of him did not move at all.

“Boss, I don’t think I can stay at Leeds United anymore!” The black man said with a dodging gaze.

The shirt man was shocked and asked, “Pascal, are you sure you’re not joking?”

Yes, this black Ray Ghost-headed man is really Leeds United’s main left-back Pascal Chimbonda. The man in the white shirt was the head coach of the Leeds United Club, Zhong Cheng.

Chimbonda’s sudden proposal to leave was beyond Zhong Cheng’s expectations and caught him off guard!

Chimbonda said apologetically, “Boss, I’m sorry, I’m really leaving!”

Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned, and then said, “Why? Could it be because of our club’s punishment for you, or because you have doubts about Oscar training?”

Ortega’s training was like a devil, and Zimbonda would be training under Ortega for two more hours a day. This was simply torture.

Chimbonda immediately shook his head and said, “No, no, no! That’s not the reason, I’m not that kind of person!”

Zhong Cheng thought so. The reason he said this was because he hoped that Qimbonda could tell him the real reason. Zhong Cheng paused for a moment and then said, “Is it because of your manager?”

Chimbonda and Boumsong are the same agent. Now that Zhong Cheng and Boumsong and his agent, Willie Makai, are on par, Willie Makai may actually persuade Chimbonda to leave Leeds United to threaten Zhong Cheng.

Chimbonda shook his head and nodded.

Zhong Cheng was puzzled.

“My agent wanted me to put pressure on the club to compromise and lower the price for Jean (Boumsong),” said Chimbonda. “But I didn’t agree! Leeds United and you are grateful to me and I am here because of you and I am very grateful to you!”

Zhong Cheng thought to himself, as expected, it was caused by this damned Willie Makai!

Chimbonda said: “Leaving can not only make it easier for me, but also can go where I want to go!”

Zhong Cheng could understand how difficult it was for Chimbonda to get between himself and his agent, but he really didn’t want Chimbonda to leave.

Zhong Cheng asked, “Are you really determined to leave?”

Qimbonda took a deep breath and firmly nodded, “Yes!”

Zhong Cheng frowned, then stared into Qimbonda’s eyes and said, “Is there a club contacting you?”

Chimbonda did not conceal anything and nodded.

So it was like this. Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly and said, “Can you tell me which club it is?”

Chimbonda hesitated, but when he saw Zhong Cheng’s expression, he gritted his teeth and said, “It’s Arsenal! Professor Wenger has found me and he said he is very optimistic about me and wants me to join Arsenal. You know, Wenger and Arsenal’s reputation … I can’t refuse!”

Hearing this, Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly again. Arsenal, Wenger!

Damn Arsenal, damn Wenger! To think that he would secretly dig a corner of his brother’s wall, a fire rose in Zhong Cheng’s heart.

In the end, Leeds United are not attractive enough. Leeds United are not a rich family.

Wait, Wenger Arsenal, I will remember this grudge first. One day, I will hollow out your Arsenal team!

Zhong Cheng stared fixedly at Qimbonda. Qimbonda’s gaze wandered, not daring to look at Zhong Cheng’s gaze.

Zhong Cheng sighed and said, “Since you’ve made up your mind to leave, I won’t stop you! But you’d better expect Arsenal to quote a price that matches your worth. Otherwise, there’s nothing I can do!”

Seeing Zhong Cheng agree, Qimbonda heaved a sigh of relief and immediately said, “Don’t worry, boss! The Arsenal offer is not low, it’s too low, I won’t go myself!”

Zhong Cheng nodded and said, “I hope so!”

–Division Line–

Zhong Cheng’s heart was on fire. Damned Willie Makai, if it weren’t for you damn fellow, would Zimbonda have left?

Also, damn Arsene Wenger, damn Arsenal, digging into my corner, damn it!

Arsenal, Ars è ne Wenger, if you don’t bleed this time, don’t think about taking Zimbonda away, don’t think about it!

Shortly after Zhong talked to Chimbonda, the club received an offer from Arsenal to take Chimbonda away for £ 2. 5m.

Seeing this offer, Zhong Cheng almost fainted.

Damn, Chimbonda’s only worth 2.5 million pounds, Arsène Wenge. You’re blind, aren’t you?

Zhong Cheng was truly enraged by Arsène Wenge.

Zhong Cheng asked his assistant to answer the Arsenal Club’s call. He lost 12 million pounds. No need to talk!

Of course, Zhong Cheng’s offer was a bit ridiculous. Qimbonda’s current worth was really less than £ 12 million. Zhong Cheng was trying to disgust Arsène Wenge. Who told this damned guy to disgust himself with £ 2. 5 million?

Arsène Wenge really thought that he would be able to take his players away at such a cabbage price after he had taken care of them. What a joke!

Zhong Cheng had made up his mind that if Arsène Wenge didn’t bleed this time, he wouldn’t be able to take Qimbangda away, he wouldn’t be able to!

Zhong Cheng had definitely eaten Arsène Wenge!

Ashley Cole of Arsenal is in the midst of a transfer deal, and Ashley Cole is going to make a lot of money at Chelsea. He doesn’t want to stay at Arsenal for a moment.

So now Arsène Wenge is really looking for a replacement for Ashley Cole.

It was clear that Arsène Wenge had taken a fancy to Chimbonda in the Leeds RUF. First, Chimbonda was French, and Arsène Wenge looked friendly. Secondly, Chimbonda’s performance at Leeds United was excellent, and he was a major contributor to Leeds United’s promotion. Thirdly, Chimbonda should also be very cheap!

Now Wenger wants to take Zimbonda away.

However, Wenger was wrong. Zimbonda is not cheap. Is Zhong Cheng not going to give him a return?

12,000,000. Seeing this price, Arsène Wenge was going crazy. Holy shit, my Ashley Cole doesn’t even dare to ask for 12 million pounds. If you, Chimbonda, dare to ask for 12 million pounds, you’re fucking crazy!

Arsène Wenge was very angry and directly called Zhong Cheng to say.

Zhong Cheng replied directly, “Do you like to buy it or not?”

Arsène Wenge was truly enraged, his face ashen. Damn it, Madman Loria, you’re courting death, courting death!

–Division Line–

Zhong Cheng simply ignored this matter. He had a lot of things to do right now.

Now, he went to meet with the chairman and general manager of Ghent Club, hoping that the matter of the Satellite Club would be settled as soon as possible, so that Hulk and the others could have a place to go for the new season, so as to better solve the problem of labor permits.

At this time, the “Mission” column of the Super Football Training System issued a new mission. The mission was as follows:

Task 1: Establish a Satellite Club

Mission Description: To reach an agreement with a club as soon as possible to become a satellite club of Leeds United and serve Leeds United.

Date of assignment: 1 August 2005

Mission reward: [Training] Unlock [Intermediate Position Training]

Mission Failure Penalty: Team Stamina Reserve Reduced by 50%

Mission 2: The Descent of Superstars

Task Description: Leeds United are looking to bring in a superstar player with a price increase of more than £ 20 million during the transfer window

Quest reward: “Shang Meng” system on the shelves “Healing Holy Medicine”

Mission Failure Penalty: Albertini Half a Season Seriously Injured

Looking at these two missions, Zhong Cheng really had mixed feelings. He could easily complete the first mission. Wasn’t it right now that they were discussing this matter with the Ghent Club? Zhong Cheng believed that this problem would be solved perfectly.

However, Zhong Cheng felt that the second task was somewhat unnecessary.

It was because the current Leeds United did not really need a superstar of more than 20 million pounds. To bring in such a player, it would be better to bring in a few more powerful players. This would be more practical.

However, Zhong Cheng was a little anxious about the punishment for failing the second mission. Albertini had been seriously injured for half a season, so how could he play it? Zhong Cheng was not seriously injured to Albertini, so he could only complete this mission.

However, at this time, it was very difficult for Leeds Lenovo to bring in a superstar worth more than 20 million pounds. It was not that Zhong Cheng could not afford the money, it was Zhong Cheng who could afford the money. There might not be such a superstar willing to join Leeds United Club, because the attraction of Leeds United Club was not enough.

At present, a football star worth more than 20 million pounds was already a top-notch star. Who would be willing to join Leeds United for the promotion?

Therefore, this task was extremely difficult for Zhong Cheng.

However, in order for Albertini not to be injured, Zhong Cheng also wanted to complete this mission. Zhong Cheng was determined to spend twenty million pounds to bring in a superstar.

However, this was really unrealistic, because after introducing the star, the Leeds United’s salary system would definitely collapse. This was not just a matter of introducing a star, nor was it just a matter of spending 20 million pounds. Zhong Cheng would have to spend more money to balance the team’s salary structure in order to bring in such a player.

This matter is really too difficult for Leeds United at this stage, almost impossible to accomplish.

Right now, Zhong Cheng was extremely conflicted, extremely conflicted. Should he complete this second mission? This is a problem, this is a very serious problem!

Zhong Cheng had to think carefully!

Right now, Zhong Cheng was considering this question. Soon, he had some ideas. Let’s take a look first and see which superstars in the transfer market are for sale. See which superstars are willing to condescend to the Leeds United Club.

Furthermore, Zhong Cheng hoped that these superstars would come to Leeds United Club and have their salaries cut.

Isn’t this bullshit?

Is there a superstar willing to come to your Leeds Union? And you want a pay cut?

My God, is this superstar’s brain burnt out?

That was why Zhong Cheng felt that this task was extremely difficult, almost impossible to accomplish. However, Zhong Cheng did not want to see Albertini seriously injured for half a season.

Albertini is old. If he is seriously injured for another half a season, who knows how he will feel after he recovers? Perhaps Albertini is going to retire early due to serious injuries this time.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng still had to try his best to complete this task!
