I am the king of football

Chapter 157 Doubled Again
Frankly speaking, Ferguson and the person in charge who took the initiative to invite Qin Hu to watch Manchester United's last game were very embarrassed, because their strong confidence and stability made them believe that the team had a great chance of reversing Manchester City in the final stage and winning the championship, which led to the idea of ​​inviting Qin Hu to watch the game in advance.

However, things did not go as planned. Although Manchester United would have been the champion of the Premier League this season until 93 minutes and 20 seconds of the last round of the league, unfortunately Manchester City finally completed the reversal with the help of last season's Premier League record signing Aguero.

The Premier League champion was overthrown once again, and the opponent was the team's city rival Manchester City. This is really a slap in the face.

After the last league game, Ferguson, who had wanted to meet Qin Hu in advance, awkwardly gave up the idea. He just sent Qin Hu a message asking him to enjoy his vacation and look forward to meeting him in the new season.

Qin Hu didn't know the reason behind this. When faced with the message sent by Sir Alex Ferguson, he was flattered and replied very solemnly.

Compared with the players and the head coach, Mendes actually gained an advantage because of this incident. When his negotiations with the person in charge of setting player salaries at Manchester United reached a deadlock, the result that Manchester United eventually finished second in the season came out.

"Look! As the top-billed player and one of the team's highest-paid players, Aguero helped Manchester City complete such a huge turnaround. Isn't that enough to motivate you? Judge, generous remuneration is the key to players' hard work on the court. Manchester City has already started to spend money like crazy, and you are still arguing with me over 20,000 pounds!"

Mendes' words were very direct about restarting the negotiations directly. As the agent who contributed to the trade of Ronaldo to Manchester United, Mendes was quite familiar with many of Manchester United's leaders. This was also an important reason why he was confident that he could get enough benefits for Qin Hu.

"Stop, Jorge! We shouldn't argue over 20,000 pounds, but we're discussing a weekly salary, not a signing bonus. I get it. I'll negotiate with the top management. I hope the Qin you mentioned is really worth the money."

"Huh, what are you talking about? Qin is a player that Mr. Ferguson has chosen. How can he be bad?"

"From the perspective of the Championship's performance, it is indeed not bad, but the real performance will have to wait and see next season. In recent years, many of the players bought by the club have not met expectations..."

The first half of the sentence was a response to Mendes, and the second half was Judge expressing his own thoughts.

As Sir Alex Ferguson got older, he gradually returned all the boss rights he once held to the club, including the right to recruit players. Except for the players designated by Sir Alex Ferguson, for other players he only gave some requirements on position and characteristics and let the club's transfer manager look for them.

The person in charge who focuses on the market naturally does not have the vision of Sir Alex Ferguson, which has led to the club's recruitment in recent years being purchased based on market feedback and promotion, which is far worse than when Ferguson was in charge.

Because he had a very high authority, Judge soon received feedback. After the team was reversed by Manchester City in the last minute to win the championship, the club's top management had made up their minds to recruit new players this season. Suddenly, Qin Hu's weekly salary of 20,000 pounds was no longer so important.

Of course, this is also related to the final results Qin Hu achieved in Hull City. The data of 66 goals and 12 assists is quite exaggerated no matter how you look at it. Even in the Championship, it can still reflect Qin Hu's extraordinary strength.

"Jorge, you can earn a good income again. The higher-ups have agreed to a weekly salary of 90,000."

"Haha, happy to cooperate."

The next day, Qin Hu, who had already started packing his luggage at his home in Hull City, received a call from Mendes. His salary at Manchester United had not been determined until now, but this time it was finally finalized.

"Congratulations, Qin. Your salary has doubled again. Now you are now in the top five in Manchester United. The only players ahead of you are Rooney, Ferdinand and Vidic."

In order to let Qin Hu understand this concept, Mendes also specially added reference players, and the ones he mentioned were all big names in Manchester United.

In 2012, when the money-driven football had not yet swept the football world, except for teams like Chelsea and Manchester City, which were owned by wealthy people, the salaries of other clubs were quite stable, without any exaggerated surge. Setting a weekly salary of pounds for Qin Hu was a direct reflection of Manchester United's attention to him. You should know that Rooney, the team's top-paid player, had previously only earned a little over pounds a week. Although the team increased his contract by pounds during the contract renewal negotiations, this was all earned by the hardworking and uncomplaining Rooney over the years.

As a newly joined young player, Qin Hu has not even played in the top league, let alone brought anything to the team. It is quite good to be able to offer such a high salary.

"Received sir, thank you for your hard work in negotiation~"

"Haha, in addition to the weekly salary, there are also a series of bonuses for goals and appearances. I will send them to you later. As long as you can perform at the level you deserve, Manchester United is not a club that will sting."

"understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Hu was so excited about the salary increase and doubling of his annual income that he picked up Lin Lan, who was happily packing their luggage, and took her for a spin.

"what!"

Lin Lan was caught off guard and her face turned red with shame. After being blocked by Qin Hu, she slapped Qin Hu angrily.

"What are you doing~"

"Haha, Lanlan, my salary has increased again. This time I can finally rent a place with a court."

With a smile, he announced to Lin Lan the new salary that Mendes had negotiated for him: 90,000 pounds a week, which means an annual salary of more than 4 million pounds. This was a rather exaggerated figure, and Lin Lan was sincerely happy for him when she heard about it.

However, on the other hand, Lin Lan, who has gradually integrated into the school and started to develop in a professional direction, also secretly urged herself to work harder so that she could really help Qin Hu in the future.

That afternoon, a truck loaded with luggage set off from Qin Hu's residence for Manchester. Qin Hu drove his sports car and went to the rented hotel with Lin Lan. The long summer transfer window had begun, and they had plenty of time to find a new and suitable place to live.

A week later, Qin Hu contacted Jonas, the owner of a villa quite close to Manchester United's training base, through Mendes's relationship. The other party was a die-hard fan of Manchester United. After learning that Qin, who was about to join the team, wanted to rent a house, the middle-aged uncle ran over in person with great excitement.

After the other party introduced to Qin Hu the small stadium that they had spent a lot of effort to build in the backyard of the villa, both parties were very satisfied and quickly signed the contract.

"Qin, I look forward to your wonderful performance in Manchester United. I really like your dominance on the court. This is what the team needs right now. The team has been too decadent in recent years!"

Before leaving, Qin Hu took the initiative to take a photo with Jonas and signed his first name for him since arriving in Manchester. After hearing the other party's expectations for him, he showed a hearty smile.

"Thank you very much. Don't worry, I will try my best on the court."

Chapter 2012 is here! Thank you all for your support!!! In that era, it really felt like the salaries and transfer fees of the players were all very cheap, which was totally different from the current situation where it is often million. Qin Hu's salary of pounds was quite good in Manchester United in . When he really gets a firm foothold and starts to work hard, there is still room for improvement~
