Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 65: A maximum transfer fee of 1 yuan? (Seeking monthly votes)
Professional football is a very complex field!

The waters of Chinese professional football are unfathomably deep!

Overnight, the dense call logs finally made Su Hao realize what a true professional is.

In the first half of the night, most of the conversations were about showing concern or simply inquiring about news.

Then, in the middle of the night, Gao Qi called again.

The phone call revealed that Hans had arrived in Guangzhou after landing and had also contacted Gao Qi.

Hans revealed Bayern's stance to Gao Qi.

On the surface, Bayern Munich's maximum acceptable offer is 1000 million euros!

However, Hans, who knew how wealthy Evergrande was, knew very well that 10 million was not enough to make Evergrande choose to release the player. So Hans used Bayern Munich's three-piece poaching tactic with ease!
Strike, media offensive, and exorbitant signing fees!
For Hans, these three items can be described as the ultimate method that has been successful in poaching talent from all over Europe!
Just like how Bayern Munich has already secured the signing of Dortmund's prodigy, Götze.

Moreover, because Matthias was so eager for the enormous Chinese market behind Su Hao, Hans revealed that the signing fee for Gao Qi was an outrageous 500 million euros.

Originally, Gao Qi was thinking of staying with the team as Su Hao suggested, but when the signing fee of five million came out, she was completely overwhelmed by it!

Over the phone, Gao Qi even told Su Hao that Hans was definitely holding back, and that if Su Hao agreed, the signing fee could be increased to at least eight million.
It was Gao Qi's words that made Su Hao completely lose faith in him.

really
People die for wealth, birds die for food.
Other 16-year-olds might not know the ins and outs of signing fees, but Su Hao knew it perfectly well!
Why do agents most like to get their players to activate their signing bonuses?
The phone calls all night had left Su Hao with dark circles under his eyes.

However, despite being tired, Su Hao had no intention of stopping his training.

After having breakfast and saying goodbye to his parents, Su Hao took a taxi to the Evergrande training base again.

Just as Su Hao had expected, they arrived at the club entrance.

A large group of reporters who had been waiting for a long time surrounded Su Hao as soon as he got out of the car.

"Su Hao! There are confirmed reports that Bayern Munich has asked Guangzhou Evergrande for an eight million euro transfer fee, which has broken the record for the highest transfer fee for a domestic player in the Chinese Super League. What would you like to say to the fans about this?"

"Su Hao."

"Su Hao, according to management, are you going to leave the team in June?"

Su Hao was so crowded with reporters that he was about to lose his temper!
Fortunately, the security guards at the entrance had noticed Su Hao long ago, and soon, with the help of the security personnel, Su Hao finally managed to sneak into the club.

However, just as Su Hao was thinking about quickly changing his clothes and starting to grind for today's training points...

Su Hao's phone rang again.

Su Hao was about to hang up the phone!

But upon seeing the caller's name, Su Hao was momentarily stunned.
Xu Jiaying!!!
My own boss!

The top executive at Evergrande!

This phone number was one I exchanged with Xu Jiaying when I joined Evergrande.

Su Hao originally thought that saving the number was just a formality, but who would have thought that Old Xu would actually call him, and so early at that.
"Hey! Mr. Xu! Good morning!"

Since it was his boss, even though he didn't know why Lao Xu wanted to call, Su Hao immediately pressed the answer button.

"Oh! Xiao Su, have you arrived at the training ground yet? Don't overwork yourself during training!"

Got it!
Judging from what he said, it seemed like his boss was paying a lot of attention to him.
He even knows exactly when he will arrive at the club for training on time?

"Yes, Mr. Xu, I just arrived!"

"Well, Su, let's not beat around the bush. The club reported to me yesterday that Bayern Munich made a formal offer, although it's only eight million euros. But they are Bayern after all! So I didn't let them reject it directly. I was thinking of having General Manager Liu ask you what you think, but after thinking it over, I think I should ask them myself!" "After all, you are someone that Evergrande truly nurtured!"

"Having a powerhouse like Bayern Munich buy you is a great honor for Guangzhou Evergrande!"

"Sigh! I'm a true country person. Although my business has done quite well these past few years, I've never forgotten my origins. My mother passed away early, and my grandmother raised me from a young age. But now that my life is better, why is my grandmother bringing this up again!"

"Xiao Su, to be honest, I'm just a real estate agent. You know, football is my hobby, and I've always had a dream: to build a top-tier football team of our own!"

"In recent years, our Evergrande club has been losing money and has not made any profit, but I never intended to make money from football!"

"My only wish is to win an AFC Champions League title for our fans!"

"I can also watch our Chinese people lift the AFC Champions League trophy!"

"For these reasons, even if the club doesn't make money, I would be willing to squander all the money I earn elsewhere on the club!"

"Sigh! But honestly, the fact that Evergrande was able to nurture you makes all of this seem unimportant to me!"

"The fact that he can go to Bayern proves that our decision to invest heavily in youth training at all costs in running the football academy was the right one!"

With you as a role model, who knows, maybe in the second half of the year, next year, the year after, and in the future, Chinese football will really get better and better!

"Xiao Su! After saying all this, what I really want to say is that I wholeheartedly support your transfer!"

"As long as you agree!"

"No matter how much money they offer, Evergrande will accept it!"

"Bayern's eight million is a small amount, but it's fine!"

"I'll talk to General Manager Liu later! I'll tell him to fully cooperate. The transfer fee doesn't matter, as long as Bayern can give you a good contract!"

"You're one of our Evergrande's own people, you can't let them suffer losses over there!"

Opportunity may play a significant role in a person's success!

But ultimately, ability and courage are the most important things.

Previously, Su Hao's knowledge of Xu Jiaying was limited to news from small newspapers.

But only today did Su Hao understand why Guangzhou Evergrande became a symbol of an era in the history of Chinese real estate and even football.

It must be said that Xu Jiaying's words were truly...
First, he talked about his background, then about human nature, then about his original intention of not caring about anything else, and finally he showed his spirit of absolute selflessness!
If Su Hao really is 16 years old!
Perhaps after this conversation, Su Hao will be willing to dedicate his entire life to Evergrande.

"Mr. Xu! I don't want to leave. No matter what, I have to win the AFC Champions League trophy with you first!"

"Haha! Little Su, you..."

At noon that day.

Guangzhou Evergrande then released an official response to Bayern Munich's offer on its official website.

[Guangzhou Evergrande Football Club is very grateful to Bayern Munich for their interest in Su Hao, a product of their youth academy. However, Su Hao has no intention of transferring this season. Furthermore, Guangzhou Evergrande officially announced today that, in order to support the future development of youth training in Chinese football, they will fully support Su Hao's decision to play abroad and promise to only charge a transfer fee of 1 yuan!]

On this day, the name Evergrande once again dominated headlines across China.

Stock prices are soaring, and real estate sales across the country are once again skyrocketing!

P.S.: It's almost the end of the month, I'm begging for your monthly votes!
