Lvyin Fengmo

Chapter 40

Lin Lan has been very busy recently, so busy that she had to temporarily close her extracurricular tutoring class.

On May 5th, she cooperated with Lu Feng to finish the four-hour exclusive CCTV interview. She also had to prepare dinner for her son and the reporters and provide various logistical support.

Early the next morning, she had to go to the administrative center of the Liverpool club to negotiate her son's new contract with the management.

That's right, a new contract.

Although Lu Feng just got his first official contract in his career nine months ago, and only played 100 minutes in the whole season, even a fool can see that the Liverpool club has definitely found a treasure!
Lu Feng played 5 times in the first half of the year, scoring 5 goals and sending 1 pass. Such statistics are already dazzling enough, not to mention... Liverpool won all the games he played in!

The Fenway Group, which has an extremely sensitive business sense, offered a big contract without hesitation. With a wave of his hand, the boss, John Henry, raised Lu Feng's weekly salary from a pitiful £2000 to £2!A full ten times!
You know, the weekly salary of Sturridge, the winner of the Premier League silver boot and the second scorer in the team, is only 7 pounds!
And Sterling, who has been trained by the Red Army in recent years and has played the main force for two seasons, only got a contract of 4 pounds!

They are willing to offer a high salary, but they just hope that Lu Feng can be more closely bound to Liverpool, for example... extending the contract to 6 years.

In today's football, in order to protect the interests of players, signing contracts are generally not too long, especially for famous stars, there are very few contracts of more than 4 years-unless they are long-term invitations from Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Liverpool CEO Ian Ayre was also mentally prepared to start a tug-of-war with the Lu family, but to his surprise, Lin Lan just called his son and signed the draft contract.

Lin Lan smiled and nodded to Al:
"My son has never thought of playing for another club. If it weren't for the rules, he would sign a lifetime contract with Liverpool."
-
"The basic weekly salary is 2, the league starter is 3000, the goal bonus is 5000, the assist is 3000, and the winning bonus is 10000..."

Although she didn't care much about the exact figures, Lin Lan still made a calculation for her husband and son after returning home:

"Conservative calculations, even if you played 10 times this season, scored 10 goals, and assisted 10, this is 0.3*10+0.5*10+0.3*10+1*10=21, plus a basic salary of 100 million , the total annual salary is 121 million pounds, calculated according to the current 1-9.6, your pre-tax income is at least 1161 million yuan, you are a multi-millionaire!"

Lu Tianlin was happy for his son for a second, then out of a man's self-esteem, he was a little depressed again.

He has worked hard for 22 years since he graduated from university at the age of 20. It seems that he will not earn as much as his son in the next year?

——Of course, this is the result of calculating numbers without considering the wage level and price index over the past 20 years.

Lin Lan glanced at her husband, and suddenly couldn't bear to continue:

"After you finish playing the Toulon Cup, we have to go back to China to deal with several commercial sponsorship contracts, such as... Adidas and Nike, which one do you prefer?"

Lu Feng shrugged his shoulders.

Instead of asking which of the two companies has the higher sponsorship fee, he proposed another option:
"Let them design a pair of my exclusive football boots, and choose whichever one is more comfortable to wear!"
-
5 month 16 day.

Lu Feng's family of four arrived in Toulon, a port city in southeastern France.

Toulon has a typical Mediterranean climate – hot and dry summers with little rain, and warm and humid winters.

But despite this, the highest temperature every day in this season is only 34 degrees. As long as you avoid the hottest time, it is still a suitable climate for football.

Lu Tianlin and Lin Lan took their youngest daughter to the beach to enjoy the warm sunshine and blue ocean of the Mediterranean Sea. The hard-working eldest son Lu Feng had to go to the training base of the Chinese team to report alone.

He was greeted by Olympic team coach Fu Bo and team leader Guo Bingyan.

China is probably one of the countries that likes to rank seniority the most. Even in the face of Lu Feng, a new generation of future star and meritorious player of the new Premier League champion Liverpool, the two leaders can't help but want to establish their own authority.

"We have been training in China for almost a week, and only you are the last one to report. Considering that you have just finished playing the Premier League and are relatively tired, you will not be arranged to start the first game. I hope you can understand such intentions ..."

Coach Fu subconsciously glanced at Team Leader Guo, and continued:
"Of course, don't relax too much, because we are very likely to let you come off the bench at any time."

They wanted to see the grievance and unwillingness on the young players' faces. After all, as a Liverpool first-team player, Lu Feng deserved more special treatment than other teammates.

As long as Lu Feng dared to show his emotions, they wouldn't mind giving him a political lesson in the name of "overall situation" and "stability"!

But they were disappointed.

Lu Feng didn't seem to have any negative emotions on his face, and even showed a relaxed smile:

"Thanks to Director Fu and Team Leader Guo for their understanding. They gave me such a precious opportunity to rest. I really hope that we can gain an early advantage in the first half, so that I can rest for a while!"

He has already seen through the truth.

To Lu Feng, the Toulon Cup and the Olympic team games are probably not as important as Liverpool's team training games.

It's a waste of time, doesn't do any good, and won't even be acknowledged by the system.

Think about it, how much effort does he have to spend to lead these teammates to victory?

How could he beat opponents like France and Chile if he didn't go all out?

Since the head coach and the team leader wanted to discuss with him the opportunity to play, he didn't mind giving up. He even treated the whole process like a melon eater, and had the right to watch a few low-level warm-up games up close.

The climate and scenery of Toulon, a seaside city, are pretty good. At worst, it’s a public-funded tour!
If this doesn’t make the leaders vent their anger, they can use the name of the Chinese Football Association to issue a circular to criticize seriously in front of 13 billion Chinese and 60 billion people in the world:
A mere Liverpool player who has just signed a professional contract, only got a league championship medal with 100 minutes of playing time, dares to play big names in the sacred and inviolable Olympic team competition, and has an extremely improper training attitude. From now on, all levels of national teams will be permanently expelled!
Lu Feng touched his conscience and swore:
Don't worry, I will never complain to anyone on this issue!
As long as my expulsion is conducive to the unity of the national team, to the better results of Chinese football, and to the Chinese Football Association and the General Administration of Sports being recognized by great leaders, I am willing to stay out of the national team for the rest of my life!
