Chapter 311 Am I That Kind of Person?

The Premier League summer transfer window usually starts in mid-June.

But basically before that, many deals had already been negotiated.

Once the transfer window opens, the official announcement will be made.

Arsenal fans all over the world are looking forward to the new owner's big signings.

During this month, Jin Yingke became a frequent flyer.

The turnover is in Spain, Italy and France.

According to the recruitment list provided by Qi Sheng, players were purchased one by one.

Paid a transfer fee of 30 million pounds to take the Norwegian talented midfielder Odegaard away from Real Madrid.

Before Arsenal fans could start cheering.

The continuous official announcements were enough to make their jaws drop.

Real Madrid's right back Ashraf also joined Arsenal for £40 million.

Inter Milan also wanted to buy Ashraf, but Arsenal offered more money.

Whether it is annual salary or transfer fee.

Inter Milan’s financial resources cannot support them to continue bidding.

Although 300 million euros were borrowed from Qi Sheng, some debts and operating funds were used to repay them.

The budget available for transfers is also very limited.

Especially when he learned that the boss behind Arsenal might be Qi Sheng, Zhang Kangyang decisively gave up the idea of ​​competing.

Fortunately, Arsenal not only competed with them for players, but also their city rivals AC Milan.

Left-back Theo Hernandez decided to join Arsenal, which made Zhang Kangyang unable to help but smile.

Although they did not buy Ashraf, AC Milan also lost Theo Hernandez.

AC Milan really doesn't want to let him go, but they have to face Arsenal's weekly salary of 80,000 pounds before tax.

The renewal terms they offered were not competitive at all.

He could only accept the £40 million transfer fee offered by Arsenal and purchase other replacement players.

At AC Milan, Theo can only get an annual salary of 1.5 million euros.

But if he joins Arsenal, he can get an annual salary of 5 million euros before tax, which is more than three times the amount.

For players, talking about loyalty is ridiculous.

The only teams that can compete with the Premier League in financial strength are rivals in the same league and a few European giants.

…

Jin Ying is very generous in recruiting players.

Compared to the list of signings recommended by several insiders in the club, she naturally trusts Qi Sheng more.

Even if these players don't perform well, the worst that can happen is that they can be sold at a loss.

If they kick it out, they will make a lot of money.

Jin Ying is responsible for recruiting players, while the task of cleaning up the players' offenders is handed over to sports director Edu.

According to Qi Sheng's request, several of Arsenal's current high-paid players will be sent away.

The future direction of recruitment will also focus on young players with great potential.

"Mr. Haaland, we will directly activate your son's £55 million release clause."

"You and your agent can get a total of 15 million pounds in commissions, and we will provide the team with a maximum salary of 200,000 pounds."

"With all due respect, there is no team in the entire Premier League that is more sincere than us."

Jin Ying stirred the coffee slowly and leisurely, full of confidence in the conditions she offered.

"Ms. Jin, we have already felt Arsenal's sincerity, but I want to think carefully for a few more days. I hope you can understand."

Old Haaland looked at his son grinning and couldn't help but hold his forehead helplessly.

Although physically, his son is far better than him.

But in terms of IQ, they are far behind.

"I understand, but I will wait until tomorrow morning at the latest. If you still can't give me an accurate answer, I will go to Lille, France to sign Osimhen. He will definitely be happy to join Arsenal."

Jin Ying said this with a smile, then stood up and left.

"Dad, I think Arsenal is great, I want to play in the Premier League!"

Haaland looked at his father and had a rare idea.

He simply wanted to feel the defensive strength of the Premier League defenders, and was definitely not attracted by Arsenal's £200,000 weekly salary.

"Alas, I originally wanted you to join a team that is willing to break Mbappe's transfer fee record, but it seems we don't have that chance."

Haaland Sr. sees Mbappe as his son's lifelong rival and naturally wants to surpass the French superstar in all aspects.

"It's only a matter of time. I'll go to Arsenal to level up first. By then, there will definitely be a team willing to spend the money!"

Haaland is full of confidence in himself.

The defenders in the Bundesliga are too weak and can't defend him at all.

With his physique, he would definitely be able to thrive even in the Premier League.

"Is that decided?"

"Well, let's go to Arsenal. London is much more lively than Manchester. I like big cities!"

Haaland meant what he said.

Even though his father is a Manchester City legend, it does not affect his preference for big cities.

"You kid!"

Old Harland glared at his son and dialed a number.

"Mino, Erling and I have decided to join Arsenal. You need to help us negotiate the details of the deal."

"Arsenal?"

Raiola on the other end of the phone was very surprised and said with a smile: "It can be seen that their new boss is full of ambition. Another client of mine, Ibrahimovic, has also received an invitation from Arsenal. It just so happens that Erling can learn some experience from Zlatan."

"Ibrahimovic is going to Arsenal too?"

Old Haaland was very surprised, but he was not worried that the other party would take away his son's position.

"According to gossip, Abramovich made a bet with the Chinese owner. Chelsea's recruitment is also very crazy, and even Manchester City has been prompted to increase its investment in recruiting players."

"It's a pity that we haven't received any transfer offers from top clubs."

"Haha, not all teams can afford Erling."

"Of course, Erling is a genius, so naturally only a wealthy club is his destiny!"

"Alf, believe me, with the Chinese owner here, Arsenal's future will be no worse than any other top club."

…

With Arsenal’s important official announcement, all the fans were excited.

The super genius Haaland, who was closely watched by all the giants in Europe, was bought by Arsenal for 55 million pounds.

The fans sang praises to the new boss without asking for any money, because the Chinese boss is so awesome.

Compared to the stingy Kroenke, the Chinese female boss Jin Ying is extremely generous.

What is even more unbelievable to many Arsenal fans is that the team’s recruitment has not stopped yet.

Argentine striker Alvarez joined Arsenal for £15 million.

West Ham United midfielder Rice joined Arsenal for £50 million.

Rennes midfielder Camavinga joined Arsenal for £15 million.

Monaco midfielder Chuuameni was also bought by Jin Ying for 35 million pounds.

Arsenal spent a full 100 million pounds on the defensive midfielder position alone.

The defense also received reinforcements.

25 million pounds to sign Gabriel, the central defender of Troyes in French Ligue 1.

£15 million to sign Croatian central defender Gvardiol.

For the goalkeeper position, Ramsdale was bought for £27 million and Raya was bought for £13 million.

Arsenal's investment in this summer transfer window has reached a staggering 360 million pounds! Including agent commissions and player signing fees.

Arsenal spent a full 400 million pounds.

The unbridled happiness makes many Arsenal fans feel a little unbelievable.

The Chinese bosses' momentum in spending money is even more ferocious than when Abramovich took over Chelsea.

Looking at Arsenal’s signings, they are all young players with outstanding potential in current football, and their average age is no more than 23 years old.

Where there are buyers, there are naturally sellers.

Xhaka was bought by Leverkusen for £20 million, and Pepe moved to Riyadh Crescent for £10 million.

But most of the players in Arsenal who can be cleared out are not worth much.

All in all, they barely managed to collect 100 million pounds.

Many high-paid players are unwilling to leave, so the only option is to buy them out to make room.

The specific expenses were allocated by Jin Ying over five years.

This will save Arsenal from having to pass the Financial Fair Play Act review later.

The actual net transfer investment exceeded 300 million pounds.

There is no way around it. All teams know that Arsenal is rich and they all want to make a fortune from it.

This is all thanks to Jin Ying's excellent negotiation skills, as she was able to negotiate a transfer fee that was basically commensurate with the player's worth.

But for Qi Sheng, is spending an extra 100 million pounds a big deal?

With Arteta's current ability, coupled with this lineup that can be said to be the ceiling for the next few years.

If you still can't win the Premier League title, just get out.

Not to mention that even a tying a dog can win the championship, as long as the head coach is there, the results will not be too bad.

While Qi Sheng was shopping, Abu was not idle either.

Lukaku, Havertz, Sancho, Grealish, Werner, Chilwell, Ziyech, Ben White, Mendy.

Chelsea's net transfer investment also reached 300 million pounds.

After buying the person, Abu called Qi Sheng to show off.

"Qi, are you interested in playing a friendly match?"

"Friendly match?"

"You choose the place, and I'll contact a few more teams. This will be a test of our talent for buying players."

"Well... I'll call up Inter Milan and any other team, and there will be no shortage of popularity."

"I will contact Florentino, Real Madrid should also be interested."

Qi Sheng hung up the phone and couldn't help shaking his head.

Although Abdu is in his fifties, he is still a naughty boy when it comes to football.

Although the Premier League will start in August, Abramovich can't wait that long.

Can't wait to play a real-life football manager game with Qi Sheng.

With Abramovich's mediation, Real Madrid naturally accepted the invitation readily.

On the Inter Milan side, Zhang Kangyang naturally did not dare to refuse Qi Sheng's request.

After all, Qi Sheng is their creditor, so they naturally have to give him face for such a small matter.

Zhang Kangyang promised without hesitation that all of Inter Milan's main players would play.

As the host, Qi Sheng generously covered all food and travel expenses during the entire friendly match.

Of course, Qi Sheng’s efforts were not in vain.

First, the original organizer of the International Champions Cup was acquired, and then the scope of invitations was expanded.

Manchester United and Manchester City, both in the Premier League, are also on the invitation list.

Together with AC Milan introduced by Zhang Kangyang and Paris Saint-Germain who volunteered to sign up, there are exactly eight teams.

Not only can you make money, but you can also test the level of players and observe the strength of your competitors.

These teams will certainly not miss it.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The entire competition system is divided into two groups according to the rules of the World Cup.

Each team only plays three group matches, and the top two advance.

Just participating in the International Champions Cup will earn you an appearance fee of 2.5 million euros.

In the group stage, each win will earn 2.5 million euros.

Advancing to the semi-finals will receive an additional 5 million euros in prize money.

If they advance to the finals, they will receive an additional 10 million euros in prize money.

Winning the championship will receive an additional reward of 20 million euros.

Theoretically, if a team wins the championship with a perfect record, it can get 45 million euros.

In a maximum of one month, you can get 45 million euros.

Never mind these invited clubs.

Even many clubs that were not invited came to us.

Qi Sheng was too lazy to worry about these trivial matters, so he asked Daniel Hillman, the head of the event organizing company he had just acquired, to carry out the task.

Once the event is ready, the broadcasting platform will be Xingchen Video.

…

In the past few months, the interior decoration work of the twin towers was finally completed successfully thanks to the urgent work of Shengxuan Decoration.

Of the two buildings, the North Tower has relatively more floors.

Qi Sheng gave it to Xingchen Video for use.

Last month, after repeated testing, Xingchen Video officially landed on major app stores.

There was too little content in the early stages, so Qi Sheng simply let Xingchen Video operate for free.

It’s free and the picture clarity is as good as that of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video.

Even if users vote with their feet, they know who to support.

Of course, Qi Sheng is not doing charity either.

There is a lack of content in the early stages, so free promotion can be used to build up a user base.

As more high-quality dramas and variety shows become available, the platform will naturally start charging a fee.

Originally, Zhang Wei was still a little worried about this free operation method.

With the arrival of Qi Sheng's 3 billion yuan, Zhang Wei wholeheartedly supported his boss's wise decision.

They haven't spent the previous 2 billion yet.

Another 3 billion has come, which is really amazing.

"Universal Entertainment still follows the old rules and just gives a cost price for each drama."

Qi Sheng casually reminded Zhang Wei, "You should pay more attention to variety shows, and don't be stingy with the money when inviting celebrities. The production of Sister Lang is very good, and similar high-quality variety shows should increase investment."

"Don't worry, the popularity of Sister Lang continues. At your request, we did not give up the naming rights easily."

"Jindian offered the highest bid after the show became a hit, paying 200 million yuan for the naming rights, and is also interested in contracting the naming rights for the next series."

"The total investment income is close to 600 million yuan. After deducting the production costs, the profit is about 400 million yuan."

Zhang Wei looked at his boss with admiration.

The popularity of Sister Lang was somewhat beyond his expectations.

If the boss hadn't been so confident, the income from attracting investors might have been less than half of what it is now.

After the first episode of streaking went online, the show became a hit.

His phone was almost blown up by advertisers, all wanting to take advantage of the popularity.

"I am very confident in your work, but there is one thing you must remember. You must be cautious in selecting the candidates for Sister Lang."

"Don't blindly pursue popularity and affect the reputation of the program. I hope Sister Lang can become an evergreen program on Xingchen Video."

Qi Sheng was also giving Zhang Wei a shot of prevention.

Save this guy from being obsessed with money and ruining the reputation of the show.

"Ahem, I understand."

Zhang Wei scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't expect that his boss could see through his little thoughts.

"By the way, boss, there are a few female celebrities here to interview for the second season of Sister Lang. Should I help you arrange it?"

Zhang Wei showed a smile that every man can understand. It was obvious that this arrangement had some special meaning.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"

Qi Sheng glared at Zhang Wei, but he had nothing to do anyway.

“Who’s coming for the interview?”

"Wang Ou, Hu Jing, Lv Yi...they are the only three people here for the interview today."

Zhang Wei very professionally asked for the audition photos of three female artists.

She looks pretty good, and says she looks younger than people of the same age.

As for female celebrities, they mainly rely on their fame and works.

"Let Wang Ou come over."

Qi Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Call Hu Jing as well."

"OK."

Zhang Wei understood and left, and brought the person over soon.

"You two please come in. I won't go in. This audition is very crucial. You all know how popular Sister Lang is. This opportunity is very rare."

Standing outside the chairman's office, Zhang Wei simply mentioned it.

With Wang Ou and Hu Jing's experience, they are certainly not the little girls who cannot let go.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. We understand."

Wang Ou and Hu Jing looked at each other, feeling awkward but also a little competitive.

Just being on the list of Sisters Who Make Waves is not enough to guarantee that they can become popular again.

If we can secure a place in the final group, that would be a real bonus! …

In the conference room, Qi Sheng heard a knock on the door and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Enter."

As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open.

Two familiar figures, dressed up carefully, walked in.

He said he was familiar with them because Qi Sheng had seen the dramas they had filmed before.

Needless to say, Wang Ou is Yang Mi's archenemy and is considered one of the few female stars in the domestic entertainment industry with superb acting skills.

The role of Hu Jing that left the most impressive impression on Qi Sheng was Gao Xiaoqin in In the Name of People.

No man can refuse a smart and capable lover like Gao Xiaoqin.

Thanks to this role, Hu Jing became a little famous in China.

As for the wealthy Malaysian husband she married before, he is not as rich as the outside world thinks.

Otherwise, at such an old age, why would she come to participate in Sister Lang to gain popularity? "President Qi."

When they saw Qi Sheng's face, Wang Ou and Hu Jing were both amazed.

The embarrassment and depression in my heart also disappeared.

Although it requires some sacrifice, it is well within their acceptable range.

But if the target is a man like Qi Sheng, they will inexplicably have the illusion that they have made a good deal.

"Hello, sit down."

Qi Sheng stood up from his boss chair and walked towards the reception area.

His tall and straight figure made Wang Ou and Hu Jing's eyes shine.

Men like beautiful women until they die, so how can women not be moved when they meet handsome men?

"The recording of Sister Lang Season 2 will not be too fast for now, and the production team will be very cautious with the contestants."

Qi Sheng’s meaning is already very clear.

"Mr. Qi, I have a talent show."

Wang Ou stood up first and did a split on the high-grade solid wood floor, showing his good flexibility.

"good."

Qi Sheng looked at Hu Jing and asked with a smile: "Do you have any talent to show?"

"Mr. Qi, my talent is quite special. Can we go to another place?"

Hu Jing looked at the figure walking outside the window and was still somewhat worried.

"Inside is the lounge, and you can show off as much as you want."

The lounge that Qi Sheng had asked someone to prepare earlier came in handy immediately.

There is a hidden door connecting the lounge and the office.

The room is fully equipped with a bed, sofa and bathroom.

Hu Jing entered the lounge and completely relaxed.

For this audition, Hu Jing was very thoughtful and wore the costume of her most classic role, Gao Xiaoqin.

A red patterned skirt, flesh-colored stockings on her legs, and white high heels.

The smell of a lover came out immediately.

Hu Jing didn't hesitate. She pushed Qi Sheng onto the sofa and sat on his legs naturally.

Wang Ou, who followed in, also felt pressured when he saw Hu Jing like this.

Especially when I think about the fact that Yang Mi signed with Qi Sheng’s company, there will be endless resources.

The dramas she filmed were all big productions that were beyond her reach.

Wang Ou, not wanting to be left behind, also sat on the sofa and placed Qi Sheng's hand on her long black silk legs.
