Chapter 309: Maximum salary renewal!The working emperor of the Premier League! !
[Kenke takes the Gunners private, where will Arsenal go? 】
Just when a large number of media were not optimistic about Arsenal next season, Arsenal, which had been delisted, restarted the renewal of Martin's contract and quickly reached an agreement.
Weekly salary of 32 pounds, a basic salary without liability.
The appearance fee is 6 pounds per game.
按照马丁在2015-2016赛季出场62场计算，不算其他任何奖金就能够从阿森纳拿到2036万英镑，以英超45%税率来看，税后也能拿到1119.8万英镑。
As for bonus terms, they remain basically unchanged.
The bonus for each goal has also been doubled, from £2/goal to £4/goal, and the same goes for assist bonuses, from £1/assist to £2/assist.
At the end of the contract extension clause, Mendes also added one.
[Maximum salary in Premier League]
This means that if a player from another Premier League team earns a higher weekly salary than Martin, then Arsenal must unconditionally match the new Premier League maximum salary.
Of course, Arsenal is not without guarantees.
After Martin signed a new contract, his direct contribution in the new season cannot be less than 2015% of that in the 2016-60 season.
According to international practice, when signing a new contract, there will naturally be a signing fee.
£500m after tax.
The loyalty clauses of the old contract in the new contract still apply and do not need to be recalculated.
Originally, the focus of the world was on the European Cup in France and the [-]-year American Cup in Samoa. Unexpectedly, Kroenke's privatization of Arsenal became the center of the new topic.
The shelving of the contract extension with the star player is seen by many media and fans as a precursor to Arsenal's downfall.
Because no one would believe that Kroenke would suddenly change his gender.
Until Arsenal’s official website and major officially certified social accounts release new updates at the same time.
[We are pleased to announce exciting news. Our most important player, Martin, has completed a contract extension with the team. The contract between the two parties will expire in June 2021. 】
Not long after, "Football London" broke the news, mentioning that insiders learned from core members of the Kroenke family that they would increase investment after the privatization and promised to use all bonuses from the 2015-2016 season on signings.
Many media previously reported Arsenal’s total income in the 2015-2016 season.
The total revenue from the Premier League championship bonus, British local broadcast distribution bonus and global broadcast share is 1.1 million pounds. This revenue also makes Arsenal the club with the highest revenue in a single season since the establishment of the Premier League.
Beyond that, there's matchday revenue and commercial development.
That is, home tickets, catering, merchandise sales, jerseys, sponsorships, and partners.
There are also bonuses for the FA Cup winner and the EFL Cup winner in the British arena.
There is also a Champions League winner’s prize in the Champions League.
Counting all revenue, it is at least 5 million euros. According to the current Champions League and pound sterling exchange rate of 1:0.7982, the revenue is close to [-] million pounds.
Arsenal fans couldn't help but get excited.
Not to mention spending all [-] million pounds to sign players, spending half of it is crazy enough.
Not long after, Martin's weekly salary after completing his contract extension with Arsenal was also revealed by so-called insiders.
£32 before tax.
Properly the number one working emperor in the Premier League!
In addition, the [Premier League maximum salary] can also be added to the contract.
Arsenal fans naturally won't think there is anything wrong. They see Martin's contribution to the team.
Without Martin, it would be impossible for Arsenal to win championships in all competitions.
Even if he gets an annual salary that is unmatched by Messi and Ronaldo, it will not be surprising.
There are even some Arsenal and Martin fans who think that Kroenke is still too stingy and too unstructured.
Fans of other teams are saying sour grapes, claiming that Martin will definitely be subject to targeted defense next season, and it is completely impossible to produce the same statistics as in his first season in the Premier League...
Just when everyone's focus was on Martin's new contract benefits, Martin, as the party concerned, had already boarded a flight from London to Pengcheng accompanied by his agent Mendes.
Since flights are booked instantly, there is no business class and you can only buy economy class.
I thought they would all arrive at the same time, no matter what cabin I took.
The flight time is about half a day, which is 12 hours.
After the plane calmed down, agent Mendes hugged the blanket sent by the flight attendant and put on earplugs and went to sleep.
Martin was a little bored. He turned his head and craned his neck to look at the front page of The Times, which was being read by a young man of similar age across the aisle to his right.
The newspaper headline was the news that he had renewed his contract with Arsenal: Contract renewal!The working emperor of the Premier League! !
The photo on the front page was of himself kneeling down to celebrate scoring the winning goal in the Champions League final.
The young man blurted out a dragon language: "We also have a superstar in the Dragon Kingdom!"
Martin couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy when he saw that both of them were from the Dragon Kingdom and were fans of his family.
The young man felt the special gaze coming from his left and raised his brows slightly, but didn't say anything.
What made him depressed was that the person watching beside him was looking at it with great interest. He showed it to the other person and waved his hand and said: I just took a casual look.
Less than 2 minutes later, he propped his chin with his right hand and looked over again.
If it weren't for the sake of being a compatriot, he would have the urge to curse.
This happened two or three times in a row.
He really wanted to say: Brother, I’m showing it to you but I’m not looking at it. I want you to look at it too. Could it be...
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but tighten my anus.
For this reason, I had to take out my notebook from my schoolbag and open Word.
After a while, the masked man across the aisle asked: "Are you writing a football novel? What's its name? I happen to like reading it too."
"Just write and play."
"I just saw that you have reached chapter 132. It must be serialized."
"This is to save the manuscript for use when it is distributed."
"Have you decided on a name?"
"Uh... I've thought about it."
"What's the title of the book?"
"I haven't posted it yet."
"It's okay, just remember it first and pay attention to it later."
"..."
"Brother, don't be stingy."
"It's called...well, I still think the title I thought of before was not very good, so I have to come up with a new one."
"How about I think of one for you? Where should I write it?"
"..."
……
Although Martin's itinerary is confidential, there are still channels for Martin's flight information to leak out.
With his current popularity, the flight from London Feipeng City spread to the entire Dragon Kingdom in a very short time.
As a result, tens of thousands of fans were waiting at the international arrival gate of Pengcheng Anbao International Airport.
Had it not been for airport security to maintain order and local patrols to implement temporary controls, the number of fans coming to the airport would have been even greater.
When Martin saw the huge crowd of fans at the International Arrival, he was stunned.
Having always loved his fans, he took off his mask and goggles when he saw the enthusiastic fans, smiled and waved to the fans who were holding up slogans and posters.
"Martin!"
"Martin!!"
"Martin!!!"
The overwhelming shouts instantly echoed throughout the airport.
A young man in his early 20s looked at the much-anticipated Martin and twitched his lips slightly. He exclaimed in a voice that only he could hear: "My dear mother, the strange man is actually Martin?"
The voice was full of regret.
But as the saying goes, the one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon.
He took out a large marker pen directly from his suitcase, and then took out Martin's final version of the jersey that he finally bought at the fan store at the Emirates Stadium. He ran up to Martin and shouted: "Martin, my idol, Please sign your name for me~"
Martin recognized the player from across the aisle, took the marker with a smile, and quickly signed his name in dragon language cursive on the back of the jersey.
"Thank you idol!"
"you are welcome."
Martin, who had just turned around, suddenly remembered something: "Can you tell me the name of your novel?"
"Uh~ Of course, the book is called Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior and has been released on the Qidian Chinese website."
"Well, remember, if I think it's good, I'll recommend it to you."
The young man was ecstatic: "Thank you idol!"
……
At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Martin, accompanied by Mendes, went to the Penguin headquarters in Nanshan District to sign an endorsement contract with FIFA ONLINE 3, the Penguin agent.
The Mendes team has already negotiated relevant terms with Penguin, and Martin went to Penguin headquarters just to go through the process and be responsible for signing.
The two parties signed a 2+1 contract, worth 2500 million dragon coins per year, which is equivalent to about 340 million euros.
Afterwards, a small promotional video of about 30 seconds was shot according to the script.
Easily, I got more than 1000 million dragon coins after tax.
Great!
※※※※※
Mendes and Martin parted ways at Anbao International Airport. One took a flight back to London, and the other took a flight to the imperial capital.
"You really don't need an escort?" Mendes asked before boarding the plane.
"Need not."
Martin smiled and said: "I said before that I wanted to do something within my ability in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. You said you were not familiar with Longguo, so I used Longguo's Persian direct recruitment to recruit an assistant who will be responsible for my affairs in Longguo. .”
Mendes' expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
A star like Martin will have his own team sooner or later, and he only needs to be responsible for Martin's affairs in football.
He smiled and said: "Then... see you next month, and... pay attention to safety."
"OK."
……
According to the original contract signed with Puma, Martin must participate in an event in Dragon Country every year.
The place chosen this year is the black label store of Puma’s selected high-end series in Taikoo Li, Sanlitun, the capital.
There are currently only three Puma Black Label stores in the entire Dragon Kingdom.
It is said to be an event, but in fact it means showing off personal skills and interacting with fans on an officially built stage.
Puma officials announced Martin's participation in the event more than half a month ago.
So Sanlitun was crowded that day.
Playing freestyle football is nothing to Martin now, but signing autographs and taking photos is a bit useless.
After two or three hours, my right hand and facial muscles almost cramped from smiling continuously.
But seeing the satisfied fans made him happy.
※※※※※
The Centenary America's Cup held in Sam's country took the lead in kicking off at Reeves Stadium in San Francisco. The host country's Sam's country lost to Colombia 0:2.
The focus that received the most attention was undoubtedly the rematch of the 44th America's Cup final held in Chile last year. With Di Maria and Banega's cross-court shooting, they defeated Chile 2:1 and successfully took revenge.
By this time, Martin had already boarded a flight to Longdongbao International Airport.
Since this trip was private and not open to the public, it did not receive any attention.
At the domestic arrivals gate of the airport, he saw a middle-aged man with a Chinese character in Chinese characters holding a placard "Ding Ge" from a distance.
(Considering that the protagonist is currently single, finding a female assistant can easily lead to misunderstandings. It’s just to pave the way for some non-football details, so don’t pay too much attention.)
This... is the assistant he directly hired in Persia, with a very popular name, Li Zhuo.
He is very familiar with Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, especially in remote mountainous areas, and his academic qualifications are also very good. He is a top student majoring in finance at the Double First-class Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
According to what Martin learned, he returned to his hometown in Rongjiang, Guizhou, five years ago to take care of the elderly at home and quit his job at Red Mountain Capital. The old man went west half a year ago, but it was very difficult to find a job compared to what he had back then.
After all, I had been away from the rapidly developing society for five years, and I was already 36 years old. Even if my salary requirements were reduced and reduced, I still couldn’t find a suitable job until Martin (Ma Jia) released the recruitment information.
"boss?"
The middle-aged man with Chinese character face asked tentatively when he saw the young man with a mask mentioned on WeChat.
Martin nodded lightly, looked at the domestic arrival gate with a lot of people, and said: "This is not the place to talk. It's almost lunch time, so we can find a place to chat again."
"Okay, boss."
More than half an hour later, Li Zhuo drove Martin in his BYD to a relatively high-end restaurant in the center of Qianyang.
As soon as he arrived in the private room, Li Zhuo respectfully handed a stack of documents in his briefcase to Martin sitting opposite: "This is the information I have compiled in these days."
Martin took the thicker document and read it carefully.
Recorded in it are the addresses and related photos of primary schools in remote mountainous areas of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan that are in urgent need of hardware upgrades. There are also special notes on field trips and picture sources, which made you nod your head.
Whether there was any specific on-the-spot investigation is unknown, but...it sums up well.
It is easy to see that this middle-aged man named Li Zhuo works very hard.
But he also had a little scheming idea. The first school he checked was the mountain primary school in his hometown.
But when it comes to doing good deeds, you can help wherever there is real need.
"good."
"Boss, please forgive me for asking, can you tell me the real reason why you do these good things?"
Li Zhuo has been out of society for almost five years, but he is not stupid.
"Huh? Now that my pockets are bulging, I want to help a group of people in need and make a small contribution to the development of the motherland."
After Martin finished speaking, he saw the other person's expression of disbelief. He shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do if you don't believe it."
"Then can I ask the boss what you do for a living?"
The implication is obvious. He was able to spend millions of dragon coins to do good deeds at a young age in the early stages. Could it be to atone for his sins?
"Uh, did you watch the news at all?"
Martin was speechless.
"News? Watch the news broadcast every day."
"Then you don't know me?"
"Uh, boss...are you famous?"
Li Zhuo scratched the back of his head: "That shouldn't be the case. Why don't I have any impression?"
"Do you like watching football?"
"have not seen."
After hearing this, Martin gave an expression like this: "You search my name a thousand times. If nothing else happens, I will be ranked first in the search."
"it is good."
Li Zhuo also acted vigorously and immediately took out the old-fashioned Fruit 4 mobile phone search.
Half a minute later, he compared the photos he found with Qiandu to the boss in front of him and exclaimed: "Go ahead, boss, are you so awesome?"
"Generally average."
Martin raised his head proudly.
Li Zhuo originally just wanted to give it a try, but unexpectedly he hugged an extremely thick thigh.
Then, he had endless admiration for the boss in front of him who had become a big star at a young age.
No wonder he has achieved so much under the age of 20.
Although he doesn't like watching football, he still has a superficial understanding of the domestic football environment in Dragon Kingdom.
Living in the era of mobile Internet, topics with relatively large traffic will be somewhat paid attention to, but the direction of attention will not be expanded just because of interest.
"Then...boss, do you want to do it in your own name?"
Li Zhuo asked after eating and drinking.
He thought that the boss in front of him should have other industries.
"In my own name, if you have any questions, you can come to me directly, but there is no need to make any announcement, keep a low profile."
Martin pondered for a moment and said: "The other thing is that the ugly words are ahead. Everything must be implemented strictly in accordance with my requirements."
"Don't worry, boss, I will record every expense and I will never let you down, boss."
Li Zhuo said with a serious face.
"Okay, if you can do everything I told you, I will give you a big red envelope at the end of the year."
"thank you boss."
……
The first stop for Martin and Li Zhuo was a primary school in a town in Rongjiang, Li Zhuo's remote hometown.
Martin sighed when he saw a dozen students in shabby clothes still attending school in an old house built in the 50s.
The conditions are terrible.
At first glance, the teaching building gives you the impression of a dilapidated building.
"The house must be rebuilt. It's too dangerous, and..."
Li Zhuo listened and took notes with a pen. He waited until Martin finished speaking before nodding solemnly: "Okay, boss."
"I like you."
Martin patted Li Zhuo on the shoulder and from the corner of his eye saw a child playing ball on the old basketball court in front of the teaching building.
He looked up and saw that it was a thin child playing a basketball that had already been wrapped up. His feet were bouncing in an orderly manner. He couldn't help but walked over, but he didn't bother him.
Maybe the child noticed someone coming over. As soon as his attention was distracted, he lost control of the basketball he was holding. He kicked it twice and still fell down, landing at Martin's feet.
Martin stepped on the still dilapidated basketball: "Little brother, you feel good about the ball."
"That's it~"
The child scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said in broken dragon language: "Brother, please kick the ball over for me."
Martin nodded lightly, pulled the ball back with his right foot, and the unwrapped basketball 'jumped' along with the instep, and then quickly knocked the football to about two meters with his heel.
"Wow~"
The child's eyes gleamed and he exclaimed.
Forehead, two shoulders, chest, left and right thighs, instep, inside of foot, outside of foot...
All the parts that can effectively touch the ball bounce the ball in a cycle without repetition, which directly stuns the children.
On the second floor of the teaching building, there was an uncle who was stunned for a moment and muttered in a low voice: "I'm here with Xiao Zhuozi. It happens that there are few people in the Meicheng Village Super Group Competition tomorrow. I'll ask if I can help later." Play a game?"
(PS: For the convenience of reading, all are in standard Mandarin.)
When Martin stepped on the ball on the sole of his right foot, the child asked: "Brother, you are so good, have you ever participated in the American Country Premier League?"
"What? You have a football match here?"
"Yeah, it started last year. This year is the second one. I will go and cheer you up then?"
"Me? Didn't participate..."
Martin suddenly remembered something.
Rongjiang County, Village Super League.
Could it be... that he was the village super who became popular all over the country in later generations?

More than half an hour later, Li Zhuo drove Martin in his BYD to a relatively high-end restaurant in the center of Qianyang.
As soon as he arrived in the private room, Li Zhuo respectfully handed a stack of documents in his briefcase to Martin sitting opposite: "This is the information I have compiled in these days."
Martin took the thicker document and read it carefully.
Recorded in it are the addresses and related photos of primary schools in remote mountainous areas of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan that are in urgent need of hardware upgrades. There are also special notes on field trips and picture sources, which made you nod your head.
Whether there was any specific on-the-spot investigation is unknown, but...it sums up well.
It is easy to see that this middle-aged man named Li Zhuo works very hard.
But he also had a little scheming idea. The first school he checked was the mountain primary school in his hometown.
But when it comes to doing good deeds, you can help wherever there is real need.
"good."
"Boss, please forgive me for asking, can you tell me the real reason why you do these good things?"
Li Zhuo has been out of society for almost five years, but he is not stupid.
"Huh? Now that my pockets are bulging, I want to help a group of people in need and make a small contribution to the development of the motherland."
After Martin finished speaking, he saw the other person's expression of disbelief. He shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do if you don't believe it."
"Then can I ask the boss what you do for a living?"
The implication is obvious. He was able to spend millions of dragon coins to do good deeds at a young age in the early stages. Could it be to atone for his sins?
"Uh, did you watch the news at all?"
Martin was speechless.
"News? Watch the news broadcast every day."
"Then you don't know me?"
"Uh, boss...are you famous?"
Li Zhuo scratched the back of his head: "That shouldn't be the case. Why don't I have any impression?"
"Do you like watching football?"
"have not seen."
After hearing this, Martin gave an expression like this: "You search my name a thousand times. If nothing else happens, I will be ranked first in the search."
"it is good."
Li Zhuo also acted vigorously and immediately took out the old-fashioned Fruit 4 mobile phone search.
Half a minute later, he compared the photos he found with Qiandu to the boss in front of him and exclaimed: "Go ahead, boss, are you so awesome?"
"Generally average."
Martin raised his head proudly.
Li Zhuo originally just wanted to give it a try, but unexpectedly he hugged an extremely thick thigh.
Then, he had endless admiration for the boss in front of him who had become a big star at a young age.
No wonder he has achieved so much under the age of 20.
Although he doesn't like watching football, he still has a superficial understanding of the domestic football environment in Dragon Kingdom.
Living in the era of mobile Internet, topics with relatively large traffic will be somewhat paid attention to, but the direction of attention will not be expanded just because of interest.
"Then...boss, do you want to do it in your own name?"
Li Zhuo asked after eating and drinking.
He thought that the boss in front of him should have other industries.
"In my own name, if you have any questions, you can come to me directly, but there is no need to make any announcement, keep a low profile."
Martin pondered for a moment and said: "The other thing is that the ugly words are ahead. Everything must be implemented strictly in accordance with my requirements."
"Don't worry, boss, I will record every expense and I will never let you down, boss."
Li Zhuo said with a serious face.
"Okay, if you can do everything I told you, I will give you a big red envelope at the end of the year."
"thank you boss."
……
The first stop for Martin and Li Zhuo was a primary school in a town in Rongjiang, Li Zhuo's remote hometown.
Martin sighed when he saw a dozen students in shabby clothes still attending school in an old house built in the 50s.
The conditions are terrible.
At first glance, the teaching building gives you the impression of a dilapidated building.
"The house must be rebuilt. It's too dangerous, and..."
Li Zhuo listened and took notes with a pen. He waited until Martin finished speaking before nodding solemnly: "Okay, boss."
"I like you."
Martin patted Li Zhuo on the shoulder and from the corner of his eye saw a child playing ball on the old basketball court in front of the teaching building.
He looked up and saw that it was a thin child playing a basketball that had already been wrapped up. His feet were bouncing in an orderly manner. He couldn't help but walked over, but he didn't bother him.
Maybe the child noticed someone coming over. As soon as his attention was distracted, he lost control of the basketball he was holding. He kicked it twice and still fell down, landing at Martin's feet.
Martin stepped on the still dilapidated basketball: "Little brother, you feel good about the ball."
"That's it~"
The child scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said in broken dragon language: "Brother, please kick the ball over for me."
Martin nodded lightly, pulled the ball back with his right foot, and the unwrapped basketball 'jumped' along with the instep, and then quickly knocked the football to about two meters with his heel.
"Wow~"
The child's eyes gleamed and he exclaimed.
Forehead, two shoulders, chest, left and right thighs, instep, inside of foot, outside of foot...
All the parts that can effectively touch the ball bounce the ball in a cycle without repetition, which directly stuns the children.
On the second floor of the teaching building, there was an uncle who was stunned for a moment and muttered in a low voice: "I'm here with Xiao Zhuozi. It happens that there are few people in the Meicheng Village Super Group Competition tomorrow. I'll ask if I can help later." Play a game?"
(PS: For the convenience of reading, all are in standard Mandarin.)
When Martin stepped on the ball on the sole of his right foot, the child asked: "Brother, you are so good, have you ever participated in the American Country Premier League?"
"What? You have a football match here?"
"Yeah, it started last year. This year is the second one. I will go and cheer you up then?"
"Me? Didn't participate..."
Martin suddenly remembered something.
Rongjiang County, Village Super League.
Could it be... that he was the village super who became popular all over the country in later generations?
