From country team to giant

Chapter 25 Problem Characters in Salary Cuts
A little bit of time passed, and the German seventh-tier league has entered the third round.

Hoffenheim performed very well in the first three rounds,

Two wins and one tie, with seven points, still in the second position, which is the promotion zone.

There are only two promotion places in the seventh level, the first and second promotions, and the other teams have played for nothing for a season.

Therefore, all the teams that want to be promoted will compete for the first and second positions.

Today, the first place is occupied by a team called Fort Wayne. They have three wins in three games and nine points, leading the league.

And the second is Hoffenheim, with two wins and one tie in three games, 7 points.

No.3, the Baden Bulls, with one win, one draw and one loss in three games, with 4 points.

Horn Football Club, 4 games, [-] win, [-] draw and [-] loss, [-] points.

The two teams tied for third.

As for the Newster Warriors, who played against Hoffenheim in the first round, they had a bad start, and now they have lost three games in a row and have been reduced to the relegation zone.

This is not a small blow to them.

Of course, the league has only just begun, and none of this means anything.

For Hoffenheim, continuous and stable performance is the key.

Zhang Xian has not appeared on the court for a long time. Except for the first round of matches with the team, they sat in the office and were busy with their own affairs.

In fact, his job is not easy.

A lot of papers have to be signed every day, and at the same time worry about the club's financial problems.

Yes, the club is out of money again.

They desperately need a sponsorship.

Coincidentally, a 'vegetable' industry in the town of Sinsheim approached Hoffenheim.

This is an 'asparagus' business.

The Sinsheim region is famous for two things, one is asparagus and the other is red wine.

Red wine naturally looked down on them, but when the asparagus was in urgent need of domestic sales, they found Hoffenheim, a local team with good results recently and which can be seen in the newspapers.

Asparagus is known as the king of vegetables in Germany, which shows how much the Germans love it.

This time it was an individual 'asparagus' merchant from the Sinsheim area who approached Hoffenheim.

"They want to get our jersey cuff sponsorship, and offer a sponsorship price of 20 per year!"

Zhang Xian shook his head and said, "Too little, just increase the price by 50!"

"They probably won't agree."

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "Then drag them, I think they will agree in the end, and after this time, if we win a few games, then it won't be the price."

Mary nodded and closed the report sheet.

Zhang Xian continued to ask: "Recently, how has the salary reduction issue been resolved?"

Speaking of this, Mary was a little discouraged and said: "Most players have already agreed, and there is no problem for Morsi, after all, he has scored goals in these few games, and his income has increased a lot. Coupled with the club's various year-end bonus systems, this makes them not very resistant, but..."

Zhang Xian stopped the pen in his hand and slowly raised his head.

Seeing that, Mary struggled and said: "But Bach disagrees. He thinks that based on his performance, the club should give him a salary increase instead of a salary reduction."

"Oh?"

Zhang Xian put down his pen, crossed his hands on his stomach, and said with a smile, "He really thinks so?"

"Yes!" Mary said with a wry smile, "Besides, recently Bach and coach Koch have had a bad quarrel. They seem to have had a quarrel in the locker room."

Zhang Xian narrowed his eyes.

The club should know who is standing behind Koch now.

And Schneider Bach's move is not only to maintain the dominance of the locker room, but also to further influence the club.

Zhang Xian pondered for a moment and said, "How many times have you been in contact with him?"

Mary said: "Three times, but he didn't agree to a salary cut, even...even he was no longer so active in training."

After a pause, Mary struggled and said, "Zhang, I think we can give him special treatment, after all, he is a star player."

"No one is special!" Zhang Xian waved his hand and said bluntly: "Okay, you don't need to follow up on this matter, I will solve it myself."

Mary was taken aback, and she was a little panicked, after all, relying on Zhang Xian's means.

If he is personally responsible, it is likely to cause another huge turmoil for the club.

"open"

Just as Mary was about to speak, Zhang Xian waved his hand and interrupted: "Alright, I've already thought about how to solve this problem."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can guarantee that it won't cause any harm to the club."

Mary struggled again and again, and could only nod her head and said, "Okay then."

At the same time, Schneider Bach was invited by Zhang Xian after finishing his daily training.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the club's training ended, and Schneider Bach was invited to Zhang Xian's office.

Under Zhang Xian's arrangement, the two sat on chairs and prepared to 'negotiate'.

Zhang Xian stared at Bach, and Bach did not show any weakness.

This is a 28-year-old youth who has the highest popularity in the club. At the same time, he has enough means to hold down those ball bullies in the messy environment of last year.

Moreover, Bach's ability, or his ability to make money, has made Zhang Xian always have certain expectations for him.

But when he opposed the salary cut, it was necessary for Zhang to have a conversation with Schneider Bach.

"Sir, I don't feel that I did anything wrong."

Before Zhang Xian could speak, Bach took the lead.

Regarding this, Zhang Xian smiled and said, "Don't put yourself in the perspective of a victim to win sympathy. I know what you want to do, but I want to tell you one thing. Salary cuts are a government order. This requires everyone to agree, and there are no exceptions!"

Bach frowned slightly, and said: "I think my performance is enough for me to get this salary, and it can even be said that I get enough less."

Zhang Xian: "What performance?"

Without waiting for Bach to speak, Zhang Xian said directly: "Is it your performance of being invisible in a disadvantaged situation or engaging in locker room politics, letting the ball masters suppress newcomers, and then allow yourself to continue to enjoy a special status!"

Bach's heart skipped a beat, and he said stiffly, "I don't know, what are you talking about."

"Really!" Zhang Xian spread his hands and said, "I thought that those people I eliminated would make you furious, but I didn't expect you to be able to bear it. After all, strictly speaking, those people belong to you."

Bach pursed his lips, Zhang Xian's aggressive words made him not know how to respond.

"I know that what you want to do next is nothing more than gain sympathy, incite fans to fight against me as the club director, and even take strikes in the future to protest, but I suggest you not to do this."

Zhang Xian took out his mobile phone, called up a report, and handed it over.

This is a newspaper from last year.

"Pfister Bulls American Football Club sold their captain and head star for 1000 million euros! "

"That's the deal I made, of course it cost me my job, but I don't regret it."

Zhang Xian talked eloquently; "I sold this guy to my rival in the same city. The transaction was completed for 1000 million euros. I am very satisfied with this transaction. I think the fans of the First Bull Club will thank me in the future, so I sent away a cancer and a bug!"

Zhang Xian looked aggressively, and said, "He influenced my government order, so I sold him. In fact, if he was really powerful, then I would not make this choice, but he is the same type of person as you."

Bach pursed his lips and asked, "What kind of people?"

"He has no strength, but he is very good at messing up the team." Zhang Xian said bluntly.

This made Bach's eyes widen. He glared at Zhang Xian, and just about to speak, the latter said again:
"By the way, from the perspective of sabotage, you are not qualified at all. Because his rank is much higher than yours. He knows how to incite fans, how to control public opinion, and how to use his own fame to create a favorable situation for himself, but you have none of these. So, I don't recommend you to fight me, because that is a crushing situation."

"Star player?" Zhang Xian sneered, "Believe it or not, give me two months, and another star player will appear in Hoffenheim to take your place!"

"You have to remember that I am controlling public opinion, I am controlling this club, and most importantly, Koch and I can put you on the bench. So, the real situation is that you have nothing!"

Bach felt a little panic in his heart, but more of it was anger.

Hao is used to being domineering. After being threatened suddenly, he felt that his authority had been challenged.

Now that the two sides have already had a showdown, Bach didn't have to bear it any longer. He sneered and said, "You can try to see if Hoffenheim can win without me."

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "Don't want to adjust?"

Bach shook his head and said, "No adjustment!"

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "Then please wait and see."
