Football nukes: a pound buys a club

Zhang Chong knew that starting a club would cost money, but he didn't expect it to cost so much.

After investing 200 million pounds, he wanted the club to be responsible for its own profits and losses, but it is clear that this budget is not enough to buy players by itself.

For that favorite player, he can only invest another 100 million pounds.

After investing the 100 million in the club, his net worth is only more than 100 million pounds.

By the way, there are also 50 pounds of bitcoins-of course this guy doesn't know that bitcoins have risen eightfold at this time.

Fortunately, the 2014 World Cup is about to start, and he can rely on the World Cup to heal his blood.After all, at this World Cup, one of the most exaggerated tragedies in history occurred.

But before the start of the World Cup, he needs to find a little fresh meat.

This little fresh meat is named Jarrod Bowen, and he is still dissatisfied now. He is a player who can play both right winger and midfielder.

In the time and space that Zhang Chong traveled through, he was already the absolute main force of the Premier League powerhouse West Ham United, a member of the best Premier League team for the 2021-2022 season, and was selected for the England national team.

But now, his situation is not very good.

Because Hereford United where he is currently planning to close the youth academy.

This is a team in the English National League. Because the scope of his selection was eroded by teams such as the Premier League, their youth training camp was unsustainable and had to be closed.

And now Bowen Jr. is a victim of the closure of the youth academy, and he will have no ball to play.

Moreover, Hereford United will also be deprived of their qualifications for next season's England National League.

Historically, it was precisely because of the chaos at Hereford United that Jarrod Bowen would join Hull City for free.After two years in Hull City's youth team, he began to make his mark and has skyrocketed ever since.

Therefore, Zhang Chong wanted to grab Jarrod Bowen before Hull City.

During this trip, he called his dear Director Weller again.

Hereford United is located in Herefordshire, West Midlands, England, close to Wales.

The two came here and arrived at the gate of the Hereford United Club with ease.

The players were already on vacation at this time, so the two went directly to the club office building to express their intentions.

Colin Addison, general manager of Hereford United, received them.

Zhang Chong didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Mr. Addison, we are here this time because we are more interested in some players of your youth team. I would like to ask you to agree to let them come to our club for trial training."

He didn't directly say Jarrod Bowen's name, for fear that the other party would raise the price.

Colin Addison pretended to sigh, wondering why: "This... Chairman Zhang, you know, the players are all on vacation, and it is impossible for us to call them up for no reason..."

Zhang Chong smiled: "Mr. Addison, in fact, we have known about your club's situation for a long time. In this trial training, I get players, you get profits, and mutual benefits. Don't worry, if there are players signed, we should have youth training. The compensation fee will not be less.”

Addison then laughed: "Chairman Zhang is a cheerful person. All right, I'll go and gather them together."

More than an hour later, the players from the youth training camp stood on the training ground.

They whispered to each other, wondering what the hell was going on with a youth academy that was about to close.

Just then, Zhang Chong, Weller and Addison came over.

The young players seemed to have guessed something when they first saw the stranger, and the dissatisfaction in their hearts immediately turned into joy.

Is this someone coming to buy us?

Addison took out the players' information and introduced the basic abilities and characteristics of these players to Zhang Chong.

In fact, he also wanted to sell all the players of the youth team as soon as possible, which could be regarded as an explanation for their future.

Zhang Chong also took the opportunity to notice Jarrod Bowen in the team.

In his previous life, he often saw Jarrod Bowen in the Premier League broadcasts, but now he suddenly saw his youth version, and suddenly felt a little funny.

Although he has seen Mendy, Kanter, Klaus and Mesias in the broadcast before, they are not much different from when they were young, especially Mendy and Kanter, they are simply from the past. From small black to big.

And Jarrod Bowen's hair is still relatively luxuriant at this time, which is completely different from him eight years later...

It has to be said that the strange men in England have one thing in common, that is, their hair will always stay away from them prematurely...

But he continued to listen to Addison's introduction calmly, taking the opportunity to check the potential of others.

After all, even though he was going for Bowen, what if there are still talented players here?

However, to his disappointment, apart from Bowen's potential of 157, no one has the potential worth looking at.

He pretended to listen to Addison's introduction, and then said to Addison: "Mr. Addison, I want to choose a few people to try out."

Addison didn't make things difficult for them either: "Go ahead, and if you see something suitable, take it back for trial training."

Zhang Chong made a pretentious tour, and eventually, including Bowen, selected five players to come to Bury for trial training.

Except for Bowen, others belong to the interference term.

Even the trial training itself is a huge distraction.

He just wanted to sign Bowen.

On the fifth day of the players' workouts, Weller contacted Addison and expressed his desire to sign Bowen.

Addison vaguely remembered that this was a member of the five-person trial team, but he didn't think there was anything special, so he readily agreed.

And Hereford County will also receive £15 in youth training compensation.

Two days later, in a peaceful environment, the two parties signed the contract.

Weller had a good laugh, and it all went off without a hitch, and at a smaller cost than expected.

Addison smiled broadly.After all, for Hereford United, this is not a small income.

Of course, years later, Addison would look back on that day as one of the blemishes on his life.

Weller knew Zhang Chong's plan from the beginning to the end, and seeing his plan succeed, he couldn't help giving him a thumbs up secretly.

This oriental man really has a big trick!

At the end of the trial training period, Bowen successfully signed the contract, while the other four young players had to go home.

But Zhang Chong felt a little sorry, after all, he still used them and gave them a false hope.

So when he said goodbye to them, he secretly stuffed an envelope in their backpack.

Inside the envelope was a letter and ten thousand pounds.

In Zhang Chong's personal name.

The letter said: "Thank you for your willingness to come to our club for trial training, and thank you for your hard work in the past seven days. I wish you a bright future and smooth sailing. Zhang Chong."
