"If you don't want to, then... I won't sell you to anyone, ever."

"Then... I don't want to."

Carl said the words that all players dream of, and the Phantom Son also gave an affirmative answer, and then each showed a tacit smile to each other.

The sweet fruit and vegetable porridge cooked by Yue Yihuang moved Karl, and gave the Jew, who was exhausted before the long air journey, a little relief.He chose to rest for a while at the home of No. 11 of the Torino team.Perhaps, enough sleep can make his brain clear again, and he can devote himself to the intense work again.

For Karl, what he will face next is a tough battle that cannot tolerate any mistakes.

Torino made it to the last [-] of the UEFA Champions League for the first time when they beat Barcelona in the first leg.No matter where they end up in this European Championship, it is enough for the world's top ten clubs to take notice of this club.It is very likely that this summer, as the owner of the club, Karl will usher in a cold winter.A winter in which the players of the concerned club are likely to be divided up by the rich clubs.

However, the property under his own name just happened to be caught in a game of dividing and being divided...

It is undeniable that he has borne an extremely heavy burden and pressure in the past six months.Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he wanted to see each other so much today.

Although the Phantom Son himself didn't notice it, there is indeed a calming power in him that can make people forget their troubles and anxiety.

Yue Yihuang took Carl to another bedroom in this villa, and then carefully pressed the corners of the bed for him, and closed the curtains that could block the intrusion of sunlight.When the sun was shining on him, casting a halo on his back, Karl called out his name out of nowhere.

Carl: "Yi Huang."

Yue Yihuang: "What?"

Carl: "Where will you be when I wake up?"

Yue Yihuang: "Maybe it's the study room. I'll study the game there."

Carl: "So, can you take all the contracts and materials I brought to your study?"

Yue Yihuang: "Of course."

When the winter dusk descended on the city of Turin, the young man who had finally had a peaceful sleep in the past few days finally opened his eyes.He changed into the home clothes Yue Yihuang had prepared for him, and then walked to the study.When he opened the door, the young Yingfeng was just as he said before, sitting on the sofa in the study, watching the football game being played on the TV screen connected to the computer.

He was so fascinated and so serious that he didn't even notice the entry of his own club owner until the other party came to him.

"In the 26th round of La Liga, Barcelona played away against Sevilla?"

Although what Yue Yihuang watched did not have the commentary of each TV station, but only the game version with the original sound of the scene.But when a person concentrates on doing one thing, he may not pay attention to the surrounding situation.Therefore, when Carl's voice rang in his ears, Yue Yihuang was taken aback.But when he realized what the other party had just said to him, he became excited again.

"You know that too? I mean...it's not a Serie A game."

"Yes, of course I do. You know I belong to the Torino team, don't I?"

After saying this, Carl walked to the desk in the study, and took out the top copy from the pile of materials and documents.Yue Yihuang, who saw this scene, of course also turned off the sound of the game.Anyway, he didn't need any sound when he was watching the game.And when he needs to think hard, silence may be a better state.

But before he can move on to the game, he still needs to make him a cup of coffee.

Then, time passed slowly in this silence.

Maybe there will be the sound of Carl flipping the paper, or the sound of a pen on paper.Of course, there is also the sound of Yue Yihuang pressing the mouse to replay from time to time.But everything seems so harmonious, which makes people feel the warmth not only brought by the heating pipe in this winter afternoon.

"Your agent Toure sent me a written request last month for the club to increase your share of jersey sales. He hopes that the club can give you a share of jersey sales. As for the ratio, he hopes that the club will increase your share of jersey sales. 10% of the team's profits."

Yue Yihuang was taken aback by the gentle and drizzle-like voice.Although he can be regarded as a child who grew up in Barcelona, ​​in some respects, Yue Yihuang is very oriental and very traditional.In his inherent concept, he did not propose to the club to increase the salary at all.

And the status of his friend with Karl made him feel more unnecessary.

If he plays well enough, the club will do it without him saying so.So why would he bother.

More importantly, the annual salary of 400 million euros is not high among the main players in the five major leagues, but it can already be regarded as a reasonable salary for the main players in the five major European leagues.

For Yue Yihuang, that was quite enough.

Perhaps as Castile knew him.This is a player who pays little attention to anything but playing football.Money is far less important to him than the sense of belonging and honor that the team can give him.What's more, due to the enthusiastic pursuit of him in the Chinese market, Yue Yihuang can always earn several times his salary in commercial endorsements, events, and commercial shooting expenses during the summer vacation.That is really a number that can almost be described as huge.

But what Yue Yihuang didn't expect was... all of that may not match the detail of hoping to increase the share of jersey sales in the near future.

Although he didn't say anything yet, it was so obvious that he refused to give him a salary increase, which really made Carl laugh.He suddenly... wants to tease this Yingfeng who is unusually simple in some aspects.

"Just as a club owner, what do you think of me, Yihuang?"

"Very good, impeccably perfect. I mean... I can't think of anything better for you."

"But you're wrong, maybe I'm a damn exploiter. You'll never imagine how much money I've made through you."

Indeed, the team is a business that is difficult for investors to make a real profit.However, Yue Yihuang, the most legendary Chinese player in modern football history, has created another miracle outside the arena.

Before Karl took over the Turin team, this team with many die-hard fans in Turin City could only sell 25 jerseys per year, and this figure is already available for such a second division team. Very good to describe.You know, the Roma team's jersey sales in a year can't reach this figure.However, since Yue Yihuang joined, everything has changed.

What does it mean to sell 550 jerseys a year?This means that even if the profits of manufacturers and jersey sponsors are removed, and only 20% of the profits of jersey sales can be obtained in the end, the Turin team can also earn 1.3 million euros in this year.Among the 550 million jerseys, 350 million are Torino home and away jerseys with Yue Yihuang's name on them.However, in the contract Yue Yihuang signed with the Turin team, there are no detailed rules related to this convenience at all.This also means that he can't get a penny of the 1.3 million euros for the 350 million euros and 11 million Torino No. 8400 jerseys.

So, did Toure really not expect such a thing before?

Of course not, it's just that he chose to propose it at this time.Because the Turin team has been impossible to refuse his request.

8400% of the 10 million euros will now be twice the salary of Yue Yihuang.However, as the Turin team and Yue Yihuang grow together, no one can guess how much this number will eventually rise to.

Perhaps in the near future, because of this income, Yue Yihuang will surpass his teammate, Prince Francisco of Turin, in terms of annual income.

Toure chose Yue Yihuang when he was still unknown, and his vision began to show at this time.

His pedigree will one day turn from his disadvantage to his advantage.

Yue Yihuang: "So... if you pass Toure's request, I can get an extra 840 million in income every year...?"

Carl: "No, to be precise, you can get the money according to the team's jersey sales this year. But because this year's jersey sales have passed more than half, the payment of the jersey sales share in this contract has to come from Effective next season."

Seeing Yue Yihuang stunned, Carl couldn't help laughing.He asked Yue Yihuang, do you think I just earned this from you?No, you are wrong.The team makes more money from you than any other player, including Francisco.

According to Francisco's market value, he can earn 500 million euros in advertising fees a year.After his move to Torino, his advertised value dropped, but he couldn't fall below €50.And the team owns 750% of his portrait rights, which is 1300 million euros.The Turin team gave Francisco a salary of 41 million euros. If the 1833% tax is included, the Turin team needs to pay him [-] million euros a year.But if you count his star effect, the Turin team's return on Francisco's body is still greater than the expenditure.

But Yue Yihuang, the Asian player who was originally purchased by the Turin team with a transfer fee of 100 million euros, has become a person who has brought terrible benefits to the team.

Because of his rapid rise in European football as a rookie king, the irrational consumption from the Chinese market has allowed the Turin team to make a fortune in jersey income alone.

But even more terrifying than this is the TV rights.

In the sale of TV rights, Karl did not follow the traditional sales model of the rich clubs.

Compared with selling broadcast rights for ten years at once, selling broadcast rights year by year is obviously more able to maximize the interests of the Turin team.

Because Karl at the time firmly believed that the next ten years would be a decade in which the Turin team's status in international football would grow rapidly, and no one could have imagined what the Turin team could achieve.

And what happened afterwards has obviously verified Carl's original idea.

Moreover, relying on Yue Yihuang alone, he can attract [-] million a year broadcast rights in Asia for the Turin team.

That's why Karl said that the club that sold Yue Yihuang at such a low price back then was really the most stupid club.

As for Barcelona?A club executive who thought that Yue Yihuang could buy it back for just 800 million yuan is of course not very wise.Although Yue Yihuang's real worth as a player is indeed not much higher than this, but God knows that it is only one-tenth of the income he earns for the club every season.

Only fools would do it.

"So... what you told me earlier...?"

"Of course I didn't lie to you. I would never sell you to anyone if you didn't want to. But even if you wanted to..."

Facing Yue Yihuang's question again, Karl replaced the final answer with a smile.Immediately afterwards, he handed over a document agreeing to Toure's request to Yue Yihuang...
