Chapter 196 Another identity of player Chu Zhongtian

Miranda had Chu Zhongtian's number on her phone, so when Chu Zhongtian called, she could tell who the phone was as soon as she looked at the screen of the phone. She was a little surprised because she didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to call her. Although they had phone numbers, they almost never talked directly. Although they were business partners, Chu Zhongtian either asked Emily to tell Miranda about business matters or her father. And if Miranda had something to let Chu Zhongtian know, she would choose to let her daughter or Chu Zhongtian's father lead the conversation.

Anyway, the two people just don't have direct contact. This sounds like an underground party joint or a mafia's self-protection measure.

Actually, it’s not, it’s just that one side looks down on the other side, while the other side is just to avoid embarrassment.

But this time, they have to get in touch directly.

Miranda hesitated for a moment and answered the phone. If this was really called by Chu Zhongtian, she thought she already knew what the purpose was.

Do you want to convince yourself to accept a son-in-law like him?

"Hello, Chu."

Although I was a little unhappy, I was quite polite.

"Hello, Ms. Miranda. I thought I would only get a 'heat'."

"I really want to do that, but that only makes me feel ungraceful."

"Thanks."

"Are you convinced me?"

"Uh, actually, it might be more appropriate to say that the invitation is... " Chu Zhongtian scratched his head. After Emily finished her work, she sat opposite him and watched him call his mother. Chu Zhongtian glanced at her. "Emily and I invited you to come to our wedding on June 6th."

"Why should I agree?" Miranda asked with a tense face.

"Because Emily is your daughter." Chu Zhongtian replied.

"Hmph, does she still think she is my daughter?" It would be fine if she didn't mention this, but Miranda became angry when she mentioned it. She worked hard to raise Emily until she became an adult, planning her future life, and sacrificing her lust, paving the way for her to be in Hollywood. She was so good that she wanted to fly when her wings were hard.

However, Chu Zhongtian wanted to mention this because this is the knot between mother and daughter. If you keep avoiding it, the problem will not be solved.

"Emily actually loves you very much, Ms. Miranda."

"I can't tell what she loves me."

Chu Zhongtian looked at Emily and smiled. He felt that Miranda's tone seemed to be angry no matter how she sounded.

"You love her very much, too?"

"Of course! I am her mother. If I don't love her, there are people in this world who love her!" As soon as Miranda said this, she was excited. She loved Emily so much, and planned everything for her in order not to hurt her. What will she get in the end? "You can't understand the kind of love I have for her!"

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian responded calmly: "I can understand."

"Ah?" Miranda was a little surprised to Chu Zhongtian's answer.

"My mother has planned everything for me like you. When I was very young, she asked me to learn painting after school. When I was playing football, I wanted me to go to school and take the college entrance exam. Later, when I was admitted to college and started playing football again, she was very opposed. There was also a very fierce quarrel between us. At that time, I even doubted whether I could be mother and son with my mother." Chu Zhongtian began to tell the story between himself and his mother.

"But now my relationship with my mother is very good. I dropped out of college and I still play football, and my mother agreed. She knew nothing more important than her children like. If I like playing football, it should be allowed. Of course, parents can plan their lives for their children, but at some times they still have to listen to their ideas, right? You have planned for Emily well in your career, and she also thanks you."

After saying that, he glanced at Emily.

Emily shrugged.

"But emotional matters cannot be planned in advance. I don't want to say how good I am. I just think if we like each other, why not? Is my job not decent enough? Am I not good enough? Am I physically disabled? I don't think so. Do you want your daughter to be happy?" Chu Zhongtian continued without waiting for Miranda to answer, "I think I can give her happiness."

As he said that, Chu Zhongtian reached out and grabbed Emily's hand and held her in the palm of his hand.

Emily smiled at him.

Chu Zhongtian said so much in one breath, and he didn't dare to pause too much, because he was afraid that Miranda would be impatient to interrupt him. Once this passage was interrupted, it would lose its persuasion and would be ineffective.

Fortunately, Miranda did not interrupt during the whole process except for making a sound with his nose occasionally, but listened to all his speeches very rarely. This was very rare in the process of two people's separate communication. In the past, whether it was Chu Zhongtian or Miranda, they said very little. If you ask, I will answer. If I ask, I will answer.

He said what he wanted to say, and then waited for Miranda to see what she would say.

But what he was waiting for was the busy tone of the phone - Miranda hung up the phone directly!

Seeing the shocked expression on Chu Zhongtian's face, Emily couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Uh...she hung up the phone..." Chu Zhongtian said with an awkward expression.

Emily curled her lips: "I knew it was this result. When I invited her to come, she died directly! Look, Chu. It's not that I don't want to have a good talk with my mother, but the result of a good talk is this. I think since my father left us, my mother has become more and more paranoid. She herself has lost confidence in love, so she has lost confidence in all the love in this world. We don't have to worry about her anymore, it's no big deal if she doesn't come at the wedding!"

The mother and daughter seemed to have a complete quarrel... But Chu Zhongtian sent a text message to Miranda privately, telling her the time and location of the wedding, and in the text message again sent an invitation to Miranda. Chu Zhongtian didn't know whether the stubborn Miranda would delete it without looking at it, but he always had to try it hard. Just like playing football, he thought about throwing in when facing a strong enemy. He never tried hard and never knew that he had the chance to defeat his opponent.

No matter what the final result is, he must first try to do it.

※※Two days later, Chu Zhongtian's parents flew from the United States to Germany to help Chu Zhongtian organize the wedding.

The wedding was set in the town of Fusen, Bavaria, Germany. Chuzhong Tianbao bought a huge sum of money to host the world-famous castle Neuschwanstein Castle for the wedding.

Chu Zhongtian spent three million euros on the rent for the two days and one night alone. The wedding dress Emily wore was worth 100,000 euros, and all the jewelry worn at the wedding was worth more than 500,000 euros.

All wedding expenses cost Chu Zhongtian in total. This is not a security fee. In order to avoid disturbing tourists, according to the contract, tourists are no longer allowed to approach the castle two days before the wedding. From this time until the end of the wedding, the guests leave, and the castle no longer welcomes tourists to the outside world.

In addition, Chu Zhongtian also spent 7 million euros on security, and the total cost of this wedding exceeded 10 million euros, reaching 14 million euros.

This expense also made Chu Zhongtian and Emily Stan's wedding become the most luxurious wedding in the world football world. Chu Zhongtian didn't expect this before. In fact, he was not trying to show off, but to give Emily the best wedding, because her parents may not be able to come. In order not to make Emily feel wronged, Chu Zhongtian spared no expense to make the beauty smile.

At the same time, unlike Beckham, Rooney, Totti and others who sold the broadcast rights of the wedding to the media to make money, Chu Zhongtian did not sell the reporting rights to any media for such a luxurious wedding. The main function of him hiring security for seven million euros was to deal with those omnipresent media paparazzi. After knowing that Chu Zhongtian had booked the wedding in Germany, the media went crazy because they knew that the wedding must be very luxurious, and there must be many guests present. The whole world is paying attention to the wedding of Chu Zhongtian and Emily. If they can report this matter, they will definitely double their sales!

At that time, "OK!" magazine spent nearly three million dollars to buy the exclusive shooting rights for the wedding of Beckham and Victoria. The first time they reported the wedding, the magazine sold nearly two million copies, and the sales of the magazine in that month were nearly five million copies. You should know that the sales of magazines in a month were only 500,000 or 600,000 copies in a month... With the success of "OK!" magazine, the players' right to report on their weddings naturally attracted much attention.

Later in 2008, Wayne Rooney and her girlfriend Colleen got married in southern Italy. OK! Magazine spent 2.5 million euros to buy exclusive reporting rights again. This special issue about Rooney’s marriage has as many as 7,000 pages!

But not everyone is willing to package their private lives as goods and sell them to the media for the public to appreciate them.

Chu Zhongtian is not short of money, and Emily doesn't like to let the media interfere too much in her private life, so their super wedding is destined to be out of reach with the media and curious audiences.

Chu Zhongtian did not nodded no matter how much the media offered. He only wanted to share this wedding with his friends and family. Apart from that, no one would want to know the inside story and details of the wedding. Of course, the news media that is only good at making trouble will shine as far as he can.

If you only make money by playing football, Chu Zhongtian would never have been able to hold such a luxurious wedding. But now that he is rich, Greater China Group has been listed in New York, Chu Zhongtian is now a boss with a net worth of 500 million euros. Playing football has become his "side business". From the perspective of making money, doing business brings him more wealth than playing football. Last year, Chu Zhongtian was on the list for the first time on the 2009 China Mainland Rich List released by Hurun, because his group

The company was just listed. At that time, his net worth was 300 million euros, which was about 2.8 billion yuan in RMB. He surpassed Yao Ming and became the youngest rich man from scratch. Yao Ming was 29 years old when he was on the list, with a net worth of 700 million yuan, and now he is 1 billion yuan. Chu Zhongtian was on the list at the age of 25 this year, greatly increasing this record by four years. It is estimated that for a long time, his record will be difficult to break.

Hurun’s list of rich Chinese mainland has not been released this year, but everyone thinks that Chu Zhongtian’s list has been on the list for two consecutive years is a foregone conclusion. The threshold for this list is one billion yuan, and Chu Zhongtian met the standard last year. This year, his company’s stock performance is good, so his net worth will only rise and not fall.

At that time, Chinese media joked that Chu Zhongtian's annual salary for playing football was only his pocket money, so when his teammates renewed contracts with the team and increased his annual salary, he was unmoved. The world football world is not short of agents who use their players and other teams to create scandals and threaten the club to increase their annual salary. Chu Zhongtian has never done such a thing because he doesn't even look down on that little money!

Everyone thinks that if the wealthy team wants to attract Chu Zhongtian to join, they can only tempt him from the team's status and honor. Relying on money? Chu Zhongtian is disdainful. His ability to play football at Hoffenheim with peace of mind is also related to this. He is not short of money. He does not need to abandon the small team for money to go to the big team. He only needs a place that can give him a core position and allows him to develop and realize his wishes with peace of mind, just like many head coaches. The simple and quiet Hoffenheim is obviously more complicated than those locker room factions, the grudges and hatreds of the club's senior executives are entangled, and the media focuses on wealthy families that never have peace of mind.

For him, playing football has really become pursuing his dreams, doing what he wants to do, making money? That was the original idea, but it is not now.

Most players lack the ability to manage their finances, and they need to rely on brokers. The consequence of this is that their financial power is controlled by brokers and they have become money trees and tools for brokers to make money. Some players also know some financial management knowledge, so purchasing real estate or investing in stocks has become their choice. However, real estate has already had very little room for appreciation in Europe. After the financial crisis, some places even experienced a significant depreciation. In the past, the luxury houses of several million were now ignored. Not to mention stocks, there is too much uncertainty. To invest in real estate, you still have to go to China. However, in China, the starting point is low and you make less money. Foreign consumption is also large. In fact, the profits are not enough. This investment is actually not enough, so it is not worth it. Besides, how many non-Chinese players are interested in investing in real estate in China?

There are also some players who have more financial management abilities and vision. They choose to cooperate with some well-known brands and launch trademarks named after their own names or numbers. However, there are not many players with the power to do this, usually just a few people at the top of the pyramid of the world football. And there is another problem with this. Once their careers begin to decline or simply retire, their brand will lose its value. Well-known sports brands can follow and cooperate with another star who is famous and popular today to launch a new sub-brand, but the players themselves have no room for such choices. So when Ronaldo gradually withdrew from mainstream football, his R9 series was naturally replaced by C. Ronaldo's cr7 and cr9. When Beckham went to the United States to make gold and bid farewell to the South African World Cup this season due to injury, his original brand with Adidas gradually disappeared.

Now Nike is planning to launch his personal sports brand with Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian's agent management team is evaluating the prospects of this cooperation. To be honest, now that Nike is going to talk to Chu Zhongtian, both sides are on par, and even Chu Zhongtian has a slight advantage. Chu Zhongtian does not expect Nike's annual sponsorship fee of more than one million yuan, but Nike is very eager to use Chu Zhongtian's huge influence in international football, especially in China. It is not wrong to say that Chu Zhongtian is "China's David Beckham" - he is young and rich, has a huge influence, and there is also a beautiful star girlfriend with a well-known entertainment industry, who is now going to upgrade to his wife... Nike is now grateful that they signed Chu Zhongtian, but did not let Puma and Adidas snatch it away.

You should know that the two professional teams Chu Zhongtian played for were sponsored by Puma. As the saying goes, the moon will be the first to get close to the water, Puma naturally has the hope of signing Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian is quite interested in cooperating with Nike to launch a sub-brand, because it means that his business kingdom can get an opportunity to expand his territory.

He has been doing catering before. Although chain giants like McDonald's and KFC are very powerful, Chu Zhongtian is not here. He hopes to try more fields. For example, the sports industry closely related to football has been entering because he plays football. In this process, he has developed and accumulated a lot of ideas related to this, and he hopes to be implemented. But how can an ordinary player put these ideas into practice? Now Nike is here, and this is an opportunity to enter the sports industry with the east wind of Nike, the world's sports manufacturing giant, and enter the sports industry, which can make him half the result with twice the effort.

But this is his idea, and the facts are not always consistent with the imagination. What are the risks and prospects of this cooperation? It still needs to be analyzed and evaluated in detail. Chu Zhongtian doesn't need to do this work. He raised a group of the most professional economic talents in Europe and the United States, and he did this.

He handed over all the talks and evaluations with Nike to his business team, and he himself focused on preparing for the wedding, which was the biggest event in his life.

Although his team has nothing this season, having a wedding and marrying someone he likes is a better harvest than all champions.
