Chapter 229 Be careful, young man
After the game against Kunyang City, the entire Shining Star team did not stay in the away game. They took the high-speed train directly from Kunyang City to the neighboring Shanhai City to catch a plane. After a collective dinner at the high-speed rail station, they entered the airport. Check in and wait to board your flight.
On the plane ride back, the teammates were in high spirits and almost everyone was happy.
Hu Lai can understand everyone's excitement about winning again after two games without a win, but are everyone a little too excited?
Wang Guangwei's words suddenly made Hu Lai realize:
"There are winning bonuses after winning! Everyone who plays in the game can receive bonuses of varying amounts based on playing time and contribution, even substitute players..."
The professional contract Hu Lai signed with Flash Star only included a goal award and did not stipulate a winning award.
Because winning prizes have many restrictions. For example, if you want to be selected into the squad for winning a game, and then if you play in this game, you will also get different bonus amounts based on the time you played. Secondly, if you score goals and assists in the game, you will get different amounts. The bonus will also be slightly more.
For example, Hu Lai, even if he comes on as a substitute, but because he scored a goal in the game, and it was the only goal and the winning goal, the bonus he can get should be the same as that of the starting player.
The specific bonus amount is not fixed and will be adjusted by the club as the season progresses. For example, if the end of the season is approaching and the goal is to avoid relegation, the winning bonus will definitely be higher at the beginning or mid-season.
The Football Association also has special new regulations for club winning bonuses at all levels of leagues. The regulations for the Chinese League One are that the maximum winning bonus for a single game cannot exceed 1 million, and the average bonus for all games cannot exceed 300,000 per game.
When Hu Lai heard that there was a winning prize, he quickly asked: "Then what is the winning prize for our team?"
He has only been at the club for a week and a half, and he didn't even make the roster for the last game. Naturally, he doesn't know the specific bonus amount.
Wang Guangwei said to Hu Lai: "Because of the need to avoid relegation, the club temporarily increased the winning bonus. It used to be 200,000 per game, but now it is 300,000 per game."
Compared with the average bonus of one million Chinese Super League clubs, Flash Star’s winning prize is much shabby. But the league levels are different, and the financial resources of the clubs are also different. Three hundred thousand is already pretty good.
There are a total of eighteen people in the entire competition roster. If divided equally, each person will have a bonus of about 16,000.
For some players, the bonus for just one game is more than their monthly salary... Yes, I'm talking about Hu Lai.
Hu Lai quickly calculated in his mind, the smile on his face became brighter, and he fully understood why everyone was so enthusiastic about him in the locker room after the game...
Because of his goal, he helped them earn a bonus of 300,000 yuan!
Hu Lai's own goal bonus is not much, only a thousand yuan for every goal scored, and this is what Hu Lai insisted on fighting for himself: He didn't worry too much about other conditions, only this goal award, He hopes that the club will add it to his contract, paying him 1,000 yuan per ball.
Regarding the goal award, not every club will set it up. After all, players may be encouraged to be selfish and only want to shoot the ball instead of passing the ball. But in the case of Hu Lai, the club did not insist on its own opinions. After all, this person transferred as a youth team player, and he doesn’t even know if he can play. He insists on adding a goal award. Even if he is rewarded with 10,000 yuan for each goal, what is the point?
If you can't play and can't score, such a goal award is meaningless.
Since the player doesn't care about other aspects of power, just for such a goal award, then simply give it to him and let him enjoy the pie he was given.
This is the club's idea. Hu Lai's current idea is that the goal award he wants is too little... If he had known that he wanted a goal award of 5,000, it would be great!
One goal cost 5,000 yuan. If he scored ten goals, wouldn't he be able to pay back the 50,000 yuan he owed Fatty Song? If he scores seventy more goals, he can even pay off the 350,000 school selection fee that his family borrowed to send him to Dongchuan Middle School...
Thinking about it now, I still don’t have enough confidence in myself... I didn’t expect that my first appearance would come so quickly, and my first goal would come so quickly!
Next time we talk about a contract, I will definitely open my mouth!

While the players were elated about winning the game and getting three points and winning bonuses, Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo were also happy about the team's victory and Hu Lai's performance.
"I really didn't expect this kid Hu Lai to score goals when he came on the field. This kid has improved so fast..."
Zhao Kangming said with a smile: "I think this guy can give us more surprises in the future."
"To be honest, Lao Zhao. I used to have a 'benefactor' mentality. I always felt that we helped Hu Lai. But now I feel that maybe Hu Lai helped us, but not necessarily..." Chen Mo After sighing with emotion, he asked Zhao Kangming: "Will Hu Lai start the next game?"
Zhao Kangming shook his head: "No, let Lai Zekai start, and then let Hu Lai play according to the situation. Hu Lai is talented and capable. As his coach, we should not only focus on short-term interests, but also pay attention to his long-term development. We We need to make his path as smooth as possible so that it won’t be so strenuous for him to walk. Otherwise, why would we bring him here from Poseidon?”
Chen Mo nodded and agreed with Zhao Kangming's approach.
He looked back at the players in the cabin with a smile on his face: "It seems like I haven't seen everyone so happy for a long time... But in fact, we just didn't win in two rounds."

Chen Jianyu was sitting in the back row of the cabin. As a reporter accompanying the team, of course he had to go to the away game with the team and return to Jincheng together.
There were other passengers sitting around him, including fans of the away team traveling with the team and ordinary tourists.
Flash Star is not rich enough to charter flights to play away games. Not to mention Flash Star, even in the Chinese Super League, few teams can afford charter flights.
It was actually almost twelve o'clock in the evening, and many passengers in the cabin couldn't resist the attack of fatigue and fell asleep.
But in the front half of the cabin, the chatter and laughter of the players still occasionally reached Chen Jianyu through the roar of the plane - in fact, Chen Jianyu followed the team on their travels and traveled here and there, and he often sat here. The flight to Jincheng took place late at night. There have been many such flights this season, and players will soon fall asleep on the plane, just like ordinary passengers. There aren't many times when I can be as excited as I am today.
Although this somewhat disturbed other fellow passengers, Chen Jianyu could understand it completely. After all, today's victory was too timely for today's Flash Star.
All three teams in the relegation zone did not win today. Two lost and one drew. Flashstar's victory helped them stay away from the relegation zone, which is beneficial to the team's relegation.
After winning this game, Flash Star's league ranking suddenly jumped from 14th in the previous round to 12th. It is also because this game is a duel between two teams with adjacent rankings, so the Flash Star's victory over Kunyang City not only gave itself an extra three points, but also allowed its opponent to lose three points. In this way, it is A win worth six points.
He used the time when he was flying back to Jincheng from Shanhai to seize the time to write the manuscript on the plane.
This manuscript will appear in the morning paper tomorrow morning, so it must be submitted for review and typesetting later in the night. It will be sent to the printing factory early tomorrow morning, and then when the vast majority of citizens have not yet woken up from their sleep, it will be published. Bundles of newspapers exuding the scent of ink The paper will be pulled by trucks from the printing factory to the door of the newspaper office, and then handed over to the delivery people at various outlets...Through these capillaries, the general public will eventually be able to buy a newspaper when they go to work. You can see the good news that Flashing Star finally won.
Although he is a reporter for the Anton TV Sports Channel column group, he also contributes articles to local newspapers.
In addition to game reports, he also writes reporters' notes, which can be regarded as a kind of commentary article.
The game report has been written long ago, it is just an objective retelling of the game progress.
Journalists' notes or on-site watching diaries are different. They look at the game from their own first-person perspective and include a lot of subjective thoughts. How do they view the victory of the Flash Stars and their own feelings about the Flash Stars? What are Xing’s prospects and expectations for the next games, what are his views on the performance of players and coaches...and so on.
He can pick out each of these things separately and choose a topic to write an article. It is not difficult for Chen Jianyu, a sports reporter himself.
The question is which topic to choose, and that is important.
From the high-speed train to the plane, he turned his laptop on and off, but there was not much content on the document.
He has been hesitating about one thing:
The theme of this issue should be about Hu Lai.
It stands to reason that for a newcomer to score a goal in his first league game, this is simply too topical. Writing it will definitely attract everyone's attention, so why should you hesitate?
Besides, if you don’t write about the only player who scored a goal in the game, what else do you want to write about?
But Chen Jianyu was worried that after writing this, he would bring huge attention to Hu Lai and also bring greater pressure.
Is this 19-year-old young player ready to become famous with one goal?
In his rich career as a reporter, he had seen many fleeting meteors, and he was not sure whether Hu Lai would be one of those meteors that streaked across the sky, flashed briefly and then disappeared.
In the past, every time a genius appeared in Chinese football, the media swarmed him like a shark smelling blood. All kinds of reputations are as if they are free of money, and they are desperately trying to slap on the heads of talented players. "The hope of Chinese football" is the most common description. It seems that as long as Chinese football has such a genius, it can break out of Asia and go global and become a world-class team.
After the players became famous and attracted more attention. They began to hype every controversial point of the players again and continued to attract attention.
As for what this will bring to the players themselves, they don't care, and even regard themselves as "defenders of Chinese football".
They are the ones who hype that Chinese players are comparable to world stars, and they are the ones who call Chinese players "killed for nothing". They are the ones who say that a certain player is what Chinese football hopes for, and they are also the ones who scold the same player for bringing shame to Chinese football...
In short, they hold the power of public opinion. They repeatedly jump between taking Chinese football to the clouds and sending it into hell. They guide the emotions of fans and determine the life and death of players.
Wasn't that what Zhang Qinghuan was back then? With the help of the media, how glorious it was when it debuted, how infamous it is now...
Chen Jianyu doesn't want to get along with this kind of media people, nor is he willing to use his own power to forcefully create stars.
Hu Lai's debut performance in the league was indeed perfect, but the more it went like this, the more Chen Jianyu felt that he needed to be more cautious. He didn't want to watch the genius collapse after creating a drama with his own hands.
After thinking about it, Chen Jianyu decided to write about Hu Lai, but he had to pay attention to controlling his emotions and not be too inflammatory. He tried to stay calm and peaceful, even slightly cold. This style of writing would make his article appear more advanced. , and at the same time, he believes that this can be regarded as a kind of protection for young people like Hu Lai.
After clarifying his thoughts, Chen Jianyu started typing on the laptop keyboard with flying fingers.
When the cabin announcement reminds passengers that there is still half an hour before descent, and asks passengers to turn off the power of laptops and other electronic devices, or put their mobile phones into airplane mode, the cabin lights are also dimmed.
Only then did Chen Jianyu type the last few words on the laptop keyboard.
"... Hu Lai jumped high and then fell, turning 180 degrees in the air, just in time to show the number and name on the back of his jersey in the camera lens. It was like a declaration, he couldn't wait to get it Let everyone know him and know his name. Every young man who enters professional football dreams of becoming famous with one goal, but he must be careful. Young people may seem to be favored and gifted by fate, but they are actually already there. The price was set secretly.”
After quickly scanning the last paragraph of his article and seeing that there were no typos, he pressed the save button with satisfaction. (End of chapter)
