The cake drawn by Armando Marcos was so big and so tempting that even the cautious Cantalero was so moved by him that he could not resist it.

It has been twelve years since Chinatown was established. According to Armando Marcos' plan, three years later, that is, fifteen years, it will undoubtedly be a miracle to create a European quasi-wealth team.

But just the fiscal revenue is catching up and the club's business operations keep up with the pace of wealthy families is far from enough.

"From now on, in the next few years, the salary structure of our club must be further strictly controlled, and must be kept at about 45%, and must not exceed 50%. This is the bottom line." Gao Han said loudly.

He has a strong premonition that players' salaries will increase significantly in the next few years, this is true for the Premier League and La Liga.

Chinatown’s salary expenditure can increase, but it must increase steadily, proportional to the increase in the club’s fiscal revenue. Otherwise, once you bear a heavy debt burden, Chinatown will fall into a quagmire of operation.

The closest thing is La Liga. When Barcelona won the Grand Slam in the 2008 to 2009, the club's salary accounted for nearly 70% of its fiscal revenue, which became the fuse for Laporta's fall. So much so that after Rossell came to power, he kept cutting his salary expenses, but even so, it remained at 55% last season.

Real Madrid is relatively the best. In the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, Real Madrid's salary accounted for 90% at the highest, which was simply a shocking number. Florentino later had to abandon blue-collar players, unable to meet Marklele's salary increase requirements, and let the French midfielder go away from Chelsea.

After learning from the pain, Real Madrid's salary proportion has been controlled at about 45%, which is undoubtedly a relatively reasonable number.

After Atletico Madrid's Grand Slam, due to the continuous increase in salary of many players, the club's salary once exceeded 60%. However, with players leaving the team in recent years, moving into new stadiums and increasing fiscal revenue, the salary of the bed sheet army has also been controlled between 50 and 55%. Although it is slightly higher, it is still controllable.

The same situation also happened to Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur, especially Tottenham Hotspur. This North London team has always been unremarkable, but its overall strength has been steadily improving, and its salary has always been controlled within 50%, even more reasonable than Arsenal's 56%.

But the most outrageous thing is Aston Villa, which is as high as 85%, and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Chinatown's current salary accounts for 48%, which is relatively good in La Liga or European football. However, the team has started a new round of contract renewal and salary increase. If the fiscal revenue cannot increase, it will definitely break 50% next, and then we can only continue to sell people.

Of course, if, as Armando Marcos said, commercial income can be increased to more than 200 million euros within three years, then the club's fiscal revenue will double than now, and the players' salary structure still has a lot of room for improvement, and the probability of retaining core players will be even greater.

The more core players you retain, the more competitive Chinatown will be, and the more hope you will have to challenge the status of the three giants in La Liga and many European teams, and even have the opportunity to compete for the championship trophy.

As the European Cup came to an end, the arms race between major teams began to burn in full swing.

Chelsea was the first to ignite the war. The Blues announced that they would introduce midfielder Oscar from Brazil at a high price of 35 million euros. The player scored a hat-trick in the previous World Youth Finals and was selected for the Brazilian national team after the World Youth Championship. He is known as the most promising midfielder rookie in the world.

Following Chelsea, Arsenal also announced that it had introduced Spanish midfielder Cazorla from Malaga for 20 million euros. The player performed well with Malaga last season and was very comprehensive, and was valued by Wenger.

Manchester United was also not willing to be outdone. After winning the Champions League last season, Ferguson was ambitious and hoped to have a more satisfactory result before retirement. So this summer, Manchester United took action again, introducing Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa from Dortmund for 25 million euros.

After South Korean player Park Ji-sung left Manchester United and left Queens Park Rangers, Manchester United's introduction of Shinji Kagawa was seen as a major positive for continuing to develop the Asian market.

However, what really shocked the entire European football world was the explosive news from the Portuguese Super League after major teams began pre-season training in mid-July. Saint Petersburg Zenit, a player in the Russian Super League, introduced Brazilian center Hulk from Porto at a sky-high price of 60 million euros.

This transfer quickly ignited the entire European football market, and everyone was shocked.

It would be too outrageous to introduce a player who has never proved his strength in the four major leagues with 60 million euros?

But immediately afterwards, the news came again, and the Belgian midfielder Witsel, who targeted Benfica, had a transfer fee of up to 45 million euros. This not only surprised everyone, but also surprised Gao Han, who had received the news earlier, because Mendes said it was 40 million euros before, so why did it increase by 5 million?

This is five million euros, which is considered to be fifty million yuan.

The entire European football world was shocked by the continuous attacks of the Russian tycoons, but was not surprised.

Russia, Ukraine and Turkey are all rich in the three major leagues. They attract many outstanding stars from European football and around the world every year. They can participate in the Champions League, and some can even enter the knockout round, and their strength is not bad.

It’s just that these two transfers from St. Petersburg Zenit this year are a bit surprising.

Just when everyone was shocked by the big moves of the Russian tyrants, Paris Saint-Germain, a tyrant from France, finally took action again.

For 50 million euros, Paris Saint-Germain announced that it would introduce Argentine winger Di Maria from Real Madrid at a price second only to Hulk. This player was not valued at Real Madrid last season and failed to play as the main player, which made him a little dissatisfied, so he was eager to switch to Paris Saint-Germain.

The French team also quickly confirmed the transfer transaction and disclosed the specific details, saying that Di Maria was recommended to Gao Han by technical director Antero Enrique, and was appointed by Gao Han. In order to convince Di Maria, after being approved by Real Madrid, Gao Han, who was in Madrid, met Di Maria and persuaded the Argentine to join.

"According to the information obtained by the reporter, Di Maria will play a crucial role in Gao Han's tactical framework for the new season, so Gao Han did not hesitate to come forward in person to persuade Di Maria to join."

As a chain reaction, after announcing the sale of Di Maria, Real Madrid quickly announced that it would introduce right-back Carvajal, who shined in the European Cup, from Chinatown at a high price of 50 million euros.

This transfer once again ignited the market.

A full-back who is only twenty years old, worth 50 million euros?

This made Kavajal surpass Alves at that time and became the highest-priced right-back in history.

But what is amazing is that after learning that the club has introduced Carvajal for 50 million, Real Madrid fans were very excited. Chairman Florentino even said in an interview with the media that the right-back born in Leganes, the southern suburbs, will become the future of Real Madrid.

Coincidentally, after Real Madrid announced the introduction of Carvajal, Atletico Madrid quickly announced that it had finalized midfielder Herrera from Chinatown for 40 million euros. This is the bedsheets team once again poached Chinatown's midfielder after Schneiderlin.

After announcing Herrera's transfer, Chinatown soon announced that Rakitic will stay in the team. The club will sign a new contract with Rakitic in the near future. The Croatian midfielder also made it clear that he will stay in Chinatown.

This undoubtedly cut off the tentacles of poaching many teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain.

After Chinatown announced that Rakitic stayed in the team, Barcelona had to immediately shift their targets and soon announced that they had introduced drag-off midfielder Alexander Song from Arsenal at a high price of 25 million euros.

The Arsenal captain has had conflicts with the Gunners over the past six months due to the renewal issue and has been unable to complete the contract renewal. It has been reported that Arsenal intends to make him thick, and Barcelona quickly met Wenger's asking price of 25 million euros.

Song joined to fill the team's weakness in the midfield, but what Bilanova attached most was the signing of the left-back.

After a stalemate negotiation, at the end of July, Barcelona finally announced to the public that they would introduce left-back Alba from Chinatown for 50 million euros Gamontoya, and the former Barcelona youth training player was finally able to return home in glory.

The media soon reported that Chinatown's left-back's goal of signing targets, including Malaga's Monreal and Valencia's Beltonna, but the result was a big surprise. Chinatown announced that it would introduce 20-year-old left-back player Alberto Moreno from Sevilla's second team for a price of 3 million euros.

Matayana, a famous reporter from Marca, revealed that Chinatown was originally the first choice was Monreal, and the second choice was Beltna, but the offer from the two clubs, Malaga and Valencia, both made Chinatown feel embarrassed.

"Gao Han personally formulated a rational recruitment strategy, which made it difficult for Chinatown to invest more than 10 million euros in the left-back position, but the asking prices of both clubs are significantly higher than Chinatown can accept."

Chinatown technical director Cantalero also quickly explained, saying that the club's introduction of Moreno valued the strength of the young player, and believed that he could succeed in Chinatown and form a good competition with Alex Sandro.

When a media reporter asked about the rumors about Aubameyang's transfer, Cantalero also made it clear this time that he would announce the final result to the public in the near future.

As expected, three days later, Chinatown and Paris Saint-Germain announced to the public that the French Ligue 1 tyrants introduced Gabon international Aubameyang from Chinatown by paying liquidated damages. Antero Enrique said that the African player has lightning speed and outstanding scoring ability, which will bring huge improvements to Paris Saint-Germain in the new season.

At the same time, Paris Saint-Germain also announced that the 21-year-old young player Kante had transferred to Chinatown, but the transfer fee was not disclosed to the public. It was just that some media revealed that there was only a symbolic euro.

However, under Aubameyang's earthquake-magnitude transfer, Kanter's joining did not attract any attention.

Even if it is the Spanish media, what they are more concerned about is whether Chinatown will sign a sign on the right after sending Aubameyang away? If so, who will be introduced?
