A record-breaking 105 goals in one season, a contract renewal, a holiday, and another cultivation breakthrough!
The players and fans waved one by one, sprinkled champagne on the float, and occasionally threw out one or two commemorative fir trees, footballs signed by some players, and signed photos, etc.
The bus drove for nearly four and a half hours, from Old Trafford to Stretford Commercial Street, passing through the entire downtown area of Manchester along the way.
The rain gradually stopped, and a ray of sunshine emerged from the clouds, reflecting golden light on the wet streets.
The moment Zhang Kuang took the trophy passed to him, the biggest cheers in the entire parade rang out from below.
He raised the trophy and faced the ray of sunlight leaking from the cracks in the clouds, making the metal surface of Big Ears Cup shine brightly.
"Manchester United is the champion!" he shouted below.
"Manchester United is the champion!" Countless fans responded in unison.
At that moment, Zhang Kuang felt that in his twenty-year-old life, all the sweat, all the pain, all the early morning training, and all the gritted teeth and perseverance were worth it.
--
After the championship parade that day, Manchester United held an internal celebration party and distributed everyone's bonuses to the players. Then last night, Vidić, as the captain, took the lead in throwing a party. However, Zhang Kuang spent the night having fun with the team members and bid farewell to two players who were determined to retire.
Van der Sar and Scholes, Van der Sar can be expected to retire, but Scholes will also retire, which is unexpected. He said that he has been planning for several months.
Since we are retiring, we must make the two veterans happy, so we all tried a milk facial cleanse together. Many teammates added some other things to the milk facial cleansing.
But Zhang Kuang didn't, he went back to the hotel, and the quality in the hotel was higher.
On the morning of May 30, Jonathan took a lawyer from the company with him, picked up Zhang Kuang and drove back to Carrington Training Ground.
David·Gill and Glazer are already waiting in the conference room. There are two files on the table, a thick stack.
"Sit down." Gill motioned. After Zhang Kuang and Jonathan sat down, they started talking.
Zhang Kuang and the lawyer are looking at the contract, and the lawyer is reviewing the final contract. They have agreed on everything that needs to be discussed, and they just want to see if there are any errors in the final text.
Finally, Zhang Kuang read the contract and expressed no objection.
The price is not bad. The weekly salary after tax is 250,000 pounds, which is equivalent to an annual salary of 13 million pounds, which is equivalent to 14.365 million euros. In 2011, Cristiano Ronaldo's annual salary was 12 million euros, and Messi's annual salary was 10.5 million euros.
It can be said that Zhang Kuang is now the highest-paid football player in the world. This salary is enough to reflect Manchester United's sincerity.
Regarding Chelsea's double salary and Manchester City's random salary, he felt that Manchester United's offer was more reliable.
Final contract details: £250,000 per week before salary and taxes, four-year contract with one-year priority to renew.
The image rights share is adjusted to 91%, with Zhang Kuang getting 90% and the club getting 10%.
There are all kinds of additional clauses such as goal bonus, assist bonus, championship bonus, etc. There is even a clause of 'UEFA Champions League Golden Boot as an additional reward of 500,000 pounds'. Considering that Zhang Kuang won the UEFA Champions League Golden Boot this season, this clause is effective immediately.
The signing fee is 2 million pounds. After signing Zhang Kuang, you can get 2 million pounds. Jonathan explained this to him in the car when he arrived. The main reason is that his annual salary is already the highest salary. If he gives an excessive signing fee, he is afraid that the players in the team will be unbalanced.
Zhang Kuang It doesn't matter to this. It's the best if you have it, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it.
Money is of little use to him as a person who has no other hobbies. Apart from buying stocks, he doesn't know what the use of money is.
He would like to invest in some technology companies or something, but some technology companies don't mean that you just want to use them to throw others away. In addition to funds, they also need to raise resources, resources that Zhang Kuang does not have.
What are resources? For example, in China, there is a large amount of free land, taxation, government procurement, channels, etc. These are the resources on the surface, not to mention the secret ones.
And if Wall Street capital enters the market, what they bring to the enterprise is the global market. The endorsement that United States power brings to you will allow you to operate unimpeded in the global market. You can even go public with Wall Street and raise global money, etc.
This is resources, and this is what some technology companies value.
For those, where does a kicking Zhang Kuang come from?
Therefore, he takes the money and wants to invest, but no one else wants it.
He had no choice but to use it to speculate in stocks, such as buying some high-dividend dividend stocks, such as the four major banks of China Agricultural and Industrial Construction, as well as stocks such as Moutai, and even domestic technology stocks such as Tencent.
Buy some more technology tickets that he knows will double in the future, such as Apple, Qualcomm, Tesla, Nvidia, and Wall Street.
Originally he wanted to get more Bitcoin, but then he thought about it, it's useless if you take too much of it. If you take too much of it, they will confiscate it directly.
The moment he finished signing, Gill held Zhang Kuang's hand. "This is the highest weekly salary Manchester United has ever given in history, but it is the most worthwhile for Manchester United because you can bring corresponding value."
Zhang Kuang nodded. "Yes, I will make the club feel that the money is worth spending."
Then the two stood together for a group photo, and the club's media specialist took several exquisite photos of them.
After signing the contract, Zhang Kuang officially went on vacation. He made all the arrangements. Maldives spent US$50,000 to rent an island in one day for ten days.
So, after signing the contract, he left.
At 6 o'clock in the evening that day, Manchester United officially released the contract renewal announcement.
The announcement read, "Manchester United Club is very pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Mr. Zhang Kuang on a contract extension. Mr. Zhang Kuang will play for Manchester United until 2015 and has the option to renew his contract for one year.
His outstanding performance in the 2010-11 season: 64 goals and 29 assists in the league, 26 goals and 12 assists in UEFA Champions League, has proven that he is a world-class player.
We look forward to him bringing more honors to Manchester United in the future, and wish him to score more goals in various competitions."
Less than an hour after the announcement was made, the transfer market exploded.
Several of Premier League's championship contending clubs have begun to advance their heavy signing plans in the summer. There is no way, Manchester United cannot win the championship so easily next season.
At the same time, there was a wave of "Congratulations to Manchester United for locking the future core" on major football forums and social media.
"Manchester United's approach is correct. Firmly locking down the team's top star is the foundation for continued glory next season."
"Fuck, if Zhang Kuang continues to sign Manchester United, how will Premier League's other teams play?"
"Does anyone know what Zhang Kuang's salary is now?"
"It is said that he has the highest salary in the world, higher than Cristiano Ronaldo and higher than Messi."
"Cristiano Ronaldo's current annual salary is 12 million euros. Isn't that 13 million euros? 14 million?"
"Is the specific number important? Do you know how many goals Zhang Kuang has scored in various official competitions this season? 64 goals in the league, 26 goals for UEFA Champions League, and 4 goals for Football Association Cup, Community Shield 2 goals, Hong Kong Team 9 goals, 105 goals in the whole season, not counting his assist data, he also has 40+ assists. With this kind of performance, shouldn't he get the highest salary in the world?"
"Ah? 105 goals in a single season? This, is this a record that has never been achieved before? It seems that the most goals ever recorded were Ged Müller's 85 goals in 1972 (club + West Germany National Team). This record has never been broken. And Zhang Kuang directly raised this record to 105 goals? This is too outrageous."
"As far as I know, this record is not over yet, because there will be Hong Kong Team's Asian Qualifiers's games in the next June, July, and September. What if we score again? Does it count for this season or next season?"
"Oh my god, it's incredible. 105 goals in a single season. I can't even think about it."
--
Zhang Kuang didn't read these messages. He was packing his luggage in the hotel. He would take a flight to Maldives that afternoon. He booked an island and gathered all the women on the island. He wanted to live the life of an emperor with seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards.
He is a cultivator of immortality. If he doesn't even enjoy this in the mortal world, then he is still a shitty cultivator of immortality!
In the early morning of May 31, Zhang Kuang landed on Maldives Malé International Airport.
The moment the heat wave poured in from the gangway, he felt like he had stepped into the chest of summer from the United Kingdom the cold spring.
The air was filled with the salty sea breeze and the sweet smell of coconut. The airport lights Guangming shone dazzlingly on the asphalt ground of the airport runway, making them dazzlingly white.
The person who picked him up held a sign with his name on it: It was a Maldives local wearing a white linen shirt with a bright smile.
He took Zhang Kuang on a speedboat. The motor roared and cut through the emerald water. After the speedboat jumped on the waves for about forty minutes, a small island appeared on the horizon.
"This is your chartered island, Mr. Zhang." The pick-up person said, "One island and one hotel. The whole island is just you and your... companions. Of course, there are also thirty-eight chefs, cleaners, plumbers, etc. to serve you. If you need anything, just call me!"
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Kuang nodded.
When the speedboat docked, Zhang Kuang saw more than twenty figures in bikinis standing on the beach. Some waved to him, some were holding cocktails and laughing, and some jumped into the shallow water and swam toward him.
When the light shines on them, the sea water is as blue as canvas and the white sand beach is as fine as flour.
Zhang Kuang stepped ashore on the warm sand and stretched a lot.
"It's cool." He yelled and started to hug him from left to right.
In the next ten days, he will live an 'imperial life'.
As a result, he had just finished practicing that night, and as soon as the sky lit up, his system pushed a message with a 'ding' sound.
"Congratulations to the host, for winning the UEFA Champions League best player of the season in the 2010-11 season, and winning Qi and Blood Points rewards for 125 games in total, a total of 125×4=500 Qi and Blood Points."
Zhang Kuang was stunned for a moment, and immediately checked his system to see how many Qi and Blood Points and how many Upgrade Card there were.
The last time Qi and Blood Points was settled on February 23, he still had a balance of 119.5 points. At that time, he had 49 goals and 23 assists in the league. At the end of the season, he had 64 goals and 29 assists. There were only 18 goals and assists in the league. Qi and Blood Points.
There is also Football Association Cup, who has 4 goals and 1 assist, and can get 2.25 Qi and Blood Points. UEFA Champions League was settled last time when he had 14 goals and 9 assists. Now he has 26 goals and 12 assists, and can get 27 Qi and Blood Points.
In addition, from February 23 to May 28, he played a total of 16 games, of which 14 games won a single game MVP, two Football Association Cup MVP Qi and Blood Points totaled 2 points, and 6 games UEFA Champions League won 5 MVPs in the league, with a total of 20 Qi and Blood Points, and won 7 MVPs in the league with 7 Qi and Blood Points, so the MVP here has a total of 29 Qi and Blood Points points.
The last settlement ended on May 31st, which was exactly 100 days. During these 100 days, he would practice whenever he had the opportunity, but there were also many times when he didn't have the opportunity to practice, such as game days, such as the days when he returned to Hong Kong, etc.
But overall, he still accumulated 585 Qi and Blood Points points through practice in these 100 days. In this way, he earned a total of 661.25 Qi and Blood Points through practice, goals and assists in these 100 days, plus the balance from last time was 119.5 Qi and Blood Points.
Now Qi and Blood Points has a total balance of 780.75 points, plus UEFA Champions League's 500 points as the best player, he has a total balance of 1289.75 points.
Look at his Upgrade Card, Premier League golden boots × 2 pieces Upgrade Card, Football Association Cup × 1 piece Upgrade Card, Premier League champion × 4 pieces Upgrade Card, UEFA Champions League Golden Boot × 4 Upgrade Card, UEFA Champions League Champion × 8 Upgrade Card, so he has a total of 19 Upgrade Card.
It's time to upgrade once. After working hard for so long, I can finally upgrade my training level. God and earth, it's so slow and miserable for this cultivator to accumulate some resources for cultivating immortals!
At six o'clock in the morning, Zhang Kuang took the map and went to a secluded beach on the east side of the island to meditate.
After he adjusted his physical condition, he immediately sent the upgrade instructions to the system.
1,000 Qi and Blood Points were deducted, and another Upgrade Card was deducted.
After about one stick of incense, with the influx of new power, Zhang Kuang was upgraded from Qi Refining First Layer Advanced Stage to Qi Refining First Layer Perfection, and all indicators increased significantly.
For example, the physical indicators are not listed. They are already in the Superman category. The most important thing is that his spiritual power value has increased to 7 silk. Soundproofing Technique, Spirit Eye Technique, Faint Sound Listening Technique, and Tiny Object Grasping Technique have all been significantly improved.
It's a pity that some spells can't be shown off. It's really uncomfortable. Thinking of this, Zhang Kuang jumped directly into the sea. He can go to the sea to show off to the fish in the sea to see how powerful he is.

From then on, the king did not go to court early. During the day, he and everyone drank cocktails in the infinity pool, went snorkeling to see sharks and manta rays, and played volleyball on the beach.
Evenings are an even more complete indulgence.
Bonfire on the beach under the moonlight, music, dance, champagne... While more than twenty girls were dancing around the bonfire, Zhang Kuang was lying on the beach chair, holding a glass of mojito in his hand, looking up at the starry sky in the southern hemisphere.
The Milky Way spans across the head, and the dense stars are like a handful of broken diamonds sprinkled on the black satin.
When you get interested, you just pull someone over from the crowd and push her down...
"This is what we call living." He whispered.
It's a pity that ten days are too short, and ten days passed quickly.
June 11th is the day for Hong Kong Team to report for the training camp, so he must return to Hong Kong.
On the afternoon of June 10, he boarded the flight to Hong Kong with four female companions (four who were free and willing to stay with him back to Hong Kong).
On the evening of June 10, Zhang Kuang landed on Hong Kong International Airport.
Wearing sunglasses, a floral shirt, and dragging his suitcase while walking in the arrivals hall, he was recognized by several sharp-eyed passengers.
"It's Zhang Kuang!"
"UEFA Champions League MVP!"
"Who are those four foreign girls behind him?"
"..."
He quickened his pace, but was still blocked by a group of paparazzi with telephoto lenses at the entrance of the parking lot for five minutes.
"Zhang Kuang! Photos of your vacation at Maldives were exposed! There are more than twenty beauties on the island! Do you have anything to say?"
Zhang Kuang was stunned for a moment, did he do it so secretly or did the outside world know about it?
Zhang Kuang opened Bentley's car door, turned around and made a 'V' sign with a smile, "I've been tired from playing football for a season, can't I still enjoy it?"
Reporter: "Ah? Do you need more than 20 women for your enjoyment? Are you busy enough?"
Zhang Kuang spread his hands helplessly. "I can't help it. I'm very capable. Those who are capable should work harder. How strong is your ability? Why don't you try and see if you can handle three or four?"
Reporter: "Holy shit, Zhang Kuang, you are awesome! Do you have any tips?"
Zhang Kuang: "I am not a technical person, I am a foolhardy person. You can understand it from the way I play on the court."
Reporter: "Wow, you are awesome."
The four female companions got into the back seat, and as soon as the door was closed, Bentley roared out of the airport.
The paparazzi chased him for a while and then gave up.
Just half an hour later, the news that Zhang Kuang appeared at Hong Kong airport, accompanied by four foreign girls, appeared on the TV station. Even the reporter's Q&A with Zhang Kuang also appeared on the TV news.
As soon as the news appeared on TV, it immediately appeared on the Internet, and everyone was shocked.
Zhang Kuang Guangming admitted it honestly?
What else did he say, 'I'm tired after playing football for a season, so I can't enjoy myself?'
"Die, Zhang Kuang, these words are really good... domineering? No, refreshing? No, anyway, it is very cool, 'I can't enjoy it yet'? It's just that the enjoyment is a bit scary, there are more than 20 foreign girls."
"What's wrong? You're envious. People have said that those who are capable have to work harder. You need to satisfy one first. If you can satisfy one, try two or three. You probably won't be able to satisfy even one. If someone can satisfy more than twenty people, why don't you admit that they are capable? So, what's wrong with those who are able to work harder?"
"This... seems to be nothing wrong, but... isn't he afraid of emptying himself and then playing football?"
"Have you ever seen him on the court? He is very strong. No matter how strong a defender is, he can't beat him physically. Isn't he strong enough?"
"This... always feels like something is wrong?"
"If you think something is wrong, that's because you look at it with ordinary people's thinking. You think that if ordinary people do that thing every night, their bodies must be empty. From the perspective of ordinary people, you should take good care of your body to increase your career, and you should restrain your desires... But, have you ever thought about it? Zhang Kuang is not an ordinary person, and none of what you say is true."
"He is not an ordinary person? Then he is a god?"
"There is only one Zhang Kuang in this world. Have you ever seen a second super strong person besides him who can kill everyone in Europe? Is he still an ordinary person? It means that his physical talent is so strong that he is definitely not like ordinary people."
"So that's what it is, it makes sense!"
