Chapter 554 5?Is he worth it?
Chapter 554 500?Is he worth it?
When Hoeness announced that he had successfully renewed his contract with Rongguang, the public opinion was overwhelmingly full of praise and joy.
But when the "Munich Daily" revealed the specific figures of Rongguang's annual salary, the situation was different.
Timo Brower's survey tells everyone that Rongguang's current annual salary is 500 million euros.
"...but please note that the 500 million euros is after-tax figure! What does this mean? It means that in order to give Rong an annual salary of 500 million euros, Bayern Munich actually spent 910 million euros! Generally speaking, the annual salary we talk about is actually pre-tax, so we should call Rong 'Mr. 900 million'!"
Timo Brower still hasn't given up on Black Glory. If he can't get black in terms of technical performance, then he can black out in other places, such as Rongguang's annual salary...
In his articles he exaggerates to the fullest.
Using a lot of words with strong emotional color, it seems that it is not reporting a matter fairly and objectively at all, but more like venting one's emotions.
As a man who lives off his pen, Brower knows all too well how to mobilize the reader's emotions.
Of course, it would be wrong to say that he was just looking for trouble for nothing.
Because when Timo Brower heard the whistleblower broke the news that Rongguang's annual salary was as high as 500 million euros, and it was after tax, he himself was taken aback.
Then his first reaction was: Hoeness got shit in his head?
Otherwise, he couldn't explain why Hoeness, who has always been shrewd, agreed to such a request.
500 million after tax!
This kid has only played for Bayern Munich for half a season, and he hasn't helped Bayern Munich get a championship yet!
He played in the League Cup at the beginning of the season, but Bayern Munich was eliminated without even passing the semi-finals.
Even if Rongguang has great potential, there is really no need to rush to give him such a salary that completely breaks the internal balance of the team, right?
And now give him an annual salary of 500 million euros, how much should the next contract renewal be?Is it possible to break the tens of millions?Is this too exaggerated?
In Brauer's view, Hoeness's contract is completely pushing himself and Bayern Munich club to a dead end.
It is impossible for Rongguang and Bayern Munich to only sign this contract and not renew it?
If the contract is renewed, it is absolutely impossible for the player to lower his salary.
What should I do then?Further raise the salary level?
In this way, wouldn't it increase the burden on the entire club?
Moreover, Rong Guang has only played for the team for half a season, and he can get such a high salary. What does the rest of the team think?Kahn's annual salary is only 300 million euros, and he is still the captain. Does that mean the price will also increase?
There are other Bayern Munich players, after they heard about Rongguang's annual salary, they must be willing to continue to take the current salary.
At that time, they will ask for a price increase. What about Bayern Munich?
Timo Brauer puts his own thoughts and fears, as well as speculation, into his article.
When his article appeared in the newspaper, it immediately aroused strong direction.
Many Bayern Munich fans also feel that the club has gone too far.
Glory is of course good, very good.Everyone also supports a salary increase for him. An annual income of 100 million euros is too little for a player like him.
But 500 million after tax... That's too exaggerated.
There are even fans who believe that Timo Brower's source is wrong. Rongguang's 500 million annual salary is a pre-tax figure, not an after-tax figure.
But soon, other media also disclosed the annual salary in the Rongguang contract.
500 million euros after tax!
That's right!
Immediately, the Bayern Munich fans didn't know what to say.
Scold Rong Guang?
This matter can't be blamed on Rong Guang's head, the club is willing to give it, and Rong Guang and his manager are not fools, how could they not want it?It's impossible not to change it to anyone.
So I had to scold the club and Hoeness.
They all feel that they can accept the 300 million after tax of the glorious performance, but the 500 million after tax is really scary.
In the media and on forums, Rongguang's annual salary has caused huge controversy and discussion.
A German TV station even made a special program, inviting guests to come and discuss whether Glory is worth the annual salary standard.
The guests were divided into two factions, one group supported Rong Guang's annual salary, and the other group opposed it.
The two sides quarreled fiercely in the program, and the smell of gunpowder was very strong.
Of course, it doesn't rule out that there are elements deliberately arranged by the program group.
But after this episode was broadcast, it aroused a good response, and the ratings at that time were also very high.
This shows that the issue of Rongguang's annual salary has become a social hot spot.

"These Germans are really boring. Why don't they talk about Ballack's 900 million after-tax annual salary?" Lucas Sutton said to Rong Guang indignantly. "To put it bluntly, you are Chinese and Barak is German. Simple as that."
At this time, he and Rong Guang were doing extra training on the training ground.
Rong Guang lowered his head and was passing and catching the ball with his left foot, so he couldn't see his expression.
"Don't worry about those people, Rong. Anyway, the money is in your own pocket!"
"Of course I don't care about it. How can I have time to care about them?" Rong Guang said with his head down, and then passed the football with his left foot.
Lucas didn't even move his position this time, and raised his foot to catch the ball kicked by Rong Guang.
"Not bad. The accuracy of passing the ball with the left foot is already very high." Lucas said.
"Not yet." Rong Guang shook his head. "Now I'm practicing without confrontation, but the opponent's marking of me will be very strict during the game. It is absolutely impossible for me to have the opportunity to pass and receive the ball like in training. So I have to continue to practice."
"Confrontation practice? This is simple. You find a wall, you kick the ball towards the wall, and then catch the rebound, and then I will interfere with you and let you go, can't you?" Lucas suggested.
Rong Guang stopped, then looked up at Lucas, stunned for a moment, and patted his forehead: "What a good idea, Lucas! Let's go, let's go now!" After speaking, he picked up the football, turned around and walked to the building where the locker room was located, where there was the wall he needed.
After adding the elements of confrontation, sure enough, Rong Guang's left foot is not so easy to use.
Sometimes there is no need for physical contact. As long as Lucas pounces, Rongguang will make a pass or stop the ball.
But Rong Guang was not discouraged, he knew it was normal.Just keep training, so he's fighting over and over again.
And Lucas was always with him.

Rongguang's annual salary figure is indeed too sensitive. The reporters who came to interview Rongguang in Spain's training camp all asked about this figure by coincidence.
In this regard, Deborah had already greeted Rong Guang in advance.
Now the original source of all the specific figures of Rongguang's annual salary comes from Timo Brauer's report. The official Bayern Munich club did not admit this figure, nor announced the specific details of Rongguang's contract.
So ask Rong Guang not to nod in recognition.After all, as long as the two sides do not admit it, this will always be just speculation by the media, not official data.At that time, both parties can completely deny this.
In fact, the contract data that everyone has seen is basically revealed by the media. Few clubs officially announce the details of the contract, basically it is "alleged" and "rumored".
Many of the official press releases after the two parties signed the contract are such statements as "both parties refuse to disclose the details of the contract"...
So when the reporters came to interview Rong Guang, Rong Guang of course denied this number.
"No comment." Rong Guang replied.
Timo Brower yelled among the reporters: "Why is this no comment?"
Rong Guang took a look at him, because this reporter was himself, so Rong Guang also remembered his appearance.
"Then, what is your annual income, is it convenient for you to disclose it?" Rong Guang asked back.
Timo Brower was stunned, and was speechless for a moment.
In the West, personal income is a very personal issue, and it is an absolute personal privacy. If others do not want to say it, they cannot be forced to say it.
Only the tax department has the qualification and power to investigate the personal income of each person.Because it involves paying taxes.
"But you are a public figure..." Timo Brower said unwillingly after a moment of stupefaction.
"You are also a public figure, Mr. Brower, you are a well-known reporter, you have appeared on many programs, and you have a column in the newspaper. You are a very influential public figure, so you should announce it too." Rong Guang confronted.
It's rare that Rong Guang and a reporter got married.
In the past, his attitude towards the media was fairly friendly, and he didn't have any particular hatred for reporters, and he rarely took the initiative to directly conflict with reporters.
But Timo Brower blacked him again and again, and he also has fire.
"This... what we are discussing now is your annual salary."
"But what I'm discussing with you is your annual salary, Mr. Brower."
The reporters on the side opened their eyes.
In the past, Rong Guang seldom talked loudly when facing reporters. Rather than talking, he was more willing to prove himself with practical actions.
But now everyone realizes that Rong Guang's lip service is also very good!
Brauer has already found out that Rong Guang is quibbling, and messed around with him.
If you continue to entangle, you will only digress from the topic.
In the end, he still wanted everyone to focus on Rongguang's annual salary.It doesn't matter whether Rong Guang admits it or not. Anyway, everyone now agrees that his annual salary after tax is 500 million euros.
The key is whether he is worth the 500 million after tax?
So he didn't continue to entangle with Rong Guang about the specific number of annual salary, but asked: "No matter what, everyone thinks you are this number now..."
Rong Guang interrupted him: "You said this number, and it has nothing to do with me. Whoever said it is responsible. If the tax department asks me to pay the tax, I will ask them to ask you to make up for me?"
Brower was terribly angry—he now felt that this seemingly innocent Chinese was simply too shameless!
At this time, another reporter in the crowd helped Brauer out: "Many people outside think that your salary is too exaggerated and not worth it. What do you think?"
Rong Guang didn't even turn his head, and continued to stare at the somewhat exasperated Brower and said, "I think I deserve any kind of high salary."
He seemed to be demonstrating to Brower.
Brower stared at him too, with a displeased expression on his face.
The eyes of the two people met in the air, as if sparks burst out.
