Chapter 18 Future, the future!

Jonny Hausen is worthy of being the captain of Leeds United. Although he is not the highest salary in the team, there are reports that before the end of this season, that is, before the expiration of his existing contract with Leeds United, he will receive a maximum salary of 600,000 pounds per year. So with the help of Jonny Hausen, Wang Tiezhu easily chose a gift for Melissa's family. Everyone, including Melissa's parents and her little brother, has an exquisite gift. The price is not very expensive, but it can be seen that he is indeed attentive.

The "Youth Guards" are no longer a super team, and the club's financial situation is not very good. However, through means of severance such as salary cap, the club's finances are still healthy. At least they have not signed huge debts in the bank like many teams. There is even no debt in the financial statements of Leeds United. It has to be admitted that the club's chairman Ken Bates, who is already 80 years old, does have superhuman wisdom in football.

Today, Leeds United chairman Ken Bates has rich experience in football investment. Thirty years ago, he bought Chelsea from the Mills family at a symbolic price of 1 pound. In the next twenty-one, Ken Bates made a lot of contributions to Chelsea, including bringing the team back to the then English top league A, winning two FA Cups, one European Winners Cup, and completing a large-scale renovation and transformation of Stamford Bridge Stadium. He is considered one of the most successful presidents in Chelsea's history. When he reselled his team to Russian tycoon Abramovich, the old man also made a net profit of 17 million pounds.

When Ken Bates first joined Leeds United, he was once the chairman of his arch rival Chelsea, so he was strongly opposed by Leeds fans. However, the old man improved the team's financial situation and was almost bankrupted by former chairman Peter Ridzdale. After that, Ken Bates carried out several small renovations and expansions of Elland Road Stadium to increase the team's fiscal revenue. The last time was in March this year, a hall and 20 private rooms were added to the east stands, and hotels and supermarkets will be added around the stadium again. These seemingly stingy methods have actually improved the team's finances and allowed the team's strength to gradually grow.

Of course, Ken Bates, a president who likes big mouths, still has not completely won the trust of fans, especially his stingy style of increasing ticket prices to increase team income, and his stingy style in the transfer market has been criticized by Leeds United fans.

But no one can refuse to admit that Ken Bates's methods in running a football club are indeed clever. The "Youth Guards" who once lost money to win a championship in the English Premier League because of crazy money, has now gradually recovered. With more and more young players he has trained and powerful players who are cheap and powerful, Leeds United now has the ability and qualification to compete in the Premier League, but... they still have to wait for the opportunity to come.

Because his steak had already entered Jonny Hausen's stomach and Wang Tiezhu's lunch was gone, he grabbed his captain and asked him to invite an Italian meal, and then asked him to send himself home. He sent him away without even letting him in the house.

Jonny Hausen is quite personality. He was treated like this by Wang Tiezhu but was not angry at all. He grinned at the door that was tightly closed, then turned around and whistled into his car and left.

Jonny Hausen was really not angry at all because he felt that he and "Shake" had become best friends. Although he had not been in contact with Wang Tiezhu for a long time, and the two of them had only one game in real battle, Jonny Hausen had already determined that Wang Tiezhu. This 18-year-old boy could make everyone in Leeds team trust, which is a proof of his ability.

Jonny Hausen believes that the future of the "Youth Guards" will definitely fall on him, Wang Tiezhu and Ben Parker. As long as the three of them can stay firmly in the team, the team's future will have hope. Of course, if the youth team can send more young boys to the first team, even if their strength is just average, the team will become more combat-oriented under the leadership of the three of them.

After Wang Tiezhu returned home, he turned on the computer and looked at his Twitter when he had nothing to do. The number of visits turned out to be...zero!

"Oh! No one? Forget it, let's play mahjong!"

Wang Tiezhu felt a little disappointed when no one paid attention to it, but soon he was immersed in the joy of mahjong. He had an account in Lianzhong that had already reached the first level. The level division of "brick-moving" surprised him, but when he went up again, he no longer had this account. Wang Tiezhu had to re-register and then began to struggle in Sifang City.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Melissa came in Santana, whose paint had fallen out of her car.

"Zach, what are you doing? Come and pick me up. There are two bags in the car, you can take them off!"

Melissa opened the door and walked in with a big bag of things she bought from the supermarket with difficulty. Wang Tiezhu didn't bother to play mahjong. After choosing the option of automatic card game, she quickly ran up and reached out to take the big paper bag.

"Hey, my dear, I'll get it!"

He touched Melissa and kissed him lightly. Then Wang Tiezhu turned around and delivered the things to the kitchen table.

"Oh-Zach, is this the gift you prepared for my family? What are they?"

Seeing three gift boxes of different sizes on the dining table, Melissa shouted happily. She was worried that her boyfriend, who had developed limbs and simple minds, would forget about this, otherwise she would have to come back in an hour.

Wang Tiezhu laughed and walked towards the door to get the things in the car: "I won't tell you what kind of gift it is, but if you open it and see it, you have to be responsible for repackaging it!"

Melissa pouted and shrugged her shoulders, and said to the tall back, "Forget it, if you don't say it, I'll know sooner or later."

After Wang Tiezhu brought the things back, Melissa began to place her and soon put the food and daily necessities back in place. Then the two of them went out to Melissa's house.

Melissa's home is a small two-story villa built by herself. There is also a small swimming pool of dozens of square meters in the yard. Her parents have already placed barbecue grills and tables on the lawn, and even the charcoal fire has been lit, waiting for Wang Tiezhu and his daughter to arrive.

Melissa's father is a lawyer, her mother is a nursing home staff member, and her younger brother is only five years old.

"Father, this one is..."

Melissa walked two steps to her parents and brother, wanting to introduce Wang Tiezhu to his father, but his father stopped her with a smile: "Hahaha, Melissa, you don't need to introduce me. Of course I recognize him, our new star of Leeds, Shaq! Welcome to our house as a guest. I am Villa Kennedy Gragino!"

Vera Kennedy Gragino, wearing a pair of gold-edged glasses, had a straight haircut, giving people the impression that he was as smart and capable as his profession, and was a qualified lawyer with a sense of justice.

"Hello uncle, I am Zach Thompson and Shaq!"

Wang Tiezhu dared not tell the truth in front of anyone. After all, his experience is too incredible, and no one would believe it if he talks it out. He would only treat him as mentally abnormal and cause more trouble.

Wang Tiezhu smiled and handed the gift. Melissa's beautiful and kind mother smiled and reached out to take it: "Shake, I am Melissa's mother Aphra Hebrew. Thank you for coming. Our family is a supporter of Leeds. We have become your fans after yesterday's game."

The little guy came over and said in a slight voice: "Hello, Shaq, I am Zeniel Gragino. I am five years old this year. I... I... uh, are you my sister's boyfriend?... I am also your fan. Can you sign me? If possible, sign a few more, I want to give it to my friends."

ah!?

Wang Tiezhu was caught off guard by Ozawa Niel's words. Why did this little slap kid's thinking dance so well? He was still serious when introducing himself. The second sentence asked about the young man and woman, and the third sentence was about to sign.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Vera Kennedy Gragino took the lead and laughed, and then several adults laughed happily. Melissa picked up her brother in a doting way and shaved his nose: "Zenier, if you are willing to practice piano, I will let Shaq sign you, change another one in an hour. The longer you practice piano, the more signatures you get, and you can take photos with him, but in that case, you have to practice piano for ten hours every time you get a photo."

"Sister, it's okay to practice the piano, but Shaq...will he agree?"

"Of course!" Melissa smiled and said, "Didn't you say that my sister is Shaq's girlfriend! Of course he will listen to me!"

"Okay, okay, I want more autographs and more photos! Sister, please put me down quickly, I'm going to practice the piano!"

Neil Ozawa struggled to get out of Melissa's arms, and after being put down by his sister, he turned around and ran back to the room.

Aphra Hebrew looked at his son and ran in, and said proudly to Wang Tiezhu: "Shak, Ozawa Niel is very talented in piano. Although he is only five years old, he has obtained the fifth-level certificate of Royal Piano in the UK, which is the highest level he can get before receiving cultural education."

Wang Tiezhu didn't understand what the British Royal piano grade was, but his intuition told him that this was already a very great achievement for the young Niel Ozawa, and the gentle sound of piano music floating out of the room could be known.

Vera Kennedy Gragino was very satisfied with Wang Tiezhu who looked admiring on his face. After all, every parent hoped that his children could be envious and respectful. Wang Tiezhu showed admiration for Niel Ozawa, which was more pleasing than the gifts he brought.

"Aha, Shaq, our future big star, it's time to join us now. The barbecue will be ready soon. Let's have some champagne first!"

Melissa, who was on the other hand, immediately showed a happy smile on her face. Her father wanted to drink champagne with Wang Tiezhu, which means that he had agreed to continue getting along with Wang Tiezhu. Foreigners only open champagne when they were very happy and happy to celebrate something.

However, when he saw Wang Tiezhu silly and went to drink champagne with his father, Melissa had no choice but to meet his mother and then smiled and shrugged. However, Aphra Hebrew looked at Melissa with a smile full of relief.

Obviously, Wang Tiezhu easily won the favor of the Gragino family. The feeling of getting along with people is often so simple. A look, a sentence, or even a move may gain favor from others.
