Chapter 674: Forbes Rich List

After the second round of the Champions League, on October 6, in the 9th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain will challenge Marseille away.

Marseille is the only French Ligue 1 team to have won the European Cup. They defeated AC Milan 1-0 in the 1993 Champions League final to win the trophy.

In the first eight rounds of this season, Marseille performed very well and currently has the same points as Monaco, but is ranked third because of the goal difference.

In the 9th round facing Paris Saint-Germain at home, Marseille did not shrink its defense, but instead launched an offensive against Paris Saint-Germain amid the cheers of the home fans.

After 90 minutes, the score on the big screen was 2-5, with the home team Marseille in front and the visiting team Paris Saint-Germain behind.

Marseille lost 3-0 at home, but fortunately they didn't have their heads shaved and still scored two goals.

After this league, it will be the international football match day. The World Cup qualifiers that have not been completed will continue, and other teams will either play in the continental qualifiers, warm-up matches or friendly matches.

However, Lu Wenbin did not return to China, but stayed at home to accompany Kate because Kate was pregnant.

Although Lu Chongxin and Sun Jiahui both came from China and there is a professional nanny, Lu Wenbin doesn't need to do anything, but it is always good to spend more time with his wife and make her happier.

Just as national team players from various countries returned after playing for their national teams, but the league had not yet begun, on October 16, the "2013 Forbes China Rich List" released by Forbes China put Lu Wenbin in the spotlight again.

Although everyone knows that Lu Wenbin has a high salary, high bonuses, and high endorsement fees, he also has his own 666 sports goods group, which uses Lu Wenbin's super high popularity to sell well around the world.

But no one thought that Lu Wenbin would one day be on the list of China's richest people.

In everyone's stereotyped thinking, no matter how much Lu Wenbin jumps around, he is just an employee and cannot be compared with those bosses who invest and deal in real estate.

Unlike those players who have no financial planning and squander money recklessly, Lu Wenbin has self-control.

As a result, no one expected that Lu Wenbin would be included in the 2013 Forbes China Rich List.

Although Lu Wenbin ranks last on the list of 400 people, he ranks 385th on the Forbes China Rich List with assets of 3.7 billion yuan.

But once you’re on it, you’re on it.

An active football player has unexpectedly made it onto the Chinese rich list and become a wealthy man with assets of more than 3 billion.

It's really astonishing.

But if you convert it carefully, it feels very normal.

In the past two years, Lu Wenbin's annual income from salary, bonuses, endorsements, and image rights licensing has exceeded 100 million euros. Combined with his rapidly growing 666 sports brand company and income from previous years, it is normal for him to have assets of more than 400 million euros.

Converted into RMB at the current exchange rate of about 1:8, wouldn't that be more than 3 billion RMB

For a time, the news that Lu Wenbin became a wealthy man by playing football dominated the front pages of major media around the world.

It turns out that in addition to doing business, you can also become rich by playing football or being an athlete.

This has completely refreshed people's understanding of the rich.

For a time, Lu Wenbin became the idol of countless teenagers, and also became the evidence used by many teenagers to refute their parents' claims that "playing football is useless and not a proper job."

The reputation of "Rich Man Lu" spread quickly.

In addition to a large number of media interviews, after returning to Paris Saint-Germain to start training, Lu Wenbin also had to face strange looks from his coaches and teammates.

Everyone knows that Lu Wenbin has a high income, but no one has ever thought about how much Lu Wenbin’s assets are.

As a result, Lu Wenbin has now become a wealthy man, which is a huge blow to people.

It's like two children, A and B, working together in a factory. Although A is capable, fast and efficient, and is highly appreciated by his leader and boss, the other child, B, is not jealous and thinks that this is what his friend A deserves.

Suddenly one day, an outsider tells B that A, who goes to get off work with you every day, now has assets worth billions, and perhaps the factory they work in does not have as much assets as A.

This is really difficult to turn around.

Lu Wenbin is already very strong and has a high reputation. Now some young players even look at him with awe when they see him.

Only Ibrahimovic kept asking the rich man Lu to treat him, and Lu Wenbin agreed with a smile.

After everyone had a meal together, Lu Wenbin shared some financial management knowledge with his teammates, which resolved the awkward situation.

Back to the court.

On October 19, in the 10th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain faced Bastia at home.

As a result, the Bastia players also looked at Lu Wenbin with a strange look.

There were even Bastia fans who held up a mocking banner in the stands: "Rich man Lu, you should sit in the box and not play in the game!"

The implication is that Lu Wenbin is too abnormal and too unfriendly to other teams and players when playing on the court.

Since you are so rich, why don't you retire, live your life as a rich man peacefully, sit in the box and watch the game? Why bother going out on the field and sweating profusely, or even getting covered in mud when it rains

Lu Wenbin was not affected by the strange looks and ridicule, but controlled the game at his own pace.

After 90 minutes, the score on the big screen was 6-1. Paris Saint-Germain defeated their opponents 5-0 at home and achieved their 10th consecutive victory in Ligue 1.

After the tenth round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain not only did not lose a single game, but also did not draw a single game, winning all 10 league games.

Paris Saint-Germain has basically booked the Ligue 1 title this season. It just depends on how many points Paris can get in the end and whether they can create a new points record and winning streak.

At the same time, this is also Lu Wenbin's 10th consecutive Ligue 1 game in which he scored.

The French Ligue 1 record for consecutive goals is 13 games, set by Masnagueti at Valenciennes in the 1962/1963 season.

Now, Lu Wenbin is only three games away from the entire record.

Moreover, Lu Wenbin's total number of goals in his career also exceeded the 700-goal mark after this game, getting closer and closer to the 1,000-goal club.

After this round of league, Paris Saint-Germain will face Anderlecht in the third round of the Champions League group stage.

The only highlight of this round of games is whether Lu Wenbin can continue to score goals and break his own record of 10 consecutive goals in the Champions League.

As a result, Lu Wenbin did not disappoint. He scored two goals in the 22nd and 57th minutes respectively with a free kick and a long-distance run, completing the record of scoring in 11 consecutive Champions League games across seasons.

In the end, Paris Saint-Germain brought back a 5-0 victory from the away game, winning all three games and accumulating 9 points to continue leading the standings.

Anderlecht had no impact on Paris Saint-Germain at all, and they could only watch Lu Wenbin set a new record against them without being able to do anything.

Lu Wenbin’s legendary journey continues.
