At present, the fourth stage of the China League One is in full swing. As a newly promoted team, Zibo Cuju has won consecutive draws in the first two rounds of the game. With five rounds left in the league, it has become closer and closer to the goal of relegation. However, under the stadium, the team was in a storm off the court. According to people familiar with the matter, before the first phase began, Zibo Cuju had held a training camp in Chengdu. During this period, accommodation and dining were both at the Chengdu Weiers Hotel, but the fee has not been paid so far, and the hotel has taken legal measures to intervene.
In response to the above situation, a reporter from the New Yellow River Client interviewed He Shihua, the head of the hotel manager and the head of the Zibo Cuju trustee. There was considerable controversy over the key details of the two sides.
Hotel party:
.45 million yuan debt recovery has been filed, and the entire Zibo Cuju team has been sued to court
The Wales Hotel on Chengdu Air Road is less than two kilometers away from the Sheffield United Training Base. Due to its convenient geographical location, in March this year, the Zibo Cuju team chose to stay here during the training camp in Chengdu. According to the hotel manager, as of today, the fee of about 450,000 yuan, including room and meal expenses, has not been paid.
"When the team checked in, our hotel signed a contract with the club. The hotel asked the club to promptly make the prepayment as agreed after the team checked in. The fees must be paid out before leaving the hotel after the first phase of the league starts in April, and the reserved luggage room will be settled once a month or the entire fee will be paid in advance. These contents are indicated in the contract." The person in charge said.
However, the person in charge said that the Zibo Cuju Football Club did not implement the agreement between the two parties. In late April, the entire Zibo Cuju team left the hotel and continued to live in two more rooms in order to store their luggage. In more than half a year, the hotel has not only not received any payment but also bears the cost of two rooms.
"In more than a month starting from March 20, forty or fifty people's morning, noon and evening meals and accommodation were all consumed by us. After they left in April, the club promised to settle the cost of their meals and accommodation for our hotel, and said in the middle that they would give it when they had money, and there was nothing to say in the later period. In the past six months, the hotel took the initiative to find Zibo Cuju managers to solve the problem based on communication and negotiation, but it was useless." He said.
"This year, the epidemic has been repeated and it is difficult for us to do physical operations. For this reason, our hotel is affected and the operating pressure is also very high." The person in charge introduced. In desperation, the hotel chose to take the legal approach. "Through our company's lawyer team, we have now sued everyone directly in the People's Court of Shuangliu District, Chengdu. There are more than 40 players, coaching staff members, managers and corresponding related personnel consumed by Zibo Cuju Club and the club. We have communicated with the lawyers and are confident that we will win this lawsuit when the evidence is complete."
At present, Zibo Cuju is fighting in the Chengdu competition area, and the luggage of most players of the team, the computers of the coaching staff and medical equipment are still sealed in the room that was reserved. To this end, the players from Zibo Cuju made more than a dozen calls to the hotel and wanted to return their luggage, but were all rejected.
"According to our hotel's understanding, Zibo Cuju Club returned to the double-stream training camp in late October because of the fourth phase of 2021 in the Chengdu competition area, and checked in a hotel next to us. The boss and managers of the club were here and did not contact us to clarify the debt. It was as if nothing had happened. It was useless to say more. The hotel said that the company's lawyer team would handle the next thing with full authority." He said. He Shihua, the head of the custodian of
: The cost of
is not more than 100,000 yuan. The other party is welcome to sue
. Regarding the relevant situation introduced by the Welsh hotel, the reporter contacted He Shihua, the head of the custodian of Zibo Cuju, for verification. Before the start of this season, the former investor of Zibo Cuju signed a contract with Sichuan Huakun, who became the team's investor this season. As the boss of Sichuan Huakun, He Shihua also became the custodian controller of Zibo Cuju this season.
"More than 400,000? It definitely doesn't have that much! We don't have a contract, if he feels he owes money, take out the contract."He Shihua did not agree with the situation introduced by the Welsh Hotel.
He recalled that before the first stage began, the team had stayed at the Welsh Hotel for about 20 days. Some of the fees had been paid. "We paid the money when we talked, and several of the trial players were responsible for the fees. Later, they told our club four times. At first, they said that there were tens of thousands of dollars but they said that they didn’t give them. After the second time, they said that they said that they were 200,000, the third time, they said that they were about 300,000, and the fourth time, they said that they were more than 400,000. "He Shihua said.
Regarding the dispute arising from this related expenses, He Shihua said: "I have never seen a contract. Last time we asked: First, which club will show you the contract signed by you. Second, I incurred a fee later and gave me the voucher. Third, the details of the contract cost a day and how to sign it must be provided. "
He Shihua believes that the total price of the relevant fees will not exceed 100,000 yuan, "We have also replied to the hotel, and we welcome them to sue us. "
In addition, He Shihua expressed his opinion on the issue of reserving rooms, and he did not make any request at the time. "I said we will not leave rooms, please find a warehouse for me to put them in. Otherwise, it would be unsuitable to charge for the items to be put on, and I would not agree with this part of the fee. ”
According to the information provided by Chengdu Weiers Hotel, they have submitted civil lawsuits to the People's Court of Shuangliu District, Chengdu. There are 42 defendants, including Zibo Cuju Football Co., Ltd., and the lawsuit requests the relevant defendants to pay room fees, meal fees, interest and other fees totaling 458,323 yuan. For contracts and other information, the hotel said that it is inconvenient to provide them. At present, the lawsuit is in the review stage.
