Fox in the Penalty Area

Hu Lixin stood outside the toilet, watching his wife busy in front of the washing machine. She threw the curtains that had just been removed into the washing machine, then poured in Hu Lai's favorite laundry detergent, selected the washing program, and pressed the switch.

She was humming the whole process.

"What are you going to wash at so late... I'm going to sleep." Hu Lixin complained.

"I go to bed later, and I will hang the curtains after washing. I have to go to work tomorrow, so let's go to bed first." Xie Lan said to her husband.

"What am I sleeping? I don't know that the washing machine is as dynamic as a tractor when it is dried?" Hu Lixin said helplessly.

"Close the bedroom door, I will also close the door here, double sound insulation..."

"Didn't you take a day off tomorrow? Can't you come tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow there will be tomorrow's affairs. Tomorrow I will clean all the hygiene at home, wipe the windows, mop the floor, wipe the furniture... Do you have time to wash the curtains and hang the curtains?

"As for?" Hu Lixin pouted, "It's the same as the New Year when he returns home."

Hearing that Xie Lan said sternly: "It is the Chinese New Year. He will follow the team for winter training next Spring Festival, so our family will celebrate the New Year ahead of schedule."

Hu Lixin hummed: "Would you like to post Spring Festival couplets at the door?"

"I was said to be right, I will post the Spring Festival couplets tomorrow, and I will post the word "Fu"!"

"Nervous! It's only early November, where can I buy Spring Festival couplets?"

"Online, I bought them all." Xie Lan pointed to the pile of express delivery at the door.

Hu Lixin sighed, turned and walked to the bedroom, then closed the door and got ready to sleep.

Xie Lan didn't care about her husband's feelings either. She sat on the sofa in the living room, tilted her legs, brushed her mobile phone and waited for the washing machine to wash the curtains.

On the phone is the news of the last round of the Chinese League.

Flash Star lost to Hexi Daqin 1:2 in the away game and was double-killed by his opponents this season. But none of the Shining Star fans cares about this.

Local media and fans have begun to look forward to the new season.

Of course, some people are paying attention to the World Cup at the end of the year.

But this is not what Xie Lan will pay attention to-she only cares about news related to her son.

Unless her son participates in the World Cup, she doesn't care about the world's top football events... The Universe Cup is not as important as her son!

She is reading a post analyzing Hu Lai's position and role in the flash star next season. Although she knows a little about the technical terms, it is not important. She saw the author saying that her son will become the core shooter of the team next season, and the head coach should build team tactics and staffing around him.

This shows that her son is very good, even the head coach is very important.

She still understands such a simple truth.

She looked with a smile, and the gleam of the phone screen reflected on her face. At the same time, a good smell came out of the washing machine and gradually drifted into the living room. It was the smell of Hu Lai's favorite laundry detergent, which she bought and used.

At that time, she will hang the washed curtains back to Hu Lai's room, and the whole room will be filled with a faint fragrance.

I will be very happy when my son comes back.

Xie Lan thought happily.

"Hu Lai will go home tomorrow. When do you plan to negotiate a new contract with the club?"

At the entrance of the rental house, Yong Jun asked Hu Lai.

"Will you come back after vacation? I won't stay at home for too long, I will come back soon." Hu Lai replied. "Director Zhao also arranged targeted training for me."

"I don't even have an agent now. Are you planning to go talk to the club in person?"

"Yeah." Hu Lai nodded.

When Yong Jun personally cooked and invited Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei to dinner, Yong Jun asked Hu Lai euphemistically whether he needed to be his agent.

Then Hu Lai tactfully refused. He said that he had a good friend in high school, and now that he is studying abroad, he has agreed to let him be his agent, so I am sorry...

Yong Jun didn't know if Hu Lai really had such a high school classmate, maybe there was such a thing, maybe it was just an excuse.

Since Hu Lai didn't want to let himself be his agent, Yong Jun didn't force it either.

Now players are accustomed to signing contracts with brokerage companies, which are run by more professional companies, which are much better than their own agents who work alone. If Hu Lai had this idea, it would be normal.

But now that Hu Lai was about to sign a new contract with the club, and there was no agent yet, he realized that maybe Hu Lai told him the truth before, is he really waiting for his high school classmate?

Otherwise, if you just don’t want to let yourself be his agent, it involves signing a contract as an important matter, why don’t you find another agent and have to talk to the club yourself?

The reason why he rejected himself was just because he thought that he would let his high school classmates be agents in the future, but now it would be inconvenient to sign a brokerage contract with himself? For example, in the past few years, I helped him take care of the contract matters, but when his high school classmates returned from school, he had to give way... Does he think it's not good to refuse him?

Thinking of this, Yong Jun said: "Is it okay to see this, Hu Lai? I, I just happened to have a new personal contract with the Flash Star Club recently. Qing Huan was on loan before, and his salary is still from Tamron's. Yes, now I’m going to transfer, and all personal contracts have to be re-negotiated. It depends on whether to entrust me, let me help negotiate a new contract with the club. Anyway, when we talk about one contract, we will talk about two contracts. Let’s sign a single one. The brokerage contract will expire after the negotiation, and it won’t affect the future...Of course, if you need the broker’s help in the future, you can also contact me and we will sign a single contract."

The reason why he is obsessed with being Hu Lai's agent is of course not because he is attracted to Hu Lai's talent, and thinks that it will be profitable to be his agent. It was purely out of the mentality of repaying the gratitude-Hu Lai helped Zhang Qinghuan get back on track. Is this a kindness that can be paid back by asking him to eat a meal?

That's why he wanted to be Hu Lai's agent to help him take care of the contract with the club and other issues, earn him more money, in order to repay him for helping Zhang Qinghuan.

No one hates money, right?

Now he hopes to help Hu Lai negotiate this contract with the club.

And he will not charge a penny commission from it.

Because this is a return of favor, how can we collect money?

But he didn't tell Hu Lai that he was afraid that once he said it, he would be rejected by Hu Lai, which would be embarrassing.

When things are settled, he will return the money to Hu Lai.

Hu Lai was a little surprised when he heard Yong Jun say this: "Can it still be like this?"

"Of course, why not?" Yong Jun asked with a smile. "We signed a contract, and it was agreed in the contract. My brokerage service is limited to this renewal negotiation. When the renewal negotiation ends, there is no contractual relationship between us."

Hu Lai lowered his head in thought for a while, then nodded: "Then please uncle Yong!"

"No problem. Let me first ask if you have any thoughts on personal treatment? For example, what is the minimum annual salary and how much can be accepted? There is also the issue of contract years..."

Without even thinking about it, Hu Lai said directly: "Can you mention the goal award to one goal... 10,000?"

Yong Jun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Hu Lai's first request turned out to be a goal award... The annual salary is the big head, kid!

Seeing Yong Jun in a daze, Hu Lai hesitated: "Can't you, Uncle Yong?"

"Uh...no, although the 10,000 goal prize is a bit high, it's not impossible to talk about..." Yong Jun explained quickly.

"That's fine. If the ten thousand clubs disagree, a minimum of five thousand goals is fine."

"Okay, let me write it down." As he said, Yong Jun took out his mobile phone, opened the memo, and wrote Hu Lai's request on it. "What about the annual salary? What are the requirements for the annual salary?"

"Annual salary... one million?" Hu Lai asked hesitantly.

Hearing what he said, Yong Jun knew that Hu Lai had no idea about this. One million annual salary is an astronomical figure for him, but with his performance, one million annual salary is a figure that the club can easily agree to. Lai Zekai's performance can earn one million annual salary. Given Hu Lai's age and future development space, one million annual salary is simply too cheap, okay?

But if the club can easily agree, it means that a higher annual salary is still possible.

Thinking of this, he put down the phone: "Okay, I understand, I will talk about it, and promise to talk about the next best result as much as possible."

"Thank you Uncle Yong, then." Hu Lai smiled.

The stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Before, he really planned to use the points to exchange for a trial outfit of the Charm Essence Essence Lotion, and then wiped this out and went to the club to negotiate a contract. I wonder if he can negotiate smoothly and get the contract he wants.

And now with Uncle Yong as a professional agent, he doesn't have to waste points.

With this point, he can change more training reels to improve his hard power.

"What are you polite? I would like to thank you. That's it, let's get in touch with WeChat if we have something to do?" Yong Jun said, seeing you again.

During the meal that day, Yong Jun, Hu Lai, and Wang Guangwei both added WeChat to each other.

Hu Lai originally wanted to nod his head, but suddenly remembered something, and quickly said: "Uncle Yong, I want to ask for more signing fees?"

Yong Jun frowned. The signing fee was only available at the time of the transfer. The club gave the signing fee in order to make the player make up his mind to transfer to the franchise. Later, it developed into a contract renewal also requires a signing fee, and the more big-name players, the higher the signing fee, which can even be higher than the annual salary.

It wasn't until the Football Association's salary limit was issued that the signing fee was included in the player's total income for a year, which stopped the sky-high signing fee.

However, because the signing fee is also included in the total annual income, the signing fee and the non-signing fee have a great impact on the annual contract salary.

If you want to talk about a high annual salary, the signing fee may become a point of wrangling for both parties.

"Don't you want it?" Hu Lai asked when he saw him like this.

Yong Jun didn't explain to him right away, but asked: "When I first transferred to Flash Star, was there no signing fee?"

Hu Lai nodded: "Yes, yes, only 30,000..."

Yong Jun almost blurted out "That's it?", but he immediately thought that Hu Lai hadn't proved his worth in Shining Star. In the eyes of the club, he was just a young man who relied on Zhao Kangming's nepotism to join Shining Star. Team players only.

His transfer fee is only half a million, and the signing fee of 30,000 does not seem to be a stingy. After all, some players may not have a signing fee at all.

"The signing fee is related to the annual salary. It is a bit troublesome. If you want a high annual salary, I am afraid you have to make concessions on the signing fee..." Yong Jun explained to Hu Lai.

"I don't want too much signing fee." Hu Lai said quickly.

"How much do you want?"

"Four hundred thousand." Hu Lai said.

"Huh?" Yong Jun's eyes widened.

"Is it too much?" Hu Lai was a little nervous when he saw this.

"No, it's not too much... Are you sure you want it?"

Hu Lai nodded, and then explained: "My family borrowed a sum of money from outside, plus the money I borrowed, and owed a total of 400,000 yuan. I want to use the 400,000 yuan to pay off the debt, and I will always be thinking about it. With this matter..."

That's it... Yong Jun nodded slightly and asked for money to pay off his family's debts instead of spending it to enjoy it. This kid is different from many professional players he has ever seen.

"Okay, I will help as much as possible. It's only a 400,000 yuan signing fee. I believe the club will not be so embarrassed unless they don't want to stay." Yong Jun laughed, "After scoring 11 goals in half a season, the goal they want There are a lot of teams, even the Super League! As long as our manager Dong is not stupid, he should be able to meet the requirements."

"Thank you Uncle Yong, then." Hu Lai's face showed a relieved smile.

"Thank me for what I am doing. If the contract can be negotiated, the biggest credit will be my own, and my outstanding performance has helped me reduce the difficulty of negotiation." Yong Jun did not take credit.

Hu Lai thought of another question: "Then why Lai, who had scored 16 goals, couldn't talk about a new contract?"

"Raizekai is getting older, and the annual salary he wants is too high... Know how much he wants?"

Hu Lai shook his head: "I don't know.

"He wants three million. Hell if the club is willing to give it to him."

"Then me..."

"Different from him, he is still young, and the gap between eleven goals in a half-season and 16 goals in a season is quite big. In the end, I couldn't give an annual salary of three million. "Yong Jun said.

Hu Lai breathed a sigh of relief: "I think one million is enough..."

"That's not even one million. Don't worry, anyway, I will help negotiate a contract as large as possible." Yong Jun waved his hand.

Hu Lai thanked him again before entering the house.

Looking at the closed door, Yong Jun nodded gently.

This child is still childish.

But it is also a good thing that the childishness has not gotten off. It is simpler and purer.

There are not so many intestines.

It's really like the joy of the past.

But Qing Huan eventually became an adult. He hoped that Hu Lai could still maintain his childishness, which may be a good thing for his career.
