I Just Can Score

Club room.

Lei Tixi explained sincerely that the problems faced by signing Zhen Shaolong made Alice understand the huge risks the club had to bear.

He said a lot.

For example, Zhen Shaolong's physical assessment, technical ability, and performance in daily training. He also mentioned Flor, "Flor is the coach of the youth team."

"I've seen it, a nagging old man." Alice commented.

Retig was a little strange, but continued, "When Zhen didn't join the first team, Flor even planned to give up Zhen because he couldn't keep up with the training, I mean the youth team... His physical fitness is too poor, When he entered the first-team physical examination, his assessment was the lowest in the whole team. Of course, I am not saying that a poor body means that he cannot play well. His performance is very good..."

"You said that the old man of the youth team is planning to give up Zhen?" Alice ignored everything else.

"Yeah, he came to me twice, because it was related to the termination of the player, I went to watch the game..."

Retig was about to say, "I thought Zhen had potential, so I let him stay." Alice didn't give him a chance, but just shrugged and said, "My father said when I was young, children who lie will grow up ugly, Didn't expect it to be true."

"...?"

Retig didn't understand, she seemed to be talking about Flor? ugly? Listening to the gossip from the youth team, Zhen Shaolong seems to have said it too, and he was complained by Flor for a long time. Thinking about Flor's face, it really makes sense!

Retig compared himself with Flor, and immediately felt a little better. He still didn't forget what he was doing, so he continued to talk about the club's difficulties.

Unfortunately, his opponent is Alice.

If it were any other agent, she would definitely understand Retig's difficulties. Alice doesn't understand football at all. She can be regarded as an 'amateur fan'. She occasionally watches a football match, but she doesn't have any research on football. .

To put it bluntly, she didn't understand.

"You keep talking about the future, but who knows what the future will be like? Let me see, Zhen Neng's continuous goals prove his worth!"

"But clubs sign for potential."

"No, what you said is too absolute! If you don't perform well now, why talk about the future!"

"certainly……"

"So you understand what I mean, Zhen's performance is very good, I know his current contract, I believe there are many clubs..."

"We really want to keep him!"

"Then don't talk about the difficulties. What I want to hear is sincerity, not whether the future performance is good or not. Those are meaningless to me!"

Retig and Alice engage in a debate.

Retig was talking about the difficulties of the club and the huge risks to be faced when signing the contract. Alice was talking about the current performance regardless of the future. The two were not on the same channel, so the debate naturally had no results.

In the end, the negotiations failed.

Although the negotiation failed, the contract cannot be concluded in one go. Retig sent Alice out of the club, and kept saying that the club was optimistic about Zhen Shaolong.

He didn't want to see Zhen Shaolong joining another team after a failed negotiation.

A Chinese restaurant in Holy Spirit Field.

Zhen Shaolong sat next to the glass window, the German-style Chinese food was not very tasty, he was a little sad to eat it, but Alice on the opposite side was enjoying it, maybe because of the delicious food, he resisted the discomfort of the taste, and swallowed the food with difficulty Down.

Alice talked about the negotiations in the morning, and she was prepared for failure. In fact, even if it went well, she decided to delay it a few times. Only when she has the initiative can she negotiate the most favorable contract.

"They want to sign you very much, I can see it. But they are afraid of taking risks, and I have almost reached the bottom line." Alice reported the results.

"What's the bottom line?"

"Five years, 1.6 million euros."

"Three hundred and twenty thousand euros a year?" Zhen Shaolong asked, "Is it before tax or after tax?"

"After tax, of course!" Alice's expression was a little surprised, "Your calculation skills are really good, I have to think for a long time before I can figure it out."

Zhen Shaolong twitched the corner of his mouth, silently accepting the praise.

After Alice explained the situation in detail, Zhen Shaolong had almost understood the situation. The club can offer two kinds of contracts——

One is a five-year contract; the other is a three-year contract.

The salary of a five-year contract will be higher, and the salary three years ago is relatively poor. Five years is two years more than three years, and the value of a five-year contract is even double that of a three-year contract.

From the perspective of security, a long term is also very beneficial. For example, if you perform poorly for a long time, or even become a marginal player, you can continue to receive salary with a contract guarantee, which can last for five years.

In addition, the club must also consider the overall value of the contract.

The five-year contract is the best, and the overall value is quite high. The biggest contract that the club can offer is about 1.6 million euros after tax for five years.

Zhen Shaolong doesn't care about the number of years. If the system is in hand, the performance will definitely not be bad. "Three years is fine, but the salary must not be less." He asked, "If it is a three-year contract, what is the maximum salary? "

"According to the logic of today's manager, the salary for signing for three years is lower." Alice said helplessly, "He said a lot of things, but I don't want to understand. Who cares? Ignore these rules, if If it is shorter and asks for a higher salary, they will definitely agree. I think... If it is three years, 1.2 million euros, it should be possible to negotiate."

"One million and two hundred thousand euros, that is, one year four hundred thousand euros." Zhen Shaolong calculated and was satisfied with the salary, but immediately wanted to ask a question, especially emphasizing, "When we talk next time, we must increase the salary." Goal bonus clause. I hope to have a higher goal bonus, and the higher the better."

Alice was not in a hurry to go back to talk, but returned to the capital Berlin. She was studying economics at the Free University of Berlin, and she was considered a half-elite top student.

Until three days later, Alice came to Hamburg again. She didn't meet Zhen Shaolong, but went directly to the St. Pauli Club, and started a war of words with Leitig again.

This time the harvest was relatively large, and the goal bonus was easily negotiated.

German football has always regarded goal bonuses as a necessary folklore. The famous star Klinsmann talked about goal bonuses, "When a player scores a certain number of goals within a period of time, he can Getting a bonus motivates the players."

Every German club will have a goal bonus, because the league level is different, the club's economic situation is different, and the contracts of players and players are also different, and the goal bonus is also different.

For the German Bundesliga level, the higher goal bonus can reach 4,000 euros, while the lower one is only 2,000 euros.

In the St. Pauli club, for players whose contracts do not stipulate bonuses, the highest goal bonus is 3,000 euros. Alice won the highest 4,000 euros for Zhen Shaolong, and there is no fixed time limit. The ball will be able to correspond to the goal bonus.

But the negotiations failed to reach an agreement, the main dispute is the salary issue.

Alice proposed to sign a three-year contract, but the monthly salary must reach 35,000 euros, which means the annual salary after tax is 420,000 euros.

Retig stuck at 30,000 euros and didn't let go, "It's only a three-year contract, and 30,000 euros is already the upper limit."

"We don't reject the five-year contract." Alice replied.

"With this salary, five years is impossible!" Retig refused directly. He had long forgotten the "rule of high salary for long-term contracts", but 400,000 euros a year, more than two million euros in five years, far exceeded bottom line.

Although the negotiations were fruitless, Retig still sent Alice to the gate of the club, showing enthusiasm. Alice also had a smile on her face, as if there was a good result.

At the end of the discussion, the two of them almost knew the bottom line and reached a certain tacit understanding.

The focus is on tomorrow's game.

St. Pauli will be at the Miller Gate Stadium, ushering in the challenge of Hertha Berlin.

This is the quarter-finals of the German Cup.

If Zhen Shaolong can continue to perform well, Alice can easily take the initiative, and negotiating a satisfactory contract will not be a problem.

On the contrary, the initiative is inclined to Retig.
