Chapter 0095 - Finalizing the Renewal Contract (Asking for Recommendations, Collections)
Rodrigo sat on the luxurious sofa and crossed his legs to carefully read the twelve-page revised contract, and to tell the truth, the treatment was not bad, with an annual salary of 1.5 million Argentine pesos. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tang Zheng can get about $370,000 a year from River Plate, which is a generous contract for an 18-year-old player.
And then there are appearance fees, goal bonuses, assist bonuses, league championship bonuses, Copa Libertadores championship bonuses, and even Club World Cup championship bonuses, which shows how delicate this contract is.
But Rodrigo didn't think so, he closed the contract and put it back on the luxurious mahogany table, and said with a serious face: "If you had asked my client to sign this contract more than half a month ago, I would have been a hundred willing, but now...... I'm really sorry, but I don't feel the sincerity of your club. ”
Aguilar was a little unhappy, frowned and said: "Tang has only been promoted from the youth team to the first team for two months, this contract is already very reasonable, 1.5 million pesos can be ranked in the middle of the team, looking at the entire A-League league, who is more generous than us?"
Rodrigo naturally didn't believe it, and he waved his hand to interrupt Aquilar's tirade: "I think Boca, Estudiantes de La Plata, Fluminense, Sao Paulo and other teams will definitely be more than happy to pay a release fee of $1.5 million to take Don away, what do you think?"
At this time, Aquilar even wanted to get up and scold his mother, this Rodrigo was too insidious, and he directly came to the bottom of the kettle.
If one and a half million dollars can buy a young player like Tang Zheng, how much he can buy!
However, Aquilar thought that if he and Rodrygo collapsed again, he would talk to other clubs in private, and the club would be the loser, and he didn't want to have a new star being poached less than a year after he took over River Plate, so he forcibly twisted a smile that was more ugly than bitter on his face: "Then how much do you think is appropriate?"
Without hesitation, Rodrigo stretched out his four fingers: "Four million pesos a year." ”
Four million pesos is converted into about one million dollars, and one million dollars is the second tier of the club, which is already close to catching up with the veterans Rosales, Poncio and Ahumada.
If the details of Tang Zheng's contract renewal are leaked, it will definitely cause discord in the locker room.
So Aquilar blurted out: "Impossible!"
This time, Rodrygo did not harden with Aquilar, after all, Tang Zheng is only eighteen years old, and he has played a few beautiful games to put it mildly, if he really gets the middle and upper treatment of the team with this performance, then Aquilar is not suitable to be the chairman.
Negotiation is the art of compromise.
How can we achieve our goals if we don't ask for more?
After half an hour of tug-of-war, Tang Zheng's annual salary was fixed at 2.4 million pesos, which is converted into about 600,000 US dollars, an increase of 10% per year
Immediately, Rodrigo turned his attention to the length of his contract, and he held out three fingers: "Six years is too long, three years! three years at most." ”
"Six years!" Aquilar said, shaking his head.
"It's still the same number, three years!" Rodrigo was determined.
"Mr. Fibino, you must know that we attach great importance to Don, and the six-year contract is very beneficial to his future growth, of course...... If you can convince Don to sign this contract, I can give you an extra commission......"
"In that case. Rodrigo hurriedly interrupted Aquilar, sat up straight, and smiled: "It's not impossible to have a six-year contract, but I have additional conditions." ”
Originally, Aquilar was going to praise Rodrigo for his knowledge of the times, but after hearing Rodrigo's follow-up words, he blew up.
"At least thirty appearances a season when the player is fit?" Aquilar refused without thinking: "It can't be!"
Although Aquilar is the club's first time as club president, he knows that there should be a respectful relationship between the president and the coach.
Coupled with the fact that Rodrygo's conditions are tough, 20 out of 30 games must be starters, and the starting time must not be less than 60 minutes......
Even if he can call the shots for the manager, he doesn't dare to agree, this is too!
What if the performance continues to be bad?
It is the club that suffers, and as a manager, he is even more difficult to blame.
Rodrigo smiled and glanced at Aquilar, who was nearly sixty years old, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Since it is difficult for both of you and me to agree to the conditions, then...... How about a compromise?"
Aquilar thought for half a minute, glared at Rodrigo angrily, and spit out one word for a long time: "Okay." ”
In the end, in terms of the contract period, the two parties agreed to play four and a half years, and Tang Zheng should play no less than 25 games a year when he is in good health, including 15 starters, and the starting game should not be less than 60 minutes, and the total playing time should not be less than 1,500 minutes.

Aquilar glanced at Rodrigo, who was overjoyed, and cursed in his heart: "Idiot!"
To be able to sit in the position of president of the club is a testament to Aquilar's ability to be extraordinary, and the reason why he was able to accept a series of conditions that were ridiculous for Rodrygo was because he had a left hand on his contract.
To avoid long nights, he stood up from his seat and reached out to hold Rodrigo's right hand.
Rodrigo was a little puzzled by Aquilar's performance, and said suspiciously: "Mr. President, what's the matter?"
Aquilar smiled and patted Rodrigo on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since an agreement has been reached, when will Don come over and renew the contract to sign?"
"Huh?" Rodrigo slapped his forehead, it turned out that Chairman Aquilar had misunderstood, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. President, I think you have misunderstood, there are still some details on the contract that need to be discussed in detail." ”
Suddenly, Aquilar had an ominous premonition, could it be...... Does he see the pitfalls in the contract?
"Look......" Rodrigo said, turning to the last page of the contract, pointing to the blank space of the add-on, "Should a release clause be added?"
Aquilar almost spewed out the blood that had been stored for 60 years, he agreed to Rodrigo's seemingly unreasonable demands just to make him take care of one thing or the other, if Tang Zheng signed this contract, it would be equivalent to signing a deed of sale, and the absence of a termination clause in the contract means that there is no suitable transfer fee, and the club will not sell people.
Want to go?
Let's stay until the end of 2012!
By that time, Tang Zheng would be twenty-three!
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Tang Zheng's growth does not meet expectations, it doesn't matter, just casually deal with it and go back to China, and make a sure profit.
But Aquilar's wishful thinking was shattered by Rodrigo......
So his expression is very unnatural, and the conditions of the past have been agreed, and now he will wear a hat of rebellion, as the chairman of the absolute giants of Argentina, River Plate, he can't afford to lose this person!
So he closed his eyes and recuperated, and after half a ring, he gave a number: "The termination fee is 30 million US dollars, and if you can, you can sign the contract in the afternoon." ”
According to the media, it is said that Valencia is interested in Boca Juniors' Banega, and the first round of offers is as high as 13 million euros, Tang Zheng is crushing Banega's performance in the national derby, at least in terms of value, the other party cannot be weaker, otherwise others will think that River Plate players are not as valuable as Boca players.
"No, no, no. Rodrigo shook his head and said, "Up to five million dollars in termination money." ”
Five million dollars?
Aquilar once again had a feeling of wanting to vomit blood, and this bargaining was too much, wasn't it? a total of twenty-five million dollars less.
Now that the European transfer market is a multi-million-euro deal at every turn, what can five million dollars do?
"Five million dollars might have been said 10 years ago, but now it's not possible. ”
"How much do you think it takes to impress you?"
The two began a new round of deceit, fighting wits and courage.
"Two and a half million dollars!"
"Eight million dollars at most!!"
"Why don't you take a step back, I'll take a step back, two million dollars, what do you think?"
"nonono!!10 million dollars at most, no more!"
……
After a tug-of-war that lasted for half an hour, the two sides finally agreed to a termination fee of 15 million US dollars, which is converted into about 10 million euros.
If Tang Zheng's performance can be stable for a long time, he will definitely get the relatives of those local tyrants in Europe, and his income of 15 million US dollars is also very good, after all, Tang Zheng did not spend a penny of the club's transfer fee, and he will make a steady profit!
But this is not over, Rodrigo is still fighting for Tang Zheng's last treatment: "Mr. President, should the signing fee be meant?"
"You're ruthless!"
Even though Aquilar was able to endure it, after hearing Rodrigo's request, it was inevitable that he would lose his temper.
In football, there is an unspoken rule of signing fees, but this price varies from person to person.
For a player like Tang Zheng who didn't spend a dime on the club, the signing fee must be on the high side.
But Aquilar was upset with Rodrigo, and he reminded himself of the extension of Falcao's professional contract two months ago, when Portuguese Jorge Mendes drove him crazy.
In terms of the signing fee, Aquilar and Rodrigo reached a consensus that it is 800,000 Argentine pesos, which is about 200,000 US dollars, which is more reasonable, and can be regarded as compensating Tang Zheng for his excellent performance in the past month and a half......
When the two shook hands, Aquilar finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the negotiation of renewing Tang Zheng's contract was finally over!
If Portuguese Jorge Mendes is the toughest agent he's ever faced, it's Rodrygo, a newcomer to the broker scene, who is in front of him, to finish in the top three.
"That's right, Mr. President. ”
Fibino Rodrigo, who was about to go out, seemed to remember something and turned around.
Chairman Aquilar was stunned, and suddenly became angry: "Can you finish something at once? I'm busy!!"
Rodrigo shrugged his shoulders and said with an innocent face: "I just want to ask, can I help Don find a house......?
