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

The whole time, she was humming.

"What are you washing so late...... It's time to sleep. Hu Lixin complained.

"I'll go to bed later, and I'll hang the curtains when I'm done. I have to go to work tomorrow, so let's go to sleep first. Sheylan said to her husband.

"What am I sleeping? I don't know that this washing machine moves as loudly as a tractor when it is spin dry? Hu Lixin said helplessly.

"Close the bedroom door, I'll close the door here too, double soundproofing......"

"Didn't you take a day off tomorrow? Can't you wash it tomorrow? ”

"Tomorrow there will be things for tomorrow, and tomorrow I will clean all the house, clean the windows, mop the floor, and wipe the furniture...... Say I still have time to wash the curtains and hang the curtains? ”

"As for it?" Hu Lixin pouted, "When he goes home, it's like the New Year." ”

Hearing this, Xie Lan said: "It's the New Year, and he will go to winter training with the team during the Spring Festival next year, so our family will celebrate the New Year in advance." ”

Hu Lixin snorted: "Then do you want to post Spring Festival couplets at the door?" ”

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

"Nerves! It's only the beginning of November, where to buy Spring Festival couplets? ”

"On the Internet, I've bought it all." Xie Lan pointed to the pile of couriers in front of his house.

Hu Lixin sighed, turned around and walked to the bedroom, then closed the door and prepared for sleep.

Xie Lan didn't care about her husband's feelings, she sat on the sofa in the living room, crossed Erlang's legs, swiped 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 A of Shining Stars.

Shining Star lost 1:2 away to Hexi Daqin and was double-killed by the opponent this season. But none of the Twinkle fans cared about it.

Local media and fans alike are looking forward to the new season.

Of course, there are also people who are watching the World Cup at the end of the year.

But that's not what Sheeran will pay attention to - she only cares about the news related to her son.

Unless her son participates in the World Cup, she doesn't care about any of the top events in world football...... It's the Universe Cup, and it's not as important as your own son!

She was reading a post analyzing Hulai's status and role in the shining star next season. While she didn't know much about the jargon, it didn't matter, she saw that the author said that her son would be the team's core scorer next season, and that the head coach should be building the team's tactics and personnel around him.

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

She still understands such a simple truth.

She smiled, the glimmer of her phone's screen on her face. At the same time, a good smell came out of the washing machine and gradually wafted into the living room, which was Hulai's favorite smell of laundry detergent, which she had bought and used in the first place.

When the time comes, she will hang the washed curtains back in Hulai'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 to herself.

"Hulay will be home tomorrow, so when are you going to negotiate a new contract with the club?"

At the door of the rental house, Yongjun asked Hu Lai.

"Are you coming back from vacation? I won't be staying home long and will be back sooner. Hulay replied. Coach Zhao also arranged targeted training for me. ”

"Now I don't even have an agent, are you going to talk to the club in person?"

"Hmm." Hulai nodded.

On that day, when Yongjun personally cooked and invited Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei to dinner, Yongjun euphemistically asked Hu Lai if he needed to be his agent.

Then he was politely rejected by Hulai. He said that he had a good friend in high school, and now he is studying abroad, and he has promised to let the other party be his agent, so he is sorry......

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

Since Hu Lai was unwilling to let himself be his agent, Yongjun did not force it.

Now the players are used to signing with an agency and being run by a more professional company, which is much better than a solo agent like themselves. If Hulai had this idea, it would be normal.

But now that he saw that Hulai was about to sign a new contract with the club, and he didn't even have an agent, he realized that maybe Hulai was telling him the truth before, and he was really waiting for his high school classmate?

Otherwise, if you just don't want to be his agent, then when it comes to such an important thing as signing a contract, 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, I have helped him take care of contract matters in the past few years, but when his high school classmates return from school, he has to give way...... Did he think it was bad to reject him?

Thinking of this, Yongjun said, "Can you see if this works, Hu Lai? As for me, I recently had to negotiate a new personal contract with the Shining Star Club. Qing Huan was on loan before, and his salary was still given by Tenglong, but now he wants to transfer, and all his personal contracts have to be renegotiated. Let's see if you want to entrust me and let me help negotiate a new contract with the club, anyway, one contract is a negotiation, and two contracts are also a negotiation. We sign a one-time brokerage contract, and after negotiating this contract, the contract expires, and it will not affect the future...... Of course, if there is anything that needs to be discussed with the agent in the future, you can also come to me, and we will sign a single contract. ”

The reason why he is obsessed with being Hulai's agent is, of course, not because he likes Hulai's talent and thinks that it will be profitable to be his agent in the future. It's purely out of the mentality of repaying the favor - Hu Lai helped Zhang Qinghuan get back on track, is this a kindness that can be repaid by inviting him to a meal?

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

No one hates money, does they?

Now he wants to help Hulay negotiate his contract with the club.

And he doesn't take a penny commission from it.

Because this is a return of favors, how can you collect money?

But he didn't tell Hulai, he was afraid that if he said it, Hulai would reject it, and it would be embarrassing.

When the matter is settled, he will return the money to Hulai.

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

"Of course you can, why not?" Yongjun asked with a smile. "We signed a contract, and it was agreed in the contract that my brokerage service was limited to this renewal negotiation, and after the renewal negotiation was over, there would be no contractual relationship between us."

Hu Lai lowered his head and pondered for a while, then nodded: "Then please Uncle Yong!" ”

"No problem. Let me start by asking if you have any thoughts on the treatment of individuals? For example, what is the minimum annual salary and how much can you accept? There is also the question of the length of the contract......"

Hulai didn't even think about it, so he said directly: "Can you mention the goal award to a goal...... Ten thousand? ”

Yongjun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Hu Lai's first request to be a goal award...... The annual salary is the big one, kid!

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

"Uh...... No, although the goal prize of 10,000 is a bit high, it is not impossible to talk about ......," Yongjun quickly explained.

"That's fine, if the 10,000 club doesn't agree, the minimum 5,000 goals will do."

"Okay, I'll take note." As he spoke, Yongjun took out his mobile phone, opened the memo, and wrote down Hu Lai's request on it. "What about the annual salary? What are the requirements for an annual salary? ”

"Annual salary...... Million? Hulai asked with some hesitation.

When Yongjun heard him say this, he knew that Hu Lai actually had no concept of this. An annual salary of one million is an astronomical amount for him, but with his performance, a million annual salary is a very easy number to agree with in the eyes of the club. Lai Zekai can get an annual salary of one million for such a performance, with Hulai's age and future development space, a million annual salary is simply too cheap, okay?

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

Thinking of this, he put down his phone: "Okay, I understand, I'll talk, promise to try to talk about the next best result." ”

"Then thank you, Uncle Yong." Hulai laughed.

The stone of his heart fell to the ground.

Before, he really planned to use his points to exchange for a trial pack of charm essence lotion, and then wiped this to negotiate a contract with the club, I don't know if he can negotiate smoothly and get the contract he wants.

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

With these points, he can exchange for more training scrolls to improve his hard power.

"You're welcome, I want to thank you. That's it, let's have something to contact on WeChat? Yongjun said, I want to see you again.

At dinner that day, Yongjun, Hu Lai, and Wang Guangwei all added WeChat to each other.

Hu Lai was about to nod, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "That Uncle Yong, do I want to ask for another signing fee?" ”

Yongjun frowned, the signing fee was originally only available at the time of transfer, and the club would give this signing fee in order to make the player make up his mind to transfer and join. Later, it developed into a signing fee for contract renewal, and the more big-name players are, the higher the signing fee, even higher than the annual salary.

It wasn't until the Football Association's salary limit order 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 income of the year, the signing fee and the non-signing fee have a great impact on the annual salary of the contract.

If you want to negotiate a high annual salary, I am afraid that the signing fee will become a point of contention between the two parties.

"Isn't it good?" When Hulai saw him like this, he asked.

Yongjun didn't explain to him immediately, but asked: "When I first transferred to Shining Star, was there no signing fee?" ”

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

Yongjun almost blurted out, "That's it? But he immediately thought that Hu Lai had not yet proved his value in the flash star at that time, and in the eyes of the club, he was just a youth team player who relied on Zhao Kangming's nepotism to join the flash star.

His transfer fee is only 500,000, and the signing fee of 30,000 yuan does not seem to be a pick, after all, some players may not have a signing fee at all.

"The signing fee is related to the annual salary, which is a bit troublesome, and if you want a high annual salary, I'm afraid you have to make concessions on the signing fee......," Yongjun explained to Hu Lai.

"I don't want too many signing fees." Hu Lai hurriedly said.

"How much do you want?"

"Four hundred thousand." Hulai said.

"Huh?" Yongjun's eyes widened.

"Is it too much?" Seeing this, Hulai was a little apprehensive.

"No, it's too much...... Are you sure that's all there is to it? ”

Hu Lai nodded, and then explained: "My family borrowed a sum of money from outside, plus the money I borrowed myself, I owe a total of 400,000. I want to pay off the debt with this 400,000 yuan, and I have to keep thinking about this matter all the time......"

I see...... Yongjun nodded slightly, asking for money to pay off his family's debts, not to squander and enjoy, this kid was different from many professional players he had seen.

"Okay, I'll try to get it. It's just a signing fee of $400,000, and I'm sure the club won't be so embarrassed unless they don't want to stay. Yongjun said with a smile, "After scoring eleven goals in half a season, I want a lot of teams, even the Chinese Super League!" As long as our Dong manager is not stupid, he should be able to meet the requirements. ”

"Then thank you, Uncle Yong." A relieved smile appeared on Hulai's face.

"Thank me for what I did, if the contract can be negotiated, the biggest credit is my own, and it is my outstanding performance that helps me reduce the difficulty of negotiation." Yongjun does not take credit.

Hulai thought of another question: "Then why can't Brother Lai negotiate a new contract after scoring 16 goals?" ”

"Lai Zekai is old, and the annual salary he asks for is too high...... Know how much he wants? ”

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

"He wants three million. To hell with the club's willingness to give it to him. ”

"Then I'm ......"

"It's different from him, he's still young, and the difference between 11 goals in half a season and 16 goals in a season is still quite big. In the end, I can't afford to ask for three million a year. Yongjun said.

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

"That's not a million. Don't worry about it, I'll negotiate a contract as big as possible anyway. Yongjun waved his hand.

Hulay thanked him again and entered the house.

Looking at the door that had been closed, Yongjun nodded slightly.

This kid is still childish.

But it's also a good thing that the childishness hasn't fallen off, it's simpler and purer.

Not so many fancy intestines.

It's really like Qinghuan back then.

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