Chapter 58: Flight to Frankfurt

The contract is in triplicate, in German, English and Chinese.

Zheng Zhi can only understand the English and Chinese versions, German is ignorant, he is not a language genius, being proficient in English is already quite awesome, and it is not possible to see such a professional level of contract.

Of course, if he were to play in Germany, he would have to learn German seriously. The more languages you know, the easier it will be to communicate with your teammates at the club.

Fortunately, he now has Wu Di, a German speaker, and an English lawyer, so there is no problem in reading the contract.

In particular, this lawyer is not an ordinary lawyer, he is well versed in European law, and has been dealing with Chinese clients and Europe for many years.

Of course, the contract cannot be signed here, it can only be discussed here, discussed here, and if you want to sign a contract in the end, you have to go to Frankfurt.

In the middle, you have to go through a strict medical examination.

In charge of the negotiations was Eintracht Frankfurt's deputy director of transfers, Fiori. The man was in his forties, tall and thin, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his pointed nose.

Fiori first read the 11-page contract in English from beginning to end, and explained it to everyone in between, so you can imagine how rigorous his approach was.

The things on the contract were pretty much discussed last night.

There was no disagreement on some of the minor terms, but there were differences of opinion on the length of the contract, with Eintracht Frankfurt hoping for five years and Wu Di insisting on four years, but in the end Fiori made a compromise.

Then there is the issue of annual salary, Wu Di's original plan was to strive for a pre-tax annual salary between 70~1 million marks, but was rejected by Fiori.

"It's impossible for a new player who has just joined the club to get this salary, especially a young player. Fiori patiently explained.

"You know, it's too risky to give such a high annual salary all at once, but the annual salary is not dead, if you perform well in the first year, then we will talk about a raise in the second year, and the same is true in the third year. Eintracht Frankfurt will not treat any player who has contributed to the club. ”

Braggart.

Wu Di's heart immediately blanked. If he really believed this, he wouldn't be called Wu Di.

Only he can fool people, where is it the turn of others to fool him.

"Mr. Fiori, then you have to see if this player is worth the price."

When you give this reason, it proves that you have no faith in us. If this is not the case, why should such conditions be prescribed? ”

Wu Di asked rhetorically.

"This ......"

Wu Di didn't wait for him to speak, and continued: "I believe that the scouts of other clubs in Europe will not be wrong, and they are willing to provide us with such treatment, it is not that we have no choice, but there are too many choices, we just trust Eintracht Frankfurt FC more, so we are sitting here to talk." In fact, the conditions we offered were already quite sincere, and we did not follow Yang Chen's conditions, if that was the case, it would be another matter. ”

"Our time is precious, Mr. Fiori, if your club is really sincere in signing Zheng Zhi, then show enough sincerity, otherwise we will have to talk to the other three clubs. 800,000 marks is indispensable. ”

"Good goods, don't worry about no one wanting."

"There is an old Chinese saying that the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, let alone now."

"The most important thing is that you have to make it clear that Zheng Zhi is a free agent! Tell me, where to pick up this big bargain? ”

Belch!

Fiori was stunned for a moment, and his heart had met a master negotiator, and he had no intention of giving in at all.

Of course, Frankfurt wants to take Zheng Zhi, there is no doubt about it, but it is just a matter of how much the annual salary is given.

Eintracht Frankfurt wanted to treat Zhang Zhi as an ordinary young player and give young players a salary, but this was impossible.

"I'm going to call the headquarters to discuss."

"Don't worry." Wu Di's right hand pressed down twice.

"You just discuss the signing fee with the headquarters, and we also ask for a signing fee of 300,000 marks, which is also indispensable."

Fiori was completely confused.

finally looked at Wu Di with admiration, Wu Di in front of him looked like he was in his thirties, but why was the negotiation so awesome?

He was stunned for a few seconds, and finally walked out with his mobile phone to call headquarters.

After about 10 minutes, he walked back in.

"Headquarters basically has no opinion on your request, but there is an additional request."

Fiori's eyes looked a little evasive when he looked at Wu Di, maybe he didn't even want to face Wu Di.

When you encounter such a master negotiator, you know that you are not an opponent, but you still have to talk about it head-on.

"Once we make a second transfer, we can get 20 per cent of the transfer fee."

"This can be discussed."

"Anything else?"

"There are also personal image rights that must be attributed to the club."

"Nope." Wu Di resolutely denied it.

"The personal image rights must belong to the individual player."

“……”

"This ......"

“50%?”

"Nope."

“20%?”

"Nope."

"There will be no concessions on this one."

Wu Di said three nos in a row, and there was no room for maneuver at all.

Fiori is about to collapse, who the hell is he encountering?

Zheng Zhi secretly snickered on the side, about the portrait right, he actually discussed it with Wu Di.

In this era, I may not have paid much attention to image rights, but then it was very scary, especially for Chinese players......

So this article will never be compromised.

Wu Di actually didn't really understand why he had to bite this one, but later Zheng Zhi told him that it was because of the Chinese market......

In the end, Fiori still lost the negotiations, and it was a complete defeat.

The two sides quickly finalized the contract, and waited to go to Frankfurt to complete the medical examination and officially sign the contract.

Everything went better than expected......

Soon, under the coordination of relevant leaders, Zheng Zhi and the others quickly got a passport to Germany, and he missed going to Thailand to play the Asian Youth Championship with the national youth team.

However, his name was not removed from the squad of the national youth team, and he still belonged to one of them. If he is able to make it back from Eintracht Frankfurt, he can still continue to play for the national youth team.

At this time, "Sports Weekly" was the first to break the news - Zheng Zhi was about to join the German Frankfurt club on a free transfer and became teammates with Yang Chen.

"Sports Weekly" also sent Yan Qiang to follow Zheng Zhi and them to Frankfurt, Germany......

As soon as the news came out, the whole country celebrated. I didn't expect China to have another player who went to Europe to stay abroad, and it was also a Frankfurt club in the five major leagues......
