Club Lounge.

Retich was full of sincerity to explain the problems faced by signing Zhen Shaolong, and let Alice understand the huge risks that the club has to take.

He said a lot.

For example, Zhen Shaolong's physical assessment, technical ability, and performance in weekday training, and by the way, Flor was mentioned, "Flor is the coach of the youth team. ”

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

Curious, Retich continued, "When Zhen wasn't in the first team, Flor was even going to give up on Zhen because he couldn't keep up with the training, I mean the youth team...... His physical fitness is too poor, when he enters the first team, the assessment is the lowest in the team, of course I don't mean that he can't play well because he is not physically fit, he has performed very well......

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

"yes, he approached 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, just shrugged her shoulders and said, "When I was a child, my father said that lying children will grow ugly, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

“……？”

Retig didn't understand, it seems to be talking about Flor? Ugly? Listening to the gossip on the youth team's side, Zhen Shaolong seems to have said that he has been resented by Flor for a long time, thinking about Flor's face, it really makes sense!

Retig contrasted himself with Flor and was immediately relieved, but he continued to talk about the club's difficulties without forgetting what he was doing.

Unfortunately, his opponent is Alice.

If it were another agent, you would definitely understand Retig's difficulties, Lovely Lise doesn't know anything about football at all, she can be considered an 'amateur fan', and occasionally watch a football game, but she doesn't have any research on football.

To put it bluntly, she doesn't understand.

"You're talking about the future, but who knows what the future holds? If you want me to see, Zhen Neng's continuous goals prove his value! ”

'But the club signed for the potential.'

"No, you're saying it absolutely! If you don't perform well now, what is the future! ”

"Of course ......"

"So you understand what I mean, Zhen is doing very well, 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 it will be good or bad in the future, and those don't mean anything to me!"

Rhaegi and Alice have a debate.

Retig was talking about the difficulties of the club, the huge risks to face when signing, and Alice was talking about the current performance regardless of the future, and the two were not on the same channel, so the debate naturally did not lead to anything.

In the end, the negotiations ended in failure.

Although the negotiations failed, the contract was not negotiated at one time, and Retich sent Alice out of the club, and kept saying that the club was optimistic about Zhen Shaolong.

He didn't want to see a negotiation fail, causing Zhen Shaolong to join other teams.

————

A Chinese restaurant in Holy Spirit Ye.

Zhen Shaolong sat by the glass window, the taste of German-style Chinese food was not very good, he was a little sad to eat, Alice opposite was relishing, maybe because of the beautiful food, he endured the discomfort of taste and swallowed the food with difficulty.

Alice talked about the morning negotiations, and was prepared for failure, in fact, even if it went well, she decided to drag it out a few times, and only when she had the initiative could she negotiate the most favorable contract.

"They want to sign you, I can tell. But they were afraid to take risks, and I almost hit the bottom line. Alice reported the results.

"What's the bottom line?"

"Five years, 1.6 million euros."

"Thirty and twenty thousand euros in one Chinese New Year's Eve?" Zhen Shaolong asked, "Is it before or after tax?" ”

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

Zhen Shaolong tugged at the corners of his mouth and silently accepted the praise.

Waiting for Alice to explain the situation carefully, Zhen Shaolong also understood almost everything, and the club can provide two kinds of contracts-

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

The salary of the five-year contract will be higher, the salary of three years ago is relatively worse, and the five-year contract is two more years than the three-year, and the contract value of the five-year period is even twice as high as the three-year term.

From a security point of view, it is also very beneficial to have a long period of time, such as poor performance for a long time, or even becoming a fringe player, and you can continue to get paid with a contract guarantee for five years.

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

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

Zhen Shaolong doesn't care about the number of years, the system in hand doesn't say that I have it in the world, and the performance will definitely not be bad, "Three years is okay, but the salary can't be less." "If it's a three-year contract, what is the maximum salary?" ”

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

"One million and two million euros, that is, four hundred thousand euros a year." Zhen Shaolong calculated it and was satisfied with the salary, but immediately wanted a question, especially emphasized, "The next time we talk about it, we must add the goal bonus clause." I want to have a higher goal bonus and go for it as high as possible. ”

————

Alice did not rush back to talk, but returned to the capital Berlin, where she studied economics at the Free University of Berlin and was considered a half-elite student.

It wasn't until three days later that Alice came to Hamburg again, she didn't meet Zhen Shaolong, and went directly to the St. Pauli Club, where she started a war of words with Retici again.

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

German football has always regarded goal bonuses as a necessary folklore, and the famous star Jurgen Klinsmann once talked about goal bonuses, "Players can get a bonus every time they score a certain number of goals for a period of time, which will motivate players." ”

Every German club will have a goal bonus because of the different league levels, different club finances, different contracts between players and players, and there are also differences in goal bonuses.

In the Bundesliga, the higher goal prize can reach 4,000 euros, while the lower one is only 2,000 euros.

In the St. Pauli club, the maximum goal bonus for players who do not have a bonus stipulated in the contract is 3,000 euros, and Alice won the highest 4,000 euros for Zhen Shaolong, and there is no upper limit for a fixed period of time, that is, how many goals scored can correspond to the goal bonus.

But the negotiations failed to reach an agreement, and the main dispute was over the salary.

Alice offered to sign a three-year contract, but the monthly salary must reach 35,000 euros, or 420,000 euros a year after tax.

Retich stuck on 30,000 euros and did not let go, "It's just a three-year contract, and 30,000 euros is already the upper limit." ”

"We are not turning down a five-year contract." Alice replied.

"If it's this salary, it's impossible in five years!" Retich refused directly, he had long forgotten the 'rule of high salary for a long time', but 400,000 euros a year and more than 2 million euros in five years far exceeded the bottom line in his heart.

Although the negotiations were inconclusive, Retig sent Alice to the gate of the club, showing enthusiasm, and Alice also had a smile on her face, as if something good had come to an end.

In the end, the two talked about it, and they almost knew the bottom line, and they also reached a certain tacit understanding.

The focus is on tomorrow's game.

St. Pauli will welcome Hertha Berlin at the Müller Gate Stadium.

It's the quarter-finals of the German Cup.

If Zhen Shaolong can continue to perform well, Alice can easily get the initiative, and it is not a problem to negotiate a satisfactory contract.

On the contrary, the initiative is tilted in favor of Retig.
