Chapter 90: Signing Hoffenheim

In the process of contract negotiation between Lu Wenbin and Hope, in addition to salary, contract length, and translation issues, there were also accommodation, visas, and Lu Chongxin had to send Lu Wenbin to Germany to settle down before returning to China.

Fortunately, as a wealthy man, Hope will not care. Otherwise, the general club may ask Lu Wenbin to hire a translator, find his own accommodation, apply for a visa by himself, and Lu Chongxin's round-trip air ticket money will not be reimbursed.

If these are all operated by Hoffenheim FC, it will be much easier to handle, and it will not cost Lu Wenbin money.

And Lu Wenbin also wanted to play in Germany because he wanted to play football, so he would not mention any other unreliable conditions, and the two sides successfully completed the basic contract negotiations.

After a day of communication, Lu Wenbin and Hope basically reached an agreement, and Hope called back to China and asked Hoffenheim FC to fax a contract template.

Then, after slightly modifying the agreement between the two parties, Claire found a large law firm in Tianjin with someone who was fluent in German, and translated the German contract into Chinese for Lu Wenbin and his parents to see.

After confirming that the things on the contract are agreed upon by both parties and there are no pitfalls, the two parties can officially sign the contract.

This matter has been watched by the Chinese media.

In Brazil, it may be that a player signing to a Bundesliga club will not cause any waves at all.

But in China, even if it is not a blockbuster, it can be regarded as a relatively important news in Chinese football.

What's more, Lu Wenbin is also a high school amateur player who has never entered a professional club or participated in a professional league, and he directly joined a European club, which is even more legendary.

Chinese journalists have long asked Hope to hold a press conference when he signed the contract, and Hope agreed.

The demographics and market behind the Chinese players are coveted by all European clubs.

If you don't have a chance, since you have signed a Chinese player, Hope doesn't mind using this signing opportunity to make more noise among the Chinese media and fans, and has the opportunity to learn from Real Madrid to make money in China in the future.

Of course, translating the contract, preparing for the signing ceremony, contacting a notary, etc., is not something that can be done in a short time. After another two days of delay, the two parties reached an agreement on all matters of the contract and were ready to sign the contract.

As for the later application for passports, visas, etc., it will take a lot of time, and Lu Wenbin and his father will have to wait for some time to really set foot on German soil!

However, the contract must be signed first. Otherwise, the summer transfer period on the German side will end on August 31, and no more players can be signed!

On August 30, 2007, the penultimate day before the end of the European summer transfer period, Dietmar Hope held a press conference at a five-star hotel in Tianjin, announcing that 17-year-old Lu Wenbin, a 17-year-old from Meitan County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, China, had officially joined the German professional football club Hoffenheim.

The press conference was attended by 20 or 30 media outlets, including CCTV sports channels and several national newspapers and websites.

Of course, Guizhou is the one with the most media from a single province.

Guizhou TV Station, Guizhou Daily, Guizhou Metropolis Daily, Guiyang Evening News, Zunyi TV Station, Zunyi Evening News, and even the Propaganda Department of the Meitan County Party Committee all rushed over with reporters from Meitan TV and Meitan Daily.

There are too few professional players in Guizhou, and the most famous is probably the former international player Li Bing, but Li Bing has retired early.

As for Meitan County, there has never been a professional player, and at this time, Lu Wenbin was born, and he jumped from a high school amateur player to Europe, which is really a step to the sky.

It is no wonder that the media in Guizhou are so neat and active.

After today, Lu Wenbin will really be considered famous across the country.

Under the spotlight of the media, Lu Wenbin and Hope signed the contract in Chinese and German respectively, and Lu Chongxin and Sun Jiahui also signed their names as Lu Wenbin's guardians, and the contract was officially effective.

Subsequently, in the media interview session, when the reporter asked Hope why he signed an amateur player like Lu Wenbin, Hope responded with great affirmation and expectations to Lu Wenbin.

As a pure amateur player who has never received formal professional team training before, Lu Wenbin was able to lead the obviously weak Meijiang Middle School football team to the national finals and win the championship, and Lu Wenbin himself won the honor of the best scorer and best player in the competition, which fully proved Lu Wenbin's strength and potential.

What's more, Lu Wenbin is only 17 years old, and he still has a long future.

Therefore, Hoffenheim is willing to provide Lu Wenbin with good training and competition conditions to help Lu Wenbin grow and make Lu Wenbin an excellent professional footballer.

Speaking of China, Hope also praised China's cultural heritage and natural scenery in various places, and said that he would travel to China again if he had the opportunity in the future.

When asked about Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin naturally picked up a good compliment on the good atmosphere of the German league, the results of German youth training, and Hoffenheim's excellent software and hardware facilities, etc., and he is also willing to contribute all his strength to Hoffenheim's promotion to help Hoffenheim be promoted to the Bundesliga and become a strong team in the Bundesliga.

Anyway, I just signed a contract, and in the face of the media, I am hello, hello, everyone, complimenting each other.

As for Lu Wenbin's real development in the future, whether he can play in the game or not depends on Lu Wenbin's actual performance.

PS: Explain the issue of signing a contract for six years in the previous chapter, some book friends said that the Boseman Act is only allowed to be signed for a maximum of five years, which is more illegal. I knew the rules, and I checked them before I wrote them. Because James Rodriguez signed for Real Madrid for six years, there is a precedent, so I wrote this. Some things are rules, but in real life, there are countless people who play the side ball. UEFA also has a fiscal health policy, which requires a balance between payments and payments, so can Paris sign Neymar with more than 200 million euros to break even? Although I don't know how to bypass the bill as an ordinary fan, as long as the book friends know that there is a precedent, they can do so, and it is not a big deal. Just like us ordinary people working, the labor law is also a law, and the labor law stipulates that there are double and triple wages for overtime, have you all received them? Do you get your wages on time every month, especially those of private enterprises, small workshops, and engineering teams?
