Chapter 039: Jose Gamac is Smaller Than Rita
Wolverhampton Club, Office of the President.
Mark. David sat at the table, carefully looking at a document in his hand, on which there were two cups of coffee, steaming slightly. Across from him, José. With a thumb-thick cigar in his mouth, Moxie sat in a chaise longue with a few leisurely seats, occasionally bursting into a string of smoke rings in his mouth.
After a long while, Mark, who was sitting in the main seat, slowly raised his head and asked with a slight frown: "This contract is indeed very beneficial to the club, but will he sign it?" You know, he's a huge asset to the club, and he's got some influence among the fans..."The rest of the words didn't matter, he knew that the cunning Jose in front of him would definitely understand what he meant.
"Don't worry, Mark, signing players is like doing business, of course you have to bargain, that kid won't sign by himself, he will definitely find an agent, this is just the first draft, and when his agent comes to the door, he will continue to discuss." Jose spat out a few more smoke rings before he said with some unfinished thoughts.
"Well, you can add some to your weekly salary, there is no problem with the time of signing, as for the portrait right, it doesn't matter, now he is not a big star, the advertising fee will not be too much, if you play well in the future, the contract will have to be signed anew." Mark still couldn't look at it, so he instructed Jose.
He was a real Wolverhampton fan but knew that his management level was not very high, so he found a helper, Jose was a senior executive at Enbao before, and he was much better at doing these business things than himself. Still, there are some areas where he will point fingers, as he did this time.
Jose nodded, he and Mark have been friends for many years, of course they don't care about these little things, and this can't be the last contract, so it doesn't matter if you change it.
The two chatted casually, talking about the recent Wolverhampton game, Mark was a little excited about this, you know, in the last round of the game, they beat the mighty Aston Villa, which was unimaginable before, and even manager Dave had little confidence.
"Ding-dong! Ding dong! The doorbell rang, Mark thought for a moment, and then said loudly, "Come in!" ”
Paul walked in through the door and said with some respect, "Mr. José, there is a young lady outside who claims to be the agent of Alan. Wang, and she wants to see you. ”
Jose smiled, sighed with relief, and said: "It's finally here, I'm afraid that the black-haired kid won't sign the contract, so he can transfer away directly in the winter transfer." It seems that he still has some feelings for Wolverhampton. ”
Mark smiled too, waved his hand, and instructed Paul, "Bring her in." Then he turned his head to look at Jose and frowned, and then reprimanded a little: "You don't want to put out your cigarette quickly, you know, it's rude to smoke in front of a strange lady!" ”
José's face darkened, and with a wry smile, he lit the cigarette butt in the ashtray, then crossed his hands behind his head, stretched out, and lay down in his seat.
……
Rita came today for Wang Li's contract, this is her first time as an agent, I heard that this profession is very profitable, and she doesn't know if she can succeed.
But with this opportunity, you must do a good job, a player like Wang Li, many people can't sign it if they rush it. Encouraged by herself, Rita slowly walked into the office.
Seeing the two middle-aged people in the office, Rita was still a little nervous, after all, it was the first time, and she was just a student. However, there was no trace of nervousness on the expression on her face, and she always kept a straight face...
"Hello, I'm Jose, the executive officer of the club. Moxie, you can call me Jose. You're Allen's agent, come and sit here, what do you call it? Seeing a rather beautiful woman walk in, José immediately got up and said politely.
"Oh, thanks, you can call me Rita." Rita followed José's gesture and sat down unceremoniously in his place.
Jose slowly walked to Mark's side, picked up the contract, and said to Rita: "You're here to talk about Alan's contract, it just so happens that there is a contract we drafted, you can take a look, if there is any problem, you can say it directly." "Of course, the negotiation must have momentum, seeing that it was a little girl in her twenties who came in, Jose secretly looked down on her heart, what can a little girl in her twenties understand?
Rita took the contract, took it in her hand and read it slowly, and after a while she frowned.
She only read half of it, then returned the contract to Jose, and then said flatly: "Your club doesn't want Alan to stay here at all, right?" Well, the winter transfer is coming soon, and I'll help him find the team that needs him. ”
After hearing this, Mark immediately said anxiously: "How can it be, a player like Allen is what every club wants, our club is very sincere, and anyway, Allen is from Wolverhampton's youth team, why don't we want him to stay here?" ”
Seeing Mark's appearance, Rita seemed to have found the point of attack this time, and said bluntly: "Look, that contract requires five years? Fifty percent portrait rights? £10,000 a week? Liquidated damages of 30 million pounds? And there are no strings attached, is this a deed of sale? Are you now a slave society? ”
At this time, Jose can no longer be leisurely, this beautiful young lady in front of him is not easy to deal with at all, every point pointed out is just right, and the tone of speech is full of momentum, he is definitely a negotiator!
Looking at Rita's expression, Jose felt that she was indeed very dissatisfied with this contract, thought about it, and said: "You must know that he is not yet 17 years old, it is normal to sign a five-year contract, and the average weekly salary of the first team is only 15,000 pounds, he has just played a few games, how can you be sure that the level will still be like this in the future?" Allen is not a big star now, and the image rights can be reduced, so what additional treaties do you have to add? In fact, the expression on Rita's face has never changed...
Rita pursed her lips, looked at the contract again in an orderly manner, and then said confidently: "Although Alan is young, you have also seen the level of performance, and he will never be worse than any Wolverhampton player." And as you just said, he's not even 17 years old, 16 years and 11 months to be exact, will such a young player get worse when he fully adapts to the Premier League? ”
After finishing speaking, she stared at Mark carefully, and said a little threateningly: "I believe that now, all teams in England will be willing to pay 500,000 pounds for Allen." ”
"Beautiful young lady, everything is negotiable, we are very sincere, how do you want to modify the contract?" After hearing this, Mark hurriedly said impatiently.
"The contract is three years, the weekly salary is 20,000 pounds, the image rights are owned by the player himself, if Allen asks for a transfer, the club cannot block it, and the liquidated damages are 8 million pounds." Rita said dryly.
Mark thought about it in his heart, 20,000 pounds, that is, the salary level of Miller in the team, is not much, although the signing time is shorter, but after three years, the club will definitely not be able to retain this kind of super talent, but the liquidated damages are a little less, after Allen grows up, the transfer will definitely get more than 8 million.
"Isn't the penalty a little less, ...... What about £10 million? Mark thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
"Alright then, that's it." When Rita saw this, she immediately clapped her head. She didn't want to be intervened by the old fox with the two little black beards, and if she had discussed it with him, she would never have signed such a good contract.
José was stunned as he watched from the side, he just wanted to interject and plan a conversation between the two, but he was already in no hurry. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Mark, who was sitting happily in his chair, and he really wanted to lift the stool and take a picture, although it was just a thought in his heart.
After discussing it, it was agreed that the contract would be signed in the afternoon, and Rita slowly walked out of the room.
"Mark, I've decided that next time you must not meddle in the club's financial problems, otherwise I will resign." After seeing the annoying woman gone, José immediately yelled. He is really a little depressed, he is the CEO, and before he can speak, the contract has been signed, and almost every clause in it is beneficial to the player, 100% portrait rights? Never heard of...
Mark put away his smile and said a little timidly: "José, it's my fault this time, I don't care next time." Of course, he also knew that he really couldn't do it in this regard, but the female agent just now gave him a lot of pressure, and almost every sentence spoke to his heart, and that kind of expression, words, and posture almost made him a little broken, making him think of the pressure he had to endure after Wang Li left the club because of contract problems, so he immediately compromised...
"Hey...," the sigh of a middle-aged man with a mustache remained, and he lit a cigar in his hand again...;
