18 shabby salary
"Hello, Mr. Wen."
"Mr. Xu, hello."
Heo Kyung-hyuk quickly informed Moon Dongfang and Kim Myeong. Moon Dongfang was very surprised when he received the notice from Seoul FC. Because in his opinion, although Jin Ming is a genius, he should be about eighteen years old before he can stay in the first team. When Wen Dongfang designed Jin Ming's development, he also hoped that Jin Ming would enter the first team at the age of 18, and be outstanding in the first team at the age of 19 and 20. At the age of twenty-two or three, he was able to go to Europe to develop. Unexpectedly, before he was seventeen years old, he was taken by GΓΌneΕ.
Wen Dongfang is in a good mood, and he is really discerning. Jin Ming is so young, he has already been favored by a coach like GΓΌneΕ, and the future is limitless. There is nothing wrong with your own decision.
"Jin Ming, hello. I'm Xu Jinghyuk, you can call me Uncle Xu in the future. β
Very kind, yes, Jin Ming can only use the word kindness to describe Xu Jinghe in front of him. Heo Kyung-hyuk is not very handsome, and he looks like he is in his thirties. But when he spoke to Jin Ming with a kind face, Jin Ming's impression of him was still very good.
In fact, Heo Kyung-hyuk does not have a good reputation among Seoul FC, and it can even be said that he has a bad reputation. Many people will say that Heo Kyung-hyuk is a dog of the Hsu family in Seoul FC, and he is the backdoor soldier who came to Seoul FC with the surname Heo. For such a person, no matter whether they are envious or jealous in their hearts, they are disdainful on the surface anyway.
Jin Ming had also seen Xu Jinghyuk before, but he had only seen it from afar. After all, Heo Kyung-hyuk basically doesn't come to the academy, but he only passes by the academy occasionally. Today is the first time Jin Ming has had close contact with Xu Jinghyuk, and he didn't expect to have a good impression. It's not at all like the rumors.
"This ......"
"I know a lot of people are not convinced that someone like me, who doesn't know anything, has come to a high position at the club. But for me, FC Seoul is like my home. You are all my children. You are a player from our academy, and you are the club's own person, so you should call me Uncle Xu. β
"Yes, Uncle Xu."
"yes, that's it."
The corners of Heo Kyung-hyuk's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile. Then he said to Wen Dongfang: "Originally, with Jin Ming's age, there shouldn't be a formal contract. But Jin Ming is one of the best talents in our Academy, so the club made an exception and offered him a professional contract. You can take a look and say what you are not satisfied with. β
Wen Dongfang took the contract sent by Xu Jinghyuk. If in European football, a player like Jin Ming, who is not yet 17 years old, cannot sign a professional contract.
But it's not the same in South Korea. Don't look at the Japanese and Korean leagues as formal as the Chinese leagues, in fact, the unspoken rules in them are no less than those on the Chinese side. It's just that South Korea has left a deep impression on European football with the scenery of the South Korea-Japan World Cup. Then Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo all played a world for Korean players, making the Korean league receive more attention from European football.
But no one can control the unspoken rules behind the scenes. It's like Seoul FC, I sign a contract with a player under the age of 17, or a professional contract, who cares about that.
"Mr. Xu, the contract is not a big problem. But this salary ......"
Wen Dongfang looked at the salary figures behind him with amusement, and said with a smile: "Three million annual salary? Mr. Xu, you're not kidding. It's better not to give this money. β
At present, 10,000 won can be exchanged for more than 70 yuan, and 3 million won can be exchanged for more than 20,000 yuan. The annual salary is 20,000 yuan, which is less than 2,000 yuan a month.
That's not a lot of money. At present, I am working part-time in South Korea and can earn more than one million won a month. Many Chinese people who come to South Korea to work can earn 15.6 million won a month, and they earn about 2 million won more.
Three million won a year, which is simply too little.
"Mr. Wen, there is no way to do this."
Xu Jinghyuk still kept smiling and explained to Wen Dongfang: "After all, Jin Ming has not played in the first team game. And even if it's a first-team game, that's how it gets paid. I believe you should be aware of South Korea's salary system, the salary of young players is not high in the first place. Even if it is Lee Qinglong, his current salary is only 7 million won a year. β
Wen Dongfang did not speak. Regarding the low salary of young Korean players, Wen Dongfang has long heard of it. Korean football is a league with a strict salary cap, especially for young players.
The salary cap in Korean football is very ridiculous. The salary cap is based on the number of years a player has played. Young players, no matter how good you are, if you don't play football long enough, then the salary is very poor.
Seeing that Moon Dongfang didn't speak, Xu Kyung-hyuk continued: "Mr. Moon, you should know Park Joo-yong. β
"Of course."
Park Joo-young is not only recognized as a talented striker in Korean football, but also considered one of the best talents in Asian football.
Because Park Joo-young has performed well in the South Korean national team at all levels. In 2004, at the age of 19, he led the Republic of Korea Under-20 team to the Asian Youth Championship, and he himself won the tournament's Top Scorer and Most Valuable Player awards.
In January 2005, South Korea's U20 team was invited to participate in the Qatar Eight Nations Football Invitational Tournament, and Park Joo-young shone again, scoring two goals against China, a hat-trick against Ukraine, two goals against Algeria and two goals against Japan to help South Korea win the tournament, and he himself was named AFC Young Player of the Year that year.
Since the start of the K-League in 2005, he scored 10 goals in the first 11 rounds and successfully selected for the Korean national team. Last summer, he also played the World Cup in Germany with the South Korean national team. And such a genius, Park Joo-young, is currently only twenty-one years old.
"His current annual salary at our Seoul FC is only 30 million won."
"It's not high, indeed."
Wen Dongfang nodded. 30 million won, converted into RMB, is only more than 200,000 yuan. At the beginning of the century, the salaries of Dalian Shide's young players were more than one million yuan.
And Park Zhouyong was obviously more powerful and famous than Yan Song, Zhang Yaokun, and Hu Zhaojun of Dalian Shide at that time, but the salary was far less than that of them back then. Since his debut, Park Joo-young has been a genius who has been known throughout Asia. But even if Park Zhouyong is such a model, his annual salary is only 200,000 yuan.
"Mr. Wen, there is no way around this. In our Korean league, salaries are determined based on seniority. In Seoul FC, although Park Joo-young is the main striker, his salary is lower in the club. And there are some old players, although they are already substitutes, but their salaries are several times or even more than ten times that of Park Joo-young. β
The Korean league is a bit funny. It's not just about seniority, it's about salary. No matter how strong you are, it doesn't matter what kind of genius you are, as long as you have just debuted, no matter how good your salary is, it is the lowest grade. And those veteran players, as long as they have enough qualifications, even if they can't play in the first team, their salaries are several times that of young players.
And there are stricter zhΓ²ng's.
Some South Korean clubs have reached sensational levels of exploitation of young players. That is, young players play in the first team, and if they can't reach five years, then they can't raise their salaries for five years.
It is precisely because of this squeeze that the loss of talented players in South Korea is also relatively strict. They all went to play in the J-League in Japan.
"Mr. Wen, but there is one thing you can rest assured. Although we at FC Seoul have this kind of restriction, we will definitely not put pressure on the wages of young players like some clubs. The contract is given to Jin Ming now to lock in his future. When Jin Ming is outstanding in the first team, we will change the contract at any time and increase Jin Ming's salary. β
"Okay."
Because Jin Ming is still young, the contract is relatively simple. In addition to the annual salary of three million won, there are also some goal bonuses, winning bonuses, championship bonuses, and more. Three years, a three-year contract was just that. Kim Ming is also able to get an annual salary of 3 million won from Seoul FC every year.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Uncle Wen, I'm also a professional player now."
The salary is low, and Jin Ming doesn't care at all. Because as long as he is outstanding, Jin Ming believes that he will be able to get a high enough salary. Anyway, after signing this contract, Jin Ming officially became a signed player of Seoul FC.
"Yes. You're a professional footballer now. β
"Uncle Wen, Director Xu Jinghe is very good. I used to listen to the player, and I thought he was a super badass. β
Jin Ming recalled Xu Jinghyuk and had a really good impression of him. As the general manager of a strong team in the K-League like Seoul FC, it is simply too amiable to be so kind to a young player like himself.
"Nice? Hum. β
Wen Dongfang smiled and turned his head to glance at Xu Jinghyuk's office. Then he patted Jin Ming on the shoulder and said, "Stay away from him in the future." If he asks you for anything, don't answer lightly. You can't decide anything, let him come to me directly. In the future, I will leave everything I will do with him. β
"Why, Uncle Wen."
"I'm afraid you'll be sold by him."
Wen Dongfang sneered: "This is an old fox, it's not something you can deal with." Don't look at him smiling, he will be suffocated when he sees it. β
Jin Ming didn't answer because he didn't want to refute Wen Dongfang. Jin Ming doesn't think that he is still young, he is already eighteen years old according to his virtual age, and he can distinguish between good and bad. Although Wen Dongfang criticized Xu Jinghe as an old fox, in Jin Ming's eyes, Xu Jinghe is a very good person.
Wen Dongfang saw Jin Ming's reaction and knew that Jin Ming did not listen to his words. Wen Dongfang was also reluctant to impose his own ideas on Jin Ming, so he said: "Anyway, Jin Ming, you can play football well." I'll leave it to me to get in touch with the club's top management in the future. β
