131 Meet Murray (2)
The atmosphere that had just been relatively friendly suddenly cooled down. Rist was indeed a little angry because Sunderland's salaries to Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua were too low. Zhang Enhua and Sun Jihai are both the main players of Dalian Wanda, and if they stay in Dalian to sign a new contract, there is no big problem with a salary of more than one million yuan.
Although Sunderland is a team in the English First Division, Sunderland is a club that is not short of money. As a club that has just been relegated, the idea of club chairman Murray is simple, which is to be promoted to the Premier League as soon as possible. So he was very generous when it came to bringing in players and giving them new water. Not worse than the salaries of the average mid-to-lower Premier League team.
Quinn, who is currently the highest-paid in Sunderland, is already earning more than £15,000 a week. The annual salary is more than 700,000 pounds. There's also young Michael Gray, a Sunderland academy player who earns £500,000 a year as a left-back. Sunderland's average salary is among the highest in League One.
But Sunderland's salary to Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua was only £70,000. The annual salary is 70,000 pounds, although it is almost one million yuan. But the taxes on the English side are heavier than those on the Chinese side. The salary that can be obtained is very low. They are currently Sunderland's two lowest-paid players.
This is completely beyond Rist's imagination. In Lister's opinion, in terms of Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua's ability, how can they get an annual salary of about 150,000 pounds, how can it only be only 70,000 pounds. In any case, the two of them are also international players of the Chinese national team. Fan Zhiyi, who is operated by Rist himself, currently earns more than $300,000 a year at Esttremadura.
To be honest, Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua's salaries, Lister doesn't look down on them at all. After all, Rist is only an agent's agent, not theirs. They have no direct interest in their salaries. But this is not the case with Rister. Because this is related to Lister's reputation, Rister turned his head and asked Bob Murray: "Chairman Murray, the two of them should have the lowest salary in Sunderland." ”
Murray nodded, without any other expression, and said with a smile: "You have to know that they are Chinese players, and I believe there are few English clubs that dare to take over Chinese players now." We are also taking a big risk, and although the salary we give is relatively low in the club, I believe it is far more than their salary in the Chinese club. ”
More than a salary in China? Rist knows that in two years, the annual salary of 2 million yuan in Chinese football, or even 3 million yuan, will come out. Even after entering the Super League stage, like Hao Haidong, their salary even exceeded 5 million yuan at one point. Moreover, in the statistics of salaries in Chinese football, by 1999, half of the first-line main players in the A club had salaries of more than one million yuan.
Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua are the pillars of Dalian. Nemechek is a sign that his arrival has definitely boosted the salaries of Chinese players. By the time Nemechek came to Dalian, it was very easy for Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua to earn more than one million yuan a year.
So Rist laughed and said, "This is Mr. Williams' words?" ”
The collaboration between Rist and Michael Williams was simple. Rist persuaded the Chinese club, namely Dalian Wanda Club, to release Zhang Enhua and Sun Jihai. Michael Williams helped the two find a club in England to take over their club. Then help them negotiate with the English clubs, so their salary negotiations are all in the hands of Michael Williams.
Bob Murray nodded. In fact, Bob Murray didn't nod his head, and Rist already roughly understood what was going on. Obviously, this is Michael Williams who sold Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua for his own little profit. Converted the salary that the two of them deserved into their own commission.
Rist was a little angry in his heart, and some looked down on Michael Williams. Michael Williams definitely has a unique advantage in English football, more than those of England's established agents.
Because in England, the established agents have their own tendencies. For example, Jerome Anderson is Arsenal's "real agent", so his relationship with Tottenham and Manchester United is very average. Manchester United's Ferguson Jr. is for Manchester United, and has a bad relationship with Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and other clubs.
It's all true. The established agents in England are basically just working for one club. But Michael Williams is different, he used his time at Enbao to have close ties with Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City and even Tottenham and Arsenal. He doesn't have a strong club imprint himself, so he can play a right and left right. With such a connection, he doesn't even need to have a very good player.
He can be an intermediary. A lot of foreign players want to play in the Premier League, and he can work with their foreign agents and earn a commission from the middle. That alone he was able to earn a lot of money. That's why Rist plans to work with him. But this cooperation made Rist look down on Michael Williams from his heart.
There is no vision, only obsessed with a little immediate benefit. The most important thing for an agent like him is to protect his reputation, not to be greedy for a little bit of money. This time it was thanks to the Chinese players, and there are not many Chinese players who can play in the Premier League anyway. If he pits players from other countries this time, then his practice will soon be exposed in the player's national football. No player will ever work with him again.
Rist has been an agent for so long, and he has had a lot of dishonorable means. But on the outside, he is very careful about his reputation, and things that damage his reputation are avoided as much as possible. Unexpectedly, Michael Williams cheated Zhang Enhua and Sun Jihai for such a small commission.
How much is that? Although Murray didn't tell Rist, Rist was able to estimate it. That is, a commission of about 100,000 to 200,000 US dollars, and he did not hesitate to damage his reputation for this money, and he had no future for development.
Rist despised Michael Williams in his heart, and despite his connections, he could not have achieved more in the brokering industry. It's no wonder that Michael Williams, who has a defensive superstar like Stam and such connections in history, has achieved little in the agent industry, and here's why. Without vision, you can't stand on a higher height, that's it forever.
Of course, Rist didn't want to have a direct confrontation with Michael Williams. Therefore, although I am not used to his style of acting, I have never thought about fighting for Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua. After all, Michael Williams and Sunderland's relationship is definitely closer than Lister's. And in terms of the relationship between Lister and Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua, it is not good enough to compete with Michael Williams for them.
So although he was not satisfied with the contract, Rist did not think about changing it. Rist's psychology has already been thought out. When there were player transfers in the future, Lister tried to avoid working with Michael Williams again. Because it's easy to put your own reputation into it.
Murray didn't notice any change in Rist's mood. In Murray's eyes, it is obvious that Rist and Michael Williams are in a group, and the extra part of the commission must be shared by two people. And many agents are like this, pit the players and then get more commissions themselves. Murray: They're not surprised, either.
When the conversation was almost over, Murray smiled and said to Lister, "Mr. Cirny, I know a little. You have a lot of good players on your hands, so don't forget about Sunderland. We in Sunderland will never treat you badly. ”
Reesette nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said to Bob Murray and Peter Reid: "I feel that our cooperation is still very good when we meet for the first time today. Actually, I have some information about some of my scouts about some of the players in the lower leagues in England. I wanted to represent these players myself, but it looks like Sunderland need this information more than I do. ”
