Section 1 Why Me
The parties to this broker contract were not equal from the beginning.
Party A is an agent, a football agent, Spanwitz, a Jew.
In international football, football agents are an indispensable and important role, but compared to the brilliance of the stars, they spend more time behind the scenes, relatively speaking, the agent is not the most concerned role by fans, compared to those teams and stars who are like a few treasures, the agent does seem obscure.
It is true that the team of agents sometimes does not get much attention from the fans, but they are an essential part of the business operation of the whole professional football, the most famous Portuguese Jorge Mendes, whose economic company represents 83 famous players and coaches, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferreira, Di Maria, Falcao, Pepe, Mourinho and others.
"Another example is Anderson Highbury, Adams, Seaman, Bergkamp, as well as Vieira, Henry, it is not an exaggeration to say that most of Wenger's player agents are Anderson." Spanwitz spoke eloquently to the players in front of him: "Real Madrid's superstars come in and out like Raul, it's all run by the Carvagal family, and AC Milan, that's the business of the Damiani family......"
Another example is Mascaladi, known as the "number one trafficker of the pampas", more than half of the Argentine stars in Europe and the top five leagues, and the stars of the Caribbean region such as Colombia, such as Veron, Lรณpez, Salas, Crespo, Asprilla and Aimaar. It can even be said that without the operation of an agent, no matter how well they play, they are always buried or underestimated gold! I can't reflect my own value! Taking a sip of his coffee, Spanwitz observed the expression of the player across from him, who seemed to be largely impressed by his words.
After a pause, Spanwitz continued: "For example, Kaka and Robinho's agent, Wagner Lipero, who mainly runs the Brazilian players, and Sahavi, who claims to be able to call the presidents and coaches of every big club to the negotiating table within an hour, these people have a deep friendship with me...... Let's just say kid, I think you're buried gold, and I'm able to give you the chance, the opportunity you want! โ
Seeing the irrepressible excitement in the eyes of the player opposite, Spanwitz thought to himself, well, in the words of the Chinese, this young man, take it!
(b)
Although Spanwitz's Chinese is not fluent, Chen Zhuo is not too difficult to listen to, as a professional player and a professional football agent, the communication is naturally football, football itself is shijie language.
According to him, he only learned Chinese two or three years ago, and it is amazing that he can learn Chinese at this age to reach this level in two or three years! Chen Zhuo has been learning English for two or three years, but he is not very fluent in spoken English until now.
According to this old man's meaning, he thinks that he is a buried opportunity, and he can take himself to play overseas, even in the five major leagues! Chen Zhuo was already excited!
Without the operation of an agent, no matter how well they play, they are always buried or underestimated gold! I can't reflect my own value! Chen Zhuo can also think of this truth, the world has Bole and then there is Maxima, Maxima often has Bole and Bole does not often have, and the texts that have been learned in junior high school Chinese.
But...... weishenme is himself? 29-year-old Chen Zhuo, 13 years old began to carry out systematic training in football, it has been 16 years now, and he has been mixed in the second-rate team of the Chinese League for a long time.
At the end of the 2009 season, Hengtian Club returned to the Chinese Super League, the club changed owners, and has made a long-term plan to spend a lot of money to recruit troops and buy horses to build "China's Real Madrid"!
However, the 29-year-old Chen Zhuo obviously did not enter their eyes, a week ago, after friendly negotiations with Chen Zhuo, the club decided to terminate the contract with Chen Zhuo for 2 years in advance, as compensation, a one-time payment of a quarter of Chen Zhuo's annual salary.
(c)
This condition is already very generous for Chen Zhuo! You must know that the transfer market in the Chinese Super League in 2010 has not yet been "free agent" and "free transfer", as for the player's whereabouts are often not transferred to the player's will, if it is other clubs, it must be in December 30, 2009 to February 12, 2010 The transfer window opened to sell Chen Zhuo, as for which team to go to or even the first or second division, Chen Zhuo does not have the right to choose!
Of course, Hengtian Group has strong resources, and Chen Zhuo transferred over at that time, which was a transfer fee of 1 million yuan, which is not much now, but the team's transfer consultant has contacted it, and many Chinese Super League teams are unwilling to pay 1 million!
It's no wonder that the ball market is already sluggish, the 2010 South Africa Shijie Cup China failed to pass the preliminaries again, pouring cold water on the already poor ball market, many clubs are no longer willing to burn a lot of money like in previous years, no, even Beijing Guoan's offer to Xu Liang is 800,000 yuan, and the gap between the 5.5 million yuan listed by the seller is so big that it can't be talked about at all!
For Chen Zhuo, the team's transfer department has made an assessment, 300,000 yuan is more in line with Chen Zhuo's current value and market conditions, but combined with Chen Zhuo's own style of play, his basic skills are quite solid, mainly defenders, fullbacks and central defenders can play, and he also played in the back in several games, and even made a cameo appearance as a center forward once or twice, which is a "jack-of-all-trades" role.
No matter which position he is, Chen Zhuo plays hard and rarely makes mistakes, but in which position he has not burst out of star potential, he is a player who works hard but has no talent! There are many such players, but they are not indispensable, and no team particularly wants to bring them in.
At that time, he was introduced because the head coach Guo Weipeng was optimistic about him, and in the middle of last season, with the change of the team owner, the head coach was replaced by the Korean iron coach, the champion coach, Chen Zhuo is still conscientious but is only a rotation main force under the Korean iron coach.
The person in charge of the club's transfer specifically solicited the opinions of the former head coach Guo Weipeng when evaluating Chen Zhuo, and Guo Weipeng, who is now the head coach of the reserve team, is still optimistic about Chen Zhuo, and also suggested that the team give Chen Zhuo one more choice, let him re-sign the contract, and serve as an assistant coach and reserve team member in the reserve team, and the salary should be appropriately reduced.
In Hengtian Club, Chen Zhuo's salary plus bonus is about 200,000 yuan a year, which is not high, but this year, the transfer department helped him contact several clubs that can be considered for introduction, basically all of them are Chinese A teams, the transfer fee is pressed again and again, and the annual salary is only 80,000 annual salary.
Chen Zhuodu has considered transferring to the reserve team and serving as an assistant coach of the reserve team, but the club's condition is to sign a contract for 5+2 years, which is basically equivalent to signing to retirement, and it is basically equivalent to giving up the opportunity to continue to chase the "dream".
29 years old is the year when a star is playing, but for a player who has not yet "kicked out", this is an age when there are no longer too many opportunities, but as long as the dream is not extinguished for a day, it will make a fuss in your heart, making you unwilling to accept your fate and unwilling to admit defeat, making you unwilling......
The club also talked to Chen Zhuo about the matter of the Chinese A team, and Chen Zhuo even thought about the low point, at least he could train with the team, at least he could still play the ball. But Guo Weipeng reminded him that it would be okay if such a team didn't go, isn't there such a sentence? The boss is like a shopper who desperately wants to take advantage of the bargain, and the employee will breed a sense of confrontation, and will be like a vegetable seller, and will even damage the public and private interests, and make up for the loss of psychological imbalance...... There are so many scandals in Chinese football, and the psychological root cause is the psychological imbalance between the top and bottom.
I don't want to give up my dream, and I don't want to go along with it, because it's not a dream, it's just in the name of a dream!
In the end, the club also raised his hand and let Chen Zhuo go, not forcing him to accept those teams he did not want to go to, but giving him a "free body", for a 29-year-old player, he has little time to pursue his dreams! Instead of earning two or three hundred thousand yuan on him, it is better to be generous with some adult beauty!
In this way, Chen Zhuo became a laid-off player, and Chen Zhuo was grateful to the owner and management of Hengtian Club, especially the former head coach Guo Weipeng, who had made great efforts in this matter.
For a laid-off player like himself, he was thinking about whether to go to the Zhongjia again, and suddenly the old man in front of him said that he was buried gold, saying that he could provide himself with the opportunities he wanted, this huge contrast made Chen Zhuo uncertain for a while.

"Kid, you're holding my broker certificate and the information of the brokerage company I work for, I'm not sure if you have any questions, say, think I'm a liar?" Spanwitz said.
Spanwitz, who has many years of experience as an agent, is very good at grasping people's psychology, he is no longer like the eyebrows that he talked about just now, but he analyzed seriously: "Child, you look at the terms of the agent contract I gave you, go into a period of intensive training, and then join the European League, and ensure that your annual income is not less than 50,000 US dollars, and the insufficient part will be paid to you by this brokerage company, hehe, according to my understanding, you now have two or three choices, but no matter which one, it is impossible to reach 50,000 US dollars, right?" โ
Yes, Chen Zhuo is enlightened about this matter, and he is thinking about whether to accept the income of 80,000 yuan from several Chinese A teams, and now Hengtian Club has given him a "free body", and they are willing to increase their salary without paying a transfer fee. But the old man in front of him said that he could ensure that his annual income was not less than 50,000 US dollars!
"Child, what are you suspicious? Suspect I'm a liar? Haha, have you ever seen a scammer like this, finding you to give you the opportunity you want, and then vouching for your income......" Spanwitz Haha said with a smile.
"Oh no, no, no...... Sir, I have no doubts in this regard. Chen Zhuo explained.
It is not right to say that there is no suspicion, and now there are some foreigners and so-called economic companies who grasp the psychology of Chinese players who want to develop overseas, and then charge fees such as going through the procedures for going abroad and labor certification procedures, and some have to pay a large amount of security deposit and prepaid commissions, and then take the players overseas for a few rounds of trial training, and send them back.
But this is not the case with this Spanwitz football agency, a legal document in Chinese and English is placed there, and it is written in black and white that the upfront expenses including the player's air tickets and accommodation for the trial abroad are paid by the football agency in advance, and there is to ensure that the player can participate in official matches and the salary and bonus income is not less than 50,000 US dollars per year, and the shortfall is made up by the football agency to the player...... There really are no such liars.
"So, son, where are your doubts? Not confident enough in your abilities? Spanwitz was in hot pursuit.
Chen Zhuo lowered his head and hesitated, then raised his head and asked, "weishenme...... It's me? โ
