Chapter 788: The Alliance Under the City (II)
Rick Barry went back and truthfully told the club owner Ji about the content of the meeting with Zhang Shubin? And Hicks, Gillette was furious when he heard this, and said, "It's too arrogant! Too greedy! He hasn't reached the number one in the world yet, and now he wants the highest treatment in the world! I really think Liverpool can't leave him! "
Hicks was obviously much calmer than Gillette, and he said lightly: "Judging from this season alone, it's really not okay to leave Chen Yu."
Gillette retorted: "Even without Chen Yu, Liverpool wouldn't have won the Champions League the year before last."
Rick Barry said: "If Chen Yu hadn't saved Liverpool in key games this year, we would have been empty of the big four this season."
Gillette said: "Yes, Chen Yu has the greatest credit for winning two titles this season, but now his appetite is too great, which club in the world can give him such a generous treatment, Chelsea?" Real madrid? They didn't get it, and if they really had the chance to get Chen Yu, I don't believe they would give him 50 percent of the image rights and 30 percent of the jersey income."
Rick Barry was speechless.
Hicks said, "It's hard to guess, there will always be behaviors that we can't think of."
After a burst of fire, Gillette became angry and said in a somewhat depressed voice: "Do we have to accede to his unreasonable demands?" If this is signed, what will happen to the other players? Who can guarantee that he will have a bigger appetite next season?"
Hicks said: "No one can guarantee it, Gillette, I think you should think clearly about a question now, whether we want to push Chen Yu into the transfer market, if we want to sell Chen Yu, of course we don't need to agree to such a condition, if we don't want to sell Chen Yu, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us not to agree to this condition."
"Why?" Gillette still couldn't swallow this breath, and said viciously: "We still have Chen Yu's two-year contract, he is 29 years old this year, I don't believe he dares to openly fall out with us, if he really falls out, we don't want the current investment, freeze him for two years."
Hicks sneered: "Since Zhang Shubin and Chen Yu dare to argue with us like this, they must be able to think of this, although the liquidated damages of 150 million are not low, there are definitely people who can afford it. And Chen Yu is afraid that he will dare to spend his own money to buy himself."
Gillette heard Hicks say this, and was depressed to the extreme, and said: "Liverpool is a dignified giant, and it is really coerced by a player, it is really too much, it really can't be done, just sell it, now Chen Yu's net worth is worth 8ooo million euros, and we will make 40 million if we sell it."
Hicks said: "It must be a good deal to sell, but Gillette, have you thought about how Florence feels this year?" Have you ever imagined what Florence thought when it sold Chen Yu last year?"
When Gillette heard this, he immediately stopped talking, because it was Fiorentina who thought that Chen Yu was old and riddled with injuries, and decided to sell Chen Yu, but he was taken advantage of by Liverpool, and now Chen Yu is only a year old, if Liverpool sells him, will he be slapped in the face, although from the general law, it seems that Chen Yu should go downhill, but Chen Yu's current state is too good, if you choose to sell Chen Yu only from a competitive point of view, it is not cost-effective.
Rick Barry saw that the two owners were silent, and said: "We must now make a choice between accepting Chen Yu's conditions and pushing him to the transfer market, I can see that they are not like threatening us with Chelsea and Real Madrid, but are really in contact with them, from a competitive point of view, Chen Yu still has two years to maintain such a peak state, if we sell him, we can buy Chen Yu is nothing more than the giants in the G14, and the most likely buyers are Real Madrid and Chelsea, Because these two lack of leading stars, if they are sold to Chelsea, it is almost impossible for us to defend the title in the league, Chelsea has a strong group, with Chen Yu is almost like a tiger, no one can stop it, even if it is sold to Real Madrid, we are equivalent to one more obstacle in the Champions League, in short, at the competitive level, it is definitely not cost-effective to sell Chen Yu, at least one or two more years should be stayed, of course, if Chen Yu is kept for a year or two, the transfer price will definitely drop, what to do, or you need to make a decision."
Gillette and Hicks glanced at each other, and Gillette said, "That's it, Barry, you go back first, I'll discuss it with Hicks again, and then make a decision tomorrow."
Rick Barry knew that the two bosses needed to talk privately, so he took his leave and waited for the outcome of their discussion.
"This Chinese kid is too much of a person."
After Rick Barry left, Gillette continued to complain dissatisfied.
Hicks also frowned and said, "It's a bit rampant, but he has rampant capital."
"He's going to be 29 years old soon, and he can still be crazy for a few years."
"It's because he hasn't had a few years of rampant capital that he is desperately asking for wealth now." Hicks said slowly.
"The Chinese are the Jews of the East, money scorpions, Hicks, what do you say we should do." Gillette was both angry and helpless.
Hicks was silent for a while, and then said: "From the perspective of short-term interests, pushing Chen Yu to the transfer market now will definitely get the best price, but in the long run, after selling Chen Yu, Liverpool's results will definitely be affected, and it will not be so easy for us to use Liverpool as a mortgage, without the halo of results, I am afraid that fans will once again pay attention to our debt acquisition of Liverpool, and it is not easy to raise the price of tickets."
Gillette said: "I know all this, it's just that this thing is too annoying, Lao Tzu has been in the competitive sports world for many years, what kind of big names have never been seen, and he has never been played like this."
Hicks smiled, "You want to. . . [,! It's not happy, we can also do this, send him to the second team, consume two years of his competitive career, and see if he is honest or not."
Gillette was taken aback and said with a wry smile: "Our loss is not smaller than his."
Hicks smiled: "But it may also give us the opportunity to make huge profits, such as someone paying 150 million liquidated damages to buy Chen Yu, so that we have a windfall."
Gillette shook his head and said: "This is too risky, I can't believe it now, who will spend 150 million to buy a player, from a business point of view, it is most cost-effective to keep Chen Yu for another two years, and then sell him, even if Chen Yu's competitive state has declined by then, and he is older, I think there will be people who will bet on him with a transfer fee of more than 3ooo million, so that we can win the results, and we can get the loan, and at the same time not lose much."
Hicks said: "This is the reason, but it doesn't feel so comfortable to sign the alliance under the belly."
Gillette also seemed to think about it at this time, and said: "Business is the supremacy of profits, whether it is cool or not, whether it is comfortable or not is not so important."
Hicks laughed and said, "I knew that your final choice must be to agree to Chen Yu's conditions and renew the contract with Chen Yu."
Gillette smiled: "Can't you vent when you're angry, but I'm not an irrational person, and I still know which one is lighter and which is heavier."
Hicks said: "Then inform Rick Barry tomorrow and let him accept all the conditions of Chen Yu and complete the renewal of the contract as much as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night and cause some unnecessary trouble."
Gillette said: "Yes, if Real Madrid and Chelsea really want to start, we have to cut through the mess quickly and not give them a chance, after all, they can't be as familiar with Chen Yu as we are."
Hicks said, "Now that it's decided, it's definitely going to be as soon as possible. The Chinese have an old saying, called the noble god of soldiers."
Gillette said, "Then I'll inform Rick Barry?"
Hicks said: "Then don't be in such a hurry, if you promise too quickly, maybe Chen Yu will have other ideas, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Gillette is also an old man in the business field, he understands the importance of this timing, and his mood is too eager to be easily taken advantage of by the negotiation opponent, so he agrees with Hicks's statement.
The next day, Rick Barry received instructions from Gillette to agree to Chen Yu's contract renewal conditions and complete the negotiations with Chen Yu for a contract renewal and salary increase.
After three days of see-saw negotiations, Liverpool finally completed the contract renewal negotiations with Chen Yu, Chen Yu renewed his contract for two years, obtained the highest annual salary in the world today, 750,000 pounds, got 50% of the portrait rights, and the club packaged and promoted Chen Yu's image for free, in addition, Chen Yu also got 20% of the jersey sales, Originally, Chen Yu asked for 30 percent, but the other conditions of the Liverpool club agreed to be so generous, Chen Yu also reciprocated and reduced the requirements for the jersey sales share, but with Chen Yu's state this year, 20% of the jersey sales revenue is also very considerable.
Liverpool's two veterans? Succumbed to Chen Yu's pressure and signed an alliance under the city, but this was only a private matter, in public, it was the generosity of the owner of Liverpool, who used a lot of money to retain the ace in his team, and smashed the tricks of Real Madrid and Chelsea to poach the corners.
After Chen Yu's contract was renewed, the media commented on the matter, and Chelsea and Real Madrid also expressed their views on it.
Real Madrid's president Florentino regretted that they tried their best, but Chen Yu finally chose to stay, which is a double loss for Real Madrid and Chen Yu, Chen Yu lost his high income and lost the opportunity to make history with Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's former superstar Zinedine Zidane believes that from a competitive point of view, Chen Yu should choose to transfer, after all, he has just won the championship, and the team may have a low ebb period.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho's comment was one sentence: "Chen Yu will regret not moving to Chelsea sooner or later."
And Chelsea manager Kenyon believes that Chen Yu's stay in Liverpool is not good for Chelsea, this season, it will definitely be Chelsea and Liverpool to compete for the title, his only hope now is that Chen Yu is not as good as last season.
Chen Yu made a fuss some time ago because of contract renewal and transfer issues, and he also became a key figure in saving the newspaper during the league break.
"The Sun" believes that Chen Yu's contract renewal, Liverpool's mixed pros and cons, Liverpool's success last season, in addition to Chen Yu's wonderful swing, or because the team is united, united, now Chen Yu's high salary renewal, I am afraid that it will cause a chain reaction in Liverpool, if Liverpool does not handle it well, unity will definitely be affected, of course, the benefits of which needless to say, with Chen Yu, Liverpool will definitely be the favorite of the English championship and the Champions League.
Spain's "Marca" said: "In the end, Chen Yu still stayed in Liverpool, with Chen Yu's character, this is also the most reasonable result, Chen Yu does not leave, the pattern of European football is still the same as it was, it depends on who can challenge Liverpool this season."
The German newspaper "Bild" believes that Liverpool's choice is wise, although the value of Chen Yu has decreased after two years, but with Chen Yu, Liverpool can at least guarantee results on the two main fronts, which will bring Liverpool a steady stream of ticket revenue and Champions League share income. And Chen Yu's choice needs are also very smart, he has received a high salary, gained a reputation for loyalty and gratitude, has a higher reputation among fans, and a familiar team will also help him continue to challenge for the throne of the world's number one.
All major media outlets. [,! There was a lot of speculation, but after Chen Yu showed up on the day of the signing, he disappeared again; Even the journalists lurking in Formentera don't know where he ran to.
