Chapter 45: Negotiation!
The City Garden Restaurant is not far away,
Liu Yang arrived in less than ten minutes in his BMW.
Park your car,
Looking up at this palatial hotel restaurant,
Liu Yang had to sigh that Barnett had spent a lot of money for this meeting.
At the same time, you can also feel the sincerity of the other party.
You must know that City Garden is a famous restaurant in Manchester,
The environment here is elegant and quiet, and it is the best place for high-end people to discuss projects and promote cooperation.
Liu Yang walked along the luxurious red carpet to the inside of the restaurant,
It was exactly eight o'clock when I came to the agreed place.
A bald middle-aged man with gold wire glasses and a suit was waiting there early,
Seeing Liu Yang's arrival,
He immediately stood up to greet him and said, "Hello, Yang, I'm Jonathan Barnett, and I'm glad you agreed to my invitation." ”
After speaking, he took the lead in reaching out his hand.
The other party was so enthusiastic, but it made Liu Yang a little overwhelmed.
Quickly stretched out his right hand and shook Barnett,
Then he said, "Hello Mr. Barnett, I've kept you waiting. ”
After the two sat down,
Barnett was the first to speak, "I don't know what flavor you like, so I took the liberty of ordering some first." ”
"Here's the menu, do you want to see what else needs to be added?"
Looking at the table full of food,
Australian steak, fried chicken, pasta, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried greens, and finally a plate of dumplings!
Liu Yang was surprised again that Barnett was so careful,
Because in Europe, most people only eat steak, cheese and potatoes.
For pasta dumplings, only Xia people like to eat them.
"No need, I like all of these, let you break the bank." Liu Yang refused with a smile.
Barnett saw that Liu Yang liked his hospitality very much,
I was very happy in my heart.
So the two began to talk while eating,
Seeing that the atmosphere was suitable, Barnett spoke: "Yang, your contract is until the end of this season, right?" ”
'I've watched the last three games and they've been outstanding, so if you can keep it until the end of the season, I think there will be a lot of big clubs willing to give you a big contract.'
"I'm willing to work with you, help you deal with the contract with the club, and all kinds of commercial endorsements, and I will definitely get the most out of you, this is me as Stella
The guarantee that the company broker gives you! ”
Liu Yang put down the food in his hand and said with a smile: "In the agent industry, I have heard of your Barnett's name, and I recognize your business ability very much, which is why I am sitting here now." ”
'As for next season's transfer, I don't have any plans yet, I just want to stay at Manchester United and achieve the treble with Ferguson.
Barnett listened carefully to Liu Yang's opinions, and took out a small notebook to record some key points, and his work was very rigorous.
Then he affirmed: "Yang, you are right, it is very important to win the championship, on the one hand, you can prove your strength, and on the other hand, your business value will be greatly improved." ”
Thinking of the huge market of Xia Guo behind Liu Yang, if he really wins the championship at Manchester United this year, then his commercial value is simply immeasurable.
And he watched Liu Yang's game and asked experts and teams to carefully study Liu Yang's ability.
The conclusion is that Liu Yang does have the potential to become a superstar!
Barnett hurriedly took out the documents that had been prepared and put them on the table,
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he said: "Yang, this is our company's contract, you can take a look." ”
Liu Yang took the contract and began to read it carefully, page by page, not missing every clause, after all, this involves personal interests.
Barnett was not surprised by this, on the contrary, he respected Liu Yang more.
So his voice sounded again: "Yang, let me tell you about the content of the contract." ”
"As an agent, we help players solve problems, and we routinely take 10% of the player's contract amount, or in the case of a transfer, 10% of the transfer deal plus 5% of the player's salary."
"As for the income from advertising and endorsements, we will also take a 20% commission."
Hearing the previous salary commission, Liu Yang did not object, it was all in accordance with international practice.
But the advertising commercial commission behind made Liu Yang frown slightly, although 20% is not very outrageous, most players are in this range.
But Liu Yang himself is from the Xia country, and the huge market with 1.4 billion people is said to be comparable to those European countries.
So Liu Yang opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Barnett, with all due respect, this commercial commission is too high, which does not meet my expectations!" ”
Barnett didn't expect Liu Yang to give an opinion on the commercial commission, after all, this contract is already very kind to the newcomer.
You must know that Manchester City's upstart Raheem Sterling is also in this range, and other new stars even have to reach a 25% commission.
However, Barnett still asked kindly, "And what is your opinion?" ”
"5 per cent of a player's salary is fine, but in terms of business activities and endorsements, I would like to be at 10 per cent." Liu Yang stared at the other party's eyes and said.
“10%?” Barnett was shocked.
Crazy!
Cristiano doesn't have that low advertising margin,
Why is the other party embarrassed to speak?
Liu Yang saw that the other party was thinking, and then said: "Mr. Barnett, I know that you must also know the huge market of Xia Guo behind me, think about it, if I can win the treble in Manchester United this year, then my commercial value will definitely be a global explosive growth, and at that time, are you still afraid that there will be no big brands and big contracts?" ”
"Truth be told, my team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo is already putting me in touch with my agent, and it's only a matter of time before we get a deal. Also, although I have only participated in a few competitions, I have already been approached by a number of commercial endorsements. ”
After a pause, Liu Yang said again: "I know that Mr. Barnett is very sincere, but this is also my condition, if you can accept it, then we will cooperate, if not, it is good for everyone to make friends." ”
Barnett felt a little dry and thought for a few seconds before saying: "I know what you say, but there is a key premise, that is, can Manchester United win the treble this year? ”
Liu Yang smiled confidently and said, "Then it depends on whether Mr. Barnett dares to bet." ”
Barnett was very entangled, and Liu Yang was right.
If Manchester United wins the treble again this year, then his value will definitely rise, his commercial value will also appreciate, and the huge market of Xia Guo will bring immeasurable benefits.
But the question is, can Manchester United really win the treble this year?
Looking at Liu Yang's confident expression,
Also thought of what he said Cristiano had helped to contact the agent.
A person's name immediately came to his mind,
Mendes!
The first person in the broker industry today.
If he really got ahead of him, then it would be even more impossible for him to surpass him.
In the end, Barnett seemed to have made a decision.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you!" ”
