Chapter 136: The Temptation of the True Tyrant
Soon, Ringer drove back to his apartment with the young lady, but outside the door, the Krott guy was actually waiting there.
This thing is really every eye, don't you see that I'm coming back with a beautiful woman?
Ringer complained secretly, but he still remembered that Crote seemed to have said that he had something to talk to him about yesterday, but he forgot all about it when he saw the young lady today.
"Lin, are you back? Hello, Ms. Aragaki. "Because of Ringer's relationship, Krot and the young lady also know each other.
"Lin Jun, you talk, I'll help you cook." When she entered the house, the young lady was very discerning, and saw that Ringer and the agent seemed to have something to talk about, and took the initiative to ask to leave.
"It's okay, you just got off the plane, sit here and rest for a while, and we'll go out to eat later."
Ringer remembered that Krott called him yesterday and said that it seemed that there was a local tycoon in West Asia who wanted to naturalize him, and this was not a transfer or commercial endorsement or anything like that, so there was no need to avoid it.
"The people from the Qatar Football Association spoke to me last night and they were very sincere in inviting you to become a Qatari citizen." Krot spoke.
"Are the Qataris trying to naturalize me?" Ringer had never thought about naturalizing him, so he didn't really care much about where he wanted to naturalize.
"Yes, the conditions they made are indeed very sincere, let me tell you, how to decide how you come by yourself."
"First of all, if you are willing to become a Qatari citizen, there will definitely be a considerable loss of your business value, and they are willing to pay you a naturalization fee equivalent to your transfer fee as compensation. Based on your recent streak of performances, the transfer fee is likely to be close to €30 million if you move away. In other words, if you become a Qatari citizen, they will first pay you 30 million euros. ”
"Ah~~~" As soon as Krot's price of 30 million euros was spoken, the young lady who was sitting next to Ringer and holding his arm exclaimed, but she quickly covered her little mouth with her hand again.
To be honest, Ringer was also surprised to hear the price.
30 million euros, more than 200 million RMB, 30 hundreds of millions of yen, no wonder the young lady was taken aback, these oil tyrants are really willing to spend money.
Krot continued.
"Secondly, in your career, no matter where you play, how much the club you play for will pay you an equal salary. In other words, you will receive double your salary for the rest of your career, one from the club, and another one from the Qatar Football Association. ”
"Third, if you can lead the Qatar national team to make a breakthrough in international football, from the national team ranking to the Asian Cup, to the World Cup, etc., they have a detailed list to write clearly, and each breakthrough can have a bonus of more than 10 million euros, with no upper limit. This is the list, you can see for yourself. ”
Ringer took it and took a cursory look, leading Qatar to the World Cup main match has 30 million euros (except for the 2022 Home World Cup), and the prize money for reaching the knockout stage is 60 million euros, and the more you go up, the more you will increase. If you can play in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, this bonus will be increased by another 50%.
"The highest ranking in the history of the Qatar national team is 51st, and it has only reached the quarterfinals once in the Asian Cup, and has never reached the World Cup and the Confederations Cup." Krot was afraid that Ringer would not know about the situation of the Qatari national team, and he made a point to explain it.
After listening to these conditions, Ringer felt that this was simply the temptation of a real local tyrant, and the conditions were too generous.
Ringer himself estimated that Qatar's strength is actually similar to that of the Chinese team, and even the results in the past two years are slightly better than the Chinese team, leading the team to break through the quarterfinals of an Asian Cup, enter a World Cup, and surpass the original national team ranking by the way, and the prize money may be hundreds of millions of euros.
But if you think about it carefully, in fact, only the 30 million euro naturalization fee is real for these conditions, and the others are fictitious, calculated according to the results.
Intuitively speaking, that is, the Qatar Football Association is willing to spend 30 million euros to buy him naturalization, and after Ringer plays well, those bonuses will naturally increase more and more, if he does not play well, the bonuses themselves are based on results, and there is not much, and the Qataris will lose 30 million euros.
That is, the Qataris, strictly speaking, just spend 30 million euros to gamble on him.
30 million is the transfer fee that has been recognized by the media after his recent performances, and it is not a loss to the Qataris.
But Ringer himself didn't think so, he knew that with the bonus of that cheating glass, he would definitely be able to achieve something in the future.
This list is just the sincerity of the Qataris negotiations, and if Ringer asks them to add some more, such as the top 10, top 3, or even awards in the World Footballer of the Year, how much is this bonus, the Qataris will definitely be willing to add it.
For those local tyrants, they are willing to spend sky-high prices to buy prizes, let alone Ringer. If Ringer really takes these awards as a Qatari, they are afraid that they will be willing to give more money.
Qatar is a small country with a population of less than 500,000, but it has a lot of petrodollars, and they have spent a lot of money on football since they became interested in it.
With a sparse population and even rarer football talent, Qatar began the path of naturalizing players after 2000.
At the 2011 Asian Cup, only one player in the entire Qatari national team was a native of Qatar, and several others were of Qatari ancestry, and most of the remaining teams were naturalized.
South Americans, Africans, other Asian nationals, the entire Qatari national team is a UN force.
There is an inherent disadvantage of naturalizing players that they cannot naturalize good players.
First, football is a sport that depends on talent, and many good players were geniuses when they were young, and their countries will definitely attach importance to geniuses, and this kind of genius cannot be naturalized.
Second, many players have already been called up by their national team after a little performance.
According to FIFA regulations, if a player has played for a country's national team, even if he has only played for one minute, then he wants to change to another national team, in addition to having the nationality of that country, he must also wait for a four-year window period, that is, he cannot participate in any national team competition for four years.
The football national team itself has a strong nationality confrontation, and most players are generally reluctant to change their nationality to represent other countries' teams, and with such regulations, it is even more difficult to naturalize as a good player.
Most of the players naturalized by Qatar joined Qatar because of money because they were not called up to their national team, so even if they spend a lot of money, Qatari football still can't get up or down, and it is about the same level as the Chinese team.
Although the Chinese Football Association has been criticized in various ways, in fact, the annual expenditure on Chinese football is really not much, which is also a major reason why it is difficult to play in Chinese stadiums. Of course, we spend much more than some poor countries such as South America and Africa.
Qatar is such a country with big sesame mung beans, they can achieve similar results as the Chinese team, which is really piled up by dollars, and people's annual spending on football is dozens of times that of China.
The Qatar Football Association has a clear rule that any club in Qatar will automatically pay 80% of the salary of the well-known star as long as it can attract a well-known star to play in the Qatar League.
Since Qatar has naturalized players, it has naturalized more than 600 international players. For each of these players to become naturalized, the Qatar Football Association will give a benefit fee of different sizes according to the different levels of the players, otherwise you are a closed country where drinking alcohol is illegal, why should people join Qatari nationality.
Therefore, it can be said that the Qatar Football Association has been spending money like water all these years, but the results have been stuck there, because the players who have spent money and naturalized are only at that level, and they can't attract top players at all.
Now the new Ringer is a special case, he only suddenly appeared last year, the Chinese Football Association did not know that there was such a person as him before, and Ringer has never represented the Chinese national team.
After Ringer became famous, he has always had conflicts with the Chinese Football Association "because" of his agent Krot, he has never played for the Chinese national team.
In the past, Ringer only performed well in Asia, but now he can perform in European giants, and he is already a well-known new star in European football, and many media are optimistic about him.
In fact, Ringer's current performance, in most countries around the world, he can join the national team, even if it is a football powerhouse such as Germany, Italy and France, if he fails to join the national team, he is at least a core player of a certain level of youth team.
is also a contradiction with the Football Association, and his national team resume is a blank.
In this context, the Qataris, who have already begun to prepare for the 2022 World Cup, have taken a fancy to Ringer and intend to lure him to join Qatar with money.
Ringer is the right age, and by the 2022 World Cup, Ringer is only 31 years old, and he has not yet passed the peak of his football.
And Ringer is currently 22 years old, and he has begun to mature in all aspects, as long as he joins Qatar, he can plug and play immediately, and he can represent Qatar this year.
At present, in the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup, Qatar's results in the final stage are not ideal, but there are still opportunities. They have their last two games in the summer, and if they can win those two, they could even go to Brazil for the World Cup next year.
However, Qatar's opponents in the last two games are not easy to deal with, Iran and Uzbekistan, both of which are strong, are direct competitors of Qatar, and it is very difficult to win each game.
If Ringer joins Qatar and can lead them to the World Cup in Brazil, it will definitely be a big profit for the Qataris. Qatar has never entered the World Cup in its history, and now it has won the right to host the 2022 World Cup by relying on a money offensive, which in itself is a stain that has been criticized.
Ringer was lying on the sofa and thought, the Qataris are directly hitting him with money, which is equivalent to saying, as long as you have the ability, what we have is money.
"Thomas, you can refuse them." Ringer still said to Krot, which is equivalent to directly rejecting a sky-high fee.
"Well, okay, I'll go first."
Krot seemed a little pity, but he still replied blandly and left.
Ringer knows that Qatar is willing to pay such a sky-high price to attract him as a potential future star, so Krot's side must have promised a lot of benefits.
When Krott was talking just now, although he didn't directly persuade Ringer to agree, there was still some bias in his words.
However, Krott was still smart enough not to persuade him directly, but to let Ringer decide for himself.
Krot, who left at this time, is also heartbroken, the Qataris can't get the benefit fee, but it is good to continue to maintain a cooperative relationship with Ringer, and I believe that there will be a chance to earn it back in the future.
During the period of cooperation with Ringer, Krot is also clear, his client seems to be young, in fact, most of the things have his own opinions, Krot can only provide advice as a reference, if you rashly persuade the other party to join Qatar, it will not be good to cause unhappiness on both sides.
You must know that Ringer's performance has been getting better and better recently, and European agent predators have paid attention to his clients, and it is said that the Italian fat Raiola is looking for a relationship and wants to meet his clients in person. If he had a disagreement with Ringer at this time, he might soon not be his agent.
"Lin Jun, you refused so easily? Don't think about it seriously? At this time, the young lady was resting her head on Ringer's lap and asked him.
"What? The Qataris have also given you benefits, so that you can persuade me? ”
"No, they don't even know about my relationship with you, how can it be? I just think it's a lot of money, more than 300 million (yen), and I don't know if I can make that much in my life. ”
Although the young lady is Japan's No. 1 actress, her market is limited to Japan, and the Japanese film industry is not good, so she can only act in TV series to maintain her fame, make money by commercial endorsements, etc., if her fame declines too quickly after the most beautiful years, she may not be able to make so much money.
"I have always been Chinese, how can I join other nationalities? Isn't that to be scolded to death? ”
Ringer said, and buried his head in the mouth and gagged her.
"Wait, didn't you say we'd go out to dinner together?" The young lady still has to struggle a little.
"Exercise before eating."
