As usual, it was a backpack and a bottle of water, and it was the fourth day that Lin Hong ran the street with the ball.

Every day when aiming at Nicole Robin in Guilaoshan Park, Lin Hong hopes that the voice of the young lady will sound behind him, but unfortunately she has never appeared after that day, if it weren't for the handkerchief embroidered with the word "ghost head" in the backpack, Lin Hong would almost have to suspect that everything that day was just a dream.

The young man's ignorant love seems to have ended before it has even begun.

After the training, Lin Hong returned to the club with some loss, and his teammates greeted him and saw that Lin Hong's interest was not high.

Fortunately, the chef's skills in the restaurant are as good as ever, except for natto and seaweed, Lin Hong likes the rest of the things, and after killing the breakfast for six people by himself, Lin Hong was called to Takeshi Okada's office.

Lin Hong's heart was a little excited, it had been almost 20 days since he came to Japan, and he finally ushered in today.

In fact, Lin Hong knew that he should have passed the trial as soon as the training match ended, and he was very confident that Imabari FC would sign him, as for why he waited until now to negotiate the contract, Lin Hong didn't know, but he knew that as long as he was getting better and better, the more the price would be when negotiating.

Lin Hong came to Takeshi Okada's office for the first time, the decoration style can not be said to be simple, it can only be said to be simple, he visually measured that the yellowed wind deflector on the Hitachi air conditioner should be at least more than 15 years of service, the desk is also old, and the wooden floor is grinding out the feeling of pulp.

Thinking about the fresh and healthy ingredients in the club's restaurant, thinking about the brand-new training equipment in the gym, thinking about the freshly changed natural turf on the field, and thinking about the big bosses in China, Lin Hong suddenly became extremely envious of the football craftsmen like Takeshi Okada in Japan.

"Lin Hong, in fact, I should have talked to you a few days ago, but I haven't waited for a reply from the Japanese Football Association, so I have delayed until now."

Takeshi Okada's words made Lin Hong feel inexplicable, he didn't expect that one of his trial players would be associated with the Japanese Football Association.

"I don't understand Mr. Okada!"

Takeshi Okada: "Do you know the legal age of majority in Japan? ”

Lin Hong: "At the age of 20, I heard my teammates talk about it. ”

Takeshi Okada: "That's right, the legal age of majority in Japan is 20 years old, and you in China will reach adulthood when you reach the age of 18. Unfortunately, you're just over 18 years old now. ”

Lin Hong: "I still don't understand, is there any difference?" ”

Takeshi Okada: "There is a difference, and the difference is very big. Japan's labor law makes it illegal to hire minors who are below high school students, and child labor is a very serious crime.

The few of them who came with you are different because they are on loan and the contract is signed with the Hulk Club. ”

Lin Hong listened to Takeshi Okada's introduction and seemed to understand a little, "But the sports school I went to in China is also a secondary school with school qualifications, and it is the same level as high school." ”

Takeshi Okada: "No, I'm sorry to tell you that the Japanese Education Agency does not recognize Chinese secondary school qualifications, and you have no experience of attending high school in China, which means that no club in Japan can sign a professional contract with you until you reach the age of 20. ”

Lin Hong was dumbfounded when he heard this, what fucking law is this, isn't this kicking and moving bricks the same as manual work, how can people who are almost 19 years old even have to move bricks in Chinese?

Now is not the time to complain about Japanese law, since Takeshi Okada handed himself over to the office and just mentioned the Japanese Football Association, there must be a solution.

"So what do I have to do to sign a career contract?"

Takeshi Okada is satisfied with Lin Hong's composure, which will allow him to go far on the court.

"At the moment, there are only three ways, the first is to wait, when you turn 20 we will sign a contract, until then you can only play in the amateur league, it just so happens that we played in the JFC this year is the amateur league. But the problem is that even if we promote to J3 next year, you will still be underage in the first half of the season, we will not be able to register you, and you will miss the first half of the season before next summer's transfer window. ”

Lin Hong: "It's not okay, I need to compete now to improve myself." ”

This plan definitely doesn't work, Lin Hong would rather go back to China than wait in Japan, and he still doesn't believe that he can't kick it out if he has the blessing of the system.

Takeshi Okada: "Don't worry, you're in a period of rapid growth, and we don't want to choose this plan." The second option is that we apply for high school admission in Japan, and you can sign a career contract in the name of work-study as long as you enroll, and you can apply for a leave of absence to concentrate on playing football after one academic year in school. Personally, I'm partial to this option, it's highly feasible, and it doesn't affect you to play in the professional league next season. ”

What Takeshi Okada said is indeed right, it seems that Daisuke Yoshii has signed a professional contract now, and he is also ready to take a leave of absence next season to concentrate on playing in the professional league.

But Lin Hong is unwilling, he is not a person who loves to learn, if he still has to go to school in Japan, isn't this nonsense.

And the most critical point, it is said that the current Japanese textbooks have changed beyond recognition, and he can't guarantee that he will burn the book as soon as he gets it, or simply fight with the history teacher, rather than being expelled for beating the teacher at that time, it is better not to go to this ghost high school in the first place.

"Thank you for your kindness Mr. Okada, I can't go to high school, I think you should know the reason, I hope you understand!"

China and Japan have made a lot of trouble because of the textbook incident, and Takeshi Okada, who is overwhelmed by the news and the Internet, has naturally seen it, so he can only sigh about Lin Hong's choice.

"Well, we respect your choice. Then it seems that the only option is the third option. Under Japanese law, even if you are underage, you can sign a reserve player contract with us. ”

The youth training in Japanese football is excellent, there are leagues between schools at all levels, and many excellent players have come out of the competition in such school competitions.

Because the players in the school league are young and scattered, they generally choose clubs closer to their hometowns for professional training. But because they are underage and have not yet reached high school, the club has no contract binding on them, and when they graduate from high school and are about to enter high school, the big clubs that have long been eyeing small players will poach them, whether it is a small player or a parent, it is difficult to refuse the conditions given by the big club.

As a result, small clubs often spend a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but in the end, the big clubs pick the fruit.

The Japanese Football Association later realized that continuing like this would not only damage the interests of small clubs, but also be detrimental to the development of Japanese football youth training, so the Japanese Football Association and the Japanese Education Agency finally issued a 'reserve player contract' after several years of negotiations, aiming to protect small clubs from being forcibly poached by large clubs for outstanding young players.

In addition, young players who are on reserve contracts can be called up as reserve players for the club and can play all competitions for the club, including the professional league.

Lin Hong: "So what is the difference between this 'reserve player contract' and the professional player contract? ”

Takeshi Okada: "There are big differences, but the most important ones are mainly two points. The first is the length of the contract, in order to protect the interests of young players to the greatest extent, the maximum contract period for reserve players is three years.

Another point is the salary, to be honest, it is not a salary, it can only be regarded as a nutritional subsidy. There are strict regulations on the subsidy for young players of all ages in the reserve player contract, and it is strictly forbidden to sign a yin and yang contract, otherwise it will be very serious once it is found. Naturally, you can get the top allowance for your age, but it's only 30,000 yen per week.

To be honest, we are very optimistic about your potential, and the three-year contract period is too short for us to go down. Of course, when you're 20 years old, we'll be able to convert your development contract into a professional contract, and you'll get a big boost at that point. ”

The contract period Lin Hong doesn't think about it, the player's first contract basically will not have a short contract, the club is not a fool, especially the optimistic players can't let go easily.

But the weekly salary of 30,000 yen, no, is a subsidy, Lin Hongmo calculated that the exchange rate is less than 1,900 yuan, a little more than 7,500 a month, this money may be acceptable in China, but this is Japan, the average salary is 20,000, and the high prices are scary Japan.

At the beginning of his career, Lin Hong could accept the reality that the salary was not high, but he did not accept playing football with a discount, which had nothing to do with his dreams.

"Mr. Okada, I can't accept this so-called subsidy!"

Since this is a contract negotiation, Lin Hong must put forward his demands, which is related to his career plan for the next two or three years, so naturally he cannot be ambiguous.

Takeshi Okada heard this and looked at Lin Hong again, a young player without an agent, facing the first contract in his career, Lin Hong did not appear anxious and panicked, he could keep the bottom line he wanted, and he was very resolute, which is not an easy thing.

"Of course, we also know that this is too low, so we thought of subsidizing you in another way, and that is the bonus."

Lin Hong: "Bonus? ”

Takeshi Okada: "That's right, it's a bonus. There are a total of 18 teams in the JFL League, with 34 games in a season of double round-robin home and away, and at least one game in the Ehime Prefectural Qualifiers for the Emperor's Cup. In at least 35 official matches throughout the year, you will receive 3,000 yen for every goal you score, 10,000 yen for each assist, 1 million yen for helping the club to advance, and another 500,000 yen if the club wins.

The amount of these bonuses is indeed not high, not to mention compared to Europe, even the Chinese Super League is much higher than this, but you have to know that the salary and bonuses of Japanese clubs are not high, and we are not playing in a professional league now, and the bonus issued to you is already considered a high level in the JFL league. ”

A string of numbers was reported, and Lin Hong subconsciously converted it into RMB, with an appearance fee of 180 yuan, a goal bonus of 1,200 yuan, an assist of 600 yuan, an upgrade bonus of 60,000 yuan, and a championship bonus of 30,000 yuan.

Lin Hong is making all kinds of calculations in his heart, he is calculating how many times he has to play and how many goals he has to score in order to enter and exit the club door freely.

At present, it seems that as long as he is still in Japan, he can't sign a professional contract elsewhere in his own situation, and Lin Hong doesn't want to leave Japan for the time being, because he feels that the progress brought to him here is incomparable in China, and he doesn't have any channels in Europe now, and it is the safest choice to develop obscene development in Japan.

Takeshi Okada's proposal is actually full of sincerity, as long as Lin Hong maintains his appearance rate, as long as there is one goal in three games, he can basically afford to drink the mineral water in the store.

If you can add an assist in three games, you can get a sticky bean bag while drinking mineral water!

If it's two games into one, who rarely drinks mineral water, dares to rub their arms when they go out, iced tea with oden!

If you have one goal per game, you can sit in an Internet café during the holidays, and Red Bull Huazi will sit on the table!

As for the red romance and bubble bath, Lin Hong has never seen that thing, and he doesn't know how many goals he has to score, so it is estimated that it is hopeless not to play in the professional league.

Well, since you have reached this point, then don't think about the dead wages of drought and flood protection, and it depends on your ability to eat bran and drink thin or beer roast chicken.

Fight!

"Okay, I agree to this third plan, Mr. Okada, I also agree with the amount of bonus you proposed, but if I can get personal honor, I don't know if there will be a bonus?"

People don't take teenagers lightly, since they have reached the point where they can only make money by bonuses, why don't they want to make two more money. Didn't Xing Ye say that if people don't have dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish!

"Personal honor?"

Takeshi Okada was proud to see that Lin Hong agreed to the plan, but he didn't expect Lin Hong to have an additional project immediately, what a difficult little ghost.

"Yes, I think you're ignoring the possibility of my personal accolades, like if I get the top scorer in the JFL league this season or the best player of the season, shouldn't the club reward me?"

Takeshi Okada really didn't think of this before, maybe he subconsciously thought that Lin Hong couldn't do this, so he didn't think about it at all, but since Lin Hong said it, he still had to give a reply.

"Well, if you can get the top scorer, the club will award an additional 1 million yen, and the best player of the season will be 2 million yen, do you think it's okay?"

The price offered by Takeshi Okada is not low, but this is because he doesn't believe that Lin Hong can do these two things.

Seeing that Takeshi Okada readily agreed to himself, Lin Hong was also very happy, and he could be regarded as finding a good goal for himself, if he could do it, he would not have to shrink back in the future, whether he was in Japan or returning to China to buy something.

In fact, there is another key thing in the player contract that Lin Hong did not talk about, that is, the player's portrait right.

But Lin Hong is nothing now, not even a professional league, and image rights are a joke. If you want to earn from portrait rights, then work hard to kick it out, as long as you reach a certain level, crying and shouting to renew the contract with Lin Hong, to give Lin Hong a raise, and to give Lin Hong the income from portrait rights.

In short, for the freedom of bubble baths, phew, for the freedom of iced tea, work hard!
