Chapter Seventy-Two: 'Generous' Barça
Just when the outside world was hyping Lin Quan and Messi together, and German reporters were looking for him all over the world, Lin Quan had already quietly taken a plane and flew back to Spain.
Originally, I said hello to Guardiola and didn't need to send someone to pick up the airport, but when Lin Quan arrived at Barcelona Airport, he still met the person who picked him up.
"Uncle Perret, why are you here?"
The person who picked up the airport was Pep Guardiola's younger brother, Pere Guardiola, who, like Guardiola, used to be a professional player, but retired early due to poor talent and later transformed into an agent.
In Lin Quan's mind, this is a very busy person, often traveling back and forth between Europe and Latin America to recruit young players who have not yet been signed by other agents.
"I watched your game against Bayern and found that you had an ankle injury, thinking that you had difficulty moving, so I said hello to Pep and came to pick you up!"
Pere was very enthusiastic, took the initiative to take the suitcase in Lin Quan's hand, and took him to his car.
"Pep and Serra's wedding took place in an ancient castle by the sea, did it take you straight there, or did it take you home first?"
Starting the car, Perret asked Lin Quan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sideways.
"What time is the wedding tomorrow?"
"Do you have anything to do at half past nine in the morning?"
"Well, I want to go to the Barcelona club to ask for a salary, it just so happens that Uncle Perre, you are familiar with this part of the business, can you please come with me?"
Of course, Pere can't ask for this, he has not yet become a famous big-name star, and Lin Quan is famous in the Bundesliga, and the future is limitless, if he can sign him, it can be said that it is a huge progress for his career!
"Of course, I have a lot of dealings with Barcelona and I am very familiar with the situation of the club, so let's go straight over!"
So the two left the airport and went straight to the Barcelona club.
……
In the office of the Barcelona youth manager, Enrique sighed.
The team's contract renewal work with Lin Quan is not going well, and the opponent's performance in the Bundesliga is getting brighter day by day, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
He asked Chairman Russell several times on this matter, but the attitude of the other party was very cold.
This gave Enrique a bad feeling that he might well be abandoned as an outcast.
Especially within the club, there is news that Martino will take over the position of Barcelona after Vilanova, which confirms his worries even more!
"Hmph, it's you who don't talk about honesty first, no wonder I flipped the table!"
Enrique has already made a decision, if Rusell really abandons him as an outcast, then when he leaves Barcelona, he must shake out all the black material of Russell.
You do the first year of junior high school and I do the fifteenth, see who is worthy of whom!
Knock knock!
Just then, there was a sharp knock on the door outside the office.
"Come in!"
Enrique was irritable and shouted impatiently.
The office door was pushed open, and Barça's sporting director, Subisareta, walked in with a balding middle-aged man with an ugly face.
Enrique glanced at the visitor and was stunned for a moment, this person looks too similar to former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, right?
"Who is this?"
Enrique asked, puzzled, and Subisareta explained:
"He's the younger brother of Coach Pep Guardiola!"
Enrique was a little puzzled, what did Pep Guardiola's younger brother do when he came to the youth team?
Even if he wants to return to Barcelona to coach again, then he should go to the office of the president of the club and run here to do what he is doing?
"Ahem, the matter I came to deal with today has nothing to do with Pep, I accepted the commission of my nephew, that is, Lin Quan, and came to the club to ask for his bonus and salary, this is a contract, presumably the club will not admit it, right?"
The matter of asking for a salary actually has nothing to do with Enrique, but Subisareta insists on bringing Pere to him, and Pere naturally doesn't care, as long as he can get the money, his mission is completed.
He believes that this kind of thing will definitely be solved for him by the Barcelona side, and it is impossible to play the ball like this all the time.
Otherwise, if he breaks the news about this matter, it will definitely have a serious negative impact on Barcelona's reputation.
Lin Quan's loan contract was agreed to by Enriqueli at the beginning, and the salary of this contract is not high, but the bonus is very high.
I thought that Lin Quan would not be able to play in a highly competitive league like the Bundesliga, and it would be difficult to score goals.
As a result, he didn't expect him to play like a fish in water in the Bundesliga and score goals, which made Barcelona feel like a big loss.
So, Subisareta complained about Enrique in her heart, and then she found Enrique's head.
If Enrique hadn't insisted on his opinion and agreed to the contract of giving Lin Quan ten times the bonus, there would be no such thing now.
Enrique was a little angry, Subisareta had also nodded and agreed to the contract, and now he wanted to dump the pot on his head completely.
Sure enough, the rumors from above were right, and he lost the competition with Martino.
Otherwise, they wouldn't treat themselves like that.
Thinking of this, Enrique also broke the jar, anyway, it was Barcelona's money, just give it to him, and he didn't have to pay out of his own pocket.
"Well, of course I won't pay the bills, let's calculate the salary and bonus now, it just so happens that Mr. Subisareta is here, you can directly ask him for money after you calculate it!"
When Subisareta heard Enrique's words, she snorted coldly, and was very unhappy in her heart:
How dare a youth coach dictate to his sporting director?
Do you think you're the Barcelona manager?
"Okay, let's start the math!"
Pere didn't care what the two of them were thinking, he calculated a series of bonuses such as Lin Quan's appearance fee, goal bonus and assist bonus in the Bundesliga according to the amount specified in the contract.
The final calculation was 327,000 euros, which surprised both Enrique and Subisareta.
Is 320,000 euros more?
In fact, it is not much, and there are many players in the Barcelona club whose salaries are much higher than this.
However, Lin Quan signed a contract with the youth team, and the annual salary of the youth team is only tens of thousands of euros, and he has only been playing for a month, and he has received a bonus more than ten times his annual salary, is this reasonable?
"That, Mr. Perret, are you miscalculated, how can Lin Quan's bonus be so high, this bonus has already exceeded half of the players in the Barcelona team!"
The Bundesliga has only been playing for a month, and he has received a bonus of more than 300,000 euros, so when the Bundesliga is finished, won't his year's bonus go to two or three million euros?
Two or three million euros a year is not an exaggeration, after all, Barcelona's average annual salary is 6.3 million euros, which is less than half of the average annual salary in the Barcelona team.
However, Lin Quan did not get a salary, but a bonus.
In terms of bonuses alone, there are no more than five people in the Barcelona team who can surpass him!
That's an exaggeration!
"That's right, it's written clearly in black and white, I don't believe you can see it yourself!"
Pere didn't mind handing over the results of his calculations and the detailed calculation process to the other party.
Enrique and Subisareta looked at each other and looked at each other seriously.
Looking at it, the two of them realized that something was not quite right.
"Well, Mr. Perret, you're also a professional player, so you should know that warm-up matches don't count in the main game, right?"
Enrique watched Perre count five warm-up games and two Telecom Cup games, with a few black lines hanging on his head.
Perret nodded, signaling that he knew this, but he asked rhetorically:
"Of course I know, but you didn't emphasize in your contract that warm-up games don't count, do you?"
Belch......
Enrique and Subisareta were speechless, do they still need to emphasize this kind of convention?
"You only said the games for Werder Bremen, you didn't say the warm-up games didn't count, right?
Since he didn't say it, Lin Quan also represented Werder Bremen in the warm-up match, so it is natural to count the bonus! ”
Pere looked confident, he felt that even if it went to court, it would be his reason, so he didn't panic at all.
"Then follow the contract!"
Enrique nodded indifferently, anyway, it wasn't him who paid for it, it was rotten, whatever!
Subisareta glared at Enrique, paid with some pain, and then asked:
"Mr. Perret, about Lin Quan's contract renewal work, you see ......"
300,000 yuan was given, which is not a big deal for Barcelona, which has a big family.
But this money can't be given in vain, he wants to show Lin Quan the sincerity of the club through the 300,000, so as to make a breakthrough in the renewal of the contract.
"Renewal? Lin Quan's contract has not expired yet, this question is not in a hurry, and when the contract expires, it is not too late for us to talk about it! ”
Perre's heart moved, but he didn't ask more, decisively took the money and left, and did not forget to thank the Barcelona club for its generosity before leaving.
Barça is indeed generous in offering such a high bonus to a player who is not yet 17 years old.
It's just that this kind of talk, to Enrique and Subisareta, sounds like mocking them!
