Chapter 670 Huo Cun's Miracle "He's Not For Money"

Rothaus gently tapped the desk with the folder in his hand, and said: "Manager Schindelmaiser is thinking about the development of the Far East market, and Coach Lannick is thinking about the team's performance. I think even if the sale Li Huan, it's not impossible for the two to be unified. Li Huan is gone. There is still a Chinese player in our team. Although it is not possible that this Chinese player will not have Li Huan's fame and strength, it can also attract the attention of many Chinese fans. Then use the money from Li Huan's transfer to replenish two capable players, and the negative effects of Li Huan's transfer can be minimized."

After listening to Rothaus, Lannick showed disappointment on his face, and said: "You are talking about the Chinese player in the reserve team. He can't do it. He doesn't have the strength to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga."

Rothaus smiled and said: "I didn't say he is good, but as long as you get him into the first team, the Chinese media will praise him, and he will be able to attract Chinese fans. He just goes up and kicks a few times, and it doesn't depend on him to win the championship."

Lannick pondered: "This is a good idea."

Although Schindelmaizer disagreed with the sale of Li Huan, he had to admit that what Rothaus said was reasonable. He said: "The idea of ​​the manager Rothaus can also solve part of the problem of market development, but I still I think that Li Huan's contribution to Hoffenheim is not only his ability to contribute goals and assists, but also the spiritual pillar of Hoffenheim. We have repeatedly been able to reverse the opponent and withstand the pressure when we are in a critical situation. Li Huan has contributed a lot. In addition, as the world's footballer, he can also bring great psychological pressure to the opponent."

Rangnick said: "I have already considered what manager Schindelmaiser said, but we have to adapt to Hoffenheim without Li Huan, and we are not inseparable from Li Huan, just like the German Cup, even in the substitute and youth teams In the case of participating, we still reached the final. Isn’t it possible for the league and the Champions League? Baker is a substitute I prepared for today’s situation. Everyone has seen that Baker’s performance is very good. Arshavin played against Baker on the wing. The cooperation of the team can fully achieve Li Huan's offensive and defensive capabilities."

Hope, who had been listening quietly all this time, suddenly interjected, "Then who can replace Xiao Li Feidao?"

Lannick's face was a little embarrassed, but he had already been prepared for this, and said: "Xiao Li's flying knife is unparalleled in the world, and no one can completely replace him, but Sarihovic's free kick skills are also very good, and from Li Huan's I have learned a lot of skills, but because Li Huan is here, Sarihovic has no chance to make a shot, and he can partially replace Li Huan's role."

Hope asked again, "Ralph, do you agree to sell Li Huan?"

Lannick shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Dietmar, on the contrary, I am against selling Li Huan, but now it seems that we must be prepared to lose Li Huan. What I said today is to let everyone understand from the perspective of the head coach. Without Li Huan, Hoffenheim will not be in a doomed situation."

Schindelmaiser said: "But if we don't try our best to keep Li Huan, it's even more impossible for Li Huan to stay."

Rothouse said: "Actually, it's also possible that Li Huan's agent is messing with all of this. Li Huan's transfer involves hundreds of millions of funds. Even if he takes a 5.00% commission, it will still be 500 million. If it is [-]%, it will be even more. many."

Hope waved his hand and said: "No matter what the reason is, Li Huan has a great relationship with Hoffenheim. It can be said that Li Huan and coach Ralph are the biggest contributors to the rise of Hoffenheim. Many championships, especially the Champions League, are very difficult to say. Whether Li Huan can stay or not, we must take it as the biggest thing for the club. We will try our best to negotiate with his agent Watts to see if we can keep Li Huan and do a good job of Li Huan. The preparations for the transfer, and the contract renewals of other players must be done as soon as possible, and the whole work of the club cannot be affected because of Li Huan."

When Hope asked whether we could win so many championships without Li Huan, especially in the Champions League, Lannick's face changed, but he stopped talking because Hope signed Li Huan himself, so he denied Li Huan. It is tantamount to denying Hope. Of course, Lannick can't do such a stupid thing, but he is very dissatisfied with the view that without Li Huan, there would be no Hoffenheim dynasty. He admits Li Huan's ability to decide the game, but at the same time he thinks it is the team's The credit is the foundation laid down by his coach, and it is the result of the media and UEFA making gods to attribute all the credit to Li Huan.

Schindelmaiser was very happy and said: "There may be many things that Li Huan can't tell you directly. We can have a good talk with Watts. I believe things will turn around. I don't believe in a new environment at all. No Motivation without desire, in this case, cheating teenage children is almost the same, and there are still people in the professional football world who don’t want money, what a joke.”

Rangnick sneered and said, "Even if Li Huan is thinking about money, are we going to satisfy him without limit? The last time Watts asked for a pre-tax annual salary of no less than 400 million, this time the team won the Bundesliga. Champion, I'm curious what numbers Watts will come up with."

Both Schindelmaiser and Rothaus were silent. This issue was not something they could decide. It was Hope who sat next to them who really paid for Hoffenheim.

Hope stood up, took a few steps, walked to the window sill and looked at the fans gathered in the distance of the Rhein-Neckar-Arena, then turned around abruptly, and spoke to the three powerful Hoffenheim players who were waiting for him to speak. The character said: "For him, I will break the principle once. Although this is not in line with my wishes, it is the only way to go. We will give him the world's first annual salary, 1200 million euros, after tax. If he wants to stay, he will stay. If you want, let him transfer, but the transfer fee cannot be equal to [-] million. Since Li Huan has no clear transfer target yet, I think he is also considering it for the club. Too much."

1200 million after tax? !

Lannick, Schindelmaiser, and Rothaus were almost stunned. This number was indeed beyond their expectations. In their opinion, Hope is not such an irrational person. Germany has high taxes. The annual salary is enough to cover the expenses of a Bundesliga team for one season, and it is more than twice that of Ribery, Bayern's highest annual salary.If the annual salary of Hoffenheim's other players remains the same, Li Huan's annual salary is almost the sum of the annual salary of the other seven or eight main players.It seemed that Hope really liked Li Huan to the extreme.

After Shendelmeiser was extremely shocked, he said, "What about the annual salaries of other players?"

Hope said: "Others are still increasing at the originally agreed rate of 20.00%, and individual players can improve."

Lenny Hodder stood up and said, "Other players must have opinions?"

Hope said coldly: "If you have an opinion, you don't have to sign. We can't all give them the same high salary as Li Huan. If you want to get a high salary, it depends on your performance."

Rothaus, Schindelmaiser, and Lannick were all speechless. They understood what Hope meant. As long as Li Huan could be kept, other people could let them go if they didn’t want to sign. Without Arshavin, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Saviola , Simunić and others, Hoffenheim also won the Bundesliga championship.

On the second day of the Hoffenheim club's holiday, Watts was invited by Hoffenheim's manager Schindelmaiser to a private club opened by Hope in Sinsheim, but Hope himself was not there. Only Schindelmaiser, who was in charge of player signings, arrived.

Schindelmaiser was very enthusiastic when he saw Watts, like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. In fact, the relationship between the two was not harmonious because of Li Huan's problem. "Mr. Watts, it's really hard to meet you. You must have made a lot of money recently. I heard that you have invested in the electronics business again."

Watts was also very enthusiastic, "I just talked about what happened, and it was spread out before it was implemented, these reporters."

"It's because you are very popular." Schindelmaiser said with a chuckle, "Come on, Mr. Watts."

After the two parties sat down to watch tea, Schindelmaiser said solemnly: "The reason for delaying Mr. Watts' time today is to talk to you about Li Huan's contract renewal."

Watts immediately showed a very surprised look, and said, "Contract renewal? Which player's contract renewal?"

Schindelmaiser smiled and said, "Of course it is Mr. Li Huan. He is the core of the team. The renewal should start with him."

Watts was even more surprised: "Manager Schindelmaiser, didn't Li Huan tell you and Mr. Hope that he would not renew his contract with Hoffenheim?"

Schindelmaiser still maintained a smile and said: "Mr. Watts, people don't talk dark words. What you and Mr. Li Huan want, the club knows very well. With Li Huan's performance, strength, reputation and market value, he is completely I should get a higher salary. At the end of the season, I have already discussed this with Mr. Hope, Manager Rothouse, and Coach Lannick, and it will definitely satisfy Li Huan."

After hearing this, Watts restrained his smile, and said seriously: "Manager Schindelmaiser, to be honest, Li Huan really plans to transfer, and this has nothing to do with annual salary..."

Schindelmaiser interrupted Watts with a smile, and said: "Mr. Watts, don't be busy with the transfer issue. Let me tell you what Mr. Hope means. He is going to give Li Huan the world The first highest salary, with an annual salary of 1200 million euros after tax.”

Now it was Watts' turn to be surprised, with an incredulous expression on his face, he said, "Mr. Hope really offered Li Huan an annual salary of 1200 million euros after tax."

Schindelmaiser's heart is indeed for the annual salary, but borrowing the pressure of the media is too dishonest, thanks to Mr. Hope treating him so favorably, but on the surface Shendelmaise still said indifferently: "Of course, this is Hopper Mr. Pu himself said that Li Huan is worthy of this annual salary."

Watts sighed. He really didn't expect that Hoffenheim Club would spend such a large amount of money to keep Li Huan. This is another Bundesliga record. Manager Delmaize, Li Huan really wants to transfer, not for annual salary."

Schindelmaiser stood up suddenly, his face sank, and said: "Mr. Watts, people can't be too greedy. This annual salary is the highest no matter which league it is placed in. No matter in terms of money or reputation, Hofen Haim has given Li Huan the greatest respect, if he cannot accept this annual salary, we will not be able to offer a higher annual salary."

Watts spread his hands and said: "Manager Schindelmaiser, what do you want me to say? It really has nothing to do with the annual salary. Maybe when Li Huan transferred, the annual salary was lower than that offered by Hoffenheim. He I really hope to change the environment, this is what Li Huan told me personally."

Schindelmaiser shook his head and said: "Mr. Watts, we are also old acquaintances. We met when you were still at the Stuttgart club. Tell me, what does this Chinese person want? Is it all? Portrait rights?"

Watts also said solemnly: "Manager Schindelmaiser, not all Chinese people are greedy for money. Li Huan really didn't do it for the annual salary, and he didn't mention the portrait rights to me. He just wanted to change the environment so that he could continue I don’t know if he is smart or a fool for his motivation to fight on the court, but this is indeed what he told me personally. As early as during the winter break, he mentioned that if Hoffenheim wins the championship, he will leave."

Shendelmeiser said: "I still don't believe it. It must be that other clubs have promised you a higher annual salary, or Mr. Watts hopes that Li Huan will transfer, so you will definitely have greater benefits, but these clubs have also considered it. , You have helped Hoffenheim a lot over the years, and Hoffenheim has won so many championships, and you are also a hero behind the scenes. If this renewal is successful, you will naturally have a generous gift in addition to the commission."

Watts stood up abruptly and said angrily: "Manager Schindelmaiser, what do you mean? Are you doubting my professional ethics? I can tell you very clearly that I actually persuaded Li Huan, I hope he doesn't want to transfer, but he doesn't listen and insists on a transfer."

It's no wonder that Watts was angry. In his career as an agent, this was the first time that he didn't consider his own personal interests. Instead, Schindelmaizer believed that he encouraged Li Huan to transfer in order to make huge profits. How could he not be burning with anger.

Schindelmaiser could tell from Watts's expression that this vampire was not in disguise. It seemed that this was Li Huan's own intention, and he murmured: "Chinese people are too mysterious and weird, okay, Mr. Watts , I apologize to you, but I hope you can persuade Li Huan again, the conditions we offered are generous enough, and the risk of his transfer is not small, this is a matter of cooperation that benefits both, and division that hurts both."

Watts sighed, got up and left, and said, "Manager Schindelmaiser, I can only convey your words. It's up to him to listen or not. I can't interfere with his decision. I have something to do, so I'll go back first."

"Thank you, as long as you convey it to Li Huan."

After Schindelmaiser finished speaking, he wanted to keep Watts for dinner, but Watts refused to say that he had something to do and left the private club.
