Chapter 80 Annual Salary Equals Value (1)

After the match with the first team, Watts took Li Huan to a nearby small bar called Kaolaqi to celebrate. Because the two of them spoke chicken-to-duck, Watts called Li Huan who was unable to watch Li Huan's game today. Braun also called. Braun contributed a lot during the process of Li Huan's arrival in Germany. Now Li Huan is basically considered a success. How can he be pulled down during the celebration.

Li Huan's success was within Braun's expectations, but Braun felt sincerely happy that Li Huan got his first professional contract so quickly. He raised his glass to congratulate Li Huan, "Li Huan, attack (Congratulations) you, your clock (finally) succeeded."

Li Huan picked up the big beer glass, drank it down, and said with a smile: "I also want to thank Mr. Braun, but it's too early to say success."

Braun said with a smile: "The biggest advantage of the Chinese is hypocrisy, but excessive hypocrisy is called ao (pride)."

Li Huan was overwhelmed by Braun. It is really harmful to learn half of Chinese, but there is no such risk in German. He smiled and said: "This is not pride, the contract has not been signed yet, the future competition I don't know how."

Watts had a drink with Braun and Li Huan, and said: "Li, there is one more thing. I want to tell you that Mr. William, the manager of the Karlsruhe club, will discuss your signing tomorrow, but you don't have one yet. Broker, if you trust me, I hope to get your authorization to negotiate with Mr. William."

Braun translated Watts' words to Li Huan, saying: "Li, Watts is my good friend, but I am not speaking for him from the perspective of a friend now. Watts is an excellent agent, and he can win for you. best interest."

Li Huan has actually been thinking about this matter for a long time. He doesn’t know anyone in Germany except Braun, and he doesn’t understand German, so it’s impossible for him to negotiate directly with the club. If Braun wants to be his agent, he will definitely not No objection. He has been in contact with Braun for a while. He is a very principled and kind person who can make people feel at ease, but he is a bit confused about Watts. He is very shrewd and even sophisticated. Sometimes there is an agent, and there have been a lot of conflicts with the agent. At the moment, he can't help but think about it, but now he has no other way. Even if he is proficient in German, he cannot directly negotiate with the club. This requires a lot of expertise. Li Huan had no choice but to accept Watts as his agent.

The above thought just flashed in Li Huan's mind, and he immediately said: "I have this intention, but I didn't know whether the trial training would be successful, so I never brought it up."

Watts was overjoyed, stood up and raised his glass and said: "Okay, I will draft a contract and give it to you tomorrow, and then I can talk to Mr. William."

Li Huan also raised his glass and said, "Okay, I'll leave everything to Mr. Watts."

Watts said: "Li, you are too polite, we will be a family from now on."

Braun smiled and said, "From what you've said, everyone in Karlsruhe attaches great importance to Li Huan. Tomorrow's contract should go well."

Watts confidently said to Li Huan and Braun: "Tomorrow I will definitely win a satisfactory contract for Li. Although Li's role is not good today, even the fans can see Li Huan's ability. I don't believe in Baker. Will, William, and the others won’t be able to see it.”

Li Huan said lightly: "You don't need to be too demanding, Mr. Watts. Besides, I don't want to sign a long-term contract. It's best to sign it once a year, or two years."

Watts was a little surprised by Li Huan's statement, because the players he brought from Africa and Asia hoped to sign long-term contracts with the club in order to have a stable income, but the Chinese player who played wild football in front of him actually only wanted to sign a short-term contract , Is he too confident in his own strength, or does he have other plans.But Watts felt that what Li Huan said was very funny. How could he get more commissions for a short signing period, and how could he get other clubs to pay a high transfer fee when he transferred in the future? No wonder some people say that China has almost no With the existence of an agent, the player doesn't understand the operation of the agent at all, but on the surface he still has to explain another way to Li Huan, saying: "Li, are you worried about the future transfer? Actually, you don't have to worry about it. As long as you are capable, there will definitely be clubs willing to pay transfer fees or even liquidated damages for you. If the contract you sign is too short, it will easily make the club doubt your loyalty, because generally speaking, only players who are not optimistic about the club or who are very old It will only be signed once a year."

Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Watts. There is an old saying in China that you don't need to be suspicious of someone who is suspicious. All these matters will be handled by you. You can handle it as you see fit."

Watts said: "Don't worry, although your salary standard cannot be compared with that of Shao in Munich 1860 due to fame and market development, your advantage is that you don't need to spend a penny on the transfer fee of the Karlsruhe club. So your annual salary will be the treatment of the main players of the first team. In addition, the club will rent you a house and reimburse the round-trip air tickets during the vacation. If your parents come to Germany, I will discuss with the club to find them a job. .”

Li Huanyi said, "My parents won't come to Germany. They have stable jobs in China. Besides, I don't have a driver's license yet, so I need to take a driver's license test in Germany."

Watts suggested: "A driver's license and German are necessary. I think that when you go to a strange country, you need to build a kind of trust. With mutual trust, you can do things well. The basis of trust is language communication. I think you’d better not go back this holiday, I’ll help you arrange German and driver’s license learning.”

Li Huan thought for a while and said, "Well, if possible, I will try my best to stay in Germany."

It's really hard for Braun to speak Chinese, and Li Huan's German can't complete the daily conversation. Most of the three people are chatting with Braun and Watts, and although Li Huan can't understand anything, he drinks and enjoys the bar by himself. The men and women in the film can also enjoy themselves. The three of them drank at the Kaolaqi Bar until 12 o'clock before going home to rest.
Early the next morning Watts brought the contract to the hotel where Li Huan was staying. Li Huan called his compatriots to translate for him. He has been a professional player for several years and knows very well about the contract. There is nothing wrong with the contract brought by Watts. Watts is responsible for his transfer, annual salary and advertising contract, and charges [-]% of the fee, so he signed signed a contract and authorized Watts to negotiate his own contract with the Karlsruhe club.

Like what he said with Watts at the Wilderpark, William did not meet with Watts in his office. He chose to communicate with Watts in a country-style hotel on the outskirts of Karlsruhe. Pleasant occasions are more conducive to negotiation.

Although Li Huan has shown a very high level of competition in the four days of training and competitions, he is completely suitable for the requirements of the Karlsruhe club, and Li Huan is also very willing to start his career in the Karlsruhe club, but the negotiation is still ongoing It is very difficult. The focus of the negotiation between the two parties is Li Huan's annual salary and contract. William believes that it is very risky to hire a player who has never played in a professional league, so he only plans to sign a one-year contract for Li Huan. Renewal, and Watts insisted on at least three years.There is also a dispute between the two sides on the annual salary. William only plans to give Li Huan an annual salary of 7 euros, an appearance fee of 600 euros, and a goal award of only 1860 euros. One, it is one-seventh of Dong Fangzhuo of the Manchester United youth team, and nearly one-hundredth of Sun Hai of Manchester City.
