Chapter 81 Annual Salary Equals Value (2)

(Thanks guys, this week's Knife Guards are consistently in the top three."

After seeing Karlsruhe's quotation, Watts was very unhappy and said, "Manager William, is the annual salary of [-] euros you mentioned before or after tax?"

William is a very deep person with negotiating skills, his face remained unchanged, and said: "Of course it is before tax. This is already the mid-range salary of the main players of the Bundesliga Second Division. Forint and Caplani are also like this. level."

"Manager William, do you think this annual salary is worthy of Li's strength? He has saved a lot of transfer fees for the Karlsruhe club." Watts asked rhetorically.

William's smile remained unchanged, and he said: "Watz, my friend, this is not the first time we have cooperated. You should know the situation of the players you sent. We have considered that such an annual salary does not require a transfer fee." Problem."

"The original players are in the past. Their strength is not enough, but Li is fully capable of gaining a foothold in the Bundesliga or even the Bundesliga. Such an annual salary cannot reflect his value. If it is changed to after-tax, maybe I can consider it. "

"My friend, don't get excited. I admit that this Chinese man has shown great strength, but you have to know that he did not participate in the official game. Many players who performed well in the training game became poor in the official game." We are confused, and Chinese players have always had the disadvantage of weak successors. Chinese Yang, Chinese Shao, and Chinese Xie are all like this. It is very risky for us to sign a three-year high-salary contract.” William said patiently, he knew that with this The Stuttgart scout-agent must not be in a hurry when negotiating.

However, after Watts saw Li Huan's strength, he had confidence in his heart and a very tough attitude, and said: "William, I understand what you think, and I also know that Karlsruhe's current economy is not good, but I still can't do it under such conditions. Accept, with Li Huan's strength, if I accept this condition, then I will lose face in Baden-Wurttemberg in the future, my colleagues will laugh at me, and this Chinese who completely trusts me will also lose Trust me, maybe my choice was wrong and I should have taken Lee to Stuttgart."

William said: "Watz, you should know that I am not the only one who decides the transfer. I have to explain to the fans, players and Mr. Seiler. If such a player without any professional experience gets a top salary What will the main players who have played for many years in B think, the fans will call me a fool, the wage structure balance is the foundation of the German league, Watts, you have been in the German league for many years, you should understand this, this is not England and Spain.”

A player with a strong agent has the confidence, Watts stood up immediately and said: "William, maybe we have nothing to talk about, and now the summer transfer has just started, I think I should go to other clubs to see. "

William hurriedly stood up and patted Watts on the shoulder, saying: "Mr. Watts, sit down, the negotiation has just begun, so don't be so anxious. We can still negotiate about the annual salary, but signing for three years is definitely not enough. possible."

Watts sat down slowly, and said: "Mr. William, 7 euros before tax. My employer is a bachelor and the tax is very high. He can get a little more than 3 euros. You should know that in our country three What can [-] euros do? A bag of black bread costs two euros, and a cup of cappuccino coffee costs one euro. You can’t make my employer—a professional player—live like a migrant worker.”

William handed Watts a cigar and said, "Watz, I believe that our interests are common. Li Shi suddenly became eligible for a high salary, but not now. His annual salary changes year by year. As long as he performs well in the league, his annual salary will be greatly increased next year."

Watts understood the intention of the Karlsruhe club and first won Li Huan with a low salary. Once Li Huan performed well in the game, he would definitely attract the attention of Chinese domestic fans. At that time, the value Karlsruhe club got from the Chinese market would be difficult After guessing, it must be very cost-effective to give Li Huan a salary increase at that time.But Watts will not let William's wishful thinking succeed, he needs to win Li Huan's trust in this negotiation, and at the same time grab more profits for himself, Watts lit his cigar and took a deep breath, saying: " Manager William, I think we have room for negotiation if the annual salary exceeds [-] euros, otherwise we don't need to waste any more time."

William's expression was also serious, and he said, "Mr. Watts, I think it's best to negotiate if the annual salary is below 10 euros."

Watts was silent for a moment, then stood up again and said, "Manager William, I hope you can discuss it with Chairman Seiler and Coach Becker, and I will hear your reply tomorrow."

William didn't stop him this time, and said: "Well, I also hope that Mr. Watts and China Li have a good talk."

After Watts and William broke up, they went directly to the Phönix Hotel. The Karlsruhe club was already on vacation, but Li Huan was still staying in the hotel provided by the club for the time being.He called an interpreter, and after hearing what Watts had said about negotiating with Manager William, Li Huan pondered for a moment, and said, "Mr. Watts, I don't think we need to care too much about the annual salary. The annual salary is enough for me to live in Germany. As long as I play well in the league, my annual salary will increase next year."

Watts was very excited when he heard it: "How can it be done, they will make an inch. If we don't protect our own interests this time, then next time they will find a way to squeeze your income, and although the annual salary varies, but They are all adjusted based on the last annual salary. This time we not only have to negotiate with them on the annual salary, but also on the advertising contract, and the portrait rights cannot be used by them at will.”

When Li Huan was in China, he didn’t think much about the issue of portrait rights. In China, ordinary players are the slaves of the club, and it is difficult for big-name players to have equal dialogue with the club. The portrait rights are basically used by the club at will, and occasionally give two Rewards are not bad. Li Huan was very moved by Watts' professionalism and dedication. He felt that although the manager was a bit slick, he was a competent manager. He said seriously: "Mr. Watts, I don't mean Don't negotiate with the club at all, I mean don't get too stiff with them, after all, I still want to play in Karlsruhe, too stiff will affect the future."

Watts was very appreciative and said to Li Huan: "Li, you are the only Chinese I have seen that I admire. You have far-sightedness than many Chinese. They all like to be greedy for petty gains, and they will buy money for one euro. Fare evasion on the bus, only willing to buy discounted things when buying things.”

Li Huan frowned. Although he often heard that many foreign students left a bad impression on foreigners abroad, he could not tolerate foreigners looking down on their compatriots. Li Huan said coldly: "Mr. Watts, I seem to remember The Germans are more greedy for small and cheap, because I remember a joke that if you lose a dollar on the street, the Chinese will say that whoever picks it up will keep whoever buys medicine, but the Germans will buy it in the 100 square meters where it was lost. Inside, draw the coordinates and squares, and use a magnifying glass to find them one by one. It seems that the Germans are more greedy for cheap."
