Chapter 500 Not Working Hard Enough

Ballack never expected that the person who took the initiative to persuade him to stay was not the club's general manager Hoeness, but Rong Guang!

So when he heard these words, he raised his head in surprise and looked at Rong Guang in surprise.

"What did you say, Ron?" he asked, trying to make sure he hadn't misheard.

"I mean, why do you want to leave? You have played in Bayern Munich for three seasons, and you are familiar with this team, right? Even if there are some unsatisfactory things, it is better to go to a new team and start again? You will be 30 years old next year. Going to a new team at the age of 30 is not a very wise choice."

In order to allow Barack to stay, Rong Guang tried his best.

But I have to say, what he said made sense.

This is why Barack has been hesitating.

He had planned to reach the pinnacle of his career at Bayern Munich.When he came to Bayern Munich three years ago, he was 26 years old, which is the golden age of a player. With a four-season contract, he will be 30 years old.The most glorious four years of his career will stay at Bayern Munich.

But who ever thought that he did not reach the peak he expected in Bayern Munich.

So he had to risk another league and start over at the age of 30.

It's not just the tactics of the new team that have to adapt, but also the weather, food, culture, language of the new country...everything.

But he did have his heart broken for Bayern Munich's performance in Europe over the past three seasons.

Now that glory has come to the team, will Bayern Munich's performance improve?
From the first Champions League group game, there is no sign of this.

Bayern Munich played badly in that game. If it weren't for the glory, the away game against Vienna might be a draw for the best result.

But can Bayern Munich always rely on glory?
"Will I be sure to win the championship if I stay?" Ballack asked Rong Guang.

This time, Rong Guang didn't hesitate, but nodded quickly: "Yes, of course."

"You know I'm not talking about the league title," Ballack said.

Ballack is very clear that even if Bayern Munich's competitiveness in Europe is not strong, this Bayern Munich sideways in Germany is still no problem, so the unchallenging goal of winning the league championship is not worth mentioning at all.

"I know, the European champion. I came to Bayern Munich to win this." Rong Guang said confidently.

"Ron, I have a question." Barak asked. "Where does your self-confidence come from? Why are you so sure that you can win the championship?"

"I worked hard with the goal of being a champion, and then I think the result won't be too bad, right?" Rong Guang said.

"But sometimes, even if you work hard, you won't be the champion." Ballack said.

The topic circled around and went back to before.

In a football game, hard work does not necessarily lead to good results.

Too many failures made Barack believe this.

Unexpectedly, Rong Guang shook his head decisively this time: "If that's the case, I think it must be because I haven't worked hard enough."

Barak opened his mouth wide and looked at Rong Guang dully.

"If I work hard enough, I will win the championship. If I don't win the championship, it must be because I didn't work hard enough. That's what I think." Rong Guang repeated.

"But... luck..."

"Luck is bad, it must be that I haven't worked hard enough. If I work hard enough, I think even luck will be on my side." Rong Guang said firmly.

Rong Guang returned to the court and continued his astonishingly hard training under the scorching sun.

And Ballack didn't leave right away, but stood on the sidelines and watched Rongguang's training for a while.

The temperature in late September is not much lower than that of the scorching heat, especially at noon.

Under the sun exposure, the turf seems to be a little wilted.

At this time, everyone will choose to take a lunch break in the room, blowing the air conditioner, playing games...

But there is only Rong Guang alone in the team, and he is still training.

It is said that even Magath, the "devil", once asked Rongguang to reduce the training intensity and time because he was worried that he would train too hard.As far as Barak knows, the only person who can make "Devil" Magath do this is Rong Guang.

Not trying hard enough...

It was a bit funny to say these words from his mouth.

Such people are not working hard enough, so what are we?
But... he worked so hard, that's why he won so many championships, right?
※※※

Barack looked at it for a while, then turned and left.

Behind him, the sound of Rong Guang hitting a football with the back of his foot could be heard.

"If you don't win the championship, it must be because you haven't worked hard enough."

Rong Guang's voice sounded in his mind.

Not trying hard enough...?

Deborah brought back the latest progress of contract renewal negotiations for Rongguang.

"Bayern Munich is willing to give you an annual salary of 500 million euros after tax, plus a signing fee of 300 million euros, which is also after tax. In addition, the bonus is much higher than your current one. In addition, this annual salary increases by 15.00% every year. The contract lasts for four years."

"Sounds good, but..." Rong Guang looked at Deborah, hesitated and said, "Can we get better treatment?"

"I want to too, but it's hard." Deborah said shaking her head.

She really hopes to strive for better treatment, such as a higher salary, or if the salary cannot be raised, then give more signing fees.

That way she would have settled on a $100 million debt almost immediately.

But she had fought for a long time before she could get this treatment.Hoeness could not have given her more.

"Okay, that's not bad." Rong Guang didn't force Deborah.

The contract period is four years, with annual salary increases of 15.00%.The first year is 500 million, the second year is 570 million euros, the third year is 660 million, and the fourth year, which is the last year of the contract, is 760 million.Such a salary is already considered very high.

If Rongguang agrees to accept the contract, it will be a four-year contract worth approximately 500 million euros!
And that's after-tax, not pre-tax.

The difference between the two words saved Glory a lot of money.You must know that the tax rate in Germany is very heavy. With such income as Rongguang, the personal income tax has to pay 40.00%.If it is pre-tax, then the salary he actually received in the first year is only 270 million euros, which is far worse than the 500 million on paper... That huge psychological gap is not something ordinary people can bear.

So Hoeness agreed to change the annual salary from pre-tax to post-tax, which can also be said to fully express the sincerity of the club to leave glory.

Rong Guang really had no reason to be dissatisfied.

In addition to this salary, there is also a signing fee of 300 million.

This is different from salary, it will be credited immediately - as long as Rongguang signs the contract, he will immediately receive a signing fee of 300 million in his bank account.

"Tomorrow Hoeness will give me the contract text, and I'll show it to you for a good look," Deborah said.

Rong Guang nodded, and then he suddenly asked while eating: "Has your 100 million been enough?"

Deborah didn't expect Rongguang to take the initiative to mention this issue. Before that, she only mentioned it once in front of Rongguang, and Rongguang never took the initiative to mention it.

So when she heard Rong Guang say that now, she was very surprised.

She didn't understand why Rong Guang suddenly cared about this matter.

"I remember almost?" Rong Guang asked again.

"No. I have to pay taxes too." Deborah shook her head.

Deborah's savings would be enough if she didn't pay taxes.But first of all, she has to pay 40.00% personal income tax on her income, and secondly, she has to pay 20.00% interest tax on deposits in the bank.

Taxes in Germany are really high.

She now has a personal fortune of 75 euros.

But that's before taxes.

As a non-resident without a fixed property in Germany, people like Deborah have a special term in the German tax system-restricted taxpayers.

Restricted taxpayers are non-residents in Germany who pay personal income tax only on their income derived from sources in Germany.

But all of Deborah's income comes from within Germany...

So all her income is subject to personal income tax.And based on her income, her personal income tax rate is as high as 40.00%. Five...

Calculated in this way, the personal property of 75 euros is only 41 after paying taxes...

According to the current exchange rate, it is only equivalent to 50 US dollars...

It's still double the distance from $100 million!

(Remarks: I forgot to pay taxes on Deborah's income, so I mistakenly calculated Deborah's actual assets as high, and now the figure after tax deduction is correct. I'm really sorry, let's take this figure as the standard...)
"Only $50?" Rong Guang was also a little surprised. "so little?"

"Because the tax rate in Germany is high." Deborah explained the tax rate in Germany to Rong Guang in detail.

"The taxes in Germany are really high..." He clicked his tongue after listening to Deborah's analysis of the tax rates in Germany.Fortunately, with Deborah's efforts, all his income is calculated after tax, otherwise he would really be heartbroken...

Before, he always thought that Deborah would be done soon, after all, she had been with him for two seasons.I have made a lot of money in these two seasons, so as my agent, Deborah should also make a lot of money, right?

Who would have thought that the distance to the goal was only halfway!
At this rate, wouldn't it be two years before he could earn $100 million?

In other words, she will spend two years with her day and night...

For some reason, when thinking of this, Rong Guang actually felt relieved.

The nervousness and urgency before, as if she was counting down, disappeared—Deborah thought that Rongguang should not care about when she left, but in fact, there was always a clock in Rongguang's heart, and this clock began to count down since Deborah became her manager.

When the countdown reaches zero, that is when Deborah leaves her.

At first, Rongguang didn't feel anything about it, he left as soon as he left, and returned to zero when he returned to zero.

But as time dwindled, Rong Guang found that he was vaguely anxious about the countdown.

It's as if...something bad will happen when the time returns to zero.

He really didn't want that day to come.

Deborah was also quite surprised that Rong Guang actually cared about her savings: "Why do you want to ask this all of a sudden?"

"Uh, it's nothing...just asking casually." After Rong Guang finished speaking, in order to cover up, he lowered his head and started eating again.

Deborah looked at Rong Guang who was working hard, and frowned slightly in doubt.
