Chapter 61 I'm Worth This Much Money

"Head, half a season, 11 league goals, 4 German Cup goals, I think my asking price is not high."

In all fairness, Stevens felt that Tang Zhenglong's asking price was a bit high, but it was still reasonable.

"Then I'll discuss it with Achim."

Emma said with a smile: "I hope the Cologne club can make a decision quickly, otherwise my client may not be able to guarantee to play for Cologne again."

Holding the bill, Tang Zhenglong's flesh hurts.

"Isn't Michelin a tire? When will it become a restaurant? And the price is so expensive?"

"Michelin three stars, the two of us ate for 600 euros, which is very cheap, and you have to feel lucky, because it is difficult to locate a Michelin restaurant, and I only did it three days ago."

Tang Zhenglong wanted to cry.

"That means you wanted to kill me three days ago?"

"Who told you that you are rich." Emma chuckled.

"Rich man? The contract hasn't been negotiated yet."

"You are already rich with your current income, do you know? According to German income statistics, you can already be considered rich."

"Crazy, I'm a player, and I've only played for more than ten years. If you calculate the general ledger, I'm probably a poor household in Germany."

"Hahaha."

"Okay, don't cry, just smile, don't worry, the contract will definitely be negotiated."

Tang Zhenglong didn't think so.

"Achim is a miser, like every boss in the second division."

Emma patted Tang Zhenglong, "Thank you for your dinner."

"Just go like this? Don't spend the night with me."

Emma said angrily, "I advise you not to offend a lawyer."

"Ha ha."

Achim smoked a cigar and laughed wantonly.

"I like Tang Zhenglong very much. This kid is very arrogant, but he shouldn't be arrogant with me. You can reply to him. The price is 28 yuan. Don't try to get another penny from me."

Stevens was in a dilemma.

"Manager, I don't think Tang's asking price is too much. His goals are only behind Lucas. Think about how much Lucas is worth now."

Achim nodded, "I know, but the team has team rules, don't try to break the team rules."

"So is Tang!"

Stevens could only tell Tang Zhenglong the final decision.

"Don, think about it carefully."

Of course Tang Zhenglong couldn't sign the contract, because it was not just about money, but more importantly, about respect.

Soon, Tang Zhenglong began to fight back.

The "Cologne Courier" took a photo of Tang Zhenglong eating with the scouts from Frankfurt. The photo was taken secretly, so it was a bit blurry, but the newspaper insisted that it was the scouts from Frankfurt.

This kind of thing is very weird, because it is impossible for Cologne to call Frankfurt and ask if there is such a thing.

When he saw this news, Achim was very angry, because Frankfurt is the direct competitor of Cologne's promotion, if Tang Zhenglong is poached by them, it will be troublesome.

Achim can accept the Bundesliga team poaching Tang Zhenglong, it doesn't matter, but the direct competitor of the Bundesliga can't.

Absolutely not! !

Achim called Stevens and wanted to talk to Tang Zhenglong directly.

The two parties met again, this time in Achim's office, and Tang Zhenglong brought Emma with him.

Achim smiled and said, "Don, are you really getting involved with Frankfurt? Then I can only admire you."

Tang Zhenglong shrugged, "Boss, I've said it many times, it was a reporter's rumor. I didn't meet anyone in Frankfurt."

The more Tang Zhenglong denied it, the more Achim felt that this matter might be reliable. Think about it, the second striker in the second division of the Bundesliga, it is not a loss to spend some money to sign.

Anyway, this incident reminded Achim that he must sign a contract with Tang Zhenglong, and the matter could not be delayed any longer.

"Tang, I can give you an annual salary of 30, but there is no liquidated damages clause."

"Boss, my conditions have not changed and will not change, 36 annual salary plus liquidated damages."

The expression on Achim's face became more and more ugly. In Cologne, except for Podolski, no one could be so strong in front of him, and he didn't like this kind of strength.

Emma smiled and said: "Mr. Manager, German football is a very developed market. If you think our price is unreasonable, then Tang can find another home."

"It's not about the money, it's destabilizing the team, and if Don can do it, everybody else can."

"I don't think so, Don can do it because of his goals stats, but others can't because they don't have the capital to negotiate terms with the club."

"Don is still a rookie, he was nothing a few months ago."

Emma nodded, "I only know that the football circle uses strength as the standard. I haven't heard that the value of a player is judged by age."

Achim was a little helpless. Facing Tang Zhenglong's scoring statistics, the Cologne club became a disadvantaged group.

"Okay, I need a little time to think about it."

However, Achim saw a news that night that the chairman of Frankfurt expressed his strong interest in Tang Zhenglong. At this time, Achim decided not to wait any longer, and he agreed to Tang Zhenglong's request.

Tang Zhenglong called Emma and only said, "It's done."

*****
After the news that Tang Zhenglong signed a long-term contract with the team came out, the reporter found Tang Zhenglong, and the transfer soap opera of the Bundesliga Second Division was considered to be over.

"Why did you choose to stay in the second division?"

Tang Zhenglong said with a smile: "Because the Bundesliga teams are not sincere, their offers are all tentative, and they are unlikely to give me the main position immediately."

In terms of team strength, Cologne will not be much worse than the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga, so it is really not a wise choice to change teams.

"Can you tell us now, how many teams have really contacted you?"

Tang Zhenglong smiled, "I will never say this, but what I can tell you is that there are quite a few!"

Tang Zhenglong lied, but it was false and true, and the transfer soap opera is also a big drama that fans like to watch most.

"Christmas is coming, and a new contract has been signed, how do you plan to spend this New Year?"

Tang Zhenglong grinned, "I might take a group of beauties and find an island for Christmas."

"Haha."

"Hopefully you can do as well in the second half of the season."

"thank you all."

Looking back on this half season, Tang Zhenglong feels like a dream, but I have to say that this is a very good dream.

After paying Emma a commission of 1 euros, Tang Zhenglong wondered if it was time to buy a car for himself. Ferrari and the like were temporarily unaffordable, but Porsche should be able to afford it.

"Well, the next goal is to buy a car."
