Mister Legend

Chapter 34 Contract Renewal and Planning

The time came to November 2015, 11, at 10:[-] in the morning, Li Mudi held a temporary meeting of the coaching staff, and after handing over the next work to everyone, he missed the morning training for the second consecutive day.He walked out of Castilla's training ground and strolled towards Real Madrid's office building, the Valdebebas Center, not far from here.

The current contract is valid from July 7st to June 1th, 2016. The pre-tax annual salary is 6 euros and the after-tax is 30 euros. Twice the remaining salary.When the league schedule was less than a third of the way, the club offered to renew the contract. Although there is a bonus from the youth training incident, there is no doubt that on the negotiating table for the new contract, Li Mudi in an active position.And to take advantage of this advantage, he must plan some benefits for himself.

It is good to have an appointment. Arrive outside the chairman's office 10 minutes in advance, and the secretary will bring out a cup of coffee immediately, so that Li Moody will not be too idle while waiting for the summons.Then he himself entered the office to confirm the chairman's schedule, and soon led out a man in a suit and leather shoes, and after sending him out of the building, he came back and led Li Modi in to "meet" Lafayette.

This was the first time that Li Moody met with the Real Madrid president alone after he came to Real Madrid. The two had no interaction before, but had some simple exchanges during the leadership inspection of the Castilla training base and the team gathering at the end of the year.

Although there are various negative opinions about him in the world, no one will doubt that it is Mr. Florentino Perez who has brought the once downcast best team of the century back to the peak from the bottom of the valley.Since he was successfully elected as the chairman of Real Madrid in 2000, although he experienced the pain of forced resignation and the loss of his wife, he returned in 2009 and made indelible contributions to the great revival of Real Madrid time and time again.Helping the team repay nearly 3 million debts with zero losses, reforming the team's business operations, making Real Madrid one of the most commercially valuable and financially attractive clubs in the world, introducing a lot of football superstars... …and it all made the world witness the miracle of white again.And he has become the only one in the club's century-old history who is qualified to stand side by side with the legendary chairman, Mr. Santiago Bernabéu.

As a chairman, Lafayette is great; but as a businessman, he is ruthless and extremely difficult to deal with.If the coaches or stars he brought in with one hand lose their position in the team or his favor, they will be driven away mercilessly; while Calderon is surrounded by scandals, he can only leave the chairman's seat in despair. His intimidating smile.

Sitting on the chair in front of the chairman's desk, he respectfully greeted Mr. Chairman. While waiting for the other party to speak, Li Moody unconsciously connected him with Mr. Francisco, the chairman of Castile. Made a comparison.The same old man who is smiling all the time, but it feels like a world of difference.Don't look at Li Mudi's kind smile that can't be any more kind, but once he touches his bottom line, he will probably be knocked into the dust by him, and he will never make his way.So although the current situation is very favorable to him, Li Moody still treats this conversation with extreme caution.

"Li, thank you for taking the time to come to my place." Lafayette was quite polite.

Li Moody responded somewhat flattered: "My honor."

"First of all I would like to congratulate you, your recent work is really great. Of course, as a Meilinger, I also want to thank you, thank you for what you have done for us fans."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, I am also a Meilinger, so this is what I should do." Li Moody was still humble as always.

While the two Meilingers were exchanging greetings, he heard the door knocked twice. Lafayette smiled deeply, and said to the Castilla coach, "It should be Qi Zu." Then he said in the direction of the door : "Please come in."

Sure enough, Qi Zu walked into the office under the guidance of the secretary.

Zidane has a deep relationship with the other two people in this room, so after a brief greeting, everyone immediately got to the point.

Lafayette restrained his smile, and asked Li Mudi: "You must have learned from Qi Zu the purpose of coming here today. Now the club intends to sign a new contract with you. I heard that you have no agent yet. People, so I can only contact you directly to hear what you think about it?"

Sitting on the sofa, Qi Zu is a witness today, so he remains silent and will not get involved.

Li Mudi replied somewhat nervously according to the previously envisioned ideas: "Of course the new contract will be a good thing for me. I really don't have a manager, so I don't know much about it, but as long as the conditions meet my expectations , I think there is no problem."

Facing the old fox—ah no, Lafayette, the meaning of these words should be very clear.

Perhaps because he didn't take the contract extension of the head coach of the reserve team too seriously, Lafayette didn't care about it like he did with his business opponents. Instead, he generously took out a piece of paper from his hand, handed it over, and explained at the same time: "This is the basic draft of the clauses we have drawn up. After the negotiation is completed, we will make a contract and contact a lawyer for review. You can read it first, and if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to say so."

After receiving the draft, Li Modi carefully checked what was written on it.It's really simple. The contract period was extended to June 2017, 6. The annual salary has risen by more than half compared to the original one, reaching 30 euros after tax, and there is a signing fee of 25 euros.The only thing that makes Li Mudi feel unacceptable is the liquidated damages, which has become a common fixed value: 3 euros.

Through these contents, Li Mudi can probably guess the club's positioning for himself: the current team performance is good, and the probability of leading the team to upgrade is very high. Castilla's youth training has once again attracted the attention of the world, and it is worth renewing the contract .However, the price of the new contract should not be too high. It is not that it cannot be paid, but that it must conform to the team's salary positioning. Real Madrid has standardized treatment for players and coaches, and will not easily break this structure.If the team waits until the end of the season to confirm that the upgrade is successful before proposing to renew the contract, in the face of possible poaching from other teams, the treatment of the new contract is likely to exceed expectations.Therefore, giving a new contract at this time can achieve the purpose of rewarding yourself without giving yourself the opportunity to open your mouth. This timing is really painstaking!

This draft is similar to what was expected before, Li Mudi thought for a while, thinking if it is a good showdown, will it make Lafayette unhappy?

While hesitating, Qi Zu on the side coughed lightly, and seeing his friend turned his head, he suggested: "If you have other ideas, speak up boldly, don't worry about it, Mr. Chairman will seriously consider it."

yes!Who is Lafayette!How could he care about such a rookie as himself.

At this time, Mr. Florentino echoed: "Yes, Li, if you have other ideas, just say it. Although in terms of the existing club regulations, the possibility of further increase in the annual salary of this contract is not very high. , but I will try my best to help you get more benefits within my ability. And I can guarantee that if everything goes well, I will provide you with a new contract at the end of the season, and the annual salary will be increased by then , the club will not treat you badly."

To put it bluntly, this contract renewal is just that I don’t want to let myself leave for nothing when the contract expires next summer. The main reason is to extend the one-year period, so Li Mudi believes that there is a great possibility of a new contract at that time.But Li Mudi just didn't want to be trapped here, even if it was only for one more year.

Thinking of this, Li Moody put aside his worries and expressed his request: "Mr. Chairman, I am very happy that the club wants to give me a new contract, but I still have some objections to the specific terms. For example, breach of contract Kim's setup is not friendly enough. I'm a child of Real Madrid, I'll always love here, but you know, I won't stay in Castilla forever. And the first team coach seat, I think at least for a few years I don't have the right to expect extravagantly." After saying this, Li Mudi's eyes moved to Zidane's face, and the other two people also noticed and understood the meaning of the words.

After a slight pause, he continued: "If there is a good opportunity, I hope to be released by the team. Of course, if the team needs me again one day in the future, I will come back without hesitation and go back to my home Come." Li Moody's sincere eyes showed his highest acting skills at this time, if this can't impress Lafayette, then there is nothing to do.

After understanding it with emotion, move it with reason. "So I hope that the new contract can relax the terms of liquidated damages. For this reason, I am willing to lower the annual salary appropriately. It is even possible not to ask for a salary increase, as long as some incentive clauses are added."

Lafayette kept watching Li Mudi, his wise eyes flickered a few times, after a little thought, he agreed to the request of the Castilla coach.

最后的合同条款变为了：合同期限到2017年6月30日，税后年薪18万欧元，签字费2万欧元；违约金原则上是20万欧元，具体数值在李慕迪需要触发时再作商量；卡斯蒂利亚拿到联赛冠军奖励1万、升级成功奖励2万、拿到杯赛冠军奖励五千（这个杯赛信息以后会有介绍）。等到过两天合同做好后，在律师的见证下就可以签字生效了。

After negotiating the new contract, Li Mudi finally relaxed completely, and after Lafayette decided to invite his Qi Zu to have lunch together, he began to implement the next plan.

"Mr. Chairman, I don't know if you have paid attention to the team's transfer news recently. I heard that some teams want to rent Odegaard in the winter transfer window. Odegaard is now the main force of the reserve team and is performing very well, but If a higher-level team wants to rent him, should we consider providing him with better training opportunities, after all, he and Mbappe have not been challenged in West Division B. And he is preparing There were still games to play in the team, but once transferred to the first team, he could only be a training partner. Similarly, Mbappe has played very little in the past month and has grown very slowly. Regarding the training of these young players, I believe I urgently need the club’s top management to give me a clear direction.” The reserve team serves the first team, and player training is naturally under the control of its head coach. Li Mudi’s words in front of the chairman are undoubtedly giving Bei Nites put on eye drops, saying that he did not communicate with himself and did not give young players a chance.
