Chapter 49 Why leave the Bundesliga! (Please vote!)
After listening to Mario narrate the brief confrontation between him and Alofs from beginning to end, Chu Zheng's face was filled with astonishment.
I didn't expect that negotiations could be played like this. Isn't this just retreat in order to advance? Sure enough, the surname is Raiola.
"What if he sees through your purpose?" Chu Zheng asked worriedly.
"So waht?" Mario shrugged and spread his hands, "I don't care even if Alofs guesses it. What I want is for him to fall into suspicion."
"Chu, first of all, you need to understand that Wolfsburg needs you more than you need it. The relationship between the players and the club is essentially a commercial cooperation. As long as you show great value, then you
He is the leader in cooperation.”
"Wolfsburg is now very hopeful to break Bayern Munich's monopoly on the Bundesliga and win the Bundesliga championship this season."
"So neither the Wolfsburg senior management nor the Volkswagen Group behind them want to see turmoil within the club at this time. What they need is a united and harmonious team!"
"And an annual salary of two to three million euros is actually just a small thing to them." After saying this, Mario took a deep look at Chu Zheng, "And they want to take away 100% of your image rights.
This is the main reason why I temporarily decided not to continue talking to Alofs."
"Image rights?" Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously ignored this very important thing for professional players.
Mario nodded and said: "Chu, because of Alofs's contempt for you, you now have 100% of your own image rights in your hands. This is a powerful negotiation weapon, which can bring you more benefits in the future.
Huge economic benefits.”
After finishing speaking, Mario continued: "Chu, you are the most unique player in world football, because you are a Chinese player, there is a huge and terrifying market behind you, and your image rights are the best way for European clubs to open up the Chinese market.
Good key.”
"So in terms of image rights, we must not lose control and dominance, otherwise you will lose huge economic benefits."
"As long as you can maintain your current top status and gain huge star effect, your image rights will become a nuclear-level negotiating weapon. Any club in the five major leagues will open the door to you and welcome you to join!
"
"Attention, it's about joining, not buying!" After saying this, Mario emphasized this sentence.
Hearing Mario's call, Chu Zheng looked a little surprised. He didn't expect this guy to see so far.
Now he somewhat understands why this guy did not contact Wolfsburg Club to discuss a new annual salary contract immediately after signing a temporary employment contract with him.
Instead, they delayed it again and again, letting Wolfsburg urge it again and again.
It turns out that this guy is waiting for the winter break and the opening of the winter transfer window.
As soon as he thought about this, Chu Zheng realized that Mario's thinking in this regard was really clear and accurate.
He just expected that the closer to the opening of the winter transfer window, the more eager Wolfsburg would be.
Then he can take the lead in the negotiations.
Thinking of this, Chu Zheng smiled and said, "You can prepare a formal economic contract now!"
Suddenly hearing Chu Zheng's words, Mario stayed for a few seconds, then his face showed a look of ecstasy, and then he immediately opened the briefcase in his left hand.
"Fuck!!!"
Seeing Mario take out a finger-thick piece of brand new, white A4 paper from his bag, Chu Zheng cursed.
Good guy, I have been prepared for this. This guy is quite thoughtful.
"Chu, I'm so happy, I finally waited for your words!" Mario was really excited, and his fat face turned a little red.
He pulled Chu Zheng to sit down on the spot, handed all the documents in his hand directly to Chu Zheng, and said: "Chu, this is the agency contract I drafted and the career plan I made for you over a month. It should not be
You will be disappointed."
Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then took the stack of documents and read them one by one.
[Transfer commission 12%]
[Business commission 15%]
[1.5% commission on annual salary]
[Term: 1 year]
Seeing these four most important terms, Chu Zheng raised his head and looked at Mario, smiling: "It seems you are very confident in yourself."
The commission rate given by Mario was not high, or even slightly lower. Chu Zheng had no objection to this and was very kind.
But when he saw that the term was only one year, Chu Zheng was really surprised. He didn't expect Mario to be so confident.
Mario knew what Chu Zheng meant. He smiled and said, "Of course, I believe this contract will be the beginning of our friendship, and it will definitely not be the last contract between you and me."
Chu Zheng shook his head and smiled, without comment, lowered his head and continued to read the contract.
After a while, as soon as Chu Zheng raised his head, Mario quickly handed the pen into his sight, making Chu Zheng feel dumbfounded again.
Chu Zheng took the pen and quickly wrote his name.
Since then, Mario has officially become Chu Zheng's agent, and Mario has also officially signed the first player in his professional agent career.
In fact, when Chu Zheng first joined Chelsea's youth training, he planned to do the agent's work himself.
Later he realized that he was too naive.
Because the only person who can secure the job of an agent is a cross-border genius who combines various knowledge and skills such as law, accounting, taxation, auditing, professional exploitation, professional knowledge and so on.
So Chu Zheng later gave up this outrageous idea and left professional matters to professionals.
Putting his own contract aside, Chu Zheng began to look at the career plan Mario had made for him.
But Chu Zheng's brows furrowed as soon as he read the first page.
Mario, who was sitting aside, saw Chu Zheng's expression. He seemed to have guessed something, so he said, "Chu, this is just a suggestion I gave you."
"Well!" Chu Zheng nodded, "Tell me the reason why I can't stay in the Bundesliga!"
Mario saw that Chu Zheng had not misunderstood, so he breathed a sigh of relief, organized his words, and said: "Because there is a lack of honor and competition here! There is a lack of high salaries, and there is no strong business development and globalization like the Premier League and La Liga.
Exposure!”
Mario's answer hit the mark, and Chu Zheng agreed very much. No one knows the development trend of the five major leagues in the next few years better than him.
Due to the presence of Bayern in the Bundesliga these years, it has been very difficult for other Bundesliga clubs to win the German Cup.
Let alone go out of Germany to compete with other European clubs for top competitions such as the UEFA Champions League and Champions League. It is simply powerless.
The tradition of German football has always been to focus on youth training and the development of young players.
Compared with the money-burning model of the Premier League, Bundesliga clubs are more willing to make their own money, operate on a small budget, and maintain the financial health of the club.
Therefore, although the Bundesliga has cultivated countless young talents over the years, in the end most of these talented players left the Bundesliga.
It is because other teams in the Bundesliga are struggling to even win the Bundesliga championship, or even have a long way to go. Under Bayern's rule, they basically see no hope, so they have moved to other leagues.
In terms of commercialization and exposure, the Bundesliga is also weaker than the Premier League and La Liga.
Not to mention La Liga, which has two of the best football clubs on the planet.
As for the Premier League, it has developed from the Five Tigers in the 1990s to the BIG6 today, coupled with some traditional teams that are powerful enough to compete with the giants, resulting in the Premier League being beaten into a dog's brain every year.
Big upsets of relegated teams overturning wealthy teams are also frequent. Fans will never know who this year's Premier League champion will be until the last round of the league.
The intensity of this competition alone is far beyond what the Bundesliga can match.
In addition, La Liga and the Premier League also have high salaries.
Especially in La Liga, the huge annual salary after tax makes countless young players yearn for it. Not to mention the Bundesliga, even the Premier League has to step aside.
In addition to these, Chu Zheng also discovered something for himself, that is, many big-name stars have experience in the Premier League.
Chu Zheng feels that the highly competitive Premier League can allow players to greatly improve.
For example, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Henry, Suarez, Modric and others.
Perhaps their current abilities are much higher than they were in the Premier League, but the foundation for this state was laid during the highly competitive Premier League period.
"Chu! Do you agree with my plan?" Seeing Chu Zheng frowning in deep thought, Mario smiled and said...
Chu Zheng nodded and shook his head. He answered the question incorrectly and said with a smile: "It's too early to talk about this now!"
The two chatted on the training ground for a long time before Mario's cell phone suddenly rang, and then he walked to Alofs' office again with a cunning and successful smile on his face.
This time Mario was gone forever, and Chu Zheng didn't see this guy come downstairs until the end of his training in the morning.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Zheng's afternoon training was over, but Mario had not yet left Alofs' office.
Chu Zheng asked a staff member to inquire, and then he found out that Mario and Alofs didn't even leave the office door from morning to afternoon, and they were noisy from morning to afternoon.
Upon hearing the news, Chu Zheng suddenly realized that he might have really met a good agent.
To be able to argue from morning till now, Mario's fighting ability is definitely super strong, probably not inferior to that of his father Raiola.
