Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 39 Don't want to give 10 yuan?

9 month 30 day.

11 am.

As soon as the training session was over, Li Poluo hurriedly changed his clothes and came to the office area.

The door was not opened at all, and no one could be seen through the glass windows.

Li Poluo waited for a full 10 minutes before he saw Powell walking over, took out the key and opened the door of the office.

Better late than never, the general manager finally didn't let himself go.

Li Poluo breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly greeted the other party:
"Good morning, Mr. Powell."

Powell motioned for him to sit down casually:

"Young man, you should entrust your agent to negotiate with me about the contract."

Lee Polo shrugged his shoulders:

"I don't have an agent."

What a joke, my weekly base salary is only 300 yuan, which is not enough to open a house twice, so where else can I hire a broker?

——Of course, agents are also divided into grades. Players in low-level leagues are not unable to hire agents. For example, when Akinfenwa was 18 years old, he had an agent to help him manage the transfer. He went to Lithuania for a weekly salary of 100 pounds play football.

Powell raised his eyebrows, then nodded slightly:
"OK, let's cut to the chase. I asked the secretary to pull up your stats for the season. Seven goals in nine games. For a defender, that's fantastic. Especially against Milton. In the Cairns game, you scored the winning goal, that game especially impressed me."

It is always a pleasure to be praised, and Lee Polo is not humble:

"Thanks, I think I can do better when I'm fully integrated into the team."

Powell showed a meaningful smile:

"I also look forward to that day coming as soon as possible. Regarding your contract, after careful consideration, I agree to make changes to the relevant terms. I have drawn up a preliminary revision opinion, you can take a look first."

He handed over a document with the key terms of the contract printed on it.

The basic weekly salary has been raised from £300 to £500.

The appearance bonus has been increased from 20 to 30, and the goal award and zero seal award have also been increased by 10 yuan.

However, the contract period has been extended from 2 years to 5 years, which is obviously exploitative.

"How about it?"

Powell smiled sincerely:

"Your salary has almost doubled."

Li Poluo shook his head:
"Double? That's because the starting price of the first contract was too low."

There was no change in Powell's expression:

"The club has always had regulations on salary. You have just joined the team and your resume is very simple. Therefore, it is impossible for us to directly give you a maximum salary contract, but... if you have specific requirements, of course we can also negotiate."

In essence, commercial negotiations are no different from bargaining at street stalls. The seller asks for a lot of money, and the buyer pays back the money on the ground.And most of the time, the anxious party tends to fall into a passive position.

But Lee Polo is obviously unwilling to waste time here.

He frowned, and directly offered his own price:
"Akinfenwa is our first striker. His weekly salary is 2000 pounds. As a defender, my scoring efficiency is not much lower than his. I want 1500. Isn't that much?"

"A weekly salary of 1500?"

After Powell confirmed, he quickly shook his head:

"You have to know that apart from Akinfenwa, no one in the team earns more than the figure you mentioned. For example, Mark Phillips, as the oldest player on the team, his weekly salary is only 1300 .Ah, sorry, I shouldn't have disclosed other people's earnings to you."

[But you still revealed it. 】

[It's just to tell me in this way that I can't get more than Phillips! 】

Looking at the ugly faces of capitalists, Li Poluo decided to change his approach:
"Wimbledon made me a professional player and I've always been very grateful, so for the past two months I've been giving my 100 per cent every game.

Mr. Powell, since you have watched our game against Milton Keynes, you should know that in order to win, I kicked the leg of their midfielder Dele Alli, and then scored the lore.And in the Carling Cup match against Manchester United, I also restricted Kagawa and Januzaj, and that's how the final score was 4-0, wasn't it? "

Powell certainly will not deny these objective facts:
"Dear Polo, I know all this, and I very much hope to continue to see your outstanding performance. But the weekly salary of 1500 is indeed beyond the club's financial capabilities."

He smiled self-deprecatingly:
"We are not a big team. The salary budget of the entire first team is only 75 pounds, and Akinfenwa's salary alone exceeds 12. We certainly cannot accept another high-paid player."

Of course what he said was not a lie, but Li Polo also knew that capitalists would always think that workers took too much.

So he's about to end the conversation:

"I can understand the team's situation, so let's do it differently. How about keeping the same two-year contract and paying £1000 a week?"

From the initial 2000, it was reduced to 1500, and then to 1000... Powell was a little surprised by his large concession.

However, Lee Polo added:
"In contrast, I hope that the bonus setting can be more closely integrated with my actual performance."

Powell gritted his teeth quietly, quickly calculated a few numbers on the computer, and finally nodded:

"The appearance bonus has been increased to 50 a game, 30 wins and clean sheets, 50 assists, and 100 goals. If you can be selected into the best team in the relevant competition, you will be rewarded... 500 pounds. If you can accept it, we will sign the contract now. All terms are enforced from October 10."

His expression is extremely sincere:

"This is already our greatest sincerity. If it weren't for the victory over Manchester United before, which gave the team an extra income, I would never change the contract easily for a new player."

[Just bully the vulnerable! 】

[It's really stingy! 】

[The appearance fee ranges from 30 to 50, how much more will this cost the club? 】

Li Poluo couldn't help complaining in his heart.

But he still accepted the proposal. After the staff handed over the printed new contract, he only glanced at a few changed terms, and immediately signed his name.

No way, he is too poor!
-
After stamping the club's seal, Powell showed a satisfied smile.

According to his calculations, this new contract certainly won't make any money for the club.

His assistant had already communicated with the coaching team in advance, and he was well aware of Lee Polo's ability, and even grasped some conflicts between Lee Polo and Fuller, Smith and others.

But it doesn't matter, he doesn't care about the secrets in the locker room, and he doesn't intend to stage a game of thrones, he just needs to know that this player always goes all out in the game, even fighting for his position .

This is enough.

He shook hands with Li Poluo cordially, and did not forget to give another sweet date:
"Crazy Gang needs a brave tough guy like you, I really do."

Then he saw Li Poro also laughed:
"Thank you, Mr. Manager. By the way, can you lend me some money? I'm going crazy poor now."

The corner of Powell's mouth twitched violently.

Complimented the other party just now, and came to borrow money in the blink of an eye?

As an executive of the club, he is also a successful person with status, how could he turn his face and deny anyone.

Fortunately, he is also quite experienced in this kind of thing, and he gave a solution immediately:

"If you are really short of money, I can tell the finance minister that you will be allowed to advance your basic salary for a few months, up to the entire season."

[After all, they are still capitalists! 】

Holding the mentality that talking is better than nothing, Li Polo nodded without thinking:
"Thank you, Mr. Powell!"
-
Now that you have opened your mouth to borrow money, don't be coy.

It was almost 12 o'clock when I walked out of the financial room.

Lee Polo, who had advanced his salary for the entire season in one go, felt that he finally had confidence in his heart.

From October to May, there were 10 months and 5 days. Calculated on the basis of 8 weeks, he received a total of 242 pounds, which is almost equivalent to the average annual income of ordinary British citizens. This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money. .

Carefully stuffing the salary card into his wallet, he clenched his fists.

[Hurry up and make a name for yourself!

I don't want to torture each other with the club for the appearance fee of 10 yuan anymore! 】
