Chapter 49 Why did you leave the Bundesliga! (Ask for votes!)
After listening to Mario's narration of his brief confrontation with Alofs from beginning to end, Chu Zheng was stunned.

I didn't expect that negotiations can be played like this. Isn't this just retreating to advance? It really is Raiola.

"What if he sees through your purpose?" Chu Zheng asked worriedly.

"So waht?" Mario shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "I don't care even if Alofs guessed it, all I want is for him to fall into suspicion."

"Chu, the first thing you need to understand is that Wolfsburg needs you more than you need it. The relationship between players and the club is essentially a commercial cooperation. As long as you show great value, then you It’s the leader in the collaboration.”

"Volfsburg is now very hopeful to break Bayern Munich's monopoly on the Bundesliga and win the Bundesliga championship this season."

"So neither the Wolfsburg executives nor the Volkswagen Group behind them are willing 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 trivial matter for them." After saying that, Mario took a deep look at Chu Zheng, "And they want to take away 300% of your portrait rights. That's the main reason why I temporarily decided not to continue talking with Allofs."

"Portrait rights?" Chu Zheng was stunned, subconsciously ignoring this very important thing for professional players.

Mario nodded and said: "Chu, because of the contempt Alofs has for you, you now hold 100% of your own portrait rights in your hands. This is a powerful negotiating weapon, and it will bring you great benefits in the future. economic interests."

After that, Mario continued: "Chu, you are the most unique player in world football, because you are a Chinese player, and there is a huge and terrifying market behind you, and your portrait right is the most important way for European clubs to open up the Chinese market." Good key."

"So in terms of portrait rights, we must not lose control and dominance, otherwise you will lose huge economic benefits."

"As long as you can maintain your current top-level status and gain a huge star effect, then your portrait rights will become a nuclear-level negotiating weapon, and any club in the five major leagues will open their doors to you. You are welcome to join! "

"Attention, it's joining, not buying!" Mario also specially emphasized a sentence after finishing the sentence.

Hearing Mario's call, Chu Zheng looked a little surprised. He didn't expect this guy to see so far.

Now he understands why after signing a temporary employment contract with him, this guy didn't contact the Wolfsburg club immediately to discuss a new annual salary contract.

Instead, it was delayed again and again, and Wolfsburg urged again and again.

It turns out the guy was waiting for the winter break and the winter transfer window to open.

Thinking of this, Chu Zheng found that Mario's thinking in this aspect was really clear and accurate.

He just expected that the closer the winter transfer window opens, the more eager Wolfsburg will 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!"

Hearing Chu Zheng's words suddenly, Mario was stunned for a few seconds, then his face showed ecstasy, and then he immediately opened the briefcase in his left hand.

"Fuck!!!"

Seeing Mario take out a finger-thick piece of clean white A4 paper from his bag, Chu Zheng swears.

Good guy, I've been prepared a long time ago, this guy is quite thoughtful.

"Chu, I'm so happy, I finally got your words!" Mario was really a little excited, and his fat face turned red.

He pulled Chu Zheng to sit down on the spot, handed all the documents in his hand to Chu Zheng, and said, "Chu, this is the brokerage contract I drew up and the career plan I made for you in more than a month. will disappoint you."

Chu Zheng froze for a moment, took the stack of documents and read them one by one.

【Transfer commission 12%】

【Business commission 15%】

[1.5% of annual salary]

【Limit: 1】

Seeing these four most important clauses, Chu Zheng raised his head to look at Mario, and said with a smile, "It seems that you are very confident in yourself."

The percentage of commission given by Mario was not high, and even slightly lower. Chu Zheng had no objection to this and was very kind.

But seeing that the limit 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, noncommittal, and continued to look at the contract with his head down.

After a while, as soon as Chu Zheng raised his head, Mario quickly handed the pen into his sight, which made Chu Zheng a little dumbfounded.

Chu Zheng took the pen and wrote down his name in a swish.

Since then, Mario has officially become Chu Zheng's agent, and Mario has officially signed his first player in his professional agent career.

In fact, Chu Zheng planned to do the manager's work by himself in the few years when he first joined Chelsea's youth training.

Later he realized that he was too naive.

Because those who can secure the job of a broker are all cross-border ghosts who have various knowledge and skills in law, accounting, taxation, auditing, professional loopholes, and professional black studies.

So Chu Zheng later gave up this outrageous idea, and left the professional work to professional people.

Putting his own contract aside, Chu Zheng began to look at the career plan Mario made for him.

But as soon as he read the first page, Chu Zheng frowned.

Seeing Chu Zheng's expression, Mario, who was sitting by the side, seemed to have guessed something, so he said, "Chu, this is just my suggestion to you."

"En!" Chu Zheng nodded, "Tell me the reason, why can't I stay in the Bundesliga!"

Seeing that Chu Zheng did not misunderstand, Mario breathed a sigh of relief, organized his words, and said: "Because there is a lack of honor and competition here! There is no high salary, and there is no strong business development and globalization of the Premier League and La Liga." Exposure!"

Mario's answer hits the nail on the head, and Chu Zheng agrees very much. No one knows better than him the development trend of the five major leagues in a few years.

Due to the existence of Bayern in the Bundesliga these years, it is very difficult for other Bundesliga clubs to win the German Cup.

Let alone going out of Germany to compete with other European clubs for the championship of top competitions such as the Europa League and the Champions League, it is simply powerless.

The tradition of German football has always been to focus on youth training and the cultivation of young players.

Compared with the money-burning model of the Premier League, Bundesliga clubs are more willing to make their own blood, operate on a small budget, and maintain the club's financial health.

Therefore, although the Bundesliga has cultivated countless young talents over the years, most of these talented players have left the Bundesliga in the end.

It is because it is very difficult for other teams in the Bundesliga to win the Bundesliga championship, even in the foreseeable future. Under Bayern's rule, they basically see no hope, so they go to other leagues one after another.

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.

And the Premier League, from the Five Tigers in the 90s to the BIG6 today, coupled with some traditional teams that are strong enough to compete with the giants, has caused the Premier League to be beaten into a dog's brain every year.

Even the relegation team overthrows the big upset of the rich team is also frequently staged. Until the last round of the league, fans will never want to know who this year's Premier League champion is.

The intensity of this competition alone is far from 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. In this regard, not to mention the Bundesliga, even the Premier League has to stand aside.

In addition to these, Chu Zheng also found out that many big-name players have experience in the Premier League.

Chu Zheng feels that the highly competitive Premier League can greatly improve players.

Such as Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Henry, Suarez, Modric and others.

Perhaps their current ability is much higher than that in the Premier League, but the foundation of this state was laid in the highly competitive Premier League period.

"Chu! Do you approve of my plan?" Seeing Chu Zheng frowning in thought, Mario smiled. .
Chu Zheng nodded and shook his head, answered the wrong question, and said with a smile: "It's too early to talk about this now!"

The two chatted on the training ground for a while, and Mario's cell phone rang suddenly, and then he walked towards Alofs' office again with a sly smile on his face.

This time, Mario was gone forever, and he didn't see him go downstairs until Chu Zheng's training in the morning.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Zheng's afternoon training was over, but Mario hadn't left Alofs' office yet.

Chu Zheng asked a staff member to inquire, only to find out that from morning to afternoon, Mario and Alofs didn't even leave the office door, and they quarreled from morning to afternoon.

Hearing this news, Chu Zheng suddenly realized that he might really have met a good manager.

From the morning to the present, Mario's fighting power is definitely super strong, probably not inferior to his father Raiola.
