Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 31 Negotiating Conditions
The so-called extravagant asking price, pay back the money on the spot.

If you don't kill the opponent hard now, how long will it take?
"Only 2 yuan?" Chen Ran murmured, disappointment evident on his face.

2 yuan is useful, but it will be gone if you take a few flights or stay in a hotel a few times.

But in Chen Ran's plan, the money had other uses.

The bonus this time is 1500 US dollars, which is enough to spend for a while.

"Young man, 2 yuan is a lot. Three years is 6 yuan. The average salary of an ordinary office worker is less than 2 yuan a year!" Sun Jianye explained patiently.

In fact, he deliberately quoted a low price. If the other party accepted it the best, and if he couldn't accept it, there was still room for a price increase.

Chen Ran shook his head decisively and replied: "As long as office workers can work until retirement, I can play basketball for a few more years. How about I go talk to my parents and give Sun Ju a suitable offer then."

"2 a year!" Seeing Chen Ran's refusal, Sun Jianye decisively raised the offer.

Chen Ran scratched his head and looked embarrassed: "Bureau Sun, there are still three years until the National Games. I can't tell you exactly what the market will be like by then!"

"Also...I think prices are rising year by year, and wages are also rising, you know what I mean."

This guy hopes that the funding subsidy will increase year by year.

Sun Jianye also understood what the other party meant.

"Also... our eastern Zhejiang Province is considered a wealthy province. I don't ask you to offer higher prices than other provinces, just keep them the same." Chen Ran showed a look of deep understanding, "After I go back, I will ask about other coastal areas. The provincial treatment is enough.”

After saying that, this guy deliberately raised the championship trophy in his hand, as if to say: See, this is my bargaining chip.

Seeing Chen Ran's rogue appearance, Sun Jianye had no choice but to be led away by the other party.

Damn it, it’s not my money, it’s the country’s money!

In the end, Sun Jianye reached an agreement with Chen Ran with a training subsidy of 3 yuan in the first year, 4 yuan in the second year, and 5 yuan in the third year for the next three years, as well as additional bonuses for winning medals.

A total of 12 for three years is really not a high price.

This funding subsidy is similar to employment fees for other projects.

For example, some provinces will invite national basketball players to represent their provincial teams in the National Games, giving them a one-time appearance fee of hundreds of thousands.

But basketball is a team sport, and one person alone can have limited effect. But tennis is an individual sport, and one person can decide everything.

Of course, if Chen Ran is injured and unable to participate in the National Games, the money will be refunded.

This is the difference between him and the athletes in the system, because the latter are paid and do not need to be refunded if they are injured.

Since Chen Ran was not yet full, after he initialed the agreement, he had to take it back to his parents for confirmation.

"Bureau Sun, can you pay the money for the past three years in one lump sum in advance?" Chen Ran took advantage of this opportunity and decisively made another request.

Young man, you have to push yourself even further!

A few days ago, you clearly said, "We are not short of money."

"This won't work!" Sun Jianye shook his head decisively, he had already given in enough.

Chen Ran would not give up so easily, and said: "Bureau Sun, it's the same if you give me the money early and later. As an ordinary citizen, I don't have the guts to defraud the country of money."

"Are you so short of money?" Sun Jianye asked, staring blankly at Chen Ran.

"There is no shortage of small money, but there is a shortage of big money." Chen Ran replied very seriously, "Bureau Sun, this is just a small request. I promise that I will train hard in order to bring glory to my hometown in three years." "What do you want? I think, even if I miss the game due to injury, the money will be refunded to the province, so you won’t suffer any loss no matter how you look at it.”

Sun Jianye was still hesitant, and Chen Ran decided to continue to add fuel to the fire: "Sun Ju, my next goal is the 8K competition held in Shanghai in August. If I can enter the semi-finals, the price will be more than this."

The top four in the 25K race of hope are equivalent to the champions in the 10K race.

"In case the Sports Bureau of Magic City also comes to see me, you can't think that I dislike the poor and love the rich. And..." Chen Ran's eyes showed a brilliant look, and he said with great anticipation, "The household registration book of Magic City is quite good. Tempting."

"Okay, I agree to your request!" Sun Jianying gritted his teeth and said.

Again, it’s not my money anyway, it’s the country’s.It's written in black and white, and the other party doesn't have the guts to take the country's money and not work.

As a result, the two parties changed the agreement and agreed that the money would be transferred into the account designated by Chen Ran within one week after the two parties signed the contract.

Of course, Sun Jianye also kept an eye on it.

The National Games men's singles tennis competition has 64 draws, and Chen Ran must enter the semi-finals to receive additional bonuses.

Because you are a mercenary, not one of our own, the employment fee has been paid, and the bonus conditions for the ranking will naturally be set higher.

Of course, if Chen Ran can win the gold medal, he won't be an outsider, he must be one of his own!
Originally, Sun Jianye was thinking about whether to raise another condition. For example, if your kid is eliminated in the first round, he would have to refund part of his training fee.

But he still didn't dare to speak. If he angered the other party, he would go directly to the Magic City Sports Bureau and become passive.

Although the Sports Bureau of East Zhejiang Province has sufficient funds, it is still slightly inferior to the Magic City.

"Young man, it's a pleasure to cooperate!"

"Director Sun, it's a pleasure to work with you. I look forward to one day being able to bring glory to my hometown."

An old fox and a young fox shook hands with a smile on their faces.

……

When Chen Ran returned to Dongzhou No. [-] Junior High School, the high school entrance examination was over.

The students have also received the answers to the high school entrance examination and are busy evaluating their scores.

Chen Ran walked slowly into the classroom. It was extremely noisy, and everyone was arguing about the high school entrance examination questions.

Some people clenched their fists with expressions of excitement on their faces, which obviously meant they answered the question correctly; others rubbed their foreheads and sighed, because their answers were completely different from the standard answers.

The TV hanging in the classroom is still playing the final group match of the National Football World Cup, which is a battle of honor.

However, at this moment, most of the students were just staring at the answer sheet and were indifferent to everything above their heads. Even the few guys who were crazy about football were watching the game indifferently.

Obviously, everyone is extremely disappointed with the performance of the national football team. Looking at this situation, they can't even score a goal.

This picture is very deep in Chen Ran's memory.

Because I was one of these people in my previous life.

He vaguely remembered that when he was answering the questions for the high school entrance examination, his heart was gradually filled with disappointment step by step, and then he left the classroom dejectedly.

However, this time when he came back, Chen Ran felt for the first time that "those classmates and I are already in two different worlds."
