While Li Yi and Lucas were celebrating, Zachhuber also put it on the agenda to discuss signing Li Yi with the board of directors.
"Zachhuber, do you mean that this kid has the potential to become a star in the future?" asked the fat upstart Chairman Hoffman on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, in the Bundesliga 2, and even in the Bundesliga, there are only a handful of long passes as accurate as Artus." In order to get the pigs on the board of directors to nod to sign Li Yi, Zachhuber had to exaggerate a little.
A little bit more like Li Yi.
"Hoffman, we have known each other for more than a day. I will not just find some people to burden the club. Artus's long pass is very good, and he is very young. He is only 19 years old. He will be very good in the future.
He may become a new generation star in Germany. The most important thing is that he is a free agent now, and the club does not have to spend 1 euro cent to sign him." Zachhuber continued.
"Really? How about giving him a youth team contract? You also said that he is only 19 years old. If he performs well, then give him an adult team contract." What Hoffman wanted was different from the head coach. He heard that Li
When Li Yi becomes a star in the future, the first thing that comes to mind is not how much contribution Li Yi can make to the team, but how many euros Li Yi can be sold for once he becomes famous. Maybe 1 million, maybe 2 million. Thinking of this makes me drool.
It almost flowed out.
Li Yi came to the Baltic Stadium for training early the next morning. After training alone for a while, Rostock's coaches and players came to the stadium one after another. After the morning training, Chachhuber stopped the official.
Li Yi is planning to leave.
Chachhuber told Li Yi that he would start training with the youth team tomorrow and play in the Bundesliga Youth League to get a feel for professional football. When the time is right, he would be transferred back to the adult team.
"By the way, and tomorrow the team manager Beinrich will discuss your contract with you, but you don't have an agent yet. If you trust Leo (Lucas), you can ask Leo
I will help you negotiate the details of the contract." Chachhub added after thinking for a while.
"Of course I trust Lucas, but isn't Lucas a scout? Can he help me negotiate a contract with the club?" The only person Li Yi trusts now is Lucas. Apart from Lucas, he
He didn't know who to trust, but he still had doubts in his heart, because he knew that Lucas was a scout and negotiating contracts was usually the responsibility of agents, so he asked this question.
"Haha, Lucas was a player agent before he became a team scout. Just trust him and leave it to him. He won't disappoint you." After saying that, Chachhub turned around and left.
Already.
In the evening, Li Yi returned to Lucas's home. Lucas had already learned in advance from Chachhuber that he would go to negotiate the contract on behalf of Li Yi tomorrow.
After chatting with Li Yi for a while, Lucas got to the point, "Artus, thank you for your trust in me. Don't worry, although I haven't been someone else's agent for a long time, I'm just helping you this time."
The club will simply discuss the contract details, and I believe I can still do the job."
"Mr. Leo, you're too polite. You also know my situation. I believe you won't do anything bad to me. There is a saying in China that you should not be suspicious of people you employ, so you can feel free to go and talk to the club." Li Yi
Said to Lucas with a smile.
"Don't worry, although your salary will not be much for the time being, I will definitely help you get the maximum salary for a youth player. In addition, if you need it, I will ask the club to help you rent a house near the stadium, and then each
I will ask the club to give you appropriate subsidies for your monthly transportation and horse fees."
"Okay, Leo, just help me handle this as appropriate."
"Artus, you trust me, you trust me, but we still have to sign an agent contract, otherwise I won't have the power to sign the contract on your behalf." After Lucas finished speaking, he took out the briefcase that he had drafted in the afternoon.
contract.
Li Yi took a brief look at it and found that there was nothing wrong with the contract. Lucas was responsible for his transfer, signing, annual salary and advertising endorsements, and took a 3% fee from it. The contract period was 3 years.
Originally, Li Yi wanted to increase Lucas' commission, but in the end he failed to win over Lucas, and the commission still only remained at the ultra-low level of 3%.
Li Yi signed his name on the contract, and the agency contract officially came into effect.
Early the next morning, Lucas came to Beinrich's office to discuss Li Yi's contract. Although Beinrich was notified by the board of directors that he wanted to sign this young man, Lucas also
I really hope that Li Yi can successfully stay in Rostock. However, the two parties ended up entangled over Li Yi's annual salary and contract issues.
Beinrich said that the club would take a considerable risk by hiring a player who had never played in a professional league, so it was only willing to give Li Yi a one-year contract with an annual salary of 50,000 euros, because Li Yi
He is reporting to the youth team, so the club will not help Li Yi find a house. The travel and transportation are expensive, let alone the cost of transportation. There is not even an appearance fee. After one year, it will depend on Li Yi's performance before deciding whether to renew the contract.
Here, Lucas knows what coach Zachhuber said about Li Yi. Although he and Beinrich are also old friends in private, shopping malls are like battlefields, and there are no humane words to talk about on the battlefield.
"Old friend Beinrich, I think you need to understand one thing. Rostock's head coach Zachhuber has personally said that Artus will become a new generation star in Germany. What do you think of the offer you made?
Isn't a garbage contract an insult to a future star?" Lucas was really angry after seeing Beinrich's offer, "Also, is your offer of 50,000 euros pre-tax or after-tax?
of?"
"Of course it's before tax. Friend Leo, you have to know that this offer is already at the level of a substitute player for a mid-tier Bundesliga team. And our Artis is just signing a youth contract. We are very sincere.
"." The veteran Beinrich has been in the world for decades, how could he be easily intimidated by Lucas and stand firm without retreating at all?
"Mr. Beinrich, you also know that Artus, as a single man, has very high taxes in Germany. If he gets 50,000 euros before tax, he will get more than 20,000 euros. Even those who receive Comprehensive Social Security Assistance get more than him.
, This is absolutely impossible. If you are not sincere, maybe I should take Artus to another club to try. I think with his footwork, there will always be a club willing to introduce Artus at a price exceeding this price.
"
In the end, Lucas and Beinrich argued all morning, and finally used the trick of leaving, finally forcing Beinrich to give in, and signed a one-year contract with Li Yi, with an annual salary of 30,000 euros after tax.
Contracts.
This price is definitely the top salary level in the Bundesliga youth team. Although the signing time is a bit short, Lucas is still quite satisfied. In fact, from his heart, he does not want to sign with the club for too long.
contract, he firmly believed that if Li Yi was kicked out, the salary he would receive would definitely be more than this.
After signing the contract, Lucas immediately came to the youth team's training ground, found Li Yi, and told him the results of the morning's negotiations.
After hearing the conditions, Li Yi was quite satisfied. The annual salary after tax is 50,000 euros, which is equivalent to a weekly salary of almost 1,500 euros (before tax). For Li Yi, who has no work experience, this is undoubtedly a very large income.
, the loan for the family house was more than enough, so Li Yi readily agreed to the contract. Now it can be said that everything is ready, all that is left is to sign the contract.
Two days later, without the knowledge of the outside world, Li Yi quietly signed the first formal contract in his life with Rostock. At this point, Li Yi finally became an official member of Rostock.dd
