The relatively friendly atmosphere just now suddenly cooled down. Lister was indeed a little angry because Sunderland's salary to Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua was too low. Zhang Enhua and Sun Jihai are both main players of Dalian Wanda. If they stay
There is no big problem in Dalian signing a new contract with a salary exceeding one million yuan.
Although Sunderland is a team in England's First Division, Sunderland is a club that is not short of money. As a club that has just been relegated, club chairman Murray's idea is very simple, which is to upgrade to the Premier League as soon as possible. Therefore,
He is very generous in introducing players and giving them new salary. The salary is no worse than that of the average mid- and lower-tier Premier League teams.
Quinn, who currently has the highest salary in Sunderland, has a weekly salary of more than 15,000 pounds. His annual salary exceeds 700,000 pounds. There is also the young Michael Gray, who came out of the Sunderland youth training camp.
player's annual salary as a left-back reaches half a million pounds. Sunderland's average salary is high in English League One.
But Sunderland's salary to Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua is only a mere 70,000 pounds. The annual salary is 70,000 pounds, although it is almost one million yuan. But the tax here in England is heavier than that in China. The salary they can get is very low.
.are currently Sunderland's two lowest paid players.
This is completely beyond Rist's imagination. In Rist's view, considering the abilities of Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua, they should receive an annual salary of about 150,000 pounds. How could they only get a mere 70,000 pounds.
After all, both of them are also international players of the Chinese national team. Fan Zhiyi, who is personally operated by List, currently has an annual salary of more than 300,000 US dollars at the Extremadura Club.
To be honest, Lister doesn't like the salaries of Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua at all. After all, Lister is just the agency's agent, not their agent. Their salary has no direct interest in Lister. But Lister can't
So. Because this was related to List's reputation, List turned around and asked Bob Murray: "Chairman Murray, the salary of the two of them should be the lowest in Sunderland."
Murray nodded without any other expression and said with a smile: "You have to know that they are Chinese players. I believe there are not many English clubs who dare to take over Chinese players now. We are also taking a lot of risks, and
Although the salary we offer is relatively low at the club, I believe it far exceeds their salary at the Chinese club."
Exceeding his salary in China? Lister knew that in the next two years, the annual salary in Chinese football would be two million yuan, or even three million yuan. Even after entering the Chinese Super League, the salary of Hao Haidong and others even broke through.
Five million yuan. Moreover, according to Chinese football salary statistics, by 1999, among the first-line main players of the A-level clubs, half of the players' salaries exceeded one million yuan.
Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua are the backbone of Dalian. Nemechek is a symbol, and his arrival will definitely boost the increase in the salary of Chinese players. By the time Nemechek comes to Dalian, Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua will be
It is very easy to earn a salary of more than one million yuan.
So Lister smiled and said: "Is this what Mr. Williams said?"
The cooperation between Lister and Michael Williams this time is very simple. Lister persuaded the Chinese club, that is, Dalian Wanda Club, to let Zhang Enhua and Sun Jihai go. And Michael Williams helped the two find their way to England.
Take over their club. Then help them negotiate with English clubs, so their salary negotiations are all handled by Michael Williams.
Bob Murray nodded. In fact, even without Bob Murray nodding, List had roughly understood what was going on. It was obvious that Michael Williams had given Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua to him for his own little profit.
Sold it. Converted the share of the salary they both deserved into their own commission.
Lister was a little angry, and even looked down on Michael Williams. Michael Williams definitely has a unique advantage in English football, and he has more advantages than those veteran agents in England.
Because veteran agents in England have their own tendencies. For example, Jerome Anderson is the "royal agent" of Arsenal, so his relationship with Tottenham and Manchester United is very average. And Manchester United's Ferguson Jr.
Serving for Manchester United, the relationship with clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal is not good.
This is all true. The old agents in England basically serve only one club. But Michael Williams is different. He used the opportunity he had when he worked at Enbao to work with Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City and even Tottenham.
He has a very close relationship with Arsenal. He himself does not have a strong brand of the club, so he is able to get both sides. With such a good network, he does not even need to have outstanding players.
He can completely act as an intermediary. Many foreign players want to play in the Premier League. He can cooperate with their foreign agents and earn a commission from the process. In this way alone, he can earn a lot of money. Lister is also because
That's why I planned to cooperate with him. But this cooperation made Lister look down on Michael Williams in his heart.
He has no vision and is only obsessed with a little immediate benefit. What an agent like him should protect most is his reputation, rather than greed for a little money. Fortunately, this time it is a Chinese player. Anyway, not many Chinese players can
He went to play in the Premier League. If he cheats players from other countries this time, then his approach will soon be exposed in the players' national football circles. By then, no players will cooperate with him anymore.
Lister has been an agent for so long, and he has used many dishonorable methods. However, he is very careful about his reputation outside, and Lister tries his best to avoid things that damage his reputation. Unexpectedly, Michael Williams did so for such a reason.
A small commission actually cheated Zhang Enhua and Sun Jihai.
How much is that? Although Murray did not tell List, List was able to estimate it. That is a commission of about US$100,000 to US$200,000. For this small amount of money, he would not hesitate to damage his reputation, and there was no future for him.
List despises Michael Williams in his heart. Although he has such personal connections, he cannot have higher achievements in the agent industry. No wonder there is a defense superstar like Stam in history.
Michael Williams, who has such connections, has little success in the brokerage industry, and this is why. He has no vision and cannot stand at a higher level, and that will always be the case.
Of course, Lister was unwilling to have any direct conflict with Michael Williams. Therefore, although he disliked his style of acting, he never thought about fighting for Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua. After all, for now, Michael Williams and
Sunderland's relationship is definitely closer than that of Lister. Moreover, Lister's relationship with Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua is not good enough to compete with Michael Williams for them.
Therefore, although he was dissatisfied with the contract, Lister did not think about changing it. Lister had already thought about it mentally. If there were any player transfers in the future, Lister would try his best to avoid cooperating with Michael Williams again. Because
It's easy to bring your own reputation into it.
Murray did not notice the change in Lister's mood. In the eyes of Murray and others, Lister and Michael Williams were obviously on the same team, and the extra commission must be divided between the two people. And many agents
This is the case all the time, cheating the players and then getting more commissions. Murray and the others are not surprised either.
When the conversation was almost over, Murray smiled and said to Lister: "Mr. Cherney, I know one thing. You have a lot of good players. You must not forget about our Sunderland. We at Sunderland will never forget about it."
I will treat you badly."
List nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said to Bob Murray and Peter Reid: "When we met for the first time today, I feel that our cooperation is still very good. In fact, I have some information about England's lower levels from my scouts.
Information about some players in the league. I originally wanted to represent these players, but it seems that Sunderland need this information more than me."
