The day after the match against Chelsea, after finishing the day's training, Li Yi just returned to his home when he received a call from Federer, saying that he was coming to discuss something with him.
As his fame grew, various commercial endorsements were approaching saturation. At this time, Federer changed his mind and actually wanted to discuss something with him in person. In fact, Federer did not reveal a word even on the phone.
, Li Yi also roughly guessed the other party's guess, especially when time is such a sensitive node.
Li Yi himself never thought that when he was watching the news in the morning, he joked with Dai Mengxi that he didn't know if any wealthy team would poach him. So quickly, Federer was successfully impressed by the opponent that night and wanted to come and act as a lobbyist in person.
!
In fact, it is not really news that the major giants teams want to poach Li Yi. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has been dismissed by the media n times. You know, as early as this summer's European Cup, Li Yi led England
After the historic trophy, the giants from the five major European leagues kept waving checks, and it was already reported that they wanted to sign Li Yi. Now if we do it again, wouldn't it be just speculation?
Thinking of this, Li Yi, as the person involved, also became a little curious. After all, Li Yi had made it clear to Federer before that at least until the end of this season, he would not consider a transfer. So, knowing that Li Yi
With a perseverant attitude, what will Federer say to himself today?
With Li Yi's curiosity in mind, Federer rang the doorbell of Li Yi's house.
Opening the door, he let Federer into his home and asked Dai Mengxi to pour the former a cup of coffee. Li Yi casually sat on the sofa and nuzzled at Federer. The meaning was very clear - hey, buddy, you are not today
Are you here to be a lobbyist? I'm ready. If you have anything to say, just say it.[
"Uh!" He was a little confused by Li Yi's super so-called attitude. However, Federer, who came with a mission today, still had to bite the bullet and said, "Lee, today I brought you a piece of bad news and a piece of news."
Good news, I don’t know which one you want to hear first?”
"Haha!" He was amused by Federer's constipated expression. His relationship with Federer had always been very good, and Li Yi was too lazy to continue to offend him. He straightened his expression and said, "Then let's talk bad things first."
News!"
"Uh! Well, I thought you would hear the good news first." Spreading his hands and making a helpless expression, Federer continued, "The bad news I bring you today is that although you told me before
I have said that you do not intend to consider transfer before the end of the season. However, unfortunately, I have to admit that I was impressed by some wealthy bosses and had to come back in advance to discuss this matter with you."
Listening to Federer unabashedly state the main purpose of his visit, and clearly stated that he did not want to talk about this matter, but Federer still insisted, Li Yi frowned slightly.
But Li Yi soon felt relieved! Federer was able to discuss it with him face to face so clearly. At least, it showed that the other party still cared about his feelings, and was not the kind of person who would rely on him in everything and secretly set things off for him.
A sinister villain, isn't he?
With a noncommittal smile, Li Yi said casually, "Let's put this question aside for now. So what's the good news? Now for all the endorsement contracts with big businesses that are worth your money, after the European Cup ends in the summer, you will take advantage of my reputation.
When it was at its peak, we built 7788, and the rest were either small contracts that neither you nor I looked down upon, or hostile forces that were on the opposite side of our current contract manufacturers, and it was impossible for both sides to take it all..."
"Okay!" Hearing Li Yi's instant change of topic, Federer didn't care too much. He quickly gathered his mood and said, "The good news I want to say is that after watching your recent crazy performance, Mansour also knows,
If you don't act quickly, you may lose your "money tree", so he contacted me personally in the morning and wanted to discuss the salary increase with you as soon as possible."
"Oh?" Li Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a half-smile, "Hey, Federer, Mansour wants to give me a salary increase. This is also good news for you, although I don't know how he promised it.
Yours, but I'm sure that with his generous style, if you can successfully convince me to renew my contract with the team, you will definitely get a lot of benefits, why do you still look like this?"
"Haha! You really guessed it right, Lee! Although Mansour didn't dare to tell me clearly how much I could get in advance due to some terms, but I am sure that if you really renew your contract with the team,
, the benefits I got are at least 7 figures."
"That's right!" Seeing that Federer deliberately only said half of his words and waited until he cooperated, Li Yi said cooperatively.
"However, after I took a look at the new contract that Mansour prepared for you, I still feel that I should consult your opinion first whether to sign or not to sign this contract. Again, I shouldn't do it because of a little profit.
, do something that is not good for you.”
"Huh?" If Li Yi has been listening to Federer's words with the so-called attitude since Federer entered the room, now, hearing Federer talk about such a sensitive topic, Li Yi can be considered true
A little obsessed!
From Li Yi's understanding of Mansour, Mansour should value himself very much. However, according to Federer, why is the new contract not good for him?
Thinking of this, Li Yi was really curious and asked, "Federer, how do you say this? Could it be that Mansour wants to play dirty with me and has some overlord clause hidden in the contract?"
"No, no, no!" Hearing what Li Yi said, and thinking about what he had said before, Federer immediately knew that his words were not expressed accurately and Li Yi had misunderstood.[
No matter what Li Yi decided in the end, as a professional agent, it is very important to prevent Li Yi from potential resistance to any employer. Therefore, Federer quickly denied it before Li Yi finished speaking.
I'm sorry, Lee, maybe I didn't express my meaning accurately before. As an agent, I can say very objectively that Mansour's contract is very generous in every aspect. Not only does it increase your annual salary
, it has increased to an astronomical figure that you can’t even imagine, and they didn’t take the money seriously at all and returned 80% of your image rights to you.”
Well, even though he thinks he has never been a stupid person, Li Yi still has to say that he was stunned by Federer!
That's not true. From Federer's first explanation, it is not difficult to see that Federer, out of consideration for his agent, not to mention objections, at least does not want Li Yi to renew his contract with the team. Otherwise, Federer will not
You would say that by encouraging him to sign the contract, you would be doing something sorry for him!
However, from Federer's subsequent explanation, it is not difficult for Li Yi to draw a conclusion, that is, Mansour really showed full sincerity and prepared a quite generous new contract for him to renew his contract.
And he must have seen Li Yi's serious doubts. Federer immediately solved Li Yi's confusion, "Well, the reason why I said it was not good for you before is actually just a small problem. And if Lee really doesn't want to change.
If you know how, these problems will not be a problem at all. The problem is that with the increase in annual salary, the liquidated damages set by the team in the new contract are also very exaggerated. 1 billion euros. Um, in other words
In other words, if you sign this contract with the team, as long as there are no conflicts, it will be fine without a transfer..."
There is no need for Federer to say the rest, because Federer's meaning is already quite clear.
Here, Li Yi had to sigh again for Federer's thoughtfulness!
The point of view Federer wants to express really coincides with Li Yi!
The annual salary is really not a big deal for Li Yi, whose current ability to attract money off the court is terrifying and who signed a nine-figure endorsement contract in one go in the summer.
On the contrary, if he really wants to renew his contract with Crystal Palace, at least in the next few years, Li Yi's freedom of life will be regarded as being restricted in a different direction. Therefore, without any consideration at all, Li Yi immediately returned to "Well,
Federer, your consideration is undoubtedly correct. Although even if you sign this contract and there is a stalemate with the team, it does not necessarily mean that you cannot transfer, but I doubt that situation is not what you and I want to see, so, you
Use a tactful way to return this contract for me."
