Early the next morning, Dick got up energetically, and after washing up, he took a taxi to the headquarters in Dortmund without taking anyone with him.
Before departure, Dick called Nebom, so when he arrived at the location of the Dortmund club, in yesterday's meeting room, Dick immediately met Dortmund's three largest management groups, Nebom,
Zorc and Mayer.
"Three of you, I thought about it all night last night and made a decision."
Dick smiled and said to Dortmund's three management teams: "I hope to be the head coach of Dortmund, but I have other different opinions on some details."
After hearing that Dick agreed to coach Dortmund, the three of them looked at each other with joy, but what Dick said next surprised them.
"What details? If it can be discussed, we will naturally agree." Nebom replied.
Dick smiled slightly: "These details may be a big problem."
After saying this, Dick stood up: "In terms of my personal salary, I can make a lot of concessions. My basic salary is only one million euros. In terms of bonuses, I don't ask for much.
German Cup, 500,000 euros, Bundesliga champion, 1 million euros, Champions League champion, 1.5 million euros. In other words, even if I win the Triple Crown in one season, the most I can get is from Dortmund.
to four million euros."
This sentence surprised all three of them. You must know that after winning the Champions League and the league last season, in addition to the basic salary of 1.5 million, Dick received a total of 4.5 million euros from Atletico Madrid.
Bonus! In other words, he received 6 million euros in income from Atletico Madrid last season alone - and Atletico Madrid was willing to pay this money.
Now, he has taken the initiative to lower his salary requirements. Although this will be very beneficial to Dortmund, Nebom and the others know that there is no free lunch in the world!
But Dick dropped the next bomb.
"As for the transfer fee, I don't want a penny from the club. I know Dortmund can still afford tens of millions of euros, but that money is a mortgage for the Westfalenstadion. If this money
If it is spent, it will be very detrimental to Dortmund's interests in the future. All transfers will be completed by me. I will try to reduce the team's salary expenses. At the same time, I hope to make up for the impact of previous random investment in transfers.
, at the same time, I will ensure that the team can at least maintain competitiveness... How about everyone, Dick gave you a huge reward today!"
"...Di, we invited you here not to reduce the deficit, but to gain more honors."
Nebom was silent for a while, and then spoke: "I'm glad you can think so, but if we can't win the championship, this ending is not what we want to see... We don't need to linger, but we want to win the championship.
You can win something while you can support me!”
"That's right, Di, the financial problems are caused by the mistakes of our management. We cannot let you bear such responsibility. All we want is the championship!" Zorc said.
"Everyone, I understand what you mean. However, I have observed that if we manage it well, we can still prevent Dortmund from falling into an economic crisis." Dick smiled.
Nebom was stunned. He looked at Dick, and then said: "Di, do you know what needs to be done to get us through the economic crisis? Our deficit last season was 30 million euros. If
In order to make up for the deficit and losses, we have to make up for a deficit of 30 million euros and maintain a profit of at least 10 million euros every season, so that we can survive smoothly. In terms of financial revenue, we have now reached saturation.
…”
Obviously, Nebom had calculated many times before he could report a lot of data, but when he said the last sentence, he was stunned, and then stared at Dick...
Since open source cannot be achieved, then expenditures must be reduced. Can Dick save 40 million for the team? Nebom does not believe this. Even if it can be saved, the team's combat effectiveness can be guaranteed.
?
Dick smiled and took out a cigar, then lit it: "I have some ideas that can help Dortmund avoid a possible economic crisis. But it takes a risk. I need all the ability to command the team and the power to transfer. The transfer fee
I won't ask for a penny from the club, and I will use my adjustments to get the funds to buy people, and at the same time reduce the club's salary expenses... This kind of work can be done by one person, but as long as the team is organized according to my ideas
, I am confident that Dortmund can maintain sufficient competitiveness! And I will also strive to win some honors, after all, these honors are related to my income."
As soon as Dick said these words, the three managers of Dortmund were dumbfounded. They felt that Dick's tone was too loud, but they couldn't help but think - if Dick's words really come true, what will happen?
What a wonderful thing it would be...
"If you can really do this, I will make the decision to let you control Dortmund!" Nebom said fiercely: "I now own 20% of Dortmund's shares. If you can do this, I am willing to
Give you ten percent!"
Zorc and Mayer were stunned for a moment at the same time, but they did not say anything because they knew that if Dick could do this, giving him 10% of the shares would be nothing. Now Dortmund
The stock price is very low.
"No, I don't want a controlling stake, and I'm not a saint. I won't work for nothing."
Dick exhaled a puff of smoke, and then said leisurely: "To be honest, what I want is very simple, that is money! I gave in on the salary, and on the transfer fee issue, I can also solve it myself. Likewise,
In return for my work, I will share 50% of the profits made in the transfer market every year! This number seems to be a lot, but you will not lose at all. You must know that if it were not for my operation, there would be no profit in the transfer market.
, it’s impossible for you to make a profit. Likewise, if I can make a profit with the salary expenses saved by running the team, then I will also want a 10% share of the profit!”
Dick's mouth was a bit wide open.
The profit in the transfer market is 50%, which is a huge number. You must know that Dortmund has quite a lot of valuable players now. If Dick sells a large number of players regardless of performance, he may be able to sell at least five or six thousand.
Ten thousand euros in cash came out, which enriched Dick's pocket, but made Dortmund even weaker.
So after hearing Dick's words, Dortmund's three giants shook their heads at the same time: "Sorry, we can't agree to such a request!"
At that moment, Nebom, Zorc and Mayer almost began to believe the dirty water Hill had poured on Dick before, because Dick's face now seemed to be very greedy...
However, Dick's next words dispelled their idea.
"Of course, there are conditions for me to get such a share, that is, within two years, I must win at least one league championship - at least. In other words, I will cut salary expenses and sell players to recover funds.
, I can only get such a share if I try to help the Dortmund club make up for the deficit and win at least one league championship. You know, it is very difficult to keep Dortmund competitive under such circumstances.
I dare say that apart from me, no coach in the world can do this! And my approach is not without precedent. From a business point of view, this is a bet! It is a bet between me and the Dortmund club!
"
"If I win, then although I have made a lot of money from Dortmund, Dortmund has also gained a lot from me! If I lose, you will not lose anything. After all, my basic salary is only one million euros, and
At least with this method, you can alleviate the economic crisis well... How about it? I like a win-win situation, rather than taking the benefits myself."
Nebom fell into deep thought. As a PhD in economics, he naturally understood the meaning of the bet. At the same time, he also knew that if such an agreement was signed, it would be quite beneficial to Dortmund - if Dick wins the bet, then
While Dortmund won at least one league championship, it was also able to prevent the economic crisis from happening again. Even if the bet failed, Dortmund actually lost nothing, because if another head coach was changed, it would be impossible to save Dortmund. The worst thing would be to lose in the end.
There is no way to save it!
What does this mean?
Another point is that as an adventurous chairman, Nebom also admires Dick's approach - Dick's strong self-confidence makes him involuntarily feel that he should trust Dick, especially when he loses to his opponent.
Dortmund actually had nothing to lose.
"You don't pay a transfer fee, you control it yourself, cut the salary, but still maintain the competitiveness of the team. In this case, you can get 50% of the transfer market surplus and 10% of the entire club's profit.
?Is that so?" Nebom quickly understood the meaning of Dick's words, and then asked cautiously.
"Yes, that's it. You don't have to believe me, but I will prove it to you. I, Dick, am not a head coach who only spends money to win championships, but a coach who can win championships under any circumstances.
Head coach!" Dick said confidently.
"Then it's settled!"
Nebom was also a very decisive person. He slammed the table and said loudly: "I signed this agreement with you! I sincerely hope you can win, because in that case we will get rid of both
We can continue to gain honors despite the economic crisis! So what if we lose? We can’t find any other way anyway!”
After Nebom said this, Zorc and Mayer, who originally wanted to say something else, shut their mouths - the current situation is indeed like this. If Dick can win, the entire Dortmund will come alive, and Dick
If they don't win, Dortmund will die anyway. Instead of dying like this, it's better to give it a try!
"I will tell you through actions that this is a wise choice!" Dick stood up and patted his clothes: "Now that we have reached an agreement, sign the contract as soon as possible. Next, I will have
There are a lot of things to do, let’s not waste time, time is very critical now!”
