Chapter 164 The hunting time has arrived! The first professional contract is finally finalized!
Old Les felt like he was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage!
Fortunately, Gu Ran was just discussing it, not refusing to sign it!
Old Les tried to calm his trembling heart, "...Ah, of course! This is just a contract provided by our club. Of course you can make requests. If you have any requests, just speak up and we will discuss and negotiate together."
Gu Ran said unhurriedly: "First question, Mr. Rice, is the termination fee of this contract too high?"
Old Laisi laughed and said, "That's the problem? Gu, I'm very optimistic about you. I think you are worth much more than 5 million. I even want to ask for a higher price."
Gu Ran asked confusedly: "Can't it be reduced? For example, around 1 million?"
Old Les smiled and said: "No, no, no."
Although it is said to be a negotiation, Lao Laisi is still very experienced in wrangling.
In his mind, Gu Ran is a once-in-a-thousand-year talent player. Such a talented player will be played sooner or later. If the termination fee of only 1 million is really set, doesn't it mean that he has been enriched and given away in vain?
Gu Ran asked: "Is it really impossible to lower it? Even if it is reduced to 3 million pounds?"
He felt as if he was holding the fishing rod again.
Gu Ran is still a child after all!
Just the way he bargained with him showed that he was a novice at all!
Got it!
This time it’s all right!
Old Rice calmed down and grinned: "My dear Gu, we can discuss everything else, but the issue of the termination fee really cannot be reduced."
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Gu Ran's lips, and then he shrugged helplessly, "Okay, then I'll ask the second question."
Old Les adjusted his sitting posture and leaned comfortably on the back of his boss's chair. "Tell me, except for the termination fee, you can mention anything else at will - the termination fee will not be reduced even if you kill me."
Gu Ran said immediately: "There is no labor certificate clause in this contract. As you know, Mr. Rice, the prerequisite for me to join Southampton Club is to obtain a labor certificate and participate in professional games with the first team. .Although I have great faith in your ability, Mr. Rice, if I sign this contract and the club fails to apply for a labor certificate for me, then I will be trapped in the U18 team of Southampton Club. Already?"
Old Les was completely frozen in the boss's chair.
The soft seat back was no longer comfortable at this moment, but like a bottomless trap, keeping him sinking!
Old Les struggled subconsciously!
——This great man who has experienced countless storms and waves has lost his composure at this moment!
He never expected that after reading more than thirty pages of the contract in ten minutes, Gu Ran's thinking would still be so clear and agile!
Moreover, Gu Ran immediately caught the biggest loophole in the contract!
The labor certificate is indeed a prerequisite for this contract and cannot be avoided!
"Mr. Rice, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Gu Ran suppressed the smile in his heart, his face full of real concern.
"No, it's okay, I'm fine!" After all, Laisi was a man who had been there before, and he quickly returned to his normal state.
But in Lao Lesi's heart, it was like the Pacific Ocean was being overturned.
It wasn't until this moment that Old Les truly realized... something was wrong, I had become prey.
Before Laisi could fully react, Gu Ran said directly:
"Mr. Rice, I hope that the labor certificate clause can be written into the contract - if Southampton Club cannot apply for a labor certificate for me at the beginning of the new season, then even if Southampton Club breaches the contract,
Then I will be free and receive the minimum termination clause from Southampton."
Termination fee...
Old Les was immediately dumbfounded!
At this moment, he felt like he was being dragged directly into the sea by a giant deep-sea shark, including people and the boat!
What about the fishhook or not? What about the choice of whether or not?
This is great, I'm going to be eaten alive!
Too careless...
This kid Gu Ran...is not a fish at all, he is pretending to be a fish and eating the boat!
Damn it, if he can't get a labor certificate, not only will Gu Ran run away, but he will also have to pay him a termination fee of 5 million pounds!
Could it be that this kid had planned it from the beginning and was just waiting for this moment to hunt me?
Impossible?
He is so young, how could he have such careful thoughts?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
It must be a coincidence, I must be overthinking it!
After being confused for a while, Laisi said tremblingly: "...Wait a minute, I suddenly feel that what you just said, Gu Ran, is right, the termination fee is indeed set high..."
This slap in the face came too quickly!
Old Les had just finished proudly saying that the termination fee could not be reduced even if he killed him! But now he has rounded it off and given himself a big competition bag!
Gu Ran smiled calmly and said unhurriedly: "Oh? Really? Let's reduce it to 1 million, right? Actually, I think it's fine if there is no termination fee, so that if Mr. Rice fails to apply for a labor certificate,
Southampton Football Club will not lose a dime."
When Laisi heard this, his whole face turned red with excitement!
"Gu, if you say that..."
Old Les took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said resolutely: "The termination fee will not be reduced! It is only 5 million pounds! The labor certificate terms will also be added according to your request! If I, Les Reed, give it to you
If you can't get a labor certificate, Southampton Club will be willing to let you go and compensate you 5 million pounds! Yes, I dare to write this into the contract, because I will definitely get it! I am confident! I will definitely
To keep you at Southampton Club, I will do my best! Use all means!"
Okay! That’s enough!
Gu Ran secretly admired Laisi.
His appreciation for Lai Lai didn't just come from now. Ever since Lai Lai said he could pull it out, Gu Ran admired the old man's toughness.
Being able to withstand the pressure of possibly losing 5 million pounds and adding the labor certificate clause shows that Laisi's love and trust in him are absolutely unadulterated.
Gu Ran immediately said: "Thank you, Mr. Rice. I believe you can do it, and I will never let you down."
Old Les's face was full of pride, "Yes, that's right! We all have to work hard! Gu, if you have any other requests, let's say them together!"
Gu Ran said: "I am satisfied with other aspects of the contract. I only have one last small request."
Old Les said: "Just say it."
Gu Ran immediately said: "I think after the high school championship game is over and before the club starts training in the new season, I can train at the Staplewood training base."
There are two games left in the National High School Championships, which will end in a dozen days at most, and the training date for the club’s first team is July 10th. There is still about half a month in between, and it can’t be wasted.
!
Moreover, during the past half month, training with the U18 professional youth team of Southampton Club will also allow Gu Ran to gradually adapt to professional life.
Old Laisi said in surprise: "Gu, don't you want to take this time to rest and relax?"
Gu Ran said seriously: "No, I need to work harder to enter the professional league."
...We must work harder for free whoring!
Be prepared to shock English League One and defeat your opponents all the way!
Old Rice nodded with satisfaction, "You are indeed the player I like! You are a genius and you work so hard. I believe you will be able to shine in the professional league soon! Okay, your request is no problem.
It doesn’t even need to be written into the contract, as long as you sign this professional contract, you are a member of the Southampton Club, and you can come to train whenever you want during the holidays.”
Gu Ran immediately said: "Then I have no other problems. As long as the contract is revised, I can sign it at any time."
Old Les said excitedly: "Great! Gu, please wait here for a moment, I will immediately find the club's general manager and legal director to deal with the new contract - this may take some time, about 1-2
For an hour, you can walk around the training base."
"Okay." Gu Ran nodded.
Old Les took the old contract and hurried out of his office.
Logically speaking, signing a professional contract is not the responsibility of a senior member of the board of directors like Lai Lai, but Gu Ran is very special, so Lai Lai naturally has to do it himself.
Adding contract terms requires review by the legal department and signature by the general manager. After the modification is completed, it must be reviewed again, and then reprinted and stamped - this series of necessary processes must be completed, which takes at least one day.
Only with the intervention of Lao Leis, the process was greatly shortened.
Taking this time, Gu Ran went to visit the multi-functional gym, physical therapy room, restaurant, showroom and other places in the training base.
In the showroom of the training base, Gu Ran also saw huge photos of Southampton Club's past meritorious players, including Kevin Keegan, Alan Shearer, Peter Crouch, and Wayne Bridge.
, and Gareth Bale.
...They are all well-known figures.
Especially "Tall Guy" Crouch and "Cuckold" Bridge.
Crouch played for Southampton during the 2005 season, and his wife was the famous socialite model Abbey Clancy. The two often cheated on each other, but they were still very loving.
Bridge is in a worse situation. He is the person whose girlfriend was slept with by his good brother Terry.
In fact, Bridge can be regarded as a very good typical English right back.
Bridge is an authentic Southamptonian and a product of Southampton's youth training. He can compete with Lampard for the title of "Iron Man".
Bridge once played 113 consecutive games in the Premier League. Until the Green Hat incident, his record of consecutive appearances was broken by Lampard.
After the cuckold scandal, Bridge suffered another serious knee injury and became a glass man from then on. Then he retired early in 2014...
So sad.
Therefore, if you want to be a professional player, don't find a girlfriend.
A creature like a girlfriend will only delay football.
——Of course I am an exception, because I have been through this before and I can be self-disciplined.
After Gu Ran wandered around the training base for about an hour and a half, he received another call from Laisi.
The new contract is ready!
Gu Ran immediately went to Laisi's office.
At this time, there were already several senior club bosses sitting in Laisi's office, and they all came to witness Gu Ran's signature.
Old Laisi introduced Gu Ran one by one, and Gu Ran also shook hands with the big guys politely and said hello.
One of them is also the coach of the U18 youth training team.
Lao Lesi specially called the coach of the youth training team here so that Gu Ran could train with the U18 youth training team.
After a polite exchange of greetings, Laisi handed over the revised new contract to Gu Ran.
Gu Ran briefly browsed it and determined that several other important places had not been changed, except that the terms of the labor certificate had been added, so he took the signature pen handed over by Laisi and signed his name.
From this moment on, he is a real professional player!
From an amateur to semi-professional, he jumped directly to the ranks of professional players!
Gu Ran could not restrain his excitement:
The wheel of fortune in the previous life has changed!
Those big guys in football, wait for me!!!
After Gu Ran signed his name, the big guys in the office applauded.
Old Laisi was even more excited and gave Gu Ran a big hug, "Gu, my child! From today on, we are a family! Saints welcome you! I'm sorry that this signing was rushed and there was no
What kind of signing ceremony will I prepare for you, but don’t worry, we will definitely use the greatest resources to train you! Tomorrow, I will officially operate your labor certificate! Just wait patiently for my good news!"
"Thank you Mr. Rice, thank you all." Gu Ran said excitedly: "This is the first professional contract in my life. Southampton Club is a very professional and promising club. I am very grateful to the club.
I am also very grateful to the club for giving me such a favorable condition. I will fight for the Saints and burn every ounce of my strength for the Saints! The Saints are moving forward!"
"good!"
"Gu! We all like you!"
"Come on! The Saints are moving forward!"
The atmosphere in the entire office also reached its peak.
After signing the contract, Laisi and others wanted to stay with Gu Ran for dinner and celebration, but Gu Ran declined because he had to train tomorrow.
——We do have to train tomorrow, but more importantly, we have to cherish Anne Hathaway tonight.
Seeing Gu Ran's persistence, Laisi no longer forced himself.
A large group of senior executives took the initiative to send Gu Ran downstairs and to the parking lot.
This array of noodles is also extremely rare in the entire Southampton club.
When the senior executives saw that the car Gu Ran drove turned out to be a Porsche Cayenne, they all showed surprised expressions.
Gu Ran smiled helplessly, "Oh, my girlfriend insisted on giving it to me, and there was nothing I could do about it."
The senior executives were all envious of Ma.
Gu Ran waved goodbye to the senior management, started the car and left the Staplewood training base.
"Annie! I'm back!"
As soon as Gu Ran arrived home, he ran to Annie's room excitedly.
As soon as he entered the room, Gu Ran saw a bright red talent point bubble falling from Annie's window.
However, Anne's mood is much better than before.
Seeing Gu Ran coming back, Annie rushed over with a skilled hug, "Gu! Why did you come back? I almost miss you!"
Damn~
We've only been apart for half a day and you already miss me so much.
Fortunately, I am strong enough, otherwise, I would really be afraid that I would not be able to withstand your demands!
Gu Ran chuckled, concentrating his thoughts to collect the gifted talent point bubble through the air and directly adding it to the physical attributes, while holding Annie's waist and hips with his hands, "I also want to come back early, but you also know, sign
Contracts are very troublesome, and I don’t have an agent.”
Annie immediately said: "If you want an agent, I can introduce you to one."
Gu Ran smiled and said: "No need, the agents you know are all in film and television, and they are as separated from football as a mountain."
"That's right." Annie asked with concern: "Did you sign your contract?"
Gu Ran smiled happily and said, "Signed."
Annie said excitedly: "So, you are now a professional player?"
Gu Ran nodded, "Yes."
"Ahhh! That's great! Gu! I knew you could do it!" Annie's eyes were red with excitement, "I knew you could do it, you will definitely become a big star in football! You will definitely do it.
Become a football star known to the whole world!"
Gu Ran smiled mischievously, "Then how should you reward me?"
Annie blushed, "I hate it~ Then... what reward do you want?"
"There are still a few more actions. I think we need to have an in-depth communication." Gu Ran carried Annie to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Annie said coquettishly: "Gu, no, it's not dark yet, and we haven't had dinner yet..."
"I'll eat it later..."
"Really, just for a while?"
"You don't know me yet?"
