Chapter 29 Why is there an extra 1?
Dong Fangzhuo looked at the blank contract on the table and couldn't help laughing. He was really a mistake and was defeated...
Lin Xu had talked to him about his salary increase in the contract, so he naturally had no need to mention his recent performance. He was completely qualified to talk to Ferguson about the salary increase, but Lin Xu meant that he would have to wait until the end of the season.
But who knew that after returning to Manchester from South Korea last time, Dong Fangzhuo and Sun Jihai were having dinner at an Italian restaurant in Manchester, they happened to meet Manchester City Chairman Bernstein. The old guy was shameless and wanted to have a meal with Sun Jihai and the others, and they couldn't refuse.
During the meal, we didn’t talk about the issue of Dong Fangzhuo’s joining. Both sides were very taboo, so we just talked about the prospects of China’s football commercial market, etc. Who knew that the Sun took photos of their meal?
Then, this scene is...
But if he thinks from Ferguson's standpoint, he will definitely not know, let alone Lin Xu told Dong Fangzhuo not to explain.
In Ferguson's view, the x** report from the news media forced Ferguson to start his contract renewal at the end of the season in advance.
This is not a matter of one person, but a matter of the entire team. If one person renews his contract and his salary increases, others will be ready to go.
In Manchester United, who is the highest weekly salary now? Ferdinand. After renewing his contract, his weekly salary reached 120,000 pounds, which is already no1 in Manchester United. As the most important central defender in Manchester United, it is normal for Ferguson to give this weekly salary. The whole world lacks top central defenders, so it is natural to tie Ferdinand to a high salary.
As for other defenders, besides Gary Neville, I am really embarrassed to ask Ferguson for a raise. For example, Sylvester and Brown made frequent mistakes in the game this season. It would be better if Ferguson didn't have a big cleanup.
In the midfield, veterans such as Giggs will no longer have excessive demands, and Keane is likely to leave the team. Among other young players, Ronaldo is the most troublesome. If Dong Fangzhuo gets a raise, Ronaldo will definitely be able to raise the salary. Ferguson also needs to consider the salary issues of new players who will join next season.
On the forward line, if Fanny transfers, he can indeed free up his salary space. His weekly salary reaches 84,600 pounds.
If you deal with some players, you can continue to free up your salary space...
Because of sharp decline in fiscal revenue, Manchester United was planning to significantly reduce their spending from players' salaries. A few days ago, due to Ferdinand's contract renewal, Manchester United Ceo Jill also warned their players: "The era of clubs paying high players' salaries is over, and they will no longer pay big prices to buy stars."
Manchester United's players' wages rose from 40.8% of the club's total expenditure in the past year to 46.1%. If it is not changed, it is estimated that it will increase to 50% next year, that is, half of the expenditure.
"We hope to avoid the financial crisis that high wages may bring. The days when clubs spend high spending on players are over. It is impossible for players to still expect a 15-20% salary increase."
However, when Ferdinand's contract renewal was completed, Dong Fangzhuo's problem also emerged, and Manchester United's CEO was fart.
As one of the most important players in Ferguson's team building plan, Ferguson will not only make a fuss like Jill.
At this time, he directly put a blank contract in front of Dong Fangzhuo and his agent Lin Xu, and quietly watched their reactions.
The contract is empty, you can fill it out at will...
This shows that there is enough respect for Dong Fangzhuo. If the amount is directly written on the contract, then Dong Fangzhuo and the others have no room for maneuver. This is called a talk, and it is called a bully clause.
Since we are here, we must take this matter seriously. In fact, Lin Xu and Dong Fangzhuo have been discussing the renewal of the salary increase for a long time.
Playing football is a profession, and the higher the salary, the better, but it must also be matched with your performance and get a salary that suits your value.
Before, Lin Xu analyzed that it is impossible to get the maximum salary, and Manchester United will not agree, because Dong Fangzhuo is only 20 years old and has only performed well in one season. I don’t know how many players have highlighted in one season these days, but in a blink of an eye, they became impotence in the second season. Manchester United cannot be the sucker and give their salary casually.
But Dong Fangzhuo's performance will definitely get a very considerable salary, but he must have a reference, and the reference is Rooney.
Rooney performed extremely well last season by smashing Everton, so after joining Manchester United, Ferguson gave Rooney a weekly salary of 60,000 yuan. This weekly salary is considered medium in Manchester United, even higher than Ronaldo's 40,000 yuan.
Combining the performance of Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo, it is most reasonable that Dong Fangzhuo's weekly salary should be around 60,000, and it is not even a problem to be higher than Rooney.
Fanny's weekly salary is 84,600 pounds. Although Fanny's goals are unstable this season and his condition is not outstanding, he has long proved that he is a world-class striker, so he can get such a high salary. Dong Fangzhuo is only in his first year, so it is impossible for him to directly raise his salary to this level.
Therefore, Lin Xu thinks that Dong Fangzhuo's weekly salary should be between 60,000 and 70,000 yuan.
As for people, you can’t be too greedy, just be suitable.
When Lin Xu just saw Ferguson give a blank contract, he was also surprised. He didn't expect Ferguson to play this trick.
Dong Fangzhuo and Lin Xu looked at each other and seemed to understand what the other party meant. Generally speaking, when it comes to salary and contracts, the agent usually takes action personally. There is no need for players to talk about, as long as the players express their wishes.
But Lin Xu didn't say anything this time, because the two of them had agreed, and the weekly salary was parallel to Rooney, so that the news media would not be irresponsible.
However, when Dong Fangzhuo was preparing to fill in the next week's salary figure, he had an idea and changed the number he had originally discussed.
When Dong Fangzhuo wrote, although Ferguson was forced to calm down, his neck had already stretched out.
When Dong Fangzhuo filled in a 6-character, he felt relieved in his heart and finally put down a big stone.
But Dong Fangzhuo hasn't finished writing yet.
The number he finally gave was £60,001.
Hey, why is there an extra £1? Ferguson became curious in his heart.
But when he thought about it, he immediately understood.
This is a symbol of status...
Who is the player who earns a weekly salary of £60,000? Rooney.
Dong Fangzhuo’s weekly salary requirements are not high, as long as he is on par with Rooney, but he is 1 pound more.
