Chapter 72 'Generous' Barcelona
When the outside world hyped Lin Quan and Messi together, and German journalists were looking for him all over the world, Lin Quan had already quietly boarded a plane and flew back to Spain.
I had originally greeted Guardiola, and there was no need to send someone to pick him up, but when Lin Quan arrived at Barcelona Airport, he still met someone who picked him up.
"Uncle Pere, why are you here?"
The person who picked up the plane was Guardiola's younger brother Pere Guardiola. Like Guardiola, he was once a professional player, but he retired early because of his poor talent, and later transformed into an agent.
In Lin Quan's impression, this is a very busy person who often travels between Europe and Latin America to recruit young players who have not been signed by other agents.
"I watched your game against Bayern and found that your ankle was injured. I thought you were inconvenient to move, so I said hello to Pep and came to pick you up!"
Pere was very enthusiastic, took the suitcase from Lin Quan's hand, and took him into his car.
"Pep and Serra's wedding was held in an old castle by the sea. Should I take you there directly, or send you home before going there?"
After starting the car, Pere asked Lin Quan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, sideways.
"What time is the wedding tomorrow?"
"09:30 am, do you have anything to do?"
"Well, I want to go to the Barcelona club to ask for a salary. Uncle Pere, you are familiar with this business. Could you please accompany me?"
Of course, Perret can't wait for this. He has no famous big-name stars under his banner yet, and Lin Quan's reputation has risen in the Bundesliga. Seeing that his future is limitless, if he can be signed, it can be said to be a great achievement for his career. Huge improvement!
"Of course, I have a lot of dealings with Barcelona and I am very familiar with the club's situation. Let's go directly!"
So the two left the airport and went straight to the location of the Barcelona club.
……
In the office of the head coach of the Barcelona youth team, Enrique sighed.
The team's contract renewal with Lin Quan was not going well, and the opponent's performance in the Bundesliga was getting brighter day by day, which made him feel a little restless.
He asked Chairman Russell several times for instructions on this matter, but the other party's attitude was very cold.
This made Enrique have a bad feeling in his heart. He felt that he might be abandoned as an abandoned child.
Especially there is news within the club that Martino will take over the coaching position of Barcelona after Vilanova, which further confirms his worries!
"Hmph, it's you who didn't speak honesty first, no wonder I flipped the table!"
Enrique has already made a decision. If Russell really abandons him as an abandoned child, then when he leaves Barcelona, he must shake out all the black material about Russell.
You do the first day and I do the fifteenth, let's see who is worthy of whom!
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door outside the office.
"Come in!"
Enrique was upset and shouted impatiently.
The door of the office was pushed open, and Barcelona's sports director Subisareta walked in with a bald middle-aged man with an ugly face.
Enrique glanced at the person who came, and was stunned for a moment. This person looks too much like the former Barcelona coach Guardiola, right?
"Who is this?"
Enrique asked suspiciously, and Zubizarreta explained:
"He's Coach Guardiola's younger brother!"
Enrique was a little puzzled, what did Guardiola's brother come to the youth team for?
Even if he wants to return to Barcelona to coach again, he should go to the office of the club chairman. What are you doing here?
"Ahem, what I'm here to deal with today has nothing to do with Pep. I accepted the entrustment of my nephew, that is, Lin Quan, and came here to ask the club for his bonus and salary. This is a contract, and the club must not Will you deny it?"
The matter of asking for salary has nothing to do with Enrique, but Zubizarreta insisted on bringing Pere to him. Naturally, Pere doesn't care, as long as he can get the money, his task is considered complete.
He believes that Barcelona will definitely solve this kind of thing for him, and it is impossible to keep playing football like this.
Otherwise, if he breaks the news about this incident, it will definitely have a serious negative impact on Barcelona's reputation.
Lin Quan's lease contract was agreed by Enrique against all opinions. The salary of this contract is not high, but the bonus is very high.
I thought that Lin Quan would not be able to play in a highly competitive league like the Bundesliga, and it would be difficult to score goals.
In the end, I didn't expect him to play like a fish in water in the Bundesliga and score goals like hemp, which made Barcelona feel a big loss.
So, Subizareta had complaints about Enrique in his heart, and then he found Enrique's head.
If Enrique hadn't insisted on his own opinion and agreed to give Lin Quan a ten-fold bonus contract, such a thing would not happen now.
Enrique was a little angry. Zubizarreta had agreed to the contract at the beginning, but now he wanted to completely blame him.
Sure enough, the rumors from above were correct, and he had failed in the competition with Martino.
Otherwise, they wouldn't treat themselves that way.
Thinking of this, Enrique broke the can, anyway, it was Barcelona's money, so he just gave it to him, and he didn't have to pay for it himself.
"Well, of course I won't renege on my debts. I will calculate my salary and bonus now. It happens that Mr. Subizareta is here. After I have calculated it, I can directly ask him for money!"
Subisaretta snorted coldly when he heard Enrique's words, feeling very upset in his heart:
How dare the head coach of a youth team dictate to him, the sports director?
Do you think you are the coach of Barcelona?
"Okay, let's start counting!"
Pere didn't care what the two people were thinking. He calculated a series of bonuses such as Lin Quan's appearance fee, goal bonus and assist bonus in the Bundesliga according to the amount stipulated in the contract.
The final calculation result was 32.7 euros. After this result was calculated, both Enrique and Zubizarreta were surprised.
Is 32 euros much?
In fact, it's not too much. There are many players in the Barcelona club whose salaries are much higher than this.
However, Lin Quan signed a contract with the youth team, and the annual salary of the youth team contract is only tens of thousands of euros. He has only played for a month, and he has received a bonus more than ten times his annual salary. Is this reasonable?
"Well, Mr. Perret, did you miscalculate? How could Lin Quan's bonus be so high? This bonus has already surpassed half of the players in the Barcelona team!"
Only one month since the Bundesliga started, he has received a bonus of more than 30 euros. After the Bundesliga is over, wouldn't his annual bonus go to 300 million euros?
Two or three million euros a year is actually not an exaggeration. After all, the average annual salary of Barcelona is 300 million euros, which is less than half of the average annual salary of the Barcelona team.
However, what Lin Quan took was not a salary, but a bonus.
In terms of bonuses alone, there are no more than five people in the Barcelona team who can surpass him!
This is very exaggerated!
"That's right, it's clearly written in black and white, if you don't believe me, see for yourself!"
Pere handed the result of his calculation and the detailed calculation process to the other party without hesitation.
Enrique and Zubizarreta glanced at each other, and they both looked at it seriously.
Looking at it, the two realized that something was not quite right.
"Well, Mr. Perret, you are also a professional player. You should know that the warm-up match is not counted in the main match, right?"
Enrique saw Pere counting five warm-up matches and two Telecom Cup matches, with several black lines on his forehead.
Pere nodded, indicating that he knew this, but he asked back:
"Of course I know, but you didn't emphasize in the contract that the warm-up match doesn't count?"
Uh……
Enrique and Zubizarreta were speechless. Does this kind of convention need to be emphasized?
"You only said the games played for Werder Bremen, you didn't say that the warm-up games don't count, right?
Since I didn't say it, Lin Quan also represented Werder Bremen in the warm-up match, so naturally it will be counted as a bonus! "
Pere looked confident and confident. He felt that even if it went to court, it would be justified by him, so he didn't panic at all.
"Then act according to the contract!"
Enrique nodded indifferently, anyway, he didn't pay for it, it's bad, whatever!
Subizareta glared at Enrique, paid the money with some heartache, and then asked:
"Mr. Perret, about Lin Quan's contract renewal, look..."
If you give 30 yuan, you will give it away. It is not a big deal for Barcelona, which has a big family and a big business.
But this money cannot be given in vain. He wants to use the 30 to show Lin Quan the sincerity of the club, so as to make a breakthrough on the issue of contract renewal.
"Contract extension? Lin Quan's contract hasn't expired yet, so don't worry about this issue. When the contract expires, we can talk about it before it's too late!"
Pere's heart moved, but he didn't ask much, and decisively took the money and left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to thank the Barcelona club for their generosity.
Barcelona is indeed very generous to offer such a high bonus to a player who is less than 17 years old.
However, this kind of words sounded like Enrique and Zubizarreta were mocking them no matter how they sounded!

When the outside world hyped Lin Quan and Messi together, and German journalists were looking for him all over the world, Lin Quan had already quietly boarded a plane and flew back to Spain.
