Chapter 245 New contract renewal! negotiator mendez

"Chips!?"

Bai Ran glanced sideways at Mendes, but Alice on the opposite side was very self-conscious and stood up and gave up her seat to Mendes.

Mendes sank down and said, "Yeah! Chips."

"As your agency, of course I put the interests of our cooperation first. The more you make, the more we make."

"And the more you earn, the more it reflects your value and importance, right?"

Although Bai Ran was not very interested in money, when it came to this topic, I had to say that he still agreed with it.

A player's worth determines a player's ability. Although the coach's tactical arrangements and players who have specific needs to complete the coach's tasks will also have an impact on the worth, it mainly depends on the player's ability value.

The salary also reflects this. Players with higher salaries in the team often occupy a more dominant position.

High wages mean proof of player ability.

Bai Ran was still very interested in this point.

"You are right. Do I want to talk to Real Madrid now?"

Bai Ran was also a little hesitant in his heart. After all, the relationship between Real Madrid and Bai Ran was very harmonious. The two sides had cooperated to win the double championship this season. Zidane still had a good personal relationship with Bai Ran.

Under such circumstances, is it inappropriate for Bai Ran to take the initiative to negotiate a contract with Real Madrid?

Bai Ran, who comes from China, has already taken root in his heart. The two words benevolence and righteousness are indispensable, which is different from the Western idea of ​​putting interests first.

But Mendes smiled mysteriously.

"Bai Ran, Bai Ran, you are still too unsure of yourself."

"You're so hot out there, far beyond your imagination."

"Do you think I came to Madrid today just to catch up with you?"

Bai Ran suddenly understood the meaning of Zidane's words.

I wonder, could it be because of this old boy?

"you mean?"

Mendes snapped his fingers, showed a mysterious smile, and said, "That's right! You don't have to think about how to talk to Real Madrid. Now, in order to keep you, Real Madrid wants to renew your contract."

"oh!"

Bai Ran nodded, to be honest, he was still a little surprised.

After all, they have renewed their contract once this season. In just half a season, they signed and renewed their contract once. This is already a very exaggerated frequency.

However, Florentino himself did not expect that Bai Ran would perform so fiercely and in such a hot state this season.

Such a performance on the court, if they don't show some strength to show Real Madrid's sincerity, it will be disrespectful to Real Madrid!

Bai Ran now occupies an absolutely dominant position in the negotiations!

Even a proud and arrogant person like Lafayette must be polite in front of Bai Ran.

It can be said that this season, if it were not for Bai Ran, it would be difficult for Real Madrid to win the championship. Whether it is La Liga or the Champions League, Real Madrid's state in the second half of the season may be better than last season, but winning any championship is difficult. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

It is precisely because of Bai Ran's appearance that everything in Real Madrid progresses smoothly.

It is no exaggeration to say that all of this is due to Bai Ran.

In order to keep Bai Ran, of course they have to start contract renewal negotiations earlier.

After experiencing European matches against Roma, Manchester City and Bayern, Bai Ran's performance was extremely eye-catching, attracting the attention of major clubs.

Not only that, Serie A, the Premier League and the Bundesliga have all noticed this young player.

This also gave Real Madrid a sense of crisis.

So Real Madrid immediately found Bai Ran's agent Mendes. This matter did not go through Zidane's hurdle, so after communicating directly with Bai Ran, they still found Bai Ran's agency.

Florentino was also wary of the relationship between master and apprentice. He was afraid that if Zidane was allowed to negotiate with Bai Ran, it would be unclear which side Zidane was on.

As the leader of a club, it is of course the best choice to spend as little money as possible. Zidane used the threat of resigning to let Real Madrid sign Bai Ran. It is difficult to imagine that if Zidane was asked to go and Bai Ran negotiates, what will be the final result?

It is estimated that these two people will work together to figure out Real Madrid's finances...

"Come on, the agent in charge of negotiations from Real Madrid is waiting in the conference room. Come with me to meet him?"

Mendes invited Bai Ran, and of course Bai Ran nodded in agreement.

"Then Alice, you go back and do your work first. Help me deal with the transfer invitations from other teams. I'll go talk to Mendes about renewing the contract."

Alice also agreed. It seemed that Bai Ran had no intention of transferring now, so she turned around and walked out of the room.

Mendes and Bai Ran also left together and went to the conference room to meet with Real Madrid's contract renewal agent.

On the way, Mendes asked: "How is Cristiano doing?"

"Huh?" Bai Ran was suddenly stunned when he heard this question.

"What's wrong?"

Mendez walked down the road with a look of worry on his face.

"I don't know what's going on, but now he doesn't answer my calls very often."

"This year's summer window transfer market is particularly hot, and many teams have made offers to him."

"And the wages and transfer fees given are extremely high."

"Originally, this was a very busy period, but Cristiano didn't seem to want to talk about this issue. Instead, he felt a little depressed."

"Does he have a good relationship with you guys now?"

Bai Ran thought for a while: "It seems that there is no problem?"

"The relationship is pretty good, at least there is no conflict between us, but I always feel that he is a little weird recently."

"It seems that he has lost the passion he had before."

Mendes couldn't help but sigh. As his agent, Mendes was also very worried about this Portuguese superstar.

C Ronaldo is a player with his own personality. Basically no one can guess what he thinks.

Although he didn't say anything in this transfer window and his contract with Real Madrid is still going on, Mendes has already vaguely felt that this superstar is not so happy now.

I don't know if it is the disapproval of the team, or the disappointment with his own state, or...

After Bai Ran came, did he take away his protagonist halo in Real Madrid?

After all, in previous games, whether in Real Madrid or Portugal, Ronaldo was the absolute tactical core.

Except for the dark days during Benítez's reign, Real Madrid did not value Ronaldo, but was determined to support Bale. Except for the past six months, Ronaldo has always been the pillar of Real Madrid.

But after Bai Ran came to the Bernabeu, everything seemed to have changed.

Ronaldo is no longer the flower figure that everyone pursues, but has become a green leaf beside Bai Ran.

Bai Ran has unlimited firing rights, while he is more responsible for supporting and protecting on the wing, and sometimes even has to run and pull space for Bai Ran to create an offensive environment.

This is not what he has always done.

But who knows, no one can predict what will happen in the future. Ronaldo may just be stuck in a dead end for a while, and he may figure it out after a while.

It is also possible that Ronaldo broke up with Real Madrid for this reason.

But this is not something to consider now.

In a blink of an eye, the two came to the conference room. Real Madrid's negotiating agent had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Mendes and Bai Ran come in, the agent smiled and stood up to shake hands with them.

"Hello, hero of the Bernabeu."

"How are you, Mendes?"

Several people greeted each other, Bai Ran nodded, and the three sat down to discuss the possibility of contract renewal.

"How was your holiday, Bai Ran?"

The other party was smiling, and it was obvious that he was a good negotiator, while Bai Ran was calm and unperturbed.

"Not bad."

The agent nodded and said with satisfaction: "I'm glad that you can return to the team in such a good state. In view of your heroic performance last season, Real Madrid decided to renew your contract with you."

"The contract we are currently drafting is to renew until 2020, a four-year contract plus an annual salary of 10 million."

"There are other additional payments, you can take a look."

Ten million...

Bai Ran thought about it. The last contract seemed to be until 2019, with an annual salary of 8 million. This salary is already very high for a newcomer.

But in this half season at Real Madrid, his performance was too strong, so he increased by 2 million.

To be honest, a salary of 10 million per year is already a good treatment for the team, and there are various bonuses added up, Real Madrid is still quite sincere.

But at this moment, Mendes smiled.

"Okay, we got it."

"Your contract is now included in the scope of our consideration. My client will give me a reply after considering it. We will contact each other then."

The other party's agent frowned immediately after hearing this.

"What? Are you paying attention to the offers from other teams?"

Real Madrid took the initiative to ask for a salary increase, but the other party did not immediately agree to renew the contract. This is going to cause trouble!

What does it mean to refuse to renew the contract?

It means that the player is considering the possibility of leaving Real Madrid!

But Florentino's task for himself is to do everything possible to keep Bai Ran!

This won't do...

So the agent immediately stopped Mendes: "Wait a minute, Mr. Mendes."

"As Bai Ran's current colleague, I work for Real Madrid. I can put aside work and ask from a personal perspective, do you plan to leave Real Madrid?"

Bai Ran laughed and said, "It depends on how the club treats me."

"After all, Real Madrid and I are just partners, and this is not my club."

"The club can provide me with the best value, and I have feelings for the club. If these two things add up to more than all the other things, then I will definitely not consider leaving."

"But if these two things added up are not as good as the sincerity of other clubs, then am I doing charity?"

Mendes looked at Bai Ran with a little more approval.

This kid is good. He is so young, but he speaks so maturely.

He didn't hurt his feelings with Real Madrid, and he emphasized the friendship between the players and the club, and he didn't immediately accept their invitation to renew their contract.

In terms of human relations, Bai Ran still has something.

But at such a young age, I don’t know who this kid learned these from.

The other agent smiled instantly after hearing this.

“Ahahaha…”

“Bai Ran, you speak well, to the point, straightforward, and straightforward. I like it.”

"Come on, don't leave in a hurry. Sit down and we can talk slowly."

So Bai Ran and Mendes looked at each other, made eye contact, and sat down again.

The agent straightened his tie, and sweat actually broke out on his forehead.

"So that means that the contract offered by Real Madrid is enough to be included in your consideration list, right?"

Mendes said from the side: "My client does not deny the possibility of renewing his contract with Real Madrid, but a salary increase of this magnitude is not enough to make my client feel full of sincerity."

"The contract you gave actually has no meaning. Real Madrid's current bargaining chip is Bai Ran's feelings for Real Madrid."

"If it weren't for the half-year time spent here being enjoyable, I think a contract like this would be allowed to be thrown in the trash."

"Don't you think so?"

The other party's agent took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, with a slightly unnatural expression on his face.

"It seems that other teams have already talked to you, right?"

Mendes was immediately happy when he heard this.

"If we communicate with the club we are working with, which is also my client's home team, I don't have to hide it."

"I'll tell you the truth."

Bai Ran was calm and calm on the side, and did not rush to interrupt when he heard this.

The other party's agent obviously showed strong interest.

Generally speaking, when a club skips the team and comes directly to negotiate contracts with players, it absolutely needs to be kept confidential. After all, this is out of respect for the club.

But at this time, Mendes whispered: "All teams in the five major leagues have offered contracts to Bai Ran."

"They are all willing to pay a liquidated damages of 150 million."

"How much do you think they paid?"

The agent's heart was immediately aroused: "How much?"

At this time, Mendes smiled mysteriously: "A certain Premier League team gave me an annual salary of 30 million euros."

thirty million! ?

The opponent's agent couldn't help but frowned for a moment and said suspiciously: "Can I ask which team it is?"

Mendes' lips curled up: "I can only tell you that this team is also qualified for the Champions League."

"Bai Ran has little contact with them, but my clients are not resistant to the land in England."

“Although I don’t have a deep relationship with my clients now, I have talked with them several times.”

Mendes has obviously not negotiated with those wealthy clubs, and he even learned through Alice just now that several clubs have offered contracts to Bai Ran.

But as a person with a position in the negotiations, Mendes must put enough pressure on Real Madrid.

"I think my client will decide for himself what's more important, so that's the end of our negotiations today."

Mendes calmed down, but the other side couldn't.

"Mr. Mendes is indeed reliable. He helped Bai Ran handle these matters so quickly."

The agent showed an embarrassed smile and said, "Actually, I won't hide it from you."

"The task given to me by Real Madrid today is to sign a contract extension with Bai Ran on the spot."

"So, we hope to use an annual salary of 15 million, plus 50% of the image rights, to get Bai Ran's signing."

"The contract has been signed for five years, and the liquidated damages are 300 million."

"What do you two think?"

As soon as these words came out, both Bai Ran and Mendes were shocked!

The annual salary of 15 million doesn't matter, but the 50% image rights... are too tempting!

In the era of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar was Real Madrid's signature, but no matter how powerful Cristiano Ronaldo was, he could only obtain 60% of Real Madrid's image rights.

At the beginning, Cristiano Ronaldo was still dissatisfied with breaking the 50-50 share of advertising revenue. When he joined Real Madrid, CR7's image rights distribution was that he held 60% and 40% belonged to Real Madrid.

According to the Forbes wealth list, Real Madrid's top player earned US$44 million last year, including US$23 million in annual salary and bonus income, and US$21 million in commercial income such as advertising endorsements.

This also means that 40% of Ronaldo's 21 million, or US$8.4 million, will be handed over to Real Madrid.

Although Bai Ran only has 50% of the image rights, this is already a very generous treatment. The annual net income can be increased, even higher than the annual salary of 15 million!

In other words, the total amount they gave was actually more than 30 million.

It is estimated that after Real Madrid acquired Morata for 30 million, the financial budget is not that sufficient, and the salary budget will have to add a large amount, which makes it difficult for Real Madrid to negotiate with Bai Ran for such a high sum. contract.

Therefore, they can only afford the future income share to stabilize Bai Ran.

But this sincerity has already been deeply felt by Bai Ran and Mendes.

Mendes said: "I don't know about this. Your new jump needs to be approved by my client."

"Bai Ran, what do you think?"

Speaking, Mendes winked at Bai Ran.

Although Bai Ran was only 17 years old, he had eaten rice for more than thirty years in his previous life. He still understood the meaning.

Moreover, in the football environment in China, if you don’t know how to observe people’s words and emotions, how could you possibly make it to the team?

He can't even be a substitute!

Bai Ran suddenly looked embarrassed, looking extremely reluctant.

"Image rights are indeed one of the profits that Real Madrid captures very hard, I know this."

"But if you want to tie me down with this, I'm afraid I need to think about it."

After all, five years and 300 million liquidated damages are equivalent to the fact that in these five years, Real Madrid will be dead here.

At this point, the agent couldn't help but sigh.

Mendes deliberately stopped Bai Ran and said, "Mr. Bai Ran, I think the other party's sincerity is sufficient. Let's not embarrass them too much."

"Let's do this. I'll give you a middle amount, and you two shouldn't argue."

"According to what you said, 50% of the image rights will increase the annual salary to 18 million."

"The contract can be signed for up to three years, and the liquidated damages are 200 million!"
