Chapter 35: Contract Renewal Disagreement

Godot, led by a beautiful mixed-race secretary, walked into the office of Lecco, the football director of the Sao Paulo club.

Then he sat on a leather-covered mahogany sofa with a little restraint.The sofa and backrest are soft, but Godot sits very upright and very carefully.

He knows the value of the sofa.

Because the place that is not covered by leather reveals the skeleton of Brazilian mahogany.

Brazilian mahogany (Brazilwood) is an extremely precious wood that is now on the verge of extinction in Brazil, a country that once grew in abundance.

This is a high-grade furniture material and an excellent material for violin bows.

Furniture made of Brazilian mahogany is rarely seen in Brazil today.

But in this office, not only the sofa, but also the coffee table, desk, bookcase, and even... the floor are all made of Brazilian mahogany!

The entire office exudes an air of luxury.

Such a tall decoration style is quite in line with the temperament of the Sao Paulo club.

Sao Paulo Football Club is different from other teams in the city. Many of their supporters are wealthy middle class or rich.

Just like Kaka's father, they don't need to worry about money, they are not short of money.

The beautiful secretary asked softly, "What would you like to drink, sir?"

Gordo replied in a tense voice, "A cup of black coffee with more sugar, thank you."

The lady secretary gave Godot a charming smile, and walked out with her plump buttocks twisted.

Godot's performance was indeed a little nervous.

After all, this is the first time he has come to such an environment to negotiate a contract with someone.And it was a contract that was very important to him.

Sao Paulo is a member of the "Thirteen Club" that is enough to overwhelm the sky in Brazil, and is a well-known giant in Brazil.

Gordo had never had such a qualification before. He could directly enter the core of the Thirteen Club and negotiate contracts with their top management.

He is not a successful agent. He has been in this business for 12 years, and the most players under him are no more than fifteen, and none of these ten players can enter the first team of the thirteen strongest clubs in Brazil.

Most of the players played in the lower leagues. As an agent, he was unknown in Brazilian football.He is not a big agent like Juan Figel.

He scoured the waters for kids who seemed talented and signed them to agent contracts, taking player ownership into his own hands.Then send these children to the echelon of professional clubs, or football schools.

When they are kicked out, I can take the opportunity to make money.

However, he has always had problems with his vision before, and he has never found any players with real potential...

Rong Guang is the most talented player he has discovered, and it is also the biggest reliance on his ability to soar into the sky.

Rongguang didn't disappoint him either, if it wasn't for Rongguang, he probably would never have had the chance to enter this luxurious office in his life.

Now he is going to talk to the Sao Paulo club about improving the glorious contract.

Although he has not dealt with the top management of the Sao Paulo club, he also knows that any club is the same. When it comes to contract issues, they will focus on their own interests, not the players'.

This requires oneself to fight for more benefits for Rongguang, and the meaning of the existence of a broker is also the same.

※※※

Sao Paulo football director Lecco came out from behind the table. The first time he saw Gordo was as the youth team trainer, when Gordo came to try out with glory.

He still remembered Godot and Rongguang's almost idiotic behavior...

At the time he almost thought the two were circus clowns.

If it weren't for Mauro's insistence, he would never have signed Rongguang.

But just like that, after a trial training, he turned his face and forgot about the glory.

Who would have thought that this glory is actually the name he has heard the most recently!

The Chinese kid he didn't care about at the beginning has now become a hot new star in Sao Paulo...

He had to lament that the world was changing too fast.

Because of the potential shown by Rongguang, his attitude towards Godot was much better this time.

He is very clear that the ownership of Glory belongs to Gordo, which is the practice of 90.00% nine Brazilian agents-they discover those poor boys with outstanding talents, and then sign contracts with them, provide them with food and lodging, provide them with training, and help them find jobs, but their ownership belongs to the agent.As long as one of the seedlings becomes mature, the return will far exceed the investment. In jargon, "finding a good player is discovering a gold mine".

When an agent has full control over a talented player, as a senior executive of the club, he has to be polite to the agent.

He maintained the necessary courtesy to Gorot.

He offered his hand and shook Godot's hand.

After exchanging pleasantries, Gordo explained his intention of coming to Lecco.

He chose his words and tone carefully, and his attitude was somewhat humble.

Who told him that he had always been a failed agent before, and he didn't have the confidence and qualifications to challenge the "Thirteen Club"?

After hearing Godot's words, Lecco smiled and said: "Actually, you don't need to come to me, I will contact you in the near future, Mr. Godot. The club is considering offering Rong a new professional contract."

With Rongguang's current performance, it really doesn't make sense to still hold the lowest-level youth contract.

"This is our newly prepared contract, you can take a look first."

Gordo took the contract, lowered his head and began to look seriously.

But he didn't turn many pages, he raised his head in surprise and looked at Lecco.

"Ten-year contract period?"

"Is there a problem?" Lyco asked with a smile.

Looking at Lyco's polite smile, Godot's previous nervousness and caution suddenly disappeared.

The anger of being underestimated gradually surfaced.

In the past, he could bear no matter what insults and contempt he faced.

Because he has no confidence to fight with the opponent.

But this time, he couldn't bear it.

Endure it, and the future of him and Rongguang will be finished.The initiative is all in the opponent's hands.

A ten-year contract is absolutely unreasonable!
"It's a big problem, Mr. Lecco." When Gordo spoke again, his throat was not as tight as before, and it was much smoother and more natural.Rongguang gave him confidence, and he firmly believed that with such talent as Rongguang, their future would not be bad.

"The ten-year contract period is absolutely impossible for me and Rong to accept." He said this sentence without hesitation, firmly.

"But we think it's a reasonable number of years. Rong is 16, and ten years from now he'll be 26. And we all know that he won't be at Sao Paulo for ten years. This contract is just a reassurance for both parties - Sao Paulo don't want him to leave the club without making any money."

Lecco still smiled.

However, his words made no secret of his emphasis on the interests of the club.

That's what a big club should have - we need to get something out of you and we don't hide it.

Gordo shook his head firmly: "No, the ten-year contract is too long for us to accept."

Rongguang just said a few days ago that he wanted to go to Europe, even if it wasn't that early, three or four years would be the best time.Rong Guang is now 16 years old, and in three or four years, he will be nineteen or twenty, which is just right for him to go to Europe.

If this is a ten-year contract with Sao Paulo, what a fart... For a full ten years, Sao Paulo will control the glorious life and death.As long as the Sao Paulo club is unwilling to let him go, Glory won't be able to go anywhere.

Although he didn't think that Rong Guang could really stay in Sao Paulo for ten years, it was always uncomfortable to be bound by such a contract.

What if a European team takes a fancy to Glory, but Sao Paulo uses the transfer fee as an excuse to hold on?
As an economic man, he must minimize this risk.

Seeing Gordo's resolute attitude, Lecco actually didn't expect the other party to really accept the ten-year contract period-as long as the other party's agent is not a fool, he will not accept it.

"Okay, so how about eight years? Rong is just a beginner now. Eight years will allow him to stay in the team and learn to improve himself. When the contract expires, he will only be 24 years old..."

Gordo interrupted Lecco: "We can accept the contract period at most four years, Mr. Lecco."

Hearing this number, Lecco chuckled, very disdainful, as if in front of him, Gordo, the agent, was not qualified to negotiate such terms with him.

Four years?

Four years later, Rongguang will be 20 years old, which is the best time, and then let him run away?

Don't even think about it!

"This is impossible, Mr. Godot. I think you should carefully consider the conditions offered by the club. After you have considered it, you can call me."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to shake Godot's hand.

This is to see off guests.

Although Rong Guang showed his potential and was favored by the head coach of the first team, Lecco was unwilling to put too much politeness on Gordo. Once the limit was exceeded, he had to let the other party know whose territory it was.

Rong Guang is talented, but so what?

In Brazil, the most indispensable thing is talent.

He will not waste too much time and energy for a Chinese.

Gordo is not Juan Figel. If the godfather of Brazilian football comes, it will be Lecco's turn to kneel and lick the opponent's boots.

Gordo didn't think that a negotiation could be done, so he simply got up and left.

When he walked to the door, he almost bumped into the secretary who brought coffee.

When it was time to make a cup of coffee, their first negotiation was over.

After leaving the club, Gordo remembered Lecco's chuckle.

The meaning of disdain is obvious, people don't really value glory in their hearts.

Even though Rongguang has already performed well in three games, that fellow Grayson's opinion must still have a profound impact...

※※※

Gordo did not tell Rong Guang the result of this negotiation, he did not even tell Rong Guang that he was looking for the club to negotiate and improve the contract-now he only needs Rong Guang to concentrate on training and competition.

Rongguang's performance on the court is the biggest guarantee for him to wrestle with Gordo and Lecco.

Rong Guang did not know that Godot was working hard for him to increase his income.

He is still training hard every day, especially after the training is over, he will continue to practice for himself, from juggling the ball to passing and catching the ball to the recently learned shooting, he has to practice everything he has learned to deepen his memory.

In the evening, he continued to practice shooting with Gordo on the rooftop.

In this way, Rongguang ushered in the fourth official game of his career.

On the day before the game, the head coach Osvaldo Oliveira announced the starting list, and Rong Guang's name was impressively listed.

He got the chance to start three straight games.

It's completely different from the first time he started. No one has questioned whether Rong Guang should start.

※※※

San Caetano's head coach Jair Piccierny, who is leading the team's final day of acclimatization at home, chats with his assistant coach.

"Are you sure you're starting?" he asked.

The assistant coach nodded: "Starting, Kaka is on the bench, Rong is starting."

Picierny breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on his face: "That's good, that's good. I'm also worried that Osvaldo will suddenly decide to start Kaka, who has returned from injury... This is really good news. In this way, our chances of winning this game will be greatly increased!"
