Chapter Seventy-Five New Contract Negotiations Collapse

River Plate, which defeated Boca Juniors, became a veritable league leader due to the loss to the Argentine youths in the La Plata University's visit to the Maradora Stadium later in the day.

This is double happiness for River Plate, who just won the national derby!

On the second day, news reports of River Plate's victory over Boca Juniors in an away game continued to ferment on major newsstands throughout Argentina. Even Uruguay, Brazil, the United States, Europe and other countries paid attention to this shocking battle.

In fact, since the game ended yesterday afternoon, this game has caused a sensation, but many residents in Europe and the United States like the oldest way of reading newspapers, which is why the amazing sales of the next day.

"Clarion News" is worthy of being Tang Zheng's favorite newspaper, and the headline shows his attitude: "City Heroes!"

The text is reported as follows: "No one would have thought that Tang, who was still worrying about his career at the end of last year, would play so amazingly in the Argentine national derby six months later. In the game, Tang not only was able to defend perfectly Limit Roman Riquelme, and he can perfectly help the team on the offensive end. One of his goals and one assist helped the visiting team score a valuable three points. You must know that this is only the fourth game of his career , the first start..."

"... I wonder if Mr. Mauricio Macri, the chairman of Boca Juniors, will feel particularly angry at this time? Because it was the ruthlessness of Boca Juniors seven months ago that made him a city hero now. Don, who was born, of course, we believe that the fans of River Plate are very grateful to Boca Juniors, and they personally sent a promising new star to River Plate..."

In addition, in the lower right corner of the headline news, there is an exclusive interview about Tang Zheng, which was interviewed privately by Tang Zheng last night with his friend Paul Andres.

The topics discussed in it were all questions that the reporters in the mixed zone after the game and the routine press conference after the game did not mention. Therefore, this issue of "The Bugle" is destined to be the best in sales.

Compared with the "Clarion" which tends to report on River Plate, newspapers like "Nation" which integrate facts, entertainment, and sports are more neutral from a standpoint, but generally speaking, they still praise the River Plate hero.

It is worth mentioning that many club executives who read this news report felt very regretful. In October and November last year, Tang Zheng visited almost all first- and second-tier clubs in Argentina. They refused because of various prejudices. Tang Zheng had a trial training, and in the end River Plate got lucky and chose Tang Zheng.

Meanwhile, in the chairman's office in the Boca Juniors office building, sporting director John Simon stood in front of chairman Mauricio Macri with a livid face.

"Who told me that he was short-lived? Huh? Dumb? How many times have I told you that we are a civilian team and we must be close to the people! The trial games I advocate are for those talented children to master Opportunity, but what about you? The genius gave me the riverbed, and even took the waste as a treasure!"

Mauricio Macri yelled at the sporting director as if he had nothing to do with the trial incident.

Sports director John Simon didn't dare to take a breath, even though it was the chairman in front of him who made the final decision.

Tang Zheng is the same as before, he still likes to collect those newspapers that praise him.

But now it's different from before. He represented River Plate in the match yesterday, and he was the biggest contributor to the team's victory over Boca Juniors. Therefore, Tang Zheng's status in the eyes of River Plate fans has risen sharply, and Tang has become a River Plate fan. My hero.

Therefore, when Tang Zheng appeared on the news stand, he was sought after by countless River Plate fans.

For this, Tang Zheng had to face the enthusiastic fans, take photos with them and sign autographs, and Tang Zheng also felt the happiness and troubles of being a star.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng had a flexible mind and used training as an excuse, otherwise he would not know how long he would be entangled by enthusiastic River Plate fans...

The Argentine national derby is over,

For River Plate, it does not mean the end of the devil's schedule. They will also host San Lorenzo three days later to prepare for the quarter-finals of the 2008 Copa Libertadores.

※※※

Last night, after Tang Zheng returned to the Capital District with the team, his manager, Fabino Rodrigo, called Tang Zheng.

First of all, Fabino Rodrigo congratulated Tang Zheng for being the best player on the spot, and then talked about Tang Zheng's treatment, because Tang Zheng, who has played four consecutive games for the River Plate first team, was still on a youth apprentice contract, and his income was the same as that of Tang Zheng. His contribution is completely out of proportion.

Regarding his treatment, Tang Zheng didn't have a big mouth to talk about, and he didn't know much about it, so he could only entrust his manager's Fabino Rodrigo to discuss it.

So when Tang Zheng followed the first team for recovery training, Fabino Rodrigo, led by the secretary of the chairman, knocked on the door of the office of the chairman Maria Aguilar.

"Please come in."

After the beautiful secretary ushered Fabino Rodrigo in, he closed the door.

It was the first time for Fabino Rodrygo to come to the chairman's office as an agent, and he looked a little cautious, standing in front of the desk and looking at the chairman Maria Aguilar.

Knowing the purpose of Fabino Rodrigo's visit, Maria Aguilar stood up from the luxurious leather seat: "Fibino, right? Sit as you please, don't mind."

Fabino Rodrigo, who came to the chairman's office as an agent for the first time, was very reserved. He sat on the expensive sofa with his back straight, and his buttocks were only one-third of the sofa.

Maria Aguilar looked at Fabino Rodrigo carefully, and found that the other party had no merits other than his relatively handsome face, so he had some ideas about this 'negotiation'.

Obviously, Fabino Rodrigo is a rookie in the world of brokers.

Maria Aguilar turned around and came to the desk, took out a stack of A4 papers from the drawer, then handed it to Fabino Rodrigo, and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't need to come, I am also going to I’m looking for you in this period of time, Mr. Fabino, this is the latest professional contract offered to Tang by the club, you should take a look first.”

River Plate, as Argentina's top giants, if they let others know that Tang Zheng still has the lowest youth contract, they will obviously be laughed at by others. The River Plate team can't afford to lose this face.

Fabino Rodrigo took the contract and looked down seriously.

Not long after he got his agent license, he has a basic understanding of the work contracts signed by players and clubs, knows where to focus, and where it is easy to be trapped by the club.

In terms of remuneration, River Plate, known as the 'Millionaire', did not treat Tang Zheng badly, with 200,000 Argentine Pesos per month, equivalent to 50,000 U.S. dollars, thirty-two times the youth team contract.

It's just that the period of service has changed from the original four years to six years, and the liquidated damages have increased from US$1.5 million to US$10 million.

Especially the two terms of the period of time and liquidated damages, Fabino Rodrigo was very worried.

According to Tang Zheng's growth rate, it is only a matter of time to enter the top European leagues. Six years is too long, and the liquidated damages of 10 million US dollars is also a bit high. If European teams are not willing to activate the liquidated damages, it means that Tang Zheng Six years to play for River Plate...

Although Tang Zheng was only 24 years old six years later, the 23-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo led Manchester United to the 2007-2008 Champions League final...

So Fibino Rodrigo was in consideration of Tang Zheng's future, he pointed to the number of years and liquidated damages on the contract and said: "Mr. Chairman, isn't six years and 10 million USD liquidated damages a bit unreasonable?"

"What's unreasonable?" Mario Aguilar asked rhetorically.

Fabino Rodrygo looked at the smiling Maria Aguilar, and his tone became cold: "Six years later, Don will be twenty-four, and you think there will be a team willing to spend a thousand $10,000 to activate the buyout clause?"

If Tang Zheng didn't earn his living within six years, it meant that Tang Zheng had to stay in the riverbed, otherwise he had to wait until he was twenty-four to find a new employer, which would be extremely detrimental to Tang Zheng's growth.

"You can't say that. Tang's talent is obvious to all, and the club has spent a lot of effort in cultivating him, but don't forget...he only participated in four games! So this is a joint guarantee for the players and the club!"

What Maria Aguilar said made sense, but Fabino Rodrygo couldn't accept it anyway, and said firmly: "The contract is up to three years, and the break contract is three million U.S. dollars."

The club spent all their efforts to train Tang Zheng, that's absolutely farting!

For River Plate, if it wasn't for Diego Simeone's insight into heroes, would River Plate have kept Tang Zheng?

"It's impossible, Mr. Fabino." But Maria Aguilar didn't think so from the chairman's point of view. He was very dissatisfied with Fabino Rodrigo's aggressive approach, so he stretched out his right hand , intending to see off the guests: "By the way... I have an important meeting to attend later, so I won't tell you now. If you change your mind, you can call me at any time."

Fabino Rodrigo also knew that the conversation could not go on, so he nodded and walked out of the Riverbed office building.

Negotiation is the art of compromise.

He also never achieved his goal with one thought.

In fact, what Aguilar said was not wrong, Tang Zheng had only played four professional league games, and he wanted to get a proper salary, but also wanted to get a little bit of a bargain in terms of the contract period and liquidated damages, which was obviously very inappropriate.
