Football: The King of Efficiency, the Ball Must Go in the Small Penalty Area

the next day.

Fine dining restaurant in the city center.

Here Xu Feng and Raiola met with Fiorentina's manager Rafael.

"How is it, Mr. Raphael, did you have a good time yesterday?

Rafael smiled bitterly and said: "Fortunately, Xu Feng's total transfer fee did not exceed 30 million euros.

"Otherwise, I'm really not easy to explain to the higher-ups."

Raiola laughed and said, "You should be lucky."9

“It will definitely be the highlight of your career as a manager to be able to sign Xu Feng.35

"Wait until the second half of the season, all the Fiorentina fans will be chanting your and Xu Feng's names!"

Raphael smiled: "Then pick up your auspicious words."

"Okay, let's talk about Xu Feng's contract today.

Raphael looked around: "I thought we would find a coffee shop or something to discuss, but I didn't expect you to make an appointment in the restaurant."

Raiola smiled: "Don't worry, we'll talk after we eat.

After a while, the dishes came to the table.

Raiola opened a bottle of red wine and filled Raphael.

"This is a habit I have learned from my friends in the Dragon Kingdom over the past few years. 35

“When it comes to big things, you can’t do it without alcohol. 33

"However, the people of Longguo like to drink white wine, and for me, the spirit of white wine is too strong, so let's drink some red wine.

Raphael watched Raiola without eating a single bite of the dish, and immediately drank a glass of red wine.

"Mr Raiola, you are...

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry about me, you can drink as much as you want. 35

Raiola nodded kindly.

Raphael glanced at Raiola and Xu Feng, and felt that he couldn't just take a sip of wine.

So he opened his throat and took a drink.

Drink this glass of fasting wine.

After a while.

Raphael felt his head slightly foggy.

Xu Feng looked at Raphael's pitiful appearance by Raiola.

193 couldn't help but smile.

Raiola's style of drinking and talking about things must have also been learned from Uncle Liu Gang!

Raiola smiled and said, "Okay, let's get down to business.

Raphael took a bite and nodded quickly.

Take a draft contract out of your briefcase.

"Look, this is an offer for personal treatment from our club."

“This is already very sincere. 35

Raiola opened the contract and watched it with Xu Feng.

After joining Fiorentina, the annual salary is 4 million euros.

In addition, there are additional bonuses that can be obtained if the conditions are met.

That is, at the end of this season, if the team ranks in the Champions League, they will receive a bonus of 250,000 euros.

Score 15 goals on behalf of the Fiorentina League and receive a bonus of 250,000 euros.

Help Fiorentina win any event at the end of the season and get a bonus of 1 million euros.

Xu Feng looked at the annual salary and bonus.

Compared with Chievo, it is indeed nearly doubled.

And the first two bonus conditions, in Xu Feng's view, are basically a matter of finding things.

As long as the top four in the league, you can get a place in the Champions League.

It is not difficult to score 15 goals on behalf of Viola.

Now representing Chievo, he has scored 16 goals in 10 rounds.

As for the third condition.

Fiorentina currently participates in the league, the Italian Cup, and the Champions League, which can be regarded as a third-line battle.

Of these three events, which one wants to win the championship is not so easy.

No wonder the bonus was given to a million.

Xu Feng thinks the annual salary is okay.

Raiola looked at the contract, but shook his head at this time: "This year's salary is too little!"

"Is this the sincerity of your Purple Lily?"

Xu Feng was taken aback.

Raphael was also stunned, and said quickly: "Mr. Raiola, even if it's not a bonus.

"The annual salary of 4 million euros is already the maximum salary in the team."

"There are only two people in the team with an annual salary of 4 million euros."

"They are captain Gilatino, and midfield core Montolivo. 35

"At least five million euros.

Raio stretched out five fingers.

"Xu Feng must get the maximum salary in the Fiorentina team, and his annual salary must be the highest in the team.

Raphael looked embarrassed.

Raiola smiled: "You promised before that when Xu Feng joined the Purple Lily, he would definitely be the core of the team's striker, right?"

Raphael nodded again and again: "That's for sure!"

Raiola nodded: "That's it, since they are already the core of the team's strike, it's not an exaggeration to get a real max salary in the team, right?

"However, Xu Feng just joined the team and received the maximum salary in the team.

"The salary even exceeds that of the striker captain Gilatino and the midfielder Montolivo. I'm afraid it's difficult to convince the public, right?"

Raiola laughed: "Xu Feng has 16 goals and 4 assists in 10 league matches this season.""

"One cup game, 2 goals and 1 assist. 35

"Total 18 goals, 5 assists."

"This is the report card handed over before the half of the season this year.

"Gillardino has 18 goals so far?"

"Montorivo has five assists so far?"

Raphael faltered, apparently regarding Raiola's question.

He couldn't argue.

Raiola smiled: "So Xu Feng deserves Florence's maximum salary."

"Xu Feng is a unique strength in the new team."

"Why can't the salary be unique?"

"Professional football speaks by strength, and waits until teammates see Xu Feng's strength.

"No one will be dissatisfied.

Raiola's remarks are reasonable, and it is true that there is no fault.

Raphael smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, since you said so, I will agree to your offer."5

"Xu Feng's annual salary is 5 million euros! The maximum salary in the team!

"Do you have any doubts about the bonus?"

Raiola looked at Xu Feng, Xu Feng nodded.

Indicates that the bonus is ok and can accept it.

Raiola also nodded to Rafael, indicating that there was no problem.

Xu Feng only found out at this time.

Raiola's Art of Negotiation.

He is like a spring.

You put pressure on him, and the feedback he gives to you will be stronger.

But sometimes, he also relaxes and doesn't push you too hard (dbdg).

The question of annual salary just now.

Raiola's attitude was very firm.

Xu Feng must get the maximum salary in the Purple Lily team, and there is no room for concessions.

This move accomplished at least three things in his career for Xu Feng.

First, Xu Feng's absolute core position in the team is determined from the annual salary.

This is the signal to all Fiorentina players.

That is: although my brother is a new player, he is a big brother.

Did you see this annual salary? My brother was invited by the club with a high salary.

If there is an opinion on me, it is an opinion on the club.

Second, in the next tactical core position, lay a good foundation for Xu Feng.

The current Fiorentina, the striker core is Gilatino.

The core of the midfield is Montolivo.

With the arrival of Xu Feng, head coach Mikhailovich will definitely adjust the team's tactics.

But no matter how it is adjusted, Xu Feng's worth and salary will give a clear signal.

That is, Xu Feng must play comfortably and be able to exert the greatest tactical power.

The third is Raiola's efforts for Xu Feng's personal treatment.

Players who are on the rise.

Whether he renews his contract with the original team.

Or move to a new team.

His annual salary is on the rise.

Just like Xu Feng.

If it really goes according to Raiola's plan.

Move to Juventus next season.

Xu Feng's current annual salary is higher.

After the transfer, the annual salary ceiling on the new contract will be higher.

In other words, it is now five million annual salary.

The next contract is to start from six million at least.

Far more than four million now!

Raiola is so stubborn when it comes to his annual salary.

It is the result of a comprehensive consideration for Xu Feng.

As for the bonus, he just asked Xu Feng's opinion.

Xu Feng thinks there is no big problem.

He no longer entangled, and immediately let go.

Such a tight and loose attitude.

It also made Raphael, who had just been nervous for a while because of the annual salary issue.

I felt a brief relief.

This is the art of negotiation in Raiola.

There must be pressure, but not all the time to the opposite pressure.

Give your opponent time to breathe from time to time.

Let your opponent take it easy.

In this way, until the next important negotiation issue.

When you fight for your own reasons, the other side will be able to withstand it.

Xu Feng glanced at Raiola.

This guy is still looking like a light cloud.

The trend of this negotiation may have already been in his calculations.

Everything Raiola is doing so far.

There is only one core point.

That is, Xu Feng's personal interests are absolutely paramount!

No outside influences are allowed!

Xu Feng sighed a little.

Raiola can become the world's top brokerage predator.

This fat man does have something.

"The contract is signed for 5 years, there is nothing wrong with that.""

Raiola said.

"Our last request."

"Xu Feng's contract has to set up liquidated damages.

"Licensed damages?" Raphael's heart jumped.

But then Raphael nodded too.

Players like Xu Feng.

The future strength is immeasurable.

Florence would never be the place for him to stay forever.

The five-year contract period is not too short.

Xu Feng must have wanted to leave a way out for himself.

"If there is a liquidated damages, then 90 million euros!

"90 million is too high, 75 million euros!

Raphael hesitated.

75 million euros, although not much.

But if Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​or the Premier League giants take a fancy.

With a wave of his hand, it is very likely that Xu Feng will be taken away.

Seeing Raphael frown.

Raiola added: "I can add a clause to the contract. 99

"The default amount of 75 million is only effective for Serie A teams."

"The attention of Serie A has gradually decreased in recent years."

"The finances of Serie A teams are generally not as good as in previous years. 99

"What are the signings of Serie A teams in recent years? 35 million euros can become the Serie A standard king.

"No team can come up with a price like 75 million euros.

Raiola fumbled for a long time.

After drinking red wine, Raphael reluctantly agreed.

Raiola thought in his heart that 75 million euros are not available to any Serie A team.

But next year, there will be.
