"I'm afraid I can't sign this contract." Zhang Guan said solemnly.

Manager Wang and Lawyer Zhu glanced at each other, both of them seemed very calm, they had been observing Zhang Guan from the moment Zhang Guan picked up the contract, and when Zhang Guan opened the page of remuneration and began to read carefully, they had already read the answer from Zhang Guan's expression. Naturally, a person who can be a business manager is very good at reading words and feelings, let alone an experienced lawyer.

On the contrary, Director Sun was very surprised, he felt that Zhang Guan should not only sign it immediately, but also show gratitude to Dai De, his tone was a little heavier, and he asked sharply: "Why don't you sign?" ”

Zhang Guan spread his hands and said, "First of all, I think the money is too little. ”

"Don't think you have a lot of money?" Director Sun didn't expect Zhang Guan to use such a direct excuse, he was slightly stunned, this price was set by the association and Naike, and the association did not consider Zhang Guan's own appeal at all. Director Sun opened his mouth and said: "300,000 a Chinese New Year's Eve, five years is 1.5 million, you know how many people can't earn so much money in a lifetime." ”

"I just don't think 300,000 reflects my value, and I will run faster in the future." Zhang Guan said.

At this time, Manager Wang next to him spoke: "300,000 yuan per Chinese New Year's Eve is our company's strict cost estimate, which is absolutely reasonable. Liu Feiren in the 110m hurdles event is also the Asian record holder, and we also give an endorsement fee of 300,000 yuan per Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"Liu Feiren's value is more than 300,000 yuan in this Chinese New Year's Eve, and the price given by your Naik company is also low." Zhang Guan said and turned his head to look at Director Sun, and said: "I think if Liu Feiren can win the championship after the Olympic Games next year, it will be worth at least 3 million endorsement fees, and now the center has signed 300,000 yuan for him, but he has lost a lot." ”

At this time, the task given to Liu Feiren by the Athletics Association was to rush into the Olympic finals, and he didn't even consider a medal, let alone a gold medal, but what the Athletics Association didn't know was that the economist of the European Bocai Company gave Liu Feiren a one-to-five odds for winning the Olympic championship, second only to the American veteran Alan Johnson, and was the second favorite to win the Olympic 110-meter hurdles. Through its own channels, Naike Company has mastered the odds set by the European Bocai Company, and also knows that signing Liu Feiren for 300,000 Chinese New Year's Eve is a more profitable deal, but the Tianye Association obviously did not grasp this information, and felt that it was he who earned a sum of money from Naike Company.

"It's not so easy to win the Olympics!" Although Director Sun said this, he began to secretly calculate in his heart that if Liu Feiren could really win the championship, the endorsement fee of three million would definitely not be enough, at least four million, so the Naike company would indeed give too little.

People's greed is always unlimited,That's why the sales of lottery tickets will get better and better,Director Sun thinks that Liu Feiren can't have the strength to win the Olympic championship,But it doesn't affect the lust in his mind。

Noticing Director Sun's short-term abnormality, Manager Wang next to him coughed dryly, immediately changed the topic, and said: "Actually, this is just a preliminary contract, we can also add some other terms, such as if you can win the 100-meter championship in the next Doha Asian Games, we can give you additional cash rewards; If you can guarantee to play in the Capital Olympics in five years, our company can also give you a cash reward; These additional conditions can be re-negotiated. Please believe that our company is very sincere to you. ”

"Thank you very much." Zhang Guan nodded politely, and then said: "The reason why I am reluctant to sign a contract is one of the money issues, and there is another problem, I think you have all ignored it." ”

"What's the problem?" Manager Wang asked.

"I'm only seventeen years old this year, and the law says I'm still a minor, and if I sign a contract, this contract should be invalid, so you should sign a contract with my parents." Zhang Guan said.

Listening to Zhang Guan's words, Lawyer Zhu, who had not spoken, frowned violently. Previously, Mr. Zhu's work focused on formulating contracts to maximize the company's interests, but he ignored that the contractor himself was a minor.

Although there are no relevant laws and regulations on the endorsement of minors in this era, Mr. Zhu still quickly thinks about the relevant legal basis in his mind. Although the association does not care whether it is a minor or not, Naike must care, not because of how much Naik abides by the law, but because it does not want competitors to catch its own handle.

Sporting goods is originally a lucrative industry, the competition between international sporting goods companies is even more cruel, any bit of scandal may be caught by competitors, and then infinitely amplified, when the time comes to quell the scandal, it may cost tens of millions of dollars. Signing a minor as an endorsement, competitors can even hype up Naike as employing child labor.

Manager Wang leaned into Lawyer Zhu's ear and asked softly, "Is there a problem with this?" ”

"The portrait rights, reputation rights and honor rights of minors stipulated in the Law on the Protection of Minors are all protected, and no one may use the portrait rights of minors for commercial purposes without the written consent of the minor's guardian. From this point of view, if you want to find Zhang Guan's endorsement, you really need the consent of his guardian, that is, his parents. Lawyer Zhu said softly to Manager Wang.

"Then he just can't sign a contract? Shall we find his parents? Manager Wang asked.

"There are provisions in the Civil Law that as long as you have full civil capacity and can independently carry out civil activities, you can sign contracts on your own and be protected by law." Lawyer Zhu continued.

"Full capacity for civil conduct? How big is it to be? Manager Wang asked immediately.

"Citizens over the age of 18 who have full capacity for civil conduct, and citizens between the ages of 16 and 18 who rely on their own labor income as their main source of livelihood may also be regarded as persons with full capacity for civil conduct." Lawyer Zhu went on to explain.

"How should we define a person who uses his own labor income as his main source of livelihood?" Manager Wang immediately grasped the key point.

Lawyer Zhu thought for a while, sighed and said: "If it is a normal labor force, it is easier to define, but it is difficult to define athletes in our country. In Western countries, professional athletes are recognized as workers, but in our country, the understanding of this aspect is relatively vague and difficult to identify. ”

Manager Wang felt that he was a little encircled, so he asked, "What do you mean?" Can you be specific? ”

Lawyer Zhu thought for a few seconds again and said: "For example, a football player in the A-League who signs a contract with the club and receives the club's salary can be regarded as a laborer; For those sports that are not commercialized, active athletes are basically in the nature of being drafted, no formal labor contract has been signed, food and accommodation are all-inclusive to the sports team, and the salary is also issued in the name of living allowance, the unit has no clear non-labor income and enjoyment, and the athletes do not have a clear labor output, so in the legal sense, such athletes have not formed an employment relationship and cannot be counted as laborers, and naturally cannot be defined by labor income as the main source of livelihood. (At this time, it has not been changed to the Super League, and it is still called A A)

Mr. Zhu's words made Mr. Wang fall silent, as the business manager of the most well-known sports brand, he naturally understands the current situation of domestic athletes. Especially in those sports that are not commercialized, the so-called living allowance of only a few hundred yuan per month is only available for athletes in poor areas or athletes in disadvantaged sports during their active service, and some athletes in poor areas or athletes in disadvantaged sports do not even have these hundreds of yuan in living allowance.

Those well-known athletes have the opportunity to enter government institutions and institutions after retirement, and they are a little bit less able to mix up with the position of coach, while the vast majority of athletes can only take a small amount of severance pay to self-employment. Athletes in these years have no social security, no medical insurance, and the vast majority of athletes have a low level of education and no skills, and there are not a few who are poor after retirement.

Athletics is obviously not a commercial sport, Zhang Guan cannot be recognized as a laborer, and Zhang Guan is still a high school student with regular student status, no matter how it is to say, Zhang Guan has full civil capacity.

Manager Wang raised his head and said to Director Sun, "It seems that we are going to visit Zhang Guan's parents." ”

"No problem, my family lives in the provincial capital, how about calling my dad now and asking him to come over?" Zhang Guan said immediately, trying his best to show a very cooperative look.

Zhang Guan made a phone call, and soon after, Zhang's father came in a hurry.

Director Sun handed the contract to Zhang's father, who hurriedly read it and said, "I can't sign this contract." ”

"Is it because you are not satisfied with the amount?" Director Sun immediately asked.

"Not really." Zhang's father picked up the contract, pointed to the place where the number of years was on it, and then said: "I think this period is too long, and it is a little inappropriate." ”

"What's inappropriate?" Director Sun immediately asked. One of the two fathers and sons thinks that the money is small, and the other thinks that it takes a long time, which makes Director Sun very dissatisfied.

I only heard Zhang's father say: "Zhang Guan's child will be eighteen years old next year, his mother and I have always felt that how he should go when he becomes an adult, he should be allowed to choose by himself, we all want our children to be good as parents, but it is impossible to follow him for a lifetime, right?" Children are important to grow up and always learn to be self-reliant. So if you want me to sign this contract, I can only sign it for one year, and when he becomes an adult next year, I don't care about anything, whether it is renewed or not, let him choose for himself. ”

Manager Wang and Lawyer Zhu frowned at the same time, signing long-term contracts for some young athletes who have not yet become famous has always been an advertising strategy for large companies like Naike, which can also be seen as an investment. Naike spends a lot of money every year to sign hundreds of potential young athletes around the world, and give them long-term contracts, and when the athletes become famous, it will bring dozens or even hundreds of times the advertising benefits to Naike.

But if the contract is only for one year, the complaint will be meaningless, and it is not in the interest of Naike if an athlete is unwilling to renew his contract after a year, or if the lion opens his mouth, which wants to have potential stocks for the long term, rather than a short-term investment full of uncertainties.

But more importantly, Manager Wang and Lawyer Zhu both saw that the father and son were deliberately making excuses to shirk, which looked like they were acting in a double reed, and they didn't want to sign this contract at all. Both of them were human spirits and made a decision right away.

I saw Lawyer Zhu turn his head and say to Director Sun: "We didn't take into account the issue of Zhang Guan's age, he is still a minor, and our contract needs to be revised again, I think it is better for us to go back today and wait until we have revised the contract." ”

Director Sun naturally heard that Lawyer Zhu's so-called modification of the contract was probably just a pretext, and this time the signing of Naike's spokesperson was afraid that it would be yellow.

Director Sun had no way to refute the money paid by the Naike company, and this kind of thing was not something he could make decisions at his level, so he had to say: "Okay, we respect your opinions." But I'll report back to the leadership. ”

……

Zhang's father sent the three away with a smile on his face, and returned to Zhang Guan and said, "How about it, it's a good cooperation!" ”

"It's okay, a little worse than me." Zhang Guan joked.

"Although our family is not a rich man, it is really not worse than their hundreds of thousands." Father Zhang looked at Zhang Guan, and then said, "But what I just said is true. In the past, your mother and I were thinking about cultivating you to become a talent, but now that you have grown up, you still broke the Asian record, which can be regarded as a talent! You have chosen the path of athletes, maybe this road is not easy to follow, maybe you will have more trouble in the future, but no matter what happens, your mother and I will fully support you. ”

"Thank you, Dad!"

"I'll go first, by the way, your mother stewed braised pork tonight, remember to go home for dinner......"
