Leko and Godot grinded for two days, and finally the two sides reached an agreement.
A five-year professional contract is signed for a breach of $7 million.
Leko has thought about it and thinks it's absolutely impossible for a European team to be willing to pay $7 million for a rookie in the next year or two. So this breach of contract is safe.
If there is really a team that can offer this price, then it will be sold if it is sold, because in a few years, the glory of the ghost does not know if it will be worth seven million?
The biggest problem for newcomers is that they are not stable enough.
He's been amazing for the past four months, but what about after that?
Who can guarantee that he will always be in this form?
No one.
So no matter what Leko thinks, he thinks that this deal club will definitely not lose.
Godot was so confident in Glory that he agreed to the $7 million breach of the contract. He believes that as long as Glory continues to play like this, there will soon be European teams willing to pay for him!
And even if no team is willing to play, it is not too late for Glory to go to Europe when the five-year contract expires. At that time, Rongguang was only twenty-one years old, and he was still very young.
The duration of the contract and the breach of contract are the focus of repeated negotiations between the two parties.
These two problems are solved, and the others are not a big deal.
After Rongguang signed the contract, he could get a salary of 4,500 reais a week, ten times his previous salary! This salary is already in the middle of the team.
If it weren't for the fact that Rong Guang only had four months of football experience, he could have received a much higher salary.
The contract also stipulates that Rongguang's annual salary will also increase by 10 percent per year.
In addition to the salary, there are bonuses.
As an offensive player, goals and assists are indispensable.
The contract stipulates that Glory will receive a bonus of 1,000 reais for every goal scored and 500 reais for an assist.
In addition, there is an appearance fee.
For each match he plays, Glory can receive an appearance fee of two thousand reais.
This contract is very lucrative for a newcomer like Rong Guang, who has only played football for four months.
Not counting other bonuses, only weekly salary. After signing this contract, Rongguang will earn 234,000 reais a year, about 93,600 US dollars, 748,000 yuan!

"There are so many?" Glory exclaimed.
Before signing, Glory listened to Godot tell him how much money he could make with this contract, and after hearing the figure, his eyes widened and he looked at Godot with a face full of surprise.
Leko, who was sitting next to him, snorted disdainfully in his heart when he saw it: Hillbilly!
But he only dared to hum in his heart, and he definitely didn't dare to show his thoughts on his face.
Now that Glory is in the limelight, even the president of the club is interested in him, and Leko can't afford to lose his job for a little personal vendetta - it is said that Corinthians' head of football Edvar Simos has been exposed to gossip by the media about the rejection of Glory, and he is also involved in racial discrimination, and he is very embarrassed, maybe he will be fired, because it affects the image of Corinthians' club......
Because such an idiot lost his job, it was too worthwhile. Leko is still very clear-headed.
Godot nodded: "This is still not the case of the bonus. If you include the bonus, I estimate that your annual income can exceed 1 million yuan. ”
Leko continued to complain in his heart: how can there be so many bonuses, don't dream! Do you think you're going to play every game and score every game!
"A million ......" Rongguang's expression was slightly sluggish, and his brain was about to stop responding.
What is the concept of a million?
What a million yuan looked like in front of him, he didn't know what to do. Not to mention him, it is estimated that no one in their village has ever seen so much money at one time.
Even the richest village chief may not have a million.
His parents worked outside to make money, didn't eat or drink, and couldn't earn a million in their lifetime!
But now in a year, it is possible to make so much money!
The glory felt more and more that he had made the right choice to play with Godot.
If he continued to stay in that small mountain village to herd sheep and go to work like his parents when he was older, he felt that he might not be able to earn a million in his life.
Or if he chose to go to the city's track and field team, it would never be possible to make a million a year.
So even if someone would say that he was unpatriotic, he would never regret his choice.
With this million, you can make your grandparents not work so hard, they don't have to work in the field every day, and they can contract the land to other people to plant.
With this million, his parents don't have to work hard in Shanghai to make money. They can start a small business – and their parents have always had that hope. After working to earn money to provide for their younger brother, their ultimate goal is to save some money to start a business.
With this million, her sister doesn't have to work, she can do what she wants to do, study!
With this million, my younger brother doesn't have to worry about dropping out of school after graduating from primary school, just like himself. He can continue to study, and as long as he can read, he can go to college for glory! When the time comes, my younger brother will be the first student in the village to go to university, how honorable!
With this million, the lives of myself and my family will be turned upside down.
With this million ...... Glory can't think about it anymore.
His saliva was pouring out.
So he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, recovered from his fantasy, and picked up the pen on the table: "Where to sign?!" ”
The question is murderous, as if he wants to eat all the contracts.
Godot opened the contract and poked Party B and Party A: "Didn't you sign it?" It's only been a few months, so you forgot? Over here! ”
Rong Guang suddenly realized and patted his head: "I'm so happy, I forgot!" ”
After saying that, he still he.
Leko saw Glory wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, and really wanted to cover his face.
He has signed contracts with many players, and he has never seen such a boring one, which is really strange enough!
※※※
There was no ceremony for the signing of Rongguang, and there was no invitation to the club's big figures, such as the club's president, to witness, and it did not alarm the outside media.
In the club's conference room, Glory and football director Leko sat at a long table, one on one side, each with a contract spread out in front of each other.
Then Rongguang and Leco signed their names on Party A and Party B respectively.
The text of the contract is exchanged and the signature continues.
Eventually, Leko took the initiative to stand up and stretched out his hand to Rongguang, "Congratulations, Rong. You're a real professional now. I hope you keep up the good work and let us see your progress! ”
Although he hates Rongguang and his agent, on the surface, Leko has nothing to blame, except for a somewhat cold attitude. But no one can expect him to be passionate about every player he signifies.
At the very least, Leco's attitude today is much better than when he signed the youth contract with Rongguang......
This is also what Rong Rong has earned with his own actual performance in these four months.
No red wine, no flashing lights, no flowers and applause.
Rongguang shook hands with Leco, and the signing ceremony was completed.
He and Godot then left.
Leko, who remained in the conference room, looked at the text of the contract in his hand and snorted coldly.
In any case, the task given to him by the president of the club, he has completed it.
He doesn't want to deal with this pair of great players and agents anymore.

Rongguang sat in Godot's car and happily asked, "Godot, I'm a professional player now, right?" ”
Godot was also delighted: "Of course! A true pro! Your first goal of coming to Brazil from China has been accomplished! ”
When Glory followed Godot to Brazil, Godot's first goal was to become a professional footballer. The timeline given by Godot at the time was that it could take five years for Rongguang to become a true professional footballer, considering that he was 16 years old and had not yet learned football.
But he didn't expect Glory's progress to be so fast that it was completely beyond his imagination.
Four months!
In just four months, Rongguang has gone from a layman who has never touched football to a professional player!
It's amazing, it's incredible!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Godot would have absolutely no idea that such a thing could happen.
He now believed more and more that Glory was a rare genius, and that it must be God's guidance that he could meet him.
He thought of the glorious scenes he had encountered in that small mountain village, and it was like a movie, flashing before his eyes.
"Can you make money playing football?"
"You can make a lot of money! Much more than I've given you now! ”
"Okay, then I'll go with you!"
……
Godot asked as he drove, "Rong, now that you're a professional footballer, aren't you going to go home and give your family good news?" ”
Rongguang was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "No, I wrote to them, but I won't go back." ”
"What, are you worried about the round-trip fare? Don't worry, I'll give you a cushion, and when you become a big star, you'll pay me back even more! Godot said jokingly.
The round-trip fare does cost a lot of money, which is a lot of money for today's glory. Although he has just signed a new contract, he has not yet reached the standard of the new contract......
The degree of glory is that Godot, who has lived with him for so long, can be regarded as having seen it.
Why would Glory eat so much in the cafeteria of the training base? Because he heard that there is no money to eat in the restaurant...... So I rushed to the idea that I could eat enough for one meal and not eat dinner.
Of course, there is no suspense, he was scolded by Godot, who knew about it, because a person who is destined to become a professional player cannot spoil his body like this.
But Godot knew that the glory of the road was for what to slam the door.
Because he wants to put his grandparents, parents, sisters and brothers...... The whole family resisted on their thin shoulders.
In order to change the fate of his family as soon as possible, he had to pick a little bit on himself.
Using his own ability to change the fate of his family, Godot has seen a lot in Brazilian football.
So it's not unusual.
Glory listened to Godot's joke and shook his head: "It's not money, Godot." I just want to stay and train in Brazil. I don't think there is enough time, and if I go back, it will take more than half a month to come and go, which is too much of a waste of time. ”
Godot didn't expect Glory's answer to be this.
Not because of the money, but because he wants to improve himself.
Having just signed a professional contract, Godot thought that Glory was going to celebrate, and he even planned to take Glory to a good meal to treat him.
I didn't expect that what Rong Guang thought of was still training.
Thinking about his previous performances, he has been in Brazil for almost half a year, and he probably doesn't know anything about the country and the city other than training and competing. He had never been to a tourist attraction or a fancy show.
His life circle is limited to his home and the nearby lakeside park, as well as the Barafonda training base in São Paulo.
It's boring and makes you want to go crazy.
But he is at home in this environment.
All I have in my mind is improving myself.
Although he had just signed a contract to become a professional player, Godot always felt that psychologically speaking, Rongguang was already a real professional player!
