"Pinny, you're kidding me, aren't you?"

"Are you kidding?"

Pinny. Zahavi shook his head and said, "Lister, I'm talking to you very seriously right now. Otherwise, where would I have time to come to you in the Czech Republic now? ”

"Do you want my players to go to cold Russia? Away from the mainstream leagues? No, no, absolutely not. ”

Rist shook his head. Speaking of which, many of Rist's Czech players are already playing in the Russian league. Because in recent times, the owners of the Russian league have invested very well. The players' salaries are also very good. Don't look at the low level of the Russian league, the 11th place in Europe is much lower than the Czech Republic. But their salaries are not low, even a little higher than in the Czech league.

Many Czech players will go to Russia to pan for gold, and the style of play in the Russian league is not too difficult for Czech players to adapt. But the players that Rist sent to Russia are basically ordinary players. No matter how good they are, they can't be world-class players. It is also a good idea to earn some rubles in Russia while you are young.

If one of them comes out and does well in the Russian league, then Rist will give them a chance. ** As they left the Russian league and entered the top five European leagues. But basically the players who go to the Russian league are already half-abandoned by Lister, that is, players with limited future development.

Lister would never let his real talent go to the Russian league. Just like Newest Germany and Kozak, when they became famous in Czech football, it was not that there were no Russian clubs who came to poach people. But Rist refused, because they are the future of Czech football, and their future should be in Europe's top five leagues, and it should be among the big European teams. To go to Russia is to completely delay yourself.

Rist would rather let Nesid and Kozak go to small and medium-sized European clubs for training than let them go to Russia, which is far from Europe's mainstream leagues. Cold Russia easily wears down the aura of these geniuses of their kind.

"Lister, there are not one or two Czech players who play in the Russian league."

"But Givanildo is not like them."

Rist shook his head firmly. Then he said: "Pini, Givanildo was brought to the Czech Republic by me in Brazil with great difficulty. And it took me a lot of effort to make him a player in the Czech national team. His future should be in a big team, and I have already received invitations from many strong European teams. He is already twenty-four years old, and if he goes to the Russian league for a few more years, it will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to play in a big club in the future. ”

Pinny. Zahavi came here to be a lobbyist. It's not enough for the Russian oligarchs to call for rain at Chelsea, they also want to bring in great players into their Russian league, and the appetite is really growing.

Able to say moving Pini. An agent of Zahavi's level came to be a lobbyist, and the target was not a general, but Hulk of Sparta Prague. Hulk has performed well in the Czech league and the Champions League this season, and there are already many European powerhouses who have been in contact with Rister. They all want to bring in Hulk. Hence Pini. Zahavi came out on his own, this time on behalf of Zenit St. Petersburg.

"Lister, the other party is willing to pay 40 million euros to bring in Hulk."

"They have money, and we in Sparta Prague are not short of money."

I have also heard of Zenit club Lister. Behind Zenit stands Russia's largest company, Gazprom. It is also the world's largest natural gas extraction company, almost monopolizing the natural gas market in Eastern and Central European countries, and it also guarantees 25% of the state budget of the whole of Russia and controls 65% of Russia's and 20% of the world's natural gas reserves. This is a typical state-backed club.

They are very rich, not ordinary rich. This is something that Lister also believes. But Sparta Prague was not short of money. In recent years, the Cherny family, by virtue of their control of Sparta Prague, has seen their assets soar. When Rist first became an agent, the combined assets of the Cherny family did not add up to 10 million euros.

But over the years, the Chelny family, with their stake in Sparta Prague, has amassed a huge asset of more than 100 million euros. Sparta Prague has also gone from being a small club with less than 10 million euros in assets to a club worth more than 60 million euros.

Among other things, Sparta Prague now sponsors more than 30 million euros a year. As a Czech club, this is already a surprise to the entire European football world. Sparta Prague is currently short of money. And even if it is sold to other clubs, it can recoup nearly 30 million euros in transfer fees.

"Lister, Zenit is willing to give Hulk five million pounds a year after tax."

"Huh."

Rist shook his head. Zenit is really rich. Whether it is the transfer fee or the annual salary given, it is very top-notch. Five million pounds after tax is the top salary in the Premier League. Like Yaya. Toure earns £220,000 a week and less than £6 million a year after tax. Zenit was willing to give Hulk a £5 million annual salary after tax.

Since the Florentino superstar policy, there is a standard line in European football, although it is not a legal standard, but it is a standard that everyone has a tacit understanding. That's a superstar-level player in European football, and he should get six million euros after tax. The superstars of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship back then were basically this standard. Stars who have passed this standard are recognized superstars in European football.

Even after many years, it still does. In the current European football world, there are not a few people with salaries of tens of millions of euros, but that is before tax. After-tax salaries of more than 6 million euros are still very rare. A star of Hulk's level, getting five million pounds after tax, can only be said to be too frustrating.

"Rist, you should know. Zenit is very rich, and there will definitely be opportunities to cooperate with them in the future. ”

"Pinny, that's it. You asked me to talk to my players. If I can't say yes, I hope you can understand. ”

It's Pini after all. Zahavi came in person. Rist still has to give him enough face, and he can't just reject him. If the Zenit club found Rist directly, who does Lister care about? It doesn't matter how much money you have.

"Okay."

…………

"How much? Five million pounds after tax? ”

"Yes."

"Is Zenit rich?"

Hulk himself was also surprised, so he twisted his big **, and immediately pulled closer to Lister's position, sitting very close to Lister.

"Of course. Zenit's backstage is Gazprom. Do you know who the former chairman of this company was? Medvedev. You should know who he is. ”

Hulk nodded. Dmitry Medvedev is the one who became president of Russia two years ago. Hulk, although he does not know how powerful Gazprom is, also knows that Medvedev is the president of Russia. Since it is a company where Medvedev has been the chairman, it must be very powerful.

"That's good. Rist, I'm willing to go to Russia. ”

Hulk readily agreed, making Rist's mouth open wide. Rist told him that it was only for the sake of respect for Hulk and that he was not trying to convince him of the idea of going to Russia. Therefore, seeing that he was going to Russia so happily, he said in disbelief: "Givanildo, there are many clubs that are interested in you now." Even if you can't go to a big club for a while, there is no problem at all to go to some European powerhouses. But Russia is only the 11th league in Europe, even lower than the Czech league. Are you sure you want to move to the Russian league? ”

"Yes."

Hulk said indifferently: "Lister, didn't you say that even if I transfer now, I can only get a salary of four million euros to five million euros at most?" And that's still before tax. That means I won't even get three million euros after taxes. ”

"But it's not fixed. If you perform well, your salary can be raised. ”

"But when will the salary be able to reach five million pounds after tax. Now I go to Russia for five million pounds after tax, why go to other clubs. ”

Rist was confused by Hulk. And in the end, Rist could only laugh. Hulk was like he had never seen money, and he was simply fascinated by money. He is only twenty-four years old now, and he still has a lot of time to earn money, so why bother in such a hurry.

Therefore, Rist couldn't help but say in the end: "Givanierdo, you have to understand something. You are now twenty-four years old, the right age to move up. If you go to the Russian league now, chances are you won't get the chance to play in a big club in your life. You may not even have a decent honor in your career. ”

"I understand. But can the giants give me £5 million after tax? ”

After saying a few words, it was back to the issue of salary. This made Lister really cry and laugh, this kid has nothing but money in his eyes. He had been completely captivated by the five million pounds after tax, and everything else was not in his eyes.

"Givanildo, let me ask you one last question. Have you really decided? ”

"Yes."

Hulk is excited right now. He is currently in Sparta Prague and can earn up to 1.5 million euros a year even if he counts the various bonuses. If you transfer to Russia, then the salary will quadruple at once. With an annual salary of five million pounds after tax, even the top giants in European football will not open it at will. Because he can get an after-tax salary of 5 million pounds, that is, an annual salary of nearly 6 million euros after tax, which is a salary that only superstar players can enjoy in the giants. Hulk didn't know how many years he had to fight to reach that level. Hulk believes in the money in hand more than in the illusory future.

"Oh well. I'm going to get you the best contract possible. ”

In the end, Rist was very helpless, and he didn't know what to say. For Hulk's future, Lianpini. Zahavi didn't give face, and rejected him at that time. I didn't expect Hulk to be more willing to go to Russia than anyone else. The charm of money is so great, Hulk looks crazy for the five million pounds after tax.

With Hulk's answer, it's simple. Rist soon and Pinny. Zahavi was in contact and then also with Zenit FC to discuss Hulk's transfer. Now that he has decided to transfer to Russia, Rist will of course ask for more transfer fees and more salaries.

Hulk's half ownership is still on Lister's, and the higher he sells, the higher Lister's income. Zenit wanted to bring in Hulk for 40 million euros, and Rist directly shouted that it was 60 million euros. After lengthy negotiations, an agreement was reached on a price of 52 million euros. Hulk's annual salary is also £5.5 million after tax, and with a large five-year contract, Hulk has jumped into the category of Europe's top salaries.

When Rist finally signed the contract, it felt unreal. Hulk, a player in the Czech league, transferred to the Russian league and was worth more than 50 million euros. Anyway, Rist was overjoyed, Hulk transferred to Zenit, and Rist earned more than 30 million euros with the sale of ownership, broker commissions, salary sharing, etc. Rister didn't know where to reason for such a good thing, so he could only be secretly happy.
