Chapter 986 2 Doing Work at the Same Time

After Zhang Qi discussed with Gao Xiaodong, at the end of training the next day, Gao Xiaodong called Pogba over and said, "Paul, come back to my car."

Pogba got into Gao Xiaodong's Land Rover, "Brother Gao, you bought a new car again."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Change the taste."

Pogba said enviously: "I can change cars anytime."

Gao Xiaodong said: "With your talent and playing hard, you can change your car at will in less than three years."

Pogba sighed: "It's useless to keep playing in the youth team for another ten years."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "How come you have been playing in the youth team? Isn't the team negotiating a contract with you?"

Pogba said depressingly: "What's the point of talking? They insist on a weekly salary of 20,000 yuan. They said that Macheda and Cleverley's first professional contracts are also 20,000 yuan, but can they compare with me?"

Gao Xiaodong frowned, feeling that Pogba was a little distracted. He said in a deep voice: "How much will Juventus give you?"

Pogba was stunned for a moment, and under Gao Xiaodong's scorching eyes, he told the truth, "Juventus said they would give me a weekly salary of 40,000, and I would rotate my position in the main team."

Gao Xiaodong felt a little impossible and asked: "Who made this promise to you?"

Pogba said: "Raiola told my mother."

Raiola? Gao Xiaodong smiled, "Paul, you are stupid, you actually believe in pulling a fat man."

Pogba said in surprise: "How could an agent as big as Raiola lie to people?"

Gao Xiaodong laughed and said: "Who says celebrities don't lie? Let me tell you, even if you believe in the devil, don't believe in Raiola." Gao Xiaodong immediately changed Raiola's story and vilified it, and told it to Pogba listen.

Pogba said doubtfully: "I didn't expect Raiola to be such a person."

Gao Xiaodong said: "What do you think? He is just a gangster. Let me tell you, once you sign Raiola, you will only be at his mercy."

Pogba ran out of ideas and said: "Brother Gao, what do you think I should do?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "What should I do? Manchester United is still your best choice. Serie A is going downhill, and you are not familiar with it either.

Why go to Serie A? Don't be anxious. The season will end soon. Talk to Manchester United slowly when the season is over. I believe there will be good results. "

Pogba said: "But Mr. Raiola said that I had offended Coach Ferguson's son Jason, and it was almost impossible to get ahead at Manchester United."

Gao Xiaodong said: "You are stupid, and you believe the fat man's words. Let me tell you, Coach Ferguson is definitely not such a person. If he doesn't use you, it only means that your ability does not meet his requirements. It is by no means a personal grudge."

Pogba said: "Does my ability not meet Sir Alex Ferguson's requirements? Who can compare with my performance in the FA Cup and League Cup."

Gao Xiaodong said: "If your ability does not meet his requirements, he will not sign a contract with you at all, but he thinks the salary you want is too high. I think you should lower your requirements and play well on the court. Performance and salary will naturally increase.”

Pogba said: "But my mother said that we can't insist on it now. If we negotiate the contract in the future, I'm afraid the price will be lowered."

Gao Xiaodong said: "You kid, the price was reduced because you have no strength. If you had enough strength, everyone would be rushing to get you. How dare the club bargain with you?"

Pogba said: "The key is that there are clubs rushing to get me now."

Gao Xiaodong reached out and patted Pogba on the back of the head, "You are stupid. Who doesn't want free things? Just like my car, I give it to you for free, but it burns a lot of oil. Do you want it?"

Pogba said distressedly: "They are all wealthy teams. Why should I stay at Manchester United and get 20,000 yuan instead of going to Juventus and getting 40,000 yuan?"

Gao Xiaodong looked at Pogba, as if he was still young, and said: "Wait until Juventus writes in the contract that they will give you a weekly salary of 40,000 yuan. Now everything is said by fat people. Besides, you are familiar with this place." Teammates, you are familiar with the style of play, and I have your back, who do you count on in Juventus?"

Pogba was persuaded by Gao Xiaodong and said: "Brother Gao, I will go home and discuss with my mother to see if the salary can be lower."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Paul, be patient. Mr. Zhang is my friend and a good agent. He will fight for your best interests. Now the team is at a critical moment of competing for the championship. Every game may determine the outcome." Whether you win or lose a championship, you won't have a chance to play. Next season is your chance to perform, do you understand?"

Pogba said: "Understood, Brother Gao, I will discuss it with my mother when I get home."

Seeing that Pogba was not confident enough, Gao Xiaodong gave Pogba another reassurance, saying: "I will see Sir Alex Ferguson later and will tell him about your situation in person. The salary is just a bargain. I believe that in the end You will achieve a win-win result.”

Pogba was very happy to hear that Gao Xiaodong wanted to tell Ferguson in person. Gao Xiaodong is a Ballon d'Or winner, the core of Manchester United, and a close general of Ferguson. If he told Ferguson, Ferguson might change his mind.

"Thank you, Brother Gao. Thank you, Brother Gao. If I succeed in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Gao Xiaodong laughed loudly, "I still need your repayment, okay, we're at the station, go back and rest, don't think too much."

"Okay, bye Brother Gao."

Pogba hunched down from the Land Rover and went home happily.

While Gao Xiaodong was talking to Pogba, Zhang Qi also came to Ferguson's office.

In the field of agents, Zhang Qi is just an insignificant little shrimp. When he entered Ferguson's office, Ferguson just bowed and his butt didn't even leave the seat.

Zhang Qi didn't take it too seriously. He was in his forties and was very familiar with the world. To gain the respect of others depends on strength. If Pogba had Gao Xiaodong's status, Zhang Qi believed that Ferguson would definitely come to the door. Welcome with a smile.

"Sire Sir Alex, I want to come and talk to you about Pogba's contract." Zhang Qi stood in front of Ferguson's desk and said in fluent English without being humble or condescending.

Ferguson took a deep look at Zhang Qi and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, there is nothing to talk about. If you want to sign a contract, the weekly salary is 20,000, otherwise you can just find another job when the contract expires."

Zhang Qi said tepidly: "Sir, you will regret it if you do this."

Ferguson sneered: "What regrets do I have? Would I regret an 18-year-old guy who has proven himself in nothing and still asks for a weekly salary of 40,000?"

Zhang Qi said: "Manchester United is unwilling to offer a weekly salary of 40,000, but some clubs are willing to offer it. The reason why I appear in this office is not because I want to beg Manchester United to sign Pogba, except because Pogba is more familiar with Manchester United and The Premier League still doesn’t want Pogba to be accused of betraying his old club.”

Ferguson was so arrogant at first. Actually, he just wanted to test Pogba's agent and put some pressure on him. Seeing that Zhang Qi has always been neither humble nor overbearing, and calm and composed, Ferguson was secretly surprised and thought to himself, this Chinese is very good. He seems like a very good person.

Ferguson's expression and tone softened and he said: "Mr. Zhang, as you know, it's not that Manchester United doesn't want to renew Pogba's contract. We have already offered him a sincere contract with a weekly salary of 20,000. This is youth training. The maximum salary of a player's first contract is a very good price for a kid who has never contributed anything to the team. But I didn't expect Pogba to be so aggressive and ask for twice the weekly salary. Sir, is he Gao Xiaodong, Messi, or Ronaldo? Manchester United cannot make an exception for him."

Zhang Qi smiled slightly and said: "Yes, Pogba's talent cannot be compared with Xiaodong's. I have known Xiaodong since he was very young. He is a once-in-a-century genius, but Pogba is by no means the same." An average player every year, anyone who has seen Paul play will definitely believe that he is going to be a very good player, you can't deny that."

Ferguson cannot deny that with Pogba's talent, it is an understatement to say that he can become a very good player. It can be said that without the impact of injuries, Pogba will definitely become a star.

Zhang Qi continued: "Because it's 20,000 pounds a week, no, 15,000 pounds, let go of a player for free who can be sold for at least 20 to 30 million pounds in the future. Is this reasonable?"

Zhang Qi's gentle attitude and politeness made Ferguson very fond of him. Besides, Zhang Qi had just made it clear that he was Gao Xiaodong's friend, so Ferguson had to give him some face.

"Mr. Zhang, everyone understands this truth, but youth training players have always signed contracts like this. If we make an exception for Pogba now, we will have to make exceptions for others later. If Pogba really wants money, then he will make an exception in the bonus." , it would be better to give him more subsidies.”

When we met for the first time, we got such a promise from Ferguson, which can be said to be a good result. Zhang Qi did not push for an inch, he understood the principle of taking steps step by step, and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you Sir, I will give you your I want to talk to Paul and see what he thinks."

Ferguson said: "Okay, tell Paul, he is a good young man, but don't be too impetuous. As long as you can play well, you will make a lot of money in the future."

"Well, I will definitely tell Paul this. Goodbye Sir, I won't disturb you anymore."

"Let's stay here and have a drink together tonight," Ferguson persuaded.

"No Sir, I have something else to do, so I won't bother you."

Zhang Qi and Ferguson hadn't even had a drink yet. He politely declined Ferguson's offer to stay and drove away from the Carrington training base.
