Chapter 297: Volume 3: The Red Forest: The Star of Tomorrow (Part 2)

"My conditions are that the contract period is five years, the weekly salary is 20,000 pounds, with an annual increase of 15%, and there is also a 100,000 signing fee." Wu Kes finally threw out the standard in his heart.

"The contract is for five years, with a weekly salary of 10,000, with an annual increase of 10%. In addition... a 50,000 signing fee." This was Tang En's answer.

"Five years, 20,000 weekly salary, 15% annual increase, 100,000 signing fee." Wu Kesi refused to budge.

Tang En really wanted to tell the gentleman in front of him that they were negotiating the treatment of a player, not buying pork at the vegetable market. But he guessed that he said so, and the British guy didn't understand what he meant.

But it wouldn't do him any good to stay in such a stalemate. The past few days have been busy acquiring Arteta and dealing with Wood's agent, making him one head and two big, and he has not prepared much for the FA Cup match with Manchester United. End sooner, get rid sooner...

"I will make one last concession, Mr. Wooks. If we still cannot reach an agreement this time, then before the end of this season, I will not have any negotiations with you about George's new contract." Tang En took out his pen , wrote down his new conditions on a sticky note, and handed it to Wooks.

Wu Kesi took a look, and there were several numbers written on it:

5, 15000, 10%, 100000.

He thought about it seriously for a while, weighed it in his heart, then nodded, with a smile on his face: "I accept, Mr. Tang En."

Tang En also showed a smile on his face, as if he was very happy to reach a consensus. In fact, he almost scolded the damn manager to pieces in his heart.

He felt that Wu Kesi picked this time to come to him completely calculated. When the Forest team had just signed Arteta, Twain thought he was eager to reach an agreement, but he just sat here arguing with Twain before an important game, wasting Twain's time.

Tang En didn't think of this at all at first, only when he saw the smile on Wu Kesi's face.

The bloody bastard!

Wu Kes stood up and stretched out his hand: "I'm glad that our cooperation has had a good start, and I hope we can continue to cooperate like this in the future."

"Of course, I also hope." Tang En stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, and the fingertips of the two touched each other, and they retracted it at the same time. This is considered as a handshake...

"However, I still sincerely suggest that Mr. Wooks learn more about this industry. Football and showbiz are not the same thing."

Wu Kesi didn't say yes or no, he just kept smiling and ignored Tang En's words.

Next, the two agreed to let Wooks bring Wood to sign a new contract with the club tomorrow morning, and the matter was finally over.

After seeing off Wooks, Dunn sat on the chair, turned half a circle, and focused his sight on the training ground outside. Everyone was gone, including the workers who maintained the turf.

He has never felt so tired playing against Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho, and Benitez on the sidelines. Maybe it's because he hasn't contacted those more savvy agents in the past two years.

George Wood said to Twain that Billy Vox used David Beckham as an example of a player's success. Now Twain suddenly worried whether the yesterday of Beckham and Ferguson would become his own and his own. George's tomorrow?

When George has earned enough money that Sophia doesn't have to worry about their livelihood, can he continue to maintain his current mentality? When he comes into contact with another colorful world under the leadership of Wu Kesi, will the life of those red men and women, luxurious and rich, shake his persistence in the road he is walking now?

Living in a luxury house, driving a luxury car, getting in touch with celebrities, getting to know acting stars, having entangled scandals with many beauties, shooting commercials, making movies, releasing albums... What is the difference between this and an entertainment star?

Tang En suddenly stood up from his chair.

Beckham is a professional player, but he is also an entertainer! He knows why Wu Kesi is Wood's agent - since Wood is a professional player, it is better to train him to be a professional player with the temperament of an entertainment star. No wonder he wants to use Beckham as an example.

Tang En cursed and sat down again.

Well, let him wait and see what kind of star George Wood will become...

※ ※ ※

The next day, after the training, George Wood came to Twain's office with Wooks. The head coach Tony Twain and the club's chairman Evan Dalgety were already waiting for him. Simple After a few pleasantries, the two parties sat together to finalize the contract text, and then Wood signed his name on the new contract prepared by the club for him.

With a weekly salary of 15,000, George Wood has entered the upper-middle income class of the Forest team.

"George, you're a big star now!" Dunn joked.

Wu Kesi looked affirmative at the side, but in fact he answered very shamelessly: "Well, a big star with a weekly salary of 15,000."

Tang En glanced at him, but said nothing. He also knew in his heart that this figure could not satisfy Wooks. When Wood's performance got better and better in the future, as he was selected for the national team, Wooks would come out to him and ask him to revise his contract and increase his salary.

It's just... If the Forest team's performance was good at that time and the club's operations were in good condition, then Twain would be willing to give him a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds.

After seeing off Wood and Wooks, Evan and Tang En stood at the gate and looked at each other.

Tang En said with a smile: "In the next five years, we don't have to worry about midfield defense."

"Tony, I shouldn't have said anything about the team's affairs, but I have a suggestion." Evan was not interested in Tang En's words, he frowned and said.

"Um?"

"I have instructed the Nottingham media to make a big splash about this renewal."

Tang En was a little surprised when he heard Evan Daugherty say that. He didn't smile when he saw Evan just now, thinking that the boss was not happy about treating a young man like this, but he didn't expect it to be a high-profile publicity!

"George Wood is a young man cultivated by the Forest team himself. He can secure the main position in the first team. He has great potential. I can see that. So I hope you think about whether you can train him to be a team player. The future captain..."

"This..." To be honest, Tang En had never considered such a thing before. At most, he just thinks that Wood has the potential to become the team's core midfielder in the future, but he never thought of wearing the captain's armband on his left arm.

"From the perspective of the club's image and the feelings of the fans, I think it is necessary to cultivate a captain of our own. I don't care what position he plays, what style he plays, but he must be loyal and must be cultivated by ourselves. , are our people."

Looking at the first team, it seems that only George Wood can meet the standard.

Wes Morgan was trained by the Forest team's youth training camp and was also the captain of the youth team. However, his own strength is limited and he cannot play the main position in the Premier League. It is certainly impossible for the team to let a substitute player serve as the captain. Although Eastwood is very popular with fans, he is not strictly speaking Nottingham Forester. Only George Wood was not only trained by the Forest youth team, but also became the main player in the first team, and now he is one of the most popular young players in England. It is reasonable to let such a person be the captain's successor.

Thinking of this, Tang En nodded: "Okay, I will seriously consider this issue. But I think, Evan, this matter has to be done slowly. The current George is not suitable to be the captain. He still lacks a lot .”

Evan expressed understanding: "That's right, so I think you are very correct in asking him to learn more from Demi. He should be able to learn a lot from the Italians. His progress is obvious to all, and it can even be said to be super fast."

The backs of George Wood and his agent had disappeared into the alley outside the gate, and Evan Dalgety was still looking in that direction.

"A chick protected under the wings of a hen will never become an eagle soaring in the sky. Bring him to the fore, Tony."

"Um."
