Chapter 88 Extra Branch
"Mr. Jiang Mu, what are you talking about the weekly salary of 5,000 US dollars? Or five thousand francs?"
Drogba is a little silly. In 1998, the euro has not yet started to circulate, and the difference between the franc and the US dollar is six times. If it is 5,000 US dollars, Drogba's annual salary will increase 60 times. For Drogba, who is not yet a professional player, this is a windfall and beyond his imagination.
"Five thousand dollars." Jiang Mu replied affirmatively.
Before coming, Jiang Mu had already discussed with Shihelinjia. In order to get Drogba, Jiang Mu will reach the upper limit of $10,000 per week. Jiang Mu believes that within this price, it is not a problem to win a Droba who has not yet obtained a professional contract, unless Drogba is a saint who does not eat human fireworks, he does not have it now. Time, there is still more than a month before the league starts, and every time I play in person. He doesn't have time to do anything else.
"Then I'll discuss it with my family. I've never signed a professional contract. I need to ask my uncle for his opinion." In fact, Drogba was very happy in his heart. Just for self-esteem, he couldn't agree.
"Okay. If you have made a decision, please contact us as soon as possible.
Jiang Mu has judged his mind from Drogba's uneasy and ecstatic expression, and he is not in a hurry to force Drogba to initial the resolution. At this time, Jiang Mu believes that no one can recognize the value of Drogba, and no one will come to smash the price with him. Even if Drogba's current club Le Mans can understand it, Without that financial resources, he believed that Drogba was already in his hands.
Jiang Mu and Lin Na Zhou just walked out of the courtyard door. Drogba walked to the yard excitedly and shouted to Allah, who was working in the garden, "Allah, we are rich. I have money. We can change to a big house."
Alla straightened up and said, "Didil, what good news do you have? Tell me?"
"Mr. Jiang Mu, who just came, gave me a professional contract, which can earn $5,000 a week." Drogba danced excitedly and danced the folk dance of Io d'Ivoire.
"Five thousand dollars? Oh! God." Allah was scared. "Didil, they won't be liars, will they?"
"Allah, how can you be a liar? This will never be. There is only one Chinese coaching in Europe. There is no possibility of fraud. I have seen it in the newspaper." Drogba was a little dissatisfied with his wife's suspicion of Jiang Mu.
"Okay, okay, it's a pleasure to make so much money. This is your first professional contract. Should you ask your uncle? Although money is important, you should also consider your future. After all, you are going to play football in the Netherlands." Allah thought for a moment and reminded.
Drogba's mood has not calmed down and said, "Uncle will definitely agree. He has been a professional player for so many years, with a maximum weekly salary of only 3,000 francs. I just feel sorry for Coach Mark Westlop, who treats me like a father. He hopes that I can lead Le Mans to Ligue 1
"I believe Coach Westlop will understand you. This is a contract that people can't refuse." The virtuous Malian woman comforted her husband, who was pregnant, hoping to give her children a better life and education, and it was impossible to complete all this without money.
In the afternoon, Uncle Goba and father Old Drogba, who got the news, hurried to Le Mans. As soon as they entered the door, Goba shouted, "Didil, such an opportunity must not be missed. If I were you, I would sign a contract with him immediately. Young man, the world is changing too fast. The opportunity is that you just saw your forehead. When you reach out to grab it, it has become the back of your head.
Old Drogba used to be a bank clerk, more patient than his younger brother Goba, and he was not very clear about football, so he didn't say anything.
"I understand, uncle, that's why I discussed it with you right away." Drogba has always respected this uncle and regards him as his second father. Without him, his family might still be in Cote d'Ivoire.
"Didier. I think Alkmaar not only gives you a very generous treatment, but also is more beneficial to your future development. Since Mr. Jiang Mu gives you such a high annual salary, I believe it is serious that he promises to give you enough opportunities to play. What does this period mean to you? You must know better than me that playing more games is the key. I know you want to go to Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Juventus, but, kid, you go there and end up on loan or be a cold bench. In this case, why don't you go to a team to be the main first team player? What's more..."
Goba said cunningly, "Didil, we must become smarter to survive in the white circle when your contract expires. You can choose to go to the big team you want to go to. Alkmaar is just a springboard for you.
"But I feel a little sorry for my coach, Mr. Westlop, who treated me like a child and taught me a lot."
"Son, don't be silly. You are only working with him. If he is really good for you, he should encourage you to go to Alkmaar instead of leaving you. Does Le Mans have the ability to rise to Ligue 1? I don't believe it at all." Goba disdained Drogba's idea.
"Yes, son, your uncle is right. Europeans and Asians can't be trusted. Only money can be trusted." Old Drogba also taught his son a lesson. In his opinion, it's stupid not to make such a lot of money.
Encouraged by his uncle and father, Drogba did not have a trace of concern and said, "Uncle, you are right. I'll talk to the coach first in the evening. He should know the beginning and end of the matter first.
Goba shook his head and said, "The bad guys let me do it. You are too simple. I'm afraid Westlop will deceive you with rhetoric. In addition, when I reply to the Chinese coach after tomorrow. Don't be eager. Let's see if you can fight for a better contract. If Alkmaar comes back, call me first and I'll talk to them for you. You don't have an agent yet. You have to find one in the future. Only the agent can help you get what you deserve.
Jiang Mu and Lin Na Zhou did not leave France that day and stayed overnight in Le Mans. Jiang Mu believes that Drogba will give him an answer the next day. Although Lin Na Zhou does not dare to believe that things will be done so soon, he is now used to believing in Jiang Mu's decision. Jiang Mu has proved his decision every time until now. Correct.
The next day, Drogba called. He thought that Jiang Mu had returned to the Netherlands and planned to go to the Netherlands with his uncle to get things done. Jiang Mu told him that he was still in Le Mans and asked Drogba to come to his hotel for an interview.
In the hotel bar, Jiang Mu met Drogba's uncle Goba. This 30-year-old Ivorian has the cunning and reality of a Chinese farmer. He smiles and is humble, but he does not compromise on his interests.
"Mr. Jiang, Didier told me about going to Alkmaar yesterday. I thank you very much for what you valued. This is a great opportunity. I told him at that time that I should sign a contract with Alkmaar immediately, but just yesterday, Marseille's assistant coach called me and said that Marseille's master Mr. Pierre, the coach, appreciates Didier very much and hopes that I can lead the way. Assistant coach Em is my friend. This is what I told him before, and I'm only getting the message now. After saying that, Goba secretly looked at Jiang Mu's face. He hoped to use this lie to improve Drogba's status and win the initiative in the negotiations, but did not want to anger Jiang Mu and Alkmaar.
"That's good. In this way, Didier has more choices. It's also good for him to make a comparison before making a decision. If Marseille's conditions are better than ours, then we are willing to quit."
Jiang Mu's face sank. He knew that what Goba said was probably a lie, but he couldn't break it directly at this time. If it weren't for the time constraints, he didn't want to give Drogba such a high annual salary, because money can easily destroy a professional player. Anelka and Lobinho are good examples.
Goba smiled and said, "The conditions in Marseille are definitely not as good as Alkmaar gave, but the Didier family work in France, and Didier still has to go to college in Le Mans. If he goes to the Netherlands, he can only be separated from his family."
Jiang Mu looked at Drogba, and Drogba lowered his head. Obviously, this young black guy doesn't have much of his own ideas now. After all, he is the first time to sign a professional contract. He is confused about everything and can only rely on Goba to give him advice.
Jiang Mu said, "Money is not actually the most important issue, Mr. Goba. If you often read sports newspapers, you may know that we are now pursuing Shevchenko and Romario. Their transfer amount is about $23 million. I mean that I have money to buy other famous than Didier. There are a lot of players, but I'm optimistic about Didier's potential. I don't think Didier will be worse than them under my **.
Although Drogba is a rough person, he also understands the meaning of Jiang Mu's words. He was moved and confused. He died for his confidant. He surged blood and said, "Uncle, don't say any more. I think Alkmaar is the most suitable team for me. Coach Jiang Mu thinks of me as much as any coach. , including coach Westlope of Le Mans.
"Didier!" Goba stared at Drogba severely and was very dissatisfied with the child's impulse. It seemed that the Chinese was ready to compromise, but he actually said so. You have to listen to me here..."
"Don't say any more." Jiang Mu interrupted Goba's words. There is really no need to talk more at this time, because the meaning of this Idymois is already obvious, and it is meaningless to say more. "I give Didier two choices, one is a salary increase, a weekly salary of 7,000 US dollars, the second is a bonus linked to salary, and a basic salary of 3,000 US dollars, such as If we can win the Dutch championship and the Dutch Cup, Didier will get more than double the weekly salary of $7,000. Even if you only get a Champions League seat, the weekly salary will be more than $7,000. Mr. Goba, which one do you think you can accept?
Goba's purpose is to ask for money. Seeing that the goal was achieved, he immediately discussed it with Drogba in Diora in Ivorian, and then said to Jiang Mu, "I'm glad that you value Didier, and I also believe that Alkmaar can achieve good results under your leadership, but I didn't like taking risks, so I persuaded Didier to accept a weekly salary of $7,000.
"Okay, in that case, let's initial a contract, and then we will negotiate with the Le Mans Club."
Jiang Mu sneered in his heart and regretted having you, an old slick.
Jiang Mu didn't want to make trouble again, so he asked Goba to initial the contract. Goba and Drogba were now satisfied and signed the contract with Jiang Mu without hesitation. Then Jiang Mu invited them to dinner, and then Goba and Drogba left.
