Chapter 282 Bonus Requirements

Chen Hero felt that the theme of his life these days was constantly talking on the phone with De Keula.

De Keula reported to him on every step of the negotiations with Naples, received the latest instructions from him, and then continued to entangle with Naples.

"They don't agree to a weekly salary of 80,000 euros."

"They would be strange if they agreed!" Chen Hero rolled his eyes. Eighty thousand euros was not his idea at all, it was purely De Keula's decision. De Keula's plan was to first make a big offer so that he could bargain, otherwise if you start with 50,000 euros, how can you talk about it? If the other party presses the price down, it is already less than what you earn in Zenit, so what is there to talk about?

"They said the highest is 50,000 euros, after tax."

"Oh?" This price is higher than Zenit's, which basically meets the requirement of "cannot earn less than in Zenit."

But is that all?

"They said the weekly salary is not negotiable, but the bonus can be discussed. A goal bonus of 10,000 euros for each goal scored."

This price is much higher than Zenit's goal bonus. In Zenit, Chen Hero can get a goal bonus of 4,000 euros for each goal he scores.

10,000 euros for a goal is not low. Chen Hero was quite satisfied with this, but his mind turned and he thought of another point.

"Can... can we talk about other bonuses?"

※※※

Marino soon received a call from De Keula: "My player has his own ideas about bonuses. This is his requirement—first, a goal bonus of 10,000 euros..."

This is exactly the same as what Marino offered, and Marino wondered what there was to discuss about this?

10,000 euros for a goal is already the treatment of a top striker... No, maybe even top strikers don't have such treatment.

But he was wrong. How could Chen Hero be the kind of person who is easily satisfied? So then De Keula reported one by one the "bonus requirements" that Chen Hero had told him.

"Second, an additional bonus of 20,000 euros for scoring in two consecutive games. Third, an additional bonus of 30,000 euros for scoring in three consecutive games... And so on, however many consecutive games you score in, you will get an additional bonus of that many 10,000 euros. Fourth, an additional bonus of 20,000 euros for a brace in a game. Fifth, an additional bonus of 60,000 euros for a hat-trick in a game. Sixth, an additional bonus of the number of goals multiplied by 50,000 euros for a poker or more goals scored. Seventh, a bonus of 40,000 euros for two consecutive games with a brace, a bonus of 60,000 euros for three consecutive games with a brace, and so on, for however many consecutive games with a brace, a bonus of the number of games multiplied by 20,000 euros. Eighth, if you score a hat-trick in two consecutive games, you will get an additional bonus of 200,000 euros, and if you score a hat-trick in three consecutive games, you will get a bonus of 300,000 euros, and so on, for however many consecutive games you score a hat-trick, you will get a bonus of the number of games multiplied by 100,000 euros. Ninth, a one-time bonus of 600,000 euros for winning the league's top scorer, a one-time bonus of 200,000 euros for winning the domestic cup's top scorer, a one-time bonus of 300,000 euros for winning the UEFA Cup's top scorer, and a one-time bonus of 600,000 euros for winning the Champions League's top scorer. Other winning bonuses, championship bonuses... and other bonus benefits can be in accordance with the team's standards."

After De Keula finished reading these bonus requirements, Marino was completely speechless.

What should he say? Does this kid have absolute confidence in his scoring ability? Or is he just making fun of me?

※※※

De Laurentiis received the faxed document from Marino, which was just one page, and it contained the bonus requirements proposed by Chen Hero.

"...The above rewards can be superimposed, except for the top scorer award, all are settled after each game, and all are after-tax amounts."

After reading the last sentence, De Laurentiis's face was full of wonderful expressions. At first, he thought this kid was crazy, and then he thought he was kidding him. In the end, he thought about it and laughed again.

This is what this kind of person should do.

Isn't it just a bonus? No matter how fancy he plays, the number of goals is limited, and how much money can he take out of his wallet? What's more, if he really becomes the league's top scorer, he will be willing to pay for these Golden Globe bonuses.

De Laurentiis called Marino and said, "Agree to these requirements of his, and then sign a contract with him. The signing must be completed within a week."

When Chen Hero heard from De Keula that Naples intended to fully accept the requirements he had proposed, he was taken aback.

In fact, he was also learning from De Keula, making a big opening and then bargaining. The so-called "ask for the sky-high price and pay back on the ground" is the principle.

There are many things in it that you can't see the difference from the words, but in reality, it is full of traps.

For example, the extra bonus for consecutive goals. On the surface, it seems that if you score in two consecutive games, it's 20,000 euros, and if you score in three consecutive games, it's 30,000 euros. But in fact, there is a lot of mystery in it. Because it is settled after each game, if you score in two consecutive games, the club will give Chen Hero 20,000 euros. When he scores again in the next game, it will be three consecutive games, so he will have to give Chen Hero 30,000 euros, but this 30,000 euros includes the consecutive goals in the first two games, which means that the extra bonus for the goals scored in the previous games will be given repeatedly. For however many consecutive games he scores, this extra bonus will be repeated that many times. If he scores in four consecutive games, it will be 40,000 euros, including the extra bonus for scoring in two consecutive games twice, and the extra bonus for scoring in three consecutive games once.

This doesn't even include if Chen Hero scores a brace in two consecutive games, he will also have to add the 40,000 euro bonus for two consecutive games with a brace and the 20,000 euro bonus for a single game with a brace. If Chen Hero scores a hat-trick in three consecutive games, the actual bonus he gets should be like this—a single goal bonus of 10,000 euros multiplied by nine, plus a single hat-trick bonus of 60,000 euros multiplied by three, plus a bonus of 20,000 euros for scoring in two consecutive games, plus a bonus of 30,000 euros for scoring in three consecutive games, plus a bonus of 40,000 euros for a brace in two consecutive games, plus a bonus of 60,000 euros for a brace in three consecutive games, plus an extra bonus of 200,000 euros for scoring a hat-trick in two consecutive games, plus an extra bonus of 300,000 euros for scoring a hat-trick in three consecutive games.

9+18+2+3+4+6+20+30=92 (unit: 10,000 euros).

The actual bonus he gets for these three games should be 920,000 euros! It's almost equal to half a year's salary in Zenit now...

Of course, scoring a hat-trick in three consecutive games is a very rare and extreme situation...

But it can also be seen from this that this is definitely not a simple math problem of rewarding so many 10,000s for scoring a few goals.

Unexpectedly, Naples agreed directly without even talking about it!

Chen Hero was suddenly moved by the sincerity of Naples—for Chen Hero, sincerity is especially simple, and can be measured by Yong money. The more money you spend, the more sincere you must be. If you are not willing to spend money, you are 100% insincere—you are not even willing to spend this little money, so what "sincerity" are you talking about with me?

He felt that signing with this ambitious, rich, and sincere club was not a bad thing.

However, don't blame him for being greedy, he has another request...

※※※

After training, Chen Hero stopped Arshavin.

"I'll treat you to dinner, Shava," he said to Arshavin when there was no one around.

"Then I'll call Igor and the others..." Arshavin thought this was another collective activity of the eating, drinking, and playing group.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hero waved his hand to stop him: "Just the two of us, Shava."

"Huh?"

※※※

Arshavin sat in the private room of Rui Long Ju—Rui Long Ju's business has been booming in the past two years. The boss, Ren Tianhua, bought the building next door and expanded the scale of his business. This small shop also has a few more private rooms with names in the style of "plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum."

The two people sat face to face, and their table was full of rich Chinese food, but obviously neither of them was in the mood to taste the food.

Arshavin looked at Chen Hero opposite him in surprise.

"What did you just say, Hero?"

"Are you willing to go to Naples with me, Shava?"

Everyone knows about the relationship between Naples and Chen Hero during this period of time. Because the newspapers are saying that Naples is very optimistic about Chen Hero. Now hearing Chen Hero say this, it is obvious that things have basically been negotiated, and it is a foregone conclusion that he will go to Naples.

"You're going?"

"Yeah, if there are no accidents, I'll go this summer," Chen Hero said.

"Congratulations!"

"Don't congratulate me, I'm just asking if you are willing to go to Naples with me. The boss of that team talked to me, and I feel that he is a person with ideals and ambition. And Naples is a Serie A team, I think it's better than a Russian Super League team, right?" Chen Hero said.

"Uh, why would you think of asking me to go together..."

"Don't you want to leave Russia and go to a bigger stage?"

"But I want to go to Barcelona..."

"Didn't you also say that people are not interested in you? I also want to go to a wealthy family, Shava, but the wealthy family doesn't know me. Going to a Serie A team like Naples can make you get the attention of those wealthy families. I think this is more realistic. Let's go to Naples together! With our tacit understanding, we will definitely be successful in Serie A! Maybe you can go to Barcelona then?"

Chen Hero is like a lobbyist, persuading Arshavin.

In fact, Arshavin has been considering going abroad for a long time. When Skrtel was bought by Liverpool, he congratulated Skrtel, but he felt sour in his heart. He has been the Russian League's Footballer of the Year for two years, and he has not been favored by a wealthy team like Liverpool. Instead, Skrtel, who is younger than him, was taken away. Chen Hero has the opportunity to go to Naples, and he has also envied him.

Starting from Bystrov, his friends left one by one, to a bigger stage, to pursue bigger dreams. What about himself? Still in Saint Petersburg Zenit.

Why doesn't he want to go out and break through?

The outside world is wonderful...

"Go, Shava! Let's go together, it's better to have a companion," Chen Hero didn't have any awareness that he was digging the corner of his old club. He only thought that this transfer was an opportunity for him, and it should also be an opportunity for Arshavin.

"If you want to go, I'll tell that boss and let him take us away together!"

After hearing Chen Hero say this, Arshavin raised his head and looked at the person opposite him blankly.
