Zhou Yi ended his nearly two-month special training. He has five days to rest before the team reports in the new season.

But this does not mean that Zhou Yi can sleep well at home every day in the next five days, and he doesn't have to worry about anything.

In fact, he still has a lot of things to do.

These things were accumulated during the special training period of more than a month ago.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yi sent a text message to his agent Tino Schulce: "I'm liberated, Tino!"

Five minutes later, he received a call from Shultzer.

"Congratulations on coming out of hell, Zhou Yi!" Shultze seemed very happy. "Then we can talk about work..."

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes: "I feel like I have entered another hell..."

"Can't say that, Zhou Yi. Have you ever seen a hell full of money?" Shulce smiled.

"Ah, that's heaven!"

"Yes, I'm here to give you money!"

The negotiations between Dortmund Club and Schultze about Zhou Yi's renewal have ended. Although the intermediate process was very twists and turns, the negotiations were finally completed and were the conditions that Schultze wanted.

This has to be said that although Shultze lacks connections and experience, he really has no ability. In addition, he is good at pestering and fighting, so it is very difficult to deal with during the negotiation process, which makes Zorke very troubled.

When choosing the negotiation timing, Shurtze made the right decision. He asked Zhou Yi to discuss it after Shahin's transfer was confirmed. After so many Tymond bought Shahin, they must pay attention to Zhou Yi, so no matter whether they can accept the conditions proposed by Zhou Yi, they must accept them.

Of course, Schultze also made some concessions, that is, allowing Dortmund to increase the amount of the liquidated damages clause to 10 million euros. This is also why Schultze proposed the portrait right before the liquidated damages were negotiated - this was the idea he made, and it seemed that he cared about the liquidated damages, but in fact, what he cared about the most was the portrait right.

The liquidated damages clause became a step forward, allowing Dortmund to step down, so that both parties could accept it. Schultzer used the liquidated damages to win more favorable conditions for himself and Zhou Yi.

It seemed like a concession from Schultzer, but it took a big step forward during the negotiations.

In the new terms, if Dortmund wants to use the portrait rights of Zhou Yi, he needs to pay Zhou Yi in a certain proportion. If he sells the jersey with the Zhou Yi number and name printed on it, he will also share the share.

As long as Zhouyi jerseys sell well, Zhouyi may earn more than one million euros every year if it comes to this item in the future.

So now, the club has changed from a club to Zhou Yi...

When the negotiation was finally settled, Zorke gritted his teeth and said to Shultze: "If you weren't Zhou Yi's agent, I would have let the security guard drive you out long ago! And I won't let you step into Brakel's training base again!"

Facing the angry Zorke, Shultze was not angry, but said with a smile: "I am also very glad that I can become Zhou Yi's agent, Mr. Zorke."

Faced with Shultze, who was super fighting spirit and thick-skinned as the city wall during the negotiations, Zorke was speechless...

"The specific terms of the contract have been agreed upon. I will send a contract document to your email address. You can call me anytime if you have any questions. If there is no problem, we can make an appointment to sign the contract." Shulze said on the phone.

"Okay, Tino. Thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, what are you polite? I want to share the accounts from your income, so working for you is also making money for me. You're welcome, Zhou Yi."

"By the way, when it comes to the share of income, do I need to withdraw my salary to you?" Zhou Yi asked.

"No need for this, ha!" Shultze smiled. "Your money is your money, and my commission is given to the club."

"Club?" Zhou Yi was a little surprised. He had always believed that the so-called agent's salary was to give the player's money to the agent, but he did not expect that it was the club's salary.

"Yes, my commission ratio is that your salary is 8% %, which is actually not much. This money is not paid from your salary, but the Multi-stunt Club will take out a sum of money to me based on your salary." Schultzer explained.

Zhou Yi thought about it for a moment, no wonder Zorke was very upset with Shultze - such a person who made them feel difficult and annoying, in the end, he had to pay the club to support him, and he gave it to him every year. Who would you please?

He didn't know why there was such a regulation, but it didn't matter if he didn't let him pay for it himself.

After hanging up the phone, he started to receive emails and then started reading.

The most critical issue of annual contract salary and salary, Shurtze did not dare to make a decision by himself, and he must ask Zhou Yi's opinion. If Zhou Yi is not satisfied, he will keep grinding with Zorke. Until Zorke collapses, Shurtze doesn't care. Just Zhou Yi nods. Anyway, he is Zhou Yi's agent, so naturally he doesn't have to consider Zorke's mood.

The contract period is six years, two years less than the eight years of the previous contract. It is also a suitable period. Four years is too short for a young player like Zhou Yi, and Dortmund Club will not accept it anyway.

Eight years are too long, and neither Zhou Yi nor Shurtze could accept it.

The annual salary is 1.5 million euros before tax, which is ten times more than Zhou Yi's first contract, which is also consistent with Zhou Yi's performance on the court. Converted into RMB, it is nearly 15 million. Zhou Yi was already a millionaire with a net worth of tens of millions at the age of nineteen. This may be the most obvious change in fate that professional football has brought him.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhou Yi thought the money was a bit less, but Schultzer told him that 1.5 million yuan is already a maximum salary in many Bundesliga clubs, or more than the maximum salary. The entire Bundesliga pays attention to the concept of healthy business, so the salary of players is very strict. Except for a wealthy club like Bayern Munich, players in other clubs are not much salary. Due to the financial crisis problems that have always existed before, the players' salaries are generally not very high. The team's annual salary expenditure is less than the top three in the entire Bundesliga.

Zhou Yi was shocked by the Bundesliga tightening his belt and making health finance. It was not easy for the Leo to speak loudly anymore.

However, Shurtze also assured him that when the time is right, he will continue to negotiate a new contract with the club. At that time, as long as Zhou Yi performs well, it will not be a problem to double his salary. It is impossible for this six-year contract to be executed until six years.

Moreover, the annual salary of 1.5 million euros is still subject to a 10% increase in annual salary, so Zhou Yi's salary will still rise.

In addition to salary, bonuses are also an important part of the players' annual income in the club.

European clubs do not have a single-game winning prize like Chinese clubs, but have a target bonus before the season, such as a league championship prize. If the team eventually wins the league championship, then all players can get different amounts of bonuses according to different proportions. Generally, the more important the player is, the bigger the player, the more bonus he gets.

Therefore, this bonus allocation ratio also needs the agent to strive for with the club in the contract.

Zhou Yi's bonus distribution ratio is not too outstanding, but it is not bad either, and it is medium to the upper hand. Considering that Zhou Yi is less than 20 years old, he is the number one young player among Dortmund in his age group.

Zhou Yi had known the amount of various bonuses for a long time, and he nodded in satisfaction before it appeared on the contract.

The liquidated damages are 10 million euros, and it is stipulated that the liquidated damages can only be activated when there is one year left in the contract, and they cannot be activated before this.

Just in case a team poached Zhou Yi for ten million in the second year of the contract.

You should know that for Bundesliga teams, the transfer fee of 10 million euros is considered huge, but for those giants in La Liga and Premier League, 10 million is not considered money.

Therefore, it is very necessary to add a time limit.

Zhou Yi looked at the terms of the contract and there was no problem, so he called Shurtze and told him that he could make an appointment with the club to sign the contract.

In addition to signing contracts with the club, there are also endorsement contracts.

Because of Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in the first season of the Bundesliga and the huge Chinese market behind it, Zhou Yi has become the target of many second-tier, first-tier, and even first-tier brands.

It is really not an exaggeration to use "queuing to send money in line", and Zhou Yi may not always want these companies that line up to send money in the doorstep. He also needs to delete and select companies that are too well-known and offer too low.

Although Zhou Yi is a newcomer who aims to play for a season in the professional league, Shurtze did not regard Zhou Yi as a newcomer at all, which also made him much more stringent in choosing endorsement brands.

If you only have some popularity in Dortmund, you will not consider it at all, and at least you must have huge popularity in Europe.

In addition, the Chinese market is also a big cake that Shurtze will never give up, but this does not mean that he will relax his requirements for Chinese companies that come to the door. He still requires that those companies are well-known in China and have a certain reputation worldwide. At least they cannot make companies beyond the Fortune 500 companies, right?

The image he set for Zhou Yi is even in China, but his image value will decline even if it is in China.

Because there are too many companies looking for Zhouyi, screening and eliminating them took Shurtze a lot of time and energy.

This also leads to the fact that the signing negotiations in this regard are not carried out very quickly.

Up to now, Schultze has only identified one endorsement brand, namely the famous brand CK from the United States and its youth clothing brand CK_Jeans.

This company came to Zhou Yi because of Zhou Yi's amazing performance in German football last season, coupled with his huge appeal in the Chinese market. In addition, Zhou Yi's personal image is also very consistent with CK_Jeans' brand image. CK_Jeans promotes an innocent and pure heart, confident and positive, and full of vitality. This is like tailor-made for Zhou Yi.

Because Zhou Yi's image and brand characteristics are so consistent, CK_Jeans' attitude towards Zhou Yi next time is very firm.

In the end, the two parties completed a three-year contract. Within three years, the American fashion brand paid Zhou Yi 800,000 euros per year, which was 2.4 million euros in three years. The two parties were talking about an endorsement contract that was exclusive and unique in the field of denim clothing.

In other words, Zhou Yi can no longer sign endorsement with other corporate brands that produce denim clothing within these three years. In any public occasion, if Zhou Yi wants to wear denim clothing, he must wear CK_Jeans, otherwise even if it is a breach of contract, he will have to compensate.

But there is also an advantage, that is, Zhou Yi will no longer have to buy jeans or jeans in the future, and these are sponsored by American fashion brands.

In addition, in order to reasonably avoid taxes, Schultze also suggested that Zhou Yi start a company, which is registered in the Cayman Islands, and money like an endorsement sponsorship contract can be directly transferred to the registered company account, so as to avoid Germany's terrible personal income tax.

This is not Schultze's first, and many players and stars adopt this method to avoid taxes.

However, Zhou Yi was a little worried at first, afraid that he would be found out and become his stain.

In this regard, Shurce explained to Zhou Yi that tax evasion is different from reasonable tax avoidance. Tax evasion is a crime, but reasonable tax avoidance is not, otherwise why is there the word "reasonable" in front of it?

"...The salary bonus that the club gives you is something you must declare and pay. If you do not declare, you will be considered as evading taxes. And the sponsor and your endorsement contract are not signed with you, but with the company you established. And you sign the contract as the legal representative of the company, which means that the endorsement contract occurs between your company and the other company..."

Schultzer patiently explained to Zhou Yi that this is the legal and reasonable approach anyway, and many celebrities do this, otherwise what would a small country like the Cayman Islands rely on to live? It is financial services.
