The first negotiation with Real Madrid ended in failure. The next day, Jimenez and his agent found Tong Yi, with the intention of coming to investigate.
Of course, Jimenez and his agent are also relatively reserved. After all, their future is still in Tong Yi's hands. If Tong Yi really offends Tong Yi, he will lock Jimenez in the Crystal Palace and put him on the bench or reserve team for a few seasons. Then he hopes Isn’t Menez useless?
Therefore, although they came to put pressure on Tong Yi and Crystal Palace this time, they could not go too far.
It would be bad for them to fall apart. Tong Yi was naturally very clear about the purpose of these two people's visit. These two guys must have been bewitched by Real Madrid.
Tong Yi looked at these two people indifferently. He wanted to see what trouble these two people could cause. However, these two people still surprised Tong Yi.
When these two people came to Tong Yi, they didn't mention a word about transferring to Real Madrid, but they kept raising salary?
In fact, Jimenez's agent Mendes only talks about contract renewal! Yes, the agents of Jimenez and Ronaldo are both Portuguese agent Mendes.
This can also explain why Jimenez wants to go to Real Madrid, and why Jimenez has the dream of becoming the emperor.
This is indispensable without Mendes' encouragement from the side. Let’s not talk about the relationship between Mendes and Real Madrid. As far as Mendes’ career is concerned, he needs players to support the scene in Real Madrid.
Isn’t this C. Ronaldo going to be kicked out? Naturally, he wants to recruit another player of his own to take charge of Real Madrid!
After all, this is Mendes’ signature thing! Therefore, he frantically encouraged Jimenez to go to Real Madrid.
And Real Madrid has also approached him. Don't they hit it off right away? Therefore, this was not what Tong Yi expected.
Mendes said bluntly: "Mr. Tong Yi, we think the weekly salary of 250,000 pounds is very reasonable, and we only ask for this price because you have discovered Raul. Otherwise, If so, our asking price will be higher." The meaning of Mendes's words is already obvious. Our asking for a weekly salary of 250,000 pounds is already repaying the favor. Don't you know it's flattering!
Tong Yi glanced at Mendes indifferently and said coldly: "Do you know how much our Kevin's salary is?" Mendes said directly: "I know, 200,000 pounds!" Tong Yi chuckled and said : "Since you know that our Crystal Palace's maximum salary is 200,000 pounds, how dare you ask for 250,000 pounds?" Mendes said without any panic on his face: "Mr. Tong Yi is joking, your club's maximum salary is 200,000 pounds." The salary is more than 200,000 pounds!" Tong Yi turned to look at Mendes.
Mendes immediately said: "As far as I know, your club is pursuing Real Madrid's Ronaldo. His salary level is now 350,000 pounds a week. If he really comes to your Crystal Palace, your Crystal Palace's maximum salary How could it be 200,000 pounds? Do you think so, Mr. Tong Yi?" Tong Yi's eyes tightened. Mendes is Ronaldo's agent. He knows that Crystal Palace is trading Ronaldo with Real Madrid. Very normal.
Mendes continued: "Mr. Tongyi, if your club's maximum salary is 350,000 pounds, I think Raul's asking price of 300,000 pounds is not excessive, right? Now we only ask for 250,000 pounds. This is really a diving price." !" This guy Mendes does have something.
Tong Yi also knew very well that when this guy told them this, he didn't really want to ask for a high weekly salary for Jimenez. In fact, he just wanted to force Tong Yi to agree to Jimenez's transfer.
However, he didn't say a word! So this guy Mendes is still a bit powerful.
Otherwise, this guy wouldn't be where he is today. Tong Yi looked at Mendes and Jimenez indifferently, and then said: "Actually, it is okay to sell Jimenez, but Ronaldo must join our Crystal Palace. More importantly, he must take a salary cut!" Yes Yes, Tong Yi now directly throws the problem to Mendes.
If you want Jimenez to leave for Real Madrid, then you have to get Ronaldo to Crystal Palace, and you have to cut his salary.
c. Ronaldo is unwilling to take a salary cut to come to Crystal Palace, so Jimenez can’t go anywhere! After all, Jimenez still has a two-year contract with Crystal Palace. At this time, it will be fine if Crystal Palace doesn't renew Jimenez's contract.
Crystal Palace is not selling Jimenez, and Jimenez is not going anywhere. Therefore, the difficult problem now lies in front of Mendes.
Does he want Jimenez to go to Real Madrid, or is he willing to take a salary cut to get Ronaldo to Crystal Palace?
This is something Mendes needs to consider. Now Mendes is weighing the weight of Jimenez and Ronaldo.
At present, it is obvious that Jimenez is not comparable to Ronaldo. But Jimenez is young and has potential and momentum, while Ronaldo is really going downhill.
Mendes has also been looking for Ronaldo's successor recently. I have tried many methods before but to no avail.
Jimenez's sudden rise gave him hope, and Jimenez was still someone Tong Yi valued. Tong Yi's vision said everything.
Jimenez definitely has a bright future in the future! So, now Mendes has to consider the present or the future.
Which one is more important, he has to consider it himself. Mendes smiled bitterly. He did not expect that this problem would eventually be placed in front of him.
Yes, he came today just to throw a difficult problem in front of Tong Yi and make Tong Yi feel uncomfortable. Little did he know that in the end, he would be the one who felt uncomfortable.
What else could Mendes do but smile bitterly? This guy Tong Yi is really awesome! After thinking about it for a long time, Mendes suddenly said: "How much will Ronaldo reduce his salary? To 300,000 pounds a week?" Yes, Mendes made a choice, he chose the future.
Tong Yi had long known that Mendes would choose this way. He smiled slightly, then shook his head and said: "No, no, no! It's 250,000 pounds! You know, the maximum salary of our club at this stage is 200,000 pounds. He comes to our Crystal Palace Giving 250,000 pounds is already too much!" Mendes immediately shook his head wildly, impossible!
No fool would agree to a sudden reduction in weekly salary of 100,000 pounds! C. Ronaldo will definitely not agree, and Mendes will not agree either.
Your asking price is too harsh! Mendes suddenly felt that this guy Tong Yi actually had no intention of letting Jimenez go. The price he offered was just to make them retreat, just like the purpose of their coming here today. .
hiss! Mendes stared at Tong Yi, feeling that this guy in front of him was really difficult to deal with. Mendes said coldly: "Mr. Tong Yi, you are so insincere." Tong Yi immediately shook his head and said: "I am very sincere. The weekly salary of 250,000 pounds is already the ceiling of our Crystal Palace. No matter what No one can exceed this weekly salary! You have to know that Kevin only earns 200,000 pounds a week!" Mendes knew that Tong Yi did not deliberately target them. This 250,000 pounds weekly salary is indeed true in Crystal Palace. It's up to the sky.
However, this is really very different from Ronaldo's salary. It's almost impossible to agree on this.
Jimenez was a little anxious at this time. He really wanted to go to Real Madrid, and he didn't want the deal to be stranded like this.
Seeing the pleading in Jimenez's eyes, Mendes turned to look at Tong Yi and asked: "Mr. Tong Yi, is there no other way or room for negotiation?" Tong Yi smiled again and said: " It's not like nothing!" Jimenez's eyes lit up, as if he saw hope again!
But Mendes smiled bitterly in his heart. For a master like Tong Yi who would not suffer a loss, even if there were other methods, he would not suffer a loss, and it would also be very difficult.
But having a way is better than having no way, and talking about something is better than talking about nothing! Mendes immediately looked at Tong Yi and asked: "Mr. Tong Yi, what can you do?" Tong Yi said directly: "The way is that we can still only give Ronaldo a weekly salary of 250,000 pounds. But I can give him some high bonuses for winning the championship. For example, he will be given a bonus of 2 million euros for winning the Premier League championship, and a bonus of 4 million euros for winning the Champions League. In this case, his total annual salary will exceed 20 million euros. Yes, in this case, there will be no salary reduction for Ronaldo, and there will even be an increase, don't you think?" Jimenez immediately nodded his head, if this is the case, then everyone will be happy!
But Mendes doesn’t think Tong Yi has such good intentions? Since you are willing to give him such a large bonus, can't you just divide the bonus into your weekly salary?
This guy Tong Yi must have a trap waiting for him. Mendes stared at Tong Yi and said: "Mr. Tong Yi, if you have anything to say, just say it in one breath. Don't hang us." Tong Yi smiled and said: "Clever!" Mendes was speechless!
Tong Yi said calmly: "As I said, our Crystal Palace is only willing to pay a weekly salary of 250,000 pounds. As for bonuses, we Crystal Palace cannot provide them. So where does this bonus come from? Naturally, it comes from Real Madrid. So, if Mr. Mendes wants to facilitate this deal, then he should persuade Real Madrid to use Ronaldo plus 20 million euros to introduce Jimenez. In this way, all the problems will be solved, right?" Mende Si had a wry smile on his face. Sure enough, this guy Tong Yi had dug a hole for him and was waiting for him.
The Chinese soft rice man is not a loser! Today, he was entrusted by Real Madrid to find Tong Yi to lower the price.
Unexpectedly, at the end of the day, the price was not lowered. Instead, he wanted to cheat Real Madrid and throw the problem to Real Madrid.
The Chinese soft rice man really has you! Real Madrid really shot themselves in the foot.
If he had known that this would be the result, Real Madrid would not have come forward to show up to him.
After Mendes and Jimenez looked at each other for a few times, Mendes said helplessly;
"Mr. Tong Yi, you win. After we go back here, we will try our best to persuade Real Madrid to conclude this deal." It's okay if Mendes doesn't agree!
He really wants to get Jimenez to Real Madrid and make Jimenez the new face of their agency, at least the new face of the future.
Regardless of whether Jimenez succeeds or not, they must do this. After all, Ronaldo is old, and someone new must come up.
Therefore, if no one wants to suffer a loss, then the only thing they can do is to wrong you, Real Madrid. Who told you that Real Madrid is not short of money?
Mendes immediately said goodbye and was going to meet with representatives of Real Madrid to become a lobbyist.
