Aurerio de Laurentis did not ask Chen Yingxiong to reconsider the signing matter. He just told Chen Yingxiong about his ambitions and two five-year plan blueprints, and then said goodbye.

"What do you think, hero?" As he left this high-end Italian restaurant, agent Dracula asked Chen Yingxiong.

"People are quite interesting." Chen Yingxiong told the truth. He always thought that the bosses of the club should have a very big ambition and a very unfathomable speech. He said a lot of things that seemed mysterious, but you didn't understand a single word. But he didn't expect that the boss of this club was very frank and straightforward. This surprised him and he had a good impression of De Laurentis.

"No, I'm asking you about going to Naples..." Chen Yingxiong answered the question irrelevantly, and Durcula had to explain it clearly.

"Oh, what else can I think? People have no more about signing the contract. I think it's probably because I said that they were a relegation team, which made them angry and came here to clarify this point." Chen Yingxiong shrugged. He felt that after saying bad things about others, this matter was basically ruined. It can be seen from the conversation that de Laurentis seemed very frank and told him a lot about Naples, but he just didn't talk about signing the contract and never mentioned it, just as Naples had never planned to sign with Chen Yingxiong...

Dracula frowned slightly. To be honest, after listening to De Laurentis' words, he actually felt that this team could be considered seriously, because their boss is rich and ambitious, the club has good financial conditions, a strong fan base, and they once had glorious years, so it was destined that they could not be willing to be a relegation team.

It is great to go to this team whether you want to win the championship or plan to use it as a springboard for wealthy families. If this team is willing to participate in the European battle, then Chen Yingxiong's chances of appearing in Europe will increase greatly, and naturally it will attract the attention of those wealthy families.

If the Russian League is still too closed and playing football in the Russian Super League is unknown, then what about playing football in the Italian Football League, which once known as the "Small World Cup", is completely different. Even if you cannot participate in the European game, your performance in Serie A alone will attract the attention of those giants.

This is why Serie A is more attractive than Russian Super League.

That is, Chen Yingxiong has so many requirements. If he changes to other players, what team will be relegated? What is the qualification to fight in Europe? People don’t think about it at all. As long as you are a Serie A team, they are willing to join. Even if it is a team that relegates every year in the Serie A League, they are willing to give up their life in the Russian Super League giants and come to your team.

For the players of the Russian Premier League, the temptation of the mainstream top league in Europe is too great.

In fact, he felt a little regretful. Chen Yingxiong's decision to refuse was too hasty. He didn't know what kind of team Naples was, but he just rashly defined as a "relegation team" when he heard that he was a promoted team. He didn't even know which one he currently ranks in the league.

He looked at Chen Yingxiong and found that Chen Yingxiong seemed to feel a little regretful.

"Go back?" He opened the car door and looked at Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong nodded.

On the way back, he was always silent, unlike Dracula who would always talk to him, like a chatterbox.

He may finally be thinking about his future seriously.

Dracula thinks it may be a good thing for Chen Yingxiong, who is a little simple-minded, right?

One night later, Chen Yingxiong sat in front of the computer and used the QQ video call mode to communicate with his parents. His parents finally learned how to use QQ video chatting. Now they have to make a call once a week, and the hour of this call is like a rare sacred ceremony for mothers and fathers. Every time Chen Yingxiong opens the video, he can see the parents sitting upright on the computer, just like the leaders in the news who hold video conference calls.

Through video calls, the mother can see her appearance and hear her voice, which can somewhat relieve her longing for her son.

At this moment, agent Dracula called Chen Yingxiong.

"Ah, I have a phone number, you guys wait a moment, parents." After Chen Yingxiong said that, he took off his headset and picked up his phone.

"Naples are looking for me."

"Can you change the opening remarks? It's been three consecutive days...wait! Who did you think you are looking for you?" Chen Yingxiong was originally complaining about the agent's uninvention and the author's lazyness. At this moment, he suddenly realized that this repetition revealed a hint of unusual smell.

"The Naples Club, they called me again, hoping to talk about the contract again."

"Uh..." Chen Yingxiong originally thought that the story between him and Naples had ended, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so persistent.

"Do you want to refuse?" Dracula asked.

"Well... no." Chen Yingxiong made a decision after a little consideration. "Let's see their conditions first."

"What if it's right?"

"If it's right... I can only sign with them now, right? Other teams that are interested in me have been rejected by the club."

"Actually, you can also make a big fuss with the club and force them to agree to the offer of the team you like. If they don't agree, you will stop training and work hard in the game or not..." Durcula said.

Chen Yingxiong interrupted him: "That's not my style. Besides, St. Petersburg gave me a chance. No matter what, this team is kind to me. The fans here like me to support me, and the teammates here have a good relationship with me. No matter what, I don't want to make my relationship with the club too stiff..."

After he finished speaking, he didn't hear any sound from the other side of the phone. "Hey? Is the signal bad?"

"No. I'm so surprised to hear you say this." Dracula's voice rang again.

"Hey, do you think I'm really that kind of ungrateful person?"

"No, I just feel that I feel a little inconsistent when I say these warm words from your mouth."

"Damn, go and die!" If Durcula had been in front of Chen Yingxiong at this time, he would have shaken his middle finger to express his greetings.

Dracula followed Chen Yingxiong's instructions to contact the representatives from Naples, while Chen Yingxiong continued to bring the headset and chatted with his parents who had been waiting for a while.

"Whose phone call was just now, hero?" Dad asked.

"Dad, mom, do you want to see me on CCTV every weekend?" Chen Yingxiong asked.

Aurerio de Laurentis, who had returned to his home in Los Angeles, received a call from Marino. On the phone, Marino told him that the club was discussing the contract with Chen Yingxiong's agent. He was still surprised that Chen Yingxiong had changed his attitude because of why he changed his attitude - De Laurentis did not tell him about his trip to St. Petersburg and personally looked for Chen Yingxiong, otherwise he would be surprised. Because as the boss of the team, he had never gone to find any player himself. He threw all the club's specific management work to Marino, and what he said to him was very simple: "I give you the money, you are responsible for spending them."

Marino is responsible for specific matters, while he is responsible for the general direction of the club's development.

This was his first time in the club's specific business, because he was worried that if he didn't take action, the ideal center that met his standards would be snatched away by other clubs - due to the behavior of trade secrets, he did not know that Zenit club rejected all other competitors, so he only agreed to the offer of the club in Naples, which was forcing Chen Yingxiong to transfer to Naples so that Zenit could make millions of euros more. So he had no competitors at all.

From this incident, he also found that Marino was a good player in running the team. He was good at buying young players with potential at low prices. After training, the value of these players will increase several times, or even more than ten times. Under his management, the team achieved financial surplus. In this era when almost every family is in losses, Naples is one of the few clubs that can make profits.

But De Laurentis is not short of money, he is not just satisfied with that. Last summer, after the team returned to Class A, he increased his investment, whether it is salary or transfer fees.

He knew very well that it was impossible for a team to become the world's top giant in five years without spending money.

But Marino's business philosophy is too petty... Perhaps because he has been with the stingy boss of Udinese for too long, he is always reluctant to spend money in the transfer market. He says to him every year: "I will give you this money, and you will be responsible for spending it." As a result, he always can't spend it all!

How can the team grow like this?

If Marino knew what the boss thought of him, he would definitely feel that he was more unfair than Dou E - if he knew who Dou E was.

It’s unfair! I’m dedicated to saving money for the team and working hard for you. I didn’t expect that the boss would not want to make money, but spend money!!

Regarding personal contracts, Chen Yingxiong's principle for his agent Dracula is very simple - he cannot make less than he earns in Zenit. He worked hard to transfer, and if he earns less than he earns in Zenit, how could he feel?

A weekly salary of 100,000 euros is a joke, but it cannot be less than 40,000 euros.

Marino was in trouble again. Naples' ability to keep profitable has a lot to do with the salary cap they implemented.

Currently, only two players in the team have annual salary of more than one million euros. Lavic has 1.4 million euros and Hamsik has 1.3 million euros.

This is already the highest in the team.

But Chen Yingxiong has an annual salary of 2 million euros in Zenit, St. Petersburg. He demands that he cannot earn less than what he earns in Zenit, which means that at least it is an annual salary of 2 million euros. This will far exceed the salary cap level of Naples.

Marino is worried that Chen Yingxiong's arrival will break the team's salary balance. You should know that it is not news that Lavic and others demand a salary increase. Just last year, when the team was promoted to Serie A, Lavic once relied on being a great contributor to the team's promotion to find a club to raise their salary. Guess how the boss De Laurentis answered him?

"If an actor was like you, I would have eaten him raw!"

This boss is sometimes generous and generous, and sometimes he is as stingy as Grandet. He is as unpredictable as his personality.

Because of Ravic's past lessons, Marino felt that Chen Yingxiong's request de Laurentis would definitely not agree, but he had to report it to the boss...

After hearing Marino's report, de Laurentis asked: "How much does his agent offer?"

"The weekly salary of 80,000 euros is still after tax." This is the reason why Marino feels that things cannot be agreed. Italy's tax is very heavy. Among the five major European leagues, Italy's tax rate is the highest - forty-eight percent, and nearly fifty percent.

In other words, if the club promises Chen Yingxiong’s agent a weekly salary of 80,000 euros after tax, the actual salary paid by Naples is about 160,000 euros per week.

De Laurentis smiled. "What a vampire!" He thought of the agent's name - Vlad Dracula. Isn't that the name of the legendary vampire Count? He didn't know whether the agent was intentional or purely coincidental, but his style of asking for the club's lions really had the style of a vampire.

After hearing what the boss said, Marino felt even more that the matter could not be settled.

"Tell him that the maximum tax is 50,000 euros. This cannot be discussed, but we can talk about the bonus. Tell him, didn't he say that he could score goals in particular? Then link the bonus income to his goals. Each goal is 10,000 euros, the more he scores, the more he gets."

Marino has to admire his boss, he is indeed smart!
