Chapter 533 Lucas' Agent Story
Chapter 533 Lucas' Agent Story
Lucas, Rong Guang, and Deborah soon met in the restaurant.
Lucas didn't expect Rong Guang to be able to persuade Deborah, and for a while he didn't know what Deborah was thinking.If she was destined to leave Rongguang, why did she still want to be her own manager?
But no matter what, Lucas was very happy to have Deborah as his manager.
He has seen the changes in Rongguang's going to Europe, and many of them are due to Deborah.
If Deborah could really be his own manager, it would mean that he would make more money than he did now.
As a professional player, who doesn't like money?
After the three sat down, what Deborah was most concerned about was how Lucas signed the contract with the opposing agent.
She offered to see Lucas's agent contract.
But who is free to go out to nightclubs and still carry the contract with them?
So Lucas can't take it out now.
But Lucas promised to go back to get the contract after dinner.
He first introduced the situation of his agent to Deborah.
Lucas' current agent, Jose La Maria, is not actually a Brazilian, but an Argentine.But this is nothing surprising, the South American agent Juan Figel, who controls 90.00% of the Brazilian players going to Europe, is not Brazilian, but a Uruguayan.
Therefore, the agent of a Brazilian player does not necessarily have to be Brazilian.
La Maria was discovered by La Maria at the football school when Lucas was very young, when he was just 11 years old.
Then he painted a very bright and bright future for Lucas with some sweet words.
Lucas, who was still young at the time, didn't know that the other party was fooling him, so he naturally agreed.
Only later did I realize that I had been lied to.
La Maria just likes to use this kind of lies to deceive those young players, and then use the lowest price to gain their trust and get their agency contracts.
He doesn't need to spend too much energy and money on these young people, he just observes them silently, and he will increase his investment if he is talented, and ignore them if he has no talent.
In fact, you can't blame La Maria for what you did, because everyone did it.
In South American football, especially in Brazil, many agents are digging around for those talented kids, and then sign contracts with them, and some even directly buy the ownership of the player, so when the club wants to buy the player, it has to talk to the agent, and the transfer fee has to be paid to the agent, or the agent company.
And the players are equivalent to working for the agent.
Agents pay to send those little kids to football schools, train them, and then use their connections to get those little players into clubs.
In fact, players and agents also use each other.If there is no agent, these young players have to take part in the public examinations held by various clubs by themselves, and compete with hundreds of people for single-digit places. The competition is very fierce.
And if he has an agent with great powers, he can join the team directly without having to compete like this.
Of course, the cost of joining the team will also be counted on the players. After the players start to make money, the money brokers will ask the players back even the principal and interest.
This is how Godot went to Corinthians with glory. Godot has something to do with Corinthians, so his players can fit in.In the end, he didn't expect that the Corinthians club changed people, and Gordo's relationship was gone, so he had to go around for trial training with glory.
After La Maria signed Lucas, it didn't take long to directly operate Lucas into the Sao Paulo Junior Team.
Then... I didn't care much about him.
Because Lucas did not show particularly outstanding talent and potential in Sao Paulo, it is naturally impossible for La Maria to look at him more.
Since you don't make much money from Lucas, why spend all your energy on him?A capitalist is not a philanthropist, and will not do business at a loss.
In this way, Lucas was thrown by La Maria in the various echelons of Sao Paulo to fend for himself.
But Lucas has not realized this yet, but continues to dream of his own dream, all of which are the future drawn by Ramaria for him.
In this future, I will become a well-respected and popular famous football star, earn a lot of money, live in a villa, drive a luxury sports car, be surrounded by beautiful women, and sleep every day without repeating the same...
For this reason, he has been training hard in the Sao Paulo Junior Team.
"So, you also have time to train seriously?" Rong Guang asked curiously.
Lucas, who was interrupted, rolled his eyes: "Who hasn't been stupid?"
"Okay, then when did you realize that you were cheated by your agent?" Rong Guang asked.
"On my sixteenth birthday," Lucas replied.
"Why was that time?" Rong Guang wondered.
"Because the day when La Maria told me to become a big star was when I was 16 years old! That... liar!"
Hearing Lucas gritted his teeth and complained, Rong Guang and Deborah looked at each other in a tacit understanding.
I really don't know whether to say Lucas is naive or stupid...
Later, when Lucas realized that with his talent and ability, it was impossible to become the kind of big star La Maria said in Brazil, he began to give up on himself, and his training was not serious.
I have been hanging around in the youth team until I met Rong Guang...
Even if he was selected into the first team of Sao Paulo, and replaced the injured Fabiano as the starting center forward, he also won the Brazilian National Championship, the Copa Libertadores, and the Sao Paulo State Championship...
Lucas is still not favored by La Maria
He was completely disappointed in La Maria.
La Maria won't take another look at herself. At this time, La Maria has joined Figel's agent company and has dozens of players under him. Two-thirds of them are more famous than Lucas, stronger than Lucas, and earn more than Lucas.
They are the cash cows that Ramaria relies on.
"When he signed with me, he signed a ten-year long contract. In these ten years, I will share [-]% of all my income with him..."
"Isn't the manager's commission 5.00%?" Rong Guang looked at Deborah strangely.
"At Lucas's age at that time, the agent smoked as much as he said. If only [-]% was smoked, the agent was kind." Deborah explained.
"Uh, then you are a model of law-abiding..." Rong Guang said.
"Of course, I didn't even think about tax evasion." Deborah shot back blankly.
The two had a habitual bickering.
Lucas laughed when he saw this scene next to him.
He was really envious of Rong Guang, who had such a manager.
If La Maria could be like himself, he wouldn't want to change his agent...
Because in fact, he is a very troublesome person.
"Our contract will expire next year. It may be that he has seen my recent performance in Bayern Munich, so he wants to re-sign me with a contract." Lucas finally said.
"If you can't wait until next year, you can terminate the contract with him directly. Is there any instruction on termination in your contract?" Deborah asked.
"I remember there were."
Deborah nodded: "That's easy. Give him a sum of money, and the contract will be automatically voided. If he doesn't agree..."
Deborah noticed that Rong Guang seemed to want to say something, she guessed what Rong Guang wanted to say, and said it directly.
"If he doesn't agree, then take him directly to court. The agent contract he signed with you should not be recognized by FIFA or protected by law. As long as he goes to court, he will definitely lose. I believe that if he is smart, he should choose to take a sum of money and quit your career."
Deborah analyzed for Lucas.
For South American agents, it is very common for players to change agents.
So they will definitely have a set of rules for how to terminate the contract.
Generally speaking, it is enough to give some money, and there is no need to go through a lot of trouble.
Because many South American players will kick out their original agents after successfully transferring to Europe, and then choose to let their family members or relatives act as agents, so that they don’t have to give the share to others.
For example, after Kaka came to AC Milan, he changed his agent.Now his agent is his engineer father.
An engineer father, not a lawyer, can he act like a broker?Does he have the agent qualification issued by FIFA?
of course not.
But it doesn't matter, everyone knows what's going on, this is the "hidden rule" of football.
No one would trouble Kaka with this matter.

After discussing how to terminate the contract, Deborah and Lucas discussed their cooperation.
After Lucas and his current agent Ramaria terminate the contract, he will sign a two-year agent contract with Deborah.
The reason why she didn't sign for a long time is because it's not clear whether Deborah will continue to be an agent after two years.
Deborah told Lucas her plan very frankly, with nothing to hide.
This is of course to allow the two parties to cooperate better.
However, when Lucas heard the news, he sighed in his heart, feeling a little pity for Rong Guang.
It seems that this beautiful manager still doesn't intend to stay...
Lucas is fine with the two-year deadline.
Deborah also assured Lucas that no matter what she thinks about in the future, she will make arrangements for Lucas before leaving and promise to find him a better agent.She has been in the agent circle for a long time now, and she has also met many famous agents, and established her own network of contacts and resources.
Deborah also guarantees that Lucas will bring no less than 200 million euros in pre-tax endorsement income within the first year.
This can be regarded as guaranteeing the rights and interests of Lucas.
Lucas couldn't be more satisfied with the result.
In fact, without these guarantees, he was willing to choose Deborah.
He believed in Deborah because he believed in glory.
As his good friend, Rong Guang would never cheat himself.
Finally, he took the initiative to raise his glass and took the lead in toasting.
Meanwhile, Rong Guang and Deborah raised their juices and held glasses with Lucas.
"Happy cooperation!"
"Pleasant to work with."
