As usual, he only had a backpack and a bottle of water. It was already the fourth day that Lin Hong was running around with the ball.

Every day when he was aiming at Nico Robin in Guilaoshan Park, Lin Hong hoped that the young lady's voice could be heard behind him, but it was a pity that she never appeared again after that day. If it weren't for the "Ghost Head" embroidered on his backpack,

Lin Hong almost suspected that everything that day was just a dream.

The ignorant love of young people seems to be over before it even begins.

After the training, Lin Hong returned to the club a little disappointed. When his teammates greeted him, they saw that Lin Hong was not in high spirits.

Fortunately, the chef's skills in the restaurant were as good as ever. Except for natto and seaweed, Lin Hong liked everything else. After finishing breakfast for six people by himself, Lin Hong was called to Takeshi Okada's office.

Lin Hong felt a little excited. It had been almost 20 days since he came to Japan, and he finally arrived today.

In fact, Lin Hong knew that he should have passed the trial training as soon as the training match ended. He was very confident that Imabari FC would sign him. As for why he waited until now to discuss the contract, Lin Hong didn't know, but he

Understand that as long as you become better and better, the price will be higher in negotiations.

Lin Hong came to Okada Takeshi's office for the first time. The decoration style cannot be said to be simple, it can only be said to be crude. He visually inspected the yellow air deflector on the Hitachi air conditioner that must have been at least 15 years old. The desk

It's also old, and the wooden floor has a patina-like feel.

Think about the fresh and healthy ingredients in the club restaurant, think about the brand-new training equipment in the gym, think about the newly replaced natural turf on the court, and think about the big bosses in the country, Lin Hong suddenly has Okada Takeshi in Japan.

The football craftsmen are extremely envious.

"Lin Hong, actually I should have talked to you a few days ago, but I haven't waited for a reply from the Japan Football Association, so I delayed it until now."

Lin Hong was baffled by Takeshi Okada's words. He didn't expect that a trial player like him would be associated with the Japan Football Association.

"I don't understand Mr. Okada!"

Takeshi Okada: “Do you know the legal age of majority in Japan?”

Lin Hong: "20 years old, I heard my teammates talk about it."

Takeshi Okada: "Yes, the legal age of majority in Japan is 20 years old, but in China you are an adult when you are 18 years old. What a coincidence, you are just over 18 years old now."

Lin Hong: "I still don't understand, what's the difference?"

Takeshi Okada: "There is a difference, and the difference is very big. Japan's labor law stipulates that it is illegal to employ minors below high school to work, and the crime of employing child labor is very serious.

The ones who came with you are on loan and their contracts are signed with the Hulk Club, so they are different."

Lin Hong was confused after listening to Takeshi Okada's introduction, "But the sports school I attended in China was also a technical technical school with the qualification to run a school, which is the same level as high school."

Takeshi Okada: "No, I'm sorry to tell you that the Japanese Education Department does not recognize China's technical secondary school education. You have no high school experience in China, which means that before you reach the age of twenty, you cannot join any club in Japan.

Sign a professional contract with you."

Lin Hong was dumbfounded when he heard this. What kind of fucking legal regulations are there? Isn't football as physical as moving bricks? How come he, who is almost 19 years old, needs a high school diploma to even move bricks?

Now is not the time to complain about Japanese laws. Since Okada Takeshi handed himself over to the office and just mentioned the Japan Football Association, there must be a solution.

“So what do I have to do to sign a professional contract?”

Takeshi Okada is very satisfied with Lin Hong's composure, which will allow him to go further on the court.

"Currently, there are only three ways. The first is to wait until you are twenty years old before we sign the contract. Before that, you can only play in the amateur league. We just happened to play in the JFC this year, which is the amateur league. But the problem is to wait until

Even if we upgrade to J3 next year, you will still be underage in the first half of the season, we cannot register you, and you will miss half the season before next summer's transfer window."

Lin Hong: "This won't work. I need to compete now to improve myself."

This plan definitely won't work. Lin Hong would rather go back to China than wait in Japan. He still doesn't believe that he can't be kicked out even though he has the support of the system.

Takeshi Okada: "Don't worry, you are in a period of rapid growth now, and we don't want to choose this option. The second option is that we will apply for Japanese high school admissions for you. As long as you enroll, you can sign a professional contract in the name of work-study.

, you can apply to take a leave of absence from school after one school year to concentrate on playing football. Personally, I prefer this plan, it is highly feasible, and it will not affect your ability to play in the professional league next season."

Takeshi Okada is indeed right. Daisuke Yoshii, a pretentious criminal, has now signed a professional contract and is preparing to take a leave of absence from school next season to concentrate on playing in the professional league.

But Lin Hong didn't want to. He didn't like to learn. It would be nonsense if he still wanted to go to school after arriving in Japan.

And the most important point is that it is said that the current Japanese textbooks have been changed beyond recognition. He can't guarantee whether he will burn the books as soon as he gets them, or simply have a fight with the history teacher, rather than being punished for beating the teacher.

Expelled, it would be better not to go to this ghost high school in the first place.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Okada. It is impossible for me to go to high school. I think you should know the reason. I hope you can understand!"

There was a fierce quarrel between China and Japan over the textbook incident. Takeshi Okada naturally saw the overwhelming debate in the news and on the Internet, so he could only sigh about Lin Hong's choice.

"Okay, we respect your choice. Then it seems that the only option is the third option. Although you are a minor according to Japanese law, you can sign a reserve player contract with us."

The youth training of Japanese football is excellent. There are leagues between schools at all levels. Many outstanding players stand out in such school team competitions.

Because the players in the school-level league are young and scattered, they usually choose clubs closer to their hometowns to receive professional training. However, because they are underage and have not reached high school, the club has no contractual restrictions on them. They will wait until they graduate from junior high school.

When you enter high school, big clubs that have long been eyeing young players will start poaching them. Whether it is young players or parents, it is difficult to refuse the conditions offered by big clubs.

As a result, small clubs often spend a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but in the end they are picked up by the big clubs.

The Japanese Football Association later realized that continuing like this would not only damage the interests of small clubs, but also be detrimental to the development of Japanese football youth training. Therefore, after several years of negotiations with the Japanese Education Agency, the Japanese Football Association finally issued a 'preparatory player contract'.

It is designed to protect small clubs from forcibly poaching outstanding young players from big clubs.

Moreover, young players who are in the reserve player contract period can be recruited as reserve players of the club and can play all games for the club, including professional leagues.

Lin Hong: "Then what is the difference between this 'preparatory player contract' and a professional player contract?"

Takeshi Okada: "There is a big difference, and the most important ones are two points. The first is the contract period. In order to protect the interests of young players to the greatest extent, the maximum contract period for reserve player contracts is three years.

Another point is the salary package. To be honest, it is not considered a salary, it can only be regarded as a nutritional subsidy. The reserve player contract has strict regulations on the subsidy for young players of all ages, and it is strictly forbidden to sign a Yin-Yang contract, otherwise once it is found out, it will be

Very serious. Naturally, you can get the maximum subsidy due to your age, but it is only 30,000 yen per week.

To be honest, we are very optimistic about your potential. The three-year contract period is too short for us, and it will definitely not decrease. Of course, as long as you wait until you are 20 years old, we can convert the reserve player contract into a professional contract.

Your salary will also be greatly improved."

Lin Hong has given up on the length of the contract. A player's first contract will basically not have a short-term contract. The club is not a fool, especially the promising players who will not let go easily.

But the weekly salary of 30,000 yen, no, it is a subsidy. Lin Hongmo calculated that the exchange rate is less than 1,900 yuan, which is a little more than 7,500 yuan a month. This money may be decent in China, but here is Japan, the average salary is 20,000, and the price

Japan is so tall that it’s scary.

At the beginning of his career, Lin Hong could accept the reality of a low salary, but he did not accept paid money to play football. This had nothing to do with dreams or anything else.

"Mr. Okada, I cannot accept this so-called subsidy!"

Since this is a contract negotiation, Lin Hong must put forward his demands. This is related to his career plan for the next two to three years, so naturally he cannot be vague.

Hearing this, Takeshi Okada took another high look at Lin Hong. As a young player without an agent, facing the first contract in his career, Lin Hong did not appear anxious or panicked, and was able to hold on to the bottom line he wanted.

And he defended it very resolutely, which is not an easy task.

"Of course, we also know that this is too low, so we are thinking of subsidizing you in another way, and that is bonuses."

Lin Hong: "Bonus?"

Takeshi Okada: "Yes, it's the bonus. There are 18 teams in the JFL League. There are 34 games in a season in a double cycle of home and away games. In addition, there is at least one Ehime Prefecture qualifier for the Emperor's Cup. There are at least 35 official games throughout the year.

During the game, you can get 3,000 yen as long as you play, 20,000 yen for every goal scored, 10,000 yen for every assist, and a reward of 1 million yen for helping the club upgrade. If the club wins the championship, there will be another 500,000 yen.

The amount of these bonuses is indeed not high, let alone compared to Europe, even the Chinese Super League is much higher than this, but you have to understand that the salaries and bonuses of Japanese clubs are not high in the first place, and we are not playing in a professional league yet

, the bonus issued to you is already considered a high level in the JFL League."

A string of numbers were reported, and Lin Hong subconsciously converted them into RMB. The appearance fee was 180 yuan, the goal bonus was 1,200 yuan, the assists were 600 yuan, the upgrade bonus was 60,000 yuan, and the championship bonus was 30,000 yuan.

Lin Hong was making various calculations in his mind. He was calculating how many times he would play and how many goals he would score before he could enter and exit the club freely.

At present, it seems that as long as he is still in Japan, he will not be able to sign a professional contract elsewhere due to his situation. Lin Hong does not want to leave Japan for the time being because he feels that the progress brought to him here is unmatched in China, and he does not have it in Europe yet.

Any channel, obscene development in Japan is the safest choice.

Takeshi Okada's proposal is actually quite sincere. As long as Lin Hong maintains his attendance rate and scores one goal in three games, he can basically afford to drink the mineral water in the store.

If you can add an assist in three games, you can have a sticky bean bag while drinking mineral water!

If two games are a win, who would drink mineral water, dare to roll their arms when going out, and drink iced black tea with Oden!

If you average one goal per game, you can sit in an Internet cafe during the holidays and put Red Bull Huazi on the table!

As for the Red Romance and Bubble Bath, Lin Hong has never seen those things before, and he doesn't know how many goals he will score. It is probably hopeless if he doesn't play in the professional league.

Okay, now that we've reached this point, don't think about the dead wages that guarantee income during droughts and floods. It all depends on your ability whether you eat chaff, drink water, or roast chicken in beer.

Fight!

"Okay, I agree with this third option, and I also agree with the bonus amount you proposed, Mr. Okada, but I wonder if I can get a bonus if I can get personal honors?"

People are not frivolous and waste their youth. Since you have reached the point where you can only make money by bonuses, why don't you want to make two more sums? Didn't Master Xing say that if a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish!

"Personal honor?"

Takeshi Okada was proud to see Lin Hong agreeing to the plan, but he didn't expect that Lin Hong would have additional projects soon. He was really a difficult kid.

"Yes, I think you have ignored the possibility of my personal honors. For example, if I win the top scorer or the best player of the season in the JFL League this season, shouldn't the club reward me?"

Takeshi Okada really hadn't thought of this before. Maybe he subconsciously thought that Lin Hong couldn't do this, so he didn't think about it at all. But now that Lin Hong mentioned it, he still had to give a reply.

"Okay, if you can get the top scorer, the club will give you an additional reward of 1 million yen and the best player of the season 2 million yen. Do you think that's okay?"

The price offered by Takeshi Okada is already quite high, and this is because he does not believe that Lin Hong can do these two things.

Seeing Takeshi Okada readily agreeing to him, Lin Hong was also very happy, and he had found a good goal for himself. If he could do this, he wouldn't have to shy away from buying anything in Japan or back home.

In fact, there is one very key thing in the player contract that Lin Hong did not discuss, and that is the player's image rights.

However, Lin Hong is nothing now, not even a professional league, and his image rights are a joke. If you want to gain income from your image rights, then work hard and play hard. As long as you reach a certain level, you will cry and shout to renew your contract with Lin Hong.

, it is the club that wants to give Lin Hong a salary increase and give Lin Hong income from his image rights.
