Fortunately, Bill Elliott carried the contract for signing with him, and they could reach the contract on the spot without delaying another day. Chu Zhongtian entrusted Bill Elliott to be his temporary agent, fully responsible for negotiations with all clubs that are interested in him.

The reason why there is no limit is the negotiations with Chelsea because considering that if a third party like Metz will emerge in the next few days, if their conditions are more attractive than Chelsea, then Chu Zhongtian does not need to hold the Chelsea tree to death.

Generally speaking, the agency contract between the agent and the principal cannot be valid for more than two years. However, since Elliot is here to help, he usually has to manage other players under his name, so the two sign a one-time agency contract - Elliot is only responsible for this negotiation. Once Chu Zhongtian reaches an agreement with the opponent's club, the agency contract between Elliot and Chu Zhongtian will be automatically terminated after the signing. At that time, Chu Zhongtian has to find another agent to be responsible for his various signing, negotiation and commercial development matters for a long time. These things are still too far away for Chu Zhongtian, and he will not think about it for the time being.

As a reward for Mr. Elliot, Chu Zhongtian gave Elliot fifteen percent of the signing fee, but he didn't have to draw five percent of the weekly salary to the other party, because their cooperation was one-time, and after the contract was terminated, he had nothing to do with Elliot.

Because it only involved this cooperation, the negotiations went smoothly. In addition, James Merry was making suggestions, and the two sides quickly agreed on the details of the contract.

Seeing Chu Zhongtian discussing a contract with Elliot, the others in the bar lowered their voices, fearing that they would disturb them. Old Bente leaned closer to John: "Chu looks more and more like a professional player."

They all heard that Chu Zhongtian was leaving Wimbledon Athletic and leaving the Wimbledon Bar. As Boss John said, no one expressed anger or confusion about his departure. Everyone was very supportive, but they were just reluctant to let it go.

When Chu Zhongtian and Elliot signed their names on the contract, Boss John personally poured three glasses of beer and sent it over.

"How can I not have alcohol at this time?" he smiled at the three of them. "To celebrate your signing, I will treat you!"

"Oh, Boss John, you are so generous!" James Merry picked up the wine and raised his glass to Boss John.

"Thank you." Bill Elliott also expressed his gratitude to Boss John.

The three of them raised their cups and wanted to drink, but they were stopped by Boss John: "Wait." He took out a small digital camera from behind. "I think this is a historic moment. I have to take a photo as a souvenir, haha!"

He pressed the shutter and the flash flashed by. Chu Zhongtian suddenly felt that he was already in a press conference. What he had just signed was not the agency contract, but the free agency contract with Chelsea.

※※After the agent was settled, Chu Zhongtian and Newton called and expressed their willingness to discuss the specific personal contract with Chelsea. However, it was not his talk in person, but his agent Bill Elliott went to discuss with Chelsea.

He didn't care about the specific matters. Anyway, he had already told Elliot about the treatment conditions he could accept, and Elliot came to discuss everything, and then told Chu Zhongtian the details and left it to him to make the final decision.

At other times, Chu Zhongtian continued his life - working and playing football. Because he didn't plan to go to school, the "study" item was deleted from his life. After school started, he went to go to school to withdraw.

Elliot began negotiations with Chelsea, and Chu Zhongtian wanted to tell Wimbledon's head coach Terry Eames. He would not say it for the time being, and would say goodbye to them after the news was confirmed, but the head coach still had to inform them in advance.

Eames was not surprised to hear what Chelsea team Chu Zhongtian was interested in.

"I knew there would be such a day, Chu. This day will definitely come from the beginning when you defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Your performance will definitely attract the attention of professional teams, but I was a little surprised that Chelsea is optimistic about you so much... I thought it would be some mid- and lower-level Premier League teams..." Eames said, touching his chin.

"A team like Chelsea... is not easy to mess with, Chu. The competition is really too fierce..."

"I know, boss. They said they could rent me out for exercise first."

"I'm talking about what you come back after you've received your training. I heard that Ranieri is interested in you, but he knows whether he is still in the club when you come back, and who is the new head coach and whether he likes you is unknown. You know that clubs like Chelsea will not give their own new players too many opportunities. They prefer to throw checks to buy famous stars. The people who compete with you are not young boys from the reserve and youth teams, but stars worth tens of millions of pounds. Can you do it, Chu?"

"No one knows if you don't try it, boss."

"You are full of confidence now, ha!" Eames smiled when he heard Chu Zhongtian's answer with such confidence. "I hope Chelsea will not lose you. I have seen many young people with a future that will join the giants too early and eventually get lost there. I hope you won't be one of them."

"But congratulations." He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian held the hand handed by the boss.

"I have a piece of advice, Chu. If you come back after training outside for a few years and find that Chelsea cannot give you a stable position on the court, don't stay there. No matter how generous the contract they offer you, don't stay there and waste time. The most important thing for players is not how much money they can make every week, but how to play every week. At that time, find a team that can give you a stable chance of playing, even if they are weak or even have a low level, it doesn't matter. Only when you have the chance to play can you continue to improve, and when you improve, you will naturally have more opportunities for you to choose."

Chu Zhongtian nodded and thanked the boss for his advice.

"I have nothing to say about the rest... Oh yes, I know Chelsea can't give our club a one-pence transfer fee. Your biggest attraction to them is 'free'. But when signing a contract with them, can they ask them to provide some training equipment to Wimbledon and arrange a warm-up match at Stamford Bridge next summer?"

There is such a "unspoken rule" in the amateur league in England: even if a player who has signed a contract with a club, as long as there are professional league teams who want to buy people, the player can leave at any time, and there is generally no transfer fee.

So it would not work for Wimbledon to get "training fees" from Chu Zhongtian. However, it is reasonable to ask for a warm-up match.

After hearing the boss's request, Chu Zhongtian nodded and agreed. This was the last thing he could do for Wimbledon's Athletics. How could he refuse?

After receiving Chu Zhongtian's reply, Eames finally smiled. "I hope you don't affect your performance at Wimbledon because of this incident. You should know that if you perform poorly here, maybe Chelsea will change their mind temporarily?"

"I will always be consistent, boss. Until this season, I'm still a Wimbledon player."

Eames patted his shoulder: "Where you go, do it well, Chu. You should know that you are the person who best represents the spirit of 'crazy gang' and is a person I like. I hope you can become a big star, which at least proves that my vision is fine, haha!"

Although Chu Zhongtian did not tell his teammates, the team's players still vaguely felt that Chu Zhongtian might leave them. After all, scouts from various Premier League clubs frequently came to Chu Zhongtian these days. As long as their IQ is normal, they would not believe that Chu Zhongtian could continue to stay in an amateur team.

But they didn't know where Chu Zhongtian would go in the end.

"Hey, Chu. Want to listen to my advice? Chelsea is a good place!" Joe Xilin came out of the Chelsea youth team and had a special feeling for Chelsea. After training, he hugged Chu Zhongtian's neck and said.

"Don't listen to him. Since Chu Chelsea came to the Russians, they have been buying stars everywhere. You won't have a place wherever you go!" Gavin Borger retorted. "I think it's good to go to Arsenal! The 'Professor' (Wenger) is a head coach who is very good at coaching young players. If you go there, I guarantee your level will be improved rapidly!"

"Stop teasing, blog." Seeing that someone dared to object to his opinion, Xilin said angrily, "A place like Arsenal is not suitable for us Chu at all! Their competition does not require Chelsea to be fierce at all. And they also have the French pervert Vieira! At least Chelsea does not have a good midfielder yet. Petit is old, Gremy cannot... Chu will definitely have a chance to play when he goes!"

They argued that they completely ignored Chu Zhongtian's labor certificate issue, or they didn't think that the labor certificate was a problem in their minds... "Why can't Chelsea rent Chu back to us?" someone asked.

"Don't be stupid." Two people who were arguing glared at the person asking the question at the same time. "We are amateur teams, and we play in amateur league. If Chu plays for a season in such an environment, it will not help him joining a professional team because he will not improve at all!"

"It sounds so sad..." the man muttered, and the sentence meant "We are so low that we can't help Chu, it's so sad."

Facing these enthusiastic teammates, Chu Zhongtian really didn't know what to say. He thanked them, but he still had to leave. Leaving here will give him better development, but he will remember these people. No matter what they are doing in the future, one thing will not change - they will always be their friends.

Qiao Xilin slapped Chu Zhongtian hard on the back: "I tell you, Chu. If you become famous in the future, I will go to find you. You can't pretend not to know me!"

Chu Zhongtian smiled and said, "Where can it be? You are my friends, you will be for the rest of your life."

※※※Elliot and Chelsea are still going well, and Chu Zhongtian added that he hopes that Chelsea can hold a warm-up match with Wimbledon next summer, at Stamford Bridge, and the requirements for Chelsea Club to provide Wimbledon Athletic Club with some training balls and training suits.

These are not a problem for the wealthy Chelsea club.

The person in charge of talking to Elliot is Chelsea reserve coach Steve Clarke (steve_clarke). The first team coach does not come forward because Chu Zhongtian will not become a member of the first team after joining the team, and it is not worth paying too much attention to him.

If he has a labor certificate, the reserve team will start at Chelsea. Unfortunately, he has not, and he can't even stay in the reserve team. In order to maintain his condition and receive high-level training as soon as possible, the Chelsea coaching staff has decided to find him a loan immediately once he signs Chu Zhongtian. The English clubs are not good. They have set their sights on the leagues of other countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands and France.

Elliott reports to his client every day about the negotiation progress and is a very dedicated agent.

After three days of hard work, he obtained a reserve contract for Chu Zhongtian with a salary of 900 pounds per week and a weekly salary increase of 10% every year. In the reserve team, his weekly salary is not high, but it is definitely not low. Anyway, he can support himself by relying solely on his salary, even in a place like London with high consumption.

Chu Zhongtian saved up his life in a week and did not have the problem of spending money. These nine hundred pounds were enough for his weekly life and had a balance. He planned to save all the remaining money and make some investments when he accumulates more in the future. In fact, when he was working while studying, the income from working every week was added up to minus the necessary expenses for daily life, and he deposited all of this money in his bank account.

A week is nine hundred, a week is 3,600 pounds per week, and a year is 43,200 pounds. In the UK, people with personal income between 1,500 and 35,000 pounds are required to pay 20% personal income tax, and 11% annual medical insurance costs, and the income above 35,000 pounds is required to pay 40% income tax.

After deducting these income taxes and medical insurance costs, he was actually able to earn 28,168 pounds in the first year. This is not a high income in the UK, but you should know that the income of professional players is very fluctuating. If he can perform well on loan, he can have the conditions to attract various sponsors, and even renegotiate contracts with the club, requiring higher weekly salaries and bonuses. In addition, he was loaned out. Although the weekly salaries are provided by Chelsea, the club that rents him will also pay him the appearance fee and various bonuses. Those are quite a lot of income.

If he honestly finished college and returned to China to find a job, assuming he was looking for a job in Chengdu, considering his academic qualifications, it would be great to be able to find a job with a monthly income of 2,500 yuan in the first year of graduation, which is 30,000 yuan a year, and even less after deducting taxes. Now Chu Zhongtian's income is converted into nearly 300,000 yuan. In Chengdu, he is already considered a high-income class.

So Chu Zhongtian was very satisfied with the weekly salary of 900 pounds. He also knew that he had not made any contribution to the team yet. He was unknown and demanded a high income was not suitable, and it would only cause disgust.

Because he could not play for Chelsea, some benefits such as appearance fees, goal awards, assist awards and other benefits were not included in the contract. In addition, he also received a signing fee of 10,000 pounds at one time after signing. In addition to the 1,500 pounds he received, he himself received 8,500 pounds.

The contract period is four years. This represents Chelsea's patience. If Chu Zhongtian still cannot meet the team's requirements in four years, he will be abandoned by Chelsea. As for where he will play football at that time, it is not what to worry about now.

What Chu Zhongtian has to do is to work hard to improve himself during these four years so that he can reach the level needed by Chelsea clubs, and at the same time join the national team and obtain a labor certificate. The only way to obtain a labor certificate is to change nationality or join the Chinese national team.

Chu Zhongtian would definitely not consider changing his nationality. He likes to be a Chinese citizen and does not plan to change his identity.

There is one national team left...even if he wants to go, will the national team want him?

I don’t think about it anymore. There are still four years left. Let’s work hard to play football in these four years. Anyway, who can explain the future clearly? Who knows what it will look like in four years? Maybe even the labor certificate will be cancelled by then, ha!

The contract was finally finalized, with a weekly salary of 900 pounds and a period of four years.

Bill Elliott called the Wimbledon Bar to find Chu Zhongtian.

"The contract is agreed, Chu."

This sentence made Chu Zhongtian breathe a sigh of relief - it was finally over. He was about to become a member of Chelsea, although he was just an extra-staff member... "Thank you, Mr. Elliott, come to the bar, I'll invite you to drink."

"Haha! I won't need to drink. I'll pick you up the morning after tomorrow. We'll go to Stamford Bridge to sign. This matter will be completely over." Elliott on the other end of the phone smiled, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he fulfilled his mission and did what his friend Abel asked for.

After hanging up the phone, the others in the bar who had been waiting for the news were looking at Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian could see his expectations and blessings for him in their eyes.

He smiled at everyone and said, "I'll sign the contract the day after tomorrow."

"yes!!" Jackson clenched his fists and screamed.

"Haha, congratulations, Chu! You will be a member of Chelsea from next season!"

"You are the first player trained by Wimbledon Athletics to join the Premier League team. Chu, do it well and don't embarrass us on the 'crazy gang'!"

"When did Chu disappoint us when did you say this?"

"Aha! Two stars of tomorrow came out of our Wimbledon bar, which is so gratifying!" Old Bente was also very happy.

Boss John stood up at the right time: "To celebrate Chu's signing with Chelsea, I would like to invite everyone here to have a drink!"

"Ohhhh! Colin, you are so nice!"

"That's why I only come to Wimbledon Bars - there's a good understanding boss here, haha!"

Next, each person had a glass of beer. They stood up from their seats, picked up the wine glass in their hands, and raised it to Chu Zhongtian.

"I wish you good luck at Chelsea, Chu!"

"Where do you go, I wish you good luck, Chu!"

"Let's have this drink-"

"cheers!!!"
