Chapter 102: One look = million

The contract that Manager Yanyu signed with Dai Yanqi was a letter of intent.

What is a letter of intent? It is a general term without clear specific terms.

The remuneration offered in this letter of intent is still very generous.

While other clubs were contacting players to discuss whether they could take a pay cut, Yanyu generously doubled Dai Yanqi's salary.

The rest include commercial endorsement revenue sharing, packaging plans, etc., all of which seem to be attractive.

If it were the Dai Yanqi of the past, she might have been so elated that she signed in a daze.

But this time, with Xiao Shiqin's special reminder, Dai Yanqi was careful, forced herself to stay calm, and read the contract line by line.

When I saw this, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

In a very inconspicuous corner of the contract, it was marked in very low-key small words:

If one party to a contract actively violates the contract, then it will have to pay liquidated damages.

This is not surprising, as any contract basically has similar clauses.

But the question is, the amount of liquidated damages:

Six million.

Dai Yanqi spent a year in the youth training camp and played professionally for another year.

But even if the salary of the current contract is added, it is still less than half of the six million.

No, I just signed a letter of intent, and there is no formal contract.

Basically, even if you come to Yanyu to take a look, you have to pay a penalty of six million?
Dai Yanqi began to tremble all over.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the manager with a pale face: "Manager, the penalty for breach of contract in this contract——"

Manager Yanyu's expression began to change when Dai Yanqi began to read the contract carefully line by line.

Shouldn't young people of this age find it troublesome and sign the contract without reading it carefully?

Obviously before——

However, since Yanyu was able to offer this contract, he must have already thought of the corresponding excuses.

"Xiao Dai, don't be nervous. Things are not what you think!" The manager remained calm and still had a smile on his face.

"First of all, this contract is a contract of intent."

"Since the terms are not yet clear and our contract has not been finalized, it has no legal effect."

"So as long as we don't sign a formal contract, then even if we have disagreements in the future and the contract falls through, as long as we don't sign the main contract, we can't restrict you!"

After hearing the manager's explanation, which was somewhat reasonable, Dai Yanqi's frightened heart calmed down a little, and she asked boldly:

"In that case, why do you set such a high penalty?"

When Manager Yanyu heard this, he was secretly delighted and took the bait.

He immediately showed a bitter look on his face and sighed: "Regarding this, we are also helpless."

"Yunxiu's sudden retirement announcement was a huge blow to the club."

"The opportunities I fought so hard for were lost because of this retirement."

"After this lesson, we have to be more cautious when giving out contracts."

"The reason why the penalty is relatively high is not to harm the players. It's just that we hope that the players can be calmer when making some decisions, and at least communicate with the management first."

"Everything can be discussed. If you suddenly leave, we will be in a passive position." It can only be said that Dai Yanqi is still too naive. After hearing Yanyu's explanation, it seemed to be true. The doubt and fear subsided little by little.

The manager was overjoyed and immediately continued to act generous: "It's okay! If Xiao Dai has any doubts, we are not in a hurry. It's okay to sign later!"

"Let's continue to adapt in the club first!"

In the manager's eyes, Dai Yanqi is just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child.

I have zero social experience and no agent of my own.
As long as we can keep her stable, then the rest will be easy to handle, right?
However, the manager overlooked one thing.

If Dai Yanqi really had no ability to distinguish, how could she have the patience to read the contract and eventually find out something was wrong?
Dai Yanqi herself may not be very capable, but she has an external brain, Xiao Shiqin!

If you are in doubt, just ask the captain!
So, Xiao Shiqin received a call from Dai Yanqi, and when he heard her explain the situation, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Xiao Dai, don't say anything, don't ask anything, pack up your things and leave quickly, and come back to Lei Ting."

"No matter what those bastards from Yanyu tell you, don't sign that contract!" Xiao Shiqin was really furious this time, and couldn't even control himself, and started scolding Yanyu's management.

"Captain, what's the problem with that contract?" Dai Yanqi naturally listened to the captain, but curiosity still drove her to ask.

As the team captain, Xiao Shiqin could naturally see the ins and outs of this contract.

But it was also because of this that he was shocked by Yanyu's cruelty.

"Yes, a letter of intent is not binding in most cases, but the problem is that if you want to cancel the contract, you need to report it to the league."

"Not to mention that the alliance has lost a large number of management personnel now, even in the past, it would take a long time to deal with such matters."

"If Yanyu is willing to drag it out and buy time with you, we can even extend this processing period to two or three years!"

"And during this period, you cannot play for other teams. It's no different from being banned for two years!"

The thing Xiao Shiqin was most grateful for now was that he had reminded Xiao Dai in advance, so that she would be more careful when signing the contract.

Finally, the child was prevented from stepping into the fire pit.

"So, you should come back as soon as possible. Yanyu is not much better than the Wolf's Den. Go back to Thunder. I will go and persuade the management."

Xiao Shiqin couldn't help but advise like an old lady.

Dai Yanqi was naturally obedient, but she still couldn't control her mouth.

"Captain, are all Yanyu's contracts so perverted?"

Xiao Shiqin thought about it carefully and thought that it was not the case: "From what the manager said, Yanyu must have thought of changing the contract after suffering a loss from Chu Yunxiu."

"The veteran players from Yanyu should have completed their contract renewals before that."

"In theory, you might be the first one to enjoy this enhanced contract."

Xiao Shiqin made a small joke as a small comfort to Dai Yanqi who was still in shock.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Dai Yanqi not only did not relax, but fell into silence.

"Xiao Dai? What's wrong?" Xiao Shiqin felt something was wrong.

After a while, Dai Yanqi's voice came from the other end of the phone, filled with a certain complex feeling.

"Captain, I should not be the first to sign this contract."

"Here is a kid who is less than fourteen years old. His name is Lu Hanwen. He was sent here by Blue Rain Youth Training."

"He...maybe he is the biggest victim of this contract."
