I am the king of football

Chapter 23 Formal Signing
When McDermott got Qin Hu's information, it was too late. The person concerned was already sitting in the office of Hull City coach Bruce with his temporary agent Li Xiang who flew over from China again.

"This is the situation, Qin. I think you have the ability to play in the first team. This is the salary we offer you."

Due to the large number of signings this season, although the team's annual salary budget of 500 million pounds is considered high among all Championship teams, there is not much left for Bruce at the moment.

In addition to bringing Qin Hu and three others into the first team, he also has several young players from other clubs that he has his eyes on and needs to prepare salary space for.

"Boss Li, what's the standard of a weekly salary of 1000 pounds?"

"I've calculated it for you. The annual salary is 450,000, not including the goal bonus. If you can score 15 goals a season, you'll get a bonus of 270,000."

"So the treatment is okay?"

Qin Hu's voice was shaking. Before, when his monthly salary was over ten thousand, he didn't feel much, but now it's different. This year he will have an income of nearly half a million.

This is definitely a huge sum of money for Qin Hu, who grew up in an orphanage and started helping Boss Qin with accounting when he was a little older. You have to know that when the orphanage was in the most difficult time, the food expenses for the fifty people there were less than 300,000 yuan a year.

"No problem. The club offers you a salary based on the standard of substitute players. I think your salary is high in the Championship as a whole."

"it is good."

After chatting with Li Xiang for a few words and reconfirming the income of the contract he was about to sign, Qin Hu turned to look at Bruce.

He didn't know how the team's first-team coach noticed him, but the fact that the other party was able to offer this condition at this moment was obviously a sign of satisfaction with him. As long as he nodded, his real professional career would begin.

"I think it's no problem coach. It's an honor to serve under you."

"OK, sign it."

Bruce nodded, and the staff member in charge of signing placed the contract with the club director's name signed in front of him. Qin Hu picked up the pen and formally signed his name.

"This is just a basic contract. The club signs you for two years. Once you perform well this season or the team is promoted to the Premier League, there will be a bigger contract waiting for you, so don't complain about the current income being too little."

"Ok sir."

Bruce misunderstood the conversation between Qin Hu and Li Xiang as the other party complaining about too little salary. In fact, he was also a little guilty. An annual salary of 50,000 pounds might be considered a high salary for a Championship relegation team, but for Hull City it was indeed not too high compared to their salary budget.

This is mainly because Qin Hu, Coulson and the other two were promoted in the name of the team's youth training. As youth players, the team has invested in training them, so most of the players are at this level when they are first promoted.

As for the subsequent salary increase, it depends on whether they can stay in the first team. As long as they can stay, as children from the team's youth training, their salaries will sooner or later be raised to the level of players signed by other clubs waving checks.

"Pleasant to work with."

The contracts signed by both parties were collected by the staff. Bruce and Qin Hu stood up at the same time and shook hands intimately.

Since they were not star players and there were not many reporters present, the staff on the side took a group photo for them and that was it.

Afterwards, photos of Qin Hu, Coulson and Cooper signing the contract were posted on the homepage of the team's first team, and the fans knew that the club had promoted three players from the youth training this year.

"Qin really made it to the first team, haha, what a good guy, I remember he has only been in the U17 team for less than two months."

"Yes, much faster than Coulson and Cooper, but his quality is really worth it." "Indeed, the hat trick against Tottenham was so cool. I watched the highlights several times on the official website."

"I am looking forward to the team's performance in the new season~"

All the fans who have watched Qin Hu's games have no confusion. They even posted videos of some of Qin Hu's wonderful goals on social platforms to let fans who don't know this 17-year-old Chinese striker understand what kind of player the club has signed.

As for Qin Hu, he received his first month's salary on the day he successfully signed the contract. Starting today, he will move out of the dormitory of the club's youth training camp. The club has found a single-family apartment for him, but he will have to pay the rent himself.

Since Hull is not a big city and there are not many people living here, the detached apartment was larger than Qin Hu expected. It took him and Li Xiang half a day to clean it up.

"You are so promising. It hasn't been long since you called me over. Boss Qin is also very happy. He asked me to tell you that the government has allocated another sum of money. You don't have to worry about the welfare home. Save the money you have, in case you run into trouble outside and have no money in your pocket."

That night, Qin Hu and Li Xiang cooked a table of food in their apartment. They ate and talked. Li Xiang, whose face turned red after a few drinks, began to tell Qin Hu about the news of the welfare home.

"That's good."

"By the way, Lanlan asked you to send her an email when you have time, but the little girl is still very angry. I think she is resentful that you didn't send her any news when you went abroad. It's hard to deal with her~"

"what?"

When Qin Hu heard Li Xiang's gloating words, his mind was stunned, and a quirky but very reliable figure appeared in his mind.

Lin Lan, a girl who came to the welfare home a year later than Qin Hu, grew up with him. With the comings and goings of people in the welfare home, she is now the biggest sister in the welfare home besides Qin Hu.

Compared to Qin Hu, who only knows how to train every day, Lin Lan can be said to be extremely smart. She helps Boss Qin manage the welfare home on weekdays, and she was also admitted to the top local international high school with a full scholarship.

Qin Hu and Lin Lan have been very good playmates since childhood. It can be said that the two are true childhood sweethearts.

Every month, Qin Hu would visit her at school often after receiving his allowance. Today he would give her a chicken leg, and tomorrow she would give her a pig's trotter. The little girl, who had always had good food, had grown into a beautiful young lady.

As Boss Qin gradually grew older, the relationship between the two became closer and closer. When they were in China, almost every half month when the team had a holiday, Qin Hu would communicate with Lin Lan about each other's lives.

"It's broken. I forgot about Lanlan. International calls are too expensive, Litou. It's not my fault..."

"Hold on, your annual salary is not low now, this is not a good excuse."

"Woo..."

This is a worry unique to young boys and girls. Li Xiang laughed as he watched Qin Hu in worry. Both of them had a very happy night.

The next day, Li Xiang boarded the flight back to China again, and Qin Hu officially welcomed the first day of his first-team life.
