Chapter 104 The Broker (Part 1)

第104章经纪人(上)

“梅丽莎.你在里面吗?”

"Oh, mom, I said I want to rest. I don't want to go out, I don't want to move, I don't want to do anything."

“梅丽莎,我可以进来吗?”

"Come in, the door is not closed." Mei Niu couldn't persuade her mother and said with a sigh, and at the same time, she quickly pulled the quilt, buried herself in the quilt, and pretended to be asleep.

"Hi, my dear, why are you doing in the room?" A middle-aged beautiful woman walked in.

"Oh, mom, I'm very tired and just want to sleep. I don't want to go out."

"Did you forget it? Dear. Today your cousin and the others are coming, why don't you get up quickly?"

"Oh, God, I don't remember, Mom, why didn't you say it earlier? I can't let Elena see what I look like now. Hurry up, mom, where are my slippers?"

The beautiful woman sighed, looking doting, her daughter was twenty-seven years old, and she still had a temper like a child. She had never had a boyfriend yet when she got so old, so she couldn't help but worry about her daughter.

Seeing her daughter dressed in a hurry, the beautiful woman noticed the poster on the wall. She had never seen this poster before, "Who is this? A pretty good young man."

"A bastard!" Melissa Terrio said gritting his teeth.

"Is that right?" the beautiful woman asked with a smile. She had never seen a good-tempered daughter say a man in such a tone. Could this young man be her daughter's boyfriend? But she seems to be younger. No matter how many, the important thing is that her daughter seems to be in love.

Melissa Terrio didn't know that my mother was thinking about this, otherwise she would be furious.

Jorge Mendes stretched comfortably in a sea view room in the suburbs of Marseille. He came here for vacation. The winter transfer market has already started. He only has two days of vacation and will start working tomorrow. Mendes said to himself that his mind was like a computer, sorting out the information of the players in his hands.

This gentleman named Jorge Mendes is not an ordinary person. He has now become the most powerful agent in football. Since 2004, he has controlled the European football transfer market. His stars include Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco, Pepe, Mourinho, etc.

In the summer of 2004, with the help of Porto Porto's team winning the European Champions League, he sent several players and Mourinho to Chelsea. While replacing Porto with the largest income in history, he also completed the first explosion of his career. Since then, Mendes has become the strongest agent in Europe.

However, as for Mendes himself, his experience is indeed legendary. Mendes' father is a government official and his mother is a housewife. Mendes was a player when he was young and played as a left winger (perhaps this is why he prefers Cristiano Ronaldo). However, his talent on the court is far less than Cristiano Ronaldo, and playing for a Class C club most of his time shows everything.

But in his time as a player, Mendes had already revealed his business acumen. He had contracted the advertising rights for the exterior wall of the stadium and opened a football video rental store. In fact, Mendes's current giant company started with the original video store.

"The rental and sale of football videos made me know the information of players all over the world and also made me understand the meaning of portrait rights." Mendes recalled in an interview with the media, "I transferred that video store not long ago and earned tens of thousands of euros."

Mendes' office walls are hung with various jerseys, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe and Mourinho, and even Barcelona players Deco and Marcos. Looking at the jerseys of these superstars, this agent will feel very accomplished.

"Mendes is a very smart businessman and a workaholic," said Barcelona chairman Laporta.

Atletico Madrid general manager Hill also said: "He is not the type of agent who will no longer care about him if he sells a player. What he cares most about is not commissions, but the balance between players, agents and the two clubs. The players he recommends are all very good. Some players are unknown at the beginning, but as long as it is his recommendation, it is trustworthy. It is very important to maintain a good relationship with an agent with rich resources like him."

※※※※※※※※※※

We have said so much, just to express one meaning, this is a big shot, a big shot in the football circle.

At this moment, the big man turned on the TV and changed to French National Channel 6. He was talking about what happened after the winter transfer window was opened.

On TV, Monaco's forward player Adebayo's transfer script officially kicked off.

In fact, what ordinary people in front of the TV did not know was that Arsenal's chief scout Steve Lovelli sneaked to France and meet Adebayo secretly a few days ago under the arrangement of Adebayo's agent. During the talks, the two sides increased their understanding and concluded a mutually beneficial alliance. Steve Lovelli hoped that Adebayo would put pressure on the Monaco club to force them to accept Arsenal's offer. Steve Lovelli was worried that other clubs would come and compete with him for their own people.

Regarding this, Adebayo's agent patted his chest to ensure that Adebayo only belonged to Arsenal, and that if they believed it, they could sign a agreement. At the same time, Adebayo also expressed his admiration for Arsenal head coach Wenger and his yearning for Arsenal. This greatly satisfied Arsenal, who had just been temporarily blocked in the "Battle of Charity", and promised that Adebayo would get enough playing time when he came to the team.

Both guests and hosts were happy. Steve Lovelli flew back to London later that day to formally report to Arsenal head coach Wenger about Adebayo's transfer. Then, at a regular press conference, Wenger once again expressed his appreciation for Adebayo, which was a response to the media's transfer news.

On the other hand, Adebayo said in an interview that he really wanted to play football in England, and that his sincere attitude almost said that joining Arsenal was his biggest dream since childhood...

This is the video that is being played on TV. Adebayo was interviewed by the media and praised Arsenal for being the greatest club on the planet. Finally, he said, 'No one can refuse the temptation to wear Arsenal's jersey. Obviously, this includes me."

Jorge Mendes smiled. Such transfer news would not arouse his much interest. He had also paid attention to the Togolese man, but in the end he chose to give up. He believed that the Togolese man's personality made it impossible to become a real superstar.

What personality?

With a greedy personality, Togolese people's love for football is far less than their love for money. It is difficult for such players to truly reach a certain level.

Of course, Mendes also loves money. No one loves money, but with his eyesight, it is unwise to show his love for Arsenal so nakedly without confirming his joining Arsenal.

In a word, this person has a low emotional intelligence.

※※※※※※※※※※

Damn, I'm very upset.

Zhang Yang looked at the person in front of him and thought to himself.

The person in front of him is Diouf, the chairman of the Marseille club.

"Young man, I heard from Fernandez that you performed well! Do it well!!" Diouf said with a smile. He came to Zhang Yang to negotiate the contract, well, it should be said to be a new contract. Arsenal's purchase made the smart chairman realize that maybe their Marseille team really have a treasure. So, he suddenly took Zhang Yang's attention. This time, when he learned that Zhang Yang was back in Marseille, the club restarted the contract renewal negotiations with Zhang Yang, the chairman actually came to the office in person.

Zhang Yang picked up the contract and looked directly at the salary and benefits.

Just this time, he was not satisfied. Why, this did not change much from the treatment Fernandez mentioned last time, and his monthly salary increased by 3,000 euros, which seems to be a lot, but for an important player in a Ligue 1 team, it is really nothing.

Zhang Yang knew that this kind of contract was a relatively ordinary contract among all Ligue 1 players. Let’s put it this way, among the nearly thirty players in a team, this treatment can only rank between fifteenth and twenty, which is relatively low.

I only deserve this in my performance in the first half of the season!? It’s so outrageous! The other two on the Marseille forward, Senigal international Nion and France’s marginal international Luindula, how can one get an annual salary of 2.6 million euros and the other get an annual salary of 2.9 million yuan!

I tolerate it! I tolerate it!

Zhang Yang's secret luck. After all, this is also the club's chairman, and he has to restrain himself. Well, the chairman comes to negotiate with him in person, which shows some sincerity.

Zhang Yang told himself, but he immediately overturned this reason. Your sister, in front of the salary and money, what is the real money and money in her hands and pockets!

In fact, although Diouf did a little too much, in the whole Ligue 1, there are still many rookie players who get such contracts.

However, Diouf did something wrong, that is, Zhang Yang's current level, or his condition and goal efficiency, is a little too much for such a salary. No matter what, it cannot be much worse than Nian, right? According to Fernandez's idea, Zhang Yang's salary is half of Nian, which should be appropriate.

Unfortunately, Diouf, the chairman, didn't think so. He was reluctant to let it go.
