Chapter 2 and Five: Make a fortune and become well-off
The joining of De Bruyne and the departure of Jonathan Ford announced the end of Southampton's transfer work this season. Charlotte did not go to hold a separate press conference, but let the staff announce this on the club's official website. information.

The time has entered August, and the training camps and warm-up matches of each team have also entered the final stage.At this time, Southampton ushered in their first official game of the new season, which is the third round of qualifying for the Europa League.

They need to play two home and away games with Belarusian Cup champion Gomel, and the winner will enter the next round of play-offs.

Gomel is not a strong team. To be honest, even the English Championship team is much stronger than the opponent.And now Southampton will naturally not regard Gomel as a strong enemy. The only strong enemy may be the weather and temperature.However, the average temperature in Belarus in August is 22 degrees, which is a good time for neither hot nor cold.

So when Gomel's only weapon capable of stopping Southampton lost its effect, the end was obvious.

The Saints who went to the away game brought back a score of zero to two. Although it was a home and away game, no one thought that Southampton, who had already half-stepped into the next round of qualifying, would be kicked out by the Belarusian .

Facts have proved that everyone's guess is correct. After scoring [-]-[-] in the away game, Charlotte and his team once again gave the Belarusian who came from afar a [-]-[-] at home, and sent Gome with a total score of [-]-[-]. Lee is out.

There are two checkpoints before the Europa League group stage. Charlotte has already passed the first checkpoint, and the remaining play-off games will have to wait until the end of August.

It is worth mentioning that in the first round against Gomel, Charlotte did not take the loaned De Bruyne to Belarus, but in the second round, Charlotte let the Belgian start. Two assists were sent out.

Southampton's transfer is over, but it doesn't mean that Charlotte's good friend Leo Rhodes is idle.On the contrary, Li Ao was so busy that he almost thought that his surname was Li, not Rhodes.

Since he got Charlotte's list, he has never been idle, but Leo, who can make a name for himself in a London law firm, naturally has a high IQ.He sorted Charlotte's roster into categories, starting with those under-21 players who are currently unknown, and then considering some African and South American players, after all, these players are good and cheap.

Following Charlotte's advice for the past six months, he had the opportunity to rob the future European Red Devils Belgium team.Except for the already famous Courtois, Hazard, Lukaku and De Bruyne who just came to Southampton, almost all the remaining Belgian goblins were looted by him.

Belgium does not have any huge economic companies. Unlike Portugal, Brazil and Argentina, countries with a blowout of talent, their football resources are almost monopolized by some big companies, and it is almost impossible to avoid these big companies.

What made Leo Rhodes start to gain fame and gain a firm foothold in Belgium were the four transfer operations of Belgian players.One is naturally that El Ganassi moved to West Bromwich Albion. The Belgian was brought to England by Charlotte and now has a place in the Premier League.

The second is to help De Bruyne on loan to Southampton. Although De Bruyne has an agent and the contract has not yet expired, the operation from Chelsea to Southampton is all done by Leo.The third is the relatively influential transfer in Belgium a few days ago. After Belgian center Christian Benteke signed a contract with Leo, Leo was paid a transfer fee of 700 million pounds from Belgium. Brought to the Premier League Aston Villa team.

The last operation can be described as relatively generous. Vertonghen transferred from the Eredivisie Ajax to the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur at a price of 1000 to [-] million pounds.

So now Leo Rhodes represents the Premier League in the eyes of Belgian players. As long as he becomes a player under the management company of Leo Rhodes, he is likely to land in the Premier League, the world's number one league.

So Leo has now opened up the situation in Belgium, and his team has broadened Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Miralas, Origi, Nainggolan, Batshuayi and other players, among which Miralas If there is no accident, Leo Rhodes can be operated by Leo Rhodes to Everton this season, and now he is still in the Greek giants Olympiacos.

After finishing Belgium, Leo went to Germany and successfully signed German players such as Royce, Schurrle, Emre Can, Max Meyer and Draxler. According to Roy Leo sent him to Dortmund due to his personal wishes.

It's not that these players don't have agents, but that their agent contracts have expired, or they don't have a formal agent contract at all, so they were successfully poached by Leo.Li Ao played well in Germany under the name of Charlotte. At least Charlotte had a very high reputation in German football before, even though it was basically a negative reputation.

Let’s not talk about finding a job after graduation. There was a joke in the Bundesliga last season: “Hey, did you hear that? The kid who just graduated from university and wanted to be a head coach spent more than 1000 million euros to buy a A goalkeeper who couldn't even play a game at the age of [-]."

After getting some local youth training in Germany, Leo set his sights on those players with non-German household registration who play in the German league.Such as players like Matip, Ricardo Rodriguez and Papadopoulos.

According to the strategy formulated by Charlotte, Leo Rhodes does not charge any share to young players who have not received a formal professional contract, and the share he collects from those players who have already received a professional contract is also quite low, only [-]% Second, the industry is basically [-]%.

It's just that the fee charged on the commercial contract is slightly higher, like 15.00%.Of course, the biggest advantage is actually earning commissions from the two clubs and brokerage fees. These are the sources of money for Rhodes Brokers.

Squeezing the salaries of players and encouraging players to transfer frequently to seek huge benefits is undoubtedly a matter of killing chickens and taking eggs.At present, few people in the brokerage circle use this kind of method. After ten years of development, everyone understands the benefits of a long flow of water.

As a traverser with advantages, Charlotte naturally understood.So he made a lot of strategic deployments for Leo before.

For example, this season, Leo's strides are a bit too big. Although he didn't make a fuss, he was still very busy.So he recruited a lot of interns and part-time college students to help. For example, in the three countries of the UK, Belgium and Germany, he hired many young people to help him deal with the life problems of the players. Leo even encouraged these young and fine I spend more time communicating with the players and chatting to promote feelings.

A young man who just graduated from London University helped Vertonghen find the house he rented in London, and even helped the Belgian move and act as a tour guide in London.
Of course, these young people do not have the qualifications of agents. At present, Leo's agent company has three lawyers with FIFA agent qualification certificates, and the other two are two of Li Ao's former friends in the law firm.He successfully dragged two good friends into the water, and led them to become rich and well-off.

So these players are actually affiliated with Rhodes Brokerage Company, and these young people are only helping to deal with the daily affairs of some players, and do not participate in professional matters such as transfers, contract signing and business negotiations.

But even so, Li Ao is very busy, and he is currently recruiting some other unknown small managers as employees.

But this part does not need Charlotte to be responsible, Leo can solve it, and the current brokerage company is self-sufficient at this stage, after all, it has completed several transfer operations, and Leo has also received a lot of commissions.

And Leo's next step is to go to France and Spain, but before the end of last season, he successfully signed the French teenager Griezmann who played for Real Sociedad and the Paris Saint-Germain youth team. Mann and Monaco's teenager Anthony Martial also made a good start for the trip to France in the near future.

Although a detailed list and some strategic suggestions were given to Leo, Charlotte seldom asked about this brokerage company, so he had no idea that Leo was making such rapid progress, he thought Li Ao is still convincing these little monsters to sign contracts with him between England and Belgium. Little do they know that they have already secured many talented players who will become popular in football a few years later.

The principle that Charlotte believes in is: there is a specialization in skills, and professional things should be handled by professional people.

For example, he dumped the mobile phone company to Sean Brown and Anna before, and then dumped the domestic investment company to professional managers and Lisa Rhodes. He also dumped the brokerage company to Leo Rhodes.

Sometimes, after some whimsical ideas pop up in Charlotte's mind, she will tell them these unsystematic ideas, and then these professional people will string these ideas into detailed information, and finally implement them.

Therefore, Charlotte, the hands-off shopkeeper, has a good reputation, and he also has more time to do his favorite job, even though those side jobs make a lot of money, he doesn't really like them.

And now Charlotte's most important job is the upcoming Premier League game. This will be the first time he has led the team to play such a heavyweight league, so he has done a lot of preparation work in the early stage.

It's just that a small incident that happened before training that day seriously affected his mood. When he walked to the gate of the training base in the morning, he saw many fans gathering at the gate.

This is not surprising, the training bases of many English teams are like this. Fans come here hoping to take a photo or get an autograph with some stars who come to "work, get off work".

It's just the content of their conversation that caught Charlotte's attention.
