Chapter 104 Broker

"Melissa. Are you in there?"

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

"Melissa, can I come in?"

"Come in, the door isn't closed." Mei Niu couldn't help her mother, she sighed, and at the same time quickly pulled the quilt over, buried herself in the quilt, and pretended to be asleep.

"Hey, honey, what are you doing in the room?" A middle-aged beautiful woman walked in.

"Oh Mom, I'm tired and I just want to sleep. Don't want to go out."

"Have you forgotten? My dear. Your cousin and the others are coming over today, so hurry up."

"Oh God, I don't remember, Mom, why didn't you say earlier, I can't let Elena see me like this. Come on, Mom, where are my slippers?"

The beautiful woman sighed, her face full of doting, her daughter is 27 years old, and she still has a temper like a child, and she has never had a boyfriend since she grew up, so she couldn't help worrying about her daughter.

Seeing her daughter getting dressed in a hurry, the beautiful woman noticed the poster on the wall, which she had never seen before, "Who is this? He's a pretty good guy."

"A bastard!" Melissa Trio said through gritted teeth.

"Really?" the beautiful woman asked with a smile. She has never seen a good-tempered daughter speak of a man in such a tone. Is this young man her daughter's boyfriend?It's just that it looks a little younger.No matter so much, the important thing is that the daughter seems to have started to fall in love.

Melissa Trio didn't know that her mother was thinking about these things, otherwise she would definitely go crazy.

In a sea view room in the suburbs of Marseille, Jorge Mendes stretched comfortably. He is here for vacation. The winter transfer market has already opened. He only has two days off. He will start working tomorrow. , Mendes said to himself, his mind is like a computer, sorting out the information of the players in his hand.

This Mr. 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. The stars under his command include Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco, Pepe, Mourinho and so on.

In the summer of 2004, with the help of the Portuguese Porto team to win the European Champions Cup, he sent several players and Mourinho to Chelsea. While returning the largest income for Porto in history, he himself also completed The career broke out for the first time, and since then, Mendes has become the most powerful agent in Europe.

However, when it comes to Mendes himself, his experience is indeed legendary.Mendes' father is a government official and his mother is a housewife. Mendes was a player in his youth and played at the left winger position (maybe this is why he prefers Cristiano Ronaldo), but he is on the court His talent is far inferior to that of Cristiano Ronaldo, and playing for a C-level club most of the time speaks for itself.

But when he was still a player, Mendes has already shown his business acumen. He once contracted the right to publish advertisements on the outer wall of the stadium. He also opened a football video rental store. In fact, Mendes’s current giant enterprise Its start is due to the original video store.

"The rental and sales of football videos have allowed me to know the information of players all over the world, and also let me understand the meaning of portrait rights." When Mendes was interviewed by the media, he once recalled, "The video store not long ago I just sold it and made tens of thousands of euros."

On the wall of Mendes' office, there are all kinds of jerseys, including those of Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe and Mourinho, and even Barcelona players Deco and Marcos.Looking at the jerseys of these football superstars, the agent will feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Mendez is a very shrewd businessman and a workaholic." Barcelona President Laporta praised him.

The general manager of Atletico Madrid, Xiao Hill, also said: "He is not the kind of agent who sells a player and doesn't care about it anymore. What he cares about most is not the commission, but the players, the agent and the two clubs. The players he recommends are very good. Some players are unknown at the beginning, but as long as they are recommended by him, they are trustworthy. It is very important to maintain a good relationship with an agent like him who has rich resources.”

※※※※※※※※※※

We have said so much, just to express a meaning, this is a big man, a big man in football circles.

At this moment, the big man turned on the TV and switched to France Nationale [-], where he was talking about things after the opening of the winter transfer window.

On TV, Monaco's striker Adebayor's transfer script officially kicked off.

In fact, what ordinary people in front of the TV don’t know is that Arsenal’s chief scout, Steve Lowery, secretly went to France under the arrangement of Adebayor’s agent a few days ago Secretly met with Adebayor.During the talks, the two sides increased their understanding and concluded a covenant of mutual benefit.Steve Lowery wants Bam Adebayor to put pressure on Monaco to accept an offer from Arsenal.Steve Lowery was worried that other clubs would come and steal people from him.

On this point, Adebayor's agent patted his chest to ensure that Adebayor only belongs to Arsenal, and if they can't believe it, they can also initial an agreement.At the same time, Adebayor also expressed his admiration for Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, and his yearning for Arsenal.This greatly satisfied Arsenal, who had just been temporarily blocked in the "battle for publicity", and promised that Adebayor would come to the team and get enough playing time.

The host and guests were happy, and Steve Lowery flew back to London later that day to formally report to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on the transfer of Adebayor.Later, at a regular press conference, Wenger once again expressed his appreciation for Adebayor, which can be regarded as a response to the media's news about this transfer.

On the other hand, Adebayor said in a public interview that he really wanted to play in England. His sincere attitude almost made joining Arsenal his biggest dream since he was a child...

This is the video that is being played on TV. Adebayor was interviewed by the media and praised Arsenal. He praised Arsenal as the greatest club on the planet. At the end, he said, 'No one can refuse to wear The lure of the Arsenal shirt, obviously, included me. "

Jorge Mendes smiled. This kind of transfer news will not arouse his great interest. He also paid attention to the Togolese, but in the end he chose to give up. He thinks the character of the Togolese Decided that it is impossible to become a real superstar.

What character?

With a greedy character, the Togolese's love for football is far less than his love for money.It is difficult for such a player to really reach a certain height.

Of course, Mendes also loves money.No one does not love money, but, in his eyesight, it is unwise for Adebayor to show his love for Arsenal so nakedly before he has decided to join Arsenal.

In a word, this person's emotional intelligence is not high.

Damn, I'm so upset.

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

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

"Young man, I heard what Fernandez said, you did a good job! Work hard!!" Diouf said with a smile.He came to Zhang Yang to discuss the contract, um, it should be called a new contract.Arsenal's purchase made the shrewd chairman realize that maybe their Marseille team really has a treasure.Therefore, he suddenly paid more attention to Zhang Yang. This time, when he learned that Zhang Yang had returned to Marseille and the club restarted the contract renewal negotiations with Zhang Yang, Mr. Chairman actually came to the office in person.

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

Just at this glance, he was dissatisfied. Why, this is not much different from the treatment Fernandez mentioned last time. The monthly salary has increased by [-] euros, which seems to be a lot, but, for a Ligue [-] For the important players of the team, it is really nothing.

Zhang Yang knows that this kind of contract is a relatively common contract among all players in Ligue [-]. In other words, among a team with nearly [-] players, this treatment can only be ranked between [-]th and [-]th, which is relatively It's back.

My performance in the first half of the season is only worthy of this! ?It's outrageous!The other two on the front line of the Marseille team, Senegal international Niang, and French fringe international Luindura, why can the two of them get an annual salary of 260 million euros and 290 million annual salary!

I will endure!I will endure!

Zhang Yang was secretly lucky.How to put it, this is also the chairman of the club, and he has to restrain his temper.Well, Mr. Chairman came to negotiate with himself in person, which shows sincerity to some extent.

Zhang Yang said to himself, but he himself immediately overturned this reason, your sister, in the face of salary and money, what kind of shameless face, the money in your hand, in your pocket, real money is real !

In fact, although Diouf did a little too much, but in terms of the entire Ligue [-], there are still many rookie players who get this kind of contract.

However, Diouf did one thing wrong, that is, Zhang Yang's current level, or his state and scoring efficiency, with such a salary, it is a little too much, no matter what, it can't be much worse than Niang, right? According to Fernandez's vision, Zhang Yang's salary is half of Niang's, which should be appropriate.

Pity, Diouf.The chairman doesn't see it that way.He is not willing.
