Yamane Shigekichi has a very good attitude, and he has been observing the etiquette of being a guest, sitting upright and kneeling, and when he heard Kitahara Shuji's question, he politely took out his business card and handed it to Kitahara Shuji, and introduced himself seriously: "Kitahara-san, hello, I'm Yamane Shigechi from the Hanshin Tiger Ball Club Affairs Department, please give me a lot of advice." ”

He can't contact Kitahara Shuji through official channels, Kitahara Shuji is not yet an underage of legal age, and it is a bit taboo to openly contact this, so he can only introduce him privately through acquaintances, and his uncle Naonaka Yamane is obviously used to being an uncle in his own dojo, and he feels very unreliable, but he can't help it - privately contacting promising players, this is originally a matter of the eight immortals crossing the sea to show their powers, and it is not easy for him to make Kitahara Shuji have to see him.

This is still thanks to Kitahara Shuji Bo's fame, he has taken the Jade Dragon Flag and appeared in magazines, and people who are interested know that he has practiced Ono's knife flow technique, otherwise he would not be able to find this line.

Kitahara Shuji took the business card with both hands and glanced at it, not surprised, but just waited for the other party to finish his words in the spirit of etiquette, and then politely refused, first taking advantage of the reason and then talking about his uncle's attitude.

Yamane Mokichi saw Kitahara Shuji's expression indifferent, and when he heard that the Daimyo of Hanshin Tiger didn't care, he felt a little bad in his heart, and was a little worried that he had a favorite team, but he still smiled in a Kansai accent: "I took the liberty to bother this time, just to ask if Kitahara-san has any intention to join professional baseball in the future? If so, maybe I can help a little- Kitahara-san is still very potential, but after watching Kitahara-san's game, I found that Kitahara-san has not undergone too professional guidance, and there is still a lot of room for improvement, while our team has professional training facilities and an experienced coaching team, such as ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Naonaka Yamane, who said directly: "Don't be so verbose, it's all your own people, just talk about the key points." ”

Yamane Mokichi choked and looked at his uncle speechlessly, but he still changed his words very obediently: "If Kitahara-san has the intention to join professional baseball, we hope that Kitahara-san can choose our team, and I will strive for a good number for Kitahara-san in terms of signing money, incentive bonuses and annual salary." ”

Kitahara Shuji nodded politely and replied politely: "Thank you for your green eyes, but I have no intention of joining professional baseball, I'm really embarrassed to let you run for nothing, please use tea." ”

It's okay to leave after drinking tea, I originally saw Fukuzawa Naotaka's face to see you, at least I can make a friend, but you don't give Fukuzawa Naotaka face, it's really not particular about being a man, and you can't make deep friends.

He refused neatly, which directly made Yamane Mokichi stunned - joining professional baseball is the wish of all baseball lovers, you don't want to join professional baseball, why play baseball? Is it really for the sake of youthful enthusiasm? That's to coax children!

He suspected that Kitahara Shuji didn't know how lucrative the professional baseball income was, so he hurriedly said: "Why not? According to the rules of the league, the upper limit of the signing fee is 100 million yen, and the incentive bonus is 50 million yen, which alone is equivalent to the income of ordinary people's lives, and now there are many people who have an annual salary of 100 million or 200 million yen for professional baseball stars...... Please, please think again. ”

Kitahara Shuji finished the first game with a steady ball speed of over 160, although it was obvious that he lacked rigorous training, but it proved that he had great potential, so he attracted so many people's attention in an instant - compared to Kitahara Shuji's future value, the snow hit Koshien is simply not worth mentioning, just a kid messing around.

Professional baseball is the real world of baseball!

In Japan, you can join professional baseball after graduating from high school, but if you want to play in professional baseball, you basically have to go through a draft, and the draft will be the first to choose whoever ranked last last season. In the past few years, the Hanshin Tigers have been at the bottom of the Central League rankings, that is, the question of competing with the bottom of the Pacific League for the first and second choices, I think it will not be a problem to choose him when Kitahara Shuji graduates-this is a potential new star with a ball speed of more than 160 in college, and after rigorous training, the probability of becoming a legendary pitcher in the future is more than 50%!

Even if you can't choose him, as long as you reach a tacit understanding with him, you can wait for Kitahara Shuji to survive the rookie period and join the team as a free agent - it's only two years, Kitahara Shuji is only 18 after graduating from college, and baseball is not too physically demanding, he can still shoot for 15 years, and it's nothing to waste two years, just train.

The only question is whether he agrees or not.

The Japanese Major League Baseball is not a law enforcement agency, there is no coercive force, and there is no way to force players to play in a certain ball club, after the draft is over, the ball group and the player discuss the contract issue, if the player insists on refusing to sign, then the ball club has no choice, can only waste a draft opportunity in vain - it is a lose-lose, this year the player will not be able to play to make money, and wait for next year to participate in the draft.

So, although there are rules that prohibit private contact with players, it is generally the case that the team reaches a preliminary intention with the player in private, and then dares to select it at the draft - Yamane Mokichi is here to do this, to determine Kitahara's wishes, and to write a good check for his future.

There is no shortage of people in each ball club, what is lacking is talent, and Kitahara Shuji is talent, and he is sent to the United States to play professional baseball.

As for why he didn't wait for him to graduate from high school, can a pitcher with a 160 ball speed stay until he graduated from high school? Other ball groups are not stupid, this thing has always been fast and slow, and even invested early, and when Kitahara Shuji is not a Hanshin Tiger in the future, wouldn't it be beautiful?

The Hanshin Tigers could have "fired" a few coaches and trained Kitahara for two years in a private capacity, and it was totally worth it for the sake of this kind of young man who showed great potential at the age of 17 - of course it was a violation, but there were many violations, didn't the giants ignore the draft and rob the legendary pitcher Taku Egawa?

Yamane Mokichi or Hanshin Tiger is very sincere, and the blank check written is rich enough, which instantly makes Fuyumi Tsuki's eyes light up - as long as he agrees, the upper limit is 150 million yen in cash, although it is estimated that he can't get so much, but it is good to be able to get 100 million yen! And professional baseball players are popular with the whole people, are generally loved and respected, and have a high social status, so it is also very convenient to change jobs if they can't play, such as transferring to the management of the club, coaching, or being a commentator, and the income is also good.

If Xueli can get this condition, it is estimated that she has signed a draft contract according to Xueli, and she will no longer have to worry about her sister not having enough to eat in the future - the private contract has no legal effect, but regretting it will greatly hurt the character and ruin the future.

It's a pity that Xueli is a girl, and it's a blessing that a female professional baseball player can earn an annual salary of three million yen, and there is no guarantee at all if she can't play......

The conditions are good, but she knows that Kitahara Shuji will not agree, and the one who can agree can't sign, so she feels very sorry, and Kitahara Shuji really refused again: "Mr. Yamane, I'm really sorry for my decision." ”

He doesn't need to play baseball if he wants money, he now earns tens of millions of yen a year by opening a pure flavor house, and he is really rushing for money, he might as well take the salted eggs of the Fukuzawa family to run the catering industry well, then he can still be the boss, and he doesn't have to listen to other people's commands.

If this person came to Xueli to sign a contract, then he would welcome him with both hands. Xueli likes to play in addition to eating, and being an athlete is also a serious and good profession, and if you can play and make money to buy delicious food, you naturally have to agree, but he doesn't forget it, his ambition is not here.

Yamane Mokichi saw that Kitahara Shuji's attitude was very resolute, and he didn't even move his brows when he heard the huge amount of money at a young age- Robbing the bank is almost 100 million yen, this is no reason not to be tempted, and he really came with great goodwill, this future is really good, impeccable, although the annual salary in the first year after joining is a little miserable, only 13 million yen capped, but this is the league regulations, and it depends on who to compare, the general senior white-collar workers take this number a year, and then after the rookie period the prospect is very broad, really powerful, double a year, it is normal to get an annual salary of more than 100 million yuan in a few years.

His suspicions rose sharply in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is there any other ball group that has come into contact with Kitahara-san?"

There is no reason not to suspect it, this matter is too suspicious, and the information he found is very clear, Kitahara Shuji was born in a poor family in Tottori Prefecture, and his annual income is less than one million yen, and this 100 times the annual income is not considered, how is this possible? The only explanation is that someone gave a higher price - he thought about the object of suspicion, and asked, "Is it a Yomiuri giant?"

The Giants have a bad track record and are known as the most successful teams in professional baseball, but in order to pursue victory, they will do unscrupulous things, and they do a lot of bullshit, and violations are considered normal operations.

Kitahara Shuji was about to deny it, but Naonaka Yamane, who had been knocking on his hand with a fan next to him, spoke, "Kitahara, you are from Kansai, and if you want to join professional baseball, you must choose a team in Kansai, this is not negotiable! If a ball club in Tokyo comes to you, you will immediately reject them, let alone join the giants." ”

Tottori Prefecture is also considered Kansai, and the Giants are the ball group in Tokyo, and the Hanshin Tiger is the ball group in Kansai, and the two sides are mortal enemies, a bit similar to the relationship between Real Madrid and Barcelona - this involves the dispute between Kanto and Kansai in Japan, the confrontation between the elite rentier class and the grassroots class, but in general, the Hanshin Tiger has been pressing the giants, and the grassroots class is not the opponent of the elite class at all.

Then he turned to Yamane Shigekichi and ordered: "Kitahara is your own person, and you must do your best to fight for better treatment for him, and you must not treat him badly, understand!?"

Yamane Shigekichi immediately responded "yes", and Yamane Naonaka smiled with satisfaction, and knocked his hand with a fan: "That's okay, this matter is so preliminarily decided!Okay, don't talk about these mundane things next, take me to see here, twenty-five or twenty-six years haven't come......"

Kitahara Shuji laughed angrily, who are you, this matter is so decided?! You old boy and Fukuzawa Naokaka are brothers, why is there such a big difference, they are completely two kinds of people? Do you also owe someone to be slashed? What is the matter if you haven't suffered a loss?

He stretched out his hand to stop Yamane Naonaka from getting up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yamane, wait a minute!" Then he turned to Yamane Mokichi and said seriously: "Mr. Yamane, let me say it again, I have no intention of joining professional baseball, and even if I do, I will not choose the Hanshin Tigers." ”

The joy on Yamane Mokichi's face suddenly disappeared, and the expression on Naonaka Yamane's face suddenly became ugly. In his opinion, this is Kitahara Shuji who is disobedient and insists on joining the Kanto ball group, and immediately screams "rude" and knocks the fan on Kitahara Shuji's head across the table, and Kitahara Shuji looked at the fan and didn't move, because he didn't need to, Yukiri grabbed the fan with a lightning bolt behind him, and said angrily: "Don't bully Xiuji!"

She doesn't like this old man!

Yamane Naonaka was slashing with the fan just now, and it was a sneak attack, although he just wanted to knock Kitahara Shuji's head and didn't use all his strength, but he didn't expect to be caught by someone in his hand, and he didn't pull it back, and he suddenly became even more angry, and shouted: "Let me go, how did Fukuzawa teach you, don't you have any respect?"

Yukiri was stunned for a moment and wanted to let go, but Fuyumi was also angry and ordered next to him, "Yukiri, bring me the fan." ”

What kind of person is this? We treat you as a guest, and you want to beat the host, are you crazy?

Dongmei's words are best for Xueli, and Xueli snatched the fan without hesitation, turned his head and handed it to Dongmei: "Sister, here you are." ”

Yamane Naonaka is also a person who has practiced swordsmanship all his life, but he can't grab Xueli, if he hadn't let go in time, he was almost dragged to the table by Xueli, and Yamane Mokichi hurriedly helped him, and said in a loud voice: "Uncle, don't be angry, don't be angry, have something to say, have something to say......"

Yamane Naonaka was forced to sit back, but his expression was still ugly, and after calming down, he said slowly: "Naokaka is gone, I have the responsibility to discipline his disciples and children to follow the right path, do you think I am not qualified? When I entered and exited this dojo, you were not yet born, show me the posture of a junior!"

In the end, he became angry, he felt that he really came with a piece of kindness, it was simply to send money to Kitahara Shuji, but he didn't expect to receive this kind of treatment - he was really not harming Kitahara Shuji, just showing him the way.

Yamane Mokichi was afraid that the conflict would expand, so he hurriedly laughed and said, "You are still young, and my uncle is also worried that you have deceived others, for your own good...... My uncle is well-intentioned, don't be surprised. ”

Yamane Naonaka nodded lightly: "That's right, I'm for your good, you also have to understand something! Even if your master sees me, I don't dare to be so rude!"

He was the eldest disciple of Fukuzawa Naotaka's generation, but he didn't have the qualifications to inherit the Fukuzawa family's dojo, and he returned to his hometown after getting the permission seal. He felt that it was reasonable, and it was not a problem for him to scold a few times for the junior of Fukuzawa Naotaka - how could he do it if he didn't respect the elders? He was in his own dojo, and a disciple of Kitahara Shuji's size was really casually beaten.

He knew that Kitahara Shuji had won the Jade Dragon Flag, but so what? The competition like college play is not a person in the professional circle at all, and I am afraid that few of these little guys have entered the stage, at most the level of the second and first level.

He didn't think that the Jade Dragon Banner was very important, and he didn't take the Sword Saint seriously, so he didn't take Kitahara Shuji in his eyes at all, but felt that it was a great benefit to take care of Kitahara Shuji.

He said it with a straight face, and Kitahara Shuji was speechless - where were you when Naokaka Fukuzawa first fell unconscious?

He originally wanted to treat the guests well and then send the people away, but what is this coming? This is really a big forest, there are all kinds of birds, it sounds like I haven't seen him for more than 20 years, and he has come all the way to serve as an elder? Is this sick?

He smiled directly: "Mr. Yamane, first of all, I am not a disciple of Mr. Fukuzawa, and secondly, we can decide our own affairs, without outsiders interfering, if you want to be in charge, I think you also have disciples and children, you can go for their good - we can't afford this good, you can keep it yourself!"

Then he turned to Yamane Shigekichi and said, "Mr. Yamane, I've also drunk the tea, do you think it's time for you to go?"

He didn't want to entertain these two people anymore and directly began to chase away customers.

You go home, you don't need to be here.
