Chapter 138: What are you doing early? [Sixth Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass]
With a bang, the thick blackout curtains were opened, and the originally dark room was suddenly bright. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Jorge Mendes, who had just woken up, squinted out the window and saw that the streets of Madrid at three o'clock in the afternoon were already very lively.
The hotel where he lives is located in the southern part of the city center, near the Calderón Stadium and a short distance from Poseidon Square.
This was deliberately chosen by him.
Last night, he returned to Madrid with the team from Albacete, and then rushed to Poseidon Square to celebrate the double with the fans who had already gathered there like a tidal wave of sheets.
The crazy celebration scene shocked him and made him unforgettable for the rest of his life.
In Spain, it's not until 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, it's considered early to bed, and last night, I don't know how many people in the city would have stayed up all night, and I don't know how many people were drunk and unconscious.
Mendez also returned to the hotel in the early morning, and slept in the afternoon.
Even now, he still feels a little headache, and he can only gently rub his temples with his hands.
A large glass window separates the heat from the outside and keeps the air conditioning in the room.
Back in his room, he poured himself a glass of warm water, and took his phone from the table, and there were a dozen missed calls.
Mendez shook his head with a slight smile and clicked on the call log.
He's been in demand lately, and he's used to so many missed calls.
At the same time, he is also a very self-aware person, and he knows very well why he is in demand.
In Madrid, where flowers are blooming, Jorge Mendes three months ago is very different from him three months later.
Three months ago, he had just arrived and was bent on opening up the Spanish market, so he had to compromise and do things that others didn't want to do.
But three months later, he didn't have to.
He now has many business cards, among which the most shiny and the one that can bring him the most pride and sense of accomplishment is Gao Han's only agent!
Whether it was at the Copa del Rey celebration dinner a month ago, or at the Atletico Madrid La Liga Championship celebration dinner a month later, this business card made him a guest of honor in the Sheets Army, and made friends with many political and business celebrities who have a place in Madrid.
It was also this business card that he got the phone numbers and contact information of the top management of more than a dozen La Liga and La B teams.
Especially Valencia, Barcelona and Real Madrid!
These are three of the hottest teams in Spanish football in recent times, but Mendes is now in touch with their top management at any time, something he would have never dreamed of three months ago.
Anyone who has ever been in business knows how important it is to make a deal with someone who can come up with ideas.
And there is only one reason why these teams look up to Mendes.
They want to know what Gao Han wants to do now?
Although Gao Han still has a one-year contract with Atletico Madrid, everyone knows that that contract has no value at all.
The meager salary, the low termination fee, and the almost worthless contract terms are no longer worthy of the current high cold.
Everyone knows that this contract is nothing more than nothing.
And what they are interested in is whether Gao Han is going to leave or stay!
That's why they reached out to Jorge Mendes.
Mendez is extremely proud and proud of the decision he made a month ago.
He's made a lot of money!
"Looks like I'm going to have to work harder!"
With a partner like Gao Han, Mendes also has to urge himself, but he can't be left behind by Gao Han.
After drinking a full glass of boiling water, Mendez walked to the bathroom and began brushing his teeth and face.
Until the phone rang again in the room, he grabbed the razor and the foam on his face, and chased it out.
Caller ID, Paul Futtrey.
You can't go unanswered on the phone.
"Hey, Paul. ”
"Hello, Jorge. ”
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Mendez asked with a smile.
Although he has a bit of a status now, he is smart enough to know why he has all this and that it is not all secure, even the status of Alpine in Spanish football.
Gao Han is on fire now, but how long can it be on fire?
"Jorge, I've heard you've been in contact with a number of teams lately, right?" asked Paul Futre.
Mendez frowned, and immediately guessed the intention of his compatriot's call.
"Oh, please, Paul, you should know that they reached out to me. ”
Paul Futre laughed twice, "Then did Barcelona entrust you to contact Hugo Leal?"
Mendez Meishan was still locked, and after a little hesitation, he replied, "You know, they entrusted me with more than one. ”
"I know, but I also want to know, what is the attitude of Barcelona?"
Mendes groaned, "All I can say is that they are very interested. ”
Hugo Leal was the star of Atletico Madrid's second half of the game, and although he was only halfway there, he became the assist leader of La Liga and was also selected for the latest edition of the Portugal national team list.
The 21-year-old Portuguese midfielder is now the most popular player in Atletico Madrid's squad behind Villa and Fernando Torres, and has also been poached by a number of teams, including Barcelona.
Barcelona not only entrusted Komendez, but also other agents, including José Vega.
As for who can make this deal, then it depends on their ability.
"Ok, I see!" replied Paul Futrley.
It's a phrase that understands that people can naturally hear Barcelona's thoughts.
"Is there anything else?" Mendes asked again.
As smart as he was, he could have guessed that Paul Futrey would not have called just for Ugo Leal.
Barcelona wants to get him, and it has already spread, so why call him?
And he just said that he has connections with many teams, so the answer is obvious.
Paul Futrey didn't hide it, and confessed: "There is indeed one more thing. ”
"Well, please. ”
"Jorge, I want to know, what does Gao Han think?"
Jorge Mendes on the phone was also stunned, he wanted to say, I don't know, I talked to him a few times, but he didn't make it clear, I'm not a roundworm in his stomach, how do you know what he thinks?
But this, as shrewd as he is, will certainly not say it.
"Paul, then I'll just say it, what do you think?" Mendes kicked the ball back.
Paul Futrey was silent for a moment, apparently pondering the words.
"Frankly, we hope he stays. ”
"Hmm. ”
"It's not just me, Michel and Enrique, it's also Mr. Hill. ”
When Mendes heard this, he immediately understood, it turned out that Old Hill had finally made up his mind.
"Frankly speaking, a lot of unexpected things happened to the team before, which disrupted our plans, which led to the contract renewal negotiations between us and Gao Han, which have not been officially started until now. ”
"Then what do you mean ......"
"We can start contract extension negotiations at any time, and I can guarantee that our sincerity will never be lost to any other team, and I believe that our commitment should be able to gain your trust, right?"
"Of course, Paul, Mr. Gao Han and I absolutely believe in you. ”
Paul Futrey smiled, "That's the best, I don't know what you mean......"
"That's what Mr. Takahan meant!"
"Huh?"
"I'm just an intermediary in this matter, and all decisions are made by Mr. Gao Han, so I still have to ask him for the specific situation, but I promise that I will definitely convey your words today to him. ”
Paul Futrey also knew that this shrewd Portuguese compatriot was not so easy to fool, and that, with his alpine personality, it was impossible for him to be in charge of such an important matter.
So, he didn't even think about solving the problem with a phone call.
"Paul, I want to tell you that I can see that Mr. Gao Han is very inclined to stay at Atletico Madrid if all things allow, because he is just starting out in coaching, so I must talk to him well. ”
Paul Futtre understands the meaning of Mendes' plea.
"Thank you for your help, Jorge. ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do. Mendes replied with a smile.
Hanging up Paul Futrley's phone made Mendes laugh.
"Now I know that I regret it? You didn't want such a good opportunity to renew the contract at the beginning, but now you are in a hurry? What did you do earlier?"
The Portuguese agent couldn't help but shake his head, as if Gao Han once said, I knew today, why bother in the first place?
Where in the world does the regret medicine come from?
As soon as he thought of Gao Han, Mendes immediately opened the address book, found Gao Han's phone, and called directly.
The phone beeped twice and was connected.
First, there was a burst of music, like listening to a song in a sealed room.
"Hey, Gao Han, it's me. ”
"Jorge, you're only waking up now?"
"Hehe, yes, I was drunk last night. ”
"What's the matter with me?"
"Are you free now?" Mendez asked.
He felt that as an agent, he had to have a little bit of a bottom about whether to stay in Atletico Madrid, which required him to have a good talk with Gao Han.
"Now?" Gao Han paused, "I'm on my way to Fuenlabrada and I don't think I'll be back until evening." ”
Fuenlavrada?
Mendez's mind turned, and he immediately remembered.
Gao Han once said that he has a football team there, but he usually doesn't take care of it, and now it is estimated that it is in the past.
Also, Torres, Matayana and de la Morena, among others, seem to be from that area.
"Or ...... Shall I go to Fuenlavrada to find you now?"
"You can come here, you can go straight to Chinatown, our club's office is here, call me when you arrive." ”
"Okay, I'll be right over. ”
After hanging up the phone, Mendes packed his things and went out. (To be continued.) )
