Jorge Mendes has been in a good mood lately. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the just-concluded UEFA annual awards ceremony, his right-hand man Cristiano Ronaldo won the best striker of the season and player of the season awards, which made the value of Portuguese players soar again.

Not long ago, Real Madrid, who had just sold Robinho for a lot of money, President Calderón personally invited him to the Bernabeu to inquire about the possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid, and even offered a sky-high price of 70 million euros in person.

But even so, Jorge Mendes did not agree on the spot.

That's not his style, he knows very well that privately promising Real Madrid will inevitably offend Inter Milan.

What's more, neither he nor Cristiano Ronaldo are very interested in Real Madrid, especially President Calderón and General Manager Mijatovic.

In just two years, the two men have almost wiped out all the money they have saved during the Florentino era, especially the handling of Robinho's transfer process this summer.

How can Real Madrid still have the infinite scenery of the galaxy battleship in the past?

The day after the UEFA annual awards ceremony, at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco, Bayern Munich led by Gao Han defeated Pep Guardiola's Barcelona 3-2, which not only won the praise of the world, but also made Gao Han the absolute protagonist of this year's UEFA Managers' Summit.

As Gao Han's agent, Mendes is also excited about this, because he knows that as Gao Han's influence rises, more and more sponsors will be attracted to take the initiative to send money to his door.

No, as soon as the summit ended, several well-known European companies called to consult, and Mendes finally managed to deal with them one by one, and Kesh Harris, an old friend from London's Financial Street and a well-known football investment expert, also called.

"Jorge, come to London quickly, I'll introduce you to make a fortune."

Kesh Harris's words made Mendes, who had a keen sense of making money, immediately fly to London.

The two bumped into each other at a café near Financial Street.

"Ha, I said, Jorge, you are now the world's top agent, I don't know how many people are lined up to meet you, it's not easy for a nobody like me to meet you." Harris teased as soon as they met.

Mendes smiled and waved his hand, "No kidding, Kesh, others don't know about me, you don't know yet?" No matter how far apart I am, as long as I smell the money, I will fly over as soon as possible. ”

After a pause, Mendes smiled again: "Besides, I'm just a vain name, how can I compare with you, my investment expert, we are all small business, millions, more than 10 million, you can do more than 100 million business, how can I compare with you?" ”

The two of them were old friends, teased each other, and sat down face to face.

There is a saying in the field of brokers, qualified brokers do agents and earn commissions; First-class brokers take shares and earn a share; The top agents do nothing, sell teams.

Buying and selling a team often represents a huge amount of money, not only in terms of consulting fees in the transaction, but also in terms of adding a long-term clientele.

Pini Zahavi, who recommended Roman Abramovich to buy Chelsea, was one of them.

Kesh Harris isn't an agent, he's never been in the player business, but he's specialized in buying and selling teams.

It is no exaggeration to say that even now, he has at least three or four Premiership and Championship mandates on hand for him to help find a buyer, and once the deal is done, Kesh Harris will be able to make a significant amount of money from both the buyer and the seller.

Not only is it a big piece of buying the team, but Kesh Harris's bank is also involved in player transactions and loans, so he has a lot of relationships with many professional teams in Europe, as well as many agents, including Mendes.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to call Mendes from Madrid to London with a single phone call.

"Say, brother, is there a money-making project to introduce to me?" Mendez asked with a smile.

Those who know him know that there are many things he doesn't like, that is, he likes to make money.

"There's really one thing that only you can do."

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"Someone introduced me to a client who wanted to sponsor the cold Chinatown team, including two youth centers in Madrid and Beijing, and the cost was not low."

"Oh?" Mendes was interested, "How tall?" ”

"Guaranteed to keep you satisfied with nothing to say." Kesh Harris smiled mysteriously.

Mendez pondered for a moment and nodded.

Gao Han did entrust him to attract investment for the China City team and the youth training center, but the China City team is okay, after all, they have already reached the Spanish Second Division, and many sponsors are optimistic that this team can be promoted smoothly.

It's just that Pochettino's team has had some problems recently, and the results have been affected, but the investment is still going well.

The only thing is the youth training center, which is thankless, and the sponsors don't like it very much.

"Which one?" Mendez asked with interest.

"Mercedes-Benz, owned by Daimler AG in Germany."

"Mercedes?" Mendes was a little surprised, this is a big international brand.

It is not surprising to say that Mercedes-Benz sponsors football, because they are currently the chief sponsor of the German national team, not only the Mercedes-Benz logo on the jersey, but also the bus used by the team is provided by Mercedes-Benz.

In addition to the German national team, Mercedes-Benz also sponsors the Stuttgart team, where it is headquartered, and even this season, Stuttgart renamed its stadium Mercedes-Benz Arena.

Would such a luxury brand want to sponsor the China City team and the youth training center?

"You know, Mercedes-Benz attaches great importance to the Asian market, especially China, which is why they sponsor the China City team and the youth training center, and they are even willing to reach a strategic partnership with Gao Han on China's youth training to help Chinese football take off."

This is a valid reason, and Mendes is not surprised.

In fact, many sponsors support the China City team because of the high cold and the unique background of this team.

Everyone knows that this team has the slightest appeal in China that is not lost to the big teams, which makes countless Chinese fans feel very familiar, not only because of the name, but also because of its historical background and its many Chinese employees.

"How to cooperate?" Mendez asked.

"In addition to providing free buses, Mercedes-Benz will also provide a number of special reception vehicles for free for the use of the China City team and the youth training center, and will also pay a considerable sponsorship fee, the specific amount you can discuss with them in person."

This condition made Mendes hesitate, not too bad, but too good.

Isn't this equivalent to giving money to the China City team and the youth training center for nothing?

Is it just an opportunity to further open up the Chinese market?

But there is such a good advantage not to take advantage of, that is by no means Mendes's style, especially when the other party also takes the initiative to send it to the door.

"Okay, but that doesn't include the cold." Mendez reminded.

"I understand the market." Kesh Harris laughed.

I don't know why, Mendes always felt that things didn't seem to be so simple, frowned, and looked at Kesh Harris with some suspicion, "Kesh, are you still in trouble?" ”

Kesh Harris laughed, he already knew that with Mendes' shrewdness, he must have seen through it, and immediately nodded, "There's something I want you to help with." ”

I just took the benefits of others, and if you want to say that you won't help, it's really unreasonable.

"Okay, let's hear it first." Mendez had a little more to look at.

"I know you're very good friends with Paul Futtrey, aren't you?"

Mendes nodded, "Sort of." ”

"Over the years, he has done a good job at Atletico Madrid, this team has produced many youth talents, he has contributed a lot, as a technical director, under his management, Atletico Madrid has been stable in the Champions League quarterfinals every year, and the results are very eye-catching."

Mendes nodded when he heard this, Paul Futre is now indeed a well-known technical director in Europe, after all, Atletico Madrid's achievements over the years are obvious to all.

However, as a person familiar with the inside story, Mendes knows that Paul Futrey can be where he is today, and Gao Han has contributed a lot.

'You know, not long ago, I was working on a buyover of a Premier League team.

"Well, Manchester City."

"Yes, although Arshavin didn't move to Manchester City as he wished, Paul Futrey made a deep impression on my clients, and you know, they have a lot of money in the Middle East, but they don't know anything about professional football and they don't have connections, so they want to invite Paul Futrey to Manchester City as the team's technical director, in charge of athletic affairs."

"Oh?" Mendes frowned.

As the No. 1 agent in Europe, he has a good eye for the sky, and naturally knows the big consortium behind Manchester City, and also knows that the Abu Dhabi consortium will definitely operate in the European transfer market, and the position of technical director is definitely a fat shortage.

If Paul Futrey takes on this position, it will also be good for him as an agent.

"However, Paul has done a good job at Atletico Madrid and is happy, I'm afraid ......"

"We know that we will do everything we can to compensate Atletico Madrid, and as for Mr. Futres's treatment, it is also very negotiable, you know, the money behind Manchester City is not bad at all."

Mendes nodded, he knew that.

But why Paul Futtrey?

The whole of Europe knows that although the Portuguese is the technical director of Atletico Madrid, he is actually eating the old book left by Gao Han to a large extent.

Why did the Middle Eastern tycoon choose him?

If the Middle Eastern tycoons don't understand, what about Kesh Harris?

This foxy football banker, he will not be clear?

After Mendes sent Kesh Harris away, he had been wondering about it.

Yes, he likes money, but that doesn't mean he likes to be kept in the dark.

The only explanation is that Paul Futrey is not their real target, so who is their real target?

Cristiano Ronaldo?

Mendez thinks it's likely.

As early as the summer transfer, there was news in the British media that Manchester City wanted to acquire Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Messi, the three top talents, which caused a sensation among fans around the world.

No one could have imagined the spectacle of three superstars playing for the same team at the same time.

And Cristiano Ronaldo has not only admired Paul Futrey since he was a child, but also was taken care of by his predecessors during his time at Atletico Madrid, and he was very grateful to Paul Futrey in his heart.

Using Paul Futrey to convince Cristiano Ronaldo is a viable solution.

And another object that Mendes suspects is Gao Han.

Who the hell is it?

Mendes pondered, but soon let go.

No matter who it is, since it is a business, that code is one code, as long as you take care of it yourself and don't suffer losses, then it's okay.

As for the future, I'll leave that for later.
