Chapter 72: The Definition of Happiness

in the room.

A man and a woman stared at each other.

When the atmosphere eased down a little, Zhen Shaolong felt that something was wrong, Alice's impression of herself must be negative, she sent her signed pants during the holiday, she sent a book back, what do you say to 'pay attention to personal cultivation'?

To say that Alice was asked by Rawls to help talk about a professional trainer can also be said in the past.

But......

This woman should go too?

Zhen Shaolong stared at Alice carefully, staring meticulously, Alice's face was slightly red, she took a deep breath, and finally said the purpose, "This time I came, and I also hope to officially serve as your agent!" ”

"Official broker?"

Alice said seriously, "I know I have no experience, so I thought I could be a trainee agent first......

"Internship?"

Zhen Shaolong listened.

"Yes, internship." "Although I don't have any experience as an agent, I know what it takes to be an agent, and I believe I can do it well, and what makes me better than other agents is that I know what is most important to you at the moment." ”

"Tell me about it." Zhen Shaolong became interested, he felt that he had become an interviewer, and he could decide whether the interviewer would stay or not, and the interviewer was still a little arrogant Alice.

I have to say, it feels good.

Alice took a deep breath, "The most important thing for you right now is not to fight for a big contract, not to transfer, not to develop a business, but to maintain a positive image. ”

Zhen Shaolong pulled the corners of his mouth, "I'm already handsome enough." "The appearance is so high, the image is not positive enough?

Alice rolled her eyes and continued, "You may have other opinions, but some of your practices and behaviors have caused controversy in public opinion. For example, Mine, who asked for a kiss from a female fan before a game, flirted with a female reporter during an interview, gave someone signed pants at Christmas, and publicly admitted that he liked women......"

"Alright, alright! Stop it! ”

The more Zhen Shaolong listened, the darker his face became, and his black history seemed to have been discovered.

Alice looked helpless, seemingly ironic, and continued, "It is important for a professional footballer and a public figure to create a positive image, of course, it is not necessarily completely positive, but at least there should not be too many negatives, otherwise it will cause public opinion controversy and affect future business potential." ”

"Also, if there is too much negative press, it will probably affect the mentality of training and competition, right?"

"So for you, the most important thing at the moment is how to minimize the impact of negative public opinion, and then you must also have a clear understanding of what kind of personal ...... you want to establish."

Zhen Shaolong interrupted Alice's words with a wave of his hand, and then his mind turned and turned, and then he looked at Alice carefully, and finally nodded and said, "You convinced me!" ”

Alice was a little smug.

"I can hire you as a temporary agent, but I don't need you to dictate my daily style. What you need to do is to help me and eliminate the influence of public opinion......"

Zhen Shaolong also became very serious.

Alice makes a lot of sense, public figures must have a positive image, but some of his practices are just to complete the tasks of the system, and he is forced to do so.

What can I do?

In the absence of a system task, he also doesn't want to do something that sounds like a middle two, but it can't be avoided now and will not be avoided in the future, so the broker just needs to help wrap it up.

Whenever I do something in Form 2, there is someone running errands in the back to finish it.

That feeling is not bad.

"That's what an agent is supposed to do." Zhen Shaolong felt very satisfied when he thought about it.

Alice was dumbfounded.

Before deciding to come to Hamburg, she thought about the problem and felt that Zhen Shaolong was still saved, as long as she told him what he should do and what he should not do, he would definitely be able to create an image of a template star.

I've done a lot of weird things before, it's just hormones, he's still very young, and he definitely needs someone to help guide him.

Alice thought it was still challenging.

Can ...... now

This guy simply doesn't think about the suggestion at all, and just lets her do the finishing touches?

How can this work?

"Okay!"

Alice was silent for a while, and then decisively agreed, and it seems that the rescue work should be gradual.

Next, Zhen Shaolong and Alice negotiated the 'intern' agent contract.

Since it is an intern agent, it cannot be treated the same as a normal broker, and commissions such as salary and business income, that is, the income of the broker, will definitely be much less.

In addition, trainee agents do not need to sign a guarantee contract.

Alice thought that Zhen Shaolong's request was a bit excessive, and she fought for her own rights and interests, and finally the two sides reached an agreement on important terms--

1. The broker's income commission is 3%.

2. The contract is signed for two years, the internship period is one year, and then the official agent is transferred, and the income commission rises to 5%.

3. The player can unilaterally terminate the contract at any time, but the termination within one year needs to compensate the agent 10,000 euros.

Zhen Shaolong feels quite satisfied, the general agent's commission is more than five points, and some can even exceed ten points, in addition, the termination clause is also very good, 10,000 euros is not a large amount, and you can afford it at any time.

Alice also seemed satisfied.

When the two officially signed the contract, Alice officially became Zhen Shaolong's agent, even if it was an intern agent, it could be regarded as an agent, and the relationship suddenly seemed to be closer.

"Let's go have lunch and celebrate!" Zhen Shaolong suggested, and patted his chest and said, "I'm in for a treat." ”

The two went to a restaurant at the door.

During the meal, Zhen Shaolong and Alice talked about going to school, talking about playing football, and talked a lot about their respective lives, and the communication was relatively pleasant and smooth.

Halfway through, Zhen Shaolong said the question in his heart, "Can you tell me why you want to be my agent?" ”

He couldn't figure this out.

Rawls is a well-known scout, who is never short of money to spend, and travels everywhere when he has time, and Alice, his only daughter, is certainly not the kind of student who needs a loan to go to college.

Alice is also a prestigious school, it is not difficult to find an internship job, of course, it is not easy to find a job as an agent, is it because you want to continue to practice yourself?

Alice looked at Zhen Shaolong and said very seriously, "Do you remember the Christmas gift I gave you?" I think the best way for you to improve your self-cultivation is to go to a good university, and at the same time you can have a good atmosphere while learning knowledge, so that you can improve your self-cultivation. But you're alone in Germany, and every day you just play football and play. ”

She shook her head as she spoke, her eyes filled with sincerity, "Rawls and your father are classmates and friends...... It doesn't matter what your father's character is, but I, as an older sister, should help you. ”

Zhen Shaolong nodded when he listened, his expression was quite moved, and then asked sincerely, "Isn't it good to sign the contract on the first day and decide to terminate the contract?" ”

Alice returned a dangerous gaze.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

After lunch, Alice was going back.

Zhen Shaolong wanted to send her to the station, only to find out that she came by car, "You can drive?" ”

"Of course, I got my driver's license last year." Alice said proudly.

Zhen Shaolong was a little envious.

In his previous life, he was also an old driver, he had drifting, had car accidents, and his technical experience was quite good, but in this life, there was no way, and he would definitely have to retake the driver's license.

Zhen Shaolong saw Alice's car: an outdated blue sedan.

The design of the two large round lamps in front can't help but give people a sense of age, and the decoration inside is also a little shabby, which is a little inconsistent with Alice's working woman's temperament.

Zhen Shaolong patted the body and asked a little puzzled, "Why don't you change cars?" It's too old, right? ”

"Rawls replaced." Alice's tone was a little helpless.

"And then?"

"I want to get a new car. The last time I went to the car show, there was a red sports car that fits perfectly, but Rawls said that I was over 18 years old and that he was only responsible for the tuition fees, and he had to pay for the rest of the expenses. Alice's face was full of complaint.

"How much does your favorite sports car cost?" Zhen Shaolong was a little interested.

"110,000 euros."

Zhen Shaolong pulled the corners of his mouth, immediately understood Rawls, and did not continue to say anything.

Alice walked all the way.

Zhen Shaolong slapped his thigh and reacted suddenly, "I'll just say that her excuse just now is very fake." How can you care about personal cultivation? Damn, I was fooled by this woman! ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Zhen Shaolong can be sure that Alice decided to recommend herself to be his agent in order to buy a new car.

110,000 euros......

In the newly signed agent contract, the commission income during the internship period is only 3%, and his annual salary is only 420,000 euros, even if there is more goal bonus, Alice can only get a share of about 20,000 euros.

That's a drop in the bucket compared to 110,000 euros.

"Women have a purpose...... It's always good. Zhen Shaolong's goal is to strive to become a big star, and Alice has also found a goal, which is to rely on her own efforts to earn a satisfactory sports car, "She should probably expect that I can become a big star in the future, then, as long as she is still my agent, it will be much easier to achieve the goal." ”

Alice thought so too.

Alice is not just a 'mouth cannon', she does have the heart to create an image for Zhen Shaolong.

This is important.

Zhen Shaolong's salary is fixed, at most he gets some goal bonuses, if he does not transfer in the short term and signs a new contract, if he wants to increase his income, he can only rely on commercial promotion.

Commercial promotion, fame and image are very important.

Zhen Shaolong's fame depends on the performance of the game, it is difficult for her to really help anything, but it is not enough to have fame, but also to have an image, many famous stars have no commercial value, just because they do not have a good image.

Or is it not good enough?

To be precise, it should be that the performance is not too amazing, the appearance cannot attract a lot of attention, and it is just a little famous, but it does not have much commercial potential.

Alice is very optimistic about Zhen Shaolong, because Zhen Shaolong's appearance is a popular type, he can be regarded as a strong and handsome little fresh meat, with popular handsomeness, and male masculinity.

If you have both, you naturally have potential.

In addition, Zhen Shaolong is a Chinese player, as far as Alice knows, there are no outstanding football players in China, and now Zhen Shaolong is already very good, as long as he is considered the best player in China, he doesn't have to care about the European and American markets at all, and a single Chinese market is enough to support commercial income.

So Zhen Shaolong is full of potential.

In terms of football performance, Zhen Shaolong can only work hard by herself, and the most important thing in her job is to establish a positive image for Zhen Shaolong.

It's not that difficult.

A good-looking player will always be easy to establish an image.

As long as there is nothing to criticize, it will automatically have a good image in the hearts of fans, and to a certain extent, it also shows that the essence of society is still face-seeing.

Soon Alice didn't think so.

At the end of January, the quarter-finals of the German Cup kicked off, and St. Pauli welcomed Offenbach kickers, a Bundesliga side on the Main River that currently sits 14th in the league table.

St. Pauli relied on a victory over Bochum and an upset win over Hertha Berlin to reach the quarterfinals of the German Cup.

A large part of Offenbach's kickers depend on luck.

In the third and fourth rounds of the German Cup, they met Karlsruhe and Rostock in succession, both of which were teams in the middle and lower reaches of the German Second Division, and after winning two games in a row, they reached the quarterfinals of the German Cup.

From this point of view, the cup competition system of consecutive draws and one game to decide the winner is still quite unfair.

In the German Cup, sometimes luck is more important than strength.

For example, some unlucky teams meet Bayern Munich in the first leg, and the basic result is that they are eliminated from the competition, even if they try hard, there is no point.

Some teams, just the opposite.

Offenbach kickers, who have not faced any Bundesliga team, have already reached the quarter-finals.

St. Pauli's luck, in fact, was not bad, only met Hertha Berlin.

Now the two sides have met.

St. Pauli seem to have had the better of luck as the stadium at the MΓΌller Gate Stadium is always better with home advantage, and they see hope of reaching the last four of the German Cup.

To this end, Bergman loudly encouraged the team, "As long as we win the game, we can make it to the Final Four!" It's hard to say whether that kind of high-pitched shouting was motivating, but it certainly sounded a little funny.

None of this has anything to do with Alice.

She entered the Miller Gate Court early, still sitting in the back row, watching the game is to see Zhen Shaolong perform well, and she is also ready to speak for Zhen Shaolong as an agent at the necessary moment to create a good image.

Soon she realized that her thoughts seemed to be a little too optimistic.

Both teams have warmed up.

Zhen Shaolong ran to the fan stand again and openly asked for a kiss from the female fans in the east stand, and the ordinary female fans were also a little reserved, but the beautifully dressed cheerleaders seemed to be incarnated into a large group of female hooligans, surrounding him in the middle and 'hugging him'.

Enthusiasm everywhere.

Kiss.

Everywhere your hands can reach, it's all flesh and body that feels tactile.

Maybe this is happiness?

The men in the stadium are making a new definition of 'happiness', the media reporters are also enthusiastically shooting, they have already experienced, many reporters are waiting in the aisle of the East Stand, is in the best shooting angle, the only regret is that the female fans who are too enthusiastic are surrounded by the protagonist in the middle, and it is not easy to take a straight face.

"Can't this guy be normal? Even if it's hormones...... Pay attention to reporters, too, right? Alice gritted her teeth, a wave of anger welled up in her heart, and the more she looked at it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but curse angrily, "A bunch of shameless stinky-bitch! ”
