Li Mudi first came from Mallorca to Madrid and then transferred to New York on a flight operated by American Airlines. On the plane, Li Mudi's mood was still a little apprehensive, for fear that a staff member would rush him off the plane, but he had some expectations in his heart. Because he remembered that American Airlines had been beaten by Asians before the crossing, although the beating itself was a very shameful thing, but it seemed that a large amount of money was compensated afterwards, and he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be 100 million US dollars, and this huge amount of money should be able to make up for the psychological trauma. While he was thinking about it, he really couldn't wait for the big and round bad guy to come to trouble, so he fell asleep in a daze. As a result, he naturally arrived all the way to New York safely, and the pain of flesh and skin and 100 million dollars did not come.

The Big Apple City is indeed prosperous, and when an otaku like Li Mudi arrives here, it is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and his eyes are not enough. Madrid is one of the world's largest cities, but the pace of life there is nothing like here, and the busy people in New York seem to be two or three times faster on the European continent, as evidenced by the scene at the airport.

Raul drove his Audi to pick up the airport, and it was 17:00 p.m., just in time to go to his house for dinner. After saying hello, Raul led his friend to the parking space, Li Mudi found a person sitting in the co-pilot in front of the car window, and after he put the suitcase in the trunk, this person got out of the car, and it turned out to be an old acquaintance.

It turned out to be Ginés Carvajal, one of the biggest names in Spanish football, and Raul's agent was also his good friend. If someone asks all the giants in the world that there are all kinds of small groups, why is it that only Real Madrid's local Spanish gang is the most famous? Why is Real Madrid and Barcelona a lifelong rival, but there are always so many people in the two teams who are good friends? Why is Raul the only king of Spanish football? The reasons are manifold, but one thing in common is because of this man: Genes Carvajal. Since the end of the 90s, at least half of Spain's first-line stars have been his clients, the older generation of Casillas, Tristan, Salgado, Morientes, Valdés, Urses and others, and the new generation of players including Jesus, Deulofeu (Gerard Deulofeu) Most of Real Madrid and Barcelona's reserve team boys are also under his control.

At the heart of Ginés' success in world football is Raul, who has created a huge interest group in Real Madrid and Spain. In addition to the relationship of interests, the two also have an extremely deep friendship, Raul will ask Genes for advice on many personal matters, and the relationship between the two of them is like that of Li Mudi and Qi Zu, which can be regarded as a good family.

Li Mudi was still a little surprised to be able to meet Gines on vacation in New York this time, after all, he is only the coach of the reserve team, not responsible for transfer affairs, and does not have much intersection with the players' agents on weekdays. Don't look at the current Castilla, there are as many as a dozen players signed with his company, but he is almost never on the side of the reserve team, and when there are problems with playing time and training, the players themselves communicate with the coaching staff, and the occasional agent is the lower-level type. Li Mudi and he knew each other a few times when Raul had not left the Bernabeu.

Li Mudi, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, did not doubt for long, and on the way back to Raul's house, Genes took the initiative to explain the reason why he became an uninvited guest.

"Lee, it's been a long time, you've done so well in Castile this half season, I don't even know what words to use to praise you."

In the face of the other party's praise, Li Mudi immediately said a few words of modesty, although he had already entered the Spanish nationality, he was still a traditional Celestial Empire in his bones, and he had learned five stresses, four beauties, eight honors and eight shames since he was a child......

After a little greeting, he asked directly, "I heard Raul say that you don't have an agent yet, so do I have the honor to be your partner?" ”

Although there had been conjectures before, when this was really said, Li Mudi was still a little surprised, and responded after a pause of a few seconds: "I really haven't thought about the agent before, after all, it's good for the player to have an agent, but the coach, it seems that only a big-name coach like Mourinho will have an agent." And there is no one at the bottom like me to shoot advertisements as endorsements, so there seems to be no need for agents. ”

"Hehe, it seems that although you have been in the football circle for a short time, you still don't have a deep understanding of it." The football bigwig seems to be a "teacher" and is ready to teach the little rookie a lesson, "First of all, it is very common for people in the sports world to have an agent, whether it is an athlete or a coach, whether it is a famous star or a dormant who is temporarily unfamous, they should have their own agent. Secondly, agents are not as vampire as rumored by the outside world, and they do not only play a role when they negotiate contracts and endorsements. As I said earlier, the agent and the object of his service are cooperative relations, the former provides the latter with the necessary assistance in various fields, and the latter provides the former with the weight of negotiation with various clubs and merchants, and the relationship between them is very close and common development. In the end, you're not an obscure underclass, and your half-season at Castilla has caught the attention of some clubs, and although the third tier isn't worth mentioning in the eyes of the giants, some teams that are not strong and need to inject fresh blood still see your ability. As long as you can continue to do so well at the end of the season, I'm sure the second tier of Europe's big four leagues and the weaker teams in the rest of the country's first tier will recognise your status. ”

Li Mudi is very familiar with Raul and trusts him very much, so he naturally has a good impression and a certain recognition of his agent, and after careful consideration for a while, he thinks that he wants to get better development prospects and really needs the help of an excellent agent, and after consulting Raul who is driving, he decided to find an agent. So Li Mudi turned his head to the direction of the co-pilot and asked very bluntly: "So if I sign up with your brokerage company, who will be my agent?" How will it help me design my career path? How much is the rake? ”

Hearing this, Gines was already confident about Xiao Li's arrest, and replied with a smile: "If everything goes well, I will become your agent, and you will also be the fourth direct client in my hands at present, the previous four are Raul, Hesse, Deulofeu and Cheryshev, and after you come, I will transfer the Russian to other agents in the company." As for your future, I think it's a good idea to leave Castile in the summer, and we'll break it down in detail on a case-by-case basis. 8% for contracts and 15% for business would be an appropriate percentage. ”

"Hey!" Before Li Mudi could respond, Raul on the side issued a "protest" first: "You and I both sign a contract for 10% and 17%, but now you give Li such a low ratio, what does it mean?" Don't think well of him, or do you treat me as the wronged leader? Of course, this is obviously a joke.

Gines also smiled happily and explained to Li Mudi: "It's also the first time I've worked with a young coach like you, saying that it's a Celestial Empire but has Spanish nationality, I think it should be very developed on your Celestial Empire's side, and there has never been a top coach of the yellow race in the European continent before, so this is just an attempt, and I hope to get a good result." ”

"Oh, I said that, it turns out that you are using Li to practice, and you also have a fancy to the interests of the Celestial Empire, and you see that their football circle is booming, and you want to get involved." Raul is still obviously on Li Mudi's side, "The percentage of the commission has to be reduced a little more, otherwise with Li's current status, there will be many agents who take the initiative to seek cooperation, and you don't have any advantage." ”

The Spanish football predator helplessly watched the "bad friend" dismantle his own table there, smiled and shook his head, "I can't imagine that you still have such a 'mean' side, it's really 'see you for a long time'!" Then he turned to the back row and said, "Then 7%, 12%, the first contract is like this, and then it will be booked later, depending on the situation, how about it?" ”

This condition could not be more generous, and Li Mudi naturally readily agreed. It's all my own people, so if a verbal agreement is reached, it's official, and the contract can be signed later. Since then, the rookie coach can be regarded as a person with an agent, and he is in a very good mood.

Raul's apartment in New York is not small, about 500 square meters, and the rent is expensive. When he got off the bus at the door, his wife, Mamen Sanz, was already waiting outside with her five children. Jorge, Ugo, Héctor, Mateo and the little princess Maria were all familiar with Li Muddy, and after hugging and kissing each other on the cheek, the family of seven entered the house with Gines and Li Mudi to prepare for the feast.

Dinner was prepared by Ma Man and the chef at home, typical Spanish food, paella, ham, fried fish, pies, and the most touching thing for Li Mudi was that there was a legendary American Chinese food specially prepared for him: Zuo Zongtang chicken and broccoli fried beef, not to mention, tears!

During the dinner, everyone was talking about their own interesting stories, and Maria, who was only 6 years old, told her interesting experience in kindergarten, which made everyone laugh, and Li Mudi even kissed her little face "fiercely", pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

After the meal, the children were led by Maman to take a walk in the garden outside the house. The three men drank coffee in the living room while discussing the future development of Li Mudi. Through the scouting system, Li Mudi has not yet found a suitable team, after all, with his current fame and qualifications, it is some small teams that can put him in charge of the coach, and in terms of potential, there is no development of Castile who will be promoted to La Liga next year. Genes plans to hype up a few times at the right time to quickly increase Li Mudi's popularity in Europe, of course, this requires very good results as a guarantee, and Xiao Li is still very confident in this.

After a good conversation, Gines went back to the hotel he had booked nearby to rest, while Li Mudi settled down in the guest room of Raul's house. The next day is Christmas Eve, and Li Mudi and Raul's family will go shopping in Manhattan to buy "New Year's goods" for the upcoming Christmas.
