Volume I Chapter 33 Partners

As we enter mid-January, snow begins to fall in Amsterdam.

For Ye Qiu, who has lived in the south since he was a child and has never seen snow in his life, it is even more fresh and exciting than going to Thailand to see ladyboys, so after the snow stopped for a while, he took the opportunity to go out to a nearby supermarket to buy something.

Walking all the way, stepping on the snow on the ground, crunching, the sound is indescribable.

There are many cars parked on both sides of the road, and they are covered with a thick layer of snow, covering the whole car like a snow sculpture.

This reminded Ye Qiu of a joke video he had seen in his previous life, a little child saw a car parked at the door, tightly covered with snow shaking, he strangely stepped forward and wiped the snow on the window glass, only to find that someone inside was hiding inside to play with the car shock.

This joke made Ye Qiu feel funny, and looked around, the thief's head and thief's brain seemed to be looking to see if the cars on both sides were shaking, but of course he couldn't find it.

However, he got to see Amsterdam's most famous bicycle snow scene.

In Amsterdam, known as the capital of cycling, you can see bicycles parked outdoors everywhere, covered with a thick layer of snow, making this whole row of bicycles look like a work of art, which is really beautiful.

For Ye Qiu, who had never seen a snow scene before, everything here was so new, but for people who had lived here for a long time, all this was accustomed to them, and they were even a little bored.

Walking home from the supermarket and passing by the bus stop, Ye Qiu saw a woman.

A woman so beautiful that you almost dare not look at her.

To say that European women generally do not conform to Ye Qiu's aesthetics, because he doesn't like women with thick lines, he likes women with soft aesthetics and delicate facial features, so he doesn't like many European and American women, and even Hollywood female stars.

However, this woman standing at the bus stop and waiting for the bus completely overturned some of his past prejudices against the lack of beautiful women in the Netherlands.

Under the long mid-parted blonde hair is an incomparably delicate beauty, a white down jacket with a pair of pure black leggings, and a pair of black motorcycle boots on his feet, the whole person is black and white, especially the pair of slender legs, which is simply an impeccable golden ratio.

This woman looked very young, with her hands in her down jacket, standing casually in the snow, her legs in a very casual posture, which could easily make people feel extremely elegant, mistakenly thinking that she was seeing a snow elf.

"Who is this woman?" Ye Qiu was strange, is there such a person around here?

The woman was waiting for the car, and when she saw Ye Qiu passing by across the road, she nodded with a smile.

"Acquaintance?" Ye Qiu was even more strange.

At this moment, a sedan came across the road, braked suddenly, and stopped at the bus stop, and then I saw a man in the same black and white cow outfit rushing out of the car, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and shouting loudly, "Eliza, I've finally waited for you!" ”

Although he was on the other side of the road, Ye Qiu could hear it clearly, "It turns out that she is that Eliza!" ”

This time Ye Qiu had to admire Roland's prophecy, this guy originally said that Eliza would be a big beauty, Ye Qiu and Huang Chu didn't believe it, but now it seems that this guy is really right, not only a big beauty, but also a stunning beauty that is beautiful enough to make all men fascinated.

However, this beauty is clearly in trouble at this moment.

If you follow the practice of Taiwanese idol dramas, at this time, Ye Qiu should bravely step forward, come to a hero to save the beauty, and then be courteous, and then use his spring-like eloquence to make Eliza's heart pound, and promise to each other.

"I'll it, the male protagonists of idol dramas generally have a lot of disasters and difficulties, ranging from terminal illness to trouble, who wants to be whoever!" Ye Qiu shook his head, more things are better than less, he still went home to eat instant noodles.

When he returned home, Ye Qiu ordered himself a pack of noodles and added some beef to it, and it was dinner.

This can't help but make him nostalgic for the days when there was Huang Chu, at least during that time he said goodbye to instant noodles completely, and enjoyed the chef's food every day, but now that it is gone, his heart is nostalgic.

"No wonder people say that if you want to tie a man's heart, you must first tie his stomach!" Ye Qiu touched his belly, "You, you, you're all spoiled by Achu!" ”

Just when Ye Qiu was having fun, he heard the doorbell of the gate ringing.

"Strange thing, who?" Ye Qiu put down the bowl, walked over, and opened the door directly, but saw that it was the beautiful Eliza standing at the door, why did she come?

"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu!" Eliza gracefully raised her right hand and greeted with a smile.

"You know me?" Ye Qiu was now full of strangeness.

Eliza smiled again, a smile that was beautiful enough to make any man's heart move.

"As a weak single woman, you should always care about your new male neighbor, right? Besides, if it was a month ago, it might have been difficult to find out who you are, but a month later, it's very, very easy, you say, right? ”

Ye Qiu smiled embarrassedly, he knew that Eliza was talking about the match with Eindhoven reported in the newspaper.

"By the way, you ...... Friends in cow costumes ......" Ye Qiu pointed to the car across the road, and the Dutchman in the cow costume was revealed in the rolled down window.

"Oh, it's okay, I told him, I'll spend the night with you tonight!" Eliza had a nonchalant expression on her face.

"In ...... Staying overnight with me? Ye Qiu wanted to confess very much, he was definitely not a casual man.

It's just that, in case, if you are not careful, you will get up casually, then you don't know what to do.

"Hee-hee," Eliza smiled, "won't you invite me to come in and sit down?" ”

Ye Qiu is not stupid, Zhilu said that Eliza just borrowed him to get rid of the cow suit, and he quickly thought of one more thing, that is, the address of the cow suit must not be wrong, but Eliza deliberately gave the wrong house number.

"What a smart and terrible woman!" Ye Qiu sighed, got out of the way, and acquiesced to her entering the house.

"Xie Lu, thank you for your compliment!" Eliza nodded and smiled, and went straight in, not at all wary.

Ye Qiu closed the door, looked through the window next to him, and found that the cow's cart was still waiting outside, obviously still not believing it.

"Where's your girlfriend? Absence? Eliza had apparently noticed the instant noodles in the living room.

"In China!" Ye Qiu didn't deny it, he had been thinking about it for a long time, "By the way, Miss Eliza, should you apologize to me?" ”

Eliza understood what Ye Qiu was talking about, and nodded, "Yes, so I made a special trip to apologize this time, I'm sorry!" ”

When she said this, Ye Qiu was a little embarrassed, and smiled.

"This house was uninhabited before, so I deliberately wrote the wrong house number, and the matter has passed, but I didn't expect you to suddenly move in and cause you unnecessary trouble, I'm really sorry!"

Ye Qiu smiled, he didn't know what he was doing, sitting opposite Eliza, his eyes were always aimed at her slender thighs, intentionally or unintentionally, he had to admit that he was already very beautiful from a distance, and up close, these legs were definitely comparable to those top models.

If the model only has a figure, then this Eliza also has an angelic face.

"By the way, forgot to introduce yourself, Eliza? Moon, you can think of me as a Dutchman or as a Frenchman! ”

Ye Qiu was surprised, "What are you doing?" ”

"My mother is French, I was born in Paris, I grew up there, and it was only in these years that I returned to Amsterdam, my father's hometown, so, in my own definition, I am a Frenchman, but according to your Chinese tradition, I should be a Dutch!"

Ye Qiu really didn't expect that the woman in front of him was still a mixed-race child, no wonder, people say that mixed-race children are easy to produce beautiful women, and now it seems that this is really not wrong.

"Here's my business card!" Eliza handed over a business card.

Ye Qiu took it and found that the woman in front of him had also set up a housing agency, and secretly wrote it down in his heart.

The last time I was looking for a house, I was looking for a big head, and now it's good to know a real estate agent.

"If there's a good house next time, remember to introduce it to me!" Ye Qiu smiled casually.

Eliza agreed, "I also introduced the house to one of your players!" After seeing Ye Qiu's puzzled eyes, she smiled and uncovered the mystery, "Eric? Abidal! ”

"I'm a college student, and I've always started this real estate agency for some of my alumni and occasionally some of the rental agents in Amstelveen, and Eric was introduced to me."

Ye Qiu had heard Abidal talk about it, but no one had mentioned Eliza at that time.

"It turns out that your school still allows you to start your own business!" Ye Qiu was a little surprised, he was not very familiar with the university system in the Netherlands, but since Huang Chu was able to work part-time outside, Eliza was able to open her own shop and do business, which should be considered relatively free.

"It's not a business, it's a part-time job!" Eliza said modestly, "However, after the Abidal incident, I have learned some about this situation, I know that every year there will be a lot of players on the Ajax side who need to find a house nearby or change houses, and even other related services, I wonder if I have considered finding a professional real estate agency to cooperate?" ”

"Probably not!" Ye Qiu shook his head, if anything, he still needed to have a headache for the house for so long?

"Didn't you ever worry about the placement of players?" Eliza asked with a slight furrow of her eyebrows.

Ye Qiu smiled bitterly, "It seems to be!" ”

He remembered that he had read a book in his previous life, which focused on this issue, not to mention Ajax, even if it was enlarged to the whole of Europe, it was a pity that such a huge business was not paid attention to by the club.

However, immediately, Ye Qiu's nose smelled a slight smell and looked at Eliza, this woman was able to see the business opportunities in this area, proving that she was really business-minded, "Are you interested?" ”

"Aren't you the same?" Eliza is also a smart person, and she can see the brilliance flashing in Ye Qiu's eyes at a glance, but she attaches more importance to not only placement, but also cooperation with Ajax.

Maybe in other places, Ajax is not very influential, but in the city of Amsterdam, working with Ajax, others may not understand, but Eliza knows very well how much business opportunities are hidden here.

"Let's work together!" Eliza thought of her own investigation of Ye Qiu.

Although Ye Qiu is the newly rising second team manager, Eliza is very optimistic about Ye Qiu's future at Ajax, and he may not be able to take the position of head coach next season, but he can at least be able to take charge of De Tokmost.

As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do, and Eliza understands this truth.

"Cooperation?" Ye Qiu smiled helplessly, "I don't have any money!" ”

Eliza smiled, as if she felt a little funny about Ye Qiu's confession, "Then it's better like this, let's cooperate, I'll pay the cost, you are responsible for getting Ajax, after success, let's seven or three!" ”

I have to say that when it comes to doing business, this woman really has the true character of a strong woman and is full of courage.

Ye Qiu thought for a while, "Ajax is very strict about this aspect, and it is very difficult to convince them to authorize!" He can also see that Eliza has not seen the business opportunities he sees yet, she just wants to cooperate with Ajax and get Ajax's authorization.

"June Fourth!" Eliza was also in earnest.

"It's better to wait until I talk to them another day to understand the situation!" Ye Qiu was still not very satisfied.

Eliza knows this guy in her heart, he seems to be gentle, but his abacus is better than anyone else's.

On one side he said that it was difficult, but on the other side he said that he wanted to find someone to understand the situation, if he was not sure, or did not know anyone, who would he go to understand the situation? It's not just a subtle reminder to her, I understand people, everything is OK!

"Five-five, it can't be higher, I pay all the capital and operating costs, you are an empty glove white wolf!" Eliza doesn't work, so I don't want to cooperate.

"I don't agree with what you say, for any business, being able to tap and grasp business opportunities, that's the most important thing, as for money and investment, do you think it's important?" Ye Qiu deliberately refuted her words.

What Eliza realized from Ye Qiu's words was another meaning, that is, as an outsider, what she saw might only be a small aspect, but as an insider, Ye Qiu saw something deeper and broader than herself.

The circle of football is relatively closed compared to the outside world.

Just like Ajax, although this old club has a large fan base, it doesn't realize how valuable their commercial image rights are, and now Ajax's two biggest sponsors are jerseys, Adidas, and the other is chest advertising, ABN AMRO, all of which have been old partners for many years.

In addition to these, the other sponsors are very small, and some even get the license by renting the shops at the Arena Stadium, so for Eliza, as long as she gets the license, she can carry out many aspects of operation and operation.

However, Ye Qiu is right, the key is to be able to get it.

"Do you want June Fourth?" Eliza looked at Ye Qiu with a smile, "It's too ruthless, isn't it?" ”

This was the first time she had seen Ye Qiu herself, but she had a feeling that she couldn't figure it out, at least the man in front of her was not like other men, he panicked when he saw her, could it be because of his beautiful and moving girlfriend?

"I want to say that resettlement is only part of the story, there are a lot of peripheral businesses that can be done, such as consulting, and I believe that there are many players who want to get a very complete report on the climate, food, entertainment, housing, education and other aspects of the city where their new club is located before the transfer!"

Even resettlement and consultation are only part of it, Ye Qiu feels that if you want to do it, there is still a very wide range of operations to operate, and you can even form a one-stop service industry chain around the players, including agent companies.

Ye Qiu has always felt that European football is a very strange world, especially in the coming years.

On the one hand, commercialization is extremely proliferating, club commercialization, player commercialization, commercialization everywhere, but on the other hand, there is an extreme lack of professional commercial operations, except for Manchester United, Real Madrid and a few other teams that have achieved excellent results in commercialization, others are very few that have done well.

As for the player's agent, it is more like a group of vampires and rice moths, they only know how to take commissions from the player's salary and transfer fee, but they don't know that they have huge commercial resources in their hands, and they don't know how to commercialize the player's image rights.

Just like those movie stars in Hollywood, their remuneration is only a part of their income, and some of them don't even account for the majority, they get extra income through some sponsorships, endorsements, activities, etc., big stars have the market and price of big stars, and small stars have the audience range of small stars.

But what about European football?

Besides Beckham, and Cristiano? In addition to Ronaldo and a very small number of other people, what other businesses are running well?

In Ye Qiu's view, the agent should not be like that, but should reach a win-win situation between the club, players, sponsors and other parties, take what they need, help the club sell and introduce players, help players strive for more income and establish personal brand value, and help sponsors get the commercial benefits they want.

But today's agents are obviously not, many of them are relatives, family members and the like of players, and they don't know how to operate in business, so they always can't do it for a long time, and they can't do it big.

Figer, Mascady, Moji Jr...... All of them have been in the limelight, but soon, either they made money and left, or they fell quickly, and they all disappeared, and then a new batch of people such as Mendes and Hidalgo rose rapidly and continued to follow the path taken by their predecessors, among which Mendes was better, at least operated Mourinho and Cristiano? Ronaldo has two valuable brands, but what about the others?

Of course, there may be people who are aware of the business opportunities here, but it is difficult for people who are not in the field of football to penetrate into this circle.

There is a way to prevent people is indispensable, Ye Qiu only revealed a little bit of fur, and the details are still left to the cooperation.

But this already surprised Eliza, because she found that what Ye Qiu thought was more ambitious and promising than she thought, and if it really worked, then this business would be bigger and surprisingly big than what she had outlined before.

Ye Qiu also saw that she was tempted, which proved that he was not mistaken, this woman was really business-minded, so he immediately stretched out his hand, "I like to take the initiative, and I don't like to be verbose, seventy-three, let's start with Amsterdam!" ”

As long as he can get Ajax's authorization, the investment is actually not large, so Ye Qiu naturally can't give Eliza too many shares.

"Then I'm not going to work for you?" Eliza glanced at him with disgust, originally she planned to let Ye Qiu work for her, why did she become a part-time job for her by herself?

"You can say no!" Ye Qiu smiled and nodded.

Eliza hesitated, stretched out her hand, and shook it with him, "No wonder my father said that you can't do business with Chinese!" ”

"And you still do it?" Ye Qiu scolded with a smile.

"Buy a lesson!" Eliza shrugged playfully.

After negotiating the cooperation, Ye Qiu made the relationship and authority of the two clearer, "I am determined to be a head coach, so no matter who you are right against, you are the boss of the company!" ”

There are many things that need to be avoided, just like Moji's son opened a brokerage company, and Ferguson's son also opened a brokerage company, and there are many, many more examples of the same, but they are more famous, so they are known.

But Moggie and Ferguson themselves will not be easily involved, because they have to avoid taboos.

"No problem, I'll register a company right away, you can coach with peace of mind, and the company's affairs will be left to me!" Eliza agreed with a smile, she felt a little aggrieved just now, but now it seems that although she has no shares, she has real power.

Of course, Ye Qiu was not afraid that she would regret it, after all, the company needed him every step of the way.

"By the way, in a few days, Hans? Westerhof will come to our school for an event, and when the time comes, I will give you a gift to congratulate us on our happy cooperation! Eliza's smile was a little sly.

"What gift?"

"Then you'll know the truth!"

Ye Qiu shook his head, "He and I are colleagues, don't mess around!" ”

"Don't pretend, he's treating you like that, I don't believe you don't want to give him a little bit of power, and you can rest assured that I will do something, I promise that nothing will happen!" Eliza had figured out Ye Qiu's character.

After finishing speaking, Eliza stood up from the sofa, her slender legs and delicate figure couldn't help but make Ye Qiu's eyes light up again, and her heart was amazed, this woman is really a natural stunner!

"Alright, it's time for me to go too!"

Eliza looked at Ye Qiu again, and said regretfully in a regretful tone: "I originally planned to stay with you for the night, but you led the latest order, so I had to obey my fate, next time!" ”

After speaking, she was about to leave, but just as Ye Qiu got up to see her off, she suddenly turned around and smiled at Ye Qiu with a seductive smile, "By the way, handsome guy, don't stare at someone's legs next time, it's very rude!" ”

She said it aggressively, but Ye Qiu blushed with embarrassment, and wanted to say, aren't you dressed like this just to let people see your legs?

But can you say that?

Looking at such a woman, saying such things, it is really difficult to think crookedly, unless he is not a normal man!
