465 In the service of the Heavenly King

"Rist, you're ......"

The long-awaited negotiations have finally come to an end. Huntelaar and Afelai negotiate relatively easily, as they are both direct youth players from PSV Eindhoven. Rist only found the two of them from PSV Eindhoven's academy and became their agent. In fact, from another aspect, it was Lister who poached the players of PSV Eindhoven.

So their negotiations ended quickly. Huntelaar received an annual salary of 600,000 euros because of his 17 Eredivisie goals last season. Although it is not very high, it is the Eredivisie after all, and the salary of the Eredivisie is not high. Huntelaar is only twenty-one years old, and his annual salary of 600,000 euros is not too little. Of course, Rist knows that Huntelaar is the future Eredivisie marksman, and the increase in salary is not a matter of words.

Afelai, on the other hand, is even simpler. Although Afelai is a talent in the PSV Eindhoven Academy, he is only 18 years old this year and is not yet a regular in the Eindhoven first team. Fortunately, PSV Eindhoven is very optimistic about Afelai's future, so his salary has also reached 360,000 euros.

There isn't much in the contract between the two of them, but it's different with Messi. Lionel Messi is widely regarded as PSV Eindhoven's best academy player in more than a decade, having just started the season and made just four starts and seven substitutes, but has already scored two goals and provided three assists. It caused a sensation in the entire Eredivisie football world.

If it weren't for Messi's young age, Hiddink would definitely have made him a regular for PSV Eindhoven. But Hiddink is a handsome man and won't do anything to help him grow. So Messi is still the main force once. Just play as a substitute.

At the age of seventeen, Messi is already a sensation in the entire Eredivisie football world. Such a genius Riester will not give up, and neither will PSV Eindhoven. Van Hanyi wanted to take full ownership of Messi, but Rist didn't budge.

Rist had a verbal agreement with Arneson back then, and when Messi signed a professional contract, the issue of his ownership also needed to be discussed. Rist was only willing to give half of the ownership to Eindhoven. But with only half ownership, Van Hanyi was very dissatisfied. He was willing to pay 2 million euros to buy half of Rist's ownership.

But Rist wouldn't agree. Messi is a genius, a top talent. Rist was sure of that. Although there are many people in history who have questioned the gold content of his Ballon d'Or and his performance in the national team, no one denies that he was the first person in world football at that time. He and Cristiano. Ronaldo and the two are vying for the first place in world football. Messi is ahead of Cristiano. Ronaldo's. Such a talent. Rist knew that Messi's light could not be stopped.

As long as he performs well in PSV Eindhoven, his value will continue to rise. Coupled with Rist's boasting, Messi will be worth more than 30 million in the next two or three years. Of course, if his performance is a little better, even if it is 40 million, it is not impossible. In this way, half of the ownership is left, which is tens of millions of euros. It even reached 20 million euros in revenue. How could Riest give half of the ownership to Eindhoven for a small benefit?

So Rist topped it. There is no compromise in this regard. After the worst, Fan Hanyi was really helpless. After all, Eindhoven and Riester had a verbal agreement. So it can only be acceptance.

In the new water, Lister didn't want much. It's just an annual salary of 400,000 euros. And the signing fee is not high, only half a million euros. After the signing, Van Hanyi breathed a long sigh of relief, although he was not very satisfied with this contract. But after all, it was signed, leaving Messi. It's just that there is a thorn in my heart, and half of the ownership of a top talent like Messi still belongs to Lister.

"Harry, it doesn't need to be like that. Following Ronaldo, PSV Eindhoven will once again have a talent who has the potential to become the king of the ball. ”

"Maybe."

Van Hanyi shook his head, Rist's bastard was too tough. But Van Hanyi was still very happy. After Messi's emergence this season, there are not only one or two clubs interested in him. A lot of European powerhouses are interested in him and want to take him away. Thankfully, he has now been signed.

After the negotiations, Rist and Messi's father and brother all walked out. This is Messi's first professional contract, so Rist will take Messi's family with him.

"Jorge, let's find a place to have coffee. I have something to discuss with you. ”

Rist went to a nearby café with Messi's father and Messi's brother, and handed him what he had carefully prepared.

"Jorge, look at it. This is what I have for Leo. ”

Jorge. Messi has also been in a good mood lately. When Messi had no money for treatment, their family was very difficult. It can be said that it was difficult for them to even guarantee their basic livelihood at that time, and it was even more impossible for Messi to continue playing. As for getting Messi to be treated, it's simply not possible. Although it was very helpless, but at the time it was said that Jorge. Messi couldn't have imagined that there would be today.

I met Rist and came to Holland. Now the family has a job in the Netherlands, and Messi is finally playing. Although this season has only just emerged, it is already hailed as a once-in-a-decade talent.

Look at what Rist sent, Jorge. Messi looked at it carefully. Although because Messi plays, so Jorge. Messi has also learned a lot about this. But after all, he only started to come into contact with some other things when he was older, so many things are not so easy to understand. Just like what Rist gave him now, he can actually understand the general meaning at best, but he doesn't understand many specific things.

"Lister, I see. But there are a lot of things I don't quite understand. ”

Jorge. Messi can pretend in front of others, but there is no need for him in front of Rist. When Rist found Messi's family, he knew better than anyone else what Messi's family was like. So he doesn't hide it at all.

"Jorge, I'll tell you the truth. I've got a lot of good players, you know that. Talented players in their twenties, I don't have one or two in my hands. But among the few talented players I value the most, Leo's future is the one I am most optimistic about. ”

For this Lister did not hide anything at all. He continued: "Leo is seventeen years old now, and he looks young, but I have to think about the long term. Recently, I got Kaka's portrait rights, and I thought a lot about promoting his portrait rights. In the future of a player's income, commercial income far exceeds salary. Commercial income requires a clear image of the player. ”

Jorge. Messi and Matthias. Messi all nodded. Because Rist has tried to put it as simple as possible.

"I'm not an expert in this area, but I have a lot of experience. My number one player Pavel. Nedved, his image is rigidity. I've always built up the image of him as a tough guy, and the advertisements he receives are all ads in this regard. Just like the cars he endorses, they are all the kind of cars that are tough. The brands after his cooperation with Puma are also that kind of atmospheric image. And not fancy or extravagant. And Kaka is sunny, handsome, and healthy. Therefore, the advertisements he took over should also be in line with this image. As for being like David Beckham is fashion, he wants to be at the forefront of fashion. Each player needs to be positioned in his own way. ”

"I have my own opinion about Leo. Leo doesn't belong to the handsome aspects of Kaka, Totti, and Owen in the first place, and it doesn't match the image of a tough guy like Nedved. So my team and I have studied it specifically, and we think Messi should be the type of low-key, unassuming, kid-next-door kind. ”

Jorge. Messi saw that Rist was going to continue. So wave your hand. "Rist." You are a professional in this area. Aren't we already giving it to your company about image rights? For you, I am relieved. ”

Start Jorge. Messi thought it was something. In this regard, Rist is a professional. Even if Rist is not a professional. But all of Rist's companies are professionals. Now many players are willing to cooperate with Lister and hand over their image rights to Lister. Hence Jorge. Messi doesn't quite understand what Rist means now.

"Jorge, you're in too much of a hurry. In that case, I'll just tell you about it. According to my prediction, it is not impossible that Leo will have tens of millions of commercial revenues a year in the future, or even 20 million or 30 million. ”

Jorge. Messi and Matthias. Messi was surprised and looked at each other. Because Beckham, the highest earner in European football, earned only 25 million euros in 04, of which commercial income was only 12 million euros. Rist even said that Messi's business income in the next year can be 20 million or 30 million.

"Jorge, don't be surprised. Five years ago, a weekly salary of 80,000 euros was already available to world-class stars, and a weekly salary of 100,000 euros was only possible for top superstars. But now in European football, especially in the Premier League, there are not one or two players with more than 100,000 pounds. Five years ago, Beckham earned only a little a year, but now it's 25 million euros. The development of world football is already changing with each passing day, and the weekly salary of 150,000 pounds, 200,000 pounds, or even 300,000 pounds will appear in the future. ”

Commercial football is just getting started now, and it will grow faster and faster in the future. Rist looked at Messi's father and brother, who were a little stunned, and continued: "So I'm going to set up a department specifically for Leo. This organization is full of professionals, and I want them to serve Leo alone. Pulling advertisements, positioning Leo, the usual image design, including the agent who usually serves him, I want Leo to do it perfectly. ”

"I hope that you, Jorge, and Matthias will participate."

Messi is the king of the future, and Rist wants to build Messi from now on. A cash cow like Messi can't be built casually. Rist wants to keep improving and build the best team around Messi. In Lister's plan, Messi's income in the coming year should be around 40 million euros. In this way, Lister should also earn five or six million a year from Messi, excluding other commissions.

"...... Lister"

Jorge was very happy. If it is not clear when he came to Europe with Rist, he has been in the Netherlands for six years. Therefore, he knows better than anyone what Riester is capable of now.

Take a look at the many top stars who are currently making waves in European football. Like Juventus' Nedved, Barcelona's Villa, Yaya. Toure and Jankulovski, Manchester United's Joaquin, Rosicky, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Liverpool's Gilberto. Silva, Vicente, Colo. Toure, Chelsea's Drogba, Peter. Cech.

All of them are stars worth tens of millions, and this is still part of Rist's players. In fact, there are advantages to entering a large company like Rist, and the biggest advantage is that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and you can use Rist's strong connections and strength to protect and develop yourself. But there are also many problems, the biggest one is how to get Lister's attention.

Now it is clear that Lister is fully rooting for Messi. With Rist's full support, then you will be able to get the most resources.

Looking at Jorge happily. Messi, Rist thought about it. In addition to Messi, Franco's Francois is also a very important person in Lister's mind. There should be no favoritism. (To be continued......)
