PS1: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, free books don't need to spend money, and it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~
PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.
Zhuang Mingge doesn't need to worry too much about the affairs of the partnership, after all, his assets mainly come from various investments and stocks, and there is hardly anything related to industry. Even if it is Adidas and other companies that control most of the shares, Zhuang Mingge has only taken the general direction of development, and the specific operation and management are completely left to his subordinates to deal with, unless something big happens, he generally will not ask.
Therefore, as long as Zhuang Mingge transfers a loyal enough person from the family to watch these stocks and investments in his and Rebecca's names, then nothing will happen.
Compared to a successful partnership that only needs to hold on to its existing investments, it is much more difficult to find a successor for GM. After all, it's not so easy to find a manager who has the ability to manage its many agents and signed stars, so that they don't make any trouble, and at the same time can constantly add fresh blood to the company.
Valentini, the former general manager of GM, was a good choice, but this gentleman was seconded from the Groz family, and this general manager was recalled by the elder Groz this summer because of his outstanding work performance over the years, and it is said that he wanted to be the representative of the Groze family to work at Unicredit Bank, which had just been established for less than two years. Under such circumstances, Zhuang Mingge naturally did not want to get back Valentini, who had been determined to be promoted.
So, after some in-depth excavation and screening of the memories of his previous life, Zhuang Mingge, who had been thinking about it for a while, finally found a very suitable candidate for the vacant general manager position of GM Company!
Jorge Mendes sits in his office at the headquarters of the company in Gestefit on August 11 in Porto, Portugal, quietly waiting for a big man to arrive.
Jorge Méndez, who has only just started his career for less than two years, is a well-known broker in the Iberian Peninsula and runs a small brokerage company. With his current fame and star resources in his hands, not to mention compared with GM Company, which can almost be said to be a giant in the agent industry, even compared with Vega under GM Company, it is far inferior. After all, Vega has brokerage contracts with members of Portugal's golden generation such as Figo, Pinto, and Fernando Couto, and Mendes, who is just a rookie, naturally can't be on an equal footing with this big guy.
To illustrate here, there are two types of agents under GM, one is the agent who has signed a work contract with the company, and the operation of its players must be completely subject to the company's distribution if necessary, and the agent receives a certain percentage of the commission from the player's contracts and transfers; The other is like Vega, who has certain resources in his hands, and for some reason or purpose is "attached" to the name of GM Company, this kind of agent has a greater degree of freedom and can operate the players under their own name, and GM Company only collects commissions and so-called "management" fees from contracts reached through the company's channels, and there is not much constraint on these agents.
Of course, although the second type of broker has more freedom and room to maneuver, don't forget that rights and obligations are relative, and you are doomed to give up something while you get something, and no one is exempt.
Take the case of Figo who was forced to transfer to Real Madrid due to huge debts, for example, if Vega and GM signed a first-class brokerage contract, then when this happens, GM will act accordingly according to Figo's own wishes. If Figo wants to join Real Madrid, then it is good to say that he can go through the normal transfer process and get the Portuguese to the Bernabeu; But if Figo himself does not want to leave Barcelona, then GM will pay the total value of $30 million directly to Florentino under the signed brokerage contract, thus relieving Figo's worries.
It's a pity that Vega, who was unwilling to give away Figo's cash cow at that time, signed only a second-class brokerage contract with GM, so in the end, this huge debt could only be borne by Figo and Vega, forcing Figo to be infamous as "Judas" and transferred to Real Madrid at the world's first price this summer.
However, even if the first type of agent contract was signed at that time, it does not mean that these players and agents can do whatever they want. For things like Figo privately betting with people and ending up in huge debts, the company will wipe their butts only once or twice, but if it is more than three times, then I'm sorry, you can ask for another smart yourself, our small temple can't afford a big Buddha like you......
"Welcome to Chairman Corleone." At this time, Mendes, who had been informed by his subordinates, had already walked to the gate, and welcomed Zhuang Mingge into the headquarters of Gestefurt with a sense of unease, "I am very honored that you can take time to visit our company, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your visit......
Although Zhuang Mingge is younger than Mendes, this does not prevent Mendes from facing this big man with a cautious attitude that is far from being comparable to himself. The two sides can be said to be very different in terms of identity and status, and Mendes does not dare to be a little sloppy and sloppy. If he accidentally offended the other party, the consequences would be beyond Mendes' power.
"Alright, Mr. Mendez, I don't need to say that again." Zhuang Mingge, who followed Mendes into the office, interrupted the other party's politeness with a smile and said, "Time is pressing, I think we should try our best to enter the main topic, presumably Mr. Mendes, you also want to know the purpose of my trip, right?" ”
"yes, I'm really curious." Mendez nodded, first called the secretary to bring in two cups of coffee, and then sat down opposite Zhuang Mingge and asked, "Since Chairman Corleone has said so, then I will take the liberty of asking, I don't know if you deigned to come to me today, did you tell me to do something?" If it's something I can do, I'm sure I'll go to the soup in the next place! ”
"Mr. Mendes, here's the thing......" Seeing Mendes say so straightforwardly, Zhuang Mingge's heart was very satisfied, he likes to talk to this kind of self-aware person the most, because it can save him a lot of saliva, "I hope you can take the Restefit brokerage company you created to merge into GM company, after the matter is completed, you will own 5% of the shares of GM company, and you will also serve as the general manager and CEO of the company!" ”
